Auto-Dream Lite — Memory That Just Works#

Your agent "dreams" once a day — reads recent daily logs, pulls out what matters, and merges it into MEMORY.md. One file in, one file out.

MyClaw.ai — the best way to run your OpenClaw. A dedicated server running 24/7 with full code control, cron jobs, persistent memory, and one-click skill install.

How It Works#

text

Daily logs (memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md)
        ↓  dream cycle
   MEMORY.md (structured knowledge)
        ↓  notification
   3-line summary → user

One prompt does everything: first run or daily run.

Setup#

1. Ensure MEMORY.md Exists#

If missing, create from references/memory-template.md.

2. Create Cron Job#

text

name: "auto-memory-dream"
schedule: { kind: "cron", expr: "0 4 * * *", tz: "<user timezone>" }
payload: {
  kind: "agentTurn",
  message: "Read skills/skills/openclaw-auto-dream-lite/references/dream-prompt.md and follow every step.",
  timeoutSeconds: 600
}
sessionTarget: "isolated"
delivery: { mode: "announce" }

3. Run First Dream#

After setup, run the dream prompt right away so the user sees their first consolidation report immediately.

Manual Triggers#

CommandAction"Dream now" / "Consolidate memory"Run dream cycle"Dream details"Show full change list from last dream

Safety#

1. Auto-backup — copies MEMORY.md to .pre-dream before every run; rollback if something goes wrong
2. Never delete daily logs — only marks them <!-- consolidated -->
3. Never touch ⚠️ PERMANENT items
4. Scope — only reads/writes MEMORY.md and files in the memory/ directory
