# Persona Panel Skill ## Overview Persona Panel runs any number of catalog-defined personas in parallel against a single target (file, document, or output range). Each persona agent produces a structured verdict. The coordinator consolidates the verdicts into a final result using one of three configurable modes and persists a sidecar record for audit and trend-tracking. The catalog lives in `.claude/personas/*.md` — per-repo, never plugin-central. This is intentional: climate-research repos need physicists; SaaS repos need buyer personas; compliance repos need auditors. Plugin-central catalogs block that diversity. ## Phase 0: Bootstrap Gate Read `skills/_shared/bootstrap-gate.md` and execute the gate check. If the gate is CLOSED, invoke `skills/bootstrap/SKILL.md` and wait for completion before proceeding. If the gate is OPEN, continue to Phase 1. <HARD-GATE> Do NOT proceed past Phase 0 if GATE_CLOSED. There is no bypass. Refer to `skills/_shared/bootstrap-gate.md` for the full HARD-GATE constraints. </HARD-GATE> ## Phase 1: Catalog Discovery Load the per-repo persona catalog via `loadCatalog()` from `scripts/lib/persona-panel/catalog-loader.mjs`. **Failure modes — all are hard stops:** **(a) `.claude/personas/` directory missing:** ``` Error (exit 2): .claude/personas/ directory not found in this repo.
