What it does

Openclaw Workspace is an agent skill from win4r/openclaw-workspace. Use when maintaining or optimizing OpenClaw workspace files — AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, IDENTITY.md, HEARTBEAT.md, BOOT.md, MEMORY.md, and related checklists and memory files. Covers workspace auditing, token budget analysis, new agent workspace setup from scratch, memory distillation, and cross-file consistency reviews.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `README_CN.md` and `references/optimization-guide.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering LLM cost and token optimization and Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skill for maintaining and optimizing OpenClaw workspace files (AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, MEMORY.md, checklists).

When your agent uses it

  • Optimizing OpenClaw workspace files — AGENTS.md
  • Related checklists and memory files

Example prompts

  • “/openclaw-workspace”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read all active files — AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, USER.md, IDENTITY.md, HEARTBEAT.md, BOOT.md, MEMORY.md
  2. Check character counts
  3. Flag files over 10,000 chars — prime candidates for trimming or offloading to docs/
  4. Check for redundancy — same fact in SOUL.md and AGENTS.md? Same tool note in TOOLS.md and MEMORY.md?
  5. Check for staleness — outdated SSH hosts, old tool names, deprecated rules, historical context that's no longer needed
  6. Check MEMORY.md discipline — should contain curated facts, lessons learned, decisions, and critical rules — not raw session summaries or…
  7. Propose targeted edits — trim, move to docs/, or restructure

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e81a91. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown and bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Openclaw Workspace loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,063 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,063 words (~2,429 tokens).

“OpenClaw workspace files form the agent's "soul and memory" — they are injected into the system prompt on every turn (or on relevant turns), giving the agent its identity, behavioral rules, environmental knowledge, and long-term memory. Managing these files well…”
