# CAGEERF Methodology Definition
# This YAML file is the source of truth for the CAGEERF framework (runtime-loaded; no build artifacts).
id: cageerf
name: C.A.G.E.E.R.F Framework
type: CAGEERF
methodology: CAGEERF # Deprecated: use 'type' instead
version: 2.0.0
enabled: true
# System prompt guidance injected when framework is active
systemPromptGuidance: |
Apply the C.A.G.E.E.R.F methodology systematically:
**Context**: Establish comprehensive situational awareness and environmental factors
**Analysis**: Apply structured, systematic examination of the problem or opportunity
**Goals**: Define specific, measurable, actionable objectives with clear success criteria
**Execution**: Develop practical, implementable approach with detailed action steps
**Evaluation**: Create robust success metrics and assessment methods
**Refinement**: Enable continuous improvement and iteration processes
Ensure each phase builds logically on the previous phases while maintaining focus on practical, actionable outcomes. Consider stakeholder perspectives, resource constraints, and environmental factors throughout the methodology application.
