openclaw-maker

A Claude Code skill that interviews you and generates the three foundational config files for an OpenClaw personal agent: SOUL.md, USER.md, IDENTITY.md.

Takes about 5–10 minutes. Works in English or Hebrew (it mirrors whatever language you start in).

Heads up — this is an MVP, not a polished product. I built it for a friend, in one sitting, the day before his demo. It works for the core 3 files but doesn't do AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, HEARTBEAT.md, MEMORY.md, or BOOTSTRAP.md — those you write by hand for now. Don't expect support, updates, or anything else from me. If it breaks, just delete the folder and edit the files yourself; OpenClaw doesn't care how the markdown gets there.

Install

Open Claude Code on your Mac (any directory works) and paste this:

Clone https://github.com/mbkaufman-ctrl/openclaw-maker into ~/.claude/skills/openclaw-maker, then list my available skills to confirm openclaw-maker is loaded. Once it's there, run the skill on me.

If Claude Code says it can't see the skill yet, start a new session — skills get picked up at session start.

What it does

1. Asks where to write the files (default: ~/.openclaw/workspace/).
2. Walks you through 8 short questions — your name, timezone, projects, how you work, what your agent should be like, what it should never do.
3. Shows you a preview of the three files.
4. Writes them when you say "ship it."

That's it. Open OpenClaw afterward and the agent will have a personality.

Updating

If I change the skill, run this in Claude Code:

cd ~/.claude/skills/openclaw-maker && git pull, then restart so the skill reloads.
