Workspace Optimizer

Audit, optimize, and maintain your OpenClaw agent workspace. Use when workspace needs health check, skill audit, memory cleanup, or performance tuning.

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

Quick Reference

Situation	Action
Workspace health check	Run full audit
Skill audit	Check installed vs available skills
Memory bloat	Cleanup and prune old files
Performance tuning	Optimize cron jobs and heartbeats

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

powershell

# 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 }
}

2. Skill Audit

bash

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clawhub outdated

3. Memory Health

powershell

# 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

4. Cron Job Audit

bash

# 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 <skill-name>
• Prune old memory files: Archive files older than 30 days
• Disable stale cron jobs: openclaw cron update <jobId> --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
