Other Workspace Files

Open Claw recognizes several other special markdown files that are automatically injected into the agent's context at startup. BOOT.md contains instructions that the agent runs once when the Gateway starts. TOOLS.md describes the tools available to the agent and how they should be used. IDENTITY.md is an alternative or complement to SOUL.md for defining the agent's persona. BOOTSTRAP.md is a general-purpose file for injecting additional context into every session. On top of these recognized filenames, you can also add any other markdown files to your workspace, such as project notes, reference documents, or custom instructions for specific tasks.
