What is Memory Assistant?
Memory Assistant is a markdown-first knowledge workflow for Openclaw Skills that helps an AI coding agent record short-term observations in date-based daily notes, search past entries by keyword or date, and distill durable information into a central MEMORY.md file.
It is built for high-signal personal knowledge management: keep daily notes concise, use consistent filenames and tags, and periodically promote important decisions, project context, and recurring facts into long-term memory so they are easy to retrieve later.
Memory Assistant Use Cases
- Logging daily progress, quick thoughts, and implementation notes
- Searching historical conversations, decisions, or forgotten context by keyword
- Summarizing repeated insights from daily notes into durable memory
- Tracking project progress across multiple sessions
- Maintaining a lightweight markdown knowledge base for Openclaw Skills workflows
How Memory Assistant Works
- Create a daily note named
memory/YYYY-MM-DD.mdfor the current day. - Append concise Markdown entries for tasks completed, ideas, decisions, and context.
- Search the
memory/folder withrgwhen you need to find a keyword or topic. - Open a date-specific file with tools like
headto inspect a particular day quickly. - Review recent daily notes and promote important information into
MEMORY.md. - Keep filenames, tags, and phrasing consistent so Openclaw Skills can retrieve information reliably.
Memory Assistant Setup
Memory Assistant is file-based and requires no package install. Create a markdown workspace, make sure rg is available for search, and establish the daily-note convention used by Openclaw Skills.
mkdir -p memory
touch MEMORY.md
# Add a new daily note
echo 'Today completed a memory workflow setup.' >> memory/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).md
# Search all memory files
rg 'keyword' memory/*.md
# Inspect a specific day
head -50 memory/2026-07-15.md
# Manually consolidate long-term memory
nano MEMORY.md
Best practice: keep memory/ for short-term daily notes and MEMORY.md for distilled long-term knowledge.
Memory Assistant Data Schema & Taxonomy
| Artifact | Path / Pattern | Purpose | Conventions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily note | memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md |
Capture short-term daily activity, ideas, and context | One file per day; plain Markdown; searchable by date or keyword |
| Long-term memory | MEMORY.md |
Store consolidated durable knowledge, decisions, and recurring facts | Keep concise; update manually from daily notes |
| Search space | memory/*.md |
Full-text retrieval across the archive | Query with rg and date-based filenames |
| Metadata taxonomy | filename date, keywords, tags, importance | Organize and prioritize content | No required YAML/frontmatter; uses consistent naming and in-text labels |
Guidelines:
- Prefer short, high-signal entries.
- Use consistent terminology and tags so Openclaw Skills can search reliably.
- Promote only durable information into
MEMORY.md.
Memory Assistant Advanced Features
- Date-addressable recall with
YYYY-MM-DDfilenames - Full-text search using
rgacross all daily notes - Long-term memory distillation from daily notes into
MEMORY.md - Lightweight, editor-agnostic workflow for any Markdown editor or terminal
- Project progress tracking without a database or external service
- Consistency-first naming and tagging to improve retrieval quality in Openclaw Skills
