Mengram Memory
Human-like long-term memory for your OpenClaw agent. Remembers facts, events, and workflows across all sessions and channels.
What This Skill Does
Mengram gives you 3 types of memory that work together:
- Semantic Memory — facts about the user (preferences, relationships, work, habits)
- Episodic Memory — events with timestamps and outcomes (meetings, trips, decisions)
- Procedural Memory — learned workflows with success/failure tracking (how-to steps)
- Experience-Driven Procedures — workflows that self-improve: failures trigger automatic evolution, repeated successes auto-create new procedures
All memory persists across sessions and channels. What you learn on WhatsApp is available on Discord.
Tools
This skill uses Bash to run scripts in {baseDir}/scripts/.
When To Use
ALWAYS search memory before answering questions about the user, their preferences, their history, or anything personal. This is critical — check memory first, then respond.
Save to memory after:
- The user shares personal information (name, preferences, habits, relationships)
- A task or event is completed (booking, deployment, purchase)
- A multi-step workflow is finished successfully or fails
- The user corrects you or provides new context
Record procedure feedback after:
- A known workflow succeeds — run
mengram-feedback.shwithtrue - A known workflow fails — run
mengram-feedback.shwithfalseand describe what went wrong. This triggers automatic procedure evolution — the procedure improves itself.
Get profile when:
- Starting a new session or conversation
- The user asks "what do you know about me"
- You need comprehensive context about the user
Scripts
1. Search Memory
Search all 3 memory types for relevant context. Do this before answering personal questions.
bash {baseDir}/scripts/mengram-search.sh "search query here"
Returns facts, past events, and known workflows matching the query. Use specific queries — "coffee preferences" not "stuff about user".
2. Save to Memory
Save conversation messages so Mengram can extract facts, events, and procedures automatically.
bash {baseDir}/scripts/mengram-add.sh "user said: I'm allergic to peanuts and my meeting with Sarah went well yesterday"
You can pass multiple messages. Mengram's AI automatically extracts:
- Facts → semantic memory ("user is allergic to peanuts")
- Events → episodic memory ("meeting with Sarah, yesterday, went well")
- Procedures → procedural memory (if workflow steps are described)
3. Get Cognitive Profile
Get a comprehensive portrait of the user — who they are, what they know, recent events, known workflows.
bash {baseDir}/scripts/mengram-profile.sh
Returns a full context block you can use to personalize responses.
4. Save Workflow
After completing a multi-step task, save it as a reusable procedure with success/failure tracking.
bash {baseDir}/scripts/mengram-workflow.sh "Resolved billing issue: 1) Checked subscription status 2) Found expired card 3) Sent renewal link 4) User confirmed payment"
Next time a similar task comes up, mengram-search.sh will return this workflow with its success rate.
5. Procedure Feedback (Experience-Driven)
Record success or failure for a procedure. On failure with context, the procedure automatically evolves — AI analyzes what went wrong and creates an improved version.
# Success
bash {baseDir}/scripts/mengram-feedback.sh "procedure-id" true
# Failure — triggers evolution
bash {baseDir}/scripts/mengram-feedback.sh "procedure-id" false "OOM error on step 3, forgot to increase memory limit" 3
Arguments: <procedure-id> <true|false> [failure context] [failed_at_step]
The procedure ID is returned in search results. When evolution triggers, the procedure gets a new version with improved steps — automatically.
6. List Procedures
View all learned procedures, or drill into a specific one to see version history and evolution log.
# List all
bash {baseDir}/scripts/mengram-procedures.sh
# Specific procedure with version history
bash {baseDir}/scripts/mengram-procedures.sh "procedure-id"
Shows procedure name, steps, success/failure counts, version number, and full evolution history.
7. Setup Check
Verify the Mengram connection is working:
bash {baseDir}/scripts/mengram-setup.sh
Recommended Behavior
- Start of session: Run
mengram-profile.shto load user context - User asks something personal: Run
mengram-search.sh "topic"before answering - User shares new info: Run
mengram-add.shwith the relevant messages - After completing a task: Run
mengram-workflow.shwith the steps taken - Task succeeded using a known procedure: Run
mengram-feedback.sh <id> true - Task failed using a known procedure: Run
mengram-feedback.sh <id> false "what went wrong" <step>— this evolves the procedure - Check learned procedures: Run
mengram-procedures.shto see all workflows with versions - Periodically: Run
mengram-add.shwith recent conversation highlights to keep memory updated
Examples
- "What's my favorite restaurant?" →
mengram-search.sh "favorite restaurant" - "Book the usual" →
mengram-search.sh "booking usual preferences"to find what "the usual" means - "I just switched to a new phone, Galaxy S26" →
mengram-add.sh "user switched to Samsung Galaxy S26" - "Remember that I'm vegetarian" →
mengram-add.sh "user is vegetarian" - User asks "what do you know about me?" →
mengram-profile.sh - Deploy succeeded →
mengram-feedback.sh "proc-id" true - Deploy failed at step 3 →
mengram-feedback.sh "proc-id" false "forgot migrations" 3→ procedure auto-evolves - "Show me my workflows" →
mengram-procedures.sh
