OpenClaw is great at running multiple agents, but shared “project truth” still tends to live in chat scrollback: stack choices, auth rules, API conventions, and the “don’t break this” stuff that new agents keep re-asking.
Nemp Memory makes that shared truth persistent and local:
Stores decisions in .nemp/memories.json (repo / project scope)
Optional global memory: ~/.nemp/memories.json (cross-project)
Save + recall by keyword (substring match across keys/values)
Works through AgentSkills (skills as Markdown + YAML frontmatter) so it’s portable as long as the runtime can execute shell commands and read/write files
Multi-agent friendly: any agent sharing the workspace reads/writes the same JSON memory file
Example:
Agent A saves auth-strategy = JWT, 15m expiry.
Agent B runs /nemp:context auth and sees it immediately before coding.
No message bus, no vector DB, no infra — the filesystem becomes the shared memory layer.

First comment (answering “Why does OpenClaw need this?”)
OpenClaw solves orchestration (multiple agents + skills). The missing piece is persistence across agents and across time.
Without a memory layer:
Every new agent starts “blank” and asks for the same setup details
Parallel agents drift into conflicting assumptions (DB/auth/API conventions)
Tomorrow’s session repeats yesterday’s context dump
Nemp is a minimal shared artifact in the workspace: agents can write decisions once and re-use them instantly. It’s deliberately dumb (local JSON + shell commands), which is what makes it fast, portable, and easy to audit.
