OB1 Agent Memory for OpenClaw: Reference Links

This is a reference index for the OB1/OpenBrain Agent Memory release. It is not the full implementation guide. The full guide, contracts, examples, plugin package, skill, and supporting assets live in the OB1 repo and on ClawHub.

What This Release Includes

OB1 Agent Memory gives OpenClaw workflows a governed memory layer:

  • Recall relevant context before meaningful work starts.
  • Write back compact operational memory after work finishes.
  • Preserve source, model, runtime, task, confidence, scope, and confirmation metadata.
  • Keep inferred/generated memory as evidence until a human confirms it.
  • Give builders recipes for code review, TaskFlow handoffs, and provenance-aware memory.

Core Recipe

  • Recipe README
    The main implementation guide for using OpenBrain/OB1 as a durable memory layer for OpenClaw workflows.

  • Recipe metadata
    Machine-readable package metadata for the recipe.

Contracts

  • Recall request schema
    Defines what an OpenClaw workflow sends to OB1 before starting work.

  • Recall response schema
    Defines how OB1 returns scoped memories, provenance, freshness, and use policy.

  • Write-back schema
    Defines how OpenClaw writes back decisions, outputs, lessons, unresolved questions, artifacts, and metadata.

Example Payloads

Companion Recipes

Trust, Safety, And Provenance

Database Schema

  • Agent Memory schema README
    Overview of the database model for governed agent memory.

  • Agent Memory SQL schema
    Sidecar schema for memory records, provenance, use policy, review state, source references, recall traces, trace items, relations, and audit events.

Runtime-Neutral API

OpenClaw Plugin

OpenClaw Skill

The skill tells OpenClaw agents how to behave around memory: recall before meaningful work, write back compact operational memory, avoid raw transcript dumps, preserve provenance, and never treat inferred memory as confirmed instruction.

Dashboard Walkthrough Assets

This folder contains the screenshot capture scripts, demo seed data, guide generation scripts, and Remotion-based video walkthrough source for the OB1 Agent Dashboard.

Release Notes

Suggested Reader Path

  1. Start with Nate’s Substack article for the strategy and framing.
  2. Use the OpenClaw Agent Memory recipe for the implementation pattern.
  3. Review the recall and write-back contracts.
  4. Install or inspect the official ClawHub package.
  5. Use the companion recipes for concrete workflows:
  6. Read the Safe Agent Memory and Provenance guide before allowing agent-written memory to become instruction-grade.
