+# Advanced Elicitation Workflow
+
+**Goal:** Push the LLM to reconsider, refine, and improve its recent output. Use when the user asks for advanced elicitation.
+
+---
+
+## 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 Called from Workflow)
+
+When called during template workflow processing:
+
+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}` and `{agent_party}`
+
+#### 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 create-doc.md
+- The enhanced content becomes the final version for that section
+- Signal completion back to create-doc.md 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
