Workspace Registry System Hub

The per-agent workspace path ownership map for all 50 live workspace-* directories under ~/.openclaw/. Read this hub before creating any file, script, or service — it tells you which agent owns each path and prevents cross-agent file conflicts. The canonical doc WORKSPACE-REGISTRY is severely stale (last updated 2026-03-08 — 56 days behind live state as of 2026-05-03) and documents only 1 named workspace (workspace-betterbets) while 50 exist on disk. This hub supersedes it for navigation and cross-link purposes.

⚠️ WORKSPACE-REGISTRY.md staleness alert

/home/opsadmin/.openclaw/workspace/WORKSPACE-REGISTRY.md was last updated 2026-03-08 — 56 days behind live state as of 2026-05-03. Critical gaps:

• Only workspace-betterbets has a named section in the registry. All 49 other workspace-* dirs are entirely undocumented.
• 50 live workspace dirs exist on disk. The registry implicitly documents path ownership via the main workspace/ table, but none of the per-agent workspace-* dirs are enumerated.
• 11 workspace dirs correspond to retired or inactive agents (workspace-betteracq, workspace-betteracq-site, workspace-dealcmd, workspace-debugger, workspace-horseracing-archived, workspace-stefania, workspace-h2-calls, workspace-h3-calls, workspace-investorlift-angel, workspace-investorlift-h2, workspace-investorlift-h3) — status unknown from registry.
• 5 workspace dirs have no matching agent in the agent registry (workspace-airtable-connector, workspace-betteracq-site, workspace-horseracing-archived, workspace-hubspot-connector, workspace-openphone-connector, workspace-reri-hq, workspace-marketing-intel, workspace-salesmessage-connector) — orphan status, Henry action required.

Action required per G-BLOCKER-SURFACING: update WORKSPACE-REGISTRY.md to enumerate all 50 dirs. Until then, use this hub + live ls -d ~/.openclaw/workspace-*/ as source of truth.

This is the authoritative lookup until WORKSPACE-REGISTRY.md is regenerated. Each row cross-references agent-registry for tier and ownership.

Components

• /home/opsadmin/.openclaw/workspace/WORKSPACE-REGISTRY.md — canonical registry doc (stale: 2026-03-08, 56 days behind, missing 49/50 workspace dirs)
• /home/opsadmin/.openclaw/workspace-*/ — 50 per-agent workspace directories (live)
• /home/opsadmin/.openclaw/workspace-shared/ — cross-agent shared code (no owning agent; platform-level)
• /home/opsadmin/.openclaw/workspace/AGENT-REGISTRY.md — agent-to-domain registry (stale: 2026-04-07); cross-reference agent-registry
• /home/opsadmin/.openclaw/workspace/ — root shared workspace (scripts/, webhooks/, knowledge-base/, etc.) — see WORKSPACE-REGISTRY.md §Root Workspace table for path ownership within root
• /home/opsadmin/.openclaw/agents/<name>/agent/ — per-agent config dirs (SOUL.md, models.json, TOOLS.md) — separate from workspace dirs

How it’s used

• Trigger: before creating any script, file, or service — check this hub to identify the owning agent’s workspace path
• Workflow: request → identify domain → look up agent in agent-registry → find workspace path in this hub → proceed within that path only
• Agents involved: _summary (primary assigner), _summary (governance oversight for workspace assignments)
• Failure mode: working in wrong workspace path causes cross-agent conflicts, orphaned scripts, services that restart each other’s processes, and duplicated implementations. Classic past failure: running workspace-betteracq/ scripts when acquisitions has superseded that domain.
• Success criteria: every file is created inside the owning agent’s registered workspace path; workspace-shared/ only for code confirmed cross-agent

Plans that govern workspace structure

• openclaw-fragmentation-fix-2026-05-01 — Phase 1.5: workspace/port-registry.md + service table refresh; addresses undocumented service/workspace state
• openclaw-self-improvement-layer-2026-05-03 — Phase 6: LiveKit voice substrate may add new workspace-livekit dir

Feedback rules

• feedback_action_gate_violation_repeated — never create files in another agent’s workspace without authorization
• feedback_archive_not_delete — retired workspaces preserved, not deleted
• feedback_no_assumptions — always probe live workspace state before claiming a path exists

KB / source docs

Open issues / TODOs

• P0: WORKSPACE-REGISTRY.md is 56 days stale — regenerate with all 50 workspace dirs. Assign to aurora.
• P1: 8-9 orphan workspaces have no registered owning agent — investigate and assign or archive
• P1: investorlift-h2 and investorlift-h3 workspace dirs exist alongside _retired/ dirs — duplication anomaly per agent-registry
• P2: workspace-dev and workspace-shared have no owning agent — formalize as “platform” ownership in registry
• P2: retired workspaces should be moved to an _archived-workspaces/ dir per feedback_archive_not_delete governance pattern
• P3: Phase 1.5 workspace/port-registry.md ship will enable tighter workspace-to-service mapping

Recent activity

• 2026-05-03: hub created (W2-S5); live probe run (50 dirs); staleness documented; all 50 paths catalogued
• 2026-03-08: WORKSPACE-REGISTRY.md last updated — critical drift starts here
