When to Use

  • After first installing Operator Skills
  • When you want to update your personal info
  • After updating to a new version of the skills

How It Works

  1. Scan all skills for [YOUR_*] placeholders
  2. Ask you for each value (grouped by type)
  3. Update all occurrences across all skills
  4. Confirm what was changed

Invocation

/personalize-skills — Full interactive setup /personalize-skills --list — Just show what needs customizing /personalize-skills --reset — Clear customizations (restore placeholders)


Workflow

Step 1: Scan for Placeholders

Scan ~/.claude/skills/ for all [YOUR_*] patterns.

Group by placeholder type:

Found 12 placeholders across 6 skills:

Paths:
  [YOUR_CLOUD_PATH] — used in 2 skills
  [YOUR_KNOWLEDGE_ARCHIVE] — used in 1 skill

URLs:
  [YOUR_NOTION_URL] — used in 1 skill

Step 2: Collect Values

For each placeholder, ask the user:

[YOUR_NAME]
Used in: coach, writeup, inbox-commander
Description: Your name for personalized interactions
Example: Danny

What's your name? > ___

Group related questions:

  • All identity questions together
  • All path questions together

Step 3: Apply Changes

For each value provided:

  1. Find all occurrences of the placeholder
  2. Replace with the user's value
  3. Track what was changed
