Memory Compression System v3.0
Integrated memory management and extreme context compression for OpenClaw. Combines the best features of memory management and extreme compression into a single, streamlined skill with automatic scheduling.
Quick Start
# Install skill
openclaw skill install memory-compression-system
# Enable automatic compression (runs every 6 hours)
scripts/enable.sh
# Check status
scripts/status.sh
# Manual compression
scripts/compress.sh --format ultra
# Search memory
scripts/search.sh "keyword"Features
1. Integrated Memory Management

2. Three Compression Formats
- Base64 Compact (B64C): Universal compatibility, ~40% reduction
- Custom Binary (CBIN): Optimized binary, ~70% reduction
- Ultra Compact (UCMP): Extreme compression, ~85% reduction, target ~150 tokens
3. Automated Scheduling
- Single cron job: No overlapping schedules
- Configurable: Adjust frequency and timing
- Reliable: Built-in error recovery and logging
- Efficient: Minimal resource usage
4. Search & Retrieval
- Unified search: Across all memory formats
- Fast indexing: Real-time search updates
- Context aware: Understands compressed formats
- Export options: Search results in multiple formats
5. ClawHub Ready
- Standard structure: Compatible with ClawHub
- Easy installation: One-command setup

Automatic Scheduling
Compression Schedule
- Every 6 hours: 00:00, 06:00, 12:00, 18:00 UTC
- Operations:
1. Backup current memory 2. Compress with optimal format 3. Update search index 4. Cleanup old files 5. Log results
Cleanup Schedule
- Daily at 04:00 UTC
- Operations:
1. Remove files older than RETENTION_DAYS 2. Archive logs 3. Optimize search index 4. Update statistics
Health Check Schedule
- Integrated with OpenClaw health checks
- Operations:
1. Check compression status 2. Verify file integrity 3. Monitor resource usage 4. Report issues
Search System
Search Index
- Real-time updates: Index updates after each compression
- Multiple formats: Searches across all compression formats
- Fast retrieval: Optimized for speed

}Error Handling & Recovery
Automatic Recovery
- Backup system: Automatic backups before operations
- Transaction logs: All operations logged
- Rollback capability: Automatic rollback on failure
- Error notifications: Alerts for critical issues
Manual Recovery
# Check error logs
scripts/logs.sh --error
# Restore from backup
scripts/restore.sh latest
# Repair search index
scripts/repair-index.sh
# Reset system
scripts/reset.sh --safeCommon Issues & Solutions
Issue: Compression fails Solution: Check disk space and run scripts/repair.sh
Issue: Search not working Solution: Rebuild index with scripts/rebuild-index.sh
Issue: Cron job not running Solution: Check with scripts/status.sh --cron
Issue: Performance degradation Solution: Run scripts/cleanup.sh --aggressive
