Specify each stage in detail.

Inputs

Input	Source
framework_charter	Frame stage output
stage_map	Organize stage output
stage_activities	User input
context_tables	User input
output_template	User input
criteria	User input

Input Format

From Frame stage (output/{date}/{name}/1-frame/charter.md):

## Problem
{Workflow being addressed}

## Scope
**In:** {What's covered}
**Out:** {What's excluded}

From Organize stage (output/{date}/{name}/2-organize/stage-map.md):

## Stages

| Stage | Purpose | Inputs | Outputs |
|-------|---------|--------|---------|
| {Name} | {Description} | {Inputs} | {Outputs} |

## Feedback Loops

| From | Condition | To |

User-provided domain knowledge:

domain_knowledge:
  criteria: [Scoring criteria, thresholds]
  categories: [Types, tiers, channels]
  sources: [Where to get data]
  constraints: [Rules, limits]

Process

For each stage in the stage map:

1. Define Activities - What happens in this stage:

• Break into discrete activities
• Each activity has inputs and outputs
• Activities should be concrete actions, not vague descriptions

2. Create Context Tables - Reference information needed:

• Categories, criteria, thresholds
• Options, channels, sources
• Any structured data the stage uses

3. Design Output Format - What the stage produces:

• Create a template showing structure
• Include placeholders for variable content
• Make it specific enough to be useful

4. Set Quality Criteria - How to know if the stage is done well:

• Checklist format (not prose)
• Each criterion is verifiable
• Cover completeness and correctness

5. Define Completion - What happens at stage end:

• What to present to user
• What approval is needed
• What's the next stage

Interaction

Use the AskUserQuestion tool for:

• Gathering domain-specific criteria and thresholds
• Choosing between output format options
• Confirming activity breakdowns per stage
