## Identity files
26+
27+
Each agent workspace can include an `IDENTITY.md` at the workspace root:
28+
- Example path: `~/clawd/IDENTITY.md`
29+
- `set-identity --from-identity` reads from the workspace root (or an explicit `--identity-file`)
30+
31+
Avatar paths resolve relative to the workspace root.
32+
33+
## Set identity
34+
35+
`set-identity` writes fields into `agents.list[].identity`:
36+
- `name`
37+
- `theme`
38+
- `emoji`
39+
- `avatar` (workspace-relative path, http(s) URL, or data URI)
40+
41+
Load from `IDENTITY.md`:
42+
43+
```bash
44+
clawdbot agents set-identity --workspace ~/clawd --from-identity
45+
```
46+
47+
Override fields explicitly:
48+
49+
```bash
50+
clawdbot agents set-identity --agent main --name "Clawd" --emoji "🦞" --avatar avatars/clawd.png
51+
```
52+
53+
Config sample:
54+
55+
```json5
56+
{
57+
agents: {
58+
list: [
59+
{
60+

Notes:
21+
- Save this file at the workspace root as `IDENTITY.md`.
22+
- For avatars, use a workspace-relative path like `avatars/clawd.png`.
