@vshulcz/openclaw-deja

OpenClaw remembers its own sessions. This plugin answers the other question: what was done in the thirty-two other coding agents on this machine — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini and Zed among them — including the months before OpenClaw was installed.

It runs deja, a local Go binary that indexes the transcripts those agents already wrote to disk. No LLM, no embeddings, nothing leaves the machine.

Install

openclaw plugins install clawhub:@vshulcz/openclaw-deja

The deja binary comes with the package; a deja you installed yourself (brew install deja-vu) always wins — see Which binary.

deja install openclaw-auto wires OpenClaw too, and is the shorter path if you have the CLI: it adds deja's MCP server and writes a plugin of its own. Having both is fine: this package reads what the installer wrote and contributes only what is missing.

What it does

• Before each turn (before_prompt_build): the prompt is matched against the index and, when a past session answers it, that session goes in front of the model. Silence is the common case.
• Tools: deja_recall (search the history), deja_fix (what was run after this error before), deja_blame (which sessions touched a file and what they concluded).

Config

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "deja-vu": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": { "autoRecall": true, "tools": true, "bin": "/opt/homebrew/bin/deja" }
      }
    }
  }
}

All three are optional. autoRecall: false keeps the tools and drops the per-turn recall; tools: false the reverse.

Which binary

In order: bin from the config, DEJA_BIN, deja on PATH, the usual install locations, and last the copy bundled through @vshulcz/deja-vu.

Privacy

deja reads session files where the agents wrote them and builds a local index under ~/.cache/deja (or DEJA_INDEX_DIR). Keys and tokens are stripped as the index is built. Nothing is uploaded.

Part of deja-vu. MIT.
