Workspace Restructure

John decided to stop using Obsidian. The Obsidian/ subdirectory in PhaedrusAI-Main is unnecessary nesting — everything should live at the repo root.

The Plan

1. Flatten PhaedrusAI-Main

Move everything from ~/Documents/PhaedrusAI-main/Obsidian/ up to ~/Documents/PhaedrusAI-main/:

~/Documents/PhaedrusAI-main/
├── AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md, TOOLS.md, HEARTBEAT.md
├── context/
├── memory/
├── wiki/
├── projects/
├── scratch/
├── skills/
├── scripts/
├── public/
├── planning/
├── thought-partners/
└── ...

Drop: .obsidian/ (Obsidian app config), stray screenshots, openclaw-workspace-state.json (regenerated).

Then update OpenClaw workspace config to point at ~/Documents/PhaedrusAI-main/ and restart.

2. New repo: openclaw-config

Track the OpenClaw infrastructure at ~/.openclaw/:

~/.openclaw/           ← new git repo
├── openclaw.json      ← gateway config
├── skills/            ← user-level skills (docx, find-skills)
├── plugin-skills/     ← plugin-generated (imsg, slack, etc.)
├── skill-workshop/    ← proposal drafts
└── .gitignore         ← exclude secrets.json, lcm.db*, logs/, cache/, tmp/

What stays the same

• The existing GitHub repo keeps all work — just restructured
• secrets.json stays local, never tracked
• Bundled OpenClaw skills come with npm install

Status

Waiting on John — plan discussed 08/22 via webchat. Awaiting confirmation on which folders to drop and any other preferences before executing.
