Canonical Data Directory Map

OpenClaw Greek Accounting System — v1.1

Setup

This skill is a reference document — it defines the directory structure and naming conventions used by all other Greek accounting skills. No binaries or credentials required.

# Set the data directory (all skills read this)
export OPENCLAW_DATA_DIR="/data"

# Initialize the full directory structure
mkdir -p $OPENCLAW_DATA_DIR/{incoming/{invoices,receipts,statements,government},processing,clients,compliance/{vat,efka,mydata,e1,e3},banking/{imports/{alpha,nbg,eurobank,piraeus},processing,reconciliation},ocr/{incoming,output},reports,auth,system/{logs,process-locks},backups}

This document defines the complete file system architecture for the OpenClaw Greek Accounting system. It is the authoritative reference for all path decisions. No skill may introduce a new top-level directory or deviate from the naming conventions defined here without a version update to this document.

v1.1 change: Added /data/memory/ — agent episodic memory, failure logs, pattern store, GitHub proposal queue, and rate-limit state. Owner: memory-feedback (Skill 19, Phase 4). All Phase 3B+ skills must include episode and failure log hooks that write into this tree.

---

1. /data/incoming/ — Raw Input

All documents entering the system land here first, regardless of source (email attachment, manual drop, scanner, bank download). Nothing in /data/incoming/ is processed yet.

/data/incoming/
╔══ invoices/          # Supplier invoices (PDF, image)
╔══ receipts/          # Receipts (PDF, image, phone photo)
╔══ statements/        # Bank statements (PDF, CSV, OFX)
╔══ government/        # AADE/EFKA notifications and documents
╔══ payroll/           # Hour sheets, employee documents
╔══ tax-documents/     # Tax certificates, employer statements (βεβαιώσεις)
╔══ contracts/         # Contracts and legal documents
└══ other/             # Uncategorised — routed after classification

Naming convention for incoming files: Files dropped here may arrive with any name. The system must NOT rename them on arrival — the original filename is preserved for audit purposes. The system assigns a canonical name only when moving to /data/processing/.

---

2. /data/processing/ — In-Flight Pipeline

Temporary working space. Files here are mid-pipeline and may be incomplete. No other skill should read from /data/processing/ as a final source — always read from /data/clients/ or /data/compliance/ for canonical data.

/data/processing/
╔══ ocr/               # OCR in progress
╚   ╔══ queued/        # Waiting for OCR
╚   ╔══ enhanced/      # Image pre-processing complete
╚   ╔══ extracted/     # Text extracted, not yet validated
╚   └══ validated/     # OCR output validated, ready to route
╔══ classification/    # Document type identification in progress
╔══ reconciliation/    # Bank reconciliation working files
╚   ╔══ matching/      # Transaction matching in progress
╚   └══ flagged/       # Items needing human review
╔══ compliance/        # Filing preparation working files
╚   ╔══ vat/           # VAT return preparation
╚   ╔══ efka/          # EFKA declaration preparation
╚   └══ mydata/        # myDATA submission preparation
└══ imports/           # Bulk import validation in progress

Cleanup policy: Files in /data/processing/ are deleted or archived after the pipeline completes successfully. They are never the canonical record.

---

3. /data/clients/ — Client Master Records

The single source of truth for all client data. Every other skill that needs client information reads from here. Only the client-data-management skill writes to this tree.

/data/clients/
╔══ _index.json                    # Global client index (name, AFM, status, assignee)
╔══ _audit-log.json                # All access and change events across all clients
╔══ _schema-version.json           # Current schema version for migration tracking
└══ {AFM}/                         # One directory per client, keyed by AFM (e.g. EL123456789)
    ╔══ profile.json               # Master client record
    ╔══ identifiers.json           # AFM, GEMI, EFKA employer ID, IBANs
    ╔══ contacts.json              # Contact persons
    ╔══ notes.json                 # Relationship notes and meeting logs
    ╔══ compliance/
    ╚   ╔══ filings.json           # All completed filings (VAT, EFKA, E1, etc.)
    ╚   ╔══ obligations.json       # Recurring obligation schedule
    ╚   └══ gaps.json              # Missing/overdue filing log
    ╔══ documents/
    ╚   ╔══ registry.json          # Metadata index of all documents for this client
    ╚   ╔══ pending.json           # Documents awaiting processing or review
    ╚   └══ archive-index.json     # References to archived documents
    ╔══ correspondence/
    ╚   └══ {YYYYMMDD}_{type}_{draft-id}_sent.json  # Immutable sent communication records
    ╔══ comms-preferences.json     # Client-specific salutation, contact, language overrides
    ╔══ payroll/
    ╚   └══ {YYYY-MM}/             # One folder per pay period
    ╚       ╔══ hours-input.csv    # Raw hours data
    ╚       ╔══ calculations.json  # Computed payroll data
    ╚       └══ {employee-slug}_payslip.pdf   # Generated payslips
    ╔══ financial-statements/
    ╚   ╔══ index.json             # All generated statements, versions, periods, status
    ╚   ╔══ {YYYY-MM}_pl_v{N}.json               # P&L machine-readable
    ╚   ╔══ {YYYY-MM}_balance-sheet_v{N}.json     # Balance sheet machine-readable
    ╚   ╔══ {YYYY-MM}_cash-flow_v{N}.json         # Cash flow machine-readable
    ╚   └══ {YYYY-MM}_vat-summary_v{N}.json       # VAT summary machine-readable
    └══ gdpr/
        ╔══ consent.json           # Consent records
        ╔══ retention-policy.json  # Retention schedule for this client
        └══ deletion-log.json      # Record of any deletions performed

AFM format: Always EL + 9 digits, uppercase. Example: EL123456789. Never store without the EL prefix. Never use the 9-digit-only form as a directory name.

---

4. /data/compliance/ — Government Filings

Stores the actual submission files (XML, PDF) generated for government platforms. The filing record lives in /data/clients/{AFM}/compliance/filings.json — this directory holds the file artefacts themselves.

/data/compliance/
╔══ vat/
╚   └══ {AFM}_{YYYY}{MM}_vat_return.xml      # VAT return XML for TAXIS
╔══ mydata/
╚   └══ {AFM}_{YYYY}{MM}_{invoice-number}_mydata.xml
╔══ efka/
╚   └══ {AFM}_{YYYY}{MM}_efka_declaration.xml
╔══ e1/
╚   └══ {AFM}_{YYYY}_e1_form.xml             # Individual tax returns
╔══ e3/
╚   └══ {AFM}_{YYYY}_e3_form.xml             # Business activity statements
╔══ corporate-tax/
╚   └══ {AFM}_{YYYY}_corporate_tax.xml
└══ submissions/
    └══ {AFM}_{YYYY}{MM}_{type}_submission-receipt.json   # Government confirmation receipts

Naming convention: {AFM}_{period}_{type}.{ext} — always lowercase type, always ISO period format (YYYYMM or YYYY), always the full AFM with EL prefix.

---

Note: /data/reports/monthly-expenses.json (used in Skill 1) is deprecated. Expense data belongs in /data/clients/{AFM}/compliance/ or exported via /data/exports/.

---

9. /data/exports/ — Data Leaving the System

13. /data/backups/ — Encrypted Backups

/data/backups/
╔══ full_{YYYYMMDD}.tar.enc                        # Full system backup (weekly)
╔══ incremental_{YYYYMMDD}.tar.enc                 # Incremental backup (daily)

16. /data/memory/ — Agent Memory & Feedback

The agent's episodic memory, failure capture, pattern learning store, GitHub proposal queue, and rate-limit state. Written to by all skills (episode and failure hooks) and managed by the memory-feedback skill (Skill 19). No skill other than memory-feedback reads from this tree for decision-making — it is strictly write-on-event, read-by-Skill-19.

/data/memory/
╔══ episodes/
╚   └══ {YYYY-MM-DD}/
╚       └══ {session-id}_{action-type}.json    # Successful/completed agent actions
╔══ failures/
╚   └══ {YYYY-MM-DD}/
╚       └══ {session-id}_{failure-type}.json   # Failures with structured reflection
╔══ patterns/
╚   ╔══ successes/
╚   ╚   └══ {pattern-id}.json                  # Recurring good outcomes extracted from episodes
╚   └══ failures/
╚       └══ {pattern-id}.json                  # Recurring problems extracted from failures
╔══ corrections/
╚   └══ {YYYY-MM-DD}_{correction-id}.json      # Human corrections to agent behaviour
╔══ proposals/
╚   └══ {YYYY-MM-DD}_{skill-name}_{id}.md      # Draft skill improvements awaiting GitHub PR
└══ rate-limits/
    ╔══ current-state.json                      # Live token and storage consumption
    ╔══ daily-log.json                          # Per-day consumption history
    └══ config.json                             # Configurable limits (hard floors enforced)

Episode logging trigger: Any agent action that makes a decision, produces output, or interacts with a government system. Trivial reads are not logged.

Failure logging trigger: Any error, intent misread, missing data condition, or human correction. Always includes what_should_have_happened field.

Pattern scan schedule: Once daily at 02:00 Athens time. Never during business hours. Maximum 3 proposals per day. Maximum 2 GitHub PRs per day.

Storage limits (defaults):

• Episodes: 500 MB max — auto-archive after 90 days
• Failures: 200 MB max
• Patterns: 50 MB max
• Proposals: 50 MB max
• Total /data/memory/: 2 GB hard ceiling — system halts memory writes at 90% capacity

GitHub integration: When a failure pattern reaches confidence threshold (≥0.85, ≥3 occurrences), memory-feedback creates a branch on GitHub and opens a pull request against the relevant SKILL.md file. Human must review and merge. Agent never pushes directly to main. Rejected PRs are logged — the same change is never re-proposed.

Rate limit tokens: Memory and reflection operations are budgeted separately from accounting operations. Default: 5,000 tokens/day for all memory processes combined.

Deprecated Paths — Do Not Use

These paths appear in earlier skill versions and must not be used in any new skill. When encountered in existing commands, treat as aliases that redirect to the canonical paths.

Skill Responsibility Matrix

Which skill owns (writes to) each top-level directory:

Directory	Owner Skill	Other Skills May Read
/data/incoming/	accounting-workflows	All skills
/data/processing/	Pipeline skill handling the job	None as final source
/data/clients/	client-data-management	All skills (read only)

Enforcement Rules for All Skills

1. Never introduce a new top-level directory under /data/ without updating this document first.
2. Never write processed/canonical data to /data/processing/ — it is temporary only.
3. Never write client data outside /data/clients/{AFM}/ — client-data-management is the only writer.
4. Always use the full AFM with EL prefix in all paths, filenames, and JSON keys.
5. Always use ISO date format (YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD) in file names and JSON — never DD/MM/YYYY in stored data.
6. Never use Greek characters in file names or directory names — only in JSON values and display output.
7. Currency values in JSON are always numeric — never strings with € symbols.
8. All timestamps in JSON are UTC — display conversion to Europe/Athens happens at the output layer only.
9. The /data/processing/ tree is ephemeral — never reference it as the source of truth from another skill.
10. Deprecated paths are read-only legacy — redirect to canonical paths, never create new files at deprecated locations.

Unified Audit Event Schema

Every skill must log significant actions using this single JSON schema. Audit events are written to /data/system/logs/audit/ and are the authoritative record for regulatory inspection.

{
  "event_id": "EVT-20260219-143022-a7b3",
  "timestamp": "2026-02-19T14:30:22Z",
  "skill": "greek-compliance-aade",
  "action": "vat_return_submitted",
  "category": "government_submission",
  "user": {
    "username": "m.papadopoulou",
    "role": "senior_accountant",
    "ip_address": "192.168.1.42"
  },
  "client": {
    "afm": "EL123456789",
    "name": "ALPHA TRADING AE"
  },
  "details": {
    "period": "2026-01",
    "filing_type": "F2_VAT_RETURN",
    "amount": 3340.00,
    "submission_ref": "AADE-2026-0142"
  },
  "before_state": null,
  "after_state": "submitted",
  "approval": {
    "prepared_by": "a.nikolaou",
    "approved_by": "m.papadopoulou",
    "approved_at": "2026-02-19T14:28:00Z"
  },
  "data_classification": "confidential",
  "result": "success"
}

Required fields for all events: event_id, timestamp, skill, action, category, user.username, user.role, result.

Optional fields: client, details, before_state, after_state, approval, data_classification.

Event categories:

• government_submission — any filing sent to AADE, EFKA, myDATA
• data_modification — create, update, or delete of client records
• access_event — login, logout, session activity, access denial
• document_processing — OCR, classification, extraction, validation
• financial_output — statement generation, amendment, report creation
• communication — client correspondence sent
• system_operation — backup, integrity check, schema migration
• security_event — lockout, 2FA failure, session revocation, permission change

Storage: /data/system/logs/audit/{YYYY-MM-DD}_audit.jsonl (one JSON object per line, append-only).

Retention: Audit logs are retained for 10 years per Greek tax law and EU regulatory requirements.

Encryption-at-Rest Specification

Directories containing sensitive data must be encrypted at rest in production deployments. This is required for GDPR compliance (EU Regulation 2016/679, implemented in Greece by Law 4624/2019).

Directories Requiring Encryption

Directory	Classification	Encryption Required	Rationale
/data/auth/	Restricted	Mandatory	Credential hashes, session data, 2FA secrets
/data/clients/	Confidential	Mandatory	Financial records, PII (names, AFMs, IBANs)
/data/compliance/	Confidential	Mandatory	Tax filings containing financial data
/data/efka/	Confidential	Mandatory	Employee PII, salary data, social security numbers
/data/banking/	Confidential	Recommended	Bank statements, account numbers
/data/backups/	Confidential	Already encrypted	AES-256 via Skill 17
/data/gdpr-exports/	Confidential	Mandatory	Subject access request data
/data/processing/	Internal	Optional	Ephemeral — deleted after pipeline
/data/reports/	Internal	Recommended	May contain client financial summaries
/data/system/	Internal	Optional	Logs and operational data

Implementation

Encryption_At_Rest:
  method: "AES-256-GCM"
  key_management:
    master_key_source: "Environment variable OPENCLAW_ENCRYPTION_KEY or hardware security module"
    key_rotation: "Annual, or immediately on suspected compromise"
    never: "Never store the master key inside /data/ or in any SKILL.md file"
    
  options:
    full_disk: "Preferred — use LUKS/dm-crypt on the volume hosting /data/"
    directory_level: "Alternative — use fscrypt or gocryptfs per directory"
    file_level: "Minimum — encrypt individual JSON files with per-file keys derived from master"
    
  verification:
    command: "openclaw integrity verify-encryption --check-all-sensitive-dirs"
    schedule: "Weekly, as part of system integrity check"

Data Classification Labels

Every JSON record stored in encrypted directories should include a data_classification field:

{
  "data_classification": "confidential"
}

Valid values: public, internal, confidential, restricted.

This field enables rapid scoping during GDPR breach notification (72-hour requirement) — you can quickly determine what classification of data was exposed.

    examples_invalid: ["123456789", "EL12345", "el123456789", "GR123456789"]
    
  iban:
    format: "GR followed by 25 alphanumeric characters"
    regex: "^GR[0-9]{25}$"
    note: "Validate check digits per ISO 13616"
    
  ama:
    description: "EFKA registration number"
    format: "Numeric, variable length up to 12 digits"
    regex: "^[0-9]{1,12}$"

  vat_rates:
    valid_values: [0.24, 0.13, 0.06, 0.0]
    labels: ["24% standard", "13% reduced", "6% super-reduced", "0% exempt"]
    note: "Reject any other rate — may indicate data entry error"
    
  periods:
