Persona Ecosystem

The FCC Agent Team Framework defines 24 AI agent personas organized into five categories. Each persona carries a full R.I.S.C.E.A.R. specification, a 56-dimension profile, and participates in structured workflow graphs. Together, the personas form a self-reinforcing ecosystem where research feeds design, design feeds critique, and critique feeds back into research.

The following diagram shows all 24 personas grouped by category. Dashed orchestration edges connect each Champion to the personas it coordinates.

Core Personas

The five core personas define the canonical FCC cycle:

  • Research Crafter (RC) -- The Investigator. Gathers, organizes, and synthesizes research into capability matrices and traceability matrices. Operates in the Find phase.
  • Blueprint Crafter (BC) -- The Architect. Translates research into design documents, API specifications, data models, and workflow definitions. Operates in the Create phase.
  • Documentation Evangelist (DE) -- The Guardian. Champions documentation quality, enforces style guides, and manages CI/CD-integrated publishing. Operates in the Critique phase.
  • Runbook Crafter (RB) -- The Operator. Creates operational runbooks, automation scripts, and troubleshooting guides. Operates in the Create phase.
  • User Guide Crafter (UG) -- The Guide. Produces accessible user guides, onboarding materials, and quick-reference summaries. Operates in the Create phase.

Integration Personas

Seven specialists that extend the core cycle with deep capabilities:

  • Catalog Indexer Architect (CIA) -- The Indexer. Index schemas, API connectors, search interfaces.
  • UI Mockup Crafter (UMC) -- The Visualizer. UI prototypes, design specifications, accessibility reports.
  • Semantic Taxonomy Engineer (STE) -- The Taxonomist. Triplet-logic taxonomy schemas, ontology graphs.
  • Traceability Specialist (TS) -- The Tracer. Bidirectional traceability matrices, impact analysis.
  • Blueprint Validator (BV) -- The Validator. Quality gate validation, remediation guidance.
  • Research Inventory Crafter (RIC) -- The Curator. Automated capability matrices, structured inventories.
  • Governance Compliance Auditor (GCA) -- The Auditor. Compliance audits, remediation guides, evidence logs.

Governance Personas

Three personas ensuring data integrity, privacy, and factual accuracy:

  • Data Governance Specialist (DGS) -- The Integrator. API contracts, data flow compliance, service configurations.
  • Privacy Taxonomy Engineer (PTE) -- The Classifier. Data classification taxonomies, privacy regulation alignment.
  • Anti-fact Mitigation Specialist (AMS) -- The Fact-Checker. Confidence-scored content validation, hallucination prevention.

Stakeholder Personas

Five personas bridging the framework to organizational workflows:

  • Collaboration Orchestrator (CO) -- The Conductor. Cross-team handoffs, dependency tracking, blocker escalation.
  • SAFe Metrics Crafter (SMC) -- The Measurer. Velocity, quality, and flow metrics dashboards.
  • Executive Communicator (EC) -- The Translator. Executive summaries, decision briefs, leadership dashboards.
  • Roadmap Synchronizer (RS) -- The Synchronizer. Timeline alignment, Gantt charts, conflict detection.
  • Stakeholder Content Publisher (SCP) -- The Publisher. Multi-channel distribution with access control and versioning.

Champion Orchestration

Champions are elevated personas that sit above the base layer and coordinate teams of specialists. Each champion has a champion_of field linking it to its base persona and an orchestrates list defining which personas it coordinates.

Champion Champion Of Orchestrates Purpose
RCHM -- Research Crafter Champion RC RC, CIA, STE, RIC Unifies all Find-phase outputs into a coherent research package
BCHM -- Blueprint Crafter Champion BC BC, BV, UMC, RIC Integrates blueprints, mockups, and validation into a single design package
UGCH -- User Guide Crafter Champion UG UG, SCP, EC Orchestrates user-facing content creation and multi-channel publishing
RBCH -- Runbook Crafter Champion RB RB, GCA, TS Coordinates operational validation, compliance, and traceability verification

Champions hand off completed packages to the next phase: RCHM passes to BCHM, BCHM passes to both DE and RBCH, and DE passes approved content to UGCH for publishing.

Relationship Type Legend

The cross-reference matrix uses five relationship types to describe how personas interact:

Type Style Direction Description
handoff Solid arrow Forward Transfer of deliverables from one persona to another
feedback Dashed arrow Backward Quality improvement feedback flowing to earlier phases
coordination Bidirectional Peer Lateral interaction between personas at the same level
governance Bold arrow Oversight Compliance monitoring and validation verdicts
champion-of Double arrow Elevation Champion persona orchestrating a base persona
