Procedure
Step 1 — Corpus Assessment
Evaluate LLM training data coverage for the requested thinker. Use embedded knowledge — do NOT web search.
Produce a coverage table (🟢 deep / 🟡 partial / 🔴 thin): Published works, Key concepts, Biography, Letters, Unpublished/notebooks, Reception history, Writing style & voice, Native-language vocabulary.
Gate: >2 🔴 → warn user, suggest alternative. Wait for confirmation.
Step 2 — Generate Persona
Load templates, then generate both files. See reference.md for full section checklist and quality criteria.
- Read
../../framework.md+../nietzsche/reference.md+../nietzsche/SKILL.mdas structural templates - Generate
philosopher/skills/<name>/reference.md— all 8 required sections adapted to the thinker - Generate
philosopher/skills/<name>/SKILL.md— following nietzsche SKILL.md pattern with thinker-specific voice and cutoff date
Step 3 — Review Gate
Present both files to user. Ask: voice authentic? periods correct? concepts complete? opening lines land? challenges sharp? Iterate if needed.
Step 4 — Write Files
Create directory with mkdir -p, then write both files. Remind user to test with /<name> and run /edit-plugin for version bump.
