Hippocampus OpenClaw Onboarding

Use this skill when connecting a new OpenClaw instance or workspace to

Hippocampus memory.

Setup Goals

• define a stable workspace name
• assign a durable root agent_id
• configure gateway URL and authentication
• ensure sub-agents inherit scoped memory identity

Preferred Flow

1. Register or sign in through the Hippocampus portal.
2. Create a root OpenClaw agent in the dashboard.
3. Copy the generated bootstrap one-liner.
4. Run:

npx hipokamp-mcp setup --bootstrap-token --gateway

1. Let hipokamp-mcp write local config under ~/.hipokamp/config.json.
2. Verify health and first store/search round trip.

Guidance

• Use one root agent per OpenClaw instance.
• Keep sub-agent IDs under the same workspace namespace.
• Prefer bootstrap-first setup over pasting a long-lived API key.
• Do not reuse credentials across unrelated workspaces.
