Hybrid memory strategy combining OpenClaw's built-in vector memory with Graphiti temporal knowledge graph.

What it does

Hybrid Memory is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Hybrid memory strategy combining OpenClaw's built-in vector memory with Graphiti temporal knowledge graph. Use when you need to recall past context, answer temporal questions ("when did X happen?"), or search memory files. Provides decision framework for when to use memorysearch vs Graphiti.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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 Knowledge Management, covering Knowledge graphs. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to recall past context
  • Answer temporal questions (when did X happen?)
  • Search memory files

Example prompts

  • “when did X happen?”
  • “/hybrid-memory”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Temporal questions → Check Graphiti first
  2. Document questions → Use memory_search
  3. Uncertain → Try both, combine results
  4. Low confidence → Say you checked but aren't sure

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 bash and markdown).

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Hybrid Memory loads about 568 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 160 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~568

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 160 words (~568 tokens).

“Two memory systems, each with different strengths. Use both.”
