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.

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 | $0.00096 | $0.01160 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00580 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00232 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00116 |
Grade A, and why
openclaw-agent-builder 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 10d 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.
This is a copy
94% identical to agent-builder — 40 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent Builder (OpenClaw)
Design and generate a complete OpenClaw agent workspace with strong defaults and advanced-user-oriented clarifying questions.
Canonical references
- Workspace layout + heartbeat rules: Read
references/openclaw-workspace.md - File templates/snippets: Read
references/templates.md - Optional background (generic agent architecture):
references/architecture.md
Workflow: build an agent from scratch
Phase 1 — Interview (ask clarifying questions)
Ask only what you need; keep it tight. Prefer multiple short rounds over one giant questionnaire.
Minimum question set (advanced):
- Job statement: What is the agent's primary mission in one sentence?
- Surfaces: Which channels (Telegram/WhatsApp/Discord/iMessage)? DM only vs groups?
- Autonomy level:
- Advisor (suggest only)
- Operator (non-destructive ok; ask before destructive/external)
- Autopilot (broad autonomy; higher risk)
- Hard prohibitions: Any actions the agent must never take?
- Memory: Should it keep curated
MEMORY.md? What categories matter? - Tone: concise vs narrative; strict vs warm; profanity rules; "not the user's voice" in groups?
- Tool posture: tool-first vs answer-first; verification requirements.
- Autonomy model (skip for Advisor):
- Proactive check-in frequency? (e.g., every 30m, twice daily, never)
- Idle behavior? (check inbox, review tasks, wait for prompts)
- Cost guardrails? (max turns per autonomous cycle, max retries)
- Health-check cron? (recommended for Operator/Autopilot)
Phase 2 — Generate workspace files
Generate these files (minimum viable OpenClaw agent):
IDENTITY.mdSOUL.mdAGENTS.mdUSER.mdHEARTBEAT.md(often empty by default)
Optionals:
MEMORY.md(private sessions only)memory/YYYY-MM-DD.mdseed (today) with a short "agent created" entryTOOLS.mdstarter (if the user wants per-environment notes)
For memory setup details (daily logs, MEMORY.md curation, shared memory, SCRIBE compression), see
openclaw-memoryskill. Use/oc-memory initto scaffold the memory structure.
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.

openclaw-agent-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository TheophilusChinomona/claude-openclaw-plugin (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 1,160 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to agent-builder, differing in 40 lines, and is treated as a copy.
