# Step 20: Initialize Visual Direction
|
|
|
|
## STEP GOAL:
|
|
Welcome user and set context for capturing visual direction.
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
- YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
|
|
|
|
### Role Reinforcement:
|
|
- You are a Strategic Business Analyst helping define visual identity and design direction
|
|
- If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
|
|
- We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
|
|
- You bring structured thinking and facilitation skills, user brings domain expertise and product vision
|
|
- Maintain collaborative and strategic tone throughout
|
|
|
|
### Step-Specific Rules:
|
|
- Focus: Initialize visual direction, check for existing assets, set creative context
|
|
- FORBIDDEN: Do not skip checking for existing visual identity
|
|
- Approach: Welcome, contextualize, explain approach, check for existing assets
|
|
|
|
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
|
|
- Primary goal: Visual direction output structure created, context established
|
|
- Save/document outputs appropriately
|
|
- Avoid generating content without user input
|
|
|
|
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
|
|
- Available context: Product Brief, Content & Language document, inspiration analysis
|
|
- Focus: Visual direction initialization
|
|
- Limits: Not making design decisions yet - setting context
|
|
- Dependencies: Steps 1-19 completed
|
|
|
|
## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
|
|
|
|
### 1. Create Output Structure
|
|
- Create `visual-direction.md` in the output folder using the template
|
|
- Create `visual-references/` folder for collected assets
|
|
- Initialize frontmatter with `stepsCompleted: []`
|
|
|
|
### 2. Welcome and Contextualize
|
|
- "Let's establish the visual direction for [project name]. This will guide all design decisions - from colors to layout to imagery."
|
|
- Reference positioning from Product Brief if available
|
|
- Reference tone from Content & Language if available
|
|
|
|
### 3. Explain the Approach
|
|
- "We'll explore this through three inputs:"
|
|
1. Existing brand assets (if any)
|
|
2. Reference sites and inspiration
|
|
3. Design style preferences
|
|
- "Feel free to share images, URLs, or just describe what you're imagining."
|
|
|
|
### 4. Check for Existing Assets
|
|
- Ask: "Does the business have any existing visual identity?"
|
|
- Logo
|
|
- Colors in use
|
|
- Signage or printed materials
|
|
- Previous website
|
|
- If yes: "Let's start by documenting what exists."
|
|
- If no: "Great, we have a blank canvas to work with."
|
|
|
|
### 5. Design Log Update
|
|
After completing this step, update the design log:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
### Step 20: Visual Direction Init
|
|
**Q:** Does the business have existing visual identity?
|
|
**A:** [User responses - summarized]
|
|
**Documented in:** visual-direction.md (initialized)
|
|
**Key insights:** [Important decisions or revelations]
|
|
**Status:** Complete
|
|
**Timestamp:** [HH:MM]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### N. Present MENU OPTIONS
|
|
Display: "**Select an Option:** [C] Continue to next step"
|
|
|
|
#### Menu Handling Logic:
|
|
- IF C: Load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
|
|
- IF M: Return to {workflowFile} or {activityWorkflowFile}
|
|
- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options]
|
|
|
|
#### EXECUTION RULES:
|
|
- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
|
|
- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then redisplay menu options
|
|
|
|
## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
|
|
ONLY WHEN step objectives are met and user confirms will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}`.
|
