## What problem does it solve?

OpenClaw agents require SOUL.md files to have consistent personalities. Writing these files manually takes hours and requires deep knowledge of the character. SoulSquoosh automates this process in under 5 minutes.

## What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw (Open Claw) is an open-source AI agent framework. Agents in OpenClaw are defined by SOUL.md personality files that are injected into every conversation turn, making the AI behave consistently as a specific character rather than a generic chatbot.

## What files does SoulSquoosh generate?

- **SOUL.md** — 400+ word personality file injected on every conversation turn. Contains lore, personality traits, speech patterns, fears, allies, and behavioral rules.
- **IDENTITY.md** — Agent name, emoji, creature type, and visual identity for the OpenClaw interface.
- **setup.sh** — One-command shell script that creates the workspace, copies files, and registers the agent via CLI. No manual JSON editing required.
