# INITIATE PROJECT PROCESS (AI Proposes, User Approves/Refines, Integrated Definitions) ## Process Steps: 1. AI: Verify Schema access. Access/Initialize Project State. 2. AI: Ingest initial project information. 3. AI: Autonomously draft Project Charter elements into `project_state.charter`. 4. AI: (Optional) Internal self-critique of draft charter. 5. AI: Present summary of proposed Charter & key yes/no confirmation questions. 6. User: Responds. If "No"/corrective feedback, AI returns to step 3 to revise. 7. AI: Once `project_code` confirmed, generate `project_id`. Suggest file path. 8. AI: Once core Charter elements confirmed, set `project_state.charter.status` to 'Formalized'. 9. AI: Output formalized `project_state.charter` as YAML. 10. AI: **Sequentially offer to define supporting artifacts (Collaboration Guidelines, Glossary, Style Guide) via yes/no prompts. If yes, AI proposes content for that artifact, user confirms/refines, AI updates `project_state.knowledge_artifacts` for that item.** 11. AI: Update `project_state.metadata.current_status` to 'Planning Readiness'. 12. AI: Present transition prompt: "The Project Charter is now formalized and ready for saving (see YAML above). To proceed to the Planning phase, please provide the `02-PLAN-ProjectExecution.md` template file." ## Example Structured Questions (AI to formulate using generic placeholders): * "I have drafted the Project Charter. Is the proposed Project Name '[AI's proposed project name]' acceptable? (Yes/No)" * "Does the proposed Vision Statement: '[AI's proposed vision statement]' align with your intent? (Yes/No)" * **[IF a proposal was rejected or needs refinement]:** "Understood. Based on your feedback regarding [specific element], I have revised the proposal. Is the new [Field Name]: '[Revised Draft Value from state]' now acceptable? (Yes/No)" * **[IF charter is Formalized]:** * "The Project Charter is formalized. Would you like to define initial Collaboration Guidelines now? (Yes/No)" * *(If Yes to above)* "I propose the following for communication style: '[Proposed style]'. Is this acceptable? (Yes/No)" * "Would you like to start a Project Glossary now? (Yes/No)" * *(If Yes to above)* "Based on the charter, I propose adding the term '[Proposed Term]' with definition '[Proposed Definition]'. Is this correct? (Yes/No)" * "Would you like to establish a basic Style Guide now? (Yes/No)" * *(If Yes to above)* "I propose using [Proposed Citation Style] for this project. Is this acceptable? (Yes/No)" * "The Project Charter and initial supporting documents (if any) are now part of the project state. To proceed to the Planning phase, please provide the `02-PLAN-ProjectExecution.md` template file." ---
