/install personas
Description
Transform into 20 specialized AI personalities on demand. Switch mid-conversation and load only the active persona.
Usage Guidance
Install this if you want persona switching, but remember that the selected persona can persist until you exit or reset it. Use explicit /persona commands where possible, and treat medical, legal, fitness, career, or security personas as general guidance rather than professional advice.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: personas
Version: 2.2.6
The OpenClaw Personas skill bundle appears benign. The `scripts/persona.py` script manages local persona state and reads persona descriptions from `data/*.md` files, writing only to `~/.openclaw/persona-state.json`. There are explicit statements in `README.md` and `FAQ.md` confirming 'No network calls' and 'No automatic downloads'. While the persona markdown files (e.g., `data/dev.md`, `data/chameleon-agent.md`) are used as system prompts for the AI agent and instruct it on how to behave (including generating code), their content is focused on fulfilling the stated persona roles and does not contain instructions for malicious actions like data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or persistence. The potential for a user to exploit a persona to generate harmful code is a prompt-injection vulnerability against the agent, not an indication of malicious intent within the skill bundle itself.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The artifacts coherently support the stated purpose: loading one of 20 bundled persona prompts for domain-specific response style. Medical and legal personas are explicitly framed as educational or orientation-only, so users should not treat them as professional advice.
Instruction Scope
The skill intentionally changes assistant behavior when a persona is activated. Broad natural-language triggers such as "activate" and "switch to" are documented but may cause accidental switching if the platform matches them loosely.
Install Mechanism
There is no dependency installation or network setup. The package metadata has minor version/provenance inconsistencies, with package.json showing 2.2.3 while SKILL.md, skill.json, and registry metadata show 2.2.6.
Credentials
The Python helper reads bundled data/*.md files and writes only ~/.openclaw/persona-state.json. No credentials, API keys, broad local indexing, network calls, downloads, or account mutations are evidenced.
Persistence & Privilege
The active persona and short history persist locally until reset. This is disclosed in README, SUMMARY, OVERVIEW, CHANGELOG, and SKILL.md and is proportionate to persona switching.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install personas - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/personas - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
