# TOOLS.md is retired

Local tool and environment notes now live in the `## Tools` section of `AGENTS.md`. Skills continue to define how tools work.

Run `openclaw doctor --fix` to archive an existing workspace `TOOLS.md`, merge customized content into `AGENTS.md`, and remove the retired file.

See the [AGENTS.md template](/reference/templates/AGENTS) and [agent workspace guide](/concepts/agent-workspace).
