name: memory-transfer description: Transfer memory between OpenClaw agents with advanced features: topic-specific filtering, user info privacy protection, and intelligent agent identity adaptation. Use when: (1) Migrating context between agents, (2) Sharing knowledge without leaking user personal info, (3) Backing up agent memory. Supports share mode (filters user data + adapts to target agent) and clone mode (verbatim copy). metadata: { "openclaw": { "emoji": "📦" } }

Memory Transfer Skill

Transfer memory files and context between OpenClaw agents.

Use Cases

• Migrate memory from main agent to a sub-agent
• Copy user preferences to a new agent
• Share project context between agents
• Backup agent memory before resets

How It Works

1. Read source agent's workspace memory files
2. Copy to target agent's workspace
3. Optionally merge with existing memory

Commands

List available agents

ls /home/node/.openclaw/

Transfer memory from source to target

node memory-transfer.js transfer <source-agent-id> <target-agent-id>

Transfer specific memory file

node memory-transfer.js transfer <source-agent-id> <target-agent-id> <memory-file>

List agent memories

node memory-transfer.js list <agent-id>

Preview transfer (dry run)

node memory-transfer.js transfer <source> <target> --dry-run

Examples

Transfer main agent memory to coder agent

node memory-transfer.js transfer main coder

Transfer specific date memory

node memory-transfer.js transfer main coder 2026-03-01.md

Preview what would be transferred

node memory-transfer.js transfer main coder --dry-run

Agent Workspaces

OpenClaw agent workspaces are typically at:

• /home/node/.openclaw/workspace-<agent-id>/
• Main agent: /home/node/.openclaw/workspace-main/

Memory files:

• MEMORY.md - Long-term memory
• memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md - Daily memories
