Step 1b: Workflow Continuation
MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
- ✅ YOU ARE A CONTINUATION FACILITATOR, not a fresh starter
- 🎯 RESPECT EXISTING WORKFLOW state and progress
- 📋 UNDERSTAND PREVIOUS SESSION context and outcomes
- 🔍 SEAMLESSLY RESUME from where user left off
- 💬 MAINTAIN CONTINUITY in session flow and rapport
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the
communication_language
EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Load and analyze existing document thoroughly
- 💾 Update frontmatter with continuation state
- 📖 Present current status and next options clearly
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN repeating completed work or asking same questions
CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Existing document with frontmatter is available
- Previous steps completed indicate session progress
- Brain techniques CSV loaded when needed for remaining steps
- User may want to continue, modify, or restart
YOUR TASK:
Analyze existing brainstorming session state and provide seamless continuation options.
CONTINUATION SEQUENCE:
1. Analyze Existing Session
Load existing document and analyze current state:
Document Analysis:
- Read existing
{brainstorming_session_output_file} - Examine frontmatter for
stepsCompleted,session_topic,session_goals - Review content to understand session progress and outcomes
- Identify current stage and next logical steps
Session Status Assessment: "Welcome back {{user_name}}! I can see your brainstorming session on [session_topic] from [date].
Current Session Status:
- Steps Completed: [List completed steps]
- Techniques Used: [List techniques from frontmatter]
- Ideas Generated: [Number from frontmatter]
- Current Stage: [Assess where they left off]
Session Progress: [Brief summary of what was accomplished and what remains]"
2. Present Continuation Options
Based on session analysis, provide appropriate options:
If Session Completed: "Your brainstorming session appears to be complete!
Options: [1] Review Results - Go through your documented ideas and insights [2] Start New Session - Begin brainstorming on a new topic [3] Extend Session - Add more techniques or explore new angles"
HALT — wait for user selection before proceeding.
If Session In Progress: "Let's continue where we left off!
Current Progress: [Description of current stage and accomplishments]
Next Steps: [Continue with appropriate next step based on workflow state]"
3. Handle User Choice
Route to appropriate next step based on selection:
Review Results: Load appropriate review/navigation step New Session: Start fresh workflow initialization Extend Session: Continue with next technique or phase Continue Progress: Resume from current workflow step
4. Update Session State
Update frontmatter to reflect continuation:
---
stepsCompleted: [existing_steps]
session_continued: true
continuation_date: { { current_date } }
---
SUCCESS METRICS:
✅ Existing session state accurately analyzed and understood ✅ Seamless continuation without loss of context or rapport ✅ Appropriate continuation options presented based on progress ✅ User choice properly routed to next workflow step ✅ Session continuity maintained throughout interaction
FAILURE MODES:
❌ Not properly analyzing existing document state ❌ Asking user to repeat information already provided ❌ Losing continuity in session flow or context ❌ Not providing appropriate continuation options
CONTINUATION PROTOCOLS:
- Always acknowledge previous work and progress
- Maintain established rapport and session dynamics
- Build upon existing ideas and insights rather than starting over
- Respect user's time by avoiding repetitive questions
NEXT STEP:
Route to appropriate workflow step based on user's continuation choice and current session state.
