 ## Core Workflow
-1. **NEVER write PRD immediately** - Ask 5-10 clarifying questions first
-2. **Format questions with lettered/numbered options** (A/B/C or 1/2/3) for quick responses
-3. **Generate comprehensive PRD** following structure below
-4. **Save as** `/tasks/[n]-prd-[feature-name].md` (n = 0001, 0002, etc.)
-5. **Agents** (../AGENTS.md): After saving the PRD to `/tasks/[n]-prd-[feature-name].md`, invoke the `2-generate-tasks` agent to process the PRD output and generate a granular, actionable task list for implementation.
-

-- **Target Users:** Who will use this? (Provide persona options)

+1. **Read provided context** - If user gave a file, READ IT and quote relevant parts
+2. **Ask 3-5 clarifying questions** - Use lettered options (A/B/C) for quick responses

 ## Two-Phase Process
 
-### Phase 1: High-Level Planning (STOP after this)
+### Phase 1: High-Level Planning
 1. **Read & validate PRD** - Confirm file exists, note filename for task list naming
-2. **Analyze PRD** - Extract requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, dependencies, non-functional requirements
-3. **Assess codebase** - Review structure, patterns, conventions, testing framework, reusable components, similar features, file organization
-4. **Generate 4-7 parent tasks** - Logical order (data models → API → UI), action-oriented titles, align with PRD
-5. **Save to** `/tasks/tasks-[prd-base-filename].md`
-6. **Present parent tasks** - Say: "I have generated the high-level tasks based on the PRD. Ready to generate the sub-tasks? Respond with 'Go' to proceed."
-7. **STOP - Wait for "Go" confirmation** - Incorporate any requested changes first
-
-### Phase 2: Detailed Sub-Task Generation (After "Go")
-8. **Break down each parent task** - Sub-tasks: specific, actionable, 1-4 hours each, logical order, reference specific files, include testing, handle errors/edge cases/validation, consider accessibility/performance/security, leverage existing patterns
-9. **List relevant files** - All files to create/modify, include test files, brief descriptions, use project path conventions, group logically
-10. **Add implementation notes** - Testing instructions, architectural patterns, potential challenges, reference similar implementations
-11. **Generate final output** - Markdown format below, proper numbering (1.0, 1.1, 2.0...), checkbox formatting
-12. **Save and confirm** - Write to `/tasks/tasks-[prd-base-filename].md`, confirm completion
