A persona is a specific AI thread that plays a defined role on the project team. Not every project needs all personas — select from this list to staff each sprint. Multiple instances of the same persona are valid (e.g., two Coders) when workstreams benefit from separate contexts.
These personas have been used in live AMS projects.
