openclaw-ops

Operational repo for Ben's OpenClaw workspace.

This repo is the versioned source of truth for:

• custom skills
• scripts and helpers
• cron/automation definitions
• docs and runbooks
• core workspace guidance files

It intentionally does not track volatile runtime state, private memory, auth artifacts, or mailbox data.

What is tracked

• skills/ — custom AgentSkills and helper scripts
• scripts/ — reusable operational scripts
• docs/ — runbooks, architecture notes, integration docs
• cron/ — documented recurring jobs and schedules
• selected workspace guidance files:
  • AGENTS.md
  • SOUL.md
  • USER.md
  • TOOLS.md
  • PROJECTS.md
  • HEARTBEAT.md
  • IDENTITY.md

What is not tracked

• MEMORY.md
• memory/
• state/
• mail/
• runtime/local directories like .openclaw/, .opencode/, tmp/
• generated caches and auth material

Working pattern

Recommended workflow:

1. Make changes in the workspace.
2. Commit small, coherent units of work.
3. Push when the task is complete or the checkpoint is useful.

Default philosophy:

• commit often
• push deliberately
• never commit secrets
• keep operational state out of git unless intentionally templated

Repo conventions

See docs/repo-conventions.md for commit/push guidance and repo hygiene.

Git hygiene

This repo includes a lightweight local pre-commit secret scan. See docs/git-hooks.md for details.

Cron / automation

See cron/README.md for the current recurring-job layout and documentation pattern.
