Do Honcho and memory-wiki work together, and how can I setup?

Yes, they can work together.

Short version:

  • Honcho = the active memory system, cross-session recall + user modeling
  • memory-wiki = a companion layer that compiles memory into a wiki/vault

So memory-wiki does not replace Honcho, it sits beside it.

Basic setup

  1. Install + set up Honcho:
openclaw plugins install @honcho-ai/openclaw-honcho
openclaw honcho setup
  1. Enable memory-wiki in your config (JSON5), usually with bridge mode if you want it to organize Honcho-backed memory:
# 
{
  plugins: {
    entries: {
      "openclaw-honcho": {
        config: {
          apiKey: "your-api-key",
          workspaceId: "openclaw",
          baseUrl: "https://api.honcho.dev",
        },
      },

      "memory-wiki": {
        enabled: true,
        config: {
          vaultMode: "bridge",
# 
          vault: {
            path: "~/.openclaw/wiki/main",
            renderMode: "obsidian",
          },
          bridge: {
            enabled: true,
            readMemoryArtifacts: true,
            followMemoryEvents: true,
            indexDreamReports: true,
            indexDailyNotes: true,
            indexMemoryRoot: true,
          },
          search: {
            backend: "shared",
            corpus: "all",
# 
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
}
  1. Restart the gateway:
openclaw gateway restart
  1. Verify:
# 
openclaw honcho status
openclaw wiki status
openclaw wiki bridge import
openclaw wiki compile

Recommendation

If you just want better memory, start with Honcho only.

Add memory-wiki if you also want:

  • a browsable wiki vault
  • structured claims/provenance
  • dashboards/syntheses
  • Obsidian-friendly output
