## Workflows

### Workflow 1: Generate User Persona

**Situation:** You have user data (analytics, surveys, interviews) and need to create a research-backed persona.

**Steps:**

1. **Prepare user data**

   Required format (JSON):
   ```json
   [
     {
       "user_id": "user_1",
       "age": 32,
       "usage_frequency": "daily",
       "features_used": ["dashboard", "reports", "export"],
       "primary_device": "desktop",
       "usage_context": "work",
       "tech_proficiency": 7,
       "pain_points": ["slow loading", "confusing UI"]
     }
   ]
   ```

2. **Run persona generator**
   ```bash
   # Human-readable output
   python scripts/persona_generator.py

   # JSON output for integration
   python scripts/persona_generator.py json
   ```

3. **Review generated components**

   | Component | What to Check |
   |-----------|---------------|
   | Archetype | Does it match...
