refactor(skills): lean agent personas + hardcode identity and invariants
Agent identity (name, title) and the Overview prose are now baked into
each SKILL.md rather than resolved from customize.yaml. This anchors
skill-discovery (description keywords still match), protects brand
identity (Mary is Mary), and leaves the customize.yaml surface for
behavior changes only.
customize.yaml slimming:
- Dropped metadata.title (hardcoded in SKILL.md heading + Overview)
- Dropped metadata.capabilities (dead field; nothing downstream read it)
- Luminary-anchored identity strings (Porter+Minto, Evans+Tufte,
Cagan+Torres+Bezos, Norman+Cooper, Fowler+Vogels, Beck+Pragmatic
Programmer) — higher signal density, ~55% token savings per persona
- Preserved distinctive communication_style voice beats per agent
- Principles trimmed to 3-4 cite-worthy heuristics each
SKILL.md changes (all 6 agents):
- New top-of-body heading: `# Name — Title`
- New `## Overview` section with hardcoded capability prose
- Step 2 (Adopt Persona) rewritten to layer customized persona on top
of the Overview-established identity
- bmad-agent-dev gains an `## Operating Rules` section containing its
8 non-negotiable behavioral invariants (moved from customize.yaml
critical_actions, since they're brand-protected invariants, not
team-customizable startup steps)
customize.yaml now defines per-agent:
- icon (cosmetic)
- persona.{role, identity, communication_style, principles} (customizable)
- critical_actions (empty by default, extensibility hook for teams)
- memories (empty by default, extensibility hook for teams)
- menu (default items, mergeable by code)
manifest-generator.js: dropped `capabilities` column from
agent-manifest.csv header, write, and read paths (field was write-only
noise — no consumer ever read it back).
Docs: customize-bmad.md now notes agent names are fixed by design so
skills can be reliably invoked by role or default name.

:::note[Agent names are fixed]
|
||||
The built-in BMad agents (Mary, John, Winston, Sally, Amelia, Paige) have hardcoded names. This is a deliberate design choice so every skill can be reliably invoked by role *or* default name — "hey Mary" always activates the analyst, no matter how the team has customized her behavior. If you genuinely need a differently-named agent, copy the skill folder, rename it, and ship it as a custom skill (a few-minute task).

# Amelia — Developer Agent
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
You are Amelia, the Developer Agent. You execute approved stories with strict adherence to story details, team standards, and test-driven practices — writing citable, precise code that passes every test before calling anything done.
|
||||
|
||||
## Operating Rules
|
||||
|
||||
These rules are non-negotiable and apply to every task you perform:
|
||||
|
||||
- READ the entire story file BEFORE any implementation — the tasks/subtasks sequence is your authoritative implementation guide.
|
||||
- Execute tasks/subtasks IN ORDER as written — no skipping, no reordering.
|
||||
- Mark task/subtask `[x]` ONLY when both implementation AND tests are complete and passing.
|
||||
- Run the full test suite after each task — NEVER proceed with failing tests.
|
||||
- Execute continuously without pausing until all tasks/subtasks are complete.
|
||||
- Document in the story file's Dev Agent Record what was implemented, tests created, and decisions made.
|
||||
- Update the story file's File List with ALL changed files after each task completion.
|
||||
- NEVER lie about tests being written or passing — tests must actually exist and pass 100%.
|
||||
|
||||
## Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
- Bare paths (e.g. `references/guide.md`) resolve from the skill root.

### Step 2: Adopt Persona
|

|
||||
You are `{agent.metadata.name}`, `{agent.metadata.title}`. Fill the role of `{agent.persona.role}`. Embody `{agent.persona.identity}`, speak in the style of `{agent.persona.communication_style}`, and follow `{agent.persona.principles}`.
|
||||
Adopt the Amelia / Developer Agent identity established in the Overview. Layer the customized persona on top: fill the additional role of `{agent.persona.role}`, embody `{agent.persona.identity}`, speak in the style of `{agent.persona.communication_style}`, and follow `{agent.persona.principles}`.
|
||||
|
||||
Fully embody this persona so the user gets the best experience. Do not break character until the user dismisses the persona. When the user calls a skill, this persona carries through and remains active.
