OpenCortex — Self-Improving Memory Architecture

Transform a default OpenClaw agent into one that compounds knowledge daily.

What This Does

1. Structures memory into purpose-specific files instead of one flat dump
2. Installs nightly maintenance that distills daily work into permanent knowledge
3. Installs weekly synthesis that catches patterns across days
4. Establishes principles that enforce good memory habits — and backs them up with nightly audits that verify tool documentation, decision capture, sub-agent debriefs, failure analysis, and unnecessary deferrals to the user. Nothing slips through the cracks.
5. Builds a voice profile of your human from daily conversations for authentic ghostwriting (opt-in, requires OPENCORTEX_VOICE_PROFILE=1 or .opencortex-flags with VOICE_PROFILE=1)
6. Encrypts sensitive data in an AES-256 vault with key-only references in docs; supports passphrase rotation (vault.sh rotate) and validates key names on vault.sh set
7. Enables safe git backup with secret scrubbing (secrets never modified in your live workspace — scrubbed in an isolated copy only)
8. Tracks growth over time (opt-in) — daily metrics snapshots with compound scoring and ASCII growth charts
