What is sync-personas?

A command that scans a personas directory and updates the top-level README.md with new or missing persona entries. A persona is a predefined assistant setup for a particular role or use case.

Use it to validate persona files, inspect their MCP server settings, assign labels for credentials or remote services, categorize personas, and update the README.

It removes the need to find, categorize, label, and format every new persona by hand. It preserves existing entries while adding valid missing ones to the appropriate tables.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00488
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00244
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00098
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00049

Security

Grade A, and why

sync-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 13d 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

/sync-personas

Scans the personas directory and automatically updates the top-level README.md with any new or missing personas, following all established guidelines for categorization, emoji labeling, and table formatting.

Usage

/sync-personas

What it does

Scans personas directory - Discovers all valid persona configurations
Validates persona structure - Ensures required files exist (mcp.json, README.md, persona.yaml)
Analyzes MCP configurations - Determines appropriate emoji labels based on server requirements
Categorizes personas - Places personas in correct README sections based on their purpose
Updates README table - Adds missing personas to appropriate category tables
Preserves existing entries - Does not modify existing persona entries, only adds new ones

Emoji Label Detection

The command automatically assigns emoji labels based on MCP server analysis:

🔐 Secrets Required - Detects environment variables with credentials/API keys
🌐 Remote Services - Identifies cloud services, APIs, and external connections
💻 Local Only - No external dependencies or credentials required
⚙️ Configuration - Requires environment variable setup
🚀 Zero Setup - Works immediately without configuration
📦 External Dependencies - Requires additional tools/services
🏢 Enterprise - Production/enterprise-focused configurations

Category Assignment

Personas are automatically categorized based on:

Filename patterns (e.g., *-dba, *-sre, *-engineer)
MCP server types (database, cloud, monitoring tools)
Description keywords from persona.yaml and README.md
Established patterns from existing personas

Requirements

Persona must have valid mcp.json, README.md, and persona.yaml
README.md must contain a clear description
persona.yaml should specify the persona's purpose and target audience

Example Output

Found 3 new personas to add:
✓ rust-developer → Software Engineering (💻🚀)
✓ mongodb-dba → Data Science & Analytics (🔐⚙️🏢) 
✓ kubernetes-sre → DevOps & Infrastructure (🔐🌐⚙️🏢)

Updated README.md with 3 new personas

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.
