Per-session task list and notes for OpenClaw agents.

When OpenClaw compresses old conversation turns, your agent loses track of what it was doing — tasks, decisions, notes from earlier in the session get summarized away or lost.

PawPad stores a structured task list and freeform notes on disk, outside the context window. Before every agent turn, it injects them into the system prompt. The agent sees its full task list and notes on every turn, no matter how much context has been compacted.

Data is isolated per session. Starting a new session (/new or /reset) gives you a clean slate.

openclaw plugins install openclaw-pawpad

Restart OpenClaw. That's it.

Optional. Most people won't need to change these.

// ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "openclaw-pawpad": {
        "config": {
          "warnCompletedTasks": 30,  // soft warning threshold
          "warnNoteChars": 10000     // soft warning threshold
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Warnings are advisory. Nothing gets blocked or truncated.
