hybrid-memory
Hybrid memory strategy combining OpenClaw's built-in vector memory with Graphiti temporal knowledge graph. Use when you need to recall past context, answer temporal questions ("when did X happen?"), or search memory files. Provides decision framework for when to use memory_search vs Graphiti.
Why this skill is useful
Adds specific commands and a decision framework for using two distinct memory systems that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires docker installed locally. About 1k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-03-07. 639 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
Hybrid Memory System Two memory systems, each with different strengths. Use both. When to Use Which Question Type Tool Example -------------- ------ --------- Document content memorysearch "What's in GOALS.md?" Curated notes memorysearch "What are our project guidelines?" Temporal facts Graphiti "When did we set up Slack?" Conversations Graphiti "What did the user say last Tuesday?" Entity tracking Graphiti "What projects involve Alice?" Quick Reference memorysearch (Built-in) Semantic search over markdown files (MEMORY.md, memory//.md). Then use memoryget to read specific lines if needed. Graphiti (Temporal) Search for facts with time awareness: Log important facts: Common group IDs: main-agent — Primary agent user-personal — User's personal context Recall Pattern When answering questions about past context: 1. Temporal questions → Check Graphiti first 2. Document questions → Use memorysearch 3. Uncertain → Try both, combine results 4. Low confidence → Say you checked but aren't sure AGENTS.md Template Add to your AGENTS.md: bash graphiti-search.sh "query" main-agent 10 memorysearch query="your query" Setup Full setup guide: https://github.com/clawdbrunner/openclaw-graphiti-memory Part 1: OpenClaw Memory — Configure embedding provider (Gemini recommended) Part 2: Graphiti — Deploy Docker stack, install sync daemons
How to use it
Reference it in AdaL, Claude Code, Cursor or any coding agent — nothing to install:
