Keep a Shared Agent Workspace Clean, Backed Up, and Portable

Premise

Assign one maintenance agent to workspace conventions, secret-safe backups, scratch retention, and a live bot registry.

Setup

1. Treat the shared workspace as the source of truth and document durable versus temporary paths.
2. Initialize a private, secret-safe Git backup.
3. Schedule backups, scratch cleanup, and a weekly organization review.

Boundaries

• Never commit credentials, cookies, browser profiles, or runtime databases.
• Retention applies only to shared scratch, not project folders.
• No force pushes or silent deletion.

Maintain this multi-agent workspace. Keep conventions under an operations folder, a registry of roles and workspace paths, and shared temp and archive directories. Back up durable files to a private Git remote on weekdays with a strict ignore list. Move old temp files to archive and delete only expired archive files, logging every action. Review backup health and workspace drift weekly.
