-
-- **Strategic Module Planning** - Comprehensive analysis from concept to implementation roadmap
-- **Multi-Mode Operation** - Interactive, Express, and YOLO modes for different planning needs
-- **Creative Vision Development** - Guided process for innovative module concepts and unique value propositions
-- **Architecture Design** - Detailed agent and workflow ecosystem planning with interaction models
-- **User Journey Mapping** - Scenario-based validation ensuring practical usability
-- **Technical Planning** - Infrastructure requirements, dependencies, and complexity assessment
-- **Risk Assessment** - Proactive identification of challenges with mitigation strategies
-- **Implementation Roadmap** - Phased development plan with clear deliverables and timelines
-
-## Usage

-
-## Requirements
-
-- **Creative Vision** - Initial module concept or problem domain
-- **Strategic Thinking** - Ability to plan architecture and user experience
-- **Brainstorming Results** (optional) - Previous ideation sessions enhance planning quality
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Before Starting
-
-1. **Gather Inspiration** - Research similar tools, modules, and solutions in your domain
-2. **Run Brainstorming Session** - Use ideation techniques to generate initial concepts
-3. **Define Success Criteria** - Know what "successful module" means for your context
-
-### During Execution
-
-1. **Think User-First** - Always consider the end user experience and value delivery
-2. **Be Specific** - Provide concrete examples and detailed specifications rather than abstractions
-3. **Validate Early** - Use user scenarios to test if the module concept actually works
-4. **Plan Iteratively** - Start with MVP and build complexity through phases
-
-### After Completion
-
-1. **Use as Blueprint** - Feed the brief directly into create-module workflow for implementation
-2. **Review with Stakeholders** - Validate assumptions and gather feedback before building
-3. **Update as Needed** - Treat as living document that evolves with implementation learnings
-4. **Reference During Development** - Use as north star for design decisions and scope management
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-**Issue**: Stuck on module concept or vision
-
-- **Solution**: Use creative prompts provided in the workflow
-- **Check**: Review existing modules for inspiration and patterns
-
-**Issue**: Agent or workflow architecture too complex
-
-- **Solution**: Focus on MVP first, plan enhancement phases for additional complexity
-- **Check**: Validate each component against user scenarios
-
-**Issue**: Technical requirements unclear
-
-- **Solution**: Research similar modules and their implementation approaches
-- **Check**: Consult with technical stakeholders early in planning
-
-**Issue**: Scope creep during planning
-
-- **Solution**: Use phased roadmap to defer non-essential features
-- **Check**: Regularly validate against core user scenarios and success criteria
-
-## Customization
-
-To customize this workflow:
-
-1. **Modify Template Structure** - Update template.md to add new sections or reorganize content
-2. **Extend Creative Prompts** - Add domain-specific ideation techniques in instructions.md
-3. **Add Planning Tools** - Integrate additional analysis frameworks or planning methodologies
-4. **Customize Validation** - Enhance checklist.md with specific quality criteria for your context
