/gobby persona
Switch the current session to a persona-capable agent definition.
This command is for conversational session switching, not autonomous agent spawning.
It updates the session persona and skill selection for the next user turn.
Behavior
- Do not spawn an agent.
- Do not change provider, model, reasoning effort, or isolation.
- Use
gobby-agents.apply_persona as the canonical operation.
Workflow
-
If the user did not provide a persona name:
- List available persona-capable definitions with
gobby-workflows.list_agent_definitions(surface_filter="persona").
- Present the names and short descriptions.
- Ask which persona to load.
-
If the user provided a persona name:
- Call
gobby-agents.apply_persona(agent="<name>").
- Report whether the switch succeeded.
- Tell the user the updated persona will apply on the next turn.
-
If the requested definition is not persona-capable or does not exist:
- Surface the error clearly.
- Offer to list available personas.
Notes
/gobby persona planner should make the current session behave like the planner persona./gobby persona default should restore the default conversational persona.- If the user wants an autonomous worker, that is a different operation: use agent spawning tools instead.
