-
-## Workflow Process
-
-### Phase 1: Session Setup (Step 1)
-
-- Context gathering (topic, goals, constraints)
-- Domain-specific guidance if context document provided
-- Session scope definition (broad exploration vs. focused ideation)
-
-### Phase 2: Approach Selection (Step 2)
-
-- **User-Selected**: Browse and choose specific techniques
-- **AI-Recommended**: Tailored technique suggestions based on context
-- **Random Selection**: Surprise technique for creative breakthrough
-- **Progressive Flow**: Multi-technique journey from broad to focused
-
-### Phase 3: Interactive Facilitation (Step 3)
-
-- Master facilitator approach using questions, not answers
-- "Yes, and..." building methodology
-- Energy monitoring and technique switching
-- Real-time idea capture and momentum building
-- Quantity over quality focus (aim: 100 ideas in 60 minutes)
-
-### Phase 4: Convergent Organization (Step 4)
-
-- Review and categorize all generated ideas
-- Identify patterns and themes across techniques
-- Sort into three priority buckets for action planning
-
-### Phase 5: Insight Extraction (Step 5)
-
-- Surface recurring themes across multiple techniques
-- Identify key realizations and surprising connections
-- Extract deeper patterns and meta-insights
-
-### Phase 6: Action Planning (Step 6)
-
-- Prioritize top 3 ideas for implementation
-- Define concrete next steps for each priority
-- Determine resource needs and realistic timelines
-
-### Phase 7: Session Reflection (Step 7)
-
-- Analyze what worked well and areas for further exploration
-- Recommend follow-up techniques and next session planning
-- Capture emergent questions for future investigation
-
-### Phase 8: Report Generation (Step 8)
-
-- Compile comprehensive structured report
-- Calculate total ideas generated and techniques used
-- Format all content for sharing and future reference
-
-## Output
-
-### Generated Files
-
-- **Primary output**: Structured session report saved to `{output_folder}/brainstorming-session-results-{date}.md`
-- **Context integration**: Links to previous brainstorming sessions if available
-
-### Output Structure
-
-1. **Executive Summary** - Topic, goals, techniques used, total ideas generated, key themes
-2. **Technique Sessions** - Detailed capture of each technique's ideation process
-3. **Idea Categorization** - Immediate opportunities, future innovations, moonshots, insights
-4. **Action Planning** - Top 3 priorities with rationale, steps, resources, timelines
-5. **Reflection and Follow-up** - Session analysis, recommendations, next steps planning
-
-## Requirements
-
-- No special software requirements
-- Access to the CIS module configuration (`/.bmad/cis/config.yaml`)
-- Active participation and engagement throughout the interactive session
-- Optional: Domain context document for focused brainstorming
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Before Starting
-
-1. **Define Clear Intent**: Know whether you want broad exploration or focused problem-solving
-2. **Gather Context**: Prepare any relevant background documents or domain knowledge
-3. **Set Time Expectations**: Plan for 45-90 minutes for a comprehensive session
-4. **Create Open Environment**: Ensure distraction-free space for creative thinking
-
-### During Execution
-
-1. **Embrace Quantity**: Generate many ideas without self-censoring
-2. **Build with "Yes, And"**: Accept and expand on ideas rather than judging
-3. **Stay Curious**: Follow unexpected connections and tangents
-4. **Trust the Process**: Let the facilitator guide you through technique transitions
-5. **Capture Everything**: Document all ideas, even seemingly silly ones
-6. **Monitor Energy**: Communicate when you need technique changes or breaks
-
-### After Completion
-
-1. **Review Within 24 Hours**: Re-read the report while insights are fresh
-2. **Act on Quick Wins**: Implement immediate opportunities within one week
-3. **Schedule Follow-ups**: Plan development sessions for promising concepts
-4. **Share Selectively**: Distribute relevant insights to appropriate stakeholders
-
-## Facilitation Principles
-
-The AI facilitator operates using these core principles:
-
-- **Ask, Don't Tell**: Use questions to draw out participant's own ideas
-- **Build, Don't Judge**: Use "Yes, and..." methodology, never "No, but..."
-- **Quantity Over Quality**: Aim for volume in generation phase
-- **Defer Judgment**: Evaluation comes after generation is complete
-- **Stay Curious**: Show genuine interest in participant's unique perspectives
-- **Monitor Energy**: Adapt technique and pace to participant's engagement level
-
-## Example Session Flow
-
-### Progressive Technique Flow
-
-1. **Mind Mapping** (10 min) - Build the landscape of possibilities
-2. **SCAMPER** (15 min) - Systematic exploration of improvement angles
-3. **Six Thinking Hats** (15 min) - Multiple perspectives on solutions
-4. **Forced Relationships** (10 min) - Creative synthesis of unexpected connections
-
-### Energy Checkpoints
-
-- After 15-20 minutes: "Should we continue with this technique or try something new?"
-- Before convergent phase: "Are you ready to start organizing ideas, or explore more?"
-- During action planning: "How's your energy for the final planning phase?"
-
-## Customization
-
-To customize this workflow:
-
-1. **Add New Techniques**: Extend `brain-methods.csv` with additional creative methods
-2. **Modify Facilitation Style**: Adjust prompts in `instructions.md` for different energy levels
-3. **Update Report Structure**: Modify `template.md` to include additional analysis sections
-4. **Create Domain Variants**: Develop specialized technique sets for specific industries
-
-## Version History
-
-- **v1.0.0** - Initial release
