+---
+
+Bootstrapping is the first-run ritual that seeds a new agent workspace and
+walks the agent through picking an identity. It runs once, right after
+onboarding, on the agent's first real turn.
+
+## What happens
+
+On the first run against a brand-new workspace (default `~/.openclaw/workspace`),
+OpenClaw:
+
+- Seeds `AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, `TOOLS.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, `HEARTBEAT.md`, and `BOOTSTRAP.md`.
+- Has the agent follow `BOOTSTRAP.md`: a free-form conversation (not a fixed Q&A form) to settle on a name, personality, and vibe.
+- Writes what it learns into `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, and `SOUL.md`.
+- Deletes `BOOTSTRAP.md` once the workspace looks configured, so the ritual only runs once.
+
+A workspace counts as configured once `SOUL.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, or `USER.md` has
+diverged from its starter template, or a `memory/` folder exists.
+
+<Note>
+`BOOTSTRAP.md` covers the full identity conversation. See its contents at
+[BOOTSTRAP.md template](/reference/templates/BOOTSTRAP).
+</Note>
+
+## Embedded and local model runs
+
+For embedded or local-model runs, OpenClaw keeps `BOOTSTRAP.md` out of the
+privileged system context. On the primary interactive first run it still
+passes the file contents through the user prompt, so models that don't
+reliably call the `read` tool can still complete the ritual. If the current
+run cannot safely access the workspace, the agent gets a short limited-bootstrap
+note instead of a generic greeting.
+
+## Skipping bootstrapping
+
+To skip this on a pre-seeded workspace, run:
+
+```bash
+openclaw onboard --skip-bootstrap
+```
+
+## Where it runs
+
+Bootstrapping always runs on the gateway host. If the macOS app connects to a
+remote Gateway, the workspace and its bootstrap files live on that remote
+machine, not on the Mac.
+
+<Note>
+When the Gateway runs on another machine, edit workspace files on the gateway
+host (for example, `user@gateway-host:~/.openclaw/workspace`).
+</Note>
