What this skill does
Memory Setup Skill Transform your agent from goldfish to elephant. This skill helps configure persistent memory for Moltbot/Clawdbot. Quick Setup 1. Enable Memory Search in Config Add to ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json (or moltbot.json): 2. Create Memory Structure In your workspace, create: 3. Initialize MEMORY.md Create MEMORY.md in workspace root: Config Options Explained Setting Purpose Recommended --------- --------- ------------- enabled Turn on memory search true provider Embedding provider "voyage" sources What to index ["memory", "sessions"] indexMode When to index "hot" (real-time) minScore Relevance threshold 0.3 (lower = more results) maxResults Max snippets returned 20 Provider Options voyage — Voyage AI embeddings (recommended) openai — OpenAI embeddings local — Local embeddings (no API needed) Source Options memory — MEMORY.md + memory/.md files sessions — Past conversation transcripts both — Full context (recommended) Daily Log Format Create memory/logs/YYYY-MM-DD.md daily: Agent Instructions (AGENTS.md) Add to your AGENTS.md for agent behavior: Troubleshooting Memory search not working? 1. Check memorySearch.enabled: true in config 2. Verify MEMORY.md exists in workspace root 3. Restart gateway: clawdbot gateway restart Results not relevant? Lower minScore to 0.2 for more results Increase maxResults to 30 Check that memory files have meaningful content Provider errors? Voyage: Set VOYAGEAPIKEY in environment OpenAI: Set OPENAIAPIKEY in environment Use local provider if no API keys available Verification Test memory is working: If agent has no memory, config isn't applied. Restart gateway. Full Config Example Why This Matters Without memory: Agent forgets everything between sessions Repeats questions, loses context No continuity on projects With memory: Recalls past conversations Knows your preferences Tracks project history Builds relationship over time Goldfish → Elephant. 🐘
