Frequently Asked Questions about crab-mem

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add persistent memory to OpenClaw agents so they remember context across sessions?▼

Persistent agent memory works by running a local worker service on port 37777 that captures observations on every tool call, stores them, and automatically injects that context into subsequent agent sessions.

What do I need to install persistent memory for an OpenClaw agent?▼

You need Node.js 18+, bun, git, curl, internet access to fetch claude-mem and plugin code, a working OpenClaw installation, and local port 37777 available for the worker service.

How do I quickly set up context injection for OpenClaw agents?▼

Run the quick install script via curl or execute ./scripts/install.sh to bootstrap the claude-mem worker, configure the OpenClaw memory plugin, and enable automatic observation capture across sessions.

Does automatic observation capture work without keeping a background service running?▼

No, automatic observation capture requires the claude-mem worker service to run continuously on local port 37777 to intercept tool calls and persist context for injection into new sessions.

What are the limitations of using a worker service for agent memory persistence?▼

Limitations include requiring local port 37777 availability, continuous execution of the claude-mem worker, and internet access during installation to fetch the necessary plugin code and dependencies.
