What is persona-import?

A migration tool for converting a Paperclip agent directory into the file layout used by WoterClip, two systems for defining and running AI agents.

Use it to import SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, HEARTBEAT.md, and TOOLS.md from a Paperclip agent after initializing WoterClip.

It saves you from manually copying agent identity, rules, and tool instructions between incompatible folder formats. It also leaves out Paperclip-specific files that WoterClip does not use.

Token cost

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	$0.00059	$0.01208
Opus 5	$0.00030	$0.00604
Sonnet 5	$0.00012	$0.00242
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00121

Security

Grade A, and why

persona-import 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.

Import Persona from Paperclip

Convert a Paperclip agent directory into a WoterClip persona. Maps Paperclip's agent structure (SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, HEARTBEAT.md, TOOLS.md) to WoterClip's persona structure (SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, config.yaml).

Prerequisites

.woterclip/config.yaml must exist (run /woterclip-init first)
User must provide the path to the Paperclip agent directory

File Mapping

Paperclip File	WoterClip Target	What to Import
`SOUL.md`	`SOUL.md`	Copy as-is — identity, posture, voice
`HEARTBEAT.md`	Append to `SOUL.md`	Only the role-specific responsibilities section (bottom). Skip the generic heartbeat procedure (top) — replaced by the plugin's heartbeat skill
`AGENTS.md`	`config.yaml` + `SOUL.md`	Safety rules → append to SOUL.md Boundaries section. Workspace paths → drop. Memory refs → drop
`TOOLS.md`	`TOOLS.md`	Copy, replacing Paperclip API references with `gh` CLI equivalents
`life/`, `memory/`	Skip	Claude Code has built-in memory

Import Procedure

Step 1: Read Source

Ask the user for the Paperclip agent directory path. Read all files present:

SOUL.md (required)
AGENTS.md (optional)
HEARTBEAT.md (optional)
TOOLS.md (optional)

If SOUL.md doesn't exist, stop — this is not a valid Paperclip agent directory.

Step 2: Ask for Persona Details

Ask the user:

Persona name — e.g., "Backend Engineer" (pre-fill from SOUL.md if obvious)
GitHub label — e.g., backend (must be unique)
Role type — engineer, orchestrator, analyst, or custom
Model — opus, sonnet, or haiku (suggest based on role)
Escalates to — default: ceo

Step 3: Transform SOUL.md

Start with the Paperclip SOUL.md content
From HEARTBEAT.md: extract the role-specific section (usually the bottom half, after the generic heartbeat steps). Append as a "## Working Style" or "## Role Responsibilities" section
From AGENTS.md: extract safety rules and boundaries. Append to the "## Boundaries" section
Add a WoterClip-specific "## Quality Checklist" section if not present
Drop any Paperclip-specific references (workspace paths, PARA memory, budget tracking)

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.
