Time Machine for Your AI's Brain — version control for agent context files.

  • Works in 3 steps: Ask for confirmation — Tell the user:… → After user confirms — Run this flow → Alternative — If the user prefers to…
  • The user asks about changes in SOUL.md
  • SKILL.md covers Bootstrap (One-time setup), Available Tools, When to Use and Tool Usage Guide, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Mindkeeper is an agent skill from LeoYeAI/openclaw-master-skills. Time Machine for Your AI's Brain — version control for agent context files. Use when the user asks about changes in SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, or other agent context files; when they want to undo, rollback, or compare versions; or when they need a checkpoint before risky edits.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `README.md`, `SCREENSHOT_GUIDELINE.md` and `clawhub.json`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Codebase knowledge for agents, Git workflow and Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: 🧠 Curated collection of 1209+ best OpenClaw skills — weekly updated by MyClaw.ai. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about changes in SOUL.md
  • Other agent context files
  • They want to undo
  • Compare versions

Example prompts

  • “/mindkeeper”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Ask for confirmation — Tell the user: "Mindkeeper needs the mindkeeper-openclaw plugin to work. I'll need to run openclaw plugins install…
  2. After user confirms — Run this flow
  3. Alternative — If the user prefers to install manually, tell them: "Run openclaw plugins install mindkeeper-openclaw in your terminal, then…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e5199b5. 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.

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Mindkeeper loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 593 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

Mindkeeper — Time Machine for Your AI's Brain

Use mindkeeper tools when the user asks about changes, history, or versions of their agent context files (AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, IDENTITY.md, TOOLS.md, MEMORY.md, memory/, skills/).

Bootstrap (One-time setup)

When the user enables mindkeeper or asks for mindkeeper capability, first try mind_status. If it fails (tool not found or similar):

  1. Ask for confirmation — Tell the user: "Mindkeeper needs the mindkeeper-openclaw plugin to work. I'll need to run openclaw plugins install mindkeeper-openclaw and restart the Gateway. May I proceed?" Do not install or restart until the user explicitly confirms.

  2. After user confirms — Run this flow:

    • Install the plugin — Run via bash:
      bash
      openclaw plugins install mindkeeper-openclaw
    • Restart the gateway — Use the gateway tool with action: "restart" and note: "Restarting to load mindkeeper plugin". If gateway restart is disabled or fails, tell the user: "Plugin installed. Restart your Gateway manually to apply."
    • Confirm — Tell the user: "Mindkeeper is ready. Restart complete — you can now ask about history, diffs, rollbacks, or snapshots."

  3. Alternative — If the user prefers to install manually, tell them: "Run openclaw plugins install mindkeeper-openclaw in your terminal, then restart your Gateway. After that, mindkeeper will be ready."

If mind_status succeeds, the plugin is already installed; skip the bootstrap and proceed with the user's request.

Available Tools

ToolPurpose
mind_statusShow what files are tracked and whether there are unsaved changes
mind_historyBrowse the change log for one file or all files
mind_diffCompare any two versions of a file side-by-side
mind_rollbackRestore a file to a previous version (always preview first)
mind_snapshotSave a named checkpoint before making significant changes

When to Use

User says…Action
"What changed in SOUL.md?"mind_history with file: "SOUL.md"
"Show me the diff from last week"mind_history to find the commit, then mind_diff
"Undo that change" / "Roll back AGENTS.md"Full rollback procedure (see below)
"Save a checkpoint before I experiment"mind_snapshot with a descriptive name
"Is mindkeeper tracking my files?"mind_status
"What does my history look like?"mind_history without a file filter

Tool Usage Guide

mind_status

Call this first if you're unsure whether mindkeeper is initialized or what files are being tracked.

mind_status → { initialized, workDir, pendingChanges, snapshots }
Show full SKILL.md (237 more words)Show less
mind_history

Returns a list of commits with short hash, date, and message.

  • file (optional): filter to a specific file path, e.g. "SOUL.md"
  • limit (optional): number of entries to return (default 10, increase for longer searches)
mind_history({ file: "SOUL.md", limit: 20 })
→ { count, entries: [{ oid, date, message }] }
mind_diff

Compares two versions of a file. from and to are short or full commit hashes from mind_history.

  • Omit to to compare from against the current version (HEAD).
mind_diff({ file: "SOUL.md", from: "a1b2c3d4" })
→ { file, from, to, additions, deletions, unified }
mind_snapshot

Creates a named checkpoint of the current state of all tracked files. Use before risky changes.

  • name: short identifier, e.g. "stable-v2" or "before-experiment"
  • message (optional): longer description
mind_snapshot({ name: "stable-v2", message: "Personality tuned, rules finalized" })
→ { success, snapshot, commit: { oid, message } }
mind_rollback

Always use the two-step procedure. Never skip the preview.

Step 1 — Preview:

mind_rollback({ file: "SOUL.md", to: "a1b2c3d4", preview: true })
→ { preview: true, diff: { unified, additions, deletions }, instruction }

Show the diff to the user and ask for confirmation.

Step 2 — Execute (only after user confirms):

mind_rollback({ file: "SOUL.md", to: "a1b2c3d4", preview: false })
→ { preview: false, success: true, commit: { oid, message } }

After success, tell the user: "Run /new to apply the changes to your current session."

Important Notes

  • Rollback is per-file — it only restores the specified file, not all files at once
  • Rollbacks are non-destructive — every rollback creates a new commit, so it can itself be undone
  • Auto-snapshots run in the background — the user doesn't need to manually save; mindkeeper captures every change automatically
  • Named snapshots are the safety net — encourage users to snapshot before major personality or rule changes
  • If history is empty — mindkeeper may not have initialized yet, or no changes have been made since install. Call mind_status to check.
  • Commit hashes — always use the oid field from mind_history results. Short 8-character hashes are fine.
