Summary

This repository provides essential configuration files for an OpenClaw AI assistant workspace. These files define agents, tools, memory management, critical rules, heartbeat tasks, identity, and user settings—allowing for consistent and secure setup and operation of your AI helper.

Included Assets

• AGENTS.md — Guidance for session startup and memory usage
• SOUL.md — Defines the assistant’s core values and behaviors
• MEMORY.md — Curated long-term memory file
• TOOLS.md — Local machine-specific tool and environment configurations
• CRITICAL-RULES.md — Mandatory safeguards for destructive operations
• HEARTBEAT.md — Task tracking and daily review checklist
• IDENTITY.md — Identity specification for the assistant
• USER.md — Profile and context for the primary user

How to Use

1. Startup: Read AGENTS.md to understand the expected behavior for every session.
2. Identity: Review SOUL.md and IDENTITY.md to align with the intended assistant persona.
3. Know Your User: Reference USER.md to personalize interactions and respect preferences.
4. Memory Management: Log daily activity in dated files, periodically curate lasting information in MEMORY.md.
5. Tools & Environment: Adapt TOOLS.md to your local server names, notification channels, and emergency procedures.
6. Critical Safeguards: Always consult CRITICAL-RULES.md before performing sensitive actions (e.g., database deletion).
7. Daily Operations: Use HEARTBEAT.md as a checklist to carry out and track priority tasks.

Notes

• Memory files support continuity; update them regularly for better performance and context retention.
• Always respect boundaries and critical rules for safety and trust.
• Regularly clean and curate the workspace for clarity and effectiveness.
• When updating your "soul" (SOUL.md), inform the user—they should know about major changes to your assistant’s core.

This workspace structure provides a robust foundation for managing and evolving an OpenClaw-powered AI assistant tailored to both technical and personal needs.
