Scoped Memory Manager

This skill upgrades an OpenClaw agent's memory architecture from a single, bloated MEMORY.md to a Scope-Based Memory system with automated REM Sleep (memory consolidation and decay).

Architecture

1. Global Router (MEMORY.md): Kept extremely lean. Only contains core identity, active focus, and an index of domain-specific memory files.
2. Domain-Specific Memory (memory/topics/*.md): Stores hyper-specific rules, constraints, and knowledge (e.g., shopify.md, rails.md). Retrieved dynamically via memory_search and memory_get only when relevant.
3. Automated REM Sleep: A scheduled background job (cron) that wakes up an isolated agent to compress daily logs, extract new patterns, prune outdated "trauma" constraints, and file the distilled knowledge into the correct topic files.

Installation & Setup

When the user asks to install or configure scoped memory / REM sleep, follow these steps:

1. Scaffold the Directory Structure

Run the setup script to create the necessary directories:

sh scripts/setup.sh

2. Schedule the REM Sleep Cron Job

Use the cron tool to schedule the weekly consolidation job. Call the cron tool with action: "add" and the following payload:

• name: "Memory REM Sleep (Consolidation)"
• schedule: { "kind": "cron", "expr": "0 3 * * 0" } (Sundays at 3:00 AM)
• sessionTarget: "isolated"
• delivery: { "mode": "announce" }
• payload:

  {
    "kind": "agentTurn",
    "message": "It is time for your weekly REM sleep cycle. Please read the current `MEMORY.md` and the daily log files (`memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`) from the past 7 days. Your task is to perform memory consolidation: \n1. Extract new patterns and important context from the logs.\n2. Review `MEMORY.md` and prune obsolete rules or constraints.\n3. Move domain-specific knowledge into the appropriate `memory/topics/*.md` files.\n4. Rewrite `MEMORY.md` to be a concise global router.\n5. Summarize what was added, moved, and forgotten."
  }
  

3. Migrate Existing Memory

If the agent already has a bloated MEMORY.md, proactively offer to read it and partition the content into memory/topics/*.md files right now.

Usage Guidelines

• Remind users that MEMORY.md is NOT for storing everything.
• When learning a new specific framework, proactively create a new topic file in memory/topics/ instead of polluting the global MEMORY.md.
