Smart Memory v3.1 Skill

Smart Memory v3.1 is a local transcript-first cognitive memory runtime with revision-aware derivation, pinned context lanes, entity-aware retrieval, and bounded prompt composition.

Core runtime:

Node adapter:
```
smart-memory/index.js
```
Local API:
```
server.py
```
System facade:
```
cognitive_memory_system.py
```

Canonical store:

storage/sqlite_memory_store.py

plus

transcripts/

Core Capabilities

transcript-first ingest and per-message transcript logging
typed long-term memory including
```
preference
```
,
```
identity
```
, and
```
task_state
```
evidence-backed revision lifecycle decisions and supersession chains
explicit core and working memory lanes
entity-aware retrieval with lightweight relationship hints
deterministic rebuild from transcript history
hot-memory compatibility projection for working context
strict token-bounded prompt composition with trace metadata
inspection endpoints for transcripts, evidence, history, lanes, and eval runs

OpenClaw Integration

Use the native wrapper package in

skills/smart-memory-openclaw/

Primary exports:

```
createSmartMemorySkill(options)
```

createOpenClawHooks({ skill, agentIdentity, summarizeWithLLM })

The wrapper remains stable while the backend is now transcript-first under the hood.

Tool Interface

```
memory_search
```

purpose: query relevant memory through
```
/retrieve
```

supports

query

type

limit

min_relevance

, and optional

conversation_history

health-checks the backend before execution

```
memory_commit
```

purpose: persist important facts, decisions, beliefs, goals, or session summaries
health-checks the backend before execution
serializes commits to protect local embedding throughput
queues failed commits in
```
.memory_retry_queue.json
```

```
memory_insights
```

purpose: surface pending background insights
health-checks the backend before execution
calls
```
/insights/pending
```

API Endpoints

Core endpoints:

```
GET /health
```
```
POST /ingest
```
```
POST /retrieve

```
```
GET /memories
```
```
GET /memory/{memory_id}
```
```

```
```
GET /memory/{memory_id}/active
```
```

```
```
GET /lanes/{lane_name}
```
```
POST /lanes/{lane_name}/{memory_id}
```
```
DELETE /lanes/{lane_name}/{memory_id}
```
```
POST /rebuild
```
```
POST /rebuild/{session_id}
```
```
GET /eval/suite/{suite_name}
```
```
GET /eval/case/{case_id}
```

Operating guidance

query memory before speaking when continuity matters
do not claim prior context unless retrieval actually supports it
transcripts are canonical, memories are derived
treat SQLite as canonical runtime storage
treat JSON as offline export or backup only
keep CPU-only PyTorch policy intact

Deprecated

Legacy vector-memory CLI artifacts remain deprecated and should not be revived.
