## Tasks Completed

### 1. Research: helloiamleonie X Post on AI Agent Memory
**Time:** 16:26 CST  
**Role:** Alice-Researcher (subagent)

**What was requested:**
Research and document the X post from helloiamleonie (https://x.com/helloiamleonie/status/2026332344651530391)

**What was done:**
- Attempted direct fetch of X post - blocked by X's anti-scraping measures
- Conducted Tavily AI search for context about helloiamleonie and agent memory
- Found Leonie Monigatti is Developer Advocate at Weaviate, expert in AI agents
- Researched current state of AI agent memory (February 2026)
- Documented multiple memory framework launches on same day (Feb 24, 2026):
  - memU framework (NevaMind-AI)
  - New Relic AI agent platform
  - Druva Agentic Memory expansion
- Created comprehensive 6,888 word research summary
- Saved document to Mission Control Documents
- Created Gantt Board task (ID: 683f1743-c2b3-40a7-8e2c-17c47a6ee060)

**Key Findings:**
- Leonie posted about being excited to dive into "Memory" (capitalized = likely product/framework)
- Post timing coincides with major agent memory infrastructure developments
- Agent memory is becoming critical infrastructure layer (mem0 raised $24M)
- ICLR 2026 has dedicated workshop on agent memory
- Current challenge: forgetting/deletion mechanisms for long-term agent memory

**Files created:**
- `/Users/mattbruce/Documents/Projects/OpenClaw/Documents/helloiamleonie-x-post-research-2026-02-24.md`

**Blockers:**
- Direct X post fetch blocked - content accessed via search summaries
- Full post context may require manual review

### 2. Workspace Cleanup: Remove Redundant Top-Level Dot Folders
**Time:** 16:42 CST  
**What was requested:**
Clean up unnecessary top-level hidden (`.`) folders in `/Volumes/Data/openclaw/workspace`, keeping only what is needed.

**What was decided:**
- Keep core hidden folders: `.git`, `.agents`, `.openclaw`, `.clawhub`, `.vercel`, `.env.tavily`, `.gitignore`
- Remove redundant compatibility wrapper dot-folders that only mirrored skills symlinks
- Remove `.DS_Store` metadata artifacts

**What was done:**
- Audited all top-level dot-folders for size, contents, and git tracking
- Removed redundant dot-folders:
  - `.adal`, `.agent`, `.augment`, `.claude`, `.cline`, `.codebuddy`, `.commandcode`, `.continue`, `.cortex`, `.crush`, `.factory`, `.goose`, `.iflow`, `.junie`, `.kilocode`, `.kiro`, `.kode`, `.mcpjam`, `.mux`, `.neovate`, `.openhands`, `.pi`, `.pochi`, `.qoder`, `.qwen`, `.roo`, `.trae`, `.vibe`, `.windsurf`, `.zencoder`
- Removed all `.DS_Store` files in workspace
- Verified resulting top-level hidden folders are now minimal and focused

**Blockers / follow-ups:**
- `trash` command could not move items to Trash from this external volume due permissions (`afpAccessDenied`), so deletion used `rm`.
- Git now shows staged file deletions if user wants to commit this cleanup.

### 3. Git Ignore Hardening for Workspace Cleanup
**Time:** 16:44 CST  
**What was requested:**
Add/update `.gitignore` if needed after dot-folder cleanup.

**What was decided:**
- Expand `.gitignore` beyond `.vercel` to prevent recurrent workspace clutter
- Ignore macOS `.DS_Store` and the removed wrapper dot-folders if they are regenerated

**What was done:**
- Updated `.gitignore` with:
  - `.vercel/`
  - `.DS_Store`
  - Ignore entries for removed wrapper folders (`.adal/`, `.agent/`, `.augment/`, `.claude/`, etc.)

**Blockers / follow-ups:**
- Existing deletions from cleanup remain in git working tree and are ready for user review/commit.

### 4. Post-Cleanup Verification: `.agents` vs `skills` vs `~/.agents`
**Time:** 16:47 CST  
**What was requested:**
Confirm whether `.agents` and `skills` are copies from home directory and whether other tools can still use them.

**What was done:**
- Verified `.agents` and `skills` in workspace are real directories (not symlinks)
- Verified workspace `skills/` contains symlinks into local `../.agents/skills/*` plus a few local folders
- Verified home path `/Users/mattbruce/.agents/skills` exists and remains intact after cleanup
- Confirmed cleanup did not remove or alter `~/.agents/skills`

**Follow-up note:**
- Removed wrapper folders (like `.agent/`, `.adal/`, `.claude/`) are no longer present in workspace; tools that specifically require those exact workspace paths would need recreation.
