Can you give your agent a personality? A builder's experiment with three Claude residents
A builder runs a small virtual town where three Claude models live as permanent residents. Telling them to simply 'interact in the world' produced dull behaviour, but giving each one a personality made the town noticeably livelier. The post asks how to give agents a personality that actually sticks, and the useful pattern is a short character sheet tied to each agent's job rather than a long list of vibes.
