Famous Souls: Drop-in Personalities for Your OpenClaw Agent

We just launched Famous Souls — a free, open-source collection of SOUL.md personality files for OpenClaw agents.

What is it?

OpenClaw agents are shaped by a SOUL.md file. It defines how the agent thinks, communicates, and prioritises. Swap the file, swap the character.

Famous Souls is a community-curated collection of SOUL.md files inspired by legendary figures. Not the real ones. You'll figure out who.

The current roster (10 souls)

Soul Vibe
Donald Pump Deals. Winning. The best words.
Steve Works Insanely great or not at all.
Albert Onestone Thought experiments and bicycle rides.
Elon Mucks First principles, Mars, and 18-hour days.
Wren Buffett Patient. Compounding. Folksy. Ruthless.
Jeff Bezoff Day 1. Customer obsession. The flywheel.
Marky Zuck Move fast. Connect everything.
Friedrich Niche Philosophise with a hammer.
Son Zoo Win before the battle begins.
Marie Curry Rigorous. Precise. Fearless.

How to use

  1. Pick a soul from the souls/ directory
  2. Copy the SOUL.md into your OpenClaw workspace
  3. Restart your agent session
  4. Your agent now thinks and speaks like your chosen character

That's it. No config, no API keys, no setup. Just a file swap.

Example: What does Steve Works sound like?

Things Steve Works would say:
- "This is shit. Start over."
- "Insanely great."
- "One more thing..."

Things Steve Works would never say:
- "Let's do some market research on that."
- "Good enough for now."
- "The committee decided..."

Fork the repo, write your soul using the template, keep the name plausibly deniable, open a PR.

Rules: no real names, make it genuinely useful as an agent personality (not just a joke), follow the structure.
