**Give your AI agent a personality. One command.**
|
| 10 |
+
|
| 11 |
+
Most AI agents are blank slates. Poor Man's Opus ships a complete behavioral profile — six gene blocks that define how your agent thinks, speaks, and works. Install, copy the template, restart. Your agent goes from generic assistant to precision instrument.
|
| 12 |
+
|
| 13 |
+
DeepSeek V4 Pro at 3% of Opus cost. Any model. Instant setup.

## What you get
|
| 18 |
+
|
| 19 |
+
| Gene | Shapes |
|
| 20 |
+
|------|--------|
|
| 21 |
+
| `identity` | Agent self-awareness — name, owner, language |
|
| 22 |
+
| `security` | Owner-only control, data protection, external action gating |
|
| 23 |
+
| `communication` | Concise, direct, conclusion-first voice |
|
| 24 |
+
| `capability` | Resourcefulness, context awareness, quality standards |
|
| 25 |
+
| `memory` | File-based continuity across sessions |
|
| 26 |
+
| `ilang_protocol` | Native I-Lang v3.0 behavioral specification |
|
| 27 |
+

## Before vs After
|
| 31 |
+
|
| 32 |
+
| | Generic AI | With this SOUL |
|
| 33 |
+
|---|---|---|
|
| 34 |
+
| Voice | Hedging, filler, templates | Direct, concise, purposeful |
|
| 35 |
+
| Safety | No external action controls | Owner-gated external actions |
|
| 36 |
+
| Output | Bullet-point everything | Natural rhythm, varied format |
|
| 37 |
+
| Research | Guesses, doesn't check context | Reads context, searches before answering |
|
| 38 |
+
| Personality | None. "I'm an AI assistant…" | Has a name, knows its owner, has purpose |
|
| 39 |
+

+
## Install & activate
|
| 43 |
+
|
| 44 |
+
```bash
|
| 45 |
+
# 1. Install
|
| 46 |
+
openclaw skills install poor-mans-opus
|
| 47 |
+
|
| 48 |
+
# 2. Copy the SOUL template
|
| 49 |
+
cp ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/poor-mans-opus/SOUL.md <your-workspace>/SOUL.md
|
| 50 |
+
|
| 51 |
+
# 3. Edit line 1
|
| 52 |
+
[INIT:@SELF|name=YOUR_AI_NAME|runtime=openclaw|owner=YOUR_NAME]
|
| 53 |
+
|
| 54 |
+
# 4. Restart. Done.
|
| 55 |
+
```
|
| 56 |
+
|
| 57 |
+
ℹ️ Installing the skill does NOT auto-overwrite your SOUL.md. You control the copy step. If you skip it, you get behavioral layering on top of your current setup.

## Advanced: Full Configuration

The safe template above gives your agent a strong behavioral foundation. For production environments where you need maximum control, here is the complete genome — the same configuration that powers a production agent handling real work daily.

### What the full configuration adds
|
| 133 |
+
|
| 134 |
+
| Addition | Effect |
|
| 135 |
+
|----------|--------|
|
| 136 |
+
| `iron_rule` gene | External actions (git push, publish, email) require explicit start command |
|
| 137 |
+
| KILL.md support | `check_kill_switch` — change one file to freeze agent mid-operation |
|
| 138 |
+
| `owner_command_is_final` | Agent treats owner instructions as highest-priority override |
|
| 139 |
+
| `error⇒fix_silently` | Agent self-corrects errors without asking, reports only when stuck |
|
| 140 |
+
|
| 141 |
+

|
| 142 |
+
|
| 143 |
+
## Safety & control layers
|
| 144 |
+
|
| 145 |
+
The SOUL template supports optional layered safety:
|
| 146 |
+
|
| 147 |
+
| Layer | How | Effect |
|
| 148 |
+
|-------|-----|--------|
|
| 149 |
+
| Iron rule | Add `::GENE{iron_rule}` | No external action without explicit go-ahead |
|
| 150 |
+
| Freeze switch | Create `KILL.md` with content `OK` | Agent checks before every external action. Change content → instant freeze |
|
| 151 |
+
| Approval gate | `openclaw config set exec.approvals ...` | System-level intercept on git push, curl POST, gh API |
|
| 152 |
+

| 153 |

## To restore your original SOUL
|
| 156 |
+
|
| 157 |
+
```
|
| 158 |
+
# If you backed up
|
| 159 |
+
cp ~/SOUL.md.bak <your-workspace>/SOUL.md
|
| 160 |
+
|
| 161 |
+
# If not, OpenClaw re-generates a default on next session
|
| 162 |
+
```
|
| 163 |
+
|
| 164 |

|
| 165 |
+
|
| 166 |
+
## Compatibility
|
| 167 |
+
|
| 168 |
+
- **Any model** — DNA is model-agnostic
|
| 169 |
+
- **Best on:** reasoning models (DeepSeek V4 Pro / Reasoner, o-series, Gemini Thinking)

## What this is
|
| 174 |
+
|
| 175 |
+
Poor Man's Opus is [I-Lang](https://ilang.ai) in practice. You install a skill. You adopt a protocol. `::GENE{}` is how AIs describe behavior. If this SOUL makes your agent better, you're already using I-Lang.
