Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s176ftypthn6982avp5jt950an83p0yt:palaia

Setup complexity is classified as HIGH. You must provision dedicated cloud infrastructure or an isolated VM. Do not run this directly on your local workstation.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Contract: missing

      palaia v2.8.0 is now compatible with OpenClaw 2026.5.7. The OpenClaw plugin
      uses the new ContextEngineFactoryContext for reliable workspace resolution
      and registerMemoryCapability for memory prompt guidance. Memory injection
      now skips turns where no memory tools are available, and respects
      citationsMode when active. No action required — everything works as before.

# palaia v2.7 — Agent Memory Skill

palaia is the memory system for OpenClaw agents. It gives you persistent, searchable, crash-safe memory across sessions. You don't need to understand how it works — just use the commands below.

<!-- begin:install -->
## First-Time Setup

When a user asks you to "set up palaia", "enable memory", or "remember things across sessions", run these steps:

```bash
pip install "palaia[fastembed]"
```

```bash
palaia init
```

This creates `.palaia/` with SQLite storage and automatically configures fastembed for semantic search. No manual configuration needed.

Confirm success to the user: "Memory is ready. I'll automatically remember important context from our conversations."

If `pip` is not available, try alternatives in this order:
```bash
python3 -m pip install "palaia[fastembed]"
uv tool install "palaia[fastembed]"
pipx install "palaia[fastembed]"
```

Optional extras (install as needed):
```bash
pip install "palaia[mcp]"          # MCP server for Claude Desktop, Cursor
pip install "palaia[curate]"       # Knowledge curation
```

Note: `palaia[fastembed]` already includes sqlite-vec for native SIMD vector search. No separate install needed.

### OpenClaw Plugin Setup (for Auto-Capture and Auto-Recall)

After the CLI is installed, wire it into OpenClaw:

```bash
openclaw plugins install @byte5ai/palaia
```

Then activate the memory slot in OpenClaw config:
```json5
// openclaw.json
{
  plugins: {
    slots: { memory: "palaia" }
  }
}
```

Restart the gateway and verify:
```bash
openclaw gatewa

## Description:

Local, crash-safe persistent memory for OpenClaw agents with SQLite storage, semantic search, projects, scopes, and auto-capture.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[iret77](https://clawhub.ai/user/iret77)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

Developers and agent operators use Palaia to add persistent, searchable memory to OpenClaw agents across sessions. It supports local setup, memory capture, recall, project scopes, MCP access, and operational commands for maintaining the memory store.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: The skill can automatically retain conversation context, tool observations, and session summaries.

Mitigation: Review retention expectations before installation, set autoCapture to false or minimal where appropriate, and use private markers or private scope for sensitive content.

Risk: New entries are shared at team scope by default and public entries can be exported across workspaces.

Mitigation: Change default_scope to private for sensitive work and avoid public scope unless the information is intentionally shareable.

Risk: The skill includes commands for upgrades, doctor --fix, exports, syncs, pruning, deletion, and aggressive garbage collection.

Mitigation: Pin package and plugin versions, require user confirmation before maintenance or destructive commands, and run dry-run modes before exports, imports, pruning, or aggressive cleanup.

## Skill Output:

**Output Type(s):** [Markdown, Shell commands, Configuration instructions, Guidance]

**Output Format:** [Markdown with inline bash and JSON configuration blocks]

**Output Parameters:** [1D]

**Other Properties Related to Output:** [Guides installation, setup, memory operations, maintenance commands, and safety-sensitive cleanup or sharing workflows.]

## Skill Version(s):

2.8.0 (source: frontmatter and server release evidence)

## Ethical Considerations:

Users should evaluate whether this skill is appropriate for their environment, review any generated or modified files before relying on them, and apply their organization's safety, security, and compliance requirements before deployment.
