Questions
Is this just a themed writing style?
No. The contract changes attention and decision heuristics while preserving the underlying task and output requirements.
Does it make the agent pretend to be the archetype?
No. Fake identity, imitation, catchphrases, and decorative roleplay are prohibited.
Can I control the intensity?
Yes. Subtle is the default; noticeable and full temperament are opt-in.
What happens in high-stakes work?
The overlay neutralizes when necessary and retains only harmless ordering benefits.
Does it need tools or accounts?
No. Normal use requires only the task context supplied to the agent.
Do the fixtures prove identical behavior on every model?
No. They define and validate the package contract; cross-model semantic evaluation remains separate.
