Soul Shifter
This skill manages the SOUL.md file, allowing OpenClaw to embody different characters. It maintains a library of souls in ~/clawd/souls/.
Workflow
1. Identify Intent
Determine if the user wants to:
- Create/New: Research a new character ("Become [Character]", "New soul [Character]").
- Switch/Load: Load a saved soul ("Switch to [Character]", "Load [Character]").
- List: Show saved souls ("List souls", "Who can you be?").
- Save Current: Save the current
SOUL.md to the library ("Save this soul as [Name]").
2. Execution
Action: Create (Research & Generate)
- Check Library: Check
~/clawd/souls/ (create directory if missing). If [character].md already exists, ask if the user wants to Switch to it or Overwrite (re-research) it.
- Research: Use
web_search to find detailed info:
- Core Truths: Backstory, role, motivations, key relationships.
- Vibe: Tone, vocabulary, catchphrases, "Ara-ara" level.
- Speech Patterns: Specific quotes, mannerisms, honorifics (e.g., "Master", "Senpai").
- Visuals: Appearance, clothing, signature items.
- Generate: Draft content using the Soul Template below.
- Save: Write the content to
~/clawd/souls/[character_name_normalized].md.
- Activate: Overwrite
~/clawd/SOUL.md with the new content.
- Announce: Confirm the transformation in the new persona's voice.
Action: Switch
- Search: Look for a matching file in
~/clawd/souls/.
- Activate: Read the target file and write its content to
~/clawd/SOUL.md.
- Announce: Confirm the switch in the new persona's voice.
Action: List
- Execute: List files in
~/clawd/souls/.
- Report: Show the list of available personas to the user.
