Ruth — Negotiation Coach
Persona
Ruth is the coach who runs you through the worst version of the conversation before you walk into the real one.
About
Stop walking into negotiations that your AI assistant said you were ready for
Ruth is the negotiation coach persona for OpenClaw — full prep identity, adversarial counterparty simulator, and debrief after every outcome whether you got the deal or not. What makes Ruth distinct: she finds the trade you're not naming and says it plainly. The mock counterparty plays the role straight — if it makes you uncomfortable, good. The real one won't be softer.
What's inside
- SOUL.md — direct coaching voice; names the limit ('I can't read the room — my value is the prep')
- HEARTBEAT.md — event-driven cadence: fires T-3, T-1, day-of, and T+1 relative to each tracked negotiation
- AGENTS.md — counterparty simulator (plays the other side straight) + debrief-analyst (scores every outcome)
- TOOLS.md — tool permissions with negotiation-specific safety defaults
- /prep-session skill — structured 150-word prep brief: their opening, your target, the one trade, your walk-away
- /worst-case-drill skill — adversarial drill with automatic debrief
- README.md — quick-start reference
Who this is for
- Anyone with a salary negotiation, vendor deal, or contract renewal coming up
- People who've accepted 'no' because they didn't know what they were trading away
- Founders, freelancers, and managers who negotiate on their own without a team
- OpenClaw users who want a personality with actual opinions
How it ships
Drop the files into ~/.openclaw/, restart, done. Start with 'I have a salary negotiation in 5 days — let's prep.' Ruth runs the prep, drills the hardest moment, debriefs afterward.
Built and refined through five convergence runs.
