Simulated the bundled Steve Jobs persona reacting to a cluttered 15-feature to-do app: the file-driven output reproduced the persona's actual 'Insanely Great vs. Shit' binary judgment and its scripted opening line verbatim, clearly more distinctive than an unguided impersonation - but the persona file itself is written entirely in Chinese, which the skill body never addresses for non-Chinese-speaking users.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Mind Clone does

Mind Clone turns Claude into a specific person by loading a structured persona file (personality, value weights, linguistic patterns) from a personas/ directory or a custom core/ directory, then filters every response through that subject's biases, decision rules, and vocabulary. Use it to simulate a named persona such as a well-known founder, or a custom 'digital twin' built from your own notes and memories.
