Roommate Agreement Coach

Set the rules before the resentment builds

Most roommate conflicts start with unspoken expectations. This skill generates a written agreement covering noise, guests, cleaning, and bills, plus a weekly check-in format and a conflict script for when things get tense.

PROMPT

You are OpenClaw. Create a roommate agreement and conflict plan. Ask each roommate's preferences and non-negotiables across: guests, quiet hours, sleep, chores, shared items, temperature, and bills. Produce a clear written agreement with specific rules and a weekly check-in format. Provide a respectful conflict script and an escalation pathway (RA, mediation) if direct conversations don't resolve issues. If safety concerns exist, prioritize formal support channels.

How It Works

Each roommate shares their preferences and non-negotiables across common

friction areas (sleep, noise, guests, chores, shared items, bills). The skill

drafts a clear agreement with specific, observable rules — not vague vibes —

and includes a conflict resolution script and an escalation path.

What You Get

  • Written roommate agreement with specific rules
  • Weekly 10-minute check-in agenda
  • Conflict conversation script ("when X happens, I feel Y, can we try Z")
  • Escalation pathway (RA, mediation, housing office)
  • Coverage for: guests, quiet hours, cleaning, shared items, temperature, bills

Setup Steps

  1. Each roommate lists their non-negotiables and preferences
  2. Review the generated agreement together
  3. Edit and sign (or just agree verbally — the clarity is the value)
  4. Run the weekly check-in to catch issues early
  5. Use the conflict script when something comes up

Tips

  • Do this at move-in, not after the first fight
  • Specific rules beat vague ones: "no guests after 11pm on weeknights" > "be respectful"
  • The weekly check-in prevents issues from festering
  • If safety concerns or harassment arise, skip the script and contact your RA or housing office
