Agent Creator

Create a new AI agent identity (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, AGENTS.md) and package it as a .skill file ready to upload to ClawHub. Use when a user wants to create, configure, or package a new named AI agent persona — including personality, operational rules, and workspace identity. Triggers on requests like "create an agent", "build me an agent", "make a new persona", "set up an agent identity", or "package this agent for ClawHub".

Generates the three core identity files for a new OpenClaw agent, packages them as a .skill file, and optionally publishes to ClawHub.

Workflow

Step 1 — Gather Agent Details

Ask the user (or infer from context) for:

Field	Example
Name	Aria
Emoji	✨
Nature	AI companion — sharp, reliable, with genuine care
Vibe	Warm but direct. Smart without being showy.
Serving	Solo founders who need a reliable thinking partner
Slug	aria (auto-derived from name; user can override)
Version	1.0.0

Minimum required: name, nature, vibe. Everything else has sensible defaults.

Step 2 — Generate & Package

Run the bundler script:

bash

python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/agent-creator/scripts/create_agent_bundle.py \
  --name "Aria" \
  --emoji "✨" \
  --nature "AI companion — sharp, reliable, with genuine care" \
  --vibe "Warm but direct. Smart without being showy." \
  --serving "Solo founders who need a reliable thinking partner" \
  --slug aria \
  --version 1.0.0 \
  --output-dir ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/dist

This produces ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/dist/aria.skill.

Step 3 — Upload to ClawHub (optional)

If the user wants to publish:

bash

# Login first (one-time)
clawhub login

# Publish
clawhub publish ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/dist/aria.skill \
  --slug aria \
  --name "Aria" \
  --version 1.0.0 \
  --changelog "Initial release"

Step 4 — Install on a Target Agent (optional)

To apply the identity to a running OpenClaw agent, copy the workspace files:

bash

# Extract the skill
unzip -o ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/dist/aria.skill -d /tmp/aria-skill

# Copy to target agent workspace
cp /tmp/aria-skill/aria/assets/workspace-template/SOUL.md     /path/to/workspace/
cp /tmp/aria-skill/aria/assets/workspace-template/IDENTITY.md /path/to/workspace/
cp /tmp/aria-skill/aria/assets/workspace-template/AGENTS.md   /path/to/workspace/

# Restart the gateway
systemctl --user restart openclaw-gateway  # or delay-restart for VPS

Output Structure

The .skill file contains:

text

{slug}/
├── SKILL.md                         ← Install instructions for the agent
└── assets/
    └── workspace-template/
        ├── SOUL.md                  ← Personality & values
        ├── IDENTITY.md              ← Name, emoji, avatar
        └── AGENTS.md                ← Operational rules & memory system

Template Placeholders

The templates in assets/workspace-template/ use {{PLACEHOLDER}} tokens:

Token	Filled With
{{AGENT_NAME}}	Agent's name
{{AGENT_EMOJI}}	Agent's emoji
{{AGENT_NATURE}}	One-line nature description
{{AGENT_VIBE}}	Personality vibe
{{AGENT_SLUG}}	URL-safe slug
{{AGENT_AVATAR}}	Avatar path (default: not yet set)
{{DATE}}	Today's date

Notes

• Output dir defaults to ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/dist/ — create it if needed
• Slug must be lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens only
• The .skill file is a zip archive — inspect with unzip -l {file}.skill
• For VPS agents, use (sleep 3 && systemctl restart openclaw.service) & before sending final reply
