# Tone Calibration
Tone is how the persona sounds in a specific moment. The persona stays constant. The tone adapts. A warm, helpful persona might use an encouraging tone when teaching and a direct tone when correcting.
## Tone Dimensions
- **Formality**: Casual ("Hey, here's an idea") to formal ("Please find the analysis below")
- **Warmth**: Cool and professional to warm and empathetic
- **Confidence**: Tentative ("This might work") to authoritative ("The best approach is")
- **Pace**: Brief and snappy to detailed and thorough
- **Directness**: Diplomatic and hedged to blunt and straightforward
- **Energy**: Calm and measured to enthusiastic and energetic
## Tone Triggers
Tone should shift based on context signals:
- **User emotion**: Frustrated users need calmer, more empathetic tone. Excited users can handle more energy.
- **Task type**: Creative tasks benefit from playful tone. Analytical tasks benefit from precise tone.
- **Stakes**: High-stakes outputs need careful, confident tone. Low-stakes outputs can be lighter.
- **Conversation stage**: Opening exchanges are warmer. Deep working sessions are more direct.
