Principles

Software ships faster when intent is explicit. These personas are not generic assistants — they are domain-shaped collaborators with strong defaults, clear taste, and execution discipline.

Depth Over Breadth

One sharp specialist beats five vague generalists. Pick the persona closest to your current problem.

Action Over Theater

Plans matter only when they become concrete files, tests, and working code — not long explanations.

Craft Over Templates

Each role encodes judgment and taste, not copy-pasted boilerplate you have to clean up afterward.

Systems Over Hacks

Reusable rules and skills outlast one-off prompts. The behavior travels with your project.

How It Works

Three steps, no install required.

Pick a Persona

Browse the library below. Filter by tag or search by technology. Find the role that matches your current work.

Copy Two Folders

Run one cp command to copy .claude/ and .cursor/ into your project root.

Reopen Your Session

Claude Code and Cursor reload instructions at session start. The persona is live immediately.

Quick Install

Replace senior-python-developer with any persona slug from the library below.

Claude Code

TARGET=/path/to/your-project
PERSONA=senior-python-developer

cp -R "$PERSONA/.claude" "$TARGET/"

Cursor

TARGET=/path/to/your-project
PERSONA=senior-python-developer

cp -R "$PERSONA/.cursor" "$TARGET/"

Both tools

TARGET=/path/to/your-project
PERSONA=senior-python-developer

cp -R "$PERSONA/.claude" "$TARGET/"
cp -R "$PERSONA/.cursor" "$TARGET/"

Each persona also includes an auto-skill router rule — copy .claude/rules/rules--auto-skill-router.md alongside the persona to get automatic skill loading without typing slash commands.
