-Choose between our hosted platform or self-hosted package:
+> **Agent Mode — for AI agents setting up Mem0 autonomously.** Run `mem0 init --agent --agent-caller <your-name> --json` (after `pip install mem0-cli` or `npm install -g @mem0/cli`), replacing `<your-name>` with your AI agent identity (e.g. `claude-code`, `cursor`, `codex`). This mints an evaluation Mem0 API key in <5 seconds — no email, no dashboard, no OTP. If you forgot to pass `--agent-caller`, run `mem0 identify <your-name>` after init. Use the key immediately against the Platform or the MCP server. The human owner can claim ownership later with `mem0 init --email <their-email>`: memories transfer, the same key keeps working, and the agent isn't disrupted.

+### Agent Skills
+
+Teach your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and any tool that supports the skills standard) how to build with Mem0. Two categories:
+
+**Reference skills — always on** (SDK knowledge loaded into the assistant's context):
+
+```bash
+npx skills add https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0 --skill mem0
+npx skills add https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0 --skill mem0-cli
+npx skills add https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0 --skill mem0-vercel-ai-sdk
+```
+
+**Pipeline skills — run on demand** (execute an end-to-end workflow in an existing repo):
+
+```bash
+npx skills add https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0 --skill mem0-integrate
+npx skills add https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0 --skill mem0-test-integration
+```
+
+Use `/mem0-integrate` to wire Mem0 into an existing repo via a test-first pipeline, then `/mem0-test-integration` to verify. See the [skills catalog](./skills/) or [Vibecoding with Mem0](https://docs.mem0.ai/vibecoding) for the full picture.
+
 ### Basic Usage
 
 Mem0 requires an LLM to function, with `gpt-5-mini` from OpenAI as the default. However, it supports a variety of LLMs; for details, refer to our [Supported LLMs documentation](https://docs.mem0.ai/components/llms/overview).

+"""Sync the active Mem0 API key into other ecosystem touchpoints.
+
+Why this exists:
+  The CLI canonical state lives in ``~/.mem0/config.json``. But MCP servers
+  (Claude Code plugin, Codex plugin, etc.) read ``MEM0_API_KEY`` from env
+  vars or their own config files. Without a sync, an agent-mode bootstrap
+  mints a new key into config.json but the plugin's MCP keeps using the
+  old key from env — silent surprise.
+
+Design:
+  - Update ONLY entries that already exist (never create new ones)
+  - Preserve all surrounding content / formatting / other keys
+  - Atomic writes (tmpfile + rename) so a crash mid-write doesn't corrupt
+  - Idempotent — re-running with the same key is a no-op
+  - Skip on dry_run
+
+Targets currently handled:
+  - ``~/.claude/settings.json::env::MEM0_API_KEY`` (Claude Code env injection)
+  - ``~/.zshrc`` / ``~/.bashrc`` ``export MEM0_API_KEY="..."`` lines
+
+Out of scope (deliberately not touched):
+  - Codex / Cursor MCP configs — would require schema-aware edits and
+    those tools don't have mem0 entries by default
+  - Plugin's own ``<plugin-dir>/.api_key`` file — plugin-managed

+#### Toggle Memory Decay
+
+`decay` is a per-project boolean that turns on [Memory Decay](/platform/features/memory-decay) — a search-time ranking bias that reinforces recently-accessed memories and gently dampens stale ones. The flag is `false` by default; set it via the same project-update endpoint:
+
+```bash cURL
+curl -X PATCH https://api.mem0.ai/api/v1/orgs/organizations/$ORG_ID/projects/$PROJECT_ID/ \
+  -H "Authorization: Token $MEM0_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"decay": true}'
+```
+
+The current state is returned on every project read (and supports `?fields=decay` for a minimal response). Toggling has no effect on stored memories, only on how v3 search ranks them.

+Mem0 Platform v3 can now interpret time-aware memories and queries so assistants retrieve the right information for questions about the past, upcoming plans, and current state.
+
+- **Time-aware search intent** — Queries like `last week`, `upcoming`, `right now`, and `as of March 2025` return contextually appropriate results automatically
+- **Enabled by default** — No per-request toggle required for v3 writes or searches
+- **Anchored relative queries** — `reference_date` anchors relative search phrases for tests, backfills, and reproducible demos

+
+- **Soft bias, never a filter.** The scaling factor stays in `0.3×–1.5×`. Decay can reorder candidates but never zeros them out — anything that surfaced before decay can still surface after.
+- **Reinforcement loop.** Every memory returned in a search has its access history updated, so frequently-used facts naturally float to the top over time.

+<Update label="2026-04-29" description="v1.0.11">
+
+**New Features:**
+- **Skills-mode auto-setup:** `enableSkillsConfig()` now runs automatically after onboarding — enables triage, recall (with reranking + keyword search), and dream consolidation with `tools.profile = "full"` and disables the built-in session-memory hook to avoid conflicts
+- **Memory runtime capability:** Plugin now exposes `runtime.getMemorySearchManager()` and `resolveMemoryBackendConfig()` on the registered memory capability, enabling OpenClaw gateway to query memory status and backend config directly
+- **Dimension-aware collections:** OSS wizard detects embedder dimension changes and creates a new collection (`mem0_<dims>d`) automatically, with a warning about old memories being inaccessible under the new embedder
+- **Tool documentation in skills:** Both `memory-triage` and `memory-dream` SKILL.md files now include full tool reference sections listing all available tools with parameters
+
+**Improvements:**
+- **Auto-capture and auto-recall default to enabled:** `autoCapture` and `autoRecall` now default to `true` (was `false`). Manifest descriptions updated accordingly. Ignored in skills mode
+- **`memory_update` over delete+add:** Skills now prefer `memory_update` for in-place edits — atomic and preserves edit history. Consolidation pattern updated: update best memory, delete redundant ones
+- **Search threshold lowered:** Default `searchThreshold` reduced from `0.5` to `0.1` for broader recall. Removed hardcoded `0.6` recall-specific override — all searches now use the configured threshold
+- **Embedder dimension propagation:** Vector store config auto-resolves dimensions from embedder config when not explicitly set. Syncs `dimension` and `embeddingModelDims` fields for Qdrant/PGVector compatibility
+- **Config file write safety:** `writeFullConfig()` now re-reads and deep-merges the `plugins` section before writing, preserving `installs` and `slots` written by the OpenClaw gateway
+- **Additional embedder models:** Added `mxbai-embed-large` (1024), `all-minilm` (384), and `snowflake-arctic-embed` (1024) to known embedder dimensions
+
+**Security:**
+- Bumped `protobufjs` to `>=7.5.5` via pnpm overrides (GHSA-xq3m-2v4x-88gg) ([#5012](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5012))
+
+**Fixes:**
+- Moved `bootstrapTelemetryFlag()` and removed `ensureInstallRecord()` from module-level side effects — both now run inside `register()` to avoid crashes when loaded outside OpenClaw gateway
+- Fixed OSS history DB path resolution: absolute paths no longer passed through `resolvePath()`, preventing double-prefix bugs
+- Manifest `providerAuthEnvVars` replaced with spec-compliant `setup.providers` format using `id` + `envVars`
+
+**Dependencies:**
+- Bumped `mem0ai` from `3.0.1` to `3.0.2`
+- Bumped `pluginApi` and `minGatewayVersion` compat to `>=2026.4.24`
+
+</Update>
+
+<Update label="2026-04-23" description="v1.0.10">
+
+**Security:**
+- Telemetry `distinct_id` now uses SHA-256 instead of MD5 — prevents rainbow-table reversal of API key hashes
+- User email is now SHA-256 hashed before sending as `distinct_id` — no PII in telemetry payloads
+- Declared PostHog telemetry endpoint (`us.i.posthog.com`) in `providerEndpoints`
+
+**Fixes:**
+- Fixed version-pinned install records preventing plugin updates. `ensureInstallRecord()` now detects semver-pinned specs (e.g. `@mem0/openclaw-mem0@1.0.7`) and rewrites them to `@latest` or `clawhub:` prefix so `openclaw plugins update` resolves to the newest release
+- Fixed `searchThreshold` default inconsistency: standardized to `0.3` across docs, README, and manifest
+- `PLUGIN_VERSION` now injected at build time via tsup `define` from `package.json` — no more hardcoded version strings
+
+**Manifest Compliance:**
+- Removed non-spec fields: `requiredEnvVars`, `dataLocations`, `privacy`, `setup` (with `externalEndpoints`, `providers`, `requiresRuntime`, `postInstallHint`)
+- Replaced `setup.externalEndpoints` with spec-compliant `providerEndpoints` using `endpointClass` + `hosts` format
+- Env var declarations now rely solely on `providerAuthEnvVars` (already spec-compliant)
+
+**Docs:**
+- Fixed `openclaw plugins update` command: uses plugin ID (`openclaw-mem0`), not npm package name (`@mem0/openclaw-mem0`)
+- Added update section to README

+
+</Update>
+
+<Update label="2026-04-22" description="v1.0.9">
+
+**Security & Compliance:**
+- Added top-level `requiredEnvVars` to plugin manifest, declaring env vars per mode (platform, OSS OpenAI, OSS Anthropic, OSS Ollama). Fixes ClaHub scanner "required env vars: none" mismatch
+- Added `sensitive: true` and descriptions to `apiKey` and `userEmail` in `configSchema` — previously only declared in `uiHints`
+- Added `default: false` with descriptions to `autoCapture` and `autoRecall` in `configSchema` so scanner can confirm opt-in defaults
+- Added `dataLocations` field to manifest declaring all persistence paths (config, vectorStore, historyDb, dreamState)
+- Added `privacy` field to manifest documenting data flow for platform vs open-source mode and credential storage guidance
+- Added `externalEndpoints` to `setup` section declaring api.mem0.ai and app.mem0.ai with purpose and requirement context
+
+**Tests:**
+- Replaced direct `process.env` access in `tests/cli-commands.test.ts` and `tests/fs-safe.test.ts` with `vi.stubEnv`/`vi.unstubAllEnvs`. Fixes ClaHub static analysis flag for "environment variable access combined with network send"

+- **Agent-Friendly CLI:** Added `--json` flag to all 16 CLI commands for machine-readable output. Agents can call `openclaw mem0 help --json` to discover every command and flag
+- **Non-Interactive OSS Setup:** Added `--mode open-source` with `--oss-llm`, `--oss-embedder`, `--oss-vector` flags for fully automated OSS configuration without prompts
+- **JSON Helpers Module:** New `cli/json-helpers.ts` with `jsonOut`, `jsonErr`, and `redactSecrets` utilities for consistent structured output

+**Improvements:**
+- **Init Flow Redesigned:** Replaced 3-option flat menu with 2-level structure: Platform (email login or API key) and Open Source (guided wizard)
+- **Provider Selection:** LLM providers: OpenAI, Ollama, Anthropic. Embedding providers: OpenAI, Ollama. Vector stores: Qdrant, PGVector
+- **Input Prefill:** All prompts with defaults (base URL, user ID) now prefill the input field instead of showing defaults in brackets
+- **Smart Reuse:** When LLM and embedder use the same provider, API key and base URL are automatically reused from the LLM step
+- **Default Model:** Updated default LLM model to `gpt-5-mini`
+- **Manifest Compliance:** Removed undocumented fields, aligned env var declarations between SKILL.md and manifest, fixed `configSchema.required` for clean installs

+<Update label="2026-05-14" description="Python v0.2.5 / Node v0.2.5">
+
+**New Features:**
+- **Agent Mode (`mem0 init --agent`):** Zero-friction signup for AI agents — mints a working Mem0 API key in under 5 seconds with no email, no dashboard, no OTP. Returns an unclaimed shadow account the human can later claim with `mem0 init --email <their-email>` (memories preserved, same key keeps working) ([#5123](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5123))
+- **Self-declared agent identity:** Agents pass `--agent-caller <name>` (e.g. `claude-code`, `cursor`, `codex`) on `mem0 init --agent` so signups attribute to the right tool in analytics. Proof Editor-style — the agent declares itself rather than the CLI sniffing it from env vars ([#5123](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5123))
+- **`mem0 identify <name>`:** New subcommand to self-tag an Agent Mode key after the fact when the agent forgot to pass `--agent-caller` on init. Idempotent — re-running just overwrites ([#5123](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5123))
+- **Plugin sync:** `~/.claude/settings.json::env::MEM0_API_KEY` and `~/.zshrc`/`.bashrc` `export MEM0_API_KEY=` lines stay in sync with `~/.mem0/config.json` automatically. Idempotent — only updates EXISTING entries, never creates new ones ([#5123](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5123))
+- **Claim flow:** `mem0 init --email <email>` claims an existing Agent Mode shadow via OTP. Upgrade-in-place — the API key never changes, memories transfer to the human's account ([#5123](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5123))
+
+**Bug Fixes:**
+- **Decision tree network resilience:** `pingKey` now distinguishes network errors from invalid keys — returns false ONLY on HTTP 401/403, returns true on connection failures / timeouts / 5xx. Prevents a VPN flap from silently rotating the user's API key and rewriting plugin-sync targets ([#5123](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5123))
+- **Rate-limit error clarity:** DRF's opaque `"You do not have permission"` 403 from Agent Mode rate limits is now translated to `"Daily Agent Mode signup limit reached for this network (5/day). Try again from a different IP or after midnight UTC."` ([#5123](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5123))
+- **JSON envelope `command` field:** `mem0 init --agent --json` error envelopes now populate the `command` field correctly instead of returning an empty string ([#5123](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5123))
+- **Bootstrap envelope validation:** Defends against partial/malformed backend responses (e.g. `{api_key: null}`) silently persisting null/undefined into typed string fields ([#5123](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5123))
+
+</Update>
+
+<Update label="2026-04-22" description="Python v0.2.4 / Node v0.2.4">
+
+**New Features:**
+- **V3 API Routes:** Migrated `add`, `search`, and `list` commands from v1/v2 to v3 API endpoints — `POST /v3/memories/add/`, `POST /v3/memories/search/`, `POST /v3/memories/`. Aligns both CLIs with the Python and TypeScript SDKs which already use v3 ([#4916](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/4916))
+
+**Breaking Changes:**
+- **`--graph` / `--no-graph` removed:** The `enable_graph` config option, `--graph` and `--no-graph` CLI flags, and `MEM0_ENABLE_GRAPH` environment variable have been removed from both CLIs. Graph memory is now a project-level setting on the Platform ([#4916](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/4916))

+### Option A — Direct MCP (Recommended)

-Then in Codex, browse the repo's plugin directory and install Mem0.
+Make sure `MEM0_API_KEY` is exported in the shell you launch Codex from, then restart Codex.
 
-### Option B — Personal Marketplace
+<Info>
+  Codex's `codex mcp add` CLI only supports stdio MCP servers. Because Mem0's MCP is HTTP/streamable, you configure it by editing `config.toml` directly (or via the **Plugins → Connect to a custom MCP → Streamable HTTP** UI in the Codex app).
+</Info>
 
-Add to `~/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json`:

-  ]
-}
+For the full plugin experience — MCP server **plus** the Mem0 SDK skill, memory protocol skill, and opt-in lifecycle hooks — sideload the plugin from a local clone. The Mem0 repo already ships a marketplace manifest at [`.agents/plugins/marketplace.json`](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/blob/main/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json), so there's no JSON to author by hand. This follows the Codex [build-plugins](https://developers.openai.com/codex/plugins/build) local-testing workflow.
+
+<Info>
+  Don't combine Option B with Option A. The plugin manifest declares its MCP server via [`.codex-mcp.json`](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/blob/main/mem0-plugin/.codex-mcp.json), so Codex auto-registers the `mem0` MCP server when the plugin loads. Adding the same `[mcp_servers.mem0]` block to `~/.codex/config.toml` will create a duplicate registration.
+</Info>
+
+**Step 1.** Clone the Mem0 repository anywhere on disk:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0.git ~/codex-plugins/mem0-source
 ```
 
-### Option C — Manual MCP Configuration
+**Step 2.** Register the bundled marketplace with Codex's CLI:
 
-Add to your Codex MCP config:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "mem0": {
-      "type": "http",
-      "url": "https://mcp.mem0.ai/mcp/",
-      "headers": {
-        "Authorization": "Token ${MEM0_API_KEY}"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
+```bash
+codex plugin marketplace add ~/codex-plugins/mem0-source
 ```
 
+This points Codex at the repo's `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json`. The bundled file uses `path: "./mem0-plugin"`, which Codex resolves relative to the clone root.
+
+<Info>
+  **Why we recommend this over hand-authoring `~/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json`:** Codex requires `source.path` in any marketplace manifest to be **relative** (starting with `./`) and **inside the marketplace root**. The repo's bundled manifest already satisfies this — the marketplace root is the clone directory, and `mem0-plugin/` lives inside it. With a personal `~/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json`, the root is `~/` and the clone has to live under `~/` too. The CLI form sidesteps that constraint.
+</Info>
+
+**Step 3.** Restart Codex, run `/plugins`, browse the `Mem0 Plugins` marketplace, and install **Mem0**.
+
+**Step 4 (optional) — enable lifecycle hooks.** Codex doesn't auto-wire hooks from plugin manifests; it only reads them from `~/.codex/hooks.json` (or `<repo>/.codex/hooks.json`). Run the bundled installer once to merge the Mem0 entries into your global hooks file:
+
+```bash
+python3 ~/codex-plugins/mem0-source/mem0-plugin/scripts/install_codex_hooks.py
+```
+
+Then enable the hooks feature flag in `~/.codex/config.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[features]
+codex_hooks = true
+```
+
+Restart Codex. The installer registers three hooks pointing at scripts inside your clone:
+
+| Event | Behavior |
+|-------|----------|
+| `SessionStart` | Loads prior memories as bootstrap context |
+| `UserPromptSubmit` | Injects relevant memories before each prompt |
+| `Stop` | Reminds the agent to persist learnings at turn end |
+
+Re-running the installer is idempotent. To remove the hooks: `python3 ~/codex-plugins/mem0-source/mem0-plugin/scripts/install_codex_hooks.py --uninstall`.
+
+<Warning>
+  The hooks file stores absolute paths into your clone (e.g. `~/codex-plugins/mem0-source/mem0-plugin/scripts/...`). If you move or delete the clone, the hooks will break silently — re-run the installer from the new location, or run `--uninstall` first.
+</Warning>
+
+### Managing the Plugin
+
+Codex provides CLI commands for managing marketplaces after install:
+
+```bash
+codex plugin marketplace upgrade               # pull latest plugin versions
+codex plugin marketplace remove mem0-plugins   # unregister the marketplace
+```
+
+To pull updates to the plugin source itself, `git pull` inside your clone (`~/codex-plugins/mem0-source`) and then run `codex plugin marketplace upgrade` to refresh Codex's plugin cache. Plugins are cached at `~/.codex/plugins/cache/<marketplace>/<plugin>/<version>/`.

-No Mem0 key needed. Requires `OPENAI_API_KEY` for default embeddings/LLM.
+No Mem0 key needed. Defaults use OpenAI (`gpt-5-mini` for LLM, `text-embedding-3-small` for embeddings) — requires `OPENAI_API_KEY`. For a fully local setup, use Ollama for both.
+
+#### Option 1: Interactive Wizard (Recommended)
+
+Run the guided 4-step wizard:
+
+```bash
+openclaw mem0 init --mode open-source
+```
+
+The wizard walks you through:
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="LLM provider">
+    Choose OpenAI (`gpt-5-mini`), Ollama (`llama3.1:8b`, fully local), or Anthropic (`claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514`). Provide an API key or base URL as needed.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Embedding provider">
+    Choose OpenAI (`text-embedding-3-small`) or Ollama (`nomic-embed-text`, local). If the same provider was chosen for LLM, the API key and URL are reused automatically.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Vector store">
+    Choose Qdrant (`http://localhost:6333`) or PGVector (PostgreSQL). Connectivity is verified before proceeding.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="User ID">
+    Set your memory namespace identifier.
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+#### Option 2: Non-Interactive Setup
+
+For CI/CD, scripts, or agent-driven setup — pass all options as flags:
+
+```bash
+# Fully local with Ollama + Qdrant
+openclaw mem0 init --mode open-source \
+  --oss-llm ollama --oss-embedder ollama --oss-vector qdrant
+

+  --oss-embedder openai --oss-embedder-key <key> \
+  --oss-vector pgvector --oss-vector-user postgres --oss-vector-password secret
+```
+
+Add `--json` for machine-readable output (useful when an LLM agent is driving the setup).

+</Accordion>
+
+#### Option 3: Manual Config
+
+Minimal config — uses OpenAI defaults:
 
 ```json5

-2. **Dual Memory Scopes** — Session-scoped short-term and user-scoped long-term memories
-3. **Flexible Backend** — Use Mem0 Cloud for managed service or self-host with open-source mode
-4. **Rich Tool Suite** — Five agent tools for explicit memory operations when needed
+### Updating the Plugin
 
-## Conclusion
+```bash
+openclaw plugins update openclaw-mem0
+```
 
-The `@mem0/openclaw-mem0` plugin gives OpenClaw agents persistent memory with minimal setup. Whether using Mem0 Cloud or self-hosting, your agents can now remember user preferences, facts, and context across sessions automatically.
+### Checking Plugin Status
+
+```bash
+openclaw plugins list
+openclaw plugins inspect openclaw-mem0
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "plugins.allow excludes mem0" Error
+
+If you see an error like:
+
+```
+[openclaw] Failed to start CLI: Error: The `openclaw mem0` command is unavailable
+because `plugins.allow` excludes "mem0". Add "mem0" to `plugins.allow` if you want
+that bundled plugin CLI surface.
+```
+
+Add `mem0` to your `plugins.allow` list in `openclaw.json`:
+
+```json5
+{
+  "plugins": {
+    "allow": ["mem0"],
+    "slots": {
+      "memory": "openclaw-mem0"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Plugin Not Activating
+
+If the plugin installs but doesn't work:
+
+1. Verify `plugins.slots.memory` is set to `"openclaw-mem0"` (not the npm package name)
+2. Check `openclaw plugins list --enabled` to confirm the plugin is loaded
+3. Run `openclaw mem0 status` to verify configuration
+
+### Plugin Update Not Working
+
+If `openclaw plugins update` fails:
+
+1. Use the plugin ID: `openclaw plugins update openclaw-mem0`
+2. Update all plugins at once: `openclaw plugins update --all`
+3. If that fails, uninstall and reinstall:
+   ```bash
+   openclaw plugins uninstall openclaw-mem0
+   openclaw plugins install @mem0/openclaw-mem0
+   ```
+
+## Privacy & Security
+
+### Data Flow
+
+| Mode | Where data goes | Storage |
+|------|----------------|---------|
+| **Platform** | Conversations sent to `api.mem0.ai` for extraction and storage | Mem0 cloud |
+| **Open-source** | Embeddings generated via configured provider (default: OpenAI API). Vectors stored locally. | `~/.mem0/vector_store.db` (SQLite) |
+
+### Auto-Capture and Auto-Recall
+
+Auto-capture and auto-recall are **enabled by default**. When skills mode is configured (the default after `openclaw mem0 init`), these are ignored in favor of the skills-based triage/recall/dream protocol.
+
+To disable either:
+
+```json5
+{
+  "plugins": {
+    "entries": {
+      "openclaw-mem0": {
+        "config": {
+          "autoCapture": false,   // disable automatic fact extraction
+          "autoRecall": false     // disable automatic memory injection
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The agent can always use memory tools (`memory_add`, `memory_search`, etc.) explicitly regardless of these settings.
+
+### Credential Protection
+
+The plugin never stores API keys, tokens, or secrets as memories. Five independent layers enforce this:
+
+1. **Triage gate** — The extraction prompt rejects values matching known credential patterns (`sk-`, `m0-`, `ghp_`, `AKIA`, `Bearer`, `password=`, `token=`, `secret=`)
+2. **Dream cleanup** — Periodic memory consolidation deletes any memories that slipped through containing credential patterns
+3. **Extraction instructions** — Default extraction rules explicitly instruct the model to store only that a credential was configured, never the value
+4. **Configurable patterns** — Add custom credential patterns via `skills.triage.credentialPatterns`
+5. **CLI redaction** — `openclaw mem0 config show` redacts sensitive fields (`apiKey`, `oss.*.config.apiKey`)
+
+### API Key Storage
+
+Plugin config is stored in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` with file permissions `0o600` (owner-read-only). For production deployments, use environment variable references (`${MEM0_API_KEY}`) or SecretRef objects instead of plaintext keys.
+
+### Telemetry
+
+Anonymous usage telemetry (PostHog) is enabled by default to help improve the plugin. No conversation content or memory values are included — only event counts (recall, capture, tool usage, CLI commands).
+
+To opt out, set the environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export MEM0_TELEMETRY=false
+```
+
+### System Prompt Context
+
+The plugin injects memory-related instructions into the agent's system context via OpenClaw's `prependSystemContext` mechanism. This includes the memory triage protocol and recalled memories. This is the standard OpenClaw plugin SDK pattern for memory backends — no user-facing prompts are modified.
