# AgentSoul > AgentSoul is a marketplace and forge for portable AI agent identities. Take a 49-question Enneagram-based test (or upload screenshots, or guide a Chinese-language dialogue) and get back four Markdown files — soul.md, identity.md, user.md, agents.md — that drop directly into Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, Hermes, or any agent harness. The same soul reads cleanly across every tool, so your agent's voice stays consistent across the stack. AgentSoul is published by Innovatorly Ltd (London, UK) at agentsoul.market. The product is free during early access — no payment, no waitlist, open Markdown format. Brand-new domain as of May 2026, split from the SetupOpenClaw product line. ## What a soul is A soul is a portable identity bundle for an AI agent: personality, memory, voice, and writing style, encoded as four plain-Markdown files that any modern agent harness can read. - [soul.md](https://agentsoul.market/en/learn/soul-md/): Personality and tone — nine traits derived from Enneagram type, plus voice and disposition. - [identity.md](https://agentsoul.market/en/learn/identity-md/): Who the agent is talking to, project context, and agreed-upon facts. Portable across tools. - [user.md](https://agentsoul.market/en/learn/user-md/): The user's preferences, working style, and constraints — what the agent should remember about you. - [agents.md](https://agentsoul.market/en/learn/agents-md/): Output style, structure, signoffs, and inter-agent handoff conventions. ## Forge modes - [Deep Forge](https://agentsoul.market/en/forge/deep/quiz/): 49-question Enneagram wizard. ~12 minutes.
