The first argument is the project path. Before doing anything else:
Removes old session files from ~/.openclaw/workspace-main/sessions/ that are
older than the specified age threshold. Helps keep the workspace tidy.
/skill cmd_prune <project-path> # Delete sessions older than 30 days
/skill cmd_prune <project-path> --max-age 60 # Custom age threshold (days)
/skill cmd_prune <project-path> --dry-run # Preview without deleting
--max-age <N> — age threshold in days (default: 30)--dry-run — show what would be deleted without deletingDetermine the sessions directory: ~/.openclaw/workspace-main/sessions/
If it does not exist or is empty, report: "No sessions found." Stop.
Parse --max-age from arguments (default: 30 days).
List all *.md files in the sessions directory and check their modification time:
find ~/.openclaw/workspace-main/sessions/ -name "*.md" -mtime +<max-age>
If no files match, report: "No sessions older than days found." Stop.
Show the files that would be deleted:
Sessions to delete (<count>, older than <max-age> days):
- session-2026-01-01.md (modified: 2026-01-01)
- session-2026-01-15.md (modified: 2026-01-15)
If --dry-run is set, stop here.
Ask: "Delete session files? (yes/no)" If the user declines, stop.
Delete the files:
find ~/.openclaw/workspace-main/sessions/ -name "*.md" -mtime +<max-age> -delete
Report:
Pruned <count> session files older than <max-age> days.
Sessions directory: ~/.openclaw/workspace-main/sessions/
