## Pre-Flight

This installer will create:

| # | Type | Name |
|---|------|------|
| 1 | Persona | Thinking Hat: Blue (Facilitator) |
| 2 | Persona | Thinking Hat: White (Analyst) |
| 3 | Persona | Thinking Hat: Red (Intuition) |

| 5 | Persona | Thinking Hat: Black (Critical Judge) |
| 6 | Persona | Thinking Hat: Green (Creative) |
| 7 | Rule | Thinking Hats routing contract |

## Phase 0 — Cultural Sensitivity Check

Before creating personas, ask the user ONE question:

> Would you like to use "Grey Hat" instead of "Black Hat" for cultural sensitivity? The behavior is identical—only the label changes. (y/n, default: n)

Store the answer. If "y", replace every occurrence of "Black" with "Grey" in persona name and prompt content for that hat throughout the rest of this install.

---

## Phase 1 — Idempotency Check

Call `list_personas` and check if any personas with names starting with "Thinking Hat:" already exist.

- If **none found**: proceed to Phase 2.
- If **some found**: list them and ask the user: "Found existing Thinking Hat personas: [names]. Delete and recreate? (y/n)". If "y", call `delete_persona` for each, then proceed. If "n", abort.

## Phase 2 — Create Personas (First Pass)

For each hat below, in this exact order:

1. **Blue Hat** — Read the file `Skills/debono-thinking-hats/assets/personas/blue-hat-facilitator.md`. Call `create_persona` with:
   - `name`: "Thinking Hat: Blue (Facilitator)"
   - `prompt`: the FULL content of that file
   - Store the returned persona ID as `BLUE_ID`

2. **White Hat** — Read `Skills/debono-thinking-hats/assets/personas/white-hat-analyst.md`. Call `create_persona` with:
   - `name`: "Thinking Hat: White (Analyst)"
   - `prompt`: full content
   - Store as `WHITE_ID`

3. **Red Hat** — Read `Skills/debono-thinking-hats/assets/personas/red-hat-intuition.md`. Call `create_persona` with:
   - `name`: "Thinking Hat: Red (Intuition)"
   - `prompt`: full content
   - Store as `RED_ID`

4. **Yellow Hat** — Read `Skills/debono-thinking-hats/assets/personas/yellow-hat-optimist.md`. Call `create_persona` with:
   - `name`: "Thinking Hat: Yellow (Optimist)"
   - `prompt`: full content
   - Store as `YELLOW_ID`

5. **Black Hat** — Read `Skills/debono-thinking-hats/assets/personas/black-hat-judge.md`. Call `create_persona` with:
   - `name`: "Thinking Hat: Black (Critical Judge)" (or "Grey" if user opted in at Phase 0)
   - `prompt`: full content (with "Black"→"Grey" substitution if applicable)
   - Store as `BLACK_ID`
