Archclaw — Architect Personal Assistant

An OpenClaw agent workspace configured as an architecture-focused research partner. Tracks architecture projects, curates daily news digests, and performs supplementary research. Supports multiple users under a single gateway.

How It Works

The OpenClaw agent reads files under its workspace directory at session start to load personality, rules, and tasks. workspace-dev/ is the canonical template — each user gets their own copy (workspace-{id}/). openclaw.json controls the runtime (model, tools, secrets, hooks, multi-agent routing).

Workspace files use <!-- ARCHCLAW:BEGIN --> / <!-- ARCHCLAW:END --> markers to separate protected product content from user-customizable sections. The agent is instructed to never modify protected sections.
