This skill gives OpenClaw agents a disciplined way to use Nate Jones OB1 Agent Memory. It pairs with the [NBJ OB1 Agent Memory for OpenClaw integration](../../integrations/openclaw-agent-memory/) and the runtime-neutral [OB1 Agent Memory API](../../integrations/agent-memory-api/).

Local/manual path: copy [SKILL.md](SKILL.md) into the OpenClaw skill
location or package it through the ClawHub publishing flow documented in
[CLAW_HUB_PUBLISHING.md](../../integrations/openclaw-agent-memory/CLAW_HUB_PUBLISHING.md).

## What It Enforces

| Rule | Why |
| ---- | --- |
| Recall before meaningful work | The agent starts with scoped project context |
| Respect `use_policy` | Evidence is not silently promoted into instruction |
| Write back compact memory | OB1 stores operational knowledge, not transcript dumps |
| Include provenance | Future agents can trust, reject, or inspect the memory |
| Report usage | Recall traces become debuggable |
