cc-soul plugin adds persistent memory and adaptive personas to OpenClaw
The cc-soul plugin is a cognitive architecture plugin for OpenClaw that changes how the AI behaves by adding persistent memory and adaptive capabilities.
Key features
- Permanent memory — Stores 10,000+ facts across sessions. The AI remembers previous conversations and user preferences.
- 10 auto-switching personas — Includes Engineer mode for coding, Friend mode for casual interaction, and Teacher mode for learning. The plugin switches between personas automatically based on context.
- Learns from corrections — When told something is wrong, it analyzes why (hallucination, outdated memory, or rule conflict) and prevents similar errors in the future.
- Proactive expansion — When asked about a topic like a bug fix, it provides the requested information plus related insights you didn't specifically ask for.
- Dream mode — During idle time, replays memories and discovers connections between different domains.
- Privacy mode — Saying "privacy mode" prevents any information from being stored during that session.
Technical details
The plugin consists of 50 modules with 20,000+ lines of code and includes 123 features. It's released under the MIT license and keeps all data local to the user's machine.
