+### Features
+
+- **Event Store**: Add NATS JetStream integration for event-sourced memory. All agent events (messages, tool calls, lifecycle) are persisted and queryable. Configure via `gateway.eventStore`. (#RFC-001) Thanks @alberth, @claudia-keller.
+- **Event Context**: Automatically inject recent event history into session context on startup. Agents now remember recent conversations without manual file management.
+- **Multi-Agent Event Isolation**: Support per-agent event streams with `eventStore.agents` config. Each agent can have isolated credentials and streams.

+# Event Store Integration
+
+OpenClaw can persist all agent events to NATS JetStream, enabling event-sourced memory, audit trails, and multi-agent knowledge sharing.
+
+## Overview
+
+When enabled, every interaction becomes an immutable event:
+- User/assistant messages
+- Tool calls and results
+- Session lifecycle (start/end)
+- Custom events from extensions
+
+Events are stored in NATS JetStream and can be:
+- Queried for context building
+- Replayed for debugging
+- Shared across agents (with isolation)
+- Used for continuous learning
+
+## Configuration
+
+Add to your `config.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+gateway:
+  eventStore:
+    enabled: true
+    url: nats://localhost:4222
+    streamName: openclaw-events
+    subjectPrefix: openclaw.events
+```
+
+### Full Options
+
+```yaml
+gateway:
+  eventStore:
+    enabled: true                          # Enable event publishing
+    url: nats://user:pass@localhost:4222   # NATS connection URL
+    streamName: openclaw-events            # JetStream stream name
+    subjectPrefix: openclaw.events         # Subject prefix for events
+    
+    # Multi-agent configuration (optional)
+    agents:
+      my-agent:
+        url: nats://agent:pass@localhost:4222
+        streamName: events-my-agent
+        subjectPrefix: openclaw.events.my-agent
+```
+
+## Event Types
+
+| Type | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `conversation.message.out` | Messages sent to/from the model |
+| `conversation.tool_call` | Tool invocations |
+| `conversation.tool_result` | Tool results |
+| `lifecycle.start` | Session started |
+| `lifecycle.end` | Session ended |
+
+## Event Schema
+
+```typescript
+interface OpenClawEvent {
+  id: string;           // Unique event ID
+  timestamp: number;    // Unix milliseconds
+  agent: string;        // Agent identifier
+  session: string;      // Session key
+  type: string;         // Event type
+  visibility: string;   // 'internal' | 'public'
+  payload: {
+    runId: string;      // Current run ID
+    stream: string;     // Event stream type
+    data: any;          // Event-specific data
+    sessionKey: string;
+    seq: number;        // Sequence in run
+    ts: number;
+  };
+  meta: {
+    runId: string;
+    seq: number;
+    model?: string;
+    channel?: string;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Context Injection
+
+When event store is enabled, OpenClaw automatically:
+
+1. Queries recent events on session start
+2. Extracts conversation history and topics
+3. Injects context into the system prompt
+
+This gives the agent memory of recent interactions without manual file management.
+
+### Context Format
+
+The injected context includes:
+- Recent conversation snippets (deduplicated)
+- Active topics mentioned
+- Event count and timeframe
+
+## Multi-Agent Isolation
+
+For multi-agent setups, each agent can have its own stream:
+
+```yaml
+gateway:
+  eventStore:
+    enabled: true
+    url: nats://main:password@localhost:4222
+    streamName: openclaw-events
+    subjectPrefix: openclaw.events.main
+    
+    agents:
+      assistant-one:
+        url: nats://assistant1:pass@localhost:4222
+        streamName: events-assistant-one
+        subjectPrefix: openclaw.events.assistant-one
+      assistant-two:
+        url: nats://assistant2:pass@localhost:4222
+        streamName: events-assistant-two
+        subjectPrefix: openclaw.events.assistant-two
+```
+
+Combined with NATS account permissions, this ensures agents can only read their own events.
+
+## NATS Setup
+
+### Quick Start (Docker)
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name nats \
+  -p 4222:4222 \
+  -v nats-data:/data \
+  nats:latest \
+  -js -sd /data
+```
+
+### Create Stream
+
+```bash
+nats stream add openclaw-events \
+  --subjects "openclaw.events.>" \
+  --storage file \
+  --retention limits \
+  --max-age 90d
+```
+
+### Secure Setup (Multi-Agent)
+
+See [NATS Security Documentation](https://docs.nats.io/running-a-nats-service/configuration/securing_nats) for setting up accounts and permissions.
+
+Example secure config:
+```
+accounts {
+  AGENTS: {
+    jetstream: enabled
+    users: [
+      { user: main, password: "xxx", permissions: { publish: [">"], subscribe: [">"] } },
+      { user: agent1, password: "xxx", permissions: { 
+          publish: ["openclaw.events.agent1.>", "$JS.API.>", "_INBOX.>"],
+          subscribe: ["openclaw.events.agent1.>", "_INBOX.>", "$JS.API.>"]
+      }}
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Migration
+
+To migrate existing memory files to the event store:
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+npm install nats
+
+# Run migration
+node scripts/migrate-to-eventstore.mjs
+```
+
+The migration script imports:
+- Daily notes (`memory/*.md`)
+- Long-term memory (`MEMORY.md`)
+- Knowledge graph entries (`life/areas/`)
+
+## Querying Events
+
+### Via NATS CLI
+
+```bash
+# List streams
+nats stream ls
+
+# Get stream info
+nats stream info openclaw-events
+
+# Read recent events
+nats consumer add openclaw-events reader --deliver last --ack none
+nats consumer next openclaw-events reader --count 10
+```
+
+### Programmatically
+
+```typescript
+import { connect, StringCodec } from 'nats';
+
+const nc = await connect({ servers: 'localhost:4222' });
+const js = nc.jetstream();
+const jsm = await nc.jetstreamManager();
+
+// Get last 100 events
+const info = await jsm.streams.info('openclaw-events');
+for (let seq = info.state.last_seq - 100; seq <= info.state.last_seq; seq++) {
+  const msg = await jsm.streams.getMessage('openclaw-events', { seq });
+  const event = JSON.parse(StringCodec().decode(msg.data));
+  console.log(event.type, event.timestamp);
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Retention Policy**: Set appropriate max-age for your use case (default: 90 days)
+2. **Stream per Agent**: Use separate streams for agent isolation
+3. **Backup**: Configure NATS replication or backup JetStream data directory
+4. **Monitoring**: Use NATS monitoring endpoints to track stream health
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Events not appearing
+
+1. Check NATS connection: `nats server ping`
+2. Verify stream exists: `nats stream ls`
+3. Check OpenClaw logs for connection errors
+4. Ensure `eventStore.enabled: true` in config
+
+### Context not loading
+
+1. Verify events exist in stream
+2. Check NATS credentials have read permission
+3. Look for errors in OpenClaw startup logs
+
+### Performance issues
+
+1. Limit event retention with `--max-age`
+2. Use separate streams for high-volume agents
+3. Consider NATS clustering for scale
