At a glance

Enable and configure Moltbot/Clawdbot memory search for persistent context.

  • Works in 3 steps: Enable Memory Search in Config → Create Memory Structure → Initialize MEMORY.md
  • Setting up memory
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Setup, Config Options Explained, Daily Log Format and Agent Instructions (AGENTS.md), plus 4 more sections
  • Needs VOYAGE_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY

What it does

Memory Setup is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Enable and configure Moltbot/Clawdbot memory search for persistent context. Use when setting up memory, fixing "goldfish brain," or helping users configure memorySearch in their config. Covers MEMORY.md, daily logs, and vector search setup.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Vector databases. It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up memory
  • Fixing goldfish brain
  • Helping users configure memorySearch in their config

Example prompts

  • “goldfish brain,”
  • “/memory-setup”

Requirements

  • A credential in VOYAGE_API_KEY
  • A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Enable Memory Search in Config
  2. Create Memory Structure
  3. Initialize MEMORY.md

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown and json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • VOYAGE_API_KEY
    • OPENAI_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Memory Setup loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 251 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 251 words (~1,002 tokens).

“Transform your agent from goldfish to elephant. This skill helps configure persistent memory for Moltbot/Clawdbot.”
