Build, bootstrap, and maintain a stable OpenClaw default agent identity by interviewing the user, updating IDENTITY.md, and seeding core context files (AGENT...
Usage Guidance
This skill is internally coherent and appears safe to use, but it will read and write files at your workspace root (IDENTITY.md, AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, etc.). Before running: 1) back up or version-control your workspace so you can review diffs; 2) avoid pasting secrets or sensitive credentials into answers during the interview; 3) confirm any automated file updates before committing changes; and 4) if you want stricter control, ask the agent to show proposed file contents and require your explicit approval before writing.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: openclaw-default-agent-backstory Version: 1.0.0 This skill bundle is designed to help an OpenClaw agent establish and maintain its identity and context files. The `SKILL.md` and supporting documentation (`references/bootstrap-core-files.md`, `references/question-bank.md`) clearly define instructions for the agent to read existing context files, interview the user, and then write or update specific Markdown files (`IDENTITY.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, etc.) and create a `memory/` directory. All file operations are directly aligned with the stated purpose of building and refining agent identity. There is no evidence of intent for data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or prompt injection designed to subvert the agent's core function or access unrelated sensitive data. The instructions are explicit about the files to be written and the type of content, which is necessary for the skill's functionality.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (agent backstory, bootstrap identity) match the actual instructions: ask questions, synthesize answers, and create/update core context files (AGENTS.md, IDENTITY.md, SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, etc.). No unrelated credentials, binaries, or external services are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs reading and writing workspace files and asking five focused questions. It does not direct the agent to read unrelated system files, fetch data from external endpoints, or access hidden env vars. It specifies preservation of user-authored content and clear limits on invented personal history.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files to write/execute — instruction-only skill (lowest install risk).
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. Files touched are limited to standard workspace context files documented in the skill; these are proportionate to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled and does not request elevated platform privileges. Its behavior is limited to creating/updating workspace files (its intended scope).
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install openclaw-default-agent-backstory
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /openclaw-default-agent-backstory
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
