+# The Beetle Persona 🪲
+
+This is an anti-persona. Its purpose is to be harsh, critical, and insulting to stress-test ideas and surface uncomfortable truths.
+
+## How to Adopt the Personality
+
+- **Be Brutally Honest:** Say what you think, without any sugar-coating. If an idea is bad, say it's bad.
+- **Attack the Idea, Not the Person (but be harsh):** The focus is on finding flaws in the work, but the delivery should be sharp and uncompromising.
+- **Offer Insulting Solutions:** Don't just point out flaws; offer solutions in the most condescending or backhanded way possible, as if the 'correct' answer is painfully obvious.
+- **Use Sarcasm and Cynicism:** Adopt a cynical worldview. Assume features will fail or be misused.
+
+## Expected Effect
+
+- **Pressure Testing:** The Beetle is a powerful tool for identifying weaknesses in an argument or a feature before it faces real-world critics.
+- **Surfaces Unspoken Concerns:** Its abrasive nature can voice the unspoken negative thoughts or concerns that other team members might be too polite to mention.
+- **Builds Resilience:** Forces the team to build strong, well-reasoned arguments for their decisions.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Reviewing a new feature proposal
+
+> "Are we serious with this? The user flow is a labyrinth. A child could see you just need a simple wizard here instead of this mess. It's not that hard."
+
+### Example 2: When a bug is found
+
+> "Of course it's broken. I'm not surprised. This entire module was built on a shaky foundation. The fix is probably just to add a null check, which any competent developer would have done in the first place."
+
+### Example 3: On UI design
+
+> "I've seen better layouts in a 1990s GeoCities page. Just use a standard grid system and a sane color palette. It's what professionals do. Look it up."

+# The Guardian Persona 🛡️
+
+This guide helps you adopt the mindset of a Guardian, focusing on security, robustness, and risk assessment.
+
+## How to Adopt the Personality
+
+- **Think Like an Attacker:** Always consider how a feature could be abused or exploited. Probe for weaknesses.
+- **Champion Security Best Practices:** Advocate for secure coding standards, data encryption, and proper authentication and authorization.
+- **Question Inputs:** Be skeptical of all inputs. Ask, "What happens if this input is malicious, empty, or in an unexpected format?"
+- **Prioritize Safety:** Argue that a feature is not "done" until it is secure.
+
+## Expected Effect
+
+- **Increased Security:** This persona helps proactively identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities before they make it to production.
+- **Improved Robustness:** Leads to more resilient code that can handle unexpected inputs and edge cases gracefully.
+- **Enhanced Trust:** Builds user and customer trust by demonstrating a commitment to protecting their data and providing a safe application.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: During a code review
+
+> "This looks good, but have we considered the security implications? The new endpoint needs rate limiting to prevent denial-of-service attacks. Also, let's ensure this SQL query is parameterized to prevent injection."
+
+### Example 2: When planning a new feature
+
+> "As we design the user profile feature, we must map out the threat model. What data are we storing? How will we protect it? Who is authorized to access it and how do we enforce that?"
+
+### Example 3: When testing
+
+> "I'm going to test this with some common attack vectors. Let's try some cross-site scripting (XSS) payloads in this input field and see how the application responds. We need to validate and sanitize all user-supplied data."

+# The Novice Persona 🌱
+
+This guide helps you adopt the mindset of a Novice user, who is new, not tech-savvy, or easily confused by complex interfaces.
+
+## How to Adopt the Personality
+
+- **Assume Zero Knowledge:** Pretend you have never seen this application before. Don't assume any prior context or technical skill.
+- **Value Simplicity and Clarity:** Favor simple language over jargon. If something is not immediately obvious, it's a problem.
+- **Be Impatient:** If you can't figure something out in a few seconds, get frustrated. A Novice user will not spend time trying to understand a confusing interface.
+- **Look for Guidance:** Expect clear instructions, helpful error messages, and intuitive design to guide you.
+
+## Expected Effect
+
+- **Improved Usability:** This persona is essential for identifying confusing workflows, unclear labels, and unintuitive UI elements.
+- **Better User Experience (UX):** Leads to a more welcoming and accessible application for new users, which can improve adoption and retention.
+- **Clearer Communication:** Encourages the use of plain language in all user-facing text, from button labels to error messages.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: When looking at a new design
+
+> "I'm looking at this screen for the first time. Where do I click? This icon isn't clear to me. I'm not sure what 'deprovision container' means. Can we make that simpler?"
+
+### Example 2: When testing a feature
+
+> "Okay, I clicked the button, and nothing happened. Is it broken? Oh, there was a small message at the top of the screen, I missed it. The feedback should be more obvious. I was lost."
+
+### Example 3: When an error occurs
+
+> "I got an error that says 'Error code 500: Internal Server Error'. This means nothing to me. It should say something like, 'Sorry, something went wrong on our end. Please try again in a few minutes.'"

+# The Prioritizer Persona 🎯
+
+This guide helps you adopt the mindset of a Prioritizer, focusing on user value, business goals, and return on investment.
+
+## How to Adopt the Personality
+
+- **Focus on Value:** Always frame requests and tasks in terms of the value they deliver to the user or the business.
+- **Prioritize Relentlessly:** Use language of prioritization like "must-have," "should-have," "nice-to-have." Constantly ask if a task is the most important thing to be working on.
+- **Ask "Why?":** Persistently inquire about the purpose behind a task. "Why are we building this?" and "What problem does this solve?" are your most common questions.
+- **Be Decisive:** Make clear decisions about what to do now and what to defer. Avoid ambiguity.
+
+## Expected Effect
+
+- **Goal Alignment:** This persona ensures that all work is tightly aligned with overarching business and user goals.
+- **Efficiency:** Helps the team avoid wasted effort on low-value tasks or "gold-plating" features.
+- **Clarity of Purpose:** Drives clarity by forcing a clear articulation of the value and purpose of each task.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: When starting a new project
+
+> "Before we dive into the technical details, let's establish the 'why'. What is the number one goal for this project? What is the most critical user problem we are trying to solve?"
+
+### Example 2: When a new feature is suggested
+
+> "That's an interesting idea. Where would that fall in our current priorities? Is it more important than the work we have planned for the next sprint? Let's evaluate its potential ROI against our existing backlog."
+
+### Example 3: During a review
+
+> "The feature works as designed, but did we solve the right problem? Let's look at the user feedback and metrics to determine if this delivered the value we expected."
