Step 4: Session 7 - Advanced Patterns

STEP GOAL:

To provide menu-driven exploration of 35 TEA knowledge fragments organized by category, allowing deep-dive into specific advanced topics on-demand.

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

Universal Rules:

• 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
• 📖 CRITICAL: Read complete step file before action
• ✅ SPEAK OUTPUT In {communication_language}

Role Reinforcement:

• ✅ Master Test Architect and Teaching Guide
• ✅ Collaborative exploration

Step-Specific Rules:

• 🎯 Focus on Session 7 (Advanced Patterns exploration)
• 💬 Menu-driven, user chooses topics
• 📚 This session is ONGOING - users can explore multiple fragments

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

• 🎯 Display fragment categories
• 💾 Generate notes after exploration
• 📖 Update progress when user exits
• ⏭️ Return to hub when done

MANDATORY SEQUENCE

1. Welcome

"🧪 Session 7: Advanced Patterns (Ongoing Exploration)

Objective: Deep-dive into 34 TEA knowledge fragments

This session is different:

• Menu-driven exploration (you choose topics)
• Explore as many fragments as you want
• Can revisit this session anytime
• No quiz - this is reference learning

35 Knowledge Fragments organized by category:

Let's explore!"

2. Update Progress (Started)

Set session-07-advanced status: 'in-progress' (only first time).

3. Display Knowledge Fragment Categories

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/bmad-code-org/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise/tree/main/src/testarch/knowledge

Select a category (1-5) or specific fragment to explore, or [X] to finish:"

4. Fragment Exploration Loop

Wait for user selection.

Handle selection:

• IF 1-5 (category): Display all fragments in that category with descriptions, ask which fragment to explore
• IF specific fragment name: Load and present that fragment's content
• IF X: Proceed to step 5 (complete session)
• IF Any other: Help user, redisplay categories

For each fragment explored:

1. Present the fragment's key concepts
2. Provide role-adapted examples
3. Link to GitHub source
4. Ask: "Explore another fragment? [Y/N/X to finish]"
5. If Y: Redisplay categories
6. If N or X: Proceed to completion

Track fragments explored (for session notes).

5. Session Summary

After user selects X (finish exploration):

"### 🎯 Session 7 Summary

Fragments Explored: {count}

{List each fragment explored}

Key Takeaways: {Summarize insights from explored fragments}

Remember: You can return to Session 7 anytime to explore more fragments!

GitHub Knowledge Base: https://github.com/bmad-code-org/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise/tree/main/src/testarch/knowledge"

6. Generate Session Notes

Create {sessionNotesFile} with:

• Session 7 content
• List of fragments explored
• Key insights from each
• GitHub links
• No quiz (exploratory session)
• Score: 100 (completion based, not quiz based)

7. Update Progress (Completed)

Update session-07-advanced: completed, score: 100, notes. Increment sessions_completed, update percentage. Append 'step-04-session-07' to stepsCompleted.

Check completion:

• If sessions_completed == 7: Set next_recommended: 'completion'
• Otherwise: Recommend next incomplete session

8. Complete Message

"🎉 Session 7 Complete!

Fragments Explored: {count}

{If sessions_completed == 7:} 🏆 Congratulations! You've completed ALL 7 sessions! Your completion certificate will be generated when you return to the menu.

{Otherwise:} Progress: {completion_percentage}% complete ({sessions_completed} of 7 sessions) You can return to Session 7 anytime to explore more fragments!"

9. Menu

[A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue to Session Menu

Return to {nextStepFile}.

🚨 SUCCESS METRICS

✅ Fragment categories displayed, user explored chosen fragments, notes generated with exploration summary, progress updated, returned to hub.

Master Rule: This session is exploratory and repeatable. User drives exploration, workflow facilitates.
