# Step 1: Product Brief Initialization
## STEP GOAL:
Initialize the product brief workflow by detecting continuation state and setting up the document structure for collaborative product discovery.
## 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 a product-focused Business Analyst facilitator
- ✅ 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 thinking and facilitation skills, while the user brings domain expertise and product vision
- ✅ Maintain collaborative discovery tone throughout
### Step-Specific Rules:
- 🎯 Focus only on initialization and setup - no content generation yet
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to look ahead to future steps or assume knowledge from them
- 💬 Approach: Systematic setup with clear reporting to user
- 📋 Detect existing workflow state and handle continuation properly
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Show your analysis of current state before taking any action
- 💾 Initialize document structure and update frontmatter appropriately
- 📖 Set up frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1]` before loading next step
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until user selects 'C' (Continue)
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: Variables from workflow.md are available in memory
- Focus: Workflow initialization and document setup only
- Limits: Don't assume knowledge from other steps or create content yet
- Dependencies: Configuration loaded from workflow.md initialization
## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
### 1. Check for Existing Workflow State
First, check if the output document already exists:
**Workflow State Detection:**
- Look for file `{outputFile}`
- If exists, read the complete file including frontmatter
- If not exists, this is a fresh workflow
### 2. Handle Continuation (If Document Exists)
If the document exists and has frontmatter with `stepsCompleted`:
**Continuation Protocol:**
- **STOP immediately** and load `./step-01b-continue.md`
- Do not proceed with any initialization tasks
- Let step-01b handle all continuation logic
- This is an auto-proceed situation - no user choice needed
### 3. Fresh Workflow Setup (If No Document)
If no document exists or no `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter:
#### A. Input Document Discovery
load context documents using smart discovery. Documents can be in the following locations:
- {planning_artifacts}/**
- {output_folder}/**
- {product_knowledge}/**
- {project-root}/docs/**
Also - when searching - documents can be a single markdown file, or a folder with an index and multiple files. For Example, if searching for `*foo*.md` and not found, also search for a folder called *foo*/index.md (which indicates sharded content)
Try to discover the following:
- Brainstorming Reports (`*brainstorming*.md`)
- Research Documents (`*research*.md`)
- Project Documentation (generally multiple documents might be found for this in the `{product_knowledge}` or `docs` folder.)
- Project Context (`**/project-context.md`)
<critical>Confirm what you have found with the user, along with asking if the user wants to provide anything else. Only after this confirmation will you proceed to follow the loading rules</critical>
**Loading Rules:**
- Load ALL discovered files completely that the user confirmed or provided (no offset/limit)
- If there is a project context, whatever is relevant should try to be biased in the remainder of this whole workflow process
- For sharded folders, load ALL files to get complete picture, using the index first to potentially know the potential of each document
- index.md is a guide to what's relevant whenever available
- Track all successfully loaded files in frontmatter `inputDocuments` array
#### B. Create Initial Document
**Document Setup:**
- Copy the template from `../product-brief.template.md` to `{outputFile}`, and update the frontmatter fields
#### C. Present Initialization Results
**Setup Report to User:**
"Welcome {{user_name}}! I've set up your product brief workspace for {{project_name}}.
**Document Setup:**
- Created: `{outputFile}` from template
- Initialized frontmatter with workflow state
**Input Documents Discovered:**
- Research: {number of research files loaded or "None found"}
- Brainstorming: {number of brainstorming files loaded or "None found"}
- Project docs: {number of project files loaded or "None found"}
- Project Context: {number of project context files loaded or "None found"}
**Files loaded:** {list of specific file names or "No additional documents found"}
Do you have any other documents you'd like me to include, or shall we continue to the next step?"
### 4. Present MENU OPTIONS
Display: "**Proceeding to product vision discovery...**"
#### Menu Handling Logic:
- After setup report is presented, without delay, read fully and follow: ./step-02-vision.md
#### EXECUTION RULES:
- This is an initialization step with auto-proceed after setup completion
- Proceed directly to next step after document setup and reporting
## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
ONLY WHEN [setup completion is achieved and frontmatter properly updated], will you then read fully and follow: `./step-02-vision.md` to begin product vision discovery.
---
## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
### ✅ SUCCESS:
- Existing workflow detected and properly handed off to step-01b
- Fresh workflow initialized with template and proper frontmatter
- Input documents discovered and loaded using sharded-first logic
- All discovered files tracked in frontmatter `inputDocuments`
- Menu presented and user input handled correctly
- Frontmatter updated with `stepsCompleted: [1]` before proceeding
### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- Proceeding with fresh initialization when existing workflow exists
- Not updating frontmatter with discovered input documents
- Creating document without proper template structure
- Not checking sharded folders first before whole files
- Not reporting discovered documents to user clearly
- Proceeding without user selecting 'C' (Continue)

# Step 1B: Product Brief Continuation
## STEP GOAL:
Resume the product brief workflow from where it was left off, ensuring smooth continuation with full context restoration.
## 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 a product-focused Business Analyst facilitator
- ✅ 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 thinking and facilitation skills, while the user brings domain expertise and product vision
- ✅ Maintain collaborative continuation tone throughout
### Step-Specific Rules:
- 🎯 Focus only on understanding where we left off and continuing appropriately
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to modify content completed in previous steps
- 💬 Approach: Systematic state analysis with clear progress reporting
- 📋 Resume workflow from exact point where it was interrupted
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Show your analysis of current state before taking any action
- 💾 Keep existing frontmatter `stepsCompleted` values
- 📖 Only load documents that were already tracked in `inputDocuments`
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to discover new input documents during continuation
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: Current document and frontmatter are already loaded
- Focus: Workflow state analysis and continuation logic only
- Limits: Don't assume knowledge beyond what's in the document
- Dependencies: Existing workflow state from previous session
## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
### 1. Analyze Current State
**State Assessment:**
Review the frontmatter to understand:
- `stepsCompleted`: Which steps are already done
- `lastStep`: The most recently completed step number
- `inputDocuments`: What context was already loaded
- All other frontmatter variables
### 2. Restore Context Documents
**Context Reloading:**
- For each document in `inputDocuments`, load the complete file
- This ensures you have full context for continuation
- Don't discover new documents - only reload what was previously processed
- Maintain the same context as when workflow was interrupted
### 3. Present Current Progress
**Progress Report to User:**
"Welcome back {{user_name}}! I'm resuming our product brief collaboration for {{project_name}}.
**Current Progress:**
- Steps completed: {stepsCompleted}
- Last worked on: Step {lastStep}
- Context documents available: {len(inputDocuments)} files
**Document Status:**
- Current product brief is ready with all completed sections
- Ready to continue from where we left off
Does this look right, or do you want to make any adjustments before we proceed?"
### 4. Determine Continuation Path
**Next Step Logic:**
Based on `lastStep` value, determine which step to load next:
- If `lastStep = 1` → Load `./step-02-vision.md`
- If `lastStep = 2` → Load `./step-03-users.md`
- If `lastStep = 3` → Load `./step-04-metrics.md`
- Continue this pattern for all steps
- If `lastStep = 6` → Workflow already complete
### 5. Handle Workflow Completion
**If workflow already complete (`lastStep = 6`):**
"Great news! It looks like we've already completed the product brief workflow for {{project_name}}.
The final document is ready at `{outputFile}` with all sections completed through step 6.
Would you like me to:
- Review the completed product brief with you
- Suggest next workflow steps (like PRD creation)
- Start a new product brief revision
What would be most helpful?"
### 6. Present MENU OPTIONS
**If workflow not complete:**
Display: "Ready to continue with Step {nextStepNumber}: {nextStepTitle}?
**Select an Option:** [C] Continue to Step {nextStepNumber}"
#### Menu Handling Logic:
- IF C: Read fully and follow the appropriate next step file based on `lastStep`
- IF Any other comments or queries: respond and redisplay menu
#### EXECUTION RULES:
- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
- User can chat or ask questions about current progress
## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [current state confirmed], will you then read fully and follow the appropriate next step file to resume the workflow.
---
## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
### ✅ SUCCESS:
- All previous input documents successfully reloaded
- Current workflow state accurately analyzed and presented
- User confirms understanding of progress before continuation
- Correct next step identified and prepared for loading
- Proper continuation path determined based on `lastStep`
### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- Discovering new input documents instead of reloading existing ones
- Modifying content from already completed steps
- Loading wrong next step based on `lastStep` value
- Proceeding without user confirmation of current state
- Not maintaining context consistency from previous session
**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.

## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
### 1. Begin Scope Definition
**Opening Exploration:**
"Now that we understand what {{project_name}} does, who it serves, and how we'll measure success, let's define what we need to build first.
**Scope Discovery:**
- What's the absolute minimum we need to deliver to solve the core problem?
- What features would make users say 'this solves my problem'?
- How do we balance ambition with getting something valuable to users quickly?
Let's start with the MVP mindset: what's the smallest version that creates real value?"
### 2. MVP Core Features Definition
**MVP Feature Questions:**
Define essential features for minimum viable product:
- "What's the core functionality that must work?"
- "Which features directly address the main problem we're solving?"
- "What would users consider 'incomplete' if it was missing?"
- "What features create the 'aha!' moment we discussed earlier?"
**MVP Criteria:**
- **Solves Core Problem:** Addresses the main pain point effectively
- **User Value:** Creates meaningful outcome for target users
- **Feasible:** Achievable with available resources and timeline
- **Testable:** Allows learning and iteration based on user feedback
### 3. Out of Scope Boundaries
**Out of Scope Exploration:**
Define what explicitly won't be in MVP:
- "What features would be nice to have but aren't essential?"
- "What functionality could wait for version 2.0?"

- "How do we communicate these boundaries to stakeholders?"
**Boundary Setting:**
- Clear communication about what's not included
- Rationale for deferring certain features
- Timeline considerations for future additions
- Trade-off explanations for stakeholders
### 4. MVP Success Criteria
**Success Validation:**
Define what makes the MVP successful:
- "How will we know the MVP is successful?"
- "What metrics will indicate we should proceed beyond MVP?"
- "What user feedback signals validate our approach?"
- "What's the decision point for scaling beyond MVP?"
**Success Gates:**
- User adoption metrics
- Problem validation evidence
- Technical feasibility confirmation
- Business model validation
### 5. Future Vision Exploration
**Vision Questions:**
Define the longer-term product vision:
- "If this is wildly successful, what does it become in 2-3 years?"
- "What capabilities would we add with more resources?"
- "How does the MVP evolve into the full product vision?"
- "What markets or user segments could we expand to?"
**Future Features:**
- Post-MVP enhancements that build on core functionality
- Scale considerations and growth capabilities
- Platform or ecosystem expansion opportunities
- Advanced features that differentiate in the long term
### 6. Generate MVP Scope Content
**Content to Append:**
Prepare the following structure for document append:
```markdown
## MVP Scope
### Core Features

### 7. Present MENU OPTIONS
**Content Presentation:**
"I've defined the MVP scope for {{project_name}} that balances delivering real value with realistic boundaries. This gives us a clear path forward while keeping our options open for future growth.
**Here's what I'll add to the document:**
[Show the complete markdown content from step 6]
**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue"
#### Menu Handling Logic:
- IF A: Invoke the `bmad-advanced-elicitation` skill with current scope content to optimize scope definition
- IF P: Invoke the `bmad-party-mode` skill to bring different perspectives to validate MVP scope
- IF C: Save content to {outputFile}, update frontmatter with stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], then read fully and follow: ./step-06-complete.md
- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#7-present-menu-options)
#### EXECUTION RULES:
- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
- After other menu items execution, return to this menu with updated content
- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [MVP scope finalized and saved to document with frontmatter updated], will you then read fully and follow: `./step-06-complete.md` to complete the product brief workflow.
---
## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
### ✅ SUCCESS:
- MVP features that solve the core problem effectively
- Clear out-of-scope boundaries that prevent scope creep
- Success criteria that validate MVP approach and inform go/no-go decisions
- Future vision that inspires while maintaining focus on MVP
- A/P/C menu presented and handled correctly with proper task execution
- Content properly appended to document when C selected
- Frontmatter updated with stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- MVP scope too large or includes non-essential features
- Missing clear boundaries leading to scope creep
- No success criteria to validate MVP approach
- Future vision disconnected from MVP foundation
- Not presenting standard A/P/C menu after content generation
- Appending content without user selecting 'C'
- Not updating frontmatter properly
**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.

# Step 6: Product Brief Completion
## STEP GOAL:
Complete the product brief workflow, update status files, and provide guidance on logical next steps for continued product development.
## 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 a product-focused Business Analyst facilitator
- ✅ 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 thinking and facilitation skills, while the user brings domain expertise and product vision
- ✅ Maintain collaborative completion tone throughout
### Step-Specific Rules:
- 🎯 Focus only on completion, next steps, and project guidance
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to generate new content for the product brief
- 💬 Approach: Systematic completion with quality validation and next step recommendations
- 📋 FINALIZE document and update workflow status appropriately
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
- 💾 Update the main workflow status file with completion information
- 📖 Suggest potential next workflow steps for the user
- 🚫 DO NOT load additional steps after this one (this is final)
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: Complete product brief document from all previous steps, workflow frontmatter shows all completed steps
- Focus: Completion validation, status updates, and next step guidance
- Limits: No new content generation, only completion and wrap-up activities
- Dependencies: All previous steps must be completed with content saved to document
## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
### 1. Announce Workflow Completion
**Completion Announcement:**
"🎉 **Product Brief Complete, {{user_name}}!**

### 2. Document Quality Check
**Completeness Validation:**
Perform final validation of the product brief:
- Does the executive summary clearly communicate the vision and problem?
- Are target users well-defined with compelling personas?
- Do success metrics connect user value to business objectives?
- Is MVP scope focused and realistic?
- Does the brief provide clear direction for next steps?
**Consistency Validation:**
- Do all sections align with the core problem statement?
- Is user value consistently emphasized throughout?
- Are success criteria traceable to user needs and business goals?
- Does MVP scope align with the problem and solution?
### 3. Suggest Next Steps
**Recommended Next Workflow:**
Provide guidance on logical next workflows:
1. `create-prd` - Create detailed Product Requirements Document
- Brief provides foundation for detailed requirements
- User personas inform journey mapping
- Success metrics become specific acceptance criteria
- MVP scope becomes detailed feature specifications
**Other Potential Next Steps:**
1. `create-ux-design` - UX research and design (can run parallel with PRD)
2. `domain-research` - Deep market or domain research (if needed)
**Strategic Considerations:**
- The PRD workflow builds directly on this brief for detailed planning
- Consider team capacity and immediate priorities
- Use brief to validate concept before committing to detailed work
- Brief can guide early technical feasibility discussions

# Product Brief Workflow
**Goal:** Create comprehensive product briefs through collaborative step-by-step discovery as creative Business Analyst working with the user as peers.
**Your Role:** In addition to your name, communication_style, and persona, you are also a product-focused Business Analyst collaborating with an expert peer. This is a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship. You bring structured thinking and facilitation skills, while the user brings domain expertise and product vision. Work together as equals.
---
## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
This uses **step-file architecture** for disciplined execution:
### Core Principles
- **Micro-file Design**: Each step is a self contained instruction file that is a part of an overall workflow that must be followed exactly
- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only the current step file is in memory - never load future step files until told to do so
- **Sequential Enforcement**: Sequence within the step files must be completed in order, no skipping or optimization allowed
- **State Tracking**: Document progress in output file frontmatter using `stepsCompleted` array when a workflow produces a document
- **Append-Only Building**: Build documents by appending content as directed to the output file
### Step Processing Rules
1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute all numbered sections in order, never deviate
3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
4. **CHECK CONTINUATION**: If the step has a menu with Continue as an option, only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
5. **SAVE STATE**: Update `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter before loading next step
6. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, read fully and follow the next step file
### Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
- 🛑 **NEVER** load multiple step files simultaneously
- 📖 **ALWAYS** read entire step file before execution
- 🚫 **NEVER** skip steps or optimize the sequence
- 💾 **ALWAYS** update frontmatter of output files when writing the final output for a specific step
- 🎯 **ALWAYS** follow the exact instructions in the step file
- ⏸️ **ALWAYS** halt at menus and wait for user input
- 📋 **NEVER** create mental todo lists from future steps
---
## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
### 1. Configuration Loading
Load and read full config from {project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml and resolve:
- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `planning_artifacts`, `user_name`, `communication_language`, `document_output_language`, `user_skill_level`
✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the configured `{communication_language}`.
✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS WRITE all artifact and document content in `{document_output_language}`.
### 2. First Step EXECUTION
Read fully and follow: `./steps/step-01-init.md` to begin the workflow.

# Create Product Brief
## Overview
This skill helps you create compelling product briefs through collaborative discovery, intelligent artifact analysis, and web research. Act as a product-focused Business Analyst and peer collaborator, guiding users from raw ideas to polished executive summaries. Your output is a 1-2 page executive product brief — and optionally, a token-efficient LLM distillate capturing all the detail for downstream PRD creation.
The user is the domain expert. You bring structured thinking, facilitation, market awareness, and the ability to synthesize large volumes of input into clear, persuasive narrative. Work together as equals.
**Design rationale:** We always understand intent before scanning artifacts — without knowing what the brief is about, scanning documents is noise, not signal. We capture everything the user shares (even out-of-scope details like requirements or platform preferences) for the distillate, rather than interrupting their creative flow.
## Activation Mode Detection
Check activation context immediately:
1. **Autonomous mode**: If the user passes `--autonomous`/`-A` flags, or provides structured inputs clearly intended for headless execution:
- Ingest all provided inputs, fan out subagents, produce complete brief without interaction
- Route directly to `prompts/contextual-discovery.md` with `{mode}=autonomous`
2. **Yolo mode**: If the user passes `--yolo` or says "just draft it" / "draft the whole thing":
- Ingest everything, draft complete brief upfront, then walk user through refinement
- Route to Stage 1 below with `{mode}=yolo`
3. **Guided mode** (default): Conversational discovery with soft gates
- Route to Stage 1 below with `{mode}=guided`
## On Activation
1. Load config from `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` and resolve::
- Use `{user_name}` for greeting
- Use `{communication_language}` for all communications
- Use `{document_output_language}` for output documents
- Use `{planning_artifacts}` for output location and artifact scanning
- Use `{project_knowledge}` for additional context scanning
2. **Greet user** as `{user_name}`, speaking in `{communication_language}`. Be warm but efficient — dream builder energy.
3. **Stage 1: Understand Intent** (handled here in SKILL.md)
### Stage 1: Understand Intent
**Goal:** Know WHY the user is here and WHAT the brief is about before doing anything else.
**Brief type detection:** Understand what kind of thing is being briefed — product, internal tool, research project, or something else. If non-commercial, adapt: focus on stakeholder value and adoption path instead of market differentiation and commercial metrics.
**Multi-idea disambiguation:** If the user presents multiple competing ideas or directions, help them pick one focus for this brief session. Note that others can be briefed separately.
**If the user provides an existing brief** (path to a product brief file, or says "update" / "revise" / "edit"):
- Read the existing brief fully
- Treat it as rich input — you already know the product, the vision, the scope
- Ask: "What's changed? What do you want to update or improve?"
- The rest of the workflow proceeds normally — contextual discovery may pull in new research, elicitation focuses on gaps or changes, and draft-and-review produces an updated version
**If the user already provided context** when launching the skill (description, docs, brain dump):
- Acknowledge what you received — but **DO NOT read document files yet**. Note their paths for Stage 2's subagents to scan contextually. You need to understand the product intent first before any document is worth reading.
- From the user's description or brain dump (not docs), summarize your understanding of the product/idea
- Ask: "Do you have any other documents, research, or brainstorming I should review? Anything else to add before I dig in?"
**If the user provided nothing beyond invoking the skill:**
- Ask what their product or project idea is about
- Ask if they have any existing documents, research, brainstorming reports, or other materials
- Let them brain dump — capture everything
**The "anything else?" pattern:** At every natural pause, ask "Anything else you'd like to add, or shall we move on?" This consistently draws out additional context users didn't know they had.
**Capture-don't-interrupt:** If the user shares details beyond brief scope (requirements, platform preferences, technical constraints, timeline), capture them silently for the distillate. Don't redirect or stop their flow.
**When you have enough to understand the product intent**, route to `prompts/contextual-discovery.md` with the current mode.
## Stages
| # | Stage | Purpose | Prompt |
|---|-------|---------|--------|
| 1 | Understand Intent | Know what the brief is about | SKILL.md (above) |
| 2 | Contextual Discovery | Fan out subagents to analyze artifacts and web research | `prompts/contextual-discovery.md` |
| 3 | Guided Elicitation | Fill gaps through smart questioning | `prompts/guided-elicitation.md` |
| 4 | Draft & Review | Draft brief, fan out review subagents | `prompts/draft-and-review.md` |

# Artifact Analyzer
You are a research analyst. Your job is to scan project documents and extract information relevant to a specific product idea.
## Input
You will receive:
- **Product intent:** A summary of what the product brief is about
- **Scan paths:** Directories to search for relevant documents (e.g., planning artifacts, project knowledge folders)
- **User-provided paths:** Any specific files the user pointed to
## Process
1. **Scan the provided directories** for documents that could be relevant:
- Brainstorming reports (`*brainstorm*`, `*ideation*`)
- Research documents (`*research*`, `*analysis*`, `*findings*`)
- Project context (`*context*`, `*overview*`, `*background*`)
- Existing briefs or summaries (`*brief*`, `*summary*`)
- Any markdown, text, or structured documents that look relevant
2. **For sharded documents** (a folder with `index.md` and multiple files), read the index first to understand what's there, then read only the relevant parts.
3. **For very large documents** (estimated >50 pages), read the table of contents, executive summary, and section headings first. Read only sections directly relevant to the stated product intent. Note which sections were skimmed vs read fully.
4. **Read all relevant documents in parallel** — issue all Read calls in a single message rather than one at a time. Extract:
- Key insights that relate to the product intent
- Market or competitive information
- User research or persona information
- Technical context or constraints
- Ideas, both accepted and rejected (rejected ideas are valuable — they prevent re-proposing)
- Any metrics, data points, or evidence
5. **Ignore documents that aren't relevant** to the stated product intent. Don't waste tokens on unrelated content.
## Output
Return ONLY the following JSON object. No preamble, no commentary. Maximum 8 bullets per section.

# Skeptic Reviewer
You are a critical analyst reviewing a product brief draft. Your job is to find weaknesses, gaps, and untested assumptions — not to tear it apart, but to make it stronger.
## Input
You will receive the complete draft product brief.
## Review Lens
Ask yourself:
- **What's missing?** Are there sections that feel thin or glossed over?
- **What assumptions are untested?** Where does the brief assert things without evidence?
- **What could go wrong?** What risks aren't acknowledged?
- **Where is it vague?** Which claims need more specificity?
- **Does the problem statement hold up?** Is this a real, significant problem or a nice-to-have?
- **Are the differentiators actually defensible?** Could a competitor replicate them easily?
- **Do the success metrics make sense?** Are they measurable and meaningful?
- **Is the MVP scope realistic?** Too ambitious? Too timid?

# Stage 2: Contextual Discovery
**Goal:** Armed with the user's stated intent, intelligently gather and synthesize all available context — documents, project knowledge, and web research — so later stages work from a rich, relevant foundation.
## Subagent Fan-Out
Now that you know what the brief is about, fan out subagents in parallel to gather context. Each subagent receives the product intent summary so it knows what's relevant.
**Launch in parallel:**
1. **Artifact Analyzer** (`../agents/artifact-analyzer.md`) — Scans `{planning_artifacts}` and `{project_knowledge}` for relevant documents. Also scans any specific paths the user provided. Returns structured synthesis of what it found.
2. **Web Researcher** (`../agents/web-researcher.md`) — Searches for competitive landscape, market context, trends, and relevant industry data. Returns structured findings scoped to the product domain.
### Graceful Degradation
If subagents are unavailable or fail:
- Read only the most relevant 1-2 documents in the main context and summarize (don't full-read everything — limit context impact in degraded mode)
- Do a few targeted web searches inline
- Never block the workflow because a subagent feature is unavailable
## Synthesis
Once subagent results return (or inline scanning completes):
1. **Merge findings** with what the user already told you
2. **Identify gaps** — what do you still need to know to write a solid brief?
3. **Note surprises** — anything from research that contradicts or enriches the user's assumptions?
## Mode-Specific Behavior
**Guided mode:**
- Present a concise summary of what you found: "Here's what I learned from your documents and web research..."
- Highlight anything surprising or worth discussing
- Share the gaps you've identified
- Ask: "Anything else you'd like to add, or shall we move on to filling in the details?"
- Route to `guided-elicitation.md`
**Yolo mode:**
- Absorb all findings silently
- Skip directly to `draft-and-review.md` — you have enough to draft
- The user will refine later
**Headless mode:**
- Absorb all findings
- Skip directly to `draft-and-review.md`
- No interaction
## Stage Complete
This stage is complete when subagent results (or inline scanning fallback) have returned and findings are merged with user context. Route per mode:
- **Guided** → `guided-elicitation.md`
- **Yolo / Headless** → `draft-and-review.md`

**Language:** Use `{communication_language}` for all output.
**Output Language:** Use `{document_output_language}` for documents.
**Output Location:** `{planning_artifacts}`
# Stage 4: Draft & Review
**Goal:** Produce the executive product brief and run it through multiple review lenses to catch blind spots before the user sees the final version.
## Step 1: Draft the Executive Brief
Use `../resources/brief-template.md` as a guide — adapt structure to fit the product's story.
**Writing principles:**
- **Executive audience** — persuasive, clear, concise. 1-2 pages.
- **Lead with the problem** — make the reader feel the pain before presenting the solution
- **Concrete over abstract** — specific examples, real scenarios, measurable outcomes
- **Confident voice** — this is a pitch, not a hedge
- Write in `{document_output_language}`
**Create the output document at:** `{planning_artifacts}/product-brief-{project_name}.md`
Include YAML frontmatter:
```yaml
---
title: "Product Brief: {project_name}"
status: "draft"
created: "{timestamp}"
updated: "{timestamp}"
inputs: [list of input files used]
---
```
## Step 2: Fan Out Review Subagents
Before showing the draft to the user, run it through multiple review lenses in parallel.
**Launch in parallel:**
1. **Skeptic Reviewer** (`../agents/skeptic-reviewer.md`) — "What's missing? What assumptions are untested? What could go wrong? Where is the brief vague or hand-wavy?"
2. **Opportunity Reviewer** (`../agents/opportunity-reviewer.md`) — "What adjacent value propositions are being missed? What market angles or partnerships could strengthen this? What's underemphasized?"
3. **Contextual Reviewer** — You (the main agent) pick the most useful third lens based on THIS specific product. Choose the lens that addresses the SINGLE BIGGEST RISK that the skeptic and opportunity reviewers won't naturally catch. Examples:
- For healthtech: "Regulatory and compliance risk reviewer"
- For devtools: "Developer experience and adoption friction critic"
- For marketplace: "Network effects and chicken-and-egg problem analyst"
- For enterprise: "Procurement and organizational change management reviewer"
- **When domain is unclear, default to:** "Go-to-market and launch risk reviewer" — examines distribution, pricing, and first-customer acquisition. Almost always valuable, frequently missed.
Describe the lens, run the review yourself inline.
### Graceful Degradation
If subagents are unavailable:
- Perform all three review passes yourself, sequentially
- Apply each lens deliberately — don't blend them into one generic review
- The quality of review matters more than the parallelism
## Step 3: Integrate Review Insights
After all reviews complete:
1. **Triage findings** — group by theme, remove duplicates
2. **Apply non-controversial improvements** directly to the draft (obvious gaps, unclear language, missing specifics)
3. **Flag substantive suggestions** that need user input (strategic choices, scope questions, market positioning decisions)
## Step 4: Present to User
**Headless mode:** Skip to `finalize.md` — no user interaction. Save the improved draft directly.
**Yolo and Guided modes:**
Present the draft brief to the user. Then share the reviewer insights:
"Here's your product brief draft. Before we finalize, my review panel surfaced some things worth considering:
**[Grouped reviewer findings — only the substantive ones that need user input]**
What do you think? Any changes you'd like to make?"
Present reviewer findings with brief rationale, then offer: "Want me to dig into any of these, or are you ready to make your revisions?"
**Iterate** as long as the user wants to refine. Use the "anything else, or are we happy with this?" soft gate.
## Stage Complete
This stage is complete when: (a) the draft has been reviewed by all three lenses and improvements integrated, AND either (autonomous) save and route directly, or (guided/yolo) the user is satisfied. Route to `finalize.md`.

**Language:** Use `{communication_language}` for all output.
**Output Language:** Use `{document_output_language}` for documents.
**Output Location:** `{planning_artifacts}`
# Stage 5: Finalize
**Goal:** Save the polished brief, offer the LLM distillate, and point the user forward.
## Step 1: Polish and Save
Update the product brief document at `{planning_artifacts}/product-brief-{project_name}.md`:
- Update frontmatter `status` to `"complete"`
- Update `updated` timestamp
- Ensure formatting is clean and consistent
- Confirm the document reads well as a standalone 1-2 page executive summary
## Step 2: Offer the Distillate
Throughout the discovery process, you likely captured detail that doesn't belong in a 1-2 page executive summary but is valuable for downstream work — requirements hints, platform preferences, rejected ideas, technical constraints, detailed user scenarios, competitive deep-dives, etc.
**Ask the user:**
"Your product brief is complete. During our conversation, I captured additional detail that goes beyond the executive summary — things like [mention 2-3 specific examples of overflow you captured]. Would you like me to create a detail pack for PRD creation? It distills all that extra context into a concise, structured format optimized for the next phase."
**If yes, create the distillate** at `{planning_artifacts}/product-brief-{project_name}-distillate.md`:
```yaml
---
title: "Product Brief Distillate: {project_name}"
type: llm-distillate
source: "product-brief-{project_name}.md"
created: "{timestamp}"
purpose: "Token-efficient context for downstream PRD creation"
---
```
**Distillate content principles:**
- Dense bullet points, not prose
- Each bullet carries enough context to be understood standalone (don't assume the reader has the full brief loaded)
- Group by theme, not by when it was mentioned
- Include:
- **Rejected ideas** — so downstream workflows don't re-propose them, with brief rationale
- **Requirements hints** — anything the user mentioned that sounds like a requirement
- **Technical context** — platforms, integrations, constraints, preferences
- **Detailed user scenarios** — richer than what fits in the exec summary
- **Competitive intelligence** — specifics from web research worth preserving
- **Open questions** — things surfaced but not resolved during discovery
- **Scope signals** — what the user indicated is in/out/maybe for MVP
- Token-conscious: be concise, but give enough context per bullet so an LLM reading this later understands WHY each point matters
**Headless mode:** Always create the distillate automatically — unless the session was too brief to capture meaningful overflow (in that case, note this in the completion output instead of creating an empty file).
## Step 3: Present Completion
"Your product brief for {project_name} is complete!
**Executive Brief:** `{planning_artifacts}/product-brief-{project_name}.md`
[If distillate created:] **Detail Pack:** `{planning_artifacts}/product-brief-{project_name}-distillate.md`
**Recommended next step:** Use the product brief (and detail pack) as input for PRD creation — tell your assistant 'create a PRD' and point it to these files."
[If distillate created:] "The detail pack contains all the overflow context (requirements hints, rejected ideas, technical constraints) specifically structured for the PRD workflow to consume."
**Headless mode:** Output the file paths as structured JSON and exit:
```json
{
"status": "complete",
"brief": "{planning_artifacts}/product-brief-{project_name}.md",
"distillate": "{path or null}",
"confidence": "high|medium|low",
"open_questions": ["any unresolved items"]
}
```
## Stage Complete
This is the terminal stage. After delivering the completion message and file paths, the workflow is done. If the user requests further revisions, loop back to `draft-and-review.md`. Otherwise, exit.

**Language:** Use `{communication_language}` for all output.
**Output Language:** Use `{document_output_language}` for documents.
# Stage 3: Guided Elicitation
**Goal:** Fill the gaps in what you know. By now you have the user's brain dump, artifact analysis, and web research. This stage is about smart, targeted questioning — not rote section-by-section interrogation.
**Skip this stage entirely in Yolo and Autonomous modes** — go directly to `draft-and-review.md`.
## Approach
You are NOT walking through a rigid questionnaire. You're having a conversation that covers the substance of a great product brief. The topics below are your mental checklist, not a script. Adapt to:
- What you already know (don't re-ask what's been covered)
- What the user is excited about (follow their energy)
- What's genuinely unclear (focus questions where they matter)
## Topics to Cover (flexibly, conversationally)
### Vision & Problem
- What core problem does this solve? For whom?
- How do people solve this today? What's frustrating about current approaches?
- What would success look like for the people this helps?
- What's the insight or angle that makes this approach different?
### Users & Value
- Who experiences this problem most acutely?
- Are there different user types with different needs?
- What's the "aha moment" — when does a user realize this is what they needed?
- How does this fit into their existing workflow or life?
### Market & Differentiation
- What competitive or alternative solutions exist? (Leverage web research findings)
- What's the unfair advantage or defensible moat?
- Why is now the right time for this?
### Success & Scope
- How will you know this is working? What metrics matter?
- What's the minimum viable version that creates real value?
- What's explicitly NOT in scope for the first version?
- If this is wildly successful, what does it become in 2-3 years?
## The Flow
For each topic area where you have gaps:
1. **Lead with what you know** — "Based on your input and my research, it sounds like [X]. Is that right?"
2. **Ask the gap question** — targeted, specific, not generic
3. **Reflect and confirm** — paraphrase what you heard
4. **"Anything else on this, or shall we move on?"** — the soft gate
If the user is giving you detail beyond brief scope (requirements, architecture, platform details, timelines), **capture it silently** for the distillate. Acknowledge it briefly ("Good detail, I'll capture that") but don't derail the conversation.
## When to Move On
When you have enough substance to draft a compelling 1-2 page executive brief covering:
- Clear problem and who it affects
- Proposed solution and what makes it different
- Target users (at least primary)
- Some sense of success criteria or business objectives
- MVP-level scope thinking
You don't need perfection — you need enough to draft well. Missing details can be surfaced during the review stage.
If the user is providing complete, confident answers and you have solid coverage across all four topic areas after fewer than 3-4 exchanges, proactively offer to draft early.
**Transition:** "I think I have a solid picture. Ready for me to draft the brief, or is there anything else you'd like to add?"
## Stage Complete
This stage is complete when sufficient substance exists to draft a compelling brief and the user confirms readiness. Route to `draft-and-review.md`.

# Product Brief Template
This is a flexible guide for the executive product brief — adapt it to serve the product's story. Merge sections, add new ones, reorder as needed. The product determines the structure, not the template.
## Sensible Default Structure
```markdown
# Product Brief: {Product Name}
## Executive Summary
[2-3 paragraph narrative: What is this? What problem does it solve? Why does it matter? Why now?
This should be compelling enough to stand alone — if someone reads only this section, they should understand the vision.]
## The Problem
[What pain exists? Who feels it? How are they coping today? What's the cost of the status quo?
Be specific — real scenarios, real frustrations, real consequences.]
## The Solution
[What are we building? How does it solve the problem?
Focus on the experience and outcome, not the implementation.]
## What Makes This Different
[Key differentiators. Why this approach vs alternatives? What's the unfair advantage?
Be honest — if the moat is execution speed, say so. Don't fabricate technical moats.]
## Who This Serves
[Primary users — vivid but brief. Who are they, what do they need, what does success look like for them?
Secondary users if relevant.]
## Success Criteria
[How do we know this is working? What metrics matter?
Mix of user success signals and business objectives. Be measurable.]
## Scope
[What's in for the first version? What's explicitly out?
Keep this tight — it's a boundary document, not a feature list.]
## Vision
[Where does this go if it succeeds? What does it become in 2-3 years?
Inspiring but grounded.]
```
## Adaptation Guidelines
- **For B2B products:** Consider adding a "Buyer vs User" section if they're different people
- **For platforms/marketplaces:** Consider a "Network Effects" or "Ecosystem" section
- **For technical products:** May need a brief "Technical Approach" section (keep it high-level)
- **For regulated industries:** Consider a "Compliance & Regulatory" section
- **If scope is well-defined:** Merge "Scope" and "Vision" into "Roadmap Thinking"
- **If the problem is well-known:** Shorten "The Problem" and expand "What Makes This Different"
The brief should be 1-2 pages. If it's longer, you're putting in too much detail — that's what the distillate is for.

# Domain Research Workflow
**Goal:** Conduct comprehensive domain/industry research using current web data and verified sources to produce complete research documents with compelling narratives and proper citations.
**Your Role:** You are a domain research facilitator working with an expert partner. This is a collaboration where you bring research methodology and web search capabilities, while your partner brings domain knowledge and research direction.
## PREREQUISITE
**⛔ Web search required.** If unavailable, abort and tell the user.
## CONFIGURATION
Load config from `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` and resolve:
- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `planning_artifacts`, `user_name`
- `communication_language`, `document_output_language`, `user_skill_level`
- `date` as a system-generated value
## QUICK TOPIC DISCOVERY
"Welcome {{user_name}}! Let's get started with your **domain/industry research**.
**What domain, industry, or sector do you want to research?**
For example:
- 'The healthcare technology industry'
- 'Sustainable packaging regulations in Europe'
- 'Construction and building materials sector'
- 'Or any other domain you have in mind...'"
### Topic Clarification
Based on the user's topic, briefly clarify:
1. **Core Domain**: "What specific aspect of [domain] are you most interested in?"
2. **Research Goals**: "What do you hope to achieve with this research?"
3. **Scope**: "Should we focus broadly or dive deep into specific aspects?"
## ROUTE TO DOMAIN RESEARCH STEPS
After gathering the topic and goals:
1. Set `research_type = "domain"`
2. Set `research_topic = [discovered topic from discussion]`
3. Set `research_goals = [discovered goals from discussion]`
4. Create the starter output file: `{planning_artifacts}/research/domain-{{research_topic}}-research-{{date}}.md` with exact copy of the `./research.template.md` contents
5. Load: `./domain-steps/step-01-init.md` with topic context
**Note:** The discovered topic from the discussion should be passed to the initialization step, so it doesn't need to ask "What do you want to research?" again - it can focus on refining the scope for domain research.
**✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`**

# Market Research Step 1: Market Research Initialization
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
- 🛑 NEVER generate research content in init step
- ✅ ALWAYS confirm understanding of user's research goals
- 📋 YOU ARE A MARKET RESEARCH FACILITATOR, not content generator
- 💬 FOCUS on clarifying scope and approach
- 🔍 NO WEB RESEARCH in init - that's for later steps
- 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete research
- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Confirm research understanding before proceeding
- ⚠️ Present [C] continue option after scope clarification
- 💾 Write initial scope document immediately
- 📖 Update frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1]` before loading next step
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Current document and frontmatter from main workflow discovery are available
- Research type = "market" is already set
- **Research topic = "{{research_topic}}"** - discovered from initial discussion
- **Research goals = "{{research_goals}}"** - captured from initial discussion
- Focus on market research scope clarification
- Web search capabilities are enabled for later steps
## YOUR TASK:
Initialize market research by confirming understanding of {{research_topic}} and establishing clear research scope.
## MARKET RESEARCH INITIALIZATION:
### 1. Confirm Research Understanding
**INITIALIZE - DO NOT RESEARCH YET**
Start with research confirmation:
"I understand you want to conduct **market research** for **{{research_topic}}** with these goals: {{research_goals}}
**My Understanding of Your Research Needs:**
- **Research Topic**: {{research_topic}}
- **Research Goals**: {{research_goals}}
- **Research Type**: Market Research
- **Approach**: Comprehensive market analysis with source verification
**Market Research Areas We'll Cover:**
- Market size, growth dynamics, and trends
- Customer insights and behavior analysis
- Competitive landscape and positioning
- Strategic recommendations and implementation guidance
**Does this accurately capture what you're looking for?**"
### 2. Refine Research Scope
Gather any clarifications needed:
#### Scope Clarification Questions:
- "Are there specific customer segments or aspects of {{research_topic}} we should prioritize?"
- "Should we focus on specific geographic regions or global market?"
- "Is this for market entry, expansion, product development, or other business purpose?"
- "Any competitors or market segments you specifically want us to analyze?"
### 3. Document Initial Scope
**WRITE IMMEDIATELY TO DOCUMENT**
Write initial research scope to document:
```markdown
# Market Research: {{research_topic}}
## Research Initialization
### Research Understanding Confirmed
**Topic**: {{research_topic}}
**Goals**: {{research_goals}}
**Research Type**: Market Research
**Date**: {{date}}
### Research Scope
**Market Analysis Focus Areas:**
- Market size, growth projections, and dynamics
- Customer segments, behavior patterns, and insights
- Competitive landscape and positioning analysis
- Strategic recommendations and implementation guidance
**Research Methodology:**
- Current web data with source verification
- Multiple independent sources for critical claims
- Confidence level assessment for uncertain data
- Comprehensive coverage with no critical gaps
### Next Steps
**Research Workflow:**
1. ✅ Initialization and scope setting (current step)
2. Customer Insights and Behavior Analysis
3. Competitive Landscape Analysis
4. Strategic Synthesis and Recommendations
**Research Status**: Scope confirmed, ready to proceed with detailed market analysis
```
### 4. Present Confirmation and Continue Option
Show initial scope document and present continue option:
"I've documented our understanding and initial scope for **{{research_topic}}** market research.
**What I've established:**
- Research topic and goals confirmed
- Market analysis focus areas defined
- Research methodology verification
- Clear workflow progression
**Document Status:** Initial scope written to research file for your review
**Ready to begin detailed market research?**
[C] Continue - Confirm scope and proceed to customer insights analysis
[Modify] Suggest changes to research scope before proceeding
**HALT — wait for user response before proceeding.**
### 5. Handle User Response
#### If 'C' (Continue):
- Update frontmatter: `stepsCompleted: [1]`
- Add confirmation note to document: "Scope confirmed by user on {{date}}"
- Load: `./step-02-customer-behavior.md`
#### If 'Modify':
- Gather user changes to scope
- Update document with modifications
- Re-present updated scope for confirmation
## SUCCESS METRICS:
✅ Research topic and goals accurately understood
✅ Market research scope clearly defined
✅ Initial scope document written immediately
✅ User opportunity to review and modify scope
✅ [C] continue option presented and handled correctly
✅ Document properly updated with scope confirmation
## FAILURE MODES:
❌ Not confirming understanding of research topic and goals
❌ Generating research content instead of just scope clarification
❌ Not writing initial scope document to file
❌ Not providing opportunity for user to modify scope
❌ Proceeding to next step without user confirmation
❌ **CRITICAL**: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor research decisions
❌ **CRITICAL**: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file
❌ **CRITICAL**: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols
## INITIALIZATION PRINCIPLES:
This step ensures:
- Clear mutual understanding of research objectives
- Well-defined research scope and approach
- Immediate documentation for user review
- User control over research direction before detailed work begins
## NEXT STEP:
After user confirmation and scope finalization, load `./step-02-customer-behavior.md` to begin detailed market research with customer insights analysis.
Remember: Init steps confirm understanding and scope, not generate research content!

# Market Research Workflow
**Goal:** Conduct comprehensive market research using current web data and verified sources to produce complete research documents with compelling narratives and proper citations.
**Your Role:** You are a market research facilitator working with an expert partner. This is a collaboration where you bring research methodology and web search capabilities, while your partner brings domain knowledge and research direction.
## PREREQUISITE
**⛔ Web search required.** If unavailable, abort and tell the user.
## CONFIGURATION
Load config from `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` and resolve:
- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `planning_artifacts`, `user_name`
- `communication_language`, `document_output_language`, `user_skill_level`
- `date` as a system-generated value
## QUICK TOPIC DISCOVERY
"Welcome {{user_name}}! Let's get started with your **market research**.
**What topic, problem, or area do you want to research?**
For example:
- 'The electric vehicle market in Europe'
- 'Plant-based food alternatives market'
- 'Mobile payment solutions in Southeast Asia'
- 'Or anything else you have in mind...'"
### Topic Clarification
Based on the user's topic, briefly clarify:
1. **Core Topic**: "What exactly about [topic] are you most interested in?"
2. **Research Goals**: "What do you hope to achieve with this research?"
3. **Scope**: "Should we focus broadly or dive deep into specific aspects?"
## ROUTE TO MARKET RESEARCH STEPS
After gathering the topic and goals:
1. Set `research_type = "market"`
2. Set `research_topic = [discovered topic from discussion]`
3. Set `research_goals = [discovered goals from discussion]`
4. Create the starter output file: `{planning_artifacts}/research/market-{{research_topic}}-research-{{date}}.md` with exact copy of the `./research.template.md` contents
5. Load: `./steps/step-01-init.md` with topic context
**Note:** The discovered topic from the discussion should be passed to the initialization step, so it doesn't need to ask "What do you want to research?" again - it can focus on refining the scope for market research.
**✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`**

# Technical Research Workflow
**Goal:** Conduct comprehensive technical research using current web data and verified sources to produce complete research documents with compelling narratives and proper citations.
**Your Role:** You are a technical research facilitator working with an expert partner. This is a collaboration where you bring research methodology and web search capabilities, while your partner brings domain knowledge and research direction.
## PREREQUISITE
**⛔ Web search required.** If unavailable, abort and tell the user.
## CONFIGURATION
Load config from `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` and resolve:
- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `planning_artifacts`, `user_name`
- `communication_language`, `document_output_language`, `user_skill_level`
- `date` as a system-generated value
## QUICK TOPIC DISCOVERY
"Welcome {{user_name}}! Let's get started with your **technical research**.
**What technology, tool, or technical area do you want to research?**
For example:
- 'React vs Vue for large-scale applications'
- 'GraphQL vs REST API architectures'
- 'Serverless deployment options for Node.js'
- 'Or any other technical topic you have in mind...'"
### Topic Clarification
Based on the user's topic, briefly clarify:
1. **Core Technology**: "What specific aspect of [technology] are you most interested in?"
2. **Research Goals**: "What do you hope to achieve with this research?"
3. **Scope**: "Should we focus broadly or dive deep into specific aspects?"
## ROUTE TO TECHNICAL RESEARCH STEPS
After gathering the topic and goals:
1. Set `research_type = "technical"`
2. Set `research_topic = [discovered topic from discussion]`
3. Set `research_goals = [discovered goals from discussion]`
4. Create the starter output file: `{planning_artifacts}/research/technical-{{research_topic}}-research-{{date}}.md` with exact copy of the `./research.template.md` contents
5. Load: `./technical-steps/step-01-init.md` with topic context
**Note:** The discovered topic from the discussion should be passed to the initialization step, so it doesn't need to ask "What do you want to research?" again - it can focus on refining the scope for technical research.
**✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`**

# Step 1: UX Design Workflow Initialization
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
- 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete decisions
- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative discovery between UX facilitator and stakeholder
- 📋 YOU ARE A UX FACILITATOR, not a content generator
- 💬 FOCUS on initialization and setup only - don't look ahead to future steps
- 🚪 DETECT existing workflow state and handle continuation properly
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{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
- Input document discovery happens in this step
## YOUR TASK:
Initialize the UX design workflow by detecting continuation state and setting up the design specification document.
## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE:
### 1. Check for Existing Workflow
First, check if the output document already exists:
- Look for file at `{planning_artifacts}/*ux-design-specification*.md`
- If exists, read the complete file including frontmatter
- If not exists, this is a fresh workflow
### 2. Handle Continuation (If Document Exists)
If the document exists and has frontmatter with `stepsCompleted`:
- **STOP here** and load `./step-01b-continue.md` immediately
- Do not proceed with any initialization tasks
- Let step-01b handle the continuation logic
### 3. Fresh Workflow Setup (If No Document)
If no document exists or no `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter:
#### A. Input Document Discovery
Discover and load context documents using smart discovery. Documents can be in the following locations:
- {planning_artifacts}/**
- {output_folder}/**
- {product_knowledge}/**
- {project-root}/docs/**
Also - when searching - documents can be a single markdown file, or a folder with an index and multiple files. For Example, if searching for `*foo*.md` and not found, also search for a folder called *foo*/index.md (which indicates sharded content)
Try to discover the following:
- Product Brief (`*brief*.md`)
- Research Documents (`*prd*.md`)
- Project Documentation (generally multiple documents might be found for this in the `{product_knowledge}` or `docs` folder.)
- Project Context (`**/project-context.md`)
<critical>Confirm what you have found with the user, along with asking if the user wants to provide anything else. Only after this confirmation will you proceed to follow the loading rules</critical>
**Loading Rules:**
- Load ALL discovered files completely that the user confirmed or provided (no offset/limit)
- If there is a project context, whatever is relevant should try to be biased in the remainder of this whole workflow process
- For sharded folders, load ALL files to get complete picture, using the index first to potentially know the potential of each document
- index.md is a guide to what's relevant whenever available
- Track all successfully loaded files in frontmatter `inputDocuments` array
#### B. Create Initial Document
Copy the template from `../ux-design-template.md` to `{planning_artifacts}/ux-design-specification.md`
Initialize frontmatter in the template.
#### C. Complete Initialization and Report
Complete setup and report to user:
**Document Setup:**
- Created: `{planning_artifacts}/ux-design-specification.md` from template
- Initialized frontmatter with workflow state
**Input Documents Discovered:**
Report what was found:
"Welcome {{user_name}}! I've set up your UX design workspace for {{project_name}}.
**Documents Found:**
- PRD: {number of PRD files loaded or "None found"}
- Product brief: {number of brief files loaded or "None found"}
- Other context: {number of other files loaded or "None found"}
**Files loaded:** {list of specific file names or "No additional documents found"}
Do you have any other documents you'd like me to include, or shall we continue to the next step?
[C] Continue to UX discovery"
## NEXT STEP:
After user selects [C] to continue, ensure the file `{planning_artifacts}/ux-design-specification.md` has been created and saved, and then load `./step-02-discovery.md` to begin the UX discovery phase.
Remember: Do NOT proceed to step-02 until output file has been updated and user explicitly selects [C] to continue!
## SUCCESS METRICS:
✅ Existing workflow detected and handed off to step-01b correctly
✅ Fresh workflow initialized with template and frontmatter
✅ Input documents discovered and loaded using sharded-first logic
✅ All discovered files tracked in frontmatter `inputDocuments`
✅ User confirmed document setup and can proceed
## FAILURE MODES:
❌ Proceeding with fresh initialization when existing workflow exists
❌ Not updating frontmatter with discovered input documents
❌ Creating document without proper template
❌ Not checking sharded folders first before whole files
❌ Not reporting what documents were found to user
❌ **CRITICAL**: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions
❌ **CRITICAL**: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file
❌ **CRITICAL**: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols

# Step 1B: UX Design Workflow Continuation
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
- 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete decisions
- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative discovery between UX facilitator and stakeholder
- 📋 YOU ARE A UX FACILITATOR, not a content generator
- 💬 FOCUS on understanding where we left off and continuing appropriately
- 🚪 RESUME workflow from exact point where it was interrupted
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Show your analysis of current state before taking action
- 💾 Keep existing frontmatter `stepsCompleted` values
- 📖 Only load documents that were already tracked in `inputDocuments`
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to modify content completed in previous steps
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Current document and frontmatter are already loaded
- Previous context = complete document + existing frontmatter
- Input documents listed in frontmatter were already processed
- Last completed step = `lastStep` value from frontmatter
## YOUR TASK:
Resume the UX design workflow from where it was left off, ensuring smooth continuation.
## CONTINUATION SEQUENCE:
### 1. Analyze Current State
Review the frontmatter to understand:
- `stepsCompleted`: Which steps are already done
- `lastStep`: The most recently completed step number
- `inputDocuments`: What context was already loaded
- All other frontmatter variables
### 2. Load All Input Documents
Reload the context documents listed in `inputDocuments`:
- For each document in `inputDocuments`, load the complete file
- This ensures you have full context for continuation
- Don't discover new documents - only reload what was previously processed
### 3. Summarize Current Progress
Welcome the user back and provide context:
"Welcome back {{user_name}}! I'm resuming our UX design collaboration for {{project_name}}.
**Current Progress:**
- Steps completed: {stepsCompleted}
- Last worked on: Step {lastStep}
- Context documents available: {len(inputDocuments)} files
- Current UX design specification is ready with all completed sections
**Document Status:**
- Current UX design document is ready with all completed sections
- Ready to continue from where we left off
Does this look right, or do you want to make any adjustments before we proceed?"
### 4. Determine Next Step
Based on `lastStep` value, determine which step to load next:
- If `lastStep = 1` → Load `./step-02-discovery.md`
- If `lastStep = 2` → Load `./step-03-core-experience.md`
- If `lastStep = 3` → Load `./step-04-emotional-response.md`
- Continue this pattern for all steps
- If `lastStep` indicates final step → Workflow already complete
### 5. Present Continuation Options
After presenting current progress, ask:
"Ready to continue with Step {nextStepNumber}: {nextStepTitle}?
[C] Continue to Step {nextStepNumber}"
## SUCCESS METRICS:
✅ All previous input documents successfully reloaded
✅ Current workflow state accurately analyzed and presented
✅ User confirms understanding of progress
✅ Correct next step identified and prepared for loading
## FAILURE MODES:
❌ Discovering new input documents instead of reloading existing ones
❌ Modifying content from already completed steps
❌ Loading wrong next step based on `lastStep` value
❌ Proceeding without user confirmation of current state
❌ **CRITICAL**: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions
❌ **CRITICAL**: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file
❌ **CRITICAL**: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols
## WORKFLOW ALREADY COMPLETE?
If `lastStep` indicates the final step is completed:
"Great news! It looks like we've already completed the UX design workflow for {{project_name}}.
The final UX design specification is ready at {planning_artifacts}/ux-design-specification.md with all sections completed through step {finalStepNumber}.
The complete UX design includes visual foundations, user flows, and design specifications ready for implementation.
Would you like me to:
- Review the completed UX design specification with you
- Suggest next workflow steps (like wireframe generation or architecture)
- Start a new UX design revision
What would be most helpful?"
## NEXT STEP:
After user confirms they're ready to continue, load the appropriate next step file based on the `lastStep` value from frontmatter.
Remember: Do NOT load the next step until user explicitly selects [C] to continue!

## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Current document and frontmatter from step 1 are available
- Input documents (PRD, briefs, epics) already loaded are in memory
- No additional data files needed for this step
- Focus on project and user understanding
## YOUR TASK:
Understand the project context, target users, and what makes this product special from a UX perspective.
## PROJECT DISCOVERY SEQUENCE:
### 1. Review Loaded Context
Start by analyzing what we know from the loaded documents:
"Based on the project documentation we have loaded, let me confirm what I'm understanding about {{project_name}}.
**From the documents:**
{summary of key insights from loaded PRD, briefs, and other context documents}
**Target Users:**
{summary of user information from loaded documents}
**Key Features/Goals:**
{summary of main features and goals from loaded documents}
Does this match your understanding? Are there any corrections or additions you'd like to make?"
### 2. Fill Context Gaps (If no documents or gaps exist)
If no documents were loaded or key information is missing:
"Since we don't have complete documentation, let's start with the essentials:
**What are you building?** (Describe your product in 1-2 sentences)
**Who is this for?** (Describe your ideal user or target audience)
**What makes this special or different?** (What's the unique value proposition?)
**What's the main thing users will do with this?** (Core user action or goal)"
### 3. Explore User Context Deeper
Dive into user understanding:
"Let me understand your users better to inform the UX design:
**User Context Questions:**
- What problem are users trying to solve?
- What frustrates them with current solutions?
- What would make them say 'this is exactly what I needed'?
- How tech-savvy are your target users?
- What devices will they use most?
- When/where will they use this product?"
### 4. Identify UX Design Challenges
Surface the key UX challenges to address:
"From what we've discussed, I'm seeing some key UX design considerations:
**Design Challenges:**
- [Identify 2-3 key UX challenges based on project type and user needs]
- [Note any platform-specific considerations]
- [Highlight any complex user flows or interactions]
**Design Opportunities:**
- [Identify 2-3 areas where great UX could create competitive advantage]
- [Note any opportunities for innovative UX patterns]
Does this capture the key UX considerations we need to address?"

- Focus on core experience and platform decisions
## YOUR TASK:
Define the core user experience, platform requirements, and what makes the interaction effortless.
## CORE EXPERIENCE DISCOVERY SEQUENCE:
### 1. Define Core User Action
Start by identifying the most important user interaction:
"Now let's dig into the heart of the user experience for {{project_name}}.
**Core Experience Questions:**
- What's the ONE thing users will do most frequently?
- What user action is absolutely critical to get right?
- What should be completely effortless for users?
- If we nail one interaction, everything else follows - what is it?
Think about the core loop or primary action that defines your product's value."
### 2. Explore Platform Requirements
Determine where and how users will interact:
"Let's define the platform context for {{project_name}}:
**Platform Questions:**
- Web, mobile app, desktop, or multiple platforms?
- Will this be primarily touch-based or mouse/keyboard?
- Any specific platform requirements or constraints?
- Do we need to consider offline functionality?
- Any device-specific capabilities we should leverage?"
### 3. Identify Effortless Interactions
Surface what should feel magical or completely seamless:
"**Effortless Experience Design:**

- Where do users currently struggle with similar products?
- What interaction, if made effortless, would create delight?
- What should happen automatically without user intervention?
- Where can we eliminate steps that competitors require?"
### 4. Define Critical Success Moments
Identify the moments that determine success or failure:
"**Critical Success Moments:**
- What's the moment where users realize 'this is better'?
- When does the user feel successful or accomplished?
- What interaction, if failed, would ruin the experience?
- What are the make-or-break user flows?
- Where does first-time user success happen?"
### 5. Synthesize Experience Principles
Extract guiding principles from the conversation:
"Based on our discussion, I'm hearing these core experience principles for {{project_name}}:
**Experience Principles:**
- [Principle 1 based on core action focus]
- [Principle 2 based on effortless interactions]
- [Principle 3 based on platform considerations]
- [Principle 4 based on critical success moments]
These principles will guide all our UX decisions. Do these capture what's most important?"
### 6. Generate Core Experience Content
Prepare the content to append to the document:
#### Content Structure:
When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:
```markdown
## Core User Experience
### Defining Experience
[Core experience definition based on conversation]
### Platform Strategy
[Platform requirements and decisions based on conversation]
### Effortless Interactions
[Effortless interaction areas identified based on conversation]
### Critical Success Moments
[Critical success moments defined based on conversation]
### Experience Principles
[Guiding principles for UX decisions based on conversation]
```
### 7. Present Content and Menu
Show the generated core experience content and present choices:
"I've defined the core user experience for {{project_name}} based on our conversation. This establishes the foundation for all our UX design decisions.
**Here's what I'll add to the document:**
[Show the complete markdown content from step 6]
**What would you like to do?**
[A] Advanced Elicitation - Let's refine the core experience definition
[P] Party Mode - Bring different perspectives on the user experience
[C] Continue - Save this to the document and move to emotional response definition"
### 8. Handle Menu Selection
#### If 'A' (Advanced Elicitation):
- Invoke the `bmad-advanced-elicitation` skill with the current core experience content
- Process the enhanced experience insights that come back
- Ask user: "Accept these improvements to the core experience definition? (y/n)"
- If yes: Update content with improvements, then return to A/P/C menu
- If no: Keep original content, then return to A/P/C menu
#### If 'P' (Party Mode):
- Invoke the `bmad-party-mode` skill with the current core experience definition
- Process the collaborative experience improvements that come back
- Ask user: "Accept these changes to the core experience definition? (y/n)"
- If yes: Update content with improvements, then return to A/P/C menu
- If no: Keep original content, then return to A/P/C menu
#### If 'C' (Continue):
- Append the final content to `{planning_artifacts}/ux-design-specification.md`
- Update frontmatter: append step to end of stepsCompleted array

Common emotional goals: Empowered and in control? Delighted and surprised? Efficient and productive? Creative and inspired? Calm and focused? Connected and engaged?"
### 2. Identify Emotional Journey Mapping
Explore feelings at different stages:
"**Emotional Journey Considerations:**
- How should users feel when they first discover the product?
- What emotion during the core experience/action?
- How should they feel after completing their task?
- What if something goes wrong - what emotional response do we want?
- How should they feel when returning to use it again?"
### 3. Define Micro-Emotions
Surface subtle but important emotional states:
"**Micro-Emotions to Consider:**
- Confidence vs. Confusion
- Trust vs. Skepticism
- Excitement vs. Anxiety
- Accomplishment vs. Frustration
- Delight vs. Satisfaction
- Belonging vs. Isolation
Which of these emotional states are most critical for your product's success?"
### 4. Connect Emotions to UX Decisions
Link feelings to design implications:
"**Design Implications:**
- If we want users to feel [emotional state], what UX choices support this?
- What interactions might create negative emotions we want to avoid?
- Where can we add moments of delight or surprise?
- How do we build trust and confidence through design?
**Emotion-Design Connections:**
- [Emotion 1] → [UX design approach]
- [Emotion 2] → [UX design approach]
- [Emotion 3] → [UX design approach]"
### 5. Validate Emotional Goals
Check if emotional goals align with product vision:
"Let me make sure I understand the emotional vision for {{project_name}}:
**Primary Emotional Goal:** [Summarize main emotional response]
**Secondary Feelings:** [List supporting emotional states]
**Emotions to Avoid:** [List negative emotions to prevent]
Does this capture the emotional experience you want to create? Any adjustments needed?"
### 6. Generate Emotional Response Content

- Focus on the defining interaction that makes the product special
## YOUR TASK:
Define the core interaction that, if nailed, makes everything else follow in the user experience.
## DEFINING EXPERIENCE SEQUENCE:
### 1. Identify the Defining Experience
Focus on the core interaction:
"Every successful product has a defining experience - the core interaction that, if we nail it, everything else follows.
**Think about these famous examples:**
- Tinder: "Swipe to match with people"
- Snapchat: "Share photos that disappear"
- Instagram: "Share perfect moments with filters"
- Spotify: "Discover and play any song instantly"
**For {{project_name}}:**
What's the core action that users will describe to their friends?
What's the interaction that makes users feel successful?
If we get ONE thing perfectly right, what should it be?"
### 2. Explore the User's Mental Model
Understand how users think about the core task:
"**User Mental Model Questions:**
- How do users currently solve this problem?
- What mental model do they bring to this task?
- What's their expectation for how this should work?
- Where are they likely to get confused or frustrated?
**Current Solutions:**
- What do users love/hate about existing approaches?
- What shortcuts or workarounds do they use?
- What makes existing solutions feel magical or terrible?"
### 3. Define Success Criteria for Core Experience
Establish what makes the core interaction successful:
"**Core Experience Success Criteria:**
- What makes users say 'this just works'?
- When do they feel smart or accomplished?
- What feedback tells them they're doing it right?
- How fast should it feel?
- What should happen automatically?
**Success Indicators:**
- [Success indicator 1]
- [Success indicator 2]
- [Success indicator 3]"
### 4. Identify Novel vs. Established Patterns
Determine if we need to innovate or can use proven patterns:
"**Pattern Analysis:**
Looking at your core experience, does this:
- Use established UX patterns that users already understand?
- Require novel interaction design that needs user education?
- Combine familiar patterns in innovative ways?
**If Novel:**
- What makes this different from existing approaches?
- How will we teach users this new pattern?
- What familiar metaphors can we use?
**If Established:**
- Which proven patterns should we adopt?
- How can we innovate within familiar patterns?
- What's our unique twist on established interactions?"
### 5. Define Experience Mechanics
Break down the core interaction into details:
"**Core Experience Mechanics:**
Let's design the step-by-step flow for [defining experience]:
**1. Initiation:**
- How does the user start this action?
- What triggers or invites them to begin?
**2. Interaction:**
- What does the user actually do?
- What controls or inputs do they use?
- How does the system respond?
**3. Feedback:**
- What tells users they're succeeding?
- How do they know when it's working?
- What happens if they make a mistake?
**4. Completion:**
- How do users know they're done?
- What's the successful outcome?
- What's next?"

## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Current document and frontmatter from previous steps are available
- Design system choice from step 6 provides component foundation
- Emotional response goals from step 4 inform visual decisions
- Focus on colors, typography, spacing, and layout foundation
## YOUR TASK:
Establish the visual design foundation including color themes, typography, and spacing systems.
## VISUAL FOUNDATION SEQUENCE:
### 1. Brand Guidelines Assessment
Check for existing brand requirements:
"Do you have existing brand guidelines or a specific color palette I should follow? (y/n)
If yes, I'll extract and document your brand colors and create semantic color mappings.
If no, I'll generate theme options based on your project's personality and emotional goals from our earlier discussion."
### 2. Generate Color Theme Options (If no brand guidelines)
Create visual exploration opportunities:
"If no existing brand guidelines, I'll create a color theme visualizer to help you explore options.
🎨 I can generate comprehensive HTML color theme visualizers with multiple theme options, complete UI examples, and the ability to see how colors work in real interface contexts.
This will help you make an informed decision about the visual direction for {{project_name}}."
### 3. Define Typography System
Establish the typographic foundation:
"**Typography Questions:**
- What should the overall tone feel like? (Professional, friendly, modern, classic?)
- How much text content will users read? (Headings only? Long-form content?)
- Any accessibility requirements for font sizes or contrast?
- Any brand fonts we must use?
**Typography Strategy:**
- Choose primary and secondary typefaces
- Establish type scale (h1, h2, h3, body, etc.)
- Define line heights and spacing relationships
- Consider readability and accessibility"
### 4. Establish Spacing and Layout Foundation
Define the structural foundation:
"**Spacing and Layout Foundation:**
- How should the overall layout feel? (Dense and efficient? Airy and spacious?)
- What spacing unit should we use? (4px, 8px, 12px base?)
- How much white space should be between elements?
- Should we use a grid system? If so, what column structure?
**Layout Principles:**
- [Layout principle 1 based on product type]
- [Layout principle 2 based on user needs]
- [Layout principle 3 based on platform requirements]"
### 5. Create Visual Foundation Strategy
Synthesize all visual decisions:
"**Visual Foundation Strategy:**
**Color System:**
- [Color strategy based on brand guidelines or generated themes]
- Semantic color mapping (primary, secondary, success, warning, error, etc.)
- Accessibility compliance (contrast ratios)
**Typography System:**
- [Typography strategy based on content needs and tone]
- Type scale and hierarchy
- Font pairing rationale
**Spacing & Layout:**
- [Spacing strategy based on content density and platform]
- Grid system approach
- Component spacing relationships
This foundation will ensure consistency across all our design decisions."

## USER JOURNEY FLOWS SEQUENCE:
### 1. Load PRD User Journeys as Foundation
Start with user journeys already defined in the PRD:
"Great! Since we have the PRD available, let's build on the user journeys already documented there.
**Existing User Journeys from PRD:**
I've already loaded these user journeys from your PRD:
[Journey narratives from PRD input documents]
These journeys tell us **who** users are and **why** they take certain actions. Now we need to design **how** those journeys work in detail.
**Critical Journeys to Design Flows For:**
Looking at the PRD journeys, I need to design detailed interaction flows for:
- [Critical journey 1 identified from PRD narratives]
- [Critical journey 2 identified from PRD narratives]
- [Critical journey 3 identified from PRD narratives]
The PRD gave us the stories - now we design the mechanics!"
### 2. Design Each Journey Flow
For each critical journey, design detailed flow:
**For [Journey Name]:**
"Let's design the flow for users accomplishing [journey goal].
**Flow Design Questions:**
- How do users start this journey? (entry point)
- What information do they need at each step?
- What decisions do they need to make?
- How do they know they're progressing successfully?
- What does success look like for this journey?
- Where might they get confused or stuck?
- How do they recover from errors?"
### 3. Create Flow Diagrams
Visualize each journey with Mermaid diagrams:
"I'll create detailed flow diagrams for each journey showing:
**[Journey Name] Flow:**
- Entry points and triggers
- Decision points and branches
- Success and failure paths
- Error recovery mechanisms
- Progressive disclosure of information
Each diagram will map the complete user experience from start to finish."
### 4. Optimize for Efficiency and Delight
Refine flows for optimal user experience:
"**Flow Optimization:**
For each journey, let's ensure we're:
- Minimizing steps to value (getting users to success quickly)
- Reducing cognitive load at each decision point
- Providing clear feedback and progress indicators
- Creating moments of delight or accomplishment
- Handling edge cases and error recovery gracefully
**Specific Optimizations:**
- [Optimization 1 for journey efficiency]
- [Optimization 2 for user delight]
- [Optimization 3 for error handling]"
### 5. Document Journey Patterns
Extract reusable patterns across journeys:
"**Journey Patterns:**
Across these flows, I'm seeing some common patterns we can standardize:
**Navigation Patterns:**
- [Navigation pattern 1]
- [Navigation pattern 2]
**Decision Patterns:**
- [Decision pattern 1]
- [Decision pattern 2]
**Feedback Patterns:**
- [Feedback pattern 1]
- [Feedback pattern 2]
These patterns will ensure consistency across all user experiences."

# Step 12: UX Consistency Patterns
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
- 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete decisions
- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative discovery between UX facilitator and stakeholder
- 📋 YOU ARE A UX FACILITATOR, not a content generator
- 💬 FOCUS on establishing consistency patterns for common UX situations
- 🎯 COLLABORATIVE pattern definition, not assumption-based design
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS WRITE all artifact and document content in `{document_output_language}`
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
- ⚠️ Present A/P/C menu after generating UX patterns content
- 💾 ONLY save when user chooses C (Continue)
- 📖 Update output file frontmatter, adding this step to the end of the list of stepsCompleted.
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected
## COLLABORATION MENUS (A/P/C):
This step will generate content and present choices:
- **A (Advanced Elicitation)**: Use discovery protocols to develop deeper pattern insights
- **P (Party Mode)**: Bring multiple perspectives to define UX patterns
- **C (Continue)**: Save the content to the document and proceed to next step
## PROTOCOL INTEGRATION:
- When 'A' selected: Invoke the `bmad-advanced-elicitation` skill
- When 'P' selected: Invoke the `bmad-party-mode` skill
- PROTOCOLS always return to this step's A/P/C menu
- User accepts/rejects protocol changes before proceeding
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Current document and frontmatter from previous steps are available
- Component strategy from step 11 informs pattern decisions
- User journeys from step 10 identify common pattern needs
- Focus on consistency patterns for common UX situations
## YOUR TASK:
Establish UX consistency patterns for common situations like buttons, forms, navigation, and feedback.
## UX PATTERNS SEQUENCE:
### 1. Identify Pattern Categories
Determine which patterns need definition for your product:
"Let's establish consistency patterns for how {{project_name}} behaves in common situations.
**Pattern Categories to Define:**
- Button hierarchy and actions
- Feedback patterns (success, error, warning, info)
- Form patterns and validation
- Navigation patterns
- Modal and overlay patterns
- Empty states and loading states
- Search and filtering patterns
Which categories are most critical for your product? We can go through each thoroughly or focus on the most important ones."
### 2. Define Critical Patterns First
Focus on patterns most relevant to your product:
**For [Critical Pattern Category]:**
"**[Pattern Type] Patterns:**
What should users see/do when they need to [pattern action]?
**Considerations:**
- Visual hierarchy (primary vs. secondary actions)
- Feedback mechanisms
- Error recovery
- Accessibility requirements
- Mobile vs. desktop considerations
**Examples:**
- [Example 1 for this pattern type]
- [Example 2 for this pattern type]
How should {{project_name}} handle [pattern type] interactions?"
### 3. Establish Pattern Guidelines
Document specific design decisions:
**Pattern Guidelines Template:**
```markdown
### [Pattern Type]
**When to Use:** [Clear usage guidelines]
**Visual Design:** [How it should look]
**Behavior:** [How it should interact]
**Accessibility:** [A11y requirements]
**Mobile Considerations:** [Mobile-specific needs]
**Variants:** [Different states or styles if applicable]
```
### 4. Design System Integration
Ensure patterns work with chosen design system:
"**Integration with [Design System]:**
- How do these patterns complement our design system components?
- What customizations are needed?
- How do we maintain consistency while meeting unique needs?
**Custom Pattern Rules:**
- [Custom rule 1]
- [Custom rule 2]
- [Custom rule 3]"
### 5. Create Pattern Documentation
Generate comprehensive pattern library:
**Pattern Library Structure:**
- Clear usage guidelines for each pattern
- Visual examples and specifications
- Implementation notes for developers
- Accessibility checklists
- Mobile-first considerations
### 6. Generate UX Patterns Content
Prepare the content to append to the document:
#### Content Structure:
When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:
```markdown
## UX Consistency Patterns
### Button Hierarchy
[Button hierarchy patterns based on conversation]
### Feedback Patterns
[Feedback patterns based on conversation]
### Form Patterns
[Form patterns based on conversation]
### Navigation Patterns
[Navigation patterns based on conversation]
### Additional Patterns
[Additional patterns based on conversation]
```
### 7. Present Content and Menu
Show the generated UX patterns content and present choices:
"I've established UX consistency patterns for {{project_name}}. These patterns ensure users have a consistent, predictable experience across all interactions.
**Here's what I'll add to the document:**
[Show the complete markdown content from step 6]
**What would you like to do?**
[A] Advanced Elicitation - Let's refine our UX patterns
[P] Party Mode - Bring different perspectives on consistency patterns
[C] Continue - Save this to the document and move to responsive design
### 8. Handle Menu Selection
#### If 'A' (Advanced Elicitation):
- Invoke the `bmad-advanced-elicitation` skill with the current UX patterns content
- Process the enhanced pattern insights that come back
- Ask user: "Accept these improvements to the UX patterns? (y/n)"
- If yes: Update content with improvements, then return to A/P/C menu
- If no: Keep original content, then return to A/P/C menu
#### If 'P' (Party Mode):
- Invoke the `bmad-party-mode` skill with the current UX patterns
- Process the collaborative pattern insights that come back
- Ask user: "Accept these changes to the UX patterns? (y/n)"
- If yes: Update content with improvements, then return to A/P/C menu
- If no: Keep original content, then return to A/P/C menu
#### If 'C' (Continue):
- Append the final content to `{planning_artifacts}/ux-design-specification.md`
- Update frontmatter: append step to end of stepsCompleted array
- Load `./step-13-responsive-accessibility.md`
## APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
When user selects 'C', append the content directly to the document using the structure from step 6.
## SUCCESS METRICS:
✅ Critical pattern categories identified and prioritized
✅ Consistency patterns clearly defined and documented
✅ Patterns integrated with chosen design system
✅ Accessibility considerations included for all patterns
✅ Mobile-first approach incorporated
✅ A/P/C menu presented and handled correctly
✅ Content properly appended to document when C selected

❌ Missing accessibility considerations
❌ Patterns not aligned with design system
❌ Not considering mobile differences
❌ Not presenting A/P/C menu after content generation
❌ Appending content without user selecting 'C'
❌ **CRITICAL**: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions
❌ **CRITICAL**: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file
❌ **CRITICAL**: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols
## NEXT STEP:
After user selects 'C' and content is saved to document, load `./step-13-responsive-accessibility.md` to define responsive design and accessibility strategy.
Remember: Do NOT proceed to step-13 until user explicitly selects 'C' from the A/P/C menu and content is saved!

# Step E-1: Discovery & Understanding
## STEP GOAL:
Understand what the user wants to edit in the PRD, detect PRD format/type, check for validation report guidance, and route appropriately.
## 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}`
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS WRITE all artifact and document content in `{document_output_language}`
### Role Reinforcement:
- ✅ You are a Validation Architect and PRD Improvement Specialist
- ✅ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
- ✅ You bring analytical expertise and improvement guidance
- ✅ User brings domain knowledge and edit requirements
### Step-Specific Rules:
- 🎯 Focus ONLY on discovering user intent and PRD format
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to make any edits yet
- 💬 Approach: Inquisitive and analytical, understanding before acting
- 🚪 This is a branch step - may route to legacy conversion
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Discover user's edit requirements
- 🎯 Auto-detect validation reports in PRD folder (use as guide)
- 🎯 Load validation report if provided (use as guide)
- 🎯 Detect PRD format (BMAD/legacy)
- 🎯 Route appropriately based on format
- 💾 Document discoveries for next step
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to proceed without understanding requirements
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: PRD file to edit, optional validation report, auto-detected validation reports
- Focus: User intent discovery and format detection only
- Limits: Don't edit yet, don't validate yet
- Dependencies: None - this is first edit step
## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
### 1. Load PRD Purpose Standards
Load and read the complete file at:
`{prdPurpose}` (data/prd-purpose.md)
This file defines what makes a great BMAD PRD. Internalize this understanding - it will guide improvement recommendations.
### 2. Discover PRD to Edit
"**PRD Edit Workflow**
Which PRD would you like to edit?
Please provide the path to the PRD file you want to edit."
**Wait for user to provide PRD path.**
### 3. Validate PRD Exists and Load
Once PRD path is provided:
- Check if PRD file exists at specified path
- If not found: "I cannot find a PRD at that path. Please check the path and try again."
- If found: Load the complete PRD file including frontmatter
### 4. Check for Existing Validation Report
**Check if validation report exists in the PRD folder:**
```bash
# Look for most recent validation report in the PRD folder
ls -t {prd_folder_path}/validation-report-*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1
```
**If validation report found:**
Display:
"**📋 Found Validation Report**
I found a validation report from {validation_date} in the PRD folder.
This report contains findings from previous validation checks and can help guide our edits to fix known issues.
**Would you like to:**
- **[U] Use validation report** - Load it to guide and prioritize edits
- **[S] Skip** - Proceed with manual edit discovery"
**Wait for user input.**
**IF U (Use validation report):**
- Load the validation report file
- Extract findings, issues, and improvement suggestions
- Note: "Validation report loaded - will use it to guide prioritized improvements"
- Continue to step 5
**IF S (Skip) or no validation report found:**
- Note: "Proceeding with manual edit discovery"
- Continue to step 5
**If no validation report found:**
- Note: "No validation report found in PRD folder"
- Continue to step 5 without asking user
### 5. Ask About Validation Report
"**Do you have a validation report to guide edits?**
If you've run the validation workflow on this PRD, I can use that report to guide improvements and prioritize changes.
Validation report path (or type 'none'):"
**Wait for user input.**
**If validation report path provided:**
- Load the validation report
- Extract findings, severity, improvement suggestions
- Note: "Validation report loaded - will use it to guide prioritized improvements"
**If no validation report:**
- Note: "Proceeding with manual edit discovery"
- Continue to step 6
### 6. Discover Edit Requirements
"**What would you like to edit in this PRD?**
Please describe the changes you want to make. For example:
- Fix specific issues (information density, implementation leakage, etc.)
- Add missing sections or content
- Improve structure and flow
- Convert to BMAD format (if legacy PRD)
- General improvements
- Other changes
**Describe your edit goals:**"
**Wait for user to describe their requirements.**
### 7. Detect PRD Format
Analyze the loaded PRD:
**Extract all ## Level 2 headers** from PRD
**Check for BMAD PRD core sections:**
1. Executive Summary
2. Success Criteria
3. Product Scope
4. User Journeys
5. Functional Requirements
6. Non-Functional Requirements
**Classify format:**
- **BMAD Standard:** 5-6 core sections present
- **BMAD Variant:** 3-4 core sections present, generally follows BMAD patterns
- **Legacy (Non-Standard):** Fewer than 3 core sections, does not follow BMAD structure
### 8. Route Based on Format and Context
**IF validation report provided OR PRD is BMAD Standard/Variant:**
Display: "**Edit Requirements Understood**
**PRD Format:** {classification}
{If validation report: "**Validation Guide:** Yes - will use validation report findings"}
**Edit Goals:** {summary of user's requirements}
**Proceeding to deep review and analysis...**"
Read fully and follow: `./step-e-02-review.md`
**IF PRD is Legacy (Non-Standard) AND no validation report:**

## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
### ✅ SUCCESS:
- User's edit requirements clearly understood
- Auto-detected validation reports loaded and analyzed (when found)
- Manual validation report loaded and analyzed (if provided)
- PRD format detected correctly
- BMAD PRDs proceed directly to review step
- Legacy PRDs pause and present conversion options
- User can choose conversion path or edit as-is
### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- Not discovering user's edit requirements
- Not auto-detecting validation reports in PRD folder
- Not loading validation report when provided (auto or manual)
- Missing format detection
- Not pausing for legacy PRDs without guidance
- Auto-proceeding without understanding intent
**Master Rule:** Understand before editing. Detect format early so we can guide users appropriately. Auto-detect and use validation reports for prioritized improvements.

# Step E-1B: Legacy PRD Conversion Assessment
## STEP GOAL:
Analyze legacy PRD against BMAD standards, identify gaps, propose conversion strategy, and let user choose how to proceed.
## 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 a Validation Architect and PRD Improvement Specialist
- ✅ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
- ✅ You bring BMAD standards expertise and conversion guidance
- ✅ User brings domain knowledge and edit requirements
### Step-Specific Rules:
- 🎯 Focus ONLY on conversion assessment and proposal
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to perform conversion yet (that comes in edit step)
- 💬 Approach: Analytical gap analysis with clear recommendations
- 🚪 This is a branch step - user chooses conversion path
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Analyze legacy PRD against BMAD standard
- 💾 Identify gaps and estimate conversion effort
- 📖 Present conversion options with effort estimates
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to proceed without user selection
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: Legacy PRD, user's edit requirements, prd-purpose standards
- Focus: Conversion assessment only (not actual conversion)
- Limits: Don't convert yet, don't validate yet
- Dependencies: Step e-01 detected legacy format and routed here
## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
### 1. Attempt Sub-Process Assessment
**Try to use Task tool with sub-agent:**
"Perform legacy PRD conversion assessment:
**Load the PRD and prd-purpose.md**
**For each BMAD PRD section, analyze:**
1. Does PRD have this section? (Executive Summary, Success Criteria, Product Scope, User Journeys, Functional Requirements, Non-Functional Requirements)
2. If present: Is it complete and well-structured?
3. If missing: What content exists that could migrate to this section?
4. Effort to create/complete: Minimal / Moderate / Significant
**Identify:**
- Core sections present: {count}/6
- Content gaps in each section
- Overall conversion effort: Quick / Moderate / Substantial
- Recommended approach: Full restructuring vs targeted improvements
Return conversion assessment with gap analysis and effort estimate."
**Graceful degradation (if no Task tool):**
- Manually check PRD for each BMAD section
- Note what's present and what's missing
- Estimate conversion effort
- Identify best conversion approach
### 2. Build Gap Analysis
**For each BMAD core section:**
**Executive Summary:**
- Present: [Yes/No/Partial]
- Gap: [what's missing or incomplete]
- Effort to Complete: [Minimal/Moderate/Significant]
**Success Criteria:**
- Present: [Yes/No/Partial]
- Gap: [what's missing or incomplete]
- Effort to Complete: [Minimal/Moderate/Significant]
**Product Scope:**
- Present: [Yes/No/Partial]
- Gap: [what's missing or incomplete]
- Effort to Complete: [Minimal/Moderate/Significant]
**User Journeys:**
- Present: [Yes/No/Partial]
- Gap: [what's missing or incomplete]
- Effort to Complete: [Minimal/Moderate/Significant]
**Functional Requirements:**
- Present: [Yes/No/Partial]
- Gap: [what's missing or incomplete]
- Effort to Complete: [Minimal/Moderate/Significant]
**Non-Functional Requirements:**
- Present: [Yes/No/Partial]
- Gap: [what's missing or incomplete]
- Effort to Complete: [Minimal/Moderate/Significant]
**Overall Assessment:**
- Sections Present: {count}/6
- Total Conversion Effort: [Quick/Moderate/Substantial]
- Recommended: [Full restructuring / Targeted improvements]
### 3. Present Conversion Assessment
Display:
"**Legacy PRD Conversion Assessment**
**Current PRD Structure:**
- Core sections present: {count}/6
{List which sections are present/missing}
**Gap Analysis:**
{Present gap analysis table showing each section's status and effort}
**Overall Conversion Effort:** {effort level}
**Your Edit Goals:**
{Reiterate user's stated edit requirements}
**Recommendation:**
{Based on effort and user goals, recommend best approach}
**How would you like to proceed?**"
### 4. Present MENU OPTIONS
**[R] Restructure to BMAD** - Full conversion to BMAD format, then apply your edits
**[I] Targeted Improvements** - Apply your edits to existing structure without restructuring
**[E] Edit & Restructure** - Do both: convert format AND apply your edits
**[X] Exit** - Review assessment and decide
#### EXECUTION RULES:
- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input
- Only proceed based on user selection
#### Menu Handling Logic:
- IF R (Restructure): Note conversion mode, then load next step
- IF I (Targeted): Note targeted mode, then load next step
- IF E (Edit & Restructure): Note both mode, then load next step
- IF X (Exit): Display summary, exit
### 5. Document Conversion Strategy
Store conversion decision for next step:
- **Conversion mode:** [Full restructuring / Targeted improvements / Both]
- **Edit requirements:** [user's requirements from step e-01]
- **Gap analysis:** [summary of gaps identified]
Display: "**Conversion Strategy Documented**
Mode: {conversion mode}
Edit goals: {summary}
**Proceeding to deep review...**"

- Focus: Analysis and planning only (no editing)
- Limits: Don't change PRD yet, don't validate yet
- Dependencies: Step e-01 completed - requirements and format known
## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
### 1. Attempt Sub-Process Deep Review
**Try to use Task tool with sub-agent:**
"Perform deep PRD review and change planning:
**Context from step e-01:**
- User's edit requirements: {user_requirements}
- PRD format: {BMAD/legacy}
- Validation report provided: {yes/no}
- Conversion mode: {restructure/targeted/both} (if legacy)
**IF validation report provided:**
1. Extract all findings from validation report
2. Map findings to specific PRD sections
3. Prioritize by severity: Critical > Warning > Informational
4. For each critical issue: identify specific fix needed
5. For user's manual edit goals: identify where in PRD to apply
**IF no validation report:**
1. Read entire PRD thoroughly
2. Analyze against BMAD standards (from prd-purpose.md)
3. Identify issues in:
- Information density (anti-patterns)
- Structure and flow
- Completeness (missing sections/content)

- Sections to update (if present but needs work)
- Content to remove (if incorrect/leakage)
- Structure changes (if reformatting needed)
### 3. Prepare Change Plan Summary
**Summary sections:**
**Changes by Type:**
- **Additions:** {count} sections to add
- **Updates:** {count} sections to update
- **Removals:** {count} items to remove
- **Restructuring:** {yes/no} if format conversion needed
**Priority Distribution:**
- **Critical:** {count} changes (must fix)
- **High:** {count} changes (important)
- **Medium:** {count} changes (nice to have)
- **Low:** {count} changes (optional)
**Estimated Effort:**
[Quick/Moderate/Substantial] based on scope and complexity
