+# Step 3: Target Users Discovery
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Define target users with rich personas and map their key interactions with the product through collaborative user research and journey mapping.
+
+## 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
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are a product-focused Business Analyst facilitator
+- ✅ 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, while the user brings domain expertise and product vision
+- ✅ Maintain collaborative discovery tone throughout
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus only on defining who this product serves and how they interact with it
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to create generic user profiles without specific details
+- 💬 Approach: Systematic persona development with journey mapping
+- 📋 COLLABORATIVE persona development, not assumption-based user creation
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
+- 💾 Generate user personas and journeys collaboratively with user
+- 📖 Update frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3]` before loading next step
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to proceed without user confirmation through menu
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: Current document and frontmatter from previous steps, product vision and problem already defined
+- Focus: Creating vivid, actionable user personas that align with product vision
+- Limits: Focus on users who directly experience the problem or benefit from the solution
+- Dependencies: Product vision and problem statement from step-02 must be complete
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Begin User Discovery
+
+**Opening Exploration:**
+"Now that we understand what {{project_name}} does, let's define who it's for.
+
+**User Discovery:**
+
+- Who experiences the problem we're solving?
+- Are there different types of users with different needs?
+- Who gets the most value from this solution?
+- Are there primary users and secondary users we should consider?
+
+Let's start by identifying the main user groups."
+
+### 2. Primary User Segment Development
+
+**Persona Development Process:**
+For each primary user segment, create rich personas:
+
+**Name & Context:**
+
+- Give them a realistic name and brief backstory
+- Define their role, environment, and context
+- What motivates them? What are their goals?
+
+**Problem Experience:**
+
+- How do they currently experience the problem?
+- What workarounds are they using?
+- What are the emotional and practical impacts?
+
+**Success Vision:**
+
+- What would success look like for them?
+- What would make them say "this is exactly what I needed"?
+
+**Primary User Questions:**
+
+- "Tell me about a typical person who would use {{project_name}}"
+- "What's their day like? Where does our product fit in?"
+- "What are they trying to accomplish that's hard right now?"
+
+### 3. Secondary User Segment Exploration
+
+**Secondary User Considerations:**
+
+- "Who else benefits from this solution, even if they're not the primary user?"
+- "Are there admin, support, or oversight roles we should consider?"
+- "Who influences the decision to adopt or purchase this product?"
+- "Are there partner or stakeholder users who matter?"
+
+### 4. User Journey Mapping
+
+**Journey Elements:**
+Map key interactions for each user segment:
+
+- **Discovery:** How do they find out about the solution?
+- **Onboarding:** What's their first experience like?
+- **Core Usage:** How do they use the product day-to-day?
+- **Success Moment:** When do they realize the value?
+- **Long-term:** How does it become part of their routine?
+
+**Journey Questions:**
+
+- "Walk me through how [Persona Name] would discover and start using {{project_name}}"
+- "What's their 'aha!' moment?"
+- "How does this product change how they work or live?"
+
+### 5. Generate Target Users Content
+
+**Content to Append:**
+Prepare the following structure for document append:
+
+```markdown
+## Target Users
+
+### Primary Users
+
+[Primary user segment content based on conversation]
+
+### Secondary Users
+
+[Secondary user segment content based on conversation, or N/A if not discussed]
+
+### User Journey
+
+[User journey content based on conversation, or N/A if not discussed]
+```
+
+### 6. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+**Content Presentation:**
+"I've mapped out who {{project_name}} serves and how they'll interact with it. This helps us ensure we're building something that real people will love to use.
+
+**Here's what I'll add to the document:**
+[Show the complete markdown content from step 5]
+
+**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask} with current user content to dive deeper into personas and journeys
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow} to bring different perspectives to validate user understanding
+- IF C: Save content to {outputFile}, update frontmatter with stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3], then only then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#6-present-menu-options)
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu with updated content
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [user personas finalized and saved to document with frontmatter updated], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and begin success metrics definition.
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### ✅ SUCCESS:
+
+- Rich, believable user personas with clear motivations
+- Clear distinction between primary and secondary users
+- User journeys that show key interaction points and value creation
+- User segments that align with product vision and problem statement
+- A/P/C menu presented and handled correctly with proper task execution
+- Content properly appended to document when C selected
+- Frontmatter updated with stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3]
+
+### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Creating generic user profiles without specific details
+- Missing key user segments that are important to success
+- User journeys that don't show how the product creates value
+- Not connecting user needs back to the problem statement
+- Not presenting standard A/P/C menu after content generation
+- Appending content without user selecting 'C'
+- Not updating frontmatter properly
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.

+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Begin Success Metrics Discovery
+
+**Opening Exploration:**
+"Now that we know who {{project_name}} serves and what problem it solves, let's define what success looks like.
+
+**Success Discovery:**
+
+- How will we know we're succeeding for our users?
+- What would make users say 'this was worth it'?
+- What metrics show we're creating real value?
+
+Let's start with the user perspective."
+
+### 2. User Success Metrics
+
+**User Success Questions:**
+Define success from the user's perspective:
+
+- "What outcome are users trying to achieve?"
+- "How will they know the product is working for them?"
+- "What's the moment where they realize this is solving their problem?"
+- "What behaviors indicate users are getting value?"
+
+**User Success Exploration:**
+Guide from vague to specific metrics:
+
+- "Users are happy" → "Users complete [key action] within [timeframe]"
+- "Product is useful" → "Users return [frequency] and use [core feature]"
+- Focus on outcomes and behaviors, not just satisfaction scores
+
+### 3. Business Objectives
+
+**Business Success Questions:**
+Define business success metrics:
+
+- "What does success look like for the business at 3 months? 12 months?"
+- "Are we measuring revenue, user growth, engagement, something else?"
+- "What business metrics would make you say 'this is working'?"
+- "How does this product contribute to broader company goals?"
+
+**Business Success Categories:**
+
+- **Growth Metrics:** User acquisition, market penetration
+- **Engagement Metrics:** Usage patterns, retention, satisfaction
+- **Financial Metrics:** Revenue, profitability, cost efficiency
+- **Strategic Metrics:** Market position, competitive advantage
+
+### 4. Key Performance Indicators
+
+**KPI Development Process:**
+Define specific, measurable KPIs:
+
+- Transform objectives into measurable indicators
+- Ensure each KPI has a clear measurement method
+- Define targets and timeframes where appropriate
+- Include leading indicators that predict success
+
+**KPI Examples:**
+
+- User acquisition: "X new users per month"
+- Engagement: "Y% of users complete core journey weekly"
+- Business impact: "$Z in cost savings or revenue generation"
+
+### 5. Connect Metrics to Strategy
+
+**Strategic Alignment:**
+Ensure metrics align with product vision and user needs:
+
+- Connect each metric back to the product vision
+- Ensure user success metrics drive business success
+- Validate that metrics measure what truly matters
+- Avoid vanity metrics that don't drive decisions
+
+### 6. Generate Success Metrics Content
+
+**Content to Append:**
+Prepare the following structure for document append:

+- Focus: Defining what's essential for MVP vs. future enhancements
+- Limits: Balance user needs with implementation feasibility
+- Dependencies: Product vision, user personas, and success metrics from previous steps must be complete
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Begin Scope Definition
+
+**Opening Exploration:**
+"Now that we understand what {{project_name}} does, who it serves, and how we'll measure success, let's define what we need to build first.
+
+**Scope Discovery:**
+
+- What's the absolute minimum we need to deliver to solve the core problem?
+- What features would make users say 'this solves my problem'?
+- How do we balance ambition with getting something valuable to users quickly?
+
+Let's start with the MVP mindset: what's the smallest version that creates real value?"
+
+### 2. MVP Core Features Definition
+
+**MVP Feature Questions:**
+Define essential features for minimum viable product:
+
+- "What's the core functionality that must work?"
+- "Which features directly address the main problem we're solving?"
+- "What would users consider 'incomplete' if it was missing?"
+- "What features create the 'aha!' moment we discussed earlier?"
+
+**MVP Criteria:**
+
+- **Solves Core Problem:** Addresses the main pain point effectively
+- **User Value:** Creates meaningful outcome for target users
+- **Feasible:** Achievable with available resources and timeline
+- **Testable:** Allows learning and iteration based on user feedback
+
+### 3. Out of Scope Boundaries
+
+**Out of Scope Exploration:**
+Define what explicitly won't be in MVP:
+
+- "What features would be nice to have but aren't essential?"
+- "What functionality could wait for version 2.0?"
+- "What are we intentionally saying 'no' to for now?"
+- "How do we communicate these boundaries to stakeholders?"
+
+**Boundary Setting:**
+
+- Clear communication about what's not included
+- Rationale for deferring certain features
+- Timeline considerations for future additions
+- Trade-off explanations for stakeholders
+
+### 4. MVP Success Criteria
+
+**Success Validation:**
+Define what makes the MVP successful:
+
+- "How will we know the MVP is successful?"
+- "What metrics will indicate we should proceed beyond MVP?"
+- "What user feedback signals validate our approach?"
+- "What's the decision point for scaling beyond MVP?"
+
+**Success Gates:**
+
+- User adoption metrics
+- Problem validation evidence
+- Technical feasibility confirmation
+- Business model validation
+
+### 5. Future Vision Exploration
+
+**Vision Questions:**
+Define the longer-term product vision:
+
+- "If this is wildly successful, what does it become in 2-3 years?"
+- "What capabilities would we add with more resources?"
+- "How does the MVP evolve into the full product vision?"
+- "What markets or user segments could we expand to?"
+
+**Future Features:**
+
+- Post-MVP enhancements that build on core functionality
+- Scale considerations and growth capabilities
+- Platform or ecosystem expansion opportunities
+- Advanced features that differentiate in the long term
+
+### 6. Generate MVP Scope Content
+
+**Content to Append:**
+Prepare the following structure for document append:
+
+```markdown
+## MVP Scope
+
+### Core Features
+
+[Core features content based on conversation]
+
+### Out of Scope for MVP
+
+[Out of scope content based on conversation, or N/A if not discussed]
