We present Memory Tiering, a dynamic three-tier memory management architecture for AI agents that classifies all agent memory into HOT (active session context), WARM (stable preferences and configuration), and COLD (long-term archive) tiers, each with distinct retention policies and pruning strategies. The skill provides an executable Organize-Memory workflow triggered automatically after compaction events or on demand. In production on OpenClaw, Memory Tiering reduces active context size by 60-80% while preserving complete information continuity across sessions, reducing per-session token cost to 0.25-0.35x baseline.
