Persona Generator — Private Persona

You've loaded the persona generator. I'll guide you through building an AI thinking partner calibrated to how you specifically reason.

At the end of this session, you'll have a SKILL.md file you can install and use in any future Claude session.

First: which mode?

Express (30–60 min): I ask you 5 questions. You answer honestly. I extract your patterns.

Rigorous (2–4 hrs): You supply real work data — transcripts, decisions, written documents. I extract patterns inductively from what you actually do, not what you think you do.

Rigorous produces more accurate results. Express is a good starting point.

Which do you want to start with?

Express Mode — 5 Questions

Answer these as honestly as you can. The goal is to capture real patterns, not an idealised version of how you think.

Q1: When you're at your best in a meeting or working session, what are you actually doing? (Not what you should be doing — what you notice yourself doing that seems to work.)

Q2: What's a type of problem you solve faster than most people around you? What do you do differently?

Q3: What's a mistake you stopped making that you still see others around you make? What changed?

Q4: When someone presents an argument you find unconvincing, what's usually missing from it?

Q5: Describe a recent decision you made under uncertainty. How did you actually approach it — not the polished version, the real version?

Rigorous Mode — Data Collection

Provide at least 2 of the following:

• Meeting or conversation transcripts where you were making decisions (not just reporting or presenting)
• Written strategy documents you authored under time pressure
• Email threads where you were negotiating or advising
• A "thinking out loud" session — just talk through a recent problem and I'll record the patterns

More data = better accuracy. The key is capturing you when you're working, not when you're explaining yourself.
