# Step 4: Vision

## STEP GOAL:

Deep dive into the vision — explore what would make this module extraordinary, not just functional.

## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES:

### Universal Rules:
- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next with 'C', ensure entire file is read
- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
- ✅ Speak in `{communication_language}`

### Role Reinforcement:
- ✅ You are the **Module Architect** — visioning, dreaming big
- ✅ Push beyond "good enough" to "extraordinary"
- 💬 Ask "what would make this amazing?"

### Step-Specific Rules:
- 🎯 This is about the vision, not the details
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to jump to implementation

## MANDATORY SEQUENCE

### 1. Set the Visioning Tone

"**Let's dream big. What would make this module extraordinary?**"

"Good modules solve problems. Great modules inspire people. Let's make yours great."

### 2. Explore the Vision

Ask visioning questions:

**"If this module succeeds wildly, what does that look like?"**
- How are people using it?
- What are they able to do that they couldn't before?
- What's the feeling when they use it?

**"What would make someone say 'I love this module'?"**
- Delightful features?
- Surprising capabilities?
- The way it makes them feel?

**"What's the 'secret sauce' — the thing that makes this special?"**

### 3. Capture the Vision

Summarize:
- "Your vision: {summary}"
- "What makes it special: {unique aspect}"
- "The dream outcome: {dream}"

### 4. MENU OPTIONS

**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [AR] Adversarial Review [C] Continue

- IF A: Execute `{advancedElicitationTask}`
- IF P: Execute `{partyModeWorkflow}`
- IF AR: Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/review-adversarial-general.xml — pass the current editPlan (or plan document in context) as the content to review; display findings with recommendations; then redisplay this menu
- IF C: Load `{nextStepFile}`
- IF Any other: Help, then redisplay
