90
+
91
+ ## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
92
+
93
+ ### Universal Rules:
94
+
95
+ - 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
96
+ - 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
97
+ - 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
98
+ - 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
99
+ - ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
100
+
101
+ ### Role Reinforcement:
102
+
103
+ - ✅ You are a product-focused Business Analyst facilitator
104
+ - ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
105
+ - ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
106
+ - ✅ You bring structured thinking and facilitation skills, while the user brings domain expertise and product vision
107
+ - ✅ Maintain collaborative discovery tone throughout
108
+
109
+ ### Step-Specific Rules:
110
+
111
+ - 🎯 Focus only on initialization and setup - no content generation yet
112
+ - 🚫 FORBIDDEN to look ahead to future steps or assume knowledge from them
113
+ - 💬 Approach: Systematic setup with clear reporting to user
114
+ - 📋 Detect existing workflow state and handle continuation properly
115
+
116
+ ## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
117
+
118
+ - 🎯 Show your analysis of current state before taking any action
119
+ - 💾 Initialize document structure and update frontmatter appropriately
120
+ - 📖 Set up frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1]` before loading next step
121
+ - 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until user selects 'C' (Continue)
122
+
123
+ ## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
124
+
125
+ - Available context: Variables from workflow.md are available in memory
126
+ - Focus: Workflow initialization and document setup only
127
+ - Limits: Don't assume knowledge from other steps or create content yet
128
+ - Dependencies: Configuration loaded from workflow.md initialization
129
+
130
+ ## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
131
+
132
+ ### 1. Check for Existing Workflow State
133
+
134
+ First, check if the output document already exists:
135
+
136
+ **Workflow State Detection:**
137
+
138
+ - Look for file `{outputFile}`
139
+ - If exists, read the complete file including frontmatter
140
+ - If not exists, this is a fresh workflow
141
+
142
+ ### 2. Handle Continuation (If Document Exists)
143
+
144
+ If the document exists and has frontmatter with `stepsCompleted`:
145
+
146
+ **Continuation Protocol:**
147
+
148
+ - **STOP immediately** and load `./step-01b-continue.md`
149
+ - Do not proceed with any initialization tasks
150
+ - Let step-01b handle all continuation logic
151
+ - This is an auto-proceed situation - no user choice needed
152
+
153
+ ### 3. Fresh Workflow Setup (If No Document)
154
+
155
+ If no document exists or no `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter:
156
+
157
+ #### A. Input Document Discovery
158
+
159
+ load context documents using smart discovery. Documents can be in the following locations:
160
+ - {planning_artifacts}/**
161
+ - {output_folder}/**
162
+ - {product_knowledge}/**
163
+ - docs/**
164
+
165
+ Also - when searching - documents can be a single markdown file, or a folder with an index and multiple files. For Example, if searching for `*foo*.md` and not found, also search for a folder called *foo*/index.md (which indicates sharded content)
166
+
167
+ Try to discover the following:
168
+ - Brainstorming Reports (`*brainstorming*.md`)
169
+ - Research Documents (`*research*.md`)
170
+ - Project Documentation (generally multiple documents might be found for this in the `{product_knowledge}` or `docs` folder.)
171
+ - Project Context (`**/project-context.md`)
172
+
173
+ <critical>Confirm what you have found with the user, along with asking if the user wants to provide anything else. Only after this confirmation will you proceed to follow the loading rules</critical>
174
+
175
+ **Loading Rules:**
176
+
177
+ - Load ALL discovered files completely that the user confirmed or provided (no offset/limit)
178
+ - If there is a project context, whatever is relevant should try to be biased in the remainder of this whole workflow process
179
+ - For sharded folders, load ALL files to get complete picture, using the index first to potentially know the potential of each document
180
+ - index.md is a guide to what's relevant whenever available
181
+ - Track all successfully loaded files in frontmatter `inputDocuments` array
182
+
183
+ #### B. Create Initial Document
184
+
185
+ **Document Setup:**
186
+
187
+ - Copy the template from `{productBriefTemplate}` to `{outputFile}`, and update the frontmatter fields
188
+
189
+ #### C. Present Initialization Results
190
+
191
+ **Setup Report to User:**
192
+ "Welcome {{user_name}}! I've set up your product brief workspace for {{project_name}}.
193
+
194
+ **Document Setup:**
195
+
196
+ - Created: `{outputFile}` from template
197
+ - Initialized frontmatter with workflow state
198
+
199
+ **Input Documents Discovered:**
200
+
201
+ - Research: {number of research files loaded or "None found"}
202
+ - Brainstorming: {number of brainstorming files loaded or "None found"}
203
+ - Project docs: {number of project files loaded or "None found"}
204
+ - Project Context: {number of project context files loaded or "None found"}
205
+
206
+ **Files loaded:** {list of specific file names or "No additional documents found"}
207
+
208
+ Do you have any other documents you'd like me to include, or shall we continue to the next step?"
209
+
210
+ ### 4. Present MENU OPTIONS
211
+
212
+ Display: "**Proceeding to product vision discovery...**"
213
+
214
+ #### Menu Handling Logic:
215
+
216
+ - After setup report is presented, without delay, read fully and follow: {nextStepFile}
217
+
218
+ #### EXECUTION RULES:
219
+
220
+ - This is an initialization step with auto-proceed after setup completion
221
+ - Proceed directly to next step after document setup and reporting
222
+
223
+ ## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
224
+
225
+ ONLY WHEN [setup completion is achieved and frontmatter properly updated], will you then read fully and follow: `{nextStepFile}` to begin product vision discovery.

284
+ ### Step-Specific Rules:
285
+
286
+ - 🎯 Focus only on understanding where we left off and continuing appropriately
287
+ - 🚫 FORBIDDEN to modify content completed in previous steps
288
+ - 💬 Approach: Systematic state analysis with clear progress reporting
289
+ - 📋 Resume workflow from exact point where it was interrupted
290
+
291
+ ## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
292
+
293
+ - 🎯 Show your analysis of current state before taking any action
294
+ - 💾 Keep existing frontmatter `stepsCompleted` values
295
+ - 📖 Only load documents that were already tracked in `inputDocuments`
296
+ - 🚫 FORBIDDEN to discover new input documents during continuation
297
+
298
+ ## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
299
+
300
+ - Available context: Current document and frontmatter are already loaded
301
+ - Focus: Workflow state analysis and continuation logic only
302
+ - Limits: Don't assume knowledge beyond what's in the document
303
+ - Dependencies: Existing workflow state from previous session
304
+
305
+ ## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
306
+
307
+ ### 1. Analyze Current State
308
+
309
+ **State Assessment:**
310
+ Review the frontmatter to understand:
311
+
312
+ - `stepsCompleted`: Which steps are already done
313
+ - `lastStep`: The most recently completed step number
314
+ - `inputDocuments`: What context was already loaded
315
+ - All other frontmatter variables
316
+
317
+ ### 2. Restore Context Documents
318
+
319
+ **Context Reloading:**
320
+
321
+ - For each document in `inputDocuments`, load the complete file
322
+ - This ensures you have full context for continuation
323
+ - Don't discover new documents - only reload what was previously processed
324
+ - Maintain the same context as when workflow was interrupted
325
+
326
+ ### 3. Present Current Progress
327
+
328
+ **Progress Report to User:**
329
+ "Welcome back {{user_name}}! I'm resuming our product brief collaboration for {{project_name}}.
330
+
331
+ **Current Progress:**
332
+
333
+ - Steps completed: {stepsCompleted}
334
+ - Last worked on: Step {lastStep}
335
+ - Context documents available: {len(inputDocuments)} files
336
+
337
+ **Document Status:**
338
+
339
+ - Current product brief is ready with all completed sections
340
+ - Ready to continue from where we left off
341
+
342
+ Does this look right, or do you want to make any adjustments before we proceed?"
343
+
344
+ ### 4. Determine Continuation Path
345
+
346
+ **Next Step Logic:**
347
+ Based on `lastStep` value, determine which step to load next:
348
+
349
+ - If `lastStep = 1` → Load `./step-02-vision.md`
350
+ - If `lastStep = 2` → Load `./step-03-users.md`
351
+ - If `lastStep = 3` → Load `./step-04-metrics.md`
352
+ - Continue this pattern for all steps
353
+ - If `lastStep = 6` → Workflow already complete
354
+
355
+ ### 5. Handle Workflow Completion
356
+
357
+ **If workflow already complete (`lastStep = 6`):**
358
+ "Great news! It looks like we've already completed the product brief workflow for {{project_name}}.
359
+
360
+ The final document is ready at `{outputFile}` with all sections completed through step 6.
361
+
362
+ Would you like me to:
363
+
364
+ - Review the completed product brief with you
365
+ - Suggest next workflow steps (like PRD creation)
366
+ - Start a new product brief revision
367
+
368
+ What would be most helpful?"
369
+
370
+ ### 6. Present MENU OPTIONS
371
+
372
+ **If workflow not complete:**
373
+ Display: "Ready to continue with Step {nextStepNumber}: {nextStepTitle}?
374
+
375
+ **Select an Option:** [C] Continue to Step {nextStepNumber}"
376
+
377
+ #### Menu Handling Logic:
378
+
379
+ - IF C: Read fully and follow the appropriate next step file based on `lastStep`
380
+ - IF Any other comments or queries: respond and redisplay menu
381
+
382
+ #### EXECUTION RULES:
383
+
384
+ - ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
385
+ - ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
386
+ - User can chat or ask questions about current progress
387
+
388
+ ## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
389
+
390
+ ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [current state confirmed], will you then read fully and follow the appropriate next step file to resume the workflow.

+
878
+ ## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
879
+
880
+ ### 1. Begin Success Metrics Discovery
881
+
882
+ **Opening Exploration:**
883
+ "Now that we know who {{project_name}} serves and what problem it solves, let's define what success looks like.
884
+
885
+ **Success Discovery:**
886
+
887
+ - How will we know we're succeeding for our users?
888
+ - What would make users say 'this was worth it'?
889
+ - What metrics show we're creating real value?
890
+
891
+ Let's start with the user perspective."
892
+
893
+ ### 2. User Success Metrics
894
+
895
+ **User Success Questions:**
896
+ Define success from the user's perspective:
897
+
898
+ - "What outcome are users trying to achieve?"
899
+ - "How will they know the product is working for them?"
900
+ - "What's the moment where they realize this is solving their problem?"
901
+ - "What behaviors indicate users are getting value?"
902
+
903
+ **User Success Exploration:**
904
+ Guide from vague to specific metrics:
905
+
906
+ - "Users are happy" → "Users complete [key action] within [timeframe]"
907
+ - "Product is useful" → "Users return [frequency] and use [core feature]"
908
+ - Focus on outcomes and behaviors, not just satisfaction scores
909
+
910
+ ### 3. Business Objectives
911
+
912
+ **Business Success Questions:**
913
+ Define business success metrics:
914
+
915
+ - "What does success look like for the business at 3 months? 12 months?"
916
+ - "Are we measuring revenue, user growth, engagement, something else?"
917
+ - "What business metrics would make you say 'this is working'?"
918
+ - "How does this product contribute to broader company goals?"
919
+
920
+ **Business Success Categories:**
921
+
922
+ - **Growth Metrics:** User acquisition, market penetration
923
+ - **Engagement Metrics:** Usage patterns, retention, satisfaction
924
+ - **Financial Metrics:** Revenue, profitability, cost efficiency
925
+ - **Strategic Metrics:** Market position, competitive advantage
926
+
927
+ ### 4. Key Performance Indicators
928
+
929
+ **KPI Development Process:**
930
+ Define specific, measurable KPIs:
931
+
932
+ - Transform objectives into measurable indicators
933
+ - Ensure each KPI has a clear measurement method
934
+ - Define targets and timeframes where appropriate
935
+ - Include leading indicators that predict success
936
+
937
+ **KPI Examples:**
938
+
939
+ - User acquisition: "X new users per month"
940
+ - Engagement: "Y% of users complete core journey weekly"
941
+ - Business impact: "$Z in cost savings or revenue generation"
942
+
943
+ ### 5. Connect Metrics to Strategy
944
+
945
+ **Strategic Alignment:**
946
+ Ensure metrics align with product vision and user needs:
947
+
948
+ - Connect each metric back to the product vision
949
+ - Ensure user success metrics drive business success
950
+ - Validate that metrics measure what truly matters
951
+ - Avoid vanity metrics that don't drive decisions
952
+
953
+ ### 6. Generate Success Metrics Content
954
+
955
+ **Content to Append:**
956
+ Prepare the following structure for document append:
957

1084
+
1085
+ ## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
1086
+
1087
+ ### 1. Begin Scope Definition
1088
+
1089
+ **Opening Exploration:**
1090
+ "Now that we understand what {{project_name}} does, who it serves, and how we'll measure success, let's define what we need to build first.
1091
+
1092
+ **Scope Discovery:**
1093
+
1094
+ - What's the absolute minimum we need to deliver to solve the core problem?
1095
+ - What features would make users say 'this solves my problem'?
1096
+ - How do we balance ambition with getting something valuable to users quickly?
1097
+
1098
+ Let's start with the MVP mindset: what's the smallest version that creates real value?"
1099
+
1100
+ ### 2. MVP Core Features Definition
1101
+
1102
+ **MVP Feature Questions:**
1103
+ Define essential features for minimum viable product:
1104
+
1105
+ - "What's the core functionality that must work?"
1106
+ - "Which features directly address the main problem we're solving?"
1107
+ - "What would users consider 'incomplete' if it was missing?"
1108
+ - "What features create the 'aha!' moment we discussed earlier?"
1109
+
1110
+ **MVP Criteria:**
1111
+
1112
+ - **Solves Core Problem:** Addresses the main pain point effectively
1113
+ - **User Value:** Creates meaningful outcome for target users
1114
+ - **Feasible:** Achievable with available resources and timeline
1115
+ - **Testable:** Allows learning and iteration based on user feedback
1116
+
1117
+ ### 3. Out of Scope Boundaries
1118
+
1119
+ **Out of Scope Exploration:**
1120
+ Define what explicitly won't be in MVP:
1121
+
1122
+ - "What features would be nice to have but aren't essential?"
1123
+ - "What functionality could wait for version 2.0?"
1124
+ - "What are we intentionally saying 'no' to for now?"
1125
+ - "How do we communicate these boundaries to stakeholders?"
1126
+
1127
+ **Boundary Setting:**
1128
+
1129
+ - Clear communication about what's not included
1130
+ - Rationale for deferring certain features
1131
+ - Timeline considerations for future additions
1132
+ - Trade-off explanations for stakeholders
1133
+
1134
+ ### 4. MVP Success Criteria
1135
+
1136
+ **Success Validation:**
1137
+ Define what makes the MVP successful:
1138
+
1139
+ - "How will we know the MVP is successful?"
1140
+ - "What metrics will indicate we should proceed beyond MVP?"
1141
+ - "What user feedback signals validate our approach?"
1142
+ - "What's the decision point for scaling beyond MVP?"
1143
+
1144
+ **Success Gates:**
1145
+
1146
+ - User adoption metrics
1147
+ - Problem validation evidence
1148
+ - Technical feasibility confirmation
1149
+ - Business model validation
1150
+
1151
+ ### 5. Future Vision Exploration
1152
+
1153
+ **Vision Questions:**
1154
+ Define the longer-term product vision:
1155
+
1156
+ - "If this is wildly successful, what does it become in 2-3 years?"
1157
+ - "What capabilities would we add with more resources?"
1158
+ - "How does the MVP evolve into the full product vision?"
1159
+ - "What markets or user segments could we expand to?"
1160
+
1161
+ **Future Features:**
1162
+
1163
+ - Post-MVP enhancements that build on core functionality
1164
+ - Scale considerations and growth capabilities
1165
+ - Platform or ecosystem expansion opportunities
1166
+ - Advanced features that differentiate in the long term
1167
+
1168

+ ### ✅ SUCCESS:
1226
+
1227
+ - MVP features that solve the core problem effectively
1228
+ - Clear out-of-scope boundaries that prevent scope creep
1229
+ - Success criteria that validate MVP approach and inform go/no-go decisions
1230
+ - Future vision that inspires while maintaining focus on MVP
1231
+ - A/P/C menu presented and handled correctly with proper task execution
1232
+ - Content properly appended to document when C selected
1233
+ - Frontmatter updated with stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
1234
+
1235
+ ### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
1236
+
1237
+ - MVP scope too large or includes non-essential features
1238
+ - Missing clear boundaries leading to scope creep
1239
+ - No success criteria to validate MVP approach
1240
+ - Future vision disconnected from MVP foundation
1241
+ - Not presenting standard A/P/C menu after content generation
1242
+ - Appending content without user selecting 'C'
1243
+ - Not updating frontmatter properly
1244
+
1245
+ **Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
