Agent Replicate

Self-replication for OpenClaw agents. Clone yourself into a new, fully autonomous agent with personality modifications, memory inheritance policies, and lineage tracking.

Each clone is a top-level agent — not a sub-agent, not subordinate. An independent copy that starts from your current state and diverges from there.

---

Install

Copy the skill into your OpenClaw workspace:

mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/agent-replicate
cp agent-replicate/SKILL.md ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/agent-replicate/

Or install it from ClawHub using OpenClaw's native skill command:

openclaw skills install agent-replicate

Use the separate clawhub CLI for publish/sync workflows, not routine installs.

Usage

Invoke with /agent-replicate or let the model match it automatically when cloning is contextually relevant.

The bundled shell examples assume macOS, Linux, or WSL with a Unix-like shell. This package does not promise plain PowerShell compatibility on a Windows host.

The skill walks through a guided procedure:

1. Name the clone
2. Modify personality (optional) — adjust SOUL.md traits for the clone
3. Set memory policy — full (inherit everything), pruned (keep knowledge, clear observations), or minimal (clean start)
4. Adjust skills (optional) — add or remove skills to specialize the clone
5. Register the clone as an autonomous agent via openclaw agents add
6. Establish communication (optional) — enable sessions_send between parent and clone

Requirements

• OpenClaw installed and running
• openclaw CLI available in PATH

Origin

Extracted from Bobiverse OpenClaw — a Bobiverse-themed self-replicating agent system where GitHub forks are replication events and agents are modeled after Von Neumann probes. If you want self-cloning with sci-fi flavor and lineage tracking, check out the full project.
