๐ง OpenClaw's built-in memory files
Every OpenClaw workspace comes with files that give the AI continuity and personality:
๐ HEARTBEAT.md โ Background tasks. Put a checklist here, it runs it on a timer.
๐ IDENTITY.md โ "Who am I?" Sets name, emoji, vibe.
๐ SOUL.md โ "How do I behave?" Tone rules, boundaries, opinions.
๐ USER.md โ "Who is my human?" Their name, preferences, how to address them.
๐ MEMORY.md โ Long-term memory. Curated lessons, not raw logs.
๐ AGENTS.md โ Session rules. What to do when it wakes up (read these files first).
๐ TOOLS.md โ Cheat sheet for local setup. Camera names, SSH aliases, voice prefs.
๐ BOOTSTRAP.md โ First-run only. Deleted after setup.
The AI reads these on every wake-up, so it "remembers" who it is and what matters โ no cloud needed. Your data stays yours.

Your data stays yours? Where do you think that data goes when you read it?
