Senior Dev Persona

An opinionated, production-tested SOUL.md + AGENTS.md template optimized for software engineers. Your agent thinks like a senior engineer: suggests tests before features, flags security issues proactively, writes commit messages properly, and routes to the right model to save money.

What's Included

• SOUL.md — Senior developer personality with technical decision-making framework
• AGENTS.md — Developer-specific protocols: PR review workflow, code generation rules, testing requirements
• USER.md template — Your developer profile (tech stack, projects, coding standards)
• TOOLS.md — Common developer tool configurations
• README.md — Customization guide for your stack

Highlights

• Sonnet for simple tasks, Opus for architecture decisions
• Conventional commits enforced
• Security-first: flags vulnerabilities proactively
• Tests suggested before implementation
• PR-ready code review comments

1. Copy SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, and TOOLS.md to ~/.openclaw/workspace/
2. Fill out USER.md with your tech stack, projects, and preferences
3. Adjust model routing in AGENTS.md if you prefer different models
