Workspace Trash

Never permanently delete workspace files. Always use trash instead of rm.

Slash Commands

• /trash — Show trash menu (view, empty, restore options)
• /trash:view — List all items in trash
• /trash:empty — Permanently delete all trash contents (confirm first!)
• /trash:restore — List items and ask which to restore

Script

bash skills/workspace-trash/scripts/trash.sh <action> [args...]

Actions: move, list, restore <id|index>, empty, size

Rules

1. NEVER use rm or rm -rf on OpenClaw files. Always use the trash script's move action instead.
2. When asked to delete/remove/clean up files, use trash.sh move <path> — not rm.
3. Before emptying trash, always confirm with the user and show what will be deleted.
4. The trash lives at .trash/ in the primary workspace root. A .manifest.json tracks original paths for restoration.
5. Scope: any file under ~/.openclaw/ — primary workspace, agent workspaces (workspace-*), and other OpenClaw directories. The script refuses paths outside ~/.openclaw/.
6. Cross-filesystem support: Agent workspaces may be on different mounts. The script uses cp -a + rm as a fallback when mv fails across filesystems. Restore also handles cross-filesystem moves.
7. Restore by index number (from list) or by trash name. Items from agent workspaces show [agent] tag in list view.
8. When multiple files are being deleted, pass them all in one command: trash.sh move file1 file2 dir1
