Memory Maintenance

Use this skill for diagnosis and maintenance of ClawXMemory storage/indexes.

Mixed Mode Policy

• Prefer tool calls for normal user-facing retrieval flows.
• Use scripts only for diagnostics, data checks, and troubleshooting.

Recommended Workflow

1. Read current memory behavior with tools:
   • memory_overview
   • memory_list
   • memory_search
   • memory_get
2. If the user wants an immediate refresh or you see pending memory, run memory_flush.
3. If behavior is still suspicious, run scripts:
   • node {baseDir}/scripts/inspect-indexes.mjs --db <path>
   • node {baseDir}/scripts/recent-sessions.mjs --db <path> --limit 5
4. Compare script output with tool output.
5. Report concrete findings:
   • missing data
   • stale indexing
   • low extraction quality
   • query mismatch

Script Defaults

• Default DB path: ~/.openclaw/clawxmemory/memory.sqlite
• You can override with --db /absolute/path/to/memory.sqlite

Common Debug Cases

• Install succeeds but recall empty: start with memory_overview, then check table counts and lastIndexedAt.
• Project answers weak: start with memory_search, then inspect l2_project and recent l1 ids using memory_get.
• Timeline mismatch: inspect l2_time ids from memory_search, then compare against the latest l0 sessions.
• Recent turn not visible yet: inspect pendingL0 in memory_overview, then run memory_flush.

Guardrails

• Scripts are read-only diagnostics in this skill.
• Do not modify DB directly from this skill unless user explicitly asks for data repair.
