name: soul-agent description: "Initialize, repair, and maintain an OpenClaw-first soul runtime in a workspace. Use when you need a standard soul/ directory, reusable companion profile templates, interactive bootstrap with defaults, and managed block sync for SOUL.md, HEARTBEAT.md, and AGENTS.md."

soul-agent

Provide an OpenClaw-first soul package that is init-able, repairable, and extensible.

• Write runtime data into workspace soul/
• Default scope is main; subagents are opt-in and user-controlled

Workflow

1. Diagnose first:

python ./scripts/doctor_soul.py --workspace <workspace-root>

1. Auto mode (recommended):

python ./scripts/init_soul.py --workspace <workspace-root> --mode auto

1. Manual modes (optional):

python ./scripts/init_soul.py --workspace <workspace-root> --mode init
python ./scripts/init_soul.py --workspace <workspace-root> --mode repair --non-interactive
python ./scripts/init_soul.py --workspace <workspace-root> --mode migrate --non-interactive

Initialization Behavior

• --mode auto:
  • init if soul/ is missing
  • migrate if legacy soul/skills is detected
  • repair otherwise
• If soul/ is missing and --non-interactive is not set, prompt for soul base fields.
• Every field accepts Enter for default.
• Print a default vs current diff summary.
• Generate soul/profile/*, soul/state/*, and soul/log/* from templates.
• Default policy is fill-missing-only; pass --overwrite-existing to overwrite existing files.
• Auto-sync managed blocks in:
  • SOUL.md (workspace-first runtime loading)
  • HEARTBEAT.md (heartbeat read contract)
  • AGENTS.md (main-default runtime contract)

Template Sources

• Default profile: assets/default-profile.json
• Profile index template: assets/templates/soul_INDEX.md
• Profile templates: assets/templates/profile/*

Safety Rules

• Edit managed blocks only; do not mutate user-owned content outside those blocks.
• Write only inside the current workspace and soul/.
• Do not maintain engineering notes; this skill only owns soul/profile, soul/state, and soul/log.
