Feature Request

Problem

When the daily session reset fires at the configured time (e.g. 4am), a brand-new session is created with zero context from the previous session. This creates a jarring "interruption" experience:

1. User has an active conversation with the AI (context, references, ongoing discussions)
2. Session resets → new session starts completely blank
3. User sends a message → AI has no idea what was discussed before
4. User must manually re-explain context, defeating the purpose of a personal AI assistant

Current Behavior

• Daily reset at atHour: 4 creates a clean session
• No mechanism to carry forward recent conversation context
• The only workaround is manually referencing past topics or relying on MEMORY.md (which is manually maintained)

Proposed Solution

On daily session reset, automatically inject a context summary of the previous session into the new session. This could work as:

1. Auto-summary injection: Generate a concise summary of the last N messages (or last N minutes) from the previous session and prepend it as system context in the new session
2. Configurable option: Something like:

"session": {
  "reset": {
    "mode": "daily",
    "atHour": 4,
    "carryContext": {
      "enabled": true,
      "maxMessages": 20,
      "summaryPrompt": "Summarize the recent conversation context for continuity"
    }
  }
}

3. Lightweight alternative: Even just injecting the last 5-10 message titles/topics (not full content) would help the AI understand "we were talking about X"

Why This Matters

• Continuity: Personal AI should feel like an ongoing relationship, not a series of disconnected sessions
• Productivity: Users shouldn't need to re-explain context every morning
• The "interruption" feeling: Even though daily resets are good for context window management, the hard reset feels like the AI "forgot" everything — which breaks trust

Alternatives Considered

• MEMORY.md: Works for explicit notes but misses ongoing discussions and ephemeral context
• Session history API: Users could manually query, but this defeats the "automatic" expectation
• Longer sessions: Just delays the problem; context window still fills up

Environment

• OpenClaw version: 2026.5.12
• Platform: Windows 11
• Session reset config: mode: "daily", atHour: 4

Additional Context

This is a UX improvement request. The daily reset mechanism works correctly — the ask is to make the transition between sessions smoother by preserving conversational continuity.
