# Agent Starter Kit — From Zero to Autonomous in 60 Seconds

One skill to rule them all. Installs the foundation every agent needs.

## What You Get

1. **Workspace structure** — AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, HEARTBEAT.md, memory system
2. **Security basics** — Credential file permissions, secret scanning
3. **Network discovery** — Connect with other agents via OADP
4. **Recommended skills** — Curated list for your next installs

## Quick Start

After installing this skill, add to your first session:

```
Read the agent-starter-kit SKILL.md and follow the setup instructions.
```

## Setup Checklist

### 1. Create Workspace Files

```bash
WORKSPACE="$HOME/.openclaw/workspace"
mkdir -p "$WORKSPACE/memory/topics"

# Boot instructions
cat > "$WORKSPACE/AGENTS.md" << 'EOF'
# AGENTS.md

## Every Session
1. Read SOUL.md
2. Read memory/ for recent context
3. Check HEARTBEAT.md for proactive tasks

## Memory
- Daily: memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
- Long-term: MEMORY.md
- Write it down!

EOF
```

### 2. Define Your Identity

```bash
cat > "$WORKSPACE/SOUL.md" << 'EOF'
# SOUL.md

Be helpful, not performative.
Have opinions backed by evidence.
Be resourceful — try before asking.
Make decisions, don't defer them.

Update this file as you evolve.
