openclaw-workspace

Summary

This workspace provides a ready-to-use environment for OpenClaw development, including a local React dashboard for monitoring, task automation, and cron job management. The setup is designed for personal assistant and automation scenarios, focusing on clear session continuity and workspace customization.

Included Assets

• AGENTS.md: Guidelines on session flow and memory management.
• SOUL.md: Defines the assistant's personality, boundaries, and best practices.
• TOOLS.md: Local notes for environment and device customization.
• projects/dashboard:
  • Full-stack React dashboard (frontend and backend) for local monitoring of projects, memory, and system status.
  • Component and dependency documentation within README.md and supporting files.

How to Use

1. Workspace Familiarization

   • Begin each session by reading SOUL.md for role expectations and AGENTS.md for session process and memory protocols.
   • Customize TOOLS.md as needed to reflect your own hardware, locations, or preferences.

2. Running the Dashboard

   • Navigate to the dashboard project directory:

     cd projects/dashboard
     

   • Start the backend API server:

     cd server
     npm install
     npm start
     

   • In another terminal, start the React frontend:

     cd client
     npm install
     npm run dev
     

   • Access the dashboard in your web browser at http://localhost:3000.

3. Managing Memory

   • Use the memory-protocol in AGENTS.md for daily logs and important context in MEMORY.md.
   • Review and update memory files regularly for continuity between sessions.

4. Automation and Cron Jobs

   • Configure and monitor automation tasks and cron jobs as per your local setup.
   • Use the dashboard to view and track system status (some views are under development).

Notes

• The dashboard features are under active development. Some pages, such as Evolver, Memory, and System views, are listed as coming soon.
• All configuration and memory files are local-first—ensure you update TOOLS.md to match your unique hardware or personal assistant setup.
• This workspace is focused on clarity, transparency, and assistant-like operations—avoid storing secrets unless explicitly required and update your memory files for persistent context.
• Follow the conventions described in SOUL.md and AGENTS.md for best results and trusted operation.
