ADR 0002: Model Sarah as an OpenAgents persona

Date: 2026-08-20

Status: Accepted

Context

Sarah has a distinct identity, voice, behavior contract, persona artifacts, and evaluation material. Generic runtime infrastructure also inherited Sarah names during integration. Treating Sarah as either a separate application or a name for all infrastructure makes ownership unclear.

Decision

Model Sarah as a persona and behavior package inside the OpenAgents application. Keep Sarah names when identity is part of the contract, including persona artifact IDs, behavior revisions, evaluations, visible identity, and voice copy.

Use OpenAgents names for generic supervisors, web helpers, style packs, runtime paths, build services, test cases, and configuration. Gate 2 completed that semantic rename and added an executable allowlist for intentional references.

Consequences

  • The product can add other personas without duplicating application infrastructure.
  • Persona-specific history and provenance remain accurate.
  • Generic code no longer implies that all OpenAgents behavior belongs to one persona.
