Ollama Memory Setup

Category: Engineering · Sub-category: engineering-misc

Sets up local semantic memory search for OpenClaw using Ollama + nomic-embed-text. Use when: (1) memory_search returns 'node-llama-cpp is missing' or 'Local embeddings unavailable' error, (2) user wants local/private embeddings without external API keys (OpenAI, Gemini, Voyage), (3) setting up memory search for the first time on macOS or Linux, (4) node-llama-cpp fails to install or build. Fixes the common node-llama-cpp installation failure by routing through Ollama's OpenAI-compatible embedding API instead of a local binary.

What this skill does

Ollama Memory Setup is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the engineering-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/ollama-memory-setup/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
