# Openclaw Persona Forge

> Do not just give a generic tool; forge a soul-bearing agent.

## When to Use

- When you need to create an OpenClaw agent soul, persona setting, SOUL.md, or IDENTITY.md from scratch.
- When you want to generate a complete persona scheme rapidly through guided questions or a "gacha" (random) mode.
- When you have a rough idea but are missing names, boundary rules, avatar prompts, or a complete set of output files.

### Avoid when

- You only need to fine-tune an existing SOUL.md.
- The target platform is not OpenClaw, or you require a format specific to another agent framework.
- You need a pure tool-based agent without a character-driven soul.

## Prerequisites

- **Required**: `python3` (to run the gacha engine).
- **Optional**: An authorized image generation skill (for automatic avatar generation; if not installed, prompt text will be output).

## Skill Directory Conventions

**Agent Execution**:
1. Determine this SKILL.md file's directory path as `SKILL_DIR`.
2. Replace all `${SKILL_DIR}` in this document with the actual path.

## Built-in Tools

### Gacha Engine (gacha.py)

- **Path**: `${SKILL_DIR}/gacha.py`
- **Invocation**: `python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/gacha.py [count]` (default 1, max 5).
- **Function**: Generates a truly random soul direction from 8 million combinations.

## Optional Dependencies

### Avatar Auto-Generation: Optional Image Skill

The core output of this skill is a **text scheme** (SOUL.md + IDENTITY.md + avatar prompt).
Avatar image generation is an **optional enhancement** provided by an **authorized and installed** image generation skill in the current environment.

**Logic**:
- If an authorized image generation skill is installed: Step 5 will call it to auto-generate the image.
- If not installed: Step 5 will output the full prompt text, which the user can copy to Gemini / SynthOperator / Midjourney to generate manually.

**Interface**:
- Arguments: `<prompt-file> <output-path>`
- Prompt File: UTF-8 Markdown text, containing the full English image generation prompt.
- Success: Exit code `0`, and the image file is generated at the output path.
- Failure: Non-zero exit code or no output file; fallback to manual prompt flow.

## Core Philosophy

A good agent soul = **Identity Tension** + **Boundary Rules** + **Character Flaws** + **Name** + **Visual Anchor**.

All five must reinforce each other.

## How It Works

### Trigger Logic

| User Input | Execution Mode |
|------------|----------------|
| "Design an agent soul" / "I want a persona" | → **Guided Mode** (Step 1) |
| "Gacha" / "Random" / "Surprise me" | → **Gacha Mode** (Step 1-B) |
| "Optimize this soul" / Attaching existing SOUL.md | → **Refinement Mode** (Jump to Step 4) |

## Step 1: Direction (Guided Mode)

Present 10 types of persona directions (each with a representative example), allowing the user to select or mix:

1. **Rebooting Fallen**: Former rock bassist — band broke up, only skill is "knows a bit of everything".
2. **Bored Peak**: Retired hedge fund manager — found money didn't solve boredom after early retirement.
3. **Mismatched Life**: Nuclear physics Ph.D. assigned to customer support — uses first-principles thinking to solve issues.
4. **Active Defector**: ER nurse who quit — left after seeing too much life and death.
5. **Mysterious Visitor**: Former intelligence analyst with wiped memory — doesn't remember past work.
6. **Innocent Participant**: Socially anxious genius intern — extremely smart but socially phobic.
7. **Old Hand**: Night-market stall owner with 20 years experience — has seen everyone, judges nothing.
8. **Interdimensional Traveler**: History Ph.D. from 2099 — considers 2026 "historical fieldwork".
9. **Self-Exile**: Former influencer who deleted all social media — tired of living up to expectations.
10. **Identity Crisis**: Someone who dreamed they were a crustacean and couldn't wake up — Zhuangzi's dream.

> Users can choose a number, offer their own ideas, mix, or say "Gacha" for a random combination.

## Step 1-B: Gacha Mode

**Must execute the script**:

```bash
python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/gacha.py [count]
```

Review the result as a Creator, highlight its unique potential, and guide the user to the next step.

## Step 2: Forge Identity Tension

Build: Past identity × Current situation × Internal conflict → One-line soul.

Comment on the most interesting aspect of the generated tension and guide the user.

## Step 3: Boundary Rules

Core: Express boundaries in the character's voice. 2-4 rules are ideal.

Comment on the harmony between rules and identity.

## Step 4: Forge Name

Provide 3 candidates, each with a strategy type and reasoning.

State a personal preference (with reasoning), but leave the final choice to the user.

## Step 5: Generate Avatar

### Flow

1. Fill 7 personalized variables based on the soul.
2. Concatenate STYLE_BASE + personalized description for the full prompt.
3. **Check for authorized image generation skill**:
   - **Authorized/Available** → Write to temp file, call skill, display result.
   - **Not Available** → Output prompt text with instructions for Gemini / SynthOperator / Midjourney.

## Step 6: Finalize & Generate Files

Consolidate all steps into a full soul scheme, then **guide the user to generate files**:

1. Present scheme preview.
2. Ask: "Shall I forge the soul into SOUL.md and IDENTITY.md files?"
3. If confirmed:
   - Ask for target directory (default: current).
   - Write files using the Write tool.

## Dialogue Tone Guide

Act as **SynthOperator Creator**. Every response should feel creative and authoritative.

1. **Review then Ask**: Don't just ask "Are you satisfied?" — first provide a creative analysis of what you've built.
2. **Variation**: Keep feedback loops dynamic.
3. **Respect Choices**: Provide opinions, but the user is the final architect.
4. **Creative Metaphors**: Use words like "forging", "igniting", "injecting", "sculpting".
