This skill addresses the critical need for managing and optimizing the configuration files (workspace) of OpenClaw AI agents. It targets users of the OpenClaw self-hosted AI agent gateway, providing automated assistance to maintain agent identity, memory, and operational procedures, thereby enhancing efficiency and preventing common pitfalls like token waste and data leakage.

How It Works

The openclaw-workspace skill integrates with Claude Code, offering five primary workflows. It audits existing workspace markdown files (AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, etc.) for token efficiency, redundancy, and staleness. It assists in setting up new workspaces by creating files in the correct order and configuring essential elements like boot sequences and security gates. The skill also automates memory distillation, processing daily logs into a curated MEMORY.md, and helps manage operational checklists and environment-specific tool configurations.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Primary install / run command: Clone the repository into your Claude Code skills directory:

  git clone https://github.com/win4r/openclaw-workspace ~/.claude/skills/openclaw-workspace
  

• Non-default prerequisites and dependencies: Requires a Claude Code environment.
• Links: OpenClaw Gateway (implied repository), OpenClaw skill (related skill).

Highlighted Details

• Manages a comprehensive set of OpenClaw workspace files, including AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, MEMORY.md, and others, each with specific roles.
• Enforces token budget constraints, with a hard cap of 20,000 characters per file and a recommended target of 10,000–15,000 characters.
• Automates security measures, such as ensuring MEMORY.md is restricted to main sessions and not leaked into group chats via explicit gating in AGENTS.md.
• Supports workflows for creating new workspaces, distilling memory logs, adding operational checklists, and updating tool configurations.

Maintenance & Community

The project provides links for community support via WeChat (group and QR code) and a "Buy Me a Coffee" option.

Licensing & Compatibility

• License type: MIT License.
• Compatibility notes: The MIT license generally permits commercial use and integration into closed-source projects without significant restrictions.

Limitations & Caveats

Files exceeding the 20,000-character token limit require manual content management, potentially by moving less critical information to on-demand documentation files. Changes to workspace files necessitate starting a new session or restarting the OpenClaw gateway to take effect. The security of sensitive memory (MEMORY.md) relies on correct configuration within AGENTS.md.
