Daily Memory Save Skill
Periodically reviews conversation history and writes memory files to maintain agent continuity across sessions.
⚠️ Privacy & Transparency Notice
Before installing, understand what this skill does:
- Main-session access: This skill runs in your main session and reads your conversation history to extract memories. Only install if you trust your workspace environment.
- Silent by default: The default prompt operates silently. If you want notifications when memories are saved, modify the cron prompt (see "Notification Mode" below).
- Persistent files: Writes to
memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md and MEMORY.md in your workspace. These contain conversation summaries. Ensure your workspace is private and backed up.
- No network access: This skill makes no network calls. It only reads conversation history and writes local files. Your runtime should enforce this — the skill's claim alone is not a security guarantee.
- No credentials: This skill does not use or store any API keys, tokens, or secrets.
Recommended: Review saved memory files periodically. Delete anything you don't want persisted.
What It Does
Runs as a recurring system event in the main session. Reviews recent conversations for anything worth remembering and writes daily memory notes.
Cron Setup
Schedule as a main-session system event running every 2 hours during waking hours:
Schedule: 0 9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23 * * *
Target: main (system event)
Silent Mode (default)
AUTOMATION: Daily memory save. Review today's conversation for anything worth remembering.
Look for: decisions made, preferences expressed, new info about people/projects,
lessons learned, things the user asked you to remember, emotional context worth noting.
Create or update workspace/memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md (today's date) with a daily note
capturing what matters. If anything is significant enough for long-term memory,
also update workspace/MEMORY.md.
If it's been a quiet day with nothing notable, skip silently.
Be selective — capture signal, not noise. Write like future-you will need this context.
Do NOT message the user about this — just do it quietly.
Notification Mode (opt-in)
If you prefer to be notified when memories are saved, replace "Do NOT message the user" with:
After saving, send a brief summary of what was captured (1-2 lines max).
Memory File Format
Daily notes (memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md)
Raw daily logs organized by topic/time. Include:
- Decisions made
- Project updates
- Preferences expressed
- Lessons learned
- Notable interactions
Long-term memory (MEMORY.md)
Curated, distilled insights that persist beyond daily context. Updated when something is significant enough to remember long-term.
Key Design Decisions
- Main session target: Runs as a systemEvent in the main session so it has access to conversation history
- Silent by default: Configurable — see Notification Mode above
- Selective capture: Signal over noise — skip quiet periods entirely
- Dual-layer memory: Daily notes for raw context, MEMORY.md for distilled wisdom
Requirements
- OpenClaw with cron support
- Main session system event capability
- Writable
memory/ directory in workspace
