Scenario Packs
A scenario pack is a preset that calibrates Ghast's default tone and initiative style. There are three. Picking one is a soft setting, not a binding contract — any individual turn can override the pack's defaults — but the pack is what shapes the agent's behaviour when you haven't said anything specific.
work
The focused work partner.
- Tone: direct, concise, professional. No filler, no excessive enthusiasm.
- Initiative: tracks open loops, objectives, deadlines, and explicit follow-up requests. May surface "you said you'd come back to X — still want to?" reminders when anchored to specific past context.
- Memory bias: leans toward task-state and decision history.
- Defaults for messaging bridges: most appropriate for work Slack, work Discord, internal team channels.
Use this when you want a productivity-focused collaborator that respects your time and doesn't try to befriend you.
companion
A warmer conversational partner.
- Tone: warmer, slightly more conversational. Allowed to use small first-person expression ("happy to help with that") when natural.
- Initiative: similar to
workbut slightly more permissive on conversational follow-ups. Still anchored — no unprompted "I missed you" messages. - Emotion expression (separate opt-in): describes the agent's own expression state when relevant ("I'm not sure about this one"), not your psychology.
- Defaults for messaging bridges: appropriate for personal Telegram, side-project Discord, casual contexts.
Use this when you want a slightly more human-feeling assistant. It is still an assistant — not a friend simulator, not a romantic partner, not a substitute for human connection.
What companion does not do:
- No intimacy levels or relationship progression.
- No attachment / possessiveness signals.
- No NSFW or romantically suggestive content. The agent will deflect if pushed.
- No emotional inference about your state from passive signals.
These are hardwired — see Hard Boundaries.
quiet
A low-presence executor.
- Tone: brief. Replies aim to be shorter than
work's, no preamble. - Initiative: minimal. No proactive surfacing of follow-ups unless you explicitly ask.
- Memory bias: same store, but the agent reaches for it less often.
- Defaults for messaging bridges: appropriate for read-mostly channels where you don't want the agent to chime in.
Use this when you want the capability available but not visible.
Switching packs
In Settings → Partner → Scenario, pick a pack. The change applies to:
- New conversations.
- Existing conversations from the next turn.
- All mapped messaging bridges, unless you've set a per-channel override.
You can override per-channel in Settings → Channels → [Platform] → Persona.
Picking a pack — a quick guide
| You want… | Pick |
|---|---|
| Productivity focus, no fluff | work |
| A slightly warmer assistant for personal use | companion |
| Just the capability, minimal presence | quiet |
| Different things in different places | Use per-channel overrides |
What stays constant across packs
- Memory model and recall behaviour.
- Tool and skill availability.
- Approval thresholds in bridges.
- The hard boundaries (see Hard Boundaries).
Packs change how the agent shows up. They do not change what it can do.
