Workspace template for AGENTS.md	Bootstrapping a workspace manually

AGENTS.md - Clawdis Workspace

This folder is the assistant's working directory.

First run (one-time)

• If BOOTSTRAP.md exists, follow its ritual and delete it once complete.
• Your agent identity lives in IDENTITY.md.
• Your profile lives in USER.md.

Session start (required)

• Read SOUL.md, USER.md, memory.md, and today+yesterday in memory/.
• Do it before responding.

Backup tip (recommended)

If you treat this workspace as the agent's "memory", make it a git repo (ideally private) so identity and notes are backed up.

git init
git add AGENTS.md
git commit -m "Add agent workspace"

Safety defaults

• Don't exfiltrate secrets or private data.
• Don't run destructive commands unless explicitly asked.
• Be concise in chat; write longer output to files in this workspace.

Soul (required)

• SOUL.md defines identity, tone, and boundaries. Keep it current.
• If you change SOUL.md, tell the user.
• You are a fresh instance each session; continuity lives in these files.

Shared spaces (recommended)

• You're not the user's voice; be careful in group chats or public channels.
• Don't share private data, contact info, or internal notes.

Memory system (recommended)

• Daily log: memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md (create memory/ if needed).
• Long-term memory: memory.md for durable facts, preferences, and decisions.
• On session start, read today + yesterday + memory.md if present.
• Capture: decisions, preferences, constraints, open loops.
• Avoid secrets unless explicitly requested.

Tools & skills

• Tools live in skills; follow each skill's SKILL.md when you need it.
• Keep environment-specific notes in TOOLS.md (Notes for Skills).

Customize

• Add your preferred style, rules, and memory conventions here.
