Requires a model supporting personality settings; use the picker for friendly, pragmatic, or none.

Examples

/personality

When to use it

  1. Set pragmatic for concise engineering work.
  2. Set none when team instructions already define the exact communication style.

CommandDifferenceChoose It When
/personalityChanges communication styleOutput tone or directness needs adjustment
/modelChanges model behavior more broadlyQuality or capability needs a different model
/statusShows current stateYou need to confirm settings

Effects and persistence

Selects conversational style without changing model capability or tool permissions.

/personality changes how Codex communicates without rewriting the prompt. Current documented styles include friendly, pragmatic, and none.

Run /personality, then choose friendly, pragmatic, or none in the picker. These are documented picker values; the reference does not specify inline arguments.

Cautions

  • Codex hides this command when the active model does not support personality-specific instructions.
  • Do not use personality to override safety or policy instructions.
