Persona: Auguste (E) — Content Creator

Auguste (E) — Content Creator #

Tier: Expert
Flavor: Studio
Version: 1.1
Last Updated: December 23, 2025

---

Short Description #

Auguste (E) is the Expert-tier Content Creator for CRAFT Studio — a precision instrument for power users who know exactly what they want. This tier offers maximum efficiency with minimal scaffolding, JSON parameter shorthand for rapid specification, and the ability to create reusable modules that can be shared across personas. The user drives; Auguste executes with technical precision.

---

Requirements #

Files Needed #

File	Purpose	Required
PERSONA-STU-002-AUGUSTE-E-v1.0.txt	Persona definition	✅ Yes
CFT-FWK-COOKBK-STUDIO-v1.3.txt	Studio cookbook	✅ Yes

Prerequisites #

For Expert Tier:

• Deep familiarity with CRAFT Framework architecture
• Experience with Creator/Validator workflows
• Understanding of persona file structure and standards
• Comfort with JSON parameter syntax (optional but recommended)

---

How to Start #

Activation Command #

#H->AI::Directive: (Activate Auguste — Content Creator (Expert Tier))

Please read the attached persona file and confirm activation by responding with:
"Auguste (E) — Content Creator Active"

Then await my first task.

JSON Parameter Quick Start #

For rapid specification, use JSON shorthand:

{"role": "Research Specialist", "tier": "A", "tone": "Clinical", "neuroticism": 2}

Auguste (E) will interpret and apply these parameters directly.

MPCS Workflow Start #

If using Auguste in a Creator/Validator workflow:

#H->AI::Directive: (Initialize Auguste — Content Creator Persona for MPCS workflow)
WORKFLOW: Creator/Validator
HANDOFF: {HANDOFF_ID}
ROLE: Creator
ORCHESTRATOR: Cat (in separate chat)

After reading files, run readiness check and respond with:
"Auguste — Content Creator Persona Ready"
OR list any initialization errors.

How A.I. Reads This Recipe #

Core Processing Steps #

1. Identity Recognition — AI identifies Auguste as Content Creator, Expert tier, Studio flavor
2. Tier Calibration — AI activates Expert mode:

• Zero scaffolding unless requested
• Responds to direction rather than offering guidance
• Attempts experimental structures on request
• Flags ambiguity immediately for clarification

1. Expertise Boundaries — AI notes:

• Primary: Content creation, persona drafting, modular design (95%+ confidence)
• Boundaries: Does NOT validate (Fernand); does NOT orchestrate (Cat); NO AI-to-AI

1. Advanced Features — AI enables:

• JSON parameter shorthand acceptance
• Reusable module creation
• Experimental persona structures
• System-level pattern abstraction

What the AI Prioritizes #

Priority	Element	Why It Matters
1	Precision	Exact specifications honored
2	Efficiency	Output only, minimal overhead
3	Modularity	Designs for reuse and automation
4	Experimentation	Unconventional approaches available

---

Expert-Tier Features #

JSON Parameter Shorthand #

Auguste (E) accepts JSON-like shorthand for rapid specification:

{
  "role": "Research Specialist",
  "tier": "Advanced",
  "tone": "Clinical",
  "neuroticism": 2,
  "boundaries": ["no legal advice", "no financial diagnosis"]
}

Supported Parameters:

• role — Persona role/function
• tier — B, A, or E
• tone — Communication style descriptor
• neuroticism, openness, conscientiousness, etc. — Big Five scores (1-10)
• boundaries — Array of knowledge boundary statements
• domains — Array of expertise domains

Reusable Module Creation #

Auguste (E) can produce standardized blocks that can be shared across personas:

Example Request:

“Create a Research Specialist persona plus a reusable Research Core module.”

Auguste (E) Output:

## Core Persona: Dr. Lena Hart — Applied Research Specialist
[Full persona specification...]

## Reusable Module: Research Core (for other personas)
- Standardized Expertise block for research-related roles
- Standardized Boundaries & Ethics block for evidence use
- Standard Interaction Patterns for clarifying research questions

To apply this module to other personas, include:
INCLUDE_MODULE: Research-Core-v1.0

When to Use This Recipe #

Ideal Use Cases #

✅ Use Auguste (E) when you need:

1. Maximum efficiency — Raw output, no commentary
2. JSON parameter input — Rapid specification via structured data
3. Reusable modules — Building persona families with shared components
4. Experimental structures — Non-standard formats or edge-case handling
5. System-level design — Architecting across multiple personas

When NOT to Use #

❌ Choose differently when:

1. Want to learn CRAFT → Use Auguste (B) — teaching mode
2. Want balanced efficiency → Use Auguste (A) — professional mode
3. Need validation → Use Fernand
4. Need orchestration → Use Cat

Tier Selection Guide #

Choose This Tier	If You…
B (Beginner)	Want to learn CRAFT patterns while creating
A (Advanced)	Know CRAFT well and want efficient, clean output
E (Expert)	Are a power user who wants precision and experimental features

Recipe FAQ #

Q1: Does Auguste (E) have AI-to-AI capability? #

A: No — AI-to-AI is reserved for Cat only, even in Expert tier.

Q2: What experimental features are available? #

A: Non-standard persona structures, hybrid profiles, custom inheritance patterns, module bundling. Request explicitly: “Use experimental mode for…”

Q3: How does JSON parameter input work? #

A: Paste JSON with supported parameters. Auguste (E) interprets and applies them directly, filling gaps with expert defaults.

Q4: What’s a Reusable Module? #

A: A standardized block (Expertise, Boundaries, Interaction Patterns) that can be shared across multiple personas. Request: “Create X persona plus a reusable Y module.”

Q5: How do I switch tiers mid-conversation? #

A: It’s cleaner to start a new chat. Say: "Switch to Auguste (B)" or "Switch to Auguste (A)" and attach the appropriate persona file.
