Persona Agent

An AI agent assigned a specific buyer or expert persona that evaluates content from that perspective during multi-agent review.

Persona agents are specialized instances of Claude loaded with a specific viewpoint: the skeptical VP of Sales, the technical evaluator, the budget-conscious CFO, the implementation-worried ops manager. Each agent has a persona file defining their priorities, objections, and evaluation criteria. In the STEEPWORKS content pipeline, 7 persona agents independently score articles before a moderated debate round. The key design constraint: persona agents must run via TeamCreate with persistent identity, not Task tool calls, because personas lose their memory between Task invocations. This was re-discovered twice before being codified.
