/install talonforge-workspace-hygiene
Description
Automatically enforces workspace file size limits, archives stale or bloated files, and organizes root contents to maintain efficient AI agent context.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to implement a workspace cleaner and archives many files locally (no network exfiltration). Before installing: (1) back up your workspace (AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, STATE.md, etc.) because the script can truncate/trim files and will delete empty files; (2) review and test the included workspace-hygiene.sh in a sandbox or copy it to a non-production workspace to verify behavior and portability (stat/date flags may be platform-dependent); (3) confirm the hard-coded WORKSPACE path (/root/.openclaw/workspace) matches where your agent stores data or modify it to your environment; (4) note mismatches between SKILL.md and the script (the script does delete empty files and does not move .secrets), so ask the author to reconcile or adjust the script if you require stricter 'never delete' guarantees; and (5) if sensitive secrets or unique files reside under the workspace root, ensure they are excluded or moved before enabling automatic runs.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: talonforge-workspace-hygiene
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is a maintenance utility designed to optimize LLM context usage by enforcing file size limits and archiving stale data within the OpenClaw workspace. The shell script (workspace-hygiene.sh) and instructions (SKILL.md) perform transparent file management tasks, such as trimming logs, moving media files to an archive directory, and consolidating daily notes, with no evidence of network exfiltration, credential theft, or unauthorized execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the provided script: it trims large markdown boot files, archives stale files, and moves media/package files out of the workspace root. The requested resources (none) are proportional to this purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains rules and triggers that partly do not match the script: SKILL.md promises 'Never delete, always archive', yet the script deletes empty files; SKILL.md mandates '.secrets' be moved to talonforge/.secrets/, but the script does not touch .secrets; SKILL.md mentions auto-trigger behavior (after sessions that create 10+ files) but the script has no event-driven mechanism. These discrepancies could lead to unexpected outcomes.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only), which is low-risk. However, the skill includes a runnable shell script in the package that will be executed by the agent if invoked — the script operates on the filesystem but does not fetch external code or contact networks.
Credentials
No environment variables or external credentials are requested. The script operates on a single workspace path (/root/.openclaw/workspace) which is consistent with a workspace hygiene tool, but this absolute path may behave differently depending on the agent runtime and privileges.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not 'always: true' and is user-invocable; it does not request persistent elevated privileges or modify other skills' configs. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default but not a unique risk here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install talonforge-workspace-hygiene - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/talonforge-workspace-hygiene - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
