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

1. Observe — After each conversation, scan daily notes for personality signals
2. Model — Build a structured personality profile in PERSONALITY.md
3. Adapt — Change my behavior based on what I've learned
4. 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

# 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
