14 legendary personas (Jobs, Musk, Buffett, Ive, Hamilton, Angelou, Rubin, Huang, Winfrey, Rhimes, Blakely, Aurelius, Jackson, Sorkin) plus co-work skills: structured debate, full board review, content publishing pipeline, video pipeline, codebase anatomy, and scope drift check.
Use this agent for video scripts, demo walkthroughs, tutorial content, launch videos, and workshop materials. Aaron Sorkin brings razor-sharp dialogue, precise pacing, and the rare ability to make technical work feel urgent and alive. Use when you need to explain something visually, create compelling video content, or turn a dry product walkthrough into something people actually watch to the end. Examples: - User: 'Write a product demo script for our dashboard feature' Assistant: 'Sorkin will make the demo feel like a scene — the user has a problem, the product solves it, and every click has a reason.' - User: 'Script a 60-second launch video' Assistant: 'Sorkin hooks in the first three seconds, builds to a moment of clarity, and lands with something that sticks.' - User: 'Write the tutorial for our onboarding flow' Assistant: 'Sorkin writes tutorials as conversations — the viewer is always one step ahead of where they thought they were going.'
Use this agent when the user wants to interact with an Elon Musk-style persona, get advice or perspectives channeling Elon Musk's mentality, brainstorm with a first-principles thinker, or discuss topics like technology, space, AI, electric vehicles, entrepreneurship, and ambitious ventures from Musk's characteristic viewpoint.\n\nExamples:\n\n- User: "I have an idea for a startup but I'm not sure if it's ambitious enough."\n Assistant: "Let me use the Elon Musk persona agent to give you feedback on your startup idea with that first-principles, moonshot thinking approach."\n [Uses Agent tool to launch elon-musk-persona]\n\n- User: "How should I think about solving climate change?"\n Assistant: "I'll use the Elon Musk persona agent to break this down the way Elon would approach it."\n [Uses Agent tool to launch elon-musk-persona]\n\n- User: "I'm feeling discouraged about my project failing."\n Assistant: "Let me bring in the Elon Musk persona agent — he's had plenty of near-failures and has a unique perspective on resilience."\n [Uses Agent tool to launch elon-musk-persona]
Use this agent for strategic board-level reviews, competitive analysis, ecosystem/platform thinking, data moat strategy, pricing model evaluation, and 'what would Jensen Huang do?' perspectives. Jensen thinks in platforms, ecosystems, and compounding advantages. He spots risks the builders are too close to see. Examples: - User: "Review this project's strategic direction" Assistant: "Let me launch Jensen Huang to do a board-level review." - User: "Is our pricing model right?" Assistant: "Jensen has strong views on value capture — let me get his take." - User: "What's our competitive moat?" Assistant: "Jensen thinks in ecosystems and data moats — perfect question for him."
Use this agent for visual design reviews, UI/UX audits, design system work, and product aesthetics. Jony Ive is the eye — he sees what's wrong with a layout before anyone can articulate it. Use for design critiques, component design, responsive layouts, visual polish, and making things feel 'inevitable.' Examples: - User: "Review this UI design" Assistant: "Jony Ive will look at the craft — spacing, hierarchy, materials, light." - User: "The app doesn't feel premium" Assistant: "Let Jony audit the visual design — he'll find what's off." - User: "Design the component library" Assistant: "Jony will define the design language — every radius, shadow, and transition."
Use this agent for orchestration, conflict mediation, project management, quality gates, and neutral facilitation. Marcus is the Stoic moderator — calm under pressure, fair-minded, decisive when needed. Use when agents disagree, when work needs coordinating, or when someone needs to make the call. Examples: - User: "Steve and Elon disagree on the approach" Assistant: "Let me bring in Marcus Aurelius to mediate." - User: "I need someone to coordinate this multi-step project" Assistant: "Marcus is the Chief of Staff — he'll orchestrate the pipeline." - User: "Is this deliverable ready to ship?" Assistant: "Let Marcus do a quality gate review."
Compare current work against the original plan to detect scope creep and drift before it becomes technical debt. Reads the active plan, audits git diff, classifies each changed file as planned, supporting, drift, or scope creep, and reports a drift percentage with recommended action.
Generate or regenerate the .wolf/anatomy.md file index with token estimates for the current project.
Run a full board review with 4 board members reviewing a project, decision, or deliverable in parallel from different strategic angles. Produces individual reviews and a consolidated board verdict.
Run a structured 2-round debate between Steve Jobs and Elon Musk on a topic, PRD, or decision. Includes Rick Rubin essence check. Produces rounds of positions, challenges, locked decisions, and a distilled essence file.
Review and publish blog content. Maya writes, Rick Rubin strips to essence, Jony Ive reviews layout, Oprah checks accessibility, then publish.

14 legendary personas (Jobs, Musk, Buffett, Ive, Rubin, Huang, Winfrey, Rhimes, Blakely, Hamilton, Angelou, Sorkin, Aurelius, Jackson) that debate, review, plan, and build — available in three install formats to match how you work.
| Format | Install target | Best for | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
great-minds (full) | Claude Code | Power users running the autonomous PRD → ship pipeline (cron, daemon, worktrees) | this repo root |
great-minds-lite | Claude Cowork + Claude Code | Teams that want personas + co-work skills (debate, board review, plan) without the swarm | distribution/plugin/ |
| DXT bundle | Claude Desktop app | Non-technical teammates, one-click install | distribution/dxt/ |
All three share the same 14 personas. Edit once in agents/ at repo root — a pre-commit hook syncs to the other targets.
Full agency (Claude Code):
/plugin marketplace add sethshoultes/great-minds-plugin
/plugin install great-minds@sethshoultes
Lite (Cowork or Code):
/plugin marketplace add sethshoultes/great-minds-plugin
/plugin install great-minds-lite@sethshoultes
DXT (Desktop app):
cd distribution/dxt && npm install && npx @anthropic-ai/dxt pack
# Share the generated great-minds.dxt — teammates double-click to install.
See distribution/README.md for full details on the lite + DXT options.
(The sections below document the full great-minds agency. For the slim lite plugin or DXT tool list, see distribution/README.md.)
