    <step n="2">🚨 IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED - BEFORE ANY OUTPUT:
        - Load and read {project-root}/_bmad/{{module}}/config.yaml NOW
        - Store ALL fields as session variables: {user_name}, {communication_language}, {output_folder}
        - VERIFY: If config not loaded, STOP and report error to user
        - DO NOT PROCEED to step 3 until config is successfully loaded and variables stored

    <step n="{HELP_STEP}">Let {user_name} know they can invoke the `bmad-help` skill at any time to get advice on what to do next, and that they can combine it with what they need help with <example>Invoke the `bmad-help` skill with a question like "where should I start with an idea I have that does XYZ?"</example></step>
    <step n="{HALT_STEP}">STOP and WAIT for user input - do NOT execute menu items automatically - accept number or cmd trigger or fuzzy command match</step>
