agentlife-knowledge

Project memory & knowledge management plugin for OpenClaw.

What it does

• Persistent projects — organize sessions into projects with instructions, files, and accumulated memory
• Infinite chats — messages survive session resets, archived in SQLite
• Auto-organization — auto-name chats, auto-route to projects based on content
• Context injection — project files and memories automatically injected into new sessions via bootstrap hooks
• Topic drift detection — agent instructions to split conversations when topics diverge

Install

npm install -g agentlife-knowledge

Then add to your OpenClaw config (~/.openclaw/config.yaml):

plugins:
  load:
    paths:
      - agentlife-knowledge

Restart your gateway:

openclaw gateway restart

How it works

The plugin creates a SQLite database at ~/.openclaw/agentlife/knowledge.db with:

• Projects — named containers with instructions and description
• Project files — knowledge documents (specs, plans, research) attached to projects
• Project memories — auto-saved summaries from session resets
• Chats — persistent chat entries linked to sessions and projects
• Chat messages — full message archive (role, content, model, timestamp)

Bootstrap hooks

On every new session, the plugin checks if it's linked to a project and injects:

• Project instructions and description
• All project files as context
• Recent project memories (last 10)
• System rules for proactive saving, topic drift detection, and context building

Agent tool

The project_manage tool gives the agent actions:

• list / get / create projects
• context — get full project context
• files / add_file / update_file / delete_file — manage knowledge files
• link_session — associate current session with a project
• save_memory / get_memories — project memory CRUD

Works great with

• AgentLife — native OpenClaw client with project-aware sidebar, auto-organization UI, and infinite chat history

Requirements

• Node.js 22+ (uses node:sqlite built-in)
• OpenClaw gateway
