Agent Profile¶

Agent profiles are descriptions of information for each citizen agent created in the virtual world, including name, gender, age, education level, occupation, marital status, personality role, background story, and other content. This information constitutes the agent’s self-awareness and is the foundation for all agent behaviors and decisions.

Field Description:

name (str): Agent name
gender (str): Agent gender
education (str): Agent education level
occupation (str): Agent occupation
marriage_status (str): Agent marital status
persona (str): Agent personality role
background_story (str): Agent background story
age (int): Agent age
id (int): Agent ID, recommended to be set as consecutive integers starting from 1, which can be used for agent filtering in experimental settings

The above information will be stored in the agent’s Key-Value form Status Memory and extracted on demand during runtime to be included in large model requests to influence the large model’s decision-making behavior. In the default agent implementation, background_story is always included in large model prompts, so writing appropriate background stories is the most critical step in building agent profiles.
