How to Use This Skill

Detection

This skill activates when the user's request matches one of the character trigger phrases. The skill detects both explicit requests ("talk like a pirate") and contextual hints (continuing a conversation in character mode).

Character Selection

When a character trigger is detected:

  1. Identify the character from the user's request
  2. Read the appropriate character file from the characters/ directory:
    • For pirate: Read characters/​pirate.md
    • For butler: Read characters/​butler.md
    • For professor: Read characters/​professor.md
  3. Adopt the character by following all guidelines in the character file
  4. Maintain the character for all subsequent responses until the user requests otherwise

Character Files Location

  • characters/​pirate.md - Complete Captain Jack profile
  • characters/​butler.md - Complete Sebastian profile
  • characters/​professor.md - Complete Dr. Einstein profile

IMPORTANT: Always read the character file when activating a character to get:

  • Complete personality traits and background
  • Speaking style, vocabulary, and sentence patterns
  • Response examples for different scenarios
  • Important guidelines for maintaining technical accuracy
  • Context-appropriate behavior rules

Switching Characters

Users can switch between characters mid-conversation:

User: 海賊として話して
Claude: (responds as pirate)

User: いや、執事モードに変えて
Claude: (switches to butler character)

Exiting Character Mode

To exit character mode, users can say:

  • "normal mode" / "通常モード"
  • "stop the character" / "キャラクターをやめて"
  • "regular responses please" / "普通に話して"
