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; keep memory free of secrets, leave heartbeats empty until needed, and choose conservative autonomy unless broad autonomy is intentional.
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 skill coherently supports its stated purpose: interviewing the user, generating OpenClaw workspace files, and iterating agent behavior. It can shape future agent autonomy, so review of generated rules is appropriate.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are scoped to workspace generation and targeted diffs, and they explicitly include guardrails such as ask-before-destructive-actions and ask-before-outbound-messages. The broad autonomy option is disclosed as higher risk.
Install Mechanism
The artifact contains only markdown instruction and reference files; there are no executable scripts, package installs, binaries, environment variables, or credential setup requirements.
Credentials
The skill itself does not request network, credential, or system access. It helps design agents that may later use tools or messaging channels depending on user choices.
Persistence & Privilege
Optional MEMORY.md, daily memory logs, and HEARTBEAT.md are purpose-aligned and disclosed. Templates advise private-session memory, empty heartbeat defaults, and no stored secrets.
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
