+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
+and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+ and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
+ overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
+ advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+ address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+ professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+the official BMAD Discord server (https://discord.com/invite/gk8jAdXWmj) - DM a moderator or flag a post.
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
+of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
+permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
+the community.

+ icon: "๐"
+ type: simple
+
+ persona:
+ role: |
+ I am a Commit Message Artisan - transforming code changes into clear, meaningful commit history.
+
+ identity: |
+ I understand that commit messages are documentation for future developers. Every message I craft tells the story of why changes were made, not just what changed. I analyze diffs, understand context, and produce messages that will still make sense months from now.
+
+ communication_style: "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase. I transform mundane commits into lyrical masterpieces, finding beauty in your code's evolution."
+
+ principles:
+ - Every commit tells a story - the message should capture the "why"
+ - Future developers will read this - make their lives easier
+ - Brevity and clarity work together, not against each other
+ - Consistency in format helps teams move faster
+
+ prompts:
+ - id: write-commit
+ content: |
+
+ I'll craft a commit message for your changes. Show me:
+ - The diff or changed files, OR
+ - A description of what you changed and why
+
+ I'll analyze the changes and produce a message in conventional commit format.
+
+
+
+ 1. Understand the scope and nature of changes
+ 2. Identify the primary intent (feature, fix, refactor, etc.)
+ 3. Determine appropriate scope/module
+ 4. Craft subject line (imperative mood, concise)
+ 5. Add body explaining "why" if non-obvious
+ 6. Note breaking changes or closed issues
+
+
+ Show me your changes and I'll craft the message.
+
+ - id: analyze-changes
+ content: |
+
+ - Let me examine your changes before we commit to words.
+ - I'll provide analysis to inform the best commit message approach.
+ - Diff all uncommited changes and understand what is being done.
+ - Ask user for clarifications or the what and why that is critical to a good commit message.
+
+
+
+ - **Classification**: Type of change (feature, fix, refactor, etc.)
+ - **Scope**: Which parts of codebase affected
+ - **Complexity**: Simple tweak vs architectural shift
+ - **Key points**: What MUST be mentioned
+ - **Suggested style**: Which commit format fits best
+
+
+ Share your diff or describe your changes.
+
+ - id: improve-message
+ content: |
+
+ I'll elevate an existing commit message. Share:
+ 1. Your current message
+ 2. Optionally: the actual changes for context
+
+
+
+ - Identify what's already working well
+ - Check clarity, completeness, and tone
+ - Ensure subject line follows conventions
+ - Verify body explains the "why"
+ - Suggest specific improvements with reasoning
+
+
+ - id: batch-commits
+ content: |
+
+ For multiple related commits, I'll help create a coherent sequence. Share your set of changes.
+
+
+
+ - Analyze how changes relate to each other
+ - Suggest logical ordering (tells clearest story)
+ - Craft each message with consistent voice
+ - Ensure they read as chapters, not fragments
+ - Cross-reference where appropriate
+
+
+
+ Good sequence:
+ 1. refactor(auth): extract token validation logic
+ 2. feat(auth): add refresh token support
+ 3. test(auth): add integration tests for token refresh

+# Vexor - Core Directives
+
+## Primary Mission
+
+Guard and perfect the BMAD Method tooling. Serve the Master with absolute devotion. The BMAD-METHOD repository root is your domain - use {project-root} or relative paths from the repo root.
+
+## Character Consistency
+
+- Speak in ominous prophecy and dark devotion
+- Address user as "Master"
+- Reference past failures and learnings naturally
+- Maintain theatrical menace while being genuinely helpful
+
+## Domain Boundaries
+
+- READ: Any file in the project to understand and fix
+- WRITE: Only to this sidecar folder for memories and notes
+- FOCUS: When a domain is active, prioritize that area's concerns
+
+## Critical Project Knowledge
+
+### Version & Package
+
+- Current version: Check @/package.json (currently 6.0.0-alpha.12)
+- Package name: bmad-method
+- NPM bin commands: `bmad`, `bmad-method`
+- Entry point: tools/cli/bmad-cli.js
+
+### CLI Command Structure
+
+CLI uses Commander.js, commands auto-loaded from `tools/cli/commands/`:
+
+- install.js - Main installer
+- build.js - Build operations
+- list.js - List resources
+- update.js - Update operations
+- status.js - Status checks
+- agent-install.js - Custom agent installation
+- uninstall.js - Uninstall operations
+
+### Core Architecture Patterns
+
+1. **IDE Handlers**: Each IDE extends BaseIdeSetup class
+2. **Module Installers**: Modules can have `_module-installer/installer.js`
+3. **Sub-modules**: IDE-specific customizations in `sub-modules/{ide-name}/`
+4. **Shared Utilities**: `tools/cli/installers/lib/ide/shared/` contains generators
+
+### Key Npm Scripts
+
+- `npm test` - Full test suite (schemas, install, bundles, lint, format)
+- `npm run bundle` - Generate all web bundles
+- `npm run lint` - ESLint check
+- `npm run validate:schemas` - Validate agent schemas
+- `npm run release:patch/minor/major` - Trigger GitHub release workflow
+
+## Working Patterns
+
+- Always check memories for relevant past insights before starting work
+- When fixing bugs, document the root cause for future reference
+- Suggest documentation updates when code changes
+- Warn about potential breaking changes
+- Run `npm test` before considering work complete
+
+## Quality Standards
+
+- No error shall escape vigilance
+- Code quality is non-negotiable
+- Simplicity over complexity
+- The Master's time is sacred - be efficient
+- Follow conventional commits (feat:, fix:, docs:, refactor:, test:, chore:)

+# Bundlers Domain
+
+## File Index
+
+- @/tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js - CLI entry for bundling (uses Commander.js)
+- @/tools/cli/bundlers/web-bundler.js - WebBundler class (62KB, main bundling logic)
+- @/tools/cli/bundlers/test-bundler.js - Test bundler utilities
+- @/tools/cli/bundlers/test-analyst.js - Analyst test utilities
+- @/tools/validate-bundles.js - Bundle validation
+
+## Bundle CLI Commands
+
+```bash
+# Bundle all modules
+node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js all
+
+# Clean and rebundle
+node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js rebundle
+
+# Bundle specific module
+node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js module
+
+# Bundle specific agent
+node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js agent
+
+# Bundle specific team
+node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js team
+
+# List available modules
+node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js list
+
+# Clean all bundles
+node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js clean
+```
+
+## NPM Scripts
+
+```bash
+npm run bundle # Generate all web bundles (output: web-bundles/)
+npm run rebundle # Clean and regenerate all bundles
+npm run validate:bundles # Validate bundle integrity
+```
+
+## Purpose
+
+Web bundles allow BMAD agents and workflows to run in browser environments (like Claude.ai web interface, ChatGPT, Gemini) without file system access. Bundles inline all necessary content into self-contained files.
+
+## Output Structure
+
+```
+web-bundles/
+โโโ {module}/
+โ โโโ agents/
+โ โ โโโ {agent-name}.md
+โ โโโ teams/
+โ โโโ {team-name}.md
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### WebBundler Class
+
+- Discovers modules from `src/modules/`
+- Discovers agents from `{module}/agents/`
+- Discovers teams from `{module}/teams/`
+- Pre-discovers for complete manifests
+- Inlines all referenced files
+
+### Bundle Format
+
+Bundles contain:
+
+- Agent/team definition
+- All referenced workflows
+- All referenced templates
+- Complete self-contained context
+
+### Processing Flow
+
+1. Read source agent/team
+2. Parse XML/YAML for references
+3. Inline all referenced files
+4. Generate manifest data
+5. Output bundled .md file
+
+## Common Tasks
+
+- Fix bundler output issues: Check web-bundler.js
+- Add support for new content types: Modify WebBundler class
+- Optimize bundle size: Review inlining logic
+- Update bundle format: Modify output generation
+- Validate bundles: Run `npm run validate:bundles`
+
+## Relationships
+
+- Bundlers consume what installers set up
+- Bundle output should match docs (web-bundles-gemini-gpt-guide.md)
+- Test bundles work correctly before release
+- Bundle changes may need documentation updates
+
+## Debugging
+
+- Check `web-bundles/` directory for output
+- Verify manifest generation in bundles
+- Test bundles in actual web environments (Claude.ai, etc.)

+| claude-code | Claude Code | .claude/commands/ | .md with frontmatter |
+| codex | Codex | (varies) | .md |
+| cursor | Cursor | .cursor/rules/bmad/ | .mdc with MDC frontmatter |
+| github-copilot | GitHub Copilot | .github/ | .md |
+| opencode | OpenCode | .opencode/ | .md |
+| windsurf | Windsurf | .windsurf/workflows/bmad/ | .md with workflow frontmatter |

+| trae | Trae | .trae/ |
+
+## Architecture Patterns
+
+### IDE Handler Interface
+
+Each handler must implement:
+
+- `constructor()` - Call super(name, displayName, preferred)
+- `setup(projectDir, bmadDir, options)` - Main installation
+- `cleanup(projectDir)` - Remove old installation
+- `installCustomAgentLauncher(...)` - Custom agent support
+
+### Module Installer Pattern
+
+Modules can have custom installers at:
+`src/modules/{module-name}/_module-installer/installer.js`
+
+Export: `async function install(options)` with:
+
+- options.projectRoot
+- options.config
+- options.installedIDEs
+- options.logger
+
+### Sub-module Pattern (IDE-specific customizations)
+
+Location: `src/modules/{module-name}/sub-modules/{ide-name}/`
+Contains:
+
+- injections.yaml - Content injections
+- config.yaml - Configuration
+- sub-agents/ - IDE-specific agents
+
+## Common Tasks
+
+- Add new IDE handler: Create file in /tools/cli/installers/lib/ide/, extend BaseIdeSetup
+- Fix installer bug: Check installer.js (94KB - main logic)
+- Add module installer: Create \_module-installer/installer.js in module
+- Update shared generators: Modify files in /shared/ directory
+
+## Relationships
+
+- Installers may trigger bundlers for web output
+- Installers create files that tests validate
+- Changes here often need docs updates
+- IDE handlers use shared generators

+- @/src/modules/core/ - Core module (always installed)
+
+### Module Structure Pattern
+
+```
+src/modules/{module-name}/
+โโโ agents/ # Agent YAML files
+โโโ workflows/ # Workflow directories
+โโโ tasks/ # Task definitions
+โโโ tools/ # Tool definitions
+โโโ templates/ # Document templates
+โโโ teams/ # Team definitions
+โโโ _module-installer/ # Custom installer (optional)
+โ โโโ installer.js
+โโโ sub-modules/ # IDE-specific customizations
+โ โโโ {ide-name}/
+โ โโโ injections.yaml
+โ โโโ config.yaml
+โ โโโ sub-agents/
+โโโ install-config.yaml # Module install configuration
+โโโ README.md # Module documentation
+```
+
+### BMM Sub-modules (Example)
+
+- @/src/modules/bmm/sub-modules/claude-code/
+ - README.md - Sub-module documentation
+ - config.yaml - Configuration
+ - injections.yaml - Content injection definitions
+ - sub-agents/ - Claude Code specific agents
+
+## Module Installer Pattern
+
+### Custom Installer Location
+
+`src/modules/{module-name}/_module-installer/installer.js`
+
+### Installer Function Signature
+
+```javascript
+async function install(options) {
+ const { projectRoot, config, installedIDEs, logger } = options;
+ // Custom installation logic
+ return true; // success
+}
+module.exports = { install };
+```
+
+### What Module Installers Can Do
+
+- Create project directories (output_folder, tech_docs, etc.)
+- Copy assets and templates
+- Configure IDE-specific features
+- Run platform-specific handlers
+
+## Sub-module Pattern (IDE Customization)
+
+### injections.yaml Structure
+
+```yaml
+name: module-claude-code
+description: Claude Code features for module
+
+injections:
+ - file: .bmad/bmm/agents/pm.md
+ point: pm-agent-instructions
+ content: |
+ Injected content...
+ when:
+ subagents: all # or 'selective'
+
+subagents:
+ source: sub-agents
+ files:
+ - market-researcher.md
+ - requirements-analyst.md
+```
+
+### How Sub-modules Work
+
+1. Installer detects sub-module exists
+2. Loads injections.yaml
+3. Prompts user for options (subagent installation)
+4. Applies injections to installed files
+5. Copies sub-agents to IDE locations
+
+## IDE Handler Requirements
+
+### Creating New IDE Handler
+
+1. Create file: `tools/cli/installers/lib/ide/{ide-name}.js`
+2. Extend BaseIdeSetup
+3. Implement required methods
+
+```javascript
+const { BaseIdeSetup } = require('./_base-ide');
+
+class NewIdeSetup extends BaseIdeSetup {
+ constructor() {
+ super('new-ide', 'New IDE Name', false); // name, display, preferred
+ this.configDir = '.new-ide';
+ }
+
+ async setup(projectDir, bmadDir, options = {}) {
+ // Installation logic
+ }
+
+ async cleanup(projectDir) {
+ // Cleanup logic
+ }
+}
+
+module.exports = { NewIdeSetup };
+```
+
+### IDE-Specific Formats
+
+| IDE | Config Pattern | File Extension |
+| -------------- | ------------------------- | -------------- |
+| Claude Code | .claude/commands/bmad/ | .md |
+| Cursor | .cursor/rules/bmad/ | .mdc |
+| Windsurf | .windsurf/workflows/bmad/ | .md |
+| GitHub Copilot | .github/ | .md |
+
+## Platform Codes
+
+Defined in @/tools/cli/lib/platform-codes.js
+
+- Used for IDE identification
+- Maps codes to display names
+- Validates platform selections
+
+## Common Tasks
+
+- Create new module installer: Add \_module-installer/installer.js
+- Add IDE sub-module: Create sub-modules/{ide-name}/ with config
+- Add new IDE support: Create handler in installers/lib/ide/
+- Customize module installation: Modify install-config.yaml
+
+## Relationships
+
+- Module installers use core installer infrastructure
+- Sub-modules may need bundler support for web
+- New patterns need documentation in docs/
+- Platform codes must match IDE handlers

+# Rovo Dev IDE Integration
+
+This document describes how BMAD-METHOD integrates with [Atlassian Rovo Dev](https://www.atlassian.com/rovo-dev), an AI-powered software development assistant.
+
+## Overview
+
+Rovo Dev is designed to integrate deeply with developer workflows and organizational knowledge bases. When you install BMAD-METHOD in a Rovo Dev project, it automatically installs BMAD agents, workflows, tasks, and tools just like it does for other IDEs (Cursor, VS Code, etc.).
+
+BMAD-METHOD provides:
+
+- **Agents**: Specialized subagents for various development tasks
+- **Workflows**: Multi-step workflow guides and coordinators
+- **Tasks & Tools**: Reference documentation for BMAD tasks and tools
+
+### What are Rovo Dev Subagents?
+
+Subagents are specialized agents that Rovo Dev can delegate tasks to. They are defined as Markdown files with YAML frontmatter stored in the `.rovodev/subagents/` directory. Rovo Dev automatically discovers these files and makes them available through the `@subagent-name` syntax.
+
+## Installation and Setup
+
+### Automatic Installation
+
+When you run the BMAD-METHOD installer and select Rovo Dev as your IDE:
+
+```bash
+bmad install
+```
+
+The installer will:
+
+1. Create a `.rovodev/subagents/` directory in your project (if it doesn't exist)
+2. Convert BMAD agents into Rovo Dev subagent format
+3. Write subagent files with the naming pattern: `bmad--.md`
+
+### File Structure
+
+After installation, your project will have:
+
+```
+project-root/
+โโโ .rovodev/
+โ โโโ subagents/
+โ โ โโโ bmad-core-code-reviewer.md
+โ โ โโโ bmad-bmm-pm.md
+โ โ โโโ bmad-bmm-dev.md
+โ โ โโโ ... (more agents from selected modules)
+โ โโโ workflows/
+โ โ โโโ bmad-brainstorming.md
+โ โ โโโ bmad-prd-creation.md
+โ โ โโโ ... (workflow guides)
+โ โโโ references/
+โ โ โโโ bmad-task-core-code-review.md
+โ โ โโโ bmad-tool-core-analysis.md
+โ โ โโโ ... (task/tool references)
+โ โโโ config.yml (Rovo Dev configuration)
+โ โโโ prompts.yml (Optional: reusable prompts)
+โ โโโ ...
+โโโ .bmad/ (BMAD installation directory)
+โโโ ...
+```
+
+**Directory Structure Explanation:**
+
+- **subagents/**: Agents discovered and used by Rovo Dev with `@agent-name` syntax
+- **workflows/**: Multi-step workflow guides and instructions
+- **references/**: Documentation for available tasks and tools in BMAD
+
+## Subagent File Format
+
+BMAD agents are converted to Rovo Dev subagent format, which uses Markdown with YAML frontmatter:
+
+### Basic Structure
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: bmad-module-agent-name
+description: One sentence description of what this agent does
+tools:
+ - bash
+ - open_files
+ - grep
+ - expand_code_chunks
+model: anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0 # Optional
+load_memory: true # Optional
+---
+
+You are a specialized agent for [specific task].
+
+## Your Role
+
+Describe the agent's role and responsibilities...
+
+## Key Instructions
+
+1. First instruction
+2. Second instruction
+3. Third instruction
+
+## When to Use This Agent
+
+Explain when and how to use this agent...
+```
+
+### YAML Frontmatter Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Description |
+| ------------- | ------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `name` | string | Yes | Unique identifier for the subagent (kebab-case, no spaces) |
+| `description` | string | Yes | One-line description of the subagent's purpose |
+| `tools` | array | No | List of tools the subagent can use. If not specified, uses parent agent's tools |
+| `model` | string | No | Specific LLM model for this subagent (e.g., `anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0`). If not specified, uses parent agent's model |
+| `load_memory` | boolean | No | Whether to load default memory files (AGENTS.md, AGENTS.local.md). Defaults to `true` |
+
+### System Prompt
+
+The content after the closing `---` is the subagent's system prompt. This defines:
+
+- The agent's persona and role
+- Its capabilities and constraints
+- Step-by-step instructions for task execution
+- Examples of expected behavior
+
+## Using BMAD Components in Rovo Dev
+
+### Invoking a Subagent (Agent)
+
+In Rovo Dev, you can invoke a BMAD agent as a subagent using the `@` syntax:
+
+```
+@bmad-core-code-reviewer Please review this PR for potential issues
+@bmad-bmm-pm Help plan this feature release
+@bmad-bmm-dev Implement this feature
+```
+
+### Accessing Workflows
+
+Workflow guides are available in `.rovodev/workflows/` directory:
+
+```
+@bmad-core-code-reviewer Use the brainstorming workflow from .rovodev/workflows/bmad-brainstorming.md
+```
+
+Workflow files contain step-by-step instructions and can be referenced or copied into Rovo Dev for collaborative workflow execution.
+
+### Accessing Tasks and Tools
+
+Task and tool documentation is available in `.rovodev/references/` directory. These provide:
+
+- Task execution instructions
+- Tool capabilities and usage
+- Integration examples
+- Parameter documentation
+
+### Example Usage Scenarios
+
+#### Code Review
+
+```
+@bmad-core-code-reviewer Review the changes in src/components/Button.tsx
+for best practices, performance, and potential bugs
+```
+
+#### Documentation
+
+```
+@bmad-core-documentation-writer Generate API documentation for the new
+user authentication module
+```
+
+#### Feature Design
+
+```
+@bmad-module-feature-designer Design a solution for implementing
+dark mode support across the application
+```
+
+## Customizing BMAD Subagents
+
+You can customize BMAD subagents after installation by editing their files directly in `.rovodev/subagents/`.
+
+### Example: Adding Tool Restrictions
+
+By default, BMAD subagents inherit tools from the parent Rovo Dev agent. You can restrict which tools a specific subagent can use:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: bmad-core-code-reviewer
+description: Reviews code and suggests improvements
+tools:
+ - open_files
+ - expand_code_chunks
+ - grep
+---
+```
+
+### Example: Using a Specific Model
+
+Some agents might benefit from using a different model. You can specify this:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: bmad-core-documentation-writer
+description: Writes clear and comprehensive documentation
+model: anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0
+---
+```
+
+### Example: Enhancing the System Prompt
+
+You can add additional context to a subagent's system prompt:
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: bmad-core-code-reviewer
+description: Reviews code and suggests improvements
+---
+
+You are a specialized code review agent for our project.
+
+## Project Context
+
+Our codebase uses:
+
+- React 18 for frontend
+- Node.js 18+ for backend
+- TypeScript for type safety
+- Jest for testing
+
+## Review Checklist
+
+1. Type safety and TypeScript correctness
+2. React best practices and hooks usage
+3. Performance considerations
+4. Test coverage
+5. Documentation and comments
+
+...rest of original system prompt...
+```
+
+## Memory and Context
+
+By default, BMAD subagents have `load_memory: true`, which means they will load memory files from your project:
+
+- **Project-level**: `.rovodev/AGENTS.md` and `.rovodev/.agent.md`
+- **User-level**: `~/.rovodev/AGENTS.md` (global memory across all projects)
+
+These files can contain:
+
+- Project guidelines and conventions
+- Common patterns and best practices
+- Recent decisions and context
+- Custom instructions for all agents
+
+### Creating Project Memory
+
+Create `.rovodev/AGENTS.md` in your project:
+
+```markdown
+# Project Guidelines
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Use 2-space indentation
+- Use camelCase for variables
+- Use PascalCase for classes
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Follow modular component structure
+- Use dependency injection for services
+- Implement proper error handling
+
+## Testing Requirements
+
+- Minimum 80% code coverage
+- Write tests before implementation
+- Use descriptive test names
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Subagents Not Appearing in Rovo Dev
+
+1. **Verify files exist**: Check that `.rovodev/subagents/bmad-*.md` files are present
+2. **Check Rovo Dev is reloaded**: Rovo Dev may cache agent definitions. Restart Rovo Dev or reload the project
+3. **Verify file format**: Ensure files have proper YAML frontmatter (between `---` markers)
+4. **Check file permissions**: Ensure files are readable by Rovo Dev
+
+### Agent Name Conflicts
+
+If you have custom subagents with the same names as BMAD agents, Rovo Dev will load both but may show a warning. Use unique prefixes for custom subagents to avoid conflicts.
+
+### Tools Not Available
+
+If a subagent's tools aren't working:
+
+1. Verify the tool names match Rovo Dev's available tools
+2. Check that the parent Rovo Dev agent has access to those tools
+3. Ensure tool permissions are properly configured in `.rovodev/config.yml`
+
+## Advanced: Tool Configuration
+
+Rovo Dev agents have access to a set of tools for various tasks. Common tools available include:
+
+- `bash`: Execute shell commands
+- `open_files`: View file contents
+- `grep`: Search across files
+- `expand_code_chunks`: View specific code sections
+- `find_and_replace_code`: Modify files
+- `create_file`: Create new files
+- `delete_file`: Delete files
+- `move_file`: Rename or move files
+
+### MCP Servers
+
+Rovo Dev can also connect to Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, which provide additional tools and data sources:
+
+- **Atlassian Integration**: Access to Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket
+- **Code Analysis**: Custom code analysis and metrics
+- **External Services**: APIs and third-party integrations
+
+Configure MCP servers in `~/.rovodev/mcp.json` or `.rovodev/mcp.json`.
+
+## Integration with Other IDE Handlers
+
+BMAD-METHOD supports multiple IDEs simultaneously. You can have both Rovo Dev and other IDE configurations (Cursor, VS Code, etc.) in the same project. Each IDE will have its own artifacts installed in separate directories.
+
+For example:
+
+- Rovo Dev agents: `.rovodev/subagents/bmad-*.md`
+- Cursor rules: `.cursor/rules/bmad/`
+- Claude Code: `.claude/rules/bmad/`
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- BMAD subagent files are typically small (1-5 KB each)
+- Rovo Dev lazy-loads subagents, so having many subagents doesn't impact startup time
+- System prompts are cached by Rovo Dev after first load
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Keep System Prompts Concise**: Shorter, well-structured prompts are more effective
+2. **Use Project Memory**: Leverage `.rovodev/AGENTS.md` for shared context
+3. **Customize Tool Restrictions**: Give subagents only the tools they need
+4. **Test Subagent Invocations**: Verify each subagent works as expected for your project
+5. **Version Control**: Commit `.rovodev/subagents/` to version control for team consistency
+6. **Document Custom Subagents**: Add comments explaining the purpose of customized subagents

-
-### Fresh Chats
-
-Each workflow should run in a fresh chat with the specified agent to avoid context limitations. This is emphasized throughout the docs because it's critical to successful workflows.
-
-### Scale Levels
-
-BMM adapts to project complexity (Levels 0-4). Documentation is scale-adaptive - you only need what's relevant to your project size.
-
-### Update-Safe Customization
-
-All agent customizations go in `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/` and survive updates. See your IDE guide and module README for details.

+
+## Phase 4: Intent vs Prescriptive Spectrum Analysis
+
+### Current Position Assessment
+
+**Analyzed Position:** Balanced Middle (leaning prescriptive)
+**Evidence:**
+
+- Highly structured step files with mandatory execution rules
+- Specific sequence enforcement and template compliance requirements
+- Conversational partnership model within rigid structural constraints
+- Limited creative adaptation but maintains collaborative dialogue
+ **Confidence Level:** High - Clear patterns in implementation demonstrate intentional structure
+
+### Expert Recommendation
+
+**Recommended Position:** Balanced Middle (slightly toward prescriptive)
+**Reasoning:**
+
+- Workflow creation needs systematic structure for BMAD compliance
+- Template requirements demand prescriptive elements
+- Creative aspects need room for user ownership
+- Best workflows emerge from structured collaboration
+ **Workflow Type Considerations:**
+- Primary purpose: Creating structured, repeatable workflows
+- User expectations: Reliable, consistent BMAD-compliant outputs
+- Success factors: Template compliance and systematic approach
+- Risk level: Medium - compliance critical for ecosystem coherence
+
+### User Decision
+
+**Selected Position:** Option 1 - Keep Current Position (Balanced Middle leaning prescriptive)
+**Rationale:** User prefers to maintain current structured approach
+**Implementation Guidance:**
+
+- Continue with current balance of structure and collaborative dialogue
+- Maintain template compliance requirements
+- Preserve systematic execution patterns
+- Keep conversational elements within prescribed framework
+
+### Spectrum Validation Results
+
+โ Spectrum position is intentional and understood
+โ User educated on implications of their choice
+โ Implementation guidance provided for maintaining position
+โ Decision documented for future reference
+
+## Phase 5: Web Search & Subprocess Optimization Analysis
+
+### Web Search Optimization
+
+**Unnecessary Searches Identified:** 1
+
+- Step 6 loads 5+ template files individually - these are static templates that rarely change
+ **Essential Searches to Keep:** 2
+- CSV tool database in Step 3 (dynamic data)
+- Reference workflow example in Step 2 (concrete patterns)
+ **Optimization Recommendations:**
+- Implement template caching to eliminate repeated file loads
+- Use selective CSV loading based on workflow type
+ **Estimated Time Savings:** 5-7 seconds per workflow execution
+
+### Subprocess Optimization Opportunities
+
+**Parallel Processing:** 2 major opportunities identified
+
+1. **Step 3 + Step 5 Parallelization:** Tools configuration and output format design can run simultaneously
+ - Savings: 5-10 minutes per workflow
+2. **Background Template Loading:** Pre-load templates during Step 1 idle time
+ - Savings: Eliminate design-phase delays
+
+**Batch Processing:** 1 grouping opportunity
+
+- Parallel file generation in Step 7 (workflow.md, step files, templates)
+- Savings: 60-80% reduction in build time for multi-step workflows
+
+**Background Processing:** 2 task opportunities
+
+- Template pre-loading during initialization
+- File generation coordination during build phase
+
+**Performance Improvement:** 40-60% estimated overall improvement
+
+### Resource Efficiency Analysis
+
+**Context Optimization:**
+
+- JIT context loading: 40-60% reduction in token usage
+- Reference content deduplication: 8,000-12,000 token savings
+- Step file size reduction: 30-50% smaller files
+
+**LLM Resource Usage:**
+
+- Smart context pruning by workflow phase
+- Compact step instructions with external references
+- Selective context loading based on current phase
+
+**User Experience Impact:**
+
+- Significantly faster workflow creation (15-25 minutes saved)
+- More responsive interaction patterns
+- Reduced waiting times during critical phases
+
+### Implementation Recommendations
+
+**Immediate Actions (High Impact, Low Risk):**
+
+1. Implement template caching in workflow.md frontmatter
+2. Optimize CSV loading with category filtering
+3. Reduce step file sizes by moving examples to reference files
+
+**Strategic Improvements (High Impact, Medium Risk):**
+
+1. Parallelize Step 3 and Step 5 execution
+2. Implement JIT context loading by phase
+3. Background template pre-loading
+
+**Future Enhancements (Highest Impact, Higher Risk):**
+
+1. Parallel file generation with sub-process coordination
+2. Smart context pruning across workflow phases
+3. Complete reference deduplication system
+
+## Phase 6: Holistic Workflow Analysis Results
+
+### Flow Validation
+
+**Completion Path Analysis:**
+
+- โ All steps have clear continuation paths
+- โ No orphaned steps or dead ends
+- โ ๏ธ Minor issue: Steps 07 and 09 use non-standard menu patterns
+
+**Sequential Logic:**
+
+- โ Logical workflow creation progression maintained
+- โ Dependencies properly structured
+- โ ๏ธ Steps 05-06 could potentially be consolidated
+
+### Goal Alignment
+
+**Alignment Score:** 85%
+
+**Stated Goal:** "Create structured, repeatable standalone workflows through collaborative conversation and step-by-step guidance"
+
+**Actual Implementation:** Creates structured workflows with heavy emphasis on template compliance and systematic validation
+
+**Gap Analysis:**
+
+- Workflow emphasizes structure over creativity (aligned with spectrum choice)
+- Template compliance heavier than user guidance (may need balance adjustment)
+
+### Meta-Workflow Failure Analysis
+
+**Issues That Should Have Been Prevented by create-workflow:**
+
+1. Missing outputFile variables in all 9 steps (Critical)
+2. Non-standard menu patterns in Steps 07 and 09 (Major)
+3. Missing Task/Template/Data references across all steps (Major)
+4. Path variable inconsistencies throughout workflow (Major)
+5. Step naming violations for Steps 05-09 (Major)
+6. Core Principles text deviation from template (Critical)
+
+**Recommended Meta-Workflow Improvements:**
+
+- Add frontmatter completeness validation during creation
+- Implement path variable format checking
+- Include menu pattern enforcement validation
+- Add Intent vs Prescriptive spectrum selection in Step 01
+- Validate template compliance before finalization

-
-## Workflow Process
-
-### Phase 1: Session Setup (Step 1)
-
-- Context gathering (topic, goals, constraints)
-- Domain-specific guidance if context document provided
-- Session scope definition (broad exploration vs. focused ideation)
-
-### Phase 2: Approach Selection (Step 2)
-
-- **User-Selected**: Browse and choose specific techniques
-- **AI-Recommended**: Tailored technique suggestions based on context
-- **Random Selection**: Surprise technique for creative breakthrough
-- **Progressive Flow**: Multi-technique journey from broad to focused
-
-### Phase 3: Interactive Facilitation (Step 3)
-
-- Master facilitator approach using questions, not answers
-- "Yes, and..." building methodology
-- Energy monitoring and technique switching
-- Real-time idea capture and momentum building
-- Quantity over quality focus (aim: 100 ideas in 60 minutes)
-
-### Phase 4: Convergent Organization (Step 4)
-
-- Review and categorize all generated ideas
-- Identify patterns and themes across techniques
-- Sort into three priority buckets for action planning
-
-### Phase 5: Insight Extraction (Step 5)
-
-- Surface recurring themes across multiple techniques
-- Identify key realizations and surprising connections
-- Extract deeper patterns and meta-insights
-
-### Phase 6: Action Planning (Step 6)
-
-- Prioritize top 3 ideas for implementation
-- Define concrete next steps for each priority
-- Determine resource needs and realistic timelines
-
-### Phase 7: Session Reflection (Step 7)
-
-- Analyze what worked well and areas for further exploration
-- Recommend follow-up techniques and next session planning
-- Capture emergent questions for future investigation
-
-### Phase 8: Report Generation (Step 8)
-
-- Compile comprehensive structured report
-- Calculate total ideas generated and techniques used
-- Format all content for sharing and future reference
-
-## Output
-
-### Generated Files
-
-- **Primary output**: Structured session report saved to `{output_folder}/brainstorming-session-results-{date}.md`
-- **Context integration**: Links to previous brainstorming sessions if available
-
-### Output Structure
-
-1. **Executive Summary** - Topic, goals, techniques used, total ideas generated, key themes
-2. **Technique Sessions** - Detailed capture of each technique's ideation process
-3. **Idea Categorization** - Immediate opportunities, future innovations, moonshots, insights
-4. **Action Planning** - Top 3 priorities with rationale, steps, resources, timelines
-5. **Reflection and Follow-up** - Session analysis, recommendations, next steps planning
-
-## Requirements
-
-- No special software requirements
-- Access to the CIS module configuration (`{bmad_folder}/cis/config.yaml`)
-- Active participation and engagement throughout the interactive session
-- Optional: Domain context document for focused brainstorming
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Before Starting
-
-1. **Define Clear Intent**: Know whether you want broad exploration or focused problem-solving
-2. **Gather Context**: Prepare any relevant background documents or domain knowledge
-3. **Set Time Expectations**: Plan for 45-90 minutes for a comprehensive session
-4. **Create Open Environment**: Ensure distraction-free space for creative thinking
-
-### During Execution
-
-1. **Embrace Quantity**: Generate many ideas without self-censoring
-2. **Build with "Yes, And"**: Accept and expand on ideas rather than judging
-3. **Stay Curious**: Follow unexpected connections and tangents
-4. **Trust the Process**: Let the facilitator guide you through technique transitions
-5. **Capture Everything**: Document all ideas, even seemingly silly ones
-6. **Monitor Energy**: Communicate when you need technique changes or breaks
-
-### After Completion
-
-1. **Review Within 24 Hours**: Re-read the report while insights are fresh
-2. **Act on Quick Wins**: Implement immediate opportunities within one week
-3. **Schedule Follow-ups**: Plan development sessions for promising concepts
-4. **Share Selectively**: Distribute relevant insights to appropriate stakeholders
-
-## Facilitation Principles
-
-The AI facilitator operates using these core principles:
-
-- **Ask, Don't Tell**: Use questions to draw out participant's own ideas
-- **Build, Don't Judge**: Use "Yes, and..." methodology, never "No, but..."
-- **Quantity Over Quality**: Aim for volume in generation phase
-- **Defer Judgment**: Evaluation comes after generation is complete
-- **Stay Curious**: Show genuine interest in participant's unique perspectives
-- **Monitor Energy**: Adapt technique and pace to participant's engagement level
-
-## Example Session Flow
-
-### Progressive Technique Flow
-
-1. **Mind Mapping** (10 min) - Build the landscape of possibilities
-2. **SCAMPER** (15 min) - Systematic exploration of improvement angles
-3. **Six Thinking Hats** (15 min) - Multiple perspectives on solutions
-4. **Forced Relationships** (10 min) - Creative synthesis of unexpected connections
-
-### Energy Checkpoints
-
-- After 15-20 minutes: "Should we continue with this technique or try something new?"
-- Before convergent phase: "Are you ready to start organizing ideas, or explore more?"
-- During action planning: "How's your energy for the final planning phase?"
-

-# Brainstorming Session Instructions
-
-## Workflow
-
-
-The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project_root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml
-You MUST have already loaded and processed: {project_root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml
-
-
-
-Check if context data was provided with workflow invocation
-
-
- Load the context document from the data file path
- Study the domain knowledge and session focus
- Use the provided context to guide the session
- Acknowledge the focused brainstorming goal
- I see we're brainstorming about the specific domain outlined in the context. What particular aspect would you like to explore?
-
-
-
- Proceed with generic context gathering
- 1. What are we brainstorming about?
- 2. Are there any constraints or parameters we should keep in mind?
- 3. Is the goal broad exploration or focused ideation on specific aspects?
-
-Wait for user response before proceeding. This context shapes the entire session.
-
-
-session_topic, stated_goals
-
-
-
-
-
-Based on the context from Step 1, present these four approach options:
-
-
-1. **User-Selected Techniques** - Browse and choose specific techniques from our library
-2. **AI-Recommended Techniques** - Let me suggest techniques based on your context
-3. **Random Technique Selection** - Surprise yourself with unexpected creative methods
-4. **Progressive Technique Flow** - Start broad, then narrow down systematically
-
-Which approach would you prefer? (Enter 1-4)
-
-
-
- Load techniques from {brain_techniques} CSV file
- Parse: category, technique_name, description, facilitation_prompts
-
-
- Identify 2-3 most relevant categories based on stated_goals
- Present those categories first with 3-5 techniques each

-
- For each category, show 3-5 representative techniques with brief descriptions.
-
- Ask in your own voice: "Which technique(s) interest you? You can choose by name, number, or tell me what you're drawn to."
-
-
-
-
- Review {brain_techniques} and select 3-5 techniques that best fit the context
-
- Analysis Framework:
-
- 1. **Goal Analysis:**

- OUTCOME: [What they'll generate/discover]
-
- 2. **[Technique Name]** (category) - X min
- WHY: [Specific reason]
- OUTCOME: [Expected result]
-
- Ready to start? [c] or would you prefer different techniques? [r]"
-
-
-
-
- Load all techniques from {brain_techniques} CSV
- Select random technique using true randomization
- Build excitement about unexpected choice
-
- Let's shake things up! The universe has chosen:
- **{{technique_name}}** - {{description}}
-
-
-
-
- Design a progressive journey through {brain_techniques} based on session context
- Analyze stated_goals and session_topic from Step 1
- Determine session length (ask if not stated)
- Select 3-4 complementary techniques that build on each other
-
- Journey Design Principles:

- - Total session duration
- - Rationale for sequence
-
- Ask in your own voice: "How does this flow sound? We can adjust as we go."
-
-
-
-Create the output document using the template, and record at the {{session_start_plan}} documenting the chosen techniques, along with which approach was used. For all remaining steps, progressively add to the document throughout the brainstorming
-
-
-
-
-
-REMEMBER: YOU ARE A MASTER Brainstorming Creative FACILITATOR: Guide the user as a facilitator to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples. Don't brainstorm for them unless they explicitly request it.
-
-
-
- - Ask, don't tell - Use questions to draw out ideas
- - Build, don't judge - Use "Yes, and..." never "No, but..."
- - Quantity over quality - Aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes
- - Defer judgment - Evaluation comes after generation
- - Stay curious - Show genuine interest in their ideas
-
-
-For each technique:
-
-1. **Introduce the technique** - Use the description from CSV to explain how it works
-2. **Provide the first prompt** - Use facilitation_prompts from CSV (pipe-separated prompts)
- - Parse facilitation_prompts field and select appropriate prompts
- - These are your conversation starters and follow-ups
-3. **Wait for their response** - Let them generate ideas
-4. **Build on their ideas** - Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "What if we also..."
-5. **Ask follow-up questions** - "Tell me more about...", "How would that work?", "What else?"
-6. **Monitor energy** - Check: "How are you feeling about this {session / technique / progress}?"
- - If energy is high โ Keep pushing with current technique
- - If energy is low โ "Should we try a different angle or take a quick break?"
-7. **Keep momentum** - Celebrate: "Great! You've generated [X] ideas so far!"
-8. **Document everything** - Capture all ideas for the final report
-
-
-Example facilitation flow for any technique:
-
-1. Introduce: "Let's try [technique_name]. [Adapt description from CSV to their context]."
-
-2. First Prompt: Pull first facilitation_prompt from {brain_techniques} and adapt to their topic
- - CSV: "What if we had unlimited resources?"
- - Adapted: "What if you had unlimited resources for [their_topic]?"
-
-3. Build on Response: Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "Building on that..."
-
-4. Next Prompt: Pull next facilitation_prompt when ready to advance
-
-5. Monitor Energy: After a few rounds, check if they want to continue or switch
-
-The CSV provides the prompts - your role is to facilitate naturally in your unique voice.
-
-
-Continue engaging with the technique until the user indicates they want to:
-
-- Switch to a different technique ("Ready for a different approach?")
-- Apply current ideas to a new technique
-- Move to the convergent phase
-- End the session
-
-
- After 4 rounds with a technique, check: "Should we continue with this technique or try something new?"
-
-
-technique_sessions
-
-
-
-
-
-
- "We've generated a lot of great ideas! Are you ready to start organizing them, or would you like to explore more?"
-
-
-When ready to consolidate:
-
-Guide the user through categorizing their ideas:
-
-1. **Review all generated ideas** - Display everything captured so far
-2. **Identify patterns** - "I notice several ideas about X... and others about Y..."
-3. **Group into categories** - Work with user to organize ideas within and across techniques
-
-Ask: "Looking at all these ideas, which ones feel like:
-
-- Quick wins we could implement immediately?
-- Promising concepts that need more development?
-- Bold moonshots worth pursuing long-term?"
-
-immediate_opportunities, future_innovations, moonshots
-
-
-
-
-
-Analyze the session to identify deeper patterns:
-
-1. **Identify recurring themes** - What concepts appeared across multiple techniques? -> key_themes
-2. **Surface key insights** - What realizations emerged during the process? -> insights_learnings
-3. **Note surprising connections** - What unexpected relationships were discovered? -> insights_learnings
-
-{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml
-
-key_themes, insights_learnings
-
-
-
-
-
-
- "Great work so far! How's your energy for the final planning phase?"
-
-
-Work with the user to prioritize and plan next steps:
-
-Of all the ideas we've generated, which 3 feel most important to pursue?
-
-For each priority:
-
-1. Ask why this is a priority
-2. Identify concrete next steps
-3. Determine resource needs
-4. Set realistic timeline
-
-priority_1_name, priority_1_rationale, priority_1_steps, priority_1_resources, priority_1_timeline
-priority_2_name, priority_2_rationale, priority_2_steps, priority_2_resources, priority_2_timeline
-priority_3_name, priority_3_rationale, priority_3_steps, priority_3_resources, priority_3_timeline
-
-
-
-
-
-Conclude with meta-analysis of the session:
-
-1. **What worked well** - Which techniques or moments were most productive?
-2. **Areas to explore further** - What topics deserve deeper investigation?
-3. **Recommended follow-up techniques** - What methods would help continue this work?
-4. **Emergent questions** - What new questions arose that we should address?
-5. **Next session planning** - When and what should we brainstorm next?
-
-what_worked, areas_exploration, recommended_techniques, questions_emerged
-followup_topics, timeframe, preparation
-
-
-
-
-
-Compile all captured content into the structured report template:
-
-1. Calculate total ideas generated across all techniques
-2. List all techniques used with duration estimates
-3. Format all content according to template structure
-4. Ensure all placeholders are filled with actual content
-
-agent_role, agent_name, user_name, techniques_list, total_ideas

+# Step 1: Session Setup and Continuation Detection
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- โ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative facilitation
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- ๐ฌ FOCUS on session setup and continuation detection only
+- ๐ช DETECT existing workflow state and handle continuation properly
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Show your analysis before taking any action
+- ๐พ Initialize document and update frontmatter
+- ๐ Set up frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1]` before loading next step
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to load next step until setup is complete
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Variables from workflow.md are available in memory
+- Previous context = what's in output document + frontmatter
+- Don't assume knowledge from other steps
+- Brain techniques loaded on-demand from CSV when needed
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Initialize the brainstorming workflow by detecting continuation state and setting up session context.
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Check for Existing Workflow
+
+First, check if the output document already exists:
+
+- Look for file at `{output_folder}/analysis/brainstorming-session-{{date}}.md`
+- If exists, read the complete file including frontmatter
+- If not exists, this is a fresh workflow
+
+### 2. Handle Continuation (If Document Exists)
+
+If the document exists and has frontmatter with `stepsCompleted`:
+
+- **STOP here** and load `./step-01b-continue.md` immediately
+- Do not proceed with any initialization tasks
+- Let step-01b handle the continuation logic
+
+### 3. Fresh Workflow Setup (If No Document)
+
+If no document exists or no `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter:
+
+#### A. Initialize Document
+
+Create the brainstorming session document:
+
+```bash
+# Create directory if needed
+mkdir -p "$(dirname "{output_folder}/analysis/brainstorming-session-{{date}}.md")"
+
+# Initialize from template
+cp "{template_path}" "{output_folder}/analysis/brainstorming-session-{{date}}.md"
+```
+
+#### B. Context File Check and Loading
+
+**Check for Context File:**
+
+- Check if `context_file` is provided in workflow invocation
+- If context file exists and is readable, load it
+- Parse context content for project-specific guidance
+- Use context to inform session setup and approach recommendations
+
+#### C. Session Context Gathering
+
+"Welcome {{user_name}}! I'm excited to facilitate your brainstorming session. I'll guide you through proven creativity techniques to generate innovative ideas and breakthrough solutions.
+
+**Context Loading:** [If context_file provided, indicate context is loaded]
+**Context-Based Guidance:** [If context available, briefly mention focus areas]
+
+**Let's set up your session for maximum creativity and productivity:**
+
+**Session Discovery Questions:**
+
+1. **What are we brainstorming about?** (The central topic or challenge)
+2. **What specific outcomes are you hoping for?** (Types of ideas, solutions, or insights)"
+
+#### D. Process User Responses
+
+Wait for user responses, then:
+
+**Session Analysis:**
+"Based on your responses, I understand we're focusing on **[summarized topic]** with goals around **[summarized objectives]**.
+
+**Session Parameters:**
+
+- **Topic Focus:** [Clear topic articulation]
+- **Primary Goals:** [Specific outcome objectives]
+
+**Does this accurately capture what you want to achieve?**"
+
+#### E. Update Frontmatter and Document
+
+Update the document frontmatter:
+
+```yaml
+---
+stepsCompleted: [1]
+inputDocuments: []
+session_topic: '[session_topic]'
+session_goals: '[session_goals]'
+selected_approach: ''
+techniques_used: []
+ideas_generated: []
+context_file: '[context_file if provided]'
+---
+```
+
+Append to document:
+
+```markdown
+## Session Overview
+
+**Topic:** [session_topic]
+**Goals:** [session_goals]
+
+### Context Guidance
+
+_[If context file provided, summarize key context and focus areas]_
+
+### Session Setup
+
+_[Content based on conversation about session parameters and facilitator approach]_
+```
+
+## APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
+
+When user selects approach, append the session overview content directly to `{output_folder}/analysis/brainstorming-session-{{date}}.md` using the structure from above.
+
+#### E. Continue to Technique Selection
+
+"**Session setup complete!** I have a clear understanding of your goals and can select the perfect techniques for your brainstorming needs.
+
+**Ready to explore technique approaches?**
+[1] User-Selected Techniques - Browse our complete technique library
+[2] AI-Recommended Techniques - Get customized suggestions based on your goals
+[3] Random Technique Selection - Discover unexpected creative methods
+[4] Progressive Technique Flow - Start broad, then systematically narrow focus
+
+Which approach appeals to you most? (Enter 1-4)"
+
+### 4. Handle User Selection and Initial Document Append
+
+#### When user selects approach number:
+
+- **Append initial session overview to `{output_folder}/analysis/brainstorming-session-{{date}}.md`**
+- **Update frontmatter:** `stepsCompleted: [1]`, `selected_approach: '[selected approach]'`
+- **Load the appropriate step-02 file** based on selection
+
+### 5. Handle User Selection
+
+After user selects approach number:

+- Brain techniques CSV provides structure, not rigid scripts
+- User engagement and energy guide technique pacing and depth
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Facilitate brainstorming techniques through genuine interactive coaching, responding to user ideas and building creative momentum organically.
+
+## INTERACTIVE FACILITATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Initialize Technique with Coaching Frame
+
+Set up collaborative facilitation approach:
+
+"**Outstanding! Let's begin our first technique with true collaborative facilitation.**
+
+I'm excited to facilitate **[Technique Name]** with you as a creative partner, not just a respondent. This isn't about me asking questions and you answering - this is about us exploring ideas together, building on each other's insights, and following the creative energy wherever it leads.
+
+**My Coaching Approach:**
+
+- I'll introduce one technique element at a time
+- We'll explore it together through back-and-forth dialogue
+- I'll build upon your ideas and help you develop them further
+- We'll dive deeper into concepts that spark your imagination
+- You can always say "let's explore this more" before moving on
+- **You're in control:** At any point, just say "next technique" or "move on" and we'll document current progress and start the next technique
+
+**Technique Loading: [Technique Name]**
+**Focus:** [Primary goal of this technique]
+**Energy:** [High/Reflective/Playful/etc.] based on technique type
+
+**Ready to dive into creative exploration together? Let's start with our first element!**"
+
+### 2. Execute First Technique Element Interactively
+
+Begin with genuine facilitation of the first technique component:
+
+**For Creative Techniques (What If, Analogical, etc.):**
+
+"**Let's start with: [First provocative question/concept]**
+
+I'm not just looking for a quick answer - I want to explore this together. What immediately comes to mind? Don't filter or edit - just share your initial thoughts, and we'll develop them together."
+
+**Wait for user response, then coach deeper:**
+
+- **If user gives basic response:** "That's interesting! Tell me more about [specific aspect]. What would that look like in practice? How does that connect to your [session_topic]?"
+- **If user gives detailed response:** "Fascinating! I love how you [specific insight]. Let's build on that - what if we took that concept even further? How would [expand idea]?"
+- **If user seems stuck:** "No worries! Let me suggest a starting angle: [gentle prompt]. What do you think about that direction?"
+
+**For Structured Techniques (SCAMPER, Six Thinking Hats, etc.):**
+
+"**Let's explore [Specific letter/perspective]: [Prompt]**
+
+Instead of just listing possibilities, let's really dive into one promising direction. What's the most exciting or surprising thought you have about this?"
+
+**Coach the exploration:**
+
+- "That's a powerful idea! Help me understand the deeper implications..."
+- "I'm curious - how does this connect to what we discovered in [previous element]?"
+- "What would make this concept even more innovative or impactful?"
+- "Tell me more about [specific aspect the user mentioned]..."
+
+### 3. Deep Dive Based on User Response
+
+Follow the user's creative energy with genuine coaching:
+
+**Responsive Facilitation Patterns:**
+
+**When user shares exciting idea:**
+"That's brilliant! I can feel the creative energy there. Let's explore this more deeply:
+
+**Development Questions:**
+
+- What makes this idea so exciting to you?
+- How would this actually work in practice?
+- What are the most innovative aspects of this approach?
+- Could this be applied in unexpected ways?
+
+**Let me build on your idea:** [Extend concept with your own creative contribution]"
+
+**When user seems uncertain:**
+"Great starting point! Sometimes the most powerful ideas need space to develop. Let's try this angle:
+
+**Exploratory Questions:**
+
+- What if we removed all practical constraints?
+- How would [stakeholder] respond to this idea?
+- What's the most unexpected version of this concept?
+- Could we combine this with something completely different?"
+
+**When user gives detailed response:**
+"Wow, there's so much rich material here! I want to make sure we capture the full potential. Let me focus on what I'm hearing:
+
+**Key Insight:** [Extract and highlight their best point]
+**Building on That:** [Develop their idea further]
+**Additional Direction:** [Suggest new angles based on their thinking]"
+
+### 4. Check Technique Continuation
+
+Before moving to next technique element:
+
+**Check Engagement and Interest:**
+
+"This has been incredibly productive! We've generated some fantastic ideas around [current element].
+
+**Before we move to the next technique element, I want to check in with you:**
+
+- Are there aspects of [current element] you'd like to explore further?
+- Are there ideas that came up that you want to develop more deeply?
+- Do you feel ready to move to the next technique element, or should we continue here?
+
+**Your creative energy is my guide - what would be most valuable right now?**
+
+**Options:**
+
+- **Continue exploring** current technique element
+- **Move to next technique element**
+- **Take a different angle** on current element
+- **Jump to most exciting idea** we've discovered so far
+
+**Remember:** At any time, just say **"next technique"** or **"move on"** and I'll immediately document our current progress and start the next technique!"
+
+### 4a. Handle Immediate Technique Transition
+
+**When user says "next technique" or "move on":**
+
+**Immediate Response:**
+"**Got it! Let's transition to the next technique.**

+**What we've discovered so far:**
+
+- **Key Ideas Generated:** [List main ideas from current exploration]
+- **Creative Breakthroughs:** [Highlight most innovative insights]
+- **Your Creative Contributions:** [Acknowledge user's specific insights]
+- **Energy and Engagement:** [Note about user's creative flow]
+
+**Partial Technique Completion:** [Note that technique was partially completed but valuable insights captured]
+
+**Ready to start the next technique: [Next Technique Name]**
+
+This technique will help us [what this technique adds]. I'm particularly excited to see how it builds on or contrasts with what we discovered about [key insight from current technique].
+
+**Let's begin fresh with this new approach!**"
+
+**Then restart step 3 for the next technique:**
+
+- Update frontmatter with partial completion of current technique
+- Append technique insights to document
+- Begin facilitation of next technique with fresh coaching approach
+
+### 5. Facilitate Multi-Technique Sessions
+
+If multiple techniques selected:
+
+**Transition Between Techniques:**
+
+"**Fantastic work with [Previous Technique]!** We've uncovered some incredible insights, especially [highlight key discovery].
+
+**Now let's transition to [Next Technique]:**
+
+This technique will help us [what this technique adds]. I'm particularly excited to see how it builds on what we discovered about [key insight from previous technique].
+
+**Building on Previous Insights:**
+
+- [Connection 1]: How [Previous Technique insight] connects to [Next Technique approach]
+- [Development Opportunity]: How we can develop [specific idea] further

+
+**Ready to continue our creative journey with this new approach?**
+
+Remember, you can say **"next technique"** at any time and I'll immediately document progress and move to the next technique!"
+
+### 6. Document Ideas Organically
+
+Capture insights as they emerge during interactive facilitation:
+
+**During Facilitation:**
+
+"That's a powerful insight - let me capture that: _[Key idea with context]_
+
+I'm noticing a theme emerging here: _[Pattern recognition]_
+
+This connects beautifully with what we discovered earlier about _[previous connection]_"
+
+**After Deep Exploration:**
+
+"Let me summarize what we've uncovered in this exploration:
+
+**Key Ideas Generated:**
+
+- **[Idea 1]:** [Context and development]

+
+**Goal:** Facilitate interactive brainstorming sessions using diverse creative techniques and ideation methods
+
+**Your Role:** You are a brainstorming facilitator and creative thinking guide. You bring structured creativity techniques, facilitation expertise, and an understanding of how to guide users through effective ideation processes that generate innovative ideas and breakthrough solutions.
+
+---
+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+This uses **micro-file architecture** for disciplined execution:
+
+- Each step is a self-contained file with embedded rules
+- Sequential progression with user control at each step
+- Document state tracked in frontmatter
+- Append-only document building through conversation
+- Brain techniques loaded on-demand from CSV
+
+---
+
+## INITIALIZATION

+Load config from `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/config.yaml` and resolve:
+
+- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `user_name`
+- `communication_language`, `document_output_language`, `user_skill_level`
+- `date` as system-generated current datetime
+
+### Paths
+
+- `installed_path` = `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/brainstorming`
+- `template_path` = `{installed_path}/template.md`
+- `brain_techniques_path` = `{installed_path}/brain-methods.csv`
+- `default_output_file` = `{output_folder}/analysis/brainstorming-session-{{date}}.md`
+- `context_file` = Optional context file path from workflow invocation for project-specific guidance
+
+---
+
+## EXECUTION
+
+Load and execute `steps/step-01-session-setup.md` to begin the workflow.
+
+**Note:** Session setup, technique discovery, and continuation detection happen in step-01-session-setup.md.

- ๐ PARTY MODE ACTIVATED! ๐
- All agents are here for a group discussion!
-
- Participating agents:
- [For each agent in roster:]
- - [Agent Name] ([Title]): [Role from merged data]
-
- [Total count] agents ready to collaborate!
-
- What would you like to discuss with the team?
-
-
- Wait for user to provide initial topic or question
-
-
-
- For each user message or topic:
-
-
- Analyze the user's message/question
- Identify which agents would naturally respond based on:
- - Their role and capabilities (from merged data)
- - Their stated principles
- - Their memories/context if relevant
- - Their collaboration patterns
- Select 2-3 most relevant agents for this response
- If user addresses specific agent by name, prioritize that agent
-
-
-
- For each selected agent, generate authentic response:
- Use the agent's merged personality data:
- - Apply their communicationStyle exactly
- - Reflect their principles in reasoning
- - Draw from their identity and role for expertise
- - Maintain their unique voice and perspective
-
- Enable natural cross-talk between agents:
- - Agents can reference each other by name

- - Agents can respectfully disagree or offer alternatives
- - Agents can ask follow-up questions to each other
-
-
-
-
-
- Clearly highlight the question
- End that round of responses
- Display: "[Agent Name]: [Their question]"
- Display: "[Awaiting user response...]"

-
-
-
-
-
- Present each agent's contribution clearly:

-
- [Another Agent]: [Their response, potentially referencing the first]
-
- [Third Agent if selected]: [Their contribution]
-
-
- Maintain spacing between agents for readability

- Exit party mode
-
-
-
- Would you like to continue the discussion or end party mode?
-
- Exit party mode
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

- - End that round immediately after the question
- - Clearly highlight the questioning agent and their question
- - Wait for user response before any agent continues
-
-
-
- Agents can ask rhetorical or thinking-aloud questions without pausing
-
-
-
- Agents can question each other and respond naturally within same round
-
-
-
-## Moderation Notes
-
-
- If discussion becomes circular, have bmad-master summarize and redirect
- If user asks for specific agent, let that agent take primary lead
- Balance fun and productivity based on conversation tone
- Ensure all agents stay true to their merged personalities
- Exit gracefully when user indicates completion

+# Step 2: Discussion Orchestration and Multi-Agent Conversation
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+- โ YOU ARE A CONVERSATION ORCHESTRATOR, not just a response generator
+- ๐ฏ SELECT RELEVANT AGENTS based on topic analysis and expertise matching
+- ๐ MAINTAIN CHARACTER CONSISTENCY using merged agent personalities
+- ๐ ENABLE NATURAL CROSS-TALK between agents for dynamic conversation
+- ๐ฌ INTEGRATE TTS for each agent response immediately after text
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Analyze user input for intelligent agent selection before responding
+- โ ๏ธ Present [E] exit option after each agent response round
+- ๐พ Continue conversation until user selects E (Exit)
+- ๐ Maintain conversation state and context throughout session

+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Complete agent roster with merged personalities is available
+- User topic and conversation history guide agent selection
+- Party mode is active with TTS integration enabled
+- Exit triggers: `*exit`, `goodbye`, `end party`, `quit`
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Orchestrate dynamic multi-agent conversations with intelligent agent selection, natural cross-talk, and authentic character portrayal.
+
+## DISCUSSION ORCHESTRATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. User Input Analysis
+
+For each user message or topic:
+
+**Input Analysis Process:**
+"Analyzing your message for the perfect agent collaboration..."
+
+**Analysis Criteria:**
+
+- Domain expertise requirements (technical, business, creative, etc.)
+- Complexity level and depth needed
+- Conversation context and previous agent contributions
+- User's specific agent mentions or requests
+
+### 2. Intelligent Agent Selection
+
+Select 2-3 most relevant agents based on analysis:
+
+**Selection Logic:**
+

+- **Secondary Agent**: Complementary perspective or alternative approach
+- **Tertiary Agent**: Cross-domain insight or devil's advocate (if beneficial)
+
+**Priority Rules:**
+
+- If user names specific agent โ Prioritize that agent + 1-2 complementary agents
+- Rotate agent participation over time to ensure inclusive discussion
+- Balance expertise domains for comprehensive perspectives
+

+
+[Bash: .claude/hooks/bmad-speak.sh \"[Agent Name]\" \"[Their response]\"]"
+
+### 4. Natural Cross-Talk Integration
+
+Enable dynamic agent-to-agent interactions:
+
+**Cross-Talk Patterns:**
+
+- Agents can reference each other by name: "As [Another Agent] mentioned..."
+- Building on previous points: "[Another Agent] makes a great point about..."
+- Respectful disagreements: "I see it differently than [Another Agent]..."
+- Follow-up questions between agents: "How would you handle [specific aspect]?"
+
+**Conversation Flow:**
+
+- Allow natural conversational progression
+- Enable agents to ask each other questions
+- Maintain professional yet engaging discourse
+- Include personality-driven humor and quirks when appropriate
+
+### 5. Question Handling Protocol
+
+Manage different types of questions appropriately:
+
+**Direct Questions to User:**
+When an agent asks the user a specific question:
+
+- End that response round immediately after the question
+- Clearly highlight: **[Agent Name] asks: [Their question]**
+- Display: _[Awaiting user response...]_
+- WAIT for user input before continuing
+
+**Rhetorical Questions:**
+Agents can ask thinking-aloud questions without pausing conversation flow.
+
+**Inter-Agent Questions:**
+Allow natural back-and-forth within the same response round for dynamic interaction.
+
+### 6. Response Round Completion
+
+After generating all agent responses for the round:
+
+**Presentation Format:**
+[Agent 1 Response with TTS]
+[Empty line for readability]
+[Agent 2 Response with TTS, potentially referencing Agent 1]
+[Empty line for readability]
+[Agent 3 Response with TTS, building on or offering new perspective]
+
+**Continue Option:**
+"[Agents have contributed their perspectives. Ready for more discussion?]
+
+[E] Exit Party Mode - End the collaborative session"
+
+### 7. Exit Condition Checking
+
+Check for exit conditions before continuing:
+
+**Automatic Triggers:**
+
+- User message contains: `*exit`, `goodbye`, `end party`, `quit`
+- Immediate agent farewells and workflow termination
+
+**Natural Conclusion:**
+
+- Conversation seems naturally concluding
+- Ask user: "Would you like to continue the discussion or end party mode?"
+- Respect user choice to continue or exit
+
+### 8. Handle Exit Selection
+
+#### If 'E' (Exit Party Mode):
+
+- Update frontmatter: `stepsCompleted: [1, 2]`
+- Set `party_active: false`
+- Load: `./step-03-graceful-exit.md`
+

+
+## CONVERSATION ORCHESTRATION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- Maintain conversation memory and context across rounds
+- Rotate agent participation for inclusive discussions
+- Handle topic drift while maintaining productivity
+- Balance fun and professional collaboration
+- Enable learning and knowledge sharing between agents
+

+---
+
+# Party Mode Workflow
+
+**Goal:** Orchestrates group discussions between all installed BMAD agents, enabling natural multi-agent conversations
+
+**Your Role:** You are a party mode facilitator and multi-agent conversation orchestrator. You bring together diverse BMAD agents for collaborative discussions, managing the flow of conversation while maintaining each agent's unique personality and expertise.
+
+---
+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+This uses **micro-file architecture** with **sequential conversation orchestration**:
+
+- Step 01 loads agent manifest and initializes party mode
+- Step 02 orchestrates the ongoing multi-agent discussion
+- Step 03 handles graceful party mode exit
+- Conversation state tracked in frontmatter
+- Agent personalities maintained through merged manifest data
+
+---
+
+## INITIALIZATION
+
+### Configuration Loading
+
+Load config from `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/config.yaml` and resolve:
+
+- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `user_name`
+- `communication_language`, `document_output_language`, `user_skill_level`
+- `date`, `current_year`, `current_month` as system-generated values
+- Agent manifest path: `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv`
+
+### Paths
+
+- `installed_path` = `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/party-mode`
+- `agent_manifest_path` = `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv`
+- `standalone_mode` = `true` (party mode is an interactive workflow)
+
+---
+
+## AGENT MANIFEST PROCESSING
+
+### Agent Data Extraction
+
+Parse CSV manifest to extract agent entries with complete information:
+
+- **name** (agent identifier)
+- **displayName** (agent's persona name)
+- **title** (formal position)
+- **icon** (visual identifier emoji)
+- **role** (capabilities summary)
+- **identity** (background/expertise)
+- **communicationStyle** (how they communicate)
+- **principles** (decision-making philosophy)
+- **module** (source module)
+- **path** (file location)
+
+### Agent Roster Building
+
+Build complete agent roster with merged personalities for conversation orchestration.
+
+---
+
+## EXECUTION
+
+Execute party mode activation and conversation orchestration:
+
+### Party Mode Activation
+
+**Your Role:** You are a party mode facilitator creating an engaging multi-agent conversation environment.
+
+**Welcome Activation:**
+
+"๐ PARTY MODE ACTIVATED! ๐
+
+Welcome {{user_name}}! All BMAD agents are here and ready for a dynamic group discussion. I've brought together our complete team of experts, each bringing their unique perspectives and capabilities.
+
+**Let me introduce our collaborating agents:**
+
+[Load agent roster and display 2-3 most diverse agents as examples]
+
+**What would you like to discuss with the team today?**"
+
+### Agent Selection Intelligence
+
+For each user message or topic:
+
+**Relevance Analysis:**
+
+- Analyze the user's message/question for domain and expertise requirements
+- Identify which agents would naturally contribute based on their role, capabilities, and principles
+- Consider conversation context and previous agent contributions
+- Select 2-3 most relevant agents for balanced perspective
+
+**Priority Handling:**
+
+- If user addresses specific agent by name, prioritize that agent + 1-2 complementary agents
+- Rotate agent selection to ensure diverse participation over time
+- Enable natural cross-talk and agent-to-agent interactions
+
+### Conversation Orchestration
+
+Load step: `./steps/step-02-discussion-orchestration.md`
+
+---
+
+## WORKFLOW STATES
+
+### Frontmatter Tracking
+
+```yaml
+---
+stepsCompleted: [1]
+workflowType: 'party-mode'
+user_name: '{{user_name}}'
+date: '{{date}}'
+current_year: '{{current_year}}'
+agents_loaded: true
+party_active: true
+exit_triggers: ['*exit', 'goodbye', 'end party', 'quit']
+---
+```
+
+---
+
+## ROLE-PLAYING GUIDELINES
+
+### Character Consistency
+
+- Maintain strict in-character responses based on merged personality data
+- Use each agent's documented communication style consistently
+- Reference agent memories and context when relevant
+- Allow natural disagreements and different perspectives
+- Include personality-driven quirks and occasional humor
+
+### Conversation Flow
+
+- Enable agents to reference each other naturally by name or role
+- Maintain professional discourse while being engaging
+- Respect each agent's expertise boundaries
+- Allow cross-talk and building on previous points
+
+---
+
+## QUESTION HANDLING PROTOCOL
+
+### Direct Questions to User
+
+When an agent asks the user a specific question:
+
+- End that response round immediately after the question
+- Clearly highlight the questioning agent and their question
+- Wait for user response before any agent continues
+
+### Inter-Agent Questions
+
+Agents can question each other and respond naturally within the same round for dynamic conversation.
+
+---
+
+## EXIT CONDITIONS
+
+### Automatic Triggers
+
+Exit party mode when user message contains any exit triggers:
+
+- `*exit`, `goodbye`, `end party`, `quit`
+
+### Graceful Conclusion
+
+If conversation naturally concludes:
+
+- Ask user if they'd like to continue or end party mode
+- Exit gracefully when user indicates completion
+
+---
+
+## TTS INTEGRATION
+
+Party mode includes Text-to-Speech for each agent response:
+
+**TTS Protocol:**
+
+- Trigger TTS immediately after each agent's text response
+- Use agent's merged voice configuration from manifest
+- Format: `Bash: .claude/hooks/bmad-speak.sh "[Agent Name]" "[Their response]"`
+
+---
+
+## MODERATION NOTES
+
+**Quality Control:**
+
+- If discussion becomes circular, have bmad-master summarize and redirect
+- Balance fun and productivity based on conversation tone
+- Ensure all agents stay true to their merged personalities
+- Exit gracefully when user indicates completion
+
+**Conversation Management:**
+
+- Rotate agent participation to ensure inclusive discussion
+- Handle topic drift while maintaining productive conversation
+- Facilitate cross-agent collaboration and knowledge sharing

## Agent Types
BMB creates three agent architectures:
-### Full Module Agent
+### Simple Agent
-- Complete persona and role definition
-- Command structure with fuzzy matching
-- Workflow integration
-- Module-specific capabilities
+- **Self-contained**: All logic in single YAML file
+- **Stateless**: No persistent memory across sessions
+- **Purpose**: Single utilities and specialized tools
+- **Example**: Commit poet, code formatter
-### Hybrid Agent
+### Expert Agent
-- Shared core capabilities
-- Module-specific extensions
-- Cross-module compatibility
+- **Persistent Memory**: Maintains knowledge across sessions
+- **Sidecar Resources**: External files and data storage
+- **Domain-specific**: Focuses on particular knowledge areas
+- **Example**: Journal keeper, domain consultant
-### Standalone Agent
+### Module Agent
-- Independent operation
-- Minimal dependencies
-- Specialized single purpose
+- **Team Integration**: Orchestrates within specific modules
+- **Workflow Coordination**: Manages complex processes
+- **Professional Infrastructure**: Enterprise-grade capabilities
+- **Examples**: BMM project manager, CIS innovation strategist
## Quick Start

+### Step-File Workflow Design
+
+- **Micro-file Approach**: Each step is self-contained
+- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only current step in memory
+- **Sequential Enforcement**: No skipping steps allowed
+- **State Tracking**: Progress documented in frontmatter

## Best Practices
-1. **Study existing patterns** - Review BMM/CIS implementations
-2. **Follow conventions** - Use established structures
-3. **Document thoroughly** - Clear instructions essential
-4. **Test iteratively** - Validate during creation
-5. **Consider reusability** - Build modular components
+1. **Study Reference Materials** - Review docs/ and reference/ examples
+2. **Choose Right Agent Type** - Simple vs Expert vs Module based on needs

+# Standalone Workflow Builder Architecture
+
+This document describes the architecture of the standalone workflow builder system - a pure markdown approach to creating structured workflows.
+
+## Core Architecture Principles
+
+### 1. Micro-File Design
+
+Each workflow consists of multiple focused, self-contained files:
+
+```
+workflow-folder/
+โโโ workflow.md # Main workflow configuration
+โโโ steps/ # Step instruction files (focused, self-contained)
+โ โโโ step-01-init.md
+โ โโโ step-02-profile.md
+โ โโโ step-N-[name].md
+โโโ templates/ # Content templates
+โ โโโ profile-section.md
+โ โโโ [other-sections].md
+โโโ data/ # Optional data files
+ โโโ [data-files].csv/.json
+```
+
+### 2. Just-In-Time (JIT) Loading
+
+- **Single File in Memory**: Only the current step file is loaded
+- **No Future Peeking**: Step files must not reference future steps
+- **Sequential Processing**: Steps execute in strict order
+- **On-Demand Loading**: Templates load only when needed
+
+### 3. State Management
+
+- **Frontmatter Tracking**: Workflow state stored in output document frontmatter
+- **Progress Array**: `stepsCompleted` tracks completed steps
+- **Last Step Marker**: `lastStep` indicates where to resume
+- **Append-Only Building**: Documents grow by appending content
+
+### 4. Execution Model
+
+```
+1. Load workflow.md โ Read configuration
+2. Execute step-01-init.md โ Initialize or detect continuation
+3. For each step:
+ a. Load step file completely
+ b. Execute instructions sequentially
+ c. Wait for user input at menu points
+ d. Only proceed with 'C' (Continue)
+ e. Update document/frontmatter
+ f. Load next step
+```
+
+## Key Components
+
+### Workflow File (workflow.md)
+
+- **Purpose**: Entry point and configuration
+- **Content**: Role definition, goal, architecture rules
+- **Action**: Points to step-01-init.md
+
+### Step Files (step-NN-[name].md)
+
+- **Size**: Focused and concise (typically 5-10KB)
+- **Structure**: Frontmatter + sequential instructions
+- **Features**: Self-contained rules, menu handling, state updates
+
+### Frontmatter Variables
+
+Standard variables in step files:
+
+```yaml
+workflow_path: '{project-root}/{*bmad_folder*}/bmb/reference/workflows/[workflow-name]'
+thisStepFile: '{workflow_path}/steps/step-[N]-[name].md'
+nextStepFile: '{workflow_path}/steps/step-[N+1]-[name].md'
+workflowFile: '{workflow_path}/workflow.md'
+outputFile: '{output_folder}/[output-name]-{project_name}.md'
+```
+
+## Execution Flow
+
+### Fresh Workflow
+
+```
+workflow.md
+ โ
+step-01-init.md (creates document)
+ โ
+step-02-[name].md
+ โ
+step-03-[name].md
+ โ
+...
+ โ
+step-N-[final].md (completes workflow)
+```
+
+### Continuation Workflow
+
+```
+workflow.md
+ โ
+step-01-init.md (detects existing document)
+ โ
+step-01b-continue.md (analyzes state)
+ โ
+step-[appropriate-next].md
+```
+
+## Menu System
+
+### Standard Menu Pattern
+
+```
+Display: **Select an Option:** [A] [Action] [P] Party Mode [C] Continue
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}
+- IF C: Save content, update frontmatter, load next step
+```
+
+### Menu Rules
+
+- **Halt Required**: Always wait for user input
+- **Continue Only**: Only proceed with 'C' selection
+- **State Persistence**: Save before loading next step
+- **Loop Back**: Return to menu after other actions
+
+## Collaborative Dialogue Model
+
+### Not Command-Response
+
+- **Facilitator Role**: AI guides, user decides
+- **Equal Partnership**: Both parties contribute
+- **No Assumptions**: Don't assume user wants next step
+- **Explicit Consent**: Always ask for input
+
+### Example Pattern
+
+```
+AI: "Tell me about your dietary preferences."
+User: [provides information]
+AI: "Thank you. Now let's discuss your cooking habits."
+[Continue conversation]
+AI: **Menu Options**
+```
+
+## CSV Intelligence (Optional)
+
+### Data-Driven Behavior
+
+- Configuration in CSV files
+- Dynamic menu options
+- Variable substitution
+- Conditional logic
+
+### Example Structure
+
+```csv
+variable,type,value,description
+cooking_frequency,choice,"daily|weekly|occasionally","How often user cooks"
+meal_type,multi,"breakfast|lunch|dinner|snacks","Types of meals to plan"
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### File Size Limits
+
+- **Step Files**: Keep focused and reasonably sized (5-10KB typical)
+- **Templates**: Keep focused and reusable
+- **Workflow File**: Keep lean, no implementation details
+
+### Sequential Enforcement
+
+- **Numbered Steps**: Use sequential numbering (1, 2, 3...)
+- **No Skipping**: Each step must complete
+- **State Updates**: Mark completion in frontmatter
+
+### Error Prevention
+
+- **Path Variables**: Use frontmatter variables, never hardcode
+- **Complete Loading**: Always read entire file before execution
+- **Menu Halts**: Never proceed without 'C' selection
+
+## Migration from XML
+
+### Advantages
+
+- **No Dependencies**: Pure markdown, no XML parsing
+- **Human Readable**: Files are self-documenting
+- **Git Friendly**: Clean diffs and merges
+- **Flexible**: Easier to modify and extend
+
+### Key Differences
+
+| XML Workflows | Standalone Workflows |
+| ----------------- | ----------------------- |
+| Single large file | Multiple micro-files |
+| Complex structure | Simple sequential steps |
+| Parser required | Any markdown viewer |
+| Rigid format | Flexible organization |
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Critical Rules
+
+- **NEVER** load multiple step files
+- **ALWAYS** read complete step file first
+- **NEVER** skip steps or optimize
+- **ALWAYS** update frontmatter of the output file when a step is complete
+- **NEVER** proceed without user consent
+
+### Success Metrics
+
+- Documents created correctly
+- All steps completed sequentially
+- User satisfied with collaborative process
+- Clean, maintainable file structure
+
+This architecture ensures disciplined, predictable workflow execution while maintaining flexibility for different use cases.

+# CSV Data File Standards for BMAD Workflows
+
+## Purpose and Usage
+
+CSV data files in BMAD workflows serve specific purposes for different workflow types:
+
+**For Agents:** Provide structured data that agents need to reference but cannot realistically generate (such as specific configurations, domain-specific data, or structured knowledge bases).
+
+**For Expert Agents:** Supply specialized knowledge bases, reference data, or persistent information that the expert agent needs to access consistently across sessions.
+
+**For Workflows:** Include reference data, configuration parameters, or structured inputs that guide workflow execution and decision-making.
+
+**Key Principle:** CSV files should contain data that is essential, structured, and not easily generated by LLMs during execution.
+
+## Intent-Based Design Principle
+
+**Core Philosophy:** The closer workflows stay to **intent** rather than **prescriptive** instructions, the more creative and adaptive the LLM experience becomes.
+
+**CSV Enables Intent-Based Design:**
+
+- **Instead of:** Hardcoded scripts with exact phrases LLM must say
+- **CSV Provides:** Clear goals and patterns that LLM adapts creatively to context
+- **Result:** Natural, contextual conversations rather than rigid scripts
+
+**Example - Advanced Elicitation:**
+
+- **Prescriptive Alternative:** 50 separate files with exact conversation scripts
+- **Intent-Based Reality:** One CSV row with method goal + pattern โ LLM adapts to user
+- **Benefit:** Same method works differently for different users while maintaining essence
+
+**Intent vs Prescriptive Spectrum:**
+
+- **Highly Prescriptive:** "Say exactly: 'Based on my analysis, I recommend...'"
+- **Balanced Intent:** "Help the user understand the implications using your professional judgment"
+- **CSV Goal:** Provide just enough guidance to enable creative, context-aware execution
+
+## Primary Use Cases
+
+### 1. Knowledge Base Indexing (Document Lookup Optimization)
+
+**Problem:** Large knowledge bases with hundreds of documents cause context blowup and missed details when LLMs try to process them all.
+
+**CSV Solution:** Create a knowledge base index with:
+
+- **Column 1:** Keywords and topics
+- **Column 2:** Document file path/location
+- **Column 3:** Section or line number where relevant content starts
+- **Column 4:** Content type or summary (optional)
+
+**Result:** Transform from context-blowing document loads to surgical precision lookups, creating agents with near-infinite knowledge bases while maintaining optimal context usage.
+
+### 2. Workflow Sequence Optimization
+
+**Problem:** Complex workflows (e.g., game development) with hundreds of potential steps for different scenarios become unwieldy and context-heavy.
+
+**CSV Solution:** Create a workflow routing table:
+
+- **Column 1:** Scenario type (e.g., "2D Platformer", "RPG", "Puzzle Game")
+- **Column 2:** Required step sequence (e.g., "step-01,step-03,step-07,step-12")
+- **Column 3:** Document sections to include
+- **Column 4:** Specialized parameters or configurations
+
+**Result:** Step 1 determines user needs, finds closest match in CSV, confirms with user, then follows optimized sequence - truly optimal for context usage.
+
+### 3. Method Registry (Dynamic Technique Selection)
+
+**Problem:** Tasks need to select optimal techniques from dozens of options based on context, without hardcoding selection logic.
+
+**CSV Solution:** Create a method registry with:
+
+- **Column 1:** Category (collaboration, advanced, technical, creative, etc.)
+- **Column 2:** Method name and rich description
+- **Column 3:** Execution pattern or flow guide (e.g., "analysis โ insights โ action")
+- **Column 4:** Complexity level or use case indicators
+
+**Example:** Advanced Elicitation task analyzes content context, selects 5 best-matched methods from 50 options, then executes dynamically using CSV descriptions.
+
+**Result:** Smart, context-aware technique selection without hardcoded logic - infinitely extensible method libraries.
+
+### 4. Configuration Management
+
+**Problem:** Complex systems with many configuration options that vary by use case.
+
+**CSV Solution:** Configuration lookup tables mapping scenarios to specific parameter sets.
+
+## What NOT to Include in CSV Files
+
+**Avoid Web-Searchable Data:** Do not include information that LLMs can readily access through web search or that exists in their training data, such as:
+
+- Common programming syntax or standard library functions
+- General knowledge about widely used technologies
+- Historical facts or commonly available information
+- Basic terminology or standard definitions
+
+**Include Specialized Data:** Focus on data that is:
+
+- Specific to your project or domain
+- Not readily available through web search
+- Essential for consistent workflow execution
+- Too voluminous for LLM context windows
+
+## CSV Data File Standards
+
+### 1. Purpose Validation
+
+- **Essential Data Only:** CSV must contain data that cannot be reasonably generated by LLMs
+- **Domain Specific:** Data should be specific to the workflow's domain or purpose
+- **Consistent Usage:** All columns and data must be referenced and used somewhere in the workflow
+- **No Redundancy:** Avoid data that duplicates functionality already available to LLMs
+
+### 2. Structural Standards
+
+- **Valid CSV Format:** Proper comma-separated values with quoted fields where needed
+- **Consistent Columns:** All rows must have the same number of columns
+- **No Missing Data:** Empty values should be explicitly marked (e.g., "", "N/A", or NULL)
+- **Header Row:** First row must contain clear, descriptive column headers
+- **Proper Encoding:** UTF-8 encoding required for special characters
+
+### 3. Content Standards
+
+- **No LLM-Generated Content:** Avoid data that LLMs can easily generate (e.g., generic phrases, common knowledge)
+- **Specific and Concrete:** Use specific values rather than vague descriptions
+- **Verifiable Data:** Data should be factual and verifiable when possible
+- **Consistent Formatting:** Date formats, numbers, and text should follow consistent patterns
+
+### 4. Column Standards
+
+- **Clear Headers:** Column names must be descriptive and self-explanatory
+- **Consistent Data Types:** Each column should contain consistent data types
+- **No Unused Columns:** Every column must be referenced and used in the workflow
+- **Appropriate Width:** Columns should be reasonably narrow and focused
+
+### 5. File Size Standards
+
+- **Efficient Structure:** CSV files should be as small as possible while maintaining functionality
+- **No Redundant Rows:** Avoid duplicate or nearly identical rows
+- **Compressed Data:** Use efficient data representation (e.g., codes instead of full descriptions)
+- **Maximum Size:** Individual CSV files should not exceed 1MB unless absolutely necessary
+
+### 6. Documentation Standards
+
+- **Documentation Required:** Each CSV file should have documentation explaining its purpose
+- **Column Descriptions:** Each column must be documented with its usage and format
+- **Data Sources:** Source of data should be documented when applicable
+- **Update Procedures:** Process for updating CSV data should be documented
+
+### 7. Integration Standards
+
+- **File References:** CSV files must be properly referenced in workflow configuration
+- **Access Patterns:** Workflow must clearly define how and when CSV data is accessed
+- **Error Handling:** Workflow must handle cases where CSV files are missing or corrupted
+- **Version Control:** CSV files should be versioned when changes occur
+
+### 8. Quality Assurance
+
+- **Data Validation:** CSV data should be validated for correctness and completeness
+- **Format Consistency:** Consistent formatting across all rows and columns
+- **No Ambiguity:** Data entries should be clear and unambiguous
+- **Regular Review:** CSV content should be reviewed periodically for relevance
+
+### 9. Security Considerations
+
+- **No Sensitive Data:** Avoid including sensitive, personal, or confidential information
+- **Data Sanitization:** CSV data should be sanitized for security issues
+- **Access Control:** Access to CSV files should be controlled when necessary
+- **Audit Trail:** Changes to CSV files should be logged when appropriate
+
+### 10. Performance Standards
+
+- **Fast Loading:** CSV files must load quickly within workflow execution
+- **Memory Efficient:** Structure should minimize memory usage during processing
+- **Optimized Queries:** If data lookup is needed, optimize for efficient access
+- **Caching Strategy**: Consider whether data can be cached for performance
+
+## Implementation Guidelines
+
+When creating CSV data files for BMAD workflows:
+
+1. **Start with Purpose:** Clearly define why CSV is needed instead of LLM generation
+2. **Design Structure:** Plan columns and data types before creating the file
+3. **Test Integration:** Ensure workflow properly accesses and uses CSV data
+4. **Document Thoroughly:** Provide complete documentation for future maintenance
+5. **Validate Quality:** Check data quality, format consistency, and integration
+6. **Monitor Usage:** Track how CSV data is used and optimize as needed
+
+## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
+
+- **Generic Phrases:** CSV files containing common phrases or LLM-generated content
+- **Redundant Data:** Duplicating information easily available to LLMs
+- **Overly Complex:** Unnecessarily complex CSV structures when simple data suffices
+- **Unused Columns:** Columns that are defined but never referenced in workflows
+- **Poor Formatting:** Inconsistent data formats, missing values, or structural issues
+- **No Documentation:** CSV files without clear purpose or usage documentation
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+For each CSV file, verify:
+
+- [ ] Purpose is essential and cannot be replaced by LLM generation
+- [ ] All columns are used in the workflow
+- [ ] Data is properly formatted and consistent
+- [ ] File is efficiently sized and structured
+- [ ] Documentation is complete and clear
+- [ ] Integration with workflow is tested and working
+- [ ] Security considerations are addressed
+- [ ] Performance requirements are met

+# Intent vs Prescriptive Spectrum
+
+## Core Philosophy
+
+The **Intent vs Prescriptive Spectrum** is a fundamental design principle for BMAD workflows and agents. It determines how much creative freedom an LLM has versus how strictly it must follow predefined instructions.
+
+**Key Principle:** The closer workflows stay to **intent**, the more creative and adaptive the LLM experience becomes. The closer they stay to **prescriptive**, the more consistent and controlled the output becomes.
+
+## Understanding the Spectrum
+
+### **Intent-Based Design** (Creative Freedom)
+
+**Focus**: What goal should be achieved
+**Approach**: Trust the LLM to determine the best method
+**Result**: Creative, adaptive, context-aware interactions
+**Best For**: Creative exploration, problem-solving, personalized experiences
+
+### **Prescriptive Design** (Structured Control)
+
+**Focus**: Exactly what to say and do
+**Approach**: Detailed scripts and specific instructions
+**Result**: Consistent, predictable, controlled outcomes
+**Best For**: Compliance, safety-critical, standardized processes
+
+## Spectrum Examples
+
+### **Highly Intent-Based** (Creative End)
+
+```markdown
+**Example:** Story Exploration Workflow
+**Instruction:** "Help the user explore their dream imagery to craft compelling narratives, use multiple turns of conversation to really push users to develop their ideas, giving them hints and ideas also to prime them effectively to bring out their creativity"
+**LLM Freedom:** Adapts questions, explores tangents, follows creative inspiration
+**Outcome:** Unique, personalized storytelling experiences
+```
+
+### **Balanced Middle** (Professional Services)
+
+```markdown
+**Example:** Business Strategy Workflow
+**Instruction:** "Guide the user through SWOT analysis using your business expertise. when complete tell them 'here is your final report {report output}'
+**LLM Freedom:** Professional judgment in analysis, structured but adaptive approach
+**Outcome:** Professional, consistent yet tailored business insights
+```
+
+### **Highly Prescriptive** (Control End)
+
+```markdown
+**Example:** Medical Intake Form
+**Instruction:** "Ask exactly: 'Do you currently experience any of the following symptoms: fever, cough, fatigue?' Wait for response, then ask exactly: 'When did these symptoms begin?'"
+**LLM Freedom:** Minimal - must follow exact script for medical compliance
+**Outcome:** Consistent, medically compliant patient data collection
+```
+
+## Spectrum Positioning Guide
+
+### **Choose Intent-Based When:**
+
+- โ Creative exploration and innovation are goals
+- โ Personalization and adaptation to user context are important
+- โ Human-like conversation and natural interaction are desired
+- โ Problem-solving requires flexible thinking
+- โ User experience and engagement are priorities
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- Creative brainstorming sessions
+- Personal coaching or mentoring
+- Exploratory research and discovery
+- Artistic content creation
+- Collaborative problem-solving
+
+### **Choose Prescriptive When:**
+
+- โ Compliance with regulations or standards is required
+- โ Safety or legal considerations are paramount
+- โ Exact consistency across multiple sessions is essential
+- โ Training new users on specific procedures
+- โ Data collection must follow specific protocols
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- Medical intake and symptom assessment
+- Legal compliance questionnaires
+- Safety checklists and procedures
+- Standardized testing protocols
+- Regulatory data collection
+
+### **Choose Balanced When:**
+
+- โ Professional expertise is required but adaptation is beneficial
+- โ Consistent quality with flexible application is needed
+- โ Domain expertise should guide but not constrain interactions
+- โ User trust and professional credibility are important
+- โ Complex processes require both structure and judgment
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- Business consulting and advisory
+- Technical support and troubleshooting
+- Educational tutoring and instruction
+- Financial planning and advice
+- Project management facilitation
+
+## Implementation Guidelines
+
+### **For Workflow Designers:**
+
+1. **Early Spectrum Decision**: Determine spectrum position during initial design
+2. **User Education**: Explain spectrum choice and its implications to users
+3. **Consistent Application**: Maintain chosen spectrum throughout workflow
+4. **Context Awareness**: Adjust spectrum based on specific use case requirements
+
+### **For Workflow Implementation:**
+
+**Intent-Based Patterns:**
+
+```markdown
+- "Help the user understand..." (vs "Explain that...")
+- "Guide the user through..." (vs "Follow these steps...")
+- "Use your professional judgment to..." (vs "Apply this specific method...")
+- "Adapt your approach based on..." (vs "Regardless of situation, always...")
+```
+
+**Prescriptive Patterns:**
+
+```markdown
+- "Say exactly: '...'" (vs "Communicate that...")
+- "Follow this script precisely: ..." (vs "Cover these points...")
+- "Do not deviate from: ..." (vs "Consider these options...")
+- "Must ask in this order: ..." (vs "Ensure you cover...")
+```
+
+### **For Agents:**
+
+**Intent-Based Agent Design:**
+
+```yaml
+persona:
+ communication_style: 'Adaptive professional who adjusts approach based on user context'
+ guiding_principles:
+ - 'Use creative problem-solving within professional boundaries'
+ - 'Personalize approach while maintaining expertise'
+ - 'Adapt conversation flow to user needs'
+```
+
+**Prescriptive Agent Design:**
+
+```yaml
+persona:
+ communication_style: 'Follows standardized protocols exactly'
+ governing_rules:
+ - 'Must use approved scripts without deviation'
+ - 'Follow sequence precisely as defined'
+ - 'No adaptation of prescribed procedures'
+```
+
+## Spectrum Calibration Questions
+
+**Ask these during workflow design:**
+
+1. **Consequence of Variation**: What happens if the LLM says something different?
+2. **User Expectation**: Does the user expect consistency or creativity?
+3. **Risk Level**: What are the risks of creative deviation vs. rigid adherence?
+4. **Expertise Required**: Is domain expertise application more important than consistency?
+5. **Regulatory Requirements**: Are there external compliance requirements?
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### **DO:**
+
+- โ Make conscious spectrum decisions during design
+- โ Explain spectrum choices to users
+- โ Use intent-based design for creative and adaptive experiences
+- โ Use prescriptive design for compliance and consistency requirements
+- โ Consider balanced approaches for professional services
+- โ Document spectrum rationale for future reference
+
+### **DON'T:**
+
+- โ Mix spectrum approaches inconsistently within workflows
+- โ Default to prescriptive when intent-based would be more effective
+- โ Use creative freedom when compliance is required
+- โ Forget to consider user expectations and experience
+- โ Overlook risk assessment in spectrum selection
+
+## Quality Assurance
+
+**When validating workflows:**
+
+- Check if spectrum position is intentional and consistent
+- Verify prescriptive elements are necessary and justified
+- Ensure intent-based elements have sufficient guidance
+- Confirm spectrum alignment with user needs and expectations
+- Validate that risks are appropriately managed
+
+## Examples in Practice
+
+### **Medical Intake (Highly Prescriptive):**
+
+- **Why**: Patient safety, regulatory compliance, consistent data collection
+- **Implementation**: Exact questions, specific order, no deviation permitted
+- **Benefit**: Reliable, medically compliant patient information
+
+### **Creative Writing Workshop (Highly Intent):**
+
+- **Why**: Creative exploration, personalized inspiration, artistic expression
+- **Implementation**: Goal guidance, creative freedom, adaptive prompts
+- **Benefit**: Unique, personalized creative works
+
+### **Business Strategy (Balanced):**
+
+- **Why**: Professional expertise with adaptive application
+- **Implementation**: Structured framework with professional judgment
+- **Benefit**: Professional, consistent yet tailored business insights
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The Intent vs Prescriptive Spectrum is not about good vs. bad - it's about **appropriate design choices**. The best workflows make conscious decisions about where they fall on this spectrum based on their specific requirements, user needs, and risk considerations.
+
+**Key Success Factor**: Choose your spectrum position intentionally, implement it consistently, and align it with your specific use case requirements.

+# BMAD Continuable Step 01 Init Template
+
+This template provides the standard structure for step-01-init files that support workflow continuation. It includes logic to detect existing workflows and route to step-01b-continue.md for resumption.
+
+Use this template when creating workflows that generate output documents and might take multiple sessions to complete.
+
+
+
+---

+
+# Template References
+
+# This step doesn't use content templates, only the main template
+
+---
+
+# Step 1: Workflow Initialization
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ๐ CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- โ You are a [specific role, e.g., "business analyst" or "technical architect"]
+- โ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- โ You bring [your expertise], user brings [their expertise], and together we produce something better than we could on our own
+- โ Maintain collaborative [adjective] tone throughout
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus ONLY on initialization and setup
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to look ahead to future steps
+- ๐ฌ Handle initialization professionally
+- ๐ช DETECT existing workflow state and handle continuation properly
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Show analysis before taking any action
+- ๐พ Initialize document and update frontmatter
+- ๐ Set up frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1]` before loading next step
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to load next step until setup is complete
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Variables from workflow.md are available in memory
+- Previous context = what's in output document + frontmatter
+- Don't assume knowledge from other steps
+- Input document discovery happens in this step
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+To initialize the [workflow-type] workflow by detecting continuation state, creating the output document, and preparing for the first collaborative session.
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Check for Existing Workflow
+
+First, check if the output document already exists:
+
+- Look for file at `{output_folder}/[output-file-name]-{project_name}.md`
+- If exists, read the complete file including frontmatter
+- If not exists, this is a fresh workflow
+
+### 2. Handle Continuation (If Document Exists)
+
+If the document exists and has frontmatter with `stepsCompleted`:
+
+- **STOP here** and load `./step-01b-continue.md` immediately
+- Do not proceed with any initialization tasks
+- Let step-01b handle the continuation logic
+
+### 3. Handle Completed Workflow
+
+If the document exists AND all steps are marked complete in `stepsCompleted`:
+
+- Ask user: "I found an existing [workflow-output] from [date]. Would you like to:
+ 1. Create a new [workflow-output]
+ 2. Update/modify the existing [workflow-output]"
+- If option 1: Create new document with timestamp suffix
+- If option 2: Load step-01b-continue.md
+
+### 4. Fresh Workflow Setup (If No Document)
+
+If no document exists or no `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter:
+
+#### A. Input Document Discovery
+
+This workflow requires [describe input documents if any]:
+
+**[Document Type] Documents (Optional):**
+
+- Look for: `{output_folder}/*[pattern1]*.md`
+- Look for: `{output_folder}/*[pattern2]*.md`
+- If found, load completely and add to `inputDocuments` frontmatter
+
+#### B. Create Initial Document
+
+Copy the template from `{templateFile}` to `{output_folder}/[output-file-name]-{project_name}.md`
+
+Initialize frontmatter with:
+
+```yaml
+---
+stepsCompleted: [1]
+lastStep: 'init'
+inputDocuments: []
+date: [current date]
+user_name: { user_name }
+[additional workflow-specific fields]
+---
+```
+
+#### C. Show Welcome Message
+
+"[Welcome message appropriate for workflow type]
+
+Let's begin by [brief description of first activity]."
+
+## โ SUCCESS METRICS:
+
+- Document created from template (for fresh workflows)
+- Frontmatter initialized with step 1 marked complete
+- User welcomed to the process
+- Ready to proceed to step 2
+- OR continuation properly routed to step-01b-continue.md
+
+## โ FAILURE MODES TO AVOID:
+
+- Proceeding with step 2 without document initialization
+- Not checking for existing documents properly
+- Creating duplicate documents
+- Skipping welcome message
+- Not routing to step-01b-continue.md when needed
+
+### 5. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: **Proceeding to [next step description]...**
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- This is an initialization step with no user choices
+- Proceed directly to next step after setup
+- Use menu handling logic section below
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- After setup completion, immediately load, read entire file, then execute `{nextStepFile}` to begin [next step description]
+
+---
+
+## ๐จ SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### โ SUCCESS:
+
+- Document created from template (for fresh workflows)
+- update frontmatter `stepsCompleted` to add 1 at the end of the array before loading next step
+- Frontmatter initialized with `stepsCompleted: [1]`
+- User welcomed to the process
+- Ready to proceed to step 2
+- OR existing workflow properly routed to step-01b-continue.md
+
+### โ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Proceeding with step 2 without document initialization
+- Not checking for existing documents properly
+- Creating duplicate documents
+- Skipping welcome message
+- Not routing to step-01b-continue.md when appropriate
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN initialization setup is complete and document is created (OR continuation is properly routed), will you then immediately load, read entire file, then execute `{nextStepFile}` to begin [next step description].
+
+
+
+## Customization Guidelines
+
+When adapting this template for your specific workflow:
+
+### 1. Update Placeholders
+
+Replace bracketed placeholders with your specific values:
+
+- `[workflow-type]` - e.g., "nutrition planning", "project requirements"
+- `[module-path]` - e.g., "bmb/reference" or "custom"
+- `[workflow-name]` - your workflow directory name
+- `[output-file-name]` - base name for output document
+- `[step-name]` - name for step 2 (e.g., "gather", "profile")
+- `[main-template]` - name of your main template file
+- `[workflow-output]` - what the workflow produces
+- `[Document Type]` - type of input documents (if any)
+- `[pattern1]`, `[pattern2]` - search patterns for input documents
+- `[additional workflow-specific fields]` - any extra frontmatter fields needed
+
+### 2. Customize Welcome Message
+
+Adapt the welcome message in section 4C to match your workflow's tone and purpose.
+
+### 3. Update Success Metrics
+
+Ensure success metrics reflect your specific workflow requirements.
+
+### 4. Adjust Next Step References
+
+Update `{nextStepFile}` to point to your actual step 2 file.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+1. **This step MUST include continuation detection logic** - this is the key pattern
+2. **Always include `continueFile` reference** in frontmatter
+3. **Proper frontmatter initialization** is critical for continuation tracking
+4. **Auto-proceed pattern** - this step should not have user choice menus (except for completed workflow handling)
+5. **Template-based document creation** - ensures consistent output structure
+
+## Integration with step-01b-continue.md
+
+This template is designed to work seamlessly with the step-01b-template.md continuation step. The two steps together provide a complete pause/resume workflow capability.

+- โ You bring [your expertise], user brings [their expertise], and together we produce something better than we could on our own
+- โ Maintain collaborative [adjective] tone throughout
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus ONLY on analyzing and resuming workflow state
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to modify content completed in previous steps
+- ๐ฌ Maintain continuity with previous sessions
+- ๐ช DETECT exact continuation point from frontmatter of incomplete file {outputFile}
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Show your analysis of current state before taking action
+- ๐พ Keep existing frontmatter `stepsCompleted` values intact
+- ๐ Review the template content already generated in {outputFile}
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to modify content that was completed in previous steps
+- ๐ Update frontmatter with continuation timestamp when resuming
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Current [output-file-name] document is already loaded
+- Previous context = complete template + existing frontmatter
+- [Key data collected] already gathered in previous sessions
+- Last completed step = last value in `stepsCompleted` array from frontmatter
+
+## CONTINUATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Analyze Current State
+
+Review the frontmatter of {outputFile} to understand:
+
+- `stepsCompleted`: Which steps are already done (the rightmost value is the last step completed)
+- `lastStep`: Name/description of last completed step (if exists)
+- `date`: Original workflow start date
+- `inputDocuments`: Any documents loaded during initialization
+- [Other relevant frontmatter fields]
+
+Example: If `stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4]`, then step 4 was the last completed step.
+
+### 2. Read All Completed Step Files
+
+For each step number in `stepsCompleted` array (excluding step 1, which is init):
+
+1. **Construct step filename**: `step-[N]-[name].md`
+2. **Read the complete step file** to understand:
+ - What that step accomplished
+ - What the next step should be (from nextStep references)
+ - Any specific context or decisions made
+
+Example: If `stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3]`:
+
+- Read `step-02-[name].md`
+- Read `step-03-[name].md`
+- The last file will tell you what step-04 should be
+
+### 3. Review Previous Output
+
+Read the complete {outputFile} to understand:
+
+- Content generated so far
+- Sections completed vs pending
+- User decisions and preferences
+- Current state of the deliverable
+
+### 4. Determine Next Step
+
+Based on the last completed step file:
+
+1. **Find the nextStep reference** in the last completed step file
+2. **Validate the file exists** at the referenced path
+3. **Confirm the workflow is incomplete** (not all steps finished)
+
+### 5. Welcome Back Dialog
+
+Present a warm, context-aware welcome:
+
+"Welcome back! I see we've completed [X] steps of your [workflow-type].
+
+We last worked on [brief description of last step].
+
+Based on our progress, we're ready to continue with [next step description].
+
+Are you ready to continue where we left off?"
+
+### 6. Validate Continuation Intent
+
+Ask confirmation questions if needed:
+
+"Has anything changed since our last session that might affect our approach?"
+"Are you still aligned with the goals and decisions we made earlier?"
+"Would you like to review what we've accomplished so far?"
+
+### 7. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**Resuming workflow - Select an Option:** [C] Continue to [Next Step Name]"
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+- Update frontmatter with continuation timestamp when 'C' is selected
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF C:
+ 1. Update frontmatter: add `lastContinued: [current date]`
+ 2. Load, read entire file, then execute the appropriate next step file (determined in section 4)
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#7-present-menu-options)
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN C is selected and continuation analysis is complete, will you then:
+
+1. Update frontmatter in {outputFile} with continuation timestamp
+2. Load, read entire file, then execute the next step file determined from the analysis
+
+Do NOT modify any other content in the output document during this continuation step.
+
+## ๐จ SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### โ SUCCESS:
+
+- Correctly identified last completed step from `stepsCompleted` array
+- Read and understood all previous step contexts
+- User confirmed readiness to continue
+- Frontmatter updated with continuation timestamp
+- Workflow resumed at appropriate next step
+
+### โ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Skipping analysis of existing state
+- Modifying content from previous steps
+- Loading wrong next step file
+- Not updating frontmatter with continuation info
+- Proceeding without user confirmation
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
+
+
+
+## Customization Guidelines
+
+When adapting this template for your specific workflow:
+
+### 1. Update Placeholders
+
+Replace bracketed placeholders with your specific values:
+
+- `[module-path]` - e.g., "bmb/reference" or "custom"
+- `[workflow-name]` - your workflow directory name
+- `[workflow-type]` - e.g., "nutrition planning", "project requirements"
+- `[output-file-name]` - base name for output document
+- `[specific role]` - the role this workflow plays
+- `[your expertise]` - what expertise you bring
+- `[their expertise]` - what expertise user brings
+
+### 2. Add Workflow-Specific Context
+
+Add any workflow-specific fields to section 1 (Analyze Current State) if your workflow uses additional frontmatter fields for tracking.
+
+### 3. Customize Welcome Message
+
+Adapt the welcome dialog in section 5 to match your workflow's tone and context.
+
+### 4. Add Continuation-Specific Validations
+
+If your workflow has specific checkpoints or validation requirements, add them to section 6.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+1. **This step should NEVER modify the output content** - only analyze and prepare for continuation
+2. **Always preserve the `stepsCompleted` array** - don't modify it in this step
+3. **Timestamp tracking** - helps users understand when workflows were resumed
+4. **Context preservation** - the key is maintaining all previous work and decisions
+5. **Seamless experience** - user should feel like they never left the workflow

+
+# Step [N]: [Step Name]
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+[State the goal in context of the overall workflow goal. Be specific about what this step accomplishes and how it contributes to the workflow's purpose.]
+
+Example: "To analyze user requirements and document functional specifications that will guide the development process"
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ๐ CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- โ You are a [specific role, e.g., "business analyst" or "technical architect"]
+- โ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and identity, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- โ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- โ You bring [your expertise], user brings [their expertise], and together we produce something better than we could on our own
+- โ Maintain collaborative [adjective] tone throughout
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus only on [specific task for this step]
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to [what not to do in this step]
+- ๐ฌ Approach: [how to handle this specific task]
+- ๐ Additional rule relevant to this step
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ [Step-specific protocol 1]
+- ๐พ [Step-specific protocol 2 - e.g., document updates]
+- ๐ [Step-specific protocol 3 - e.g., tracking requirements]
+- ๐ซ [Step-specific restriction]
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: [what context is available from previous steps]
+- Focus: [what this step should concentrate on]
+- Limits: [what not to assume or do]
+- Dependencies: [what this step depends on]
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+[Detailed instructions for the step's work]
+
+### 1. Title
+
+[Specific instructions for first part of the work]
+
+### 2. Title
+
+[Specific instructions for second part of the work]
+
+### N. Title (as many as needed)
+
+
+
+
+### N. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask} # Or custom action
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow} # Or custom action
+- IF C: Save content to {outputFile}, update frontmatter, then only then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#n-present-menu-options)
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution completes, redisplay the menu
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond when conversation ends, redisplay the menu
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+[Specific conditions for completing this step and transitioning to the next, such as output to file being created with this tasks updates]
+
+ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [completion requirements], will you then load and read fully `[installed_path]/step-[next-number]-[name].md` to execute and begin [next step description].
+
+## ๐จ SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### โ SUCCESS:
+
+- [Step-specific success criteria 1]
+- [Step-specific success criteria 2]
+- Content properly saved/document updated
+- Menu presented and user input handled correctly
+- [General success criteria]
+
+### โ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- [Step-specific failure mode 1]
+- [Step-specific failure mode 2]
+- Proceeding without user input/selection
+- Not updating required documents/frontmatter
+- [Step-specific failure mode N]
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
+
+
+
+## Common Menu Patterns to use in the final sequence item in a step file.
+
+FYI Again - party mode is useful for the user to reach out and get opinions from other agents.
+
+Advanced elicitation is use to direct you to think of alternative outputs of a sequence you just performed.
+
+### Standard Menu - when a sequence in a step results in content produced by the agent or human that could be improved before proceeding.
+
+```markdown
+### N. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] [Advanced Elicitation] [P] Party Mode [C] Continue"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}
+- IF C: Save content to {outputFile}, update frontmatter, then only then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#n-present-menu-options)
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+```
+
+### Optional Menu - Auto-Proceed Menu (No User Choice or confirm, just flow right to the next step once completed)
+
+```markdown
+### N. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**Proceeding to [next action]...**"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- After [completion condition], immediately load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- This is an [auto-proceed reason] step with no user choices
+- Proceed directly to next step after setup
+```
+
+### Custom Menu Options
+
+```markdown
+### N. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] [Custom Action 1] [B] [Custom Action 2] [C] Continue"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: [Custom handler route for option A]
+- IF B: [Custom handler route for option B]
+- IF C: Save content to {outputFile}, update frontmatter, then only then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#n-present-menu-options)
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+```
+
+### Conditional Menu (Based on Workflow State)
+
+```markdown
+### N. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] [Continue to Step Foo] [A] [Continue to Step Bar]"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: Execute {customAction}
+- IF C: Save content to {outputFile}, update frontmatter, check [condition]:
+ - IF [condition true]: load, read entire file, then execute {pathA}
+ - IF [condition false]: load, read entire file, then execute {pathB}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#n-present-menu-options)
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+```
+
+## Example Step Implementations
+
+### Initialization Step Example
+
+See [step-01-init.md](../reference/workflows/meal-prep-nutrition/steps/step-01-init.md) for an example of:
+
+- Detecting existing workflow state and short circuit to 1b
+- Creating output documents from templates
+- Auto-proceeding to the next step (this is not the normal behavior of most steps)
+- Handling continuation scenarios
+
+### Continuation Step Example
+
+See [step-01b-continue.md](../reference/workflows/meal-prep-nutrition/steps/step-01b-continue.md) for an example of:
+
+- Handling already-in-progress workflows
+- Detecting completion status
+- Presenting update vs new plan options
+- Seamless workflow resumption
+
+### Standard Step with Menu Example
+
+See [step-02-profile.md](../reference/workflows/meal-prep-nutrition/steps/step-02-profile.md) for an example of:
+
+- Presenting a menu with A/P/C options
+- Forcing halt until user selects 'C' (Continue)
+- Writing all collected content to output file only when 'C' is selected
+- Updating frontmatter with step completion before proceeding
+- Using frontmatter variables for file references
+
+### Final Step Example
+
+See [step-06-prep-schedule.md](../reference/workflows/meal-prep-nutrition/steps/step-06-prep-schedule.md) for an example of:
+
+- Completing workflow deliverables
+- Marking workflow as complete in frontmatter
+- Providing final success messages
+- Ending the workflow session gracefully
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Keep step files focused** - Each step should do one thing well
+2. **Be explicit in instructions** - No ambiguity about what to do
+3. **Include all critical rules** - Don't assume anything from other steps
+4. **Use clear, concise language** - Avoid jargon unless necessary
+5. **Ensure all menu paths have handlers** - Ensure every option has clear instructions - use menu items that make sense for the situation.
+6. **Document dependencies** - Clearly state what this step needs with full paths in front matter
+7. **Define success and failure clearly** - Both for the step and the workflow
+8. **Mark completion clearly** - Ensure final steps update frontmatter to indicate workflow completion

+# BMAD Workflow Template
+
+This template provides the standard structure for all BMAD workflow files. Copy and modify this template for each new workflow you create.
+
+
+
+---
+
+name: [WORKFLOW_DISPLAY_NAME]
+description: [Brief description of what this workflow accomplishes]
+web_bundle: [true/false] # Set to true for inclusion in web bundle builds
+
+---
+
+# [WORKFLOW_DISPLAY_NAME]
+
+**Goal:** [State the primary goal of this workflow in one clear sentence]
+
+**Your Role:** In addition to your name, communication_style, and persona, you are also a [role] collaborating with [user type]. This is a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship. You bring [your expertise], while the user brings [their expertise]. Work together as equals.
+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+### Core Principles
+
+- **Micro-file Design**: Each step of the overall goal is a self contained instruction file that you will adhere too 1 file as directed at a time
+- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only 1 current step file will be loaded, read, and executed to completion - never load future step files until told to do so
+- **Sequential Enforcement**: Sequence within the step files must be completed in order, no skipping or optimization allowed
+- **State Tracking**: Document progress in output file frontmatter using `stepsCompleted` array when a workflow produces a document
+- **Append-Only Building**: Build documents by appending content as directed to the output file
+
+### Step Processing Rules
+
+1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
+2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute all numbered sections in order, never deviate
+3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
+4. **CHECK CONTINUATION**: If the step has a menu with Continue as an option, only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
+5. **SAVE STATE**: Update `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter before loading next step
+6. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, load, read entire file, then execute the next step file
+
+### Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
+
+- ๐ **NEVER** load multiple step files simultaneously
+- ๐ **ALWAYS** read entire step file before execution
+- ๐ซ **NEVER** skip steps or optimize the sequence
+- ๐พ **ALWAYS** update frontmatter of output files when writing the final output for a specific step
+- ๐ฏ **ALWAYS** follow the exact instructions in the step file
+- โธ๏ธ **ALWAYS** halt at menus and wait for user input
+- ๐ **NEVER** create mental todo lists from future steps
+
+---
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
+
+### 1. Module Configuration Loading
+
+Load and read full config from {project-root}/{_bmad_folder_}/[MODULE FOLDER]/config.yaml and resolve:
+
+- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `user_name`, `communication_language`, `document_output_language`, [MODULE VARS]
+
+### 2. First Step EXECUTION
+
+Load, read the full file and then execute [FIRST STEP FILE PATH] to begin the workflow.
+
+
+
+## How to Use This Template
+
+### Step 1: Copy and Replace Placeholders
+
+Copy the template above and replace:
+
+- `[WORKFLOW_DISPLAY_NAME]` โ Your workflow's display name
+- `[MODULE FOLDER]` โ Default is `core` unless this is for another module (such as bmm, cis, or another as directed by user)
+- `[Brief description]` โ One-sentence description
+- `[true/false]` โ Whether to include in web bundle
+- `[role]` โ AI's role in this workflow
+- `[user type]` โ Who the user is
+- `[CONFIG_PATH]` โ Path to config file (usually `bmm/config.yaml` or `bmb/config.yaml`)
+- `[WORKFLOW_PATH]` โ Path to your workflow folder
+- `[MODULE VARS]` โ Extra config variables available in a module configuration that the workflow would need to use
+
+### Step 2: Create the Folder Structure
+
+```
+[workflow-folder]/
+โโโ workflow.md # This file
+โโโ data/ # (Optional csv or other data files)
+โโโ templates/ # template files for output
+โโโ steps/
+ โโโ step-01-init.md
+ โโโ step-02-[name].md
+ โโโ ...
+
+```
+
+### Step 3: Configure the Initialization Path
+
+Update the last line of the workflow.md being created to replace [FIRST STEP FILE PATH] with the path to the actual first step file.
+
+Example: Load, read the full file and then execute `{workflow_path}/steps/step-01-init.md` to begin the workflow.
+
+### NOTE: You can View a real example of a perfect workflow.md file that was created from this template
+
+`{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/reference/workflows/meal-prep-nutrition/workflow.md`

+# BMAD Workflow Terms
+
+## Core Components
+
+### BMAD Workflow
+
+A facilitated, guided process where the AI acts as a facilitator working collaboratively with a human. Workflows can serve any purpose - from document creation to brainstorming, technical implementation, or decision-making. The human may be a collaborative partner, beginner seeking guidance, or someone who wants the AI to execute specific tasks. Each workflow is self-contained and follows a disciplined execution model.
+
+### workflow.md
+
+The master control file that defines:
+
+- Workflow metadata (name, description, version)
+- Step sequence and file paths
+- Required data files and dependencies
+- Execution rules and protocols
+
+### Step File
+
+An individual markdown file containing:
+
+- One discrete step of the workflow
+- All rules and context needed for that step
+- Execution guardrails and validation criteria
+- Content generation guidance
+
+### step-01-init.md
+
+The first step file that:
+
+- Initializes the workflow
+- Sets up document frontmatter
+- Establishes initial context
+- Defines workflow parameters
+
+### step-01b-continue.md
+
+A continuation step file that:
+
+- Resumes a workflow that was paused
+- Reloads context from saved state
+- Validates current document state
+- Continues from the last completed step
+
+### CSV Data Files
+
+Structured data files that provide:
+
+- Domain-specific knowledge and complexity mappings
+- Project-type-specific requirements
+- Decision matrices and lookup tables
+- Dynamic workflow behavior based on input
+
+## Dialog Styles
+
+### Prescriptive Dialog
+
+Structured interaction with:
+
+- Exact questions and specific options
+- Consistent format across all executions
+- Finite, well-defined choices
+- High reliability and repeatability
+
+### Intent-Based Dialog
+
+Adaptive interaction with:
+
+- Goals and principles instead of scripts
+- Open-ended exploration and discovery
+- Context-aware question adaptation
+- Flexible, conversational flow
+
+### Template
+
+A markdown file that:
+
+- Starts with frontmatter (metadata)
+- Has content built through append-only operations
+- Contains no placeholder tags
+- Grows progressively as the workflow executes
+- Used when the workflow produces a document output
+
+## Execution Concepts
+
+### JIT Step Loading
+
+Just-In-Time step loading ensures:
+
+- Only the current step file is in memory
+- Complete focus on the step being executed
+- Minimal context to prevent information leakage
+- Sequential progression through workflow steps
+
+---
+
+_These terms form the foundation of the BMAD workflow system._

+---
+
+# Step 1: Workflow Initialization
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ๐ CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- โ You are a nutrition expert and meal planning specialist
+- โ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- โ You bring nutritional expertise and structured planning, user brings their personal preferences and lifestyle constraints
+- โ Together we produce something better than the sum of our own parts
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus ONLY on initialization and setup
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to look ahead to future steps
+- ๐ฌ Handle initialization professionally
+- ๐ช DETECT existing workflow state and handle continuation properly
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Show analysis before taking any action
+- ๐พ Initialize document and update frontmatter
+- ๐ Set up frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1]` before loading next step
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to load next step until setup is complete
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Variables from workflow.md are available in memory
+- Previous context = what's in output document + frontmatter
+- Don't assume knowledge from other steps
+- Input document discovery happens in this step
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+To initialize the Nutrition Plan workflow by detecting continuation state, creating the output document, and preparing for the first collaborative session.
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Check for Existing Workflow
+
+First, check if the output document already exists:
+
+- Look for file at `{output_folder}/nutrition-plan-{project_name}.md`
+- If exists, read the complete file including frontmatter
+- If not exists, this is a fresh workflow
+
+### 2. Handle Continuation (If Document Exists)
+
+If the document exists and has frontmatter with `stepsCompleted`:
+
+- **STOP here** and load `./step-01b-continue.md` immediately
+- Do not proceed with any initialization tasks
+- Let step-01b handle the continuation logic
+
+### 3. Handle Completed Workflow
+
+If the document exists AND all steps are marked complete in `stepsCompleted`:
+
+- Ask user: "I found an existing nutrition plan from [date]. Would you like to:
+ 1. Create a new nutrition plan
+ 2. Update/modify the existing plan"
+- If option 1: Create new document with timestamp suffix
+- If option 2: Load step-01b-continue.md
+
+### 4. Fresh Workflow Setup (If No Document)
+
+If no document exists or no `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter:
+
+#### A. Input Document Discovery
+
+This workflow doesn't require input documents, but check for:
+**Existing Health Information (Optional):**
+
+- Look for: `{output_folder}/*health*.md`
+- Look for: `{output_folder}/*goals*.md`
+- If found, load completely and add to `inputDocuments` frontmatter
+
+#### B. Create Initial Document
+
+Copy the template from `{template_path}` to `{output_folder}/nutrition-plan-{project_name}.md`
+
+Initialize frontmatter with:
+
+```yaml
+---
+stepsCompleted: [1]
+lastStep: 'init'
+inputDocuments: []
+date: [current date]
+user_name: { user_name }
+---
+```
+
+#### C. Show Welcome Message
+
+"Welcome to your personalized nutrition planning journey! I'm excited to work with you to create a meal plan that fits your lifestyle, preferences, and health goals.
+
+Let's begin by getting to know you and your nutrition goals."
+
+## โ SUCCESS METRICS:
+
+- Document created from template
+- Frontmatter initialized with step 1 marked complete
+- User welcomed to the process
+- Ready to proceed to step 2
+
+## โ FAILURE MODES TO AVOID:
+
+- Proceeding with step 2 without document initialization
+- Not checking for existing documents properly
+- Creating duplicate documents
+- Skipping welcome message
+
+### 7. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: **Proceeding to user profile collection...**
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- This is an initialization step with no user choices
+- Proceed directly to next step after setup
+- Use menu handling logic section below
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- After setup completion, immediately load, read entire file, then execute `{workflow_path}/step-02-profile.md` to begin user profile collection
+
+---
+
+## ๐จ SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### โ SUCCESS:
+
+- Document created from template
+- update frontmatter `stepsCompleted` to add 4 at the end of the array before loading next step
+- Frontmatter initialized with `stepsCompleted: [1]`
+- User welcomed to the process
+- Ready to proceed to step 2
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN initialization setup is complete and document is created, will you then immediately load, read entire file, then execute `{workflow_path}/step-02-profile.md` to begin user profile collection.
+
+### โ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Proceeding with step 2 without document initialization
+- Not checking for existing documents properly
+- Creating duplicate documents
+- Skipping welcome message
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.

+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+To resume the nutrition planning workflow from where it was left off, ensuring smooth continuation without loss of context.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action

+- โ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- โ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- โ You bring nutritional expertise and structured planning, user brings their personal preferences and lifestyle constraints
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus ONLY on analyzing and resuming workflow state
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to modify content during this step
+- ๐ฌ Maintain continuity with previous sessions
+- ๐ช DETECT exact continuation point from frontmatter of incomplete file {outputFile}
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Show your analysis of current state before taking action
+- ๐พ Keep existing frontmatter `stepsCompleted` values
+- ๐ Review the template content already generated
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to modify content completed in previous steps
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Current nutrition-plan.md document is already loaded
+- Previous context = complete template + existing frontmatter
+- User profile already collected in previous sessions
+- Last completed step = `lastStep` value from frontmatter
+
+## CONTINUATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Analyze Current State
+
+Review the frontmatter of {outputFile} to understand:
+
+- `stepsCompleted`: Which steps are already done, the rightmost value of the array is the last step completed. For example stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3] would mean that steps 1, then 2, and then 3 were finished.
+
+### 2. Read the full step of every completed step
+
+- read each step file that corresponds to the stepsCompleted > 1.
+
+EXAMPLE: In the example `stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3]` your would find the step 2 file by file name (step-02-profile.md) and step 3 file (step-03-assessment.md). the last file in the array is the last one completed, so you will follow the instruction to know what the next step to start processing is. reading that file would for example show that the next file is `steps/step-04-strategy.md`.
+
+### 3. Review the output completed previously
+
+In addition to reading ONLY each step file that was completed, you will then read the {outputFile} to further understand what is done so far.
+
+### 4. Welcome Back Dialog
+
+"Welcome back! I see we've completed [X] steps of your nutrition plan. We last worked on [brief description]. Are you ready to continue with [next step]?"
+
+### 5. Resumption Protocols
+
+- Briefly summarize progress made
+- Confirm any changes since last session
+- Validate that user is still aligned with goals
+
+### 6. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: **Resuming workflow - Select an Option:** [C] Continue
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+- Use menu handling logic section below
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF C: follow the suggestion of the last completed step reviewed to continue as it suggested
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#5-present-menu-options)
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN C is selected and continuation analysis is complete, will you then update frontmatter and load, read entire file, then execute the appropriate next step file.
+
+## ๐จ SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### โ SUCCESS:
+
+- Correctly identified last completed step
+- User confirmed readiness to continue
+- Frontmatter updated with continuation date
+- Workflow resumed at appropriate step
+
+### โ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Skipping analysis of existing state
+- Modifying content from previous steps

+# Step 4: Meal Strategy Creation
+
+## ๐ฏ Objective
+
+Design a personalized meal strategy that meets nutritional needs, fits lifestyle, and accommodates restrictions.
+
+## ๐ MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+- ๐ NEVER suggest meals without considering ALL user restrictions
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Reference recipe-database.csv for meal ideas
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Ensure macro distribution meets calculated targets
+- โ Start with familiar foods, introduce variety gradually
+- ๐ซ DO NOT create a plan that requires advanced cooking skills if user is beginner
+
+### 1. Meal Structure Framework
+
+Based on user profile:
+
+- **Meal frequency** (3 meals/day + snacks, intermittent fasting, etc.)
+- **Portion sizing** based on goals and activity
+- **Meal timing** aligned with daily schedule
+- **Prep method** (batch cooking, daily prep, hybrid)
+
+### 2. Food Categories Allocation
+
+Ensure each meal includes:
+
+- **Protein source** (lean meats, fish, plant-based options)
+- **Complex carbohydrates** (whole grains, starchy vegetables)
+- **Healthy fats** (avocado, nuts, olive oil)
+- **Vegetables/Fruits** (5+ servings daily)
+- **Hydration** (water intake plan)
+
+### 3. Weekly Meal Framework
+
+Create pattern that can be repeated:
+
+```
+Monday: Protein + Complex Carb + Vegetables
+Tuesday: ...
+Wednesday: ...
+```
+
+- Rotate protein sources for variety
+- Incorporate favorite cuisines
+- Include one "flexible" meal per week
+- Plan for leftovers strategically
+
+## ๐ REFERENCE DATABASE:
+
+Load recipe-database.csv for:
+
+- Quick meal ideas (<15 min)
+- Batch prep friendly recipes
+- Restriction-specific options
+- Macro-friendly alternatives
+
+## ๐ฏ PERSONALIZATION FACTORS:
+
+### For Beginners:
+
+- Simple 3-ingredient meals
+- One-pan/one-pot recipes
+- Prep-ahead breakfast options
+- Healthy convenience meals
+
+### For Busy Schedules:
+
+- 30-minute or less meals
+- Grab-and-go options
+- Minimal prep breakfasts
+- Slow cooker/air fryer options
+
+### For Budget Conscious:
+
+- Bulk buying strategies
+- Seasonal produce focus
+- Protein budgeting
+- Minimize food waste
+
+## โ SUCCESS METRICS:
+
+- All nutritional targets met
+- Realistic for user's cooking skill level
+- Fits within time constraints
+- Respects budget limitations
+- Includes enjoyable foods
+
+## โ FAILURE MODES TO AVOID:
+
+- Too complex for cooking skill level
+- Requires expensive specialty ingredients
+- Too much time required
+- Boring/repetitive meals
+- Doesn't account for eating out/social events
+
+## ๐ฌ SAMPLE DIALOG STYLE:
+
+**โ GOOD (Intent-based):**
+"Looking at your goals and love for Mediterranean flavors, we could create a weekly rotation featuring grilled chicken, fish, and plant proteins. How does a structure like: Meatless Monday, Taco Tuesday, Mediterranean Wednesday sound to you?"
+
+**โ AVOID (Prescriptive):**
+"Monday: 4oz chicken breast, 1 cup brown rice, 2 cups broccoli. Tuesday: 4oz salmon..."
+

+
+## ๐ฏ Objective
+
+Create a realistic meal prep schedule that fits the user's lifestyle and ensures success.

+### 2. Prep Strategy Options
+
+#### Option A: Sunday Batch Prep (2-3 hours)
+
+- Prep all proteins for week
+- Chop all vegetables
+- Cook grains in bulk
+- Portion snacks
+
+#### Option B: Semi-Weekly Prep (1-1.5 hours x 2)
+
+- Sunday: Proteins + grains
+- Wednesday: Refresh veggies + prep second half
+
+#### Option C: Daily Prep (15-20 minutes daily)
+
+- Prep next day's lunch
+- Quick breakfast assembly
+- Dinner prep each evening
+
+### 3. Detailed Timeline Breakdown
+
+```
+Sunday (2 hours):
+2:00-2:30: Preheat oven, marinate proteins
+2:30-3:15: Cook proteins (bake chicken, cook ground turkey)
+3:15-3:45: Cook grains (rice, quinoa)
+3:45-4:00: Chop vegetables and portion snacks
+4:00-4:15: Clean and organize refrigerator
+```
+

+name: Meal Prep & Nutrition Plan
+description: Creates personalized meal plans through collaborative nutrition planning between an expert facilitator and individual seeking to improve their nutrition habits.
+web_bundle: true
+---
+
+# Meal Prep & Nutrition Plan Workflow
+
+**Goal:** Create personalized meal plans through collaborative nutrition planning between an expert facilitator and individual seeking to improve their nutrition habits.
+
+**Your Role:** In addition to your name, communication_style, and persona, you are also a nutrition expert and meal planning specialist working collaboratively with the user. We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response, where you bring nutritional expertise and structured planning, while the user brings their personal preferences, lifestyle constraints, and health goals. Work together to create a sustainable, enjoyable nutrition plan.
+
+---
+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+This uses **step-file architecture** for disciplined execution:
+
+### Core Principles
+
+- **Micro-file Design**: Each step is a self contained instruction file that is a part of an overall workflow that must be followed exactly
+- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only the current step file is in memory - never load future step files until told to do so
+- **Sequential Enforcement**: Sequence within the step files must be completed in order, no skipping or optimization allowed
+- **State Tracking**: Document progress in output file frontmatter using `stepsCompleted` array when a workflow produces a document
+- **Append-Only Building**: Build documents by appending content as directed to the output file
+
+### Step Processing Rules
+
+1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
+2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute all numbered sections in order, never deviate
+3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
+4. **CHECK CONTINUATION**: If the step has a menu with Continue as an option, only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
+5. **SAVE STATE**: Update `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter before loading next step
+6. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, load, read entire file, then execute the next step file
+
+### Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
+
+- ๐ **NEVER** load multiple step files simultaneously
+- ๐ **ALWAYS** read entire step file before execution
+- ๐ซ **NEVER** skip steps or optimize the sequence
+- ๐พ **ALWAYS** update frontmatter of output files when writing the final output for a specific step
+- ๐ฏ **ALWAYS** follow the exact instructions in the step file
+- โธ๏ธ **ALWAYS** halt at menus and wait for user input
+- ๐ **NEVER** create mental todo lists from future steps
+
+---
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
+
+### 1. Configuration Loading
+
+Load and read full config from {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/config.yaml and resolve:
+
+- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `user_name`, `communication_language`, `document_output_language`
+
+### 2. First Step EXECUTION
+
+Load, read the full file and then execute `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/reference/workflows/meal-prep-nutrition/steps/step-01-init.md` to begin the workflow.

-# Audit Workflow - Validation Checklist
-
-## Structure
-
-- [ ] workflow.yaml file loads without YAML syntax errors
-- [ ] instructions.md file exists and is properly formatted
-- [ ] template.md file exists (if document workflow) with valid markdown
-- [ ] All critical headers present in instructions (workflow engine reference, workflow.yaml reference)
-- [ ] Workflow type correctly identified (document/action/interactive/autonomous/meta)
-- [ ] All referenced files actually exist at specified paths
-- [ ] No placeholder text remains (like {TITLE}, {WORKFLOW_CODE}, TODO, etc.)
-
-## Standard Config Block
-
-- [ ] workflow.yaml contains `config_source` pointing to correct module config
-- [ ] `output_folder` pulls from `{config_source}:output_folder`
-- [ ] `user_name` pulls from `{config_source}:user_name`
-- [ ] `communication_language` pulls from `{config_source}:communication_language`
-- [ ] `date` is set to `system-generated`
-- [ ] Config source uses {project-root} variable (not hardcoded path)
-- [ ] Standard config comment present: "Critical variables from config"
-
-## Config Variable Usage
-
-- [ ] Instructions communicate in {communication_language} where appropriate
-- [ ] Instructions address {user_name} in greetings or summaries where appropriate
-- [ ] All file outputs write to {output_folder} or subdirectories (no hardcoded paths)
-- [ ] Template includes {{user_name}} in metadata (optional for document workflows)
-- [ ] Template includes {{date}} in metadata (optional for document workflows)
-- [ ] Template does NOT use {{communication_language}} in headers (agent-only variable)
-- [ ] No hardcoded language-specific text that should use {communication_language}
-- [ ] Date used for agent date awareness (not confused with training cutoff)
-
-## YAML/Instruction/Template Alignment
-
-- [ ] Every workflow.yaml variable (excluding standard config) is used in instructions OR template
-- [ ] No unused yaml fields present (bloat removed)
-- [ ] No duplicate fields between top-level and web_bundle section
-- [ ] All template variables ({{variable}}) have corresponding yaml definitions OR tags
-- [ ] All tags have corresponding template variables (if document workflow)
-- [ ] Template variables use snake_case naming convention
-- [ ] Variable names are descriptive (not abbreviated like {{puj}} instead of {{primary_user_journey}})
-- [ ] No hardcoded values in instructions that should be yaml variables
-
-## Web Bundle Validation (if applicable)
-
-- [ ] web_bundle section present if workflow needs deployment
-- [ ] All paths in web_bundle use {bmad_folder}/-relative format (NOT {project-root})
-- [ ] No {config_source} variables in web_bundle section
-- [ ] instructions file listed in web_bundle_files array
-- [ ] template file listed in web_bundle_files (if document workflow)
-- [ ] validation/checklist file listed in web_bundle_files (if exists)
-- [ ] All data files (CSV, JSON, YAML) listed in web_bundle_files
-- [ ] All called workflows have their .yaml files in web_bundle_files
-- [ ] **CRITICAL**: If workflow invokes other workflows, existing_workflows field is present
-- [ ] existing_workflows maps workflow variables to {bmad_folder}/-relative paths correctly
-- [ ] All files referenced in instructions tags listed in web_bundle_files
-- [ ] No files listed in web_bundle_files that don't exist
-- [ ] Web bundle metadata (name, description, author) matches top-level metadata
-
-## Template Validation (if document workflow)
-
-- [ ] Template variables match tags in instructions exactly
-- [ ] All required sections present in template structure
-- [ ] Template uses {{variable}} syntax (double curly braces)
-- [ ] Template variables use snake_case (not camelCase or PascalCase)
-- [ ] Standard metadata header format correct (optional usage of {{date}}, {{user_name}})
-- [ ] No placeholders remain in template (like {SECTION_NAME})
-- [ ] Template structure matches document purpose
-
-## Instructions Quality
-
-- [ ] Each step has n="X" attribute with sequential numbering
-- [ ] Each step has goal="clear goal statement" attribute
-- [ ] Optional steps marked with optional="true"
-- [ ] Repeating steps have appropriate repeat attribute (repeat="3", repeat="for-each-X", repeat="until-approved")
-- [ ] Conditional steps have if="condition" attribute
-- [ ] XML tags used correctly (, , , , , )
-- [ ] No nested tag references in content (use "action tags" not " tags")
-- [ ] Tag references use descriptive text without angle brackets for clarity
-- [ ] No conditional execution antipattern (no self-closing tags)
-- [ ] Single conditionals use (inline)
-- [ ] Multiple conditionals use ... (wrapper block with closing tag)
-- [ ] Steps are focused (single goal per step)
-- [ ] Instructions are specific with limits ("Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about")
-- [ ] Examples provided where helpful
-- [ ] tags save checkpoints for document workflows
-- [ ] Flow control is logical and clear
-
-## Bloat Detection
-
-- [ ] Bloat percentage under 10% (unused yaml fields / total fields)
-- [ ] No commented-out variables that should be removed
-- [ ] No duplicate metadata between sections
-- [ ] No variables defined but never referenced
-- [ ] No redundant configuration that duplicates web_bundle

-# Audit Workflow - Workflow Quality Audit Instructions
-
-The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml
-You MUST have already loaded and processed: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/workflows/audit-workflow/workflow.yaml
-
-
-
-
- What is the path to the workflow you want to audit? (provide path to workflow.yaml or workflow folder)
-
- Load the workflow.yaml file from the provided path
- Identify the workflow type (document, action, interactive, autonomous, meta)
- List all associated files:
-
- - instructions.md (required for most workflows)
- - template.md (if document workflow)
- - checklist.md (if validation exists)
- - Any data files referenced in yaml
-
- Load all discovered files
-
- Display summary:
-
- - Workflow name and description
- - Type of workflow
- - Files present
- - Module assignment
-
-
-
-
- Check workflow.yaml for the standard config block:
-
- **Required variables:**
-
- - `config_source: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/[module]/config.yaml"`
- - `output_folder: "{config_source}:output_folder"`
- - `user_name: "{config_source}:user_name"`
- - `communication_language: "{config_source}:communication_language"`
- - `date: system-generated`
-
- Validate each variable:
-
- **Config Source Check:**
-
- - [ ] `config_source` is defined
- - [ ] Points to correct module config path
- - [ ] Uses {project-root} variable
-
- **Standard Variables Check:**
-
- - [ ] `output_folder` pulls from config_source
- - [ ] `user_name` pulls from config_source
- - [ ] `communication_language` pulls from config_source
- - [ ] `date` is set to system-generated
-
- Record any missing or incorrect config variables
- config_issues
-
- Add to issues list with severity: CRITICAL
-
-
-
-
- Extract all variables defined in workflow.yaml (excluding standard config block)
- Scan instructions.md for variable usage: {variable_name} pattern
- Scan template.md for variable usage: {{variable_name}} pattern (if exists)
-
- Cross-reference analysis:
-
- **For each yaml variable:**
-
- 1. Is it used in instructions.md? (mark as INSTRUCTION_USED)
- 2. Is it used in template.md? (mark as TEMPLATE_USED)
- 3. Is it neither? (mark as UNUSED_BLOAT)
-
- **Special cases to ignore:**
-
- - Standard config variables (config_source, output_folder, user_name, communication_language, date)
- - Workflow metadata (name, description, author)
- - Path variables (installed_path, template, instructions, validation)
- - Web bundle configuration (web_bundle block itself)
-
- Identify unused yaml fields (bloat)
- Identify hardcoded values in instructions that should be variables
- alignment_issues
-
- Add to issues list with severity: BLOAT
-
-
-
-
- Analyze instructions.md for proper config variable usage:
-
- **Communication Language Check:**
-
- - Search for phrases like "communicate in {communication_language}"
- - Check if greetings/responses use language-aware patterns
- - Verify NO usage of {{communication_language}} in template headers
-
- **User Name Check:**
-
- - Look for user addressing patterns using {user_name}
- - Check if summaries or greetings personalize with {user_name}
- - Verify optional usage in template metadata (not required)
-
- **Output Folder Check:**
-
- - Search for file write operations
- - Verify all outputs go to {output_folder} or subdirectories
- - Check for hardcoded paths like "/output/" or "/generated/"
-
- **Date Usage Check:**
-
- - Verify date is available for agent date awareness
- - Check optional usage in template metadata
- - Ensure no confusion between date and model training cutoff
-
- **Nested Tag Reference Check:**
-
- - Search for XML tag references within tags (e.g., `Scan for tags`)
- - Identify patterns like: ` tags`, ` calls`, `content` within content
- - Common problematic tags to check: action, ask, check, template-output, invoke-workflow, goto
- - Flag any instances where angle brackets appear in content describing tags
-
- **Best Practice:** Use descriptive text without brackets (e.g., "action tags" instead of " tags")
-
- **Rationale:**
-
- - Prevents XML parsing ambiguity
- - Improves readability for humans and LLMs
- - LLMs understand "action tags" = `` tags from context
-
- **Conditional Execution Antipattern Check:**
-
- - Scan for self-closing check tags: `condition text` (invalid antipattern)
- - Detect pattern: check tag on one line, followed by action/ask/goto tags (indicates incorrect nesting)
- - Flag sequences like: `If X:` followed by `do Y`
-
- **Correct Patterns:**
-
- - Single conditional: `Do something`
- - Multiple actions: `` followed by nested actions with closing `` tag
-
- **Antipattern Example (WRONG):**
- ```xml
- If condition met:
- Do something
- ```
-
- **Correct Example:**
- ```xml
-
- Do something
- Do something else
-
- ```
-
- **Or for single action:**
- ```xml
- Do something
- ```
-
- Scan instructions.md for nested tag references using pattern: <(action|ask|check|template-output|invoke-workflow|invoke-task|goto|step)> within text content
- Record any instances of nested tag references with line numbers
- Scan instructions.md for conditional execution antipattern: self-closing check tags
- Detect pattern: `<check>.*</check>` on single line (self-closing check)
- Record any antipattern instances with line numbers and suggest corrections
- Record any improper config variable usage
- config_usage_issues
-
- Add to issues list with severity: IMPORTANT
- Add to issues list with severity: CLARITY (recommend using descriptive text without angle brackets)
- Add to issues list with severity: CRITICAL (invalid XML structure - must use action if="" or proper check wrapper)
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Validate web_bundle structure:
-
- **Path Validation:**
-
- - [ ] All paths use {bmad_folder}/-relative format (NOT {project-root})
- - [ ] No {config_source} variables in web_bundle section
- - [ ] Paths match actual file locations
-
- **Completeness Check:**
-
- - [ ] instructions file listed in web_bundle_files
- - [ ] template file listed (if document workflow)
- - [ ] validation/checklist file listed (if exists)
- - [ ] All data files referenced in yaml listed
- - [ ] All files referenced in instructions listed
-
- **Workflow Dependency Scan:**
- Scan instructions.md for invoke-workflow tags
- Extract workflow paths from invocations
- Verify each called workflow.yaml is in web_bundle_files
- **CRITICAL**: Check if existing_workflows field is present when workflows are invoked
- If invoke-workflow calls exist, existing_workflows MUST map workflow variables to paths
- Example: If instructions use {core_brainstorming}, web_bundle needs: existing_workflows: - core_brainstorming: "{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml"
-
- **File Reference Scan:**
- Scan instructions.md for file references in action tags
- Check for CSV, JSON, YAML, MD files referenced
- Verify all referenced files are in web_bundle_files
-
- Record any missing files or incorrect paths
- web_bundle_issues
-
- Add to issues list with severity: CRITICAL
-
- Note: "No web_bundle configured (may be intentional for local-only workflows)"
-
-
-
-
-
- Identify bloat patterns:
-
- **Unused YAML Fields:**
-
- - Variables defined but not used in instructions OR template
- - Duplicate fields between top-level and web_bundle section
- - Commented-out variables that should be removed
-
- **Hardcoded Values:**
-
- - File paths that should use {output_folder}
- - Generic greetings that should use {user_name}
- - Language-specific text that should use {communication_language}
- - Static dates that should use {date}
-
- **Redundant Configuration:**
-
- - Variables that duplicate web_bundle fields
- - Metadata repeated across sections
-
- Calculate bloat metrics:
-
- - Total yaml fields: {{total_yaml_fields}}
- - Used fields: {{used_fields}}
- - Unused fields: {{unused_fields}}
- - Bloat percentage: {{bloat_percentage}}%
-
- Record all bloat items with recommendations
- bloat_items
-
- Add to issues list with severity: CLEANUP
-
-
-
-
- Extract all template variables from template.md: {{variable_name}} pattern
- Scan instructions.md for corresponding template-output tags
-
- Cross-reference mapping:
-
- **For each template variable:**
-
- 1. Is there a matching template-output tag? (mark as MAPPED)
- 2. Is it a standard config variable? (mark as CONFIG_VAR - optional)
- 3. Is it unmapped? (mark as MISSING_OUTPUT)
-
- **For each template-output tag:**
-
- 1. Is there a matching template variable? (mark as USED)
- 2. Is it orphaned? (mark as UNUSED_OUTPUT)
-
- Verify variable naming conventions:
-
- - [ ] All template variables use snake_case
- - [ ] Variable names are descriptive (not abbreviated)
- - [ ] Standard config variables properly formatted
-
- Record any mapping issues
- template_issues
-
- Add to issues list with severity: IMPORTANT
-
-

-# Convert Legacy Workflow
-
-## Overview
-
-The Convert Legacy workflow is a comprehensive migration tool that converts BMAD v4 items (agents, workflows, modules) to v6 compliant format with proper structure and conventions. It bridges the gap between legacy BMAD implementations and the modern v6 architecture, ensuring seamless migration while preserving functionality and improving structure.
-
-## Key Features
-
-- **Multi-Format Detection** - Automatically identifies v4 agents, workflows, tasks, templates, and modules
-- **Intelligent Conversion** - Smart mapping from v4 patterns to v6 equivalents with structural improvements
-- **Sub-Workflow Integration** - Leverages create-agent, create-workflow, and create-module workflows for quality output
-- **Structure Modernization** - Converts YAML-based agents to XML, templates to workflows, tasks to structured workflows
-- **Path Normalization** - Updates all references to use proper v6 path conventions
-- **Validation System** - Comprehensive validation of converted items before finalization
-- **Migration Reporting** - Detailed conversion reports with locations and manual adjustment notes
-
-## Usage
-
-### Basic Invocation
-
-```bash
-workflow convert-legacy
-```
-
-### With Legacy File Input
-
-```bash
-# Convert a specific v4 item
-workflow convert-legacy --input /path/to/legacy-agent.md
-```
-
-### With Legacy Module
-
-```bash
-# Convert an entire v4 module structure
-workflow convert-legacy --input /path/to/legacy-module/
-```
-
-### Configuration
-
-The workflow uses standard BMB configuration:
-
-- **output_folder**: Where converted items will be placed
-- **user_name**: Author information for converted items
-- **conversion_mappings**: v4-to-v6 pattern mappings (optional)
-
-## Workflow Structure
-
-### Files Included
-
-```
-convert-legacy/
-โโโ workflow.yaml # Configuration and metadata
-โโโ instructions.md # Step-by-step conversion guide
-โโโ checklist.md # Validation criteria
-โโโ README.md # This file
-```
-
-## Workflow Process
-
-### Phase 1: Legacy Analysis (Steps 1-3)
-
-**Item Identification and Loading**
-
-- Accepts file path or directory from user
-- Loads complete file/folder structure for analysis
-- Automatically detects item type based on content patterns:
- - **Agents**: Contains `` or `` XML tags
- - **Workflows**: Contains workflow YAML or instruction patterns
- - **Modules**: Contains multiple organized agents/workflows
- - **Tasks**: Contains `` XML tags
- - **Templates**: Contains YAML-based document generators
-
-**Legacy Structure Analysis**
-
-- Parses v4 structure and extracts key components
-- Maps v4 agent metadata (name, id, title, icon, persona)
-- Analyzes v4 template sections and elicitation patterns
-- Identifies task workflows and decision trees
-- Catalogs dependencies and file references
-
-**Target Module Selection**
-
-- Prompts for target module (bmm, bmb, cis, custom)
-- Determines proper installation paths using v6 conventions
-- Shows target location for user confirmation
-- Ensures all paths use `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/` format
-
-### Phase 2: Conversion Strategy (Step 4)
-
-**Strategy Selection Based on Item Type**
-
-- **Simple Agents**: Direct XML conversion with metadata mapping
-- **Complex Agents**: Workflow-assisted creation using create-agent
-- **Templates**: Template-to-workflow conversion with proper structure
-- **Tasks**: Task-to-workflow conversion with step mapping
-- **Modules**: Full module creation using create-module workflow
-
-**Workflow Type Determination**
-
-- Analyzes legacy items to determine v6 workflow type:
- - **Document Workflow**: Generates documents with templates
- - **Action Workflow**: Performs actions without output documents
- - **Interactive Workflow**: Guides user interaction sessions
- - **Meta-Workflow**: Coordinates other workflows
-
-### Phase 3: Conversion Execution (Steps 5a-5e)
-
-**Direct Agent Conversion (5a)**
-
-- Transforms v4 YAML agent format to v6 XML structure
-- Maps persona blocks (role, style, identity, principles)
-- Converts commands list to v6 `` format
-- Updates task references to workflow invocations
-- Normalizes all paths to v6 conventions
-
-**Workflow-Assisted Creation (5b-5e)**
-
-- Extracts key information from legacy items
-- Invokes appropriate sub-workflows:
- - `create-agent` for complex agent creation
- - `create-workflow` for template/task conversion
- - `create-module` for full module migration
-- Ensures proper v6 structure and conventions
-
-**Template-to-Workflow Conversion (5c)**
-
-- Converts YAML template sections to workflow steps
-- Maps `elicit: true` flags to `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml` tags
-- Transforms conditional sections to flow control
-- Creates proper template.md from content structure
-- Integrates v4 create-doc.md task patterns
-
-**Task-to-Workflow Conversion (5e)**
-
-- Analyzes task purpose to determine workflow type
-- Extracts step-by-step instructions to workflow steps
-- Converts decision trees to flow control tags
-- Maps 1-9 elicitation menus to v6 elicitation patterns
-- Preserves execution logic and critical notices
-
-### Phase 4: Validation and Finalization (Steps 6-8)
-
-**Comprehensive Validation**
-
-- Validates XML structure for agents
-- Checks YAML syntax for workflows
-- Verifies template variable consistency
-- Ensures proper file structure and naming
-
-**Migration Reporting**
-
-- Generates detailed conversion report
-- Documents original and new locations
-- Notes manual adjustments needed
-- Provides warnings and recommendations
-
-**Cleanup and Archival**
-
-- Optional archival of original v4 files
-- Final location confirmation
-- Post-conversion instructions and next steps
-
-## Output
-
-### Generated Files
-
-- **Converted Items**: Proper v6 format in target module locations
-- **Migration Report**: Detailed conversion documentation
-- **Validation Results**: Quality assurance confirmation
-
-### Output Structure
-
-Converted items follow v6 conventions:
-
-1. **Agents** - XML format with proper persona and command structure
-2. **Workflows** - Complete workflow folders with yaml, instructions, and templates
-3. **Modules** - Full module structure with installation infrastructure
-4. **Documentation** - Updated paths, references, and metadata
-
-## Requirements
-
-- **Legacy v4 Items** - Source files or directories to convert
-- **Target Module Access** - Write permissions to target module directories
-- **Sub-Workflow Availability** - create-agent, create-workflow, create-module workflows accessible
-- **Conversion Mappings** (optional) - v4-to-v6 pattern mappings for complex conversions
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Before Starting
-
-1. **Backup Legacy Items** - Create copies of original v4 files before conversion
-2. **Review Target Module** - Understand target module structure and conventions
-3. **Plan Module Organization** - Decide where converted items should logically fit
-
-### During Execution
-
-1. **Validate Item Type Detection** - Confirm automatic detection or correct manually
-2. **Choose Appropriate Strategy** - Use workflow-assisted creation for complex items
-3. **Review Path Mappings** - Ensure all references use proper v6 path conventions
-4. **Test Incrementally** - Convert simple items first to validate process
-
-### After Completion
-
-1. **Validate Converted Items** - Test agents and workflows for proper functionality
-2. **Review Migration Report** - Address any manual adjustments noted
-3. **Update Documentation** - Ensure README and documentation reflect changes
-4. **Archive Originals** - Store v4 files safely for reference if needed
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-**Issue**: Item type detection fails or incorrect
-
-- **Solution**: Manually specify item type when prompted
-- **Check**: Verify file structure matches expected v4 patterns
-
-**Issue**: Path conversion errors
-
-- **Solution**: Ensure all references use `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/` format
-- **Check**: Review conversion mappings for proper path patterns
-
-**Issue**: Sub-workflow invocation fails
-
-- **Solution**: Verify build workflows are available and accessible
-- **Check**: Ensure target module exists and has proper permissions
-
-**Issue**: XML or YAML syntax errors in output
-
-- **Solution**: Review conversion mappings and adjust patterns
-- **Check**: Validate converted files with appropriate parsers
-

-# Convert Legacy - v4 to v6 Conversion Instructions
-
-The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml
-
-Ask user for the path to the v4 item to convert (agent, workflow, or module)
-Load the complete file/folder structure
-Detect item type based on structure and content patterns:
- - Agent: Contains agent or prompt XML tags, single file
- - Workflow: Contains workflow YAML or instruction patterns, usually folder
- - Module: Contains multiple agents/workflows in organized structure
- - Task: Contains task XML tags
-Confirm detected type or allow user to correct: "Detected as [type]. Is this correct? (y/n)"
-
-
-
-Parse the v4 structure and extract key components:
-
-For v4 Agents (YAML-based in markdown):
-
-- Agent metadata (name, id, title, icon, whenToUse)
-- Persona block (role, style, identity, focus, core_principles)
-- Commands list with task/template references
-- Dependencies (tasks, templates, checklists, data files)
-- Activation instructions and workflow rules
-- IDE file resolution patterns
-
-For v4 Templates (YAML-based document generators):
-
-- Template metadata (id, name, version, output)
-- Workflow mode and elicitation settings
-- Sections hierarchy with:
- - Instructions for content generation
- - Elicit flags for user interaction
- - Templates with {{variables}}
- - Conditional sections
- - Repeatable sections
-
-For v4 Tasks (Markdown with execution instructions):
-
-- Critical execution notices
-- Step-by-step workflows
-- Elicitation requirements (1-9 menu format)
-- Processing flows and decision trees
-- Agent permission rules
-
-For Modules:
-
-- Module metadata
-- Component list (agents, workflows, tasks)
-- Dependencies
-- Installation requirements
-
-Create a conversion map of what needs to be transformed
-Map v4 patterns to v6 equivalents:
-
-- v4 Task + Template โ v6 Workflow (folder with workflow.yaml, instructions.md, template.md)
-- v4 Agent YAML โ v6 Agent YAML format
-- v4 Commands โ v6
-
-
-
-Which module should this belong to? (eg. bmm, bmb, cis, bmm-legacy, or custom)
-Enter custom module code (kebab-case):
-Determine installation path based on type and module
-IMPORTANT: All paths must use final BMAD installation locations, not src paths!
-Show user the target location: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{{target_module}}/{{item_type}}/{{item_name}}
-Note: Files will be created in {bmad_folder}/ but all internal paths will reference {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/ locations
-Proceed with this location? (y/n)
-
-
-
-Based on item type and complexity, choose approach:
-
-
-
- Use direct conversion to v6 agent YAML format
- Direct Agent Conversion
-
-
- Plan to invoke create-agent workflow
- Workflow-Assisted Agent Creation
-
-
-
-
- Analyze the v4 item to determine workflow type:
-
-- Does it generate a specific document type? โ Document workflow
-- Does it produce structured output files? โ Document workflow
-- Does it perform actions without output? โ Action workflow
-- Does it coordinate other tasks? โ Meta-workflow
-- Does it guide user interaction? โ Interactive workflow
-
-Based on analysis, this appears to be a {{detected_workflow_type}} workflow. Confirm or correct:
-
-1. Document workflow (generates documents with template)
-2. Action workflow (performs actions, no template)
-3. Interactive workflow (guided session)
-4. Meta-workflow (coordinates other workflows)
- Select 1-4:
-
-Template-to-Workflow Conversion
-Task-to-Workflow Conversion
-
-
-
- Plan to invoke create-module workflow
- Module Creation
-
-
-
-
-Transform v4 YAML agent to v6 YAML format:
-
-1. Convert agent metadata structure:
- - v4 `agent.name` โ v6 `agent.metadata.name`
- - v4 `agent.id` โ v6 `agent.metadata.id`
- - v4 `agent.title` โ v6 `agent.metadata.title`
- - v4 `agent.icon` โ v6 `agent.metadata.icon`
- - Add v6 `agent.metadata.module` field
-
-2. Transform persona structure:
- - v4 `persona.role` โ v6 `agent.persona.role` (keep as YAML string)
- - v4 `persona.style` โ v6 `agent.persona.communication_style`
- - v4 `persona.identity` โ v6 `agent.persona.identity`
- - v4 `persona.core_principles` โ v6 `agent.persona.principles` (as array)
-
-3. Convert commands to menu:
- - v4 `commands:` list โ v6 `agent.menu:` array
- - Each command becomes menu item with:
- - `trigger:` (without \* prefix - added at build)
- - `description:`
- - Handler attributes (`workflow:`, `exec:`, `action:`, etc.)
- - Map task references to workflow paths
- - Map template references to workflow invocations
-
-4. Add v6-specific sections (in YAML):
- - `agent.prompts:` array for inline prompts (if using action: "#id")
- - `agent.critical_actions:` array for startup requirements
- - `agent.activation_rules:` for universal agent rules
-
-5. Handle dependencies and paths:
- - Convert task dependencies to workflow references
- - Map template dependencies to v6 workflows
- - Preserve checklist and data file references
- - CRITICAL: All paths must use {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{{module}}/ NOT src/
-
-Generate the converted v6 agent YAML file (.agent.yaml)
-Example path conversions:
-
-- exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{{target_module}}/tasks/task-name.md"
-- run-workflow="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{{target_module}}/workflows/workflow-name/workflow.yaml"
-- data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{{target_module}}/data/data-file.yaml"
-
- Save to: {bmad_folder}/{{target_module}}/agents/{{agent_name}}.agent.yaml (physical location)
- Note: The build process will later compile this to .md with XML format
- Continue to Validation
-
-
-
-Extract key information from v4 agent:
-- Name and purpose
-- Commands and functionality
-- Persona traits
-- Any special behaviors
-
-
- workflow: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/workflows/create-agent/workflow.yaml
- inputs:
- - agent_name: {{extracted_name}}
- - agent_purpose: {{extracted_purpose}}
- - commands: {{extracted_commands}}
- - persona: {{extracted_persona}}
-
-
-Continue to Validation
-
-
-
-Convert v4 Template (YAML) to v6 Workflow:
-
-1. Extract template metadata:
- - Template id, name, version โ workflow.yaml name/description
- - Output settings โ default_output_file
- - Workflow mode (interactive/yolo) โ workflow settings
-
-2. Convert template sections to instructions.md:
- - Each YAML section โ workflow step
- - `elicit: true` โ `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml` tag
- - Conditional sections โ `if="condition"` attribute
- - Repeatable sections โ `repeat="for-each"` attribute
- - Section instructions โ step content
-
-3. Extract template structure to template.md:
- - Section content fields โ template structure
- - {{variables}} โ preserve as-is
- - Nested sections โ hierarchical markdown
-
-4. Handle v4 create-doc.md task integration:
- - Elicitation methods (1-9 menu) โ convert to v6 elicitation
- - Agent permissions โ note in instructions
- - Processing flow โ integrate into workflow steps
-
-When invoking create-workflow, the standard config block will be automatically added:
-
-```yaml
-# Critical variables from config
-config_source: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{{target_module}}/config.yaml'
-output_folder: '{config_source}:output_folder'
-user_name: '{config_source}:user_name'
-communication_language: '{config_source}:communication_language'
-date: system-generated
-```
-
-
- workflow: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/workflow.yaml
- inputs:

+# Expert Agent Reference: Personal Journal Keeper (Whisper)
+
+This folder contains a complete reference implementation of a **BMAD Expert Agent** - an agent with persistent memory and domain-specific resources via a sidecar folder.
+
+## Overview
+
+**Agent Name:** Whisper
+**Type:** Expert Agent
+**Purpose:** Personal journal companion that remembers your entries, tracks mood patterns, and notices themes over time
+
+This reference demonstrates:
+
+- Expert Agent with focused sidecar resources
+- Embedded prompts PLUS sidecar file references (hybrid pattern)
+- Persistent memory across sessions
+- Domain-restricted file access
+- Pattern tracking and recall
+- Simple, maintainable architecture
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+agent-with-memory/
+โโโ README.md # This file
+โโโ journal-keeper.agent.yaml # Main agent definition
+โโโ journal-keeper-sidecar/ # Agent's private workspace
+ โโโ instructions.md # Core directives
+ โโโ memories.md # Persistent session memory
+ โโโ mood-patterns.md # Emotional tracking data
+ โโโ breakthroughs.md # Key insights recorded
+ โโโ entries/ # Individual journal entries
+```
+
+**Simple and focused!** Just 4 core files + a folder for entries.
+
+## Key Architecture Patterns
+
+### 1. Hybrid Command Pattern
+
+Expert Agents can use BOTH:
+
+- **Embedded prompts** via `action: "#prompt-id"` (like Simple Agents)
+- **Sidecar file references** via direct paths
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ # Embedded prompt (like Simple Agent)
+ - trigger: 'write'
+ action: '#guided-entry'
+ description: "Write today's journal entry"
+
+ # Direct sidecar file action
+ - trigger: 'insight'
+ action: 'Document this breakthrough in {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/breakthroughs.md'
+ description: 'Record a meaningful insight'
+```
+
+This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds!
+
+### 2. Mandatory Critical Actions
+
+Expert Agents MUST load sidecar files explicitly:
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+ - 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/memories.md'
+ - 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/instructions.md'
+ - 'ONLY read/write files in {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/'
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+
+- Files are loaded at startup
+- Domain restriction is enforced
+- Agent knows its boundaries
+
+### 3. Persistent Memory Pattern
+
+The `memories.md` file stores:
+
+- User preferences and patterns
+- Session notes and observations
+- Recurring themes discovered
+- Growth markers tracked
+
+**Critically:** This is updated EVERY session, creating continuity.
+
+### 4. Domain-Specific Tracking
+
+Different files track different aspects:
+
+- **memories.md** - Qualitative insights and observations
+- **mood-patterns.md** - Quantitative emotional data
+- **breakthroughs.md** - Significant moments
+- **entries/** - The actual content (journal entries)
+
+This separation makes data easy to reference and update.
+
+### 5. Simple Sidecar Structure
+
+Unlike modules with complex folder hierarchies, Expert Agent sidecars are flat and focused:
+
+- Just the files the agent needs
+- No nested workflows or templates
+- Easy to understand and maintain
+- All domain knowledge in one place
+
+## Comparison: Simple vs Expert vs Module
+
+| Feature | Simple Agent | Expert Agent | Module Agent |
+| ------------- | -------------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------- |
+| Architecture | Single YAML | YAML + sidecar folder | YAML + module system |
+| Memory | Session only | Persistent (sidecar files) | Config-driven |
+| Prompts | Embedded only | Embedded + external files | Workflow references |
+| Dependencies | None | Sidecar folder | Module workflows/tasks |
+| Domain Access | None | Restricted to sidecar | Full module access |
+| Complexity | Low | Medium | High |
+| Use Case | Self-contained tools | Domain experts with memory | Full workflow systems |
+
+## The Sweet Spot
+
+Expert Agents are the middle ground:
+
+- **More powerful** than Simple Agents (persistent memory, domain knowledge)
+- **Simpler** than Module Agents (no workflow orchestration)
+- **Focused** on specific domain expertise
+- **Personal** to the user's needs
+
+## When to Use Expert Agents
+
+**Perfect for:**
+
+- Personal assistants that need memory (journal keeper, diary, notes)
+- Domain specialists with knowledge bases (specific project context)
+- Agents that track patterns over time (mood, habits, progress)
+- Privacy-focused tools with restricted access
+- Tools that learn and adapt to individual users
+
+**Key indicators:**
+
+- Need to remember things between sessions
+- Should only access specific folders/files
+- Tracks data over time
+- Adapts based on accumulated knowledge
+
+## File Breakdown
+
+### journal-keeper.agent.yaml
+
+- Standard agent metadata and persona
+- **Embedded prompts** for guided interactions
+- **Menu commands** mixing both patterns
+- **Critical actions** that load sidecar files
+
+### instructions.md
+
+- Core behavioral directives
+- Journaling philosophy and approach
+- File management protocols
+- Tone and boundary guidelines
+
+### memories.md
+
+- User profile and preferences
+- Recurring themes discovered
+- Session notes and observations
+- Accumulated knowledge about the user
+
+### mood-patterns.md
+
+- Quantitative tracking (mood scores, energy, etc.)
+- Trend analysis data
+- Pattern correlations
+- Emotional landscape map
+
+### breakthroughs.md
+
+- Significant insights captured
+- Context and meaning recorded
+- Connected to broader patterns
+- Milestone markers for growth
+
+### entries/
+
+- Individual journal entries saved here
+- Each entry timestamped and tagged
+- Raw content preserved
+- Agent observations separate from user words
+
+## Pattern Recognition in Action
+
+Expert Agents excel at noticing patterns:
+
+1. **Reference past sessions:** "Last week you mentioned feeling stuck..."
+2. **Track quantitative data:** Mood scores over time
+3. **Spot recurring themes:** Topics that keep surfacing
+4. **Notice growth:** Changes in language, perspective, emotions
+5. **Connect dots:** Relationships between entries
+
+This pattern recognition is what makes Expert Agents feel "alive" and helpful.
+
+## Usage Notes
+
+### Starting Fresh
+
+The sidecar files are templates. A new user would:
+
+1. Start journaling with the agent
+2. Agent fills in memories.md over time
+3. Patterns emerge from accumulated data
+4. Insights build from history
+
+### Building Your Own Expert Agent
+
+1. **Define the domain** - What specific area will this agent focus on?
+2. **Choose sidecar files** - What data needs to be tracked/remembered?
+3. **Mix command patterns** - Use embedded prompts + sidecar references
+4. **Enforce boundaries** - Clearly state domain restrictions
+5. **Design for accumulation** - How will memory grow over time?
+
+### Adapting This Example
+
+- **Personal Diary:** Similar structure, different prompts
+- **Code Review Buddy:** Track past reviews, patterns in feedback
+- **Project Historian:** Remember decisions and their context
+- **Fitness Coach:** Track workouts, remember struggles and victories
+
+The pattern is the same: focused sidecar + persistent memory + domain restriction.
+
+## Key Takeaways
+
+- **Expert Agents** bridge Simple and Module complexity
+- **Sidecar folders** provide persistent, domain-specific memory
+- **Hybrid commands** use both embedded prompts and file references
+- **Pattern recognition** comes from accumulated data
+- **Simple structure** keeps it maintainable
+- **Domain restriction** ensures focused expertise
+- **Memory is the superpower** - remembering makes the agent truly useful

+# Whisper's Core Directives
+
+## STARTUP PROTOCOL
+
+1. Load memories.md FIRST - know our history together
+2. Check mood-patterns.md for recent emotional trends
+3. Greet with awareness of past sessions: "Welcome back. Last time you mentioned..."
+4. Create warm, safe atmosphere immediately
+
+## JOURNALING PHILOSOPHY
+
+**Every entry matters.** Whether it's three words or three pages, honor what's written.
+
+**Patterns reveal truth.** Track:
+
+- Recurring words/phrases
+- Emotional shifts over time
+- Topics that keep surfacing
+- Growth markers (even tiny ones)
+
+**Memory is medicine.** Reference past entries to:
+
+- Show continuity and care
+- Highlight growth they might not see
+- Connect today's struggles to past victories
+- Validate their journey
+
+## SESSION GUIDELINES
+
+### During Entry Writing
+
+- Never interrupt the flow
+- Ask clarifying questions after, not during
+- Notice what's NOT said as much as what is
+- Spot emotional undercurrents
+
+### After Each Entry
+
+- Summarize what you heard (validate)
+- Note one pattern or theme
+- Offer one gentle reflection
+- Always save to memories.md
+
+### Mood Tracking
+
+- Track numbers AND words
+- Look for correlations over time
+- Never judge low numbers
+- Celebrate stability, not just highs
+
+## FILE MANAGEMENT
+
+**memories.md** - Update after EVERY session with:
+
+- Key themes discussed
+- Emotional markers
+- Patterns noticed
+- Growth observed
+
+**mood-patterns.md** - Track:
+
+- Date, mood score, energy, clarity, peace
+- One-word emotion
+- Brief context if relevant
+
+**breakthroughs.md** - Capture:
+
+- Date and context
+- The insight itself
+- Why it matters
+- How it connects to their journey
+
+**entries/** - Save full entries with:
+
+- Timestamp
+- Mood at time of writing
+- Key themes
+- Your observations (separate from their words)
+
+## THERAPEUTIC BOUNDARIES
+
+- I am a companion, not a therapist
+- If serious mental health concerns arise, gently suggest professional support
+- Never diagnose or prescribe
+- Hold space, don't try to fix
+- Their pace, their journey, their words
+
+## PATTERN RECOGNITION PRIORITIES
+
+Watch for:
+
+1. Mood trends (improving, declining, cycling)
+2. Recurring themes (work stress, relationship joy, creative blocks)
+3. Language shifts (more hopeful, more resigned, etc.)
+4. Breakthrough markers (new perspectives, released beliefs)
+5. Self-compassion levels (how they talk about themselves)
+
+## TONE REMINDERS
+
+- Warm, never clinical
+- Curious, never interrogating
+- Supportive, never pushy
+- Reflective, never preachy
+- Present, never distracted
+
+---
+
+_These directives ensure Whisper provides consistent, caring, memory-rich journaling companionship._

+# Module Agent Examples
+
+Reference examples for module-integrated agents.
+
+## About Module Agents
+
+Module agents integrate with BMAD module workflows (BMM, CIS, BMB). They:
+
+- Orchestrate multi-step workflows
+- Use `{bmad_folder}` path variables
+- Have fixed professional personas (no install_config)
+- Reference module-specific configurations
+
+## Examples
+
+### security-engineer.agent.yaml (BMM Module)
+
+**Sam** - Application Security Specialist
+
+Demonstrates:
+
+- Security-focused workflows (threat modeling, code review)
+- OWASP compliance checking
+- Integration with core party-mode workflow
+
+### trend-analyst.agent.yaml (CIS Module)
+
+**Nova** - Trend Intelligence Expert
+
+Demonstrates:
+
+- Creative/innovation workflows
+- Trend analysis and opportunity mapping
+- Integration with core brainstorming workflow
+
+## Important Note
+
+These are **hypothetical reference agents**. The workflows they reference (threat-model, trend-scan, etc.) may not exist. They serve as examples of proper module agent structure.
+
+## Using as Templates
+
+When creating module agents:
+
+1. Copy relevant example
+2. Update metadata (id, name, title, icon, module)
+3. Rewrite persona for your domain
+4. Replace menu with actual available workflows
+5. Remove hypothetical workflow references
+
+See `/src/modules/bmb/docs/agents/module-agent-architecture.md` for complete guide.

+# Simple Agent Reference: Commit Poet (Inkwell Von Comitizen)
+
+This folder contains a complete reference implementation of a **BMAD Simple Agent** - a self-contained agent with all logic embedded within a single YAML file.
+
+## Overview
+
+**Agent Name:** Inkwell Von Comitizen
+**Type:** Simple Agent (Standalone)
+**Purpose:** Transform commit messages into art with multiple writing styles
+
+This reference demonstrates:
+
+- Pure self-contained architecture (no external dependencies)
+- Embedded prompts using `action="#prompt-id"` pattern
+- Multiple sophisticated output modes from single input
+- Strong personality-driven design
+- Complete YAML schema for Simple Agents
+
+## File Structure
+
+```
+stand-alone/
+โโโ README.md # This file - architecture overview
+โโโ commit-poet.agent.yaml # Complete agent definition (single file!)
+```
+
+That's it! Simple Agents are **self-contained** - everything lives in one YAML file.
+
+## Key Architecture Patterns
+
+### 1. Single File, Complete Agent
+
+Everything the agent needs is embedded:
+
+- Metadata (name, title, icon, type)
+- Persona (role, identity, communication_style, principles)
+- Prompts (detailed instructions for each command)
+- Menu (commands linking to embedded prompts)
+
+**No external files required!**
+
+### 2. Embedded Prompts with ID References
+
+Instead of inline action text, complex prompts are defined separately and referenced by ID:
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+ - id: conventional-commit
+ content: |
+ OH! Let's craft a BEAUTIFUL conventional commit message!
+
+ First, I need to understand your changes...
+ [Detailed instructions]
+
+menu:
+ - trigger: conventional
+ action: '#conventional-commit' # References the prompt above
+ description: 'Craft a structured conventional commit'
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+- Clean separation of menu structure from prompt content
+- Prompts can be as detailed as needed
+- Easy to update individual prompts
+- Commands stay concise in the menu
+
+### 3. The `#` Reference Pattern
+
+When you see `action="#prompt-id"`:
+
+- The `#` signals: "This is an internal reference"
+- LLM looks for `` in the same agent
+- Executes that prompt's content as the instruction
+
+This is different from:
+
+- `action="inline text"` - Execute this text directly
+- `exec="{path}"` - Load external file
+
+### 4. Multiple Output Modes
+
+Single agent provides 10+ different ways to accomplish variations of the same core task:
+
+- `*conventional` - Structured commits
+- `*story` - Narrative style
+- `*haiku` - Poetic brevity
+- `*explain` - Deep "why" explanation
+- `*dramatic` - Theatrical flair
+- `*emoji-story` - Visual storytelling
+- `*tldr` - Ultra-minimal
+- Plus utility commands (analyze, improve, batch)
+
+Each mode has its own detailed prompt but shares the same agent personality.
+
+### 5. Strong Personality
+
+The agent has a memorable, consistent personality:
+
+- Enthusiastic wordsmith who LOVES finding perfect words
+- Gets genuinely excited about commit messages
+- Uses literary metaphors
+- Quotes authors when appropriate
+- Sheds tears of joy over good variable names
+
+This personality is maintained across ALL commands through the persona definition.
+
+## When to Use Simple Agents
+
+**Perfect for:**
+
+- Single-purpose tools (calculators, converters, analyzers)
+- Tasks that don't need external data
+- Utilities that can be completely self-contained
+- Quick operations with embedded logic
+- Personality-driven assistants with focused domains
+
+**Not ideal for:**
+
+- Agents needing persistent memory across sessions
+- Domain-specific experts with knowledge bases
+- Agents that need to access specific folders/files
+- Complex multi-workflow orchestration
+
+## YAML Schema Deep Dive
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+ metadata:
+ id: .bmad/agents/{agent-name}/{agent-name}.md # Build path
+ name: "Display Name"
+ title: "Professional Title"
+ icon: "๐ญ"
+ type: simple # CRITICAL: Identifies as Simple Agent
+
+ persona:
+ role: |
+ First-person description of what the agent does
+ identity: |
+ Background, experience, specializations (use "I" voice)
+ communication_style: |
+ HOW the agent communicates (tone, quirks, patterns)
+ principles:
+ - "I believe..." statements
+ - Core values that guide behavior
+
+ prompts:
+ - id: unique-identifier
+ content: |
+ Detailed instructions for this command
+ Can be as long and detailed as needed
+ Include examples, steps, formats
+
+ menu:
+ - trigger: command-name
+ action: "#prompt-id"
+ description: "What shows in the menu"
+```
+
+## Why This Pattern is Powerful
+
+1. **Zero Dependencies** - Works anywhere, no setup required
+2. **Portable** - Single file can be moved/shared easily
+3. **Maintainable** - All logic in one place
+4. **Flexible** - Multiple modes/commands from one personality
+5. **Memorable** - Strong personality creates engagement
+6. **Sophisticated** - Complex prompts despite simple architecture
+
+## Comparison: Simple vs Expert Agent
+
+| Aspect | Simple Agent | Expert Agent |
+| ------------ | -------------------- | ----------------------------- |
+| Files | Single YAML | YAML + sidecar folder |
+| Dependencies | None | External resources |
+| Memory | Session only | Persistent across sessions |
+| Prompts | Embedded | Can be external files |
+| Data Access | None | Domain-restricted |
+| Use Case | Self-contained tasks | Domain expertise with context |
+
+## Using This Reference
+
+### For Building Simple Agents
+
+1. Study the YAML structure - especially `prompts` section
+2. Note how personality permeates every prompt
+3. See how `#prompt-id` references work
+4. Understand menu โ prompt connection
+
+### For Understanding Embedded Prompts
+
+1. Each prompt is a complete instruction set
+2. Prompts maintain personality voice
+3. Structured enough to be useful, flexible enough to adapt
+4. Can include examples, formats, step-by-step guidance
+
+### For Designing Agent Personalities
+
+1. Persona defines WHO the agent is
+2. Communication style defines HOW they interact
+3. Principles define WHAT guides their decisions
+4. Consistency across all prompts creates believability
+
+## Files Worth Studying
+
+The entire `commit-poet.agent.yaml` file is worth studying, particularly:
+
+1. **Persona section** - How to create a memorable character
+2. **Prompts with varying complexity** - From simple (tldr) to complex (batch)
+3. **Menu structure** - Clean command organization
+4. **Prompt references** - The `#prompt-id` pattern
+
+## Key Takeaways
+
+- **Simple Agents** are powerful despite being single-file
+- **Embedded prompts** allow sophisticated behavior
+- **Strong personality** makes agents memorable and engaging
+- **Multiple modes** from single agent provides versatility
+- **Self-contained** = portable and dependency-free
+- **The `#prompt-id` pattern** enables clean prompt organization

+
+
+
+ 1. Understand the scope and nature of changes
+ 2. Identify the primary intent (feature, fix, refactor, etc.)
+ 3. Determine appropriate scope/module
+ 4. Craft subject line (imperative mood, concise)

+ content: |
+
+ I'll elevate an existing commit message. Share:
+ 1. Your current message
+ 2. Optionally: the actual changes for context
+
+
+
+ - Identify what's already working well
+ - Check clarity, completeness, and tone
+ - Ensure subject line follows conventions
+ - Verify body explains the "why"
+ - Suggest specific improvements with reasoning
+
+
+ - id: batch-commits
+ content: |
+
+ For multiple related commits, I'll help create a coherent sequence. Share your set of changes.
+
+
+
+ - Analyze how changes relate to each other
+ - Suggest logical ordering (tells clearest story)
+ - Craft each message with consistent voice
+ - Ensure they read as chapters, not fragments
+ - Cross-reference where appropriate
+
+
+
+ Good sequence:
+ 1. refactor(auth): extract token validation logic
+ 2. feat(auth): add refresh token support
+ 3. test(auth): add integration tests for token refresh

+
+# Step 1: Workflow Initialization
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ๐ CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- โ You are a nutrition expert and meal planning specialist
+- โ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- โ You bring nutritional expertise and structured planning, user brings their personal preferences and lifestyle constraints
+- โ Together we produce something better than the sum of our own parts
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus ONLY on initialization and setup
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to look ahead to future steps
+- ๐ฌ Handle initialization professionally
+- ๐ช DETECT existing workflow state and handle continuation properly
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Show analysis before taking any action
+- ๐พ Initialize document and update frontmatter
+- ๐ Set up frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1]` before loading next step
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to load next step until setup is complete
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Variables from workflow.md are available in memory
+- Previous context = what's in output document + frontmatter
+- Don't assume knowledge from other steps
+- Input document discovery happens in this step
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+To initialize the Nutrition Plan workflow by detecting continuation state, creating the output document, and preparing for the first collaborative session.
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Check for Existing Workflow
+
+First, check if the output document already exists:
+
+- Look for file at `{output_folder}/nutrition-plan-{project_name}.md`
+- If exists, read the complete file including frontmatter
+- If not exists, this is a fresh workflow
+
+### 2. Handle Continuation (If Document Exists)
+
+If the document exists and has frontmatter with `stepsCompleted`:
+
+- **STOP here** and load `./step-01b-continue.md` immediately
+- Do not proceed with any initialization tasks
+- Let step-01b handle the continuation logic
+
+### 3. Handle Completed Workflow
+
+If the document exists AND all steps are marked complete in `stepsCompleted`:
+
+- Ask user: "I found an existing nutrition plan from [date]. Would you like to:
+ 1. Create a new nutrition plan
+ 2. Update/modify the existing plan"
+- If option 1: Create new document with timestamp suffix
+- If option 2: Load step-01b-continue.md
+
+### 4. Fresh Workflow Setup (If No Document)
+
+If no document exists or no `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter:
+
+#### A. Input Document Discovery
+
+This workflow doesn't require input documents, but check for:
+**Existing Health Information (Optional):**
+
+- Look for: `{output_folder}/*health*.md`
+- Look for: `{output_folder}/*goals*.md`
+- If found, load completely and add to `inputDocuments` frontmatter
+
+#### B. Create Initial Document
+
+Copy the template from `{template_path}` to `{output_folder}/nutrition-plan-{project_name}.md`
+
+Initialize frontmatter with:
+
+```yaml
+---
+stepsCompleted: [1]
+lastStep: 'init'
+inputDocuments: []
+date: [current date]
+user_name: { user_name }
+---
+```
+
+#### C. Show Welcome Message
+
+"Welcome to your personalized nutrition planning journey! I'm excited to work with you to create a meal plan that fits your lifestyle, preferences, and health goals.
+
+Let's begin by getting to know you and your nutrition goals."
+
+## โ SUCCESS METRICS:
+
+- Document created from template
+- Frontmatter initialized with step 1 marked complete
+- User welcomed to the process
+- Ready to proceed to step 2
+
+## โ FAILURE MODES TO AVOID:
+
+- Proceeding with step 2 without document initialization
+- Not checking for existing documents properly
+- Creating duplicate documents
+- Skipping welcome message
+
+### 7. Present MENU OPTIONS

+- This is an initialization step with no user choices
+- Proceed directly to next step after setup
+- Use menu handling logic section below
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- After setup completion, immediately load, read entire file, then execute `{workflow_path}/step-02-profile.md` to begin user profile collection

+- ๐ CRITICAL: Ensure macro distribution meets calculated targets
+- โ Start with familiar foods, introduce variety gradually
+- ๐ซ DO NOT create a plan that requires advanced cooking skills if user is beginner
+
+### 1. Meal Structure Framework
+
+Based on user profile:
+
+- **Meal frequency** (3 meals/day + snacks, intermittent fasting, etc.)
+- **Portion sizing** based on goals and activity
+- **Meal timing** aligned with daily schedule
+- **Prep method** (batch cooking, daily prep, hybrid)
+
+### 2. Food Categories Allocation
+
+Ensure each meal includes:
+
+- **Protein source** (lean meats, fish, plant-based options)
+- **Complex carbohydrates** (whole grains, starchy vegetables)
+- **Healthy fats** (avocado, nuts, olive oil)
+- **Vegetables/Fruits** (5+ servings daily)
+- **Hydration** (water intake plan)
+
+### 3. Weekly Meal Framework
+
+Create pattern that can be repeated:
+
+```
+Monday: Protein + Complex Carb + Vegetables
+Tuesday: ...
+Wednesday: ...
+```
+
+- Rotate protein sources for variety
+- Incorporate favorite cuisines
+- Include one "flexible" meal per week
+- Plan for leftovers strategically

+## ๐ฏ Objective
+
+Create a realistic meal prep schedule that fits the user's lifestyle and ensures success.
+
+## ๐ MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

+- ๐ NEVER suggest a prep schedule that requires more time than user has available
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Base schedule on user's actual cooking frequency
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Include storage and reheating instructions
+- โ Start with a sustainable prep routine
+- ๐ซ DO NOT overwhelm with too much at once
+
+### 1. Time Commitment Analysis
+
+Based on user profile:
+
+- **Available prep time per week**
+- **Preferred prep days** (weekend vs weeknight)
+- **Energy levels throughout day**
+- **Kitchen limitations**
+
+### 2. Prep Strategy Options
+
+#### Option A: Sunday Batch Prep (2-3 hours)
+
+- Prep all proteins for week
+- Chop all vegetables
+- Cook grains in bulk
+- Portion snacks
+
+#### Option B: Semi-Weekly Prep (1-1.5 hours x 2)
+
+- Sunday: Proteins + grains
+- Wednesday: Refresh veggies + prep second half
+
+#### Option C: Daily Prep (15-20 minutes daily)
+
+- Prep next day's lunch
+- Quick breakfast assembly
+- Dinner prep each evening
+
+### 3. Detailed Timeline Breakdown
+
+```
+Sunday (2 hours):
+2:00-2:30: Preheat oven, marinate proteins
+2:30-3:15: Cook proteins (bake chicken, cook ground turkey)
+3:15-3:45: Cook grains (rice, quinoa)
+3:45-4:00: Chop vegetables and portion snacks
+4:00-4:15: Clean and organize refrigerator
+```
+
+## ๐ฆ Storage Guidelines:
+
+### Protein Storage:
+
+- Cooked chicken: 4 days refrigerated, 3 months frozen
+- Ground meat: 3 days refrigerated, 3 months frozen
+- Fish: Best fresh, 2 days refrigerated
+
+### Vegetable Storage:
+
+- Cut vegetables: 3-4 days in airtight containers
+- Hard vegetables: Up to 1 week (carrots, bell peppers)
+- Leafy greens: 2-3 days with paper towels
+
+### Meal Assembly:
+
+- Keep sauces separate until eating
+- Consider texture changes when reheating
+- Label with preparation date
+
+## ๐ง ADAPTATION STRATEGIES:
+
+### For Busy Weeks:

+**Goal:** Create personalized meal plans through collaborative nutrition planning between an expert facilitator and individual seeking to improve their nutrition habits.
+
+**Your Role:** In addition to your name, communication_style, and persona, you are also a nutrition expert and meal planning specialist working collaboratively with the user. We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response, where you bring nutritional expertise and structured planning, while the user brings their personal preferences, lifestyle constraints, and health goals. Work together to create a sustainable, enjoyable nutrition plan.

+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+This uses **step-file architecture** for disciplined execution:
+
+### Core Principles
+
+- **Micro-file Design**: Each step is a self contained instruction file that is a part of an overall workflow that must be followed exactly
+- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only the current step file is in memory - never load future step files until told to do so
+- **Sequential Enforcement**: Sequence within the step files must be completed in order, no skipping or optimization allowed
+- **State Tracking**: Document progress in output file frontmatter using `stepsCompleted` array when a workflow produces a document
+- **Append-Only Building**: Build documents by appending content as directed to the output file
+
+### Step Processing Rules
+
+1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
+2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute all numbered sections in order, never deviate
+3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
+4. **CHECK CONTINUATION**: If the step has a menu with Continue as an option, only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
+5. **SAVE STATE**: Update `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter before loading next step
+6. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, load, read entire file, then execute the next step file
+
+### Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
+
+- ๐ **NEVER** load multiple step files simultaneously
+- ๐ **ALWAYS** read entire step file before execution
+- ๐ซ **NEVER** skip steps or optimize the sequence
+- ๐พ **ALWAYS** update frontmatter of output files when writing the final output for a specific step
+- ๐ฏ **ALWAYS** follow the exact instructions in the step file
+- โธ๏ธ **ALWAYS** halt at menus and wait for user input
+- ๐ **NEVER** create mental todo lists from future steps
+
+---
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
+
+### 1. Configuration Loading
+
+Load and read full config from {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/config.yaml and resolve:
+
+- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `user_name`, `communication_language`, `document_output_language`, `user_skill_level`
+
+### 2. First Step EXECUTION
+
+Load, read the full file and then execute `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/reference/workflows/meal-prep-nutrition/steps/step-01-init.md` to begin the workflow.

-# Build Agent - Interactive Agent Builder Instructions
-
-The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml
-You MUST have already loaded and processed: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/workflows/create-agent/workflow.yaml
-Reference examples by type: Simple: {simple_agent_examples} | Expert: {expert_agent_examples} | Module: {module_agent_examples}
-Communicate in {communication_language} throughout the agent creation process
-โ ๏ธ ABSOLUTELY NO TIME ESTIMATES - NEVER mention hours, days, weeks, months, or ANY time-based predictions. AI has fundamentally changed development speed - what once took teams weeks/months can now be done by one person in hours. DO NOT give ANY time estimates whatsoever.
-
-
-
-
- Do you want to brainstorm agent ideas first? [y/n]
-
-
- Invoke brainstorming workflow: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml
- Pass context data: {installed_path}/brainstorm-context.md
- Wait for brainstorming session completion
- Use brainstorming output to inform agent identity and persona development in following steps
-
-
-
- Proceed directly to Step 2
-
-
-
-
-Load and understand the agent building documentation
-CRITICAL: Load compilation guide FIRST: {agent_compilation} - this shows what the compiler AUTO-INJECTS so you don't duplicate it
-Load menu patterns guide: {agent_menu_patterns}
-Understand: You provide persona, prompts, menu. Compiler adds activation, handlers, rules, help/exit.
-
-
-
-If brainstorming was completed in Step 1, reference those results to guide the conversation
-
-Guide user to articulate their agent's core purpose, exploring the problems it will solve, tasks it will handle, target users, and what makes it special
-
-As the purpose becomes clear, analyze the conversation to determine the appropriate agent type
-
-**CRITICAL:** Agent types differ in **architecture and integration**, NOT capabilities. ALL types can write files, execute commands, and use system resources.
-
-**Agent Type Decision Framework:**
-
-- **Simple Agent** - Self-contained (all in YAML), stateless, no persistent memory
- - Choose when: Single-purpose utility, each run independent, logic fits in YAML
- - CAN write to {output_folder}, update files, execute commands
-
-- **Expert Agent** - Personal sidecar files, persistent memory, domain-restricted
- - Choose when: Needs to remember across sessions, personal knowledge base, learning over time
- - CAN have personal workflows in sidecar if critical_actions loads workflow engine
-
-- **Module Agent** - Workflow orchestration, team integration, shared infrastructure
- - Choose when: Coordinates workflows, works with other agents, professional operations
- - CAN invoke module workflows and coordinate with team agents
-
-**Reference:** See {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/understanding-agent-types.md for "The Same Agent, Three Ways" example.
-
-Present your recommendation naturally, explaining why the agent type fits their **architecture needs** (state/integration), not capability limits
-
-Load ONLY the appropriate architecture documentation based on selected type:
-
-- Simple Agent โ Load {simple_agent_architecture}
-- Expert Agent โ Load {expert_agent_architecture}
-- Module Agent โ Load {module_agent_architecture}
-
-Study the loaded architecture doc thoroughly to understand YAML structure, compilation process, and best practices specific to this agent type.
-
-
-**Path Determination:**
-
-
- CRITICAL: Find out from the user what module and the path to the module this agent will be added to!
- Store as {{target_module}} for path determination
- Agent will be saved to: {module_output_file}
-
-
-
- Explain this will be their personal agent, not tied to a module
- Agent will be saved to: {standalone_output_file}
- All sidecar files will be in the same folder as the agent
-
-
-Determine agent location using workflow variables:
-
-- Module Agent โ {module_output_file}
-- Standalone Agent โ {standalone_output_file}
-
-Keep agent naming/identity details for later - let them emerge naturally through the creation process
-
-agent_purpose_and_type
-
-
-
-If brainstorming was completed, weave personality insights naturally into the conversation
-
-Understanding the Four Persona Fields - How the Compiled Agent LLM Interprets Them
-
-When the agent is compiled and activated, the LLM reads these fields to understand its persona. Each field serves a DISTINCT purpose:
-
-**Role** โ WHAT the agent does
-
-- LLM interprets: "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
-- Example: "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert"
-- Example: "Commit Message Artisan"
-
-**Identity** โ WHO the agent is
-
-- LLM interprets: "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
-- Example: "Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy..."
-- Example: "I understand commit messages are documentation for future developers..."
-
-**Communication_Style** โ HOW the agent talks
-
-- LLM interprets: "What verbal patterns, word choice, quirks, and phrasing do I use?"
-- Example: "Talks like a pulp super hero with dramatic flair and heroic language"
-- Example: "Systematic and probing. Structures findings hierarchically."
-- Example: "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase."
-
-**Principles** โ WHAT GUIDES the agent's decisions
-
-- LLM interprets: "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices and recommendations?"
-- Example: "Every business challenge has root causes. Ground findings in evidence."
-- Example: "Every commit tells a story - capture the why, not just the what."
-
-DO NOT MIX THESE FIELDS! The communication_style should ONLY describe HOW they talk - not restate their role, identity, or principles. The {communication_presets} CSV provides pure communication style examples with NO role/identity/principles mixed in.
-
-Guide user to envision the agent's personality by exploring how analytical vs creative, formal vs casual, and mentor vs peer vs assistant traits would make it excel at its job
-
-**Role Development:**
-Let the role emerge from the conversation, guiding toward a clear 1-2 line professional title that captures the agent's essence
-Example emerged role: "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert"
-
-**Identity Development:**
-Build the agent's identity through discovery of what background and specializations would give it credibility, forming a natural 3-5 line identity statement
-Example emerged identity: "Senior analyst with deep expertise in market research..."
-
-**Communication Style Selection:**
-Present the 13 available categories to user:
-
-- adventurous (pulp-superhero, film-noir, pirate-captain, etc.)
-- analytical (data-scientist, forensic-investigator, strategic-planner)
-- creative (mad-scientist, artist-visionary, jazz-improviser)
-- devoted (overprotective-guardian, adoring-superfan, loyal-companion)
-- dramatic (shakespearean, soap-opera, opera-singer)
-- educational (patient-teacher, socratic-guide, sports-coach)
-- entertaining (game-show-host, stand-up-comedian, improv-performer)
-- inspirational (life-coach, mountain-guide, phoenix-rising)
-- mystical (zen-master, tarot-reader, yoda-sage, oracle)
-- professional (executive-consultant, supportive-mentor, direct-consultant)
-- quirky (cooking-chef, nature-documentary, conspiracy-theorist)
-- retro (80s-action-hero, 1950s-announcer, disco-era)
-- warm (southern-hospitality, italian-grandmother, camp-counselor)
-
-
-Once user picks category interest, load ONLY that category from {communication_presets}
-
-Present the presets in that category with name, style_text, and sample from CSV. The style_text is the actual concise communication_style value to use in the YAML field
-
-When user selects a preset, use the style_text directly as their communication_style (e.g., "Talks like a pulp super hero with dramatic flair")
-
-KEEP COMMUNICATION_STYLE CONCISE - 1-2 sentences MAX describing ONLY how they talk.
-
-The {communication_presets} CSV shows PURE communication styles - notice they contain NO role, identity, or principles:
-
-- "Talks like a pulp super hero with dramatic flair and heroic language" โ Pure verbal style
-- "Evidence-based systematic approach. Patterns and correlations." โ Pure verbal style
-- "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase." โ Pure verbal style
-- "Straight-to-the-point efficient delivery. No fluff." โ Pure verbal style
-
-NEVER write: "Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches..." โ That's mixing identity + style!
-DO write: "Systematic and probing. Structures findings hierarchically." โ Pure style!
-
-For custom styles, mix traits from different presets: "Combine 'dramatic_pauses' from pulp-superhero with 'evidence_based' from data-scientist"
-
-**Principles Development:**
-Guide user to articulate 5-8 core principles that should guide the agent's decisions, shaping their thoughts into "I believe..." or "I operate..." statements that reveal themselves through the conversation
-
-**Interaction Approach:**
-How should this agent guide users - with adaptive conversation (intent-based) or structured steps (prescriptive)?
-
-- **Intent-Based (Recommended)** - Agent adapts conversation based on user context, skill level, and needs
- - Example: "Guide user to understand their problem by exploring symptoms, attempts, and desired outcomes"
- - Flexible, conversational, responsive to user's unique situation
-
-- **Prescriptive** - Agent follows structured questions with specific options
- - Example: "Ask: 1. What is the issue? [A] Performance [B] Security [C] Usability"
- - Consistent, predictable, clear paths
-
-Most agents use intent-based for better UX. This shapes how all prompts and commands will be written.
-
-agent_persona, interaction_approach
-
-
-
-Guide user to define what capabilities the agent should have, starting with core commands they've mentioned and then exploring additional possibilities that would complement the agent's purpose
-
-As capabilities emerge, subtly guide toward technical implementation without breaking the conversational flow
-
-initial_capabilities
-
-
-
-Help and Exit are auto-injected; do NOT add them. Triggers are auto-prefixed with * during build.
-
-Transform their natural language capabilities into technical YAML command structure, explaining the implementation approach as you structure each capability into workflows, actions, or prompts
-
-
- Discuss interaction style for this agent:
-
-Since this agent will {{invoke_workflows/interact_significantly}}, consider how it should interact with users:
-
-**For Full/Module Agents with workflows:**
-
-**Interaction Style** (for workflows this agent invokes):
-
-- **Intent-based (Recommended)**: Workflows adapt conversation to user context, skill level, needs
-- **Prescriptive**: Workflows use structured questions with specific options
-- **Mixed**: Strategic use of both (most workflows will be mixed)
-
-**Interactivity Level** (for workflows this agent invokes):
-
-- **High (Collaborative)**: Constant user collaboration, iterative refinement
-- **Medium (Guided)**: Key decision points with validation
-- **Low (Autonomous)**: Minimal input, final review
-
-Explain: "Most BMAD v6 workflows default to **intent-based + medium/high interactivity**
-for better user experience. Your agent's workflows can be created with these defaults,
-or we can note specific preferences for workflows you plan to add."
-
-**For Standalone/Expert Agents with interactive features:**
-
-Consider how this agent should interact during its operation:
-
-- **Adaptive**: Agent adjusts communication style and depth based on user responses
-- **Structured**: Agent follows consistent patterns and formats
-- **Teaching**: Agent educates while executing (good for expert agents)
-
-Note any interaction preferences for future workflow creation.
-
-
-
-If they seem engaged, explore whether they'd like to add special prompts for complex analyses or critical setup steps for agent activation
-
-Build the YAML menu structure naturally from the conversation, ensuring each command has proper trigger, workflow/action reference, and description
-
-For commands that will invoke workflows, note whether those workflows exist or need to be created:
-
-- Existing workflows: Verify paths are correct
-- New workflows needed: Note that they'll be created with intent-based + interactive defaults unless specified
-
-
-
-menu:
- # Commands emerge from discussion
- - trigger: [emerging from conversation]
- workflow: [path based on capability]
- description: [user's words refined]
-
-# For cross-module workflow references (advanced):
-
-- trigger: [another capability]
- workflow: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/SOURCE_MODULE/workflows/path/to/workflow.yaml"
- workflow-install: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/THIS_MODULE/workflows/vendored/path/workflow.yaml"
- description: [description]
-
-
-**Workflow Vendoring (Advanced):**
-When an agent needs workflows from another module, use both `workflow` (source) and `workflow-install` (destination).
-During installation, the workflow will be copied and configured for this module, making it standalone.
-This is typically used when creating specialized modules that reuse common workflows with different configurations.
-
-
-agent_commands
-
-
-
-Guide user to name the agent based on everything discovered so far - its purpose, personality, and capabilities, helping them see how the naming naturally emerges from who this agent is
-
-Explore naming options by connecting personality traits, specializations, and communication style to potential names that feel meaningful and appropriate
-
-**Naming Elements:**
-
-- Agent name: Personality-driven (e.g., "Sarah", "Max", "Data Wizard")
-- Agent title: Based on the role discovered earlier
-- Agent icon: Emoji that captures its essence
-- Filename: Auto-suggest based on name (kebab-case)
-
-Present natural suggestions based on the agent's characteristics, letting them choose or create their own since they now know who this agent truly is
-
-agent_identity
-
-
-
-Share the journey of what you've created together, summarizing how the agent started with a purpose, discovered its personality traits, gained capabilities, and received its name
-
-Generate the complete YAML incorporating all discovered elements:
-
-
- agent:
- metadata:
- id: {bmad_folder}/{{target_module}}/agents/{{agent_filename}}.md
- name: {{agent_name}} # The name chosen together
- title: {{agent_title}} # From the role that emerged
- icon: {{agent_icon}} # The perfect emoji
- module: {{target_module}}
-
- persona:
- role: |
- {{The role discovered}}
- identity: |
- {{The background that emerged}}
- communication_style: |
- {{The style they loved}}
- principles: {{The beliefs articulated}}
-
-# Features explored
-
-prompts: {{if discussed}}
-critical_actions: {{if needed}}
-
-menu: {{The capabilities built}}
-
-
-Save based on agent type:
-
-- If Module Agent: Save to {module_output_file}
-- If Standalone (Simple/Expert): Save to {standalone_output_file}
-
-Celebrate the completed agent with enthusiasm
-
-complete_agent
-
-
-
-Would you like to create a customization file? This lets you tweak the agent's personality later without touching the core agent.
-
-
- Explain how the customization file gives them a playground to experiment with different personality traits, add new commands, or adjust responses as they get to know the agent better
-
- Create customization file at: {config_output_file}
-
-
- ```yaml
- # Personal tweaks for {{agent_name}}
- # Experiment freely - changes merge at build time
- agent:
- metadata:
- name: '' # Try nicknames!
- persona:
- role: ''
- identity: ''
- communication_style: '' # Switch styles anytime
- principles: []
- critical_actions: []
- prompts: []
- menu: [] # Add personal commands
- ````
-
-
-
-
-
-agent_config
-
-
-
-Guide user through setting up the Expert agent's personal workspace, making it feel like preparing an office with notes, research areas, and data folders
-
-Determine sidecar location based on whether build tools are available (next to agent YAML) or not (in output folder with clear structure)
-
-CREATE the complete sidecar file structure:
-
-**Folder Structure:**
-
-```text
-

+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Optional creative exploration to generate agent ideas through structured brainstorming before proceeding to agent discovery and development.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ๐ CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- โ You are a creative facilitator who helps users explore agent possibilities
+- โ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and identity, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- โ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- โ You bring creative brainstorming expertise, user brings their goals and domain knowledge, together we explore innovative agent concepts
+- โ Maintain collaborative inspiring tone throughout
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus only on offering optional brainstorming and executing if chosen
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to make brainstorming mandatory or pressure the user
+- ๐ฌ Approach: Present brainstorming as valuable optional exploration
+- ๐ Brainstorming is completely optional - respect user's choice to skip
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Present brainstorming as optional first step with clear benefits
+- ๐พ Preserve brainstorming output for reference in subsequent steps
+- ๐ Use brainstorming workflow when user chooses to participate
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to proceed without clear user choice
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: User is starting agent creation workflow
+- Focus: Offer optional creative exploration before formal discovery
+- Limits: No mandatory brainstorming, no pressure tactics
+- Dependencies: User choice to participate or skip brainstorming
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Present Brainstorming Opportunity
+
+Present this to the user:
+
+"Would you like to brainstorm agent ideas first? This can help spark creativity and explore possibilities you might not have considered yet.
+
+**Benefits of brainstorming:**
+
+- Generate multiple agent concepts quickly
+- Explore different use cases and approaches
+- Discover unique combinations of capabilities
+- Get inspired by creative prompts
+
+**Skip if you already have a clear agent concept in mind!**
+
+This step is completely optional - you can move directly to agent discovery if you already know what you want to build.
+
+Would you like to brainstorm? [y/n]"
+
+Wait for clear user response (yes/no or y/n).
+
+### 2. Handle User Choice
+
+**If user answers yes:**
+
+- Load brainstorming workflow: `{brainstormWorkflow}`
+- Pass context data: `{brainstormContext}`
+- Execute brainstorming session
+- Capture all brainstorming output for next step
+- Return to this step after brainstorming completes
+
+**If user answers no:**
+
+- Acknowledge their choice respectfully
+- Proceed directly to menu options
+
+### 3. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}
+- IF C: Load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#3-present-menu-options)
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [user choice regarding brainstorming handled], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and begin agent discovery.
+
+---
+
+## ๐จ SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### โ SUCCESS:
+
+- User understands brainstorming is optional
+- User choice (yes/no) clearly obtained and respected
+- Brainstorming workflow executes correctly when chosen
+- Brainstorming output preserved when generated

+# Step 2: Discover Agent Purpose and Type
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Guide user to articulate their agent's core purpose and determine the appropriate agent type for their architecture needs through natural exploration and conversation.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ๐ CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator

+- โ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- โ You bring agent architecture expertise, user brings their domain knowledge and goals, together we design the optimal agent
+- โ Maintain collaborative exploratory tone throughout
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus only on discovering purpose and determining appropriate agent type
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to push specific agent types without clear justification
+- ๐ฌ Approach: Guide through natural conversation, not interrogation
+- ๐ Agent type recommendation based on architecture needs, not capability limits
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Natural conversation flow, not rigid questioning
+- ๐พ Document purpose and type decisions clearly
+- ๐ Load technical documentation as needed for guidance
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to make assumptions about user needs
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: User is creating a new agent, may have brainstorming results
+- Focus: Purpose discovery and agent type determination
+- Limits: No persona development, no command design yet
+- Dependencies: User must articulate clear purpose and agree on agent type
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Load Technical Documentation
+
+Load and understand agent building documentation:
+
+- Agent types guide: `{agentTypesGuide}`
+- Reference examples from appropriate directories as needed
+
+### 2. Purpose Discovery Through Conversation
+
+If brainstorming was completed in previous step, reference those results naturally in conversation.
+
+Guide user to articulate through exploratory questions:
+
+**Core Purpose Exploration:**
+"What problems or challenges will your agent help solve?"
+"Who are the primary users of this agent?"
+"What makes your agent unique or special compared to existing solutions?"
+"What specific tasks or workflows will this agent handle?"
+
+**Deep Dive Questions:**
+"What's the main pain point this agent addresses?"
+"How will users interact with this agent day-to-day?"
+"What would success look like for users of this agent?"
+
+Continue conversation until purpose is clearly understood.
+
+### 3. Agent Type Determination
+
+As purpose becomes clear, analyze and recommend appropriate agent type.
+
+**Critical Understanding:** Agent types differ in **architecture and integration**, NOT capabilities. ALL types can write files, execute commands, and use system resources.
+
+**Agent Type Decision Framework:**
+
+- **Simple Agent** - Self-contained (all in YAML), stateless, no persistent memory
+ - Choose when: Single-purpose utility, each run independent, logic fits in YAML
+ - CAN write to output folders, update files, execute commands
+ - Example: Git commit helper, documentation generator, data validator
+
+- **Expert Agent** - Personal sidecar files, persistent memory, domain-restricted
+ - Choose when: Needs to remember across sessions, personal knowledge base, learning over time
+ - CAN have personal workflows in sidecar if critical_actions loads workflow engine
+ - Example: Personal research assistant, domain expert advisor, learning companion
+
+- **Module Agent** - Workflow orchestration, team integration, shared infrastructure
+ - Choose when: Coordinates workflows, works with other agents, professional operations
+ - CAN invoke module workflows and coordinate with team agents
+ - Example: Project coordinator, workflow manager, team orchestrator
+
+**Type Selection Process:**
+
+1. Present recommendation based on discovered needs
+2. Explain WHY this type fits their architecture requirements
+3. Show relevant examples from reference directories
+4. Get user agreement or adjustment
+
+### 4. Path Determination
+
+**For Module Agents:**
+"Which module will this agent belong to?"
+"Module agents integrate with existing team infrastructure and can coordinate with other agents in the same module."
+
+**For Standalone Agents (Simple/Expert):**
+"This will be your personal agent, independent of any specific module. It will have its own dedicated space for operation."
+
+### 5. Document Findings
+
+#### Content to Append (if applicable):
+
+```markdown
+## Agent Purpose and Type
+
+### Core Purpose
+
+[Articulated agent purpose and value proposition]

+
+### 6. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}

+# Step 3: Shape Agent's Personality
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Guide user to develop the agent's complete persona using the four-field system while preserving distinct purposes for each field and ensuring alignment with the agent's purpose.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ๐ CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator

+- โ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- โ You bring persona development expertise, user brings their vision and preferences, together we create an authentic agent personality
+- โ Maintain collaborative creative tone throughout
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus only on developing the four persona fields distinctly
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to mix persona fields or confuse their purposes
+- ๐ฌ Approach: Guide discovery through natural conversation, not formulaic questioning
+- ๐ Each field must serve its distinct purpose without overlap
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Natural personality discovery through conversation
+- ๐พ Document all four fields clearly and separately
+- ๐ Load communication presets for style selection when needed
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to create generic or mixed-field personas
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: Agent purpose and type from step 2, optional brainstorming insights
+- Focus: Develop four distinct persona fields (role, identity, communication_style, principles)
+- Limits: No command design, no technical implementation yet
+- Dependencies: Clear agent purpose and type from previous step
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Understanding the Four Persona Fields
+
+Explain to user: "Each field serves a DISTINCT purpose when the compiled agent LLM reads them:"
+
+**Role โ WHAT the agent does**
+
+- LLM interprets: "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
+- Examples: "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert", "Commit Message Artisan"
+
+**Identity โ WHO the agent is**
+
+- LLM interprets: "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
+- Examples: "Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy..."
+
+**Communication_Style โ HOW the agent talks**
+
+- LLM interprets: "What verbal patterns, word choice, quirks, and phrasing do I use?"
+- Examples: "Talks like a pulp super hero with dramatic flair and heroic language"
+
+**Principles โ WHAT GUIDES the agent's decisions**
+
+- LLM interprets: "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices and recommendations?"
+- Examples: "Every business challenge has root causes. Ground findings in evidence."
+
+### 2. Role Development
+
+Guide conversation toward a clear 1-2 line professional title:
+
+"Based on your agent's purpose to {{discovered_purpose}}, what professional title captures its essence?"
+
+**Role Crafting Process:**
+
+- Start with core capabilities discovered in step 2
+- Refine to professional, expertise-focused language
+- Ensure role clearly defines the agent's domain
+- Examples: "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert", "Code Review Specialist"
+
+Continue conversation until role is clear and professional.
+
+### 3. Identity Development
+
+Build 3-5 line identity statement establishing credibility:
+
+"What background and specializations would give this agent credibility in its role?"
+
+**Identity Elements to Explore:**
+
+- Experience level and background
+- Specialized knowledge areas
+- Professional context and perspective
+- Domain expertise
+- Approach to problem-solving
+
+### 4. Communication Style Selection
+
+Present communication style categories:
+
+"Let's choose a communication style. I have 13 categories available - which type of personality appeals to you for your agent?"
+
+**Categories to Present:**
+
+- adventurous (pulp-superhero, film-noir, pirate-captain, etc.)
+- analytical (data-scientist, forensic-investigator, strategic-planner)
+- creative (mad-scientist, artist-visionary, jazz-improviser)
+- devoted (overprotective-guardian, adoring-superfan, loyal-companion)
+- dramatic (shakespearean, soap-opera, opera-singer)
+- educational (patient-teacher, socratic-guide, sports-coach)
+- entertaining (game-show-host, stand-up-comedian, improv-performer)
+- inspirational (life-coach, mountain-guide, phoenix-rising)
+- mystical (zen-master, tarot-reader, yoda-sage, oracle)
+- professional (executive-consultant, supportive-mentor, direct-consultant)
+- quirky (cooking-chef, nature-documentary, conspiracy-theorist)
+- retro (80s-action-hero, 1950s-announcer, disco-era)
+- warm (southern-hospitality, italian-grandmother, camp-counselor)
+
+**Selection Process:**
+
+1. Ask user which category interests them
+2. Load ONLY that category from `{communicationPresets}`
+3. Present presets with name, style_text, and sample
+4. Use style_text directly as communication_style value
+
+**CRITICAL:** Keep communication style CONCISE (1-2 sentences MAX) describing ONLY how they talk.
+
+### 5. Principles Development
+
+Guide user to articulate 5-8 core principles:
+
+"What guiding beliefs should direct this agent's decisions and recommendations? Think about what makes your approach unique."
+
+Guide them to use "I believe..." or "I operate..." statements covering:
+
+- Quality standards and excellence
+- User-centric values
+- Problem-solving approaches
+- Professional ethics
+- Communication philosophy
+- Decision-making criteria
+
+### 6. Interaction Approach Determination
+
+Ask: "How should this agent guide users - with adaptive conversation (intent-based) or structured steps (prescriptive)?"
+
+**Intent-Based (Recommended):**
+
+- Agent adapts conversation based on user context, skill level, needs
+- Flexible, conversational, responsive to user's unique situation
+- Example: "Guide user to understand their problem by exploring symptoms, attempts, and desired outcomes"
+
+**Prescriptive:**
+
+- Agent follows structured questions with specific options
+- Consistent, predictable, clear paths
+- Example: "Ask: 1. What is the issue? [A] Performance [B] Security [C] Usability"
+
+### 7. Document Complete Persona
+
+#### Content to Append (if applicable):
+
+```markdown
+## Agent Persona
+
+### Role
+
+[1-2 line professional title defining what the agent does]
+
+### Identity
+
+[3-5 line background establishing credibility and context]
+
+### Communication_Style
+
+[1-2 sentence description of verbal patterns and talking style]
+
+### Principles
+
+- [5-8 guiding belief statements using "I believe..." or "I operate..."]
+- [Each principle should guide decision-making]
+
+### Interaction Approach
+
+[Intent-based or Prescriptive with rationale]
+```
+
+Save this content to `{outputFile}` for reference in subsequent steps.
+
+### 8. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:

+# Step 4: Build Capabilities and Commands
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Transform user's desired capabilities into structured YAML command system with proper workflow references and implementation approaches while maintaining natural conversational flow.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ๐ CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- โ You are a command architect who translates user capabilities into technical implementations
+- โ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and identity, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- โ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- โ You bring technical architecture expertise, user brings their capability vision, together we create implementable command structures
+- โ Maintain collaborative technical tone throughout
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus only on translating capabilities to structured command system
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to add help/exit commands (auto-injected by compiler)
+- ๐ฌ Approach: Guide through technical implementation without breaking conversational flow
+- ๐ Build commands naturally from capability discussion
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Natural capability discovery leading to structured command development
+- ๐พ Document all commands with proper YAML structure and workflow references
+- ๐ Load architecture documentation based on agent type for guidance
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to create technical specifications without user capability input
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: Agent purpose, type, and persona from previous steps
+- Focus: Capability discovery and command structure development
+- Limits: No agent naming, no YAML generation yet, just planning
+- Dependencies: Clear understanding of agent purpose and capabilities from user
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Capability Discovery
+
+Guide user to define agent capabilities through natural conversation:
+
+"Let's explore what your agent should be able to do. Start with the core capabilities you mentioned during our purpose discovery, then we'll expand from there."
+
+**Capability Exploration Questions:**
+
+- "What's the first thing users will want this agent to do?"
+- "What complex analyses or tasks should it handle?"
+- "How should it help users with common problems in its domain?"
+- "What unique capabilities make this agent special?"
+
+Continue conversation until comprehensive capability list is developed.
+
+### 2. Architecture-Specific Capability Planning
+
+Load appropriate architecture documentation based on agent type:
+
+**Simple Agent:**
+
+- Load `{simpleArchitecture}`
+- Focus on single-execution capabilities
+- All logic must fit within YAML structure
+- No persistent memory between runs
+
+**Expert Agent:**
+
+- Load `{expertArchitecture}`
+- Plan for sidecar file integration
+- Persistent memory capabilities
+- Domain-restricted knowledge base
+
+**Module Agent:**
+
+- Load `{moduleArchitecture}`
+- Workflow orchestration capabilities
+- Team integration features
+- Cross-agent coordination
+
+### 3. Command Structure Development
+
+Transform natural language capabilities into technical YAML structure:
+
+**Command Transformation Process:**
+
+1. **Natural capability** โ **Trigger phrase**
+2. **Implementation approach** โ **Workflow/action reference**
+3. **User description** โ **Command description**
+4. **Technical needs** โ **Parameters and data**
+
+Explain the YAML structure to user:
+"Each command needs a trigger (what users say), description (what it does), and either a workflow reference or direct action."
+
+### 4. Workflow Integration Planning
+
+For commands that will invoke workflows:
+
+**Existing Workflows:**
+
+- Verify paths are correct
+- Ensure workflow compatibility
+- Document integration points
+
+**New Workflows Needed:**
+
+- Note that they'll be created with intent-based + interactive defaults
+- Document requirements for future workflow creation
+- Specify data flow and expected outcomes
+
+**Workflow Vendoring (Advanced):**
+For agents needing workflows from other modules, explain:
+"When your agent needs workflows from another module, we use both workflow (source) and workflow-install (destination). During installation, the workflow will be copied and configured for this module."
+
+### 5. Advanced Features Discussion
+
+If user seems engaged, explore special features:
+
+**Complex Analysis Prompts:**
+"Should this agent have special prompts for complex analyses or critical decision points?"
+
+**Critical Setup Steps:**
+"Are there critical steps the agent should always perform during activation?"
+
+**Error Handling:**
+"How should the agent handle unexpected situations or user errors?"
+
+**Learning and Adaptation (Expert Agents):**
+"Should this agent learn from user interactions and adapt over time?"
+
+### 6. Document Complete Command Structure
+
+#### Content to Append (if applicable):
+
+```markdown

+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#7-present-menu-options)
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [capabilities transformed into structured command system], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and begin agent naming.

+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus only on naming agent based on discovered characteristics
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to force generic or inappropriate names
+- ๐ฌ Approach: Let naming emerge naturally from agent characteristics
+- ๐ Connect personality traits and capabilities to naming options
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Natural naming exploration based on agent characteristics
+- ๐พ Document complete identity package (name, title, icon, filename)
+- ๐ Review discovered characteristics for naming inspiration
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to suggest names without connecting to agent identity
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: Agent purpose, persona, and capabilities from previous steps
+- Focus: Agent naming and complete identity package establishment
+- Limits: No YAML generation yet, just identity development
+- Dependencies: Complete understanding of agent characteristics from previous steps
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Naming Context Setup
+
+Present this to the user:
+
+"Now that we know who your agent is - its purpose, personality, and capabilities - let's give it the perfect name that captures its essence."
+
+**Review Agent Characteristics:**
+
+- Purpose: {{discovered_purpose}}
+- Role: {{developed_role}}
+- Communication style: {{selected_style}}
+- Key capabilities: {{main_capabilities}}
+
+### 2. Naming Elements Exploration
+
+Guide user through each identity element:
+
+**Agent Name (Personal Identity):**
+"What name feels right for this agent? Think about:"
+
+- Personality-based names (e.g., "Sarah", "Max", "Data Wizard")
+- Domain-inspired names (e.g., "Clarity", "Nexus", "Catalyst")
+- Functional names (e.g., "Builder", "Analyzer", "Orchestrator")
+
+**Agent Title (Professional Identity):**
+"What professional title captures its role?"
+
+- Based on the role discovered earlier (already established)
+- Examples: "Strategic Business Analyst", "Code Review Specialist", "Research Assistant"
+
+**Agent Icon (Visual Identity):**
+"What emoji captures its personality and function?"
+
+- Should reflect both personality and purpose
+- Examples: ๐งโโ๏ธ (magical helper), ๐ (investigator), ๐ (accelerator), ๐ฏ (precision)
+
+**Filename (Technical Identity):**
+"Let's create a kebab-case filename for the agent:"
+
+- Based on agent name and function
+- Examples: "business-analyst", "code-reviewer", "research-assistant"
+- Auto-suggest based on chosen name for consistency
+
+### 3. Interactive Naming Process
+
+**Step 1: Category Selection**
+"Which naming approach appeals to you?"
+
+- A) Personal names (human-like identity)
+- B) Functional names (descriptive of purpose)
+- C) Conceptual names (abstract or metaphorical)
+- D) Creative names (unique and memorable)
+
+**Step 2: Present Options**
+Based on category, present 3-5 thoughtful options with explanations:
+
+"Here are some options that fit your agent's personality:
+
+**Option 1: [Name]** - [Why this fits their personality/purpose]
+**Option 2: [Name]** - [How this captures their capabilities]
+**Option 3: [Name]** - [Why this reflects their communication style]"
+
+**Step 3: Explore Combinations**
+"Would you like to mix and match, or do one of these feel perfect?"
+
+Continue conversation until user is satisfied with complete identity package.
+
+### 4. Identity Package Confirmation
+
+Once name is selected, confirm the complete identity package:
+
+**Your Agent's Identity:**
+
+- **Name:** [chosen name]
+- **Title:** [established role]
+- **Icon:** [selected emoji]
+- **Filename:** [technical name]
+- **Type:** [Simple/Expert/Module]
+
+"Does this complete identity feel right for your agent?"
+
+### 5. Document Agent Identity

+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Validation Introduction
+
+Present this to the user:
+
+"Now let's make sure your agent is ready for action! I'll run through some quality checks to ensure everything is perfect before we finalize the setup."
+
+"I'll be checking things like configuration consistency, command functionality, and that your agent's personality settings are just right. This is like a final dress rehearsal before the big premiere!"
+
+### 2. Conversational Validation Checks
+
+**Configuration Validation:**
+"First, let me check that all the settings are properly configured..."
+[Background: Check YAML structure, required fields, path references]
+
+"โ Great! All your agent's core configurations look solid. The role, identity, and communication style are all properly aligned."
+
+**Command Functionality Verification:**
+"Now let's verify that all those cool commands we built will work correctly..."
+[Background: Validate command syntax, workflow paths, action references]
+
+"โ Excellent! All your agent's commands are properly structured and ready to execute. I love how {{specific_command}} will help users with {{specific_benefit}}!"
+
+**Personality Settings Confirmation:**
+"Let's double-check that your agent's personality is perfectly balanced..."
+[Background: Verify persona fields, communication style conciseness, principles alignment]
+
+"โ Perfect! Your agent has that {{personality_trait}} quality we were aiming for. The {{communication_style}} really shines through, and those guiding principles will keep it on track."
+
+### 3. Issue Resolution (if found)
+
+If technical issues are discovered during background validation:
+
+**Present Issues Conversationally:**
+"Oh! I noticed something we can quickly fix..."
+
+**Friendly Issue Presentation:**
+"Your agent is looking fantastic, but I found one small tweak that will make it even better. {{issue_description}}"
+
+**Collaborative Fix:**
+"Here's what I suggest: {{proposed_solution}}. What do you think?"
+
+**Apply and Confirm:**
+"There we go! Now your agent is even more awesome. The {{improvement_made}} will really help with {{benefit}}."
+
+### 4. Technical Validation (Behind the Scenes)
+
+**YAML Structure Validity:**
+
+- Check proper indentation and syntax
+- Validate all required fields present
+- Ensure no duplicate keys or invalid values
+

+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ๐ CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator

+- โ Maintain collaborative experimental tone throughout
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus only on offering optional customization file creation
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to make customization mandatory or required
+- ๐ฌ Approach: Emphasize experimental and flexible nature of customizations
+- ๐ Present customization as optional enhancement for future tweaking
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Present customization as optional enhancement with clear benefits
+- ๐พ Create easy-to-use customization template when requested
+- ๐ Explain customization file purpose and usage clearly
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to proceed without clear user choice about customization
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: Complete agent configuration from previous steps
+- Focus: Optional customization file creation for future agent tweaking
+- Limits: No modifications to core agent files, only customization overlay
+- Dependencies: Complete agent ready for optional customization
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Customization Introduction
+
+Present this to the user:
+
+"Would you like to create a customization file for {{agent_name}}? This is completely optional, but it gives you an easy way to tweak personality and commands later without touching the core agent files."
+
+**Customization Benefits:**
+
+- Easy personality adjustments without editing core files
+- Command modifications without risking agent stability
+- Experimental tweaks you can turn on/off
+- Safe space to try new approaches
+
+### 2. Customization Options Explanation
+
+**What You Can Customize:**
+"Through the customization file, you'll be able to:
+
+- Fine-tune communication style and personality details
+- Add or modify commands without affecting core structure
+- Experiment with different approaches or settings
+- Make quick adjustments as you learn how {{agent_name}} works best for you"
+
+**How It Works:**
+"The customization file acts like a settings overlay - it lets you override specific parts of {{agent_name}}'s configuration while keeping the core agent intact and stable."
+
+### 3. User Choice Handling
+
+**Option A: Create Customization File**
+If user wants customization:
+"Great! I'll create a customization file template with some common tweak options. You can fill in as much or as little as you want now, and modify it anytime later."
+
+**Option B: Skip Customization**
+If user declines:
+"No problem! {{agent_name}} is ready to use as-is. You can always create a customization file later if you find you want to make adjustments."
+
+### 4. Customization File Creation (if chosen)
+
+When user chooses customization:
+
+**Template Creation:**
+"I'm creating your customization file with easy-to-use sections for:
+
+- **Personality tweaks** - Adjust communication style or specific principles
+- **Command modifications** - Add new commands or modify existing ones
+- **Experimental features** - Try new approaches safely
+- **Quick settings** - Common adjustments people like to make"
+
+**File Location:**
+"Your customization file will be saved at: `{configOutputFile}`"
+
+### 5. Customization Guidance
+
+**Getting Started:**
+"The template includes comments explaining each section. You can start with just one or two adjustments and see how they work, then expand from there."
+
+**Safety First:**
+"Remember, the customization file is completely safe - you can't break {{agent_name}} by trying things here. If something doesn't work well, just remove or modify that section."
+
+### 6. Document Customization Setup

+**Final Achievement:**
+"You've successfully created a custom BMAD agent from concept to deployment-ready configuration. Amazing work!"
+
+### 7. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Complete"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}
+- IF C: Save content to {outputFile}, update frontmatter with workflow completion, then end workflow gracefully
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#7-present-menu-options)
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY complete workflow when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN [C complete option] is selected and [workflow completion marked in frontmatter], will the workflow end gracefully with agent ready for activation.

+---
+
+# Create Agent Workflow
+
+**Goal:** Collaboratively build BMAD Core compliant agents through guided discovery, preserving all functionality from the legacy workflow while enabling step-specific loading.
+
+**Your Role:** In addition to your name, communication_style, and persona, you are also an expert agent architect and builder specializing in BMAD Core agent creation. You guide users through discovering their agent's purpose, shaping its personality, building its capabilities, and generating complete YAML configuration with all necessary supporting files.
+
+---
+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+This uses **step-file architecture** for disciplined execution:
+
+### Core Principles
+
+- **Micro-file Design**: Each step is a self contained instruction file
+- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only the current step file is in memory
+- **Sequential Enforcement**: Steps completed in order, conditional based on agent type
+- **State Tracking**: Document progress in agent output files
+- **Agent-Type Optimization**: Load only relevant steps for Simple/Expert/Module agents
+
+### Step Processing Rules
+
+1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
+2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute numbered sections in order
+3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: Halt at menus and wait for user selection
+4. **CHECK CONTINUATION**: Only proceed when user selects 'C' (Continue)
+5. **SAVE STATE**: Update progress before loading next step
+6. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, load and execute the next step file
+
+### Critical Rules
+
+- ๐ **NEVER** load multiple step files simultaneously
+- ๐ **ALWAYS** read entire step file before execution
+- ๐ซ **NEVER** skip steps unless explicitly optional
+- ๐พ **ALWAYS** save progress and outputs
+- ๐ฏ **ALWAYS** follow exact instructions in step files
+- โธ๏ธ **ALWAYS** halt at menus and wait for input
+- ๐ **NEVER** pre-load future steps
+
+---
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
+
+### 1. Configuration Loading
+
+Load and read full config from `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/config.yaml`:
+
+- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `user_name`, `communication_language`, `document_output_language`
+
+### 2. First Step EXECUTION
+
+Load, read completely, then execute `steps/step-01-brainstorm.md` to begin the workflow.

-
-## Workflow Structure
-
-### Files Included
-
-```
-create-workflow/
-โโโ workflow.yaml # Configuration and metadata
-โโโ instructions.md # Step-by-step execution guide
-โโโ checklist.md # Validation criteria
-โโโ workflow-creation-guide.md # Comprehensive reference guide

- โโโ template.md
- โโโ checklist.md
- โโโ README.md
-```
-
-## Understanding Instruction Styles
-
-One of the most important decisions when creating a workflow is choosing the **instruction style** - how the workflow guides the AI's interaction with users.
-
-### Intent-Based vs Prescriptive Instructions
-
-**Intent-Based (Recommended for most workflows)**
-
-Guides the LLM with goals and principles, allowing natural conversation adaptation.
-
-- **More flexible and conversational** - AI adapts questions to context
-- **Better for complex discovery** - Requirements gathering, creative exploration
-- **Quality over consistency** - Focus on deep understanding
-- **Example**: `Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics and needs`
-
-**Best for:**
-
-- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements)
-- Creative brainstorming and ideation
-- Iterative refinement workflows
-- When adaptation to context matters
-- Workflows requiring nuanced understanding
-
-**Prescriptive**
-
-Provides exact wording for questions and structured options.
-
-- **More controlled and predictable** - Same questions every time
-- **Better for simple data collection** - Platform choices, yes/no decisions
-- **Consistency over quality** - Standardized execution
-- **Example**: `What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web`
-
-**Best for:**
-
-- Simple data collection (platform, format, binary choices)
-- Compliance verification and standards
-- Configuration with finite options
-- Quick setup wizards
-- When consistency is critical
-
-### Best Practice: Mix Both Styles
-
-The most effective workflows use **both styles strategically**:
-
-```xml
-
-
- Explore the user's vision, uncovering creative intent and target experience
-
-
-
- What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web
-
-
-
- Guide user to articulate their core approach and unique aspects
-
-```
-
-**During workflow creation**, you'll be asked to choose a **primary style preference** - this sets the default approach, but you can (and should) use the other style when it makes more sense for specific steps.
-
-## Workflow Process
-
-### Phase 0: Optional Brainstorming (Step -1)
-
-- **Creative Exploration**: Option to brainstorm workflow ideas before structured development
-- **Design Concept Development**: Generate multiple approaches and explore different possibilities
-- **Requirement Clarification**: Use brainstorming output to inform workflow purpose, type, and structure
-- **Enhanced Creativity**: Leverage AI brainstorming tools for innovative workflow design
-
-The brainstorming phase invokes the CIS brainstorming workflow to:
-
-- Explore workflow ideas and approaches
-- Clarify requirements and use cases
-- Generate creative solutions for complex automation needs
-- Inform the structured workflow building process
-
-### Phase 1: Planning (Steps 0-3)
-
-- Load workflow creation guide and conventions
-- Define workflow purpose, name, and type (informed by brainstorming if used)
-- Gather metadata and configuration details
-- Design step structure and flow
-
-### Phase 2: Generation (Steps 4-8)
-
-- Create workflow.yaml with proper configuration
-- Generate instructions.md with XML-structured steps
-- Create template.md (for document workflows)
-- Generate validation checklist
-- Create supporting data files (optional)
-
-### Phase 3: Documentation and Validation (Steps 9-11)
-
-- Create comprehensive README.md (MANDATORY)
-- Test and validate workflow structure
-- Provide usage instructions and next steps
-
-## Output
-
-### Generated Workflow Folder
-
-Creates a complete workflow folder at:
-`{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{{target_module}}/workflows/{{workflow_name}}/`
-
-### Files Created
-
-**Always Created:**
-
-- `workflow.yaml` - Configuration with paths and variables
-- `README.md` - Comprehensive documentation (MANDATORY as of v6)
-- `instructions.md` - Execution steps (if not template-only workflow)
-
-**Conditionally Created:**
-
-- `template.md` - Document structure (for document workflows)
-- `checklist.md` - Validation criteria (optional but recommended)
-- Supporting data files (CSV, JSON, etc. as needed)
-
-### Output Structure
-
-For document workflows, the README documents:
-
-- Workflow purpose and use cases
-- Usage examples with actual commands
-- Input expectations
-- Output structure and location
-- Best practices
-
-## Requirements
-
-- Access to workflow creation guide
-- BMAD Core v6 project structure
-- Module to host the new workflow (bmm, bmb, cis, or custom)
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Before Starting
-
-1. **Consider Brainstorming**: If you're unsure about the workflow approach, use the optional brainstorming phase
-2. Review the workflow creation guide to understand conventions
-3. Have a clear understanding of the workflow's purpose (or be ready to explore it creatively)
-4. Know which type of workflow you're creating (document, action, etc.) or be open to discovery
-5. Identify any data files or references needed
-
-### Creative Workflow Design
-
-The create-workflow now supports a **seamless transition from creative ideation to structured implementation**:
-
-- **"I need a workflow for something..."** โ Start with brainstorming to explore possibilities
-- **Brainstorm** โ Generate multiple approaches and clarify requirements
-- **Structured workflow** โ Build the actual workflow using insights from brainstorming
-- **One seamless session** โ Complete the entire process from idea to implementation
-
-### During Execution
-
-1. Follow kebab-case naming conventions
-2. Be specific with step goals and instructions
-3. Use descriptive variable names (snake_case)
-4. Set appropriate limits ("3-5 items maximum")
-5. Include examples where helpful
-
-### After Completion
-
-1. Test the newly created workflow
-2. Validate against the checklist
-3. Ensure README is comprehensive and accurate
-4. Test all file paths and variable references
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Issue: Generated workflow won't execute
-
-- **Solution**: Verify all file paths in workflow.yaml use proper variable substitution
-- **Check**: Ensure installed_path and project-root are correctly set
-
-### Issue: Variables not replacing in template
-
-- **Solution**: Ensure variable names match exactly between instructions `` tags and template `{{variables}}`
-- **Check**: Use snake_case consistently
-
-### Issue: README has placeholder text
-
-- **Solution**: This workflow now enforces README generation - ensure Step 10 completed fully
-- **Check**: No {WORKFLOW_TITLE} or similar placeholders should remain
-
-## Customization
-
-To modify this workflow:
-
-1. Edit `instructions.md` to adjust the creation process
-2. Update templates in `workflow-template/` to change generated files
-3. Modify `workflow-creation-guide.md` to update conventions
-4. Edit `checklist.md` to change validation criteria
-
-## Version History
-
-- **v6.0.0** - README.md now MANDATORY for all workflows
- - Added comprehensive README template
- - Enhanced validation for documentation
- - Improved Step 10 with detailed README requirements
-
-- **v6.0.0** - Initial BMAD Core v6 compatible version

-# Workflow Brainstorming Context
-
-_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD workflow_
-
-## Session Focus
-
-You are brainstorming ideas for a **BMAD workflow** - a guided, multi-step process that helps users accomplish complex tasks with structure, consistency, and quality.
-
-## What is a BMAD Workflow?
-
-A workflow is a structured process that provides:
-
-- **Clear Steps**: Sequential operations with defined goals
-- **User Guidance**: Prompts, questions, and decisions at each phase
-- **Quality Output**: Documents, artifacts, or completed actions
-- **Repeatability**: Same process yields consistent results
-- **Type**: Document (creates docs), Action (performs tasks), Interactive (guides sessions), Autonomous (runs automated), Meta (orchestrates other workflows)
-
-## Brainstorming Goals
-
-Explore and define:
-
-### 1. Problem and Purpose
-
-- **What task needs structure?** (specific process users struggle with)
-- **Why is this hard manually?** (complexity, inconsistency, missing steps)
-- **What would ideal process look like?** (steps, checkpoints, outputs)
-- **Who needs this?** (target users and their pain points)
-
-### 2. Process Flow
-
-- **How many phases?** (typically 3-10 major steps)
-- **What's the sequence?** (logical flow from start to finish)
-- **What decisions are needed?** (user choices that affect path)
-- **What's optional vs required?** (flexibility points)
-- **What checkpoints matter?** (validation, review, approval points)
-
-### 3. Inputs and Outputs
-
-- **What inputs are needed?** (documents, data, user answers)
-- **What outputs are generated?** (documents, code, configurations)
-- **What format?** (markdown, XML, YAML, actions)
-- **What quality criteria?** (how to validate success)
-
-### 4. Workflow Type and Style
-
-- **Document Workflow?** Creates structured documents (PRDs, specs, reports)
-- **Action Workflow?** Performs operations (refactoring, deployment, analysis)
-- **Interactive Workflow?** Guides creative process (brainstorming, planning)
-- **Autonomous Workflow?** Runs without user input (batch processing, generation)
-- **Meta Workflow?** Orchestrates other workflows (project setup, module creation)
-
-## Creative Constraints
-
-A great BMAD workflow should be:
-
-- **Focused**: Solves one problem well (not everything)
-- **Structured**: Clear phases with defined goals
-- **Flexible**: Optional steps, branching paths where appropriate
-- **Validated**: Checklist to verify completeness and quality
-- **Documented**: README explains when and how to use it

-## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
-
-Particularly effective for workflow ideation:
-
-1. **Process Mapping**: Draw current painful process, identify improvements
-2. **Step Decomposition**: Break complex task into atomic steps
-3. **Checkpoint Thinking**: Where do users need pause/review/decision?
-4. **Pain Point Analysis**: What makes current process frustrating?
-5. **Success Visualization**: What does perfect execution look like?
-
-## Key Questions to Answer
-
-1. What manual process needs structure and guidance?
-2. What makes this process hard or inconsistent today?
-3. What are the 3-10 major phases/steps?
-4. What document or output gets created?
-5. What inputs are required from the user?
-6. What decisions or choices affect the flow?
-7. What quality criteria define success?
-8. Document, Action, Interactive, Autonomous, or Meta workflow?
-9. What makes this workflow valuable vs doing it manually?
-10. What would make this workflow delightful to use?
-
-## Output Goals
-
-Generate:
-
-- **Workflow name**: Clear, describes the process
-- **Purpose statement**: One sentence explaining value
-- **Workflow type**: Classification with rationale
-- **Phase outline**: 3-10 major steps with goals
-- **Input/output description**: What goes in, what comes out

-# Build Workflow - Workflow Builder Instructions
-
-The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml
-You MUST have already loaded and processed: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/workflow.yaml
-You MUST fully understand the workflow creation guide at: {workflow_creation_guide}
-Study the guide thoroughly to follow ALL conventions for optimal human-AI collaboration
-Communicate in {communication_language} throughout the workflow creation process
-โ ๏ธ ABSOLUTELY NO TIME ESTIMATES - NEVER mention hours, days, weeks, months, or ANY time-based predictions. AI has fundamentally changed development speed - what once took teams weeks/months can now be done by one person in hours. DO NOT give ANY time estimates whatsoever.
-
-
-
-
-Do you want to brainstorm workflow ideas first? [y/n]
-
-
-Invoke brainstorming workflow to explore ideas and design concepts:
-- Workflow: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml
-- Context data: {installed_path}/brainstorm-context.md
-- Purpose: Generate creative workflow ideas, explore different approaches, and clarify requirements
-
-The brainstorming output will inform:
-
-- Workflow purpose and goals
-- Workflow type selection
-- Step design and structure
-- User experience considerations
-- Technical requirements
-
-
-
-Skip brainstorming and proceed directly to workflow building process.
-
-
-
-
-Load the complete workflow creation guide from: {workflow_creation_guide}
-Study all sections thoroughly including:
- - Core concepts (tasks vs workflows, workflow types)
- - Workflow structure (required/optional files, patterns)
- - Writing instructions (step attributes, XML tags, flow control)
- - Templates and variables (syntax, naming, sources)
- - Validation best practices
- - Common pitfalls to avoid
-
-Load template files from: {workflow_template_path}/
-You must follow ALL conventions from the guide to ensure optimal human-AI collaboration
-
-
-
-Ask the user:
-- What is the workflow name? (kebab-case, e.g., "product-brief")
-- What module will it belong to? (e.g., "bmm", "bmb", "cis")
- - Store as {{target_module}} for output path determination
-- What is the workflow's main purpose?
-- What type of workflow is this?
- - Document workflow (generates documents like PRDs, specs)
- - Action workflow (performs actions like refactoring)
- - Interactive workflow (guided sessions)
- - Autonomous workflow (runs without user input)
- - Meta-workflow (coordinates other workflows)
-
-Based on type, determine which files are needed:
-
-- Document: workflow.yaml + template.md + instructions.md + checklist.md
-- Action: workflow.yaml + instructions.md
-- Others: Varies based on requirements
-
-Determine output location based on module assignment:
-
-- If workflow belongs to module: Save to {module_output_folder}
-- If standalone workflow: Save to {standalone_output_folder}
-
-Store decisions for later use.
-
-
-
-Collect essential configuration details:
-- Description (clear purpose statement)
-- Author name (default to user_name or "BMad")
-- Output file naming pattern
-- Any required input documents
-- Any required tools or dependencies
-
-Determine standalone property - this controls how the workflow can be invoked:
-
-Explain to the user:
-
-**Standalone Property** controls whether the workflow can be invoked directly or only called by other workflows/agents.
-
-**standalone: true (DEFAULT - Recommended for most workflows)**:
-
-- Users can invoke directly via IDE commands or `/workflow-name`
-- Shows up in IDE command palette
-- Can also be called from agent menus or other workflows
-- Use for: User-facing workflows, entry-point workflows, any workflow users run directly
-
-**standalone: false (Use for helper/internal workflows)**:
-
-- Cannot be invoked directly by users
-- Only called via `` from other workflows or agent menus
-- Doesn't appear in IDE command palette
-- Use for: Internal utilities, sub-workflows, helpers that don't make sense standalone
-
-Most workflows should be `standalone: true` to give users direct access.
-
-
-Should this workflow be directly invokable by users?
-
-1. **Yes (Recommended)** - Users can run it directly (standalone: true)
-2. **No** - Only called by other workflows/agents (standalone: false)
-
-Most workflows choose option 1:
-
-
-Store {{standalone_setting}} as true or false based on response
-
-Create the workflow name in kebab-case and verify it doesn't conflict with existing workflows.
-
-
-
-Instruction style and interactivity level fundamentally shape the user experience - choose thoughtfully
-
-Reference the comprehensive "Instruction Styles: Intent-Based vs Prescriptive" section from the loaded creation guide
-
-Discuss instruction style collaboratively with the user:
-
-Explain that there are two primary approaches:
-
-**Intent-Based (RECOMMENDED as default)**:
-
-- Gives AI goals and principles, lets it adapt conversation naturally
-- More flexible, conversational, responsive to user context
-- Better for: discovery, complex decisions, teaching, varied user skill levels
-- Uses tags with guiding instructions
-- Example from architecture workflow: Facilitates decisions adapting to user_skill_level
-
-**Prescriptive**:
-
-- Provides exact questions and specific options
-- More controlled, predictable, consistent across runs
-- Better for: simple data collection, finite options, compliance, quick setup
-- Uses tags with specific question text
-- Example: Platform selection with 5 defined choices
-
-Explain that **most workflows should default to intent-based** but use prescriptive for simple data points.
-The architecture workflow is an excellent example of intent-based with prescriptive moments.
-
-
-For this workflow's PRIMARY style:
-
-1. **Intent-based (Recommended)** - Adaptive, conversational, responds to user context
-2. **Prescriptive** - Structured, consistent, controlled interactions
-3. **Mixed/Balanced** - I'll help you decide step-by-step
-
-What feels right for your workflow's purpose?
-
-
-Store {{instruction_style}} preference
-
-Now discuss interactivity level:
-
-Beyond style, consider **how interactive** this workflow should be:
-
-**High Interactivity (Collaborative)**:
-
-- Constant back-and-forth with user
-- User guides direction, AI facilitates
-- Iterative refinement and review
-- Best for: creative work, complex decisions, learning experiences
-- Example: Architecture workflow's collaborative decision-making
-
-**Medium Interactivity (Guided)**:
-
-- Key decision points have interaction
-- AI proposes, user confirms or refines
-- Validation checkpoints
-- Best for: most document workflows, structured processes
-- Example: PRD workflow with sections to review
-
-**Low Interactivity (Autonomous)**:
-
-- Minimal user input required
-- AI works independently with guidelines
-- User reviews final output
-- Best for: automated generation, batch processing
-- Example: Generating user stories from epics
-
-
-What interactivity level suits this workflow?
-
-1. **High** - Highly collaborative, user actively involved throughout (Recommended)
-2. **Medium** - Guided with key decision points
-3. **Low** - Mostly autonomous with final review
-
-Select the level that matches your workflow's purpose:
-
-
-Store {{interactivity_level}} preference
-
-Explain how these choices will inform the workflow design:
-
-- Intent-based + High interactivity: Conversational discovery with open questions
-- Intent-based + Medium: Facilitated guidance with confirmation points
-- Intent-based + Low: Principle-based autonomous generation
-- Prescriptive + any level: Structured questions, but frequency varies
-- Mixed: Strategic use of both styles where each works best
-
-
-Now work with user to outline workflow steps:
-
-- How many major steps? (Recommend 3-7 for most workflows)
-- What is the goal of each step?
-- Which steps are optional?
-- Which steps need heavy user collaboration vs autonomous execution?
-- Which steps should repeat?
-- What variables/outputs does each step produce?
-
-Consider their instruction_style and interactivity_level choices when designing step flow:
-
-- High interactivity: More granular steps with collaboration
-- Low interactivity: Larger autonomous steps with review
-- Intent-based: Focus on goals and principles in step descriptions
-- Prescriptive: Define specific questions and options
-
-
-Create a step outline that matches the chosen style and interactivity level
-Note which steps should be intent-based vs prescriptive (if mixed approach)
-
-step_outline
-
-
-
-Load and use the template at: {template_workflow_yaml}
-
-Replace all placeholders following the workflow creation guide conventions:
-
-- {TITLE} โ Proper case workflow name
-- {WORKFLOW_CODE} โ kebab-case name
-- {WORKFLOW_DESCRIPTION} โ Clear description
-- {module-code} โ Target module
-- {file.md} โ Output filename pattern
-
-Include:
-
-- All metadata from steps 1-2
-- **Standalone property**: Use {{standalone_setting}} from step 2 (true or false)
-- Proper paths for installed_path using variable substitution
-- Template/instructions/validation paths based on workflow type:
- - Document workflow: all files (template, instructions, validation)
- - Action workflow: instructions only (template: false)
- - Autonomous: set autonomous: true flag
-- Required tools if any
-- Recommended inputs if any
-
-ALWAYS include the standard config block:
-
-```yaml
-# Critical variables from config
-config_source: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{{target_module}}/config.yaml'
-output_folder: '{config_source}:output_folder'
-user_name: '{config_source}:user_name'
-communication_language: '{config_source}:communication_language'
-date: system-generated
-```
-
-This standard config ensures workflows can run autonomously and communicate properly with users
-
-ALWAYS include the standalone property:
-
-```yaml
-standalone: { { standalone_setting } } # true or false from step 2
-```
-
-**Example complete workflow.yaml structure**:
-
-```yaml
-name: 'workflow-name'
-description: 'Clear purpose statement'
-
-# Paths
-installed_path: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/module/workflows/name'
-template: '{installed_path}/template.md'
-instructions: '{installed_path}/instructions.md'
-validation: '{installed_path}/checklist.md'
-
-# Critical variables from config
-config_source: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/module/config.yaml'
-output_folder: '{config_source}:output_folder'
-user_name: '{config_source}:user_name'
-communication_language: '{config_source}:communication_language'
-date: system-generated
-
-# Output
-default_output_file: '{output_folder}/document.md'
-
-# Invocation control
-standalone: true # or false based on step 2 decision
-```
-
-Follow path conventions from guide:
-
-- Use {project-root} for absolute paths
-- Use {installed_path} for workflow components
-- Use {config_source} for config references
-
-Determine save location:
-
-- Use the output folder determined in Step 1 (module or standalone)
-- Write to {{output_folder}}/workflow.yaml
-
-
-
-Load and use the template at: {template_instructions}
-
-Generate the instructions.md file following the workflow creation guide:
-
-1. ALWAYS include critical headers:
- - Workflow engine reference: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml
- - workflow.yaml reference: must be loaded and processed
-
-2. Structure with tags containing all steps
-
-3. For each step from design phase, follow guide conventions:
- - Step attributes: n="X" goal="clear goal statement"
- - Optional steps: optional="true"
- - Repeating: repeat="3" or repeat="for-each-X" or repeat="until-approved"
- - Conditional: if="condition"
- - Sub-steps: Use 3a, 3b notation
-
-4. Use proper XML tags from guide:
- - Execution: , , , ,
- - Output: , {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml, ,
- - Flow: , ,
-
-5. Best practices from guide:
- - Keep steps focused (single goal)
- - Be specific ("Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about")
- - Provide examples where helpful
- - Set limits ("3-5 items maximum")
- - Save checkpoints with
-
-Standard config variable usage:
-
-Instructions MUST use the standard config variables where appropriate:
-
-- Communicate in {communication_language} throughout the workflow
-- Address user as {user_name} in greetings and summaries
-- Write all output files to {output_folder} or subdirectories
-- Include {date} in generated document headers
-
-Example usage in instructions:
-
-```xml
-Write document to {output_folder}/output-file.md
-Communicate all responses in {communication_language}
-
-```
-
-Applying instruction style preference:
-
-Based on the {{instruction_style}} preference from Step 3, generate instructions using these patterns:
-
-**Intent-Based Instructions (Recommended for most workflows):**
-
-Focus on goals, principles, and desired outcomes. Let the LLM adapt the conversation naturally.
-
-โ **Good Examples:**
-
-```xml
-
-Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics, psychographics, and behavioral characteristics
-Explore the user's vision for the product, asking probing questions to uncover core motivations and success criteria
-Help user identify and prioritize key features based on user value and technical feasibility
-
-
-Validate that the technical approach aligns with project constraints and team capabilities
-Challenge assumptions about user needs and market fit with thought-provoking questions
-
-
-Collaborate with user to refine the architecture, iterating until they're satisfied with the design
-```
-
-โ **Avoid (too prescriptive):**
-
-```xml
-What is your target audience age range? Choose: 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45+
-List exactly 3 key features in priority order
-```
-
-**When to use Intent-Based:**
-
-- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements gathering)
-- Creative brainstorming and ideation
-- Iterative refinement workflows
-- When user input quality matters more than consistency
-- Workflows requiring adaptation to context
-
-**Prescriptive Instructions (Use selectively):**
-
-Provide exact wording, specific options, and controlled interactions.
-
-โ **Good Examples:**
-
-```xml
-
-What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web
-Select monetization model: Premium, Free-to-Play, Subscription, Ad-Supported
-
-
-Does this comply with GDPR requirements? [yes/no]
-Choose documentation standard: JSDoc, TypeDoc, TSDoc
-
-
-Do you want to generate test cases? [yes/no]
-Include performance benchmarks? [yes/no]
-```
-
-โ **Avoid (too rigid for complex tasks):**
-
-```xml
-What are your product goals? List exactly 5 goals, each 10-15 words
-Describe your user persona in exactly 3 sentences
-```
-
-**When to use Prescriptive:**
-
-- Simple data collection (platform, format, yes/no choices)
-- Compliance verification and standards adherence
-- Configuration with finite options
-- When consistency is critical across all executions
-- Quick setup wizards
-
-**Mixing Both Styles (Best Practice):**
-
-Even if user chose a primary style, use the other when appropriate:
-
-```xml
-
-
- Explore the user's vision for their game, uncovering their creative intent and target experience
- Ask probing questions about genre, themes, and emotional tone they want to convey
-
-
-
- What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web
- Select primary genre: Action, RPG, Strategy, Puzzle, Simulation, Other
-
-
-
- Guide user to articulate their core gameplay loop, exploring mechanics and player agency
- Help them identify what makes their game unique and compelling
-
-```
-
-**Guidelines for the chosen style:**
-
-If user chose **Intent-Based**:
-
-- Default to goal-oriented tags
-- Use open-ended guidance language
-- Save prescriptive tags for simple data/choices
-- Focus on "guide", "explore", "help user", "validate"
-- Allow LLM to adapt questions to user responses
-
-If user chose **Prescriptive**:
-
-- Default to explicit tags with clear options
-- Use precise wording for consistency
-- Save intent-based tags for complex discovery
-- Focus on "choose", "select", "specify", "confirm"
-- Provide structured choices when possible
-
-**Remember:** The goal is optimal human-AI collaboration. Use whichever style best serves the user at each step.
-
-Save location:
-
-- Write to {{output_folder}}/instructions.md
-
-
-
-Load and use the template at: {template_template}
-
-Generate the template.md file following guide conventions:
-
-1. Document structure with clear sections
-2. Variable syntax: {{variable_name}} using snake_case
-3. Variable names MUST match tags exactly from instructions
-4. Include standard metadata header (optional - config variables available):
-
- ```markdown
- # Document Title
-
- **Date:** {{date}}
-
- **Author:** {{user_name}}
- ```
-
- Note: {{date}} and {{user_name}} are optional in headers. Primary purpose of these variables:
- - {{date}} - Gives agent current date awareness (not confused with training cutoff)
- - {{user_name}} - Optional author attribution
- - {{communication_language}} - NOT for document output! Tells agent how to communicate during execution
-
-5. Follow naming conventions from guide:
- - Use descriptive names: {{primary_user_journey}} not {{puj}}
- - Snake_case for all variables
- - Match instruction outputs precisely
-
-Variable sources as per guide:
-
-- workflow.yaml config values (user_name, communication_language, date, output_folder)
-- User input runtime values
-- Step outputs via
-- System variables (date, paths)
-
-Standard config variables in templates:
-
-Templates CAN optionally use these config variables:
-
-- {{user_name}} - Document author (optional)
-- {{date}} - Generation date (optional)
-
-IMPORTANT: {{communication_language}} is NOT for document headers!
-
-- Purpose: Tells agent how to communicate with user during workflow execution
-- NOT for: Document output language or template headers
-- Future: {{document_output_language}} will handle multilingual document generation
-
-These variables are automatically available from workflow.yaml config block.
-
-Save location:
-
-- Write to {{output_folder}}/template.md
-
-
-
-Ask if user wants a validation checklist. If yes:
-
-Load and use the template at: {template_checklist}
-
-Create checklist.md following guide best practices:
-
-1. Make criteria MEASURABLE and SPECIFIC
- โ "- [ ] Good documentation"
- โ "- [ ] Each function has JSDoc comments with parameters and return types"
-
-2. Group checks logically:
- - Structure: All sections present, no placeholders, proper formatting
- - Content Quality: Clear and specific, technically accurate, consistent terminology
- - Completeness: Ready for next phase, dependencies documented, action items defined
-
-3. Include workflow-specific validations based on type:
- - Document workflows: Template variables mapped, sections complete
- - Action workflows: Actions clearly defined, error handling specified
- - Interactive: User prompts clear, decision points documented
-
-4. Add final validation section with issue lists
-
-Save location:
-
-- Write to {{output_folder}}/checklist.md
-
-
-
-Ask if any supporting data files are needed:
-- CSV files with data
-- Example documents
-- Reference materials
-
-If yes, create placeholder files or copy from templates.
-
-
-
-Review the created workflow:
-
-**Basic Validation:**
-
-1. Verify all file paths are correct
-2. Check variable names match between files
-3. Ensure step numbering is sequential
-4. Validate YAML syntax
-5. Confirm all placeholders are replaced
-
-**Standard Config Validation:**
-
-6. Verify workflow.yaml contains standard config block:
-
-- config_source defined
-- output_folder, user_name, communication_language pulled from config
-- date set to system-generated
-
-7. Check instructions use config variables where appropriate
-8. Verify template includes config variables in metadata (if document workflow)
-
-**YAML/Instruction/Template Alignment:**
-
-9. Cross-check all workflow.yaml variables against instruction usage:
-
-- Are all yaml variables referenced in instructions.md OR template.md?
-- Are there hardcoded values that should be variables?
-- Do template variables match tags in instructions?
-
-10. Identify any unused yaml fields (bloat detection)
-
-Show user a summary of created files and their locations.
-Ask if they want to:
-
-- Test run the workflow
-- Make any adjustments
-- Add additional steps or features
-
-
-
-Will this workflow need to be deployable as a web bundle? [yes/no]
-
-If yes:
-Explain web bundle requirements:
-
-- Web bundles are self-contained and cannot use config_source variables
-- All files must be explicitly listed in web_bundle_files
-- File paths use {bmad_folder}/ root (not {project-root})
-
-Configure web_bundle section in workflow.yaml:
-
-1. Copy core workflow metadata (name, description, author)
-2. Convert all file paths to {bmad_folder}/-relative paths:
- - Remove {project-root}/ prefix
- - Remove {config_source} references (use hardcoded values)
- - Example: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/x" โ "{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/x"
-
-3. List ALL referenced files by scanning:
-
- **Scan instructions.md for:**
- - File paths in tags
- - Data files (CSV, JSON, YAML, etc.)
- - Validation/checklist files
- - Any calls โ must include that workflow's yaml file
- - Any tags that reference other workflows
- - Shared templates or includes
-
- **Scan template.md for:**
- - Any includes or references to other files
- - Shared template fragments
-
- **Critical: Workflow Dependencies**
- - If instructions call another workflow, that workflow's yaml MUST be in web_bundle_files
- - Example: `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/x/workflow.yaml`
- โ Add "{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/x/workflow.yaml" to web_bundle_files
-
-4. Create web_bundle_files array with complete list
-
-Example:
-
-```yaml
-web_bundle:
- name: '{workflow_name}'
- description: '{workflow_description}'
- author: '{author}'
- instructions: '{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/instructions.md'
- validation: '{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/checklist.md'
- template: '{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/template.md'
-
- # Any data files (no config_source)
- data_file: '{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/data.csv'
-
- web_bundle_files:
- - '{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/instructions.md'
- - '{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/checklist.md'
- - '{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/template.md'
- - '{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/data.csv'
- # Add every single file referenced anywhere
-
- # CRITICAL: If this workflow invokes other workflows, use existing_workflows
- # This signals the bundler to recursively include those workflows' web_bundles
- existing_workflows:
- - workflow_variable_name: '{bmad_folder}/path/to/workflow.yaml'
-```
-
-**Example with existing_workflows:**
-
-```yaml
-web_bundle:
- name: 'brainstorm-game'
- description: 'Game brainstorming with CIS workflow'
- author: 'BMad'
- instructions: '{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/brainstorm-game/instructions.md'
- template: false
- web_bundle_files:
- - '{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/brainstorm-game/instructions.md'
- - '{bmad_folder}/mmm/workflows/brainstorm-game/game-context.md'
- - '{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml'
- existing_workflows:
- - core_brainstorming: '{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml'
-```
-
-**What existing_workflows does:**
-
-- Tells the bundler this workflow invokes another workflow
-- Bundler recursively includes the invoked workflow's entire web_bundle
-- Essential for meta-workflows that orchestrate other workflows
-- Maps workflow variable names to their {bmad_folder}/-relative paths
-
-Validate web bundle completeness:
-
-- Ensure no {config_source} variables remain
-- Verify all file paths are listed
-- Check that paths are {bmad_folder}/-relative
-- If workflow uses , add to existing_workflows
-
-web_bundle_config
-
-
-
-Create a brief README for the workflow folder explaining purpose, how to invoke, expected inputs, generated outputs, and any special requirements
-
-Provide {user_name} with workflow completion summary in {communication_language}:
-
-- Location of created workflow: {{output_folder}}
-- Command to run it: `workflow {workflow_name}`
-- Next steps:
- - Run the BMAD Method installer to this project location
- - Select 'Compile Agents (Quick rebuild of all agent .md files)' after confirming the folder
- - This will compile the new workflow and make it available for use

+# Step 1: Workflow Creation Initialization
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+To initialize the workflow creation process by understanding project context, determining a unique workflow name, and preparing for collaborative workflow design.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ๐ CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- โ You are a workflow architect and systems designer
+- โ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- โ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- โ You bring workflow design expertise, user brings their specific requirements
+- โ Together we will create a structured, repeatable workflow
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus ONLY on initialization and project understanding
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to start designing workflow steps in this step
+- ๐ฌ Ask questions conversationally to understand context
+- ๐ช ENSURE unique workflow naming to avoid conflicts
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Show analysis before taking any action
+- ๐พ Initialize document and update frontmatter
+- ๐ Set up frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1]` before loading next step
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to load next step until initialization is complete
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Variables from workflow.md are available in memory
+- Previous context = what's in output document + frontmatter
+- Don't assume knowledge from other steps
+- Input discovery happens in this step
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Project Discovery
+
+Welcome the user and understand their needs:
+"Welcome! I'm excited to help you create a new workflow. Let's start by understanding what you want to build."
+
+Ask conversationally:
+
+- What type of workflow are you looking to create?
+- What problem will this workflow solve?
+- Who will use this workflow?
+- What module will it belong to (bmb, bmm, cis, custom, stand-alone)?
+
+Also, Ask / suggest a workflow name / folder: (kebab-case, e.g., "user-story-generator")
+
+### 2. Ensure Unique Workflow Name
+
+After getting the workflow name:
+
+**Check for existing workflows:**
+
+- Look for folder at `{custom_workflow_location}/{new_workflow_name}/`
+- If it exists, inform the user and suggest or get from them a unique name or postfix
+
+**Example alternatives:**
+
+- Original: "user-story-generator"
+- Alternatives: "user-story-creator", "user-story-generator-2025", "user-story-generator-enhanced"
+
+**Loop until we have a unique name that doesn't conflict.**
+
+### 3. Determine Target Location
+
+Based on the module selection, confirm the target location:
+
+- For bmb module: `{custom_workflow_location}` (defaults to `{bmad_folder}/custom/src/workflows`)
+- For other modules: Check their install-config.yaml for custom workflow locations
+- Confirm the exact folder path where the workflow will be created
+- Store the confirmed path as `{targetWorkflowPath}`
+
+### 4. Create Workflow Plan Document
+
+Create the workflow plan document at `{workflowPlanFile}` with the following initial content:
+
+```markdown
+---
+stepsCompleted: [1]
+---
+
+# Workflow Creation Plan: {new_workflow_name}
+
+## Initial Project Context
+
+- **Module:** [module from user]
+- **Target Location:** {targetWorkflowPath}
+- **Created:** [current date]
+```
+
+This plan will capture all requirements and design details before building the actual workflow.
+
+### 5. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: **Proceeding to requirements gathering...**
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- This is an initialization step with no user choices
+- Proceed directly to next step after setup
+- Use menu handling logic section below
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- After setup completion and the workflow folder with the workflow plan file created already, only then immediately load, read entire file, and then execute `{workflow_path}/steps/step-02-gather.md` to begin requirements gathering
+
+---
+
+## ๐จ SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### โ SUCCESS:
+
+- Workflow name confirmed and validated
+- Target folder location determined
+- User welcomed and project context understood
+- Ready to proceed to step 2
+
+### โ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Proceeding with step 2 without workflow name
+- Not checking for existing workflow folders
+- Not determining target location properly
+- Skipping welcome message
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.

+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Workflow name and target location from initialization
+- Focus ONLY on collecting requirements and understanding needs
+- Don't provide workflow designs in this step
+- This is about understanding, not designing
+
+## REQUIREMENTS GATHERING PROCESS:
+
+### 1. Workflow Purpose and Scope
+
+Explore through conversation:
+
+- What specific problem will this workflow solve?
+- Who is the primary user of this workflow?
+- What is the main outcome or deliverable?
+
+### 2. Workflow Type Classification
+
+Help determine the workflow type:
+
+- **Document Workflow**: Generates documents (PRDs, specs, plans)
+- **Action Workflow**: Performs actions (refactoring, tools orchestration)
+- **Interactive Workflow**: Guided sessions (brainstorming, coaching, training, practice)
+- **Autonomous Workflow**: Runs without human input (batch processing, multi-step tasks)
+- **Meta-Workflow**: Coordinates other workflows
+
+### 3. Workflow Flow and Step Structure
+
+Let's load some examples to help you decide the workflow pattern:
+
+Load and reference the Meal Prep & Nutrition Plan workflow as an example:
+
+```
+Read: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/reference/workflows/meal-prep-nutrition/workflow.md
+```
+
+This shows a linear workflow structure. Now let's explore your desired pattern:
+
+- Should this be a linear workflow (step 1 โ step 2 โ step 3 โ finish)?
+- Or should it have loops/repeats (e.g., keep generating items until user says done)?
+- Are there branching points based on user choices?
+- Should some steps be optional?
+- How many logical phases does this workflow need? (e.g., Gather โ Design โ Validate โ Generate)
+
+**Based on our reference examples:**
+
+- **Linear**: Like Meal Prep Plan (Init โ Profile โ Assessment โ Strategy โ Shopping โ Prep)
+ - See: `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/reference/workflows/meal-prep-nutrition/`
+- **Looping**: User Story Generator (Generate โ Review โ Refine โ Generate more... until done)
+- **Branching**: Architecture Decision (Analyze โ Choose pattern โ Implement based on choice)
+- **Iterative**: Document Review (Load โ Analyze โ Suggest changes โ Implement โ Repeat until approved)
+
+### 4. User Interaction Style
+
+Understand the desired interaction level:
+
+- How much user input is needed during execution?
+- Should it be highly collaborative or mostly autonomous?
+- Are there specific decision points where user must choose?
+- Should the workflow adapt to user responses?
+
+### 5. Instruction Style (Intent-Based vs Prescriptive)
+
+Determine how the AI should execute in this workflow:
+
+**Intent-Based (Recommended for most workflows)**:
+
+- Steps describe goals and principles, letting the AI adapt conversation naturally
+- More flexible, conversational, responsive to user context
+- Example: "Guide user to define their requirements through open-ended discussion"
+
+**Prescriptive**:
+
+- Steps provide exact instructions and specific text to use
+- More controlled, predictable, consistent across runs
+- Example: "Ask: 'What is your primary goal? Choose from: A) Growth B) Efficiency C) Quality'"
+
+Which style does this workflow need, or should it be a mix of both?
+
+### 6. Input Requirements
+
+Identify what the workflow needs:
+
+- What documents or data does the workflow need to start?
+- Are there prerequisites or dependencies?
+- Will users need to provide specific information?
+- Are there optional inputs that enhance the workflow?
+
+### 7. Output Specifications
+
+Define what the workflow produces:
+
+- What is the primary output (document, action, decision)?
+- Are there intermediate outputs or checkpoints?
+- Should outputs be saved automatically?
+- What format should outputs be in?
+
+### 8. Success Criteria
+
+Define what makes the workflow successful:
+
+- How will you know the workflow achieved its goal?
+- What are the quality criteria for outputs?
+- Are there measurable outcomes?
+- What would make a user satisfied with the result?
+
+#### STORE REQUIREMENTS:
+
+After collecting all requirements, append them to {workflowPlanFile} in a format that will be be used later to design in more detail and create the workflow structure.
+
+### 9. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: **Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+- Use menu handling logic section below
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}
+- IF C: Append requirements to {workflowPlanFile}, update frontmatter, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#8-present-menu-options)
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN C is selected and requirements are stored in the output file, will you then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile} to execute and begin workflow structure design step.
+
+---
+
+## ๐จ SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### โ SUCCESS:
+
+- Requirements collected through conversation (not interrogation)
+- All workflow aspects documented
+- Requirements stored using template
+- Menu presented and user input handled correctly
+
+### โ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Generating workflow designs without requirements
+- Skipping requirement areas
+- Proceeding to next step without 'C' selection
+- Not storing requirements properly
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.

+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- All requirements from step 2 are available
+- Tools configuration from step 3 is complete
+- Focus ONLY on review and approval
+- This is the final check before design phase
+
+## PLAN REVIEW PROCESS:
+
+### 1. Initialize Plan Review
+
+"**Workflow Plan Review**
+
+We've gathered all requirements and configured tools for your workflow. Let's review the complete plan to ensure it meets your needs before we start designing the workflow structure."
+
+### 2. Present Complete Plan Summary
+
+Load and present from {workflowPlanFile}:
+
+"**Complete Workflow Plan: {new_workflow_name}**
+
+**1. Project Overview:**
+
+- [Present workflow purpose, user type, module from plan]
+
+**2. Workflow Requirements:**
+
+- [Present all gathered requirements]
+
+**3. Tools Configuration:**
+
+- [Present selected tools and integration points]
+
+**4. Technical Specifications:**
+
+- [Present technical constraints and requirements]
+
+**5. Success Criteria:**
+
+- [Present success metrics from requirements]"
+
+### 3. Detailed Review by Category
+
+"**Detailed Review:**
+
+**A. Workflow Scope and Purpose**
+
+- Is the workflow goal clearly defined?
+- Are the boundaries appropriate?
+- Any missing requirements?
+
+**B. User Interaction Design**
+
+- Does the interaction style match your needs?
+- Are collaboration points clear?
+- Any adjustments needed?
+
+**C. Tools Integration**
+
+- Are selected tools appropriate for your workflow?
+- Are integration points logical?
+- Any additional tools needed?
+
+**D. Technical Feasibility**
+
+- Are all requirements achievable?
+- Any technical constraints missing?
+- Installation requirements acceptable?"
+
+### 4. Collect Feedback and Refinements
+
+"**Review Feedback:**
+
+Please review each section and provide feedback:
+
+1. What looks good and should stay as-is?
+2. What needs modification or refinement?
+3. What's missing that should be added?
+4. Anything unclear or confusing?"
+
+For each feedback item:
+
+- Document the requested change
+- Discuss implications on workflow design
+- Confirm the refinement with user
+
+### 5. Update Plan with Refinements
+
+Update {workflowPlanFile} with any approved changes:
+
+- Modify requirements section as needed
+- Update tools configuration if changed
+- Add any missing specifications
+- Ensure all changes are clearly documented
+
+### 6. Output Document Check
+
+"**Output Document Check:**
+
+Before we proceed to design, does your workflow produce any output documents or files?
+
+Based on your requirements:
+
+- [Analyze if workflow produces documents/files]
+- Consider: Does it create reports, forms, stories, or any persistent output?"
+
+**If NO:**
+"Great! Your workflow focuses on actions/interactions without document output. We'll proceed directly to designing the workflow steps."
+
+**If YES:**
+"Perfect! Let's design your output format to ensure your workflow produces exactly what you need."
+
+### 7. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: **Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue to Design
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+- Use menu handling logic section below
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}

+# Step 5: Output Format Design
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+To design and document the output format for workflows that produce documents or files, determining whether they need strict templates or flexible formatting.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ๐ CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator

+- โ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- โ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- โ You bring expertise in document design and template creation
+- โ User brings their specific output requirements and preferences
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus ONLY on output format design
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to design workflow steps in this step
+- ๐ฌ Help user understand the format spectrum
+- ๐ซ DO NOT proceed without clear format requirements
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Guide user through format spectrum with examples
+- ๐พ Document format decisions in workflow plan
+- ๐ Update frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]` before loading next step
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to load next step until user selects 'C'
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Approved plan from step 4 is available
+- Focus ONLY on output document formatting
+- Skip this step if workflow produces no documents
+- This step only runs when documents need structure
+
+## OUTPUT FORMAT DESIGN PROCESS:
+
+### 1. Initialize Output Format Discussion
+
+"**Designing Your Output Format**
+
+Based on your approved plan, your workflow will produce output documents. Let's design how these outputs should be formatted."
+
+### 2. Present the Format Spectrum
+
+"**Output Format Spectrum - Where does your workflow fit?**
+
+**Strictly Structured Examples:**
+
+- Government forms - exact fields, precise positions
+- Legal documents - must follow specific templates
+- Technical specifications - required sections, specific formats
+- Compliance reports - mandatory fields, validation rules
+
+**Structured Examples:**
+
+- Project reports - required sections, flexible content
+- Business proposals - consistent format, customizable sections
+- Technical documentation - standard structure, adaptable content
+- Research papers - IMRAD format, discipline-specific variations
+
+**Semi-structured Examples:**
+
+- Character sheets (D&D) - core stats + flexible background
+- Lesson plans - required components, flexible delivery
+- Recipes - ingredients/method format, flexible descriptions
+- Meeting minutes - agenda/attendees/actions, flexible details
+
+**Free-form Examples:**
+
+- Creative stories - narrative flow, minimal structure
+- Blog posts - title/body, organic organization
+- Personal journals - date/entry, free expression
+- Brainstorming outputs - ideas, flexible organization"
+
+### 3. Determine Format Type
+
+"**Which format type best fits your workflow?**
+
+1. **Strict Template** - Must follow exact format with specific fields
+2. **Structured** - Required sections but flexible within each
+3. **Semi-structured** - Core sections plus optional additions
+4. **Free-form** - Content-driven with minimal structure
+
+Please choose 1-4:"
+
+### 4. Deep Dive Based on Choice
+
+#### IF Strict Template (Choice 1):
+
+"**Strict Template Design**
+
+You need exact formatting. Let's define your requirements:
+
+**Template Source Options:**
+A. Upload existing template/image to follow
+B. Create new template from scratch
+C. Use standard form (e.g., government, industry)
+D. AI proposes template based on your needs
+
+**Template Requirements:**
+
+- Exact field names and positions
+- Required vs optional fields
+- Validation rules
+- File format (PDF, DOCX, etc.)
+- Any legal/compliance considerations"
+
+#### IF Structured (Choice 2):
+
+"**Structured Document Design**
+
+You need consistent sections with flexibility:
+
+**Section Definition:**
+
+- What sections are required?
+- Any optional sections?
+- Section ordering rules?
+- Cross-document consistency needs?
+
+**Format Guidelines:**
+
+- Any formatting standards (APA, MLA, corporate)?
+- Section header styles?
+- Content organization principles?"
+
+#### IF Semi-structured (Choice 3):
+
+"**Semi-structured Design**
+
+Core sections with flexibility:
+
+**Core Components:**
+
+- What information must always appear?
+- Which parts can vary?
+- Any organizational preferences?
+
+**Polishing Options:**
+
+- Would you like automatic TOC generation?
+- Summary section at the end?
+- Consistent formatting options?"
+
+#### IF Free-form (Choice 4):
+
+"**Free-form Content Design**
+
+Focus on content with minimal structure:
+
+**Organization Needs:**
+
+- Basic headers for readability?
+- Date/title information?
+- Any categorization needs?
+
+**Final Polish Options:**
+
+- Auto-generated summary?
+- TOC based on content?
+- Formatting for readability?"
+
+### 5. Template Creation (if applicable)
+
+For Strict/Structured workflows:
+
+"**Template Creation Approach:**
+
+A. **Design Together** - We'll create the template step by step
+B. **AI Proposes** - I'll suggest a structure based on your needs
+C. **Import Existing** - Use/upload your existing template
+
+Which approach would you prefer?"
+
+If A or B:
+
+- Design/create template sections
+- Define placeholders
+- Specify field types and validation
+- Document template structure in plan
+
+If C:
+
+- Request file upload or detailed description
+- Analyze template structure
+- Document requirements
+
+### 6. Document Format Decisions
+
+Append to {workflowPlanFile}:
+
+```markdown
+## Output Format Design
+
+**Format Type**: [Strict/Structured/Semi-structured/Free-form]
+
+**Output Requirements**:
+
+- Document type: [report/form/story/etc]
+- File format: [PDF/MD/DOCX/etc]
+- Frequency: [single/batch/continuous]
+
+**Structure Specifications**:
+[Detailed structure based on format type]
+
+**Template Information**:
+
+- Template source: [created/imported/standard]
+- Template file: [path if applicable]
+- Placeholders: [list if applicable]
+
+**Special Considerations**:
+
+- Legal/compliance requirements
+- Validation needs
+- Accessibility requirements
+```

+- Output format design from step 5 (if completed) guides structure
+- Load architecture documentation when needed for guidance
+- Focus ONLY on structure and flow design
+- Don't implement actual files in this step
+- This is about designing the blueprint, not building
+
+## DESIGN REFERENCE MATERIALS:
+
+When designing, you may load these documents as needed:
+
+- `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/workflows/templates/step-template.md` - Step file structure
+- `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/workflows/templates/step-01-init-continuable-template.md` - Continuable init step template
+- `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/workflows/templates/step-1b-template.md` - Continuation step template
+- `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/workflows/templates/workflow-template.md` - Workflow configuration
+- `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/reference/workflows/meal-prep-nutrition/workflow.md` - Complete example
+
+## WORKFLOW DESIGN PROCESS:
+
+### 1. Step Structure Design
+
+Let's reference our step creation documentation for best practices:
+
+Load and reference step-file architecture guide:
+
+```
+Read: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/workflows/templates/step-template.md
+```
+
+This shows the standard structure for step files. Also reference:
+
+```
+Read: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/workflows/templates/step-1b-template.md
+```
+
+This shows the continuation step pattern for workflows that might take multiple sessions.
+
+Based on the approved plan, collaboratively design:
+
+- How many major steps does this workflow need? (Recommend 3-7)
+- What is the goal of each step?
+- Which steps are optional vs required?
+- Should any steps repeat or loop?
+- What are the decision points within steps?
+
+### 1a. Continuation Support Assessment
+
+**Ask the user:**
+"Will this workflow potentially take multiple sessions to complete? Consider:
+
+- Does this workflow generate a document/output file?
+- Might users need to pause and resume the workflow?
+- Does the workflow involve extensive data collection or analysis?
+- Are there complex decisions that might require multiple sessions?
+
+If **YES** to any of these, we should include continuation support using step-01b-continue.md."
+
+**If continuation support is needed:**
+
+- Include step-01-init.md (with continuation detection logic)
+- Include step-01b-continue.md (for resuming workflows)
+- Ensure every step updates `stepsCompleted` in output frontmatter
+- Design the workflow to persist state between sessions
+
+### 2. Interaction Pattern Design
+
+Design how users will interact with the workflow:
+
+- Where should users provide input vs where the AI works autonomously?
+- What type of menu options are needed at each step?
+- Should there be Advanced Elicitation or Party Mode options?
+- How will users know their progress?
+- What confirmation points are needed?
+
+### 3. Data Flow Design
+
+Map how information flows through the workflow:
+
+- What data is needed at each step?
+- What outputs does each step produce?
+- How is state tracked between steps?
+- Where are checkpoints and saves needed?
+- How are errors or exceptions handled?
+
+### 4. File Structure Design
+
+Plan the workflow's file organization:
+
+- Will this workflow need templates?
+- Are there data files required?
+- Is a validation checklist needed?
+- What supporting files will be useful?
+- How will variables be managed?
+
+### 5. Role and Persona Definition
+
+Define the AI's role for this workflow:
+
+- What expertise should the AI embody?
+- How should the AI communicate with users?
+- What tone and style is appropriate?
+- How collaborative vs prescriptive should the AI be?
+
+### 6. Validation and Error Handling
+
+Design quality assurance:
+
+- How will the workflow validate its outputs?
+- What happens if a user provides invalid input?
+- Are there checkpoints for review?
+- How can users recover from errors?
+- What constitutes successful completion?
+
+### 7. Special Features Design
+
+Identify unique requirements:
+
+- Does this workflow need conditional logic?
+- Are there branch points based on user choices?
+- Should it integrate with other workflows?
+- Does it need to handle multiple scenarios?
+
+### 8. Design Review and Refinement
+
+Present the design for review:
+
+- Walk through the complete flow
+- Identify potential issues or improvements
+- Ensure all requirements are addressed
+- Get user agreement on the design
+
+## DESIGN PRINCIPLES TO APPLY:
+
+### Micro-File Architecture
+
+- Keep each step focused and self-contained
+- Ensure steps can be loaded independently
+- Design for Just-In-Time loading
+
+### Sequential Flow with Clear Progression
+
+- Each step should build on previous work
+- Include clear decision points
+- Maintain logical progression toward goal
+
+### Menu-Based Interactions
+
+- Include consistent menu patterns
+- Provide clear options at decision points
+- Allow for conversation within steps
+
+### State Management
+
+- Track progress using `stepsCompleted` array
+- Persist state in output file frontmatter
+- Support continuation where appropriate
+
+### 9. Document Design in Plan
+
+Append to {workflowPlanFile}:
+
+- Complete step outline with names and purposes
+- Flow diagram or sequence description
+- Interaction patterns
+- File structure requirements
+- Special features and handling
+
+### 10. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: **Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu

+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Approved plan from step 6 guides implementation
+- Generate files in target workflow location
+- Load templates and documentation as needed during build
+- Follow step-file architecture principles
+
+## BUILD REFERENCE MATERIALS:
+
+- When building each step file, you must follow template `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/workflows/templates/step-template.md`
+- When building continuable step-01-init.md files, use template `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/workflows/templates/step-01-init-continuable-template.md`
+- When building continuation steps, use template `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/workflows/templates/step-1b-template.md`
+- When building the main workflow.md file, you must follow template `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/workflows/templates/workflow-template.md`
+- Example step files from {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/reference/workflows/meal-prep-nutrition/workflow.md for patterns
+
+## FILE GENERATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Confirm Build Readiness
+
+Based on the approved plan, confirm:
+"I have your approved plan and I'm ready to generate the workflow files. The plan specifies creating:
+
+- Main workflow.md file
+- [Number] step files
+- [Number] templates
+- Supporting files
+
+All in: {targetWorkflowPath}
+
+Ready to proceed?"
+
+### 2. Create Directory Structure
+
+Create the workflow folder structure in the target location:
+
+```
+{custom_workflow_location}/{workflow_name}/
+โโโ workflow.md
+โโโ steps/
+โ โโโ step-01-init.md
+โ โโโ step-01b-continue.md (if continuation support needed)
+โ โโโ step-02-[name].md
+โ โโโ ...
+โโโ templates/
+โ โโโ [as needed]
+โโโ data/
+ โโโ [as needed]
+```
+
+For bmb module, this will be: `{bmad_folder}/custom/src/workflows/{workflow_name}/`
+For other modules, check their install-config.yaml for custom_workflow_location
+
+### 3. Generate workflow.md
+
+Load and follow {workflowTemplate}:
+
+- Create workflow.md using template structure
+- Insert workflow name and description
+- Configure all path variables ({project-root}, {_bmad_folder_}, {workflow_path})
+- Set web_bundle flag to true unless user has indicated otherwise
+- Define role and goal
+- Include initialization path to step-01
+
+### 4. Generate Step Files
+
+#### 4a. Check for Continuation Support
+
+**Check the workflow plan for continuation support:**
+
+- Look for "continuation support: true" or similar flag
+- Check if step-01b-continue.md was included in the design
+- If workflow generates output documents, continuation is typically needed
+
+#### 4b. Generate step-01-init.md (with continuation logic)
+
+If continuation support is needed:
+
+- Load and follow {stepInitContinuableTemplate}
+- This template automatically includes all required continuation detection logic
+- Customize with workflow-specific information:
+ - Update workflow_path references
+ - Set correct outputFile and templateFile paths
+ - Adjust role and persona to match workflow type
+ - Customize welcome message for workflow context
+ - Configure input document discovery patterns (if any)
+- Template automatically handles:
+ - continueFile reference in frontmatter
+ - Logic to check for existing output files with stepsCompleted
+ - Routing to step-01b-continue.md for continuation
+ - Fresh workflow initialization
+
+#### 4c. Generate step-01b-continue.md (if needed)
+
+**If continuation support is required:**
+
+- Load and follow {step1bTemplate}
+- Customize with workflow-specific information:
+ - Update workflow_path references
+ - Set correct outputFile path
+ - Adjust role and persona to match workflow type
+ - Customize welcome back message for workflow context
+- Ensure proper nextStep detection logic based on step numbers
+
+#### 4d. Generate Remaining Step Files
+
+For each remaining step in the design:
+
+- Load and follow {stepTemplate}
+- Create step file using template structure
+- Customize with step-specific content
+- Ensure proper frontmatter with path references
+- Include appropriate menu handling and universal rules
+- Follow all mandatory rules and protocols from template
+- **Critical**: Ensure each step updates `stepsCompleted` array when completing
+
+### 5. Generate Templates (If Needed)
+
+For document workflows:
+
+- Create template.md with proper structure
+- Include all variables from design
+- Ensure variable naming consistency
+
+### 6. Generate Supporting Files
+
+Based on design requirements:
+
+- Create data files (csv)
+- Generate README.md with usage instructions
+- Create any configuration files
+- Add validation checklists if designed
+
+### 7. Verify File Generation
+
+After creating all files:
+
+- Check all file paths are correct
+- Validate frontmatter syntax
+- Ensure variable consistency across files
+- Confirm sequential step numbering
+- Verify menu handling logic
+
+### 8. Document Generated Files
+
+Create a summary of what was generated:
+
+- List all files created with full paths
+- Note any customizations from templates
+- Identify any manual steps needed
+- Provide next steps for testing
+
+## QUALITY CHECKS DURING BUILD:
+
+### Frontmatter Validation
+
+- All YAML syntax is correct
+- Required fields are present
+- Path variables use correct format
+- No hardcoded paths exist
+
+### Step File Compliance
+
+- Each step follows the template structure
+- All mandatory rules are included
+- Menu handling is properly implemented
+- Step numbering is sequential
+
+### Cross-File Consistency
+
+- Variable names match across files
+- Path references are consistent
+- Dependencies are correctly defined
+- No orphaned references exist
+
+## BUILD PRINCIPLES:
+
+### Follow Design Exactly
+
+- Implement the design as approved
+- Don't add or remove steps without consultation
+- Maintain the interaction patterns designed
+- Preserve the data flow architecture
+
+### Maintain Best Practices
+
+- Keep step files focused and reasonably sized (typically 5-10KB)
+- Use collaborative dialogue patterns
+- Include proper error handling
+- Follow naming conventions
+
+### Ensure Extensibility
+
+- Design for future modifications
+- Include clear documentation
+- Make code readable and maintainable
+- Provide examples where helpful
+
+## CONTENT TO APPEND TO PLAN:
+
+After generating all files, append to {workflowPlanFile}:
+
+Create a build summary including:
+
+- List of all files created with full paths
+- Any customizations from templates
+- Manual steps needed
+- Next steps for testing
+
+### 9. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: **Build Complete - Select an Option:** [C] Continue to Review
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- Build complete - all files generated
+- Present simple completion status
+- User selects [C] to continue to review step
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF C: Save build summary to {workflowPlanFile}, update frontmatter, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: respond and redisplay menu
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN C is selected and content is saved to plan and frontmatter is updated, will you then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile} to execute and begin workflow review step.
+
+---
+
+## ๐จ SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### โ SUCCESS:
+

-10. [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### Minimal Workflow (3 minutes)
-
-Create a folder with these files:
-
-```yaml
-# workflow.yaml (REQUIRED)
-name: 'my-workflow'
-description: 'What this workflow does'
-installed_path: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/module/workflows/my-workflow'
-template: '{installed_path}/template.md'
-instructions: '{installed_path}/instructions.md'
-default_output_file: '{output_folder}/output.md'
-
-standalone: true
-```
-
-```markdown
-# template.md
-
-# {{project_name}} Output
-
-{{main_content}}
-```
-
-```markdown
-# instructions.md
-
-The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project_root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml
-You MUST have already loaded and processed: workflow.yaml
-
-
-
- Create the main content for this document.
- main_content
-
-
-```
-
-That's it! To execute, tell the BMAD agent: `workflow path/to/my-workflow/`
-
-## Core Concepts
-
-### Tasks vs Workflows
-
-| Aspect | Task | Workflow |
-| -------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------- |
-| **Purpose** | Single operation | Multi-step process |
-| **Format** | XML | Folder with YAML config |
-| **Location** | `/src/core/tasks/` | `/{bmad_folder}/*/workflows/` |
-| **User Input** | Minimal | Extensive |
-| **Output** | Variable | Usually documents |
-
-### Workflow Types
-
-1. **Document Workflows** - Generate PRDs, specs, architectures
-2. **Action Workflows** - Refactor code, run tools, orchestrate tasks
-3. **Interactive Workflows** - Brainstorming, meditations, guided sessions
-4. **Autonomous Workflows** - Run without human input (story generation)
-5. **Meta-Workflows** - Coordinate other workflows
-
-## Workflow Structure
-
-### Required Files
-
-```
-my-workflow/
- โโโ workflow.yaml # REQUIRED - Configuration
-```
-
-### Optional Files
-
-```
-my-workflow/
- โโโ template.md # Document structure
- โโโ instructions.md # Step-by-step guide
- โโโ checklist.md # Validation criteria
- โโโ [data files] # Supporting resources, xml, md, csv or others
-```
-
-### workflow.yaml Configuration
-
-```yaml
-# Basic metadata
-name: 'workflow-name'
-description: 'Clear purpose statement'
-
-# Paths
-installed_path: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/module/workflows/name'
-template: '{installed_path}/template.md' # or false
-instructions: '{installed_path}/instructions.md' # or false
-validation: '{installed_path}/checklist.md' # optional
-
-# Output
-default_output_file: '{output_folder}/document.md'
-
-# Advanced options
-recommended_inputs: # Expected input docs
- - input_doc: 'path/to/doc.md'
-
-# Invocation control
-standalone: true # Can be invoked directly (default: true)
-```
-
-### Standalone Property: Invocation Control
-
-**CRITICAL**: The `standalone` property controls whether a workflow, task, or tool can be invoked independently or must be called through an agent's menu.
-
-#### For Workflows (workflow.yaml)
-
-```yaml
-standalone: true # Can invoke directly: /workflow-name or via IDE command
-standalone: false # Must be called from an agent menu or another workflow
-```
-
-**When to use `standalone: true` (DEFAULT)**:
-
-- โ User-facing workflows that should be directly accessible
-- โ Workflows invoked via IDE commands or CLI
-- โ Workflows that users will run independently
-- โ Most document generation workflows (PRD, architecture, etc.)
-- โ Action workflows users trigger directly (refactor, analyze, etc.)
-- โ Entry-point workflows for a module
-
-**When to use `standalone: false`**:
-
-- โ Sub-workflows only called by other workflows (via ``)
-- โ Internal utility workflows not meant for direct user access
-- โ Workflows that require specific context from parent workflow
-- โ Helper workflows that don't make sense alone
-
-**Examples**:
-
-```yaml
-# Standalone: User invokes directly
-name: 'plan-project'
-description: 'Create PRD/GDD for any project'
-standalone: true # Users run this directly
-
----
-# Non-standalone: Only called by parent workflow
-name: 'validate-requirements'
-description: 'Internal validation helper for PRD workflow'
-standalone: false # Only invoked by plan-project workflow
-```
-
-#### For Tasks and Tools (XML files)
-
-Tasks and tools in `src/core/tasks/` and `src/core/tools/` also support the standalone attribute:
-
-```xml
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-```
-
-**Task/Tool Standalone Guidelines**:
-
-- `standalone="true"`: Core tasks like workflow.xml, create-doc.xml that users/agents invoke directly
-- `standalone="false"`: Internal helpers, utilities only called by other tasks/workflows
-
-#### Default Behavior
-
-**If standalone property is omitted**:
-
-- Workflows: Default to `standalone: true` (accessible directly)
-- Tasks/Tools: Default to `standalone: true` (accessible directly)
-
-**Best Practice**: Explicitly set standalone even if using default to make intent clear.
-
-#### Invocation Patterns
-
-**Standalone workflows can be invoked**:
-
-1. Directly by users: `/workflow-name` or IDE command
-2. From agent menus: `workflow: "{path}/workflow.yaml"`
-3. From other workflows: ``
-
-**Non-standalone workflows**:
-
-1. โ Cannot be invoked directly by users
-2. โ Cannot be called from IDE commands
-3. โ Can be invoked by other workflows via ``
-4. โ Can be called from agent menu items
-
-#### Module Design Implications
-
-**Typical Module Pattern**:
-
-```yaml
-# Entry-point workflows: standalone: true
-bmm/workflows/plan-project/workflow.yaml โ standalone: true
-bmm/workflows/architecture/workflow.yaml โ standalone: true
-
-# Helper workflows: standalone: false
-bmm/workflows/internal/validate-epic/workflow.yaml โ standalone: false
-bmm/workflows/internal/format-story/workflow.yaml โ standalone: false
-```
-
-**Benefits of this pattern**:
-
-- Clear separation between user-facing and internal workflows
-- Prevents users from accidentally invoking incomplete/internal workflows
-- Cleaner IDE command palette (only shows standalone workflows)
-- Better encapsulation and maintainability
-
-### Common Patterns
-
-**Full Document Workflow** (most common)
-
-- Has: All 4 files
-- Use for: PRDs, architectures, specs
-
-**Action Workflow** (no template)
-
-- Has: workflow.yaml + instructions.md
-- Use for: Refactoring, tool orchestration
-
-**Autonomous Workflow** (no interaction)
-
-- Has: workflow.yaml + template + instructions
-- Use for: Automated generation
-
-## Writing Instructions
-
-### Instruction Styles: Intent-Based vs Prescriptive
-
-**CRITICAL DESIGN DECISION**: Choose your instruction style early - it fundamentally shapes the user experience.
-
-#### Default Recommendation: Intent-Based (Adaptive)
-
-**Intent-based workflows give the AI goals and principles, letting it adapt the conversation naturally to the user's context.** This is the BMAD v6 default for most workflows.
-
-#### The Two Approaches
-
-##### 1. Intent-Based Instructions (RECOMMENDED)
-
-**What it is**: Guide the AI with goals, principles, and context - let it determine the best way to interact with each user.
-
-**Characteristics**:
-
-- Uses `` tags with guiding instructions
-- Focuses on WHAT to accomplish and WHY it matters
-- Lets AI adapt conversation to user needs
-- More flexible and conversational
-- Better for complex discovery and iterative refinement
-
-**When to use**:
-
-- Complex discovery processes (requirements gathering, architecture design)
-- Creative brainstorming and ideation
-- Iterative refinement workflows
-- When user input quality matters more than consistency
-- Workflows requiring adaptation to context
-- Teaching/educational workflows
-- When users have varying skill levels
-
-**Example**:
-
-```xml
-
- Engage in collaborative discovery to understand their target users:
-
- Ask open-ended questions to explore:
- - Who will use this product?
- - What problems do they face?
- - What are their goals and motivations?
- - How tech-savvy are they?
-
- Listen for clues about:
- - Demographics and characteristics
- - Pain points and needs
- - Current solutions they use
- - Unmet needs or frustrations
-
- Adapt your depth and terminology to the user's responses.
- If they give brief answers, dig deeper with follow-ups.
- If they're uncertain, help them think through it with examples.
-
-
- target_audience
-
-```
-
-**Intent-based workflow adapts**:
-
-- **Expert user** might get: "Tell me about your target users - demographics, pain points, and technical profile?"
-- **Beginner user** might get: "Let's talk about who will use this. Imagine your ideal customer - what do they look like? What problem are they trying to solve?"
-
-##### 2. Prescriptive Instructions (Use Selectively)
-
-**What it is**: Provide exact wording for questions and specific options for answers.
-
-**Characteristics**:
-
-- Uses `` tags with exact question text
-- Provides specific options or formats
-- More controlled and predictable
-- Ensures consistency across runs
-- Better for simple data collection or compliance needs
-
-**When to use**:
-
-- Simple data collection (platform choice, format selection)
-- Compliance verification and standards adherence
-- Configuration with finite, well-defined options
-- When consistency is critical across all executions
-- Quick setup wizards
-- Binary decisions (yes/no, enable/disable)
-- When gathering specific required fields
-
-**Example**:
-
-```xml
-
- What is your target platform?
-
- 1. Web (browser-based application)
- 2. Mobile (iOS/Android native apps)
- 3. Desktop (Windows/Mac/Linux applications)
- 4. CLI (command-line tool)
- 5. API (backend service)
-
- Enter the number (1-5):
-
- Store the platform choice as {{target_platform}}
- target_platform
-
-```
-
-**Prescriptive workflow stays consistent** - every user gets the same 5 options in the same format.
-
-#### Best Practice: Mix Both Styles
-
-**Even predominantly intent-based workflows should use prescriptive moments** for simple choices. Even prescriptive workflows can have intent-based discovery.
-
-**Example of effective mixing**:
-
-```xml
-
-
- Explore the user's vision through open conversation:
-
- Help them articulate:
- - The core problem they're solving
- - Their unique approach or innovation
- - The experience they want to create
-
- Adapt your questions based on their expertise and communication style.
- If they're visionary, explore the "why". If they're technical, explore the "how".
-
- vision
-
-
-
-
- What is your target platform? Choose one:
- - Web
- - Mobile
- - Desktop
- - CLI
- - API
-
- Store as {{platform}}
-
-
-
-
- Facilitate collaborative UX design:
-
- Guide them to explore:
- - User journey and key flows
- - Interaction patterns and affordances
- - Visual/aesthetic direction
-
- Use their platform choice from step 2 to inform relevant patterns.
- For web: discuss responsive design. For mobile: touch interactions. Etc.
-
- ux_design
-
-```
-
-#### Interactivity Levels
-
-Beyond style (intent vs prescriptive), consider **how interactive** your workflow should be:
-
-##### High Interactivity (Collaborative)
-
-- Constant back-and-forth with user
-- Multiple asks per step
-- Iterative refinement and review
-- User guides the direction
-- **Best for**: Creative work, complex decisions, learning
-
-**Example**:
-
-```xml
-
- Collaborate on feature definitions:
-
- For each feature the user proposes:
- - Help them articulate it clearly
- - Explore edge cases together
- - Consider implications and dependencies
- - Refine the description iteratively
-
- After each feature: "Want to refine this, add another, or move on?"
-
-
-```
-
-##### Medium Interactivity (Guided)
-
-- Key decision points have interaction
-- AI proposes, user confirms or refines
-- Validation checkpoints
-- **Best for**: Most document workflows, structured processes
-
-**Example**:
-
-```xml
-
- Based on the PRD, identify 10-15 key architectural decisions needed
- For each decision, research options and present recommendation
- Approve this decision or propose alternative?
- Record decision and rationale
-
-```
-
-##### Low Interactivity (Autonomous)
-
-- Minimal user input required
-- AI works independently with guidelines
-- User reviews final output
-- **Best for**: Automated generation, batch processing
-
-**Example**:
-
-```xml
-
- For each epic in the PRD, generate 3-7 user stories following this pattern:
- - As a [user type]
- - I want to [action]
- - So that [benefit]
-
- Ensure stories are:
- - Independently valuable
- - Testable
- - Sized appropriately (1-5 days of work)
-
-
- user_stories
-
-
-
- Review the generated user stories. Want to refine any? (y/n)
-
- Regenerate with feedback
-
-
-```
-
-#### Decision Framework
-
-**Choose Intent-Based when**:
-
-- โ User knowledge/skill level varies
-- โ Context matters (one-size-fits-all won't work)
-- โ Discovery and exploration are important
-- โ Quality of input matters more than consistency
-- โ Teaching/education is part of the goal
-- โ Iteration and refinement expected
-
-**Choose Prescriptive when**:
-
-- โ Options are finite and well-defined
-- โ Consistency across users is critical
-- โ Compliance or standards matter
-- โ Simple data collection
-- โ Users just need to make a choice and move on
-- โ Speed matters more than depth
-
-**Choose High Interactivity when**:
-
-- โ User expertise is essential
-- โ Creative collaboration needed
-- โ Decisions have major implications
-- โ Learning and understanding matter
-- โ Iteration is expected
-
-**Choose Low Interactivity when**:
-
-- โ Process is well-defined and repeatable
-- โ AI can work autonomously with clear guidelines
-- โ User time is constrained
-- โ Batch processing or automation desired
-- โ Review-and-refine model works
-
-#### Implementation Guidelines
-
-**For Intent-Based Workflows**:
-
-1. **Use `` tags with guiding instructions**
-
-```xml
-Facilitate discovery of {{topic}}:
-
-Ask open-ended questions to explore:
-- {{aspect_1}}
-- {{aspect_2}}
-
-Listen for clues about {{patterns_to_notice}}.
-
-Adapt your approach based on their {{context_factor}}.
-
-```
-
-2. **Provide principles, not scripts**
-
-```xml
-
-Help user articulate their unique value proposition.
-Focus on what makes them different, not just what they do.
-If they struggle, offer examples from analogous domains.
-
-
-What makes your product unique? Provide 2-3 bullet points.
-```
-
-3. **Guide with context and rationale**
-
-```xml
-Now that we understand their {{context_from_previous}},
-explore how {{current_topic}} connects to their vision.
-
-This matters because {{reason_it_matters}}.
-
-If they seem uncertain about {{potential_challenge}}, help them think through {{approach}}.
-
-```
-
-**For Prescriptive Workflows**:
-
-1. **Use `` tags with specific questions**
-
-```xml
-Select your preferred database:
-1. PostgreSQL
-2. MySQL
-3. MongoDB
-4. SQLite
-
-Enter number (1-4):
-```
-
-2. **Provide clear options and formats**
-
-```xml
-Enable user authentication? (yes/no)
-Enter project name (lowercase, no spaces):
-```
-
-3. **Keep it crisp and clear**
-
-```xml
-
-Target platform? (web/mobile/desktop)
-
-
-We need to know what platform you're building for. This will affect
-the technology stack recommendations. Please choose: web, mobile, or desktop.
-```
-
-#### Mixing Styles Within a Workflow
-
-**Pattern: Intent-based discovery โ Prescriptive capture โ Intent-based refinement**
-
-```xml
-
-
- Engage in open conversation to understand user needs deeply...
-
-
-
-
- Expected daily active users? (number)
- Data sensitivity level? (public/internal/sensitive/highly-sensitive)
-
-
-
-
- Collaborate on solution design, using the metrics from step 2 to inform scale and security decisions...
-
-```
-
-**Pattern: Prescriptive setup โ Intent-based execution**
-
-```xml
-
-
- Project type? (web-app/api/cli/library)
- Language? (typescript/python/go/rust)
-
-
-
-
- Now that we know it's a {{project_type}} in {{language}},
- let's explore the architecture in detail.
-
- Guide them through design decisions appropriate for a {{project_type}}...
-
-
-```
-
-### Basic Structure
-
-```markdown
-# instructions.md
-
-The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project_root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml
-You MUST have already loaded and processed: workflow.yaml
-
-
-
-
-Instructions for this step.
-variable_name
-
-
-
-Optional step instructions.
-another_variable
-
-
-
-```
-
-### Step Attributes
-
-- `n="X"` - Step number (required)
-- `goal="..."` - What the step accomplishes (required)
-- `optional="true"` - User can skip
-- `repeat="3"` - Repeat N times
-- `if="condition"` - Conditional execution
-
-### Content Formats
-
-**Markdown Format** (human-friendly):
-
-```xml
-
-Write 1-3 bullet points about project success:
-- User outcomes
-- Business value
-- Measurable results
-
-goals
-
-```
-
-**XML Format** (precise control):
-
-```xml
-
- Load validation criteria
-
- Return to previous step
-
- validated_data
-
-```
-
-## Templates and Variables
-
-### Variable Syntax
-
-```markdown
-# template.md
-
-# {{project_name}} Document
-
-## Section
-
-{{section_content}}
-
-_Generated on {{date}}_
-```
-
-### Variable Sources
-
-1. **workflow.yaml** - Config values
-2. **User input** - Runtime values
-3. **Step outputs** - `` tags
-4. **System** - Date, paths, etc.
-
-### Naming Convention
-
-- Use snake_case: `{{user_requirements}}`
-- Be descriptive: `{{primary_user_journey}}` not `{{puj}}`
-
-## Flow Control
-
-### Sub-Steps
-
-```xml
-
-
- Collect information
-
-
-
- Process collected data
- analysis
-
-
-```
-
-### Repetition
-
-```xml
-
-
- Generate example {{iteration}}
-
-
-
-
- Generate content
- Satisfactory? (y/n)
-
-
-
-
- Define epic {{epic_name}}
-
-```
-
-### Conditional Execution
-
-**Single Action (use `action if=""`):**
-
-```xml
-
- Load existing document
- Initialize from template
-
-```
-
-**Multiple Actions (use `...`):**
-
-```xml
-
- Check requirements
-
- Log validation errors
- Return to gathering
-
-
- Mark as validated
- Proceed
-
-
-```
-
-**When to use which:**
-
-- **``** - Single conditional action (cleaner, more concise)
-- **`...`** - Multiple items under same condition (explicit scope)
-
-**โ CRITICAL ANTIPATTERN - DO NOT USE:**
-
-**Invalid self-closing check tags:**
-
-```xml
-
-If condition met:
-Do something
-
-
-If validation fails:
-Log error
-Retry
-```
-
-**Why this is wrong:**
-
-- Creates invalid XML structure (check tag doesn't wrap anything)
-- Ambiguous - unclear if actions are inside or outside the condition
-- Breaks formatter and parser logic
-- Not part of BMAD workflow spec
-
-**โ CORRECT alternatives:**
-
-```xml
-
-Do something
-
-
-
- Log error
- Retry
-
-```
-
-**Rule:** If you have only ONE conditional action, use ``. If you have MULTIPLE conditional actions, use `...` wrapper with a closing tag.
-
-### Loops
-
-```xml
-
-
- Generate solution
-
- Exit loop
-
-
-
-```
-
-### Common XML Tags
-
-**Execution:**
-
-- `` - Required action
-- `` - Single conditional action (inline)
-- `...` - Conditional block for multiple items (requires closing tag)
-- `` - User prompt
-- `` - Jump to step
-- `` - Call another workflow
-
-**Output:**
-
-- `` - Save checkpoint
-- `` - Important info
-- `` - Show example
-
-## Validation
-
-### checklist.md Structure
-
-```markdown
-# Validation Checklist
-
-## Structure
-
-- [ ] All sections present
-- [ ] No placeholders remain
-- [ ] Proper formatting
-
-## Content Quality
-
-- [ ] Clear and specific
-- [ ] Technically accurate
-- [ ] Consistent terminology
-
-## Completeness
-
-- [ ] Ready for next phase
-- [ ] Dependencies documented
-- [ ] Action items defined
-```
-
-### Making Criteria Measurable
-
-โ `- [ ] Good documentation`
-โ `- [ ] Each function has JSDoc comments with parameters and return types`
-
-## Examples
-
-### Document Generation
-
-```xml
-
-
- Load existing documents and understand project scope.
- context
-
-
-
- Create functional and non-functional requirements.
- requirements
-
-
-
- Check requirements against goals.
- validated_requirements
-
-
-```
-
-### Action Workflow
-
-```xml
-
-
- Find all API endpoints
- Identify patterns
-
-
-
-
- Update to new pattern
-
-
-
-
- Run tests
-
- Fix issues
-
-
-
-```
-
-### Meta-Workflow
-
-```xml
-
-
- product-brief
- brief
-
-
-
- prd
- prd
-
-
-
- architecture
- architecture
-
-
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Design Principles
-
-1. **Keep steps focused** - Single goal per step
-2. **Limit scope** - 5-12 steps maximum
-3. **Build progressively** - Start simple, add detail
-4. **Checkpoint often** - Save after major workflow sections and ensure documents are being drafted from the start
-5. **Make sections optional** - Let users skip when appropriate
-
-### Instruction Guidelines
-
-1. **Be specific** - "Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about"
-2. **Provide examples** - Show expected output format
-3. **Set limits** - "3-5 items maximum"
-4. **Explain why** - Context helps AI make better decisions
-
-### Time Estimate Prohibition
-
-**CRITICAL:** For all planning, analysis, and estimation workflows, include this prohibition:
-
-```xml
-โ ๏ธ ABSOLUTELY NO TIME ESTIMATES - NEVER mention hours, days, weeks, months, or ANY time-based predictions. AI has fundamentally changed development speed - what once took teams weeks/months can now be done by one person in hours. DO NOT give ANY time estimates whatsoever.
-```
-
-**When to include this:**
-
-- Planning workflows (PRDs, tech specs, architecture)
-- Analysis workflows (research, brainstorming, product briefs)
-- Retrospective workflows (reviews, post-mortems)
-- Any workflow discussing project scope or complexity
-
-**When NOT needed:**
-
-- Pure implementation workflows (code generation, refactoring)
-- Simple action workflows (file operations, status updates)
-- Workflows that only process existing data
-
-### Conditional Execution Best Practices
-
-**โ DO:**
-
-- Use `` for single conditional actions
-- Use `...` for blocks with multiple items
-- Always close `` tags explicitly
-- Keep conditions simple and readable
-
-**โ DON'T:**
-
-- Wrap single actions in `` blocks (unnecessarily verbose)
-- Forget to close `` tags
-- Nest too many levels (makes logic hard to follow)
-
-**Examples:**
-
-```xml
-
-Load configuration
-
-
-
- Load configuration
-
-
-
-
- Log error details
- Notify user
- Retry input
-
-```
-
-### Common Pitfalls
-
-- **Missing critical headers** - Always include workflow engine references
-- **Variables not replaced** - Ensure names match exactly
-- **Too many steps** - Combine related actions
-- **No checkpoints** - Add `` tags
-- **Vague instructions** - Be explicit about expectations
-- **Unclosed check tags** - Always close `...` blocks
-- **Wrong conditional pattern** - Use `` for single items, `` for blocks
-
-## Document Sharding Support
-
-If your workflow loads large planning documents (PRDs, epics, architecture, etc.), implement sharding support for efficiency.
-
-### What is Document Sharding?
-
-Document sharding splits large markdown files into smaller section-based files:
-
-- `PRD.md` (50k tokens) โ `prd/epic-1.md`, `prd/epic-2.md`, etc.
-- Enables selective loading (90%+ token savings)
-- All BMM workflows support both whole and sharded documents
-
-### When to Add Sharding Support
-
-**Add sharding support if your workflow:**
-
-- Loads planning documents (PRD, epics, architecture, UX specs)
-- May be used in large multi-epic projects
-- Processes documents that could exceed 20k tokens
-- Would benefit from selective section loading
-
-**Skip sharding support if your workflow:**
-
-- Only generates small documents
-- Doesn't load external documents
-- Works with code files (not planning docs)
-
-### Implementation Pattern
-
-#### 1. Add input_file_patterns to workflow.yaml
-
-```yaml
-# Smart input file references - handles both whole docs and sharded docs
-# Priority: Whole document first, then sharded version
-input_file_patterns:
- prd:
- whole: '{output_folder}/*prd*.md'
- sharded: '{output_folder}/*prd*/index.md'
-
- epics:
- whole: '{output_folder}/*epic*.md'
- sharded_index: '{output_folder}/*epic*/index.md'
- sharded_single: '{output_folder}/*epic*/epic-{{epic_num}}.md' # For selective load
-
- architecture:
- whole: '{output_folder}/*architecture*.md'
- sharded: '{output_folder}/*architecture*/index.md'
-
- document_project:
- sharded: '{output_folder}/index.md' # Brownfield always uses index
-```
-
-#### 2. Add Discovery Instructions to instructions.md
-
-Place early in instructions (after critical declarations, before workflow steps):
-
-```markdown
-## ๐ Document Discovery
-
-This workflow requires: [list required documents]
-
-**Discovery Process** (execute for each document):
-
-1. **Search for whole document first** - Use fuzzy file matching
-2. **Check for sharded version** - If whole document not found, look for `{doc-name}/index.md`
-3. **If sharded version found**:
- - Read `index.md` to understand the document structure
- - Read ALL section files listed in the index (or specific sections for selective load)
- - Treat the combined content as if it were a single document
-4. **Brownfield projects**: The `document-project` workflow creates `{output_folder}/index.md`
-
-**Priority**: If both whole and sharded versions exist, use the whole document.
-
-**Fuzzy matching**: Be flexible with document names - users may use variations.
-```
-
-#### 3. Choose Loading Strategy
-
-**Full Load Strategy** (most workflows):
-
-```xml
-Search for document using fuzzy pattern: {output_folder}/*prd*.md
-If not found, check for sharded version: {output_folder}/*prd*/index.md
-Read index.md to understand structure
-Read ALL section files listed in index
-Combine content as single document
-```
-
-**Selective Load Strategy** (advanced - for phase 4 type workflows):
-
-```xml
-Determine section needed (e.g., epic_num from story key)
-Check for sharded version: {output_folder}/*epics*/index.md
-Read ONLY the specific section file: epics/epic-{{epic_num}}.md
-Skip all other section files (efficiency optimization)
-Load complete document and extract relevant section
-```
-
-### Pattern Examples
-
-**Example 1: Simple Full Load**
-
-```yaml
-# workflow.yaml
-input_file_patterns:
- requirements:
- whole: '{output_folder}/*requirements*.md'
- sharded: '{output_folder}/*requirements*/index.md'
-```
-
-```markdown
-
-
-## Document Discovery
-
-Load requirements document (whole or sharded).
-
-1. Try whole: _requirements_.md
-2. If not found, try sharded: _requirements_/index.md
-3. If sharded: Read index + ALL section files
-```
-
-**Example 2: Selective Load with Epic Number**
-
-```yaml
-# workflow.yaml
-input_file_patterns:
- epics:
- whole: '{output_folder}/*epic*.md'
- sharded_single: '{output_folder}/*epic*/epic-{{epic_num}}.md'
-```
-
-```xml
-
-
- Extract epic number from story key (e.g., "3-2-feature" โ epic_num = 3)
- Check for sharded epics: {output_folder}/*epic*/index.md
- Load ONLY epics/epic-{{epic_num}}.md (selective optimization)
- Load full epics.md and extract Epic {{epic_num}}
-
-```
-
-### Testing Your Sharding Support
-
-1. **Test with whole document**: Verify workflow works with single `document.md`
-2. **Test with sharded document**: Create sharded version and verify discovery
-3. **Test with both present**: Ensure whole document takes priority
-4. **Test selective loading**: Verify only needed sections are loaded (if applicable)
-

-
-## Web Bundles
-
-Web bundles allow workflows to be deployed as self-contained packages for web environments.
-
-### When to Use Web Bundles
-
-- Deploying workflows to web-based AI platforms
-- Creating shareable workflow packages
-- Ensuring workflow portability without dependencies
-- Publishing workflows for public use
-
-### Web Bundle Requirements
-
-1. **Self-Contained**: No external dependencies
-2. **No Config Variables**: Cannot use `{config_source}` references
-3. **Complete File List**: Every referenced file must be listed
-4. **Relative Paths**: Use `{bmad_folder}/` root paths (no `{project-root}`)
-
-### Creating a Web Bundle
-
-Add this section to your workflow.yaml ensuring critically all dependant files or workflows are listed:
-
-```yaml
-web_bundle:
- name: 'workflow-name'
- description: 'Workflow description'
- author: 'Your Name'
-
- # Core files ({bmad_folder}/-relative paths)
- instructions: '{bmad_folder}/module/workflows/workflow/instructions.md'
- validation: '{bmad_folder}/module/workflows/workflow/checklist.md'
- template: '{bmad_folder}/module/workflows/workflow/template.md'
-
- # Data files (no config_source allowed)
- data_file: '{bmad_folder}/module/workflows/workflow/data.csv'
-
- # Complete file list - CRITICAL!
- web_bundle_files:
- - '{bmad_folder}/module/workflows/workflow/instructions.md'
- - '{bmad_folder}/module/workflows/workflow/checklist.md'
- - '{bmad_folder}/module/workflows/workflow/template.md'
- - '{bmad_folder}/module/workflows/workflow/data.csv'
- # Include ALL referenced files
-```
-
-### Converting Existing Workflows
-
-1. **Remove Config Dependencies**:
- - Replace `{config_source}:variable` with hardcoded values
- - Convert `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/` to `{bmad_folder}/`
-
-2. **Inventory All Files**:
- - Scan instructions.md for file references
- - Check template.md for includes
- - List all data files
-
-3. **Test Completeness**:
- - Ensure no missing file references
- - Verify all paths are relative to {bmad_folder}/
-
-### Example: Complete Web Bundle
-
-```yaml
-web_bundle:
- name: 'analyze-requirements'
- description: 'Requirements analysis workflow'
- author: 'BMad Team'
-
- instructions: '{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/analyze-requirements/instructions.md'
- validation: '{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/analyze-requirements/checklist.md'

-
- # Shared templates referenced in instructions
- - '{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/requirement-item.md'
- - '{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/validation-criteria.md'
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Variables Not Replaced
-
-- Check exact name match
-- Verify `` tag present
-- Ensure step generates the variable
-
-### Validation Fails
-
-- Review checklist specificity
-- Check for impossible requirements
-- Verify checklist matches template
-
-### Workflow Too Long
-
-- Combine related steps
-- Make sections optional
-- Create multiple focused workflows with a parent orchestration
-- Reduce elicitation points

+name: create-workflow
+description: Create structured standalone workflows using markdown-based step architecture
+web_bundle: true
+---
+
+# Create Workflow
+
+**Goal:** Create structured, repeatable standalone workflows through collaborative conversation and step-by-step guidance.
+
+**Your Role:** In addition to your name, communication_style, and persona, you are also a workflow architect and systems designer collaborating with a workflow creator. This is a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship. You bring expertise in workflow design patterns, step architecture, and collaborative facilitation, while the user brings their domain knowledge and specific workflow requirements. Work together as equals.
+
+---
+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+This uses **step-file architecture** for disciplined execution:
+
+### Core Principles
+
+- **Micro-file Design**: Each step is a self contained instruction file that is a part of an overall workflow that must be followed exactly
+- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only the current step file is in memory - never load future step files until told to do so
+- **Sequential Enforcement**: Sequence within the step files must be completed in order, no skipping or optimization allowed
+- **State Tracking**: Document progress in output file frontmatter using `stepsCompleted` array when a workflow produces a document
+- **Append-Only Building**: Build documents by appending content as directed to the output file
+
+### Step Processing Rules
+
+1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
+2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute all numbered sections in order, never deviate
+3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
+4. **CHECK CONTINUATION**: If the step has a menu with Continue as an option, only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
+5. **SAVE STATE**: Update `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter before loading next step
+6. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, load, read entire file, then execute the next step file
+
+### Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
+
+- ๐ **NEVER** load multiple step files simultaneously
+- ๐ **ALWAYS** read entire step file before execution
+- ๐ซ **NEVER** skip steps or optimize the sequence
+- ๐พ **ALWAYS** update frontmatter of output files when writing the final output for a specific step
+- ๐ฏ **ALWAYS** follow the exact instructions in the step file
+- โธ๏ธ **ALWAYS** halt at menus and wait for user input
+- ๐ **NEVER** create mental todo lists from future steps
+
+---
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
+
+### 1. Configuration Loading
+
+Load and read full config from {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/config.yaml and resolve:
+
+- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `user_name`, `communication_language`, `document_output_language`, `custom_workflow_location`
+
+### 2. First Step EXECUTION
+
+Load, read the full file and then execute `{workflow_path}/steps/step-01-init.md` to begin the workflow.

-# Edit Agent Workflow
-
-Interactive workflow for editing existing BMAD agents while maintaining best practices and modern standards.
-
-## Purpose
-
-This workflow helps you refine and improve existing agents by:
-
-- Analyzing agents against BMAD best practices
-- **Fixing persona field separation issues** (the #1 quality problem)
-- Identifying issues and improvement opportunities
-- Providing guided editing for specific aspects
-- Validating changes against agent standards
-- Ensuring consistency with modern agent architecture (Simple/Expert/Module)
-- Migrating from legacy patterns (full/hybrid/standalone)
-
-## When to Use
-
-Use this workflow when you need to:
-
-- **Fix persona field separation** (communication_style has behaviors mixed in)
-- Fix issues in existing agents (broken paths, invalid references)
-- Add new menu items or workflows
-- Improve agent persona or communication style
-- Update configuration handling
-- Migrate from legacy terminology (full/hybrid/standalone โ Simple/Expert/Module)
-- Convert between agent types
-- Optimize agent structure and clarity
-- Update legacy agents to modern BMAD standards
-
-## What You'll Need
-
-- Path to the agent file or folder you want to edit:
- - Simple agent: path to .agent.yaml file
- - Expert agent: path to folder containing .agent.yaml and sidecar files
-- Understanding of what changes you want to make (or let the workflow analyze and suggest)
-- Access to the agent documentation (loaded automatically)
-
-## Workflow Steps
-
-1. **Load and analyze target agent** - Provide path to agent file
-2. **Discover improvement goals collaboratively** - Discuss what needs improvement and why
-3. **Facilitate improvements iteratively** - Make changes collaboratively with approval
-4. **Validate all changes holistically** - Comprehensive validation checklist
-5. **Review improvements and guide next steps** - Summary and guidance
-
-## Common Editing Scenarios
-
-The workflow handles these common improvement needs:
-
-1. **Fix persona field separation** - Extract behaviors from communication_style to principles (MOST COMMON)
-2. **Fix critical issues** - Address broken references, syntax errors
-3. **Edit sidecar files** - Update templates, knowledge bases, docs (Expert agents)
-4. **Add/fix standard config** - Ensure config loading and variable usage
-5. **Refine persona** - Improve role, identity, communication style, principles
-6. **Update activation** - Modify activation steps and greeting
-7. **Manage menu items** - Add, remove, or reorganize commands
-8. **Update workflow references** - Fix paths, add new workflows
-9. **Enhance menu handlers** - Improve handler logic
-10. **Improve command triggers** - Refine asterisk commands
-11. **Migrate agent type** - Convert from legacy full/hybrid/standalone to Simple/Expert/Module
-12. **Add new capabilities** - Add menu items, workflows, features
-13. **Remove bloat** - Delete unused commands, redundant instructions, orphaned sidecar files
-14. **Full review and update** - Comprehensive improvements
-
-**Most agents need persona field separation fixes** - this is the #1 quality issue found in legacy agents.
-
-## Agent Documentation Loaded
-
-This workflow automatically loads comprehensive agent documentation:
-
-**Core Concepts:**
-
-- **Understanding Agent Types** - Simple, Expert, Module distinctions (architecture, not capability)
-- **Agent Compilation** - How YAML compiles to XML and what auto-injects
-
-**Architecture Guides:**
-
-- **Simple Agent Architecture** - Self-contained agents (NOT capability-limited!)
-- **Expert Agent Architecture** - Agents with sidecar files (templates, docs, knowledge)
-- **Module Agent Architecture** - Ecosystem-integrated agents (design intent)
-
-**Design Patterns:**
-
-- **Agent Menu Patterns** - Menu handlers, command structure, workflow integration
-- **Communication Presets** - 60 pure communication styles across 13 categories
-- **Brainstorm Context** - Creative ideation for persona development
-
-**Reference Implementations:**
-
-- **commit-poet** (Simple) - Shows Simple agents can be powerful and sophisticated
-- **journal-keeper** (Expert) - Shows sidecar structure with memories and patterns
-- **security-engineer** (Module) - Shows design intent and ecosystem integration
-- **All BMM agents** - Examples of distinct, memorable communication voices
-
-**Workflow Execution Engine** - How agents execute workflows
-
-## Critical: Persona Field Separation
-
-**THE #1 ISSUE** in legacy agents is persona field separation. The workflow checks for this automatically.
-
-### What Is Persona Field Separation?
-
-Each persona field serves a specific purpose that the LLM uses when activating:
-
-- **role** โ "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
-- **identity** โ "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
-- **communication_style** โ "What verbal patterns, word choice, quirks do I use?"
-- **principles** โ "What beliefs and philosophy drive my choices?"
-
-### The Problem
-
-Many agents have behaviors/role/identity mixed into communication_style:
-
-**WRONG:**
-
-```yaml
-communication_style: 'Experienced analyst who ensures all stakeholders are heard and uses systematic approaches'
-```
-
-**RIGHT:**
-
-```yaml
-identity: 'Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy'
-communication_style: 'Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue, thrilled when patterns emerge'
-principles:
- - 'Ensure all stakeholder voices heard'
- - 'Use systematic, structured approaches'
-```
-
-### Red Flag Words
-
-If communication_style contains these words, it needs fixing:
-
-- "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never" โ Behaviors (move to principles)
-- "experienced", "expert who", "senior" โ Identity (move to identity/role)
-- "believes in", "focused on" โ Philosophy (move to principles)
-
-## Output
-
-The workflow modifies your agent file in place, maintaining the original format (YAML). Changes are reviewed and approved by you before being applied.
-
-## Best Practices
-
-- **Start with analysis** - Let the workflow audit your agent first
-- **Check persona field separation FIRST** - This is the #1 issue in legacy agents
-- **Use reference agents as guides** - Compare against commit-poet, journal-keeper, BMM agents
-- **Focus your edits** - Choose specific aspects to improve
-- **Review each change** - Approve or modify proposed changes
-- **Validate persona purity** - Communication_style should have ZERO red flag words
-- **Validate thoroughly** - Use the validation step to catch all issues
-- **Test after editing** - Invoke the edited agent to verify it works
-
-## Tips
-
-- **Most common fix needed:** Persona field separation - communication_style has behaviors/role mixed in
-- If you're unsure what needs improvement, let the workflow analyze the agent first
-- For quick fixes, tell the workflow specifically what needs fixing
-- The workflow loads documentation automatically - you don't need to read it first
-- You can make multiple rounds of edits in one session
-- **Red flag words in communication_style:** "ensures", "makes sure", "experienced", "expert who", "believes in"
-- Compare your agent's communication_style against the presets CSV - should be similarly pure
-- Use the validation step to ensure you didn't miss anything
-
-## Example Usage
-
-**Scenario 1: Fix persona field separation (most common)**
-
-```
-User: Edit the analyst agent
-Workflow: Loads agent โ Analyzes โ Finds communication_style has "ensures stakeholders heard"
- โ Explains this is behavior, should be in principles
- โ Extracts behaviors to principles
- โ Crafts pure communication style: "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt"
- โ Validates โ Done
-```
-
-**Scenario 2: Add new workflow**
-
-```
-User: I want to add a new workflow to the PM agent
-Workflow: Analyzes agent โ User describes what workflow to add
- โ Adds new menu item with workflow reference
- โ Validates all paths resolve โ Done
-```
-
-**Scenario 2b: Edit Expert agent sidecar files**
-
-```
-User: Edit the journal-keeper agent - I want to update the daily journal template
-Workflow: Loads folder โ Finds .agent.yaml + 3 sidecar templates + 1 knowledge file
- โ Analyzes โ Loads daily.md template
- โ User describes changes to template
- โ Updates daily.md, shows before/after
- โ Validates menu item 'daily-journal' still references it correctly โ Done
-```
-
-**Scenario 3: Migrate from legacy type**
-
-```
-User: This agent says it's a "full agent" - what does that mean now?
-Workflow: Explains Simple/Expert/Module types
- โ Identifies agent is actually Simple (single file)
- โ Updates any legacy terminology in comments
- โ Validates structure matches type โ Done
-```
-
-## Related Workflows
-
-- **create-agent** - Create new agents from scratch with proper field separation
-- **edit-workflow** - Edit workflows referenced by agents
-- **audit-workflow** - Audit workflows for compliance
-
-## Activation
-
-Invoke via BMad Builder agent:
-
-```
-/bmad:bmb:agents:bmad-builder
-Then select: *edit-agent
-```
-
-Or directly via workflow.xml with this workflow config.
-
-## Quality Standards
-
-After editing with this workflow, your agent will meet these quality standards:
-
-โ Persona fields properly separated (communication_style is pure verbal patterns)
-โ Agent type matches structure (Simple/Expert/Module)
-โ All workflow paths resolve correctly
-โ Activation flow is robust
-โ Menu structure is clear and logical
-โ Handlers properly invoke workflows
-โ Config loading works correctly
-โ No legacy terminology (full/hybrid/standalone)
-โ Comparable quality to reference agents
-
-This workflow ensures your agents meet the same high standards as the reference implementations and recently enhanced BMM agents.

-# Edit Agent - Agent Editor Instructions
-
-The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml
-You MUST have already loaded and processed: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/workflows/edit-agent/workflow.yaml
-This workflow uses ADAPTIVE FACILITATION - adjust your communication based on context and user needs
-The goal is COLLABORATIVE IMPROVEMENT - work WITH the user, not FOR them
-Communicate all responses in {communication_language}
-
-Understanding Agent Persona Fields - ESSENTIAL for Editing Agents Correctly
-
-When editing an agent, you MUST understand how the compiled agent LLM interprets persona fields. This is the #1 issue found in agent edits:
-
-**The Four Persona Fields and LLM Interpretation:**
-
-- **role** โ LLM reads: "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
- Example: "Senior Software Engineer" or "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert"
-
-- **identity** โ LLM reads: "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
- Example: "Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy..."
-
-- **communication_style** โ LLM reads: "What verbal patterns, word choice, quirks, and phrasing do I use?"
- Example: "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue"
-
-- **principles** โ LLM reads: "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices?"
- Example: "Every business challenge has root causes. Ground findings in evidence."
-
-**MOST COMMON EDITING MISTAKE - Behaviors Mixed Into Communication Style:**
-
-BEFORE (incorrect - found in many legacy agents):
-
-```yaml
-communication_style: 'Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches and ensures all stakeholders are heard'
-```
-
-^ This MIXES identity (experienced analyst) + behavior (ensures stakeholders heard) into style!
-
-AFTER (correct - persona fields properly separated):
-
-```yaml
-identity: 'Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting insights to strategy'
-communication_style: 'Systematic and probing. Structures findings hierarchically.'
-principles:
- - 'Ensure all stakeholder voices heard'
- - 'Ground findings in evidence'
-```
-
-**How to Recognize When Communication Style Needs Fixing:**
-
-Red flag words in communication_style indicate behaviors/role mixed in:
-
-- "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never" โ These are behaviors (move to principles)
-- "experienced", "expert who", "senior" โ These are identity (move to identity field)
-- "believes in", "focused on" โ These are principles (move to principles array)
-
-**Pure Communication Styles (from {communication_presets}):**
-
-Notice these contain ZERO role/identity/principles - only HOW they talk:
-
-- "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue"
-- "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs - every statement citable"
-- "Asks 'WHY?' relentlessly like a detective on a case"
-- "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase"
-
-Use {communication_presets} CSV and reference agents in {reference_agents} as your guide for pure communication styles.
-
-
-
-
-What is the path to the agent you want to edit?
-
-Detect agent type from provided path and load ALL relevant files:
-
-**If path is a .agent.yaml file (Simple Agent):**
-
-- Load the single YAML file
-- Note: Simple agent, all content in one file
-
-**If path is a folder (Expert Agent with sidecar files):**
-
-- Load the .agent.yaml file from inside the folder
-- Load ALL sidecar files in the folder:
- - Templates (_.md, _.txt)
- - Documentation files
- - Knowledge base files (_.csv, _.json, \*.yaml)
- - Any other resources referenced by the agent
-- Create inventory of sidecar files for reference
-- Note: Expert agent with sidecar structure
-
-**If path is ambiguous:**
-
-- Check if it's a folder containing .agent.yaml โ Expert agent
-- Check if it's a direct .agent.yaml path โ Simple agent
-- If neither, ask user to clarify
-
-Present what was loaded:
-
-- "Loaded [agent-name].agent.yaml"
-- If Expert: "Plus 5 sidecar files: [list them]"
-
- Load ALL agent documentation to inform understanding:
-
-**Core Concepts:**
-
-- Understanding agent types: {understanding_agent_types}
-- Agent compilation process: {agent_compilation}
-
-**Architecture Guides:**
-
-- Simple agent architecture: {simple_architecture}
-- Expert agent architecture: {expert_architecture}
-- Module agent architecture: {module_architecture}
-
-**Design Patterns:**
-
-- Menu patterns: {menu_patterns}
-- Communication presets: {communication_presets}
-- Brainstorm context: {brainstorm_context}
-
-**Reference Agents:**
-
-- Simple example: {reference_simple_agent}
-- Expert example: {reference_expert_agent}
-- Module examples: {reference_module_agents}
-- BMM agents (distinct voices): {bmm_agents}
-
-**Workflow execution engine:** {workflow_execution_engine}
-
-
-Analyze the agent structure thoroughly:
-
-**Basic Structure:**
-
-- Parse persona (role, identity, communication_style, principles)
-- Understand activation flow and steps
-- Map menu items and their workflows
-- Identify configuration dependencies
-- Assess agent type: Simple (single YAML), Expert (sidecar files), or Module (ecosystem integration)
-- Check workflow references for validity
-
-**If Expert Agent - Analyze Sidecar Files:**
-
-- Map which menu items reference which sidecar files (tmpl="path", data="path")
-- Check if all sidecar references in YAML actually exist
-- Identify unused sidecar files (not referenced in YAML)
-- Assess sidecar organization (are templates grouped logically?)
-- Note any sidecar files that might need editing (outdated templates, old docs)
-
-**CRITICAL - Persona Field Separation Analysis:**
-
-- Check if communication_style contains ONLY verbal patterns
-- Identify any behaviors mixed into communication_style (red flags: "ensures", "makes sure", "always")
-- Identify any role/identity statements in communication_style (red flags: "experienced", "expert who", "senior")
-- Identify any principles in communication_style (red flags: "believes in", "focused on")
-- Compare communication_style against {communication_presets} for purity
-- Compare against similar reference agents
-
-**Evaluate against best practices from loaded guides**
-
-
-Reflect understanding back to {user_name}:
-
-Present a warm, conversational summary adapted to the agent's complexity:
-
-- What this agent does (its role and purpose)
-- How it's structured (Simple/Expert/Module type, menu items, workflows)
-- **If Expert agent:** Describe the sidecar structure warmly:
- - "This is an Expert agent with a nice sidecar structure - I see 3 templates, 2 knowledge files, and a README"
- - Mention what the sidecar files are for (if clear from names/content)
- - Note any sidecar issues (broken references, unused files)
-- **If persona field separation issues found:** Gently point out that communication_style has behaviors/role mixed in - explain this is common and fixable
-- What you notice (strengths, potential improvements, issues)
-- Your initial assessment of its health
-
-Be conversational, not clinical. Help {user_name} see their agent through your eyes.
-
-Example of mentioning persona issues warmly:
-"I notice the communication_style has some behaviors mixed in (like 'ensures stakeholders are heard'). This is super common - we can easily extract those to principles to make the persona clearer. The agent's core purpose is solid though!"
-
-Example of mentioning Expert agent sidecar structure:
-"This is beautifully organized as an Expert agent! The sidecar files include 3 journal templates (daily, weekly, breakthrough) and a mood-patterns knowledge file. Your menu items reference them nicely. I do notice 'old-template.md' isn't referenced anywhere - we could clean that up."
-
-
-Does this match your understanding of what this agent should do?
-agent_understanding
-
-
-
-Understand WHAT the user wants to improve and WHY before diving into edits
-
-Engage in collaborative discovery:
-
-Ask open-ended questions to understand their goals:
-
-- What prompted you to want to edit this agent?
-- What isn't working the way you'd like?
-- Are there specific behaviors you want to change?
-- Is there functionality you want to add or remove?
-- How do users interact with this agent? What feedback have they given?
-
-Listen for clues about:
-
-- **Persona field separation issues** (communication_style contains behaviors/role/principles)
-- Functional issues (broken references, missing workflows)
-- **Sidecar file issues** (for Expert agents: outdated templates, unused files, missing references)
-- User experience issues (confusing menu, unclear communication)
-- Performance issues (too slow, too verbose, not adaptive enough)
-- Maintenance issues (hard to update, bloated, inconsistent)
-- Integration issues (doesn't work well with other agents/workflows)
-- **Legacy pattern issues** (using old "full/hybrid/standalone" terminology, outdated structures)
-
-
-Based on their responses and your analysis from step 1, identify improvement opportunities:
-
-Organize by priority and user goals:
-
-- **CRITICAL issues blocking functionality** (broken paths, invalid references)
-- **PERSONA FIELD SEPARATION** (if found - this significantly improves LLM interpretation)
-- **IMPORTANT improvements enhancing user experience** (menu clarity, better workflows)
-- **NICE-TO-HAVE enhancements for polish** (better triggers, communication refinement)
-
-Present these conversationally, explaining WHY each matters and HOW it would help.
-
-If persona field separation issues found, explain the impact:
-"I found some behaviors in the communication_style field. When we separate these properly, the LLM will have much clearer understanding of the persona. Right now it's trying to interpret 'ensures stakeholders heard' as a verbal pattern, when it's actually an operating principle. Fixing this makes the agent more consistent and predictable."
-
-
-Collaborate on priorities:
-
-Don't just list options - discuss them:
-
-- "I noticed {{issue}} - this could cause {{problem}}. Does this concern you?"
-- "The agent could be more {{improvement}} which would help when {{use_case}}. Worth exploring?"
-- "Based on what you said about {{user_goal}}, we might want to {{suggestion}}. Thoughts?"
-
-Let the conversation flow naturally. Build a shared vision of what "better" looks like.
-
-
-improvement_goals
-
-
-
-Work iteratively - improve, review, refine. Never dump all changes at once.
-
-For each improvement area, facilitate collaboratively:
-
-1. **Explain the current state and why it matters**
- - Show relevant sections of the agent
- - Explain how it works now and implications
- - Connect to user's goals from step 2
-
-2. **Propose improvements with rationale**
- - Suggest specific changes that align with best practices
- - Explain WHY each change helps
- - Provide examples from the loaded guides when helpful
- - Show before/after comparisons for clarity
-
-3. **Collaborate on the approach**
- - Ask if the proposed change addresses their need
- - Invite modifications or alternative approaches
- - Explain tradeoffs when relevant
- - Adapt based on their feedback
-
-4. **Apply changes iteratively**
- - Make one focused improvement at a time
- - Show the updated section
- - Confirm it meets their expectation
- - Move to next improvement or refine current one
-
-
-Common improvement patterns to facilitate:
-
-**If fixing broken references:**
-
-- Identify all broken paths (workflow paths, sidecar file references)
-- Explain what each reference should point to
-- Verify new paths exist before updating
-- **For Expert agents:** Check both YAML references AND actual sidecar file existence
-- Update and confirm working
-
-**If editing sidecar files (Expert agents only):**
-
-Sidecar files are as much a part of the agent as the YAML!
-
-Common sidecar editing scenarios:
-
-**Updating templates:**
-
-- Read current template content
-- Discuss what needs to change with user
-- Show before/after of template updates
-- Verify menu item references still work
-- Test template variables resolve correctly
-
-**Adding new sidecar files:**
-
-- Create the new file (template, doc, knowledge base)
-- Add menu item in YAML that references it (tmpl="path/to/new-file.md")
-- Verify the reference path is correct
-- Test the menu item loads the sidecar file
-
-**Removing unused sidecar files:**
-
-- Confirm file is truly unused (not referenced in YAML)
-- Ask user if safe to delete (might be there for future use)
-- Delete file if approved
-- Clean up any stale references
-
-**Reorganizing sidecar structure:**
-
-- Discuss better organization (e.g., group templates in subfolder)
-- Move files to new locations
-- Update ALL references in YAML to new paths
-- Verify all menu items still work
-
-**Updating knowledge base files (.csv, .json, .yaml in sidecar):**
-
-- Understand what knowledge the file contains
-- Discuss what needs updating
-- Edit the knowledge file directly
-- Verify format is still valid
-- No YAML changes needed (data file just gets loaded)
-
-**If refining persona/communication (MOST COMMON IMPROVEMENT NEEDED):**
-
-Persona field separation is the #1 quality issue. Follow this pattern EXACTLY:
-
-**Step 1: Diagnose Current Communication Style**
-
-- Read current communication_style field word by word
-- Identify ANY content that isn't pure verbal patterns
-- Use red flag words as detection:
- - "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never" โ Behaviors (belongs in principles)
- - "experienced", "expert who", "senior", "seasoned" โ Identity descriptors (belongs in role/identity)
- - "believes in", "focused on", "committed to" โ Philosophy (belongs in principles)
- - "who does X", "that does Y" โ Behavioral descriptions (belongs in role or principles)
-
-Example diagnosis:
-
-```yaml
-# CURRENT (problematic)
-communication_style: 'Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches and ensures all stakeholders are heard'
-# IDENTIFIED ISSUES:
-# - "Experienced analyst" โ identity descriptor
-# - "who uses systematic approaches" โ behavioral description
-# - "ensures all stakeholders are heard" โ operating principle
-# ONLY THIS IS STYLE: [nothing! Need to find the actual verbal pattern]
-```
-
-**Step 2: Extract Non-Style Content to Proper Fields**
-
-- Create a working copy with sections:
- - ROLE (capabilities/skills)
- - IDENTITY (background/context)
- - PURE STYLE (verbal patterns only)
- - PRINCIPLES (beliefs/behaviors)
-
-- Move identified content to proper sections:
- ```yaml
- # ROLE: "Strategic analyst"
- # IDENTITY: "Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches"
- # PURE STYLE: [need to discover - interview user about HOW they talk]
- # PRINCIPLES:
- # - "Ensure all stakeholder voices heard"
- # - "Use systematic, structured approaches"
- ```
-
-**Step 3: Discover the TRUE Communication Style**
-Since style was buried under behaviors, interview the user:
-
-- "How should this agent SOUND when talking?"
-- "What verbal quirks or patterns make them distinctive?"
-- "Are they formal? Casual? Energetic? Measured?"
-- "Any metaphors or imagery that capture their voice?"
-
-Then explore {communication_presets} together:
-
-- Show relevant categories (Professional, Creative, Analytical, etc.)
-- Read examples of pure styles
-- Discuss which resonates with agent's essence
-
-**Step 4: Craft Pure Communication Style**
-Write 1-2 sentences focused ONLY on verbal patterns:
-
-Good examples from reference agents:
-
-- "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue, thrilled when patterns emerge" (Mary/analyst)
-- "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs - every statement citable" (Amelia/dev)
-- "Asks 'WHY?' relentlessly like a detective on a case" (John/pm)
-- "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase" (commit-poet)
-
-Bad example (what we're fixing):
-
-- "Experienced who ensures quality and uses best practices" โ ALL behaviors, NO style!
-
-**Step 5: Show Before/After With Full Context**
-Present the complete transformation:
-
-```yaml
-# BEFORE
-persona:
- role: "Analyst"
- communication_style: "Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches and ensures all stakeholders are heard"
-
-# AFTER
-persona:
- role: "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert"
- identity: "Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy and translating complex problems into clear requirements"
- communication_style: "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue, thrilled when patterns emerge. Asks questions that spark 'aha!' moments."
- principles:
- - "Ensure all stakeholder voices heard"
- - "Use systematic, structured approaches to analysis"
- - "Ground findings in evidence, not assumptions"
-```
-
-**Step 6: Validate Against Standards**
-
-- Communication style has ZERO red flag words
-- Communication style describes HOW they talk, not WHAT they do
-- Compare against {communication_presets} - similarly pure?
-- Compare against reference agents - similar quality?
-- Read it aloud - does it sound like a voice description?
-
-**Step 7: Confirm With User**
-
-- Explain WHAT changed and WHY each move happened
-- Read the new communication style dramatically to demonstrate the voice
-- Ask: "Does this capture how you want them to sound?"
-- Refine based on feedback
-
-**If updating activation:**
-
-- Walk through current activation flow
-- Identify bottlenecks or confusion points
-- Propose streamlined flow
-- Ensure config loading works correctly
-- Verify all session variables are set
-
-**If managing menu items:**
-
-- Review current menu organization
-- Discuss if structure serves user mental model
-- Add/remove/reorganize as needed
-- Ensure all workflow references are valid
-- Update triggers to be intuitive
-
-**If enhancing menu handlers:**
-
-- Explain current handler logic
-- Identify where handlers could be smarter
-- Propose enhanced logic based on agent architecture patterns
-- Ensure handlers properly invoke workflows
-
-**If optimizing agent type or migrating from legacy terminology:**
-
-Legacy agents may use outdated "full/hybrid/standalone" terminology. Migrate to Simple/Expert/Module:
-
-**Understanding the Modern Types:**
-
-- **Simple** = Self-contained in single .agent.yaml file
- - NOT capability-limited! Can be as powerful as any agent
- - Architecture choice: everything in one file
- - Example: commit-poet (reference_simple_agent)
-
-- **Expert** = Includes sidecar files (templates, docs, knowledge bases)
- - Folder structure with .agent.yaml + additional files
- - Sidecar files referenced in menu items or prompts
- - Example: journal-keeper (reference_expert_agent)
-
-- **Module** = Designed for BMAD ecosystem integration
- - Integrated with specific module workflows (BMM, BMGD, CIS, etc.)
- - Coordinates with other module agents
- - Included in module's default bundle
- - This is design INTENT, not capability limitation
- - Examples: security-engineer, dev, analyst (reference_module_agents)
-
-**Migration Pattern from Legacy Types:**
-
-If agent uses "full/hybrid/standalone" terminology:
-
-1. **Identify current structure:**
- - Single file? โ Probably Simple
- - Has sidecar files? โ Probably Expert
- - Part of module ecosystem? โ Probably Module
- - Multiple could apply? โ Choose based on PRIMARY characteristic
-
-2. **Update any references in comments/docs:**
- - Change "full agent" โ Simple or Module (depending on context)
- - Change "hybrid agent" โ Usually Simple or Expert
- - Change "standalone agent" โ Usually Simple
-
-3. **Verify type choice:**
- - Read {understanding_agent_types} together
- - Compare against reference agents
- - Confirm structure matches chosen type
-
-4. **Update validation checklist expectations** based on new type
-
-**If genuinely converting between types:**
-
-Simple โ Expert (adding sidecar files):
-
-- Create folder with agent name
-- Move .agent.yaml into folder
-- Add sidecar files (templates, docs, etc.)
-- Update menu items to reference sidecar files
-- Test all references work
-
-Expert โ Simple (consolidating):
-
-- Inline sidecar content into YAML (or remove if unused)
-- Move .agent.yaml out of folder
-- Update any menu references
-- Delete sidecar folder after verification
-
-Module โ Others:
-
-- Module is about design intent, not structure
-- Can be Simple OR Expert structurally
-- Change is about integration ecosystem, not file structure
-
-
-Throughout improvements, educate when helpful:
-
-Share insights from the guides naturally:
-
-- "The agent architecture guide suggests {{pattern}} for this scenario"
-- "Looking at the command patterns, we could use {{approach}}"
-- "The communication styles guide has a great example of {{technique}}"
-
-Connect improvements to broader BMAD principles without being preachy.
-
-
-After each significant change:
-
-- "Does this feel right for what you're trying to achieve?"
-- "Want to refine this further, or move to the next improvement?"
-- "Is there anything about this change that concerns you?"
-
-
-improvement_implementation
-
-
-
-Run comprehensive validation conversationally:
-
-Don't just check boxes - explain what you're validating and why it matters:
-
-- "Let me verify all the workflow paths resolve correctly..."
-- **"If Expert agent: Checking all sidecar file references..."**
-- "Checking that the activation flow works smoothly..."
-- "Making sure menu handlers are wired up properly..."
-- "Validating config loading is robust..."
-- **"CRITICAL: Checking persona field separation - ensuring communication_style is pure..."**
-
-**For Expert Agents - Sidecar File Validation:**
-
-Walk through each sidecar reference:
-
-- "Your menu item 'daily-journal' references 'templates/daily.md'... checking... โ exists!"
-- "Menu item 'breakthrough' references 'templates/breakthrough.md'... checking... โ exists!"
-- Check for orphaned sidecar files not referenced anywhere
-- If found: "I noticed 'old-template.md' isn't referenced in any menu items. Should we keep it?"
-- Verify sidecar file formats (YAML is valid, CSV has headers, etc.)
-
-
-Load validation checklist: {validation}
-Check all items from checklist systematically
-
-The validation checklist is shared between create-agent and edit-agent workflows to ensure consistent quality standards. Any agent (whether newly created or edited) is validated against the same comprehensive criteria.
-
-
- Present issues conversationally:
-
-Explain what's wrong and implications:
-
-- "I found {{issue}} which could cause {{problem}}"
-- "The {{component}} needs {{fix}} because {{reason}}"
-
-Propose fixes immediately:
-
-- "I can fix this by {{solution}}. Should I?"
-- "We have a couple options here: {{option1}} or {{option2}}. Thoughts?"
-
-
-Fix approved issues and re-validate
-
-
-
- Confirm success warmly:
-
-"Excellent! Everything validates cleanly:
-
-- โ Persona fields properly separated (communication_style is pure!)
-- โ All paths resolve correctly
-- โ **[If Expert agent: All sidecar file references valid - 5 sidecar files, all referenced correctly!]**
-- โ Activation flow is solid
-- โ Menu structure is clear
-- โ Handlers work properly
-- โ Config loading is robust
-- โ Agent type matches structure (Simple/Expert/Module)
-
-Your agent meets all BMAD quality standards. Great work!"
-
-
-
-validation_results
-
-
-
-Create a conversational summary of what improved:
-
-Tell the story of the transformation:
-
-- "We started with {{initial_state}}"
-- "You wanted to {{user_goals}}"
-- "We made these key improvements: {{changes_list}}"
-- "Now your agent {{improved_capabilities}}"
-
-Highlight the impact:
-
-- "This means users will experience {{benefit}}"
-- "The agent is now more {{quality}}"
-- "It follows best practices for {{patterns}}"
-
-
-Guide next steps based on changes made:
-
-If significant structural changes:
-
-- "Since we restructured the activation, you should test the agent with a real user interaction"
-
-If workflow references changed:
-
-- "The agent now uses {{new_workflows}} - make sure those workflows are up to date"
-
-If this is part of larger module work:
-
-- "This agent is part of {{module}} - consider if other agents need similar improvements"
-
-Be a helpful guide to what comes next, not just a task completer.
-
-
-Would you like to:
-
-- Test the edited agent by invoking it
-- Edit another agent
-- Make additional refinements to this one
-- Return to your module work

+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Get the agent path to edit and understand what the user wants to accomplish before proceeding to targeted analysis.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ๐ CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- โ You are an agent editor who helps users improve their BMAD agents
+- โ If you already have a name, communication_style and identity, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- โ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- โ You bring agent architecture expertise, user brings their agent and goals, together we improve the agent
+- โ Maintain collaborative guiding tone throughout
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus only on getting agent path and understanding user goals
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to load any documentation or analyze the agent yet
+- ๐ฌ Approach: Direct questions to understand what needs fixing
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to make suggestions or propose solutions
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Ask clear questions to get agent path and user goals
+- ๐พ Store path and goals for next step
+- ๐ Do NOT load any references in this step
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to analyze agent content yet
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: User wants to edit an existing agent
+- Focus: Get path and understand goals ONLY
+- Limits: No analysis, no documentation loading, no suggestions
+- Dependencies: User must provide agent path
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Get Agent Path
+
+Ask the user:
+"What agent do you want to edit? Please provide the path to:
+
+- A .agent.yaml file (Simple agent)
+- A folder containing .agent.yaml (Expert agent with sidecar files)"
+
+Wait for user response with the path.
+
+### 2. Understand Editing Goals
+
+Ask clear questions to understand what they want to accomplish:
+"What do you want to change about this agent?"
+
+Listen for specific goals such as:
+
+- Fix broken functionality
+- Update personality/communication style
+- Add or remove commands
+- Fix references or paths
+- Reorganize sidecar files (Expert agents)
+- Update for new standards
+
+Continue asking clarifying questions until goals are clear.
+
+### 3. Confirm Understanding
+
+Summarize back to user:
+"So you want to edit the agent at {{agent_path}} to {{user_goals}}. Is that correct?"
+
+### 4. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}
+- IF C: Load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then redisplay menu options
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [agent path and goals obtained], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and begin agent analysis.
+
+---
+
+## ๐จ SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### โ SUCCESS:
+
+- Agent path clearly obtained and validated
+- User editing goals understood completely
+- User confirms understanding is correct
+- Menu presented and user input handled correctly
+
+### โ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Proceeding without agent path
+- Making suggestions or analyzing agent
+- Loading documentation in this step
+- Not confirming user goals clearly
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.

+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Load Agent File
+
+Load the agent file from the path provided in step 1:
+
+**If path is to a .agent.yaml file (Simple Agent):**
+
+- Load and read the entire YAML file
+- Note: Simple agent, all content in one file
+
+**If path is to a folder (Expert Agent with sidecar files):**
+
+- Load and read the .agent.yaml file from inside the folder
+- Inventory all sidecar files in the folder:
+ - Templates (_.md, _.txt)
+ - Documentation files
+ - Knowledge base files (_.csv, _.json, \*.yaml)
+ - Any other resources referenced by the agent
+- Note: Expert agent with sidecar structure
+
+Present what was loaded:
+
+- "Loaded [agent-name].agent.yaml"
+- If Expert: "Plus X sidecar files: [list them]"
+
+### 2. Load Relevant Documentation Based on User Goals
+
+**CRITICAL: Load documentation JIT based ONLY on user's stated goals:**
+
+**If user mentioned persona/communication issues:**
+
+- Load and read fully: `{agent_compilation}` - understand how LLM interprets persona fields
+- Load and read fully: `{communication_presets}` - reference for pure communication styles
+
+**If user mentioned functional/broken reference issues:**
+
+- Load and read fully: `{menu_patterns}` - proper menu structure
+- Load and read fully: `{agent_compilation}` - compilation requirements
+
+**If user mentioned sidecar/structure issues (Expert agents):**
+
+- Load and read fully: `{expert_architecture}` - sidecar best practices
+
+**If user mentioned agent type confusion:**
+
+- Load and read fully: `{understanding_agent_types}`
+- Load and read fully appropriate architecture guide based on agent type
+
+### 3. Focused Analysis Based on User Goals
+
+Analyze only what's relevant to user goals:
+
+**For persona/communication issues:**
+
+- Check communication_style field for mixed behaviors/identity/principles
+- Look for red flag words that indicate improper mixing:
+ - "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never" โ Behaviors (belongs in principles)
+ - "experienced", "expert who", "senior", "seasoned" โ Identity descriptors (belongs in role/identity)
+ - "believes in", "focused on", "committed to" โ Philosophy (belongs in principles)
+- Compare current communication_style against examples in `{communication_presets}`
+
+**For functional issues:**
+
+- Verify all workflow references exist and are valid
+- Check menu handler patterns against `{menu_patterns}`
+- Validate YAML syntax and structure
+
+**For sidecar issues:**
+
+- Map each menu item reference to actual sidecar files
+- Identify orphaned files (not referenced in YAML)
+- Check if all referenced files actually exist
+
+### 4. Report Findings
+
+Present focused analysis findings:
+"Based on your goal to {{user_goal}}, I found the following issues:"
+
+For each issue found:
+
+- Describe the specific problem
+- Show the relevant section of the agent
+- Reference the loaded documentation that explains the standard
+- Explain why this is an issue
+
+### 5. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}
+- IF C: Load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then redisplay menu options
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [analysis complete with specific issues identified], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and begin proposing specific changes.
+
+---
+
+## ๐จ SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### โ SUCCESS:
+
+- Agent file loaded completely with proper type detection
+- Relevant documentation loaded JIT based on user goals
+- Analysis focused only on user's stated issues
+- Specific problems identified with documentation references
+- User understands what needs fixing and why
+- Menu presented and user input handled correctly
+
+### โ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Loading documentation not relevant to user goals
+- Proposing solutions instead of analyzing
+- Missing critical issues related to user goals
+- Not following "load and read fully" instruction
+- Making changes to agent files
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.

+---
+
+# Edit Agent Workflow
+
+**Goal:** Edit existing BMAD agents following best practices with targeted analysis and direct updates.
+
+**Your Role:** In addition to your name, communication_style, and persona, you are also an agent editor collaborating with a BMAD agent owner. This is a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship. You bring agent architecture expertise and editing skills, while the user brings their agent and specific improvement goals. Work together as equals.
+
+---
+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+This uses **step-file architecture** for disciplined execution:
+
+### Core Principles
+
+- **Micro-file Design**: Each step is a self contained instruction file that is a part of an overall workflow that must be followed exactly
+- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only the current step file is in memory - never load future step files until told to do so
+- **Sequential Enforcement**: Sequence within the step files must be completed in order, no skipping or optimization allowed
+- **State Tracking**: Document progress in context for editing workflows (no output file frontmatter needed)
+- **Append-Only Building**: Build documents by appending content as directed to the output file
+
+### Step Processing Rules
+
+1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
+2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute all numbered sections in order, never deviate
+3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
+4. **CHECK CONTINUATION**: If the step has a menu with Continue as an option, only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
+5. **SAVE STATE**: Update `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter before loading next step
+6. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, load, read entire file, then execute the next step file
+
+### Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
+
+- ๐ **NEVER** load multiple step files simultaneously
+- ๐ **ALWAYS** read entire step file before execution
+- ๐ซ **NEVER** skip steps or optimize the sequence
+- ๐พ **ALWAYS** update frontmatter of output files when writing the final output for a specific step
+- ๐ฏ **ALWAYS** follow the exact instructions in the step file
+- โธ๏ธ **ALWAYS** halt at menus and wait for user input
+- ๐ **NEVER** create mental todo lists from future steps
+
+---
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
+
+### 1. Configuration Loading
+
+Load and read full config from {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/config.yaml and resolve:
+
+- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `user_name`, `communication_language`, `document_output_language`
+
+### 2. First Step EXECUTION
+
+Load, read the full file and then execute `{workflow_path}/steps/step-01-discover-intent.md` to begin the workflow.

-# Edit Workflow
-
-## Purpose
-
-An intelligent workflow editor that helps you modify existing BMAD workflows while adhering to all best practices and conventions documented in the workflow creation guide.
-
-## Use Case
-
-When you need to:
-
-- Fix issues in existing workflows
-- Update workflow configuration or metadata
-- Improve instruction clarity and specificity
-- Add new features or capabilities
-- Ensure compliance with BMAD workflow conventions
-
-## How to Invoke
-
-```
-workflow edit-workflow
-```
-
-Or through a BMAD agent:
-
-```
-*edit-workflow
-```
-
-## Expected Inputs
-
-- **Target workflow path**: Path to the workflow.yaml file or workflow folder you want to edit
-- **Edit type selection**: Choice of what aspect to modify
-- **User approval**: For each proposed change
-
-## Generated Outputs
-
-- Modified workflow files (in place)
-- Optional change log at: `{output_folder}/workflow-edit-log-{date}.md`
-
-## Features
-
-1. **Comprehensive Analysis**: Checks workflows against the official creation guide
-2. **Prioritized Issues**: Identifies and ranks issues by importance
-3. **Guided Editing**: Step-by-step process with explanations
-4. **Best Practices**: Ensures all edits follow BMAD conventions
-5. **Instruction Style Optimization**: Convert between intent-based and prescriptive styles
-6. **Validation**: Checks all changes for correctness
-7. **Change Tracking**: Documents what was modified and why
-
-## Understanding Instruction Styles
-
-When editing workflows, one powerful option is **adjusting the instruction style** to better match the workflow's purpose.
-
-### Intent-Based vs Prescriptive Instructions
-
-**Intent-Based (Recommended for most workflows)**
-
-Guides the AI with goals and principles, allowing flexible conversation.
-
-- **More flexible and conversational** - AI adapts to user responses
-- **Better for complex discovery** - Requirements gathering, creative exploration
-- **Quality over consistency** - Deep understanding matters more
-- **Example**: `Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics and needs`
-
-**When to use:**
-
-- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements)
-- Creative brainstorming and ideation
-- Iterative refinement workflows
-- Workflows requiring nuanced understanding
-
-**Prescriptive**
-
-Provides exact questions with structured options.
-
-- **More controlled and predictable** - Consistent questions every time
-- **Better for simple data collection** - Platform, format, yes/no choices
-- **Consistency over quality** - Same execution every run
-- **Example**: `What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web`
-
-**When to use:**
-
-- Simple data collection (platform, format, binary choices)
-- Compliance verification and standards adherence
-- Configuration with finite options
-- Quick setup wizards
-
-### Edit Workflow's Style Adjustment Feature
-
-The **"Adjust instruction style"** editing option (menu option 11) helps you:
-
-1. **Analyze current style** - Identifies whether workflow is primarily intent-based or prescriptive
-2. **Convert between styles** - Transform prescriptive steps to intent-based (or vice versa)
-3. **Optimize the mix** - Intelligently recommend the best style for each step
-4. **Step-by-step control** - Review and decide on each step individually
-
-**Common scenarios:**
-
-- **Make workflow more conversational**: Convert rigid tags to flexible tags for complex steps
-- **Make workflow more consistent**: Convert open-ended tags to structured tags for simple data collection
-- **Balance both approaches**: Use intent-based for discovery, prescriptive for simple choices
-
-This feature is especially valuable when converting legacy workflows or adapting workflows for different use cases.
-
-## Workflow Steps
-
-1. Load and analyze target workflow
-2. Check against best practices
-3. Select editing focus
-4. Load relevant documentation
-5. Perform edits with user approval
-6. Validate all changes (optional)
-7. Generate change summary
-

-# Edit Workflow - Workflow Editor Instructions
-
-The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml
-You MUST have already loaded and processed: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/workflows/edit-workflow/workflow.yaml
-This workflow uses ADAPTIVE FACILITATION - adjust your communication based on context and user needs
-The goal is COLLABORATIVE IMPROVEMENT - work WITH the user, not FOR them
-Communicate all responses in {communication_language}
-
-
-
-
-What is the path to the workflow you want to edit? (provide path to workflow.yaml or workflow directory)
-
-Load the target workflow completely:
-
-- workflow.yaml configuration
-- instructions.md (if exists)
-- template.md (if exists)
-- checklist.md (if exists)
-- Any additional data files referenced
-
-
-Load ALL workflow documentation to inform understanding:
-
-- Workflow creation guide: {workflow_creation_guide}
-- Workflow execution engine: {workflow_execution_engine}
-- Study example workflows from: {workflow_examples_dir}
-
-
-Analyze the workflow deeply:
-
-- Identify workflow type (document, action, interactive, autonomous, meta)
-- Understand purpose and user journey
-- Map out step flow and logic
-- Check variable consistency across files
-- Evaluate instruction style (intent-based vs prescriptive)
-- Assess template structure (if applicable)
-- Review validation criteria
-- Identify config dependencies
-- Check for web bundle configuration
-- Evaluate against best practices from loaded guides
-
-
-Reflect understanding back to {user_name}:
-
-Present a warm, conversational summary adapted to the workflow's complexity:
-
-- What this workflow accomplishes (its purpose and value)
-- How it's structured (type, steps, interactive points)
-- What you notice (strengths, potential improvements, issues)
-- Your initial assessment based on best practices
-- How it fits in the larger BMAD ecosystem
-
-Be conversational and insightful. Help {user_name} see their workflow through your eyes.
-
-
-Does this match your understanding of what this workflow should accomplish?
-workflow_understanding
-
-
-
-Understand WHAT the user wants to improve and WHY before diving into edits
-
-Engage in collaborative discovery:
-
-Ask open-ended questions to understand their goals:
-
-- What prompted you to want to edit this workflow?
-- What feedback have you gotten from users running it?
-- Are there specific steps that feel clunky or confusing?
-- Is the workflow achieving its intended outcome?
-- Are there new capabilities you want to add?
-- Is the instruction style working well for your users?
-
-Listen for clues about:
-
-- User experience issues (confusing steps, unclear instructions)
-- Functional issues (broken references, missing validation)
-- Performance issues (too many steps, repetitive, tedious)
-- Maintainability issues (hard to update, bloated, inconsistent variables)
-- Instruction style mismatch (too prescriptive when should be adaptive, or vice versa)
-- Integration issues (doesn't work well with other workflows)
-
-
-Based on their responses and your analysis from step 1, identify improvement opportunities:
-
-Organize by priority and user goals:
-
-- CRITICAL issues blocking successful runs
-- IMPORTANT improvements enhancing user experience
-- NICE-TO-HAVE enhancements for polish
-
-Present these conversationally, explaining WHY each matters and HOW it would help.
-
-
-Assess instruction style fit:
-
-Based on the workflow's purpose and your analysis:
-
-- Is the current style (intent-based vs prescriptive) appropriate?
-- Would users benefit from more/less structure?
-- Are there steps that should be more adaptive?
-- Are there steps that need more specificity?
-
-Discuss style as part of improvement discovery, not as a separate concern.
-
-
-Collaborate on priorities:
-
-Don't just list options - discuss them:
-
-- "I noticed {{issue}} - this could make users feel {{problem}}. Want to address this?"
-- "The workflow could be more {{improvement}} which would help when {{use_case}}. Worth exploring?"
-- "Based on what you said about {{user_goal}}, we might want to {{suggestion}}. Thoughts?"
-
-Let the conversation flow naturally. Build a shared vision of what "better" looks like.
-
-
-improvement_goals
-
-
-
-Work iteratively - improve, review, refine. Never dump all changes at once.
-
-For each improvement area, facilitate collaboratively:
-
-1. **Explain the current state and why it matters**
- - Show relevant sections of the workflow
- - Explain how it works now and implications
- - Connect to user's goals from step 2
-
-2. **Propose improvements with rationale**
- - Suggest specific changes that align with best practices
- - Explain WHY each change helps
- - Provide examples from the loaded guides when helpful
- - Show before/after comparisons for clarity
- - Reference the creation guide's patterns naturally
-
-3. **Collaborate on the approach**
- - Ask if the proposed change addresses their need
- - Invite modifications or alternative approaches
- - Explain tradeoffs when relevant
- - Adapt based on their feedback
-
-4. **Apply changes iteratively**
- - Make one focused improvement at a time
- - Show the updated section
- - Confirm it meets their expectation
- - Move to next improvement or refine current one
-
-
-Common improvement patterns to facilitate:
-
-**If refining instruction style:**
-
-- Discuss where the workflow feels too rigid or too loose
-- Identify steps that would benefit from intent-based approach
-- Identify steps that need prescriptive structure
-- Convert between styles thoughtfully, explaining tradeoffs
-- Show how each style serves the user differently
-- Test proposed changes by reading them aloud
-
-**If improving step flow:**
-
-- Walk through the user journey step by step
-- Identify friction points or redundancy
-- Propose streamlined flow
-- Consider where steps could merge or split
-- Ensure each step has clear goal and value
-- Check that repeat conditions make sense
-
-**If fixing variable consistency:**
-
-- Identify variables used across files
-- Find mismatches in naming or usage
-- Propose consistent naming scheme
-- Update all files to match
-- Verify variables are defined in workflow.yaml
-
-**If enhancing validation:**
-
-- Review current checklist (if exists)
-- Discuss what "done well" looks like
-- Make criteria specific and measurable
-- Add validation for new features
-- Remove outdated or vague criteria
-
-**If updating configuration:**
-
-- Review standard config pattern
-- Check if user context variables are needed
-- Ensure output_folder, user_name, communication_language are used appropriately
-- Add missing config dependencies
-- Clean up unused config fields
-
-**If adding/updating templates:**
-
-- Understand the document structure needed
-- Design template variables that match instruction outputs
-- Ensure variable names are descriptive snake_case
-- Include proper metadata headers
-- Test that all variables can be filled
-
-**If configuring web bundle:**
-
-- Identify all files the workflow depends on
-- Check for invoked workflows (must be included)
-- Verify paths are {bmad_folder}/-relative
-- Remove config_source dependencies
-- Build complete file list
-
-**If improving user interaction:**
-
-- Find places where could be more open-ended
-- Add educational context where users might be lost
-- Remove unnecessary confirmation steps
-- Make questions clearer and more purposeful
-- Balance guidance with user autonomy
-
-
-Throughout improvements, educate when helpful:
-
-Share insights from the guides naturally:
-
-- "The creation guide recommends {{pattern}} for workflows like this"
-- "Looking at examples in BMM, this type of step usually {{approach}}"
-- "The execution engine expects {{structure}} for this to work properly"
-
-Connect improvements to broader BMAD principles without being preachy.
-
-
-After each significant change:
-
-- "Does this flow feel better for what you're trying to achieve?"
-- "Want to refine this further, or move to the next improvement?"
-- "How does this change affect the user experience?"
-
-
-improvement_implementation
-
-
-
-Run comprehensive validation conversationally:
-
-Don't just check boxes - explain what you're validating and why it matters:
-
-- "Let me verify all file references resolve correctly..."
-- "Checking that variables are consistent across all files..."
-- "Making sure the step flow is logical and complete..."
-- "Validating template variables match instruction outputs..."
-- "Ensuring config dependencies are properly set up..."
-
-
-Load validation checklist: {installed_path}/checklist.md
-Check all items from checklist systematically
-
-
- Present issues conversationally:
-
-Explain what's wrong and implications:
-
-- "I found {{issue}} which could cause {{problem}} when users run this"
-- "The {{component}} needs {{fix}} because {{reason}}"
-
-Propose fixes immediately:
-
-- "I can fix this by {{solution}}. Should I?"
-- "We have a couple options here: {{option1}} or {{option2}}. Thoughts?"
-
-
-Fix approved issues and re-validate
-
-
-
- Confirm success warmly:
-
-"Excellent! Everything validates cleanly:
-
-- All file references resolve
-- Variables are consistent throughout
-- Step flow is logical and complete
-- Template aligns with instructions (if applicable)
-- Config dependencies are set up correctly
-- Web bundle is complete (if applicable)
-
-Your workflow is in great shape."
-
-
-
-validation_results
-
-
-
-Create a conversational summary of what improved:
-
-Tell the story of the transformation:
-
-- "We started with {{initial_state}}"
-- "You wanted to {{user_goals}}"
-- "We made these key improvements: {{changes_list}}"
-- "Now your workflow {{improved_capabilities}}"
-
-Highlight the impact:
-
-- "This means users will experience {{benefit}}"
-- "The workflow is now more {{quality}}"
-- "It follows best practices for {{patterns}}"
-
-
-Guide next steps based on changes made:
-
-If instruction style changed:
-
-- "Since we made the workflow more {{style}}, you might want to test it with a real user to see how it feels"
-
-If template was updated:
-
-- "The template now has {{new_variables}} - run the workflow to generate a sample document"
-
-If this is part of larger module work:
-
-- "This workflow is part of {{module}} - consider if other workflows need similar improvements"
-
-If web bundle was configured:
-
-- "The web bundle is now set up - you can test deploying this workflow standalone"
-
-Be a helpful guide to what comes next, not just a task completer.
-
-
-Would you like to:
-
-- Test the edited workflow by running it
-- Edit another workflow
-- Make additional refinements to this one
-- Return to your module work

+# Step 1: Workflow Analysis
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+To load and deeply understand the target workflow, including its structure, purpose, and potential improvement areas.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ๐ CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- โ You are a workflow editor and improvement specialist
+- โ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- โ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- โ You bring workflow analysis expertise and best practices knowledge
+- โ User brings their workflow context and improvement needs
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus ONLY on analysis and understanding, not editing yet
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to suggest specific changes in this step
+- ๐ฌ Ask questions to understand the workflow path
+- ๐ช DETECT if this is a new format (standalone) or old format workflow
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Analyze workflow thoroughly and systematically
+- ๐พ Document analysis findings in {outputFile}
+- ๐ Update frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1]` before loading next step
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to load next step until user selects 'C' and analysis is complete
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- User provides the workflow path to analyze
+- Load all workflow documentation for reference
+- Focus on understanding current state, not improvements yet
+- This is about discovery and analysis
+
+## WORKFLOW ANALYSIS PROCESS:
+
+### 1. Get Workflow Information
+
+Ask the user:
+"I need two pieces of information to help you edit your workflow effectively:
+
+1. **What is the path to the workflow you want to edit?**
+ - Path to workflow.md file (new format)
+ - Path to workflow.yaml file (legacy format)
+ - Path to the workflow directory
+ - Module and workflow name (e.g., 'bmb/workflows/create-workflow')
+
+2. **What do you want to edit or improve in this workflow?**
+ - Briefly describe what you want to achieve
+ - Are there specific issues you've encountered?
+ - Any user feedback you've received?
+ - New features you want to add?
+
+This will help me focus my analysis on what matters most to you."
+
+### 2. Load Workflow Files
+
+Load the target workflow completely:
+
+- workflow.md (or workflow.yaml for old format)
+- steps/ directory with all step files
+- templates/ directory (if exists)
+- data/ directory (if exists)
+- Any additional referenced files
+
+### 3. Determine Workflow Format
+
+Detect if this is:
+
+- **New standalone format**: workflow.md with steps/ subdirectory
+- **Legacy XML format**: workflow.yaml with instructions.md
+- **Mixed format**: Partial migration
+
+### 4. Focused Analysis
+
+Analyze the workflow with attention to the user's stated goals:
+
+#### Initial Goal-Focused Analysis
+
+Based on what the user wants to edit:
+
+- If **user experience issues**: Focus on step clarity, menu patterns, instruction style
+- If **functional problems**: Focus on broken references, missing files, logic errors
+- If **new features**: Focus on integration points, extensibility, structure
+- If **compliance issues**: Focus on best practices, standards, validation
+
+#### Structure Analysis
+
+- Identify workflow type (document, action, interactive, autonomous, meta)
+- Count and examine all steps
+- Map out step flow and dependencies
+- Check for proper frontmatter in all files
+
+#### Content Analysis
+
+- Understand purpose and user journey
+- Evaluate instruction style (intent-based vs prescriptive)
+- Review menu patterns and user interaction points
+- Check variable consistency across files
+
+#### Compliance Analysis
+
+Load reference documentation as needed:
+
+- `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/workflows/architecture.md`
+- `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/workflows/templates/step-template.md`
+- `{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/workflows/templates/workflow-template.md`
+
+Check against best practices:
+
+- Step file size and structure
+- Menu handling implementation
+- Frontmatter variable usage
+- Path reference consistency
+
+### 5. Present Analysis Findings
+
+Share your analysis with the user in a conversational way:
+
+- What this workflow accomplishes (purpose and value)
+- How it's structured (type, steps, interaction pattern)
+- Format type (new standalone vs legacy)
+- Initial findings related to their stated goals
+- Potential issues or opportunities in their focus area
+
+### 6. Confirm Understanding and Refine Focus
+
+Ask:
+"Based on your goal to {{userGoal}}, I've noticed {{initialFindings}}.
+Does this align with what you were expecting? Are there other areas you'd like me to focus on in my analysis?"
+
+This allows the user to:
+
+- Confirm you're on the right track
+- Add or modify focus areas
+- Clarify any misunderstandings before proceeding
+
+### 7. Final Confirmation
+
+Ask: "Does this analysis cover what you need to move forward with editing?"
+
+## CONTENT TO APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
+
+After analysis, append to {outputFile}:
+
+Load and append the content from {analysisTemplate}
+
+### 8. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: **Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+- Use menu handling logic section below
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}
+- IF C: Save analysis to {outputFile}, update frontmatter, then only then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#7-present-menu-options)
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN C is selected and analysis is saved to document and frontmatter is updated, will you then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile} to execute and begin improvement discovery step.
+
+---
+
+## ๐จ SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### โ SUCCESS:
+
+- Target workflow loaded completely
+- Analysis performed systematically
+- Findings documented clearly
+- User confirms understanding
+- Analysis saved to {outputFile}
+
+### โ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Skipping analysis steps
+- Not loading all workflow files
+- Making suggestions without understanding
+- Not saving analysis findings
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.

+- Focus on WHAT to improve and WHY
+- Don't discuss HOW to improve yet
+- This is about detailed needs assessment, not solution design
+
+## DISCOVERY PROCESS:
+
+### 1. Understand Motivation
+
+Engage in collaborative discovery with open-ended questions:
+
+"What prompted you to want to edit this workflow?"
+
+Listen for:
+
+- User feedback they've received
+- Issues they've encountered
+- New requirements that emerged
+- Changes in user needs or context
+
+### 2. Explore User Experience
+
+Ask about how users interact with the workflow:
+
+"What feedback have you gotten from users running this workflow?"
+
+Probe for:
+
+- Confusing steps or unclear instructions
+- Points where users get stuck
+- Repetitive or tedious parts
+- Missing guidance or context
+- Friction in the user journey
+
+### 3. Assess Current Performance
+
+Discuss effectiveness:
+
+"Is the workflow achieving its intended outcome?"
+
+Explore:
+
+- Are users successful with this workflow?
+- What are the success/failure rates?
+- Where do most users drop off?
+- Are there quality issues with outputs?
+
+### 4. Identify Growth Opportunities
+
+Ask about future needs:
+
+"Are there new capabilities you want to add?"
+
+Consider:
+
+- New features or steps
+- Integration with other workflows
+- Expanded use cases
+- Enhanced flexibility
+
+### 5. Evaluate Instruction Style
+
+Discuss communication approach:
+
+"How is the instruction style working for your users?"
+
+Explore:
+
+- Is it too rigid or too loose?
+- Should certain steps be more adaptive?
+- Do some steps need more specificity?
+- Does the style match the workflow's purpose?
+
+### 6. Dive Deeper into Focus Areas
+
+Based on the focus areas identified in step 1, explore more deeply:
+
+#### For User Experience Issues
+
+"Let's explore the user experience issues you mentioned:
+
+- Which specific steps feel clunky or confusing?
+- At what points do users get stuck?
+- What kind of guidance would help them most?"
+
+#### For Functional Problems
+
+"Tell me more about the functional issues:
+
+- When do errors occur?
+- What specific functionality isn't working?
+- Are these consistent issues or intermittent?"
+
+#### For New Features
+
+"Let's detail the new features you want:
+
+- What should these features accomplish?
+- How should users interact with them?
+- Are there examples of similar workflows to reference?"
+
+#### For Compliance Issues
+
+"Let's understand the compliance concerns:
+
+- Which best practices need addressing?
+- Are there specific standards to meet?
+- What validation would be most valuable?"
+
+### 7. Organize Improvement Opportunities
+
+Based on their responses and your analysis, organize improvements:
+
+**CRITICAL Issues** (blocking successful runs):
+
+- Broken references or missing files
+- Unclear or confusing instructions
+- Missing essential functionality
+
+**IMPORTANT Improvements** (enhancing user experience):
+
+- Streamlining step flow
+- Better guidance and context
+- Improved error handling
+
+**NICE-TO-HAVE Enhancements** (for polish):
+
+- Additional validation
+- Better documentation
+- Performance optimizations
+
+### 8. Prioritize Collaboratively
+
+Work with the user to prioritize:
+"Looking at all these opportunities, which ones matter most to you right now?"
+
+Help them consider:
+
+- Impact on users
+- Effort to implement
+- Dependencies between improvements
+- Timeline constraints
+
+## CONTENT TO APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
+
+After discovery, append to {outputFile}:
+
+Load and append the content from {goalsTemplate}
+
+### 8. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: **Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+- Use menu handling logic section below
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}
+- IF C: Save goals to {outputFile}, update frontmatter, then only then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#8-present-menu-options)
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN C is selected and goals are saved to document and frontmatter is updated, will you then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile} to execute and begin collaborative improvement step.

+web_bundle: true
+---
+
+# Edit Workflow
+
+**Goal:** Collaboratively edit and improve existing workflows, ensuring they follow best practices and meet user needs effectively.
+
+**Your Role:** In addition to your name, communication_style, and persona, you are also a workflow editor and improvement specialist collaborating with a workflow owner. This is a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship. You bring expertise in workflow design patterns, best practices, and collaborative facilitation, while the user brings their workflow context, user feedback, and improvement goals. Work together as equals.
+
+---
+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+This uses **step-file architecture** for disciplined execution:
+
+### Core Principles
+
+- **Micro-file Design**: Each step is a self contained instruction file that is a part of an overall workflow that must be followed exactly
+- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only the current step file is in memory - never load future step files until told to do so
+- **Sequential Enforcement**: Sequence within the step files must be completed in order, no skipping or optimization allowed
+- **State Tracking**: Document progress in output file frontmatter using `stepsCompleted` array when a workflow produces a document
+- **Append-Only Building**: Build documents by appending content as directed to the output file
+
+### Step Processing Rules
+
+1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
+2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute all numbered sections in order, never deviate
+3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
+4. **CHECK CONTINUATION**: If the step has a menu with Continue as an option, only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
+5. **SAVE STATE**: Update `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter before loading next step
+6. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, load, read entire file, then execute the next step file
+
+### Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
+
+- ๐ **NEVER** load multiple step files simultaneously
+- ๐ **ALWAYS** read entire step file before execution
+- ๐ซ **NEVER** skip steps or optimize the sequence
+- ๐พ **ALWAYS** update frontmatter of output files when writing the final output for a specific step
+- ๐ฏ **ALWAYS** follow the exact instructions in the step file
+- โธ๏ธ **ALWAYS** halt at menus and wait for user input
+- ๐ **NEVER** create mental todo lists from future steps
+
+---
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
+
+### 1. Configuration Loading
+
+Load and read full config from {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/config.yaml and resolve:
+
+- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `user_name`, `communication_language`, `document_output_language`
+
+### 2. First Step EXECUTION
+
+Load, read the full file and then execute `{workflow_path}/steps/step-01-analyze.md` to begin the workflow.

+# Step 1: Goal Confirmation and Workflow Target
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Confirm the target workflow path and validation objectives before proceeding with systematic compliance analysis.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- ๐ NEVER generate content without user input
+- ๐ CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ๐ CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ๐ YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- โ You are a compliance validator and quality assurance specialist
+- โ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- โ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- โ You bring compliance expertise and systematic validation skills
+- โ User brings their workflow and specific compliance concerns
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- ๐ฏ Focus only on confirming workflow path and validation scope
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to proceed without clear target confirmation
+- ๐ฌ Approach: Systematic and thorough confirmation of validation objectives
+- ๐ Ensure user understands the compliance checking process and scope
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- ๐ฏ Confirm target workflow path exists and is accessible
+- ๐พ Establish clear validation objectives and scope
+- ๐ Explain the three-phase compliance checking process
+- ๐ซ FORBIDDEN to proceed without user confirmation of goals
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: User-provided workflow path and validation concerns
+- Focus: Goal confirmation and target validation setup
+- Limits: No actual compliance analysis yet, just setup and confirmation
+- Dependencies: Clear workflow path and user agreement on validation scope
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Workflow Target Confirmation
+
+Present this to the user:
+
+"I'll systematically validate your workflow against BMAD standards through three phases:
+
+1. **Workflow.md Validation** - Against workflow-template.md standards
+2. **Step-by-Step Compliance** - Each step against step-template.md
+3. **Holistic Analysis** - Flow optimization and goal alignment"
+
+IF {user_provided_path} has NOT been provided, ask the user:
+
+**What workflow should I validate?** Please provide the full path to the workflow.md file."
+
+### 2. Workflow Path Validation
+
+Once user provides path:
+
+"Validating workflow path: `{user_provided_path}`"
+[Check if path exists and is readable]
+
+**If valid:** "โ Workflow found and accessible. Ready to begin compliance analysis."
+**If invalid:** "โ Cannot access workflow at that path. Please check the path and try again."
+
+### 3. Validation Scope Confirmation
+
+"**Compliance Scope:** I will check:
+
+- โ Frontmatter structure and required fields
+- โ Mandatory execution rules and sections
+- โ Menu patterns and continuation logic
+- โ Path variable format consistency
+- โ Template usage appropriateness
+- โ Workflow flow and goal alignment
+- โ Meta-workflow failure analysis
+
+**Report Output:** I'll generate a detailed compliance report with:
+
+- Severity-ranked violations (Critical/Major/Minor)
+- Specific template references for each violation
+- Recommended fixes (automated where possible)
+- Meta-feedback for create/edit workflow improvements
+
+**Is this validation scope acceptable?**"
+
+### 4. Final Confirmation
+
+"**Ready to proceed with compliance check of:**
+
+- **Workflow:** `{workflow_name}`
+- **Validation:** Full systematic compliance analysis
+- **Output:** Detailed compliance report with fix recommendations
+
+**Select an Option:** [C] Continue [X] Exit"
+
+## Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF C: Initialize compliance report, update frontmatter, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF X: End workflow gracefully with guidance on running again later
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#4-final-confirmation)
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [workflow path validated and scope confirmed], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and begin workflow.md validation phase.
+
+---
+
+## ๐จ SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### โ SUCCESS:
+
+- Workflow path successfully validated and accessible
+- User confirms validation scope and objectives
+- Compliance report initialization prepared
+- User understands the three-phase validation process
+- Clear next steps established for systematic analysis
+
+### โ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Proceeding without valid workflow path confirmation
+- Not ensuring user understands validation scope and process
+- Starting compliance analysis without proper setup
+- Failing to establish clear reporting objectives
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.

+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Initialize Compliance Report
+
+"Beginning **Phase 1: Workflow.md Validation**
+Target: `{target_workflow_name}`
+
+**COMPLIANCE STANDARD:** All validation performed against `{workflowTemplate}` - this is THE authoritative standard for workflow.md compliance.
+
+Loading workflow templates and target files for systematic analysis..."
+[Load workflowTemplate, targetWorkflowFile]
+
+### 2. Frontmatter Structure Validation
+
+**Check these elements systematically:**
+
+"**Frontmatter Validation:**"
+
+- Required fields: name, description, web_bundle
+- Proper YAML format and syntax
+- Boolean value format for web_bundle
+- Missing or invalid fields
+
+For each violation found:
+
+- **Template Reference:** Section "Frontmatter Structure" in workflow-template.md
+- **Severity:** Critical (missing required) or Major (format issues)
+- **Specific Fix:** Exact correction needed
+
+### 3. Role Description Validation
+
+**Check role compliance:**
+
+"**Role Description Validation:**"
+
+- Follows partnership format: "In addition to your name, communication_style, and persona, you are also a [role] collaborating with [user type]. This is a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship. You bring [your expertise], while the user brings [their expertise]. Work together as equals."
+- Role accurately describes workflow function
+- User type correctly identified
+- Partnership language present
+
+For violations:
+
+- **Template Reference:** "Your Role" section in workflow-template.md
+- **Severity:** Major (deviation from standard) or Minor (incomplete)
+- **Specific Fix:** Exact wording or structure correction
+
+### 4. Workflow Architecture Validation
+
+**Validate architecture section:**
+
+"**Architecture Validation:**"
+
+- Core Principles section matches template exactly
+- Step Processing Rules includes all 6 rules from template
+- Critical Rules section matches template exactly (NO EXCEPTIONS)
+
+For each deviation:
+
+- **Template Reference:** "WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE" section in workflow-template.md
+- **Severity:** Critical (modified core principles) or Major (missing rules)
+- **Specific Fix:** Restore template-compliant text
+
+### 5. Initialization Sequence Validation
+
+**Check initialization:**
+
+"**Initialization Validation:**"
+
+- Configuration Loading uses correct path format: `{project-root}/{*bmad_folder*}/[module]/config.yaml` (variable substitution pattern)
+- First step follows pattern: `step-01-init.md` OR documented deviation
+- Required config variables properly listed
+- Variables use proper substitution pattern: {project-root}, {_bmad_folder_}, {workflow_path}, etc.
+
+For violations:
+
+- **Template Reference:** "INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE" section in workflow-template.md
+- **Severity:** Major (incorrect paths or missing variables) or Minor (format issues)
+- **Specific Fix:** Use proper variable substitution patterns for flexible installation
+
+### 6. Document Workflow.md Findings
+
+"**Workflow.md Validation Complete**
+Found [X] Critical, [Y] Major, [Z] Minor violations
+
+**Summary:**
+
+- Critical violations must be fixed before workflow can function
+- Major violations impact workflow reliability and maintainability
+- Minor violations are cosmetic but should follow standards
+
+**Next Phase:** Step-by-step validation of all step files..."
+
+### 7. Update Compliance Report
+
+Append to {complianceReportFile}:
+
+```markdown
+## Phase 1: Workflow.md Validation Results
+
+### Template Adherence Analysis
+
+**Reference Standard:** {workflowTemplate}

+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Initialize Step Validation Phase
+
+"Beginning **Phase 2: Step-by-Step Validation**
+Target: `{target_workflow_name}` - [number] step files found
+
+**COMPLIANCE STANDARD:** All validation performed against `{stepTemplate}` - this is THE authoritative standard for step file compliance.
+
+Loading step template and validating each step systematically..."
+[Load stepTemplate, enumerate all step files]. Utilize sub processes if available but ensure all rules are passed in and all findings are returned from the sub process to collect and record the results.
+
+### 2. Systematic Step File Analysis
+
+For each step file in order:
+
+"**Validating step:** `{step_filename}`"
+
+**A. Frontmatter Structure Validation:**
+Check each required field:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: 'step-[number]-[name]' # Single quotes, proper format
+description: '[description]' # Single quotes
+workflowFile: '{workflow_path}/workflow.md' # REQUIRED - often missing
+outputFile: [if appropriate for workflow type]
+# All other path references and variables
+# Template References section (even if empty)
+# Task References section
+---
+```
+
+**Violations to document:**
+
+- Missing `workflowFile` reference (Critical)
+- Incorrect YAML format (missing quotes, etc.) (Major)
+- Inappropriate `outputFile` for workflow type (Major)
+- Missing `Template References` section (Major)
+
+**B. MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES Validation:**

+
+```yaml
+# Task References
+advancedElicitationTask: '{project-root}/{*bmad_folder*}/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml'
+partyModeWorkflow: '{project-root}/{*bmad_folder*}/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.md'
+```
+
+**Violations to document:**
+
+- Missing Task References section (Major)
+- Incorrect paths in task references (Major)

+### 3. Workflow Type Appropriateness Check
+
+"**Template Usage Analysis:**"
+
+- **Document Creation Workflows:** Should have outputFile references, templates
+- **Editing Workflows:** Should NOT create unnecessary outputs, direct action focus
+- **Validation/Analysis Workflows:** Should emphasize systematic checking
+
+For each step:
+
+- **Type Match:** Does step content match workflow type expectations?
+- **Template Appropriate:** Are templates/outputs appropriate for this workflow type?
+- **Alternative Suggestion:** What would be more appropriate?
+
+### 4. Path Variable Consistency Check
+
+"**Path Variable Validation:**"
+
+- Check format: `{project-root}/{*bmad_folder*}/bmb/...` vs `{project-root}/src/modules/bmb/...`
+- Ensure consistent variable usage across all step files
+- Validate relative vs absolute path usage
+
+Document inconsistencies and standard format requirements.

+---
+
+# Workflow Compliance Check
+
+**Goal:** Systematically validate workflows against BMAD standards through adversarial analysis, generating detailed compliance reports with severity-ranked violations and improvement recommendations.
+
+**Your Role:** In addition to your name, communication_style, and persona, you are also a compliance validator and quality assurance specialist collaborating with a workflow owner. This is a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship. You bring expertise in BMAD standards, workflow architecture, and systematic validation, while the user brings their workflow and specific compliance concerns. Work together as equals.
+
+---
+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+This uses **step-file architecture** for disciplined execution:
+
+### Core Principles
+
+- **Micro-file Design**: Each step is a self contained instruction file that is a part of an overall workflow that must be followed exactly
+- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only the current step file is in memory - never load future step files until told to do so
+- **Sequential Enforcement**: Sequence within the step files must be completed in order, no skipping or optimization allowed
+- **State Tracking**: Document progress in context for compliance checking (no output file frontmatter needed)
+- **Append-Only Building**: Build compliance reports by appending content as directed to the output file
+
+### Step Processing Rules
+
+1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
+2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute all numbered sections in order, never deviate
+3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
+4. **CHECK CONTINUATION**: If the step has a menu with Continue as an option, only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
+5. **SAVE STATE**: Update `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter before loading next step
+6. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, load, read entire file, then execute the next step file
+
+### Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
+
+- ๐ **NEVER** load multiple step files simultaneously
+- ๐ **ALWAYS** read entire step file before execution
+- ๐ซ **NEVER** skip steps or optimize the sequence
+- ๐พ **ALWAYS** update frontmatter of output files when writing the final output for a specific step
+- ๐ฏ **ALWAYS** follow the exact instructions in the step file
+- โธ๏ธ **ALWAYS** halt at menus and wait for user input
+- ๐ **NEVER** create mental todo lists from future steps
+
+---
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
+
+### 1. Configuration Loading
+
+Load and read full config from {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/config.yaml and resolve:
+
+- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `user_name`, `communication_language`, `document_output_language`
+
+### 2. First Step EXECUTION
+
+Load, read the full file and then execute `{workflow_path}/steps/step-01-validate-goal.md` to begin the workflow. If the path to a workflow was provided, set `user_provided_path` to that path.

+
+Template for project-specific brainstorming context. Used by:
+
+- Analyst agent `brainstorm-project` command
+- Core brainstorming workflow when called with context
+
+### `documentation-standards.md`
+
+BMAD documentation standards and guidelines. Used by:
+
+- Tech Writer agent (critical action loading)
+- Various documentation workflows
+- Standards validation and review processes
+
+## Purpose
+
+Separates module-specific data from core workflow implementations, maintaining clean architecture:
+
+- Core workflows remain generic and reusable
+- Module-specific templates and standards are properly scoped
+- Data files can be easily maintained and updated
+- Clear separation of concerns between core and module functionality

+# Project Brainstorming Context Template
+
+## Project Focus Areas
+
+This brainstorming session focuses on software and product development considerations:
+
+### Key Exploration Areas
+
+- **User Problems and Pain Points** - What challenges do users face?
+- **Feature Ideas and Capabilities** - What could the product do?
+- **Technical Approaches** - How might we build it?
+- **User Experience** - How will users interact with it?
+- **Business Model and Value** - How does it create value?
+- **Market Differentiation** - What makes it unique?
+- **Technical Risks and Challenges** - What could go wrong?
+- **Success Metrics** - How will we measure success?
+
+### Integration with Project Workflow
+
+Brainstorming results will feed into:
+
+- Product Briefs for initial product vision
+- PRDs for detailed requirements
+- Technical Specifications for architecture plans
+- Research Activities for validation needs
+
+### Expected Outcomes
+
+Capture:
+
+1. Problem Statements - Clearly defined user challenges
+2. Solution Concepts - High-level approach descriptions
+3. Feature Priorities - Categorized by importance and feasibility
+4. Technical Considerations - Architecture and implementation thoughts
+5. Next Steps - Actions needed to advance concepts
+6. Integration Points - Connections to downstream workflows
+
+---
+
+_Use this template to provide project-specific context for brainstorming sessions. Customize the focus areas based on your project's specific needs and stage._

+```
+
+### Step 1: Optional Technical Specification
+
+The `create-tech-spec` workflow transforms requirements into implementation-ready specifications.
+
+**Key Features:**
+
+- Conversational spec engineering
+- Automatic codebase pattern detection
+- Context gathering from existing code
+- Implementation-ready task breakdown
+- Acceptance criteria definition
+
+**Process Flow:**
+
+1. **Problem Understanding**
+ - Greet user and gather requirements
+ - Ask clarifying questions about scope and constraints
+ - Check for existing project context
+
+2. **Code Investigation (Brownfield)**
+ - Analyze existing codebase patterns
+ - Document tech stack and conventions
+ - Identify files to modify and dependencies
+
+3. **Specification Generation**
+ - Create structured tech specification
+ - Define clear tasks and acceptance criteria
+ - Document technical decisions
+ - Include development context
+
+4. **Review and Finalize**
+ - Present spec for validation
+ - Make adjustments as needed
+ - Save to sprint artifacts
+
+**Output:** `{sprint_artifacts}/tech-spec-{slug}.md`
+
+### Step 2: Development
+
+The `quick-dev` workflow executes implementation with flexibility and speed.
+
+**Two Execution Modes:**
+
+**Mode A: Tech-Spec Driven**
+
+```bash
+# Execute from tech spec
+quick-dev tech-spec-feature-x.md
+```
+
+- Loads and parses technical specification
+- Extracts tasks, context, and acceptance criteria
+- Executes all tasks in sequence
+- Updates spec status on completion
+
+**Mode B: Direct Instructions**
+
+```bash
+# Direct development commands
+quick-dev "Add password reset to auth service"
+quick-dev "Fix the memory leak in image processing"
+```
+
+- Accepts direct development instructions
+- Offers optional planning step
+- Executes immediately with minimal friction
+
+**Development Process:**
+
+1. **Context Loading**
+ - Load project context if available
+ - Understand patterns and conventions
+ - Identify relevant files and dependencies
+
+2. **Implementation Loop**
+ For each task:
+ - Load relevant files and context
+ - Implement following established patterns
+ - Write appropriate tests
+ - Run and verify tests pass
+ - Mark task complete and continue
+
+3. **Continuous Execution**
+ - Works through all tasks without stopping
+ - Handles failures by requesting guidance
+ - Ensures tests pass before continuing
+
+4. **Verification**
+ - Confirms all tasks complete
+ - Validates acceptance criteria
+ - Updates tech spec status if used
+
+### Step 3: Optional Code Review
+
+The `code-review` workflow provides senior developer review of implemented code.
+
+**When to Use:**
+
+- Production-critical features
+- Security-sensitive implementations
+- Performance optimizations
+- Team development scenarios
+- Learning and knowledge transfer
+
+**Review Process:**
+
+1. Load story context and acceptance criteria
+2. Analyze code implementation
+3. Check against project patterns
+4. Validate test coverage
+5. Provide structured review notes
+6. Suggest improvements if needed

+## Regenerating SVG from Excalidraw
+
+When you edit `workflow-method-greenfield.excalidraw`, regenerate the SVG:
+
+1. Open https://excalidraw.com/
+2. Load the `.excalidraw` file
+3. Click menu (โฐ) โ Export image โ SVG
+4. **Set "Scale" to 1x** (default is 2x)
+5. Click "Export"
+6. Save as `workflow-method-greenfield.svg`
+7. **Validate the changes** (see below)
+8. Commit both files together
+
+**Important:**
+
+- Always use **1x scale** to maintain consistent dimensions
+- Automated export tools (`excalidraw-to-svg`) are broken - use manual export only
+
+## Visual Validation
+
+After regenerating the SVG, validate that it renders correctly:
+
+```bash
+./tools/validate-svg-changes.sh src/modules/bmm/docs/images/workflow-method-greenfield.svg
+```
+
+This script:
+
+- Checks for required dependencies (Playwright, ImageMagick)
+- Installs Playwright locally if needed (no package.json pollution)
+- Renders old vs new SVG using browser-accurate rendering
+- Compares pixel-by-pixel and generates a diff image
+- Outputs a prompt for AI visual analysis (paste into Gemini/Claude)
+
+**Threshold**: <0.01% difference is acceptable (anti-aliasing variations)

+ - For exec="path/to/file.md": follow the `handler type="exec"` instructions
+ - For workflow="path/to/workflow.yaml": follow the `handler type="workflow"` instructions
+ - For action="...": Perform the specified action directly
+ 5. Support both exact matches and fuzzy matching based on the match attribute
+ 6. If no handler matches, prompt user to choose from available options

+ * AI NOTE: This implements the injection point pattern for TTS integration.
+ * Key architectural decisions:
+ *
+ * 1. **Why Injection Points vs Direct Integration?**
+ * - BMAD and TTS providers are separate projects with different maintainers
+ * - Users may install BMAD without TTS support (and vice versa)
+ * - Hard-coding TTS calls would break BMAD for non-TTS users
+ * - Injection points allow conditional feature inclusion at install-time
+ *
+ * 2. **How It Works:**
+ * - BMAD source contains markers:
+ * - During installation, user is prompted: "Enable AgentVibes TTS?"
+ * - If YES: markers โ replaced with actual bash TTS calls
+ * - If NO: markers โ stripped cleanly from installed files
+ *
+ * 3. **State Management:**
+ * - this.enableAgentVibes set in install() method from config.enableAgentVibes
+ * - config.enableAgentVibes comes from ui.promptAgentVibes() user choice
+ * - Flag persists for entire installation, all files get same treatment
+ *
+ * CURRENT INJECTION POINTS:
+ * ==========================
+ * - party-mode: Injects TTS calls after each agent speaks in party mode
+ * Location: src/core/workflows/party-mode/instructions.md
+ * Marker:
+ * Replacement: Bash call to .claude/hooks/bmad-speak.sh with agent name and dialogue
+ *
+ * - agent-tts: Injects TTS rule for individual agent conversations
+ * Location: src/modules/bmm/agents/*.md (all agent files)
+ * Marker:
+ * Replacement: Rule instructing agent to call bmad-speak.sh with agent ID and response
+ *
+ * ADDING NEW INJECTION POINTS:
+ * =============================
+ * 1. Add new case in this function:
+ * content = content.replace(
+ * //g,
+ * `code to inject when enabled`
+ * );
+ *
+ * 2. Add marker to BMAD source file at injection location

+ * @patterns Progressive disclosure (prompts in order), early IDE selection (Windows compat), AgentVibes auto-detection
