SKILL.md

mem9

mem9 is the persistent cloud memory plugin for OpenClaw. It keeps durable memory across sessions and machines.

This top-level SKILL.md is a routing and safety document. It is the entry point for setup, troubleshooting, and uninstall flows. It is not the canonical reference for runtime request behavior.

What This Skill Does

  • Route first-time install, reconnect, config review, and mainland China / Alibaba Cloud npm install handling to SETUP.md.
  • Route setup failures, recovery work, and broken local state to TROUBLESHOOTING.md.
  • Route local mem9 removal on this machine to UNINSTALL.md.
  • Keep history import manual. Do not scan or upload local memory or session files from this skill.

Source / Runtime Authority

  • Official source: mem9-ai/mem9 and mem9.ai.
  • Default setup network target is https://api.mem9.ai unless the user explicitly chooses another apiUrl.
  • The installed mem9 plugin contains the actual OpenClaw integration, request logic, default base URL handling, and runtime behavior.
  • This SKILL.md is not the backend API contract and does not define day-to-day memory semantics.
  • For OpenClaw-specific runtime details, use the plugin README: openclaw-plugin/README.md.

Allowed Config Scope

Only these openclaw.json paths may be changed during setup:

  • plugins.slots.memory
  • plugins.entries.mem9.enabled
  • plugins.entries.mem9.config.apiUrl
  • plugins.entries.mem9.config.apiKey
  • plugins.entries.mem9.config.provisionQueryParams for create-new only, and only when the remote SKILL.md URL contains filtered utm_* parameters
  • plugins.allow

Do not change any other config keys unless the user explicitly asks.

Routing

  • Install, enable, reconnect, or review mem9 config changes: read SETUP.md.
  • Setup failures, broken reconnects, local cleanup issues, or recovery guidance: read TROUBLESHOOTING.md.
  • Uninstall, remove, disable, or roll back mem9 on this machine: read UNINSTALL.md.
  • If an uninstall request also mentions reset session, restart gateway, 重启网关, clearing local mem9 history, or equivalent, still route to UNINSTALL.md first and keep those actions as post-verification follow-up only.
  • If this skill is loaded remotely, resolve SETUP.md, TROUBLESHOOTING.md, and UNINSTALL.md relative to the directory containing the current SKILL.md.

Definition of Done

  • The correct supporting document was used for the user's intent: SETUP.md, TROUBLESHOOTING.md, or UNINSTALL.md.
  • No openclaw.json paths outside the allowed scope were changed.
  • Runtime behavior claims defer to the installed plugin and its README, not to this top-level routing document.
