name: session-log description: Lightweight session logging for OpenClaw agents. Automatically creates a timestamped session file on every session start (including /new resets) and appends topic summaries during conversation. Solves the problem of /new overwriting session history — logs persist across resets and are readable by daily report crons. Use when setting up session continuity, conversation audit trails, or multi-agent daily summaries. Works for main, writer, coding, or any agent.

Session Log

Lightweight session logging that survives /new resets.

How It Works

• On every session start → create sessions/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM_{agent}.md
• During conversation → append a one-line summary after each meaningful topic
• Daily report / cron → glob sessions/YYYY-MM-DD_*.md to reconstruct the full day

Session Startup (add to AGENTS.md)

5. Create `sessions/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM_{agent}.md` (local time) for this session

Get current time and create the file:

python3 /path/to/skills/session-log/scripts/new_session.py --agent main --dir /path/to/workspace/sessions

Or manually:

# Session 2026-03-04 09:30 | main

## Log

During Conversation

After each meaningful topic wraps up, append one line:

echo "- [topic] one-line summary" >> sessions/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM_{agent}.md

Keep it short — one line per topic, a dozen words max. This is a log, not a journal.

Multi-Agent Setup

Each agent writes to its own workspace sessions/ folder. The daily report reads all of them:

Daily Report Integration

In the report cron's prepare step, glob today's session files from all agents:

ls /path/to/main-workspace/sessions/YYYY-MM-DD_*.md
ls /path/to/writer-workspace/sessions/YYYY-MM-DD_*.md
ls /path/to/coding-workspace/sessions/YYYY-MM-DD_*.md

Read each file and include summaries in the conversation recap section, tagged by agent ([main]/[writer]/[coding]).

File Format

# Session YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM | {agent}

## Log

- [topic-a] one-line summary
- [topic-b] one-line summary

Helper Script

Use scripts/new_session.py to create the session file with correct timestamp:

python3 skills/session-log/scripts/new_session.py --agent main --dir workspace/sessions
