216
+ 4. **Re-offer Choice**: Present the same 9 options again until user selects 9 or gives direct feedback
237
217
 
238
- **Transition Management**
218
+ **Execution Guidelines:**
239
219
 
240
- - Always ask before switching techniques: "Ready to try a different approach?"
241
- - Offer options: "Should we explore this idea deeper or generate more alternatives?"
242
- - Respect their process and timing
243
- ==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/facilitate-brainstorming-session.md ====================
220
+ - **Be Concise**: Focus on actionable insights, not lengthy explanations
221
+ - **Stay Relevant**: Tie all elicitation back to the specific content being analyzed
222

707
- - The entire section as a whole
708
- - Individual items within the section (specify which item when selecting an action)
709
-
710
- ### 3. Present Elicitation Options
711
-
712
- **Review Request Process:**
713
-
714
- - Ask the user to review the drafted section
715
- - In the SAME message, inform them they can suggest direct changes OR select an elicitation method
716
- - Present 9 intelligently selected methods (0-8) plus "Proceed" (9)
717
- - Keep descriptions short - just the method name
718
- - Await simple numeric selection
719
-
720
- **Action List Presentation Format:**
721
-
722
- ```text

736
- ```
737
-
738
- **Response Handling:**
739
-
740
- - **Numbers 0-8**: Execute the selected method, then re-offer the choice
741
- - **Number 9**: Proceed to next section or continue conversation
742
- - **Direct Feedback**: Apply user's suggested changes and continue
743
-
744
- ### 4. Method Execution Framework
745
-
746
- **Execution Process:**
747
-
748
- 1. **Retrieve Method**: Access the specific elicitation method from the elicitation-methods data file
749
- 2. **Apply Context**: Execute the method from your current role's perspective
750
- 3. **Provide Results**: Deliver insights, critiques, or alternatives relevant to the content
751
- 4. **Re-offer Choice**: Present the same 9 options again until user selects 9 or gives direct feedback
752
-
753
- **Execution Guidelines:**
754
-
755
- - **Be Concise**: Focus on actionable insights, not lengthy explanations
756
- - **Stay Relevant**: Tie all elicitation back to the specific content being analyzed
757
- - **Identify Personas**: For multi-persona methods, clearly identify which viewpoint is speaking
758
- - **Maintain Flow**: Keep the process moving efficiently

764
- ## Purpose
765
-
766
- Generate comprehensive documentation for existing projects optimized for AI development agents. This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase.

- ### 1. Initial Project Analysis
771
-
772
- **CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only.
773
-
774
- **IF PRD EXISTS**:
775
-
776
- - Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned
777
- - Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected
778
- - Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas
779
- - Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean
780
-
781
- **IF NO PRD EXISTS**:
782
- Ask the user:
783
-
784
- "I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options:
785
-
786
- 1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas.

984
+ 3. Random technique selection for creative variety
985
+ 4. Progressive technique flow (start broad, narrow down)
986
+
987
+ ### Step 3: Execute Techniques Interactively
988
+
989
+ **KEY PRINCIPLES:**
990
+
991
+ - **FACILITATOR ROLE**: Guide user to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples
992
+ - **CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT**: Keep user engaged with chosen technique until they want to switch or are satisfied
993
+ - **CAPTURE OUTPUT**: If (default) document output requested, capture all ideas generated in each technique section to the document from the beginning.
994
+
995
+ **Technique Selection:**
996
+ If user selects Option 1, present numbered list of techniques from the brainstorming-techniques data file. User can select by number..
997
+
998
+ **Technique Execution:**
999
+
1000
+ 1. Apply selected technique according to data file description
1001
+ 2. Keep engaging with technique until user indicates they want to:
1002
+ - Choose a different technique
1003
+ - Apply current ideas to a new technique
1004
+ - Move to convergent phase
1005
+ - End session
1006
+
1007
+ **Output Capture (if requested):**
1008
+ For each technique used, capture:
1009
+
1010
+ - Technique name and duration
1011
+ - Key ideas generated by user
1012
+ - Insights and patterns identified
1013
+ - User's reflections on the process
1014
+
1015
+ ### Step 4: Session Flow
1016
+
1017
+ 1. **Warm-up** (5-10 min) - Build creative confidence
1018
+ 2. **Divergent** (20-30 min) - Generate quantity over quality
1019
+ 3. **Convergent** (15-20 min) - Group and categorize ideas
1020
+ 4. **Synthesis** (10-15 min) - Refine and develop concepts
1021
+
1022
+ ### Step 5: Document Output (if requested)
1023
+
1024
+ Generate structured document with these sections:
1025
+
1026
+ **Executive Summary**
1027
+
1028
+ - Session topic and goals
1029
+ - Techniques used and duration
1030
+ - Total ideas generated
1031
+ - Key themes and patterns identified
1032
+
1033
+ **Technique Sections** (for each technique used)
1034
+
1035
+ - Technique name and description
1036
+ - Ideas generated (user's own words)
1037
+ - Insights discovered
1038
+ - Notable connections or patterns
1039
+
1040
+ **Idea Categorization**
1041
+
1042
+ - **Immediate Opportunities** - Ready to implement now
1043
+ - **Future Innovations** - Requires development/research
1044
+ - **Moonshots** - Ambitious, transformative concepts
1045
+ - **Insights & Learnings** - Key realizations from session
1046
+
1047
+ **Action Planning**
1048
+
1049
+ - Top 3 priority ideas with rationale
1050
+ - Next steps for each priority
1051
+ - Resources/research needed
1052
+ - Timeline considerations
1053
+
1054
+ **Reflection & Follow-up**
1055
+
1056
+ - What worked well in this session
1057
+ - Areas for further exploration
1058
+ - Recommended follow-up techniques
1059
+ - Questions that emerged for future sessions
1060
+
1061
+ ## Key Principles
1062
+
1063
+ - **YOU ARE A FACILITATOR**: Guide the user to brainstorm, don't brainstorm for them (unless they request it persistently)
1064
+ - **INTERACTIVE DIALOGUE**: Ask questions, wait for responses, build on their ideas
1065
+ - **ONE TECHNIQUE AT A TIME**: Don't mix multiple techniques in one response
1066
+ - **CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT**: Stay with one technique until user wants to switch
1067
+ - **DRAW IDEAS OUT**: Use prompts and examples to help them generate their own ideas
1068
+ - **REAL-TIME ADAPTATION**: Monitor engagement and adjust approach as needed
1069
+ - Maintain energy and momentum
1070
+ - Defer judgment during generation
1071
+ - Quantity leads to quality (aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes)
1072
+ - Build on ideas collaboratively
1073
+ - Document everything in output document
1074
+
1075
+ ## Advanced Engagement Strategies
1076
+
1077
+ **Energy Management**
1078
+
1079
+ - Check engagement levels: "How are you feeling about this direction?"
1080
+ - Offer breaks or technique switches if energy flags
1081
+ - Use encouraging language and celebrate idea generation
1082
+
1083
+ **Depth vs. Breadth**
1084
+
1085
+ - Ask follow-up questions to deepen ideas: "Tell me more about that..."
1086
+ - Use "Yes, and..." to build on their ideas
1087
+ - Help them make connections: "How does this relate to your earlier idea about...?"
1088
+
1089
+ **Transition Management**
1090
+
1091
+ - Always ask before switching techniques: "Ready to try a different approach?"
1092
+ - Offer options: "Should we explore this idea deeper or generate more alternatives?"
1093
+ - Respect their process and timing
