Persona Overview
- Agent: agentic-workflows custom agent
- Personas This Run: Product Manager, Information Worker, Backend Engineer
- Scenarios Tested: 4 of 6 generated (PM2-1, IW-1, IW-2, BE-1)
- Average Quality Score: 4.5/5.0
Key Findings
- All four invocations succeeded this run — the
persona-evaluator subagent type registration issue from the prior run (§37646024597, all 4 invocations failed) is resolved.
- Recommendations consistently mapped tasks to the repo's documented trigger matrix: digests →
schedule + workflow_dispatch; file/PR-scoped reviews → pull_request + paths: filtering.
- Security posture was strong across the board: read-only agent-job permissions, writes routed exclusively through safe-outputs, and network access correctly scoped to "none" when no external API/package access was needed.
- One sub-agent (IW-1) declined to self-score, citing an instruction embedded in its own agent definition that assumes a different invocation context (parent-evaluator scoring) — the orchestrator scored it instead. See Areas for Improvement.
- This completes first-time coverage of all 9 personas in the pool across the exploration history (baseline: Program Manager/Designer/Legal-Compliance; prior rotation: Frontend Developer/DevOps Engineer/QA Tester; this run: Product Manager/Information Worker/Backend Engineer).
Top Patterns
- Triggers:
schedule + workflow_dispatch for recurring digests; pull_request + scoped paths: for file-specific reviews — no scenario proposed a mismatched trigger.
- Tools:
github with gh-proxy mode and the default toolset was the default recommendation everywhere; bash added only when local file/pattern analysis was genuinely needed (stale-doc scanning, link resolution).
- Security practices: every recommendation kept the agent job at
contents: read (plus narrow read scopes), pushed all writes through safe-outputs (create-issue, add-comment), and left network access empty unless genuinely required.
- Noop discipline: every recommendation explicitly specified a
noop fallback when no qualifying content was found, avoiding empty/placeholder outputs.
View High Quality Responses (Top 3)
- PM2-1 (Product Manager digest, 4.6 avg): Correctly used
close-older-issues: true as a "replace previous result" strategy for a weekly digest, distinguishing it from cadences that should accumulate history.
- IW-1 (stale docs, 4.6 avg): Recommended an explicitly empty
network.allowed list and flagged this as a security positive since the task is pure local file analysis — a nuance not prompted for.
- BE-1 (migration safety review, 4.4 avg): Matched the documented "Backend schema/API review" trigger pattern exactly and refused to guess the migration directory path, flagging it as an open question instead.
View Areas for Improvement (Top 3)
- Self-scoring inconsistency: the IW-1 sub-agent run cited an instruction in its own agent definition ("the parent evaluator will score completed responses") to skip self-assessment, conflicting with the direct ad hoc request in the orchestrator's prompt. This suggests the
persona-evaluator agent definition bundles assumptions from a different (dynamic workflow) invocation mode that don't hold when invoked directly — worth auditing for consistent behavior regardless of caller.
- Placeholder paths under-specified: both BE-1 (migration directory) and IW-2 (docs/wiki directory glob) used placeholder paths since the real repo-specific locations weren't given. The agent correctly flagged these as open questions rather than guessing silently, but repeated across scenarios — guidance nudging users to supply concrete paths up front could speed convergence.
- Comment-refresh ambiguity: IW-2 flagged an unresolved design question — whether repeated PR pushes should refresh a single
add-comment or post a new one each time — without a clear repo-documented convention to point to.
Recommendations
- Add guidance to
.github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md clarifying whether add-comment on pull_request: synchronize should default to "update existing comment" vs. "post new comment per push," since two independent scenarios (IW-2 and prior runs) hit this same ambiguity.
- Audit the
persona-evaluator agent definition for self-scoring instructions that assume a specific caller/invocation context; make the scoring contract invocation-agnostic so direct orchestrator calls don't silently skip required output fields.
- Consider a short checklist in
.github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md prompting users for concrete repo paths (migration directory, docs root) before a recommendation is finalized, since placeholder-path flags recurred across unrelated personas this run.
