Session Memory & Summarization Skill

Provides automatic conversation continuity across sessions by loading recent memory at session start and generating AI summaries during compaction.

What It Does

• Memory Loading: Injects the latest AI summary AND the last 10 raw message turns verbatim so you resume exactly where you left off
• AI Summarization: Generates concise summaries when approaching token limits, written to daily memory files
• Raw Continuity: Stores the last N exact interactions alongside the summary so nothing is lost in translation
• Seamless Experience: No manual intervention required — just natural conversation flow

Hooks

session:start

Runs when a new session begins. Loads the most recent daily memory file and injects two context blocks:

1. AI summary block — distilled summaries from today + yesterday (up to 6000 chars)
2. Recent messages block — last 10 raw user/assistant turns, verbatim, so the AI can resume mid-conversation with exact phrasing and decisions intact

session:compact:before

Runs before automatic compaction (20+ messages OR 60% of token limit). Does two things:

1. Generates an AI summary via agent.generateSummary() and prepends it to today's memory file
2. Captures the last 10 user/assistant turns as a JSON block at the end of the file (under <!-- recent_messages_block -->) — this is what session:start reads back next session

Installation

clawhub install session-context

Or manually:

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills
git clone https://github.com/thomasmarcel/openclaw-skill-session-context.git session-context
openclaw skills enable session-context

Requirements

• OpenClaw ≥ 0.29.0
• Workspace with memory/ directory (created automatically)
• Access to agent's LLM for summarization

Configuration

Customize thresholds in hooks/session/compact:before/handler.js:

return (
  msgCount >= 20 ||           
  tokenCount > maxTokens *  
);
