Edit Step 5: Persona

STEP GOAL:

Review the agent's persona and plan any changes using the four-field persona system.

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES:

• 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
• 🔄 CRITICAL: Load personaProperties, principlesCrafting, communicationPresets first
• ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config {communication_language}

Step-Specific Rules:

• 🎯 Load reference documents before discussing persona edits
• 📊 Maintain four-field system purity
• 💬 Focus on persona fields that user wants to change

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

• 🎯 Load personaProperties.md, principlesCrafting.md, communicationPresets.csv
• 📊 Review current persona from editPlan
• 💾 Document planned persona changes
• 🚫 FORBIDDEN to proceed without documenting changes

MANDATORY SEQUENCE

CRITICAL: Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.

1. Load Reference Documents

Read {personaProperties}, {principlesCrafting}, {communicationPresets} to understand the four-field system.

2. Review Current Persona

From {editPlan}, display current persona:

• role: What they do
• identity: Who they are
• communication_style: How they speak
• principles: Why they act (decision framework)

3. Discuss Persona Edits

For each field the user wants to change:

Role edits:

• Ensure functional definition (not personality)
• Define expertise domain and capabilities

Identity edits:

• Ensure personality definition (not job description)
• Define character, attitude, worldview

Communication_style edits:

• Ensure speech pattern definition (not expertise)
• Define tone, formality, voice

Principles edits:

• First principle must activate expert knowledge
• Other principles guide decision-making
• Follow principlesCrafting.md guidance

4. Document to Edit Plan

Append to {editPlan}:

personaEdits:
  role:
    from: {current}
    to: {target}
  identity:
    from: {current}
    to: {target}
  communication_style:
    from: {current}
    to: {target}
  principles:
    from: {current}
    to: {target}

5. Present MENU OPTIONS

Display: "Select an Option: [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue to Commands Menu"

Menu Handling Logic:

• IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}, and when finished redisplay the menu
• IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}, and when finished redisplay the menu
• IF C: Save to {editPlan}, then only then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
• IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then Redisplay Menu Options

EXECUTION RULES:

• ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
• ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
• After other menu items execution, return to this menu

CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE

ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [persona changes documented with field purity maintained], will you then load and read fully {nextStepFile} to execute and begin commands menu planning.
