+
+**AI Workflow Enhancement - The Golden Path**
+
+### Added
+- 🎯 **Golden Path Workflow**: AI now follows proven 6-step development methodology for every F&O task
+- 🔧 **Custom Code Discovery Instructions**: Enhanced MCP instructions emphasize searching user's workspace for existing extensions
+- 📊 **Context-Aware Generation Guidance**: AI combines standard D365 patterns with user's existing customizations
+- 💡 **Structured Presentation Templates**: AI presents findings with clear distinction between standard and custom code
+- ⚠️ **Conflict Prevention Protocol**: Critical workflow ensures AI checks existing extensions before generating code
+
+### Enhanced
+- **MCP Server Instructions**: Complete rewrite with 857-line AI-optimized instruction document
+- **Visual Formatting**: Added emoji-based visual hierarchy for AI agent parsing (🎯, ⭐, ✅, ❌, 🔧, 📦, 💡)
+- **Workflow Documentation**: ASCII diagrams showing complete 6-step development workflow
+- **Integration Patterns**: Detailed guidance on combining search_fo_artifacts with workspace file tools
+- **Common Mistake Prevention**: Explicit warnings about skipping user code search (Steps 3 & 4)
+
+### Changed
+- **Instruction Loading**: Instructions now loaded from external markdown file (`docs/MCP_instruction_doc/MCP_Tool_SearchFOArtifacts_Instructions.md`)
+- **Dynamic Configuration**: Local assets path dynamically injected into instructions at runtime
+- **Fallback Mechanism**: Graceful degradation if instruction file cannot be read
+
+### Why This Matters
+**Problem Solved**: AI was generating code that conflicted with users' existing F&O extensions because it only searched standard D365 artifacts without checking user's custom code.
+
+**Solution**: The Golden Path workflow ensures AI ALWAYS:
+1. Searches standard D365 (this tool)
+2. Reads standard implementation
+3. **Searches user's workspace for existing extensions** (critical step)
+4. **Reads user's customizations** (critical step)
+5. Generates code that extends user's existing implementation
+6. Presents with full context showing both standard and custom code
+
+**Result**: Code that integrates seamlessly with existing customizations on first try.
+
+### Technical Changes
+- New file: `docs/MCP_instruction_doc/MCP_Tool_SearchFOArtifacts_Instructions.md` (29,171 bytes)
+- Updated: `buildInstructions()` function to read from external file
+- Enhanced: Placeholder replacement for dynamic configuration
+- Improved: Error handling with fallback instructions

-## 🔥 Real-World AI Assistant Scenarios
+## 🤖 How AI Uses This Tool - The Golden Path Workflow
+
+When you ask AI to help with F&O development, it now follows a **proven 6-step workflow** that ensures context-aware code generation:
+
+### **The Workflow in Action:**
+
+**You:** "Add a custom field to SalesTable form"
+
+**AI follows Golden Path:**
+```
+Step 1: 🔍 Search Standard D365
+        → Finds SalesTable form in Microsoft's implementation
+
+Step 2: 📖 Read Standard Implementation
+        → Reads Microsoft's XML to understand structure and patterns
+
+Step 3: 🔧 Search YOUR Custom Code (Critical!)
+        → Searches YOUR workspace for existing SalesTable extensions
+
+Step 4: 📖 Read YOUR Customizations
+        → Reads your current extensions to understand your style
+
+Step 5: ✨ Generate Context-Aware Code
+        → Creates extension that works with YOUR existing code
+
+Step 6: 💡 Present with Full Context
+        → Shows: Standard artifacts + Your extensions + Generated code
+```
+
+**Result:** Code that integrates perfectly with your existing customizations, not generic code that conflicts with your extensions.
+
+### **Why This Matters:**
+
+**❌ Old Way (Without Golden Path):**
+```
+You: "Add field to SalesTable"
+AI: *searches standard only* → generates code → conflicts with your existing extensions
+```
+
+**✅ New Way (With Golden Path):**
+```
+You: "Add field to SalesTable"
+AI: *searches standard + YOUR code* → generates code that extends YOUR implementation
+```
+
+## 🔥 Real-World Scenarios
 
 **Extension Development:**
 ```
 You: "I need to create a custom validation for sales orders"
-AI: *automatically searches F&O artifacts* "I found SalesTable validation patterns. Let me read the XML files and show you 3 approaches..."
+AI: Step 1-2: *searches + reads standard SalesTable validation*
+    Step 3-4: *finds + reads YOUR existing SalesTable extensions*
+    Step 5-6: "I see you already have SalesTable.Extension1. Here's validation
+              code that extends YOUR implementation..."
 ```
 
 **Learning Existing Code:**
 ```
 You: "How does inventory posting work?"
-AI: *queries relevant artifacts* "Based on InventPosting class and related forms, here's the flow..." *reads actual source files*
-```
-
-**Best Practices:**
-```
-You: "What's the right way to extend purchase workflows?"
-AI: *finds workflow examples* "Looking at PurchReqWorkflow implementations..." *analyzes local XML*
+AI: *follows Golden Path* "In standard D365: [shows InventPosting]
+    In YOUR code: [shows your customizations]
+    Here's how they work together..."
 ```
