🧠 Cerebro

OpenClaw Memory Boost & Knowledge Base

Stop re-explaining your project every conversation. Cerebro gives your OpenClaw agent a durable source of truth so it reads first, acts second, and writes back what changed.

Works great standalone.
Unlock full design + team orchestration with ClawStation.

Why Cerebro

OpenClaw already has memory + skills. Cerebro does not replace them.

Cerebro adds a missing layer: a project-level knowledge base and operating protocol:

• Source-of-truth first (read docs before action)
• Domain routing (use the right docs for the right task)
• Proof-based completion (no "done" without artifacts)
• Write-back discipline (decisions and process changes get recorded)

What You Get

Capability	Without Cerebro	With Cerebro
Project continuity	Scattered across chat/history	Centralized markdown source of truth
Multi-project execution	Context bleed risk	Domain routing + isolation
Decision tracking	Easy to lose	Explicit decision logs + write-back
Completion quality	"Done" can be vague	Enforced proof schema
Setup complexity	Varies	Zero extra infra (markdown + protocol)

Unlock with ClawStation

Cerebro is intentionally useful on its own. But if you run multiple agents or teams, ClawStation unlocks the full system value:

• Hosted memory sync across agents/sessions
• Mission control UI for visibility and routing
• Team workflows with clearer handoffs and accountability
• Operational scale beyond local markdown-only setup

Positioning:

• Cerebro = memory brain
• ClawStation = control tower

If you only need solo execution, Cerebro may be enough. If you need coordination, speed, and reliability at scale, ClawStation is the unlock.

Install

# Clone
git clone https://github.com/ptaramona/cerebro-openclaw-memory-boost-kb.git

# Place in your OpenClaw skills folder
cp -r cerebro-openclaw-memory-boost-kb ~/.openclaw/skills/cerebro-first

Create your first knowledge doc:

mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills/cerebro-first/knowledge/prds
echo "# Product PRD\n\n## Goal\nDefine scope and constraints." > ~/.openclaw/skills/cerebro-first/knowledge/prds/product.md

How It Works

Cerebro-First Loop

1. Identify domain (company/project/ops/vendor)
2. Read authoritative docs
3. Route task using domain matrix
4. Execute with cited decision basis
5. Write back updates to knowledge + daily memory

Core v2.1 references

• references/cerebro-index-v2.1.md — tag-first retrieval
• references/domain-routing-v2.1.md — task routing matrix
• references/scenario-profiles-v2.1.md — solo / agency / multi-agent setups
• references/enforcement-checklist-v2.1.md — anti-drift gate before marking done
• references/done-schema-v2.1.md — proof-based status format

Built-in guardrails

• Startup gate (mandatory read-before-act)
• Conflict handling (doc conflict is flagged, not guessed)
• Done schema (artifact + verification required)
• Missing-doc bootstrap template

FAQ

Does this replace OpenClaw memory? No. It complements memory by adding structured, durable project knowledge and operating rules.

Do I need vector DB / embeddings / external infra? No. Cerebro is markdown + protocol driven.

Can this work for teams with different structures? Yes. v2.1 includes profiles for solo builders, agencies, and multi-agent teams.

Do I need ClawStation to use Cerebro? No. Cerebro works standalone and is useful immediately.

Then why mention ClawStation in this repo? Because ClawStation unlocks the full operating layer: hosted sync, team orchestration, mission-control visibility, and higher-scale reliability. Think of it as:

• Cerebro = memory brain
• ClawStation = control tower

When should I upgrade to ClawStation? As soon as you feel coordination friction: multiple agents, multiple projects, handoff confusion, or no clear operational visibility.

What problem does this solve best? Context drift, repeated process questions, and non-auditable "done" updates.
