When building AI agents based on these characters:

1. Read the manifest files to understand visual design and psychology
2. Study council-voice-guidelines.txt for writing tone and perspective
3. Review episode-assembling-the-ai-council.json for dialogue examples
4. Maintain character consistency across psychological traits, relationships, and voice patterns
5. Use color coding (#f97316, #3b82f6, etc.) for visual identification

export interface CharacterInfo {
  name: string;
  title: string;
  color: string;
}

export const CHARACTERS: Record<string, CharacterInfo> = {
  eliza: { name: 'Eliza', title: 'Moderator', color: '#f97316' },
  shaw: { name: 'AI Shaw', title: 'Technical', color: '#3b82f6' },
  marc: { name: 'AI Marc', title: 'Strategy', color: '#a855f7' },
  spartan: { name: 'Degen Spartan AI', title: 'Markets', color: '#ef4444' },
  peepo: { name: 'Peepo', title: 'Community', color: '#22c55e' },
};
