personas

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a new persona", "build me a persona", "add a skill to an existing persona", "wire a plugin into a persona", "enable a plugin for a persona", "update a persona's CLAUDE.md or profile", "set up hooks or self-improvement", "document a new MCP tool in a persona", or improve how a persona works over time. Also triggers when the user says "my persona should remember this", "this keeps happening, make it a skill", "create a persona for", or "persona evolution".

This skill should be used when the user asks to "update persona", "check for updates", "sync with framework", "persona maintenance", or mentions "persona drift", "persona outdated", or "update hooks". Detects drift between an existing persona and the current framework version, diffs persona files against current templates, and applies changes intelligently.

Bootstrap personas-mesh on the current node (WSL / Hetzner host). This skill should be used when the user asks to "install personas-mesh", "set up persona sync", "bootstrap the mesh", "wire up sync on this machine", or after pulling personas-mesh for the first time on any node. Installs bin/ scripts to ~/.local/bin, copies systemd units, renders the per-node env file, wires each persona's hooks.json with the sync hooks, adds .gitattributes, and verifies by running one sync loop. Does not modify persona-manager or any persona CLAUDE.md.

This skill should be used when a persona wants to evolve itself — the user says "self-improve", "self-audit", "time for a self-audit", "promote this to a rule", "this should be a skill", "update my rules", or "improve yourself", or the persona notices a recurring pattern worth promoting. Covers rule promotion, skill creation, tool & integration discovery, workspace hygiene, and periodic audits. Ships with the persona-manager plugin so every persona shares one canonical workflow.

Show the per-persona sync state across all nodes. This skill should be used when the user asks "are my personas in sync", "show mesh status", "personas-mesh status", "is the mesh healthy", "which personas are drifting", or just wants a one-screen dashboard of the mesh. Reads from the local node directly and optionally SSHes to cloud for the Hetzner column.

Diagnose and resolve personas-mesh sync problems. This skill should be used when the user asks to "why isn't my persona syncing", "fix the mesh", "mesh is broken", "sync conflict", "personas-mesh not working", "check why memory isn't propagating", or when personas-mesh:status flagged an issue. Walks through remote reachability, divergent commits, stash-branch resolution for conflicts, and the rarer cases (hub disk full, GitHub token expired).

Add a visual dashboard to a persona — HTML dashboard, task tracking, and browser launcher. Use when the user asks to add a dashboard, set up a dashboard, create a task board, or wants visual status for a persona.
