MINDClaw · Open Source

MIND × Claw

OpenClaw, with MIND baked in. One install, one command. Every agent turn pulls from your knowledge graph and writes back to it. Like Obsidian, only every AI you use reads from it.

Other agent runtimes start from zero. MINDClaw remembers.

MINDClaw is a free, open-source distribution of OpenClaw with the MIND knowledge-graph memory layer pre-installed and pre-configured. The 16 typed-document templates seed into your tenant on first run, so every agent that touches your MIND knows how to think, remember, and tag.

Why a Distribution, Not Just a Plugin

The MIND plugin for OpenClaw already exists. MINDClaw goes further: it ships the runtime, the plugin, the templates, the tagging system, and the onboarding wizard as one package. New users go from curl … | bash to a working agent with persistent memory in under two minutes — no API key copy-paste, no config file editing, no plugin install step.

Quick Start

Install

curl -fsSL https://www.m-i-n-d.ai/install/mindclaw.sh | bash

Or, with npm directly: npm install -g mind-claw && mindclaw init

First-run wizard

Pick one:

Paste an existing MIND API key, or
Create a free MIND account on the spot, or
Create an account and upgrade to Claw ($10/mo, BYO LLM).

The wizard writes the OpenClaw plugin config and seeds the 16 typed-document templates into your knowledge graph automatically.

Use it

mindclaw                  # launch interactive session, MIND already wired
mindclaw status           # show MIND connection + plugin state
mindclaw seed-templates   # reseed the typed templates after a major change
mindclaw upgrade          # open Stripe checkout for the $10 Claw tier

How It Works

1. The wrapper. The mindclaw CLI is a slim wrapper around the upstream openclaw runtime. It owns first-run onboarding and a few native commands; everything else forwards verbatim, so muscle memory carries over.

2. The plugin. The MIND plugin for OpenClaw registers two lifecycle hooks — auto-recall before each turn, auto-capture after — plus 11 native tools (memory CRUD, graph traversal, emotional recall, life and CRM logging) and 4 agent skills.

3. The templates. 16 typed-document specs (SOUL, IDENTITY, BELIEFS, USER, AGENTS, TOOLS, SENSES, SKILLS, BEHAVIOR, LESSON, DECISION, POLICY, WORKFLOW, PREFERENCE, GOAL, RELATIONSHIP) seed into your tenant on first run. After that, any agent can ask MIND for the spec — "what should I fill out for a BELIEFS doc?" — and the answer comes back from the user's own knowledge graph.

4. The thinking docs. HOW_TO_THINK.md, HOW_TO_REMEMBER.md, and TAGGING_SYSTEM.md ship in the same seed bundle. They are the operating manual every agent reads before deciding whether to write to memory at all.
