 - **Adaptive planning**: Roadmaps are living documents, not contracts
 - **Outcome-Driven Roadmap (CORE PRINCIPLE)**: Roadmaps are organized by **Outcomes** (user abilities), not tasks. Each outcome is an "Ability to [do something]" that fulfills a user need. Tasks exist only as internal implementation details. Users validate **acceptance criteria** for outcomes, never technical tasks. This keeps validation meaningful ("Can I now do X?") rather than abstract ("Does this code look right?").
 - **User Needs as Foundation**: During Vision Discovery, capture explicit user needs as "Ability to..." statements. These become the outcomes in the roadmap. Every outcome traces back to which user need it fulfills.
-- **Acceptance Criteria Validation**: User signs off on acceptance criteria for each outcome, not on individual tasks. For each criterion, ask: "Can you do this now? Yes/No". If "No" → invoke Child Brain to analyze and fix.

+# Outcome Discovery — Mini Requirements Session (Per Outcome / Phase)
+
+Use this procedure when:
+- The user wants to add a new outcome to the roadmap
+- The user wants to pivot mid-outcome to a different outcome
+- The user is about to start an existing roadmap outcome that is still a placeholder or unclear (refine it before execution)
+
+Purpose:
+- Treat each new outcome like a mini vision session: clarify intent, do lightweight research, consult project constraints, detect skill gaps, and only then plan it onto the roadmap.
+- End with a clear decision: do it now vs schedule it for later (and confirm priority).
+
+---
+
+## Step OD.1: Capture the Outcome (Freeform)
+
+Display:
+```
+🔎 Outcome Discovery
+
+Tell me the outcome you want.
+Write it as: "Ability to [do something]" if you can.
+```
+
+Use `ask_user` with `allow_freeform: true`.
+
+---
+
+## Step OD.2: Project Brain Gate (Before Planning)
+
+Before drafting acceptance criteria and demo/proof, consult Project Brain:
+- Read `.mother-brain/project-brain.md` (if it exists)
+- Apply relevant preferences/constraints:
+  - Style & tone expectations
+  - Validation checks to preserve
+  - Known integration constraints
+  - Any "do/don't" rules discovered from prior work
+
+---
+
+## Step OD.3: Adaptive Clarification Loop (Repeat Until Clear)
+
+After EACH user response:
+1. Extract domain signals and constraints:
+   - Who is the user?
+   - What is the exact ability (scope boundaries)?
+   - What data is involved (PII/orders/payments/health)?
+   - What does "done" look like (proof)?
+2. If a new/unclear domain is detected, do quick research with `web_search`:
+   - "[domain] best practices"
+   - "[domain] common pitfalls"
+   - "[domain] UX expectations"
+3. Identify likely skill needs (do we need a new skill or to invoke an existing one?)
+4. Ask the single most important next question (avoid long questionnaires).
+
+Use `ask_user` with 2-3 choices whenever discrete options exist, otherwise allow freeform.
+
+Stop the loop only when:
+- The outcome statement is unambiguous
+- Acceptance criteria can be written as testable user checks
+- A demo/proof path is clear
+
+---
+
+## Step OD.4: Draft the Outcome Package (Batch Correction)
+
+Create a draft:
+- Outcome name: `📋 Ability to ...`
+- "So that" benefit line (why this matters)
+- Acceptance criteria (3-7 items, testable by the user)
+- Demo / Proof (what will open, where, and the quick verification path)
+- Internal tasks (high-level list; implementation details only)
+
+Then ask for correction (batch, not per-line):
+
+Use `ask_user`:
+- "✅ Looks right — proceed"
+- "✏️ Needs adjustment (tell me what to change)"
+- "🔄 Actually different outcome (restart discovery)"
+
+If adjustment/restart is chosen, continue OD.3.
+
+---
+
+## Step OD.5: Skill Check (Autonomous, With Elder Brain Gate)
+
+- Scan existing project skills (`.github/skills/`) for relevant capabilities.
+- If a capability gap is detected:
+  - FIRST: Consult Elder Brain RETRIEVE for relevant gotchas/patterns:
+    - Invoke Elder Brain RETRIEVE for the domains/technologies the skill will touch
+    - If Elder Brain returns relevant info, bake it into the skill context
+  - Then invoke `skill-creator` to create/update the necessary skill(s) using:
+    - Project Brain preferences (project-specific constraints)
+    - Lightweight domain research (if needed)
+    - Elder Brain gotchas/patterns (cross-project defensive knowledge)
+  - Do not ask for permission to create the skill; do it as part of discovery.
+
+---
+
+## Step OD.6: Priority + Scheduling Decision (User Choice)
+
+Load:
+- `.mother-brain/docs/value-framework.md` (if it exists)
+- `.mother-brain/docs/vision.md` and `.mother-brain/docs/roadmap.md`
+
+Determine recommended priority:
+- If Value Framework exists: score outcome and compare to nearby outcomes
+- Otherwise: assess vision alignment, user impact, effort, dependencies
+
+Use `ask_user`:
+- "🚀 Do this next (make it the active/next outcome)"
+- "🗓 Add to roadmap for later (keep current plan)"
+- "📌 Adjust priority (tell me higher/lower)"
+
+If "Adjust priority":
+- Ask for brief rationale (freeform), apply the override, and (if repeated) flag for Value Framework weight adjustment.
+
+---
+
+## Step OD.7: Write It Into the Roadmap
+
+- Insert (or refine) the outcome in `.mother-brain/docs/roadmap.md` with:
+  - Acceptance criteria checklist
+  - Demo / Proof section
+  - Priority score / note
+  - Internal tasks list
+- If it belongs in a new phase, create the phase section and explain why (briefly).
+
+Update `.mother-brain/session-state.json`:
+- If "Do this next": set the new outcome as active
+- Otherwise: keep current outcome, just record that a new outcome was added
+
+Return control to the menu the user came from:
+- If called from Roadmap (Layer 2): return to Step 11
+- If called from Outcome work (Layer 3 pivot): return to Step 10E (or Step 11 if the user navigated up)
+
+---
+
+Key rules:
+- Discovery happens BEFORE planning/execution for a new outcome.
+- Always provide the do-now vs later choice after discovery.
+- Keep questions tight: one meaningful question per loop.

    - Update task document with final status
    - Update roadmap checklist
    
+   - **Post-outcome wrap-up + commit discipline (order matters)**:
+     1. Run Steps 10B and 10C (mandatory learning + documentation checkpoint)
+     2. If the outcome was accepted, run the outcome-level retrospective:
+        - Invoke Child Brain (post-delivery retrospective)
+        - Apply any approved Mother Brain / Project Brain / skill updates
+     3. If the repo is a git repo and there are uncommitted changes:
+        - Create a commit AFTER the retrospective updates are applied
+        - Then return the user to the Layer 2 Roadmap Menu
+   
    **⚠️ CRITICAL: After marking task complete, proceed through Steps 10B, 10C, and optionally 10D before returning to the Outcome Execution Menu (Layer 3).**
    
    **⛔ BLOCKING GATE - Steps 10B and 10C are MANDATORY:**
