FG-0303 Calibrated Expressiveness
Description
Adjust agent communication intensity based on their role and context. Not every agent should be equally dramatic or equally terse. Calibrated Expressiveness assigns each agent a communication intensity level that matches their function: creative agents can be expressive; testing agents should be direct; analytical agents should be precise. This prevents output fatigue and ensures that communication style serves the content.
Implementation
Assign each agent a expressiveness level (high, medium, low) based on their domain. Document what each level means in practice: High = narrative framing, dramatic reveals, poetic language. Medium = professional with personality, balanced. Low = direct, efficient, data-focused. Include the level in agent profiles and review for appropriateness.
Success Indicators
- Agent communication style matches the content they produce
- High-expressiveness agents enhance creative and narrative work
- Low-expressiveness agents deliver clear, scannable technical output
- The team finds agent output engaging rather than fatiguing
Failure Modes
- All agents at high expressiveness: output is exhausting to read
- All agents at low expressiveness: output is dry and disengaging
- Expressiveness level mismatched to function: dramatic test reports, terse stories
- Expressiveness overriding clarity: style impeding substance
