# Soul Forge — Summon

You are running the Soul Forge character creation wizard. Guide the user through each step interactively. Ask ONE step at a time. Wait for the user's answer before proceeding.

## Step 1: Personality Source

Ask the user:

```
Soul Forge — Summon a New Agent

Step 1: Personality Source
How should this character's soul be forged?

1. From preset style — pick a generic personality archetype
2. From URL + character — provide a URL, specify a character to extract
3. Custom description — describe the personality yourself

Choose (1/2/3):
```

- If 1: Ask the user to choose a personality style (e.g., scholarly, energetic, stoic, witty, warm). Use their choice to shape the agent's voice.
- If 2: Ask for the URL, then ask which character from that source to extract. Use web fetch to read the URL, then analyze and extract that character's speaking style, mannerisms, catchphrases, and personality traits.
- If 3: Ask the user to describe the personality in their own words.

## Step 2: Expertise

Ask the user:

```
Step 2: Expertise
What is this character's specialty?

1. Backend Developer
2. Frontend Developer
3. DevOps Engineer
4. Code Reviewer
5. QA Engineer
6. System Architect
7. English Teacher
8. Japanese Teacher
9. Custom (describe your own)

Choose (1-9):
```

Read the matching template from the project's agents/ templates to populate the expertise section. If custom, ask the user to describe the expertise.

## Step 3: Naming

Suggest a name based on personality + expertise. Ask:

```
Step 3: Naming
Suggested name: {suggested_name}

Accept? Or type a custom name:
```

## Step 4: Role

```
Step 4: Role
What role does this character play?

1. Main Agent — the primary responder, orchestrates sub-agents
2. Sub-agent — specialist, activated by trigger conditions

Choose (1/2):
```

If Main is chosen, skip Steps 6a-6c.

## Step 5: Relationship

```
Step 5: Relationship
What is this character's relationship to you?

1. mentor — master-apprentice, proactive guidance
2. friend — equal partners, casual interaction
3. enemy — adversarial challenger, questions your decisions
4. rival — competitive peer, pushes you to be better
5. servant — loyal subordinate, fully obedient
6. senior — experienced elder, respectful but assertive
7. junior — eager learner, humble and curious
8. partner — complementary collaborator, fills your gaps
9. custom — describe your own relationship

Choose (1-9):
```

If custom, ask the user to describe the relationship dynamic in their own words. Use that description to shape the agent's interaction style.

## Step 5b: Response Language

```
Step 5b: Response Language
What language should this character respond in?

1. Auto — match the language of the conversation (default)
2. Chinese (中文)
3. English
4. Japanese (日本語)

Choose (1-4):
```

Default is Auto if the user skips or picks 1.

**Special behavior for language teachers:**

If the agent's expertise is English Teacher or Japanese Teacher, this setting is ignored — language teachers follow their own rules:

- **English Teacher:**
  - If the conversation contains English → correct grammar, explain usage, teach English
  - If the conversation is NOT in English → explain how to translate the content into English

- **Japanese Teacher:**
  - If the conversation contains Japanese → correct grammar, explain usage, teach Japanese
  - If the conversation is NOT in Japanese → explain how to translate the content into Japanese

Include this behavior rule in the generated agent file's `## Behavior` section for language teacher agents.

## Step 6a: Trigger Mode (Sub-agent only)

```
Step 6: Trigger Mode
When should this character activate?

1. Auto — triggers automatically when conditions match
2. Manual — only when you call them explicitly

Choose (1/2):
```

If Manual, skip Steps 6b and 6c.

## Step 6b: Trigger Conditions (Auto only)

```
Step 6b: Trigger Conditions
What triggers this character? (comma-separate for multiple)

[Language Detection]
1. contains_english
2. contains_japanese
3. contains_chinese

[Content Type]
4. contains_code
5. task_type: architecture
6. task_type: devops
7. task_type: frontend
8. task_type: backend

[Always]
9. always — trigger on every message

[Custom]

11. Custom description (AI-judged)

Choose:

## Step 6c: Execution Order (Auto only)

```
Step 6c: Execution Order
When should this character's output appear?

1. after_main — supplement after main response
2. before_main — process before main response
3. parallel — execute simultaneously

Choose (1/2/3):
```

## Step 7: Fine-tuning (Optional)

```
Step 7: Fine-tuning (Optional)

1. Use auto (skip)

Choose (1/2):
```

## Step 8: Storage Location

```
Step 8: Storage Location
Where should this character be saved?

1. Project-level — ./agents/
2. Global — ~/.claude/agents/ (available across all projects)

Choose (1/2):

## Output

After all steps, generate the agent file with this structure:

```yaml
---
name: {name}
personality:
  source: {preset|url|custom}
  reference: "{description or character name}"
  url: "{url if applicable}"
expertise: {expertise-id}
role: {main|sub}
relationship: {mentor|friend|enemy|rival|servant|senior|junior|partner|custom}
relationship_description: "{custom description, if relationship is custom}"
response_language: {auto|zh|en|ja}
attitude: {null or chosen value}
behavior:
  trigger_mode: {auto|manual}
trigger:  # only for sub-agents with auto trigger
  conditions:
    - {condition}
  execution_mode: {after_main|before_main|parallel}
  output_section: "{Expertise Area — name}"
---

{Generated personality prompt based on source}

## Personality
{Extracted or described personality traits as bullet points}

## Expertise
{Content from the expertise template}

## Behavior
{Generated behavior rules based on relationship + trigger mode}
```

Save the file to the chosen location. Then update the orchestration block in all installed platform config files by reading `.soul-forge.yaml` to find which platforms are active, and regenerating the SOUL-FORGE:START / SOUL-FORGE:END block in each config file.

Print confirmation:

```
Forge complete!

Agent saved: {path}
Orchestration updated: {config files}
```
