|

|
||
No, not right now. I’ll wait till things settle down so we don’t disrupt flows.
|
||
assistant: Makes sense! With competition coming up, no need to disrupt anything.
|
||
|
||
We'll wait until after things settle down. The system is ready — the rules will load on the next session start.

What is the difference between reset and new?
|
||
assistant: Great question! Let me check the docs or search for this:
|
||
assistant: The user is asking about the difference between /reset and /new commands. These are likely OpenClaw commands. Let me search the OpenClaw documentation or check if there's a help command.
|
||
assistant: The user is asking about the difference between /reset and /new commands in the context of the chatbot. These are slash commands in Discord. Let me think about what these likely do based on what I've seen in the system:
|
||
|
||
1. /reset - This likely resets the current session, clearing the conversation history but keeping the agent running
|
||
2. /new - This likely starts a completely new conversation/session
|
||
|
||
From what I've observed in the system:- /reset seems to start a fresh session but keep the same context of the agent- /new might create a new session entirely
|
||
|
||
Let me check if there's more documentation or if I can find more info about these commands.
|
||
assistant: Based on what I've seen in the system:
|
||
|
||
**/reset**
|
||
- Resets the current session
|
||
- Starts fresh — clears conversation history
|
||
- Reloads startup files (memory, self-improving, etc.)
|
||
- Keeps the agent running
|
||
|
||
**/new**
|
||
- Similar to /reset — starts a new session
|
||
- Might also create a fresh context
|
||
|
||
Honestly, they're very similar in practice — both start a fresh session and reload the startup files. The exact technical difference isn't 100% clear to me from the docs.
|
||
|
||
**What matters for us:**
|
||
- Either triggers the **startup sequence** (read memory files)
|
||
- Rules load at startup → applies to that new session
|
||
|
||
You use either one to get a fresh start. 🦅

"message_id": "1483202817132069056",
|

|
||
"sender": "Mr.Slater",
|
||
"timestamp": "Mon 2026-03-16 16:38 EDT"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Sender (untrusted metadata):
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"label": "Mr.Slater (266336985692635139)",
|
||
"id": "266336985692635139",
|
||
"name": "Mr.Slater",

|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
When chat bot restarted it spewed all kinds of stuff “The user wants me to execute the Session Startup sequence. This means:
|
||
1. Read required files before responding
|
||
2. Then greet the user in my configured persona
|
||
3. Keep it 1-3 sentences and ask what they want to do
|
||
4. If runtime model differs from default_model, mention the default model
|
||
|
||
The runtime shows: model=ollama/minimax-m2.5 | default_model=ollama/minimax-m2.5
|
||
|
||
So they are the same - no need to mention.
|
||
|
||
Let me read the required files:
|
||
- self-improving/memory.md (for execution quality)
|
||
- memory/2026-03-16.md (today's memory)
|
||
- Check for any chat bot rules
|
||
|
||
Let me read those files now.
|
||
|
||
The self-improving/memory.md file is loaded. Now let me read the chatbot rules as required and today's memory file.
|
||
|
||
According to the rules:
|
||
- "Load at: Guild channel session startup (mentor mode)" ← REQUIRED
|
||
- Store in: `memory/private/chatbot-rules.md`
|
||
|
||
So I need to read that file at startup. Let me read it now.
|
||
|
||
Now I need to read today's memory file (2026-03-16.md) to get context on what's been happening today.”
|
||
|
||
can we limit this? Less internal monologue ?
|
||
assistant: Yes! That's the **info-vomiting** we fixed earlier — but it's still happening. Let me make it stricter:
|
||
assistant: **Fixed!** ✅
|
||
|
||
Updated the rule to be crystal clear:
|
||
- **NEVER output internal monologue to user**
|
||
- No "Let me read...", no startup steps, nothing
|
||
- Just respond naturally like a normal bot
|
||
|
||
Saved to today's memory. That should stop the info-vomiting. Anything else? 🦅

Save
|
||
assistant: The user wants me to save the session updates to memory.
|
||
assistant: Now let me update the long-term MEMORY.md:
|
||
assistant: **Saved!** ✅
|
||
|
||
- `memory/2026-03-16.md` — today's session
|
||
- `MEMORY.md` — long-term
|
||
|
||
Including:
|
||
- New session rule: Never output internal monologue
|
||
- Fixed info-vomiting

I wanna add something to the update script that we wrote for the Chatbot earlier. I wanted to save its current memories first and then go read the folder.
