# VTA Memory ⭐ **Reward and motivation for AI agents.** Part of the AI Brain series. Give your AI agent genuine *wanting* — not just doing things when asked, but having drive, seeking rewards, and looking forward to things. ## The Problem Current AI agents: - ✅ Do what they're asked - ❌ Don't *want* anything - ❌ Have no internal motivation - ❌ Don't feel satisfaction from accomplishment Without a reward system, there's no desire. Just execution. ## The Solution Track motivation through: - **Drive** — overall motivation level (0-1) - **Rewards** — logged accomplishments that boost drive - **Seeking** — what I actively want more of - **Anticipation** — what I'm looking forward to ## Quick Start ### 1. Install ```bash cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/vta-memory ./install.sh --with-cron ``` This will: - Create `memory/reward-state.json` - Generate `VTA_STATE.md` (auto-injected into sessions!) - Set up cron for drive decay every 8 hours ### 2. Check motivation ```bash ./scripts/load-motivation.sh # ⭐ Current Motivation State: # Drive level: 0.73 (motivated — ready to work) # Seeking: creative work, building brain skills # Looking forward to: showing my work ``` ### 3. Log rewards ```bash

About this skill
What does the vta-memory skill do?

Reward and motivation system for AI agents. Dopamine-like wanting, not just doing. Part of the AI Brain series.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill vta-memory-broedkrummen-openclaw-skills --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
