How OpenClaw Memory Actually Works

OpenClaw has TWO built-in memory layers (not 4, not complicated):

1. MEMORY.md — loaded at start of every DM session automatically
2. memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md — today's and yesterday's notes auto-loaded

Before compaction (when context fills up), OpenClaw automatically saves important context to these files. This is built-in — no plugins needed.

Why This Works

The #1 cause of "amnesia" is using ONE conversation for everything. Context fills up → compaction runs → older messages get summarized → context is lost.

The fix: separate threads per project. Each stays small, no compaction, no forgetting.

Who This Is For

• OpenClaw users frustrated their agent starts fresh every conversation
• Anyone working on multiple projects/clients with the same agent
• Users who hate repeating themselves
