SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manual memory management becomes unmanageable as MEMORY.md grows, daily notes accumulate, and critical corrections need immediate promotion. This skill automates tiered organization, pruning, and archiving to keep the AI’s context concise and reliable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tiered Memory Structure: Handles HOT, WARM, and COLD memory files.
  • Automated Pruning: Removes stale entries when MEMORY.md exceeds 200 lines.
  • Archival Process: Moves daily notes older than 30 days to an archive and enforces retention policies.
  • Critical Corrections: Forces immediate inclusion of owner fixes into MEMORY.md.
  • Integration with Dreaming: Complements native OpenClaw memory promotion while providing manual safeguards.

Quick Start

Run the memory tiering skill to clean up and reorganize your AI's memory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prune AI memory when context files grow too large?

To prune AI memory, this skill removes stale entries automatically when MEMORY.md exceeds 200 lines. It organizes context into HOT, WARM, and COLD tiers to keep the AI's active memory concise and relevant.

What is the best way to archive old daily notes in AI memory management?

The best way to archive old daily notes is through a tiered memory structure that moves logs older than 30 days into an archive. This enforces retention policies to maintain a clean and reliable AI context.

How do I promote critical corrections to AI memory immediately?

To promote critical corrections immediately, the skill forces manual inclusion of owner fixes directly into MEMORY.md. This ensures important updates bypass standard retention delays without automated deletions.

When should I reorganize AI memory tiers and run a compaction operation?

You should reorganize AI memory tiers when MEMORY.md exceeds 200 lines, daily notes age beyond 30 days, or after a compaction operation. This prevents manual memory management from becoming unmanageable.

Does memory archiving automatically delete old entries and logs?

Memory archiving does not automatically delete old entries. The skill enforces retention policies by moving aged daily logs to an archive and relies on safe manual promotion for critical corrections, ensuring no automated deletions occur.
