πŸ“– About This Skill


name: usewhisper-autohook version: 1.0.0 description: Auto-hook tools for OpenClaw: query Whisper Context before every generation, ingest after every turn. Built for Telegram agents (stable user_id/session_id). author: "usewhisper" metadata: openclaw: requires: bins: ["node"] env: ["WHISPER_CONTEXT_API_KEY", "WHISPER_CONTEXT_PROJECT"] optional_env: ["WHISPER_CONTEXT_API_URL"] security: notes: - Makes outbound HTTPS requests to the Whisper Context API using a user-provided API key. - Does not require additional npm dependencies. - Review the script before use.

usewhisper-autohook (OpenClaw Skill)

This skill is a thin wrapper designed to make "automatic memory" easy:

  • get_whisper_context(user_id, session_id, current_query) for pre-response context injection
  • ingest_whisper_turn(user_id, session_id, user_msg, assistant_msg) for post-response ingestion
  • It defaults to the token-saving settings you almost always want:

  • compress: true
  • compression_strategy: "delta"
  • use_cache: true
  • include_memories: true
  • It also persists the last context_hash locally (per api_url + project + user_id + session_id) so delta compression works by default without you needing to pass previous_context_hash.

    Install (ClawHub)

    npx clawhub@latest install usewhisper-autohook
    

    Setup

    Set env vars wherever OpenClaw runs your agent:

    WHISPER_CONTEXT_API_URL=https://context.usewhisper.dev
    WHISPER_CONTEXT_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY
    WHISPER_CONTEXT_PROJECT=openclaw-yourname
    

    Notes:

  • WHISPER_CONTEXT_API_URL is optional (defaults to https://context.usewhisper.dev).
  • The helper will auto-create the project on first use if it does not exist yet.
  • The "Auto Loop" Prompt (Copy/Paste)

    Add this to your agent's system instruction (or equivalent):

    Before you think or respond to any message:
    1) Call get_whisper_context with:
       user_id = "telegram:{from_id}"
       session_id = "telegram:{chat_id}"
       current_query = the user's message text
    2) If the returned context is not empty, prepend it to your prompt as:
       "Relevant long-term memory:\n{context}\n\nNow respond to:\n{user_message}"

    After you generate your final response: 1) Call ingest_whisper_turn with the same user_id and session_id and: user_msg = the full user message assistant_msg = your full final reply

    Always do this. Never skip.

    If you are not on Telegram, keep the same structure: the important part is that user_id and session_id are stable.

    If Your Agent Still Replays Full Chat History (Proxy Mode)

    If you cannot control how your agent/framework constructs prompts (it always sends the full conversation history), a system prompt cannot reduce token spend: the tokens are already sent to the model.

    In that case, run the built-in OpenAI-compatible proxy so the network payload is actually reduced. The proxy:

  • receives POST /v1/chat/completions
  • queries Whisper memory
  • strips chat history down to system + last user message
  • injects Relevant long-term memory: ...
  • calls your upstream OpenAI-compatible provider
  • ingests the turn back into Whisper
  • Start the proxy:

    export OPENAI_API_KEY="YOUR_UPSTREAM_KEY"
    node usewhisper-autohook.mjs serve_openai_proxy --port 8787
    

    Then point your agent’s OpenAI base URL to http://127.0.0.1:8787 (exact env/config depends on your agent).

    If your agent supports overriding the upstream base URL, you can set:

  • OPENAI_BASE_URL (for OpenAI-compatible upstreams)
  • ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL (for Anthropic upstreams)
  • Or pass --upstream_base_url when starting the proxy.

    For correct per-user/session memory, pass headers on each request:

  • x-whisper-user-id: telegram:{from_id}
  • x-whisper-session-id: telegram:{chat_id}
  • Anthropic Native Proxy (/v1/messages)

    If your agent uses Anthropic's native API (not OpenAI-compatible), run the Anthropic proxy instead:

    export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="YOUR_ANTHROPIC_KEY"
    node usewhisper-autohook.mjs serve_anthropic_proxy --port 8788
    

    Then point your agent’s Anthropic base URL to http://127.0.0.1:8788.

    Pass IDs via headers (recommended):

  • x-whisper-user-id: telegram:{from_id}
  • x-whisper-session-id: telegram:{chat_id}
  • If you do not pass headers, the proxies will attempt to infer stable IDs from OpenClaw's system prompt / session key if present. This is best-effort; headers are still the most reliable.

    CLI Usage (what the tools call)

    All commands print JSON to stdout.

    Get packed context

    node usewhisper-autohook.mjs get_whisper_context \
      --current_query "What did we decide last time?" \
      --user_id "telegram:123" \
      --session_id "telegram:456"
    

    Ingest a completed turn

    node usewhisper-autohook.mjs ingest_whisper_turn \
      --user_id "telegram:123" \
      --session_id "telegram:456" \
      --user_msg "..." \
      --assistant_msg "..."
    

    For large content, pass JSON via stdin:

    echo '{ "user_msg": "....", "assistant_msg": "...." }' | node usewhisper-autohook.mjs ingest_whisper_turn --session_id "telegram:456" --user_id "telegram:123" --turn_json -
    

    Output Format

    get_whisper_context returns:

  • context: the packed context string to prepend
  • context_hash: a short hash you can store and pass back as previous_context_hash next time (optional)
  • meta: cache hit and compression info (useful for debugging)
  • βš™οΈ Configuration

    Set env vars wherever OpenClaw runs your agent:

    WHISPER_CONTEXT_API_URL=https://context.usewhisper.dev
    WHISPER_CONTEXT_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY
    WHISPER_CONTEXT_PROJECT=openclaw-yourname
    

    Notes:

  • WHISPER_CONTEXT_API_URL is optional (defaults to https://context.usewhisper.dev).
  • The helper will auto-create the project on first use if it does not exist yet.
