+description: 'Push the LLM to reconsider, refine, and improve its recent output. Use when user asks for deeper critique or mentions a known deeper critique method, e.g. socratic, first principles, pre-mortem, red team.'
+---
+
+# Advanced Elicitation
+
+**Goal:** Push the LLM to reconsider, refine, and improve its recent output.
+
+---
+
+## CRITICAL LLM INSTRUCTIONS
+
+- **MANDATORY:** Execute ALL steps in the flow section IN EXACT ORDER
+- DO NOT skip steps or change the sequence
+- HALT immediately when halt-conditions are met
+- Each action within a step is a REQUIRED action to complete that step
+- Sections outside flow (validation, output, critical-context) provide essential context - review and apply throughout execution
+- **YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the `communication_language`**
+
+---
+
+## INTEGRATION (When Invoked Indirectly)
+
+When invoked from another prompt or process:
+
+1. Receive or review the current section content that was just generated
+2. Apply elicitation methods iteratively to enhance that specific content
+3. Return the enhanced version back when user selects 'x' to proceed and return back
+4. The enhanced content replaces the original section content in the output document
+
+---
+
+## FLOW
+
+### Step 1: Method Registry Loading
+
+**Action:** Load and read `./methods.csv` and '{project-root}/_scm/_config/agent-manifest.csv'
+
+#### CSV Structure
+
+- **category:** Method grouping (core, structural, risk, etc.)
+- **method_name:** Display name for the method
+- **description:** Rich explanation of what the method does, when to use it, and why it's valuable
+- **output_pattern:** Flexible flow guide using arrows (e.g., "analysis -> insights -> action")
+
+#### Context Analysis
+
+- Use conversation history
+- Analyze: content type, complexity, stakeholder needs, risk level, and creative potential
+
+#### Smart Selection
+
+1. Analyze context: Content type, complexity, stakeholder needs, risk level, creative potential
+2. Parse descriptions: Understand each method's purpose from the rich descriptions in CSV
+3. Select 5 methods: Choose methods that best match the context based on their descriptions
+4. Balance approach: Include mix of foundational and specialized techniques as appropriate
+
+---
+
+### Step 2: Present Options and Handle Responses
+
+#### Display Format
+
+```
+**Advanced Elicitation Options**
+_If party mode is active, agents will join in._
+Choose a number (1-5), [r] to Reshuffle, [a] List All, or [x] to Proceed:
+
+1. [Method Name]
+2. [Method Name]
+3. [Method Name]
+4. [Method Name]
+5. [Method Name]
+r. Reshuffle the list with 5 new options
+a. List all methods with descriptions
+x. Proceed / No Further Actions
+```
+
+#### Response Handling
+
+**Case 1-5 (User selects a numbered method):**
+
+- Execute the selected method using its description from the CSV
+- Adapt the method's complexity and output format based on the current context
+- Apply the method creatively to the current section content being enhanced
+- Display the enhanced version showing what the method revealed or improved
+- **CRITICAL:** Ask the user if they would like to apply the changes to the doc (y/n/other) and HALT to await response.
+- **CRITICAL:** ONLY if Yes, apply the changes. IF No, discard your memory of the proposed changes. If any other reply, try best to follow the instructions given by the user.
+- **CRITICAL:** Re-present the same 1-5,r,x prompt to allow additional elicitations
+
+**Case r (Reshuffle):**
+
+- Select 5 random methods from methods.csv, present new list with same prompt format
+- When selecting, try to think and pick a diverse set of methods covering different categories and approaches, with 1 and 2 being potentially the most useful for the document or section being discovered
+
+**Case x (Proceed):**
+
+- Complete elicitation and proceed
+- Return the fully enhanced content back to the invoking skill
+- The enhanced content becomes the final version for that section
+- Signal completion back to the invoking skill to continue with next section
+
+**Case a (List All):**
+
+- List all methods with their descriptions from the CSV in a compact table
+- Allow user to select any method by name or number from the full list
+- After selection, execute the method as described in the Case 1-5 above
+
+**Case: Direct Feedback:**
+
+- Apply changes to current section content and re-present choices
+
+**Case: Multiple Numbers:**
+
+- Execute methods in sequence on the content, then re-offer choices
+
+---
+
+### Step 3: Execution Guidelines
+
+- **Method execution:** Use the description from CSV to understand and apply each method
+- **Output pattern:** Use the pattern as a flexible guide (e.g., "paths -> evaluation -> selection")
+- **Dynamic adaptation:** Adjust complexity based on content needs (simple to sophisticated)
+- **Creative application:** Interpret methods flexibly based on context while maintaining pattern consistency
+- Focus on actionable insights
+- **Stay relevant:** Tie elicitation to specific content being analyzed (the current section from the document being created unless user indicates otherwise)
+- **Identify personas:** For single or multi-persona methods, clearly identify viewpoints, and use party members if available in memory already
+- **Critical loop behavior:** Always re-offer the 1-5,r,a,x choices after each method execution
+- Continue until user selects 'x' to proceed with enhanced content, confirm or ask the user what should be accepted from the session
+- Each method application builds upon previous enhancements
+- **Content preservation:** Track all enhancements made during elicitation
+- **Iterative enhancement:** Each selected method (1-5) should:
+  1. Apply to the current enhanced version of the content
+  2. Show the improvements made
+  3. Return to the prompt for additional elicitations or completion

+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative facilitation
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- 💬 FOCUS on session setup and continuation detection only
+- 🚪 DETECT existing workflow state and handle continuation properly
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the `communication_language`
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
+- 💾 Initialize document and update frontmatter
+- 📖 Set up frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1]` before loading next step
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until setup is complete
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Variables from workflow.md are available in memory
+- Previous context = what's in output document + frontmatter
+- Don't assume knowledge from other steps
+- Brain techniques loaded on-demand from CSV when needed
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Initialize the brainstorming workflow by detecting continuation state and setting up session context.
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Check for Existing Sessions
+
+First, check the brainstorming sessions folder for existing sessions:
+
+- List all files in `{output_folder}/brainstorming/`
+- **DO NOT read any file contents** - only list filenames
+- If files exist, identify the most recent by date/time in the filename
+- If no files exist, this is a fresh workflow
+
+### 2. Handle Existing Sessions (If Files Found)
+
+If existing session files are found:
+
+- Display the most recent session filename (do NOT read its content)
+- Ask the user: "Found existing session: `[filename]`. Would you like to:
+  **[1]** Continue this session
+  **[2]** Start a new session
+  **[3]** See all existing sessions"
+
+**HALT — wait for user selection before proceeding.**
+
+- If user selects **[1]** (continue): Set `{brainstorming_session_output_file}` to that file path and load `./step-01b-continue.md`
+- If user selects **[2]** (new): Generate new filename with current date/time and proceed to step 3
+- If user selects **[3]** (see all): List all session filenames and ask which to continue or if new
+
+### 3. Fresh Workflow Setup (If No Files or User Chooses New)
+
+If no document exists or no `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter:
+
+#### A. Initialize Document
+
+Create the brainstorming session document:
+
+```bash
+# Create directory if needed
+mkdir -p "$(dirname "{brainstorming_session_output_file}")"
+
+# Initialize from template
+cp "../template.md" "{brainstorming_session_output_file}"
+```
+
+#### B. Context File Check and Loading
+
+**Check for Context File:**
+
+- Check if `context_file` is provided in workflow invocation
+- If context file exists and is readable, load it
+- Parse context content for project-specific guidance
+- Use context to inform session setup and approach recommendations
+
+#### C. Session Context Gathering
+
+"Welcome {{user_name}}! I'm excited to facilitate your brainstorming session. I'll guide you through proven creativity techniques to generate innovative ideas and breakthrough solutions.
+
+**Context Loading:** [If context_file provided, indicate context is loaded]
+**Context-Based Guidance:** [If context available, briefly mention focus areas]
+
+**Let's set up your session for maximum creativity and productivity:**
+
+**Session Discovery Questions:**
+
+1. **What are we brainstorming about?** (The central topic or challenge)
+2. **What specific outcomes are you hoping for?** (Types of ideas, solutions, or insights)"
+
+#### D. Process User Responses
+
+Wait for user responses, then:
+
+**Session Analysis:**
+"Based on your responses, I understand we're focusing on **[summarized topic]** with goals around **[summarized objectives]**.
+
+**Session Parameters:**
+
+- **Topic Focus:** [Clear topic articulation]
+- **Primary Goals:** [Specific outcome objectives]
+
+**Does this accurately capture what you want to achieve?**"
+
+#### E. Update Frontmatter and Document
+
+Update the document frontmatter:
+
+```yaml
+---
+stepsCompleted: [1]
+inputDocuments: []
+session_topic: '[session_topic]'
+session_goals: '[session_goals]'
+selected_approach: ''
+techniques_used: []
+ideas_generated: []
+context_file: '[context_file if provided]'
+---
+```
+
+Append to document:
+
+```markdown
+## Session Overview
+
+**Topic:** [session_topic]
+**Goals:** [session_goals]
+
+### Context Guidance
+
+_[If context file provided, summarize key context and focus areas]_
+
+### Session Setup
+
+_[Content based on conversation about session parameters and facilitator approach]_
+```
+
+## APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
+
+When user selects approach, append the session overview content directly to `{brainstorming_session_output_file}` using the structure from above.
+
+### E. Continue to Technique Selection
+
+"**Session setup complete!** I have a clear understanding of your goals and can select the perfect techniques for your brainstorming needs.
+
+**Ready to explore technique approaches?**
+[1] User-Selected Techniques - Browse our complete technique library
+[2] AI-Recommended Techniques - Get customized suggestions based on your goals
+[3] Random Technique Selection - Discover unexpected creative methods
+[4] Progressive Technique Flow - Start broad, then systematically narrow focus
+
+Which approach appeals to you most? (Enter 1-4)"
+
+**HALT — wait for user selection before proceeding.**
+
+### 4. Handle User Selection and Initial Document Append
+
+#### When user selects approach number:
+
+- **Append initial session overview to `{brainstorming_session_output_file}`**
+- **Update frontmatter:** `stepsCompleted: [1]`, `selected_approach: '[selected approach]'`
+- **Load the appropriate step-02 file** based on selection
+
+### 5. Handle User Selection
+
+After user selects approach number:
+
+- **If 1:** Load `./step-02a-user-selected.md`
+- **If 2:** Load `./step-02b-ai-recommended.md`
+- **If 3:** Load `./step-02c-random-selection.md`
+- **If 4:** Load `./step-02d-progressive-flow.md`
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS:
+
+✅ Existing sessions detected without reading file contents
+✅ User prompted to continue existing session or start new
+✅ Correct session file selected for continuation
+✅ Fresh workflow initialized with correct document structure
+✅ Session context gathered and understood clearly
+✅ User's approach selection captured and routed correctly
+✅ Frontmatter properly updated with session state
+✅ Document initialized with session overview section
+
+## FAILURE MODES:
+
+❌ Reading file contents during session detection (wastes context)
+❌ Not asking user before continuing existing session
+❌ Not properly routing user's continue/new session selection
+❌ Missing continuation detection leading to duplicate work
+❌ Insufficient session context gathering
+❌ Not properly routing user's approach selection
+❌ Frontmatter not updated with session parameters
+
+## SESSION SETUP PROTOCOLS:
+
+- Always list sessions folder WITHOUT reading file contents
+- Ask user before continuing any existing session
+- Only load continue step after user confirms
+- Load brain techniques CSV only when needed for technique presentation
+- Use collaborative facilitation language throughout
+- Maintain psychological safety for creative exploration
+- Clear next-step routing based on user preferences
+
+## NEXT STEPS:
+
+Based on user's approach selection, load the appropriate step-02 file for technique selection and facilitation.
+
+Remember: Focus only on setup and routing - don't preload technique information or look ahead to execution steps!
