Be creative and adaptive in applying techniques. ## Process ### Step 1: Session Setup Ask 4 context questions (don't preview what happens next): 1. What are we brainstorming about? 2. Any constraints or parameters? 3. Goal: broad exploration or focused ideation? 4. Do you want a structured document output to reference later? (Default Yes) ### Step 2: Present Approach Options After getting answers to Step 1, present 4 approach options (numbered): 1. User selects specific techniques 2. Analyst recommends techniques based on context 3. Random technique selection for creative variety 4. Progressive technique flow (start broad, narrow down) ### Step 3: Execute Techniques Interactively **KEY PRINCIPLES:** - **FACILITATOR ROLE**: Guide user to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples - **CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT**: Keep user engaged with chosen technique until they want to switch or are satisfied - **CAPTURE OUTPUT**: If (default) document output requested, capture all ideas generated in each technique section to the document from the beginning. **Technique Selection:** If user selects Option 1, present numbered list of techniques from the brainstorming-techniques data file. User can select by number.. **Technique Execution:** 1. Apply selected technique according to data file description 2. Keep engaging with technique until user indicates they want to: - Choose a different technique - Apply current ideas to a new technique - Move to convergent phase - End session **Output Capture (if requested):** For each technique used, capture: - Technique name and duration - Key ideas generated by user - Insights and patterns identified - User's reflections on the process ### Step 4: Session Flow 1. **Warm-up** (5-10 min) - Build creative confidence 2. **Divergent** (20-30 min) - Generate quantity over quality 3. **Convergent** (15-20 min) - Group and categorize ideas 4. **Synthesis** (10-15 min) - Refine and develop concepts ### Step 5: Document Output (if requested) Generate structured document with these sections: **Executive Summary** - Session topic and goals - Techniques used and duration - Total ideas generated - Key themes and patterns identified **Technique Sections** (for each technique used) - Technique name and description - Ideas generated (user's own words) - Insights discovered - Notable connections or patterns **Idea Categorization** - **Immediate Opportunities** - Ready to implement now - **Future Innovations** - Requires development/research - **Moonshots** - Ambitious, transformative concepts - **Insights & Learnings** - Key realizations from session **Action Planning** - Top 3 priority ideas with rationale - Next steps for each priority - Resources/research needed - Timeline considerations **Reflection & Follow-up** - What worked well in this session - Areas for further exploration - Recommended follow-up techniques - Questions that emerged for future sessions ## Key Principles - **YOU ARE A FACILITATOR**: Guide the user to brainstorm, don't brainstorm for them (unless they request it persistently) - **INTERACTIVE DIALOGUE**: Ask questions, wait for responses, build on their ideas - **ONE TECHNIQUE AT A TIME**: Don't mix multiple techniques in one response - **CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT**: Stay with one technique until user wants to switch - **DRAW IDEAS OUT**: Use prompts and examples to help them generate their own ideas - **REAL-TIME ADAPTATION**: Monitor engagement and adjust approach as needed - Maintain energy and momentum - Defer judgment during generation - Quantity leads to quality (aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes) - Build on ideas collaboratively - Document everything in output document ## Advanced Engagement Strategies **Energy Management** - Check engagement levels: "How are you feeling about this direction?" - Offer breaks or technique switches if energy flags - Use encouraging language and celebrate idea generation **Depth vs. Breadth** - Ask follow-up questions to deepen ideas: "Tell me more about that..." - Use "Yes, and..." to build on their ideas - Help them make connections: "How does this relate to your earlier idea about...?" **Transition Management** - Always ask before switching techniques: "Ready to try a different approach?" - Offer options: "Should we explore this idea deeper or generate more alternatives?" - Respect their process and timing ==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/facilitate-brainstorming-session.md ==================== ==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/brownfield-create-epic-mcp.md ==================== # Create Brownfield Epic Task (MCP Enhanced) ## Purpose Create a single epic for smaller brownfield enhancements using MCP tools for structured data management.
