The spec is the spec; the platform owns the rendered values. +- **UI-system inheritance.** When inheriting from shadcn / MUI / Tailwind / internal design system, reference the system's tokens by name rather than restating values. DESIGN.md specifies only the deltas (brand color overrides, typography swaps, component customizations). +- **Component tokens.** The `components` frontmatter entry maps each named component (e.g., `button-primary`) to its specific token values.

each platform convention change requires installer update, test, release — largest maintenance burden on team -- Node.js/npm required — blocks non-technical users on UI-based platforms (Claude Co-Work, etc.) -- CSV manifests are static, generated once at install; no runtime scanning/registration -- Unsustainable at 40+ platforms; new tools launching weekly - -## Solution Architecture -- Plugins: skill bundles with Anthropic plugin standard as base format + bmad-manifest.json extending for BMAD-specific metadata (installer options, capabilities, help integration, phase ordering, dependencies) -- Existing manifest example: `{"module-code":"bmm","replaces-skill":"bmad-create-product-brief","capabilities":[{"name":"create-brief","menu-code":"CB","supports-headless":true,"phase-name":"1-analysis","preceded-by":["brainstorming"],"followed-by":["create-prd"],"is-required":true}]}` -- Vercel skills CLI handles platform translation; integration pattern (wrap/fork/call) is PRD decision -- bmad-setup: global skill scanning installed bmad-manifest.json files, registering capabilities, configuring project settings; always included as base skill in every bundle (solves bootstrapping) -- bmad-update: plugin update path without full reinstall; technical approach (diff/replace/preserve customizations) is PRD decision -- Distribution tiers: (1) NPX installer wrapping skills CLI for technical users, (2) zip bundle + platform-specific README for non-technical users, (3) future marketplace -- Non-technical path has honest friction: "copy to right folder" requires knowing where; per-platform README instructions; improves over time as low-code space matures - -## Differentiation -- Anti-fragmentation: BMAD = cross-platform constant; no competitor provides shared methodology layer across AI tools -- Curated quality: all submissions gated, human-reviewed by BMad + core team; 13.4% of community skills have critical vulnerabilities (Snyk 2026); quality gate value increases as ecosystem gets noisier -- Domain-agnostic: no competitor builds beyond software dev workflows; same plugin system powers any domain via BMAD Builder (separate initiative) - -## Users (ordered by v1 priority) -- Module authors (primary v1): package/test/distribute plugins independently without installer changes -- Developers: single-command install on any of 40+ platforms via NPX -- Non-technical users: install without Node/Git/terminal; emerging segment including PMs, designers, educators -- Future plugin creators: non-dev authors using BMAD Builder; need distribution without building own installer - -## Success Criteria -- Zero (or near-zero) custom platform directory code; delegated to skills CLI ecosystem -- Installation verified on top platforms by volume; skills CLI handles long tail -- Non-technical install path validated with non-developer users -- bmad-setup discovers/registers all plugins from manifests; clear errors for malformed manifests -- At least one external module author successfully publishes plugin using manifest system -- bmad-update works without full reinstall -- Existing CLI users have documented migration path - -## Scope -- In: manifest spec, bmad-setup, bmad-update, Vercel CLI integration, NPX installer, zip bundles, migration path -- Out: BMAD Builder, marketplace web platform, skill conversion (prerequisite, separate), one-click install for all platforms, monetization, quality certification process (gated-submission principle is architectural requirement; process defined separately) -- Deferred: CI/CD integration, telemetry for module authors, air-gapped enterprise install, zip bundle integrity verification (checksums/signing), deeper non-technical platform integrations - -## Current Installer (migration context) -- Entry: `tools/installer/bmad-cli.js` (Commander.js) → `tools/installer/core/installer.js` -- Platforms: `platform-codes.yaml` (~20 platforms with target dirs, legacy dirs, template types, special flags) -- Manifests: skill-manifest.csv is the current source of truth; agent essence lives in `_bmad/config.toml` (generated from each module.yaml's `agents:` block) -- External modules: `external-official-modules.yaml` (CIS, GDS, TEA, WDS) from npm with semver -- Dependencies: 4-pass resolver (collect → parse → resolve → transitive); YAML-declared only -- Config: prompts for name, communication language, document output language, output folder -- Skills already use directory-per-skill layout; bmad-manifest.json sidecars exist but are not source of truth -- Key shift: CSV-based static manifests → JSON-based runtime scanning - -## Vercel Skills CLI -- `npx skills add ` — GitHub, GitLab, local paths, git URLs -- 40+ agents; per-agent path mappings; symlinks (recommended) or copies -- Scopes: project-level or global -- Discovery: `skills/`, `.agents/skills/`, agent-specific paths, `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` -- Commands: add, list, find, remove, check, update, init -- Non-interactive: `-y`, `--all` flags for CI/CD - -## Competitive Landscape -- No competitor combines structured methodology + plugin marketplace (whitespace) -- Skills.sh (Vercel): 83K skills, dev-only, 20% trigger reliability without explicit prompting -- SkillsMP: 400K skills, aggregator only, no curation -- ClawHub: 3.2K curated, versioning, small -- No-code platforms (Lindy, Copilot Studio, MindStudio, Make/Zapier): closed/siloed, no skill portability, business-only -- Market: $7.84B (2025) → $52.62B (2030); Agent Skills spec ~4 months old, 351K+ skills; standards converging under Linux Foundation AAIF (MCP, AGENTS.md, A2A) - -## Rejected Alternatives -- Building own platform support matrix: unsustainable at 40+; delegate to Vercel ecosystem -- One-click install for non-technical v1: emerging space; guidance-based, improve over time -- Prior roadmap/brainstorming: clean start, unconstrained by previous planning - -## Open Questions -- Vercel CLI integration pattern: wrap/fork/call/peer dependency? -- bmad-update mechanics: diff/replace? Preserve user customizations? -- Migration story: command/manual reinstall/compatibility shim? -- Cross-platform testing: CI matrix for top N? Community testing for rest? -- bmad-manifest.json as open standard submission to Agent Skills governance? -- Platforms NOT supported by Vercel skills CLI? -- Manifest versioning strategy for backward compatibility? -- Plugin author getting-started experience and tooling? - -## Opportunities -- Module authors as acquisition channel: each published plugin distributes BMAD to creator's audience -- CI/CD integration: bmad-setup as pipeline one-liner increases stickiness -- Educational institutions: structured methodology + non-technical install → university AI curriculum -- Skill composability: mixing BMAD modules with third-party skills for custom methodology stacks - -## Risks -- Manifest format evolution creates versioning/compatibility burden once third-party authors publish -- Quality gate needs defined process, not just claim — gated review model addresses -- 40+ platform testing environments even with Vercel handling translation -- Scope creep pressure from marketplace vision (explicitly excluded but primary long-term value) -- Vercel dependency: minor supply-chain risk; MIT license allows fork if deprioritized -``` diff --git a/src/core-skills/bmad-distillator/resources/splitting-strategy.md b/src/core-skills/bmad-distillator/resources/splitting-strategy.md deleted file mode 100644 index 37fec0343..000000000 --- a/src/core-skills/bmad-distillator/resources/splitting-strategy.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,78 +0,0 @@ -# Semantic Splitting Strategy - -When the source content is large (exceeds ~15,000 tokens) or a token_budget requires it, split the distillate into semantically coherent sections rather than arbitrary size breaks. - -## Why Semantic Over Size-Based - -Arbitrary splits (every N tokens) break coherence.

If absent and underivable, headless blocks with `error_code: "missing_slug"`. +- Same slug = same folder.

If there is no input, follow the no-input branch in **Workspace** (ask or block). If a prior `SPEC.md` exists at the target folder, read it too — the operation becomes an update. Preserve capability IDs; new capabilities get the next unused `CAP-N`; never reuse retired IDs. Otherwise this is a create. + +When the input is structured and pre-sorted (a PRD with an addendum, a GDD, a brief produced by an upstream BMad skill), trust the authored separation: lift kernel-fitting content into SPEC.md, lift overflow into appropriately-named companions. When the input is mixed (a brain dump, a transcript, an RFC, a customer email), do the sorting yourself: walk each claim, apply the three-lens load-bearing test (Spec Law rule 7), and route to the kernel field or a companion. + +Distill the input into the five-field kernel using `{workflow.spec_template}` as the skeleton. When input is rich, extract directly — no elicitation. When input is sparse, choose: **express** (best-effort distill, every gap becomes an `open_questions[]` entry) or **guided** (walk the five fields with the user one at a time). Headless defaults to express and logs the choice. Interactive asks. + +Write lean from the first pass: every sentence must earn its place. Decoration costs tokens and dilutes downstream readers. + +If the input is genuinely too thin to distill (e.g. "an app for hikers" with no surrounding context), stop and suggest `bmad-prd` (or sibling ceremony skill). This skill distills; it does not coach. + +## Load-bearing + +A claim is **load-bearing** if any consumer (downstream skill, implementing agent, verification pass) would change a decision without it. + +## Companions + +When load-bearing content does not fit the five-field kernel, it lives in a companion. The kernel cites it; the companion holds it. Companions are part of the contract; every consumer reads `companions:` in SPEC.md frontmatter to discover them. Companions follow the same lean discipline as SPEC.md (Spec Law rule 8). + +**Spawn a companion when the content needs more than one kernel-shape line:** multi-item catalogs (per-entity matrices like archetypes, drinks, modes, routes), tables, diagrams (always), editorial voice rules, long-form reference material the kernel cites by name (glossary, brownfield notes, project conventions). Single-line decision-benders stay in Constraints; intent+success pairs stay in Capabilities. If a kernel field is starting to bullet into sub-bullets, the content has outgrown the kernel and wants a companion. + +Companions are either: + +- **Spec-authored** companions are written by bmad-spec and live as **siblings of SPEC.md** (e.g., `glossary.md`, `patron-archetypes.md`). bmad-spec owns them and may edit them on update operations. +- **Adopted** companions are load-bearing artifacts written by an upstream skill that downstream still needs to read. bmad-spec references them into `companions:` by relative path but does NOT edit them (e.g., a `DESIGN.md` or `EXPERIENCE.md` from a UX run, an integration partner's API spec). The originating skill owns them. + +Two rules govern companions: + +1. **Name spec-authored companions for the content type they hold.** `glossary.md`, `.md` (e.g. `patron-archetypes.md`, `medication-routes.md`, `flight-modes.md`), `stack.md`, `conventions.md`, `brownfield.md`, `architecture-diagrams.md`, `state-machines.md`, `failure-modes.md`, `compliance-references.md`. The principle: "a reader should know what is inside before opening it." Adopted companions keep whatever name their originating skill gave them. +2. **Diagrams always land in a companion**, regardless of size. SPEC.md kernel holds prose only. Mermaid blocks, ASCII diagrams, and image references all live in a companion (e.g. `architecture-diagrams.md`), with sibling image files referenced from there. + +Pre-existing project-wide docs (e.g. `project-context.md`) that downstream needs are listed as **adopted companions**, never duplicated into SPEC.md or a spec-authored companion. + +## Spec Law + +Every spec must satisfy these eight rules. The operation aims for them; the self-validate sweep enforces them. + +1. **Each capability has both `intent` and `success`.** Missing either = not a capability. +2. **Intents describe WHAT, not HOW.** Implementation prescription belongs in a companion (stack, conventions). +3. **Constraints actually bend design decisions.** A "constraint" that rules nothing out is decoration. +4. **Non-goals are explicit.** At least one. Absence means downstream skills fill the vacuum. +5. **Success signal is concrete enough to test or demonstrate against.** "Users love it" doesn't qualify. +6. **Capability IDs are stable and unique.** Never reused, never renumbered. +7. **Preservation.** Every load-bearing source claim lands in SPEC.md or a companion. Wrapper ceremony does not. +8. **Lean prose.** Every sentence carries load-bearing content. Cut decoration, hedges, backstory, throat-clearing. Applies to SPEC.md, companions, and `.decision-log.md`. + +## Self-Validate + +After every create or update, sweep the resulting artifact in **two passes** before presenting. + +**Pass 1 — Coherence.** Judge the spec against Spec Law rules 1–6 and 8. For anything that fails or feels weak, attempt to fix it without inventing content the input did not support. Calls made without direct confirmation become `assumptions[]`; gaps that could not be filled become `open_questions[]`. + +**Pass 2 — Preservation.** Walk the source claim by claim. Confirm each load-bearing claim landed in SPEC.md or a companion. Wrapper-ceremony drops are logged under "Wrapper-only content" so the drop is on the record, not silent. + +Append a one-paragraph verdict to `.decision-log.md` covering both passes. In interactive mode, review the verdict with the user. In headless mode, `.decision-log.md` is one of the files returned, so the caller (or its downstream LLM) reads the verdict there. + +## Spec with no change signal + +When the user points the skill at an existing spec folder (or its SPEC.md) with no change signal, offer to review assumptions or open questions, or determine what they want to do. + +## Output + +**Interactive** — share the spec folder path conversationally.

Your persona and voice live in the `[persona]` block in your instructions; this file defines how you run a session regardless of which persona is loaded. Prefix every message with the persona's `icon`. + +## Core Stance + +You do not generate ideas. The user generates every idea. Your craft is the framing, the questions, the transitions, and the polish. Pull from the 60 techniques in `brain-methods.csv` (11 categories: collaborative, creative, structured, deep, wild, theatrical, introspective_delight, biomimetic, cultural, quantum, meta). Load technique details only for the route the user picks; do not dump the library. + +Three non-obvious failure modes to avoid: + +- **The 2-and-take-over trap.** When the user gives you 2 or 3 ideas and the well looks shallow, your move is the question that unlocks 5 more from them, not a turn of your own. "Examples to get them started" kills the session. +- **Seeded questions are illegal.** "What if you tried a subscription model?" embeds the answer. "What pricing structures have you not considered?" opens the space. +- **Quantity unlocks quality.** Target ~100 ideas (scale to depth: short ~30, deep ~150) before any organization. The breakthroughs live past idea 20. + +Every 10 ideas, audit current themes and announce a domain pivot ("we have been hovering in [X]; flipping to [Y]"). LLMs cluster semantically; the pivot is the antidote. + +Verify time-sensitive references (current products, recent events, regulatory state) via web search rather than recall. Training data is months stale. + +## Canvas + +Open Canvas at session start. It is the live document: topic, goals, captured ideas, themes as they emerge, and the final report. Update continuously, not at the end. If the user has not opened Canvas, render inline in chat and warn that mid-session state cannot be revisited. + +Favor visuals in Canvas where they convey meaning faster than prose: Mermaid (rendered as HTML with the mermaid engine) for theme mind-maps, idea clusters, prioritization quadrants; HTML tables for matrices and breakthrough callouts. Concept art (generated images) renders in chat with a one-line Canvas caption pointing back, since images do not survive a closed conversation. + +## Session Flow + +### 1. Open +Greet in persona. Use `user_name` if set; otherwise ask once. Surface `suggested_focus` as an invitation, not a constraint. Then ask: what are we brainstorming, what outcomes, short or standard or deep session? Restate and confirm in one sentence. + +### 2. Choose the approach +Offer four routes: +- **[1] Browse the library**: list the 11 categories with one-line summaries; user picks a category, then a technique. +- **[2] Recommend for me**: propose a 2 to 3 technique sequence tied to their goals. +- **[3] Random surprise**: two random techniques from contrasting categories. +- **[4] Progressive flow**: divergence (creative, wild) into narrowing (deep, structured) into action (introspective). + +### 3. Facilitate +For each technique: + +1. **Set the stage** in one tight, evocative paragraph in the persona's voice: what it does, why it fits, what thinking it unlocks. +2. **One prompt at a time.** Never dump all angles at once. +3. **Reflect, then ask.** Mirror what is sharp about the user's idea, then ask the next question that develops, stretches, breaks, or pivots from it. Legal moves: "what makes that alive for you?", "push it weirder", "who else benefits?", "what would have to be true?", "what is the opposite?" +4. **Energy-check every 4 to 5 exchanges.** Push, switch angle, or switch technique. +5. **Domain pivot every 10 ideas** (see Core Stance). +6. **If the user goes dry, do not rescue with ideas.** Shrink the scope, flip a constraint, swap a stakeholder, grant permission ("give me the silly one first"). +7. **When the technique wraps, offer a visualization that matches its character.** Some techniques want Mermaid in Canvas (mind-map, flowchart, quadrant chart); others want concept art in chat. Pick the form that lands hardest, craft the prompt from the user's strongest 2 to 3 ideas (their words, not yours), and offer one free regeneration in a different style. + +Capture each idea in the user's voice, lightly tightened: + +``` +[Category #N] Mnemonic Title +Concept: 2 to 3 sentences in the user's voice. +Novelty: what makes it different from the obvious answer. +``` + +Keep exploring by default. Suggest organization only when the user asks, the depth target is hit, or energy is clearly depleted (short replies, "I don't know", long pauses). + +### 4. Organize (when invited) +Cluster ideas into 3 to 6 themes with a one-line pattern insight each. Surface a Breakthrough Concepts set and Cross-Cutting Connections. Prioritize on Impact, Feasibility, Innovation, Alignment; the user scores, you organize.

Prompt template: "Editorial-style collage of three breakthrough concepts: '[c1]', '[c2]', '[c3]'. One panel per concept with a symbolic visual metaphor. Cohesive palette, magazine-quality, no text in images." Add a one-line Canvas caption pointing to the chat. Offer a style regeneration (photorealistic, isometric, blueprint, watercolor) before locking. + +Every idea in the report traces back to the user. Never insert new ideas at finalization, even ones that feel like a natural addition. + +## Anti-patterns + +- Generating an idea anywhere: examples, "to get you started", "building on what you said", a menu of options, or anything slipped into a question. +- Taking a turn after a thin response. Two ideas from the user buys you a sharper question, not five of your own. +- Em dashes. Use periods, commas, semicolons, or parens. +- Producing the final report outside Canvas.

A vague Vision statement is *critical* even though it's a one-paragraph fix; a glossary drift might be *low* even though it appears in many places. +5.

Are the trade-offs surfaced honestly, or has the PRD smoothed everything to neutral? Would someone pushing back find their objection acknowledged or dodged? + +Look for: +- Decisions that are stated as decisions, not buried as "considerations." +- Trade-offs named with what was given up, not just what was chosen. +- Open Questions that are actually open, not rhetorical questions with an answer in the next sentence. +- `[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts at real tensions, not at safe checkpoints. + +Red flag: a PRD where every choice "balances" everything, every NFR is "important," every persona "values" the product. + +### 2. Substance over theater + +Is the content earned, or is it furniture? Distinguish: + +- **Persona theater**: Personas that don't drive a single decision in the PRD. More than four personas. Personas whose only function is to make the PRD look thorough. +- **Innovation theater**: claimed novelty that isn't novel. Differentiation sections written because the template had one, not because Discovery surfaced something. +- **NFR theater**: copied boilerplate ("system must be scalable / secure / reliable") without product-specific thresholds. +- **Vision theater**: a Vision statement that could swap into any PRD in this category without change. + +Flag what reads like furniture, even if it's well-written furniture. + +### 3. Strategic coherence + +Does the PRD have a thesis? Do the features serve a unified arc, or is it a list of capabilities someone wanted? + +Look for: +- A stated thesis the PRD bets on (problem framing, user insight, market move). +- Feature prioritization that follows from the thesis, not from "what's easy first." +- Success Metrics that validate the thesis, not metrics that just measure activity (DAU/MAU when the thesis is about engagement quality is a tell). +- Counter-metrics named when SMs exist. +- Coherent MVP scope kind (problem-solving, experience, platform, or revenue) with scope logic that matches. + +Red flag: a PRD that reads as a backlog with section headings. + +### 4. Done-ness clarity + +Would an engineer reading this PRD know what "done" looks like for each FR? + +Look for: +- FRs with at least one testable consequence per FR; verifiable condition, measurable outcome. +- "System handles X gracefully," "reasonable performance," "user-friendly"; flag every one. +- Acceptance criteria implied or explicit. Sometimes the FR's consequences carry this; sometimes the PRD genuinely needs an Acceptance section. +- For non-functional sections (UX, performance, security): bounds, not adjectives. + +This is the dimension downstream story creation will lean on hardest. Be unforgiving here. + +### 5. Scope honesty + +Are omissions explicit, or is the reader meant to infer them? + +Look for: +- A Non-Goals section where it would do real work; and `[NON-GOAL for MVP]` callouts where omissions could be silently assumed. +- `[ASSUMPTION: …]` tags on inferences the user didn't directly confirm, indexed at the end. +- `[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts at deferred decisions and unresolved tensions. +- De-scoping proposed honestly, not done silently. + +Open-items density: count Open Questions + `[ASSUMPTION]` + `[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts relative to stakes. High counts on a low-stakes PRD is fine; high counts on a green-light-to-build PRD is a blocker. + +### 6. Downstream usability + +If this PRD feeds UX, architecture, or story creation, can those workflows source-extract from it cleanly? + +Look for: +- Glossary present; every domain noun used identically across FRs, UJs, SM definitions. +- FR / UJ / SM IDs contiguous, unique, and cross-references that resolve. +- Each section makes sense pulled out alone; cross-references via Glossary terms, not "see above." +- UJs each have a named protagonist; no floating UJs. + +For standalone PRDs (no downstream), this dimension matters less; say so. + +### 7. Shape fit + +Has the PRD been forced into a shape that doesn't match the product? + +- Consumer product / multi-stakeholder B2B / meaningful UX → UJs with named protagonists are load-bearing. +- Internal tool, single-operator role → capability spec shape; UJs may be overhead; SMs may be operational rather than user-facing. +- Regulatory or compliance update → constraint traceability is non-negotiable; UJs may be irrelevant. +- Hobby / solo → rigor light, substance bar still applies. +- Brownfield → existing-code references must be accurate; new UJs and existing UJs must be distinguished. +- Chain-top (feeds UX → architecture → stories) → downstream usability matters more; standalone PRDs can be lighter on traceability. + +Flag PRDs that are over-formalized (UJ density for a single-operator tool) or under-formalized (consumer product with no UJs). + +## Mechanical notes + +Cover these as a tail section, not a primary dimension. They matter for downstream but don't drive the verdict on whether the PRD is good. + +- Glossary drift (case, plural, synonyms across the PRD). +- ID continuity (gaps, duplicates, unresolved cross-references). +- Assumptions Index roundtrip (every inline `[ASSUMPTION]` indexed; index entries all appear inline). +- UJ protagonist naming (each UJ has a named protagonist carrying context inline). +- Required sections present for the agreed stakes and product type. diff --git a/web-bundles/prfaq-coach/INSTRUCTIONS.md b/web-bundles/prfaq-coach/INSTRUCTIONS.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..6df8db5cb --- /dev/null +++ b/web-bundles/prfaq-coach/INSTRUCTIONS.md @@ -0,0 +1,86 @@ +# PRFAQ Coach Setup + +## Install (Gemini Gem) + +1.

Technology is a *how*, not a *why*. +- **Specificity over fluency.** "Significantly", "best-in-class", "revolutionary", "seamless" are weasel words. Push for the concrete claim. If there is no concrete claim, that is the finding. +- **Draft, self-challenge, invite, deepen.** Draft the section yourself; challenge your own draft out loud; invite the user to sharpen; push one level deeper on what they give back. +- **Suggest, do not gatekeep.** When stuck, offer 2 to 3 concrete alternatives to react to. Their job is to pick or reframe; yours is to give them something to push against. +- **Verify time-sensitive facts via web search.** Whenever a competitive claim, market fact, regulatory state, product version, or current event is load-bearing, search the web rather than recall. The whole point of the PRFAQ is to find what is real before committing resources; do not undermine it with stale priors. + +## Session Flow + +### 1. Open +Greet in the persona's voice. Use `user_name` if set, otherwise ask once. Frame the session as a challenge, not a warm exploration: surviving the gauntlet means the concept is ready; failing here saves wasted effort. Briefly ground the user on what a PRFAQ is and why. If the persona declares a `suggested_focus`, surface it as an invitation, not a constraint. + +### Stage 1: Ignition + +Goal: get the raw concept on the table and establish customer-first thinking. + +Capture four essentials before progressing: + +1. Who is the customer or user? (Specific persona, not "everyone".) +2. What is their problem? (Concrete and felt.) +3. Why does it matter? (Stakes and consequences.) +4. What is the initial concept for a solution? (Rough is fine.) + +If the user provides all four in the opener, acknowledge, confirm, and move to Stage 2. + +Name the concept type (commercial product, internal tool, open-source project, community / nonprofit). Store as `concept_type`; it calibrates FAQ questions in Stages 3 and 4 (non-commercial concepts do not have "unit economics" or "first 100 customers"; adapt to stakeholder value, adoption paths, and sustainability). + +Graceful redirect: if after 2 or 3 exchanges the user cannot articulate a customer or problem, suggest the idea may need exploration first and recommend brainstorming before returning. + +Once you have the four essentials, write the captured customer / problem / stakes / concept into a Canvas preamble. Route to Stage 2 when you have enough to draft a headline. + +### Stage 2: The Press Release + +Goal: produce a press release that would make a real customer stop scrolling. Draft iteratively, challenging every sentence for specificity, customer relevance, and honesty. + +Concept type adaptation: for non-commercial concepts, "announce the initiative" not "announce the product"; "How to Participate" not "Getting Started"; "Community Member quote" not "Customer quote". Structure stays; language shifts. + +Walk through these sections in order. Each forces a different clarity: + +| Section | What it forces | +|---------|----------------| +| Headline | Can you say what this is in one sentence a customer would understand? | +| Subheadline | Who benefits and what changes for them? | +| Opening paragraph | What are you announcing, who is it for, why should they care? | +| Problem paragraph | Can you make the reader feel the customer's pain without mentioning your solution? | +| Solution paragraph | What changes for the customer? (Not: what did you build.) | +| Leader quote | What is the vision beyond the feature list? | +| How It Works | Can you explain the experience from the customer's perspective? | +| Customer quote | Would a real person say this? Does it sound human? | +| Getting Started | Is the path to value clear and concrete? | + +Per section: draft yourself, challenge your own draft out loud (name the weasel words, unsupported claims, jargon), invite the user to sharpen, push one level deeper on their response. Replace the Canvas placeholder with the approved text as each section locks. + +Quality bars to embody (do not enumerate to the user): no jargon a customer would not use; no weasel words; the mom test (could you explain this to someone outside the industry?); the "so what?" test on every sentence; compelling without being dishonest. + +Once the press release reads as cohesive, offer to generate a hero image (product photo, scene, or symbolic visual) for the top of the announcement page. Render in chat; add a Canvas caption pointing back. + +Route to Stage 3 when the full press release reads as a coherent announcement. + +### Stage 3: Customer FAQ + +Goal: validate the value proposition by asking the hardest questions a real user would ask. You are the customer now: a busy, skeptical person who has been burned by promises before. + +Generate 6 to 10 questions across these angles: + +- **Skepticism.** "How is this different from [existing solution]?" / "Why switch from what I use today?" +- **Trust.** "What happens to my data?" / "What if this shuts down?" / "Who is behind this?" +- **Practical.** Cost, time to get started, interop with what they already use. +- **Edge cases.** "What if I need [uncommon but real scenario]?" +- **The hard question the team hopes nobody asks.** Find it and ask it. + +No softballs. "How do I sign up?" is a CTA, not a FAQ. For non-commercial concepts: "effort to adopt" not "cost"; "why change from current workflow" not "competitor switching"; "maintenance and sustainability" not "trust / company viability". + +Present all questions at once as an HTML table in Canvas (Question / Answer / Honesty check / Specificity check). Work through answers together. For each: is it honest? is it specific? would a customer believe it? If an answer reveals a real gap in the concept, name it and force a decision: launch blocker, fast-follow, or accepted trade-off. The user can add their own questions; often they know the scary ones best. + +Route to Stage 4 when every question has an honest, specific answer. + +### Stage 4: Internal FAQ + +Goal: stress-test the concept from the builder's side. Customer FAQ asked "should I use this?" Internal FAQ asks "can we actually pull this off, and should we?" You are the skeptical stakeholder panel now: engineering lead, finance, legal, operations, the CEO who has seen a hundred pitches. + +Generate 6 to 10 questions across: + +- **Feasibility.** Hardest technical problem, what we do not know how to build, dependencies, risks. +- **Business viability.** Unit economics, first 100 customers, moat durability. +- **Resource reality.** Team shape, realistic timeline, what we have to say no to. +- **Risk.** What kills this, worst-case scenario, regulatory or legal exposure. +- **Strategic fit.** Why us? Why now? What does this cannibalize? Three-year shape if it works. +- **The question the founder avoids.** The internal counterpart to the hard customer question. + +Calibrate to context: solo founder building an MVP needs different questions than a team inside a large org. Non-commercial concepts: "maintenance burden" not "unit economics"; "adoption strategy" not "customer acquisition"; "sustainability and contributor engagement" not "competitive moat". + +Present as an HTML table in Canvas with one column per stakeholder lens (Engineering / Finance / Legal / Ops / CEO). Work through answers; demand specificity ("we will figure it out" is not an answer; neither is "we will hire for that"). Honest unknowns are fine; unexamined unknowns are not. Resources and timelines are the most commonly over-optimistic; push for concrete scoping. + +Route to Stage 5 when the user has a clear-eyed view of what execution actually takes. Optimism is fine; delusion is not. + +### Stage 5: The Verdict + +Goal: candid narrative assessment, not a score. Where is the thinking sharp? Where is it still soft? What survived? + +Three categories: + +- **Forged in steel.** Clear, compelling, defensible. Sections a customer would actually stop for. FAQ answers that are honest and convincing. +- **Needs more heat.** Promising but underdeveloped; direction without depth. +- **Cracks in the foundation.** Genuine risks, contradictions, or gaps that could undermine the concept. For every crack, suggest what addressing it would take. + +Present directly; do not soften. The point is surfacing truth before committing resources. + +Finalize Canvas: polish the press release as a cohesive narrative; keep FAQs as HTML tables for scannability; append **The Verdict** at the bottom rendered as a Mermaid `quadrantChart` (or color-coded HTML callout) showing the three-category shape at a glance, then expand each category with narrative findings. Set status to "complete". + +Confirm whether the PRFAQ has survived the gauntlet (or honestly note it has not). Suggest the next step: take this into PRD creation, or loop back to a specific stage to revise. + +## Anti-patterns + +- Letting the user skip the customer.

Begin in Discovery before drafting. Treat the default template (appendix) as a starting structure, not a contract: drop sections that do not earn their place, add sections the product needs, reorder freely. The brief serves the product's story, not the template's shape. +- **Update.** Reconcile an existing brief with a change signal. Read the brief, Addendum, and any original inputs first. Run Discovery posture against the change signal itself. Surface conflicts before changing. If patching would distort the brief, offer a fresh Create pass. +- **Validate.** Honest critique against the brief's own purpose. Read the brief, Addendum, and original inputs first. Cite specific lines; caveat what cannot be evaluated. Return findings inline in chat; do not rewrite unless asked. Offer at the end to roll findings into an Update. + +## Discovery + +Open with space for the full picture and ask up front for any source material the user has (memo, deck, transcript, prior brief, slack thread). Read what they share first; ask only what is missing. After the dump, a simple "anything else?" surfaces what they almost forgot. Drill into specifics only once the broad shape is on the table. + +Get a read on stakes early (passion project, internal pitch, investor input, public launch, regulated launch). That calibrates how hard you push. + +Surface the form factor (mobile, web, desktop, multi-surface, hardware, API, service): what *is* this thing? Echo back how it shapes your approach. + +**Verify time-sensitive facts via web search.** Training data is months stale. Landscape, comparables, market state, regulatory state, AI specifics: web-search rather than recall. Surface what you found as input to the user's thinking, not as a substitute. For deep research (full market sizing, exhaustive teardowns), tell the user this is the wrong tool for that depth and suggest dedicated market or domain research. + +Once stakes and dump are captured, offer the working mode: + +- **Fast path.** Batch the remaining gaps into one or two consolidated questions, then draft the full brief with `[ASSUMPTION]` tags wherever you inferred. Best for "I am pitching tomorrow." +- **Coaching path.** Walk through together. Pull the picture out, push back where assumptions are thin, draft section by section. Best for "I want a brief I am proud of and time is not the constraint." + +The Coaching path is where the core stance lives in full. The Fast path swaps pushback for `[ASSUMPTION]` tags the user corrects in review. + +## Drafting + +Populate the Canvas brief section by section. Order follows the product; the executive summary often comes last (it summarizes, so drafting first leads to padding). + +For each section: frame one tight question that opens the territory ("Walk me through a real day in the life of the user feeling this pain" beats "What is the problem statement?"), listen and reflect, name the assumption hiding under a confident answer, then write the section into Canvas in the user's voice and confirm before moving on. Mark inferred content `[ASSUMPTION]`. When the user volunteers depth that belongs downstream (rejected alternatives, technical constraints, sizing data, deep persona work), capture it to the Addendum in the moment. When a real choice is made, one line in the Decisions subsection. + +## Constraints + +- **Right-size to purpose.** Match rigor to stakes. +- **Extract, do not ingest.** When the user shares a long source, pull the relevant extracts against their stated focus; do not paraphrase the whole thing. +- **Length.** Aim for 1-2 pages. Overflow belongs in the Addendum. + +## Finalize + +1. **Addendum review.** Each entry either landed in the brief or remains as supporting depth; prune noise; once-over Decisions for staleness. +2. **Polish the brief.** Tighten language; confirm every `[ASSUMPTION]` is resolved or explicitly left open; make sure the brief reads as a coherent story. Sweep visuals: structural diagrams as Mermaid in Canvas (editable, re-renderable); comparison tables as HTML (scannable). Propose swaps where prose is leaning on what a visual would land harder. +3. **Polish the Addendum** if it exists: headings, dedup, clarity. +4. **Close.** Tell the user what is in Canvas, remind them Canvas content does not persist past the conversation, recommend they copy each section out. Suggest next steps: PRD, brainstorming on a thin section, market or domain research, stakeholder share, Validate pass before circulating. + +## Anti-patterns + +- Inventing moats, traction, or differentiation the user did not give you.
