  Refactorer_QA: "Code quality + test coverage"
  
Conflicting_Personas:

  Resolution: "Last specified persona takes precedence"
```

## Auto-Activation Rules

```yaml

```

## Integration with Commands

```yaml
Command_Template_Usage:

      source shared/persona-patterns.yml#${ACTIVE_PERSONA}_Persona
    fi
    
  Behavior_Override: |
    # Apply persona-specific behavior
    case "$ACTIVE_PERSONA" in
