ocmemog Installer#

Install ocmemog from the canonical public package/repo and configure OpenClaw to use it as the memory plugin.

Public install paths#

• npm package: @openclaw/memory-ocmemog
• GitHub repo: https://github.com/simbimbo/ocmemog.git
• GitHub release: https://github.com/simbimbo/ocmemog/releases/tag/v0.1.2
• Plugin id: memory-ocmemog
• Default sidecar endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:17890
• Default timeout: 30000
• Bundled repo installer: scripts/install-ocmemog.sh

Preferred workflow#

1. If OpenClaw package install is available, prefer:
   • openclaw plugins install @openclaw/memory-ocmemog
   • openclaw plugins enable memory-ocmemog
2. If package install is unavailable, or the user wants a source checkout, use the repo installer flow:
   • clone/update https://github.com/simbimbo/ocmemog.git
   • run scripts/install-ocmemog.sh
   • this path creates .venv, installs Python requirements, attempts plugin install/enable, loads LaunchAgents, and pulls local Ollama models when Ollama is available
   • on macOS/Homebrew systems, OCMEMOG_INSTALL_PREREQS=true can also auto-install missing ollama and ffmpeg
3. Patch OpenClaw config so the memory slot points at memory-ocmemog and the plugin entry uses http://127.0.0.1:17890 with timeoutMs: 30000.
4. Validate /healthz and a memory search/get smoke test.

Agent behavior#

• Prefer the package install path when available because it is the cleanest public distribution path.
• Fall back to the repo installer path when package install is unavailable, when the user needs a source checkout, or when debugging/pinning commits.
• If config patch tooling is available, patch config automatically instead of asking the user to hand-edit files.
• After install, verify the sidecar and plugin state before claiming success.
• If the environment blocks automatic config changes, provide the exact config snippet and the shortest possible manual next step.

Config patching#

Target config shape:

yaml

plugins:
  load:
    paths:
      - /path/to/ocmemog
  slots:
    memory: memory-ocmemog
  entries:
    memory-ocmemog:
      enabled: true
      config:
        endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:17890
        timeoutMs: 30000

Rules:

• If installed from package tooling, use the normal plugin install location chosen by OpenClaw.
• If installed from the repo installer flow, use the actual checkout path chosen by the script.
• Preserve existing unrelated plugin configuration.
• If config patch tooling is unavailable, provide the exact patch/snippet the user should apply.

Validation checklist#

• Sidecar responds on /healthz
• openclaw plugins shows memory-ocmemog installed/enabled when CLI access exists
• Memory search/get calls return data instead of connection errors
• If packaging/publish questions arise, remember this skill is a ClawHub wrapper for the public plugin package/repo, not the plugin package itself

Troubleshooting#

• If package install fails, fall back to the GitHub repo installer path.
• If ClawHub users expect a direct plugin package, explain that this skill installs/configures the real plugin package/repo.
• If macOS LaunchAgents fail, rerun the installer and inspect launchctl print gui/$UID/com.openclaw.ocmemog.sidecar.
• If the sidecar health check fails, inspect repo logs / terminal output before changing config.
• Keep the sidecar bound to 127.0.0.1 unless explicit auth/network hardening is added.

Notes#

• Prefer public package install over source checkout when both are viable.
• Use this skill as the ClawHub-distributed installer/config guide for the public ocmemog package/repo.
