agent-profile-images

name: agent-profile-images
version: 1.0.0
author: Charles Sears
description: Adds agent profile image upload, AI generation, preview/keep-regenerate-cancel flow, and avatar persistence fixes to the OpenClaw Control UI.

What This Skill Adds

1. Agent Profile Image Card in Agents → Overview

Adds a dedicated Profile Image section to the Agents Overview panel with:

• current avatar preview
• upload button
• remove button
• theme selector
• custom generation instructions
• generate button
• preview state messaging

2. Avatar Upload RPC

Adds agents.avatar.upload so the Control UI can upload a PNG/JPG/WEBP/GIF image and save it into the agent workspace.

3. AI Avatar Generation RPC

Adds agents.avatar.generate for themed image generation using OpenAI Images.

4. Preview / Keep / Regenerate / Cancel Loop

Generation does not auto-save. Instead:

• Generate → preview only
• Keep → saves generated image as the agent avatar
• Regenerate → requests a new preview
• Cancel → discards preview and preserves the previous avatar

5. Persistent Avatar Resolution

Fixes the gateway agent-list/session-utils path so avatar information from workspace IDENTITY.md is reflected correctly across Agents UI, chat UI, refreshes, and reloads.

6. Fresh Identity Reloads on Agents Tab

Fixes stale UI state by forcing the Agents tab to refresh identity data when entering the tab and after avatar-changing actions.

Backend Methods Added

Theme Presets Included

• Professional
• Sci-Fi
• Cyberpunk
• Fantasy
• Space Opera
• Creature Collector
• Mascot
• Noir

Storage Model

Saved avatars are written into the agent workspace under avatars/ and persisted via IDENTITY.md using:

- Avatar: avatars/profile.png

This reuses the existing Control UI avatar serving path (/avatar/:agentId) and keeps images portable with the agent workspace.

Notes

• This skill packages the source-level feature implementation.
• A temporary live compiled-bundle hotfix was used during development to unblock testing, but that tactical dist patch is not part of this skill package.
• OpenAI image generation is currently the implemented provider path in this package.
• The full OpenClaw repo may contain unrelated build/runtime issues outside this feature; this skill is scoped only to agent profile image functionality.
