# @openclaw/memory-wiki

Persistent wiki compiler and Obsidian-friendly knowledge vault for **OpenClaw**.

This plugin is separate from the active memory plugin. The active memory plugin still handles recall, promotion, and dreaming. `memory-wiki` compiles durable knowledge into a navigable markdown vault with deterministic indexes, provenance, structured claim/evidence metadata, and optional Obsidian CLI workflows.

When the active memory plugin exposes shared recall, agents can use `memory_search` with `corpus=all` to search durable memory and the compiled wiki in one pass, then fall back to `wiki_search` / `wiki_get` when wiki-specific ranking or provenance matters.

## Modes

- `isolated`: own vault, own sources, no dependency on `memory-core`
- `bridge`: reads public memory artifacts and memory events through public seams
- `unsafe-local`: explicit same-machine escape hatch for private local paths

Default mode is `isolated`.

## Config

Put config under `plugins.entries.memory-wiki.config`:

```json5
{
  vaultMode: "isolated",

  vault: {
    path: "~/.openclaw/wiki/main",
    renderMode: "obsidian", // or "native"
  },

  obsidian: {
    enabled: true,
    useOfficialCli: true,
    vaultName: "OpenClaw Wiki",
    openAfterWrites: false,
  },

  bridge: {
    enabled: false,
    readMemoryArtifacts: true,
    indexDreamReports: true,
    indexDailyNotes: true,
    indexMemoryRoot: true,
    followMemoryEvents: true,
  },

  unsafeLocal: {
    allowPrivateMemoryCoreAccess: false,
    paths: [],
  },

  ingest: {
    autoCompile: true,
    maxConcurrentJobs: 1,
    allowUrlIngest: true,
  },

  search: {
    backend: "shared", // or "local"
    corpus: "wiki", // or "memory" | "all"
  },

  context: {
    includeCompiledDigestPrompt: false, // opt in to append a compact compiled digest snapshot to memory prompt sections
  },

  render: {
    preserveHumanBlocks: true,
    createBacklinks: true, // writes managed ## Related blocks with sources, backlinks, and related pages
    createDashboards: true,
  },
}
```

## Vault shape

The plugin initializes a vault like this:

```text
<vault>/
  AGENTS.md
  WIKI.md
  index.md
  inbox.md
  entities/
  concepts/
  syntheses/
  sources/
  reports/
  _attachments/
  _views/
  .openclaw-wiki/
```

Generated content stays inside managed blocks. Human note blocks are preserved.

Key beliefs can live in structured `claims` frontmatter with per-claim evidence, confidence, and status. Compile also emits machine-readable digests under `.openclaw-wiki/cache/` so agent/runtime consumers do not have to scrape markdown pages.

When `render.createBacklinks` is enabled, compile adds deterministic `## Related` blocks to pages. Those blocks list source pages, pages that reference the current page, and nearby pages that share the same source ids.

When `render.createDashboards` is enabled, compile also maintains report dashboards under `reports/` for open questions, contradictions, low-confidence pages, and stale pages.

## CLI

```bash
openclaw wiki status
openclaw wiki doctor
openclaw wiki init
openclaw wiki ingest ./notes/alpha.md
openclaw wiki compile
openclaw wiki lint
openclaw wiki search "alpha"
openclaw wiki get entity.alpha --from 1 --lines 80

openclaw wiki apply synthesis "Alpha Summary" \
  --body "Short synthesis body" \
  --source-id source.alpha

openclaw wiki apply metadata entity.alpha \
  --source-id source.alpha \
  --status review \
  --question "Still active?"

openclaw wiki bridge import
openclaw wiki unsafe-local import

openclaw wiki obsidian status
openclaw wiki obsidian search "alpha"
openclaw wiki obsidian open syntheses/alpha-summary.md
openclaw wiki obsidian command workspace:quick-switcher
openclaw wiki obsidian daily
```

## Agent tools

- `wiki_status`
- `wiki_lint`
- `wiki_apply`
- `wiki_search`
- `wiki_get`

The plugin also registers a non-exclusive memory corpus supplement, so shared `memory_search` / `memory_get` flows can reach the wiki when the active memory plugin supports corpus selection.

`wiki_apply` accepts structured `claims` payloads for synthesis and metadata updates, so the wiki can store claim-level evidence instead of only page-level prose.

When `context.includeCompiledDigestPrompt` is enabled, the memory prompt supplement also appends a compact snapshot from `.openclaw-wiki/cache/agent-digest.json`. Legacy prompt assembly sees that automatically, and non-legacy context engines can pick it up when they explicitly consume memory prompt supplements via `buildActiveMemoryPromptSection(...)`.

## Notes

- `unsafe-local` is intentionally experimental and non-portable.
- Bridge mode reads the active memory plugin through public seams only.
- Wiki pages are compiled artifacts, not the ultimate source of truth. Keep provenance attached to raw sources, memory artifacts, and daily notes.
- The compiled agent digests in `.openclaw-wiki/cache/agent-digest.json` and `.openclaw-wiki/cache/claims.jsonl` are the stable machine-facing view of the wiki.
- Obsidian CLI support requires the official `obsidian` CLI to be installed and available on `PATH`.
