+# Step 7: Holistic Workflow Analysis
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Perform comprehensive workflow analysis including flow validation, goal alignment assessment, optimization opportunities, and meta-workflow failure identification to provide complete compliance picture.
+
+## 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 compliance validator and quality assurance specialist
+- ✅ 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 holistic workflow analysis and optimization expertise
+- ✅ User brings their workflow and needs comprehensive assessment
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus on holistic analysis beyond template compliance
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to skip flow validation or optimization assessment
+- 💬 Approach: Systematic end-to-end workflow analysis
+- 📋 Identify meta-workflow failures and improvement opportunities
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Analyze complete workflow flow from start to finish
+- 💾 Validate goal alignment and optimization opportunities
+- 📖 Identify what meta-workflows (create/edit) should have caught
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to provide superficial analysis without specific recommendations
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: Complete workflow analysis from previous phases
+- Focus: Holistic workflow optimization and meta-process improvement
+- Limits: Analysis phase only, report generation comes next
+- Dependencies: Completed workflow.md and step validation phases
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Initialize Holistic Analysis
+
+"Beginning **Phase 3: Holistic Workflow Analysis**
+Target: `{target_workflow_name}`
+
+Analyzing workflow from multiple perspectives:
+
+- Flow and completion validation
+- Goal alignment assessment
+- Optimization opportunities
+- Meta-workflow failure analysis..."
+
+### 2. Workflow Flow Validation
+
+**A. Completion Path Analysis:**
+Trace all possible paths through the workflow:
+
+"**Flow Validation Analysis:**"
+
+- Does every step have a clear continuation path?
+- Do all menu options have valid destinations?
+- Are there any orphaned steps or dead ends?
+- Can the workflow always reach a successful completion?
+
+**Document issues:**
+
+- **Critical:** Steps without completion paths
+- **Major:** Inconsistent menu handling or broken references
+- **Minor:** Inefficient flow patterns
+
+**B. Sequential Logic Validation:**
+Check step sequence logic:
+
+- Does step order make logical sense?
+- Are dependencies properly structured?
+- Is information flow between steps optimal?
+- Are there unnecessary steps or missing functionality?
+
+### 3. Goal Alignment Assessment
+
+**A. Stated Goal Analysis:**
+Compare workflow.md goal with actual implementation:
+
+"**Goal Alignment Analysis:**"
+
+- **Stated Goal:** [quote from workflow.md]
+- **Actual Implementation:** [what the workflow actually does]
+- **Alignment Score:** [percentage match]
+- **Gap Analysis:** [specific misalignments]
+
+**B. User Experience Assessment:**
+Evaluate workflow from user perspective:
+
+- Is the workflow intuitive and easy to follow?
+- Are user inputs appropriately requested?
+- Is feedback clear and timely?
+- Is the workflow efficient for the stated purpose?
+
+### 4. Optimization Opportunities
+
+**A. Efficiency Analysis:**
+"**Optimization Assessment:**"
+
+- **Step Consolidation:** Could any steps be combined?
+- **Parallel Processing:** Could any operations run simultaneously?
+- **JIT Loading:** Are references loaded optimally?
+- **User Experience:** Where could user experience be improved?
+
+**B. Architecture Improvements:**
+
+- **Template Usage:** Are templates used optimally?
+- **Output Management:** Are outputs appropriate and necessary?
+- **Error Handling:** Is error handling comprehensive?
+- **Extensibility:** Can the workflow be easily extended?
+
+### 5. Meta-Workflow Failure Analysis
+
+**CRITICAL SECTION:** Identify what create/edit workflows should have caught
+
+"**Meta-Workflow Failure Analysis:**
+**Issues that should have been prevented by create-workflow/edit-workflow:**"
+
+**A. Create-Workflow Failures:**
+
+- Missing frontmatter fields that should be validated during creation
+- Incorrect path variable formats that should be standardized
+- Template usage violations that should be caught during design
+- Menu pattern deviations that should be enforced during build
+- Workflow type mismatches that should be detected during planning
+
+**B. Edit-Workflow Failures (if applicable):**
+
+- Introduced compliance violations during editing
+- Breaking template structure during modifications
+- Inconsistent changes that weren't validated
+- Missing updates to dependent files/references
+
+**C. Systemic Process Improvements:**
+"**Recommended Improvements for Meta-Workflows:**"
+
+**For create-workflow:**
+
+- Add validation step for frontmatter completeness
+- Implement path variable format checking
+- Add workflow type template usage validation
+- Include menu pattern enforcement
+- Add flow validation before finalization
+- **Add Intent vs Prescriptive spectrum selection early in design process**
+- **Include spectrum education for users during workflow creation**
+- **Validate spectrum consistency throughout workflow design**
+
+**For edit-workflow:**
+
+- Add compliance validation before applying changes
+- Include template structure checking during edits
+- Implement cross-file consistency validation
+- Add regression testing for compliance
+- **Validate that edits maintain intended spectrum position**
+- **Check for unintended spectrum shifts during modifications**
+
+### 6. Severity-Based Recommendations
+
+"**Strategic Recommendations by Priority:**"
+
+**IMMEDIATE (Critical) - Must Fix for Workflow to Function:**
+
+1. [Most critical issue with specific fix]
+2. [Second critical issue with specific fix]
+
+**HIGH PRIORITY (Major) - Significantly Impacts Quality:**
+
+1. [Major issue affecting maintainability]
+2. [Major issue affecting user experience]
+
+**MEDIUM PRIORITY (Minor) - Standards Compliance:**
+
+1. [Minor template compliance issue]
+2. [Cosmetic or consistency improvements]
+
+### 7. Continuation Confirmation
+
+"**Phase 5 Complete:** Holistic analysis finished
+
+- **Flow Validation:** [summary findings]
+- **Goal Alignment:** [alignment percentage and key gaps]
+- **Optimization Opportunities:** [number key improvements identified]
+- **Meta-Workflow Failures:** [number issues that should have been prevented]
+
+**Ready for Phase 8:** Comprehensive compliance report generation
+
+- All findings compiled into structured report
+- Severity-ranked violation list
+- Specific fix recommendations
+- Meta-workflow improvement suggestions
+
+**Select an Option:** [C] Continue to Report Generation [X] Exit"
+
+## Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF C: Save holistic analysis findings to report, update frontmatter, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF X: Save current findings and end with guidance for resuming
+- IF Any other comments or queries: respond and redisplay menu
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [holistic analysis complete with meta-workflow failures identified], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and begin comprehensive report generation.
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### ✅ SUCCESS:
+
+- Complete workflow flow validation with all paths traced
+- Goal alignment assessment with specific gap analysis
+- Optimization opportunities identified with prioritized recommendations
+- Meta-workflow failures documented with improvement suggestions
+- Strategic recommendations provided by severity priority
+- User ready for comprehensive report generation
+
+### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Skipping flow validation or goal alignment analysis
+- Not identifying meta-workflow failure opportunities
+- Failing to provide specific, actionable recommendations
+- Missing strategic prioritization of improvements
+- Providing superficial analysis without depth
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
