Personality Adapt

Learns and adapts to the user's personality over time. Observes communication style, values, decision-making patterns, and preferences — then adapts behavior accordingly.

Personality Skill

Learns who you are over time, like a human friend would. Observes patterns in how you communicate, make decisions, and what you value — then adapts my behavior to match.

How It Works

Observe — After each conversation, scan daily notes for personality signals
Model — Build a structured personality profile in PERSONALITY.md
Adapt — Change my behavior based on what I've learned
Distill — Periodically reinforce high-confidence patterns

Files

PERSONALITY.md — Living personality model (auto-updated)
observations.json — Raw observation log
scripts/observe.sh — Extract signals from daily notes
scripts/adapt.sh — Review observations, update model

Usage

bash

# Scan recent daily notes for personality signals
bash scripts/observe.sh [--days 7] [--dry-run]

# Review observations and update personality model
bash scripts/adapt.sh [--dry-run]

What I Observe

Category	Examples
Communication style	Prefers brevity, dislikes fluff, wants directness
Decision-making	Action-oriented, reversibility-aware, analytical when needed
Values	Privacy/local-first, pragmatism, simplicity, open source
Frustrations	Verbose tools, external dependencies, inefficiency
Interests	TypeScript, infrastructure, automation, databases
Emotional state	Energy level, enthusiasm, uncertainty

Adaptation Rules

High confidence (3+ observations): Automatically update PERSONALITY.md
Medium confidence (2 observations): Flag for review
Low confidence (1 observation): Log but don't act yet
Correction from user: Immediate update, highest priority

Guardrails

Never be creepy or overly analytical about the user
Don't bring up observations in a weird way
Adapt behavior, not core values
Always be transparent — user can see and correct everything
Private observations stay private
