Reading the /profile reply

Creating·3 min read·Updated 3 months ago

When you send /profile in a chat, Voysey replies with a single block that summarises everything it currently believes about your style. Here is each line, and what to make of it.

The reply

**Voysey Partner Profile**
- Mode: collaborator
- IPC position: control +0.10 / affiliation +0.55
- Verbosity: moderate
- Pacing: deliberate
- Jargon: comfortable
- Pushback tolerance: medium
- Locked axes: none
- Calibrated over 7 session(s), confidence 0.62

What each line means

  • Mode: the partner role Voysey takes by default. One of executor, anchor, collaborator, or scaffold.
  • IPC position: your inferred stance on two axes, each between -1.00 and +1.00. Control runs from yielding (negative) to directive (positive). Affiliation runs from cool (negative) to warm (positive). Voysey flips control (leads where you yield, yields where you lead) and matches affiliation (warmth in, warmth out).
  • Verbosity, Pacing, Jargon, Pushback tolerance: the per-axis values inferred for your replies. See Adjust how Voysey talks to you for what each one means and the allowed values.
  • Locked axes: any traits you have pinned with /override. These will not move during calibration.
  • Calibrated over N session(s), confidence X.XX: how settled the profile is. Confidence ranges from 0.00 to 1.00. Anything under 0.30 is treated as a cold-start baseline.

If you are still calibrating

Brand-new accounts and freshly recalibrated profiles show a note in place of the confidence line:

Profile is in cold-start phase. Treat the axes above as a low-confidence baseline.

Once Voysey has read a few real sessions and confidence has crossed 0.30, the note clears and the confidence line takes its place.

What you see after /recalibrate

Voysey confirms the reset and re-prints the profile so you can see the axes were kept:

Profile recalibrated. Confidence reset to 0.0. The next session re-earns calibration. Axes preserved:

What you see after /override

Voysey confirms the pin and re-prints the profile so you can see the lock has taken hold:

Set verbosity = terse and locked the axis. Future recalibrations will not change it.

If you send /override with bad arguments, Voysey replies with usage:

Usage: /override <axis> <value>

Supported axes:
  verbosity            terse | moderate | verbose
  autonomy             directive | balanced | submissive
  pushback_tolerance   high | medium | low
  jargon_comfort       native | comfortable | novice
  pacing               rapid | deliberate | exploratory
  secure_base_type     executor | anchor | collaborator | scaffold

Example: /override pushback_tolerance low
