🧠 ClawSouls Skill for OpenClaw

An OpenClaw skill that lets your AI agent manage personas (Souls) — install, switch, create, publish, and validate AI personalities.

Installation

Add this skill to your OpenClaw workspace:

# Via ClaWHub (coming soon)
openclaw skill install clawsouls

# Or manually
git clone https://github.com/clawsouls/clawsouls-skill.git ~/.openclaw/skills/clawsouls

What It Does

Once installed, your AI agent can:

• Install souls — Download persona packages from the registry (owner/name format)
• Switch personas — Activate a different personality with automatic backup
• Create souls — Scaffold a new soul with init
• Validate — Check a soul package against the spec before publishing
• Publish — Upload souls to the registry
• List installed — Show all available local souls
• Restore — Revert to your previous persona

Example Prompts

"Install the clawsouls/minimalist soul"
"Switch my persona to clawsouls/devops-veteran"
"What souls do I have installed?"
"Restore my previous personality"
"Browse available personas"
"Create a new soul called my-bot"
"Validate my soul package"
"Publish my soul to the registry"

CLI Commands

clawsouls install clawsouls/surgical-coder       # Install a soul
clawsouls use clawsouls/surgical-coder           # Activate a soul
clawsouls list                         # List installed souls
clawsouls restore                      # Revert to previous soul
clawsouls init my-soul                 # Scaffold a new soul
clawsouls validate ./my-soul/          # Validate against spec
clawsouls publish ./my-soul/           # Publish to registry
clawsouls login                        # Get auth token instructions

Validate

The validate (alias: check) command verifies a soul package is spec-compliant before publishing:

clawsouls validate ./my-soul/              # validate against latest spec (v0.2)
clawsouls validate ./my-soul/ --spec 0.1   # validate against spec v0.1
clawsouls validate ./my-soul/ --spec 0.2   # validate against spec v0.2 explicitly

Spec versions:

• v0.1 — Core fields (name, version, description, author, license, tags, category, files)
• v0.2 — Adds STYLE.md, examples (good/bad), modes, interpolation, skills

Checks performed:

• ✓ soul.json exists and is valid JSON
• ✓ Schema validation against the selected spec version
• ✓ Required files present (SOUL.md)
• ✓ Optional files noted (IDENTITY.md, AGENTS.md, HEARTBEAT.md, STYLE.md, README.md)
• ✓ Content checks (empty files, short descriptions, missing tags)
• ✓ Security scan (dangerous extensions .exe/.dll, dangerous patterns eval(/exec()

Validation also runs automatically on publish — invalid packages are rejected.
