Description
Your agent needs a home. Without these files, your agent wakes up every session with amnesia. This template fixes that in 10 minutes. SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, AGE...
Usage Guidance
This is a straightforward workspace template that only adds text files your agent will read and write; it's internally consistent and not asking for credentials or installing code. Before using it: 1) Inspect the files locally (especially HEARTBEAT.md, AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, and UI_GUIDE.md) so you understand what the agent will read and what background tasks you might enable. 2) Be intentional about enabling cron heartbeats and channel/hooks (email, Discord, webhooks) — they allow automatic background activity and outbound communication. 3) Do not enable exec/bash permissions or give broad system privileges unless you understand the risks. 4) Provide API keys only in the OpenClaw config when you trust the deployment and have reviewed access controls. 5) Keep an offline backup of your workspace before letting an agent modify files. If you want to be extra cautious, test the template in an isolated workspace or VM first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-workspace-starter
Version: 1.0.0
The bundle is a comprehensive workspace template designed to help OpenClaw agents maintain state and personality through a structured Markdown-based file system. It contains no executable code or scripts, consisting entirely of documentation, templates (e.g., SOUL.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md), and instructions for the agent to manage its own memory. The bundle includes proactive security guidance, such as explicit warnings in UI_GUIDE.md against enabling high-risk features like '/bash' and instructions in TOOLS.md to avoid storing passwords in plain text. All behaviors, including the 'heartbeat' cron job setup, are transparently documented and aligned with the intended use of the OpenClaw platform.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name/description (workspace starter/template) match the included files and runtime instructions. It only contains documentation and template files (IDENTITY.md, SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, etc.) and asks you to copy them into ~/.openclaw/workspace and follow the bootstrap steps. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or installers are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the bundled files instruct the user to edit identity/personality files and to create cron heartbeats that let the agent run background checks and maintain memory files. The content also documents connecting channels (email/webhooks/Discord/etc.) and mentions operations like searching the web and reading workspace files. These are coherent with a workspace template, but they enable automated agent actions (background heartbeats, channel hooks) that the user should consciously enable and configure.
Install Mechanism
This is instruction-only with no install spec and no code files. Nothing is downloaded or written by the skill itself, so there is low install risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. BOOTSTRAP.md does reference that OpenClaw should already be installed and that an AI provider API key be configured (expected for a working agent). No unrelated secrets are requested by the template.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no skill-level persistent privileges are requested. However, the template explicitly guides setting up cron heartbeats and channel/webhook integrations which grant the agent recurring/background activity and potential outbound connections; enabling those features increases runtime autonomy and should be reviewed in OpenClaw's config/security pages before use.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-workspace-starter - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-workspace-starter - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
