modbender OpenClaw Workspace Pro
Enterprise workspace setup for long-running OpenClaw agents.
What It Does
Transforms your OpenClaw workspace with production-ready patterns:
- 🗂 Artifact Workflow - Standardized output structure for reports, code, data, and exports
- 🔒 Secrets Management - Secure .env pattern, removes plaintext credentials
- 🧠 Memory Compaction - Prevents context bloat with systematic archival workflow
- 📦 Long-Running Patterns - Container reuse, checkpoint strategy, continuity protocols
- 🛡 Security Baseline - Network allowlists, safe credential handling
Based on OpenAI's Shell + Skills + Compaction best practices.
Installation
clawhub install openclaw-workspace-pro
Or manual:
cd /data/.openclaw/workspace
git clone https://github.com/Eugene9D/openclaw-workspace-pro.git
cd openclaw-workspace-pro
./install.sh

Usage
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:
- Clear review boundaries
- Easy retrieval
- Version tracking
- Prevents file sprawl
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):
- Review daily logs from past 7-14 days
- Extract key insights → update MEMORY.md
- Remove outdated info
Monthly:
- Archive daily logs >30 days to
memory/archive/YYYY-MM-summary.md - Delete raw files after archival
See MEMORY-COMPACTION.md for full workflow.
Why Use This?
The Problem
Default OpenClaw workspaces:
- ❌ Files scattered everywhere (no structure)
- ❌ API keys in plaintext (security risk)
- ❌ Memory grows indefinitely (context limits)
- ❌ No artifact review boundaries
- ❌ Manual maintenance (prone to drift)
The Solution
Workspace Pro implements OpenAI's recommended patterns:
- ✅ Standardized artifact workflow
- ✅ Secure secrets management
- ✅ Systematic memory compaction
- ✅ Long-running agent patterns
- ✅ Clear operational workflows
Real Impact
Security: Eliminates credential exposure
Organization: Clear deliverable handoff points
Scalability: Handles months of continuous operation
Maintenance: Defined schedules prevent drift
Based on production patterns from:
- OpenAI's long-running agent recommendations
- Glean's enterprise skill deployments
- OpenClaw community best practices
Configuration
Environment Variables (.env)
After installation, populate .env:
# Example: YouTube API
YOUTUBE_API_KEY=your_key_here
YOUTUBE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=your_id_here
# Example: Task Management
VIKUNJA_API_TOKEN=your_token_here
Network Security
Edit TOOLS.md network allowlist:
### Approved Domains
- *.googleapis.com (YouTube API)
- api.brave.com (search)
- tasks.playrockets.com (Vikunja)
Add new domains with security review.
Requirements
- OpenClaw 2026.2.9+
- Workspace directory:
/data/.openclaw/workspace - Shell access (for installation)
Upgrading
cd /data/.openclaw/workspace/openclaw-workspace-pro
git pull
./install.sh
Uninstall
Workspace Pro is non-destructive. To remove:
# Remove added files (safe, preserves your data)
rm -rf artifacts/ memory/archive/
rm .env .gitignore MEMORY-COMPACTION.md
# Restore AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md from backup
cp AGENTS.md.backup AGENTS.md
cp TOOLS.md.backup TOOLS.md
