Memory and Feedback

This skill gives the OpenClaw system a learning loop. All 18 skills log their episodes and failures. This skill reads those logs, detects patterns, and proposes improvements — as GitHub pull requests against the SKILL.md files that govern behaviour. Humans review and merge. The system learns.

This is Phase 4 infrastructure, designed to be activated once Phase 3B has been running long enough to generate meaningful data — typically 2-3 months of real operation. The episode and failure hooks in Skills 14-18 write to /data/memory/ from day one. When this skill is activated, months of learning data are already waiting.

Setup

export OPENCLAW_DATA_DIR="/data"
which jq || sudo apt install jq

# Optional: for GitHub PR workflow
export GITHUB_TOKEN="ghp_your_token"
which gh || echo "gh CLI optional — only needed for PR-based improvement proposals"

GITHUB_TOKEN is optional — required only for the PR workflow that proposes skill improvements. Core memory logging and failure tracking works without it using local files only.
