# Install & Configure: Automated System Health & Memory Metabolism for OpenClaw
## What This Is
This skill acts as an automated cleanup crew for your OpenClaw AI agent. It periodically clears out old, irrelevant memories and performs system health checks to ensure the agent runs efficiently, preventing slowdowns and reducing operational costs.

## Before You Start
Scan my workspace and analyze:
- The project language, framework, and directory structure
- Existing agent configuration (check for .claude/, .codex/, CLAUDE.md, settings.json, commands/, skills/ directories)
Then ask me before proceeding:
1. Where should this skill be installed — project-level (.claude/skills/) or globally?
2. Any customizations needed (trigger conditions, naming, etc.)?
## Fetch the Source
Fetch the raw file content from GitHub:
```bash
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VoltAgent/awesome-openclaw-skills/main/categories/coding-agents-and-ides.md"
```
## What to Implement
This is an **Agent Skill** — an auto-loaded capability defined in a SKILL.md file.
- Read the source repository/file to find the skill definition (SKILL.md or equivalent)
- Place it in the correct skills directory for my agent setup (`.claude/skills/`, or equivalent)
- Ensure the SKILL.md frontmatter is valid and the skill is discoverable
- If the skill requires any dependencies, install them using the project's package manager
## Additional Context
- Install the skill from the OpenClaw Skills Registry by executing the command for 'xiaowenzhou-active-maintenance'.
- After installation, scan the OpenClaw configuration files for new settings related to 'active-maintenance' (e.g., check_interval, memory_threshold) and expose them to the user for customization.
- Enable the 'active-maintenance' skill and add a task to your monitoring dashboard to report on its activities, such as memory cleared and health checks performed, providing logs to the user for verification.
## Guidelines
- Adapt everything to my existing project — do not assume a specific stack or directory layout
- Review any fetched code for safety before installing or executing it
- After setup, run a quick verification and show me a summary of exactly what was installed, where, and how to use it
