What this skill does
memory-lancedb-pro OpenClaw Plugin Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection. memory-lancedb-pro is a production-grade long-term memory plugin for OpenClaw agents. It stores preferences, decisions, and project context in a local LanceDB vector database and automatically recalls relevant memories before each agent reply. Key features: hybrid retrieval (vector + BM25 full-text), cross-encoder reranking, LLM-powered smart extraction (6 categories), Weibull decay-based forgetting, multi-scope isolation (agent/user/project), and a full management CLI. --- Installation Option A: One-Click Setup Script (Recommended) Flags: The script handles fresh installs, upgrades from git-cloned versions, invalid config fields, broken CLI fallback, and provider presets (Jina, DashScope, SiliconFlow, OpenAI, Ollama). Option B: OpenClaw CLI Option C: npm Critical: When installing via npm, you must add the plugin's absolute install path to plugins.load.paths in openclaw.json. This is the most common setup issue. --- Minimal Configuration (openclaw.json) Why these defaults: autoCapture + smartExtraction → agent learns from conversations automatically, no manual calls needed autoRecall → memories injected before each reply extractMinMessages: 2 → triggers in normal two-turn chats sessionMemory.enabled: false → avoids polluting retrieval with session summaries early on --- Full Production Configuration Provider Options for Embedding Provider provider value Notes --- --- --- OpenAI / compatible "openai-compatible" Requires apiKey, optional baseURL Jina "jina" Requires apiKey Gemini "gemini" Requires apiKey Ollama "ollama" Local, zero API cost, set baseURL DashScope "dashscope" Requires apiKey SiliconFlow "siliconflow" Requires apiKey, free reranker tier Deployment Plans Full Power (Jina + OpenAI): Budget (SiliconFlow free reranker): Fully Local (Ollama, zero API cost): --- CLI Reference Validate config and restart after any changes: Expected startup log output: Memory Management CLI --- M …
