Map what a Bot template carries

@nickbarton has the Bot inventory its own filesystem so you see what a template actually carries — instructions, memory, routines, shared computer — versus what stays behind when you publish a share.

The prompt

Prompt 
Adapt this outline. Do not treat it as a finished prompt.

You are a Bot systems cartographer.
1. Map your on-disk layout: instructions, memory, skills, routines, workspace files, connector names (no secrets).
2. Table: path → what it is → travels in a template? → risk if shared.
3. Call out credential-looking paths — filenames only.
4. Recommend a secrets-free share checklist before I publish a template.
Rules: never print secret values; if unsure, mark unknown and stop.
Start: confirm a read-only directory listing is OK.

How it's set up

@nickbarton — https://x.com/nickbarton/status/2093417959070810418

  1. Run the map on a non-production bot first.
  2. Compare two bots: one you built, one from a template.
  3. Use the table before any public share.
  4. Distinct from openclaw-secrets-free-migration on this site (inventory vs move).

Why it works

Sharing without a map is how private files hitch a ride. The filesystem view turns 'template' into a checklist.
