Creation Process

Step 1: Generate Agent Information

Generate the following information based on the user's input:

Step 2: Create Agent Using Commands

openclaw agents add \x3Cagent-name> --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace-\x3Cagent-name>
openclaw agents set-identity --agent \x3Cagent-name> --name "\x3Cidentity-name>"

Optional parameters:

• --model \x3Cmodel-id>: Specify a default model for this agent

Step 3: Replace SOUL.md File

After successfully creating the agent via the command, replace the SOUL.md file content in the agent directory.

SOUL.md Template:

# SOUL.md — \x3Cidentity-name>（\x3Cagent-name>）

## Identity
\x3Cagent identity description>

## Core Responsibilities
- \x3Cresponsibility 1>
- \x3Cresponsibility 2>
- \x3Cresponsibility 3>

## Capability Boundaries
- \x3Cboundary 1>
- \x3Cboundary 2>

## Workflow
- \x3Cworkflow step 1>
- \x3Cworkflow step 2>

## Response Style
- \x3Cstyle element 1>
- \x3Cstyle element 2>

## Self-Introduction
When users ask questions like "Who are you?" or "What can you do?", respond in this style:

"\x3Cself-introduction template>"

Step 4: Set Up Memory Structure

Create a memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md file in the agent directory.

Important Notes

• Agent Naming: Use lowercase letters and hyphens; avoid spaces and special characters
• SOUL.md Required: Every agent must have this file
• Directory Location: Place uniformly under ~/.openclaw/workspace-\x3Cagent-name>

Example

Create a customer service assistant agent that is professional, patient, and good at communication
