openclaw-chief-template

Turn your OpenClaw workspace into a practical chief-of-staff / operator system.

This is a sanitized starter kit inspired by a real production setup, but stripped of:

• secrets
• personal memory
• private projects
• tokens, account IDs, internal URLs

What you get

• AGENTS.md with startup and memory rules
• SOUL.md for tone and operating style
• USER.md.example to define who the assistant is helping
• GOALS.md.example to define strategic direction
• PRIORITY_MAP.md for weekly focus
• AUTO_RESOLVER.md for autonomy boundaries
• HEARTBEAT.md for recurring operational checks
• TASKS_DONE.md for completed-task archive
• memory/ scaffold with indexes
• docs/ with setup notes

Philosophy

This repo is not trying to be generic enterprise sludge. It is meant to be:

• opinionated
• lightweight
• file-based
• easy to adapt
• useful on day 1

cash-flow priorities, memory discipline, and recurring operational loops beat fancy agent theater.

Install

• Clone this repo somewhere local.
• Copy the template files into your OpenClaw workspace.
• Replace placeholders in:
• USER.md.example
• GOALS.md.example
• TOOLS.md.example
• HEARTBEAT.md
• Rename the .example files you want to activate.
• Review AUTO_RESOLVER.md before letting the assistant act freely.
