Summary

Create a practical OpenClaw integration package for AMCS so OpenClaw agents can use AMCS consistently as structured memory and project context without drifting into stale instructions or ad-hoc usage.

Why

This issue is still valid, but parts of the original idea are already present inside AMCS itself:

  • describe_tools exposes the live tool list
  • annotate_tool persists usage notes
  • project skills/guardrails already exist
  • llm/memory.md already documents a project startup flow

So this issue should now focus on the OpenClaw-side integration work, not on re-planning features AMCS already has.

1. OpenClaw skill/package for AMCS usage

Create one or more OpenClaw-facing skills or instruction packages that teach agents to:

  • prefer AMCS when durable structured memory is appropriate
  • use project tools early in project-scoped work
  • load project context / skills / guardrails before implementation
  • use domain-specific AMCS tools when available instead of stuffing everything into generic notes

2. Practical startup pattern for AMCS-backed projects

Standardize an OpenClaw-side project startup pattern such as:

  1. identify or set project
  2. call describe_tools
  3. load project context
  4. load project skills
  5. load project guardrails
  6. then plan or implement

3. Storage-boundary guidance

Document when OpenClaw should prefer:

  • local workspace memory
  • AMCS thoughts
  • AMCS structured domain tools
  • AMCS skills/guardrails

4. Lightweight sync/check support

If needed, add a small helper or maintenance step for OpenClaw skill authors so AMCS guidance can be refreshed against the live AMCS tool list.

Out of scope

  • redesigning AMCS tool discovery from scratch
  • duplicating functionality that describe_tools and annotate_tool already provide
  • solving every integration surface beyond OpenClaw

Acceptance criteria

  • At least one OpenClaw-facing AMCS skill/package exists
  • There is a documented AMCS project startup flow for OpenClaw agents
  • Guidance clearly separates local memory vs AMCS thoughts vs structured AMCS tools
  • The integration uses the live AMCS tool surface instead of assuming a frozen tool list
  • The resulting guidance is small and maintainable

Notes

This issue now intentionally overlaps less with the old discovery/sync ticket, because the core runtime discovery problem is already largely addressed inside AMCS.

If the project being worked on can be identified, try to fetch/add it and set it as the active project.

Another requirement is that we add sessions on all the tools to be able to be compatible with Openclaw sessions etc.

Not sure if we need to do anything on openclaw. Much better projects out there.
Might just build a few usable skills and make recommendations for your AGENTS.MD
