Project Path

The first argument is the project path. Before doing anything else:

1. Extract the project path from the first argument
2. Verify the path exists
3. Work within that directory for all file operations and shell commands

Memory Status

Shows the current state of long-term memory (MEMORY.md) and short-term recalls pending promotion for the active OpenClaw workspace.

Usage

/skill cmd_instinct_status <project-path>

What to Do

1. Read MEMORY.md from the main workspace:

   cat ~/.openclaw/workspace-main/MEMORY.md
   

   If the file does not exist or is empty, note: "No MEMORY.md found — workspace has no long-term memory yet."

2. Count the ##-level headings in MEMORY.md to get the total number of memory sections.

3. Run memory status to show the index:

   openclaw memory status
   

4. Run promotion preview to show what is pending:

   openclaw memory promote
   

   (without --apply — preview only)

5. Display the output:

============================================================
  MEMORY STATUS
============================================================

  Workspace: ~/.openclaw/workspace-main/
  MEMORY.md sections: <count>

## LONG-TERM MEMORY (MEMORY.md)

<full MEMORY.md content>

## SHORT-TERM RECALLS (pending promotion)

<output from openclaw memory promote>

## MEMORY INDEX

<output from openclaw memory status>

Notes

• MEMORY.md is injected at every agent bootstrap via the session-bootstrap hook
• Short-term recalls are stored in ~/.openclaw/memory/main.sqlite
• Run /skill cmd_promote to apply pending promotions to MEMORY.md
