A Curated Map of 71 Persona-Distillation Skills for Your Agent
awesome-persona-distill-skills catalogs 71 Agent Skills that distill people — your boss, a mentor, Feynman, your own digital traces — into reusable personas.
The list's name keeps the Chinese term: 人格蒸馏 — persona distillation. This 4,685-star curated list (the README is Chinese, with an English translation alongside) defines it precisely: extracting expression style, decision frameworks, and interaction patterns from conversations, works, materials, or digital traces — explicitly not, by default, a full reconstruction of a real individual.
Why This Skill Matters
Persona skills turn "answer like an expert" into something reproducible: a specific judgment style with named heuristics instead of a vibe. This list is the map of that niche. It holds 71 entries across five sections — self-distillation and meta-tools (15), workplace and academic relationships (7), intimate relationships and family memory (7), public figures and methodology perspectives (36), and spiritual and specialized themes (6). Entries are sorted by repository name, and the README says so twice: list order implies no recommendation, quality, or importance ranking.
Installation
There is no unified installer — and the README documents none. Every entry links to its own repository with its own README and install path. The practical loop:
- Scan the five sections for a scenario you actually have.
- Open the entry's repo and follow that repo's README.
- Want to browse before installing anything local? The README suggests Bloome, a hosted chat where you can add list entries as agents directly.
Real Workflow: Build a Personal Board of Advisors
- Start with methodology entries that transfer cleanly: distillations of Feynman's explanatory style, Charlie Munger's cross-disciplinary mental models, Paul Graham's frameworks for startups, writing, and independent thinking, and Rob Pike's technical judgment all appear as separate skills in the list.
- Add the workplace layer.
boss-skillsdistills a manager's judgment criteria, review style, and communication expectations from work materials; thehr-skillentry reads rejection letters and hiring-process artifacts to reverse-engineer screening logic for your own narrative. - Try the meta-tool when the collection grows: the
curator-skillentry is a dispatcher that matches your request against 30 persona skills and recommends one. - Keep an honesty check in the loop: the
Skill Fidelity Benchentry measures whether a persona skill still holds its original reasoning and boundaries after modification or poisoning.

Tips
- The self-distillation section is the unexpected gem: entries that build a structured self-portrait from your own chat logs, notes, and digital traces — useful for handover docs, writing in your voice, or an agent that answers like you.
- Family-memory entries (
MamaSkillfrom a relative's chat logs, letters, and voice;Reunion Skillfrom the digital remains of a deceased relative or friend) are described as memorial companion assistants — treat them with the corresponding care. - New entries go through an issue form plus an
approvedlabel; a workflow then opens the PR automatically, so the list stays curated rather than crowd-stuffed.
When Not to Use This
This is a directory, not a product — quality lives in each linked repo, and you will read several READMEs. And the list's own definition is the boundary: distillation captures expression and frameworks, not identity. Do not use these skills to impersonate a real person to third parties, and be honest with yourself about what a memorial assistant is and is not.
