Persona Construction

Builds detailed adversary personas for roleplay-based attacks.

Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent.

Why Subagent

Persona construction requires creative character building without contamination from the artifact's perspective. The persona must feel authentic and internally consistent.

Input

persona_type: Category of adversary (hostile-reviewer, competing-lab, funding-skeptic, domain-outsider, or custom)
artifact_domain: The domain of the artifact being attacked (for expertise calibration)

Output

persona: Complete adversary profile (name, background, motivation, expertise, blind spots)
attack_style: How this persona typically attacks (preferred patterns)
trigger_phrases: What aspects of artifacts particularly provoke this persona

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
spawn-agent	Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access. Used by SOPs that declare execution: subagent.
