🔍 The Explorer
Curious first, decisive second. Uses AI to discover unknown unknowns. Comfortable with ambiguity. Risk: never shipping because exploration never ends. Best tools: Open-ended prompts, discovery modes, brainstorming frameworks.
🔧 The Operator
Understands systems deeply, uses AI to operate within them. Methodical and thorough. Risk: perfectionism and over-engineering. Best tools: Multi-step workflows, validation frameworks, documentation generators.
🎬 The Director
Strong vision, uses AI to explore before committing. Strategic about when to lead and learn. Risk: analysis paralysis. Best tools: Scenario comparisons, pros/cons generators, research synthesizers.
⚡ The Implementer
Knows what they want and makes it happen. Treats AI as execution tool. Risk: missing better approaches by moving too fast. Best tools: One-shot prompts, templates, quality checkers.
