Clawpound Knowledge

Knowledge work loop for OpenClaw: brainstorm, plan, review, execute, and compound learnings into durable memory.

Inspired by EveryInc/compound-knowledge-plugin by Austin Tedesco at Every. Adapted for OpenClaw's plugin system and memory architecture.

What It Does

Clawpound Knowledge provides six workflow skills that form a compounding loop:

1. /kw:brainstorm -- Brain dump capture, extract decisions/questions/constraints, search knowledge base
2. /kw:plan -- Research past work, structure plans grounded in data and past learnings
3. /kw:confidence -- Epistemic gut-check before proceeding
4. /kw:review -- Parallel strategic alignment and data accuracy review
5. /kw:work -- Execute plans batch-by-batch with progress tracking
6. /kw:compound -- Extract and save learnings so the next cycle starts smarter

Each cycle produces learnings saved to memory/knowledge/, which OpenClaw's memory_search automatically indexes. Future planning cycles find these learnings, closing the loop.

Installation

openclaw plugins install -l /path/to/clawpound-knowledge

Or via npm (once published):

openclaw plugins install @wonderchook/clawpound-knowledge

Configuration

Enable the tools in your OpenClaw config:

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "clawpound-knowledge": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "knowledgeSubdir": "knowledge",
          "plansDir": "plans",
          "autoSuggestCompound": true
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "tools": {
        "enable": ["clawpound-knowledge"]
      }
    }
  }
}

Memory Integration

Knowledge entries are stored in memory/knowledge/ within the OpenClaw workspace directory. This means:

• memory_search automatically indexes and finds knowledge entries via hybrid BM25 + vector search
• Knowledge entries are "evergreen" (no temporal decay since filenames aren't date-based)
• The kw_knowledge_search tool adds structured search by tags, type, and confidence

Plans are stored in plans/ at the workspace root -- they're working documents, not durable knowledge.

Tools

Three opt-in tools complement the skills:

• kw_knowledge_save -- Save learnings with YAML frontmatter to memory/knowledge/
• kw_knowledge_search -- Search knowledge entries by tags, type, or content
• kw_knowledge_check_stale -- Find entries that conflict with or are superseded by new learnings

This project is inspired by the compound-knowledge-plugin created by Austin Tedesco at Every, Inc. The original plugin provides the same knowledge work loop for Claude Code. Clawpound Knowledge adapts the concept for OpenClaw's plugin system, integrating with OpenClaw's memory architecture.
