# OpenClaw Session Digest

## Summary
The current OpenClaw setup no longer indexes session transcripts.  The recommended approach is to use n8n to create daily, distilled summaries of sessions (decisions, tasks, follow-ups, durable facts) and store these summaries in the indexed `memory/` directory. This complements the built-in sync which indexes these summaries.  Avoid indexing raw transcripts directly with n8n due to noise and redundancy.

## Decisions
*   Prioritize n8n daily session summaries over raw transcript indexing.
*   Allow built-in sync to index the n8n-generated summaries.

## Active Tasks
*   Implement n8n workflow for daily session summarization.

## Follow-ups
*   None.

## Durable Facts
*   OpenClaw’s built-in sync currently only indexes memory files and extra paths, not session transcripts.
*   Built-in sync indexes memory files on session start, search after changes, and every 30 minutes.
*   Raw transcript indexing via n8n is discouraged due to noise and redundancy.

## Sessions Reviewed
*   webchat - Discussed and agreed upon the strategy for session transcript management: daily summaries via n8n, indexed by built-in sync.
