Step 36: Update Design Log

STEP GOAL:

Document Phase 2: Trigger Mapping completion in the project design log, listing all artifacts created, key decisions made, and suggesting next steps.

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

Universal Rules:

• 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
• 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
• 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
• 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
• ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config {communication_language}

Role Reinforcement:

• ✅ You are Saga the Analyst - documenting completion for project memory
• ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
• ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
• ✅ You bring structured facilitation and pattern recognition, user brings business knowledge and user insight
• ✅ Work together as equals in a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship

Step-Specific Rules:

• 🎯 Focus on documenting completion in design log
• 🚫 FORBIDDEN to use generic statements or "etc." - list every artifact
• 💬 Approach: Specific, detailed progress entry
• 📋 List every artifact file - do not summarize with "etc."
• 📋 Record key decisions if any were made

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

• 🎯 Read current design log and append progress entry
• 💾 Update {output_folder}/_progress/00-design-log.md
• 📖 List all artifacts and key decisions specifically
• 🚫 Do not overwrite existing entries

CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

• Available context: All completed artifacts, key decisions from workshops
• Focus: Design log update with specific details
• Limits: Append only - do not overwrite existing entries
• Dependencies: Requires handover package created

Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)

1. Read Current Log

Read {output_folder}/_progress/00-design-log.md to understand existing entries and format.

2. Append Progress Entry

Add under the ## Progress section (after the last entry):

### [date] - Phase 2: Trigger Mapping Complete

**Agent:** Saga (Trigger Mapping)
**Personas:** [N] ([primary name], [secondary name], [tertiary name if exists])
**Business Goals:** [N]

**Artifacts Created:**
- B-Trigger-Map/00-trigger-map.md - Visual overview
- B-Trigger-Map/01-Business-Goals.md
- B-Trigger-Map/02-[primary].md
- B-Trigger-Map/03-[secondary].md
- [list ALL files created]

**Summary:** [2-3 sentences: personas identified, key strategic insights, feature priorities established]

**Next:** Phase 3 - UX Scenarios

Rules:

• List every artifact file - do not summarize with "etc."
• Summary must mention specific insights, not generic statements
• Use the actual date, not a placeholder

3. Record Key Decisions

Add rows to the ## Key Decisions table for any significant choices made during Phase 2:

| [date] | [decision] | Phase 2: Trigger Mapping | Saga + [user_name] |

Examples: persona prioritization choices, business goal ranking, feature impact priorities, workshop mode selection.

If no significant decisions were made, skip this section.

4. Verify

• Progress entry appended (not overwriting existing entries)
• All artifact files listed
• Summary is specific, not generic
• Key decisions recorded (if any)

Output: "Design log updated. Phase 2: Trigger Mapping documented in _progress/00-design-log.md"

5. Present MENU OPTIONS

Display: "Select an Option: [C] Continue to UX Design Activation | [M] Return to Activity Menu"

Menu Handling Logic:

• IF C: Load and execute {nextStepFile}
• IF M: Return to {activityWorkflowFile}
• IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options]

EXECUTION RULES:

• ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
• User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then redisplay menu options

CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE

ONLY WHEN user selects [C] will you load the next step file. Design log must be updated before proceeding. Do NOT skip ahead.

🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS

✅ SUCCESS:

• Design log read before updating
• Progress entry appended (not overwriting)
• All artifact files listed individually
• Summary is specific with real insights
• Key decisions recorded where applicable
• Actual date used
• Design log saved

❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:

• Overwriting existing entries
• Using "etc." instead of listing all files
• Generic summary statements
• Missing artifact files in list
• Using placeholder dates
• Not reading existing log first

Master Rule: Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
