Chapter 65: Identity & Persona Tuning
Shape how your model speaks. This chapter builds a persona-tuning skill to encode tone, role, and guardrails so outputs stay on-brand and safe.
Goals
- Differentiate system prompts vs. persona tuning
- Design datasets for tone/style without breaking task accuracy
- Run persona-focused fine-tuning/conditioning
- Validate safety and style adherence
- Capture patterns in a reusable persona skill
Lesson Progression
- Build the persona-tuning skill
- System prompts vs. tuned identity
- Data design for tone/style
- Persona tuning run and evaluation
- Capstone: brand-aligned Task API persona; finalize the skill
Outcome & Method
You finish with a persona-tuned model (or prompt stack) and a reusable persona skill for future products.
Prerequisites
- Chapters 63-64 (data + SFT foundations)
