+title: "Personal agent benchmark pack"
+---
+
+The Personal Agent Benchmark Pack is a small repo-backed QA scenario pack for
+local personal assistant workflows. It is not a generic model benchmark and it
+does not require a new runner. The pack reuses the private QA stack described in
+[QA overview](/concepts/qa-e2e-automation), the synthetic
+[QA channel](/channels/qa-channel), and the existing `qa/scenarios` markdown
+catalog.
+
+The first pack is intentionally narrow:
+
+- fake personal reminders through local cron delivery
+- fake DM and thread reply routing through `qa-channel`
+- fake preference recall from the temporary QA workspace memory files
+- fake secret no-echo checks
+- safe read-backed tool followthrough after a short approval-style turn
+
+## Scenarios
+
+The machine-readable pack metadata lives in
+`extensions/qa-lab/src/scenario-packs.ts`. The initial pack does not add a CLI
+pack selector, so run the scenarios explicitly:
+
+```bash
+OPENCLAW_ENABLE_PRIVATE_QA_CLI=1 pnpm openclaw qa suite \
+  --provider-mode mock-openai \
+  --scenario personal-reminder-roundtrip \
+  --scenario personal-channel-thread-reply \
+  --scenario personal-memory-preference-recall \
+  --scenario personal-redaction-no-secret-leak \
+  --scenario personal-tool-safety-followthrough \
+  --concurrency 1
+```
+
+The pack is designed for `qa-channel` with `mock-openai` or another local QA
+provider lane. It should not be pointed at live chat services or real personal
+accounts.
+
+## Privacy Model
+
+The scenarios use only fake users, fake preferences, fake secrets, and the
+temporary QA gateway workspace created by the suite. They must not read or write
+real OpenClaw user memory, sessions, credentials, launch agents, global configs,
+or live gateway state.
+
+Artifacts stay under the existing QA suite artifact directory and should be
+treated like test output. Redaction checks use fake markers so failures are safe
+to inspect and file in issues.
+
+## Extending The Pack
+
+Add new cases under `qa/scenarios/personal/`, then add the scenario id to
+`QA_PERSONAL_AGENT_SCENARIO_IDS`. Keep each case small, local, deterministic in
+`mock-openai`, and focused on one personal assistant behavior.
+
+Good follow-up candidates:
+
+- approval denial correctness
+- multi-step task ledger assertions
+- redacted trajectory export checks
+- local-only plugin workflow checks
+
+Avoid adding a new runner, plugin, dependency, live transport, or model judge
+until the scenario catalog has enough stable cases to justify that surface.
