Persistent memory for Claude Code.
Safe. Auditable. Yours.
$ git clone https://github.com/tstockham96/claw-kit.git && \
cd claw-kit && ./setup.shClaude Code forgets everything between sessions. Existing memory solutions like OpenClaw solve this but introduce serious concerns: VirusTotal flags on skill files, unofficial WhatsApp libraries, opaque databases, and always-on daemons running in the background. You deserve persistent AI memory without trading away transparency or control.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Name, personality, and voice that carry across every session.
BM25 + optional vector search over your memory files.
AI proactively remembers your preferences, corrections, and decisions.
Automatic session logs so you can review what happened and when.
Track relationships and project state across conversations.
(Source: file#line) so you can verify every claim.
Chat with your AI over Telegram using the official Bot API.
Markdown is the source of truth. No opaque databases, ever.
Transparent by design
| Claw Kit | OpenClaw | |
|---|---|---|
| Runtime | Nothing runs unless you start it | Always-on gateway daemon |
| Messaging | Official Telegram Bot API | Unofficial WhatsApp library (Baileys) |
| Memory | Plaintext markdown + rebuildable search index | Opaque SQLite database |
| Auth | Telegram bot token + user allowlisting | Your personal WhatsApp session token |
| Code | Every file readable, no compiled code | VirusTotal flags on skill files |
| Data | Copy your memory/ folder anywhere, git-versioned |
Locked in SQLite |
