Collection of 177 OpenClaw SOUL.md Templates Organized into 24 Categories
A developer has organized 177 SOUL.md templates for OpenClaw agents into 24 categories, all available as free and open-source MIT licensed files on GitHub. Each template is a complete SOUL.md file that can be copied into an agent folder and run immediately.

- Additional unspecified categories
Observations from Template Development
The developer noted several practical insights while creating these templates:
- Agents with narrow scope perform significantly better than "do everything" agents
- The rules section in SOUL.md matters more than identity for agent reliability
- Multi-agent teams (using AGENTS.md) work best with 3-5 agents
- Local models via Ollama handle simple routing tasks surprisingly well
- Telegram provides the fastest feedback loop for testing new configurations
The repository includes a CONTRIBUTING.md file with format specifications for submitting additional templates. The developer is soliciting feedback on what categories or specific agents would be useful to add next.
