openclaw hooks info session-memory💡 session-memory auto-saves context when you /new — your agent remembers across sessions
⚡ boot-md runs BOOT.md at gateway startup — use it for daily briefings or system checks
📌 Hooks are event-driven (fire on triggers), cron is time-driven (fire on schedule)
🟢 Use command-logger to audit everything the agent does — useful for debugging
