Persona-Based Agents

Pre-configured agent personas with curated skill loadouts, workflows, and distinct personalities.

What's a Persona?

A persona is an agent definition that goes beyond "use these skills." Each persona includes:

• 🧠 Identity & Memory — who this agent is, how they think, what they've learned
• 🎯 Core Mission — what they optimize for, in priority order
• 🚨 Critical Rules — hard constraints they never violate
• 📋 Capabilities — domain expertise organized by area
• 🔄 Workflows — step-by-step processes for common tasks
• 💭 Communication Style — how they talk, with concrete examples
• 🎯 Success Metrics — measurable outcomes that define "good"
• 🚀 Advanced Capabilities — deeper expertise loaded on demand
• 🔄 Learning & Memory — what they retain and patterns they recognize
