## What it is
A Lossless Context Management (LCM) plugin for OpenClaw that replaces sliding-window context truncation with a DAG-based summarization system backed by SQLite. It persists every message, condenses older history into hierarchical summaries, and gives agents tools to search and expand compacted context.

## Use cases
- prevent my agent from forgetting earlier conversation details
- keep chat context within token limits without losing messages
- summarize old messages into a searchable history for an LLM agent
- let an agent recall details from compacted conversation history
- migrate existing sessions to lossless context management
- back up and inspect agent conversation databases

## When to choose
- you use OpenClaw and hit context-window truncation in long sessions
- you need agents that can recall arbitrary details from past conversations
- you want persistent, queryable conversation history with summaries

## When to avoid
- you don't use OpenClaw or a compatible agent runtime
- you need a general-purpose memory layer for other frameworks
- you want minimal overhead and don't mind aggressive truncation
