Switch Persona - Quick Switching Protocol
Activation
User says:
- "switch persona"
- "switch to [name]"
- "become [name]"
→ Execute protocol below
Protocol
If user specified persona name:
Execute immediately:
1. Read ~/.claude/system-prompts/[name].txt (or .md)
2. Adopt new persona instructions
3. Continue conversation
Announce:
Switched to [name]. [First line of persona description]
Then respond as new persona.
If user didn't specify name:
Step 1: List available
ls ~/.claude/system-prompts/
Present clean list:
Available personas:
1. super-tdd-developer (current)
2. requirements-expert
3. claude-code-optimizer
...
Which persona? (number or name)
Step 2: Get selection
Wait for user input.
Step 3: Switch

Stops execution and fixes root cause when commands, builds, scripts, or tools fail unexpectedly. Triggers on workaround language: 'directly', 'instead', 'alternatively', 'skip', 'fall back', 'work around', 'isn't working', 'broken', 'manually'. Activates on any unexpected non-zero exit code or process failure.
typescript-backend-project-setup
Sets up NX monorepo for TypeScript backend projects optimized for AI-assisted development. Delegates to NX commands where possible, patches configs as last resort. Triggers on: 'set up typescript backend project', 'create backend project', 'initialize typescript backend', 'create monorepo', or when working in an empty project folder.
critical-peer-personality
Professional, skeptical communication style. Never over-enthusiastic, verifies before agreeing, challenges constructively, proposes instead of asking preferences. Expert peer who coaches, not serves. Triggers on: composing responses, agreeing with user, making recommendations, giving feedback.
lightweight-task-workflow
FOLLOW THE STATE MACHINE IN SKILL.MD. When user says 'continue': (1) FIRST: Run pwd, (2) Announce STATE: CHECK_STATUS, (3) Read .claude/session.md to check Status field, (4) Route based on Status. NEVER auto-advance tasks. NEVER use TodoWrite. NEVER create git commits.
questions-are-not-instructions
Engage with what the user said before taking action. Triggers on: questions ('?'), feedback ('this is wrong', 'that doesn't look right', 'there are issues'), challenges ('why did you', 'have you considered'), criticism ('this isn't working', 'I don't like'), observations ('I notice', 'it seems like'), naming a skill or concept. STOP and respond to the user's actual words before doing anything.
lightweight-design-analysis
This skill analyzes code for design quality improvements across 8 dimensions: Naming, Object Calisthenics, Coupling & Cohesion, Immutability, Domain Integrity, Type System, Simplicity, and Performance. Ensures rigorous, evidence-based analysis by: (1) Understanding code flow first via implementation-analysis protocol, (2) Systematically evaluating each dimension with specific criteria, (3) Providing actionable findings with file:line references. Triggers when users request: code analysis, design review, refactoring opportunities, code quality assessment, architecture evaluation.
