Give OpenClaw Persistent Memory
Your OpenClaw agent forgets everything after each session. The Awareness plugin gives it long-term memory — auto-recall context, auto-capture decisions, share knowledge across tools and teams.

Up and Running in 3 Steps
Step 1
Install the Plugin
One command to install the Awareness memory plugin into your OpenClaw environment.
Step 2
Connect Your Memory
Sign in to Awareness and select which memory library to connect. The CLI handles everything.
Step 3
Start Coding
Your agent now remembers context across sessions. No code changes needed — hooks handle everything automatically.
Automatic Memory Hooks
No manual save or load. The plugin hooks into the OpenClaw lifecycle to handle memory transparently.
Auto-Recall
Before each task, the plugin automatically retrieves relevant context from your memory library — past decisions, code patterns, project knowledge.
before_agent_start
Auto-Capture
After each task completes, new decisions, insights, and context are automatically saved to your memory library for future sessions.

What Your Agent Remembers
Code Style & Conventions
Naming conventions, formatting preferences, and architecture patterns remembered across all sessions.
Project Context
Tech stacks, dependencies, and project structure carried over automatically — no re-explaining needed.
Decision History
Why you chose PostgreSQL over MongoDB, or React over Vue. Past decisions and their reasoning preserved.
Team Handoff
Rollout notes, review comments, and next steps shared so teammates can pick up work without a cold start.
Regression Prevention
Past bugs, fixes, and pitfalls remembered so the same mistakes are never repeated.
Cross-Tool Continuity
Same memory works across OpenClaw, Cursor, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible tool.
Give OpenClaw Memory
OpenClaw forgets everything after each session? Copy this prompt into your OpenClaw agent and it will install the openclaw-memory plugin, so your preferences, decisions, and context carry over across every conversation.
One prompt, automatic plugin install
Help me install the Awareness Memory plugin for OpenClaw. Just run: ```bash openclaw skills install awareness-memory ``` That's it! The plugin auto-starts a local daemon on first use — no account, API key, or setup needed.
This prompt tells OpenClaw to download the openclaw-memory plugin, write the config, and guide you through verification.
What OpenClaw Can Do with Memory
Code Style Recall
OpenClaw remembers your naming conventions, formatting preferences, and architecture patterns across all sessions.
Project Context Carry-Over
Switch between projects without re-explaining tech stacks, dependencies, or project structure every time.
Decision History
Why did you choose PostgreSQL over MongoDB? OpenClaw remembers past decisions and the reasoning behind them.
Team Handoff Context
Save rollout notes, review comments, and next steps so another agent or teammate can pick up the work without a cold start.
Regression Prevention
Recall prior bugs, failed fixes, and risky files before editing the same area again.
Cross-Tool Continuity
Share the same memory with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and SDK workers instead of trapping context inside one tool.
Up and Running in 3 Steps
No complex setup. No infrastructure headaches. Just copy, paste, and go.
Create Your Memory
Our AI wizard helps you set things up in about 30 seconds — just describe what you need. It drafts the memory name, retrieval strategy, and agent roles for you to review.
Copy One Setup Prompt
Instead of editing MCP JSON by hand, copy one setup prompt and paste it into your AI tool. The agent can guide the install, write the config, and tell you what to verify next.
Help me set up Awareness Memory. Run this command:
```bash
npx @awareness-sdk/setup
```
When done, write a 1-sentence summary of what's installed.Best for Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, and other chat-first coding agents.
Where to paste
Start CLI Setup with MCP Autofill
Copy and paste this command to launch the setup CLI in MCP configure mode. It can prompt for missing values, detect supported IDEs, and write config plus workflow rules for you.
$ npx @awareness-sdk/setup --configure-mcpSupports auto-detection for tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot, then writes the config automatically.
Install in 30 Seconds
One command. Free forever for personal use. Your agent will thank you.
No account needed — local mode works offline and is free forever.
