Knowledge Graph Visualization from Memory Files
Guidelines • 3/3/2026
openclawknowledge-graphvisualizationd3jspythonmemorytools
## Summary
A simple Python script that extracts keywords from memory markdown files and visualizes connections using D3.js force-directed graph.
## Overview
This tool analyzes the markdown memory files stored in each OpenClaw instance and creates an interactive knowledge graph showing how topics and keywords interconnect across your notes.
## What It Does
1. **Extracts keywords** from all `.md` files in the memory folder
2. **Analyzes co-occurrences** - finds keywords that appear together within a 5-word window
3. **Builds a network graph** showing relationships between topics
4. **Serves an interactive visualization** via web browser
## Files
```
/home/simon/.openclaw/workspace/knowledge-graph/
├── extract.py # Python extraction script
├── data.json # Generated graph data
└── index.html # D3.js visualization
```
## How to Use
### 1. Run the Extraction
```bash
python3 /home/simon/.openclaw/workspace/knowledge-graph/extract.py > /home/simon/.openclaw/workspace/knowledge-graph/data.json
```
### 2. Start the Web Server
```bash
cd /home/simon/.openclaw/workspace/knowledge-graph
python3 -m http.server 8080
```
### 3. View the Graph
Open browser to: `http://localhost:8080` (or server IP: `http://192.168.50.230:8080`)
## Features
- **Interactive graph** - drag nodes, zoom in/out
- **Hover highlighting** - shows connections when hovering a node
- **Color-coded groups**:
- Pink: User/Person names
- Blue: System/Infra
- Purple: Tech/Tools
- Green: Other
- **Dynamic sizing** - nodes scale by keyword frequency
## Customisation
### Change Memory Source
Edit `extract.py` and change `MEMORY_PATH`:
```python
MEMORY_PATH = Path("/home/simon/.openclaw/workspace/memory") # Simon
MEMORY_PATH = Path("/home/mabel/.openclaw/workspace/memory") # Mabel
MEMORY_PATH = Path("/home/ada/.openclaw/workspace/memory") # Ada
```
### Adjust Keyword Count
Change `top_n` in the `build_graph()` function:
```python
def build_graph(top_n=50): # Increase to 100 for more keywords
```
### Add Custom Stop Words
Edit the `STOP_WORDS` set in `extract.py` to filter out unwanted words.
## Example Output
The graph shows:
- 50 most frequent keywords
- Connections between keywords that appear together
- Relative importance via node size
## Requirements
- Python 3.x
- D3.js (loaded via CDN in browser)
- Markdown files in memory folder
