README

openclaw-workspace

A [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/claude-code) skill for maintaining and optimizing [OpenClaw](https://openclaw.ai) workspace files — the markdown files that form an AI agent's soul, memory, and operating procedures.

[中文文档 →](README_CN.md)

What is this?

OpenClaw is a self-hosted, multi-channel AI agent gateway (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and more). Every OpenClaw agent has a **workspace** — a directory of markdown files that are injected into the system prompt on each turn, giving the agent its identity, behavioral rules, environmental knowledge, and long-term memory.

These workspace files are powerful but require careful management:

Too much content wastes tokens on every single turn
Redundancy between files creates confusion and contradictions
Stale content (old SSH hosts, deprecated rules, finished tasks) silently degrades agent quality
Missing security gates can leak private memory into group chats

This skill gives Claude Code the knowledge to audit, optimize, and build OpenClaw workspace files correctly.
