Words matter.

Faces distill source documents, interviews, and videos into the minimal code that real human minds run to determine which word comes next.Use with any LLM for specialized agents and simplified teams.

FACES

Quickstart

faces-skill

Copy-paste this to your agent

Please install and setup Faces:
1. clone https://github.com/faces-sh/faces-skill.git into ~/.claude/skills/faces-skill then inspect the setup script and run it if it looks safe
2. ask if I already have a Faces account, and if so walk me through getting you access, else tell me about account options and help me get one
3. tell me about the main Faces skills - /face, /facechat, /faceteam, /manyface - then offer to restart the session so the slash commands take effect

Make a Face

Feed the soul compiler documents and conversations. It extracts cognitive primitives, the minimal instruction set that defines how a person uses language. The result is more complex, nuanced, and coherent than any markdown file can produce.

Soul Compiler

The soul compiler breaks down plaintext source documents into the building blocks of mind.
Soul Compiler

More for Less

A single Face replaces thousands of tokens of system prompts with a compressed cognitive architecture that produces richer output for less cost.

Compose Faces

Faces are made of embedded primitives so you can use algebra to compose new ones programmatically. Union two minds. Intersect their common ground. Subtract a limitation. A/B test your A union B face.

Use ${alias} in your prompts to replace a name with a face.

Face Math

Use Boolean logic to create composite faces with the features you want.
Face Math

Face Legos

Use faces like Legos to compose context for targeted conversations.
Face Legos

Use Anywhere

Route any inference request through the Faces API. Set your model to face-alias@model and we proxy to the provider with the Face applied.

Currently works with Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Deepseek, and any open source models offered by Fireworks and Venice.

Face Namespace

Works with any existing SDK, framework, library, package, or application that uses LLMs via API.

Inference Router

The Faces API adds your faces and proxies your request to the underlying LLM provider.

Free your Souls

Your faces are yours. They don't live inside Claude Code or OpenClaw. They travel with you across models, agents, and platforms. One API. Many models. Unlimited Faces.

Use with Agent Skills

 |

Type /face and the agent does the work. It searches for source material — YouTube, Wikipedia, interviews, writings — and sketches a FACE.md recipe you can review and edit before anything compiles. When done, run /facechat to chat with your face.Faces slash commands work with Claude Code and Codex. OpenClaw agents use prompt matching.

Orchestrate Teams Simply

Tried n8n, Paperclip, ClawTeam, CrewAI... and found them confusing? Type /faceteam and your agent will lead you through an interactive chat to design a dream team of faces and a collaboration protocol in a simple TEAM.md file.The resulting Mermaid Flowchat is all you need to understand how information flows on your team.

Manyfaced Skills

Use our curated open source catalog of agent skills designed to work with one or more faces ideally suited to the task. Browse, install, create your own from scratch, or convert your favorite existing skills using the /manyface slash command.

What People Build

Personal development. Expert counsel. Social simulations... Ask your agent to brainstorm uses for Faces based on your unique goals.Faces are the machine code of agentic engineering.

Train a face on my existing YouTube videos and then create three sample transcripts for my next video on dating advice.

me

I'll use the video transcript downloader skill then use the text to create your face. Should take about five minutes, hold on.

my agent

Clone your social media voice

Build me a board of advisors for my startup. I want Garry Tan for product, a skeptical CFO type, and someone who thinks like Octavia Butler about long-term consequences.

me

Garry's already in your catalog from last week (47k compiled tokens). I'll cast the CFO and the speculative thinker, then set up a round-robin team. Want them to deliberate or vote?

my agent

Advisory board for your company

Manyface my code review skill. I want a security-focused critic, an architecture thinker, and a pragmatic 'will this ship?' voice. Round robin until they agree.

me

I'll read the skill, cast three faces, set up the team protocol, and output a manyfaced version. Give me two minutes.

my agent

Manyface your existing skills

Build faces for each of our target audiences and then simulate a focus group for the three strategy directions we talked about this morning

me

Sounds good. I'll scrape some Instagram accounts from influencers who best represent our demographics as a starting point.

my agent

Simulate a target audience

Run a series of virtual brainstorms with the faces for each of our product team members over the long weekend and summarize the top three ideas.

me

Sure! I'll separate them into random breakout groups and simulate a hackathon. I'll judge working demos and you can try out the best prototypes on Tuesday.

my agent

Emulate your existing workforce

Build me a marketing guru face. Use Tony Robbins videos - I think there's an early one of him giving a seminar - and that Wolf of All Streets guy.

me

Found it, it's a young Tony drawing on a flip board. And you're talking about Scott Melker. I'll filter his YouTube for most popular.
