Agent Workspace Documentation
Overview
The agent workspace functions as the agent's primary working directory for file operations and contextual memory. It's distinct from ~/.openclaw/, which handles configuration, credentials, and sessions.
Key Points
Location & Configuration
The default workspace resides at ~/.openclaw/workspace. Users can customize this path via the openclaw.json configuration file or by setting the OPENCLAW_PROFILE environment variable.
Important Security Note
The workspace isn't a hard sandbox by default. While tools resolve relative paths within it, absolute paths can access other host directories unless sandboxing is explicitly enabled through agents.defaults.sandbox.
Standard Files The workspace contains several bootstrap files including:
AGENTS.md- operating guidelines and behavioral rulesSOUL.md- persona and boundariesUSER.md- user identification detailsIDENTITY.md- agent name and identity markersmemory/directory - daily logs organized by date
Backup Strategy
Documentation recommends maintaining a private git repository for workspace backup. Critical reminders include:
Even in a private repo, avoid storing secrets in the workspace: API keys, OAuth tokens, passwords, or private credentials.
This protective measure ensures sensitive information remains separate from version control while preserving essential memory structures through regular commits.
