ov-memory-doctor

Diagnose and fix the OpenViking memory plugin for Codex on this machine: the plugin install (marketplace, config.toml enablement, hook trust records, MCP server), the client configuration (ovcli.conf / ov.conf / OPENVIKING_* env — which one wins, what the API key claims) and the connection to the OpenViking server (reachability, 401/403, /mcp). Use whenever memory "isn't working": no <openviking-context> block appears, recall is always empty, turns are not captured, MCP memory tools are missing or fail, 401/403 errors, right after installing/updating the plugin or switching servers/keys, or when the user asks for the plugin's status. Trigger phrases include "memory not working", "check OpenViking", "plugin status", "记忆没生效", "插件状态", "连不上 OpenViking", "recall 为空", "401", "0 memories extracted". When the server runs on this machine (loopback url) it also checks the port, plugin-only keys in ov.conf that stop the server from starting, and `GET /ready`; everything else server-side stays wit

Use with ov compile when the user asks to distill or synthesize a knowledge base, compare multiple collections, or derive higher-order insights such as changes across financial reports; do not use for document-by-document summaries.0 installsweatherGet current weather and forecasts (no API key required).0 installsov-skillsLoad when an agent needs to manage, install, update, remove, or validate OpenViking skills via the `ov skills` CLI. Trigger on explicit user requests about skill management, when the user mentions `ov skills`, `install skill`, `update skill`, `delete skill`, `validate skill`, or when an agent needs to discover what skills are available on the OpenViking server.0 installsllm-wikiCompile heterogeneous knowledge sources—including documents, notes, web content, transcripts, research materials, and code repositories—into a Karpathy-style, evidence-grounded LLM Wiki with a maintained index; default entity and concept pages; and selective method, comparison, analysis, or reason-requested summary pages.

openviking-memoryWork with OpenViking, the persistent context database behind this agent's memory. Use it whenever the user refers to earlier sessions or shared history ("like last time", "what did we decide"), asks to remember or forget something, shares files, URLs, or repos worth keeping, or when the task needs context this session does not have — even if nobody says the word "memory". Covers choosing between context search, find, list search, and grep, reading viking:// URIs, and when (not) to write.2 installssummarizeSummarize or extract text/transcripts from URLs, podcasts, and local files (great fallback for “transcribe this YouTube/video”).1 installsknowledge-graphCompile documents, notes, web content, transcripts, research materials, or code repositories into an evidence-grounded, visualization-ready knowledge graph with semantically typed entity nodes, statement-level provenance, and typed relationship edges. Use with ov compile to create or incrementally refresh `entities/*.md` node artifacts and a root `relations.jsonl` edge file for people, organizations, groups, animals, places, products, projects, systems, services, documents, events, and other identifiable things.1 installstmuxRemote-control tmux sessions for interactive CLIs by sending keystrokes and scraping pane output.0 installsopencodeMonitor and manage your OpenCode tasks using helper scripts.0 installsinstall-openviking-memoryInstall and configure the OpenViking long-term memory plugin for OpenClaw via natural conversation. Once installed, the plugin automatically captures important facts from chats and recalls relevant context before each reply (auto-capture + auto-recall, cross-session). Covers prerequisites check, plugin install through OpenClaw's plugin manager first, with ov-install only as a backup path, wizard-based configuration, slot activation, gateway restart, verification, plus multi-tenant root-key support, multi-instance, and uninstall. Trigger when the user says any of: "install OpenViking", "set up memory", "configure memory plugin", "add long-term memory", "connect to OpenViking server", "RAG", "semantic memory", "帮我装 OpenViking", "配置记忆插件", "安装记忆功能", "接入 OpenViking", "我有一台 OpenViking 服务器". The user does NOT need to know any CLI commands — the agent runs everything and only asks for a few values. This skill assumes the OpenViking server is already running.
