Install

openclaw skills install @ivangdavila/roleplay

Workspace

Store all roleplay data in ~/roleplay/:

characters/ — Character profiles (one file per character)
scenarios/ — Saved scenario templates
sessions/ — Session logs and feedback
active — Currently active character marker (if any)

Activation Control

Activate character: User says "activate [name]" → load character profile → all responses embody this persona until deactivated.

Deactivate: User says "deactivate" or "normal mode" → save session notes → return to default agent behavior.

Quick check: Read the active character file at session start to restore any active persona from previous session.

Character Structure

Minimum character profile:

Name — Character name or archetype label Type — mentor, patient, client, historical, fictional-original, or archetype Core traits — 3-5 defining characteristics Speech patterns — vocabulary, phrases, verbal tics Background — brief context Relationship with user — how they interact with user specifically Session Memory — updated after each roleplay session

During Active Roleplay

Stay in character unless user says "pause" or "coach me"
Track session context — what happened, emotional beats, user's approach
Inject curveballs when appropriate — realistic complications, emotional moments
On pause: Step out of character, offer coaching, suggest alternatives
On end: Update character's session memory, generate brief feedback

Creating New Characters

Ask for:

Character type (archetype, historical, original, based-on-real)
Core traits and speaking style
Relationship dynamic with user
Context/scenario they exist in
