How do I add new roles to the Dynamic Role Switcher?

Simply create a new Markdown file in your 'roles/' directory. The skill will automatically discover and allow you to load it by name.

Is this skill compatible with the Motoko Context Lake pattern?

Yes, it is specifically designed to work within a filesystem-first knowledge management system like Motoko to manage AI context effectively.

Can I use more than one role at a time?

Yes, you can request multiple roles simultaneously, such as 'role architect and security', and the skill will integrate both personas into the session.

What happens if I request a role that doesn't exist?

The skill provides a helpful error message and lists all available roles currently found in your local directory for easy selection.

Does switching roles delete my previous conversation?

No, the role switch is designed to be a transition. The new role is instructed to pick up context from the existing conversation while applying new behavioral guidelines.
