Conversation Archiver

Standardized workflow for archiving completed conversations and projects.

Requirements

• File system access (workspace directory)
• Optional: OpenClaw Discord channel for posting summaries

When to Use

• Project reaches completion
• A conversation thread is resolved
• User says "archive this" or "we're done with X"
• Periodic cleanup of old project channels

Workflow

1. Write summary file:
2. Path: archive/conversations/YYYY-MM-DD_topic-slug.md

3. Format: ```markdown # [Topic Name] Date: YYYY-MM-DD Duration: [how long the project/conversation spanned] Status: Completed

   ## Summary [2-3 paragraph summary of what happened]

   ## Key Decisions - [Decision 1] - [Decision 2]

   ## Outcomes - [What was built/changed/resolved]

   ## Open Items - [Anything left unresolved, or "None"] ```

4. Post to Discord (optional): Send summary to a designated archive channel

5. Keep Discord post concise -- summary + outcomes only

6. Link to the full file if details are long

7. Update daily memory: Add a line to today's memory file noting the archival

8. Update tasks: If the conversation relates to a tracked task, mark it complete

Naming Convention

File slug: lowercase, hyphens, no special chars. Examples: - 2026-02-24_discord-server-cleanup.md - 2026-02-20_multi-user-agent-deploy.md - 2026-02-15_connector-setup.md

Configuration

Set these in your workspace to customize: - Archive directory: Default archive/conversations/ relative to workspace - Discord channel: Set a channel ID for posting summaries (optional) - Memory file pattern: Default memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
