OpenClaw

OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant. Its current onboarding flow imports AGENTS.md and skill files into ~/.openclaw/workspace, so the clean memories.sh integration path is to generate those artifacts from your memory store.

Why memories.sh + OpenClaw

Adding memories.sh gives you:

Cross-tool portability — Rules and decisions you keep for OpenClaw also power Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other integrations
Structured memory store — Keep rules, decisions, and facts in one searchable local database
Reusable skills — Generate .agents/skills/**/SKILL.md once and reuse across agent ecosystems

Recommended Setup (Workspace-First)

1) Run OpenClaw onboarding once

openclaw onboard

This creates and configures your OpenClaw workspace (default: ~/.openclaw/workspace).

2) Generate memories.sh output for OpenClaw

From your project (where your memories are scoped):

cd your-project
memories init
memories generate claude -o ~/.openclaw/workspace/AGENTS.md --force
memories generate agents
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills
if [ -d .agents/skills ]; then
  cp -R .agents/skills/. ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/
fi

This writes:

AGENTS.md into OpenClaw's workspace for session instructions
SKILL.md files into OpenClaw's workspace skills/ directory

3) Keep it in sync

Whenever memories change:

cd your-project
memories generate claude -o ~/.openclaw/workspace/AGENTS.md --force
memories generate agents
if [ -d .agents/skills ]; then
  cp -R .agents/skills/. ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/
fi

Important Notes

OpenClaw docs currently define context discovery around AGENTS.md and SKILL.md artifacts.
OpenClaw docs currently do not document a project-level MCP config path like .openclaw/mcp.json for this integration flow.
openclaw onboard seeds a default ~/.openclaw/workspace/AGENTS.md; use --force so memories.sh can replace it.
memories generate agents only creates .agents/skills when skills exist in your memory store, so copying skills should be conditional.
If you changed your workspace path in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (for example agent.workspace or agents.defaults.workspace), replace ~/.openclaw/workspace with your configured path.
