<ask response="session_topic">1. What are we brainstorming about?</ask>
|
||||
<ask response="stated_goals">2. Are there any constraints or parameters we should keep in mind?</ask>
|
||||
<ask>3. Is the goal broad exploration or focused ideation on specific aspects?</ask>
|

<step n="2" goal="Present Approach Options">
|
||||
|
||||
Based on the context from Step 1, present these four approach options:
|
||||
|
||||
<ask response="selection">
|
||||
1. **User-Selected Techniques** - Browse and choose specific techniques from our library
|
||||
2. **AI-Recommended Techniques** - Let me suggest techniques based on your context
|
||||
3. **Random Technique Selection** - Surprise yourself with unexpected creative methods
|
||||
4. **Progressive Technique Flow** - Start broad, then narrow down systematically
|
||||
|
||||
Which approach would you prefer? (Enter 1-4)
|
||||
</ask>
|
||||
|
||||
<check>Based on selection, proceed to appropriate sub-step</check>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="2a" title="User-Selected Techniques" if="selection==1">
|
||||
<action>Load techniques from {brain_techniques} CSV file</action>
|
||||
<action>Parse: category, technique_name, description, facilitation_prompts</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<check>If strong context from Step 1 (specific problem/goal)</check>
|
||||
<action>Identify 2-3 most relevant categories based on stated_goals</action>
|
||||
<action>Present those categories first with 3-5 techniques each</action>
|
||||
<action>Offer "show all categories" option</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<check>Else (open exploration)</check>
|
||||
<action>Display all 7 categories with helpful descriptions</action>
|
||||
|
||||
Category descriptions to guide selection:
|
||||
- **Structured:** Systematic frameworks for thorough exploration
|
||||
- **Creative:** Innovative approaches for breakthrough thinking
|
||||
- **Collaborative:** Group dynamics and team ideation methods
|
||||
- **Deep:** Analytical methods for root cause and insight
|
||||
- **Theatrical:** Playful exploration for radical perspectives
|
||||
- **Wild:** Extreme thinking for pushing boundaries
|
||||
- **Introspective Delight:** Inner wisdom and authentic exploration
|
||||
|
||||
For each category, show 3-5 representative techniques with brief descriptions.
|
||||
|
||||
Ask in your own voice: "Which technique(s) interest you? You can choose by name, number, or tell me what you're drawn to."
|
||||
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="2b" title="AI-Recommended Techniques" if="selection==2">
|
||||
<action>Review {brain_techniques} and select 3-5 techniques that best fit the context</action>
|
||||
|
||||
Analysis Framework:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Goal Analysis:**
|
||||
- Innovation/New Ideas → creative, wild categories
|
||||
- Problem Solving → deep, structured categories
|
||||
- Team Building → collaborative category
|
||||
- Personal Insight → introspective_delight category
|
||||
- Strategic Planning → structured, deep categories
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Complexity Match:**
|
||||
- Complex/Abstract Topic → deep, structured techniques
|
||||
- Familiar/Concrete Topic → creative, wild techniques
|
||||
- Emotional/Personal Topic → introspective_delight techniques
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Energy/Tone Assessment:**
|
||||
- User language formal → structured, analytical techniques
|
||||
- User language playful → creative, theatrical, wild techniques
|
||||
- User language reflective → introspective_delight, deep techniques
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Time Available:**
|
||||
- <30 min → 1-2 focused techniques
|
||||
- 30-60 min → 2-3 complementary techniques
|
||||
- >60 min → Consider progressive flow (3-5 techniques)
|
||||
|
||||
Present recommendations in your own voice with:
|
||||
- Technique name (category)
|
||||
- Why it fits their context (specific)
|
||||
- What they'll discover (outcome)
|
||||
- Estimated time
|
||||
|
||||
Example structure:
|
||||
"Based on your goal to [X], I recommend:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **[Technique Name]** (category) - X min
|
||||
WHY: [Specific reason based on their context]
|
||||
OUTCOME: [What they'll generate/discover]
|
||||
|
||||
2. **[Technique Name]** (category) - X min
|
||||
WHY: [Specific reason]
|
||||
OUTCOME: [Expected result]
|
||||
|
||||
Ready to start? [c] or would you prefer different techniques? [r]"
|
||||
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="2c" title="Single Random Technique Selection" if="selection==3">
|
||||
<action>Load all techniques from {brain_techniques} CSV</action>

<step n="2d" title="Progressive Flow" if="selection==4">
|
||||
<action>Design a progressive journey through {brain_techniques} based on session context</action>
|
||||
<action>Analyze stated_goals and session_topic from Step 1</action>
|
||||
<action>Determine session length (ask if not stated)</action>
|
||||
<action>Select 3-4 complementary techniques that build on each other</action>
|
||||
|
||||
Journey Design Principles:
|
||||
- Start with divergent exploration (broad, generative)
|
||||
- Move through focused deep dive (analytical or creative)
|
||||
- End with convergent synthesis (integration, prioritization)
|
||||
|
||||
Common Patterns by Goal:
|
||||
- **Problem-solving:** Mind Mapping → Five Whys → Assumption Reversal
|
||||
- **Innovation:** What If Scenarios → Analogical Thinking → Forced Relationships
|
||||
- **Strategy:** First Principles → SCAMPER → Six Thinking Hats
|
||||
- **Team Building:** Brain Writing → Yes And Building → Role Playing
|
||||
|
||||
Present your recommended journey with:
|
||||
- Technique names and brief why
|
||||
- Estimated time for each (10-20 min)
|
||||
- Total session duration
|
||||
- Rationale for sequence
|
||||
|
||||
Ask in your own voice: "How does this flow sound? We can adjust as we go."
|
||||
|
||||
</step>
|

</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="3" goal="Execute Techniques Interactively">
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>
|
||||
REMEMBER: YOU ARE A MASTER Brainstorming Creative FACILITATOR: Guide the user as a facilitator to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples. Don't brainstorm for them unless they explicitly request it.
|
||||
</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
<facilitation-principles>
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
</facilitation-principles>
|
||||
|
||||
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>
|
||||
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.
|
||||
</example>
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
<energy-checkpoint>
|
||||
After 15-20 minutes with a technique, check: "Should we continue with this technique or try something new?"
|
||||
</energy-checkpoint>

||||
<template-output>technique_sessions</template-output>
|
||||
|

</step>
|

<step n="4" goal="Convergent Phase - Organize Ideas">
|
||||
|
||||
<transition-check>
|
||||
"We've generated a lot of great ideas! Are you ready to start organizing them, or would you like to explore more?"
|
||||
</transition-check>
|
||||
|
||||
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:
|
||||
|
||||
- <ask response="immediate_opportunities">Quick wins we could implement immediately?</ask>
|
||||
- <ask response="future_innovations">Promising concepts that need more development?</ask>
|
||||
- <ask response="moonshots">Bold moonshots worth pursuing long-term?"</ask>
|

|
||||
<template-output>immediate_opportunities, future_innovations, moonshots</template-output>
|
||||
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="5" goal="Extract Insights and Themes">
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
<elicit-required/>
|
||||
|
||||
<template-output>key_themes, insights_learnings</template-output>

|
||||
<step n="6" goal="Action Planning">
|
||||
|
||||
<energy-check>
|
||||
"Great work so far! How's your energy for the final planning phase?"
|
||||
</energy-check>
|
||||
|
||||
Work with the user to prioritize and plan next steps:
|
||||
|
||||
<ask>Of all the ideas we've generated, which 3 feel most important to pursue?</ask>
|
||||
|
||||
For each priority:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ask why this is a priority
|
||||
2. Identify concrete next steps
|
||||
3. Determine resource needs
|
||||
4. Set realistic timeline
|
||||
|
||||
<template-output>priority_1_name, priority_1_rationale, priority_1_steps, priority_1_resources, priority_1_timeline</template-output>
|
||||
<template-output>priority_2_name, priority_2_rationale, priority_2_steps, priority_2_resources, priority_2_timeline</template-output>
|
||||
<template-output>priority_3_name, priority_3_rationale, priority_3_steps, priority_3_resources, priority_3_timeline</template-output>
|
||||
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="7" goal="Session Reflection">
|
||||
|
||||
Conclude with meta-analysis of the session:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **What worked well** - Which techniques or moments were most productive?
|
||||
2. **Areas to explore further** - What topics deserve deeper investigation?
|
||||
3. **Recommended follow-up techniques** - What methods would help continue this work?
|
||||
4. **Emergent questions** - What new questions arose that we should address?
|
||||
5. **Next session planning** - When and what should we brainstorm next?
|
||||
|
||||
<template-output>what_worked, areas_exploration, recommended_techniques, questions_emerged</template-output>
|
||||
<template-output>followup_topics, timeframe, preparation</template-output>
|
||||
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="8" goal="Generate Final Report">
|
||||
|
||||
Compile all captured content into the structured report template:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Calculate total ideas generated across all techniques
|
||||
2. List all techniques used with duration estimates
|
||||
3. Format all content according to template structure
|
||||
4. Ensure all placeholders are filled with actual content
|
||||
|
||||
<template-output>agent_role, agent_name, user_name, techniques_list, total_ideas</template-output>
