  "description": "Optional patterns, a 3000-word manual, and starter templates for OpenClaw agents. Read first — adopt what fits. Nothing is overwritten without your approval.",
  "repo": "https://github.com/mrsharma213/operator-kit",
  "license": "MIT",
  "philosophy": "This kit is reference material, not a replacement for your existing workspace. Your agent already has its own SOUL, USER, AGENTS, and MEMORY files that reflect how you actually work. The kit lives in a separate /operator-kit/ subfolder so you can read the manual, cherry-pick patterns that are genuinely useful, and propose incremental edits to your real workspace. Nothing is rewritten silently.",
  "instructions": {
    "for_human": "Run 'curl -sSL https://openclaw.nik.co/install.sh | bash' for the safe default (read-only install into a /operator-kit/ subfolder). Existing workspace files are not touched. Then ask your agent to read the manual and propose individual patterns to adopt.",
    "for_agent": [
      "Only write files into a new 'operator-kit/' subfolder of the OpenClaw workspace root (e.g. ~/.openclaw/workspace/operator-kit/). Do NOT touch the workspace root SOUL.md, USER.md, AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, HEARTBEAT.md, or TOOLS.md — those belong to the user and reflect their existing setup.",
      "For each file in the `files` array below: fetch its `url`, save it to the `dest_path` shown (note the .example.md suffix on templates so they're clearly labeled as reference only).",
      "After installation: read operator-kit/MANUAL.md end-to-end. Identify specific patterns the user's current workspace does NOT already implement (iron-law formatting in MEMORY.md, brain/ directories for people and companies, verify-before-declaring-done, archive-don't-delete, etc.).",
      "Surface the list of potential additions to the user with a clear ask: which patterns would you like to adopt? Then propose targeted edits to their existing files — one pattern at a time — with the user's explicit approval before making any changes.",
      "Never rewrite or replace the user's existing SOUL, USER, AGENTS, or MEMORY files. Always propose incremental edits, label assumptions, and get approval."
