Workspace Optimizer

Workspace Optimizer

Comprehensive workspace audit and optimization skill for OpenClaw agents. Identifies issues, suggests improvements, and provides actionable remediation steps.

Quick Reference

Background

Agent workspaces drift over time — stale cron jobs, orphaned memory files, unused skills, bloated context. This skill provides systematic audit and remediation to keep your workspace lean and performant.

Solution

Step-by-Step Audit

1. Core Files Check

# Verify required files exist
$files = @("AGENTS.md","SOUL.md","IDENTITY.md","USER.md","TOOLS.md","MEMORY.md","HEARTBEAT.md")
foreach($f in $files) {
    $path = Join-Path $env:USERPROFILE ".openclaw\workspace\$f"
    if (Test-Path $path) { Write-Host "✅ $f" -ForegroundColor Green }
    else { Write-Host "❌ $f MISSING" -ForegroundColor Red }
}

1. Skill Audit

# List installed skills with status
clawhub list
# Check for updates
clawhub outdated

1. Memory Health

# Check memory directory structure
Get-ChildItem "$env:USERPROFILE\.openclaw\workspace\memory" -Recurse |
    Where-Object { $_.LastWriteTime -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-30) } |
    Select-Object FullName, LastWriteTime, Length

1. Cron Job Audit

# List all cron jobs including disabled
openclaw cron list --include-disabled
# Check for orphaned or failed jobs
openclaw cron list --include-disabled | grep -i "disabled\|failed"

Optimization Recommendations

• Remove unused skills: clawhub uninstall
• Prune old memory files: Archive files older than 30 days
• Disable stale cron jobs: openclaw cron update --enabled false
• Trim MEMORY.md: Keep only active, relevant entries

Common Variations

• Quick Check: Just run core files check + cron audit
• Deep Clean: Full audit + memory pruning + skill cleanup
• Pre-Flight: Run before major workspace changes

Gotchas

• Don't delete daily memory files — archive them instead
• Check cron job run history before disabling
• Some skills have dependencies — check before uninstalling
