[plan] Document agent persona research findings and patterns #12200

@github-actions

Description

@github-actions

Objective

Add research findings from the agent persona exploration to project documentation, capturing discovered patterns, quality metrics, and best practices.

Context

Discussion #12193 presents comprehensive research on agent behavior across 6 scenarios with 5 personas (Backend Engineer, Frontend Developer, DevOps Engineer, QA Tester, Product Manager). Key findings include:

  • Average quality score: 4.97/5.0
  • 100% security compliance (read-only permissions, safe-outputs)
  • Consistent documentation structure (5-7 files per workflow)
  • Appropriate tool selection across all scenarios

Approach

  1. Create docs/research/agent-persona-exploration-2026-01.md with full research findings
  2. Extract patterns into docs/best-practices/workflow-patterns.md:
    • Trigger selection patterns (pull_request 50%, schedule 33%, workflow_run 17%)
    • Tool ecosystem usage (GitHub tools universal, Playwright for browser tasks)
    • Security posture standards (minimal permissions, safe-outputs)
  3. Update AGENTS.md with quality benchmarks and expectations
  4. Add examples from high-scoring scenarios to documentation

Files to Create

  • docs/research/agent-persona-exploration-2026-01.md
  • docs/best-practices/workflow-patterns.md

Files to Modify

  • docs/ - Update navigation to include research section
  • AGENTS.md - Add quality benchmarks section
  • README.md - Reference research findings if appropriate

Acceptance Criteria

  • Research findings documented with all key metrics
  • Quality score breakdown table included (6 scenarios)
  • Pattern analysis captured (triggers, tools, security)
  • Best practices extracted and documented
  • Documentation links updated
  • Examples from high-scoring scenarios included
