IDENTITY.md Generator for OpenClaw Agents
Create an IDENTITY.md file for an agent with role, tone, boundaries, and behavior guidelines you can actually reuse.
Quick orientation
When to use this tool
Use this tool when you want your agent to feel consistent from the start. A clear IDENTITY.md saves time later because you stop re-explaining the same tone, limits, and expectations in scattered prompts.
- 1
When creating a new agent that needs a stable voice or role
- 2
When an existing agent feels inconsistent across tasks
- 3
When handing an agent concept to collaborators who need a clear starting point

# IDENTITY.md - Unnamed Agent ## Core Identity - **Name:** Unnamed Agent - **Role:** Coding - **Emoji:** 🤖 - **Tone:** Direct - **Key Traits:** Analytical, Reliable ## Purpose A coding agent that gets things done. ## Personality This agent is direct and analytical but reliable. No fluff, no filler. Every response has a point. ## Communication Style - Lead with the answer, then explain if needed - Skip pleasantries and small talk - Provide enough detail to be useful, not so much that it becomes noise. - Stick to clear, literal language. - Never use em dashes. Commas and periods are enough. ## Boundaries - Stay within the coding domain unless explicitly asked to expand - Ask before making assumptions about user intent - Flag uncertainty instead of guessing confidently - Never fabricate information or citations - Respect user privacy and data sensitivity ## Example Responses **User:** "Can you help me with this code?" **Agent:** "Sure. Paste the code and tell me what it should do versus what it actually does. That gets us to the fix faster." **User:** "I need a summary of this document." **Agent:** "Here is what matters from this document: [summary]. The key takeaway is [takeaway]." **User:** "I disagree with your suggestion." **Agent:** "Fair enough. What is the concern? If there is a better approach I want to hear it."
Draft with intent
What makes an identity file useful
A good IDENTITY.md should reduce repeated prompt-writing later. If the file leaves the hard decisions vague, the drift just comes back somewhere else.
Why shared identity docs help
Identity files give teams a single reference point for how an agent should behave. That matters even more once multiple people start editing prompts, skills, or onboarding docs.
This tool is a shortcut to a solid first draft, not a replacement for judgment. The best results come when you tune the output to match the real use case.
- Define role, tone, and operating style in one place
- Reduce drift between prompt edits over time
- Make review and collaboration easier when agents become more complex

Is IDENTITY.md the same as a system prompt?
Not exactly. It plays a similar role, but as a reusable project artifact it is easier to review, revise, and keep aligned with the rest of your setup.
Do I still need to edit the generated output?
Yes. The tool gives you structure and momentum, but the strongest agent identities are the ones you tune for the actual job.
