Can I edit AGENTS.md here?
Yes. AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, memory notes, runbooks, and related Markdown files can all be edited from the workspace view.
Feature
OpenClaw workspace file operations in the dashboard
Browse and edit AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, memory notes, runbooks, and other OpenClaw workspace files directly from the dashboard.
The Workspace section is both documentation and an editor for the file operations that shape your assistant: Markdown knowledge, AGENTS.md instructions, MEMORY.md, memory folder notes, and runbooks. You can browse files, edit content, and push updates directly to your instance workspace without opening a shell for routine changes.
What you can do
- Browse workspace Markdown files and open them instantly.
- Edit AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, memory folder notes, and runbooks in one place.
- Use save and revert controls instead of risky shell edits.
- Keep operating context close to the assistant that uses it.
- Use the page as documentation for where OpenClaw workspace files live and what they affect.

What lives in the workspace
The workspace holds the Markdown files that shape how your agent behaves day to day: AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, memory notes, runbooks, and related instructions.
With the dashboard editor you can browse those files, make changes quickly, and keep the operational context attached to the instance that actually uses it. This is the safer path for routine workspace file operations when you do not need direct terminal access.
- Browse files
- Edit AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, memory docs, and runbooks
- Save safely with visibility into pending changes
- Avoid direct shell access for everyday edits
- Keep workspace documentation and operational memory in the same managed view
When to use the editor vs the guides
Use the editor when you already know what file you want to change and need a fast way to update it. Use the supporting guides when you want a deeper explanation of how memory files, workspace Markdown, or AGENTS.md are structured.
That split keeps the product workflow simple while still giving operators a place to learn the underlying concepts.
FAQ
What is the main user benefit of the workspace editor?
