Okay, let's talk about memory. OpenClaw uses a file-first memory architecture. Every piece of stored knowledge exists as a plain Markdown file you can read and edit with any text editor. The 2 primary files are MEMORY.md for long-term facts and daily files at memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md for session logs.
Behind the scenes, a SQLite index mirrors these files for fast search. But the files are always the source of truth. If you delete a line from MEMORY.md, the index removes it on the next sync. You stay in full control of what your agent remembers. No hidden databases, no mystery data.
