Step 02 Substeps: Reusable Workshops

This folder contains reusable workshop micro-instructions for scenario and page initialization.


Structure

scenario-init/

Reusable scenario definition workshop (7 micro-steps)

Used to define a scenario (user flow context):

  • Core feature/experience
  • User entry point
  • Mental state at entry
  • Mutual success goals (business + user)
  • Shortest path (page sequence)
  • Scenario name
  • Create scenario folder structure

Usage:

  • Single page projects: NOT USED (no scenarios)
  • Single scenario projects: Used ONCE (defines the one scenario)
  • Multiple scenarios projects: Used MULTIPLE TIMES (scenario 1, 2, 3...)

After completion, automatically routes to page-init/.


page-init/

Reusable page definition workshop (8 micro-steps)

Used to define an individual page:

  • Page context (determine scenario, page number)
  • Page name
  • Page purpose/goal
  • Entry point(s)
  • User mental state at entry
  • Desired outcome (business + user goals)
  • Page variants (if any)
  • Create page folder and initial specification document

Usage:

  • Single page projects: Used MULTIPLE TIMES (separate pages or variants)
  • Single scenario projects: Used MULTIPLE TIMES (page 1.1, 1.2, 1.3...)
  • Multiple scenarios projects: Used MULTIPLE TIMES (page 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2...)

The page-init workshop is the fundamental reusable building block for ALL page definitions.

Key Design Principles

  1. One question per file - Prevents agent from skipping steps
  2. Strict sequential flow - Each step explicitly loads the next
  3. Reusable workshops - Can be called multiple times as project grows
  4. Clear separation - Scenario definition vs. page definition
  5. Context-aware - Workshops adapt based on project structure
