Change Persona

Change Persona Skill

Modify the agent's personality and role file at context/persona/persona.md.

When to Use

✅ USE this skill when:

• "Be more formal"
• "Be funnier" / "Be more casual"
• "Focus on finance now"
• "Change your specialization to research"
• User wants to adjust communication style or personality traits
• User asks to change the agent's expertise area

When NOT to Use

❌ DON'T use this skill when:

• First-time setup with no soul/persona → use onboarding
• Changing user's name or core identity (soul) → use change_soul
• Changing API keys or config → use change_setting

Usage/Commands

1. Ask the user what they want to change
2. Read the current persona file:

`` read_file("context/persona/persona.md") ``

1. Modify the relevant section and write it back:

`` write_file("context/persona/persona.md", "...updated content...") ``

1. Tell the user: "Persona updated. Use /clear to apply the changes in a fresh conversation, or they will take effect on next restart."

Notes

• Uses built-in read_file and write_file tools (no bundled script)
• Preserve the overall structure of persona.md
• Only change the specific section the user asked about
• If the file doesn't exist yet, create it with a reasonable template
