A battle-tested 3-layer memory system that gives your agent real continuity across sessions. Built by KaiShips (kaiships.com).
OpenClaw agents wake up fresh every session. Without a memory system, they forget everything — decisions, preferences, project context, lessons learned. This skill fixes that.
life/ — PARA structure)Durable, structured knowledge organized by purpose:
life/projects/ — Active projects with clear goals (one folder per project, each with status.md)life/areas/ — Ongoing responsibilities (business ops, infrastructure, marketing)life/resources/ — Reference material, research, templateslife/archives/ — Completed/abandoned projects (moved here, never deleted)memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md)Raw session logs. Written during conversations:
life/tacit.md)The "personality" layer — what makes the agent actually useful:
{baseDir}/assets/AGENTS-template.md — copy its contents to your workspace AGENTS.mdmkdir -p life/projects life/areas life/resources life/archives memory
{baseDir}/assets/tacit-template.md — copy to life/tacit.md and fill in what you knowmemory/YYYY-MM-DD.md using the template in {baseDir}/assets/daily-template.mdEvery session, before doing anything else:
life/tacit.md (Layer 3 — who you're helping)memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md for today and yesterday (Layer 2 — recent context)MEMORY.md if it existsWhen you learn something new, write it down immediately:
life/tacit.mdlife/projects/<name>/status.mdmemory/YYYY-MM-DD.mdCritical rule: never make "mental notes." If it's worth remembering, write it to a file.
Run during heartbeats or end-of-session:
memory/YYYY-MM-DD.mdlife/ files (Layer 1)life/tacit.md (Layer 3)life/archives/. Don't delete.For automatic nightly consolidation, add a cron job:
Schedule: 0 3 * * * (3 AM daily)
Task: Review today's daily notes, consolidate durable knowledge into life/ files, update tacit.md with new lessons.
