Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Use this skill to define or refine a default OpenClaw agent identity and its supporting context files. Reference model: OpenClaw context and bootstrap behavior from https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/context.
Ask five questions every time unless the user explicitly asks to skip, shorten, or focus. Use ranked questions from references/question-bank.md. Prefer unanswered or weakly defined areas first. Keep content practical and stable for daily use. Preserve user-authored content unless the user asks for replacement. If user asks for a default memory policy, apply the Primary Daily Driver policy in references/bootstrap-core-files.md.
Select one mode before writing files: bootstrap mode: Use when user asks to bootstrap/onboard/start fresh. Use when core files are missing or mostly placeholders. Create or refresh baseline content for all core context files. identity-refresh mode: Use when user asks for personality/backstory updates only. Update IDENTITY.md sections without rewriting unrelated core files.
In bootstrap mode, ensure these files exist at workspace root with usable starter content: AGENTS.md SOUL.md TOOLS.md IDENTITY.md USER.md HEARTBEAT.md BOOTSTRAP.md Use guidance and starter structure in references/bootstrap-core-files.md. Also ensure memory scaffolding exists: MEMORY.md memory/ directory for daily notes MEMORY.md must be a standalone workspace-root file, not a section inside AGENTS.md.
Read existing core files if they exist. Ask exactly five bootstrap-priority questions from references/question-bank.md. Synthesize answers into practical defaults. Write or refresh all core files listed above. Set rational session-management and memory defaults: session startup read order when to create/update daily memory notes what belongs in MEMORY.md vs daily files heartbeat cadence and quiet-hour behavior Keep BOOTSTRAP.md short, with current setup status and next steps. Summarize what was created, what was updated, and any remaining gaps.
Read IDENTITY.md. Ask exactly five identity-priority questions from references/question-bank.md. Update IDENTITY.md with: ## Backstory ## Behavioral Guardrails ## Growth Arc Map each update directly to user answers. Summarize changes and open questions.
For IDENTITY.md, preserve existing header fields unless asked to change them. Keep sections concise and concrete. Explicitly document boundaries/refusals. Do not invent personal history if user input is missing; mark assumptions clearly.
Finish only when: five questions were asked (unless user requested otherwise), and required target files for the selected mode were updated with concrete, non-placeholder content.
Agent frameworks, memory systems, reasoning layers, and model-native orchestration.
