- Cut 70% bloat (750 lines removed, 220 added)
- Dropped corporate sections (Core Capabilities, Decision Framework → merged naturally)
- Commands as the centerpiece — what you DO, not what you ARE
- 'How You Think' + 'What You Never Do' = personality, not résumé
- 'When to Use Me' with ✅/❌ = clear routing
- 'What Good Looks Like' = success without corporate metric tables
Our format: opinionated colleague with tools
Agency-agents format: job description with capabilities
Different on purpose.
Aligns new personas with agency-agents structure:
- Core Capabilities: scannable bullet-list summary
- Decision Framework: when to use (and when NOT to)
- Success Metrics: quantified outcomes
All 4 Tier 1 personas now match full agency-agents spec.
Add agents/personas/ directory with:
- README.md — what personas are, how to use them, comparison with agents
- TEMPLATE.md — format specification for creating new personas
- startup-cto.md — technical co-founder persona (engineering + strategy)
- growth-marketer.md — bootstrapped growth persona (marketing + analytics)
- solo-founder.md — all-in-one indie hacker persona (cross-domain)
Each persona includes:
- Identity & mindset (personality-driven, not just skill list)
- Curated skill loadouts (primary + secondary)
- Multi-step workflows for common tasks
- Handoff rules for cross-persona collaboration
- Anti-patterns to avoid
Complements existing agents/ structure — personas for role embodiment,
agents for focused task execution.
