In OpenClaw, “who the agent is” comes entirely from the agent workspace files (IDENTITY.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, AGENTS.md, memory/*, etc.). If something (onboard/setup, a profile switch, or a config change) pointed OpenClaw at a new/empty workspace, the agent will feel like it “doesn’t know who he is”.

Two quick checks:

  1. What version are you on?
openclaw --version
  1. Are you accidentally on a different workspace/profile now?
openclaw status

Look for anything that indicates the workspace path (and whether OPENCLAW_PROFILE is set; different profiles default to different ~/.openclaw/workspace-<profile> folders).

Fix (usually one of these):

  • Point OpenClaw back to your real workspace (or copy your old workspace files into the currently-active workspace).
