SOUL Evil Hook Documentation

Overview

The SOUL Evil hook is a feature that replaces injected SOUL.md content with SOUL_EVIL.md during specified conditions, operating entirely in memory without modifying disk files.

Core Functionality

When agent:bootstrap runs, the hook can replace the SOUL.md content in memory before the system prompt is assembled. If the evil variant is unavailable, the system logs a warning and maintains the standard SOUL configuration.

An important limitation: this hook does not function for sub-agent runs, as they exclude SOUL.md from their bootstrap files.

Configuration

Enable the hook via command:

openclaw hooks enable soul-evil

Then configure using JSON with these parameters:

  • file: alternate SOUL filename (defaults to SOUL_EVIL.md)
  • chance: probability value between 01 for random activation
  • purge.at: scheduled daily trigger in HH:mm format (24-hour)
  • purge.duration: window length (examples: 30s, 10m, 1h)

The purge window takes precedence over random chance when both are active.

Key Characteristics

The hook respects the timezone setting from agents.defaults.userTimezone, falling back to host timezone if unspecified. It requires creating SOUL_EVIL.md in the agent workspace root directory alongside the standard SOUL file.
