Experience Distiller#

Route completed work into the correct knowledge layer instead of dumping everything into one file.

Quick workflow#

1. Read references/decision-rules.md.
2. Identify the finished task/result.
3. Separate:
   • dated facts/evidence
   • reusable action-level lessons
   • workflow-level changes
   • capability/package opportunities
4. Recommend one of:
   • daily-log
   • experience
   • playbook
   • skill
   • multi
   • no-op
5. If asked to execute, write the files directly.

Non-negotiables#

• Do not store raw noise as long-term knowledge.
• Do not force everything into a skill.
• Prefer experience-bank for tactical reusable lessons.
• Prefer playbooks for canonical multi-step workflows.
• One task may write to multiple layers when justified.

OpenClaw default mapping#

• memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md = dated facts and evidence
• memory/experience-bank/entries/ = trigger-action-failure reusable lessons
• playbooks/ = canonical workflows
• skills/ = reusable capability packages

Output pattern#

Use a short recommendation block:

• route
• confidence
• why
• exact files to write/update
• draft content bullets

Bundled references#

• references/decision-rules.md — routing logic
• references/template.md — lightweight invocation template
• references/examples.md — ready-to-use examples for common task types
