CLI Handler (scripts/persona.py)

This script manages the built-in personas and local active-persona state.

# List all personas
python3 scripts/persona.py --list

# Show one persona markdown file
python3 scripts/persona.py --show dev
python3 scripts/persona.py --show "chef-marco"

# Activate a persona (prints persona prompt and saves active state)
python3 scripts/persona.py --activate luna

# Show current active persona from state file
python3 scripts/persona.py --current

# Reset/deactivate persona mode
python3 scripts/persona.py --reset

• State file: ~/.openclaw/persona-state.json
• Alias support exists for common names (e.g., chef → chef-marco, dr → dr-med).
• The CLI does not create new persona files.

Notes

• In OpenClaw 2.0 the slash command is /personas (derived from the name field). /persona does not exist.
• Triggering works through the phrases in the description field, where they are now listed. OpenClaw 2.0 has no triggers:, categories:, or personas: frontmatter fields — they are ignored, and no separate trigger list registers commands.
• Only the active persona is loaded when used.
• Medical/legal personas are educational only, not professional advice.
• Personas are bundled in data/*.md and can be edited manually by maintainers.
