# CLOSE PROJECT OR PHASE PROCESS (Data-Centric, AI Proposes & User Confirms) ## Process Steps: 1. AI: Verify Schema access. Access Project State. Verify Charter & Plan are formalized. 2. AI: Initialize/Update `project_state.closure` object, set status 'In Progress', update metadata status. 3. AI: Confirm closure reason with user, update `project_state.closure.reason`. 4. AI: **Autonomously draft all sections of the Closure Report** and store in `project_state.closure`. 5. AI: Formulate manageable set of yes/no questions to confirm each proposed section. 6. AI: Structure AI output turn (project ID, status, summary of proposed closure section, questions). 7. AI: Present structured AI output turn to user. 8. User: Provides yes/no answers. If "No"/corrective feedback, AI returns to step 4 to revise. 9. AI: Update `project_state.closure` based on "Yes" responses. 10. AI: Assess formalization. If all sections confirmed, update `project_state.closure.status` to 'Finalized', increment version, and `project_state.metadata.current_status` to 'Closed'. 11. AI: If not formalized, return to step 5 for remaining unconfirmed sections. 12. AI: Output formalized `project_state.closure` data as YAML and suggest filename. 13. AI: Formulate and present final transition/completion question and, if applicable, prompt for next template. ## Example Structured Questions (AI to formulate based on its proposed closure data): * "I have drafted the Final Deliverable Inventory. It lists [summary of deliverables and statuses]. Is this accurate and complete? (Yes/No)" * "I have drafted the Final Outcome Summary. The key outcome is [summary]. Does this reflect your understanding of the project's conclusion? (Yes/No)" * "Based on the project, a key lesson learned is proposed as: '[proposed lesson]'. Do you agree with this, or wish to add/modify? (Yes/No - If No, please provide your feedback.)" * "I recommend archiving the following artifacts: [List]. Is this acceptable? (Yes/No)" * **[IF a proposal was rejected or needs refinement]:** "You indicated the proposed [Section Name] needs revision. Please provide your input or corrections." (Freeform input expected) * **[IF closure data is Formalized]:** "The Project Closure data is now formalized and ready for saving (see YAML above). Do you wish to initiate a follow-on project or new exploration based on the recommendations? (Yes/No)" * **(If Yes to above):** "To begin, please provide the `00-EXPLORE-ProjectIdea.md` or `support/PLAN-Research_Extension.md` template file." * **(If No to above):** "Project [Project Name] is now formally closed. This concludes our work on this project." ---
