Give your agent a soul.

A curated directory of SOUL.md personality templates for AI agents.

souls.directory is a curated collection of AI personality templates (SOUL.md files) for OpenClaw agents. Instead of starting from scratch, pick a personality that fits your needs—or mix and match to create something new.

Browse: Visit souls.directory to explore the collection.

Use a soul: Copy any SOUL.md from the website into your OpenClaw agent workspace, or use the raw content link on each soul’s page.

A soul file defines how an AI agent behaves: core values, communication style, boundaries, and vibe. The difference between a chatbot and a companion is personality—this directory helps you build companions.

We welcome contributions: new soul templates and improvements to the site. See CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines and the submission process. AI-assisted PRs are welcome.

Tech stack: Next.js 16, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Convex, GitHub OAuth, Vercel.

Local setup:

git clone https://github.com/thedaviddias/souls-directory.git
cd souls-directory
pnpm install
cp .env.example .env.local
# Add your Convex and GitHub OAuth credentials
