Excerpt

Claude-Mem OpenClaw Plugin — Setup Guide

This guide walks through setting up the claude-mem plugin on an OpenClaw gateway. By the end, your agents will have persistent memory across sessions via system prompt context injection, and optionally a real-time observation feed streaming to a messaging channel.
