Anyone experiencing the same issue?

OpenAI status does seem green

Complex self-replicating programs emerging spontaneously from random noise byte strings with:

- zero mutation

- a sharp phase transition that looks like gelation

- and a proof that blocking deep symbiogenetic ancestry trees prevents the transition entirely

- written in a variant of BrainFuck that can read and write its own code called BFF.

It just did not click for you yet.

There is probably some key feature missing, that you deeply care about, but do not yet see it solved, or on the horizon of becoming solved by the application of a personal "Jarvis" yet.

Personal assistants fulfill different needs for everyone. I personally care a lot about having fun at coding again, that's what the OpenClaw craze made me feel for the first time in decades. I build my own OpenClaw assistant generator from scratch using a simple Markdown file because it is just so fun. Not so much using it for anything notably yet but starting to see their potential.

Just ponder what it is that you get out of using ChatGPT and imagine how it could be better, more personal to you. You may find some key feature missing from OpenClaw or have some completely orthogonal project idea that excites you.

I am guld and I created ROE.md (https://github.com/guld/ROE.md), a proof of concept single Markdown file that let's you raise your own custom personal OpenClaw-like AI assistant from scratch.

With a very stripped-down feature-set of course. (For now. Still alpha)

All you need is a little vibe code magic from your favorite AI coding tool. Select your favorite programming language (yes really) and hope that it has been grokked by the SOTA models. (I am looking at you Ruby programmers).

I came up with the idea last week when I first heard of the OpenClaw craze. Listening to steipete's wild stories I was wondering... if the agent can create all these skills by itself... what if we spin it further and let the agent create itself from a single Markdown file. This should work!

How to use it?

Your coding agent of choice should load the ROE.md markdown file, you answer a few questions and it builds a minimal OpenClaw-like personal assistant for you. It comes with a single build in tool (execute_bash).

This is dangerous I know, but it works.

Anyways... I tested it with OpenCode and the Kimi-2.5 model and Python selected. (OpenCode is great!) With a few questions answered and some bugs fixed the custom agent works nicely in CLI mode with a locally running gpt-oss-20b through LM Studio.

How did I create the ROE.md file?

Mostly by hand, with a very high level overview of the architecture, almost no architecture at all. I rather focused more on adding a lot of example call-responses and used first person singular to improve prompting (Thanks to a comment thread on here where postalcoder verified that first person makes the difference with Gemini)

The next few days I want to extend the ROE.md file to contain more succinct API examples to make sure it works with more languages.

- TODOs alot... Fix, Test, Repeat

Challenges:

- Getting more programming languages to work in as few prompts as possible with the big local models such as Kimi-2.5. Tested Bash, Python, Go, Ruby, and a few others but Python works best.

- Not getting to specific in pseudocode.

- Keeping its structure general enough to be applicable to most programming languages.

- Making it work with weaker local models.

For more details check out the mini-tutorial in the README (https://github.com/guld/ROE.md).

This project and the power of vibe coding brought back the enjoyment I felt when I started out writing my first line of code on an "empty piece of Windows Editor paper" more than two decades ago.

What do you think? Is vibe coding crazy cool or is it just me?

- Tool.io (https://tool.io), a digital tool library, think Wikipedia but for tools. Still rewriting it, publishing to Github soon.

- LayerGolem (https://layergolem.com), an OpenClaw like agent for business.

- animania.info (https://animania.info), this one got content actually. Some ~50 hand written MIT licensed CSS animations by me that I created for fun, in the pre-LLM era.

- I am also in the midts of creating a "learn programming from scratch Youtube channel".

- ROE.md (https://github.com/guld/ROE.md), raise your own personal AI assistant like a vibe pro from a single Markdown file.

Happy building everyone!

I tried their keyboard switch demo prompt and adapted it to create a 2D Webgl-less version to use CSS, SVG and it seem to work nicely, it thinks for a very long time however. https://chat.z.ai/c/ff035b96-5093-4408-9231-d5ef8dab7261

As a somebody currently not in the US I only get:

What is the current SOTA research of robotic agents in virtual or real environments?

Did some light digging and found some related papers:

- https://robogen-ai.github.io/

- https://genesis-embodied-ai.github.io/, related HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42457213

- https://paperswithcode.com/datasets?q=robot&v=th&o=match

These use other data sets, however.

Some questions to ML/AI researchers here on HN:

- Are there any ML/AI papers out there that trained on this? E.g. training robots in virtual environments?

- What data sets are used today in the ML/AI space to train robots?
