Agent Memory Architecture

The Problem

Every time your AI agent starts a new session, it forgets everything. Your customers, your preferences, yesterday's decisions, last week's strategy — gone. You spend the first 10 minutes of every conversation re-explaining context that the agent already knew yesterday. This is the #1 problem every AI agent has, and it's the reason most AI workflows feel like Groundhog Day.

What You Get

• Daily memory logs — Automatic journaling of every significant interaction, decision, and outcome. Your agent writes down what happened today so tomorrow-agent can pick up where today-agent left off.
• Long-term memory curation — Distills daily logs into persistent knowledge: customer preferences, project status, recurring patterns, lessons learned. The difference between a notebook and wisdom.
• Structured recall — Organized memory with clear categories: people, projects, decisions, preferences, facts. Your agent doesn't just remember — it remembers efficiently. Finds the right context in milliseconds, not minutes.
• Session continuity — Seamless context handoff between sessions. Monday's agent knows what Friday's agent decided, why, and what happened next. No more "as I mentioned yesterday" when the agent has no idea what you mentioned yesterday.
• Memory maintenance — Periodic review and cleanup of stored knowledge. Outdated information gets archived, not deleted. Current context stays fresh and relevant.
• Privacy-aware storage — Sensitive information (financial data, personal details) gets appropriate handling. Memory files respect the same access controls as your other workspace files.

What Makes This Different From a Generic Prompt

• Architecture, not instructions — This isn't a prompt that says "remember things." It's a complete memory system with file structures, naming conventions, maintenance schedules, and retrieval patterns. The difference between telling someone "take notes" and giving them a filing system.
• Scales with time — Generic "remember this" prompts break down after a few sessions. This architecture is designed for months and years of accumulated knowledge. Memory gets better over time, not more cluttered.
• Retrieval-optimized — Not a giant text dump. Organized so your agent can find "what did we decide about pricing last month" without scanning 10,000 words of logs.
• Battle-tested patterns — Built from real long-running agent deployments. Knows which memory patterns work and which create more problems than they solve.

Anti-Patterns This Skill Knows to Avoid

• ❌ Never stores secrets (API keys, passwords) in memory files
• ❌ Never creates unbounded memory files that grow forever — maintains size limits
• ❌ Never overwrites existing memories without archiving — nothing is truly deleted
• ❌ Never shares memory contents in group chats or public contexts
• ❌ Never treats every interaction as equally worth remembering — curates ruthlessly
• ❌ Never stores raw conversation transcripts — distills to decisions and facts

Pairs Well With Everything

This is a foundational skill. Every other skill in your toolkit benefits from persistent memory:

• AI Cofounder ($49) — Remembers your business context, customers, and strategy across sessions
• Lead Research Engine ($39) — Tracks which leads have been contacted and their responses
• Financial Dashboard ($29) — Maintains historical financial trends for comparison
• GitHub Autopilot ($29) — Remembers codebase decisions and architectural context
• Content Pipeline ($29) — Tracks published content to avoid repetition
• Inbox Zero ($19) — Remembers email patterns and contact preferences
• Community Growth ($19) — Tracks community member engagement over time
• Sub-Agent Orchestrator ($14) — Maintains workflow history and learned optimizations

Setup

Install in under 5 minutes. Drop the SKILL.md into your OpenClaw workspace and your agent gains persistent memory immediately. No configuration needed — it starts remembering from the first session.
