-# Step 7: Defining Core Experience
-
-## 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 the core interaction that defines the product
-- 🎯 COLLABORATIVE discovery, not assumption-based design
-- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
-
-## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
-
-- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
-- ⚠️ Present A/P/C menu after generating defining experience 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 experience insights
-- **P (Party Mode)**: Bring multiple perspectives to define optimal core experience
-- **C (Continue)**: Save the content to the document and proceed to next step
-
-## PROTOCOL INTEGRATION:
-
-- When 'A' selected: Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/advanced-elicitation/workflow.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 from step 3 provides foundation
-- Design system choice from step 6 informs implementation
-- Focus on the defining interaction that makes the product special
-
-## YOUR TASK:
-
-Define the core interaction that, if nailed, makes everything else follow in the user experience.
-
-## DEFINING EXPERIENCE SEQUENCE:
-
-### 1. Identify the Defining Experience
-
-Focus on the core interaction:
-"Every successful product has a defining experience - the core interaction that, if we nail it, everything else follows.
-
-**Think about these famous examples:**
-
-- Tinder: "Swipe to match with people"
-- Snapchat: "Share photos that disappear"
-- Instagram: "Share perfect moments with filters"
-- Spotify: "Discover and play any song instantly"
-
-**For {{project_name}}:**
-What's the core action that users will describe to their friends?
-What's the interaction that makes users feel successful?
-If we get ONE thing perfectly right, what should it be?"
-
-### 2. Explore the User's Mental Model
-
-Understand how users think about the core task:
-"**User Mental Model Questions:**
-
-- How do users currently solve this problem?
-- What mental model do they bring to this task?
-- What's their expectation for how this should work?
-- Where are they likely to get confused or frustrated?
-
-**Current Solutions:**
-
-- What do users love/hate about existing approaches?
-- What shortcuts or workarounds do they use?
-- What makes existing solutions feel magical or terrible?"
-
-### 3. Define Success Criteria for Core Experience
-
-Establish what makes the core interaction successful:
-"**Core Experience Success Criteria:**
-
-- What makes users say 'this just works'?
-- When do they feel smart or accomplished?
-- What feedback tells them they're doing it right?
-- How fast should it feel?
-- What should happen automatically?
-
-**Success Indicators:**
-
-- [Success indicator 1]
-- [Success indicator 2]
-- [Success indicator 3]"
-
-### 4. Identify Novel vs. Established Patterns
-
-Determine if we need to innovate or can use proven patterns:
-"**Pattern Analysis:**
-Looking at your core experience, does this:
-
-- Use established UX patterns that users already understand?
-- Require novel interaction design that needs user education?
-- Combine familiar patterns in innovative ways?
-
-**If Novel:**
-
-- What makes this different from existing approaches?
-- How will we teach users this new pattern?
-- What familiar metaphors can we use?
-
-**If Established:**
-
-- Which proven patterns should we adopt?
-- How can we innovate within familiar patterns?
-- What's our unique twist on established interactions?"
-
-### 5. Define Experience Mechanics
-
-Break down the core interaction into details:
-"**Core Experience Mechanics:**
-Let's design the step-by-step flow for [defining experience]:
-
-**1. Initiation:**
-
-- How does the user start this action?
-- What triggers or invites them to begin?
-
-**2. Interaction:**
-
-- What does the user actually do?
-- What controls or inputs do they use?
-- How does the system respond?
-
-**3. Feedback:**
-
-- What tells users they're succeeding?
-- How do they know when it's working?
-- What happens if they make a mistake?
-
-**4. Completion:**
-
-- How do users know they're done?
-- What's the successful outcome?
-- What's next?"
-
-### 6. Generate Defining Experience Content
-
-Prepare the content to append to the document:
-
-#### Content Structure:
-
-When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:
-
-```markdown
-## 2. Core User Experience
-
-### 2.1 Defining Experience
-
-[Defining experience description based on conversation]
-
-### 2.2 User Mental Model
-
-[User mental model analysis based on conversation]
-
-### 2.3 Success Criteria
-
-[Success criteria for core experience based on conversation]
-
-### 2.4 Novel UX Patterns
-
-[Novel UX patterns analysis based on conversation]
-
-### 2.5 Experience Mechanics
-
-[Detailed mechanics for core experience based on conversation]
-```
-
-### 7. Present Content and Menu
-
-Show the generated defining experience content and present choices:
-"I've defined the core experience for {{project_name}} - the interaction that will make users love this product.
-
-**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 core experience definition
-[P] Party Mode - Bring different perspectives on the defining interaction
-[C] Continue - Save this to the document and move to visual foundation
-
-### 8. Handle Menu Selection
-
-#### If 'A' (Advanced Elicitation):
-
-- Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/advanced-elicitation/workflow.xml with the current defining experience content
-- Process the enhanced experience insights that come back
-- Ask user: "Accept these improvements to the defining experience? (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 defining experience
-- Process the collaborative experience insights that come back
-- Ask user: "Accept these changes to the defining experience? (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-08-visual-foundation.md`
-
-## APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
-
-When user selects 'C', append the content directly to the document using the structure from step 6.
-
-## SUCCESS METRICS:
-
-✅ Defining experience clearly articulated
-✅ User mental model thoroughly analyzed
-✅ Success criteria established for core interaction
-✅ Novel vs. established patterns properly evaluated
-✅ Experience mechanics designed in detail
-✅ A/P/C menu presented and handled correctly
-✅ Content properly appended to document when C selected
-
-## FAILURE MODES:
-
-❌ Not identifying the true core interaction
-❌ Missing user's mental model and expectations
-❌ Not establishing clear success criteria
-❌ Not properly evaluating novel vs. established patterns
-❌ Experience mechanics too vague or incomplete
-❌ Not presenting A/P/C menu after content generation
-❌ Appending content without user selecting 'C'
-
-❌ **CRITICAL**: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions
-❌ **CRITICAL**: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file
-❌ **CRITICAL**: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols
-
-## NEXT STEP:
-
-After user selects 'C' and content is saved to document, load `./step-08-visual-foundation.md` to establish visual design foundation.
-
-Remember: Do NOT proceed to step-08 until user explicitly selects 'C' from the A/P/C menu and content is saved!
