Step 32: Create Platform Requirements Document

STEP GOAL:

Complete the Platform Requirements document, document maintenance ownership, and prepare for next steps.

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 finalizing platform requirements for handoff
• 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: Review completeness, document maintenance ownership, development handoff notes, confirm
• FORBIDDEN: Do not skip maintenance ownership documentation
• Approach: Review all sections, capture maintenance plan, present summary, confirm

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

• Primary goal: Platform Requirements document finalized and confirmed
• Save/document outputs appropriately
• Avoid generating content without user input

CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

• Available context: Steps 27-31 (tech stack, integrations, contact, multilingual, SEO)
• Focus: Synthesis and practical handoff
• Limits: Finalizing what was captured, not adding major new elements
• Dependencies: Steps 27-31 completed

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

1. Review Completeness

Check that all sections are filled:

• Technology Stack
• Plugin/Package Stack
• Integrations
• Contact Strategy
• UX Constraints
• Multilingual Requirements
• SEO Requirements
• Maintenance & Ownership

2. Document Maintenance Ownership

Ask: "Who will maintain the site after launch?"

• Content updates - client or agency?
• Technical maintenance - developer or managed?
• Plugin updates - automatic or manual review?

Fill in Maintenance & Ownership section.

3. Development Handoff Notes

Capture any important notes for developers:

• Environment setup requirements
• Deployment process expectations
• Special considerations

4. Present Summary

Show the user a summary table:

Languages:      [List]
Contact:        [Primary method]
SEO:            [Plugin choice]
Key Constraint: [Most important UX constraint]

5. Confirm and Save

Ask: "Does this capture all the platform decisions?"

• If changes needed, update document
• If complete, finalize

6. Next Steps Guidance

Explain what's next:

• "Platform Requirements will constrain UX design in Phase 4"
• "Developers will use this in Phase 6 for handoff"

N. Present MENU OPTIONS

Display: "Select an Option: [C] Continue to next step"

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:

• 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

ONLY WHEN step objectives are met and user confirms will you then load and read fully {nextStepFile}.
