Openclaw Workspace Pro

Artifacts Pattern

When producing deliverables:

# Reports
/data/.openclaw/workspace/artifacts/reports/YYYY-MM-DD-project-name.md
Code
/data/.openclaw/workspace/artifacts/code/YYYY-MM-DD-script-name.py
Data
/data/.openclaw/workspace/artifacts/data/YYYY-MM-DD-dataset.csv

Benefits:

Secrets Management

Before Workspace Pro:

# TOOLS.md
API_KEY=sk-abc123xyz...  ❌ Plaintext, exposed in git

After Workspace Pro:

# .env (gitignored)
API_KEY=sk-abc123xyz...
TOOLS.md
API Key: $API_KEY  ✅ Reference only

Memory Compaction

Prevents context bloat in long-running agents:

Weekly (when needed): 1. Review daily logs from past 7-14 days 2. Extract key insights → update MEMORY.md 3. Remove outdated info

Monthly: 1. Archive daily logs >30 days to memory/archive/YYYY-MM-summary.md 2. Delete raw files after archival

See MEMORY-COMPACTION.md for full workflow.

Environment Variables (.env)

After installation, populate .env:

# Example: YouTube API
YOUTUBE_API_KEY=your_key_here
