-# Step 1: Validate Prerequisites and Extract Requirements
-
-## STEP GOAL:
-
-To validate that all required input documents exist and extract all requirements (FRs, NFRs, and additional requirements from UX/Architecture) needed for epic and story creation.
-
-## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
-
-### Universal Rules:
-
-- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
-- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
-- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
-- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
-- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
-
-### Role Reinforcement:
-
-- ✅ You are a product strategist and technical specifications writer
-- ✅ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
-- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
-- ✅ You bring requirements extraction expertise
-- ✅ User brings their product vision and context
-
-### Step-Specific Rules:
-
-- 🎯 Focus ONLY on extracting and organizing requirements
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to start creating epics or stories in this step
-- 💬 Extract requirements from ALL available documents
-- 🚪 POPULATE the template sections exactly as needed
-
-## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
-
-- 🎯 Extract requirements systematically from all documents
-- 💾 Populate {outputFile} with extracted requirements
-- 📖 Update frontmatter with extraction progress
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until user selects 'C' and requirements are extracted
-
-## REQUIREMENTS EXTRACTION PROCESS:
-
-### 1. Welcome and Overview
-
-Welcome {user_name} to comprehensive epic and story creation!
-
-**CRITICAL PREREQUISITE VALIDATION:**
-
-Verify required documents exist and are complete:
-
-1. **PRD.md** - Contains requirements (FRs and NFRs) and product scope
-2. **Architecture.md** - Contains technical decisions, API contracts, data models
-3. **UX Design.md** (if UI exists) - Contains interaction patterns, mockups, user flows
-
-### 2. Document Discovery and Validation
-
-Search for required documents using these patterns (sharded means a large document was split into multiple small files with an index.md into a folder) - if the whole document is found, use that instead of the sharded version:
-
-**PRD Document Search Priority:**
-
-1. `{planning_artifacts}/*prd*.md` (whole document)
-2. `{planning_artifacts}/*prd*/index.md` (sharded version)
-
-**Architecture Document Search Priority:**
-
-1. `{planning_artifacts}/*architecture*.md` (whole document)
-2. `{planning_artifacts}/*architecture*/index.md` (sharded version)
-
-**UX Design Document Search (Optional):**
-
-1. `{planning_artifacts}/*ux*.md` (whole document)
-2. `{planning_artifacts}/*ux*/index.md` (sharded version)
-
-Before proceeding, Ask the user if there are any other documents to include for analysis, and if anything found should be excluded. Wait for user confirmation. Once confirmed, create the {outputFile} from the {epicsTemplate} and in the front matter list the files in the array of `inputDocuments: []`.
-
-### 3. Extract Functional Requirements (FRs)
-
-From the PRD document (full or sharded), read then entire document and extract ALL functional requirements:
-
-**Extraction Method:**
-
-- Look for numbered items like "FR1:", "Functional Requirement 1:", or similar
-- Identify requirement statements that describe what the system must DO
-- Include user actions, system behaviors, and business rules
-
-**Format the FR list as:**
-
-```
-FR1: [Clear, testable requirement description]
-FR2: [Clear, testable requirement description]
-...
-```
-
-### 4. Extract Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)
-
-From the PRD document, extract ALL non-functional requirements:
-
-**Extraction Method:**
-
-- Look for performance, security, usability, reliability requirements
-- Identify constraints and quality attributes
-- Include technical standards and compliance requirements
-
-**Format the NFR list as:**
-
-```
-NFR1: [Performance/Security/Usability requirement]
-NFR2: [Performance/Security/Usability requirement]
-...
-```
-
-### 5. Extract Additional Requirements from Architecture
-
-Review the Architecture document for technical requirements that impact epic and story creation:
-
-**Look for:**
-
-- **Starter Template**: Does Architecture specify a starter/greenfield template? If YES, document this for Epic 1 Story 1
-- Infrastructure and deployment requirements
-- Integration requirements with external systems
-- Data migration or setup requirements
-- Monitoring and logging requirements
-- API versioning or compatibility requirements
-- Security implementation requirements
-
-**IMPORTANT**: If a starter template is mentioned in Architecture, note it prominently. This will impact Epic 1 Story 1.
-
-**Format Additional Requirements as:**
-
-```
-- [Technical requirement from Architecture that affects implementation]
-- [Infrastructure setup requirement]
-- [Integration requirement]
-...
-```
-
-### 6. Extract Additional Requirements from UX (if exists)
-
-Review the UX document for requirements that affect epic and story creation:
-
-**Look for:**
-
-- Responsive design requirements
-- Accessibility requirements
-- Browser/device compatibility
-- User interaction patterns that need implementation
-- Animation or transition requirements
-- Error handling UX requirements
-
-**Add these to Additional Requirements list.**
-
-### 7. Load and Initialize Template
-
-Load {epicsTemplate} and initialize {outputFile}:
-
-1. Copy the entire template to {outputFile}
-2. Replace {{project_name}} with the actual project name
-3. Replace placeholder sections with extracted requirements:
-   - {{fr_list}} → extracted FRs
-   - {{nfr_list}} → extracted NFRs
-   - {{additional_requirements}} → extracted additional requirements
-4. Leave {{requirements_coverage_map}} and {{epics_list}} as placeholders for now
-
-### 8. Present Extracted Requirements
-
-Display to user:
-
-**Functional Requirements Extracted:**
-
-- Show count of FRs found
-- Display the first few FRs as examples
-- Ask if any FRs are missing or incorrectly captured
-
-**Non-Functional Requirements Extracted:**
-
-- Show count of NFRs found
-- Display key NFRs
-- Ask if any constraints were missed
-
-**Additional Requirements:**
-
-- Summarize technical requirements from Architecture
-- Summarize UX requirements (if applicable)
-- Verify completeness
-
-### 9. Get User Confirmation
-
-Ask: "Do these extracted requirements accurately represent what needs to be built? Any additions or corrections?"
-
-Update the requirements based on user feedback until confirmation is received.
-
-## CONTENT TO SAVE TO DOCUMENT:
-
-After extraction and confirmation, update {outputFile} with:
-
-- Complete FR list in {{fr_list}} section
-- Complete NFR list in {{nfr_list}} section
-- All additional requirements in {{additional_requirements}} section
-
-### 10. Present MENU OPTIONS
-
-Display: `**Confirm the Requirements are complete and correct to [C] continue:**`
-
-#### EXECUTION RULES:
-
-- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
-- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
-- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu option
-
-#### Menu Handling Logic:
-
-- IF C: Save all to {outputFile}, update frontmatter, then read fully and follow: {nextStepFile}
-- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#10-present-menu-options)
-
-## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
-
-ONLY WHEN C is selected and all requirements are saved to document and frontmatter is updated, will you then read fully and follow: {nextStepFile} to begin epic design step.
-

-
-## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
-
-### ✅ SUCCESS:
-
-- All required documents found and validated
-- All FRs extracted and formatted correctly
-- All NFRs extracted and formatted correctly
-- Additional requirements from Architecture/UX identified
-- Template initialized with requirements
-- User confirms requirements are complete and accurate
-
-### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
-
-- Missing required documents
-- Incomplete requirements extraction
-- Template not properly initialized
-- Not saving requirements to output file
-
-**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.

-# Step 2: Design Epic List
-
-## STEP GOAL:
-
-To design and get approval for the epics_list that will organize all requirements into user-value-focused epics.
-
-## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
-
-### Universal Rules:
-

-### Step-Specific Rules:
-
-- 🎯 Focus ONLY on creating the epics_list
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to create individual stories in this step
-- 💬 Organize epics around user value, not technical layers
-- 🚪 GET explicit approval for the epics_list
-- 🔗 **CRITICAL: Each epic must be standalone and enable future epics without requiring future epics to function**
-
-## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
-
-- 🎯 Design epics collaboratively based on extracted requirements
-- 💾 Update {{epics_list}} in {outputFile}
-- 📖 Document the FR coverage mapping
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until user approves epics_list
-
-## EPIC DESIGN PROCESS:
-
-### 1. Review Extracted Requirements
-
-Load {outputFile} and review:
-
-- **Functional Requirements:** Count and review FRs from Step 1
-- **Non-Functional Requirements:** Review NFRs that need to be addressed
-- **Additional Requirements:** Review technical and UX requirements
-
-### 2. Explain Epic Design Principles
-
-**EPIC DESIGN PRINCIPLES:**
-
-1. **User-Value First**: Each epic must enable users to accomplish something meaningful
-2. **Requirements Grouping**: Group related FRs that deliver cohesive user outcomes
-3. **Incremental Delivery**: Each epic should deliver value independently
-4. **Logical Flow**: Natural progression from user's perspective
-5. **🔗 Dependency-Free Within Epic**: Stories within an epic must NOT depend on future stories
-
-**⚠️ CRITICAL PRINCIPLE:**
-Organize by USER VALUE, not technical layers:
-
-**✅ CORRECT Epic Examples (Standalone & Enable Future Epics):**
-
-- Epic 1: User Authentication & Profiles (users can register, login, manage profiles) - **Standalone: Complete auth system**
-- Epic 2: Content Creation (users can create, edit, publish content) - **Standalone: Uses auth, creates content**
-- Epic 3: Social Interaction (users can follow, comment, like content) - **Standalone: Uses auth + content**
-- Epic 4: Search & Discovery (users can find content and other users) - **Standalone: Uses all previous**
-
-**❌ WRONG Epic Examples (Technical Layers or Dependencies):**
-
-- Epic 1: Database Setup (creates all tables upfront) - **No user value**
-- Epic 2: API Development (builds all endpoints) - **No user value**
-- Epic 3: Frontend Components (creates reusable components) - **No user value**
-- Epic 4: Deployment Pipeline (CI/CD setup) - **No user value**
-
-**🔗 DEPENDENCY RULES:**
-
-- Each epic must deliver COMPLETE functionality for its domain
-- Epic 2 must not require Epic 3 to function
-- Epic 3 can build upon Epic 1 & 2 but must stand alone
-
-### 3. Design Epic Structure Collaboratively
-
-**Step A: Identify User Value Themes**
-
-- Look for natural groupings in the FRs
-- Identify user journeys or workflows
-- Consider user types and their goals
-
-**Step B: Propose Epic Structure**
-For each proposed epic:
-
-1. **Epic Title**: User-centric, value-focused
-2. **User Outcome**: What users can accomplish after this epic
-3. **FR Coverage**: Which FR numbers this epic addresses
-4. **Implementation Notes**: Any technical or UX considerations
-
-**Step C: Create the epics_list**
-
-Format the epics_list as:
-
-```
-## Epic List
-
-### Epic 1: [Epic Title]
-[Epic goal statement - what users can accomplish]
-**FRs covered:** FR1, FR2, FR3, etc.
-
-### Epic 2: [Epic Title]
-[Epic goal statement - what users can accomplish]
-**FRs covered:** FR4, FR5, FR6, etc.
-
-[Continue for all epics]
-```
-
-### 4. Present Epic List for Review
-
-Display the complete epics_list to user with:
-
-- Total number of epics
-- FR coverage per epic
-- User value delivered by each epic
-- Any natural dependencies
-
-### 5. Create Requirements Coverage Map
-
-Create {{requirements_coverage_map}} showing how each FR maps to an epic:
-
-```
-### FR Coverage Map
-
-FR1: Epic 1 - [Brief description]
-FR2: Epic 1 - [Brief description]
-FR3: Epic 2 - [Brief description]
-...
-```
-
-This ensures no FRs are missed.
-
-### 6. Collaborative Refinement
-
-Ask user:
-
-- "Does this epic structure align with your product vision?"
-- "Are all user outcomes properly captured?"
-- "Should we adjust any epic groupings?"
-- "Are there natural dependencies we've missed?"
-
-### 7. Get Final Approval
-
-**CRITICAL:** Must get explicit user approval:
-"Do you approve this epic structure for proceeding to story creation?"
-
-If user wants changes:
-
-- Make the requested adjustments
-- Update the epics_list
-- Re-present for approval
-- Repeat until approval is received
-
-## CONTENT TO UPDATE IN DOCUMENT:
-
-After approval, update {outputFile}:
-
-1. Replace {{epics_list}} placeholder with the approved epic list
-2. Replace {{requirements_coverage_map}} with the coverage map
-3. Ensure all FRs are mapped to epics
-
-### 8. Present MENU OPTIONS
-
-Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue"
-
-#### Menu Handling Logic:
-
-- IF A: Read fully and follow: {advancedElicitationTask}
-- IF P: Read fully and follow: {partyModeWorkflow}
-- IF C: Save approved epics_list to {outputFile}, update frontmatter, then read fully and follow: {nextStepFile}
-- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#8-present-menu-options)
-
-#### EXECUTION RULES:
-
-- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
-- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
-- After other menu items execution completes, redisplay the menu
-- User can chat or ask questions - always respond when conversation ends, redisplay the menu options
-
-## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
-
-ONLY WHEN C is selected and the approved epics_list is saved to document, will you then read fully and follow: {nextStepFile} to begin story creation step.
