+# Using claude-mem with OpenClaw
+
+This guide explains how to integrate [claude-mem](https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem) with OpenClaw to reduce token usage through persistent memory compression.
+
+## Overview
+
+claude-mem is a Claude Code plugin that:
+- Captures everything Claude does during coding sessions
+- Compresses context with AI
+- Injects relevant history into future sessions
+- Reduces token usage ~10x via progressive disclosure
+
+When combined with OpenClaw's agent capabilities, this creates a powerful memory system that persists across sessions.
+
+## Installation
+
+### As an OpenClaw Skill
+
+```bash
+# Install via ClawHub (when available)
+clawhub install claude-mem
+
+# Or manually
+cd ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces
+git clone https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem.git thedotmack
+cd thedotmack && npm install
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+Settings at `~/.claude-mem/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
+  "workerPort": 37777,
+  "dataDir": "~/.claude-mem/data",
+  "logLevel": "info",
+  "contextInjection": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "maxTokens": 4000
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## How It Works with OpenClaw
+
+### Token Savings Pattern
+
+claude-mem uses a 3-layer search pattern that integrates well with OpenClaw's session management:
+
+```
+1. search         → Compact index (~50-100 tokens/result)
+2. timeline       → Chronological context around results  
+3. get_observations → Full details ONLY for filtered IDs (~500-1000 tokens/result)
+```
+
+This is ~10x more efficient than loading full context every time.
+
+### Integration Points
+
+| Component | claude-mem | OpenClaw |
+|-----------|------------|----------|
+| Memory Storage | SQLite + Chroma | MEMORY.md + memory/*.md |
+| Session Context | Lifecycle hooks | Workspace files |
+| Search | MCP tools | memory_search |
+| Token Optimization | Progressive disclosure | Conversation compaction |
+
+### Complementary Use
+
+1. **claude-mem** handles Claude Code session memory (tool calls, code changes)
+2. **OpenClaw** handles conversational memory (MEMORY.md, daily logs)
+3. Together they provide comprehensive context without token bloat

+# claude-mem
+
+Persistent memory compression system for Claude Code. Captures everything Claude does, compresses it with AI, and injects relevant context back into future sessions.
+
+## Features
+
+- 🧠 **Persistent Memory** - Context survives across sessions
+- 📊 **Progressive Disclosure** - Layered retrieval saves ~10x tokens
+- 🔍 **Semantic Search** - Query project history with natural language
+- 🖥️ **Web Viewer** - Real-time memory stream at http://localhost:37777
+- 🔒 **Privacy Control** - Tag-based exclusion from storage
+
+## Install
+
+### Via Claude Code Plugin (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+# In Claude Code session:
+/plugin marketplace add thedotmack/claude-mem
+/plugin install claude-mem
+```
+
+Then restart Claude Code.
+
+### Manual Install
+
+```bash
+cd ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces
+git clone https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem.git thedotmack
+cd thedotmack && npm install
+```
+
+### Register with Claude Code (Required!)
+
+After install, register the marketplace so Claude Code recognizes the plugin:
+
+```bash
+# Run the install script (does this automatically)
+~/.openclaw/skills/claude-mem/scripts/install.sh
+
+# Or manually add to ~/.claude/plugins/known_marketplaces.json:
+# "thedotmack": {"source": {"source": "github", "repo": "thedotmack/claude-mem"}, ...}
+```
+
+This ensures all Claude Code sessions (including OpenClaw-spawned coding agents) use claude-mem.
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **5 Lifecycle Hooks** capture tool usage, prompts, and session events
+2. **Worker Service** (port 37777) provides HTTP API and web viewer
+3. **SQLite + Chroma** store sessions, observations, and vector embeddings
+4. **MCP Search Tools** enable intelligent context retrieval
+
+## Search Pattern (Token Efficient)
+
+The 3-layer workflow saves ~10x tokens:
+
+```
+1. search      → Get compact index (~50-100 tokens/result)
+2. timeline    → Get chronological context around results
+3. get_observations → Fetch full details ONLY for filtered IDs
+```
+
+Example:
+```javascript
+// Step 1: Search index
+search(query="authentication bug", type="bugfix", limit=10)
+
+// Step 2: Review, identify relevant IDs (#123, #456)
+
+// Step 3: Fetch full details
+get_observations(ids=[123, 456])
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Settings at `~/.claude-mem/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
+  "workerPort": 37777,
+  "dataDir": "~/.claude-mem/data",
+  "logLevel": "info"
+}
+```
+
+## Web Viewer
+
+Access at http://localhost:37777 to:
+- View real-time memory stream
+- Browse sessions and observations
+- Search history
+- Configure settings
+- Switch between stable/beta versions
+
+## MCP Tools
+
+| Tool | Purpose | Tokens |
+|------|---------|--------|
+| `search` | Query memory index | ~50-100/result |
+| `timeline` | Chronological context | ~100-200/result |
+| `get_observations` | Full observation details | ~500-1000/result |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+Describe issues to Claude - the `troubleshoot` skill auto-diagnoses.
+
+Common fixes:
+```bash
+# Restart worker
+curl http://localhost:37777/api/restart
+
+# Check status
+curl http://localhost:37777/api/status
+
+# View logs
+tail -f ~/.claude-mem/logs/worker.log
+```
