From e6510d59f87e701701036b23bef0642025bb849c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?M=C3=A5rten=20Angner?= Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2026 01:45:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fix(wds): Update references from Freyja to Freya across documentation Replaced all instances of "Freyja" with "Freya" in various documentation files, including agent presentations, workflows, and guides. This change ensures consistency in naming conventions and aligns with the updated agent identity. The update enhances clarity for users navigating the WDS framework and improves overall documentation accuracy. --- README.md | 8 +- WDS-V6-CONVERSION-ROADMAP.md | 34 +-

CAC Integration with Scenarios + +**Decision:** Every scenario must explicitly define CAC starting point and target position. + +**Rationale:** Provides clear strategic anchor for all content and interaction decisions. Makes scenario success measurable. + +### 2. Value Chain Content Analysis + +**Decision:** Create explicit data structure showing strategic reasoning for each content component. + +**Rationale:** Makes agent reasoning transparent, allows designer control, enables multi-angle content generation. + +### 3. Multi-Dimensional Framework Synthesis + +**Decision:** Don't require all frameworks all the time. Let AI synthesize multiple (even conflicting) frameworks. + +**Rationale:** Leverages AI's strength in multi-dimensional synthesis. More flexible than rigid framework application. + +### 4. Method Documentation Structure + +**Decision:** Create tool-agnostic method guides that agents reference in their instructions. + +**Rationale:** Separates methodology from implementation. Allows reuse across different agents and contexts. + +--- + +## Quotes & Insights + +> "The agent just spit out a suggestion after each prompt without asking or thinking." + +> "I wanted to create the content for the WDS page.

I got a lot of great inspiration and have a ton of context for the process." + +> "The agent did not go about this in a scientific way. The agent blurted out versions left and right and refused to stay in the dialog until a good solution was found." + +> "Based on all these data points, we have a fantastic position to write awesome content. I wish for the agent to identify this information and feed it to the user when it is time to create a text section. This is what I mean with scientific approach!" + +> "Wanting to be right and fearing to be wrong is on the face of it technically the same thing, but in terms of driving forces it gives two different messages in terms of content presented to the user." + +> "AI is phenomenal at getting multi-dimensional input and create a single output where all of the sometimes conflicting input is taken into account and weighed against each other." + +> "A scenario should in essence take a user from one less favorable position in the CAC to a more favorable one.

Project Overview + +### What is WDS? + +**Whiteport Design Studio (WDS)** is a design-focused methodology module for the BMad Method ecosystem. It provides a complete UX/UI design workflow from product exploration through detailed component specifications. + +### Origin + +WDS evolves from **Whiteport Sketch-to-Code (WPS2C)**, a BMad v4 "expansion pack." The v6 conversion transforms it into a proper BMad module following v6 architecture. + +### Core Purpose + +WDS focuses **exclusively on design** - it creates the design artifacts that feed into development modules like BMad Method (BMM). WDS does NOT include development/backlog functionality. + +### Integration Model + +``` +WDS (Design) ────────► E-UI-Roadmap/ ────────► BMM (Development) + │ │ │ + │ Creates: │ Bridge: │ Consumes: + │ • Product Brief │ • Priority mapping │ • Architecture + │ • Trigger Map │ • Technical notes │ • Stories + │ • Scenarios │ • Handoff checklist │ • Implementation + │ • PRD │ │ + │ • Design System │ │ +``` + +--- + +## 2.

Document patterns and best practices + +--- + +## Key Decisions + +### 1. CAC Integration with Scenarios + +**Decision:** Every scenario must explicitly define CAC starting point and target position. + +**Rationale:** Provides clear strategic anchor for all content and interaction decisions. Makes scenario success measurable. + +### 2. Value Trigger Chain Content Analysis + +**Decision:** Create explicit data structure showing strategic reasoning for each content component. + +**Rationale:** Makes agent reasoning transparent, allows designer control, enables multi-angle content generation. + +### 3. Multi-Dimensional Framework Synthesis + +**Decision:** Don't require all frameworks all the time. Let AI synthesize multiple (even conflicting) frameworks. + +**Rationale:** Leverages AI's strength in multi-dimensional synthesis. More flexible than rigid framework application. + +### 4. Method Documentation Structure + +**Decision:** Create tool-agnostic method guides that agents reference in their instructions. + +**Rationale:** Separates methodology from implementation. Allows reuse across different agents and contexts. + +--- + +## Quotes & Insights + +> "The agent just spit out a suggestion after each prompt without asking or thinking." + +> "I wanted to create the content for the WDS page. This is a complex task that I had worried a lot about. Instead of worrying, I started a full WDS process. I made a great PRD and went through the process of making a Trigger map. I got a lot of great inspiration and have a ton of context for the process." + +> "The agent did not go about this in a scientific way. The agent blurted out versions left and right and refused to stay in the dialog until a good solution was found." + +> "Based on all these data points, we have a fantastic position to write awesome content. I wish for the agent to identify this information and feed it to the user when it is time to create a text section. This is what I mean with scientific approach!" + +> "Wanting to be right and fearing to be wrong is on the face of it technically the same thing, but in terms of driving forces it gives two different messages in terms of content presented to the user." + +> "AI is phenomenal at getting multi-dimensional input and create a single output where all of the sometimes conflicting input is taken into account and weighed against each other." + +> "A scenario should in essence take a user from one less favorable position in the CAC to a more favorable one. That is very useful to define where the user starts." + +--- + +## Session Status + +**Current Phase:** Method Plumbing 🔧 +**Next Up:** Create strategic framework method guides +**Blocked:** None +**Notes:** Content discussion well-documented, ready to resume after method documentation is complete + +--- + +--- + +## Work Completed Today - Method Plumbing ✅ + +### Documentation Structure Created + +**Folder Structure:** +``` +docs/ +├── models/ ← NEW!

Document this in your page specification. + +### Q: What if I have multiple business goals? + +**A:** Create separate VTCs for each. One VTC might serve multiple goals, but each VTC should have a clear primary goal. + +### Q: How detailed should driving forces be? + +**A:** Specific enough to inform design decisions. "Want to save time" is too vague.
