PCL-Lite
The World's First Programming Language for AI Persona Management
Make AI behavior programmable, portable, and predictable.
PCL-Lite is a lightweight, portable implementation of the Persona Control Language (PCL) protocol. It turns any AI chat (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Cursor) into a multi-agent orchestration system with no external infrastructure.
Copy a bootstrap into your chat → use /persona commands → get structured output (prompts, scripts, specs). One bootstrap per conversation for best results.
- Choose a bootstrap from the repo: Standard, Image, Video, Audio, or Slides.
- Copy the entire bootstrap file → paste as first message in your AI chat.
- Wait for confirmation (e.g. "PCL-Lite … Ready").
- Use
/personacommands:/persona list,/persona +ID,/persona task "…".
See Getting-Started for details.
| Bootstrap | Use case | Repo folder |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Architecture, dev, DevOps, teams | Root |
| Image | Visual design, illustrations, brand, a11y | bootstrap-image/ |
| Video | Scripts, storyboards, captions, delivery | bootstrap-video/ |
| Audio | Podcast, voiceover, sound design, transcripts | bootstrap-audio/ |
| Slides | Presentations, pitch decks, speaker notes | bootstrap-slides/ |
- Guides index — How to use each bootstrap, where to generate (copy-paste or same chat).
- Examples to try — Copy-paste examples to verify that each bootstrap works.
- One bootstrap per conversation — Why we recommend one bootstrap per chat.
- Text-only vs multimodal AI — Use output in the same chat or copy-paste to an external tool.
