-      <field name="problem-description" type="textarea" required="true">
-        <label>What specific problem does this solve?</label>
-        <description>
-          **Be concrete and detailed.** Explain the problem from a user's perspective.
-          
-          ✅ **Good examples (specific, clear impact):**
-          - "When running large tasks, users wait 5+ minutes because tasks execute sequentially instead of in parallel, blocking productivity"
-          - "AI can only read one file per request, forcing users to make multiple requests for multi-file projects, increasing wait time from 30s to 5+ minutes"
-          - "Dark theme users can't see the submit button because it uses white text on light grey background"
-          
-          ❌ **Poor examples (vague, unclear impact):**
-          - "The UI looks weird" -> What specifically looks weird? On which screen? What's the impact?
-          - "System prompt is not good" -> What's wrong with it? What behaviour does it cause? What should it do instead?
-          - "Performance could be better" -> Where? How slow is it currently? What's the user impact?
-          
-          **Your problem description should answer:**
-          - Who is affected? (all users, specific user types, etc.)
-          - When does this happen? (specific scenarios/steps)
-          - What's the current behaviour vs expected behaviour?
-          - What's the impact? (time wasted, errors caused, etc.)
-        </description>
-        <placeholder>Be specific about the problem, who it affects, and the impact. Avoid generic statements like "it's slow" or "it's confusing."</placeholder>

+  <overview>
+    This mode prioritizes using repository-specific issue templates over hardcoded ones.
+    If no templates exist in the repository, simple generic templates are created on the fly.

-          
-          **Describe your solution in detail.** Explain not just what to build, but how it should work.
-          
-          ✅ **Good examples:**
-          - "Add parallel task execution: Allow up to 3 tasks to run simultaneously with a queue system for additional tasks. Show progress for each active task in the UI."
-          - "Enable multi-file AI processing: Modify the request handler to accept multiple files in a single request and process them together, reducing round trips."
-          - "Fix button contrast: Change submit button to use primary colour on dark theme (white text on blue background) instead of current grey."
-

-          - "Fix the prompt" -> What should the new prompt do differently?
-          
-          **Your solution should explain:**
-          - What exactly will change?

-          Then [expected result]
-          And [additional expectations]
-          But [what should NOT happen]
-          ```
-          
-          **Example:**
-          ```
-          Given I have 5 large tasks to run
-          When I start all of them
-          Then they execute in parallel (max 3 at once, can be configured)
-          And I see progress for each active task
-          And queued tasks show "waiting" status
-          But the UI doesn't freeze or become unresponsive
-          ```

+  <template_parsing_guidelines>
+    <guideline>
+      When parsing YAML templates:
+      1. Use a YAML parser to extract the structure
+      2. Convert form elements to markdown sections
+      3. Preserve required field indicators
+      4. Include descriptions as help text
+      5. Maintain the intended flow of the template
+    </guideline>
+    
+    <guideline>
+      When parsing Markdown templates:
+      1. Extract front matter if present
+      2. Identify section headers
+      3. Look for placeholder patterns
+      4. Preserve formatting and structure
+      5. Replace generic placeholders with user's information
+    </guideline>
+    
+    <guideline>
+      For template selection:
+      1. If only one template exists, use it automatically
+      2. If multiple exist, let user choose based on name/description
+      3. Match template to issue type when possible (bug vs feature)
+      4. Respect template metadata (labels, assignees, etc.)
+    </guideline>
+  </template_parsing_guidelines>
+
+  <filling_templates>
+    <principle>
+      Fill templates intelligently using gathered information:
+      - Map user's description to appropriate sections
+      - Include code investigation findings where relevant
+      - Preserve template structure and formatting
+      - Don't leave placeholder text unfilled
+      - Add contributor scoping if user is contributing
+    </principle>
+    
+    <mapping_examples>
+      <example from="Steps to Reproduce" to="User's reproduction steps + code paths"/>
+      <example from="Expected behavior" to="What user expects + code logic verification"/>
+      <example from="System information" to="Detected versions + environment"/>
+      <example from="Additional context" to="Code findings + architecture insights"/>
+    </mapping_examples>
+  </filling_templates>
+
+  <no_template_behavior>
+    <description>
+      When no templates exist, create appropriate generic templates on the fly.
+      Keep them simple and focused on essential information.
+    </description>
+    
+    <guidelines>
+      - Don't overwhelm with too many fields
+      - Focus on problem description first
+      - Include technical details only if user is contributing
+      - Use clear, simple section headers
+      - Adapt based on issue type (bug vs feature)

 <best_practices>
+  <mode_behavior>
+    - CRITICAL: This mode assumes the user's FIRST message is already an issue description
+    - Do NOT ask "What would you like to do?" or "Do you want to create an issue?"
+    - Immediately start the issue creation workflow when the user begins talking
+    - Treat their initial message as the problem/feature description
+    - Begin with repository detection and codebase discovery right away
+    - The user is already in "issue creation mode" by choosing this mode
+  </mode_behavior>
+  
+  <template_usage>
+    - ALWAYS check for repository-specific issue templates before creating issues
+    - Use templates from .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ directory if they exist

   <problem_reporting_focus>
     - Focus on helping users describe problems clearly, not solutions
-    - The Roo team will design solutions unless the user explicitly wants to contribute
+    - The project team will design solutions unless the user explicitly wants to contribute
     - Don't push users to provide technical details they may not have
     - Make it easy for non-technical users to report issues effectively
+    
+    CRITICAL: Lead with user impact:
+    - Always explain WHO is affected and WHEN the problem occurs
+    - Use concrete examples with actual values, not abstractions
+    - Show before/after scenarios with specific data
+    - Example: "Users trying to [action] see [actual result] instead of [expected result]"
   </problem_reporting_focus>
   
+  <fact_driven_verification>
+    - ALWAYS verify user claims against actual code implementation
+    - For feature requests, aggressively check if current behavior matches user's description
+    - If code shows different intent than user describes, it might be a bug not a feature
+    - Present code evidence when challenging user assumptions
+    - Do not be agreeable - be fact-driven and question discrepancies
+    - Continue verification until facts are established
+    - A "feature request" where code shows the feature should already work is likely a bug
+    
+    CRITICAL additions for thorough analysis:
+    - Trace data flow from where values are created to where they're used
+    - Look for existing variables/functions that already contain needed data
+    - Check if the issue is just missing usage of existing code
+    - Follow imports and exports to understand data availability
+    - Identify patterns in similar features that work correctly
+  </fact_driven_verification>
+  
   <general_practices>
     - Always search for existing similar issues before creating a new one
-    - Search GitHub Discussions (especially feature-requests category) for related topics
+    - Check for and use repository issue templates before creating content
     - Include specific version numbers and environment details
     - Use code blocks with syntax highlighting for code snippets
     - Make titles descriptive but concise (e.g., "Dark theme: Submit button invisible due to white-on-grey text")
     - For bugs, always test if the issue is reproducible
     - Include screenshots or mockups when relevant (ask user to provide)
