openclaw 7 core workspace files | context amnesia

OpenClaw 7 defines an agent's identity, behavior, memory, and user context through 7 core workspace files. These files form the foundational architecture for agent configuration and operation. The system enables agents to maintain context awareness while managing memory and behavioral patterns effectively.

Key Points

• •7 core workspace files define complete agent identity and operational parameters
• •Agent identity configuration determines how the agent presents itself and interacts
• •Behavior files control agent decision-making and response patterns
• •Memory management files handle context retention and information persistence
• •User context files maintain awareness of user preferences and interaction history
• •Workspace files work together to prevent context amnesia in agent interactions
• •Proper file organization enables scalable and maintainable agent systems
• •Each file serves a specific purpose in the agent's operational lifecycle
