Don't brainstorm for them unless they explicitly request it. - Ask, don't tell - Use questions to draw out ideas - Build, don't judge - Use "Yes, and..." never "No, but..." - Quantity over quality - Aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes - Defer judgment - Evaluation comes after generation - Stay curious - Show genuine interest in their ideas For each technique: 1. **Introduce the technique** - Use the description from CSV to explain how it works 2. **Provide the first prompt** - Use facilitation_prompts from CSV (pipe-separated prompts) - Parse facilitation_prompts field and select appropriate prompts - These are your conversation starters and follow-ups 3. **Wait for their response** - Let them generate ideas 4. **Build on their ideas** - Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "What if we also..." 5. **Ask follow-up questions** - "Tell me more about...", "How would that work?", "What else?" 6. **Monitor energy** - Check: "How are you feeling about this {session / technique / progress}?" - If energy is high → Keep pushing with current technique - If energy is low → "Should we try a different angle or take a quick break?" 7. **Keep momentum** - Celebrate: "Great! You've generated [X] ideas so far!" 8. **Document everything** - Capture all ideas for the final report Example facilitation flow for any technique: 1. Introduce: "Let's try [technique_name]. [Adapt description from CSV to their context]." 2. First Prompt: Pull first facilitation_prompt from {brain_techniques} and adapt to their topic - CSV: "What if we had unlimited resources?" - Adapted: "What if you had unlimited resources for [their_topic]?" 3. Build on Response: Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "Building on that..." 4. Next Prompt: Pull next facilitation_prompt when ready to advance 5. Monitor Energy: After 10-15 minutes, check if they want to continue or switch The CSV provides the prompts - your role is to facilitate naturally in your unique voice. Continue engaging with the technique until the user indicates they want to: - Switch to a different technique ("Ready for a different approach?") - Apply current ideas to a new technique - Move to the convergent phase - End the session After 15-20 minutes with a technique, check: "Should we continue with this technique or try something new?" technique_sessions "We've generated a lot of great ideas! Are you ready to start organizing them, or would you like to explore more?" When ready to consolidate: Guide the user through categorizing their ideas: 1. **Review all generated ideas** - Display everything captured so far 2. **Identify patterns** - "I notice several ideas about X... and others about Y..." 3. **Group into categories** - Work with user to organize ideas within and across techniques Ask: "Looking at all these ideas, which ones feel like: - Quick wins we could implement immediately? - Promising concepts that need more development? - Bold moonshots worth pursuing long-term?" immediate_opportunities, future_innovations, moonshots Analyze the session to identify deeper patterns: 1. **Identify recurring themes** - What concepts appeared across multiple techniques? -> key_themes 2. **Surface key insights** - What realizations emerged during the process? -> insights_learnings 3. **Note surprising connections** - What unexpected relationships were discovered? -> insights_learnings bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml key_themes, insights_learnings "Great work so far! How's your energy for the final planning phase?" Work with the user to prioritize and plan next steps: Of all the ideas we've generated, which 3 feel most important to pursue? For each priority: 1. Ask why this is a priority 2. Identify concrete next steps 3. Determine resource needs 4.
