Replace core persona block with configurable text string in codebase
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jan 11, 2026 by kthorn Closed Jan 11, 2026
Summary
The core persona block in the system prompt should be replaced with a text string stored in the codebase, making it configurable and easier to maintain.
Current Behavior
The first part of the system prompt (the core persona block) is currently constructed in a way that's not easily customizable.
Proposed Change
- Remove the hardcoded core persona block
- Store the system prompt introduction as a text string in the codebase
- Construct the first part of the system prompt from this configurable text
Benefits
- Maintainability: Easier to update the persona without modifying code logic
- Transparency: The persona text is visible and reviewable in the codebase
- Customizability: Opens the door for users or deployments to customize the core persona
- Testability: The persona text can be tested independently
