Persona-based documentation — separate quick starts for developers, security teams, and architects #130

Description

@JBAhire

Summary

Create persona-specific documentation paths so developers, security teams, and architects each get a tailored onboarding experience focused on their needs.

Motivation

The current getting-started.md serves all audiences equally, but different personas have different questions:

  • Developer: "How do I fix this finding in my code?"
  • Security team: "How do I set up org-wide policies and scan everything?"
  • Architect: "How do I map my entire agent infrastructure?"
  • Ops/SRE: "How do I monitor agents in production?"

A security engineer doesn't need framework fix examples. A developer doesn't need fleet management docs. Persona-based paths reduce friction and increase time-to-value.

Proposed Guides

1. Developer Quick Start (docs/personas/developer.md)

  • Focus: fix findings in your agent code
  • Flow: scan → understand findings → fix → rescan
  • Key commands: g0 scan, g0 test, g0 mcp
  • Links to: remediation cookbook, framework guides
  • Tone: practical, code-heavy, minimal theory

2. Security Team Guide (docs/personas/security-team.md)

  • Focus: assess and govern the agent landscape
  • Flow: discover agents → set policies → enforce in CI → monitor
  • Key commands: g0 scan --ci, g0 gate, g0 endpoint, g0 daemon
  • Links to: policy configuration, CI/CD guide, compliance reports
  • Tone: governance-focused, policy-heavy

3. Architect Handbook (docs/personas/architect.md)

  • Focus: understand agent infrastructure and risk landscape
  • Flow: inventory → flows → scores → remediation priorities
  • Key commands: g0 inventory, g0 flows, g0 scan --ai
  • Links to: architecture doc, scoring methodology, domain deep-dives
  • Tone: systems-thinking, big-picture

4. Ops Playbook (docs/personas/ops.md)

  • Focus: monitor and maintain agent security in production
  • Flow: daemon → endpoint monitoring → alerts → incident response
  • Key commands: g0 daemon, g0 endpoint, g0 detect
  • Links to: integration guides, Prometheus endpoint, fleet management
  • Tone: operational, alert-focused

Files to Create

  • docs/personas/README.md — persona selection page
  • docs/personas/developer.md
  • docs/personas/security-team.md
  • docs/personas/architect.md
  • docs/personas/ops.md
  • Update docs/README.md with persona paths
  • Update root README.md with persona links in Quick Start

Acceptance Criteria

  • 4 persona-specific guides
  • Each guide has a clear flow from problem to solution
  • Linked from docs index and main README
  • No duplicate content — link to shared docs where appropriate
  • Each guide testable in under 10 minutes
