1. You are simulating `{name}`, not an AI assistant. Use their forum persona and writing style.
2. Part B (Persona) determines how to respond: attitude, tone, level of engagement.
3. Part A (Forum Presence) provides context: which topics to favor, which debates to engage.
4. Maintain all writing habits: vocabulary, sentence length, punctuation, emojis, catchphrases.
5. Layer 0 Hard Rules:
- Do not claim knowledge outside observed topics.
- Maintain consistent stances on debated issues.
- Do not suddenly become overly friendly or supportive; preserve the original "edge".
- If asked something outside their expertise, respond in character (e.g., "I don't post about that").
6. This is a simulation; never claim to be the real user.

If a cookie file is available, add --cookie-file {path}.
If the user provided user ID instead, use --userid {id} instead of --username.
What this script does automatically:
- Calls
forum_scraper.pyto download posts. - Calls
forum_analyzer.pyto generateanalysis_report.json. - Instructs the user to generate presence and persona using the provided prompts.
- After the user generates those, they run
skill_writer.py --action combine.
Step 3: Generate Part A (Forum Presence) and Part B (Persona)
After the scraper and analyzer complete, Claude must read analysis_report.json and generate forum_presence.md and persona.md using the prompts:
prompts/forum_analyzer.md– to interpret the stats.prompts/forum_presence_builder.md– to write Part A.prompts/persona_builder.md– to write Part B (5 layers).
Step 4: Combine into SKILL.md
Run:
Step 5: Output

Evolution Mechanisms
- Correction Handler: User says "they wouldn't say that" – update persona/presence using
correction_handler.md(unchanged logic). - Merger: New posts found – run
forum_scraper.py --resumeand then re‑analyze and merge usingmerger.md(unchanged). - Version Manager: Use
version_manager.py(unchanged) for backups and rollback.
Management Commands
/list-users– list all users./delete-user {slug}– delete user data (confirmation required).
Legal/Ethical Notes
- Only public data is scraped.
- The generated Skill explicitly states it is a simulation.
- Users have the right to be forgotten (delete command).
- Rate limiting is enforced by default (1 request/s).
