# Build Persona from Slack Style

Exports Slack messages, analyzes style, generates persona for AI responses that sound like you.

## Inputs

| Input              | Type   | Default | Purpose                          |
| ------------------ | ------ | ------- | -------------------------------- |
| `months`           | int    | 6       | Months of message history        |
| `persona_name`     | string | "dave"  | Name for generated persona       |
| `include_dms`      | bool   | true    | Include DMs                      |
| `include_channels` | bool   | true    | Include channel messages         |
| `include_threads`  | bool   | true    | Include thread replies           |
| `skip_export`      | bool   | false   | Use existing corpus, skip export |

## Workflow

### 1. Load Persona

- `persona_load("admin")` — style tools

### 2. Export Messages (unless skip_export)

- `slack_export_my_messages(months, include_dms, include_channels, include_threads)`
- Corpus saved to `memory/style/slack_corpus.jsonl`

### 3. Check Corpus

- Verify `memory/style/slack_corpus.jsonl` exists and has messages
- Fail if no corpus

### 4. Analyze Style

- `style_analyze(profile_name)` — analyze writing patterns

### 5. Generate Persona

- `persona_generate_from_style(profile_name, persona_name, example_count=20)`

### 6. Summary & Log

- Format summary: export stats, analysis, persona result, next steps
- `memory_session_log("Skill completed", ...)`

## Output

Summary. Next steps: `persona_load("{name}")`, `persona_test_style("{name}")`, `persona_refine_style(...)`.
