Persnally builds a model of the user from their own AI history, on their machine, and every
AI they use reads it. This skill gets it running here, non-interactively, and verifies it.
1. Check whether it is installed: run `command -v persnally && persnally --version`.
2. If it is not installed, run `npm i -g persnally`.
3. Run `persnally setup --yes`. This finds Claude/ChatGPT exports in `~/Downloads`, reads the
local Claude Code, Cursor and Codex sessions and git repos, synthesizes the model, and
connects the installed AI clients — including this one's MCP server, with its own identity
token, which is why the tools are not bundled in the plugin. It picks a local Ollama model
when one is available, so it runs fully offline; otherwise it asks for an Anthropic key —
stop and ask the user for it rather than guessing. Never paste a key into chat. `setup`
sees this plugin and does not add a second SessionStart hook.
4. Run `persnally doctor`. Report exactly what it prints. Exit code 1 means something is
broken; say what, do not claim success.
5. Tell the user, in two lines, what Persnally learned about them (`persnally show profile`,
first section only) and that this client now reads it at every session start via the
plugin hook. Remind them: `persnally forget <topic>` deletes a claim and everything derived
from it; `persnally export` takes everything with them.
If the user ran `persnally connect claude-code` on an older version before installing this
plugin, the SessionStart hook exists twice (user settings + plugin). Tell them to remove the
Persnally entry under `hooks.SessionStart` in `~/.claude/settings.json`; leave `~/.claude.json`
alone — that MCP entry, with its token, is the one the tools run through.
