Remaining decision

Kai needs to choose one favorite color for every canonical personality. The embedded source already carries:

  • curious - #d98e48
  • grounded - #5fa87a
  • meticulous - #7d9fd3

The remaining thirteen personalities need colors: optimistic, bold, warm, candid, playful, imaginative, diplomatic, reflective, protective, energetic, nurturing, charming, and quirky.

The parser enforces the terminal-legible OKLab band, so every chosen hex must pass the existing color gate.

Resolved here

  • The global catalog remains sixteen role-neutral personalities.
  • Every role owns the approved three-personality compatibility set recorded in commit 2679800 and issue #42.
  • Seats remain personality-neutral and have no personality default.
  • Agent-compose issue #44 owns the stable catalog bindings.
  • AOS issue #622 owns the reusable personality skill provider.

Output

The completed palette lands in internal/person/person.kdl. No schema change, seat change, AOS prose, or Ward policy belongs in this issue.

Execution type

HITL. Color selection is Kai taste. The parser and tests can validate the finished choices mechanically.

Kai resolved the role and personality model on 2026-07-22:

  • Keep the global catalog at sixteen role-neutral personalities.
  • Each role names a fixed curated set of two or three allowed personalities. The initial matrix uses three for every role.
  • Seats remain personality-neutral. They map harness lineage to a name and pronouns only.
  • A compose request explicitly selects role and personality. Agent-compose validates the pairing.
  • Remove per-seat personality defaults from this issue. They are not part of the model.

Approved compatibility matrix:

  • director: bold, grounded, diplomatic
  • advisor: reflective, curious, candid
  • pm: warm, meticulous, curious
  • designer: imaginative, playful, warm
  • engineer: curious, grounded, meticulous
  • qa: meticulous, candid, playful
  • ops: protective, grounded, reflective
  • sales: charming, energetic, warm
  • social: quirky, playful, optimistic
  • customer-success: nurturing, diplomatic, optimistic

The favorite-color palette remains the only unresolved policy input here.

Kai delegated the palette choice to the agent. The selected canonical palette is:

  • optimistic - #d3b63b - sunlit gold
  • curious - #d98e48 - exploratory amber, preserved
  • bold - #e1514e - decisive crimson
  • meticulous - #7d9fd3 - precise blue, preserved
  • grounded - #5fa87a - steady sage, preserved
  • warm - #ff9c79 - open coral
  • candid - #3dbfe2 - clear cyan
  • playful - #e882e1 - lively magenta
  • imaginative - #b682ed - divergent violet
  • diplomatic - #19a9b0 - balanced teal
  • reflective - #787bd2 - contemplative indigo
  • protective - #009a85 - sheltering emerald
  • energetic - #9bb611 - kinetic chartreuse
  • nurturing - #e996a2 - gentle rose
  • charming - #df63a4 - expressive pink
  • quirky - #85d353 - unexpected lime

All sixteen colors pass the actual OKLab parse gate. The three existing colors remain byte-identical. The closest pair has OKLab distance 0.070, so the palette retains perceptual separation while keeping a coherent muted spectrum.
