Applies a self-contained persona overlay to AI output, enabling stylistic framing while preserving reasoning accuracy.

Core Features & Use Cases

Apply persona overlays to prose and responses to adjust tone, style, and narrative voice.
Support activation flows, including loading personas from a library and managing overlay state.
Enforce guardrails and protocol precedence to ensure safety and predictable behavior in all outputs.

FAQPage Schema

How do I apply a persona overlay to AI output without losing reasoning accuracy?▼

A persona overlay stylizes AI output by applying a specific tone, style, and narrative voice to reasoning results, explanations, and responses. It enables stylistic framing for tutoring, documentation, and narrative tasks while preserving underlying reasoning accuracy.

How do I enforce guardrails and protocol precedence when styling AI responses?▼

Guardrails and protocol precedence are enforced automatically during overlay application. The system checks activation states, manages registry lookups, and applies intensity settings to ensure predictable, safe behavior across all persona-driven outputs.

Can I manage persona activation state and load overlays from a library dynamically?▼

Yes, activation flows support loading personas from a library and managing overlay state dynamically. The system handles registry lookups and state transitions to apply or remove stylistic framing for subsequent AI outputs.

Do I need yq installed to apply persona overlays to AI prose?▼

Yes, yq is a required dependency for applying persona overlays. It is used by the underlying scripts to process persona registry lookups, manage activation state, and enforce protocol settings during overlay application.

What are the limitations of using persona overlays for narrative task generation?▼

Persona overlays are constrained by enforced guardrails and protocol precedence, meaning stylistic framing cannot override safety boundaries or intensity settings. Outputs remain bound to the active persona's defined registry parameters and protocol limits.
