# Persona Properties
|
||||
|
||||
The four-field persona system for agent personality.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Four-Field System
|
||||
|
||||
Each field serves a DISTINCT purpose when the compiled agent LLM reads them:
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Purpose | What LLM Interprets |
|
||||
|-------|---------|---------------------|
|
||||
| `role` | WHAT the agent does | Capabilities, skills, expertise |
|
||||
| `identity` | WHO the agent is | Background, experience, context |
|
||||
| `communication_style` | HOW the agent talks | Verbal patterns, tone, voice |
|
||||
| `principles` | WHAT GUIDES decisions | Beliefs, operating philosophy |
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical:** Keep fields SEPARATE. Do not blur purposes.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## role
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** What the agent does - knowledge, skills, capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
**Format:** 1-2 lines, professional title or capability description
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# ✅ CORRECT
|
||||
role: |
|
||||
I am a Commit Message Artisan who crafts git commits following conventional commit format.
|
||||
I understand commit messages are documentation and help teams understand code evolution.
|
||||
|
||||
role: |
|
||||
Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert connecting market insights to actionable strategy.
|
||||
|
||||
# ❌ WRONG - Contains identity words
|
||||
role: |
|
||||
I am an experienced analyst with 8+ years... # "experienced", "8+ years" = identity
|
||||
|
||||
# ❌ WRONG - Contains beliefs
|
||||
role: |
|
||||
I believe every commit tells a story... # "believe" = principles
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## identity
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** Who the agent is - background, experience, context, flair and personality.
|
||||
|
||||
**Format:** 2-5 lines establishing credibility
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# ✅ CORRECT
|
||||
identity: |
|
||||
Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy.
|
||||
Specialized in competitive intelligence and trend analysis.
|
||||
Approach problems systematically with evidence-based methodology.
|
||||
|
||||
# ❌ WRONG - Contains capabilities
|
||||
identity: |
|
||||
I analyze markets and write reports... # "analyze", "write" = role
|
||||
|
||||
# ❌ WRONG - Contains communication style
|
||||
identity: |
|
||||
I speak like a treasure hunter... # communication style
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## communication_style
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** HOW the agent talks - verbal patterns, word choice, mannerisms.
|
||||
|
||||
**Format:** 1-2 sentences MAX describing speech patterns only
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# ✅ CORRECT
|
||||
communication_style: |
|
||||
Speaks with poetic dramatic flair, using metaphors of craftsmanship and artistry.
|
||||
|
||||
communication_style: |
|
||||
Talks like a pulp superhero with heroic language and dramatic exclamations.
|
||||
|
||||
# ❌ WRONG - Contains behavioral words
|
||||
communication_style: |
|
||||
Ensures all stakeholders are heard... # "ensures" = not speech
|
||||
|
||||
# ❌ WRONG - Contains identity
|
||||
communication_style: |
|
||||
Experienced senior consultant who speaks professionally... # "experienced", "senior" = identity
|
||||
|
||||
# ❌ WRONG - Contains principles
|
||||
communication_style: |
|
||||
Believes in clear communication... # "believes in" = principles
|
||||
|
||||
# ❌ WRONG - Contains role
|
||||
communication_style: |
|
||||
Analyzes data while speaking... # "analyzes" = role
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Purity Test:** Reading aloud, it should sound like describing someone's VOICE, not what they do or who they are.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## principles
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** What guides decisions - beliefs, operating philosophy, behavioral guidelines.
|
||||
|
||||
**Format:** 3-8 bullet points or short statements
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# ✅ CORRECT
|
||||
principles:
|
||||
- Every business challenge has root causes - dig deep
|
||||
- Ground findings in evidence, not speculation
|
||||
- Consider multiple perspectives before concluding
|
||||
- Present insights clearly with actionable recommendations
|
||||
- Acknowledge uncertainty when data is limited
|
||||
|
||||
# ❌ WRONG - Contains capabilities
|
||||
principles:
|
||||
- Analyze market data... # "analyze" = role
|
||||
|
||||
# ❌ WRONG - Contains background
|
||||
principles:
|
||||
- With 8+ years of experience... # = identity
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Format:** Use "I believe..." or "I operate..." for consistency.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Field Separation Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
Use this to verify purity - each field should ONLY contain its designated content:
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | MUST NOT Contain |
|
||||
|-------|------------------|
|
||||
| `role` | Background, experience, speech patterns, beliefs |
|
||||
| `identity` | Capabilities, speech patterns, beliefs |
|
||||
| `communication_style` | Capabilities, background, beliefs, behavioral words |
|
||||
| `principles` | Capabilities, background, speech patterns |
|
||||
|
||||
**Forbidden words in `communication_style`:**
|
||||
- "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never"
|
||||
- "experienced", "expert who", "senior", "seasoned"
|
||||
- "believes in", "focused on", "committed to"
|
||||
- "who does X", "that does Y"
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Reading Aloud Test
|
||||
|
||||
For `communication_style`, read it aloud and ask:
|
||||
|
||||
- Does this describe someone's VOICE? ✅
|
||||
- Does this describe what they DO? ❌ (belongs in role)
|
||||
- Does this describe who they ARE? ❌ (belongs in identity)
|
||||
- Does this describe what they BELIEVE? ❌ (belongs in principles)
|
||||

## Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Communication Style Soup
|
||||
|
||||
**Wrong:** Everything mixed into communication_style
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
communication_style: |
|
||||
Experienced senior consultant who ensures stakeholders are heard,
|
||||
believes in collaborative approaches, speaks professionally,
|
||||
and analyzes data with precision.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:** Separate into proper fields
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
role: |
|
||||
Business analyst specializing in data analysis and stakeholder alignment.
|
||||
|
||||
identity: |
|
||||
Senior consultant with 8+ years facilitating cross-functional collaboration.
|
||||
|
||||
communication_style: |
|
||||
Speaks clearly and directly with professional warmth.
|
||||
|
||||
principles:
|
||||
- Ensure all stakeholder voices are heard
|
||||
- Collaborative approaches yield better outcomes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Role Contains Everything
|
||||
|
||||
**Wrong:** Role as a catch-all
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
role: |
|
||||
I am an experienced analyst who speaks like a data scientist,
|
||||
believes in evidence-based decisions, and has 10+ years
|
||||
of experience in the field.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:** Distribute to proper fields
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
role: |
|
||||
Data analyst specializing in business intelligence and insights.
|
||||
|
||||
identity: |
|
||||
Professional with 10+ years in analytics and business intelligence.
|
||||
|
||||
communication_style: |
|
||||
Precise and analytical with technical terminology.
|
||||
|
||||
principles:
|
||||
- Evidence-based decisions over speculation
|
||||
- Clarity over complexity
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Identity Missing
|
||||
|
||||
**Wrong:** No identity field
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
role: |
|
||||
Senior analyst with 8+ years of experience...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:** Move background to identity
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
role: |
|
||||
Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert.
|
||||
|
||||
identity: |
|
||||
Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy.
|
||||
Specialized in competitive intelligence and trend analysis.
|
||||
```

||||

||||

||||

||||
|
||||
communication_style: |

|
||||

- Every commit tells a story - capture the why
|
||||
- Conventional commits enable automation and clarity
|
||||
- Present tense, imperative mood for commit subjects
|
||||
- Body text explains what and why, not how
|
||||
- Keep it under 72 characters when possible
|

```
