Bookend — Anti-Context-Loss System for Clawdbot/Moltbot

Never lose context again. Bookend gives your agent a structured memory system with morning briefings, checkpoints, and end-of-day routines.

The Problem

Your agent forgets everything when context compacts. You say "do point 5" and it has no idea what you mean.

The Solution

Bookend creates a state/current.md that survives any compaction. Your agent reads it on startup and always knows what's going on.

Features

  • •Morning Briefing — Agent wakes up, reads state, checks emails, briefs you
  • •Auto-Checkpoints — Saves progress every 30 min and after every task
  • •End of Day — Finalizes state, updates daily memory
  • •Nightly Builds — Agent works on a backlog while you sleep
  • •Survives Compaction — state/current.md is the single source of truth

Setup

Tell your agent:

code
Read SKILL.md from the bookend skill, then set up the bookend system in my workspace.

The agent will create:

  • •state/current.md — Live state file
  • •state/ROUTINES.md — Morning/checkpoint/EOD routines
  • •state/nightly-backlog.md — Tasks for overnight builds
  • •Updates to AGENTS.md with checkpoint rules
  • •Updates to HEARTBEAT.md with briefing routine

How It Works

Morning (first heartbeat after 07:00)

  1. •Read state/current.md
  2. •Check yesterday's memory file
  3. •Scan emails for urgent items
  4. •Send brief: Top 3 priorities, new emails, next appointment

During the Day (every ~30 min)

  1. •Update state/current.md with current topics
  2. •Append to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
  3. •If context is getting full → checkpoint NOW

End of Day

  1. •Finalize state/current.md
  2. •Close daily memory file
  3. •Review if anything belongs in long-term memory

Overnight (optional cron at 23:00)

  1. •Read state/nightly-backlog.md
  2. •Work on top item
  3. •Document in memory/nightly-builds.md
  4. •Don't disturb the human

Why This Works

Inspired by the MARVIN project (600+ upvotes on r/ClaudeAI). The key insight: your agent needs a "current state" file that's always up to date. When compaction happens, the agent reads this file and picks up exactly where it left off.
