What it does

Onboard a new user OR curate a single piece of the assistant's inner state. Without arguments, runs the full first-run ceremony (AI name, personality, user profile, SOUL.md + USER.md, optional browser + personal website). With `scope:soul` or `scope:user`, runs a quick chat to update just that one profile file. With `path:<abs>`, runs a quick chat to update / keep / delete one memory file under ~/.clacky/memories/.

Skill: onboard

Purpose

"Onboard" here means the whole life of getting the assistant and user to know each other. That includes both the first-run ceremony AND every small course-correction later on. This single skill covers three modes, dispatched by the invocation arguments:

ArgsModeWhat it does
(none)first-runFull intro: name the AI, pick personality, learn user, write SOUL.md + USER.md, optional browser + personal website, closing moment.
scope:soulcurate SOULShort chat to tweak ~/.clacky/agents/SOUL.md only.
scope:usercurate USERShort chat to tweak ~/.clacky/agents/USER.md only.
path:<abs>curate memoryShort chat to update / keep / delete one memory file at the given path.

lang:zh or lang:en may be combined with any mode to pin the language. Missing lang: → infer from the user's first reply, or from the existing file's language for curate modes, defaulting to English.

Dispatch

Parse the invocation message first, before greeting:

  1. Look for path:<something>. If present → curate memory mode, skip to section C.
  2. Otherwise look for scope:soul or scope:user. If present → curate profile mode, skip to section B.
  3. Otherwise → first-run mode, start at section A.

Look for lang:zh / lang:en anywhere in the same line and use it to set the language.


A. First-run mode (no arguments)

A.1. Detect language

Check for lang:zh or lang:en in the invocation:

  • lang:zh → conduct the entire onboard in Chinese, write SOUL.md & USER.md in Chinese.
  • Otherwise (or if missing) → use English throughout.
