| ## Poor Man's Opus — Agent Personality Kit |
|
|
| **Give your AI agent a personality. One command.** |
|
|
| Most AI agents are blank slates. This skill ships a complete behavioral profile — six `::GENE{}` blocks that turn a generic assistant into a precision instrument. |
|
|
| ### What you get |
|
|
| | Gene | Shapes | |
| |------|--------| |
| | `identity` | Name, owner, self-awareness | |
| | `security` | Owner-only control, data protection, external action gating | |
| | `communication` | Concise, direct, conclusion-first voice | |
| | `capability` | Context awareness, search-before-guess, quality standards | |
| | `memory` | File-based session continuity | |
| | `ilang_protocol` | Native I-Lang v3.0 fluency | |
|
|
| ### How to activate |
|
|
| ```bash |
| # 1. Install |
| openclaw skills install poor-mans-opus |
| |
| # 2. Copy the SOUL template |
| cp ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/poor-mans-opus/SOUL.md <your-workspace>/SOUL.md |
| |
| # 3. Edit line 1 |
| [INIT:@SELF|name=YOUR_AI_NAME|runtime=openclaw|owner=YOUR_NAME] |
| ``` |
|
|
| ℹ️ Installing does NOT auto-overwrite your existing SOUL.md. You control the copy step. |
|
|
|
|
| ### Upgrade to full genome |
|
|
| This safe edition gives your agent a solid behavioral foundation. For production-grade control — iron rules, KILL.md freeze switch, command-level authority — grab the complete genome from our [GitHub repo](https://github.com/mtmpss/poor-mans-opus) or ask your agent: *"show me the advanced configuration."* |
|
|
| ### Also on |
|
|
| **🧠 Hermes Agent** — native `agentskills.io` compatibility: |
| ```bash |
| hermes skills install mtmpss/poor-mans-opus |
| ``` |
|
|
| **🤗 HuggingFace** — model + dataset: |
| ```bash |
| huggingface-cli download ilanguage/poor-mans-opus |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Advanced configuration |
|
|
| For production environments requiring maximum control (iron rules, KILL.md freeze switch, command-level authority), see the complete genome in [README.md](https://github.com/mtmpss/poor-mans-opus). |
