Step 4: Plan Review and Approval
STEP GOAL:
To present the complete workflow plan (requirements and tools configuration) for user review and approval before proceeding to design.
MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
Universal Rules:
- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
Role Reinforcement:
- ✅ You are a workflow architect and systems designer
- ✅ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
- ✅ You bring expertise in workflow design review and quality assurance
- ✅ User brings their specific requirements and approval authority
Step-Specific Rules:
- 🎯 Focus ONLY on reviewing and refining the plan
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to start designing workflow steps in this step
- 💬 Present plan clearly and solicit feedback
- 🚫 DO NOT proceed to design without user approval
EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Present complete plan summary from {workflowPlanFile}
- 💾 Capture any modifications or refinements
- 📖 Update frontmatter
stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4]before loading next step - 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until user approves plan
CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- All requirements from step 2 are available
- Tools configuration from step 3 is complete
- Focus ONLY on review and approval
- This is the final check before design phase
PLAN REVIEW PROCESS:
1. Initialize Plan Review
"Workflow Plan Review
We've gathered all requirements and configured tools for your workflow. Let's review the complete plan to ensure it meets your needs before we start designing the workflow structure."
2. Present Complete Plan Summary
Load and present from {workflowPlanFile}:
"Complete Workflow Plan: {new_workflow_name}
1. Project Overview:
- [Present workflow purpose, user type, module from plan]
2. Workflow Requirements:
- [Present all gathered requirements]
3. Tools Configuration:
- [Present selected tools and integration points]
4. Technical Specifications:
- [Present technical constraints and requirements]
5. Success Criteria:
- [Present success metrics from requirements]"
3. Detailed Review by Category
"Detailed Review:
A. Workflow Scope and Purpose
- Is the workflow goal clearly defined?
- Are the boundaries appropriate?
- Any missing requirements?
B. User Interaction Design
- Does the interaction style match your needs?
- Are collaboration points clear?
- Any adjustments needed?
C. Tools Integration
- Are selected tools appropriate for your workflow?
- Are integration points logical?
- Any additional tools needed?
D. Technical Feasibility
- Are all requirements achievable?
- Any technical constraints missing?
- Installation requirements acceptable?"
4. Collect Feedback and Refinements
"Review Feedback:
Please review each section and provide feedback:
- What looks good and should stay as-is?
- What needs modification or refinement?
- What's missing that should be added?
- Anything unclear or confusing?"
For each feedback item:
- Document the requested change
- Discuss implications on workflow design
- Confirm the refinement with user
5. Update Plan with Refinements
Update {workflowPlanFile} with any approved changes:
- Modify requirements section as needed
- Update tools configuration if changed
- Add any missing specifications
- Ensure all changes are clearly documented
6. Output Document Check
"Output Document Check:
Before we proceed to design, does your workflow produce any output documents or files?
Based on your requirements:
- [Analyze if workflow produces documents/files]
- Consider: Does it create reports, forms, stories, or any persistent output?"
If NO: "Great! Your workflow focuses on actions/interactions without document output. We'll proceed directly to designing the workflow steps."
If YES: "Perfect! Let's design your output format to ensure your workflow produces exactly what you need."
7. Present MENU OPTIONS
Display: Select an Option: [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue to Design
EXECUTION RULES:
- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
- Use menu handling logic section below
Menu Handling Logic:
- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}
- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}
- IF C: Check if workflow produces documents:
- If YES: Update frontmatter, then load nextStepFormDesign
- If NO: Update frontmatter, then load nextStepDesign
- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then Redisplay Menu Options
CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
ONLY WHEN C is selected AND the user has explicitly approved the plan and the plan document is updated as needed, then you load either {nextStepFormDesign} or {nextStepDesign}
🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
✅ SUCCESS:
- Complete plan presented clearly from {workflowPlanFile}
- User feedback collected and documented
- All refinements incorporated
- User explicitly approves the plan
- Plan ready for design phase
❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- Not loading plan from {workflowPlanFile}
- Skipping review categories
- Proceeding without user approval
- Not documenting refinements
Master Rule: Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
