A workspace linter that enforces project structure rules and isolates OpenClaw agent file access per project

OpenClaw agents routinely create files in wrong directories, overwrite configuration they should not touch, and leave workspace layouts in chaos. The community has been requesting directory structure optimization and migration tooling in GitHub issues. CoChat raised $2M specifically to solve team workspace management. But the core problem is simpler than a full collaboration platform. Developers need a lightweight layer that enforces directory conventions, prevents agents from writing outside their scope, and auto-migrates messy workspace layouts to a clean structure.

1 tool exist (CoChat) but gaps remain: Full collaboration platform (heavy), not focused on structure enforcement or file isolation.

Features3 agent-ready prompts

CLI that validates directory layout, required files, and naming conventions against a configurable ruleset and fails on violations
Filesystem wrapper that restricts each agent to its declared project directory and blocks reads/writes outside the boundary
Script that restructures an existing messy workspace to match the target layout, moving files and updating references automatically
