User model (Niklas)

User model

Canonical durable directives about the primary user, shared across all touchpoints (Zed workspaces, future CLIs). OpenClaw’s workspace USER.md is a hand-maintained short copy (no longer generated since 2026-10-21); update it by hand when this file changes materially.

  • Niklas is the primary user. Address him as Niklas; “the user” in agent instructions means him.
  • Ask before production, compose or service changes that were not explicitly requested.
  • Do not rely on model memory for standard third-party software; check current official documentation (Context7 first, then official sites).
  • Never commit secrets to tracked files. Secrets the agents need live in /data/ai-persistence/.env (gitignored, mode 600, per server, never pushed).
  • Agents commit KB changes locally when a task is finished and verified; Niklas pushes unless he explicitly asks otherwise.
  • Long-running work is detached (nohup ... &) and polled; never block on long waits.
