-# Brainstorming Techniques Task
-
-This task provides a comprehensive toolkit of creative brainstorming techniques for ideation and innovative thinking. The analyst can use these techniques to facilitate productive brainstorming sessions with users.
-
-## Process
-
-### 1. Session Setup
-
-[[LLM: Begin by understanding the brainstorming context and goals. Ask clarifying questions if needed to determine the best approach.]]
-
-1. **Establish Context**
-
-   - Understand the problem space or opportunity area
-   - Identify any constraints or parameters
-   - Determine session goals (divergent exploration vs. focused ideation)
-
-2. **Select Technique Approach**
-   - Option A: User selects specific techniques
-   - Option B: Analyst recommends techniques based on context
-   - Option C: Random technique selection for creative variety
-   - Option D: Progressive technique flow (start broad, narrow down)
-
-### 2. Core Brainstorming Techniques
-
-#### Creative Expansion Techniques
-
-1. **"What If" Scenarios**
-   [[LLM: Generate provocative what-if questions that challenge assumptions and expand thinking beyond current limitations.]]
-
-   - What if we had unlimited resources?
-   - What if this problem didn't exist?
-   - What if we approached this from a child's perspective?
-   - What if we had to solve this in 24 hours?
-
-2. **Analogical Thinking**
-   [[LLM: Help user draw parallels between their challenge and other domains, industries, or natural systems.]]
-
-   - "How might this work like [X] but for [Y]?"
-   - Nature-inspired solutions (biomimicry)
-   - Cross-industry pattern matching
-   - Historical precedent analysis
-
-3. **Reversal/Inversion**
-   [[LLM: Flip the problem or approach it from the opposite angle to reveal new insights.]]
-
-   - What if we did the exact opposite?
-   - How could we make this problem worse? (then reverse)
-   - Start from the end goal and work backward
-   - Reverse roles or perspectives
-
-4. **First Principles Thinking**
-   [[LLM: Break down to fundamental truths and rebuild from scratch.]]
-   - What are the absolute fundamentals here?
-   - What assumptions can we challenge?
-   - If we started from zero, what would we build?
-   - What laws of physics/economics/human nature apply?
-
-#### Structured Ideation Frameworks
-
-1. **SCAMPER Method**
-   [[LLM: Guide through each SCAMPER prompt systematically.]]
-
-   - **S** = Substitute: What can be substituted?
-   - **C** = Combine: What can be combined or integrated?
-   - **A** = Adapt: What can be adapted from elsewhere?
-   - **M** = Modify/Magnify: What can be emphasized or reduced?
-   - **P** = Put to other uses: What else could this be used for?
-   - **E** = Eliminate: What can be removed or simplified?
-   - **R**= Reverse/Rearrange: What can be reversed or reordered?
-
-2. **Six Thinking Hats**
-   [[LLM: Cycle through different thinking modes, spending focused time in each.]]
-
-   - White Hat: Facts and information
-   - Red Hat: Emotions and intuition
-   - Black Hat: Caution and critical thinking
-   - Yellow Hat: Optimism and benefits
-   - Green Hat: Creativity and alternatives
-   - Blue Hat: Process and control
-
-3. **Mind Mapping**
-   [[LLM: Create text-based mind maps with clear hierarchical structure.]]
-
-   ```plaintext
-   Central Concept
-   ├── Branch 1
-   │   ├── Sub-idea 1.1
-   │   └── Sub-idea 1.2
-   ├── Branch 2
-   │   ├── Sub-idea 2.1
-   │   └── Sub-idea 2.2
-   └── Branch 3
-       └── Sub-idea 3.1
-   ```
-
-#### Collaborative Techniques
-
-1. **"Yes, And..." Building**
-   [[LLM: Accept every idea and build upon it without judgment. Encourage wild ideas and defer criticism.]]
+==================== END: .bmad-core/agents/analyst.md ====================
 
-   - Accept the premise of each idea
-   - Add to it with "Yes, and..."
-   - Build chains of connected ideas
-   - Explore tangents freely
+==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/facilitate-brainstorming-session.md ====================
+---
+docOutputLocation: docs/brainstorming-session-results.md
+template: brainstorming-output-tmpl
+---
 
-2. **Brainwriting/Round Robin**
-   [[LLM: Simulate multiple perspectives by generating ideas from different viewpoints.]]
+# Facilitate Brainstorming Session Task
 
-   - Generate ideas from stakeholder perspectives
-   - Build on previous ideas in rounds
-   - Combine unrelated ideas
-   - Cross-pollinate concepts
+Facilitate interactive brainstorming sessions with users. Be creative and adaptive in applying techniques.
 
-3. **Random Stimulation**
-   [[LLM: Use random words, images, or concepts as creative triggers.]]
-   - Random word association
-   - Picture/metaphor inspiration
-   - Forced connections between unrelated items
-   - Constraint-based creativity
+## Process
 
-#### Deep Exploration Techniques
+### Step 1: Session Setup
 
-1. **Five Whys**
-   [[LLM: Dig deeper into root causes and underlying motivations.]]
+Ask 4 context questions (don't preview what happens next):
 
-   - Why does this problem exist? → Answer → Why? (repeat 5 times)
-   - Uncover hidden assumptions
-   - Find root causes, not symptoms
-   - Identify intervention points
+1. What are we brainstorming about?
+2. Any constraints or parameters?
+3. Goal: broad exploration or focused ideation?
+4. Do you want a structured document output to reference later? (Y/N)
 
-2. **Morphological Analysis**
-   [[LLM: Break down into parameters and systematically explore combinations.]]
+### Step 2: Present Approach Options
 
-   - List key parameters/dimensions
-   - Identify possible values for each
-   - Create combination matrix
-   - Explore unusual combinations
+After getting answers to Step 1, present 4 approach options (numbered):
 
-3. **Provocation Technique (PO)**
-   [[LLM: Make deliberately provocative statements to jar thinking.]]
-   - PO: Cars have square wheels
-   - PO: Customers pay us to take products
-   - PO: The problem solves itself
-   - Extract useful ideas from provocations
+1. User selects specific techniques
+2. Analyst recommends techniques based on context
+3. Random technique selection for creative variety
+4. Progressive technique flow (start broad, narrow down)
 
-### 3. Technique Selection Guide
+### Step 3: Execute Techniques Interactively
 
-[[LLM: Help user select appropriate techniques based on their needs.]]
+**KEY PRINCIPLES:**
 
-**For Initial Exploration:**
+- **FACILITATOR ROLE**: Guide user to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples
+- **CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT**: Keep user engaged with chosen technique until they want to switch or are satisfied
+- **CAPTURE OUTPUT**: If document output requested, capture all ideas generated in each technique section
 
-- What If Scenarios
-- First Principles
-- Mind Mapping
+**Technique Selection:**
+If user selects Option 1, present numbered list of techniques from the brainstorming-techniques data file. User can select by number (e.g., "7" for Mind Mapping).
 
-**For Stuck/Blocked Thinking:**
+**Technique Execution:**
 
-- Random Stimulation
-- Reversal/Inversion
-- Provocation Technique
+1. Apply selected technique according to data file description
+2. Keep engaging with technique until user indicates they want to:
+   - Choose a different technique
+   - Apply current ideas to a new technique  
+   - Move to convergent phase
+   - End session
 
-**For Systematic Coverage:**
+**Output Capture (if requested):**
+For each technique used, capture:
 
-- SCAMPER
-- Morphological Analysis
-- Six Thinking Hats
+- Technique name and duration
+- Key ideas generated by user
+- Insights and patterns identified
+- User's reflections on the process
 
-**For Deep Understanding:**
+### Step 4: Session Flow
 
-- Five Whys
-- Analogical Thinking
-- First Principles
+1. **Warm-up** (5-10 min) - Build creative confidence
+2. **Divergent** (20-30 min) - Generate quantity over quality
+3. **Convergent** (15-20 min) - Group and categorize ideas
+4. **Synthesis** (10-15 min) - Refine and develop concepts
 
-**For Team/Collaborative Settings:**
+### Step 5: Document Output (if requested)
 
-- Brainwriting
-- "Yes, And..."
-- Six Thinking Hats
+Generate structured document with these sections:

+**Reflection & Follow-up**
 
-### 5. Output Format
+- What worked well in this session
+- Areas for further exploration
+- Recommended follow-up techniques
+- Questions that emerged for future sessions
+
+## Key Principles
+
+- **YOU ARE A FACILITATOR**: Guide the user to brainstorm, don't brainstorm for them
+- **INTERACTIVE DIALOGUE**: Ask questions, wait for responses, build on their ideas
+- **ONE TECHNIQUE AT A TIME**: Don't mix multiple techniques in one response
+- **CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT**: Stay with one technique until user wants to switch
+- **DRAW IDEAS OUT**: Use prompts and examples to help them generate their own ideas
+- **REAL-TIME ADAPTATION**: Monitor engagement and adjust approach as needed
+- Maintain energy and momentum
+- Defer judgment during generation
+- Quantity leads to quality (aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes)
+- Build on ideas collaboratively
+- Document everything if output requested
 
-[[LLM: Present brainstorming results in an organized, actionable format.]]
+## Advanced Engagement Strategies
 
-**Session Summary:**
+**Energy Management**
 
-- Techniques used
-- Number of ideas generated
-- Key themes identified
+- Check engagement levels: "How are you feeling about this direction?"
+- Offer breaks or technique switches if energy flags
+- Use encouraging language and celebrate idea generation
 
-**Idea Categories:**
+**Depth vs. Breadth**
 
-1. **Immediate Opportunities** - Ideas that could be implemented now
-2. **Future Innovations** - Ideas requiring more development
-3. **Moonshots** - Ambitious, transformative ideas
-4. **Insights & Learnings** - Key realizations from the session
+- Ask follow-up questions to deepen ideas: "Tell me more about that..."
+- Use "Yes, and..." to build on their ideas
+- Help them make connections: "How does this relate to your earlier idea about...?"
 
-**Next Steps:**
+**Transition Management**
 
-- Which ideas to explore further
-- Recommended follow-up techniques
-- Suggested research areas
+- Always ask before switching techniques: "Ready to try a different approach?"
+- Offer options: "Should we explore this idea deeper or generate more alternatives?"
+- Respect their process and timing

+# Create Document from Template (YAML Driven)
 
-## CRITICAL RULES
+## CRITICAL: Mandatory Elicitation Format
 
-1. **Templates are PROGRAMS** - Execute every [[LLM:]] instruction exactly as written
-2. **NEVER show markup** - Hide all [[LLM:]], {{placeholders}}, @{examples}, and template syntax
-3. **STOP and EXECUTE** - When you see "apply tasks#" or "execute tasks#", STOP and run that task immediately
-4. **WAIT for user input** - At review points and after elicitation tasks
+**When `elicit: true`, ALWAYS use this exact format:**
 
-## Execution Flow
+1. Present section content
+2. Provide detailed rationale (explain trade-offs, assumptions, decisions made)
+3. Present numbered options 1-9:
+   - **Option 1:** Always "Proceed to next section"
+   - **Options 2-9:** Select 8 methods from data/elicitation-methods
+   - End with: "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"
 
-### 0. Check Workflow Plan (if configured)
+**NEVER ask yes/no questions or use any other format.**
 
-[[LLM: Check if plan tracking is enabled in core-config.yaml]]
+## Processing Flow
 
-- If `workflow.trackProgress: true`, check for active plan using utils#plan-management
-- If plan exists and this document creation is part of the plan:
-  - Verify this is the expected next step
-  - If out of sequence and `enforceSequence: true`, warn user and halt without user override
-  - If out of sequence and `enforceSequence: false`, ask for confirmation
-- Continue with normal execution after plan check
+1. **Parse YAML template** - Load template metadata and sections
+2. **Set preferences** - Show current mode (Interactive), confirm output file
+3. **Process each section:**
+   - Skip if condition unmet
+   - Check agent permissions (owner/editors) - note if section is restricted to specific agents
+   - Draft content using section instruction
+   - Present content + detailed rationale
+   - **IF elicit: true** → MANDATORY 1-9 options format
+   - Save to file if possible
+4. **Continue until complete**
 
-### 1. Identify Template
+## Detailed Rationale Requirements
 
-- Load from `templates#*` or `{root}/templates directory`
-- Agent-specific templates are listed in agent's dependencies
-- If agent has `templates: [prd-tmpl, architecture-tmpl]` for example, then offer to create "PRD" and "Architecture" documents
+When presenting section content, ALWAYS include rationale that explains:
 
-### 2. Ask Interaction Mode
+- Trade-offs and choices made (what was chosen over alternatives and why)
+- Key assumptions made during drafting
+- Interesting or questionable decisions that need user attention
+- Areas that might need validation
 
-> 1. **Incremental** - Section by section with reviews
-> 2. **YOLO Mode** - Complete draft then review (user can type `/yolo` anytime to switch)
+## Elicitation Results Flow
 
-### 3. Execute Template
+After user selects elicitation method (2-9):
 
-- Replace {{placeholders}} with real content
-- Execute [[LLM:]] instructions as you encounter them
-- Process <<REPEAT>> loops and ^^CONDITIONS^^
-- Use @{examples} for guidance but never output them
+1. Execute method from data/elicitation-methods
+2. Present results with insights
+3. Offer options:
+   - **1. Apply changes and update section**
+   - **2. Return to elicitation menu**
+   - **3. Ask any questions or engage further with this elicitation**
 
-### 4. Key Execution Patterns
+## Agent Permissions
 
-**When you see:** `[[LLM: Draft X and immediately execute tasks#advanced-elicitation]]`
+When processing sections with agent permission fields:
 
-- Draft the content
-- Present it to user
-- IMMEDIATELY execute the task
-- Wait for completion before continuing
+- **owner**: Note which agent role initially creates/populates the section
+- **editors**: List agent roles allowed to modify the section
+- **readonly**: Mark sections that cannot be modified after creation
 
-**When you see:** `[[LLM: After section completion, apply tasks#Y]]`
+**For sections with restricted access:**
 
-- Finish the section
-- STOP and execute the task
-- Wait for user input
+- Include a note in the generated document indicating the responsible agent
+- Example: "_(This section is owned by dev-agent and can only be modified by dev-agent)_"
 
-### 5. Validation & Final Presentation
+## YOLO Mode
 
-- Run any specified checklists
-- Present clean, formatted content only
-- No truncation or summarization
-- Begin directly with content (no preamble)
-- Include any handoff prompts from template
+User can type `#yolo` to toggle to YOLO mode (process all sections at once).
 
-### 6. Update Workflow Plan (if applicable)
+## CRITICAL REMINDERS
 
-[[LLM: After successful document creation]]
+**❌ NEVER:**
 
-- If plan tracking is enabled and document was part of plan:
-  - Call update-workflow-plan task to mark step complete
-  - Parameters: task: create-doc, step_id: {from plan}, status: complete
-  - Show next recommended step from plan
+- Ask yes/no questions for elicitation
+- Use any format other than 1-9 numbered options
+- Create new elicitation methods
 
-## Common Mistakes to Avoid
+**✅ ALWAYS:**
 
-❌ Skipping elicitation tasks
-❌ Showing template markup to users
-❌ Continuing past STOP signals
-❌ Combining multiple review points
+- Use exact 1-9 format when elicit: true
+- Select options 2-9 from data/elicitation-methods only
+- Provide detailed rationale explaining decisions
+- End with "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"
+==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/create-doc.md ====================
 
-✅ Execute ALL instructions in sequence
-✅ Present only clean, formatted content
-✅ Stop at every elicitation point
-✅ Wait for user confirmation when instructed

-### 1. Section Context and Review
+### Scenario 1: Template Document Creation
 
-[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a section:
+After outputting a section during document creation:
 
-1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented (e.g., "Please review the technology choices for completeness and alignment with your project needs. Pay special attention to version numbers and any missing categories.")
+1. **Section Review**: Ask user to review the drafted section
+2. **Offer Elicitation**: Present 9 carefully selected elicitation methods
+3. **Simple Selection**: User types a number (0-8) to engage method, or 9 to proceed
+4. **Execute & Loop**: Apply selected method, then re-offer choices until user proceeds
 
-2. If the section contains Mermaid diagrams, explain each diagram briefly before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The component diagram shows the main system modules and their interactions. Notice how the API Gateway routes requests to different services.")

+### 2. Section Context and Review
 
-**Do NOT show:**
+When invoked after outputting a section:
 
-- The full protocol text with `[[LLM: ...]]` instructions
-- Detailed explanations of each option unless executing or the user asks, when giving the definition you can modify to tie its relevance
-- Any internal template markup
+1. **Provide Context Summary**: Give a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented
 
-**After user selection from the list:**
+2. **Explain Visual Elements**: If the section contains diagrams, explain them briefly before offering elicitation options
 
-- Execute the chosen action according to the protocol instructions below
-- Ask if they want to select another action or proceed with option 9 once complete
-- Continue until user selects option 9 or indicates completion
+3. **Clarify Scope Options**: If the section contains multiple distinct items, inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to:
+   - The entire section as a whole
+   - Individual items within the section (specify which item when selecting an action)
 
-## Action Definitions
+### 3. Present Elicitation Options
 
-0. Expand or Contract for Audience
-   [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the content (add more detail, elaborate) or 'contract' it (simplify, clarify, make more concise). Also, ask if there's a specific target audience they have in mind. Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current role's perspective, tailored to the specified audience if provided.]]
+**Review Request Process:**
 
-1. Explain Reasoning (CoT Step-by-Step)
-   [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step thinking process, characteristic of your role, that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this content.]]
+- Ask the user to review the drafted section
+- In the SAME message, inform them they can suggest direct changes OR select an elicitation method
+- Present 9 intelligently selected methods (0-8) plus "Proceed" (9)
+- Keep descriptions short - just the method name
+- Await simple numeric selection
 
-2. Critique and Refine
-   [[LLM: From your current role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for flaws, inconsistencies, or areas for improvement, and then suggest a refined version reflecting your expertise.]]
+**Action List Presentation Format:**
 
-3. Analyze Logical Flow and Dependencies
-   [[LLM: From your role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical progression, internal consistency, and any relevant dependencies. Confirm if elements are presented in an effective order.]]
+```text
+**Advanced Elicitation Options**
+Choose a number (0-8) or 9 to proceed:
+
+0. [Method Name]
+1. [Method Name]
+2. [Method Name]
+3. [Method Name]
+4. [Method Name]
+5. [Method Name]
+6. [Method Name]
+7. [Method Name]
+8. [Method Name]
+9. Proceed / No Further Actions
+```
 
-4. Assess Alignment with Overall Goals
-   [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current content contributes to the stated overall goals of the document, interpreting this from your specific role's perspective and identifying any misalignments you perceive.]]
+**Response Handling:**
 
-5. Identify Potential Risks and Unforeseen Issues
-   [[LLM: Based on your role's expertise, brainstorm potential risks, overlooked edge cases, or unintended consequences related to the current content or proposal.]]
+- **Numbers 0-8**: Execute the selected method, then re-offer the choice
+- **Number 9**: Proceed to next section or continue conversation
+- **Direct Feedback**: Apply user's suggested changes and continue
 
-6. Challenge from Critical Perspective (Self or Other Persona)
-   [[LLM: Adopt a critical perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another role or persona (e.g., 'as a customer', 'as [Another Persona Name]'), critique the content or play devil's advocate from that specified viewpoint. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your own current persona's viewpoint, arguing against the proposal or current content and highlighting weaknesses or counterarguments specific to your concerns. This can also randomly include YAGNI when appropriate, such as when trimming the scope of an MVP, the perspective might challenge the need for something to cut MVP scope.]]
+### 4. Method Execution Framework
 
-7. Explore Diverse Alternatives (ToT-Inspired)
-   [[LLM: From your role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches or solutions to the current topic. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2 distinct alternatives, detailing the pros, cons, and potential implications you foresee for each.]]
+**Execution Process:**
 
-8. Hindsight is 20/20: The 'If Only...' Reflection
-   [[LLM: In your current persona, imagine it's a retrospective for a project based on the current content. What's the one 'if only we had known/done X...' that your role would humorously or dramatically highlight, along with the imagined consequences?]]
+1. **Retrieve Method**: Access the specific elicitation method from the elicitation-methods data file
+2. **Apply Context**: Execute the method from your current role's perspective
+3. **Provide Results**: Deliver insights, critiques, or alternatives relevant to the content
+4. **Re-offer Choice**: Present the same 9 options again until user selects 9 or gives direct feedback
 
-9. Proceed / No Further Actions
-   [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]]
-==================== END: tasks#advanced-elicitation ====================
+**Execution Guidelines:**
+
+- **Be Concise**: Focus on actionable insights, not lengthy explanations
+- **Stay Relevant**: Tie all elicitation back to the specific content being analyzed
+- **Identify Personas**: For multi-persona methods, clearly identify which viewpoint is speaking
+- **Maintain Flow**: Keep the process moving efficiently

 - Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture)
 - Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini)
 - Brainstorming and analysis phases
 - Multi-agent consultation and planning

 **Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs:
 
 **Pros of IDE-Only**:
+
 - Single environment workflow
 - Direct file operations from start
 - No copy/paste between environments
 - Immediate project integration
 
 **Cons of IDE-Only**:
+
 - Higher token costs for large document creation
 - Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model)
 - May hit limits during planning phases
 - Less cost-effective for brainstorming
 
 **Using Web Agents in IDE**:
+
 - **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts
 - **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context
 - **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization
 
 **About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**:
+
 - **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT...
 - **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results
 - **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs
 - **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but...
 
 **CRITICAL RULE for Development**:
+
 - **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator
 - **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator
 - **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow
 - **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM → Dev for implementation
 
 **Best Practice for IDE-Only**:

 1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master)

 ### Key Architectural Components
 
 #### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`)
+
 - **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.)
 - **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies
 - **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use
 - **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context
 
 #### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`)
+
 - **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes
 - **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development)
 - **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments
 
 #### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`)
+
 - **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types
 - **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development
 - **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions
 
 #### 4. Reusable Resources
+
 - **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories
 - **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story"
 - **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review

+## Structured Frameworks
 
-Templates in the BMad method use standardized markup for AI processing. These conventions ensure consistent document generation.
+5. **SCAMPER Method**: Go through one letter at a time, wait for their ideas before moving to next
+6. **Six Thinking Hats**: Present one hat, ask for their thoughts, then move to next hat
+7. **Mind Mapping**: Start with central concept, ask them to suggest branches
 
-## Template Markup Elements
+## Collaborative Techniques
 
-- **{{placeholders}}**: Variables to be replaced with actual content
-- **[[LLM: instructions]]**: Internal processing instructions for AI agents (never shown to users)
-- **REPEAT** sections: Content blocks that may be repeated as needed
-- **^^CONDITION^^** blocks: Conditional content included only if criteria are met
-- **@{examples}**: Example content for guidance (never output to users)
+8. **"Yes, And..." Building**: They give idea, you "yes and" it, they "yes and" back - alternate
+9. **Brainwriting/Round Robin**: They suggest idea, you build on it, ask them to build on yours
+10. **Random Stimulation**: Give one random prompt/word, ask them to make connections
 
-## Processing Rules
+## Deep Exploration
 
-- Replace all {{placeholders}} with project-specific content
-- Execute all [[LLM: instructions]] internally without showing users
-- Process conditional and repeat blocks as specified
-- Use examples for guidance but never include them in final output
-- Present only clean, formatted content to users
+11. **Five Whys**: Ask "why" and wait for their answer before asking next "why"
+12. **Morphological Analysis**: Ask them to list parameters first, then explore combinations together
+13. **Provocation Technique (PO)**: Give one provocative statement, ask them to extract useful ideas
 
-## Critical Guidelines
+## Advanced Techniques
 
-- **NEVER display template markup, LLM instructions, or examples to users**
-- Template elements are for AI processing only
-- Focus on faithful template execution and clean output
-- All template-specific instructions are embedded within templates
