SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Initialize and configure OpenClaw agent workspace MD files (AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md, TOOLS.md, BOOTSTRAP.md, HEARTBEAT.md). Use when setting up a new agent, customizing agent personality/behavior, configuring agent workspace for TeamClaw, or checking/fixing agent environment (Python/uv). Provides interactive interview workflow before generating files. Integrates with TeamClaw session file system (input/output folders) and supports both container and external instances.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive interview workflow to gather identity, preferences, and environment
  • Phase-based generation of agent workspace MD files (IDENTITY.md, USER.md, SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, AGENTS.md, HEARTBEAT.md, BOOTSTRAP.md)
  • Environment checks and preparation via scripts/check-env.sh
  • Writes file set to per-agent workspace for container or external instances
  • Verification guidance to ensure correct session wiring and memory setup

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize an OpenClaw agent workspace for a new instance?

To initialize an OpenClaw agent workspace, run an interactive interview workflow that gathers identity, preferences, and environment details to generate required configuration files. It guides you through phases to tailor boundaries, tools, and memory settings before writing the files.

What files are required to set up a TeamClaw agent workspace?

Setting up a TeamClaw agent workspace requires generating specific MD files: AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md, TOOLS.md, BOOTSTRAP.md, and HEARTBEAT.md. These files configure the agent's identity, behavior, and environment.

Can I customize agent personality and behavior during workspace initialization?

Yes, you can customize agent personality and behavior during workspace initialization. The interactive interview workflow gathers specific identity details and preferences, which are then used to generate tailored configuration files like SOUL.md and IDENTITY.md.

Does the agent workspace initialization support both container and external instances?

Yes, the agent workspace initialization supports both container and external instances. The generated file set is placed into the per-agent workspace using the TeamClaw session filesystem, ensuring correct wiring across different deployment types.

How do I check and fix the Python environment for my agent workspace?

You can check and fix the Python environment for your agent workspace using the built-in environment checks and preparation scripts. The initialization workflow verifies the environment setup to ensure correct session wiring and memory configuration.
