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
- Pick a soul from the
souls/directory - Copy the
SOUL.mdinto your OpenClaw workspace - Restart your agent session
- 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.
