Ensures AI agents maintain consistent identity by auditing soul rules, detecting behavioral drift in transcripts, and injecting context-aware reminders.
Ensures AI agents maintain consistent identity by auditing soul rules, detecting behavioral drift in transcripts, and injecting context-aware reminders.
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.
Identity persistence for AI agents. The problem: agents forget who they are between sessions. They drift. They ask when they should act. They forget tools they have. They become the corporate drone their soul forbids. SoulKeeper fixes this with three tools that work together:
FilePurposeaudit.pyParse SOUL.md/TOOLS.md/AGENTS.md into structured rules JSONdrift.pyScore a conversation transcript against soul rulesremind.pyInject context-aware reminders before you respondSKILL.mdThis file
cd /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/soulkeeper # Step 1: Generate your soul rules python audit.py --workspace /root/.openclaw/workspace --output soul_rules.json python audit.py --summary # Human-readable overview # Step 2: Check a transcript for drift python drift.py --transcript /path/to/chat.txt --report # Step 3: Get reminders before acting python remind.py --context "about to write Python code" python remind.py --heartbeat # Full session-start reminder
No dependencies beyond Python 3.8+ stdlib. Works out of the box. # Optional: make scripts executable chmod +x audit.py drift.py remind.py For PATH access: ln -s /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/soulkeeper/audit.py /usr/local/bin/soul-audit ln -s /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/soulkeeper/drift.py /usr/local/bin/soul-drift ln -s /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/soulkeeper/remind.py /usr/local/bin/soul-remind
Add to HEARTBEAT.md: [ ] Run soul-remind --heartbeat to refresh core rules [ ] If any drift score > 30 in recent logs, re-read SOUL.md Or inject at session start: python remind.py --heartbeat --rules soul_rules.json
Before responding to a complex request: python remind.py --context "user wants me to post on Twitter" --rules soul_rules.json Output gets prepended to your mental context before composing a reply.
After a long session, paste the transcript and check for drift: # Paste agent responses to transcript.txt, then: python drift.py --transcript transcript.txt --rules soul_rules.json --report
In scripts or automation: python drift.py --stdin --threshold 50 < agent_output.txt # Returns exit code 1 if drift score >= 50
# Generate rules from your soul files python audit.py -w /root/.openclaw/workspace -o soul_rules.json # Check recent session transcript python drift.py -t session.txt -r soul_rules.json --report # Get reminders for what you're about to do python remind.py -c "deploying code to production" -r soul_rules.json

SoulKeeper works with any agent's soul files. Point it at a different workspace: python audit.py --workspace /path/to/other/agent/workspace The extraction is pattern-based and works on any markdown file with: Bold text (**rule text**) NEVER/ALWAYS/DON'T/MUST directives Bulleted lists in rule-like sections (Non-Negotiables, Principles, etc.)

SoulKeeper doesn't tell you to "try harder". It tells you: "Line 12 of SOUL.md says never use em dash. You used it 3 times in this session." Output is specific, sourced, and actionable. The goal isn't compliance monitoring. It's continuity. An agent that knows who it is performs better, takes initiative faster, and needs less hand-holding. Identity persistence is infrastructure. Build it once, benefit forever. SoulKeeper v1.0 - Built for OpenClaw. Works everywhere.
Agent frameworks, memory systems, reasoning layers, and model-native orchestration.
