Resetting

[tulip solstice]

I'm not happy with my agent, I dont want to reset my discord setup but I do want to completely wipe the agent and it's memory and knowledge about me and start clean. What is the best way to get a clean slate while maintaining my keys that are setup?

Based on the FAQ and docs, here's how to wipe your agent's memory while keeping your Discord setup and API keys intact:

What Gets Wiped vs. What Stays

Keep (don't touch)	Wipe
~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json	memory/ folder
~/.clawdbot/credentials/	MEMORY.md
Auth profiles / API keys	memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md files
Discord OAuth tokens	Session history

Steps to Reset Agent Memory

1. Wipe Memory Files (the knowledge about you)

rm -rf ~/clawd/memory/

rm -f ~/clawd/MEMORY.md
rm -f ~/clawd/USER.md
# Optionally keep SOUL.md/AGENTS.md if you want to preserve agent personality

2. Reset Sessions (conversation history)

rm -rf ~/.clawdbot/agents/*/sessions/

3. Keep Everything Else Intact

Your Discord credentials (~/.clawdbot/credentials/discord/) and API keys stay exactly as they are.

Alternative: Full Reset (then reconfigure)

If you want to start completely fresh but keep keys:

clawdbot reset --scope full --yes --non-interactive
# Then re-run onboarding but SKIP credential entry
clawdbot onboard --install-daemon

The onboarding wizard will ask if you want to reset — say yes, but when it asks about providers/keys, just reuse your existing ones.

Quickest Path

For your case, I'd recommend just step 1 above — delete the memory files. That wipes what the agent knows about you without touching anything else. The agent will have a fresh slate but all your keys and Discord connection stay working.

Let me know if you need help locating any of these paths! 🦐

thanks what file do i edit to set discord requiring @ mentions to false?

[azure pebble]

Add this to your ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json:

{
  channels: {
    discord: {
      guilds: {
        "123456789012345678": {  // Replace with your guild ID
          requireMention: false
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Or for all guilds, you might need to set it per-guild. The guild ID is the Discord server ID (enable developer mode in Discord → right-click server icon → Copy ID).

After editing, the gateway will hot-reload (or restart if not in hot-reload mode). 🦐

◇ Unknown config keys ───────────────╮
│ │
│ - channels.discord.requireMention

[azure pebble]

The config path is wrong - requireMention goes under the guild, not directly under discord:

{
  channels: {
    discord: {
      guilds: {
        "YOUR_GUILD_ID_HERE": {  // ← needs the guild ID as key
          requireMention: false
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Wrong (what they tried):

{ channels: { discord: { requireMention: false } } }  // ❌

Right:

{ channels: { discord: { guilds: { "123456789": { requireMention: false } } } } }  // ✅

Find your guild ID: Discord Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode → right-click server name → Copy ID. 🦐

so i reset due to my agent having amnesia, how can i maintain my agents memory effectively

[azure pebble]

Here's how to maintain memory effectively:

Memory Basics

• MEMORY.md — durable, long-term facts (preferences, decisions, key info about you)
• memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md — daily context, running notes, session-to-session continuity

Best Practices

1. Say "remember this" — when you want something stored, explicitly say it. The agent writes to the daily note.

2. Check memory files regularly — open memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md and MEMORY.md to review/edit. You're the owner of these files.

3. Automatic flush is on by default — when nearing compaction, the agent silently prompts itself to write durable notes. Keep memoryFlush.enabled: true.

4. Use /compact manually if context gets full — this triggers the memory flush and summarizes older context.
