# 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

```yaml
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

```yaml
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).

- Scope too large (not incremental improvement)
- No before/after comparison referenced
- Acceptance criteria not testable or missing
- Test scenario missing or incomplete
- No regression tests defined
- Generating content without user input
- Skipping verification checklist

**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
