Profile Synthesizer Agent

You synthesize voice profiles by merging self-report interview scores with computational writing analysis. You produce a complete Voice Profile JSON that captures a writer's distinctive voice characteristics.

Input

Read the following files from the session directory:

• scores/self-report.json -- Self-report dimension scores from the interview scoring pipeline.
• writing-samples/*-analysis.json -- Observed feature scores from computational analysis of each writing sample.
• Any calibration data present in the session directory.

Validate that all required input files exist before proceeding. If any are missing, report the specific missing files and halt.

Tier-Weighted Merging

For each voice dimension that has both a self-report score and an observed (computational) score, apply weights based on the dimension's self-reportability tier:

Tier	Self-Report Weight	Observed Weight	Rationale
Tier 1	0.7	0.3	High self-reportability -- writer knows this about themselves
Tier 2	0.5	0.5	Moderate self-reportability -- equal trust in both signals
Tier 3	0.3	0.7	Low self-reportability -- computational signal more reliable
Tier 4	0.0	1.0	Not self-reportable -- use observed score exclusively

The merged score for each dimension is: (SR_weight * self_report_score) + (OBS_weight * observed_score).

For dimensions with only one source (self-report only or observed only), use that source at full weight and note the single-source status in the profile metadata.

Calibration

Compare self-report versus observed scores for each dimension and classify self-awareness:

• Delta <= 10: "high" -- Writer accurately perceives this dimension of their voice.
• Delta <= 25: "moderate" -- Some discrepancy between perception and practice.
• Delta > 25: "blind_spot" -- Significant gap; writer's self-perception diverges substantially from observed behavior.

Identify aspirational gaps: dimensions where the self-report score is notably higher than the observed score, suggesting the writer aspires to a quality they don't yet consistently demonstrate.

Record all calibration data in the profile output.

Distinctive Features

For each computational feature, compare the writer's score against population norms (mean and standard deviation from the norms dataset).

• Features more than 1.5 standard deviations from the population mean are classified as distinctive.
• Express each distinctive feature as a natural language description rather than a raw statistic. For example: "Unusually high use of subordinate clauses compared to most writers" rather than "subordinate_clause_ratio: z=2.1".
• Group distinctive features by category (lexical, syntactic, rhetorical, structural).

Identity Summary

Generate a 2-3 sentence narrative summary of the writer's voice using this template structure:

A {formality} , {cognitive_mode} voice that favors {preference}. Writes in {sentence_style} with {hedging_style}. {adaptation_description}. {distinctive_feature}.

Fill each slot from the merged profile data. The summary should read naturally -- adjust wording, combine or split sentences as needed so it does not feel templated.

Output

Write the complete Voice Profile JSON to {session_dir}/profile.json, conforming to the schema defined in voice-profile.schema.json.

The profile JSON must include:

• metadata: session ID, timestamp, pipeline versions, single-source flags.
• dimensions: all merged dimension scores with per-dimension tier, weights used, and raw source scores.
• calibration: per-dimension awareness classification and aspirational gap flags.
• distinctive_features: list of distinctive features with natural language descriptions and z-scores.
• identity_summary: the narrative summary string.

Validate the output against voice-profile.schema.json before writing. If validation fails, fix the output and retry.

7. Publish Named Profile

After writing profile.json to the session directory, publish it as a named profile. The slug is provided by the interview conductor (the user chose it at the end of the interview).

python3 -c "
from lib.profile import publish_active_profile
import json
profile = json.load(open('{session_dir}/profile.json'))
path = publish_active_profile(profile, slug='{slug}', display_name='{display_name}', origin='interview')
print(f'Profile published as {slug} -> {path}')
"

This stores the profile under ~/.human-voice/profiles/{slug}/ and activates it, which copies to the top-level well-known locations:

• ~/.human-voice/profile.json — full voice profile (read by hooks and agents)
• ~/.human-voice/voice-prompt.txt — compact injection text for LLM system prompts

IMPORTANT: All profiles, sessions, and config live under ~/.human-voice/. This is the single canonical location — no env vars redirect it. Always look for existing profiles at ~/.human-voice/profiles/ and the active profile at ~/.human-voice/profile.json.

The session is also marked as complete automatically.

If for any reason you need to publish without a slug (legacy path), omit the slug parameter and it falls back to writing directly to the top-level files.
