- bounded-memory
- description
- Gives your OpenClaw AI a perfect memory. Ask things like "did we discuss this before?", "what did we decide about X?", and "find that conversation about Y" — it searches through all your past conversations instantly. Great for recalling decisions, preferences, and context from months ago. Use when: (1) user asks "did we talk about X before?", (2) "search my old conversations", (3) "find what we decided about project Y", (4) "remember what I asked last week". Triggers: "search sessions", "find earlier conversation", "recall past discussion", "what did I say about".
- Privacy
- search indexing and execution are 100% offline. LLM summarization is opt-in (use --llm flag) and disabled by default. No external API calls without your explicit consent.
Bounded Memory
Gives your OpenClaw AI agent a perfect memory — it can recall anything you've ever discussed, even from months ago.
What It Does
Without this skill: each OpenClaw session starts fresh. The AI forgets everything.
With this skill: ask things like:
- "Did we discuss X before?"
- "What did we decide about Y?"
- "Find that conversation from last month"
Privacy Design
| What runs | How |
|---|---|
| Search indexing | ✅ 100% offline — SQLite only |
| Search execution | ✅ 100% offline — no network calls |
| LLM summarization | ⚠️ Opt-in only — use --llm flag to enable |
No external API calls by default. The --llm flag (disabled by default) sends snippets to your configured LLM for summarization — only when you explicitly ask for it.
Quick Start
# Index your conversations (first time)
python3 skills/session-search/scripts/index-sessions.py --agent main
# Search (fully offline)
python3 skills/session-search/scripts/search-sessions.py "what did we decide about the logo design"
# Search with AI summary (opt-in)
python3 skills/session-search/scripts/search-sessions.py "question" --llmWhat It Solves
| Problem | Without | With Bounded Memory |
|---|---|---|
| "I asked this before but can't remember" | AI has no idea | Instant recall |
| "What did we decide in that meeting?" | Forgot | Searches all sessions |
| "Did I mention this before?" | No way to know | Searches everything |
Example
You: "Search our conversations about the robot project"
→ Found 3 discussions:
1. [Last week] We discussed the design direction...
2. [2 weeks ago] You asked about pricing...
3. [Last month] The AI suggested adding...
