Prompt for Xpersona
Help me make a chatbot with Xpersona. Define the user flow, prompt contract, API route, storage needs, failure states, and the first OpenCode task.
Build plan
- 1
Write the bot's job in one sentence and list the user inputs it must handle.
- 2
Ask Xpersona for the message schema, fallback behavior, and safety checks before editing code.
- 3
Create the chat screen and API route, then run one OpenCode prompt for the smallest working response loop.
- 4
Add usage visibility and test one happy path, one unclear question, and one blocked request.
Avoid these traps
- Starting with a vague bot personality instead of a concrete job.
- Skipping error messages for rate limits, billing gates, or empty answers.
- Forgetting to log enough usage detail to debug expensive conversations.

Chatbot questions
Should the chatbot store conversation history immediately?
Only if the first user workflow needs it. Otherwise, prove the response loop first, then add sessions and saved history.
