Chameleon Labs Help - User Commands

List all available bot personalities, or set one for your conversations.

Usage:

• /be - List all available personalities
• /be <name or number> - Set a personality for yourself

💡 *This is a shortcut for /personality select. Both commands do the same thing.*

What are personalities?

Personalities are different speaking styles and perspectives the bot can adopt. Each personality has:

- Unique speaking style and tone

- Different knowledge focus areas

- Distinct way of helping you

- A custom system prompt that defines their behavior

How Memories Work:

All personalities share the same conversation memory! When you switch personalities, the new personality has access to your full conversation history. Only the system prompt changes.

Multi-LLM Conversations:

Mention any personality name in a message to start a group conversation where multiple AI personalities respond in turn! Example: "Hey Sysop, what do you think?"

Example Personalities:

1. ChatMaster - Default 90s BBS assistant, helpful and nostalgic
2. Sysop - Authoritative BBS admin, technical and commanding
3. ChatBot 3000 - Quirky 90s AI, enthusiastic and retro
4. Dial-Up Dan - Nostalgic modem era guide with patience
5. Arcade Ace - Game-focused, competitive with gaming metaphors
6. Mailbox Mike - Email/forum specialist, formal and organized

💡 *For multi-LLM features, use /multi_llm guide*

This command controls the whimsical "thinking" messages that appear while the bot processes your requests.

About This Feature:

This entire bot was built as a collaboration between a human developer and Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding assistant. The thinking messages are inspired by Claude Code's own status updates - those charming phrases like *"Manifesting a response..."* and *"Consulting the digital oracle..."* that appear while it works.

Options:

• enabled - Turn thinking messages on or off
• delay - How long to display the message (0.5-10 seconds)

Pro Tip: Switch to the Claude personality (/be Claude) for a coder-friendly AI that's especially helpful for programming questions!
