OpenClaw

OpenClaw workspaces benefit from the same root AGENTS.md pattern.

From the workspace or repo root:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rogerchappel/agentic-team-playbook/main/templates/AGENTS.md -o AGENTS.md

Then customise:

• local commands
• agent launch rules
• branch and PR expectations
• risk escalation areas
• verification gates

Local-Only CLIs

If your OpenClaw setup is local-only, keep the policy local and do not open upstream PRs just to update private operating instructions.

Use the playbook as an importable baseline, not as a reason to publish local config.

Recommended Pattern

Use AGENTS.md for shared instructions and scoped AGENTS.md files for subdirectories with special rules.
