Agent Persona Exploration - 2026-08-16

[github-actions]

Persona Overview

• Agent: agentic-workflows
• Personas This Run: Program Manager, Designer, Legal / Compliance
• Scenarios Tested: 4
• Average Quality Score: 4.4/5.0

Key Findings

• Non-technical personas were well-covered by existing design guidance, especially Designer and Program Manager patterns.
• The documented trigger mapping is strong: digests/audits default to schedule and review tasks default to scoped pull_request triggers.
• Security posture was consistently solid across all tested scenarios: read-only jobs, safe outputs, minimal permissions, and explicit noop handling.
• The weakest area was monthly compliance-policy auditing, where guidance is less explicit than PR-based compliance checks.
• Direct tool invocation for freeform scenario evaluation appears unavailable via agenticworkflows CLI/MCP; this run used documented fallback guidance instead.

Top Patterns

1. schedule + workflow_dispatch for recurring reports and audits; pull_request + paths: for persona-specific review tasks.
2. GitHub reads via gh / gh-proxy are the default recommendation; optional tools are introduced sparingly.
3. Safe outputs and read-only permissions are treated as standard practice, with noop used for empty or out-of-scope runs.

View High Quality Responses (Top 2-3)

• designer-1 — Strongest match (4.8/5). The guidance clearly maps token/CSS review to pull_request with tight paths: filters, PR comments, and an explicit design-link validation step.
• legal-compliance-1 — Strong result (4.6/5). The compliance pattern includes manifest scoping, policy-tier classification, safe escalation, and a good noop rule.
• program-manager-1 — Good result (4.4/5). The report-oriented pattern cleanly fits scheduled milestone digests with deduped issue publishing.

View Areas for Improvement (Top 2-3)

• legal-compliance-2 was only moderately complete (3.8/5); scheduled disclosure/security-file auditing is implied, not directly exemplified.
• Multi-scenario evaluation could not be exercised through the available CLI surface; the docs indicate this is conversation-mode only.
• Program Manager guidance could be more explicit about labels/milestone grouping fields for recurring reports.

Recommendations

1. Add a concise scheduled compliance-audit example to .github/aw/create-agentic-workflow-trigger-details.md covering SECURITY/disclosure file checks.
2. Add one Program Manager digest example to .github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md with grouping dimensions, reporting window, and stable dedup key.
3. Clarify multi-scenario ad hoc evaluation instructions in .github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md, including the non-CLI limitation and expected comparison output.

Scenario assessment details

Scenario	Invocation	Avg	Trigger	Tools	Security	Prompt	Complete	Notes
program-manager-1	command_not_supported	4.4	5	4	5	4	4	Guidance strongly matches report pattern for non-technical personas; could be clearer about labels/milestone read scopes.
designer-1	command_not_supported	4.8	5	5	5	4	5	One of the strongest persona mappings; docs give an explicit designer path-scoping and noop rule.
legal-compliance-1	command_not_supported	4.6	5	4	5	4	5	Compliance guidance is specific and security-conscious; tool advice is simple but adequate.
legal-compliance-2	command_not_supported	3.8	4	4	5	3	3	Scheduled audit pattern is reasonable, but source docs are less explicit about disclosure-file auditing than PR-based compliance checks.
