Inferred Commitments: Status and Cleanup for Retired Feature

Learn about the retirement of inferred commitments in OpenClaw, how to inspect or delete remaining records, and find alternatives like scheduled tasks and memory.

Read this when

You are upgrading a configuration that used inferred commitments
You want to inspect or dismiss previously stored follow-up records

The inferred commitments feature has been retired. OpenClaw no longer generates new conversation follow-ups or sends them via heartbeat, and the commitments configuration block has been removed by openclaw doctor --fix.

For exact reminders and scheduled work, use scheduled tasks. Store durable conversational facts in memory.

Existing records

Any commitments that were stored before the change remain in the shared SQLite state database, so an upgrade won't erase operator-visible history. To inspect or delete those rows, use the legacy maintenance CLI:

openclaw commitments --all
openclaw commitments dismiss cm_abc123

Refer to openclaw commitments for the maintenance command documentation.
