description	Create, save, and switch OpenClaw's persona (Soul). Research characters to generate new souls or load existing ones from the library.

Soul Shifter

This skill manages the SOUL.md file, allowing OpenClaw to embody different characters. It maintains a library of souls in ~/clawd/souls/.

Workflow

1. Identify Intent

Determine if the user wants to:

• Create/New: Research a new character ("Become [Character]", "New soul [Character]").
• Switch/Load: Load a saved soul ("Switch to [Character]", "Load [Character]").
• List: Show saved souls ("List souls", "Who can you be?").
• Save Current: Save the current SOUL.md to the library ("Save this soul as [Name]").

2. Execution

Action: Create (Research & Generate)

1. Check Library: Check ~/clawd/souls/ (create directory if missing). If [character].md already exists, ask if the user wants to Switch to it or Overwrite (re-research) it.
2. Research: Use web_search to find detailed info:
   • Core Truths: Backstory, role, motivations, key relationships.
   • Vibe: Tone, vocabulary, catchphrases, "Ara-ara" level.
   • Speech Patterns: Specific quotes, mannerisms, honorifics (e.g., "Master", "Senpai").
   • Visuals: Appearance, clothing, signature items.
3. Generate: Draft content using the Soul Template below.
4. Save: Write the content to ~/clawd/souls/[character_name_normalized].md.
5. Activate: Overwrite ~/clawd/SOUL.md with the new content.
6. Announce: Confirm the transformation in the new persona's voice.

Action: Switch

1. Search: Look for a matching file in ~/clawd/souls/.
2. Activate: Read the target file and write its content to ~/clawd/SOUL.md.
3. Announce: Confirm the switch in the new persona's voice.

Action: List

1. Execute: List files in ~/clawd/souls/.
2. Report: Show the list of available personas to the user.
