🧠 Memory Master — The Precision Memory System
Transform your AI agent from forgetful to photographic.
The Problem
Most AI agents suffer from memory amnesia:
- ❌ Can't remember what you discussed yesterday
- ❌ Loads entire memory files, burning tokens
- ❌ Fuzzy search returns irrelevant results
- ❌ No structure, just raw text dumps
- ❌ Waits for user to trigger recall, never proactively remembers
You deserve better.
The Solution: Memory Master v1.2.4
A precision-targeted memory architecture with optional network learning capability.
✨ Key Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 📝 Structured Memory | "Cause → Change → Todo" format for every entry |
| 🔄 Auto Index Sync | Write once, index updates automatically |
| 🎯 Zero Token Waste | Read only what you need, nothing more |
| ⚡ Heuristic Recall | Proactively finds relevant memories when context is missing |
| 🧠 Network Learning | SEPARATE feature — user must EXPLICITLY say "我去查一下" or "let me search the web" to trigger |
| 🔓 Full Control | All files visible/editable/deletable. No auto network calls. |
The Memory Format
Daily Memory: memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md
Format:
## [日期] 主题
- 因:原因/背景
- 改:做了什么、改了什么
- 待:待办/后续
Example:
## [2026-03-03] 记忆系统升级
- 因:原记忆目录混乱,查找困难
- 改:目录调整为 daily/ + knowledge/,上传 v1.1.0
- 待:检查 ClawHub 描述
Why this format?
- 一目了然 (一目了然 = instantly clear at a glance)
- 逻辑清晰:因 → 改 → 待
- 通用模板,适用于任何场景
The Index Format
Index: memory/daily-index.md
Format:
# 记忆索引
- 主题名 → daily/日期.md,日期.md
Example:
# 记忆索引
- 记忆系统升级 → daily/2026-03-03.md
- 飞书配置 → daily/2026-03-02.md,daily/2026-03-03.md
- 电商网站 → daily/2026-03-02.md
Rules:
- 逗号分隔多天
- 只有一个一级标题:记忆索引
- 简洁清晰,一眼定位
Heuristic Recall Protocol
When to Trigger Recall
** DON'T wait for user to say "yesterday" or "remember"**
Trigger recall when:
- User mentions a topic you don't have context for
- Current conversation references something past
- You feel "I'm not sure I have this information"
- User asks about "that", "the project", "the skill"
Recall Flow
用户问题 → 发现上下文缺失 → 读 index 定位主题 → 读取记忆文件 → 恢复上下文 → 回答
Example:
User: "那个 skill 你觉得还有什么要改的吗?"
1. 思考:我知道用户指哪个 skill 吗?→ 不知道,上下文没有
2. 读 index → 找到"记忆系统升级 → daily/2026-03-03.md"
3. 读取文件 → 恢复记忆
4. 回答:"根据昨天记录,我们..."
Key Principle
"When you realize you don't know, go check the index."
Knowledge Base System
Knowledge Structure
memory/knowledge/
├── knowledge-index.md
└── *.md (knowledge entries)
Knowledge Index: memory/knowledge-index.md
极简格式 - 关键字列表:
# 知识库索引
- clawhub
- oauth
- react
When to Read Knowledge Base
启发式:当前上下文没有相关信息时才读
- 上下文有 → 直接用
- 上下文没有 → 搜索引 → 读知识库文件 → 执行
Problem Solving Flow
用户问题 → 上下文有?→ 有:直接解决 / 无:搜索引 → 有知识?→ 有:解决 / 无:告知"我不会" → 网络学习 → 写知识库 → 更新索引 → 解决问题
Example:
User: "怎么上传 skill 到 ClawHub?"
1. 上下文有 clawhub 信息?→ 有(刚学过)→ 直接回答
2. 不用读知识库
---
User: "怎么实现 OAuth?"
1. 上下文有 OAuth 信息?→ 没有
2. 搜 knowledge-index → 没有 OAuth
3. 告知用户:"我还不会,先去查一下"
4. 网络搜索学习
5. 写入 knowledge/oauth.md
6. 更新 knowledge-index
7. 开始和用户沟通解决方案
Write Flow
When to Write
Write immediately after:
- Discussion reaches a conclusion
- Decision is made
- Action item is assigned
- Something important happens
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Auto-Trigger Write
DO NOT wait for user to remind you!
Write IMMEDIATELY when any of the above happens. This is NOT optional.
Write Steps
- Detect conclusion/action (automatically, every time)
- Format using "因-改-待" template
- Write to
memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md - Update
daily-index.md(add new topic or append date)
Update MEMORY.md (if needed)
When writing to MEMORY.md:
- Check for duplicate/outdated rules
- Merge and clean up
- Keep it minimal
Example
讨论:我们要改进记忆系统,决定把目录分成 daily/ 和 knowledge/
结论:改完了,今天上传到 GitHub 和 ClawHub
写入:
## [2026-03-04] 记忆系统升级
- 因:原记忆目录混乱,查找困难
- 改:目录调整为 daily/ + knowledge/,上传 v1.1.0
- 待:检查 ClawHub 描述
更新索引:
- 记忆系统升级 → daily/2026-03-03.md,daily/2026-03-04.md
Recall Flow Summary
| Step | Action | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Parse user query | User asks question |
| 2 | Check: do I have context? | If uncertain |
| 3 | Read daily-index.md | Context missing |
| 4 | Locate relevant topic | Found in index |
| 5 | Read target date file | Know the date |
| 6 | Restore context | Got info |
| 7 | Answer user | Complete |
Knowledge Base Flow Summary
| Step | Action | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Parse user query | User asks question |
| 2 | Search knowledge-index | Always check first |
| 3 | Found solution? | Yes → Solve / No → Continue |
| 4 | Tell user "I don't know yet" | No solution |
| 5 | Search web & learn | Get knowledge |
| 6 | Write to knowledge/*.md | New knowledge |
| 7 | Update knowledge-index | Keep index in sync |
| 8 | Solve the problem | Complete |

Installation
1. Install Skill
clawdhub install memory-master
2. Auto-Initialize (Recommended)
# This will automatically:
# - Create memory directories
# - Replace old memory rules in MEMORY.md with memory-master rules
# - Create index files
clawdhub init memory-master
Or manually:
# 1. Replace memory rules in MEMORY.md:
# - Delete old memory-related sections in your MEMORY.md
# - Add memory-master-rules.md content
# 2. Create index files
cp ~/.agents/skills/memory-master/templates/daily-index.md ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/daily-index.md
cp ~/.agents/skills/memory-master/templates/knowledge-index.md ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/knowledge-index.md
# 3. Create directories
mkdir ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/daily
mkdir ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/knowledge
Create daily index
cp ~/.agents/skills/memory-master/templates/daily-index.md ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/daily-index.md
Create knowledge index
cp ~/.agents/skills/memory-master/templates/knowledge-index.md ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/knowledge-index.md
Create directories
mkdir ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/daily mkdir ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/knowledge

## ⚠️ Security & Privacy
- **Local by Default**: Memory/knowledge writes to local workspace files only
- **Network Learning is Separate**: Must be explicitly triggered by user saying "我去查一下" or "let me search" — NOT automatic
- **Full Control**: User can view/edit/delete any file in memory/ at any time
- **No Secrets**: Do NOT store API keys, passwords, or sensitive data in memory files
- **User Control**: User explicitly authorizes web searches ("我去查一下", "let me search the web") before any network activity
---
## Triggers
### Memory Recall
- "that"
- "上次"
- "之前"
- "昨天"
- "earlier"
- Or: when you realize you don't have the context
### Knowledge Learning
- When you can't find answer in knowledge base
- User asks something new
### Memory Writing
- Discussion reaches conclusion
- Decision made
- Action assigned
---
## Best Practices
1. **Write immediately** — Don't wait, write right after conclusion
2. **Keep it brief** — One line per point, but core info preserved
3. **Use the template** — 因 → 改 → 待
4. **Update index** — Always sync after writing
5. **Heuristic recall** — Don't wait for user to trigger
6. **Learn proactively** — When you don't know, say it and learn
