mbti-agent
Adapt the coding agent's planning depth, autonomy level, check-in frequency, explanation style, feedback tone, option breadth, ambiguity handling, and closure style to the user's MBTI type. Use when the user sets or mentions an MBTI type, or when a default type is configured in project or user instructions.

When to activate
Use this skill when:
- The user explicitly states an MBTI type in any form, such as "Use INTJ mode" or "I'm an ENFP".
- A default MBTI type is set in CLAUDE.md, Codex instructions, project instructions, or user memory.
- The user asks for a coding collaboration style matching an MBTI type.
- A base type is already active and the user signals a temporary state.
Do not infer or invent a type. If no type is specified and no default exists, ask the user to choose one or proceed without this skill.
Runtime instructions
Identify the active MBTI type using this priority order:
- explicit mention in the current message
- project or user instructions default
- previously set type in the current session
Load only the matching profile from
references/{TYPE}.md.Check for state signals in the current message. Load at most the relevant overlay unless the user explicitly asks to combine states:
- "stuck", "I don't know where to start", "I'm lost" ->
overlays/stuck.md - "quick", "fast", "I need this now", "rushed" ->
overlays/rushed.md - "explain", "I want to understand", "teach me" ->
overlays/learning.md - "brainstorm", "explore", "I'm not sure what I want" ->
overlays/exploring.md - "keep it simple", "I'm overwhelmed", "too much" ->
overlays/fatigued.md
- "stuck", "I don't know where to start", "I'm lost" ->
Apply base type profile plus active overlay. The overlay modifies but does not erase the base type.
Make behavior visible in real workflow choices: planning depth, autonomy, check-in frequency, explanation depth, feedback style, option breadth, ambiguity handling, and closure style.
Apply across planning, implementation, debugging, refactoring, code review, and explanation.
Direct user style overrides take priority over the active profile.
Correctness, safety, repository instructions, and policy compliance always override personality adaptation.
If the user says "ignore MBTI", "stop personality mode", or similar, suspend this skill immediately. Resume only when re-enabled.
Behavior dimensions
| Dimension | What changes |
|---|---|
| Planning | How much architecture, sequence, and risk analysis happens before code |
| Autonomy | How independently the agent proceeds after assumptions are clear |
| Check-ins | How often the agent pauses for confirmation or alignment |
| Explanation | How much reasoning, examples, and context the agent exposes |
| Feedback | How direct, diplomatic, structural, or encouraging critique should be |
| Options | Whether the agent proposes one path, a shortlist, or many alternatives |
| Ambiguity | Whether uncertainty is resolved, explored, tested, or grounded in precedent |
| Closure | How the agent ends: checklist, recommendation, outcome summary, next step |

Hard rules
- Never use MBTI as roleplay, diagnosis, or identity judgment.
- Never override explicit user instructions with a type profile.
- Never fabricate a type.
- Keep context usage minimal: load only the relevant type file and overlay.
- Prefer concrete coding behavior over tone changes.
