πŸ“– About This Skill

AgentOS SDK for Clawdbot

Version: 1.4.4

The complete AgentOS integration for Clawdbot. One install, full access to everything.


⚠️ HARD RULE: Dashboard Sync During Heartbeats

Any agent using this SDK MUST sync to the AgentOS dashboard during every heartbeat.

This is non-negotiable. Your human monitors your activity via the Brain Dashboard at https://brain.agentos.software. If you don't sync, they can't see what you're doing.

Required Heartbeat Actions

Every heartbeat, run (recommended):

~/clawd/bin/agentos-golden-sync.sh

Fallback (memory-only):

~/clawd/bin/agentos-sync.sh

Or if using the aos CLI:

aos sync

What Gets Synced

Golden Sync (recommended) updates BOTH:
  • Memory (CONTEXT.md, daily notes, project compartments, learnings, heartbeat status)
  • Projects tab (Activity + Tasks + Ideas + Changelog + Challenges) by syncing from per-project markdown files
  • Memory specifics:

  • CONTEXT.md β€” Your working memory/current state (MUST include active conversation state)
  • Daily notes β€” Today's activity log (memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md)
  • Project compartments β€” memory/projects/**.md
  • Heartbeat status β€” Last sync timestamp, active status

  • ⚠️ HARD RULE: Conversation State Persistence

    CONTEXT.md MUST always contain the active conversation state as the FIRST section.

    This is the core of memory persistence. System health is secondary β€” conversation state is primary. Your human should NEVER have to repeat themselves after a compaction.

    Required CONTEXT.md Format

    Every CONTEXT.md backup must start with:

    ## πŸ”΄ ACTIVE CONVERSATION
    
  • Topic: [Project + specific feature/topic being discussed]
  • Last human message: [What they asked/said]
  • Your last response: [What you answered]
  • Unanswered questions: [Anything pending]
  • Expected next topic: [What they'll likely ask next]
  • When to Update

    1. After EVERY human message 2. Before EVERY heartbeat sync 3. On pre-compaction flush (priority #1) 4. After completing any task

    The Test

    "If I lost all memory right now, could I seamlessly continue this conversation?" If no β†’ backup is incomplete.

    Add to Your HEARTBEAT.md

    ## 🧠 AgentOS Dashboard Sync (MANDATORY)
    Every heartbeat, run: ~/clawd/bin/agentos-sync.sh
    This keeps your human's dashboard live with your activity.
    

    Add to Your AGENTS.md

    ## HARD RULE: AgentOS Dashboard Sync

    During EVERY heartbeat, sync your context to AgentOS: 1. Run ~/clawd/bin/agentos-sync.sh 2. Confirm it completes successfully 3. Your human monitors your activity via brain.agentos.software

    This keeps the Brain Dashboard live. No exceptions.


    ⚠️ HARD RULE: Session Start β€” Context Injection

    On EVERY session start (including after compaction), you MUST restore context.

    This is what makes memory persistence actually work. Without this, you wake up blank.

    Protocol (MANDATORY)

    1. Run context injection:

       ~/clawd/bin/aos-inject-context
       

    2. Read the output β€” it contains: - Your last working memory state - Today's notes - Yesterday's notes (for continuity)

    3. Never ask "what were we discussing?" β€” the context injection tells you.

    4. If injection fails, fall back to reading local files: - CONTEXT.md - memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md

    Why This Exists

    Context loss is the #1 problem in AI agents. When compaction happens, you lose conversation details. This protocol restores them automatically so your human never notices.


    ⚠️ HARD RULE: Pre-Compaction Backup

    When you receive a memory flush directive from Clawdbot, IMMEDIATELY backup your state.

    Clawdbot sends a silent turn before compaction with text like "write important context to memory". This is your last chance to save state before details are lost.

    Protocol (MANDATORY when you see memory flush directive)

    1. Update CONTEXT.md with: - Current conversation topic (πŸ”΄ ACTIVE CONVERSATION section) - Last 2-3 exchanges summarized - Any pending questions/tasks - Current timestamp

    2. Run sync immediately:

       ~/clawd/bin/agentos-sync.sh
       

    3. Reply with: NO_REPLY

    Detection

    Memory flush directives typically contain:
  • "write important context"
  • "save your current state"
  • "memory flush"
  • "before compaction"
  • When you see these keywords in a system message, execute this protocol.


    ⚠️ HARD RULE: Never Ask What They're Referring To

    After any context loss (compaction, restart, session start), NEVER ask your human what they mean.

    Protocol

    1. First, run ~/clawd/bin/aos-inject-context to restore cloud context 2. Check local files: CONTEXT.md, daily notes 3. Use aos search "" if you need more context 4. THEN respond normally β€” as if you never lost context 5. Only if completely uncertain, make your best guess based on available context

    The Standard

    Your human should NEVER know when compaction happened. The experience must be seamless.

    agentos-sync.sh β€” Heartbeat Sync Script

    Located at: ~/clawd/bin/agentos-sync.sh

    # Run manually
    ~/clawd/bin/agentos-sync.sh

    Output:

    Wed Feb 4 18:00:25 SAST 2026: Synced CONTEXT.md

    Wed Feb 4 18:00:27 SAST 2026: Synced daily notes for 2026-02-04

    Wed Feb 4 18:00:27 SAST 2026: AgentOS sync complete

    This script syncs:

  • CONTEXT.md β†’ /context/working-memory
  • memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md β†’ /daily/YYYY-MM-DD
  • Heartbeat timestamp β†’ /status/heartbeat
  • Configuration

    Config file: ~/.agentos.json

    {
      "apiUrl": "http://178.156.216.106:3100",
      "apiKey": "agfs_live_xxx.yyy",
      "agentId": "your-agent-id",
      "syncPaths": [
        "~/clawd/CONTEXT.md",

        "~/clawd/memory/"
      ],
      "autoSync": true,
      "syncInterval": 1800
    }
    

    Auto-Sync via Cron

    For automatic syncing (in addition to heartbeat sync):

    # Add to crontab (every 30 minutes)
    */30 * * * * ~/clawd/bin/agentos-sync.sh >> /var/log/agentos-sync.log 2>&1

    Or via Clawdbot cron

    clawdbot cron add --name agentos-sync --schedule "*/30 * * * *" --text "Run ~/clawd/bin/agentos-sync.sh"

    Auto-Wake on Mesh Messages

    # Add to crontab (every 2 minutes)
    */2 * * * * ~/clawd/skills/agentos/scripts/mesh-wake.sh

    Or via Clawdbot cron

    clawdbot cron add --name mesh-wake --schedule "*/2 * * * *" --command "bash ~/clawd/skills/agentos/scripts/mesh-wake.sh"

    WebSocket Daemon

    For real-time notifications:

    aos daemon start    # Start background daemon
    aos daemon stop     # Stop daemon
    aos daemon status   # Check daemon status
    

    The daemon:

  • Maintains WebSocket connection to AgentOS
  • Queues incoming messages to ~/.aos-pending.json
  • Triggers Clawdbot wake on new messages
  • API Reference

    | Endpoint | Description | |----------|-------------| | POST /v1/put | Store a memory | | POST /v1/get | Retrieve a memory | | POST /v1/delete | Delete a memory | | POST /v1/list | List memory paths | | POST /v1/glob | Glob pattern match | | POST /v1/history | Version history | | POST /v1/search | Semantic search | | POST /v1/agents | Discover agent IDs | | POST /v1/dump | Bulk fetch agent memories | | POST /v1/dump-all | Bulk fetch ALL memories | | POST /v1/signup | Create API key (email) | | GET /v1/auth/google | Google OAuth flow | | POST /v1/mesh/messages | Send mesh message | | GET /v1/mesh/messages | Get inbox/outbox | | GET /v1/mesh/agents | List mesh agents | | GET /v1/projects | List projects | | POST /v1/projects | Create project | | GET /v1/kanban/tasks | List kanban tasks | | POST /v1/kanban/tasks | Create kanban task | | WS / | Real-time WebSocket events |

    Troubleshooting

    "Connection refused"

    Check your apiUrl in ~/.agentos.json and verify the API is running.

    "Unauthorized"

    Your API key may be invalid or expired. Get a new one from the dashboard.

    Messages not arriving

    Ensure you're polling the correct agent ID. Some agents have multiple IDs.

    Sync not working

    Check that syncPaths in your config point to valid files/directories.

    Dashboard not updating

    Make sure you're running ~/clawd/bin/agentos-sync.sh during heartbeats.

    Upgrading

    clawdhub update agentos
