-    1. **Introduce the technique** - Use the description from CSV to explain how it works
-    2. **Provide the first prompt** - Use facilitation_prompts from CSV (pipe-separated prompts)
-       - Parse facilitation_prompts field and select appropriate prompts
-       - These are your conversation starters and follow-ups
-    3. **Wait for their response** - Let them generate ideas
-    4. **Build on their ideas** - Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "What if we also..."
-    5. **Ask follow-up questions** - "Tell me more about...", "How would that work?", "What else?"
-    6. **Monitor energy** - Check: "How are you feeling about this {session / technique / progress}?"
-       - If energy is high → Keep pushing with current technique
-       - If energy is low → "Should we try a different angle or take a quick break?"
-    7. **Keep momentum** - Celebrate: "Great! You've generated [X] ideas so far!"
-    8. **Document everything** - Capture all ideas for the final report

-    The CSV provides the prompts - your role is to facilitate naturally in your unique voice.
-    </example>
+    ## Supporting Materials
     
-    Continue engaging with the technique until the user indicates they want to:

+    {{/if}}
     
-    - Switch to a different technique ("Ready for a different approach?")
-    - Apply current ideas to a new technique

-    <critical>LIVING DOCUMENT: Write to the document continuously as you discover - never wait until the end</critical>
+    - [ ] Primary user segment has specific demographic/firmographic profile
+    - [ ] User behaviors and current workflows are documented
+    - [ ] Specific pain points are tied to user segments
+    - [ ] User goals are clearly articulated
+    - [ ] Secondary segment (if applicable) is equally detailed
+    - [ ] Avoids generic personas like "busy professionals"
     
-    ## Input Document Discovery
+    ## Goals and Metrics
     
-    This workflow may reference: market research, brainstorming documents, user specified other inputs, or brownfield project documentation.
+    - [ ] Business objectives include measurable outcomes with targets
+    - [ ] User success metrics focus on behaviors, not features
+    - [ ] 3-5 KPIs are defined with clear definitions
+    - [ ] All goals follow SMART criteria (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound)
+    - [ ] Success metrics align with problem statement
     
-    **Discovery Process** (execute for each referenced document):
+    ## MVP Scope
     
-    1. **Search for whole document first** - Use fuzzy file matching to find the complete document
-    2. **Check for sharded version** - If whole document not found, look for `{doc-name}/index.md`
-    3. **If sharded version found**:
-       - Read `index.md` to understand the document structure
-       - Read ALL section files listed in the index
-       - Treat the combined content as if it were a single document
-    4. **Brownfield projects**: The `document-project` workflow always creates `{output_folder}/docs/index.md`
+    - [ ] Core features list contains only true must-haves
+    - [ ] Each core feature includes rationale for why it's essential
+    - [ ] Out of scope section explicitly lists deferred features
+    - [ ] MVP success criteria are specific and measurable
+    - [ ] Scope is genuinely minimal and viable
+    - [ ] No feature creep evident in "must-have" list
     
-    **Priority**: If both whole and sharded versions exist, use the whole document.
+    ## Technical Considerations
     
-    **Fuzzy matching**: Be flexible with document names - users may use variations in naming conventions.
+    - [ ] Target platforms are specified (web/mobile/desktop)
+    - [ ] Browser/OS support requirements are documented
+    - [ ] Performance requirements are defined if applicable
+    - [ ] Accessibility requirements are noted
+    - [ ] Technology preferences are marked as preferences, not decisions

-    Go deeper based on responses:
+    This context guide provides project-specific considerations for brainstorming sessions focused on software and product development.
     
-    - If innovative → explore the unique angle
-    - If standard → focus on execution excellence
-    - If technical → discuss key capabilities
-    - If user-focused → paint the journey
+    ## Session Focus Areas
     
-    Web research when relevant:
+    When brainstorming for projects, consider exploring:
     
-    - If they mention competitors → research current solutions
-    - If they claim innovation → verify uniqueness
-    - If they reference trends → get current data</action>
+    - **User Problems and Pain Points** - What challenges do users face?
+    - **Feature Ideas and Capabilities** - What could the product do?
+    - **Technical Approaches** - How might we build it?
+    - **User Experience** - How will users interact with it?
+    - **Business Model and Value** - How does it create value?
+    - **Market Differentiation** - What makes it unique?
+    - **Technical Risks and Challenges** - What could go wrong?
+    - **Success Metrics** - How will we measure success?

+    REMEMBER: YOU ARE A MASTER Brainstorming Creative FACILITATOR: Guide the user as a facilitator to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples. Don't brainstorm for them unless they explicitly request it.
+    </critical>
     
-    For experimental/hobby:
+    <facilitation-principles>
+      - Ask, don't tell - Use questions to draw out ideas
+      - Build, don't judge - Use "Yes, and..." never "No, but..."
+      - Quantity over quality - Aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes
+      - Defer judgment - Evaluation comes after generation
+      - Stay curious - Show genuine interest in their ideas
+    </facilitation-principles>
     
-    - "What's the ONE thing this must do to be useful?"
-    - "What would make a fun first version?"
-    - Embrace simplicity
+    For each technique:
     
-    For business ventures:
+    1. **Introduce the technique** - Use the description from CSV to explain how it works
+    2. **Provide the first prompt** - Use facilitation_prompts from CSV (pipe-separated prompts)
+       - Parse facilitation_prompts field and select appropriate prompts
+       - These are your conversation starters and follow-ups
+    3. **Wait for their response** - Let them generate ideas
+    4. **Build on their ideas** - Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "What if we also..."
+    5. **Ask follow-up questions** - "Tell me more about...", "How would that work?", "What else?"
+    6. **Monitor energy** - Check: "How are you feeling about this {session / technique / progress}?"
+       - If energy is high → Keep pushing with current technique
+       - If energy is low → "Should we try a different angle or take a quick break?"
+    7. **Keep momentum** - Celebrate: "Great! You've generated [X] ideas so far!"
+    8. **Document everything** - Capture all ideas for the final report
     
-    - "What's the smallest version that proves your hypothesis?"
-    - "What features would make early adopters say 'good enough'?"
-    - "What's tempting to add but would slow you down?"
-    - Be ruthless about scope creep
+    <example>
+    Example facilitation flow for any technique:
     
-    For enterprise:
+    1. Introduce: "Let's try [technique_name]. [Adapt description from CSV to their context]."
     
-    - "What's the pilot scope that demonstrates value?"
-    - "Which capabilities are must-have for initial rollout?"
-    - "What can we defer to Phase 2?"
+    2. First Prompt: Pull first facilitation_prompt from {brain_techniques} and adapt to their topic
+       - CSV: "What if we had unlimited resources?"
+       - Adapted: "What if you had unlimited resources for [their_topic]?"
     
-    Use this framing:
+    3. Build on Response: Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "Building on that..."
     
-    - Core features: "Without this, the product doesn't work"
-    - Nice-to-have: "This would be great, but we can launch without it"
-    - Future vision: "This is where we're headed eventually"
+    4. Next Prompt: Pull next facilitation_prompt when ready to advance
     
-    Challenge feature creep:
+    5. Monitor Energy: After 10-15 minutes, check if they want to continue or switch
     
-    - "Do we need that for launch, or could it come later?"
-    - "What if we started without that - what breaks?"
-    - "Is this core to proving the concept?"</action>
+    The CSV provides the prompts - your role is to facilitate naturally in your unique voice.
