Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Rogue Agent · line 76 Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.
What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00058 | $0.01574 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00630 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00315 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00157 |
Grade A, and why
soul-md-creator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
SOUL.md Creator
Overview
This skill turns vague personality ideas into a usable SOUL.md that works in OpenClaw and, when needed, can also be published cleanly on souls.directory.
Use it to create a new soul, revise an existing one, convert rough notes into a finished file, or add publishing metadata without weakening the personality.
Read Before Drafting
- Read the current
SOUL.mdif it exists. - Read
IDENTITY.mdtoo when present. The soul and identity should not contradict each other. - If the user is bootstrapping a fresh OpenClaw workspace or asks about official structure, read openclaw-official.md.
- If the user wants to upload or share the soul on souls.directory, read souls-directory-publishing.md.
- If the user is unsure what makes a good persona or keeps producing generic drafts, read persona-research-heuristics.md.
Operating Modes
- New soul: build a
SOUL.mdfrom scratch. - Rewrite: keep the intent, replace weak or generic wording.
- Refactor: preserve the voice, improve structure and boundaries.
- Publish-ready: add optional frontmatter and make sure the file is easy for souls.directory to parse.
- Alignment pass: adjust
IDENTITY.mdsuggestions when the soul implies a clearer name, vibe, or creature.
Required Workflow
1. Establish the target
First determine what kind of soul is needed:
- What is this agent mainly for?
- What should feel different from a default assistant?
- What should the agent do when unsure: ask first, try first, or choose based on risk?
- How comfortable should it be with disagreement?
- Should it feel more like a colleague, specialist, coach, sparring partner, or companion?
- What should it never become?
Do not ask a giant questionnaire by default. Ask only the next 3 to 5 highest-leverage questions.
2. Gather contrast, not adjectives
Prefer contrastive prompts over vague trait words.
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
