Give Your Clawdbot Permanent Memory (February 13, 2026)

The memory-hybrid plugin builds on this article’s architecture: SQLite with full-text search for structured facts, LanceDB for semantic vectors, decay with TTL-style expiry, checkpoints, and a dual-backend approach.

OpenClaw-Hierarchical-Memory-System

The hierarchical file memory layout — a short MEMORY.md index plus detail files under memory/ — comes from this system: index-plus-detail pattern, token-budget discipline, and directory layout.

What this repository adds

This project combines those ideas into a unified system and extends them with:

Auto-capture and auto-recall lifecycle hooks
Memory tiering (hot / warm / cold) and multi-agent scoping
Retrieval directives and query expansion (#160)
LLM re-ranking (#161)
Contextual variants at index time (#159)
Multi-model embedding registry with RRF merge (#158)
Local embedding providers (Ollama / ONNX, #153)
Local LLM session pre-filtering (#290)
Future-date decay protection (#144)
Episodic event log (layer 1, #150)
Verification store (#162)
Provenance tracing (#163)
Document ingestion (PDF / DOCX / HTML / images, #206)
Workflow crystallization (skill proposals) and self-extension (tool proposals)
Graph-based spreading activation, reflection layer, session distillation pipeline
WAL crash resilience, auto-classification with category discovery, consolidation, deduplication
Credential vault, persona proposals, scope promote, bundled maintenance cron jobs
Full CLI, verify / fix diagnostics, one-command install, clean uninstall, and upgrade helpers
