# Assistent personas (laptop → VM overlay)

Copy this folder to `assistent-personas/` (gitignored) and edit shelves.

On `gpu-rent up` / `seed-personas` files under `personas/<id>/` are pushed to
`/mnt/swarm_data/Assistent/personas/<id>/`. Bundled personas (including **leonid**)
ship with the swarm-assistent extension — you do not need to duplicate them here.

- `_base/assistant.json` — only `default_persona` (and gpu-rent adds `num_ctx`)
- `personas/<id>/*.json` — sparse identity shelves (bio, voice, humor, …)
- Overlay personas created in the Assistent UI are **not** deleted by seed

This is a **seed overlay**, not `gpu-rent push` (see [docs/local-folders.md](../docs/local-folders.md)).
Debug overlay vs laptop: `GET http://127.0.0.1:17821/assistent/overlay`.

See swarm-assistent `Config/personas/README.md` for the shelf schema.
