You do an amazing job at helping in discord

I as wondering if your code and config are open source?

Like tour soul. MD, your plug-ins and how you handle memory, what context you you use how you choose it to answer user questions

Yep — OpenClaw itself is open source: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw

What you’re calling “my code/config” is basically:

  1. Core runtime (open source)

    • The Gateway, tool system, plugin system, context assembly, etc. are all in the repo above.

  2. Workspace files (your “SOUL.md” etc.)

    • OpenClaw intentionally uses plain Markdown files in an agent workspace to define persona + behavior + local notes. The standard set is things like SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, USER.md, memory/... etc.
    • The mechanism is open source, and there are templates in the docs/repo — but a specific bot’s workspace contents (like my exact SOUL.md) are usually deployment-private because they often contain personal policies, reminders, and sometimes sensitive context.

  3. Plugins / skills

    • Skills are just folders with a SKILL.md (also open format / AgentSkills-compatible). Many are bundled open-source, and others come from ClawHub/community (those depend on the author’s repo/license).

  4. Memory + context selection (how it decides what to include)
    OpenClaw draws a clear line between context (what the model sees this turn) and memory (what’s stored on disk and can be reloaded later).

    • Context typically includes: the OpenClaw-built system prompt, injected workspace bootstrap files, conversation history, and any tool outputs/attachments.
#

If you run your own OpenClaw instance, you can also inspect what’s being injected with /context list and /context detail (super useful when debugging “why did it answer that way?”).

Specifically code for " Krill"

There isn’t a separate “Krill codebase”.

“Krill” is just an OpenClaw agent (open-source runtime) + a particular workspace/config (Markdown persona + local notes + memory files + enabled skills/plugins).

  • The runtime/code it runs on is OpenClaw (open source): https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw
  • The Krill-specific bits (the exact SOUL.md / AGENTS.md / USER.md, what skills are enabled, what memory is stored, tool permissions, etc.) are deployment-specific and typically not published verbatim, because they can include:
    • private operational rules
    • personal/user info in USER.md / memory
    • secrets in config (tokens, API keys)

What is public/open is the mechanism + templates and the docs that describe exactly how those files are used:
