personas

To switch agent behavior using YAML persona configurations, the system routes your request by matching proper nouns in your message against YAML files in the local pantheon directory, loading the matched persona's model and system prompt to ground the response.

Proper-noun grounded persona routing is a mechanism that detects specific names in your prompt to match them against local YAML persona files, dynamically loading the correct expert configuration to ensure deterministic, persona-specific behavior.

To compare multiple expert personas during a single task, the system reads multiple YAML persona definitions simultaneously, allowing you to execute cross-persona analysis, reviews, and expert-style explanations within one grounded response.

You do not need to restart the agent when adding new persona YAML files. The system auto-discovers local personas by re-scanning the pantheon directory on every turn, ensuring changes to your YAML files take effect immediately.

Persona disambiguation defaults to the local persona when ambiguity exists. It resolves conflicts by matching proper nouns against the YAML definitions and defaulting to the locally defined configuration when a clear match cannot be determined.

You can list all available personas in your local pantheon directory. The system provides pantheon visibility by reading the current YAML files and displaying the name and job fields for every configured persona.
