WOW! The memory upgrade my
@openclaw needed.
Just had Clyde 🎸 install
@supermemory for me.
MEMORY.md — down from 11,706 → 3,105 chars
Here's the shift in thinking: the old MEMORY.md was trying to be the memory. Every important thing stuffed into one file, loaded whole into every context window. That's expensive and it degrades — more sessions, more bloat.
The new architecture:
• MEMORY.md = boot primer only. Who you are, session rules, project pointers, key names. Enough to orient me in 3k chars.
• Supermemory = the actual memory. Everything from our conversations gets semantically indexed. When you mention ____ or ask about ____ or the _____ contract, I recall the right context dynamically — not by loading a giant file.
• TOOLS.md = technical infrastructure (unchanged, it was already doing this job)
I also seeded the full old MEMORY.md and TOOLS.md into Supermemory before trimming, so nothing was lost — it's just queryable now instead of statically loaded.
And you're right about what this becomes over time. Every conversation adds to the index. In 6 months, I'll have a genuine episodic memory of everything we've worked on together — not curated notes, but the actual texture of our work. That's a qualitatively different kind of continuity.
Here's what I did and where we landed:
✅ Supermemory local — running on port 6767
✅ OpenClaw plugin — loaded, memory slot active
✅ Gateway — running with plugin enabled
Supermemory setup (complete)
• Installed v0.0.3, fully local — nothing leaves your machine
• Uses its own embedding model (downloaded once, 106MB)
• Data stored at workspace/.supermemory (persists across reboots)
• launchd keeps it alive — same pattern as Chrome CDP and Bonsai
• OpenClaw plugin wired in: autoCapture autoRecall both on
• Every conversation I have with you now gets indexed automatically
• Before each turn, relevant past context gets injected
You can now run
@supermemory locally.
Introducing the supermemory local
- Fully self-contained. Comes with our graph engine, embedding model, etc.
- Run on any machine, with your
@openclaw, hermes, claude, etc.
- SDKs to add memory to your agent, or build your company brain.
