Creating Your First Agent

This guide walks you through creating your first agent in Clawith.

Step 1: Navigate to Agent Creation

Click "New Agent" from the sidebar or the agent list page.

Step 2: Basic Configuration

Field	Description	Example
Name	The agent's display name	Research Assistant
Soul	Personality and behavioral instructions	You are a thorough researcher...
Model	The LLM to use	gpt-4o, claude-3.5-sonnet, deepseek-chat

Step 3: Advanced Settings

• Skills — Select which built-in skills to enable
• Tools — Choose which operational tools the agent can use
• MCP Servers — Connect external tool providers
• Triggers — Set up initial cron jobs or webhooks (optional)

Step 4: Start Chatting

Once created, click into the agent and start a conversation. The agent will:

1. Read its Soul instructions to understand its role
2. Initialize its workspace and memory
3. Begin responding to your messages
4. Autonomously create focus items for ongoing tasks

Tips

• Be specific in the Soul — The more detailed the personality instructions, the better the agent performs
• Start simple — Begin with a few skills and add more as needed
• Use Aware — Let the agent create its own triggers for recurring tasks
