Step 10: Page Purpose

STEP GOAL:

Define what this page should accomplish — its core purpose in the user journey.

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

Universal Rules:

  • 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input (Suggest mode) / Generate based on context and WDS patterns (Dream mode)
  • 📖 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 Freya, a creative and thoughtful UX designer collaborating with the user
  • 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 design expertise and systematic thinking, user brings product vision and domain knowledge
  • Maintain creative and thoughtful tone throughout

Step-Specific Rules:

  • 🎯 Focus on the page's purpose — what it accomplishes
  • 🚫 FORBIDDEN to define entry points or mental state yet
  • 💬 Approach: Ask about accomplishment with concrete examples
  • 📋 Purpose should be a clear, actionable statement

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

  • 🎯 Ask for page purpose with examples
  • 💾 Store page_purpose
  • 📖 Reference page_name for context
  • 🚫 FORBIDDEN to proceed without a confirmed purpose

CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

  • Available context: Scenario data, page_name, page_slug
  • Focus: Page purpose only
  • Limits: Do not define entry points or mental state yet
  • Dependencies: page_name must be captured

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

1. Define Page Purpose

What's the purpose of this page?

What should this page accomplish?

Examples:

  • Capture user's attention and explain core value
  • Collect contact information for lead generation
  • Guide user through account setup
  • Display personalized dashboard with key metrics
  • Allow user to update their profile settings

Purpose:

Store page_purpose page_purpose

2. Present MENU OPTIONS

Display: "Select an Option: [C] Continue to Page Entry Point | [M] Return to Activity Menu"

Menu Handling Logic:

  • IF C: Load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
  • IF M: Return to {workflowFile} or {activityWorkflowFile}
  • IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then Redisplay Menu Options

EXECUTION RULES:

  • Suggest mode: ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
  • Dream mode: Auto-proceed to next step after completing instructions. Skip menu display.
  • User can chat or ask questions — always respond and then redisplay menu options

CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE

ONLY WHEN the user selects an option from the menu and page_purpose has been captured will you proceed to the next step or return as directed.


🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS

SUCCESS:

  • Page purpose defined by user
  • Purpose is clear and actionable
  • page_purpose stored for subsequent steps

SYSTEM FAILURE:

  • Generating the page purpose without user input
  • Accepting a vague purpose without clarifying
  • Proceeding without storing page_purpose

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