CLI Handler (scripts/persona.py)

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

bash

# 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).
