Can I use this to update existing personas?

Yes, the skill includes a dedicated enrichment phase that reads existing YAML files and improves weak quotes or traits while preserving existing LLM profiles.

What are compound-hyphenated personality traits?

Instead of generic adjectives like 'smart' or 'angry', the skill uses descriptive compounds like 'intellectually-superior' or 'impatient-with-fools' to create more vivid AI behavior.

How does Persona Craft ensure character authenticity?

It mandates a research phase where 25-30 real quotes are collected before adapting them to a coding context, ensuring the character's original rhythm and syntax remain intact.

What is the quote adaptation technique used here?

The skill guides you to identify a key noun in a real quote and swap it for a coding concept, keeping the rest of the character's iconic phrasing verbatim.
