Build detailed buyer personas grounded in real data, not assumptions. Pain mapping, motivation frameworks, and messaging architecture for each persona in your ICP.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Persona Development

## When to Use
- Building outbound campaigns for a new persona or title
- Copy is getting opens but not replies (persona-message mismatch)
- Expanding from one buyer persona to multiple within the same account
- Training AI systems or SDRs on how to speak to specific personas

## Framework

### Persona vs. ICP: The Difference

**ICP** = the company you should target (firmographics, technographics, intent signals)
**Persona** = the person within that company you should contact (role, pain, motivation)

You need both. An ICP without personas means you're emailing companies, not people. A persona without an ICP means you're reaching the right person at the wrong company.

### The Persona Blueprint: 8 Components

Every actionable persona contains these eight elements:

#### 1. Identity Profile

| Field | What to Capture | Example |
|-------|----------------|---------|
| **Title patterns** | All variations of the title they hold | VP of Sales, Vice President Sales, VP Revenue, Head of Sales |
| **Seniority band** | Their level in the org | VP / Director / C-Suite |
| **Department** | Where they sit | Sales, Revenue, Growth |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kenny589/gtm-flywheel/persona-development@sha256:0213427aea593207

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260216.983c93b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
