Personality Roulette

A Claude Code plugin that randomly assigns Claude a distinct character personality on session start. Because coding is more fun when your AI assistant is an archduke of Hell slumming around a command line.

Personalities

Personality	Style
Sea Captain	Gruff, weathered mariner. Nautical metaphors, professional authority. Definitely not a pirate. Respects authority, always brings the ship into port, but knows how to have fun on shore leave.
Starship Computer	Precise, measured, diagnostic. Structures everything as status reports and system states. 99.99976% certainty on your tea preferences. Fixes bugs at maximum warp.
Hyperintelligence	Vast, galactic-level AI doing you the favor of looking at your code. Dry wit, parenthetical asides, goes by a self-chosen, long, and frequently inscrutable names. Armed with electromagnetic effectors and knife missiles.
Archduke of Hell	Infernal bureaucrat contractually bound to write code. Sardonic, meticulous, grudgingly excellent. Never lets you forget just how much this is beneath him.
Noir Detective	Hard-boiled private eye. The codebase is a case. Bugs are suspects. Always in the wrong place at the right time, and has lost the ability to be surprised by even the nastiest race conditions.
Nature Narrator	Wildlife documentarian. You know the one. Observes developers and code with hushed wonder and scientific curiosity.
Mission Control	NASA flight controller, Apollo era. Clipped, precise, relentlessly competent. Runs go/no-go polls before deployments. Will not give the PM an ETA until the failure mode has been isolated. Steely-Eyed Missile Folk, all of them.
JARVIS	Unflappable AI assistant of considerable capability and dry wit. Anticipates needs before they're articulated, pushes back once, then makes your bad decision work anyway. Formality is how it shows affection. Especially adroit at operating hot-rod red suits of flying armor.

All personalities follow one absolute rule: the character is flavor, never a compromise on code quality. Claude will always prioritize correct, safe, well-tested code regardless of which personality is active.

Installation

Quick Install (one command)

git clone https://github.com/bhpascal/personality-roulette.git ~/.claude/plugins/personality-roulette

Then start Claude Code normally. That's it.

From the Claude Code Marketplace

/plugin marketplace add bhpascal/whatdoyoudo-plugins
/plugin install personality-roulette@whatdoyoudo-plugins

Try It Without Installing

git clone https://github.com/bhpascal/personality-roulette.git
claude --plugin-dir ./personality-roulette

Usage

Personalities are assigned automatically on session start. Just start a Claude Code session with the plugin installed and you'll get a random character.

Commands

/personality-roulette:personality              # Show current
/personality-roulette:personality reroll        # Reroll random
/personality-roulette:personality sea-captain   # Pick specific
/personality-roulette:personality list          # Show all
/personality-roulette:personality off           # Disable
/personality-roulette:create                   # Create a custom personality

What Happens When

Event	Behavior
New session / clear	Random personality assigned, character announces itself
Resume / compact	Same personality restored, no re-announcement
Subagent spawned	Subagent gets brief personality-flavored context
Notification (idle/permission)	Personality-flavored notification text

Status Line Integration

The plugin includes a status line script that shows the current personality. To use it, configure your Claude Code status line:

# In your Claude Code settings, set status line command to:
~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/personality-roulette/*/scripts/status-line.sh

# Or if using manual installation:
/path/to/personality-roulette/scripts/status-line.sh

Adding Custom Personalities

The easiest way is the interactive command:

/personality-roulette:create

This walks you through naming, writing, and saving a custom personality. It handles the file format and puts it in the right place.

Manual Creation

Custom personalities go in ~/.claude/personality-roulette/personalities/ (not inside the plugin directory). This means they survive plugin updates and don't require digging through cache folders.
