Amygdala Memory

by @alvisdunlop

Emotional processing layer for AI agents. Persistent emotional states that influence behavior and responses. Part of the AI Brain series.

💡 Examples

1. Install

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/amygdala-memory
./install.sh --with-cron

This will:

  • Create memory/emotional-state.json with baseline values
  • Generate AMYGDALA_STATE.md (auto-injected into sessions!)
  • Set up cron for automatic decay every 6 hours
  • 2. Check current state

    ./scripts/get-state.sh
    

    ?? Emotional State

    Valence: 0.20

    Arousal: 0.30

    Connection: 0.50

    ...

    ./scripts/load-emotion.sh

    ?? Current Emotional State:

    Overall mood: neutral, calm and relaxed

    Connection: moderately connected

    ...

    3. Log emotions

    ./scripts/update-state.sh --emotion joy --intensity 0.8 --trigger "completed a project"
    

    ? valence: 0.20 �� 0.35 (delta: +0.15)

    ? arousal: 0.30 �� 0.40 (delta: +0.1)

    ?? Logged emotion: joy (intensity: 0.8)

    4. Set up decay (optional cron)

    # Every 6 hours, emotions drift toward baseline
    0 */6 * * * ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/amygdala-memory/scripts/decay-emotion.sh
