SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenClaw users often need a quick path to add long-term memory to their deployment. This skill provides a minimal-install approach for the memory-powermem plugin, avoiding the need to configure powermem.env and leveraging the bundled powermem-ts CLI for personal users.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Minimal install: Installs memory-powermem with the default bundled powermem-ts CLI, with no Python setup required, reusing the OpenClaw models.
  • Flexible deployment: Supports CLI-based usage or plugin-based installation for a lightweight, single-user setup.
  • Verification workflow: Guides restart of the gateway and validation of memory health via OpenClaw's ltm health, followed by a simple read/write test.

Quick Start

Install the memory-powermem plugin, then restart the gateway and verify health with ltm health.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add long-term memory to OpenClaw?▼

To add long-term memory to OpenClaw, install the memory-powermem plugin using the bundled powermem-ts CLI. This provides a minimal configuration path that reuses your existing OpenClaw models without requiring a separate Python environment setup.

Do I need to configure a Python environment for OpenClaw memory installation?▼

No, you do not need to configure a Python environment for OpenClaw memory installation. The memory-powermem plugin leverages the bundled powermem-ts CLI, allowing personal users to bypass Python setup and avoid configuring powermem.env entirely.

What is the best way to verify an OpenClaw memory plugin installation?▼

The best way to verify an OpenClaw memory plugin installation is to restart the gateway and check memory health using OpenClaw's ltm health command. You should follow this with a simple read and write test to confirm the memory is functioning.

Can I use the memory-powermem plugin for a multi-user OpenClaw deployment?▼

The memory-powermem plugin targets a lightweight, single-user setup for individual OpenClaw deployments. It is designed for personal users seeking a minimal install, rather than multi-user or large-scale distributed memory configurations.

Does the OpenClaw memory-powermem plugin require separate model configuration?▼

No, the OpenClaw memory-powermem plugin does not require separate model configuration. It performs a minimal install that directly reuses the existing OpenClaw models already configured in your deployment.

Why is my OpenClaw ltm health check failing after a memory plugin install?▼

If your OpenClaw ltm health check fails after a memory plugin install, you likely need to restart the gateway. The installation workflow requires a gateway restart to properly initialize memory health before running validation tests.
