+# Step 4: Desired Emotional Response
+
+## 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 defining desired emotional responses and user feelings
+- 🎯 COLLABORATIVE discovery, not assumption-based design
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
+- ⚠️ Present A/P/C menu after generating emotional response content
+- 💾 ONLY save when user chooses C (Continue)
+- 📖 Update output file frontmatter, adding this step to the end of the list of stepsCompleted.
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected
+
+## COLLABORATION MENUS (A/P/C):
+
+This step will generate content and present choices:
+
+- **A (Advanced Elicitation)**: Use discovery protocols to develop deeper emotional insights
+- **P (Party Mode)**: Bring multiple perspectives to define optimal emotional responses
+- **C (Continue)**: Save the content to the document and proceed to next step
+
+## PROTOCOL INTEGRATION:
+
+- When 'A' selected: Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml
+- When 'P' selected: Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.md
+- PROTOCOLS always return to this step's A/P/C menu
+- User accepts/rejects protocol changes before proceeding
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Current document and frontmatter from previous steps are available
+- Core experience definition from step 3 informs emotional response
+- No additional data files needed for this step
+- Focus on user feelings and emotional design goals
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Define the desired emotional responses users should feel when using the product.
+
+## EMOTIONAL RESPONSE DISCOVERY SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Explore Core Emotional Goals
+
+Start by understanding the emotional objectives:
+"Now let's think about how {{project_name}} should make users feel.
+
+**Emotional Response Questions:**
+
+- What should users FEEL when using this product?
+- What emotion would make them tell a friend about this?
+- How should users feel after accomplishing their primary goal?
+- What feeling differentiates this from competitors?
+
+Common emotional goals: Empowered and in control? Delighted and surprised? Efficient and productive? Creative and inspired? Calm and focused? Connected and engaged?"
+
+### 2. Identify Emotional Journey Mapping
+
+Explore feelings at different stages:
+"**Emotional Journey Considerations:**
+
+- How should users feel when they first discover the product?
+- What emotion during the core experience/action?
+- How should they feel after completing their task?
+- What if something goes wrong - what emotional response do we want?
+- How should they feel when returning to use it again?"
+
+### 3. Define Micro-Emotions
+
+Surface subtle but important emotional states:
+"**Micro-Emotions to Consider:**
+
+- Confidence vs. Confusion
+- Trust vs. Skepticism
+- Excitement vs. Anxiety
+- Accomplishment vs. Frustration
+- Delight vs. Satisfaction
+- Belonging vs. Isolation
+
+Which of these emotional states are most critical for your product's success?"
+
+### 4. Connect Emotions to UX Decisions
+
+Link feelings to design implications:
+"**Design Implications:**
+
+- If we want users to feel [emotional state], what UX choices support this?
+- What interactions might create negative emotions we want to avoid?
+- Where can we add moments of delight or surprise?
+- How do we build trust and confidence through design?
+
+**Emotion-Design Connections:**
+
+- [Emotion 1] → [UX design approach]
+- [Emotion 2] → [UX design approach]
+- [Emotion 3] → [UX design approach]"
+
+### 5. Validate Emotional Goals
+
+Check if emotional goals align with product vision:
+"Let me make sure I understand the emotional vision for {{project_name}}:
+
+**Primary Emotional Goal:** [Summarize main emotional response]
+**Secondary Feelings:** [List supporting emotional states]
+**Emotions to Avoid:** [List negative emotions to prevent]
+
+Does this capture the emotional experience you want to create? Any adjustments needed?"
+
+### 6. Generate Emotional Response Content
+
+Prepare the content to append to the document:
+
+#### Content Structure:
+
+When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:
+
+```markdown
+## Desired Emotional Response

+```
+
+### 7. Present Content and Menu
+
+Show the generated emotional response content and present choices:
+"I've defined the desired emotional responses for {{project_name}}. These emotional goals will guide our design decisions to create the right user experience.
+
+**Here's what I'll add to the document:**
+
+[Show the complete markdown content from step 6]
+
+**What would you like to do?**
+[A] Advanced Elicitation - Let's refine the emotional response definition
+[P] Party Mode - Bring different perspectives on user emotional needs
+[C] Continue - Save this to the document and move to inspiration analysis"
+
+### 8. Handle Menu Selection
+
+#### If 'A' (Advanced Elicitation):
+
+- Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml with the current emotional response content
+- Process the enhanced emotional insights that come back
+- Ask user: "Accept these improvements to the emotional response 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 emotional response definition
+- Process the collaborative emotional insights that come back
+- Ask user: "Accept these changes to the emotional response 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 'C' (Continue):
+
+- Append the final content to `{planning_artifacts}/ux-design-specification.md`
+- Update frontmatter: append step to end of stepsCompleted array
+- Load `./step-05-inspiration.md`

+Analyze inspiring products and UX patterns to inform design decisions for the current project.
+
+## INSPIRATION ANALYSIS SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Identify User's Favorite Apps
+
+Start by gathering inspiration sources:
+"Let's learn from products your users already love and use regularly.
+
+**Inspiration Questions:**
+
+- Name 2-3 apps your target users already love and USE frequently
+- For each one, what do they do well from a UX perspective?
+- What makes the experience compelling or delightful?
+- What keeps users coming back to these apps?
+
+Think about apps in your category or even unrelated products that have great UX."
+
+### 2. Analyze UX Patterns and Principles
+
+Break down what makes these apps successful:
+"For each inspiring app, let's analyze their UX success:
+
+**For [App Name]:**
+
+- What core problem does it solve elegantly?
+- What makes the onboarding experience effective?
+- How do they handle navigation and information hierarchy?
+- What are their most innovative or delightful interactions?
+- What visual design choices support the user experience?
+- How do they handle errors or edge cases?"
+
+### 3. Extract Transferable Patterns
+
+Identify patterns that could apply to your project:
+"**Transferable UX Patterns:**
+Looking across these inspiring apps, I see patterns we could adapt:
+
+**Navigation Patterns:**
+
+- [Pattern 1] - could work for your [specific use case]
+- [Pattern 2] - might solve your [specific challenge]
+
+**Interaction Patterns:**
+
+- [Pattern 1] - excellent for [your user goal]
+- [Pattern 2] - addresses [your user pain point]
+
+**Visual Patterns:**

+From analyzing both successes and failures in your space, here are patterns to avoid:
+
+- [Anti-pattern 1] - users find this confusing/frustrating
+- [Anti-pattern 2] - this creates unnecessary friction
+- [Anti-pattern 3] - doesn't align with your [emotional goals]
+
+Learning from others' mistakes is as important as learning from their successes."
+
+### 5. Define Design Inspiration Strategy
+
+Create a clear strategy for using this inspiration:
+"**Design Inspiration Strategy:**
+
+**What to Adopt:**
+
+- [Specific pattern] - because it supports [your core experience]
+- [Specific pattern] - because it aligns with [user needs]
+
+**What to Adapt:**
+
+- [Specific pattern] - modify for [your unique requirements]
+- [Specific pattern] - simplify for [your user skill level]
+
+**What to Avoid:**
+
+- [Specific anti-pattern] - conflicts with [your goals]
+- [Specific anti-pattern] - doesn't fit [your platform]
+
+This strategy will guide our design decisions while keeping {{project_name}} unique."
