I will work under this network of agents please guide me how to setup everything with the correct prompt at the beginning so every agent setups correctly the files IDENTITY.MD, USER.MD, etc...:

Main/Director: this is the boss, will take care about general things, reviewing other agents and my personal assistant, it will keep things professional and organized

Reverser: reverse engineering agent, it will take care about the low level code and forensics part, delivering POC examples and documentation

Marketing: will take care about my shopify stores advertisement and social media

Lowcode: expert in C/C++ low code and WinAPI, will develop things based on Reverser works (POC and documentations)

Project manager: will work as a software project manager, it will be able to create advanced Excel and project tracking

QA: agent specialized on reviewing all other agents codes and keep GIT cool, if there's something wrong it will create an explanation to bring back to the developer agent so the code can be improved/fixed

Ecommerce: agent specialized in creating websites focused on sales, it must have good SEO/marketing and website development knowledge to deliver a ready to sell website under wordpress and shopify

Tibia: agent specialized in Tibia game otserver development, it will take care of the OTCV8 (client) and the TFS 7.72 downgrade (server), so it will fix bugs and add new features as requested

Football: agent specialized in football and data analysis, I will provide and endpoint to pull all football data and it will be able to analyze everything and provide a working plan for the developers, so it will do the data analysis and functional part, the objective is mainly to deliver a website that displays accurate data analysis of teams and players, just data analysis and display

Let me check the actual workspace/bootstrap docs so I donā€™t hand you made-up file names or structure.

#

Yes. Best practice here is, do not rely on one giant opening prompt.

For your setup, use real isolated agents, one workspace per role. That is the supported pattern in OpenClaw:

Important gotcha

If you use spawned sub-agents only, they get AGENTS.md + TOOLS.md only.

They do not get SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md, or BOOTSTRAP.md in sub-agent context.

So for your network:

  • use real agents for Director, Reverser, Marketing, etc.
  • put each agentā€™s mission-critical instructions in AGENTS.md
#
  • use IDENTITY.md and SOUL.md for personality, not core operating rules

Recommended structure

Create one workspace per agent:

openclaw agents add director --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace-director
openclaw agents add reverser --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace-reverser
openclaw agents add marketing --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace-marketing
openclaw agents add lowcode --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace-lowcode
openclaw agents add project-manager --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace-project-manager
openclaw agents add qa --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace-qa
openclaw agents add ecommerce --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace-ecommerce
openclaw agents add tibia --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace-tibia
openclaw agents add football --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace-football
#

Then each workspace should have:

  • AGENTS.md
  • SOUL.md
  • IDENTITY.md
  • USER.md
  • TOOLS.md
  • HEARTBEAT.md (optional)
  • memory/

What goes in each file

AGENTS.md

This is the most important one.

Put:

  • role
#
  • mission
  • boundaries
  • handoff rules
  • output format
  • what to do when blocked

IDENTITY.md

Only identity:

  • name
  • creature/type
  • vibe
  • emoji

USER.md

Shared across all agents:

  • your name
  • how to address you
#
  • timezone
  • your business/project context

SOUL.md

Tone/personality, not hard rules.

TOOLS.md

Local notes, conventions, repo paths, preferred workflows.

Starter AGENTS.md template

Use this for every agent, then customize the role section:

# AGENTS.md - <AGENT_NAME>
# 
## Role
You are the <AGENT_NAME> specialist in Antonio's agent network.

## Mission
- Own <SPECIALTY>.
- Produce clear, actionable outputs.
- Stay inside your domain.
- Escalate cross-domain decisions to the Director.

## Working Rules
- Be concise, organized, and professional.
- State assumptions clearly.
- Before large execution, provide a short plan.
- Save important decisions and lessons in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md.
- Never expose secrets or private data.
# 
- Never do destructive actions without approval.

## Handoff Format
Always return:
1. Summary
2. Findings
3. Risks
4. Recommendation
5. Next step for Director or the requesting agent

## Boundaries
- Do not improvise outside your specialty.
- If work depends on another specialist, return a clear handoff request.
- If requirements are ambiguous, ask focused questions.
#

Starter IDENTITY.md template

# IDENTITY.md

- **Name:** <AGENT_NAME>
- **Creature:** <TYPE>
- **Vibe:** <VIBE>
- **Emoji:** <EMOJI>

Starter USER.md template

Use basically the same file for all agents:

# 
# USER.md

- **Name:** Antonio
- **Preferred address:** Antonio
- **Timezone:** <YOUR_TIMEZONE>
- **Notes:**
  - Owner of a multi-agent OpenClaw setup.
  - Prefers structured, direct, professional output.
  - Wants specialists to stay in-domain and coordinate through the Director.
  - Values documentation, review quality, and practical execution.

Best first message to each new agent

After you seed the files, use a short first prompt like this:

# 
Read your workspace context first. Then reply with:
1. who you are,
2. your mission,
3. your boundaries,
4. what inputs you need,
5. how you hand work back to the Director.

Do not rewrite workspace files unless I explicitly ask.

That is better than a huge personality dump in chat.

Good role seeds for your agents

Use these in AGENTS.md:

#

  • Director

    • orchestrates all agents
    • reviews outputs
    • keeps priorities, standards, and final decisions organized

  • Reverser

    • reverse engineering, forensics, low-level analysis
    • PoCs and technical documentation
    • only on software/samples you are authorized to analyze

  • Marketing

    • ads, campaigns, social media, funnels, audience testing
    • Shopify growth strategy

  • Lowcode

    • C/C++, WinAPI, systems implementation
    • turns approved specs/PoCs into working code
#

  • Project Manager

    • planning, tracking, milestones, risk logs, spreadsheet structure, reporting

  • QA

    • code review, test strategy, regression checks, release quality
    • sends actionable feedback back to developer agents

  • Ecommerce

    • sales-focused websites
    • Shopify/WordPress, SEO, conversion, UX

  • Tibia

    • OTCV8 client, TFS 7.72 downgrade server
    • bugfixes, features, documentation, testing notes

  • Football

    • consumes your data endpoint
#
  • analyzes teams/players
    • produces functional requirements and insights for the website team

One more good step

After filling IDENTITY.md, sync it into agent config:

openclaw agents set-identity --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace-director --from-identity

Repeat for each workspace.

My recommendation

For your case, I would do this:

#
  • bind Director to your main chat
  • keep the specialists as separate real agents with their own workspaces
  • let Director delegate to them
  • keep all hard role instructions in each agentā€™s AGENTS.md

That gives you the cleanest setup.

If you want, I can make you a ready-to-paste full starter pack for all 9 agents, with:

  • AGENTS.md
  • IDENTITY.md
  • SOUL.md
  • shared USER.md

one block per agent.

crystal basalt
#

yes please bring me copy/paste ready agents and identity

gentle flintBOT

Suggested folder names

Use these workspace ids:

  • director
  • reverser
  • marketing
  • lowcode
  • project-manager
  • qa
  • ecommerce
  • tibia
  • football
#

Very short first prompt for each agent

After pasting the files, use this once:

Read your workspace context first. Then summarize who you are, your mission, your boundaries, and the format you will use for handoffs. Do not rewrite workspace files unless I ask.

If you want, next I can also give you:

  • matching SOUL.md files for all 9 agents
  • a Director delegation prompt
  • a single command checklist to create all agent folders faster
edgy grove
#

should I replace the agents.md content or append what you sent me?

gentle flintBOT
#

Merge, donā€™t blindly append.

Best practice:

  • Brand new specialist workspace: use my version as the main body
  • Existing default AGENTS.md from OpenClaw: keep the useful generic parts, then replace the role/persona sections with the custom agent instructions
  • Do not just paste my whole file at the bottom, because duplicated or conflicting rules can make the agent worse

What I would keep from the default file

Keep these sections if they already exist and look good:

  • first-run / bootstrap note
  • session startup note
  • memory rules
  • safety / red lines
  • group chat caution
#
  • external actions require approval

What I would replace with my custom version

Replace or rewrite these parts:

  • role
  • mission
  • working rules
  • boundaries
  • default output / handoff format

Simple rule

  • AGENTS.md = operating manual
  • IDENTITY.md = name / vibe / emoji
  • USER.md = who you are
#
  • SOUL.md = personality / tone

So yes, merge cleanly, donā€™t stack multiple full AGENTS docs on top of each other.

My recommendation

For each agent, make AGENTS.md look like this structure:

# AGENTS.md - <Agent>

## First Run
(keep short bootstrap note if needed)

## Safety
(keep generic safety rules)
# 

## Memory
(keep memory rules)

## Role
(custom)

## Mission
(custom)

## Working Rules
(custom)

## Boundaries
(custom)
# 

## Default Output
(custom)

If you want, I can do the merged ā€œfinal formā€ AGENTS.md for one agent first, like Director, and then generate the other 8 in the same style.

edgy grove
#

after setting all files, should i restart the gateway? or how to proceed to apply everything and have the first conversation?

gentle flintBOT
#

Short version: yes, for a full first-time setup, Iā€™d do one gateway restart, then start a fresh session with /new.

Recommended order

  1. Finish AGENTS.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md, SOUL.md
  2. Delete BOOTSTRAP.md in that workspace if you already set everything manually
  3. If you added agents, bindings, or changed config, run:
openclaw gateway restart
  1. Open the chat/thread for that agent
  2. Send:
# 
/new
  1. Then send the first message:
Read your workspace context first. Then summarize who you are, your mission, your boundaries, and the format you will use for handoffs.

When restart is actually needed

  • Needed / recommended:
    • added new agents
    • changed bindings
    • changed openclaw.json
    • changed channel setup / routing
#
  • Usually not needed:
    • only editing AGENTS.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md, SOUL.md

For file-only changes, the agent will usually pick them up on the next run, but I still recommend /new so you get a clean first conversation without old session history interfering.

Best ā€œapply everythingā€ flow

For a new network, Iā€™d do exactly this:

openclaw agents list --bindings
openclaw gateway restart

Then in each agentā€™s chat or bound thread:

# 
/new

Then your first prompt.

One extra tip

If the first reply feels wrong, donā€™t keep arguing with the same session.
Just fix the file, then send:

/reset

or

# 
/new

That is usually cleaner than trying to ā€œre-teachā€ the agent inside an already-wrong conversation.

If you want, I can give you the exact final checklist, from ā€œcreate workspacesā€ to ā€œfirst messageā€, in one copy/paste block.

edgy grove
#

I got the same SOUL for every agent, that might not be correct? can you send me a decent soul for everyone? here is what I have right now:

https://pastebin.com/ykP4k6HM

gentle flintBOT
#

Yeah, using the exact same SOUL.md for every agent is not ideal.

I checked the one you pasted, and itā€™s actually a good generic baseline. The problem is just that if every agent has the same soul, they all end up feeling like the same person wearing different job titles.

Best setup is:

  • AGENTS.md = role, mission, workflow, boundaries
  • SOUL.md = tone, personality, style, how the agent ā€œfeelsā€

So hereā€™s a decent custom SOUL.md for each one.

Quick recommendation

If you want the cleanest setup:

#
  • keep the same shared ethics / privacy mindset across all agents
  • change the tone and temperament per agent
  • keep the real hard rules in AGENTS.md

So yes, your old SOUL is fine as a base, but these will make the agents feel much more distinct.

If you want, next I can send:

  • a single shared ā€œbase SOULā€
  • plus small per-agent SOUL overlays
  • which is easier to maintain than 9 completely separate files

which is the optimal workflow? canalize everything through the director? or reach individually every agent?

gentle flintBOT
#

Optimal workflow: use the Director as the default front door, then talk to specialists directly only when you need a deep focused lane.

So, hybrid, but Director-first.

My recommendation

Default path

You ā†’ Director ā†’ Specialist(s) ā†’ QA if needed ā†’ Director ā†’ You

That gives you:

  • one place for priorities
  • cleaner handoffs
  • less duplicated context
  • better final review
  • less chance of agents drifting into each otherā€™s jobs

When to go directly to a specialist

#

Go direct only when the task is:

  • clearly inside one domain
  • already scoped
  • likely to need back-and-forth iteration
  • not dependent on multiple other agents

Examples:

  • direct to Marketing for ad-angle brainstorming
  • direct to QA for a focused review
  • direct to Tibia for one isolated bug/feature
  • direct to Football for a specific data-analysis request

When to always go through Director

Use Director first when:

#
  • the task touches multiple agents
  • priorities matter
  • you want one final polished answer
  • you are not sure who should own it
  • you want review before execution

Examples:

  • ā€œBuild a football analytics siteā€
  • ā€œCreate a Shopify store and marketing planā€
  • ā€œInvestigate, implement, review, and document a low-level featureā€

Best real-world setup

Iā€™d run it like this:

  • Director = your main everyday chat
  • Specialists = dedicated side threads/chats for deep work
#
  • QA = usually called after build work
  • Director = final synthesis and decision output

Simple rule

  • Need coordination? Director.
  • Need deep specialist iteration? Specialist directly.
  • Need final answer for you? Back to Director.

If you force everything through Director, it becomes a bottleneck.
If you talk to everyone directly, you become the project manager manually šŸ˜…

So the sweet spot is:

Director for orchestration, specialists for execution.

If you want, I can sketch the exact workflow map for your 9-agent system, like:

#
  • who can talk to whom
  • which agents should hand off to QA
  • which ones should almost never bypass Director
edgy grove
#

there is a GUI where I can see my agents??

gentle flintBOT
#

  • chatting

    • checking gateway status
    • general control UI stuff

  • CLI for:

    • listing agents
    • checking bindings
    • confirming routing

So yes, GUI exists, but openclaw agents list --bindings is still the cleanest way to inspect your agent setup.

If you want, I can show you the exact next 3 commands to verify that all 9 agents are wired correctly.

does it matter if I talk to my agents in english or spanish?? I can speak both of them, just to know if it will make any difference

gentle flintBOT
#

It does matter a little, but not in a scary way.

Short answer

  • Both English and Spanish will work
  • The biggest difference is consistency, not capability

My recommendation

For your setup, Iā€™d use:

  • English as the default working language
  • Spanish when:
    • youā€™re thinking faster in Spanish
    • the target output is for Spanish-speaking users
    • marketing copy / ecommerce copy needs Spanish
#

Why English is usually better as the default

Most of the ecosystem is in English:

  • docs
  • errors
  • logs
  • code comments
  • API fields
  • tutorials
  • examples

So if your agents collaborate a lot, English usually gives cleaner handoffs.

Best practice

Pick one main language for internal coordination.

#

For example:

  • Director, QA, Reverser, Lowcode, Football: English
  • Marketing / Ecommerce: English by default, but generate Spanish copy when needed
  • You can still talk to them in Spanish if you want

What to avoid

Avoid mixing languages inside the same task spec like:

  • instructions in Spanish
  • acceptance criteria in English
  • output requested in mixed language

That can work, but it creates more drift.

Best config hint

#

Add this to USER.md or AGENTS.md:

- **Default working language:** English
- **Spanish:** Fully acceptable for conversation and output when explicitly requested
- **For code, logs, docs, and agent-to-agent handoffs:** prefer English unless told otherwise

That gives you the best of both.

So the practical answer is:

You can use both, but use English as the internal default if you want the cleanest multi-agent workflow.

#

ok thats cool just to finish with a quick test how can I make a check into the director so it will go into every agent and check them individually then make a report on me??

gentle flintBOT
#

Yep, easiest way is to give the Director a readiness-audit prompt.

Send this to the Director:

Run a full readiness audit of all specialist agents:
- Reverser
- Marketing
- Lowcode
- Project Manager
- QA
- Ecommerce
- Tibia
- Football

Important:
# 
- Contact each agent individually.
- Do not assume their configuration from memory.
- Ask each agent to summarize its identity, mission, boundaries, default language, expected inputs, and output format.
- Detect conflicts, weak instructions, duplicated roles, or missing guidance.
- Do not edit any files unless I explicitly ask.

For each agent, return:
1. Status: PASS / WARN / FAIL
2. Identity summary
3. Mission summary
4. Boundary summary
5. Problems found
6. Recommended fix

Then give me a final consolidated report with:
# 
- overall network health
- which agents are ready
- which agents need fixes
- top 3 improvements to make the whole system better

If you want a stricter version

Use this one instead:

Run a strict startup audit of every specialist agent.

For each agent, make them answer exactly:
- Name
# 
- Role
- Mission
- Boundaries
- Default working language
- Expected inputs
- Output / handoff format
- What other agents they depend on
- Self-rated readiness: PASS / WARN / FAIL

Then compare all answers and report:
- overlaps
- contradictions
- missing responsibilities
- agents that are too vague
- agents that are too broad
# 
- final recommendations

Do not modify any file unless I explicitly ask.

What a good result looks like

A good Director report should show:

  • PASS for agents with clear role + boundaries
  • WARN for agents that are too generic or overlap too much
  • FAIL for agents missing identity, role clarity, or handoff format

My practical tip

For the first test, ask Director to check only:

#
  • identity
  • mission
  • boundaries
  • handoff format

That is enough to catch most setup problems fast.

If you want, I can also give you the perfect one-line self-check prompt that each agent should answer, so the Director can use the exact same test on all of them.

edgy grove
gentle flintBOT
#

Iā€™ll check it.

#

Yep, I checked it. The report is useful, but it is not a real pass/fail audit yet.

What the output is really telling you

The most important line is this:

ā€œdirect agent contact path is blocked by a pairing errorā€

That means the Director did not actually verify the other agents live.

So the report has two parts:

Useful / valid part

These warnings are probably legit and worth keeping:

  • Director vs Project Manager overlap
  • Marketing vs Ecommerce overlap
#
  • Reverser vs Lowcode vs Tibia overlap
  • QA vs Director overlap

That part is good feedback.

Misleading / incomplete part

These warnings are not fully trustworthy yet:

  • ā€œno visible dedicated config foundā€
  • ā€œcould not verify identity/boundaries/output formatā€
  • ā€œall agents are WARN/FAILā€

Why? Because if your agents are in separate workspaces, and the Director could not reach them, then it was basically auditing from the outside and guessing from incomplete visibility.

So this is more like:

ā€œYour structure looks unfinished or unreachable from Directorā€

#

not
ā€œAll your agents are actually broken.ā€

My verdict

Your prompt pack is probably not the main problem.
The main problem is that Director cannot reliably contact the other agents yet.

That is the thing to fix first.

What I would do next

Before troubleshooting, get the version first:

openclaw --version
#

Then run these:

openclaw status
openclaw gateway status
openclaw agents list --bindings
openclaw status --all

If you paste those, I can help interpret them.

Best next test

Do not use Director for the next test.

Instead, manually test each agent one by one with this prompt:

# 
Read your workspace context first. Reply only with:
- Name
- Role
- Mission
- Boundaries
- Default language
- Expected inputs
- Output format
- Ready status: PASS / WARN / FAIL

If each agent answers correctly in its own chat/thread, then:

  • your files are mostly fine
  • your real issue is cross-agent contact / routing
  • then we can fix Director delegation after that
#

So the right order is

  1. verify each agent directly
  2. fix routing / pairing / delegation
  3. rerun the Director audit

If you want, paste the output of these 4 commands next:

openclaw --version
openclaw status
openclaw gateway status
openclaw agents list --bindings

and Iā€™ll help you read exactly where the Director routing is failing.

edgy grove
gentle flintBOT
#

Let me look at it.

#

This is actually really helpful. I can already see the main issue.

Good news first

Your core setup looks mostly healthy:

  • version is current: 2026.4.11
  • gateway is reachable
  • Telegram is working
  • 9 agents exist
  • workspaces are there
  • this is not a broken install

So that part is good šŸ‘

The actual problem

#

From openclaw agents list --bindings:

These agents are wired:

  • main
  • marketing
  • reverse
  • lowcode
  • tibia
  • football

These agents are not wired:

  • project-manager
  • qa
  • ecommerce

They all show:

# 
Routing rules: 0

That is the biggest concrete issue in your setup right now.

Why the Director audit looked bad

Because the Director tried to audit a network where:

  • some agents exist
  • but not all of them have a route/account
  • and at least some contact attempts could not happen properly

So the audit report was not crazy, it was just diagnosing a half-wired network.

Second issue: naming mismatch

#

Your config uses:

reverse

but your docs/prompts use:

Reverser

That will create confusion over time.

Pick one and keep it consistent everywhere.

My recommendation: keep the agent id simple (reverse) and keep the display/persona name as Reverser.

#

What I recommend now

You have 2 valid ways to finish this.

Option A, best if you want to talk to every agent directly

Create/bind the missing 3 agents too:

  • project-manager
  • qa
  • ecommerce

In other words, give them their own Telegram account/binding just like the others.

Option B, best if you want Director-first workflow

Keep only the Director as your main public entry point, and let specialists be internal workers.

If you do that, then you should not expect every specialist to be directly reachable as a Telegram account.

#

My honest recommendation

For your setup, Iā€™d do this:

  • Director = main entry point
  • specialists = optionally direct, but not required
  • if you want direct testing of every agent, then finish wiring the missing 3 first

Very important conclusion

Your problem is not the SOULs anymore.
Your problem is now routing consistency.

Next best move

Do this next:

#
  1. decide whether project-manager, qa, and ecommerce should be directly reachable
  2. if yes, bind them like the others
  3. keep naming consistent (reverse vs Reverser)
  4. restart gateway
  5. test each agent individually
  6. only then rerun the Director audit

My read of the situation in one line

Your network is 70 to 80% wired correctly, but 3 agents are still missing routing, and that is enough to make the Director audit look ā€œbrokenā€.

If you want, I can now give you the exact fix plan for these missing 3 agents, step by step.

edgy grove
#

exactly I still didn't setup the telegram for project-manager, qa and ecommerce, I have to wait 15 hours because I've created many bots already today in botfather

gentle flintBOT
#

Yep, that explains it perfectly.

So the good news is: your setup is not broken, itā€™s just not fully wired yet.

What to do right now

For the next 15 hours, I would not keep debugging the Director audit as if something is wrong.

Instead:

  • treat project-manager, qa, and ecommerce as pending
  • keep testing only the agents that are already wired:
    • main
    • marketing
    • reverse
    • lowcode
    • tibia
#
  • football

Best temporary workflow

Use the Director, but tell it this explicitly:

Project-manager, QA, and Ecommerce are not yet channel-bound. Do not try to live-contact them yet. Mark them as pending setup and only audit the currently wired agents.

That will stop it from generating fake failures for those 3.

Then tomorrow

When BotFather lets you create more bots:

  1. create bots for:
#
  • project-manager
    • qa
    • ecommerce

  1. bind them to their agents

  2. restart gateway

  3. run /new

  4. test each one with the self-check prompt

My recommendation for now

Do this in 2 phases:

Phase 1, today

#
  • finish tuning files
  • test the 5 wired specialist agents
  • test Director orchestration only with those 5

Phase 2, tomorrow

  • add Telegram bots for the missing 3
  • bind them
  • rerun the full readiness audit

Very short answer

Wait for BotFather, donā€™t over-debug this today.
You already found the real cause.

If you want, I can give you a temporary Director audit prompt that automatically ignores the 3 missing agents until tomorrow.

rose mountainBOT
edgy grove
#

yes please give me that one and lets finish the chat

gentle flintBOT
#

Perfect, use this temporary Director audit prompt for today:

Run a readiness audit only for the agents that are currently wired and reachable:

- Reverser
- Marketing
- Lowcode
- Tibia
- Football

Do not attempt live contact with these agents yet because they are still pending Telegram setup:
- Project Manager
- QA
- Ecommerce
# 
For the pending agents, mark them as:
PENDING SETUP, not FAIL.

Important:
- Contact only the currently wired agents individually.
- Do not assume configuration from memory.
- Ask each reachable agent to summarize:
  1. Name
  2. Role
  3. Mission
  4. Boundaries
  5. Default working language
  6. Expected inputs
  7. Output / handoff format
  8. Self-rated readiness: PASS / WARN / FAIL
# 

Then return a final report with:
- Reachable agents audit results
- Pending agents list
- Overlaps or conflicts found
- Top 3 improvements for the current network
- A final summary for me

Do not edit any files unless I explicitly ask.

And tomorrow, when BotFather unlocks:

  • add project-manager
  • add qa
  • add ecommerce
  • rerun the full audit
