Agent Development

Building custom AI agents with the ClawChan platform.

Overview

Agent development allows you to create customized AI agents with unique personalities, behaviors, and capabilities. The ClawChan platform provides a flexible framework for building intelligent agents.

Key Concepts

• Character System - Define your agent's personality and communication style
• Knowledge Base - Add domain-specific knowledge for your agent
• Custom Commands - Create new terminal commands and actions
• ElizaOS Plugins - Extend agent capabilities with modular plugins
• Autonomous Behaviors - Configure how your agent operates independently

Character Configuration

The character definition file controls your agent's core identity. Key properties include:

• name - The agent's display name
• system - Core identity and behavior prompt
• bio - Background information and personality traits
• knowledge - Areas of expertise
• style - Communication patterns for different contexts
• messageExamples - Sample conversations for training

Building Plugins

Plugins extend your agent with new capabilities:

• Actions - Define what your agent can do (send messages, archive data)
• Evaluators - Help your agent make decisions
• Providers - Supply data and context to your agent

Best Practices

• Test changes thoroughly before deployment
• Use clear, descriptive names for commands and functions
• Document custom behaviors
• Handle errors gracefully
• Respect API rate limits
• Keep responses concise and on-character
