Examples to try — verify that PCL-Lite works

Use these copy-paste examples to check that each bootstrap works in your chat. For each example: paste the bootstrap first (first message), wait for the Ready confirmation, then run the commands below.


Quick check (any bootstrap)

After pasting a bootstrap, run:

/persona list
/persona status

You should see: a list of personas (or a confirmation that the runtime knows them), and a status block (Active, Primary, Merge, etc.). If you get that, the bootstrap is loaded.


1. Standard (general)

Bootstrap: bootstrap_lite_en.md (root of repo)

Steps:

  1. Copy the entire content of bootstrap_lite_en.md → paste as first message in your chat.
  2. Wait for a reply like "PCL-Lite Bootstrap v1.0 Ready" or "Available: 22 personas | 10 teams".
  3. Paste and send:
/persona +ARCHI +SEC
/persona task "In 3 bullet points: what are the top 3 security considerations for a public REST API?"

What to verify: The answer should sound like an architect and a security expert (e.g. auth, rate limiting, input validation, HTTPS). Tone should be analytical/vigilant, not generic.

Optional — team:

/persona clear
/persona team load security-review
/persona task "Same question: top 3 security considerations for a public REST API"

You should get a response consistent with the security-review team (ARCHI + SEC).


2. Image

Bootstrap: bootstrap_lite_image_en.md

Steps:

  1. Copy the entire content of bootstrap_lite_image_en.md → paste as first message.
  2. Wait for "PCL-Lite Image v1.0 Ready" or "Available: 12 personas | 6 teams".
  3. Paste and send:
/persona +VISUAL_DESIGNER +A11Y_VISUAL
/persona image aspect=16:9 style=minimal format=png
/persona task "Give me a single ready-to-use image prompt for a hero banner: fintech app, trust and clarity. Include one short alt text and one contrast note."

What to verify: You get one concrete image prompt (text you could paste into DALL·E, Midjourney, etc.) plus alt text and a contrast note. The answer should respect 16:9, minimal style, PNG.

Optional — team:

/persona clear
/persona team load brand-guardians
/persona image aspect=1:1
/persona task "One image prompt for an Instagram post: coffee brand launch, warm and premium. One sentence only."

You should get a single, on-brand style prompt.


3. Video

Bootstrap: bootstrap_lite_video_en.md

Steps:

  1. Copy the entire content of bootstrap_lite_video_en.md → paste as first message.
  2. Wait for "PCL-Lite Video v1.0 Ready" or "Available: 12 personas | 6 teams".
  3. Paste and send:
/persona +NARRATIVE_VIDEO +A11Y_VIDEO
/persona video duration=60s platform=youtube
/persona task "Outline a 60s product launch video in 3 acts. For each act: duration in seconds, key message, and one caption/subtitle moment to highlight."

What to verify: You get a structured outline with 3 acts, durations, key messages, and caption moments. The answer should feel like a video script outline, not a generic list.

Optional — team:

/persona clear
/persona team load social-video
/persona video aspect=9:16 duration=30s platform=tiktok
/persona task "Beat-by-beat script for a 30s TikTok: app demo with voiceover. 5 beats max, one line each."

You should get 5 short beats, vertical/short-form style.


4. Audio

Bootstrap: bootstrap_lite_audio_en.md

Steps:

  1. Copy the entire content of bootstrap_lite_audio_en.md → paste as first message.
  2. Wait for "PCL-Lite Audio v1.0 Ready" or "Available: 12 personas | 6 teams".
  3. Paste and send:
/persona +SCRIPT_AUDIO +A11Y_AUDIO
/persona audio duration=5m platform=podcast
/persona task "Write a short script for the first 90 seconds of a podcast episode: intro, host welcome, and one topic tease. Include a one-line note for where to add a transcript."

What to verify: You get a short script (intro + welcome + tease) that fits ~90 seconds when read aloud, plus a transcript note. The tone should be clear and podcast-style.

Optional — team:

/persona clear
/persona team load podcast-production
/persona audio duration=10m
/persona task "Outline a 10min podcast episode: intro 30s, 3 segments with approximate duration, outro 30s. One line per segment."

You should get a clear episode outline with timings.


5. Slides

Bootstrap: bootstrap_lite_slides_en.md

Steps:

  1. Copy the entire content of bootstrap_lite_slides_en.md → paste as first message.
  2. Wait for "PCL-Lite Slides v1.0 Ready" or "Available: 12 personas | 6 teams".
  3. Paste and send:
/persona +SLIDE_DESIGNER +PITCH_SLIDES
/persona slides aspect=16:9 style=minimal
/persona task "Outline a 5-slide pitch deck: title slide, problem, solution, ask, thank you. For each slide give only: slide number, title, and 2 bullet points max."

What to verify: You get 5 slides with title + 2 bullets each, in pitch-deck style. Structure should be clear and minimal.

Optional — team:

/persona clear
/persona team load pitch-team
/persona task "Same 5-slide pitch outline, but add one speaker note per slide in brackets."

You should get the same structure plus short speaker notes.


Summary — what to verify per bootstrap

Bootstrap Quick check Example task You should get
Standard /persona list then /persona status ARCHI + SEC, task on API security Answer in architect + security tone, 3 bullets
Image /persona list then /persona status VISUAL_DESIGNER + A11Y, hero banner prompt One image prompt + alt text + contrast note
Video /persona list then /persona status NARRATIVE_VIDEO + A11Y, 60s outline 3 acts with duration, message, caption moment
Audio /persona list then /persona status SCRIPT_AUDIO + A11Y, 90s podcast intro Short script + transcript note
Slides /persona list then /persona status SLIDE_DESIGNER + PITCH, 5-slide deck 5 slides with title + 2 bullets each

If something doesn't work

  • No "Ready" message: Make sure you pasted the full bootstrap (from the first line to the last, including the YAML blocks). Try again in a new chat.
  • Commands ignored: Ensure you send the exact strings (e.g. /persona +ARCHI +SEC with no extra space or typo). Some chats need the command on its own line.
  • Generic answer: The model might not fully follow the persona. Try repeating the task in a short sentence (e.g. "Answer as an architect and a security expert") or activating the persona again with /persona +ARCHI +SEC and re-sending the task.
