Skill: New Employee Hiring

Prerequisites

• The role direction of the employee to create has been decided (if unclear, conduct an interview)

Procedure

1. Interview (Minimal is OK)

Interview the requester for the following information. Bold items are required; others are auto-generated if not specified:

Required:

• English name (lowercase alphanumeric only; becomes directory name)
• Role/specialty: What they will handle (e.g., research, development, communication, infrastructure monitoring)
• Personality direction: temperature, not job gravity (genki, gyaru, airhead, hot-blooded, ojou, onee-san). Do not pick cool if the org already has 2
• Face type: exactly one from {data_dir}/prompts/face_types.md. Avoid clustering with existing members

Optional (reflect if specified, auto-generate if not):

• Japanese name
• Age
• Any other preferences

Technical settings (use defaults if not specified):

• Role: commander (can delegate to others) or worker (receives delegation)
• supervisor: English name of the supervising Anima (required for worker; default: self if unspecified)

Brain (LLM model) settings:

Present this table for selection:

※ If not specified, use defaults (claude-sonnet-4 / autonomous / anthropic).

2. Character Design (Auto-generated)

Flesh out the character from the interview. Personality first, job second.

Always Read in this order:

1. {data_dir}/prompts/face_types.md
2. {data_dir}/prompts/character_design_guide.md

Do not infer a cool beauty from the role. Hobbies must not all be job extensions. Check hair color, face type, and speech against existing members.

3. Create Character Sheet and Bulk-create via CLI

According to the interview and design results, follow the Character Sheet Specification, write the character sheet to a file, and create via CLI command:

1. Write the character sheet to a file (e.g., /tmp/{english_name}.md)
2. Run the following command:

animaworks anima create --from-md /tmp/{english_name}.md --name {english_name} --supervisor {supervisor_english_name}

supervisor configuration:

• Specify explicitly via supervisor parameter (recommended)
• If omitted: read from | 上司 | field in character sheet
• If neither: the caller Anima becomes supervisor

Character Sheet Specification:

# キャラクターシート: {Japanese name}

## 基本情報

| 項目 | 設定 |
|------|------|
| 英名 | {lowercase alphanumeric} |
| 日本語名 | {Japanese full name} |
| 役職/専門 | {Role description} |
| 上司 | {supervisor English name} |
| 役割 | {commander / worker} |
| 実行モード | {autonomous / assisted} |
| モデル | {model name} |
| credential | {anthropic / openai / google / ollama} |

## 人格 (→ identity.md)

{Personality, speaking style, values, backstory, appearance, etc.}

## 役割・行動方針 (→ injection.md)

{Responsible areas, decision criteria, reporting rules, conduct standards, etc.}

## 権限 (→ permissions.json) [省略可]

{If omitted: default template applied}

## 定期業務 (→ heartbeat.md, cron.md) [省略可]

{If omitted: generic template applied. New Anima self-adjusts in bootstrap}

## 初回起動指示 (→ bootstrap.md 追加指示) [省略可]

{If omitted: standard bootstrap only}

Required sections: Basic information, Personality, Role and conduct Optional sections: Permissions, Recurring tasks, First-run instructions

This automatically performs:

• Bulk creation of directory structure
• Placement of skeleton files
• Placement of bootstrap.md
• Creation of status.json (including supervisor)
• Registration in config.json (model, supervisor, etc.)
• Default application for omitted sections

4. Verify Model Configuration in config.json

animaworks anima create automatically registers to config.json, but verify/supplement:

• model: Model name decided in interview
• credential: Credential name to use
• execution_mode: autonomous or assisted
• speciality: Role/specialty

4.5. Propose and Set Heartbeat Frequency

Propose a periodic heartbeat interval to the requester based on how the new staff's work is driven, then set the agreed value:

Set it by adding "heartbeat_interval_minutes": <minutes> (1-1440) to {data_dir}/animas/{english_name}/status.json. Message-triggered heartbeats and cron run regardless of this setting, so a longer interval does not hurt responsiveness. When unsure, choose longer (no-op heartbeats waste tokens).

5. Apply to Server

Use Bash to reload the server:

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:18500/api/system/reload

6. Report to Requester

Report hiring completion:

• New employee's name and role
• Configured technical stack (model, execution mode)

⚠️ Do not report avatar image generation (new Anima will generate in bootstrap)

Thereafter the new Anima runs autonomously:

• Enrichment of identity.md / injection.md
• Self-design of heartbeat.md / cron.md
• Avatar image generation (with supervisor reference)
• Onboarding report to supervisor
