We Extracted OpenClaw’s Memory System and Open-Sourced It (memsearch)

What this post added

Introduced memsearch, a standalone, plug-and-play long-term memory library that extracts and open-sources the memory system from OpenClaw. Memsearch provides agents with persistent, transparent, and human-editable memory by storing all memory as plain Markdown files on the local filesystem and using Milvus for vector indexing. Key features include readable Markdown for debugging, Git-backed memory for versioning and collaboration, effortless migration due to plaintext storage, and shared Markdown files for co-authoring memory between humans and agents. The underlying workflows include Watch (automatic re-indexing on file save), Index (smart chunking, deduplication, and version-aware embeddings), Search (retrieval), and Compact (summarization).
