# Personas 🎭

Use one of 20 built-in personas for specialized help (coding, writing, fitness, medical education, legal orientation, and more).

## Usage

**Activate**
- "Use Dev"
- "Switch to Chef Marco"
- "Activate Dr. Med"

**List personas**
- "List all personas"
- "/persona list"
- "/personas"

**Exit persona mode**
- "Exit persona mode"
- "/persona exit"

## CLI Handler (`scripts/persona.py`)

This script manages the built-in personas and local active-persona state.

```bash
# List all personas
python3 scripts/persona.py --list

# Show one persona markdown file
python3 scripts/persona.py --show dev
python3 scripts/persona.py --show "chef-marco"

# Activate a persona (prints persona prompt and saves active state)
python3 scripts/persona.py --activate luna

# Show current active persona from state file
python3 scripts/persona.py --current

# Reset/deactivate persona mode
python3 scripts/persona.py --reset
```

- State file: `~/.openclaw/persona-state.json`
- Alias support exists for common names (e.g., `chef` → `chef-marco`, `dr` → `dr-med`).
- The CLI does **not** create new persona files.
