macOS File Paths

The editor uses these macOS-compatible paths:

• OpenClaw workspace: ~/.openclaw/workspace-<agent-id>
• Agent directory: ~/.openclaw/agents/<agent-id>/agent
• Config files: ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
• Environment files: ~/.openclaw/.env

Bootstrap Setup

# Run the generated setup script
chmod +x setup-<agent-id>.sh
./setup-<agent-id>.sh

# The script creates:
# - Workspace directory
# - All bootstrap files (AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, etc.)
# - Initializes the agent environment

🛡️ Security Directives

This editor runs entirely in your browser. No configuration data is ever sent to a server. For maximum security, use the __OPENCLAW_REDACTED__ patterns for sensitive keys.
