dream-cycle（梦想循环）

Dream Cycle Skill

Based on Ray Fernando's dream cycle concept for OpenClaw memory management.

Overview

The dream cycle is a nightly process where the agent:

1. Dreams (2-4 AM): Reviews memories, connects dots, prunes bloat
2. Briefs (7-8 AM): Delivers a morning summary to the user

This keeps Tier 1 memory lightweight while maintaining searchability via QMD.

Three-Tier Memory System

Goal: Keep AGENTS.md under 2,000 bytes, MEMORY.md under 1,500 bytes.
