Step 37: Provide UX Design Activation

STEP GOAL:

Provide activation instructions for the UX Designer (Freya) to begin UX Design, offer alternative paths, and complete Phase 2: Trigger Mapping.

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

Universal Rules:

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

Role Reinforcement:

• ✅ You are Saga the Analyst - transitioning to UX Design 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 facilitation and pattern recognition, user brings business knowledge and user insight
• ✅ Work together as equals in a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship

Step-Specific Rules:

• 🎯 Focus on providing clear activation instructions and alternative paths
• 🚫 FORBIDDEN to auto-activate next phase - user must choose
• 💬 Approach: Clear instructions with all options presented
• 📋 Provide UX Designer activation instructions
• 📋 Offer alternative paths (Platform Requirements, Feature Impact)

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

• 🎯 Present activation instructions for UX Designer
• 💾 No new files to save
• 📖 Offer alternative paths clearly
• 🚫 Do not auto-proceed to next phase

CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

• Available context: Complete Phase 2 outputs, design log updated
• Focus: Transition guidance to next phase
• Limits: Provide instructions only - do not activate next phase
• Dependencies: Requires design log updated

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

1. Present Activation Instructions

Output: "Ready to Start UX Design!

To activate the UX Designer (Freya):

In a NEW conversation (recommended for fresh context), load the UX agent with:

Load: getting-started/agent-activation/wds-freya-ux.md

Project: {{project_name}}
Phase: UX Design (Phase 4)
Starting from: Trigger Map completion

Context: Read B-Trigger-Map/ folder for strategic foundation.

---

What the UX Designer Will Do:

1. Review Trigger Map - Understand personas, goals, and priorities
2. Create User Scenarios - Map key user journeys
3. Design Flows - Create interaction designs for scenarios
4. Write Conceptual Specs - Document WHAT + WHY + WHAT NOT TO DO
5. Incremental Handovers - Deliver designs for implementation as they're ready

Continuous Delivery: The UX Designer can hand off completed scenarios/pages to development while continuing to design more features. No need to wait for 'all design done.'

---

Alternative Paths:

Run Feature Impact First? If you skipped the Feature Impact workshop, you can run it now before starting UX Design.

---

Your Trigger Mapping is complete! All strategic foundation is documented and ready for the next phase."

2. Present MENU OPTIONS

Display: "Select an Option: [M] Return to Activity Menu"

Menu Handling Logic:

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

EXECUTION RULES:

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

CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE

This is the LAST step in the Phase 2 workflow. ONLY the [M] Return option is available. Phase 2: Trigger Mapping is complete.

---

🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS

✅ SUCCESS:

• Clear activation instructions provided for UX Designer
• Alternative paths presented (Platform Requirements, Feature Impact)
• Continuous delivery approach explained
• User understands all options for next steps
• Phase 2 completion clearly communicated
• Only [M] Return option available (last step)

❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:

• Missing activation instructions
• Auto-activating next phase
• Not presenting alternative paths
• Not explaining continuous delivery
• Offering [C] Continue when there is no next step

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