From 5 minutes to production — adding MemoClaw to your OpenClaw agent the right way

From five minutes to production: wiring MemoClaw into your OpenClaw agent without cutting corners MemoClaw exists so you stop babysitting MEMORY.md files. The fastest way to turn a curious OpenClaw tinkerer into a paying operator is to show them how to ship a concrete memory workflow in a single sitting. This guide is that workflow: install the MemoClaw skill, store the first memory, define a recall plan, harden it for production, and cover the failure paths nobody mentions in a hello-world demo. Follow it once and you have a repeatable template for every new agent. Need a refresher on why flat files fail?
