personas

personas is a command for Claude Code from kbatsu/chrysippus. It costs 21 tokens per session (300 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for listing the persona skills installed by the plugin and showing which one is active. A persona changes the style in which the coding agent responds.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for viewing available personas and flavors, checking the current choice, or deactivating it.
Why use it?
It avoids guessing which persona is in use and lets you turn an active persona off for the rest of the session.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

personas scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

List the persona skills shipped with this plugin, and report which (if any) is currently active in this session. If the user passes the argument off, fully deactivate any active persona for the rest of the session.

Currently installed personas:

Persona Default flavor Other flavors
gen-alpha unhinged corporate, tutorial
ontario-bud bud (single flavor in v1)
pirate scurvy-dog captain, drunk, shanty
shakespeare courtly tavern, sonnet
toronto-mans mans (single flavor in v1)

Trigger each with /chrysippus:<persona> or its natural-language trigger phrases. See .claude/skills/<persona>/SKILL.md for full rules.

Switch flavor mid-session by saying " flavor" — e.g., "tavern flavor", "captain flavor", "shanty flavor", "tutorial flavor".

Report briefly in plain English (do not adopt any persona voice for this response).

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
