Ontology & Projects Management

Status: active Updated: 2026-04-18

Purpose

Single source of truth for managing projects and tasks in OpenClaw.

This project defines:

• ontology rules
• project/task folder standards
• migration rules for existing data
• testing checklist after changes

Scope

Covers:

• memory/ontology/schema.yaml
• memory/ontology/graph.jsonl
• memory/ontology/RULES.md
• skills/ontology/references/schema.md
• project and task folder conventions under tasks/<project>/

Current standard

• A Task cannot exist without a Project.
• Every Project has a documentation folder and a main documentation file.
• Every Task has its own folder inside the project and its own main documentation file.

Main documents

• memory/ontology/RULES.md — behavioral and governance rules
• memory/ontology/schema.yaml — active schema used by validation
• skills/ontology/references/schema.md — reference schema for the ontology skill

Migration target

Existing projects and tasks should be normalized to the current standard, preserving history and append-only graph behavior where possible.
