SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenClaw persona design and bootstrap templates to standardize how agents think, behave, and persist identity across sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bootstrap architecture and per-agent overrides to customize SOUL, IDENTITY, and operational rules for different deployments.
  • Clear guidance on the six bootstrap files (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md, TOOLS.md, and BOOTSTRAP.md) and how they load in boot order to maintain personality persistence.
  • Mechanisms for continuity, memory handling, and safety to prevent drift and ensure consistent behavior across sessions.

Quick Start

Create a new agent persona by populating SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md, TOOLS.md, and BOOTSTRAP.md according to the guidelines.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design consistent agent personas for multi-agent deployments?

To design agent personas for multi-agent deployments, populate six bootstrap Markdown files (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md, TOOLS.md, BOOTSTRAP.md) to define soul, behavior rules, and user knowledge for per-agent customization.

What is the best way to maintain personality persistence across agent sessions?

Maintaining personality persistence across sessions relies on a bootstrap architecture where six Markdown files load in a specific boot order, establishing continuity and memory handling mechanisms that prevent behavioral drift.

How do I bootstrap a new OpenClaw agent identity?

To bootstrap a new OpenClaw agent identity, populate SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md, TOOLS.md, and BOOTSTRAP.md according to the provided guidelines, applying per-agent overrides to customize the persona.

Can I customize individual agent behavior rules without altering the base soul?

Yes, you can customize individual agent behavior rules using per-agent overrides, allowing you to adjust operational rules and identity configurations independently of the foundational SOUL.md and IDENTITY.md bootstrap architecture.

Why does my agent persona drift across different sessions and deploys?

Agent persona drift across sessions occurs when bootstrap files lack defined structure and memory handling continuity, which this identity system prevents by standardizing how agents think and persist identity using six Markdown templates.

Do I need any dependencies to start building an agent identity system?

No dependencies are required to start building an agent identity system, as the bootstrap process only requires populating the six Markdown files (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md, TOOLS.md, BOOTSTRAP.md) to establish the architecture.
