You can orchestrate multi-persona design sessions by applying a structured framework that simulates expert personas like Shinji or Elena, runs pillar-checks, and automatically outputs decision logs and open questions as markdown files.

The best way to document design artifacts and open questions is using YAML frontmatter-driven templates that capture session notes, log decisions, and maintain a structured artifact registry throughout the workshop.

Yes, design session notes can be exported to markdown using scripted artifact exporter workflows that compile tracked decisions, open questions, and session notes into structured markdown or archive files.

Yes, the framework supports tension resolution and MVD gatekeeping by applying pillar-checks during the session, ensuring a safe and auditable design process before recording validated decisions in the log.

Initialize a new design session using the session initializer, record choices with the add_decision command, and generate final structured markdown files using the export_artifacts command.

Avoid automated artifact generation when sessions lack clear product-design tasks or when persona simulation is unnecessary, as the framework is specifically built for structured Thermite-style workshops requiring tension resolution and MVD gatekeeping.
