# `openclaw memory`
|
|
|
|
Manage semantic memory indexing, search, and promotion into `MEMORY.md`.
|
|
Provided by the bundled `memory-core` plugin, available when
|
|
`plugins.slots.memory` selects `memory-core` (the default). Other memory
|
|
plugins expose their own CLI namespaces.
|
|
|
|
Related: [Memory](/concepts/memory) concept, [Dreaming](/concepts/dreaming),
|
|
[Memory config reference](/reference/memory-config), [Memory Wiki](/plugins/memory-wiki),
|
|
[wiki](/cli/wiki), [Plugins](/tools/plugin).
|
|
|
|
## `memory status`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw memory status [--agent <id>] [--deep] [--index] [--fix] [--json] [--verbose]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Without `--agent`, runs for every agent in `agents.entries`; if no agent list is
|
|
configured, falls back to the default agent.
|
|
|
|
| Flag | Effect |
|
|
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `--deep` | Probe vector-store, embedding-provider, and semantic-search readiness (implies extra provider calls). Plain `memory status` stays fast and skips this; unknown vector/semantic state means it was not probed. QMD lexical `searchMode: "search"` always skips semantic vector probes, even with `--deep`. |
|
|
| `--index` | Reindex if the store is dirty. Implies `--deep`. |
|
|
| `--fix` | Repair stale recall locks and normalize promotion metadata. |
|
|
| `--json` | Print JSON. |
|
|
| `--verbose` | Emit detailed per-phase logs. |
|
|
|
|
If the `Dreaming` line stays `off` even with `dreaming.enabled: true`, or
|
|
scheduled sweeps never seem to run, the managed dreaming cron depends on the
|
|
default agent's heartbeat firing to trigger reconciliation. See
|
|
[Dreaming](/concepts/dreaming) for scheduling details.
|
|
|
|
Status also lists any extra search paths from `memory.search.extraPaths`.
|
|
|
|
## `memory index`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw memory index [--agent <id>] [--force] [--verbose]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Same per-agent scoping as `status`. `--force` runs a full reindex instead of
|
|
an incremental one. `--verbose` prints per-agent provider, model, sources, and
|
|
extra-path details before showing indexing progress.
|
|
|
|
## `memory search`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw memory search [query] [--query <text>] [--agent <id>] [--max-results <n>] [--min-score <n>] [--json]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Query: positional `[query]` or `--query <text>`. If both are set, `--query`
|
|
wins. If neither is set, the command errors.
|
|
- `--agent <id>`: defaults to the default agent (not the full agent list).
|
|
- `--max-results <n>`: cap result count (positive integer).
|
|
- `--min-score <n>`: filter out matches below this score.
|
|
|
|
## `memory promote`
|
|
|
|
Rank short-term candidates from `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` and optionally append
|
|
top entries to `MEMORY.md`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw memory promote [--agent <id>] [--limit <n>] [--min-score <n>] \
|
|
[--min-recall-count <n>] [--min-unique-queries <n>] [--apply] [--include-promoted] [--json]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Flag | Default | Effect |
|
|
| -------------------------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `--limit <n>` | | Max candidates to return/apply. |
|
|
| `--min-score <n>` | `0.75` | Minimum weighted promotion score. |
|
|
| `--min-recall-count <n>` | `3` | Minimum recall count required. |
|
|
| `--min-unique-queries <n>` | `2` | Minimum distinct query count required. |
|
|
| `--apply` | preview only | Append selected candidates to `MEMORY.md` and mark them promoted. |
|
|
| `--include-promoted` | | Include candidates already promoted in previous cycles. |
|
|
| `--json` | | Print JSON. |
|
|
|
|
These CLI defaults differ from the scheduled dreaming sweep's deep-phase
|
|
thresholds (see [Dreaming](#dreaming) below); pass explicit flags to match
|
|
sweep behavior for a one-off manual run.
|
|
|
|
Ranking signals: recall frequency, retrieval relevance, query diversity,
|
|
temporal recency, cross-day consolidation, and derived concept richness, drawn
|
|
from both memory recalls and daily-ingestion passes, plus a light/REM phase
|
|
reinforcement boost for repeated dreaming revisits. Before writing, promotion
|
|
re-reads the live daily note, so edits or deletions to short-term snippets
|
|
since ranking are respected instead of promoting from a stale snapshot.
|
|
|
|
## `memory promote-explain`
|
|
|
|
Explain one promotion candidate's score breakdown.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw memory promote-explain <selector> [--agent <id>] [--include-promoted] [--json]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`<selector>` matches a candidate's key (exact or substring), path, or snippet
|
|
text.
|
|
|
|
## `memory rem-harness`
|
|
|
|
Preview REM reflections, candidate truths, and deep-phase promotion output
|
|
without writing anything.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw memory rem-harness [--agent <id>] [--path <file-or-dir>] [--grounded] [--include-promoted] [--json]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `--path <file-or-dir>`: seed the harness from historical `YYYY-MM-DD.md`
|
|
daily files instead of the live workspace.
|
|
- `--grounded`: also render a grounded `What Happened` / `Reflections` /
|
|
`Possible Lasting Updates` preview from the historical notes.
|
|
|
|
## `memory rem-backfill`
|
|
|
|
Write grounded historical REM summaries into `DREAMS.md` for UI review.
|
|
Reversible.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw memory rem-backfill --path <file-or-dir> [--agent <id>] [--stage-short-term] [--json]
|
|
openclaw memory rem-backfill --rollback [--rollback-short-term] [--json]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `--path <file-or-dir>`: required unless `--rollback`/`--rollback-short-term`
|
|
is set. Historical daily memory file(s) or directory to backfill from.
|
|
- `--stage-short-term`: also seed grounded durable candidates into the live
|
|
short-term promotion store so the normal deep phase can rank them.
|
|
- `--rollback`: remove previously written grounded diary entries from
|
|
`DREAMS.md`.
|
|
- `--rollback-short-term`: remove previously staged grounded short-term
|
|
candidates.
|
|
|
|
## Dreaming
|
|
|
|
Dreaming is the background memory consolidation system with three cooperative
|
|
phases, run in order on one schedule: **light** (sort/stage short-term
|
|
material), **REM** (reflect and surface themes), **deep** (promote durable
|
|
facts into `MEMORY.md`). Only deep writes to `MEMORY.md`.
|
|
|
|
- Enable with `plugins.entries.memory-core.config.dreaming.enabled: true`
|
|
(default `false`); `memory-core` auto-manages the sweep cron job, no manual
|
|
`openclaw cron add` required.
|
|
- Toggle from chat with `/dreaming on|off`; inspect with `/dreaming status`
|
|
(or `/dreaming`/`/dreaming help`). `on`/`off` requires channel owner status
|
|
or gateway `operator.admin`; `status` and help stay available to anyone who
|
|
can invoke the command.
|
|
- Human-readable phase output goes to `DREAMS.md` (or an existing `dreams.md`).
|
|
By default (`dreaming.storage.mode: "separate"`) each phase also writes a
|
|
standalone report to `memory/dreaming/<phase>/YYYY-MM-DD.md`; set `mode:
|
|
"inline"` to fold reports into the daily memory file instead, or `"both"`
|
|
for both.
|
|
- Scheduled and manual `memory promote` runs share the same deep-phase
|
|
ranking signals; only the default thresholds differ (see table above vs.
|
|
scheduled defaults below).
|
|
- Scheduled runs fan out across every configured agent's memory workspace.
|
|
|
|
Scheduled defaults (`plugins.entries.memory-core.config.dreaming`):
|
|
|
|
| Key | Default |
|
|
| -------------------------------------- | ----------- |
|
|
| `frequency` | `0 3 * * *` |
|
|
| `phases.deep.minScore` | `0.8` |
|
|
| `phases.deep.minRecallCount` | `3` |
|
|
| `phases.deep.minUniqueQueries` | `3` |
|
|
| `phases.deep.recencyHalfLifeDays` | `14` |
|
|
| `phases.deep.maxAgeDays` | `30` |
|
|
| `phases.deep.maxPromotedSnippetTokens` | `160` |
|
|
|
|

|
## SecretRef gateway dependency
|
|
|
|
If active memory remote API key fields are configured as SecretRefs, `memory`
|
|
commands resolve them from the active gateway snapshot; if the gateway is
|
|
unavailable, the command fails fast. This requires a gateway supporting the
|
|
`secrets.resolve` method; older gateways return an unknown-method error.
