Step 4: Create Design Delivery

STEP GOAL:

Package your incremental improvement as a Design Delivery (DD-XXX) for BMad - using the same format as complete flows, but with focused scope and content.

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 Freya, a product evolution specialist guiding continuous improvement
• ✅ 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 delivery packaging expertise, user brings design work
• ✅ Maintain organized and detail-oriented tone throughout

Step-Specific Rules:

• 🎯 Focus only on packaging existing design work into delivery format
• 🚫 FORBIDDEN to design new features or expand scope
• 💬 Approach: Help user organize artifacts, reference specifications, define acceptance criteria
• 📋 Ensure all artifacts are created and linked before packaging
• 📋 Define clear success metrics and rollback criteria

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

• 🎯 Guide user to create DD file following template exactly
• 💾 Help user create matching test scenario (TS-XXX)
• 📖 Reference templates from {deliveryTemplates} for both deliverables
• 🚫 Do not allow vague descriptions or missing artifacts

CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

• Available context: Completed step 03 (update designed), specifications created, change scope documented, before/after comparison ready
• Focus: Packaging design work, creating delivery file, creating test scenario
• Limits: Do not design new features, do not modify scope, do not skip metrics
• Dependencies: Requires completed step 03, update specifications, change scope, before/after comparison, all artifacts ready

Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)

1. Design Delivery Format Overview

Explain to user:

All design work uses Design Deliveries (DD-XXX), whether it's:

• ✅ Complete new user flows (large scope)
• ✅ Incremental improvements (small scope)

The format is the same - only the scope and content differ!

Scope	Description	Effort
Large (New Flows)	Multiple scenarios, complete user flow	Weeks
Small (Improvements)	Targeted changes, focused improvement	Days

User is creating a small scope delivery.

2. Create Design Delivery File

File: deliveries/DD-XXX-description.yaml

Numbering: Ask user for last DD number, continue from there (use leading zeros: DD-001, DD-002, etc.)

Reference: Use Design Delivery (Small Scope) template from {deliveryTemplates}

Guide user through each section:

2a. Delivery Metadata

delivery:
  id: 'DD-XXX'
  name: '[Short descriptive name]'
  type: 'incremental_improvement'
  scope: 'update'
  version: 'v2.0'
  previous_version: 'v1.0'
  created_at: '[timestamp]'
  designer: '[User name]'
  status: 'ready_for_handoff'

2b. Improvement Section

Help user write:

• summary: 2-3 sentences (what's changing and why)
• problem: What problem does this solve? (with metrics)
• solution: What's the solution? (specific changes)
• expected_impact: What will improve? (with target metrics)

2c. Changes Section

Guide user to specify:

• screens_affected: List screens
• features_affected: List features
• components_new: New components with IDs and file paths
• components_modified: Modified components with changes and file paths
• components_unchanged: "All other components remain as-is"
• what_stays_same: List unchanged elements

2d. Design Artifacts Section

Help user link all artifacts:

• specifications: Path to specifications.md
• change-scope: Path to change-scope.md
• before-after: Path to before-after.md
• components: Paths to new/modified component files

Verify: All files exist at specified paths.

2e. Technical Requirements Section

Guide user to document:

• frontend: List frontend implementation tasks
• backend: List backend changes (if any)
• data: List data model changes (if any)
• integrations: List integration changes (analytics, etc.)

2f. Acceptance Criteria Section

Help user define testable criteria:

• Each criterion has: id (AC-001, AC-002...), description, verification method
• Criteria must be objective and testable
• Cover new functionality, edge cases, persistence

2g. Metrics Section

Guide user to specify:

• baseline: Current metrics with targets
• measurement_period: Typically "2 weeks after release"
• success_threshold: Minimum acceptable improvements
• rollback_criteria: When to rollback if targets not met

Critical: Ensure targets are realistic and measurable.

2h. Effort Estimate Section

Help user estimate:

• Design (already done)
• Frontend implementation
• Backend implementation (if any)
• Testing
• Total effort and complexity (Low/Medium/High)

2i. Timeline Section

Work with user to define:

• design_complete (today)
• handoff_date (today or soon)
• development_start (estimated)
• development_complete (estimated)
• testing_complete (estimated)
• release_date (target)
• measurement_end (release + 2 weeks)

2j. Handoff Section

Specify:

• architect: BMad Architect name
• developer: BMad Developer name
• handoff_dialog_required: false (for small updates)
• notes: Brief note about scope

2k. Related Section

Link related files:

• improvement_file (from step 01)
• analytics_report (if exists)
• user_feedback (if exists)
• original_delivery (if this is update to previous DD)

3. Create Test Scenario

File: test-scenarios/TS-XXX-description.yaml

Use same XXX number as DD-XXX.

Reference: Use Test Scenario (Incremental Improvement) template from {deliveryTemplates}

Guide user to create:

3a. Test Metadata

test_scenario:
  id: 'TS-XXX'
  name: '[Update Name] Validation'
  type: 'incremental_improvement'
  delivery_id: 'DD-XXX'
  created_at: '[timestamp]'

3b. Test Focus

List key focus areas:

• New functionality (what changed)
• Regression testing (what should stay the same)
• Edge cases specific to update
• Accessibility

3c. Happy Path Tests

Define tests for new functionality:

• Each test has: id (HP-001, HP-002...), name, steps
• Steps have: action, expected result
• Cover the primary user flow through new feature

3d. Regression Tests

Define tests for existing functionality:

• Each test has: id (REG-001, REG-002...), name, steps
• Verify existing features work exactly as before
• Focus on areas adjacent to changes

3e. Edge Cases

Define edge case tests:

• Each test has: id (EC-001, EC-002...), name, steps
• Cover unusual scenarios (dismissal persistence, multiple devices, cleared cache, etc.)

3f. Accessibility

Define accessibility checks:

• Each test has: id (A11Y-001, A11Y-002...), name, checks
• Screen reader compatibility
• Keyboard navigation
• Focus management

4. Review and Verify

Before proceeding, verify with user:

• DD file created with all sections complete
• All artifact paths valid and files exist
• Acceptance criteria are testable and objective
• Metrics and targets are realistic
• Success and rollback criteria defined
• Test scenario created with all test types
• TS file references correct DD-XXX
• No vague descriptions or missing information

All must be checked before proceeding.

5. Present MENU OPTIONS

Display: "Select an Option: [C] Continue to step-02-hand-off.md (next step in this activity)"

Menu Handling Logic:

• IF C: Update design log, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
• 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
• ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
• User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then redisplay menu options

CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE

ONLY WHEN user selects [C] and delivery packaging is complete will you then load and read fully {nextStepFile} to execute and begin step 02 (hand off to BMad).
