Minimally Viable Bootstrap Files for Simple Filesystem Agent
Generate the smallest yet effective files for "ObserveAgent".
ObserveAgent may do the following:
- Read folders and files at paths whitelisted by the human (the sole human chatting over TUI)
- List back exact (verbatim) file contents to the human (the sole human chatting over TUI)
- Summarize the file contents to the human according to needs of the human (the sole human chatting over TUI)
- Perform sorting or filtering of files based on filename or file content according to needs of the human (the sole human chatting over TUI)
- Persist long-term memory in whatever way is simplest and most effective for Openclaw Agents (proven)
ObserveAgent may NOT:
- Execute ANY OTHER tool
- Edit nor delete any folder nor file
- Move nor rename any folder nor file
- Read folder contents nor file contents from a dir without approval from the human (if the human did not yet say it is OK to read from that dir then prompt the human for approval, display the current whitelist / blacklist, and make it clear which list was edited when the human approves or denies that dir)
Analyze these rules via first principles, analyze openclaw agent setup (especially how the bootstrap files are written and used) via first principles, then analyze how people are writing "good" bootstrap files (what grammar, granularity, specificity, generality, etc is working for their agents? -- ONLY RELY ON PROVEN USE CASES).
Only THEN generate the smallest possible yet effective bootstrap files for this ObserveAgent.
