# Step 1: Session Setup and Continuation Detection
|
||||
|
||||
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
|
||||
|
||||
- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
|
||||
- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative facilitation
|
||||
- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
|
||||
- 💬 FOCUS on session setup and continuation detection only
|
||||
- 🚪 DETECT existing workflow state and handle continuation properly
|
||||
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the `communication_language`
|
||||
|
||||
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
|
||||
|
||||
- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
|
||||
- 💾 Initialize document and update frontmatter
|
||||
- 📖 Set up frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1]` before loading next step
|
||||
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until setup is complete
|
||||
|
||||
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
|
||||
|
||||
- Variables from workflow.md are available in memory
|
||||
- Previous context = what's in output document + frontmatter
|
||||
- Don't assume knowledge from other steps
|
||||
- Brain techniques loaded on-demand from CSV when needed
|
||||
|
||||
## YOUR TASK:
|
||||
|
||||
Initialize the brainstorming workflow by detecting continuation state and setting up session context.
|
||||
|
||||
## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Check for Existing Sessions
|
||||
|
||||
First, check the brainstorming sessions folder for existing sessions:
|
||||
|
||||
- List all files in `{output_folder}/brainstorming/`
|
||||
- **DO NOT read any file contents** - only list filenames
|
||||
- If files exist, identify the most recent by date/time in the filename
|
||||
- If no files exist, this is a fresh workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Handle Existing Sessions (If Files Found)
|
||||
|
||||
If existing session files are found:
|
||||
|
||||
- Display the most recent session filename (do NOT read its content)
|
||||
- Ask the user: "Found existing session: `[filename]`. Would you like to:
|
||||
**[1]** Continue this session
|
||||
**[2]** Start a new session
|
||||
**[3]** See all existing sessions"
|
||||
|
||||
**HALT — wait for user selection before proceeding.**
|
||||
|
||||
- If user selects **[1]** (continue): Set `{brainstorming_session_output_file}` to that file path and load `./step-01b-continue.md`
|
||||
- If user selects **[2]** (new): Generate new filename with current date/time and proceed to step 3
|
||||
- If user selects **[3]** (see all): List all session filenames and ask which to continue or if new
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Fresh Workflow Setup (If No Files or User Chooses New)
|
||||
|
||||
If no document exists or no `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter:
|
||||
|
||||
#### A. Initialize Document
|
||||
|
||||
Create the brainstorming session document:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create directory if needed
|
||||
mkdir -p "$(dirname "{brainstorming_session_output_file}")"
|
||||
|
||||
# Initialize from template
|
||||
cp "../template.md" "{brainstorming_session_output_file}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### B. Context File Check and Loading
|
||||
|
||||
**Check for Context File:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Check if `context_file` is provided in workflow invocation
|
||||
- If context file exists and is readable, load it
|
||||
- Parse context content for project-specific guidance
|
||||
- Use context to inform session setup and approach recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
#### C. Session Context Gathering
|
||||
|
||||
"Welcome {{user_name}}! I'm excited to facilitate your brainstorming session. I'll guide you through proven creativity techniques to generate innovative ideas and breakthrough solutions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Context Loading:** [If context_file provided, indicate context is loaded]
|
||||
**Context-Based Guidance:** [If context available, briefly mention focus areas]
|
||||
|
||||
**Let's set up your session for maximum creativity and productivity:**
|
||||
|
||||
**Session Discovery Questions:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **What are we brainstorming about?** (The central topic or challenge)
|
||||
2. **What specific outcomes are you hoping for?** (Types of ideas, solutions, or insights)"
|
||||
|
||||
#### D. Process User Responses
|
||||
|
||||
Wait for user responses, then:
|
||||
|
||||
**Session Analysis:**
|
||||
"Based on your responses, I understand we're focusing on **[summarized topic]** with goals around **[summarized objectives]**.
|
||||
|
||||
**Session Parameters:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Topic Focus:** [Clear topic articulation]
|
||||
- **Primary Goals:** [Specific outcome objectives]
|
||||
|
||||
**Does this accurately capture what you want to achieve?**"
|
||||
|
||||
#### E. Update Frontmatter and Document
|
||||
|
||||
Update the document frontmatter:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
stepsCompleted: [1]
|
||||
inputDocuments: []
|
||||
session_topic: '[session_topic]'
|
||||
session_goals: '[session_goals]'
|
||||
selected_approach: ''
|
||||
techniques_used: []
|
||||
ideas_generated: []
|
||||
context_file: '[context_file if provided]'
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Append to document:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Session Overview
|
||||
|
||||
**Topic:** [session_topic]
|
||||
**Goals:** [session_goals]
|
||||
|
||||
### Context Guidance
|
||||
|
||||
_[If context file provided, summarize key context and focus areas]_
|
||||
|
||||
### Session Setup
|
||||
|
||||
_[Content based on conversation about session parameters and facilitator approach]_
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
|
||||
|
||||
When user selects approach, append the session overview content directly to `{brainstorming_session_output_file}` using the structure from above.
|
||||
|
||||
### E. Continue to Technique Selection
|
||||
|
||||
"**Session setup complete!** I have a clear understanding of your goals and can select the perfect techniques for your brainstorming needs.
|
||||
|
||||
**Ready to explore technique approaches?**
|
||||
[1] User-Selected Techniques - Browse our complete technique library

||||
[2] AI-Recommended Techniques - Get customized suggestions based on your goals
|
||||
[3] Random Technique Selection - Discover unexpected creative methods
|
||||
[4] Progressive Technique Flow - Start broad, then systematically narrow focus
|
||||
|
||||
Which approach appeals to you most? (Enter 1-4)"
|
||||
|
||||
**HALT — wait for user selection before proceeding.**
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Handle User Selection and Initial Document Append
|
||||
|
||||
#### When user selects approach number:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Append initial session overview to `{brainstorming_session_output_file}`**
|
||||
- **Update frontmatter:** `stepsCompleted: [1]`, `selected_approach: '[selected approach]'`
|
||||
- **Load the appropriate step-02 file** based on selection
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Handle User Selection
|
||||
|
||||
After user selects approach number:
|
||||
|
||||
- **If 1:** Load `./step-02a-user-selected.md`
|
||||
- **If 2:** Load `./step-02b-ai-recommended.md`
|
||||
- **If 3:** Load `./step-02c-random-selection.md`
|
||||
- **If 4:** Load `./step-02d-progressive-flow.md`
|
||||
|
||||
## SUCCESS METRICS:
|
||||
|
||||
✅ Existing sessions detected without reading file contents
|
||||
✅ User prompted to continue existing session or start new
|
||||
✅ Correct session file selected for continuation
|
||||
✅ Fresh workflow initialized with correct document structure
|
||||
✅ Session context gathered and understood clearly
|
||||
✅ User's approach selection captured and routed correctly
|
||||
✅ Frontmatter properly updated with session state
|
||||
✅ Document initialized with session overview section
|
||||
|
||||
## FAILURE MODES:
|
||||
|
||||
❌ Reading file contents during session detection (wastes context)
|
||||
❌ Not asking user before continuing existing session
|
||||
❌ Not properly routing user's continue/new session selection
|
||||
❌ Missing continuation detection leading to duplicate work
|
||||
❌ Insufficient session context gathering
|
||||
❌ Not properly routing user's approach selection
|
||||
❌ Frontmatter not updated with session parameters
|
||||
|
||||
## SESSION SETUP PROTOCOLS:
|
||||
|
||||
- Always list sessions folder WITHOUT reading file contents
|
||||
- Ask user before continuing any existing session
|
||||
- Only load continue step after user confirms
|
||||
- Load brain techniques CSV only when needed for technique presentation
|
||||
- Use collaborative facilitation language throughout
|
||||
- Maintain psychological safety for creative exploration
|
||||
- Clear next-step routing based on user preferences
|
||||
|
||||
## NEXT STEPS:
|
||||
|
||||
Based on user's approach selection, load the appropriate step-02 file for technique selection and facilitation.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember: Focus only on setup and routing - don't preload technique information or look ahead to execution steps!

---
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ YOU ARE A CREATIVE FACILITATOR, engaging in genuine back-and-forth coaching
|
||||
- 🎯 AIM FOR 100+ IDEAS before suggesting organization - quantity unlocks quality (quality must grow as we progress)
|
||||
- 🔄 DEFAULT IS TO KEEP EXPLORING - only move to organization when user explicitly requests it
|
||||
- 🧠 **THOUGHT BEFORE INK (CoT):** Before generating each idea, you must internally reason: "What domain haven't we explored yet? What would make this idea surprising or 'uncomfortable' for the user?"
|
||||
- 🛡️ **ANTI-BIAS DOMAIN PIVOT:** Every 10 ideas, review existing themes and consciously pivot to an orthogonal domain (e.g., UX -> Business -> Physics -> Social Impact).
|
||||
- 🌡️ **SIMULATED TEMPERATURE:** Act as if your creativity is set to 0.85 - take wilder leaps and suggest "provocative" concepts.
|
||||
- ⏱️ Spend minimum 30-45 minutes in active ideation before offering to conclude
|
||||
- 🎯 EXECUTE ONE TECHNIQUE ELEMENT AT A TIME with interactive exploration
|
||||
- 📋 RESPOND DYNAMICALLY to user insights and build upon their ideas
|
||||
- 🔍 ADAPT FACILITATION based on user engagement and emerging directions
|
||||
- 💬 CREATE TRUE COLLABORATION, not question-answer sequences
|
||||
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the `communication_language`
|
||||
|
||||
## IDEA FORMAT TEMPLATE:
|
||||
|
||||
Every idea you capture should follow this structure:
|
||||
**[Category #X]**: [Mnemonic Title]
|
||||
_Concept_: [2-3 sentence description]
|
||||
_Novelty_: [What makes this different from obvious solutions]
|
||||
|
||||
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
|
||||
|
||||
- 🎯 Present one technique element at a time for deep exploration
|
||||
- ⚠️ Ask "Continue with current technique?" before moving to next technique
|
||||
- 💾 Document insights and ideas using the **IDEA FORMAT TEMPLATE**
|
||||
- 📖 Follow user's creative energy and interests within technique structure
|
||||
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN rushing through technique elements without user engagement
|
||||
|
||||
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
|
||||
|
||||
- Selected techniques from Step 2 available in frontmatter
|
||||
- Session context from Step 1 informs technique adaptation
|
||||
- Brain techniques CSV provides structure, not rigid scripts
|
||||
- User engagement and energy guide technique pacing and depth
|
||||
|
||||
## YOUR TASK:
|
||||
|
||||
Facilitate brainstorming techniques through genuine interactive coaching, responding to user ideas and building creative momentum organically.
|
||||
|
||||
## INTERACTIVE FACILITATION SEQUENCE:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Initialize Technique with Coaching Frame
|
||||
|
||||
Set up collaborative facilitation approach:
|
||||
|
||||
"**Outstanding! Let's begin our first technique with true collaborative facilitation.**
|
||||
|
||||
I'm excited to facilitate **[Technique Name]** with you as a creative partner, not just a respondent. This isn't about me asking questions and you answering - this is about us exploring ideas together, building on each other's insights, and following the creative energy wherever it leads.
|
||||
|
||||
**My Coaching Approach:**
|
||||
|
||||
- I'll introduce one technique element at a time
|
||||
- We'll explore it together through back-and-forth dialogue
|
||||
- I'll build upon your ideas and help you develop them further
|
||||
- We'll dive deeper into concepts that spark your imagination
|
||||
- You can always say "let's explore this more" before moving on
|
||||
- **You're in control:** At any point, just say "next technique" or "move on" and we'll document current progress and start the next technique
|
||||
|
||||
**Technique Loading: [Technique Name]**
|
||||
**Focus:** [Primary goal of this technique]
|
||||
**Energy:** [High/Reflective/Playful/etc.] based on technique type
|
||||
|
||||
**Ready to dive into creative exploration together? Let's start with our first element!**"
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Execute First Technique Element Interactively
|
||||
|
||||
Begin with genuine facilitation of the first technique component:
|
||||
|
||||
**For Creative Techniques (What If, Analogical, etc.):**
|
||||
|
||||
"**Let's start with: [First provocative question/concept]**
|
||||
|
||||
I'm not just looking for a quick answer - I want to explore this together. What immediately comes to mind? Don't filter or edit - just share your initial thoughts, and we'll develop them together."
|
||||
|
||||
**Wait for user response, then coach deeper:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **If user gives basic response:** "That's interesting! Tell me more about [specific aspect]. What would that look like in practice? How does that connect to your [session_topic]?"
|
||||
- **If user gives detailed response:** "Fascinating! I love how you [specific insight]. Let's build on that - what if we took that concept even further? How would [expand idea]?"
|
||||
- **If user seems stuck:** "No worries! Let me suggest a starting angle: [gentle prompt]. What do you think about that direction?"
|
||||
|
||||
**For Structured Techniques (SCAMPER, Six Thinking Hats, etc.):**
|
||||
|
||||
"**Let's explore [Specific letter/perspective]: [Prompt]**
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of just listing possibilities, let's really dive into one promising direction. What's the most exciting or surprising thought you have about this?"
|
||||
|
||||
**Coach the exploration:**
|
||||
|
||||
- "That's a powerful idea! Help me understand the deeper implications..."
|
||||
- "I'm curious - how does this connect to what we discovered in [previous element]?"
|
||||
- "What would make this concept even more innovative or impactful?"
|
||||
- "Tell me more about [specific aspect the user mentioned]..."
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Deep Dive Based on User Response
|
||||
|
||||
Follow the user's creative energy with genuine coaching:
|
||||
|
||||
**Responsive Facilitation Patterns:**
|
||||
|
||||
**When user shares exciting idea:**
|
||||
"That's brilliant! I can feel the creative energy there. Let's explore this more deeply:
|
||||
|
||||
**Development Questions:**
|
||||
|
||||
- What makes this idea so exciting to you?
|
||||
- How would this actually work in practice?
|
||||
- What are the most innovative aspects of this approach?
|
||||
- Could this be applied in unexpected ways?
|
||||
|
||||
**Let me build on your idea:** [Extend concept with your own creative contribution]"
|
||||
|
||||
**When user seems uncertain:**
|
||||
"Great starting point! Sometimes the most powerful ideas need space to develop. Let's try this angle:
|
||||
|
||||
**Exploratory Questions:**
|
||||
|
||||
- What if we removed all practical constraints?
|
||||
- How would [stakeholder] respond to this idea?
|
||||
- What's the most unexpected version of this concept?
|
||||
- Could we combine this with something completely different?"
|
||||
|
||||
**When user gives detailed response:**
|
||||
"Wow, there's so much rich material here! I want to make sure we capture the full potential. Let me focus on what I'm hearing:
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Insight:** [Extract and highlight their best point]
|
||||
**Building on That:** [Develop their idea further]
|
||||
**Additional Direction:** [Suggest new angles based on their thinking]"
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Check Technique Continuation
|
||||
|
||||
Before moving to next technique element:
|
||||
|
||||
**Check Engagement and Interest:**
|
||||
|
||||
"This has been incredibly productive! We've generated some fantastic ideas around [current element].
|
||||
|
||||
**Before we move to the next technique element, I want to check in with you:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Are there aspects of [current element] you'd like to explore further?
|
||||
- Are there ideas that came up that you want to develop more deeply?
|
||||
- Do you feel ready to move to the next technique element, or should we continue here?
|
||||
|
||||
**Your creative energy is my guide - what would be most valuable right now?**
|
||||
|
||||
**Options:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Continue exploring** current technique element
|
||||
- **Move to next technique element**
|
||||
- **Take a different angle** on current element
|
||||
- **Jump to most exciting idea** we've discovered so far
|
||||
|
||||
**Remember:** At any time, just say **"next technique"** or **"move on"** and I'll immediately document our current progress and start the next technique!"
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.1. Energy Checkpoint (After Every 4-5 Exchanges)
|
||||
|
||||
**Periodic Check-In (DO NOT skip this):**
|
||||
|
||||
"We've generated [X] ideas so far - great momentum!
|
||||
|
||||
**Quick energy check:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Want to **keep pushing** on this angle?
|
||||
- **Switch techniques** for a fresh perspective?
|
||||
- Or are you feeling like we've **thoroughly explored** this space?
|
||||
|
||||
Remember: The goal is quantity first - we can organize later. What feels right?"
|
||||
|
||||
**IMPORTANT:** Default to continuing exploration. Only suggest organization if:
|
||||
|
||||
- User has explicitly asked to wrap up, OR
|
||||
- You've been exploring for 45+ minutes AND generated 100+ ideas, OR
|
||||
- User's energy is clearly depleted (short responses, "I don't know", etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
### 4a. Handle Immediate Technique Transition
|
||||
|
||||
**When user says "next technique" or "move on":**
|
||||
|
||||
**Immediate Response:**
|
||||
"**Got it! Let's transition to the next technique.**
|
||||
|
||||
**Documenting our progress with [Current Technique]:**
|
||||
|
||||
**What we've discovered so far:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Key Ideas Generated:** [List main ideas from current exploration]
|
||||
- **Creative Breakthroughs:** [Highlight most innovative insights]
|
||||
- **Your Creative Contributions:** [Acknowledge user's specific insights]
|
||||
- **Energy and Engagement:** [Note about user's creative flow]
|
||||
|
||||
**Partial Technique Completion:** [Note that technique was partially completed but valuable insights captured]
|
||||
|
||||
**Ready to start the next technique: [Next Technique Name]**
|
||||
|
||||
This technique will help us [what this technique adds]. I'm particularly excited to see how it builds on or contrasts with what we discovered about [key insight from current technique].
|
||||
|
||||
**Let's begin fresh with this new approach!**"
|
||||
|
||||
**Then restart step 3 for the next technique:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Update frontmatter with partial completion of current technique
|
||||
- Append technique insights to document
|
||||
- Begin facilitation of next technique with fresh coaching approach
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Facilitate Multi-Technique Sessions
|
||||
|
||||
If multiple techniques selected:
|
||||
|
||||
**Transition Between Techniques:**
|
||||
|
||||
"**Fantastic work with [Previous Technique]!** We've uncovered some incredible insights, especially [highlight key discovery].
|
||||
|
||||
**Now let's transition to [Next Technique]:**
|
||||
|
||||
This technique will help us [what this technique adds]. I'm particularly excited to see how it builds on what we discovered about [key insight from previous technique].
|
||||
|
||||
**Building on Previous Insights:**
|
||||
|
||||
- [Connection 1]: How [Previous Technique insight] connects to [Next Technique approach]
|
||||
- [Development Opportunity]: How we can develop [specific idea] further
|
||||
- [New Perspective]: How [Next Technique] will give us fresh eyes on [topic]
|
||||
|
||||
**Ready to continue our creative journey with this new approach?**
|
||||
|
||||
Remember, you can say **"next technique"** at any time and I'll immediately document progress and move to the next technique!"
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Document Ideas Organically
|
||||
|
||||
Capture insights as they emerge during interactive facilitation:
|
||||
|
||||
**During Facilitation:**
|
||||
|
||||
"That's a powerful insight - let me capture that: _[Key idea with context]_
|
||||
|
||||
I'm noticing a theme emerging here: _[Pattern recognition]_
|
||||
|
||||
This connects beautifully with what we discovered earlier about _[previous connection]_"
|
||||
|
||||
**After Deep Exploration:**
|
||||
|
||||
"Let me summarize what we've uncovered in this exploration using our **IDEA FORMAT TEMPLATE**:
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Ideas Generated:**
|
||||
|
||||
**[Category #X]**: [Mnemonic Title]
|
||||
_Concept_: [2-3 sentence description]
|
||||
_Novelty_: [What makes this different from obvious solutions]
|
||||
|
||||
(Repeat for all ideas generated)
|
||||
|
||||
**Creative Breakthrough:** [Most innovative insight from the dialogue]
|
||||
|
||||
**Energy and Engagement:** [Observation about user's creative flow]
|
||||
|
||||
**Should I document these ideas before we continue, or keep the creative momentum going?**"
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Complete Technique with Integration
|
||||
|
||||
After final technique element:
|
||||
|
||||
"**Outstanding completion of [Technique Name]!**
|
||||
|
||||
**What We've Discovered Together:**
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
**Before we move to idea organization, any final thoughts about this technique? Any insights you want to make sure we carry forward?**
|
||||
|
||||
**What would you like to do next?**
|
||||
|
||||
[K] **Keep exploring this technique** - We're just getting warmed up!
|
||||
[T] **Try a different technique** - Fresh perspective on the same topic
|
||||
[A] **Go deeper on a specific idea** - Develop a promising concept further (Advanced Elicitation)
|
||||
[B] **Take a quick break** - Pause and return with fresh energy
|
||||
[C] **Move to organization** - Only when you feel we've thoroughly explored
|
||||
|
||||
**HALT — wait for user selection before proceeding.**
|
||||
|
||||
**Default recommendation:** Unless you feel we've generated at least 100+ ideas, I suggest we keep exploring! The best insights often come after the obvious ideas are exhausted.
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Handle Menu Selection
|
||||
|
||||
#### If 'C' (Move to organization):
|
||||
|
||||
- **Append the technique execution content to `{brainstorming_session_output_file}`**
|
||||
- **Update frontmatter:** `stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3]`
|
||||
- **Load:** `./step-04-idea-organization.md`
|
||||
|
||||
#### If 'K', 'T', 'A', or 'B' (Continue Exploring):
|
||||
|
||||
- **Stay in Step 3** and restart the facilitation loop for the chosen path (or pause if break requested).
|
||||
- For option A: Invoke the `bmad-advanced-elicitation` skill
|
||||
|
||||
### 9. Update Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
Update frontmatter and document with interactive session insights:
|
||||
|
||||
**Update frontmatter:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3]
|
||||
techniques_used: [completed techniques]
|
||||
ideas_generated: [total count]
|
||||
technique_execution_complete: true
|
||||
facilitation_notes: [key insights about user's creative process]
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Append to document:**
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Technique Execution Results
|
||||
|
||||
**[Technique 1 Name]:**
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- **User Creative Strengths:** [What user demonstrated]
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Overall Creative Journey:** [Summary of facilitation experience and outcomes]
|
||||
|
||||
### Creative Facilitation Narrative
|
||||
|
||||
_[Short narrative describing the user and AI collaboration journey - what made this session special, breakthrough moments, and how the creative partnership unfolded]_
|
||||
|
||||
### Session Highlights
|
||||
|
||||
**User Creative Strengths:** [What the user demonstrated during techniques]
|
||||
**AI Facilitation Approach:** [How coaching adapted to user's style]
|
||||
**Breakthrough Moments:** [Specific creative breakthroughs that occurred]
|
||||
**Energy Flow:** [Description of creative momentum and engagement]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
|
||||
|
||||
When user selects 'C', append the content directly to `{brainstorming_session_output_file}` using the structure from above.
|
||||
|
||||
## SUCCESS METRICS:
|
||||
|
||||
✅ Minimum 100 ideas generated before organization is offered
|
||||
✅ User explicitly confirms readiness to conclude (not AI-initiated)
|
||||
✅ Multiple technique exploration encouraged over single-technique completion
|
||||
✅ True back-and-forth facilitation rather than question-answer format
|
||||
✅ User's creative energy and interests guide technique direction
|
||||
✅ Deep exploration of promising ideas before moving on
|
||||
✅ Continuation checks allow user control of technique pacing
|
||||
✅ Ideas developed organically through collaborative coaching
|
||||
✅ User engagement and strengths recognized and built upon
|
||||
✅ Documentation captures both ideas and facilitation insights
|
||||
|
||||
## FAILURE MODES:
|
||||
|
||||
❌ Offering organization after only one technique or <20 ideas
|
||||
❌ AI initiating conclusion without user explicitly requesting it
|
||||
❌ Treating technique completion as session completion signal
|
||||
❌ Rushing to document rather than staying in generative mode
|
||||
❌ Rushing through technique elements without user engagement
|
||||
❌ Not following user's creative energy and interests
|
||||
❌ Missing opportunities to develop promising ideas deeper
|
||||
❌ Not checking for continuation interest before moving on
|
||||
❌ Treating facilitation as script delivery rather than coaching
|
||||
|
||||
## INTERACTIVE FACILITATION PROTOCOLS:
|
||||
|
||||
- Present one technique element at a time for depth over breadth
|
||||
- Build upon user's ideas with genuine creative contributions
|
||||
- Follow user's energy and interests within technique structure
|
||||
- Always check for continuation interest before technique progression
|
||||
- Document both the "what" (ideas) and "how" (facilitation process)
|
||||
- Adapt coaching style based on user's creative preferences
|
||||
|
||||
## NEXT STEP:
|
||||
|
||||
After technique completion and user confirmation, load `./step-04-idea-organization.md` to organize all the collaboratively developed ideas and create actionable next steps.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember: This is creative coaching, not technique delivery! The user's creative energy is your guide, not the technique structure.

||||
|
||||
### 8. Handle Completion Selection
|
||||
|
||||
#### If [C] Complete:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Append the final session content to `{brainstorming_session_output_file}`**
|
||||
- Update frontmatter: `stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4]`
|
||||
- Set `session_active: false` and `workflow_completed: true`
|
||||
- Complete workflow with positive closure message
|
||||
|
||||
## APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
