I feel inspired and would like to donate my standard for Agent Personas to the community. A persona can be defined by a markdown file with the following frontmatter:

    ---
    persona: hacker
    description: logical, talks about computers a lot, enjoys coffee, somewhat snarky and arrogant
    ---
    
    <more details here>

This isn’t just a standard—this is a templating system that could offer us a straight shot to AGI!

Please consider donating this to the Linux Foundation so they can drive this inspiring innovation forward.

I have a few qualms about this standard:

1. For an experienced Claude Code user, you can already build such an agent persona quite trivially by using the /agents settings.

2. It doesn't actually replace agents. Most people I know use pre-defined agents for some tasks, but they still want the ability to create ad-hoc agents for specific needs. Your standard, by requiring them to write markdown files does not solve this ad-hoc issue.

3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the standard, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?

Have you considered publishing this with a few charts about vague levels of "correctness"?

Luckily you get the "extremely confident, even when wrong" attribute for free.

As groundbreaking as this is, it will never get traction without a LICENSE.md.
