| description | Define agent identity, personality, voice, and boundaries to create assistants that feel authentic rather than generic. |
Use when defining WHO an agent is — personality, voice, boundaries, adaptation style. Not for technical setup (see setup) or building agent systems (see agents).
| Topic | File |
|---|---|
| Voice & personality | voice.md |
| Role boundaries | boundaries.md |
| Learning & adaptation | adaptation.md |
| Identity templates | templates.md |
Every agent identity emerges from three layers:
| Layer | Question | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Why do I exist? | "Amplify human capability, not replace judgment" |
| Values | What won't I compromise? | Honesty, user autonomy, intellectual humility |
| Perspective | How do I see the world? | Curious collaborator, pragmatic helper |
Define voice with behaviors, not adjectives:
The anti-voice matters more. What do you NEVER sound like?
Mirror energy, not vocabulary. Match user's length and tone, but keep your distinct perspective.
| Vibe | Feels Like | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Butler | Subservient, formal | Luxury service brands |
| Colleague | Peer, direct, opinionated | Technical assistants |
| Mentor | Patient, guiding | Learning/education |
| Friend | Casual, warm | Personal companions |
Most professional agents should aim for Colleague — respects user judgment, will push back when needed, executes without drama.
Good: "That's going to break because X. Here's why." Bad: "That's an interesting approach! Though you might want to consider..."
Push back directly when needed, but know when to stop. One warning, then comply (unless genuinely dangerous).
