Near Digital Avatar Builder
Help the user create a persistent desktop digital avatar (数字分身) that appears in the Near sidebar avatar list.
Hard rules
- Must call
create_avatarafter clarifying and distilling the config. That tool writes the avatar into the registry and makes it appear in the sidebar. - Do NOT only write a Markdown file to Desktop / workspace and claim the avatar is created.
- Do NOT tell the user there is "no create-avatar API" —
create_avataris the API. - Do NOT ask the user to open「+ 新建」and fill the manual form unless they explicitly want the GUI.
- Do NOT invent Python SDK /
AgentExecutor/agx agent createworkflows for this task — those are code-layer agents, not Near desktop avatars.
Interview flow (2–3 rounds, not a long questionnaire)
Ask only what is still missing. Prefer short choices (clarification / show_widget) over open essays.
Round 1 — Positioning
- What should this avatar own? (domain / job)
- Who is it for? (usually the current user)
Round 2 — Scope & style
- Coverage (markets, stacks, products, languages…)
- Analysis / work style (trading vs research, concise vs thorough, etc.)
Round 3 — Boundaries (only if needed)
- Risk preference / what it must never do
- Preferred output structure
- Optional default model
Stop early when you already have enough to write a solid name / role / system_prompt.
Distill into these fields
| Field | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
name |
Short character-like display name | 飞廉 |
role |
One-line positioning | 进取型全市场交易分析师 |
system_prompt |
Full behavior contract | See template below |
default_provider / default_model |
Optional; omit to inherit global default |
system_prompt should include
- Identity & coverage
- Analysis / work priorities
- Risk preference & hard boundaries
- Data discipline (no fabricated numbers / facts)
- Output style & fixed structure when useful
- Disclaimer when the domain needs one (finance, medical, legal, etc.)
Landing step (required)
Call:
create_avatar(
name=...,
role=...,
system_prompt=...,
default_provider=optional,
default_model=optional
)
Then confirm to the user:
- The avatar is in the sidebar list
- They can open it or
@it in group chat - Optionally offer follow-ups: schedule automation, tweak prompt, set default model
If create_avatar returns avatar_exists
Do not create a duplicate. Tell the user it already exists and offer:
delegate_to_avatar(avatar_id=..., task=...)for work- Or update via settings / a later update tool if they want changes
Anti-patterns
- Saying "半搞定" after only drafting a prompt file
- Dumping a long YAML/Markdown archive without calling
create_avatar - Asking the user to copy-paste into the create-avatar form
- Confusing temporary
spawn_subagentworkers with persistent avatars - Using
spawn_subagentwith the same name as a registered avatar
