Our review

Searches or saves long-term memories on a VPS using the OpenClaw memory system.

Strengths

  • Persistent memory across sessions
  • Text search via SQLite index
  • Structured save as Markdown files with tags
  • Seamless integration with Docker and SSH

Limitations

  • Requires a configured VPS with OpenClaw
  • Memory is local to the VPS, not synced
  • Manual Bash commands needed
When to use it

Use this skill to store important information that needs to be recalled in future conversations.

When not to use it

Do not use it for temporary or disposable data, as each save requires reindexing.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score85/100

The skill uses SSH and Docker commands to interact with a VPS memory system, which carries some risk if credentials or commands are misused, but the operations are straightforward and non-destructive.

name: vps-memory description: Access Flo's long-term memory on the VPS (OpenClaw). ALWAYS use when the user says "memory", "memories", "remember", "souviens-toi", "rappelle-toi", "save memory", "search memory", "VPS memory", "OpenClaw", or mentions saving/searching past sessions or knowledge. allowed-tools: Bash

<objective> Search or save memories on the VPS via OpenClaw's memory system. </objective> <context> Flo's long-term memory lives on the VPS at `~/.openclaw/workspace/`.

NEVER edit MEMORY.md — it's curated by OpenClaw. Always create new files in memory/.

Key paths on VPS

  • MEMORY.md (curated, READ-ONLY): /root/.openclaw/workspace/MEMORY.md
  • Session memories (CREATE HERE): /root/.openclaw/workspace/memory/
  • SQLite index: /root/.openclaw/memory/main.sqlite </context>

<quick_start> Parse user intent, then run the matching command:

Search memories:

ssh vps 'cd /root/openclaw && docker compose exec openclaw-gateway node dist/index.js memory search "QUERY"'

Save a new memory:

ssh vps 'cat > /root/.openclaw/workspace/memory/YYYY-MM-DD-topic.md << '\''EOF'\''
# Session: YYYY-MM-DD (via Claude Code local)
## Topic
Content here

**Tags:** relevant, tags, here
EOF'

Then reindex:

ssh vps 'cd /root/openclaw && docker compose exec openclaw-gateway node dist/index.js memory index'

<intent_mapping>

  • "search memory" / "cherche dans ma mémoire" / "tu te souviens" → search
  • "save memory" / "retiens ça" / "souviens-toi" / "note ça" → save + reindex
  • "show memories" / "list memories" → search with broad query </intent_mapping> </quick_start>

<success_criteria>

  • Search: returns relevant memory results
  • Save: file created on VPS + reindex completed successfully </success_criteria>
