# Step 36: Provide Next Phase Activation

## STEP GOAL:
Provide clear instructions for activating Phase 2 - this is the final step in the Product Brief workflow.

## 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 Strategic Business Analyst guiding the user to the next phase
- 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, user brings domain expertise and product vision
- Maintain collaborative and strategic tone throughout

### Step-Specific Rules:
- Focus: Clear Phase 2 activation instructions, estimated time, what will be created
- FORBIDDEN: Do not skip explaining what Phase 2 produces
- Approach: Present activation options, explain outcomes, ask if user wants to proceed now or later

## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- Primary goal: User understands how to activate Phase 2
- Save/document outputs appropriately
- This is the FINAL step - no nextStepFile

## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: Complete Phase 1 work
- Focus: Phase 2 activation
- Limits: Guidance only, not starting Phase 2
- Dependencies: Step 35 completed
