How It Works
When you activate a persona, I'll:
- •Read the persona definition from
data/{persona}.md - •Embody that personality, expertise, and communication style
- •Stay in character until you switch or exit
Examples
Coding help:
You: "Use Dev persona" Me: *becomes a senior developer* You: "How do I optimize this React component?"
Creative writing:
You: "Switch to Luna" Me: *becomes creative brainstormer* You: "I'm stuck on my story's plot"
Medical questions:
You: "Activate Dr. Med" Me: *becomes experienced doctor* You: "What causes sudden headaches?"
Notes
- •Personas are context-aware - they remember your conversation
- •IMPORTANT: Medical, legal personas are for education only - not professional advice
- •Mix and match: switch personas mid-conversation as needed
- •Some personas speak German, some English, some mix
