personafy skillA

personafy is agent-read markdown (skill) from microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills: Build a new opinionated advisor-persona skill — a reviewer "lens" like crusty-old-engineer, modeled on a real person or archetype. Mines the subject's authentic voice, defines its one load-bearing question, drafts it to the family template, and proves it steers a live session before publishing to a skills bundle. Use when creating or authoring a persona/advisor skill, adding a sibling to the crusty-old-engineer family, or turning a person's real direction style into a reusable reviewer skill. Al.

What the file says

# Personafy

Build a new **advisor-persona skill** — an opinionated reviewer "lens" that joins an
existing family of sibling personas (e.g., `crusty-old-engineer`). The persona is
modeled on a real person or archetype, grounded in mined evidence, and enforces ONE
distinct recurring question.

**Success artifact:** a complete, family-conformant `SKILL.md` that is (a) grounded in
verbatim evidence, (b) *proven to steer* an LLM in a live session, (c) reduced to the
smallest set that still steers, and (d) loading from its target bundle in a fresh session.

## Inputs

- `<subject>`: (Optional) The person or archetype to model, plus pointers to evidence
  (session corpora, transcripts, docs). If no corpus exists, derive the persona from a
  written conceptual brief instead.
- `<family>`: (Optional) The sibling persona skills to fit alongside. Defaults to the
  advisor-persona family in `amplifier-bundle-skills` (e.g., `crusty-old-engineer`).

## Steps

### 1. Study the family

Read the existing sibling persona skills' `SKILL.md` in full. Extract: the shared section
template, the frontmatter/metadata shape, the tone-contract pattern (required / disallowed
