Description:
In this video, we look at how the file system is currently organized to support the full agent workflow — capturing activity, routing files, and keeping everything synced across devices. This is very much a snapshot in time and constantly evolving, but the goal is to show the thinking behind the structure so you can adapt it to your own setup.
Everything lives inside a top-level folder called Work, stored in Dropbox so it syncs across all devices including the OpenClaw Mac Mini. Inside Work, there are folders for projects (with sub-projects for each business area), a journal, an ideas folder, intake (where new files land before agents route them), content (published activity captured by FeedWatch), radar (industry monitoring from RSS feeds), and summaries (daily, weekly, and monthly rollups generated by agents). The intake folder is the main entry point — notes, voice memos, and ideas created in the BrainDown app drop into intake, and the daily intake processing skill automatically routes them to the right destination. The OpenClaw configuration and workspace also live inside Work via symlinks, making it possible to manage agent settings from any device. On the Mac Mini, a separate Dropbox account with access limited to just the Work folder keeps agents from seeing personal files.
What's covered:
- The Work folder structure: projects, journal, ideas, intake, content, radar, summaries, and OpenClaw config
- How the BrainDown app feeds new files into the intake folder for automatic routing
- FeedWatch capturing published content (YouTube, Twitter, newsletters, podcasts) into markdown files
- Content radar: an agent skill that monitors RSS feeds of industry sources and flags relevant items
- Symlinks for OpenClaw configuration and workspace inside the Work folder
- Dropbox syncing strategy with a separate account on the Mac Mini for access isolation
