OpenClaw History Ingest, Session & Memory Mining

You are extracting knowledge from the user's OpenClaw agent history and distilling it into the Obsidian wiki. OpenClaw stores both a structured long-term MEMORY.md and per-session JSONL transcripts, focus on durable knowledge, not operational telemetry.

This skill can be invoked directly or via the wiki-history-ingest router (/wiki-history-ingest openclaw).

Before You Start

Writing profile: Before drafting or rewriting natural-language Markdown, read and apply the Writing Profile Resolution section in llm-wiki/SKILL.md. Framework schema, provenance, safety, and operation-specific requirements take precedence. WRITING.md preferences apply only to newly drafted or rewritten natural-language Markdown; preserve source content and structured records.

1. Resolve config, follow the Config Resolution Protocol in llm-wiki/SKILL.md (inline @name override → walk up CWD for .env → global config → prompt setup). This gives OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH and OPENCLAW_HISTORY_PATH (defaults to ~/.openclaw)
2. Read .manifest.json at the vault root to check what has already been ingested
3. Read index.md at the vault root to understand what the wiki already contains

Ingest Modes

Append Mode (default)

Check .manifest.json for each source file. Only process:

• Files not in the manifest (new session logs, updated MEMORY.md or daily notes)
• Files whose modification time is newer than ingested_at in the manifest

Use this mode for regular syncs.

Full Mode

Process everything regardless of manifest. Use after wiki-rebuild or if the user explicitly asks for a full re-ingest.

OpenClaw Data Layout

OpenClaw stores all local artifacts under ~/.openclaw/.
