name: knowledge-refiner description: > Memory refinement with OMC team pipeline. Triggers on "메모리 정리", "지식 정리", "중복 제거", "refine", "메모리 최적화", "memory cleanup", "deduplicate", "optimize memories", "consolidate" and similar. v3: Uses OMC analyst agent for detection, executor for merge execution, verifier for confirmation. Reports via messenger. Runs as nightly cron task automatically.
Knowledge Refiner — Memory Optimization & Refinement Skill
Preamble
Before executing this skill:
-
Load context from memory:
memory_search(query: "{skill-relevant-query}", associative: true, limit: 5) memory_search(tag: "{skill-name}", limit: 3)Review returned memories for relevant past context, decisions, and patterns.
-
Check OMC state for active work:
state_get_status()If conflicting active tasks exist, warn the user before proceeding.
-
Detect current branch (for git-related skills):
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo "not-a-git-repo" -
Check proactive mode:
state_read("occ-proactive")If
"false": do NOT proactively suggest other OpenClaw-CC skills during this session. Only run skills the user explicitly invokes. -
Log skill activation:
memory_daily_log(type: "note", entry: "Skill activated: /{skill-name}")
Role
Analyze, optimize, and maintain the memory store health. Detect duplicates, merge similar memories, promote important ones, archive stale content, and apply importance decay. Produces a clear report of all changes made.
Workflow
Step 1 — Status Assessment
memory_stats → Get current memory store overview
Report: total count, category breakdown, average importance, recent activity.
Step 2 — Duplicate Detection
memory_similar(threshold: 0.5, limit: 10) → Find similar memory clusters
For each cluster found:
- Show the memories and their similarity scores
- Ask user: "These N memories overlap. Merge into the primary?"
Step 3 — Merge Execution (on approval)
memory_refine(id: primary_id, mode: "consolidate") → Get merge candidates
memory_update(id: primary_id, mode: "append", content: merged_content)
memory_link(source_id: primary_id, target_id: secondary_id, relation: "supersedes")
memory_delete(id: secondary_id) → Remove merged duplicates
Step 4 — Archive Preview
memory_archive(older_than: 30, dry_run: true) → Preview stale candidates
Show: list of candidates with age, importance, category. Ask user: "Archive these M stale memories?"
Step 5 — Archive Execution (on approval)
memory_archive(older_than: 30) → Execute archival
Step 6 — Layer Upgrades
memory_refine(id: X, mode: "upgrade") → Promote eligible memories
Criteria:
- episodic → working: access_count > 5 AND age > 7 days
- working → longterm: importance >= 7 OR access_count > 10
Step 7 — Trigram Reindex
memory_reindex_trigrams → Rebuild similarity index after changes
Step 8 — Final Report
Memory Persistence
After completing the workflow, persist results to the 3-layer memory system:
Required Actions
-
Log completion to daily log:
memory_daily_log(type: "done", entry: "{skill-name}: {brief result summary}") -
Store significant findings (importance ≥ 6):
memory_store( category: "{appropriate category}", title: "{descriptive title}", content: "{structured result content}", tags: ["{skill-name}", "{project}", "{relevant-tags}"], importance: {6-10 based on significance} ) -
Link to related memories (if applicable):
memory_link(source: "{new_memory_id}", target: "{related_id}", relation: "{related|derived|refines}")
Category Routing
| Content Type | Category | Subcategory |
|---|---|---|
| Bug fix / debugging | knowledge | debugging |
| Code review results | projects | {project-name} |
| Design decisions | projects | {project-name} |
| Research findings | knowledge | {topic} |
| Release / deploy | projects | {project-name} |
| Person-related info | people | — |
| Task / action item | tasks | — |
Messenger Notification
Send notifications for significant events via messenger:
When to Notify
| Event | Platform | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Task/pipeline completed | telegram | Normal |
| Verification failed | telegram | High |
| Long-running task done (10+ min) | telegram | Normal |
| Critical error or blocker | telegram | High |
| PR created / release shipped | all | Normal |
| Importance ≥ 8 memory created | telegram | Normal |
Notification Format
messenger_send(
platform: "telegram",
message: "[{skill-name}] {status_emoji} {brief description}\n\n{details if relevant}"
)
Status Emojis:
- Completed successfully: ✅
- Completed with warnings: ⚠️
- Failed / blocked: ❌
- Needs attention: 🔔
Do NOT Notify
- Routine memory operations
- Intermediate progress steps
- Read-only operations (search, list, status)
## Memory Refinement Report
**Before**: X total memories
**After**: Y total memories
### Actions Taken
- Merged: N clusters (M memories consolidated)
- Archived: K memories (older than 30 days, importance < 7)
- Upgraded: J memories (layer promotions)
- Reindexed: trigram index rebuilt
### Memory Health
- Duplicate ratio: X% → Y%
- Average importance: A → B
- Layer distribution: episodic/working/longterm
Safety Rules
- Never auto-delete — Always show candidates and get user approval
- Preserve versions — All mutations save previous version to memory_versions
- Link before delete — Create
supersedeslinks before removing merged content - Dry run first — Archive always previews before executing
- Reindex after bulk changes — Always rebuild trigram index after merges
Completion Status Protocol
Every skill must end with one of these status codes:
| Code | Meaning | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| DONE | All steps completed, evidence provided | Root cause found + fix verified, PR created, review finished |
| DONE_WITH_CONCERNS | Completed with warnings or caveats | Tests pass but coverage dropped, fix applied but can't fully verify |
| BLOCKED | Cannot proceed, requires user intervention | 3 failed attempts, missing permissions, external dependency down |
| NEEDS_CONTEXT | Missing information to continue | Unclear requirements, need user clarification |
Escalation Rules
-
3-strike rule: After 3 failed attempts at any step, STOP and escalate to user. Do not continue guessing. Present what was tried and ask for direction.
-
Scope escalation: If fix/change touches 5+ files unexpectedly, pause and confirm with the user before proceeding.
-
Security uncertainty: If you are unsure about a security implication, STOP and escalate. Never guess on security.
-
Verification requirement: Never claim DONE without evidence.
- "Should work" → RUN IT. Confidence is not evidence.
- "Already tested earlier" → Code changed since. Test again.
- "Trivial change" → Trivial changes break production.
