release: v5.0.0 — conservative subagent support (parent seed + child recovery)

- Add workspace resolution helpers (isSubagentSession, parseParentAgentId, resolveAgentWorkspace)
- Parent→Child seeding: inject parent CURRENT_STATE.md into subagent context at startup
- Child→Parent recovery: new subagent_ended hook reads child unsurfaced results, merges into parent
- Add subagentSeed and subagentRecovery config keys (both default: true)
- Add /mc subagents command for cross-workspace state overview
- Bump lifecycle plugin to v5.0.0, mc-plugin to v2.1.0

# v3.1 Short-Term Memory Layer Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Add session logging, smart tail protection during compaction, CJK token awareness, and noise filtering to the Memory Continuity plugin.
**Architecture:** Four independent features added to the existing lifecycle hook system. Session logs write to `memory/sessions/YYYY-MM-DD.md` (one file per day, append-only). Tail protection injects recent critical messages into `before_compaction`. CJK token estimation uses a helper function for line-count decisions. Ignore patterns filter out cron/subagent noise at `agent_end`.
**Tech Stack:** Node.js (ES modules), pure filesystem, zero dependencies

---
### Task 1: CJK Token Estimation Helper
**Files:**
- Modify: `index.js` (after line 15, the PLACEHOLDER_VALUES block)
- [ ] **Step 1: Add `estimateTokens` helper function to `index.js`**
Add this after the `PLACEHOLDER_VALUES` constant (line 15):
```javascript
/**
* Estimate token count with CJK awareness.
* CJK characters ≈ 1.5 tokens each; Latin words ≈ 1 token per ~4 chars.
*/
function estimateTokens(text) {
if (!text) return 0;
// Count CJK characters (CJK Unified Ideographs + common CJK ranges)
const cjkCount = (text.match(/[\u4e00-\u9fff\u3400-\u4dbf\uf900-\ufaff\u3000-\u303f\uff00-\uffef]/g) || []).length;
// Remove CJK chars, count remaining as ~1 token per 4 chars
const nonCjk = text.replace(/[\u4e00-\u9fff\u3400-\u4dbf\uf900-\ufaff\u3000-\u303f\uff00-\uffef]/g, "");
const latinTokens = Math.ceil(nonCjk.length / 4);
return Math.ceil(cjkCount * 1.5) + latinTokens;
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Update `truncate` in `extractStateFromMessages` to use token-aware truncation**
In `extractStateFromMessages` (around line 175), replace the existing `truncate` function:
```javascript
// Token-aware truncation
const truncate = (s, maxTokens = 200) => {
if (estimateTokens(s) <= maxTokens) return s;
// Binary search for the right cut point
let lo = 0, hi = s.length;
while (lo < hi) {
const mid = (lo + hi + 1) >> 1;
if (estimateTokens(s.slice(0, mid)) <= maxTokens) lo = mid;
else hi = mid - 1;
}
return s.slice(0, lo) + "...";
};
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify no syntax errors**
Run:
```bash
cd /Users/taodeng/.openclaw/projects/memory-continuity && node -c index.js
```
Expected: no output (syntax OK)
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add index.js
git commit -m "feat: add CJK token-aware estimation helper (v3.1)"
```
---
### Task 2: Ignore Patterns — Filter Cron/Subagent Noise
**Files:**
- Modify: `index.js` (agent_end hook, around line 295)
- Modify: `openclaw.plugin.json` (add `ignorePatterns` config)
- [ ] **Step 1: Add `ignorePatterns` to `openclaw.plugin.json` config schema**
Add after the `maxArchiveCount` property block (after line 29):
```json
"ignorePatterns": {
"type": "array",
"default": [],
"description": "Regex patterns to ignore sessions (e.g. cron jobs, subagent noise). Matched against first user message."
}
```
And add corresponding uiHints after the `maxArchiveCount` hint (after line 47):
```json
"ignorePatterns": {
"label": "Ignore patterns",
"help": "Skip state extraction for sessions matching these patterns (regex)"
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Add ignore-pattern check in `agent_end` hook in `index.js`**
In the `agent_end` hook, after the `realUserMsgs` filtering block (after line 321), add:
```javascript
// Check ignore patterns — skip sessions matching cron/subagent noise
const ignorePatterns = (config.ignorePatterns || [])
.map(p => { try { return new RegExp(p, "i"); } catch { return null; } })
.filter(Boolean);
if (ignorePatterns.length > 0 && realUserMsgs.length > 0) {
const firstMsg = realUserMsgs[0];
if (ignorePatterns.some(re => re.test(firstMsg))) {
log.info?.("[memory-continuity] Session matches ignorePattern, skipping");
return;
}
}
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify no syntax errors**
Run:
```bash
cd /Users/taodeng/.openclaw/projects/memory-continuity && node -c index.js
```
Expected: no output (syntax OK)
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add index.js openclaw.plugin.json
git commit -m "feat: add ignorePatterns to filter cron/subagent noise (v3.1)"
```

### Task 3: Session Logging
**Files:**
- Modify: `index.js` (add `writeSessionLog` helper + call it in `agent_end`)
- [ ] **Step 1: Add `writeSessionLog` helper function to `index.js`**
Add after the `cleanupMemoryDir` function (after line 140):
```javascript
/**
* Append a session summary to the daily session log.
* File: memory/sessions/YYYY-MM-DD.md (one per day, append-only)
*/
function writeSessionLog(workspaceDir, messages, config = {}) {
if (config.sessionLogging === false) return;
if (!messages || messages.length === 0) return;
const now = new Date();
const pad = (n) => String(n).padStart(2, "0");
const dateStr = `${now.getFullYear()}-${pad(now.getMonth() + 1)}-${pad(now.getDate())}`;
const timeStr = `${pad(now.getHours())}:${pad(now.getMinutes())}`;
const sessionsDir = path.join(workspaceDir, "memory", "sessions");
fs.mkdirSync(sessionsDir, { recursive: true });
const logFile = path.join(sessionsDir, `${dateStr}.md`);
// Extract first meaningful user message as topic
let topic = "(no topic)";
for (const msg of messages) {
if (msg?.role !== "user") continue;
const text = typeof msg.content === "string"
? msg.content
: Array.isArray(msg.content)
? msg.content.filter(b => b?.type === "text").map(b => b.text).join("\n")
: "";
const cleaned = text
.replace(/^Conversation info \(untrusted metadata\):[\s\S]*?\n\n/m, "")
.replace(/^Sender \(untrusted metadata\):[\s\S]*?\n\n/m, "")
.trim();
if (cleaned.length > 10) {
topic = cleaned.split("\n")[0].slice(0, 120);
break;
}
}
// Count messages by role
const userCount = messages.filter(m => m?.role === "user").length;
const assistantCount = messages.filter(m => m?.role === "assistant").length;
const totalTokens = estimateTokens(
messages.map(m => typeof m?.content === "string" ? m.content : "").join("")
);
// Build log entry
const entry = [
`### ${timeStr}`,
`- **Topic:** ${topic}`,
`- **Messages:** ${userCount} user / ${assistantCount} assistant`,
`- **Est. tokens:** ~${totalTokens}`,
"",
].join("\n");
// Append to daily log (create with header if new)
if (!fs.existsSync(logFile)) {
const header = `# Session Log — ${dateStr}\n\n`;
fs.writeFileSync(logFile, header + entry, "utf8");
} else {
fs.appendFileSync(logFile, entry, "utf8");
}
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Add `sessionLogging` config to `openclaw.plugin.json`**
Add after the `ignorePatterns` property in the config schema:
```json
"sessionLogging": {
"type": "boolean",
"default": true,
"description": "Write session summaries to memory/sessions/ daily logs"
}
```
And add corresponding uiHints:
```json
"sessionLogging": {
"label": "Session logging",
"help": "Append session summaries to daily markdown logs"
}
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Call `writeSessionLog` from `agent_end` hook**
In the `agent_end` hook, right before the `const existing = readFile(statePath);` line (around line 324), add:
```javascript
// Write session log entry
writeSessionLog(ws, messages, config);
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Verify no syntax errors**
Run:
```bash
cd /Users/taodeng/.openclaw/projects/memory-continuity && node -c index.js
```
Expected: no output (syntax OK)
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add index.js openclaw.plugin.json
git commit -m "feat: add session logging to memory/sessions/ daily files (v3.1)"
```

### Task 4: Smart Tail Protection in `before_compaction`
**Files:**
- Modify: `index.js` (enhance `before_compaction` hook, around line 254)
- Modify: `openclaw.plugin.json` (add `tailProtectCount` config)
- [ ] **Step 1: Add `tailProtectCount` config to `openclaw.plugin.json`**
Add after the `sessionLogging` property in the config schema:
```json
"tailProtectCount": {
"type": "number",
"default": 3,
"description": "Number of recent critical message pairs to protect during compaction"
}
```
And add corresponding uiHints:
```json
"tailProtectCount": {
"label": "Tail protect count",
"help": "Keep N recent user/assistant pairs visible after compaction"
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Add `extractTailMessages` helper to `index.js`**
Add after the `writeSessionLog` function:
```javascript
/**
* Extract the last N meaningful user/assistant exchange pairs from messages.
* Returns a formatted string for injection into compaction context.
*/
function extractTailMessages(messages, count = 3) {
if (!messages || messages.length === 0) return null;
// Walk backwards, collect up to `count` user+assistant pairs
const pairs = [];
let i = messages.length - 1;
while (i >= 0 && pairs.length < count) {
// Find assistant message
while (i >= 0 && messages[i]?.role !== "assistant") i--;
if (i < 0) break;
const assistantMsg = messages[i];
i--;
// Find preceding user message
while (i >= 0 && messages[i]?.role !== "user") i--;
if (i < 0) break;
const userMsg = messages[i];
i--;
const getText = (msg) => {
if (typeof msg?.content === "string") return msg.content;
if (Array.isArray(msg?.content)) {
return msg.content.filter(b => b?.type === "text").map(b => b.text).join("\n");
}
return "";
};
const userText = getText(userMsg).trim();
const assistantText = getText(assistantMsg).trim();
// Skip trivial exchanges
if (userText.length < 10 && assistantText.length < 20) continue;
// Token-aware truncation per message
const maxPerMsg = 150;
const truncMsg = (s) => {
if (estimateTokens(s) <= maxPerMsg) return s;
let lo = 0, hi = s.length;
while (lo < hi) {
const mid = (lo + hi + 1) >> 1;
if (estimateTokens(s.slice(0, mid)) <= maxPerMsg) lo = mid;
else hi = mid - 1;
}
return s.slice(0, lo) + "...";
};
pairs.unshift({ user: truncMsg(userText), assistant: truncMsg(assistantText) });
}
if (pairs.length === 0) return null;
const lines = ["=== RECENT EXCHANGE (protected) ==="];
for (const p of pairs) {
lines.push(`User: ${p.user}`);
lines.push(`Assistant: ${p.assistant}`);
lines.push("---");
}
lines.push("=== END RECENT EXCHANGE ===");
return lines.join("\n");
}
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Enhance `before_compaction` hook to inject tail messages**
Replace the existing `before_compaction` hook body (lines 254-270) with:
```javascript
api.on("before_compaction", async (_event, _ctx) => {
const ws = _ctx?.workspaceDir;
const config = getConfig();
const statePath = resolveStatePath(ws);
if (!statePath) return;
const md = readFile(statePath);
if (!md) return;
const snapshot = buildSnapshot(md);
if (!snapshot) return;
log.info?.("[memory-continuity] Injecting state before compaction");
// Smart tail protection: also inject recent critical messages
const tailCount = config.tailProtectCount ?? 3;
const messages = _event?.messages;
const tail = tailCount > 0 ? extractTailMessages(messages, tailCount) : null;
const parts = [snapshot];
if (tail) {
parts.push(tail);
log.info?.("[memory-continuity] Tail protection: injected recent exchanges");
}
return {
prependSystemContext: parts.join("\n\n"),
};
}, { priority: 10 });
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Verify no syntax errors**
Run:
```bash
cd /Users/taodeng/.openclaw/projects/memory-continuity && node -c index.js

### Task 5: `/mc sessions` Command
**Files:**
- Modify: `mc-plugin/index.js` (add `cmdSessions` function + wire into switch)
- [ ] **Step 1: Add `cmdSessions` handler to `mc-plugin/index.js`**
Add after the `cmdExport` function (before `cmdHelp`, around line 437):
```javascript
function cmdSessions(args) {
const parts = (args || "").trim().split(/\s+/);
const agent = parts.find(p => !p.startsWith("-") && !p.startsWith("2")) || "main";
const dateArg = parts.find(p => /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/.test(p));
const memDir = resolveMemDir(agent);
if (!memDir) return `Agent "${agent}" not found.`;
const sessionsDir = path.join(memDir, "sessions");
let files;
try { files = fs.readdirSync(sessionsDir).filter(f => f.endsWith(".md")).sort().reverse(); }
catch { return `No session logs for "${agent}".`; }
if (!files.length) return `No session logs for "${agent}".`;
// If date specified, show that day's log
if (dateArg) {
const target = `${dateArg}.md`;
const content = readFile(path.join(sessionsDir, target));
if (!content) return `No session log for ${dateArg}.`;
// Truncate to last 50 lines to stay compact
const lines = content.split("\n");
const shown = lines.length > 50 ? lines.slice(-50) : lines;
let out = shown.join("\n");
if (lines.length > 50) out = `... (${lines.length - 50} earlier lines omitted)\n\n` + out;
return out;
}
// List recent session logs
let out = `Session Logs: ${agent} (${files.length} days)\n`;
out += "─────────────────────────────\n";
for (const f of files.slice(0, 14)) {
const date = f.replace(".md", "");
const content = readFile(path.join(sessionsDir, f));
// Count session entries (### HH:MM headers)
const sessionCount = content ? (content.match(/^### \d{2}:\d{2}/gm) || []).length : 0;
out += `${date} ${String(sessionCount).padStart(3)} session(s)\n`;
}
if (files.length > 14) out += `\n ... and ${files.length - 14} more days`;
out += `\n\nUse /mc sessions <YYYY-MM-DD> to view a specific day.`;
return out.trimEnd();
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Wire `sessions` into the command switch**
In the switch statement (around line 471), add a new case before `help`:
```javascript
case "sessions": text = cmdSessions(subargs || null); break;
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Update `cmdHelp` to include `sessions`**
Add this line in the help text after the `/mc state --all` line:
```
/mc sessions [date] Session logs (daily activity)
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Verify no syntax errors**
Run:
```bash
cd /Users/taodeng/.openclaw/projects/memory-continuity && node -c mc-plugin/index.js

# v3.2 Mid-Term Memory Layer Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Add layered markdown summaries (daily/weekly), enhanced cross-source search, and automatic tag extraction to the Memory Continuity plugin.
**Architecture:** Three independent features layered on v3.1's session logging. Daily summaries are generated from session logs at `agent_end` when the day changes. Weekly summaries roll up dailies every Monday. Enhanced search extends the existing `/mc search` to cover sessions + summaries with context lines. Auto-tagging scans session entries for `#tag` patterns and maintains a `memory/tags.md` index. All pure markdown, zero dependencies.
**Tech Stack:** Node.js (ES modules), pure filesystem, zero dependencies

## File Structure
| File | Action | Responsibility |
|------|--------|---------------|
| `index.js` | Modify | Add `generateDailySummary`, `generateWeeklySummary`, call from `agent_end` |
| `openclaw.plugin.json` | Modify | Add `summaryEnabled` config |
| `mc-plugin/index.js` | Modify | Enhance `cmdSearch` to cover sessions+summaries, add `/mc tags` and `/mc summary` commands |

```
Add corresponding uiHints after the `tailProtectCount` hint:
```json
"summaryEnabled": {
"label": "Summary generation",
"help": "Auto-generate daily/weekly summaries from session logs"
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Add `generateDailySummary` helper to `index.js`**
Read `index.js`. Add after the `extractTailMessages` function (ends around line 302), before `extractStateFromMessages`:
```javascript
/**
* Generate a daily summary from the previous day's session log.
* Only runs when today differs from the last summary date.
* Output: memory/summaries/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md

### Task 3: Auto-Tagging — Extract `#tag` from Session Logs
**Files:**
- Modify: `index.js` (add `updateTagIndex` helper + call in `writeSessionLog`)
- [ ] **Step 1: Add `updateTagIndex` helper to `index.js`**
Read `index.js`. Add after the `generateWeeklySummary` function:
```javascript
/**
* Extract #tags from a session topic and update the tag index.
* Tags file: memory/tags.md — simple markdown index mapping tags to dates.
*/
function updateTagIndex(workspaceDir, topic, dateStr) {
if (!topic) return;
// Extract #tags (word chars + hyphens after #)
const tags = topic.match(/#[\w-]+/g);
if (!tags || tags.length === 0) return;
const tagsFile = path.join(workspaceDir, "memory", "tags.md");
let existing = readFile(tagsFile) || "# Tag Index\n\n";
for (const tag of tags) {
const normalizedTag = tag.toLowerCase();
// Check if this tag+date combo already exists
if (existing.includes(`${normalizedTag}`) && existing.includes(dateStr)) continue;
// Find or create tag section
const tagHeader = `## ${normalizedTag}`;
if (existing.includes(tagHeader)) {
// Append date to existing tag section
existing = existing.replace(
tagHeader,
`${tagHeader}\n- ${dateStr}`
);
} else {
// Add new tag section
existing += `${tagHeader}\n- ${dateStr}\n\n`;
}
}
writeFile(tagsFile, existing);
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Call `updateTagIndex` from `writeSessionLog`**
In the `writeSessionLog` function, right after the `fs.appendFileSync(logFile, prefix + entry, "utf8");` line (the last line of the function), add:
```javascript
// Extract and index #tags from the topic
updateTagIndex(workspaceDir, topic, dateStr);
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify no syntax errors**
Run:
```bash
cd /Users/taodeng/.openclaw/projects/memory-continuity && node -c index.js

### Task 4: Enhanced Search — Cross Sessions + Summaries
**Files:**
- Modify: `mc-plugin/index.js` (enhance `cmdSearch`)
- [ ] **Step 1: Enhance `cmdSearch` to search sessions and summaries**
Read `mc-plugin/index.js`. Replace the entire `cmdSearch` function (lines 220-279) with:
```javascript

### Task 5: `/mc tags` and `/mc summary` Commands
**Files:**
- Modify: `mc-plugin/index.js` (add two command handlers + wire switch + update help)
- [ ] **Step 1: Add `cmdTags` handler to `mc-plugin/index.js`**
Read `mc-plugin/index.js`. Add before the `cmdHelp` function:
```javascript
function cmdTags(args) {
const agent = args || "main";
const memDir = resolveMemDir(agent);
if (!memDir) return `Agent "${agent}" not found.`;
const tagsFile = path.join(memDir, "tags.md");
const content = readFile(tagsFile);
if (!content) return `No tags for "${agent}".`;
// Parse tags and their date counts
const tagSections = content.split(/^## /gm).filter(s => s.trim());
if (tagSections.length === 0) return `No tags for "${agent}".`;
let out = `Tags: ${agent} (${tagSections.length} tags)\n`;
out += "─────────────────────────────\n";
const tags = [];
for (const section of tagSections) {
const lines = section.trim().split("\n");
const tag = lines[0].trim();
if (!tag.startsWith("#")) continue;
const dates = lines.filter(l => l.startsWith("- "));
tags.push({ tag, count: dates.length, latest: dates[0]?.replace("- ", "") || "?" });
}
// Sort by count descending
tags.sort((a, b) => b.count - a.count);
for (const { tag, count, latest } of tags.slice(0, 30)) {
out += `${tag.padEnd(25)} ${String(count).padStart(3)} days latest: ${latest}\n`;
}
if (tags.length > 30) out += `\n ... and ${tags.length - 30} more tags`;
return out.trimEnd();
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Add `cmdSummary` handler**
Add after `cmdTags`:
```javascript
function cmdSummary(args) {
const parts = (args || "").trim().split(/\s+/);
const agent = parts.find(p => !p.startsWith("-") && !/^\d{4}/.test(p) && p !== "daily" && p !== "weekly") || "main";
const typeArg = parts.find(p => p === "daily" || p === "weekly");
const dateArg = parts.find(p => /^\d{4}/.test(p));
const memDir = resolveMemDir(agent);
if (!memDir) return `Agent "${agent}" not found.`;
// If specific date given, show that summary
if (dateArg) {
const type = typeArg || (dateArg.includes("W") ? "weekly" : "daily");
const sumFile = path.join(memDir, "summaries", type, `${dateArg}.md`);
const content = readFile(sumFile);
if (!content) return `No ${type} summary for ${dateArg}.`;
return content;
}
// List available summaries
const types = typeArg ? [typeArg] : ["daily", "weekly"];
let out = `Summaries: ${agent}\n`;
out += "─────────────────────────────\n";

out += `\n[${type.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + type.slice(1)}] (${files.length})\n`;
for (const f of files.slice(0, 10)) {
const name = f.replace(".md", "");
const content = readFile(path.join(sumDir, f));
const sessMatch = content?.match(/\*\*(?:Total s|S)essions:\*\*\s*(\d+)/);
const sessions = sessMatch ? sessMatch[1] : "?";
out += ` ${name} ${sessions} session(s)\n`;
}
if (files.length > 10) out += ` ... +${files.length - 10} more\n`;
}
out += `\nUse /mc summary <YYYY-MM-DD> or /mc summary <YYYY-Www> to view details.`;
return out.trimEnd();
}
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Wire `tags` and `summary` into the command switch**
In the switch statement, add before the `help` case:
```javascript
case "tags": text = cmdTags(subargs || null); break;
case "summary": text = cmdSummary(subargs || null); break;
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Update `cmdHelp` to include new commands**
Add these lines after `/mc sessions [date]`:
```
/mc summary [daily|weekly] List or view summaries
/mc tags [agent] View tag index
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Verify no syntax errors**
Run:
```bash
cd /Users/taodeng/.openclaw/projects/memory-continuity && node -c mc-plugin/index.js
```
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add mc-plugin/index.js
git commit -m "feat: add /mc tags and /mc summary commands (v3.2)"
```

# Phase 5 — Conservative Subagent Support (v5.0) Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Enable working-state continuity across parent/child agent boundaries — parent seeds child with structured context, child recovers unsurfaced results back to parent.
**Architecture:** Two new lifecycle hooks added to the existing plugin. (1) Enhance `before_agent_start` to detect forked child sessions and inject the parent's CURRENT_STATE.md as a structured seed. (2) Add a new `subagent_ended` hook that reads the child's workspace CURRENT_STATE.md and merges unsurfaced results into the parent's state. Both features are conservative — they degrade gracefully when context is unavailable and never overwrite parent state destructively.
**Tech Stack:** Node.js ESM, OpenClaw plugin lifecycle hooks (`before_agent_start`, `subagent_ended`), filesystem-based state passing (cross-workspace read), zero external dependencies.
**Research Findings (constraints):**
- `subagent_ended` event provides: `{ targetSessionKey, reason, outcome, error }` and context `{ childSessionKey, requesterSessionKey }`
- No pre-spawn hook exists — parent seeding happens via `before_agent_start` on the child side
- Workspaces are fully isolated — each agent has its own `memory/` directory
- Session key format: `agent:<agentId>:subagent:<uuid>` — parseable to extract `agentId`
- Agent workspace is resolvable via config: `agents.list[].workspace` or default `~/.openclaw/workspace/main`
- `isSubagentSessionKey()` and `parseAgentSessionKey()` are runtime utilities (not available to plugins directly — must parse manually)

## File Structure
| Action | File | Responsibility |
|--------|------|----------------|
| Modify | `index.js` | Add parent-seed logic to `before_agent_start`, add new `subagent_ended` hook, add helper functions |

| Modify | `package.json` | Bump to 5.0.0 |

### Task 1: Add Workspace Resolution Helpers
**Files:**
- Modify: `index.js` (helpers section, before plugin definition)
Two new helper functions are needed: one to detect if the current session is a subagent, and one to resolve a workspace directory from an agent ID.
- [ ] **Step 1: Add `isSubagentSession` helper**
In `index.js`, after the existing `extractStateFromMessages` function (around line 709) and before the `// Plugin Definition` comment, add:
```javascript
/**
* Detect if the current session is a subagent by checking the session key format.
* Subagent session keys follow: agent:<agentId>:subagent:<uuid>
*/
function isSubagentSession(ctx) {
const key = ctx?.sessionKey || ctx?.SessionKey || "";
return /^agent:[^:]+:subagent:/.test(key);
}
/**
* Extract the parent agent ID from a subagent session key.
* Session key format: agent:<parentAgentId>:subagent:<uuid>
* Returns null if not a subagent key.
*/
function parseParentAgentId(sessionKey) {
const match = sessionKey?.match(/^agent:([^:]+):subagent:/);
return match?.[1] || null;
}
/**
* Resolve workspace directory for a given agent ID.
* Searches the OpenClaw config for agent workspace mappings.
* Falls back to ~/.openclaw/workspace/main for the "main" agent,
* or ~/.openclaw/workspaces/<agentId> for named agents.
*/
function resolveAgentWorkspace(agentId) {
if (!agentId) return null;
const base = process.env.OPENCLAW_HOME || path.join(process.env.HOME || "/tmp", ".openclaw");
// Try to read config for explicit workspace mapping
try {
const configPath = path.join(base, "openclaw.json");
const config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(configPath, "utf8"));
const agents = config?.agents?.list || [];
const entry = agents.find(a => a.id === agentId || a.name === agentId);
if (entry?.workspace) return entry.workspace;
// Check defaults
if (agentId === "main") {
return config?.agents?.defaults?.workspace || path.join(base, "workspace", "main");
}
} catch {}
// Fallback heuristics
if (agentId === "main") return path.join(base, "workspace", "main");
// Named agents typically use ~/.openclaw/workspaces/<agentId>
const namedWs = path.join(base, "workspaces", agentId);
if (fs.existsSync(namedWs)) return namedWs;
return null;
}
/**
* Extract the Unsurfaced Results section from a state markdown file.
* Returns the raw text content of the section, or null if empty/placeholder.
*/
function extractUnsurfacedResults(md) {
if (!md) return null;
const section = extractSection(md, "Unsurfaced Results");
if (!section || !isMeaningful(section)) return null;
return section;
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Verify the file still parses**
```bash
cd /Users/taodeng/.openclaw/projects/memory-continuity
node -e "import('./index.js').then(m => console.log('OK:', typeof m.default))"
```
Expected: `OK: object`
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add index.js
git commit -m "feat(subagent): add workspace resolution and session detection helpers"
```

### Task 2: Parent→Child Seeding in before_agent_start
**Files:**
- Modify: `index.js` (HOOK 1: before_agent_start)
When a child agent starts (detected via subagent session key format), read the parent agent's CURRENT_STATE.md and inject it as additional context alongside the child's own state.
- [ ] **Step 1: Enhance the `before_agent_start` hook**
In `index.js`, find HOOK 1 (`before_agent_start`). The current code reads the agent's own state and injects it. After the existing relevance injection block (around the `if (config.relevanceInjection !== false)` block), add parent-seed logic:
Find this existing code block:
```javascript
// Relevance injection: find related historical entries
if (config.relevanceInjection !== false) {
const objective = extractSection(md, "Objective");
const maxItems = config.maxRelevanceItems ?? 3;
const history = findRelevantHistory(ws, objective, maxItems);
if (history) {
parts.push(history);
log.info?.("[memory-continuity] Injected relevant history context");
}
}
```
Right after this block (before the `return` statement), insert:
```javascript
// Parent seed: if this is a subagent, inject parent's working state
if (config.subagentSeed !== false && isSubagentSession(_ctx)) {
try {
const sessionKey = _ctx?.sessionKey || _ctx?.SessionKey || "";
const parentAgentId = parseParentAgentId(sessionKey);
if (parentAgentId) {
const parentWs = resolveAgentWorkspace(parentAgentId);
if (parentWs) {
const parentStatePath = resolveStatePath(parentWs);
const parentMd = parentStatePath ? readFile(parentStatePath) : null;
if (parentMd) {
const parentSnapshot = buildSnapshot(parentMd);
if (parentSnapshot) {
parts.push(
"=== PARENT AGENT CONTEXT ===\n" +
"The following is the parent agent's working state. " +
"Use this to understand the broader task context.\n" +
parentSnapshot +
"\n=== END PARENT CONTEXT ==="
);
log.info?.("[memory-continuity] Injected parent state seed for subagent");
}
}
}
}
} catch (err) {
log.warn?.("[memory-continuity] Parent seed failed (non-fatal): " + err.message);
}
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Verify plugin loads**
```bash
cd /Users/taodeng/.openclaw/projects/memory-continuity
node -e "import('./index.js').then(m => console.log('OK:', typeof m.default))"
```
Expected: `OK: object`
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add index.js
git commit -m "feat(subagent): parent-to-child state seeding in before_agent_start"
```

### Task 3: Child→Parent Recovery via subagent_ended Hook
**Files:**
- Modify: `index.js` (add new HOOK 6: subagent_ended)
When a child agent ends, read its CURRENT_STATE.md and check for unsurfaced results. If found, append them to the parent's state file.
- [ ] **Step 1: Add the `subagent_ended` hook**
In `index.js`, find the section after HOOK 5 (`session_end`) and before the SERVICE section. Add a new hook between them:
```javascript
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
// HOOK 6: subagent_ended — recover child's unsurfaced results
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
api.on("subagent_ended", async (event, _ctx) => {
const config = getConfig();
if (config.subagentRecovery === false) return;
const parentWs = _ctx?.workspaceDir;
if (!parentWs) return;
const childSessionKey = event?.childSessionKey || _ctx?.childSessionKey;
if (!childSessionKey) {
log.info?.("[memory-continuity] subagent_ended: no childSessionKey, skipping");
return;
}
// Only process successful completions (not kills/errors)
const outcome = event?.outcome || "";
const reason = event?.reason || "";
if (outcome === "error" || reason === "killed" || reason === "spawn-failed") {
log.info?.("[memory-continuity] subagent_ended: child ended with " + (reason || outcome) + ", skipping recovery");
return;
}
try {
// Parse child agent ID from session key
const childMatch = childSessionKey.match(/^agent:([^:]+)/);
const childAgentId = childMatch?.[1];
if (!childAgentId) return;
const childWs = resolveAgentWorkspace(childAgentId);
if (!childWs) {
log.info?.("[memory-continuity] subagent_ended: cannot resolve child workspace for " + childAgentId);
return;
}
// Read child's state
const childStatePath = resolveStatePath(childWs);
const childMd = childStatePath ? readFile(childStatePath) : null;
if (!childMd) return;
// Extract unsurfaced results from child
const childUnsurfaced = extractUnsurfacedResults(childMd);
if (!childUnsurfaced) {
log.info?.("[memory-continuity] subagent_ended: no unsurfaced results in child state");
return;
}
// Also extract child's objective for context
const childObjective = extractSection(childMd, "Objective");
// Read parent's current state
const parentStatePath = resolveStatePath(parentWs);
if (!parentStatePath) return;
let parentMd = readFile(parentStatePath);
if (!parentMd) {
parentMd = STATE_TEMPLATE;
}
// Build the recovery note
const now = new Date().toISOString();
const recoveryNote = [
`[${now}] Subagent "${childAgentId}" completed.`,
childObjective ? ` Task: ${childObjective.split("\n")[0].slice(0, 120)}` : "",
` Result: ${childUnsurfaced.split("\n")[0].slice(0, 200)}`,
].filter(Boolean).join("\n");
// Merge into parent's Unsurfaced Results section
const existingUnsurfaced = extractSection(parentMd, "Unsurfaced Results");
const mergedUnsurfaced = isMeaningful(existingUnsurfaced)
? existingUnsurfaced + "\n" + recoveryNote
: recoveryNote;
// Token-aware truncation of merged results
if (estimateTokens(mergedUnsurfaced) > 500) {
// Keep only the most recent entries (last 500 tokens)
const lines = mergedUnsurfaced.split("\n");
let kept = [];
let tokens = 0;
for (let i = lines.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
const lineTokens = estimateTokens(lines[i]);
if (tokens + lineTokens > 500) break;
kept.unshift(lines[i]);
tokens += lineTokens;
}
const truncated = kept.join("\n");
parentMd = parentMd.replace(
/## Unsurfaced Results\n[\s\S]*?(?=\n## |\n$|$)/,
"## Unsurfaced Results\n" + truncated
);
} else {
parentMd = parentMd.replace(
/## Unsurfaced Results\n[\s\S]*?(?=\n## |\n$|$)/,
"## Unsurfaced Results\n" + mergedUnsurfaced
);
}
// Update the timestamp
parentMd = parentMd.replace(
/^> Last updated:.*$/m,
`> Last updated: ${now}`
);
writeFile(parentStatePath, parentMd);
log.info?.("[memory-continuity] Recovered unsurfaced results from subagent " + childAgentId);
} catch (err) {
log.warn?.("[memory-continuity] subagent_ended recovery failed (non-fatal): " + err.message);
}
}, { priority: 50 });
```

### Task 4: New Config Keys + Manifest Bump
**Files:**
- Modify: `openclaw.plugin.json`
- Modify: `package.json`
- [ ] **Step 1: Add subagent config keys to `openclaw.plugin.json`**
Bump version to `5.0.0`. Add two new config properties inside `configSchema.properties`:
```json
"subagentSeed": {
"type": "boolean",
"default": true,
"description": "Inject parent working state into subagent context at startup"
},
"subagentRecovery": {
"type": "boolean",
"default": true,
"description": "Recover unsurfaced results from completed subagents back to parent"
}
```
Add corresponding `uiHints`:
```json
"subagentSeed": {
"label": "Subagent seeding",
"help": "Give subagents parent context so they understand the broader task"
},
"subagentRecovery": {
"label": "Subagent recovery",
"help": "Pull completed subagent results back into parent state"
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Bump `package.json` to 5.0.0**
Change `"version": "4.0.0"` to `"version": "5.0.0"`.
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify JSON validity**
```bash
cd /Users/taodeng/.openclaw/projects/memory-continuity
python3 -m json.tool openclaw.plugin.json > /dev/null && echo "JSON valid"
node -e "import('./index.js').then(m => console.log('OK:', typeof m.default))"
```
Expected:
```
JSON valid
OK: object
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add openclaw.plugin.json package.json
git commit -m "feat(subagent): add subagentSeed and subagentRecovery config keys, bump to v5.0.0"
```

### Task 5: Add `/mc subagents` Command
**Files:**
- Modify: `mc-plugin/index.js`
- Modify: `mc-plugin/package.json`
- Modify: `mc-plugin/openclaw.plugin.json`
Add a new `/mc subagents` command that shows subagent state across workspaces.
- [ ] **Step 1: Add `cmdSubagents` function to mc-plugin**
In `mc-plugin/index.js`, before the `cmdHelp` function, add:
```javascript
function cmdSubagents(args) {
const agents = discoverAgents();
if (agents.length === 0) return "No agents with memory found.";
let out = "Subagent State Overview\n";
out += "═══════════════════════\n\n";
for (const { name, memDir } of agents) {
const statePath = path.join(memDir, "CURRENT_STATE.md");
const content = readFile(statePath);
if (!content) {
out += `[${name}] No state file\n\n`;
continue;
}
const objMatch = content.match(/## Objective\n([\s\S]*?)(?=\n## )/);
const unsurfMatch = content.match(/## Unsurfaced Results\n([\s\S]*?)(?=\n## |$)/);
const updatedMatch = content.match(/^> Last updated:\s*(.+)$/m);
const objective = objMatch?.[1]?.trim() || "None";
const unsurfaced = unsurfMatch?.[1]?.trim() || "None";
const updated = updatedMatch?.[1]?.trim() || "unknown";
out += `[${name}] Updated: ${updated}\n`;
out += ` Objective: ${truncate(objective.split("\n")[0], 80)}\n`;
if (unsurfaced !== "None") {
out += ` Unsurfaced: ${truncate(unsurfaced.split("\n")[0], 80)}\n`;
}
out += "\n";
}
return out.trimEnd();
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Register the command in the switch statement**
Find the `switch (subcmd)` block and add a new case before the `help` case:
```javascript
case "subagents": text = cmdSubagents(subargs || null); break;
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Update help text**
In `cmdHelp`, add:
```
/mc subagents Subagent state overview across workspaces
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Bump mc-plugin versions to 2.1.0**
In `mc-plugin/package.json`, change version to `"2.1.0"`.
In `mc-plugin/openclaw.plugin.json`, change version to `"2.1.0"`.
- [ ] **Step 5: Verify mc-plugin loads**
```bash
cd /Users/taodeng/.openclaw/projects/memory-continuity/mc-plugin
node -e "import('./index.js').then(m => console.log('OK:', typeof m.default))"
```
Expected: `OK: function`
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add mc-plugin/
git commit -m "feat(subagent): add /mc subagents command for cross-workspace state view"
```

### Task 6: Version Verify + Git + Deploy
**Files:** All modified files
- [ ] **Step 1: Verify all versions**
```bash
grep '"version"' openclaw.plugin.json package.json mc-plugin/openclaw.plugin.json mc-plugin/package.json
```
Expected:
```
openclaw.plugin.json: "version": "5.0.0"
package.json: "version": "5.0.0"
mc-plugin/openclaw.plugin.json: "version": "2.1.0"
mc-plugin/package.json: "version": "2.1.0"
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Final commit + tag + push**
```bash
git add -A
git commit -m "release: v5.0.0 — conservative subagent support (parent seed + child recovery)"
git tag v5.0.0
git push origin main --tags
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Deploy to Cloud**
```bash
scp index.js package.json openclaw.plugin.json opc@152.67.121.35:~/.openclaw/extensions/memory-continuity/
scp mc-plugin/index.js mc-plugin/package.json mc-plugin/openclaw.plugin.json opc@152.67.121.35:~/.openclaw/extensions/mc/
ssh opc@152.67.121.35 "pkill -f 'openclaw.*gateway' 2>/dev/null; sleep 2; nohup openclaw gateway start > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Deploy to PI**
```bash
scp index.js package.json openclaw.plugin.json administrator@172.16.2.232:~/.openclaw/extensions/memory-continuity/
scp mc-plugin/index.js mc-plugin/package.json mc-plugin/openclaw.plugin.json administrator@172.16.2.232:~/.openclaw/extensions/mc/
ssh administrator@172.16.2.232 "pkill -f 'openclaw.*gateway' 2>/dev/null; sleep 2; nohup openclaw gateway start > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Deploy to Mac**
```bash
cp index.js package.json openclaw.plugin.json ~/.openclaw/extensions/memory-continuity/
pkill -f 'openclaw.*gateway' 2>/dev/null; sleep 2; nohup openclaw gateway start > /dev/null 2>&1 &
```
- [ ] **Step 6: Verify all 3 servers**
```bash
grep version ~/.openclaw/extensions/memory-continuity/package.json
ssh opc@152.67.121.35 "grep version ~/.openclaw/extensions/memory-continuity/package.json"
ssh administrator@172.16.2.232 "grep version ~/.openclaw/extensions/memory-continuity/package.json"
```
Expected: all show `"version": "5.0.0"`.
