Ontology to ExpertPack Converter#

Converts an OpenClaw Ontology skill's append-only knowledge graph into a fully compliant ExpertPack with multi-layer retrieval support.

How to Use#

Run the converter script:

bash

python3 {skill_dir}/scripts/convert.py \
  --graph memory/ontology/graph.jsonl \
  --output ~/expertpacks/my-knowledge-pack

Optional flags:

• --schema memory/ontology/schema.yaml — uses type definitions and relation rules
• --name "My Knowledge Pack" — custom pack name (defaults to "Ontology Export")
• --type auto|person|product|process|composite — override auto-detected pack type

What It Produces#

A complete ExpertPack at the output directory:

• manifest.yaml — pack identity, type, context tiers, EK metadata placeholder
• overview.md — summary of graph contents, entity/relation counts, navigation guide
• Content organized by mapped category (relationships/, workflows/, facts/, concepts/, operational/, governance/)
• _index.md in each content directory
• relations.yaml — typed entity relation graph (schema 2.3 compliant)
• glossary.md — entity types and terms
• Lead summaries and ## section headers for optimal chunking

Filenames use kebab-case. Content files kept under 3KB.

Post-Conversion Steps#

1. cd into the generated ExpertPack directory
2. Verify content files are 400–800 tokens each (Schema 2.5 — no external chunker needed for correctly-sized files)
3. Run EK evaluator to measure esoteric knowledge ratio
4. Review and refine manifest.yaml context tiers
5. Commit to git and share via expertpack.ai or ClawHub

See expertpack.ai and the expertpack ClawHub skill for full pack maintenance workflows.

Keep the output pack git-friendly and ready for iterative deepening.
