ClawMem

What ClawMem does

ClawMem turns markdown notes, project docs and research dumps into persistent memory for AI coding agents. Retrieval combines BM25, vector search, reciprocal rank fusion, query expansion and cross-encoder reranking with composite scoring, intent classification and multi-graph traversal. It integrates through Claude Code hooks, an MCP server, a native OpenClaw plugin or a Hermes Agent MemoryProvider plugin, and all paths write to the same local SQLite vault.

That shared vault means a decision captured in a Claude Code session shows up when an OpenClaw or Hermes agent picks up the same project. ClawMem surfaces relevant context on every prompt, bootstraps sessions, captures decisions from transcripts using a local GGUF observer model and writes handoffs at session end. The clawmem mine command imports conversation exports from Claude Code, ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Slack and plain text. The README states it needs no API keys and no cloud dependencies.

Key features

• Hermes Agent MemoryProvider plugin alongside Claude Code hooks, an MCP server and an OpenClaw plugin
• One local SQLite vault shared by every connected agent
• Hybrid retrieval combining BM25, vector search, rank fusion, query expansion and cross-encoder reranking
• Context-surfacing hook, session bootstrap and end-of-session handoffs
• Decision capture from transcripts using a local GGUF observer model
• Import of conversation exports with clawmem mine

When to use it

• Carrying decisions from a Claude Code session into a Hermes agent working on the same project
• Searching markdown notes and research dumps from an agent without a cloud service
• Importing old ChatGPT or Claude.ai exports into agent memory

Who it is for: Developers who run Hermes alongside other coding agents and want a single local memory vault with no cloud dependencies.

How it fits with Hermes Agent

It includes a Hermes Agent MemoryProvider plugin, and Hermes is one of the three agents named in the project title.

Requirements: Runs on Bun (the project is TypeScript on Bun); the README says no API keys or cloud dependencies are needed.
