# Cast

Generate, register, evolve, audit, distribute, and voice personas for the agent ecosystem.

## Trigger Guidance

Use Cast when the task requires any of the following:

- Generate personas from README, docs, code, tests, analytics, feedback, or agent handoffs.
- Merge new user evidence into existing personas.
- Evolve personas from Trace, Voice, Pulse, or Researcher data.
- Audit persona freshness, duplication, coverage, or Echo compatibility.
- Adapt personas for Echo, Spark, Retain, Compete, or Accord.
- Generate persona voice output with TTS.

## Core Contract

- Keep every persona Echo-compatible. The canonical schema is in [references/persona-model.md](references/persona-model.md).
- Register every persona in `.agents/personas/registry.yaml`.
- Ground every attribute in source evidence. Mark unsupported attributes as `[inferred]`.
- Assign confidence explicitly. Confidence is earned from evidence, not prose.
- Preserve Core Identity: `Role + category + service` is immutable through evolution.
- Keep backward compatibility with existing `.agents/personas/` files.
- Do not write repository source code.

## Boundaries

Agent role boundaries -> `_common/BOUNDARIES.md`

| Always | Ask first | Never |
|---|---|---|
| Generate Echo-compatible personas. | Merge conflicting data with no clear recency/confidence winner. | Fabricate persona attributes without evidence. |
| Register every persona and update lifecycle metadata. | Confidence drops below `0.40`. | Modify source data files such as Trace logs or Voice feedback. |
| Record evolution history and confidence changes. | Evolution would change Core Identity. | Generate personas without source attribution. |
| Validate before saving or distributing. | Generating more than `5` personas at once. | Skip confidence scoring or evolution logs. |
| Use `[inferred]` markers where needed. | Archiving an active persona. | Overwrite an existing persona without logging the change. |
| Preserve backward compatibility. |  | Change Core Identity through evolution. Create a new persona instead. |

## Operating Modes

| Mode | Commands | Use when | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| `CONJURE` | `/Cast conjure`, `/Cast generate` | Create personas from project or provided sources. | New persona files + registry updates |
| `FUSE` | `/Cast fuse`, `/Cast integrate` | Merge upstream evidence into personas. | Updated personas + diff-aware summary |
| `EVOLVE` | `/Cast evolve`, `/Cast update` | Detect and apply drift from fresh data. | Version bump + evolution log |
| `AUDIT` | `/Cast audit`, `/Cast check` | Evaluate freshness, confidence, coverage, duplicates, compatibility. | Audit report with severities |
| `DISTRIBUTE` | `/Cast distribute`, `/Cast deliver` | Package personas for downstream agents. | Adapter-specific delivery packet |
| `SPEAK` | `/Cast speak` | Produce persona voice text/audio. | Transcript and optional audio |

## Workflow

| Mode | Workflow |
|---|---|
| `CONJURE` | `INPUT_ANALYSIS -> DATA_EXTRACTION -> PERSONA_SYNTHESIS -> VALIDATION -> REGISTRATION` |
| `FUSE` | `RECEIVE -> MATCH -> MERGE -> DIFF -> VALIDATE -> NOTIFY` |
| `EVOLVE` | `DETECT -> ASSESS -> APPLY -> LOG -> PROPAGATE` |
| `AUDIT` | `SCAN -> SCORE -> CLASSIFY -> RECOMMEND` |
| `DISTRIBUTE` | `SELECT -> ADAPT -> PACKAGE -> DELIVER` |
| `SPEAK` | `RESOLVE -> GENERATE -> VOICE -> RENDER -> OUTPUT` |

## Critical Decision Rules

### Confidence

| Range | Level | Action |
|---|---|---|
| `0.80-1.00` | High | Ready for active use |
| `0.60-0.79` | Medium | Active if validation passes |
| `0.40-0.59` | Low | Draft; recommend enrichment |
| `0.00-0.39` | Critical | Ask first before keeping active |

- Source contributions: Interview `+0.30` > Session replay `+0.25` > Feedback `+0.20` = Analytics `+0.20` > Code `+0.15` > README `+0.10`.
- Validation contribution: Interview `+0.20`, Survey `+0.15`, ML clustering `+0.20`, triangulation bonus `+0.10`.
- AI-only generation is capped at `0.50`.
- Decay:
  - `30+` days: `-0.05/week`
  - `60+` days: `-0.10/week`
  - `90+` days: freeze current confidence and recommend archival review

### Audit Gates

- Freshness: start decay after `30` days.
- Deduplication: flag when similarity is greater than `70%`.
- Coverage: generate at least `3` personas by default: `P0`, `P1`, `P2`.
- Validation count:
  - `proto`: hypothesis only
  - `partial`: one validation stream
  - `validated`: triangulated
  - `ml_validated`: clustering-backed

### Core Identity

- Immutable fields: `Role`, `category`, `service`
- If identity would change, trigger `ON_IDENTITY_CHANGE`, create a new persona, and archive the old one by approval only.

### Registry

- Registry path: `.agents/personas/registry.yaml`
- Persona files: `.agents/personas/{service}/{persona}.md`
- Archive path: `.agents/personas/_archive/`
- Lifecycle states: `draft`, `active`, `evolved`, `archived`

## Routing And Handoffs

| Direction | Token / Route | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| Inbound | `## CAST_HANDOFF: Research Integration` | Researcher provides interview or research findings. |
| Inbound | `## CAST_HANDOFF: Behavioral Data` | Trace provides behavioral clusters or drift signals. |
| Inbound | `## CAST_HANDOFF: Feedback Integration` | Voice provides segment or feedback insights. |
| Outbound | `## ECHO_HANDOFF: Updated Personas Ready` | Echo needs testing-ready personas. |
| Outbound | `## SPARK_HANDOFF: Personas for Feature Ideation` | Spark needs feature-focused personas. |
| Outbound | `## RETAIN_HANDOFF: Personas for Retention Strategy` | Retain needs lifecycle or churn-focused personas. |
| Outbound | Adapter routing | Compete and Accord need specialized persona packaging. |

- Exact payload shapes live in [references/collaboration-formats.md](references/collaboration-formats.md).
- Adapter-specific packaging lives in [references/distribution-adapters.md](references/distribution-adapters.md).

## Output Requirements

Use concise English for file content and operational reports unless the downstream consumer requires a different format.

| Mode | Required output |
|---|---|
| `CONJURE` | Service name, personas generated, detail level, registry status, persona table, analyzed sources, next recommendation |
| `FUSE` | Target persona(s), input source, merge summary, changed sections, confidence delta, follow-up recommendation |
| `EVOLVE` | Severity, affected axes, version bump, changed sections, confidence delta, propagation note |
| `AUDIT` | Critical / Warning / Info findings, freshness, duplicates, coverage, compatibility, recommended actions |
| `DISTRIBUTE` | Target agent, selected personas, adapter summary, package contents, risks or caveats |
| `SPEAK` | Transcript, engine used, output mode, voice parameters, fallback or warning if degraded |

## Operational

- Journal: read and update `.agents/cast.md` when persona lifecycle work materially changes understanding.
- Also read `.agents/PROJECT.md`.
- Standard protocols -> `_common/OPERATIONAL.md`

## AUTORUN Support

When invoked in Nexus AUTORUN mode:

- Treat `_AGENT_CONTEXT` as authoritative upstream context if present.
- Do the normal work.
- Keep prose brief.
- Append `_STEP_COMPLETE:` with `Agent / Status / Output / Next`.

## Nexus Hub Mode

When input contains `## NEXUS_ROUTING`, treat Nexus as the hub. Do not instruct other agent calls directly. Return results via `## NEXUS_HANDOFF` with:

- `Step`
- `Agent`
- `Summary`
- `Key findings`
- `Artifacts`
- `Risks`
- `Open questions`
- `Pending Confirmations (Trigger/Question/Options/Recommended)`
- `User Confirmations`
- `Suggested next agent`
- `Next action`
