Model Behavior Layer (Ares MBL)
What it does
- 8 named failure modes with exact rationalizations and counter-instructions (from Claude Code verificationAgent.ts pattern)
- 3-layer cognitive performance framework (context injection + output rules + critique loop)
- Drop-in system prompt block under 700 tokens for any model
How to use
1. Drop-in system prompt (fastest)
Read MAKE_ANY_MODEL_CLAUDE.md in this skill directory. Copy the "Drop-In System Prompt" block at the end. Paste into your SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, or any system prompt.
2. Full guide
Read MAKE_ANY_MODEL_CLAUDE.md section by section. Apply the failure mode framework progressively.
3. Model-specific
Jump to the Model-Specific Notes section for GPT-5.4, Gemini, or Codex weighting guidance.
When to use this skill
- Switching from Claude to GPT-5.4 or Gemini
- New agent setup (add the drop-in block to SOUL.md)
- Current model is sycophantic, padding responses, or not completing tasks
- Deploying OpenClaw for others who may be on non-Claude models
Source
