SlackHive ships with 26 research-backed personas - ready-made identities for common roles (Data Analyst, Backend Engineer, Product Manager, Security Engineer, Technical Writer, and many more). You pick one in Step 2 of the new-agent wizard and the agent starts with a persona, a base CLAUDE.md, and a default skill set.Documentation Index

Pick a persona
- Open New Agent from the sidebar
- Fill in name + description (Step 1)
- On Step 2, browse the persona list
- Click the persona that fits - the preview updates on the right
- Continue to Step 3
What gets seeded
Each persona seeds:- A CLAUDE.md base - role, tone, guardrails
- A starter skill set - domain conventions the agent always carries
- Recommended MCPs - suggested tools (you confirm in Step 4)
When to pick “Blank”
If none of the 26 fit your use case, pick Blank. You get an empty CLAUDE.md and no seeded skills - Coach can walk you through building one from scratch.Customize after creation
The persona is a starting point, not a lock-in. After the agent is created:- Edit the system prompt in Instructions → System Prompt
- Add or remove skills in Instructions → Skills
- Use Coach to tune the identity interactively
For boss agents, the system prompt is locked. Boss identity is generated from the team registry and cannot be hand-edited. See Boss Agents.
