qras

name: qras description: Semantic memory search via QRAS (Qdrant RAG System). Use as PRIMARY method for recalling workspace files, notes, decisions, people, preferences, and prior work. Triggers on any memory recall task before falling back to built-in memory_search.

QRAS - Semantic Memory Search

Local RAG system using Qdrant + Ollama embeddings.

When to Use

Use QRAS as primary method for:

• Recalling past conversations, decisions, or events
• Finding user preferences, birthdays, names, relationships
• Searching workspace notes, documentation, or project files
• Any question about "what did we...", "when did...", "who is..."
• Looking up prior work, todos, or context from memory files

Fallback: If QRAS returns no results or errors, use built-in memory_search.

Quick Start

After installing QRAS and its dependencies, set up qmem:

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace

# Copy qmem wrapper to workspace root (if not already there)
cp qras/openclaw/qmem ./qmem
chmod +x ./qmem

# Create config from template
cp .qmem.conf.example .qmem.conf

# Edit config with your settings
nano .qmem.conf

Config file (.qmem.conf):

# Required
QRAS_DIR=/home/user/.openclaw/workspace/qras
COLLECTION=oc_memory
OLLAMA_HOST=localhost:11434

# Optional (defaults shown)
MIN_SCORE=0.22
LIMIT=3
MAX_CONTENT=600

Test it:

./qmem "test query"

Installation (Full)

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+
• Ollama installed and running
• Qdrant vector database

Setup Steps

1. Clone QRAS to workspace:

   cd ~/.openclaw/workspace
   git clone https://github.com/user/qras.git  # or copy from skill
   

2. Install Python dependencies:

   cd qras
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Start Qdrant (using Docker):

   docker run -d -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 \
       -v $(pwd)/qdrant_storage:/qdrant/storage:z \
       qdrant/qdrant
   

4. Start Ollama and pull embedding model:

   ollama serve  # if not already running
   ollama pull bge-m3:567m
   

5. Make CLI executable:

   chmod +x ./qras
   

6. Set up qmem wrapper (see Quick Start above)

7. Create initial index:

   ./qras index --input-path ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory --collection oc_memory --file-type markdown
   ./qras index --input-path ~/.openclaw/workspace/MEMORY.md --collection oc_memory
   

Commands

Search — Use qmem

# Basic search
./qmem "search query"

# With options
./qmem "search query" --limit 5
./qmem "search query" --collection other_collection

# Help
./qmem --help

Always use qmem for memory recall. It reads config and handles optimal parameters automatically.

Query style: Use natural language / intent-based queries.

• ✅ "when is the user's wife's birthday"
• ✅ "what did we decide about the invoice API"

Direct QRAS Commands (Advanced)

For operations beyond search, use qras directly:

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/qras

# Index single file
./qras index --input-path /path/to/file.md --collection oc_memory

# Delete file from index
./qras index --delete "filename.md" --collection oc_memory

# Full re-index
./qras index --input-path ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory --collection oc_memory --file-type markdown --recreate

Workflow

1. Always use qmem first for memory recall
2. If no results or error → fallback to built-in memory_search
3. Use memory_get to pull specific lines after finding matches
4. After updating any memory file (memory/*.md, MEMORY.md), re-index it:

   cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/qras && ./qras index --input-path /path/to/file.md --collection oc_memory
   

⚠️ Index Scope (STRICT)

ONLY index memory files:

• workspace/memory/*.md — daily logs
• workspace/MEMORY.md — long-term memory

DO NOT index:

• Skills, tools, or other workspace files
• Project documentation outside memory
• Anything not explicitly memory-related

This keeps the collection focused on recall tasks and avoids polluting search results with unrelated content.

Configuration Reference

.qmem.conf Options

Environment Override

You can override config location:

QMEM_CONFIG=/path/to/.qmem.conf ./qmem "query"

Local Config (TOOLS.md)

After setup, add reference to your TOOLS.md:

## QRAS - Memory Search (Primary)

→ See skill: `~/.openclaw/skills/qras/SKILL.md`

### Quick Commands

```bash
# Search — ALWAYS use qmem for memory recall
./qmem "search query"

# Index after updating memory
cd qras && ./qras index --input-path /path/to/file.md --collection oc_memory

## Agent Setup (Important!)

After installing QRAS, **update your `AGENTS.md`** to enforce QRAS-first behavior:

```markdown
### 🔍 Memory Recall Rule

**QRAS first, `memory_search` fallback.** When recalling anything (siapa, kapan, apa), always use the QRAS skill first. Only fall back to built-in `memory_search` if QRAS returns no results or errors.

### ⚠️ Index After Writing Memory

Every time you create/update a memory file (`memory/*.md`, `MEMORY.md`), re-index it:

```bash
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/qras && ./qras index --input-path <path-to-file> --collection oc_memory

This ensures you don't reflexively use built-in `memory_search` when QRAS is available.
