MemOS Local Memory — Agent Guide

This skill describes how to use the MemOS memory tools so you can reliably search and use the user's long-term conversation history, query team-shared data, share tasks, and discover or pull reusable skills.

Two sharing planes exist and must not be confused:

• Local agent sharing: visible to agents in the same OpenClaw workspace only.
• Team sharing: visible to teammates through the configured team server.

How memory is provided each turn

• Automatic recall (hook): At the start of each turn, the system runs a memory search using the user's current message and injects relevant past memories into your context. You do not need to call any tool for that.
• When that is not enough: If the user's message is very long, vague, or the automatic search returns no memories, you should generate your own short, focused query and call memory_search yourself.
• Memory isolation: Each agent can only see its own local private memories and local public memories. Team-shared data only appears when you search with scope="group" or scope="all".
