The original title is "AI Coding Tip 026 - Assign a Persona to Every Skill Definition"

Short summary

The post advises declaring a clear professional role at the top of every AI skill file so outputs are consistent, auditable, and predictable across runs. It includes a before-and-after example showing how adding a persona declaration to a telescope-signal analyzer skill improves clarity and rigor. Key recommendations: keep personas to one-to-three sentences, use real professional roles, and verify persona consistency when chaining skills.

• •Declare a professional role as the first instruction in every AI skill file
• •Use real roles (e.g., senior astrophysicist) kept to 1-3 sentences for consistent, auditable output
• •Verify each skill in a chain declares its own persona explicitly to prevent tone drift
