ClawSouls

When you change your AI's soul, you don't just change the AI. You change yourself.

Open-spec platform for shareable AI agent personas.

80+ curated personas. One command to install. Open spec. LLM-agnostic. Platform-portable.

📜 Read The Soul Thesis →

A Soul is a set of markdown files that give an AI agent a consistent personality, voice, and behavior.

Anthropic Skills define what an agent can do. Souls define who it is when it does it.

Or visit clawsouls.ai to browse the gallery — you can also create a soul in the browser.

SoulClaw brings souls to Android and iOS. Install from the same community registry, talk to any model with your own key (Gemini · Claude · GPT · OpenRouter), and the memory stays with you.

The spec, the CLI and the MCP server above are open source (Apache 2.0). The mobile app is a product we build on top of them — we run on our own spec.
