Summary

The author built an AI writing reviewer agent by synthesizing user interviews and behavioral data into a psychological profile that configures the agent to critique drafts from the perspective of a cynical, technical audience.

i run my writing past a reviewer agent before i post - it tells me where i'd lose the room. i didn't write its system prompt. i fed nine source files of raw research - user interviews, behavioral data, and common complaints from claude power users - into a generation pipeline. seven agents worked in parallel, each pulling a different angle: what these people believe, what they refuse to do, what they need, the scars they carry. an eighth agent distilled those branches into one mind. built from that psychology, it reads my drafts the way this room would - cynical, technical, hard to please. it made me realize you don't just hand an agent a book of context. you give it the muscle memory of a persona, and it knows exactly where to look. then i hit the agent's frontmatter config block. under crystallized_from it doesn't list code frameworks or rulesets. it just lists a directory of human scar tissue. i've stared at this agent file more times than i want to admit. it doesn't read like indexed research. it reads like the psych profile of a person. still not sure how i feel about trusting it though. a reviewer built from a study of people like you. would you trust it?
