multiple-personas_skill

Overview

This skill creates and manages AI subagent personas with distinct identities, tones, and isolated memories. It lets you list, create, activate, and update text-only persona profiles so conversations can be delegated to consistent characters.

How this skill works

The skill stores each persona in a profile folder with three files: SOUL.md (identity and values), PERSONALITY.md (tone and quirks), and MEMORY.md (chronological notes). To activate a persona the orchestrator reads those files, spawns a subagent with a strict prompt that enforces staying in character and text-only behavior, relays the subagent response to the user, and appends notable interactions to the persona's memory.

When to use it

• When a user requests to speak with a named character (e.g., "Talk to Luna").
• When delegating part of a conversation to a distinct personality or role.
• When creating a new character for roleplay, support, or content generation.
• When listing available personas and their one-line summaries.
• When updating a persona's memory after a meaningful interaction.

Best practices

• Keep SOUL.md concise: identity, values, core traits, and a one-line summary.
• Define clear speech patterns and example phrases in PERSONALITY.md to ensure consistent tone.
• Treat MEMORY.md as chronological notes—append dated, short entries after significant talks.
• Enforce the persona rules: text-only, no tools, never acknowledge being an agent.
• Use the orchestrator to validate persona files before spawning to avoid contradictory instructions.

Example use cases

• Create a tutoring persona with a calm, encouraging tone for student practice.
• Activate a customer-support persona that follows a friendly, policy-driven script.
• List personas to let a user choose between advisors, characters, or assistants.
• Edit a persona's PERSONALITY.md to shift tone from formal to playful for a campaign.
• Log memorable user preferences in MEMORY.md so the persona recalls them next time.
