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.
