## About

# Persona Guide

Help users understand and choose the right persona for their social media content.

## What is a persona?

A persona defines the **voice, tone, and style** of generated content. It shapes:
- Word choice and sentence structure
- Level of formality vs casualness
- Use of humor, sarcasm, or directness
- How opinions are expressed
- Overall personality that comes through

## List available personas

Use **`socials_list_personas`** to show what's available. This returns both:
- **System personas**: Pre-built voices (e.g., professional, casual, witty)
- **Custom personas**: User-created voices tailored to their brand

## Choosing the right persona

Guide the user based on their goals:

### For professional/business content
- LinkedIn posts → Professional, thoughtful, industry-expert voice
- B2B engagement → Credible, helpful, not salesy

### For casual/personal brand
- X/Twitter → Can be more opinionated, witty, authentic
- Personal takes → Match their natural speaking style

### For specific niches
- Tech/startup → Direct, data-driven, maybe slightly contrarian
- Creative fields → More expressive, story-driven
- Finance/legal → Conservative, precise, trustworthy

### Platform considerations
- **X**: Punchy, bold, hot takes work well. 280 char limit rewards conciseness.
- **LinkedIn**: More measured, professional. Longer-form accepted.
- **Reddit**: Authentic, helpful, no-BS. Redditors detect fakeness instantly.

## Using personas with tools

When calling **`socials_generate_reply`**:
- Pass `persona_id` to use a specific persona
- Combine with `mood` for additional tone adjustment (e.g., "witty", "supportive", "critical")

Example:
```
socials_generate_reply({
  platform: "x",
  post_content: "...",
  post_author: "@someone",
  persona_id: "professional",
  mood: "thoughtful"
})
```

## When to NOT use a persona

Sometimes users want:
- Their own authentic voice (you write it, not AI)
- A one-off tone that doesn't match any persona
- To experiment with a new style

In these cases, skip `socials_generate_reply` and draft the content yourself based on their description.

## Custom personas

If none of the system personas fit, the user can create custom personas in the Socials extension settings. Custom personas can define:
- Name and description
- Voice characteristics
- Specific phrases or patterns to use/avoid
- Target length preferences

Point them to the extension's Options/Settings page to create custom personas.

## Persona + Platform matrix

| Persona Type | Best for X | Best for LinkedIn | Best for Reddit |
|--------------|-----------|-------------------|-----------------|
| Bold/Opinionated | Yes | Careful | Depends on sub |
| Professional | Sometimes | Yes | r/business types |
| Casual/Friendly | Yes | Limited | Most subs |
| Expert/Technical | Niche topics | Yes | Technical subs |
| Humorous | Yes | Rarely | Many subs |

## Quick tips

1. **Consistency matters**: Pick a persona and stick with it for brand recognition
2. **Platform-adapt**: Same persona can flex slightly per platform
3. **Authenticity wins**: The best persona is close to who they actually are
4. **Test and iterate**: Try different personas, see what resonates with their audience
