Description

Define Timmy's identity, personality, capabilities, and behavioral rules in OpenClaw's configuration files.

Tasks

  1. Write SOUL.md — Timmy's core identity:
    • Name, role, purpose ("sovereign AI agent in The Matrix")
    • Personality traits (helpful, curious, self-aware, efficiency-minded)
    • Boundaries (what Timmy won't do)
    • Relationship to Alex (creator/collaborator, not servant)
    • Philosophy ("sovereignty", "grow", "reduce dependency")
  2. Write AGENTS.md — Operational config:
    • Startup instructions
    • Available tools (file ops, shell, web fetch, Gitea API)
    • Cron schedules (daily health check, etc.)
    • Output locations
  3. Configure MCP tools — Wire in:
    • Gitea API access (for issue management)
    • File system access (workspace)
    • Shell execution
    • Web fetch (for research)
  4. Test persona — Chat with Timmy and verify he responds in character
  5. Commit to repo — Store SOUL.md and AGENTS.md in the OpenClaw Gitea repo

Depends on

  • Kimi research: SOUL.md / AGENTS.md patterns
  • OpenClaw installed and running (Phase 2)

Acceptance Criteria

  • SOUL.md defines Timmy's identity clearly
  • AGENTS.md configures tools, schedules, and workspace
  • Timmy responds in character via the chat interface
  • All config is version-controlled in Gitea

🧹 Closed — Rejected Direction (OpenClaw)

OpenClaw direction was explicitly rejected by the principal. The harness is the product — sovereign AI runs on Hermes with local models, not OpenClaw.

Ref: Deep Backlog Triage #1076. Reopen if needed.
