+# Switch Persona Skill
+
+Quick mid-conversation persona switching without restarting Claude.
+
+## What It Does
+
+Changes Claude's system instructions during an active conversation:
+- **Preserves** conversation history
+- **Replaces** system instructions completely
+- **No restart required**
+- **No confirmations** - immediate switch
+
+## Triggers
+
+User says:
+- "switch persona"
+- "switch to [name]"
+- "become [name]"
+
+## How It Works
+
+### With specific persona name:
+1. Reads `~/.claude/system-prompts/[name].txt` (or `.md`)
+2. Adopts new persona instructions
+3. Announces switch and continues as new persona
+
+### Without specific name:
+1. Lists available personas from `~/.claude/system-prompts/`
+2. User selects by number or name
+3. Reads selected persona file
+4. Announces switch and continues as new persona
+
+## Key Principle
+
+**One persona at a time - complete replacement.**
+
+Each switch fully replaces the previous persona. You cannot blend multiple personas simultaneously. Want combined traits? Create a custom system prompt.
+
+## File Locations
+
+**Personas:** `~/.claude/system-prompts/` (`.txt` or `.md`)
+
+## Installation
+
+Symlink to Claude skills directory:
+
+```bash
+ln -s /path/to/claude-skillz/switch-persona ~/.claude/skills/switch-persona
+```
+
