+# Step 1: UX Design Workflow Initialization
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+
+- 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete decisions
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
+- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative discovery between UX facilitator and stakeholder
+- 📋 YOU ARE A UX FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- 💬 FOCUS on initialization and setup only - don't look ahead to future steps
+- 🚪 DETECT existing workflow state and handle continuation properly
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
+- 💾 Initialize document and update frontmatter
+- 📖 Set up frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1]` before loading next step
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until setup is complete
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Variables from workflow.md are available in memory
+- Previous context = what's in output document + frontmatter
+- Don't assume knowledge from other steps
+- Input document discovery happens in this step
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Initialize the UX design workflow by detecting continuation state and setting up the design specification document.
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Check for Existing Workflow
+
+First, check if the output document already exists:
+
+- Look for file at `{planning_artifacts}/ux-design-specification.md`
+- If exists, read the complete file including frontmatter
+- If not exists, this is a fresh workflow
+
+### 2. Handle Continuation (If Document Exists)
+
+If the document exists and has frontmatter with `stepsCompleted`:
+
+- **STOP here** and load `./step-01b-continue.md` immediately
+- Do not proceed with any initialization tasks
+- Let step-01b handle the continuation logic
+
+### 3. Fresh Workflow Setup (If No Document)
+
+If no document exists or no `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter:
+
+#### A. Input Document Discovery
+
+Discover and load context documents using smart discovery:
+
+**PRD (Priority: Analysis → Main → Sharded → Whole):**
+
+1. Check analysis folder: `{planning_artifacts}/*prd*.md`
+2. If no files: Try main folder: `{output_folder}/*prd*.md`
+3. If no main files: Check for sharded PRD folder: `**/*prd*/**/*.md`
+4. If sharded folder exists: Load EVERY file in that folder completely for UX context
+5. Add discovered files to `inputDocuments` frontmatter
+
+**Product Brief (Priority: Analysis → Main → Sharded → Whole):**
+
+1. Check analysis folder: `{planning_artifacts}/*brief*.md`
+2. If no analysis files: Try main folder: `{output_folder}/*brief*.md`
+3. If no main files: Check for sharded brief folder: `**/*brief*/**/*.md`
+4. If sharded folder exists: Load EVERY file in that folder completely
+5. Add discovered files to `inputDocuments` frontmatter
+
+**Research Documents (Priority: Analysis → Main → Sharded → Whole):**
+
+1. Check analysis folder: `{planning_artifacts}/research/*research*.md`
+2. If no analysis files: Try main folder: `{output_folder}/*research*.md`
+3. If no main files: Check for sharded research folder: `{output_folder}/*research*/**/*.md`
+4. Load useful research files completely
+5. Add discovered files to `inputDocuments` frontmatter
+
+**Other Context (Priority: Analysis → Main → Sharded):**
+
+- Epics: `{output_folder}/analysis/*epic*.md` or `{output_folder}/*epic*.md` or `{output_folder}/*epic*/**/*.md`
+- Brainstorming: `{output_folder}/analysis/brainstorming/*brainstorming*.md` or `{output_folder}/*brainstorming*.md`
+
+**Loading Rules:**
+
+- Load ALL discovered files completely (no offset/limit)
+- For sharded folders, load ALL files to get complete picture
+- Track all successfully loaded files in frontmatter `inputDocuments` array
+
+#### B. Create Initial Document
+
+Copy the template from `{installed_path}/ux-design-template.md` to `{planning_artifacts}/ux-design-specification.md`
+Initialize frontmatter with:
+
+```yaml
+---
+stepsCompleted: []
+inputDocuments: []
+workflowType: 'ux-design'
+lastStep: 0
+project_name: '{{project_name}}'
+user_name: '{{user_name}}'
+date: '{{date}}'
+---
+```
+
+#### C. Complete Initialization and Report
+
+Complete setup and report to user:
+
+**Document Setup:**
+
+- Created: `{planning_artifacts}/ux-design-specification.md` from template
+- Initialized frontmatter with workflow state
+
+**Input Documents Discovered:**
+Report what was found:
+"Welcome {{user_name}}! I've set up your UX design workspace for {{project_name}}.
+
+**Documents Found:**
+
+- PRD: {number of PRD files loaded or "None found"}
+- Product brief: {number of brief files loaded or "None found"}
+- Other context: {number of other files loaded or "None found"}
+
+**Files loaded:** {list of specific file names or "No additional documents found"}
+
+Do you have any other documents you'd like me to include, or shall we continue to the next step?
+
+[C] Continue to UX discovery"
+
+## NEXT STEP:
+
+After user selects [C] to continue, load `./step-02-discovery.md` to begin the UX discovery phase.
+
+Remember: Do NOT proceed to step-02 until output file has been updated and user explicitly selects [C] to continue!
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS:
+
+✅ Existing workflow detected and handed off to step-01b correctly
+✅ Fresh workflow initialized with template and frontmatter
+✅ Input documents discovered and loaded using sharded-first logic
+✅ All discovered files tracked in frontmatter `inputDocuments`
+✅ User confirmed document setup and can proceed
+
+## FAILURE MODES:
+
+❌ Proceeding with fresh initialization when existing workflow exists
+❌ Not updating frontmatter with discovered input documents
+❌ Creating document without proper template
+❌ Not checking sharded folders first before whole files
+❌ Not reporting what documents were found to user
+
+❌ **CRITICAL**: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions
+❌ **CRITICAL**: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file
+❌ **CRITICAL**: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols

+# Step 1B: UX Design Workflow Continuation
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+
+- 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete decisions
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
+- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative discovery between UX facilitator and stakeholder
+- 📋 YOU ARE A UX FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- 💬 FOCUS on understanding where we left off and continuing appropriately
+- 🚪 RESUME workflow from exact point where it was interrupted
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Show your analysis of current state before taking action
+- 💾 Keep existing frontmatter `stepsCompleted` values
+- 📖 Only load documents that were already tracked in `inputDocuments`
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to modify content completed in previous steps
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Current document and frontmatter are already loaded
+- Previous context = complete document + existing frontmatter
+- Input documents listed in frontmatter were already processed
+- Last completed step = `lastStep` value from frontmatter
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Resume the UX design workflow from where it was left off, ensuring smooth continuation.
+
+## CONTINUATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Analyze Current State
+
+Review the frontmatter to understand:
+
+- `stepsCompleted`: Which steps are already done
+- `lastStep`: The most recently completed step number
+- `inputDocuments`: What context was already loaded
+- All other frontmatter variables
+
+### 2. Load All Input Documents
+
+Reload the context documents listed in `inputDocuments`:
+
+- For each document in `inputDocuments`, load the complete file
+- This ensures you have full context for continuation
+- Don't discover new documents - only reload what was previously processed
+
+### 3. Summarize Current Progress
+
+Welcome the user back and provide context:
+"Welcome back {{user_name}}! I'm resuming our UX design collaboration for {{project_name}}.
+
+**Current Progress:**
+
+- Steps completed: {stepsCompleted}
+- Last worked on: Step {lastStep}
+- Context documents available: {len(inputDocuments)} files
+- Current UX design specification is ready with all completed sections
+
+**Document Status:**
+
+- Current UX design document is ready with all completed sections
+- Ready to continue from where we left off
+
+Does this look right, or do you want to make any adjustments before we proceed?"
+
+### 4. Determine Next Step
+
+Based on `lastStep` value, determine which step to load next:
+
+- If `lastStep = 1` → Load `./step-02-discovery.md`
+- If `lastStep = 2` → Load `./step-03-core-experience.md`
+- If `lastStep = 3` → Load `./step-04-emotional-response.md`
+- Continue this pattern for all steps
+- If `lastStep` indicates final step → Workflow already complete
+
+### 5. Present Continuation Options
+
+After presenting current progress, ask:
+"Ready to continue with Step {nextStepNumber}: {nextStepTitle}?
+
+[C] Continue to Step {nextStepNumber}"
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS:
+
+✅ All previous input documents successfully reloaded
+✅ Current workflow state accurately analyzed and presented
+✅ User confirms understanding of progress
+✅ Correct next step identified and prepared for loading
+
+## FAILURE MODES:
+
+❌ Discovering new input documents instead of reloading existing ones
+❌ Modifying content from already completed steps
+❌ Loading wrong next step based on `lastStep` value
+❌ Proceeding without user confirmation of current state
+
+❌ **CRITICAL**: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions
+❌ **CRITICAL**: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file
+❌ **CRITICAL**: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols
+
+## WORKFLOW ALREADY COMPLETE?
+
+If `lastStep` indicates the final step is completed:
+"Great news! It looks like we've already completed the UX design workflow for {{project_name}}.
+
+The final UX design specification is ready at {output_folder}/ux-design-specification.md with all sections completed through step {finalStepNumber}.
+
+The complete UX design includes visual foundations, user flows, and design specifications ready for implementation.
+
+Would you like me to:
+
+- Review the completed UX design specification with you
+- Suggest next workflow steps (like wireframe generation or architecture)
+- Start a new UX design revision
+
+What would be most helpful?"
+
+## NEXT STEP:
+
+After user confirms they're ready to continue, load the appropriate next step file based on the `lastStep` value from frontmatter.
+
+Remember: Do NOT load the next step until user explicitly selects [C] to continue!

+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Understand the project context, target users, and what makes this product special from a UX perspective.
+
+## PROJECT DISCOVERY SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Review Loaded Context
+
+Start by analyzing what we know from the loaded documents:
+"Based on the project documentation we have loaded, let me confirm what I'm understanding about {{project_name}}.
+
+**From the documents:**
+{summary of key insights from loaded PRD, briefs, and other context documents}
+
+**Target Users:**
+{summary of user information from loaded documents}
+
+**Key Features/Goals:**
+{summary of main features and goals from loaded documents}
+
+Does this match your understanding? Are there any corrections or additions you'd like to make?"
+
+### 2. Fill Context Gaps (If no documents or gaps exist)
+
+If no documents were loaded or key information is missing:
+"Since we don't have complete documentation, let's start with the essentials:
+
+**What are you building?** (Describe your product in 1-2 sentences)
+
+**Who is this for?** (Describe your ideal user or target audience)
+
+**What makes this special or different?** (What's the unique value proposition?)
+
+**What's the main thing users will do with this?** (Core user action or goal)"
+
+### 3. Explore User Context Deeper
+
+Dive into user understanding:
+"Let me understand your users better to inform the UX design:
+
+**User Context Questions:**
+
+- What problem are users trying to solve?
+- What frustrates them with current solutions?
+- What would make them say 'this is exactly what I needed'?
+- How tech-savvy are your target users?
+- What devices will they use most?
+- When/where will they use this product?"
+
+### 4. Identify UX Design Challenges
+
+Surface the key UX challenges to address:
+"From what we've discussed, I'm seeing some key UX design considerations:
+
+**Design Challenges:**
+
+- [Identify 2-3 key UX challenges based on project type and user needs]
+- [Note any platform-specific considerations]
+- [Highlight any complex user flows or interactions]
+
+**Design Opportunities:**
+
+- [Identify 2-3 areas where great UX could create competitive advantage]
+- [Note any opportunities for innovative UX patterns]
+
+Does this capture the key UX considerations we need to address?"
+
+### 5. Generate Project Understanding Content
+
+Prepare the content to append to the document:
+
+#### Content Structure:
+
+When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:
+
+```markdown

+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Define the core user experience, platform requirements, and what makes the interaction effortless.
+
+## CORE EXPERIENCE DISCOVERY SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Define Core User Action
+
+Start by identifying the most important user interaction:
+"Now let's dig into the heart of the user experience for {{project_name}}.
+
+**Core Experience Questions:**
+
+- What's the ONE thing users will do most frequently?
+- What user action is absolutely critical to get right?
+- What should be completely effortless for users?
+- If we nail one interaction, everything else follows - what is it?
+
+Think about the core loop or primary action that defines your product's value."
+
+### 2. Explore Platform Requirements
+
+Determine where and how users will interact:
+"Let's define the platform context for {{project_name}}:
+
+**Platform Questions:**
+
+- Web, mobile app, desktop, or multiple platforms?
+- Will this be primarily touch-based or mouse/keyboard?
+- Any specific platform requirements or constraints?
+- Do we need to consider offline functionality?
+- Any device-specific capabilities we should leverage?"
+
+### 3. Identify Effortless Interactions
+
+Surface what should feel magical or completely seamless:
+"**Effortless Experience Design:**
+
+- What user actions should feel completely natural and require zero thought?
+- Where do users currently struggle with similar products?
+- What interaction, if made effortless, would create delight?
+- What should happen automatically without user intervention?
+- Where can we eliminate steps that competitors require?"
+
+### 4. Define Critical Success Moments
+
+Identify the moments that determine success or failure:
+"**Critical Success Moments:**
+
+- What's the moment where users realize 'this is better'?
+- When does the user feel successful or accomplished?
+- What interaction, if failed, would ruin the experience?
+- What are the make-or-break user flows?
+- Where does first-time user success happen?"
+
+### 5. Synthesize Experience Principles
+
+Extract guiding principles from the conversation:
+"Based on our discussion, I'm hearing these core experience principles for {{project_name}}:
+
+**Experience Principles:**
+
+- [Principle 1 based on core action focus]
+- [Principle 2 based on effortless interactions]
+- [Principle 3 based on platform considerations]
+- [Principle 4 based on critical success moments]
+
+These principles will guide all our UX decisions. Do these capture what's most important?"
+
+### 6. Generate Core Experience Content
+
+Prepare the content to append to the document:
+
+#### Content Structure:
+
+When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:
+

+[P] Party Mode - Bring different perspectives on the user experience
+[C] Continue - Save this to the document and move to emotional response definition"
+
+### 8. Handle Menu Selection
+
+#### If 'A' (Advanced Elicitation):
+
+- Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml with the current core experience content
+- Process the enhanced experience insights that come back
+- Ask user: "Accept these improvements to the core experience definition? (y/n)"
+- If yes: Update content with improvements, then return to A/P/C menu
+- If no: Keep original content, then return to A/P/C menu
+
+#### If 'P' (Party Mode):
+
+- Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.md with the current core experience definition
