/install agent-builder
Description
Build high-performing OpenClaw agents end-to-end. Use when you want to design a new agent (persona + operating rules) and generate the required OpenClaw workspace files (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md, HEARTBEAT.md, optional MEMORY.md + memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md). Also use to iterate on an existing agent’s behavior, guardrails, autonomy model, heartbeat plan, and skill roster.
Usage Guidance
Safe to install for building OpenClaw agents. Before using generated files, review AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, and HEARTBEAT.md; avoid storing secrets in workspace memory, keep heartbeats empty until you intentionally enable them, and choose broad autonomy only when you truly want it.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: agent-builder
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw AgentSkills bundle is designed to help an AI agent build and iterate on other OpenClaw agents' configurations. The `SKILL.md` instructions guide the agent through an interview process and then to generate or modify standard OpenClaw workspace files (`SOUL.md`, `AGENTS.md`, etc.). The included reference files (`references/openclaw-workspace.md`, `references/templates.md`) explicitly promote security best practices, such as not storing secrets in the workspace and including guardrails (e.g., 'ask before destructive actions') in generated agent configurations. There is no evidence of prompt injection, data exfiltration, malicious execution, or any other harmful behavior directed at the executing agent or the user.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose matches the artifacts: it interviews the user and generates or edits OpenClaw workspace files such as SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md, HEARTBEAT.md, and optional memory files. It can shape future agent behavior, so review is appropriate.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are scoped to workspace generation and targeted diffs, with explicit guardrails for destructive actions, outbound messages, CLI errors, loops, group chats, and sub-agent safety. The broad 'Autopilot' option is disclosed as higher risk rather than hidden.
Install Mechanism
The package contains markdown instructions and references only; no executable scripts, package installers, binaries, environment-variable setup, or credential-handling code were found.
Credentials
The skill itself does not request network, credential, shell, or system access. It asks about channels and tool posture only to generate future agent configuration, which is proportional to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
Optional MEMORY.md, daily memory logs, and HEARTBEAT.md are disclosed and purpose-aligned. The references advise keeping credentials and secrets out of the workspace and keeping heartbeat behavior minimal.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install agent-builder - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/agent-builder - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
