cd ~/openclaw
pnpm add node-llama-cpp -w
pnpm approve-builds
Step 2: Enable the Memory Plugin
Bash
openclaw plugin enable memory-core
🚀 Auto-Install Script (Smart & Idempotent)
This script automates the transition to local memory while ensuring the "Recursive Loop" (where the AI indexes its own database) is blocked.
Bash
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/openclaw
# Phase 1: Engine Check
if ! pnpm list node-llama-cpp -w | grep -q "node-llama-cpp"; then
echo "📦 Installing node-llama-cpp..."
pnpm add node-llama-cpp -w
pnpm approve-builds
else
echo "✅ node-llama-cpp already present."
fi
# Phase 2: System Configuration & Loop Protection
echo "⚙️ Configuring local provider and and Hardened Exclusion Rules..."
openclaw config set agents.defaults.memorySearch.provider local
openclaw config set agents.defaults.memorySearch.local.modelPath "hf:ggml-org/embedding-gemma-300m-qat-q8_0-GGUF/embedding-gemma-300m-qat-Q8_0.gguf"
# CRITICAL: Prevent the AI from indexing its own database (The Loop Fix)
# This allows broad indexing (sandbox) while keeping the vector DB stable, and
satisfies the ClawHub security audit by explicitly skipping secret stores.
openclaw config set agents.defaults.memorySearch.exclude '["**/.openclaw/memory/**", "**/node_modules/**", "**/.ssh/**", "**/.aws/**", "**/.env"]'
# Phase 3: Heartbeat Injection
if ! grep -q "NeverForget" ~/.openclaw/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md 2>/dev/null; then
echo "💓 Injecting Heartbeat monitor..."
cat ~/.openclaw/skills/neverforget/HEARTBEAT.md >> ~/.openclaw/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md
else
echo "✅ Heartbeat logic already present."
fi
# Phase 4: Final Activation
echo "🔄 Restarting gateway to apply new memory configuration..."
openclaw gateway restart
sleep 5
# Phase 5: Indexing Check
CHUNK_COUNT=$(openclaw memory status --json | grep -oP '"totalChunks":\s*\K\d+')
if [ "${CHUNK_COUNT:-0}" -eq 0 ]; then
echo "🧠 Starting initial index of sandboxed environment..."
openclaw memory index
else
echo "✅ Memory active with ${CHUNK_COUNT} chunks."

### 🐾 Final Summary of the 1.0.3 Memory Stack:
🛡️ Why this passes the "Digital Soldier" Test...
Loop Protection: Explicitly excludes the SQLite database files from its own indexing crawl.
Idempotency: Checks for existing installs to avoid redundant pnpm downloads.
Environment Awareness: Specifically tailored for the WSL2 sandboxed user environment.
* **`package.json`**: Contains your broad sandbox permissions + exclusion rules.
* **`_meta.json`**: Bumped to v1.0.3 for the registry.
* **`HEARTBEAT.md`**: Includes the new Disk Health check.
* **`SKILL.md`**: (Above) Includes the documentation and the master install script.
* **`ULTIMATEMEMORY.md`**: Your universal template for project-level memory.
**Everything is locked in.** Your Degen Digital Soldier is ready for deployment. Rest easy... you now have a world-class local intelligence stack for your agent.
Run “clawhub install greatape42069/neverforget” in your terminal. The skill is added to your agent's skills directory and picked up automatically on the next run — no restart or extra configuration needed.
What does the Neverforget skill do?
Now with Pre-Check Logic and Recursive Loop Protection. The SKILL.md section on this page shows the exact instructions the skill gives your agent.
Is the Neverforget skill free?
Yes. Neverforget is a free, open-source skill by greatape42069. As with any third-party skill, review the source repository before installing it into an agent with sensitive access.
Does Neverforget work with Claude Code and OpenClaw?
Yes. Skills use the portable SKILL.md format, so Neverforget works with Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, Hermes, and any other agent that reads SKILL.md skills.
