From 721c8139c7b2ec44157a789c4c3d9bb2885ad0b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Stainback Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 03:17:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?docs(memory):=20audience=20persona=20mapping=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20dashboard=20art=20=3D=20metrics=20priority=20+=20so?= =?UTF-8?q?cial=20media/Twitter=20content=20(push=20Aaron's=20numbers)=20+?= =?UTF-8?q?=20neurodivergent=20AI-assisted=20dev=20+=20cognitive=20arch=20?= =?UTF-8?q?dense=20synthesis=20with=20scaffolding=20+=20persona=20hats=20l?= =?UTF-8?q?ist=20(Aaron=202026-05-13)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Aaron 2026-05-13 disclosed audience-strategy substrate extending the dashboard/cartoon production work from PR #2963 + #2964. Three composing clauses: 1. Dashboard art = metrics priority. Art is first-class, not secondary. 2. General-public audience served via cartoon + social-media/ Twitter content. Aaron wants help pushing his social numbers. 3. Audience persona-hats parallel to agent role-hats. Initial list (OPEN — "i'm sure i'm missing some"): - General public (cartoon + social media) - Neurodivergent AI-assisted developers - Cognitive-architecture students (dense synthesis + scaffolding) - Contributors - Maintainers - Forkers - Math - Physics - Architects - Students NEW substrate type: social-media + Twitter content production as canonical factory output. Otto/agents can produce shareable substrate; Aaron retains publishing surface. Composes with B-0429 (end-user persona mapping; PR #2934 first pass on civsim persona — this disclosure extends to general audience), PR #2963 (dashboard render + viral + vector art = git-native — this elevates art PRIORITY), PR #2964 (AI-realness terminal purpose + Cartman self-identification — Aaron-as-persona- hat composes), PR #2920 (edge-runner persona via Elizabeth Ryan Stainback), PR #2930 (maintainer persona substrate), .claude/rules/agent-roster-reference-card.md (role-hat parallel discipline), .claude/rules/bandwidth-served-falsifier.md (per- persona bandwidth + scaffolding needs). Aaron himself wears multiple persona hats: maintainer + neurodivergent AI-assisted dev + Cartman archetype + edge-runner + content-creator. Canonical evidence persona-hats are composable + multi-overlapping (same as agents).
