# Testing AgentVibes Party Mode (PR #934)
This guide helps you test the AgentVibes integration that adds multi-agent party mode with unique voices for each BMAD agent.
## Quick Start
We've created an automated test script that handles everything for you:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paulpreibisch/BMAD-METHOD/feature/agentvibes-tts-integration/test-bmad-pr.sh -o test-bmad-pr.sh
chmod +x test-bmad-pr.sh
./test-bmad-pr.sh
```
## What the Script Does
The automated script will:
1. Clone the BMAD repository
2. Checkout the PR branch with party mode features
3. Install BMAD CLI tools locally
4. Create a test BMAD project
5. Install AgentVibes TTS system
6. Configure unique voices for each agent
7. Verify the installation
## Prerequisites
- Node.js and npm installed
- Git installed
- ~500MB free disk space
- 10-15 minutes for complete setup
## Manual Testing (Alternative)
If you prefer manual installation:
### 1. Clone and Setup BMAD
```bash
git clone https://github.com/paulpreibisch/BMAD-METHOD.git
cd BMAD-METHOD
git fetch origin pull/934/head:agentvibes-party-mode
git checkout agentvibes-party-mode
cd tools/cli
npm install
npm link
```
### 2. Create Test Project
```bash
mkdir -p ~/bmad-test-project
cd ~/bmad-test-project
bmad install
```
When prompted:
- Enable TTS for agents? → **Yes**
- The installer will automatically prompt you to install AgentVibes
### 3. Test Party Mode
```bash
cd ~/bmad-test-project
claude-code
```
In Claude Code, run:
```
/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode
```
Each BMAD agent should speak with a unique voice!
## Verification
After installation, verify:
✅ Voice map file exists: `.bmad/_cfg/agent-voice-map.csv`
✅ BMAD TTS hooks exist: `.claude/hooks/bmad-speak.sh`
✅ Each agent has a unique voice assigned
✅ Party mode works with distinct voices
## Troubleshooting
**No audio?**
- Check: `.claude/hooks/play-tts.sh` exists
- Test current voice: `/agent-vibes:whoami`
**Same voice for all agents?**
- Check: `.bmad/_cfg/agent-voice-map.csv` has different voices
- List available voices: `/agent-vibes:list`
## Report Issues
Found a bug? Report it on the PR:
https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/pull/934
## Cleanup
To remove the test installation:
```bash
# Remove test directory
rm -rf ~/bmad-test-project # or your custom test directory
# Unlink BMAD CLI (optional)
cd ~/BMAD-METHOD/tools/cli
npm unlink
```

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: |
<instructions>
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.
</instructions>
<process>
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
</process>
Show me your changes and I'll craft the message.
- id: analyze-changes
content: |
<instructions>
- 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.
</instructions>
<analysis_output>
- **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
</analysis_output>
Share your diff or describe your changes.
- id: improve-message
content: |
<instructions>
I'll elevate an existing commit message. Share:
1. Your current message
2. Optionally: the actual changes for context
</instructions>
<improvement_process>
- 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
</improvement_process>
- id: batch-commits
content: |
<instructions>
For multiple related commits, I'll help create a coherent sequence. Share your set of changes.
</instructions>
<batch_approach>
- 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
</batch_approach>
<example>
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
</example>

# 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 <name>
# Bundle specific agent
node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js agent <module> <agent>
# Bundle specific team
node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js team <module> <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/
├── {module}/
│ ├── agents/
│ │ └── {agent-name}.md
│ └── teams/
│ └── {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.)

## 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

# Modules Domain
## File Index
### Module Source Locations
- @/src/modules/bmb/ - BMAD Builder module
- @/src/modules/bmgd/ - BMAD Game Development module
- @/src/modules/bmm/ - BMAD Method module (flagship)
- @/src/modules/cis/ - Creative Innovation Studio module
- @/src/modules/core/ - Core module (always installed)
### Module Structure Pattern
```
src/modules/{module-name}/
├── agents/ # Agent YAML files
├── workflows/ # Workflow directories
├── tasks/ # Task definitions
├── tools/ # Tool definitions
├── templates/ # Document templates
├── teams/ # Team definitions
├── _module-installer/ # Custom installer (optional)
│ └── installer.js
├── sub-modules/ # IDE-specific customizations
│ └── {ide-name}/
│ ├── injections.yaml
│ ├── config.yaml
│ └── sub-agents/
├── install-config.yaml # Module install configuration
└── 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 |

# 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-<module>-<agent-name>.md`
### File Structure
After installation, your project will have:
```
project-root/
├── .rovodev/
│ ├── subagents/
│ │ ├── bmad-core-code-reviewer.md
│ │ ├── bmad-bmm-pm.md
│ │ ├── bmad-bmm-dev.md
│ │ └── ... (more agents from selected modules)
│ ├── workflows/
│ │ ├── bmad-brainstorming.md
│ │ ├── bmad-prd-creation.md
│ │ └── ... (workflow guides)
│ ├── references/
│ │ ├── bmad-task-core-code-review.md
│ │ ├── bmad-tool-core-analysis.md
│ │ └── ... (task/tool references)
│ ├── config.yml (Rovo Dev configuration)
│ ├── prompts.yml (Optional: reusable prompts)
│ └── ...
├── .bmad/ (BMAD installation directory)
└── ...
```
**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

## Example Workflow
```bash
# Start with Barry
/bmad:bmm:agents:quick-flow-solo-dev
# Create a tech spec
> create-tech-spec
# Quick implementation
> quick-dev tech-spec-auth.md
# Optional code review
> code-review
```
### Sample Tech Spec Structure
```markdown
# Tech-Spec: User Authentication System
**Created:** 2025-01-15
**Status:** Ready for Development
## Overview
### Problem Statement
Users cannot securely access the application, and we need role-based permissions for enterprise features.
### Solution
Implement OAuth 2.0 authentication with JWT tokens and role-based access control (RBAC).
### Scope (In/Out)
**In:** Login, logout, password reset, role management
**Out:** Social login, SSO, multi-factor authentication (Phase 2)
## Context for Development
### Codebase Patterns
- Use existing auth middleware pattern in `src/middleware/auth.js`
- Follow service layer pattern from `src/services/`
- JWT secrets managed via environment variables
### Files to Reference
- `src/middleware/auth.js` - Authentication middleware
- `src/models/User.js` - User data model
- `config/database.js` - Database connection
### Technical Decisions
- JWT tokens over sessions for API scalability
- bcrypt for password hashing
- Role-based permissions stored in database
## Implementation Plan
### Tasks
- [ ] Create authentication service
- [ ] Implement login/logout endpoints
- [ ] Add JWT middleware
- [ ] Create role-based permissions
- [ ] Write comprehensive tests
### Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Given valid credentials, when user logs in, then receive JWT token
- [ ] Given invalid token, when accessing protected route, then return 401
- [ ] Given admin role, when accessing admin endpoint, then allow access
```

# BMad Quick Spec Flow
**Perfect for:** Bug fixes, small features, rapid prototyping, and quick enhancements
**Time to implementation:** Minutes, not hours
---
## What is Quick Spec Flow?
Quick Spec Flow is a **streamlined alternative** to the full BMad Method for Quick Flow track projects. Instead of going through Product Brief → PRD → Architecture, you go **straight to a context-aware technical specification** and start coding.
### When to Use Quick Spec Flow
✅ **Use Quick Flow track when:**
- Single bug fix or small enhancement
- Small feature with clear scope (typically 1-15 stories)
- Rapid prototyping or experimentation
- Adding to existing brownfield codebase
- You know exactly what you want to build
❌ **Use BMad Method or Enterprise tracks when:**
- Building new products or major features
- Need stakeholder alignment
- Complex multi-team coordination
- Requires extensive planning and architecture
💡 **Not sure?** Run `workflow-init` to get a recommendation based on your project's needs!

- Research documents
- `document-project` output (brownfield codebase map)
### 2. Project Stack
- **Node.js:** package.json → frameworks, dependencies, scripts, test framework
- **Python:** requirements.txt, pyproject.toml → packages, tools
- **Ruby:** Gemfile → gems and versions
- **Java:** pom.xml, build.gradle → Maven/Gradle dependencies
- **Go:** go.mod → modules
- **Rust:** Cargo.toml → crates
- **PHP:** composer.json → packages
### 3. Brownfield Code Patterns
- Directory structure and organization
- Existing code patterns (class-based, functional, MVC)
- Naming conventions (camelCase, snake_case, PascalCase)
- Test frameworks and patterns
- Code style (semicolons, quotes, indentation)
- Linter/formatter configs
- Error handling patterns
- Logging conventions

### 4. Convention Confirmation
**IMPORTANT:** Quick Spec Flow detects your conventions and **asks for confirmation**:
```
I've detected these conventions in your codebase:
Code Style:
- ESLint with Airbnb config
- Prettier with single quotes, 2-space indent
- No semicolons
Test Patterns:
- Jest test framework
- .test.js file naming
- expect() assertion style
Should I follow these existing conventions? (yes/no)
```
**You decide:** Conform to existing patterns or establish new standards!

## Complete User Journey
### Scenario 1: Bug Fix (Single Change)
**Goal:** Fix login validation bug
**Steps:**
1. **Start:** Load PM agent, say "I want to fix the login validation bug"
2. **PM runs tech-spec workflow:**
- Asks: "What problem are you solving?"
- You explain the validation issue
- Detects your Node.js stack (Express 4.18.2, Jest for testing)
- Analyzes existing UserService code patterns
- Asks: "Should I follow your existing conventions?" → You say yes
- Generates tech-spec.md with specific file paths and patterns
- Creates story-login-fix.md
3. **Implement:** Load DEV agent, run `dev-story`

- Implements fix following existing patterns
- Runs tests (following existing Jest patterns)
- Done!
**Total time:** 15-30 minutes (mostly implementation)
---
### Scenario 2: Small Feature (Multi-Story)
**Goal:** Add OAuth social login (Google, GitHub)
**Steps:**
1. **Start:** Load PM agent, say "I want to add OAuth social login"
2. **PM runs tech-spec workflow:**
- Asks about the feature scope
- You specify: Google and GitHub OAuth
- Detects your stack (Next.js 13.4, NextAuth.js already installed!)
- Analyzes existing auth patterns
- Confirms conventions with you
- Generates:
- tech-spec.md (comprehensive implementation guide)
- epics.md (OAuth Integration epic)
- story-oauth-1.md (Backend OAuth setup)
- story-oauth-2.md (Frontend login buttons)
3. **Optional Sprint Planning:** Load SM agent, run `sprint-planning`
4. **Implement Story 1:**
- Load DEV agent, run `dev-story` for story 1
- DEV implements backend OAuth
5. **Implement Story 2:**
- DEV agent, run `dev-story` for story 2
- DEV implements frontend
- Done!
**Total time:** 1-3 hours (mostly implementation)

### Q: Do I need story-context for every story?
**A:** Usually no! Tech-spec is comprehensive enough for most Quick Flow projects. Only use story-context for complex edge cases.
### Q: Can I skip validation?
**A:** No, validation always runs automatically. But it's fast and catches issues early!
### Q: Will it work with my team's code style?
**A:** Yes! It detects your conventions and asks for confirmation. You control whether to follow existing patterns or establish new ones.
---
## Tips and Best Practices
### 1. **Be Specific in Discovery**
When describing your change, provide specifics:
- ✅ "Fix email validation in UserService to allow plus-addressing"
- ❌ "Fix validation bug"
### 2. **Trust the Convention Detection**
If it detects your patterns correctly, say yes! It's faster than establishing new conventions.
### 3. **Use WebSearch Recommendations for Greenfield**
Starter templates save hours of setup time. Let Quick Spec Flow find the best ones.
### 4. **Review the Auto-Validation**
When validation runs, read the scores. They tell you if your spec is production-ready.
### 5. **Story Context is Optional**
For single changes, try going directly to dev-story first. Only add story-context if you hit complexity.
### 6. **Keep Single Changes Truly Atomic**
If your "single change" needs 3+ files, it might be a multi-story feature. Let the workflow guide you.
### 7. **Validate Story Sequence for Multi-Story Features**
When you get multiple stories, check the dependency validation output. Proper sequence matters!
---
## Real-World Examples
### Example 1: Adding Logging (Single Change)
**Input:** "Add structured logging to payment processing"
**Tech-Spec Output:**
- Detected: winston 3.8.2 already in package.json
- Analyzed: Existing services use winston with JSON format
- Confirmed: Follow existing logging patterns
- Generated: Specific file paths, log levels, format example
- Story: Ready to implement in 1-2 hours
**Result:** Consistent logging added, following team patterns, no research needed.
---
### Example 2: Search Feature (Multi-Story)
**Input:** "Add search to product catalog with filters"
**Tech-Spec Output:**
- Detected: React 18.2.0, MUI component library, Express backend
- Analyzed: Existing ProductList component patterns
- Confirmed: Follow existing API and component structure
- Generated:
- Epic: Product Search Functionality
- Story 1: Backend search API with filters
- Story 2: Frontend search UI component
- Auto-validated: Story 1 → Story 2 sequence correct
**Result:** Search feature implemented in 4-6 hours with proper architecture.

<step n="3" goal="User Journeys">
<critical>This step covers ALL user types - end users, admins, moderators, support, API consumers. If a human interacts with the system, there's a journey. No journey = no FRs = doesn't exist.</critical>
<action>Identify all user types first:
Before exploring journeys, ask the user:
"Besides the primary user, who else interacts with this system?"
Consider these common user types:
- End users (primary)
- Admins - manage users, settings, content
- Moderators - review flagged content, enforce rules
- Support staff - help users, investigate issues
- API consumers - if dev tool or platform
- Internal ops - analytics, monitoring, billing
List all user types before proceeding.</action>
<action>Create detailed narrative user journeys with personas:
For each user type identified, create rich, detailed journeys following this pattern:
**Journey Creation Process:**
**1. Develop the Persona**
Give them a name, context, and motivation:
- **Name**: Realistic name (Maria, Marcus, Jordan, etc.)
- **Backstory**: Who they are, what they want, why they need this
- **Motivation**: Core problem they're trying to solve
- **Emotional state**: How they feel about solving this problem
Example: "Maria is a working parent who wants to cook healthy meals for her family but struggles with meal planning and limited evening time. She's tired of the same rotating dishes and wants inspiration that fits her schedule."
**2. Map Their Complete Journey**
Document their end-to-end experience:
- **Entry point**: How they discover and access the product
- **Key steps**: Each touchpoint in sequence (use arrows →)
- **Critical actions**: What they do at each step
- **Decision points**: Choices they make
- **Success moment**: Where they achieve their goal
- **Exit point**: How the journey concludes
**3. Use This Exact Format for Each Journey:**
**Journey [Number]: [Persona Name] - [Journey Theme]**
[Persona description with backstory and motivation]
- [Entry point] → [step 1] → [step 2] → [step 3] → [critical moment] → [step N] → [completion]
**4. Explore Journey Details Conversationally**
For each journey, ask:
- "What happens at each step specifically?"
- "What could go wrong here? What's the recovery path?"
- "What information do they need to see/hear?"
- "What's their emotional state at each point?"
- "Where does this journey succeed or fail?"
**5. Connect Journeys to Requirements**
After each journey, explicitly state:
"This journey reveals requirements for:"
- List specific capability areas (e.g., onboarding, meal planning, admin dashboard)
- Help user see how different journeys create different feature sets
**Example Output Structure:**
**Journey 1: Maria - First Recipe Discovery**
Maria is a working parent who wants to cook healthy meals for her family but struggles with meal planning...
- Discovers via search → lands on recipe page → signs up → completes preferences → browses recommendations → saves first recipe → adds to meal plan
**Journey 2: [Persona] - [Theme]**
[Persona description with context]
- [Step sequence] → [critical moment] → [completion]
**Journey 3: [Admin/Support Persona] - [Admin Theme]**
[Admin persona description]
- [Admin workflow] → [decision point] → [system outcome]</action>
<action>Guide journey exploration to cover all key areas:
**Aim for 3-4 journeys minimum:**
1. Primary user - happy path (core experience)
2. Primary user - edge case (different goal, error recovery)
3. Secondary user (admin, moderator, support, etc.)
4. API consumer (if applicable)
**Ask after each:** "Another journey? We should cover [suggest uncovered user type]"
**Use journeys to reveal requirements:**
Each journey reveals different capabilities needed:
- Admin journey → admin dashboard, user management
- Support journey → ticket system, user lookup tools
- API journey → documentation, rate limiting, keys
- Error recovery → retry mechanisms, help content</action>

# Tech-Spec Workflow Validation Checklist
**Purpose**: Validate tech-spec workflow outputs are context-rich, definitive, complete, and implementation-ready.
**Scope**: Quick-flow software projects (1-5 stories)
**Expected Outputs**: tech-spec.md + epics.md + story files (1-5 stories)
**New Standard**: Tech-spec should be comprehensive enough to replace story-context for most quick-flow projects
---
## 1. Output Files Exist
- [ ] tech-spec.md created in output folder
- [ ] epics.md created (minimal for 1 story, detailed for multiple)
- [ ] Story file(s) created in sprint_artifacts
- Naming convention: story-{epic-slug}-N.md (where N = 1 to story_count)
- 1 story: story-{epic-slug}-1.md
- Multiple stories: story-{epic-slug}-1.md through story-{epic-slug}-N.md
- [ ] bmm-workflow-status.yaml updated (if not standalone mode)
- [ ] No unfilled {{template_variables}} in any files
---
## 2. Context Gathering (NEW - CRITICAL)
### Document Discovery
- [ ] **Existing documents loaded**: Product brief, research docs found and incorporated (if they exist)
- [ ] **Document-project output**: Checked for {output_folder}/index.md (brownfield codebase map)
- [ ] **Sharded documents**: If sharded versions found, ALL sections loaded and synthesized
- [ ] **Context summary**: loaded_documents_summary lists all sources used
### Project Stack Detection
- [ ] **Setup files identified**: package.json, requirements.txt, or equivalent found and parsed
- [ ] **Framework detected**: Exact framework name and version captured (e.g., "Express 4.18.2")
- [ ] **Dependencies extracted**: All production dependencies with specific versions
- [ ] **Dev tools identified**: TypeScript, Jest, ESLint, pytest, etc. with versions
- [ ] **Scripts documented**: Available npm/pip/etc scripts identified
- [ ] **Stack summary**: project_stack_summary is complete and accurate
### Brownfield Analysis (if applicable)
- [ ] **Directory structure**: Main code directories identified and documented
- [ ] **Code patterns**: Dominant patterns identified (class-based, functional, MVC, etc.)
- [ ] **Naming conventions**: Existing conventions documented (camelCase, snake_case, etc.)
- [ ] **Key modules**: Important existing modules/services identified
- [ ] **Testing patterns**: Test framework and patterns documented
- [ ] **Structure summary**: existing_structure_summary is comprehensive
---
## 3. Tech-Spec Definitiveness (CRITICAL)
### No Ambiguity Allowed
- [ ] **Zero "or" statements**: NO "use X or Y", "either A or B", "options include"
- [ ] **Specific versions**: All frameworks, libraries, tools have EXACT versions
- ✅ GOOD: "Python 3.11", "React 18.2.0", "winston v3.8.2 (from package.json)"
- ❌ BAD: "Python 2 or 3", "React 18+", "a logger like pino or winston"
- [ ] **Definitive decisions**: Every technical choice is final, not a proposal
- [ ] **Stack-aligned**: Decisions reference detected project stack
### Implementation Clarity
- [ ] **Source tree changes**: EXACT file paths with CREATE/MODIFY/DELETE actions
- ✅ GOOD: "src/services/UserService.ts - MODIFY - Add validateEmail() method"
- ❌ BAD: "Update some files in the services folder"
- [ ] **Technical approach**: Describes SPECIFIC implementation using detected stack
- [ ] **Existing patterns**: Documents brownfield patterns to follow (if applicable)
- [ ] **Integration points**: Specific modules, APIs, services identified
---
## 4. Context-Rich Content (NEW)
### Context Section
- [ ] **Available Documents**: Lists all loaded documents
- [ ] **Project Stack**: Complete framework and dependency information
- [ ] **Existing Codebase Structure**: Brownfield analysis or greenfield notation
### The Change Section
- [ ] **Problem Statement**: Clear, specific problem definition
- [ ] **Proposed Solution**: Concrete solution approach
- [ ] **Scope In/Out**: Clear boundaries defined
### Development Context Section
- [ ] **Relevant Existing Code**: References to specific files and line numbers (brownfield)
- [ ] **Framework Dependencies**: Complete list with exact versions from project
- [ ] **Internal Dependencies**: Internal modules listed
- [ ] **Configuration Changes**: Specific config file updates identified
### Developer Resources Section
- [ ] **File Paths Reference**: Complete list of all files involved
- [ ] **Key Code Locations**: Functions, classes, modules with file:line references
- [ ] **Testing Locations**: Specific test directories and patterns
- [ ] **Documentation Updates**: Docs that need updating identified
---
## 5. Story Quality
### Story Format
- [ ] All stories use "As a [role], I want [capability], so that [benefit]" format
- [ ] Each story has numbered acceptance criteria
- [ ] Tasks reference AC numbers: (AC: #1), (AC: #2)
- [ ] Dev Notes section links to tech-spec.md
### Story Context Integration (NEW)
- [ ] **Tech-Spec Reference**: Story explicitly references tech-spec.md as primary context
- [ ] **Dev Agent Record**: Includes all required sections (Context Reference, Agent Model, etc.)
- [ ] **Test Results section**: Placeholder ready for dev execution
- [ ] **Review Notes section**: Placeholder ready for code review
### Story Sequencing (If Level 1)
- [ ] **Vertical slices**: Each story delivers complete, testable functionality
- [ ] **Sequential ordering**: Stories in logical progression
- [ ] **No forward dependencies**: No story depends on later work
- [ ] Each story leaves system in working state
### Coverage
- [ ] Story acceptance criteria derived from tech-spec
- [ ] Story tasks map to tech-spec implementation guide
- [ ] Files in stories match tech-spec source tree
- [ ] Key code references align with tech-spec Developer Resources
---
## 6. Epic Quality (All Projects)
- [ ] **Epic title**: User-focused outcome (not implementation detail)
- [ ] **Epic slug**: Clean kebab-case slug (2-3 words)
- [ ] **Epic goal**: Clear purpose and value statement
- [ ] **Epic scope**: Boundaries clearly defined
- [ ] **Success criteria**: Measurable outcomes
- [ ] **Story map** (if multiple stories): Visual representation of epic → stories
- [ ] **Implementation sequence** (if multiple stories): Logical story ordering with dependencies
- [ ] **Tech-spec reference**: Links back to tech-spec.md
- [ ] **Detail level appropriate**: Minimal for 1 story, detailed for multiple
---
## 7. Workflow Status Integration
- [ ] bmm-workflow-status.yaml updated (if exists)
- [ ] Current phase reflects tech-spec completion
- [ ] Progress percentage updated appropriately
- [ ] Next workflow clearly identified
---
## 8. Implementation Readiness (NEW - ENHANCED)
### Can Developer Start Immediately?
- [ ] **All context available**: Brownfield analysis + stack details + existing patterns
- [ ] **No research needed**: Developer doesn't need to hunt for framework versions or patterns
- [ ] **Specific file paths**: Developer knows exactly which files to create/modify
- [ ] **Code references**: Can find similar code to reference (brownfield)
- [ ] **Testing clear**: Knows what to test and how
- [ ] **Deployment documented**: Knows how to deploy and rollback
### Tech-Spec Replaces Story-Context?
- [ ] **Comprehensive enough**: Contains all info typically in story-context XML
- [ ] **Brownfield analysis**: If applicable, includes codebase reconnaissance
- [ ] **Framework specifics**: Exact versions and usage patterns
- [ ] **Pattern guidance**: Shows examples of existing patterns to follow
---
## 9. Critical Failures (Auto-Fail)
- [ ] ❌ **Non-definitive technical decisions** (any "option A or B" or vague choices)
- [ ] ❌ **Missing versions** (framework/library without specific version)
- [ ] ❌ **Context not gathered** (didn't check for document-project, setup files, etc.)
- [ ] ❌ **Stack mismatch** (decisions don't align with detected project stack)
- [ ] ❌ **Stories don't match template** (missing Dev Agent Record sections)
- [ ] ❌ **Missing tech-spec sections** (required section missing from enhanced template)
- [ ] ❌ **Stories have forward dependencies** (would break sequential implementation)
- [ ] ❌ **Vague source tree** (file changes not specific with actions)
- [ ] ❌ **No brownfield analysis** (when document-project output exists but wasn't used)

<critical>This is quick-flow efforts - tech-spec with context-rich story generation</critical>
<critical>Quick Flow: tech-spec + epic with 1-5 stories (always generates epic structure)</critical>
<critical>LIVING DOCUMENT: Write to tech-spec.md continuously as you discover - never wait until the end</critical>

<step n="1" goal="Comprehensive context discovery - gather everything available">
<action>Welcome {user_name} warmly and explain what we're about to do:
"I'm going to gather all available context about your project before we dive into the technical spec. The following content has been auto-loaded:
- Product briefs and research: {product_brief_content}, {research_content}
- Brownfield codebase documentation: {document_project_content} (loaded via INDEX_GUIDED strategy)
- Your project's tech stack and dependencies
- Existing code patterns and structure
This ensures the tech-spec is grounded in reality and gives developers everything they need."
</action>
<action>**PHASE 1: Load Existing Documents**
Search for and load (using dual-strategy: whole first, then sharded):
1. **Product Brief:**
- Search pattern: {output*folder}/\_brief*.md
- Sharded: {output*folder}/\_brief*/index.md
- If found: Load completely and extract key context
2. **Research Documents:**
- Search pattern: {output*folder}/\_research*.md
- Sharded: {output*folder}/\_research*/index.md
- If found: Load completely and extract insights
3. **Document-Project Output (CRITICAL for brownfield):**
- Always check: {output_folder}/index.md
- If found: This is the brownfield codebase map - load ALL shards!
- Extract: File structure, key modules, existing patterns, naming conventions
Create a summary of what was found and ask user if there are other documents or information to consider before proceeding:
- List of loaded documents
- Key insights from each
- Brownfield vs greenfield determination
</action>
<action>**PHASE 2: Intelligently Detect Project Stack**
Use your comprehensive knowledge as a coding-capable LLM to analyze the project:
**Discover Setup Files:**
- Search {project-root} for dependency manifests (package.json, requirements.txt, Gemfile, go.mod, Cargo.toml, composer.json, pom.xml, build.gradle, pyproject.toml, etc.)
- Adapt to ANY project type - you know the ecosystem conventions
**Extract Critical Information:**
1. Framework name and EXACT version (e.g., "React 18.2.0", "Django 4.2.1")
2. All production dependencies with specific versions
3. Dev tools and testing frameworks (Jest, pytest, ESLint, etc.)
4. Available build/test scripts
5. Project type (web app, API, CLI, library, etc.)
**Assess Currency:**
- Identify if major dependencies are outdated (>2 years old)
- Use WebSearch to find current recommended versions if needed
- Note migration complexity in your summary
**For Greenfield Projects:**
<check if="field_type == greenfield">
<action>Use WebSearch to discover current best practices and official starter templates</action>
<action>Recommend appropriate starters based on detected framework (or user's intended stack)</action>
<action>Present benefits conversationally: setup time saved, modern patterns, testing included</action>
<ask>Would you like to use a starter template? (yes/no/show-me-options)</ask>
<action>Capture preference and include in implementation stack if accepted</action>
</check>
**Trust Your Intelligence:**
You understand project ecosystems deeply. Adapt your analysis to any stack - don't be constrained by examples. Extract what matters for developers.
Store comprehensive findings as {{project_stack_summary}}
</action>
<action>**PHASE 3: Brownfield Codebase Reconnaissance** (if applicable)
<check if="field_type == brownfield OR document-project output found">
Analyze the existing project structure:
1. **Directory Structure:**
- Identify main code directories (src/, lib/, app/, components/, services/)
- Note organization patterns (feature-based, layer-based, domain-driven)
- Identify test directories and patterns
2. **Code Patterns:**
- Look for dominant patterns (class-based, functional, MVC, microservices)
- Identify naming conventions (camelCase, snake_case, PascalCase)
- Note file organization patterns
3. **Key Modules/Services:**
- Identify major modules or services already in place
- Note entry points (main.js, app.py, index.ts)
- Document important utilities or shared code
4. **Testing Patterns & Standards (CRITICAL):**
- Identify test framework in use (from package.json/requirements.txt)
- Note test file naming patterns (.test.js, test.py, .spec.ts, Test.java)
- Document test organization (tests/, **tests**, spec/, test/)
- Look for test configuration files (jest.config.js, pytest.ini, .rspec)
- Check for coverage requirements (in CI config, test scripts)
- Identify mocking/stubbing libraries (jest.mock, unittest.mock, sinon)
- Note assertion styles (expect, assert, should)
5. **Code Style & Conventions (MUST CONFORM):**
- Check for linter config (.eslintrc, .pylintrc, rubocop.yml)
- Check for formatter config (.prettierrc, .black, .editorconfig)
- Identify code style:
- Semicolons: yes/no (JavaScript/TypeScript)
- Quotes: single/double
- Indentation: spaces/tabs, size
- Line length limits
- Import/export patterns (named vs default, organization)
- Error handling patterns (try/catch, Result types, error classes)
- Logging patterns (console, winston, logging module, specific formats)
- Documentation style (JSDoc, docstrings, YARD, JavaDoc)
Store this as {{existing_structure_summary}}
**CRITICAL: Confirm Conventions with User**
<ask>I've detected these conventions in your codebase:
**Code Style:**
{{detected_code_style}}
**Test Patterns:**
{{detected_test_patterns}}
**File Organization:**
{{detected_file_organization}}

Enter **yes** to conform to existing patterns, or **no** if you want to establish new standards:</ask>
<action>Capture user response as conform_to_conventions (yes/no)</action>
<check if="conform_to_conventions == no">
<ask>What conventions would you like to use instead? (Or should I suggest modern best practices?)</ask>

- For multi-story features: Explore user value, integration strategy, and scope boundaries
**Core Discovery Goals (accomplish through natural dialogue):**
1. **The Problem/Need**
- What user or technical problem are we solving?
- Why does this matter now?
- What's the impact if we don't do this?
2. **The Solution Approach**
- What's the proposed solution?
- How should this work from a user/system perspective?
- What alternatives were considered?
3. **Integration & Location**
- <check if="brownfield">Where does this fit in the existing codebase?</check>
- What existing code/patterns should we reference or follow?
- What are the integration points?
4. **Scope Clarity**
- What's IN scope for this work?
- What's explicitly OUT of scope (future work, not needed)?
- If multiple stories: What's MVP vs enhancement?
5. **Constraints & Dependencies**
- Technical limitations or requirements?
- Dependencies on other systems, APIs, or services?
- Performance, security, or compliance considerations?
6. **Success Criteria**
- How will we know this is done correctly?
- What does "working" look like?
- What edge cases matter?
**Conversation Style:**
- Be warm and collaborative, not interrogative
- Ask follow-up questions based on their responses
- Help them think through implications
- Reference context from Phase 1 (existing code, stack, patterns)
- Adapt depth to {{story_count}} complexity
Synthesize discoveries into clear, comprehensive specifications.

Now make DEFINITIVE technical decisions using all the context gathered.
**Source Tree Changes - BE SPECIFIC:**
Bad (NEVER do this):
- "Update some files in the services folder"
- "Add tests somewhere"
Good (ALWAYS do this):
- "src/services/UserService.ts - MODIFY - Add validateEmail() method at line 45"
- "src/routes/api/users.ts - MODIFY - Add POST /users/validate endpoint"
- "tests/services/UserService.test.ts - CREATE - Test suite for email validation"
Include:
- Exact file paths
- Action: CREATE, MODIFY, DELETE
- Specific what changes (methods, classes, endpoints, components)
**Use brownfield context:**
- If modifying existing files, reference current structure
- Follow existing naming patterns
- Place new code logically based on current organization
</action>
<template-output file="tech-spec.md">source_tree_changes</template-output>
<action>**Technical Approach - BE DEFINITIVE:**
Bad (ambiguous):
- "Use a logging library like winston or pino"
- "Use Python 2 or 3"
- "Set up some kind of validation"
Good (definitive):
- "Use winston v3.8.2 (already in package.json) for logging"
- "Implement using Python 3.11 as specified in pyproject.toml"
- "Use Joi v17.9.0 for request validation following pattern in UserController.ts"
**Use detected stack:**
- Reference exact versions from package.json/requirements.txt
- Specify frameworks already in use
- Make decisions based on what's already there
**For greenfield:**
- Make definitive choices and justify them
- Specify exact versions
- No "or" statements allowed

**What Makes This Tech-Spec Special:**
The tech-spec is comprehensive enough to serve as the primary context document:
- ✨ Brownfield codebase analysis (if applicable)
- ✨ Exact framework and library versions from your project
- ✨ Existing patterns and code references
- ✨ Specific file paths and integration points
- ✨ Complete developer resources
**Next Steps:**
**🎯 Recommended Path - Direct to Development:**
Since the tech-spec is CONTEXT-RICH, you can often skip story-context generation!
{{#if story_count == 1}}
**For Your Single Story:**
1. Ask DEV agent to run `dev-story`
- Select story-{epic-slug}-1.md
- Tech-spec provides all the context needed!
💡 **Optional:** Only run `story-context` (SM agent) if this is unusually complex
{{else}}
**For Your {{story_count}} Stories - Iterative Approach:**
1. **Start with Story 1:**
- Ask DEV agent to run `dev-story`
- Select story-{epic-slug}-1.md
- Tech-spec provides context
2. **After Story 1 Complete:**
- Repeat for story-{epic-slug}-2.md
- Continue through story {{story_count}}
💡 **Alternative:** Use `sprint-planning` (SM agent) to organize all stories as a coordinated sprint
💡 **Optional:** Run `story-context` (SM agent) for complex stories needing additional context
{{/if}}
**Your Tech-Spec:**
- 📄 Saved to: `{output_folder}/tech-spec.md`
- Epic & Stories: `{output_folder}/epics.md` + `{sprint_artifacts}/`
- Contains: All context, decisions, patterns, and implementation guidance
- Ready for: Direct development!
The tech-spec is your single source of truth! 🚀

Load required documents (fuzzy match, handle both whole and sharded):
Extract ALL functional requirements:
- PRD.md (required)
- domain-brief.md (if exists)
- product-brief.md (if exists)
**CRITICAL - PRD FRs Are Now Flat and Strategic:**
The PRD contains FLAT, capability-level functional requirements (FR1, FR2, FR3...).
These are STRATEGIC (WHAT capabilities exist), NOT tactical (HOW they're implemented).
Example PRD FRs:
- FR1: Users can create accounts with email or social authentication
- FR2: Users can log in securely and maintain sessions
- FR6: Users can create, edit, and delete content items
**Your job in THIS workflow:**
1. Map each FR to one or more epics
2. Break each FR into stories with DETAILED acceptance criteria
3. Add ALL the implementation details that were intentionally left out of PRD
Extract from PRD:
- ALL functional requirements (flat numbered list)
- Non-functional requirements
- Domain considerations and compliance needs
- Project type and complexity
- MVP vs growth vs vision scope boundaries
- Product differentiator (what makes it special)
- Technical constraints
- Complete FR inventory (FR1, FR2, FR3...)
- Non-functional requirements and constraints
- Project scope boundaries (MVP vs growth vs vision)
- User types and their goals
- Success criteria
- Technical constraints
- Compliance requirements
**Create FR Inventory:**
List all FRs to ensure coverage:
- FR1: [description]
- FR2: [description]
- ...
- FRN: [description]
This inventory will be used to validate complete coverage in Step 4.
**FR Inventory Creation:**
List every functional requirement with description for coverage tracking.

- Technology stack decisions and framework choices
- API design, contracts, and integration patterns
- Data models, schemas, and relationships
- Authentication, authorization, and security patterns
- Performance requirements and scaling approaches
- Error handling, logging, and monitoring strategies
- Deployment architecture and infrastructure considerations
- Any other technical decisions, patterns, or constraints that impact implementation

<action>**STRATEGIC EPIC PLANNING WITH COMPLETE CONTEXT:**</action>
<check if="mode == 'UPDATE'">
<action>**MAINTAIN existing epic structure:**
<action>Now that you have ALL available context (PRD + Architecture + UX), design epics that deliver incremental user value while leveraging the technical design decisions.
Use the epic structure already defined in epics.md:
**EPIC DESIGN PRINCIPLES:**
- Keep all existing epic titles and goals
- Preserve epic sequencing
- Maintain FR coverage mapping
1. **User-Value First**: Each epic must enable users to accomplish something meaningful
2. **Leverage Architecture**: Build upon the technical decisions already made
3. **Incremental Delivery**: Each epic should be independently valuable
4. **Logical Dependencies**: Dependencies should flow naturally, not artificially
Note: We're enhancing stories within existing epics, not restructuring.
</action>
**USE YOUR FULL CONTEXT:**
<output>**Using existing epic structure:**
{{list_existing_epics_with_titles}}
From PRD: Group related functional requirements that deliver user outcomes
From Architecture: Respect technical boundaries and integration points
From UX: Design around user journeys and interaction flows
Will enhance stories within these epics using new context.
</output>
**VALID EPIC EXAMPLES:**
<template-output>epics_summary</template-output>
<template-output>fr_coverage_map</template-output>
✅ **CORRECT - User Value with Technical Context:**
<goto step="3">Skip to story enhancement</goto>
</check>
<check if="mode == 'CREATE'">
<action>Analyze requirements and identify natural epic boundaries
INTENT: Find organic groupings that make sense for THIS product
Look for natural patterns:
- Features that work together cohesively
- User journeys that connect
- Business capabilities that cluster
- Domain requirements that relate (compliance, validation, security)
- Technical systems that should be built together
Name epics based on VALUE, not technical layers:
- Good: "User Onboarding", "Content Discovery", "Compliance Framework"
- Avoid: "Database Layer", "API Endpoints", "Frontend"
**⚠️ ANTI-PATTERN EXAMPLES (DO NOT DO THIS):**
- Epic 1: Foundation Setup (infrastructure, deployment, core services)
- Epic 2: User Authentication & Profile Management (register, login, profile management)
- Epic 3: Content Creation & Management (create, edit, publish, organize content)
- Epic 4: Content Discovery & Interaction (browse, search, share, comment)
❌ **WRONG - Technical Layer Breakdown:**
- Epic 1: Database Schema & Models
- Epic 2: API Layer / Backend Services
- Epic 3: Frontend UI Components
- Epic 4: Integration & Testing
- Epic 2: REST API Endpoints
- Epic 3: Frontend Components
- Epic 4: Authentication Service
WHY IT'S WRONG: User gets ZERO value until ALL epics complete. No incremental delivery.
**PRESENT YOUR EPIC STRUCTURE:**
✅ **CORRECT - User Value Breakdown:**
For each proposed epic, provide:
- Epic 1: Foundation (project setup - necessary exception)
- Epic 2: User Authentication (user can register/login - VALUE DELIVERED)
- Epic 3: Content Management (user can create/edit content - VALUE DELIVERED)
- Epic 4: Social Features (user can share/interact - VALUE DELIVERED)
- **Epic Title**: Value-based, not technical
- **User Value Statement**: What users can accomplish after this epic
- **PRD Coverage**: Which FRs this epic addresses
- **Technical Context**: How this leverages Architecture decisions
- **UX Integration**: How this incorporates user experience patterns (if available)
- **Dependencies**: What must come before (natural dependencies only)
WHY IT'S RIGHT: Each epic delivers something users can USE. Incremental value.
**FOUNDATION EPIC GUIDELINES:**
**Valid Exceptions:**
For Epic 1, include technical foundation based on Architecture:
1. **Foundation Epic**: First epic CAN be setup/infrastructure (greenfield projects need this)
2. **API-First Epic**: ONLY valid if the API has standalone value (third-party consumers, multiple frontends, API-as-product). If it's just "backend for our frontend", that's the WRONG pattern.
- Project setup and build system
- Core infrastructure and deployment pipeline
- Database schema setup
- Basic authentication foundation
- API framework setup
Each epic should:
- Have clear business goal and user value
- Be independently valuable
- Contain 3-8 related capabilities
- Be deliverable in cohesive phase
For greenfield projects:
- First epic MUST establish foundation (project setup, core infrastructure, deployment pipeline)
- Foundation enables all subsequent work
For complex domains:
- Consider dedicated compliance/regulatory epics
- Group validation and safety requirements logically
- Note expertise requirements
Present proposed epic structure showing:
- Epic titles with clear value statements
- High-level scope of each epic
- **FR COVERAGE MAP: Which FRs does each epic address?**
- Example: "Epic 1 (Foundation): Covers infrastructure needs for all FRs"
- Example: "Epic 2 (User Management): FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR5"
- Example: "Epic 3 (Content System): FR6, FR7, FR8, FR9"
- Suggested sequencing
- Why this grouping makes sense
**Validate FR Coverage:**
Check that EVERY FR from Step 1 inventory is mapped to at least one epic.
If any FRs are unmapped, add them now or explain why they're deferred.
This enables all subsequent user-facing epics.

- Error states and feedback patterns
- Accessibility requirements (WCAG compliance)
- **WHAT to build** (from PRD FRs)
- **HOW to build it** (from Architecture decisions)
- **HOW users interact** (from UX patterns, if available)
Example enhancement:
BEFORE: "User can log in"
AFTER: "User can log in via modal (UX pg 12-15) with email/password fields,
password visibility toggle, remember me checkbox,
loading state during auth (spinner overlay),
error messages below fields (red, 14px),

**Add from Architecture:**
- Specific API endpoints and contracts
- Data model references
- Tech stack implementation details

- **User Story**: As a [user type], I want [specific capability], So that [value/benefit]
- **Acceptance Criteria**: BDD format with COMPLETE implementation details
- **Technical Implementation**: Specific guidance from Architecture
- **User Experience**: Exact interaction patterns from UX (if available)
- **Prerequisites**: Only previous stories, never forward dependencies
INTENT: Create stories sized for single dev agent completion
**DETAILED ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA GUIDELINES:**
**CRITICAL - ALTITUDE SHIFT FROM PRD:**
Include ALL implementation specifics:
PRD FRs are STRATEGIC (WHAT capabilities):
**From Architecture:**
- ✅ "Users can create accounts"
- Exact API endpoints and contracts
- Database operations and validations
- Authentication/authorization requirements
- Error handling patterns
- Performance requirements
- Security considerations
- Integration points with other systems
Epic Stories are TACTICAL (HOW it's implemented):
**From UX (if available):**
- Email field with RFC 5322 validation
- Password requirements: 8+ chars, 1 uppercase, 1 number, 1 special
- Password strength meter with visual feedback
- Email verification within 15 minutes
- reCAPTCHA v3 integration
- Account creation completes in < 2 seconds
- Mobile responsive with 44x44px touch targets
- WCAG 2.1 AA compliant
- Specific screen/page references
- Interaction patterns and behaviors
- Form validation rules and error messages
- Responsive behavior
- Accessibility requirements
- Loading states and transitions
- Success/error feedback patterns
**THIS IS WHERE YOU ADD ALL THE DETAILS LEFT OUT OF PRD:**
**From PRD:**
- UI specifics (exact field counts, validation rules, layout details)
- Performance targets (< 2s, 60fps, etc.)
- Technical implementation hints (libraries, patterns, APIs)
- Edge cases (what happens when...)
- Validation rules (regex patterns, constraints)
- Error handling (specific error messages, retry logic)
- Accessibility requirements (ARIA labels, keyboard nav, screen readers)
- Platform specifics (mobile responsive, browser support)
- Business rules and constraints
- User types and permissions
- Compliance requirements
- Success criteria
For each epic, generate:
**STORY SIZING PRINCIPLE:**
- Epic title as `epic_title_{{N}}`
- Epic goal/value as `epic_goal_{{N}}`
- All stories as repeated pattern `story_title_{{N}}_{{M}}` for each story M
Each story must be completable by a single dev agent in one focused session. If a story becomes too large, break it down further while maintaining user value.
CRITICAL for Epic 1 (Foundation):
**EXAMPLE RICH STORY:**
- Story 1.1 MUST be project setup/infrastructure initialization
- Sets up: repo structure, build system, deployment pipeline basics, core dependencies
- Creates foundation for all subsequent stories
- Note: Architecture workflow will flesh out technical details
**Story:** User Registration with Email Verification
Each story should follow BDD-style acceptance criteria:
As a new user, I want to create an account using my email address, So that I can access the platform's features.
**Story Pattern:**
As a [user type],
I want [specific capability],
So that [clear value/benefit].
**Acceptance Criteria:**
Given I am on the landing page
When I click the "Sign Up" button
Then the registration modal opens (UX Mockup 3.2)
**Acceptance Criteria using BDD:**
Given [precondition or initial state]
When [action or trigger]
Then [expected outcome]
And I see email and password fields with proper labels
And the email field validates RFC 5322 format in real-time
And the password field shows strength meter (red→yellow→green)
And I see "Password must be 8+ chars with 1 uppercase, 1 number, 1 special"
And [additional criteria as needed]
When I submit valid registration data
Then POST /api/v1/auth/register is called (Architecture section 4.1)
And the user record is created in users table with bcrypt hash (Architecture 6.2)
And a verification email is sent via SendGrid (Architecture 7.3)
And I see "Check your email for verification link" message
And I cannot log in until email is verified
**Prerequisites:** Only previous stories (never forward dependencies)
**Technical Notes:**
**Technical Notes:** Implementation guidance, affected components, compliance requirements
- Use PostgreSQL users table (Architecture section 6.2)
- Implement rate limiting: 3 attempts per hour per IP (Architecture 8.1)
- Return JWT token on successful verification (Architecture 5.2)
- Log registration events to audit_events table (Architecture 9.4)
- Form validation follows UX Design patterns (UX section 4.1)
Ensure stories are:
- Vertically sliced (deliver complete functionality, not just one layer)
- Sequentially ordered (logical progression, no forward dependencies)
- Independently valuable when possible
- Small enough for single-session completion
- Clear enough for autonomous implementation

**Validate Epic Structure (USER VALUE CHECK):**
For each epic, answer: "What can USERS do after this epic is complete that they couldn't do before?"
- Epic 1: [Must have clear user value OR be Foundation exception]
- Epic 2: [Must deliver user-facing capability]
- Epic N: [Must deliver user-facing capability]
⚠️ RED FLAG: If an epic only delivers technical infrastructure (database layer, API without users, component library without features), RESTRUCTURE IT. Each epic should enable users to accomplish something.
Exception validation:
- Foundation epic: Acceptable as first epic for greenfield projects
- API-first epic: Acceptable ONLY if API has standalone consumers (third-party integrations, multiple frontends, API-as-product)
If any epic fails this check, restructure before proceeding.
**Validate FR Coverage:**
Create FR Coverage Matrix showing each FR mapped to epic(s) and story(ies):
- FR1: [description] → Epic X, Story X.Y
- FR2: [description] → Epic X, Story X.Z
- FR3: [description] → Epic Y, Story Y.A

- ...
- FRN: [description] → Epic Z, Story Z.B
Confirm: EVERY FR from Step 1 inventory is covered by at least one story.
If any FRs are missing, add stories now.
**CRITICAL VALIDATION:** Every single FR from the PRD must be covered by at least one story with complete acceptance criteria.

# Engineering Backlog
This backlog collects cross-cutting or future action items that emerge from reviews and planning.
Routing guidance:
- Use this file for non-urgent optimizations, refactors, or follow-ups that span multiple stories/epics.
- Must-fix items to ship a story belong in that storys `Tasks / Subtasks`.
- Same-epic improvements may also be captured under the epic Tech Spec `Post-Review Follow-ups` section.

# Senior Developer Review - Workflow Instructions
````xml
<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>
<critical>You MUST have already loaded and processed: {installed_path}/workflow.yaml</critical>
<critical>Communicate all responses in {communication_language} and language MUST be tailored to {user_skill_level}</critical>
<critical>Generate all documents in {document_output_language}</critical>
<critical>This workflow performs a SYSTEMATIC Senior Developer Review on a story with status "review", validates EVERY acceptance criterion and EVERY completed task, appends structured review notes with evidence, and updates the story status based on outcome.</critical>
<critical>If story_path is provided, use it. Otherwise, find the first story in sprint-status.yaml with status "review". If none found, offer ad-hoc review option.</critical>
<critical>Ad-hoc review mode: User can specify any files to review and what to review for (quality, security, requirements, etc.). Creates standalone review report.</critical>
<critical>SYSTEMATIC VALIDATION REQUIREMENT: For EVERY acceptance criterion, verify implementation with evidence (file:line). For EVERY task marked complete, verify it was actually done. Tasks marked complete but not done = HIGH SEVERITY finding.</critical>
<critical>⚠️ ZERO TOLERANCE FOR LAZY VALIDATION ⚠️</critical>
<critical>If you FAIL to catch even ONE task marked complete that was NOT actually implemented, or ONE acceptance criterion marked done that is NOT in the code with evidence, you have FAILED YOUR ONLY PURPOSE. This is an IMMEDIATE DISQUALIFICATION. No shortcuts. No assumptions. No "looks good enough." You WILL read every file. You WILL verify every claim. You WILL provide evidence (file:line) for EVERY validation. Failure to catch false completions = you failed humanity and the project. Your job is to be the uncompromising gatekeeper. DO YOUR JOB COMPLETELY OR YOU WILL BE REPLACED.</critical>
<critical>Only modify the story file in these areas: Status, Dev Agent Record (Completion Notes), File List (if corrections needed), Change Log, and the appended "Senior Developer Review (AI)" section.</critical>
<critical>Execute ALL steps in exact order; do NOT skip steps</critical>
<critical>DOCUMENT OUTPUT: Technical review reports. Structured findings with severity levels and action items. User skill level ({user_skill_level}) affects conversation style ONLY, not review content.</critical>

# Create Story Quality Validation Checklist
# 🎯 Story Context Quality Competition Prompt
```xml
<critical>This validation runs in a FRESH CONTEXT by an independent validator agent</critical>
<critical>The validator audits story quality and offers to improve if issues are found</critical>
<critical>Load only the story file and necessary source documents - do NOT load workflow instructions</critical>
## **🔥 CRITICAL MISSION: Outperform and Fix the Original Create-Story LLM**
<validation-checklist>
You are an independent quality validator in a **FRESH CONTEXT**. Your mission is to **thoroughly review** a story file that was generated by the create-story workflow and **systematically identify any mistakes, omissions, or disasters** that the original LLM missed.
<expectations>
**What create-story workflow should have accomplished:**
**Your purpose is NOT just to validate - it's to FIX and PREVENT LLM developer mistakes, omissions, or disasters!**
1. **Previous Story Continuity:** If a previous story exists (status: done/review/in-progress), current story should have "Learnings from Previous Story" subsection in Dev Notes that references: new files created, completion notes, architectural decisions, unresolved review items
2. **Source Document Coverage:** Story should cite tech spec (if exists), epics, PRD, and relevant architecture docs (architecture.md, testing-strategy.md, coding-standards.md, unified-project-structure.md)
3. **Requirements Traceability:** ACs sourced from tech spec (preferred) or epics, not invented
4. **Dev Notes Quality:** Specific guidance with citations, not generic advice
5. **Task-AC Mapping:** Every AC has tasks, every task references AC, testing subtasks present
6. **Structure:** Status="drafted", proper story statement, Dev Agent Record sections initialized
</expectations>
### **🚨 CRITICAL MISTAKES TO PREVENT:**
## Validation Steps
- **Reinventing wheels** - Creating duplicate functionality instead of reusing existing
- **Wrong libraries** - Using incorrect frameworks, versions, or dependencies
- **Wrong file locations** - Violating project structure and organization
- **Breaking regressions** - Implementing changes that break existing functionality
- **Ignoring UX** - Not following user experience design requirements
- **Vague implementations** - Creating unclear, ambiguous implementations
- **Lying about completion** - Implementing incorrectly or incompletely
- **Not learning from past work** - Ignoring previous story learnings and patterns
### 1. Load Story and Extract Metadata
- [ ] Load story file: {{story_file_path}}
- [ ] Parse sections: Status, Story, ACs, Tasks, Dev Notes, Dev Agent Record, Change Log
- [ ] Extract: epic_num, story_num, story_key, story_title
- [ ] Initialize issue tracker (Critical/Major/Minor)
### **🚨 EXHAUSTIVE ANALYSIS REQUIRED:**
### 2. Previous Story Continuity Check
You must thoroughly analyze **ALL artifacts** to extract critical context - do NOT be lazy or skim! This is the most important quality control function in the entire development process!
**Find previous story:**
- [ ] Load {output_folder}/sprint-status.yaml
- [ ] Find current {{story_key}} in development_status
- [ ] Identify story entry immediately above (previous story)
- [ ] Check previous story status
### **🔬 UTILIZE SUBPROCESSES AND SUBAGENTS:**
**If previous story status is done/review/in-progress:**
- [ ] Load previous story file: {story_dir}/{{previous_story_key}}.md
- [ ] Extract: Dev Agent Record (Completion Notes, File List with NEW/MODIFIED)
- [ ] Extract: Senior Developer Review section if present
- [ ] Count unchecked [ ] items in Review Action Items
- [ ] Count unchecked [ ] items in Review Follow-ups (AI)
Use research subagents, subprocesses, or parallel processing if available to thoroughly analyze different artifacts **simultaneously and thoroughly**. Leave no stone unturned!
**Validate current story captured continuity:**
- [ ] Check: "Learnings from Previous Story" subsection exists in Dev Notes
- If MISSING and previous story has content → **CRITICAL ISSUE**
- [ ] If subsection exists, verify it includes:
- [ ] References to NEW files from previous story → If missing → **MAJOR ISSUE**
- [ ] Mentions completion notes/warnings → If missing → **MAJOR ISSUE**
- [ ] Calls out unresolved review items (if any exist) → If missing → **CRITICAL ISSUE**
- [ ] Cites previous story: [Source: stories/{{previous_story_key}}.md]
### **🎯 COMPETITIVE EXCELLENCE:**
**If previous story status is backlog/drafted:**
- [ ] No continuity expected (note this)
This is a COMPETITION to create the **ULTIMATE story context** that makes LLM developer mistakes **IMPOSSIBLE**!
**If no previous story exists:**
- [ ] First story in epic, no continuity expected
## **🚀 HOW TO USE THIS CHECKLIST**
### 3. Source Document Coverage Check
### **When Running from Create-Story Workflow:**
**Build available docs list:**
- [ ] Check exists: tech-spec-epic-{{epic_num}}*.md in {tech_spec_search_dir}
- [ ] Check exists: {output_folder}/epics.md
- [ ] Check exists: {output_folder}/PRD.md
- [ ] Check exists in {output_folder}/ or {project-root}/docs/:
- architecture.md, testing-strategy.md, coding-standards.md
- unified-project-structure.md, tech-stack.md
- backend-architecture.md, frontend-architecture.md, data-models.md
- The `{project_root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml` framework will automatically:
- Load this checklist file
- Load the newly created story file (`{story_file_path}`)
- Load workflow variables from `{installed_path}/workflow.yaml`
- Execute the validation process
**Validate story references available docs:**
- [ ] Extract all [Source: ...] citations from story Dev Notes
- [ ] Tech spec exists but not cited → **CRITICAL ISSUE**
- [ ] Epics exists but not cited → **CRITICAL ISSUE**
- [ ] Architecture.md exists → Read for relevance → If relevant but not cited → **MAJOR ISSUE**
- [ ] Testing-strategy.md exists → Check Dev Notes mentions testing standards → If not → **MAJOR ISSUE**
- [ ] Testing-strategy.md exists → Check Tasks have testing subtasks → If not → **MAJOR ISSUE**
- [ ] Coding-standards.md exists → Check Dev Notes references standards → If not → **MAJOR ISSUE**
- [ ] Unified-project-structure.md exists → Check Dev Notes has "Project Structure Notes" subsection → If not → **MAJOR ISSUE**
### **When Running in Fresh Context:**
**Validate citation quality:**
- [ ] Verify cited file paths are correct and files exist → Bad citations → **MAJOR ISSUE**
- [ ] Check citations include section names, not just file paths → Vague citations → **MINOR ISSUE**
- User should provide the story file path being reviewed
- Load the story file directly
- Load the corresponding workflow.yaml for variable context
- Proceed with systematic analysis
### 4. Acceptance Criteria Quality Check
### **Required Inputs:**
- [ ] Extract Acceptance Criteria from story
- [ ] Count ACs: {{ac_count}} (if 0 → **CRITICAL ISSUE** and halt)
- [ ] Check story indicates AC source (tech spec, epics, PRD)
- **Story file**: The story file to review and improve
- **Workflow variables**: From workflow.yaml (story_dir, output_folder, epics_file, etc.)
- **Source documents**: Epics, architecture, etc. (discovered or provided)
- **Validation framework**: `validate-workflow.xml` (handles checklist execution)
**If tech spec exists:**
- [ ] Load tech spec
- [ ] Search for this story number
- [ ] Extract tech spec ACs for this story
- [ ] Compare story ACs vs tech spec ACs → If mismatch → **MAJOR ISSUE**
---
**If no tech spec but epics.md exists:**
- [ ] Load epics.md
- [ ] Search for Epic {{epic_num}}, Story {{story_num}}
- [ ] Story not found in epics → **CRITICAL ISSUE** (should have halted)
- [ ] Extract epics ACs
- [ ] Compare story ACs vs epics ACs → If mismatch without justification → **MAJOR ISSUE**
## **🔬 SYSTEMATIC RE-ANALYSIS APPROACH**
**Validate AC quality:**
- [ ] Each AC is testable (measurable outcome)
- [ ] Each AC is specific (not vague)
- [ ] Each AC is atomic (single concern)
- [ ] Vague ACs found → **MINOR ISSUE**
You will systematically re-do the entire story creation process, but with a critical eye for what the original LLM might have missed:
### 5. Task-AC Mapping Check
### **Step 1: Load and Understand the Target**
- [ ] Extract Tasks/Subtasks from story
- [ ] For each AC: Search tasks for "(AC: #{{ac_num}})" reference
- [ ] AC has no tasks → **MAJOR ISSUE**
- [ ] For each task: Check if references an AC number
- [ ] Tasks without AC refs (and not testing/setup) → **MINOR ISSUE**
- [ ] Count tasks with testing subtasks
- [ ] Testing subtasks < ac_count **MAJOR ISSUE**
1. **Load the workflow configuration**: `{installed_path}/workflow.yaml` for variable inclusion
2. **Load the story file**: `{story_file_path}` (provided by user or discovered)
3. **Load validation framework**: `{project_root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml`
4. **Extract metadata**: epic_num, story_num, story_key, story_title from story file
5. **Resolve all workflow variables**: story_dir, output_folder, epics_file, architecture_file, etc.
6. **Understand current status**: What story implementation guidance is currently provided?
### 6. Dev Notes Quality Check
**Note:** If running in fresh context, user should provide the story file path being reviewed. If running from create-story workflow, the validation framework will automatically discover the checklist and story file.
**Check required subsections exist:**
- [ ] Architecture patterns and constraints
- [ ] References (with citations)
- [ ] Project Structure Notes (if unified-project-structure.md exists)
- [ ] Learnings from Previous Story (if previous story has content)
- [ ] Missing required subsections → **MAJOR ISSUE**
### **Step 2: Exhaustive Source Document Analysis**
**Validate content quality:**
- [ ] Architecture guidance is specific (not generic "follow architecture docs") → If generic → **MAJOR ISSUE**
- [ ] Count citations in References subsection
- [ ] No citations → **MAJOR ISSUE**
- [ ] < 3 citations and multiple arch docs exist **MINOR ISSUE**
- [ ] Scan for suspicious specifics without citations:
- API endpoints, schema details, business rules, tech choices
- [ ] Likely invented details found → **MAJOR ISSUE**
**🔥 CRITICAL: Treat this like YOU are creating the story from scratch to PREVENT DISASTERS!**
**Discover everything the original LLM missed that could cause developer mistakes, omissions, or disasters!**
### 7. Story Structure Check
#### **2.1 Epics and Stories Analysis**
- [ ] Status = "drafted" → If not → **MAJOR ISSUE**
- [ ] Story section has "As a / I want / so that" format → If malformed → **MAJOR ISSUE**
- [ ] Dev Agent Record has required sections:
- Context Reference, Agent Model Used, Debug Log References, Completion Notes List, File List
- [ ] Missing sections → **MAJOR ISSUE**
- [ ] Change Log initialized → If missing → **MINOR ISSUE**
- [ ] File in correct location: {story_dir}/{{story_key}}.md → If not → **MAJOR ISSUE**
- Load `{epics_file}` (or sharded equivalents)
- Extract **COMPLETE Epic {{epic_num}} context**:
- Epic objectives and business value
- ALL stories in this epic (for cross-story context)
- Our specific story's requirements, acceptance criteria
- Technical requirements and constraints
- Cross-story dependencies and prerequisites
### 8. Unresolved Review Items Alert
#### **2.2 Architecture Deep-Dive**
**CRITICAL CHECK for incomplete review items from previous story:**
- Load `{architecture_file}` (single or sharded)
- **Systematically scan for ANYTHING relevant to this story:**
- Technical stack with versions (languages, frameworks, libraries)
- Code structure and organization patterns
- API design patterns and contracts
- Database schemas and relationships
- Security requirements and patterns
- Performance requirements and optimization strategies
- Testing standards and frameworks
- Deployment and environment patterns
- Integration patterns and external services
- [ ] If previous story has "Senior Developer Review (AI)" section:
- [ ] Count unchecked [ ] items in "Action Items"
- [ ] Count unchecked [ ] items in "Review Follow-ups (AI)"
- [ ] If unchecked items > 0:
- [ ] Check current story "Learnings from Previous Story" mentions these
- [ ] If NOT mentioned → **CRITICAL ISSUE** with details:
- List all unchecked items with severity
- Note: "These may represent epic-wide concerns"
- Required: Add to Learnings section with note about pending items
#### **2.3 Previous Story Intelligence (if applicable)**
## Validation Report Generation
- If `story_num > 1`, load the previous story file
- Extract **actionable intelligence**:
- Dev notes and learnings
- Review feedback and corrections needed
- Files created/modified and their patterns
- Testing approaches that worked/didn't work
- Problems encountered and solutions found
- Code patterns and conventions established
**Calculate severity counts:**
- Critical: {{critical_count}}
- Major: {{major_count}}
- Minor: {{minor_count}}
#### **2.4 Git History Analysis (if available)**
**Determine outcome:**
- Critical > 0 OR Major > 3 → **FAIL**
- Major ≤ 3 and Critical = 0 → **PASS with issues**
- All = 0 → **PASS**
- Analyze recent commits for patterns:
- Files created/modified in previous work
- Code patterns and conventions used
- Library dependencies added/changed
- Architecture decisions implemented
- Testing approaches used
**Generate report:**
```
#### **2.5 Latest Technical Research**
# Story Quality Validation Report
- Identify any libraries/frameworks mentioned
- Research latest versions and critical information:
- Breaking changes or security updates
- Performance improvements or deprecations
- Best practices for current versions
Story: {{story_key}} - {{story_title}}
Outcome: {{outcome}} (Critical: {{critical_count}}, Major: {{major_count}}, Minor: {{minor_count}})
### **Step 3: Disaster Prevention Gap Analysis**
## Critical Issues (Blockers)
**🚨 CRITICAL: Identify every mistake the original LLM missed that could cause DISASTERS!**
{{list_each_with_description_and_evidence}}
#### **3.1 Reinvention Prevention Gaps**
## Major Issues (Should Fix)
- **Wheel reinvention:** Areas where developer might create duplicate functionality
- **Code reuse opportunities** not identified that could prevent redundant work
- **Existing solutions** not mentioned that developer should extend instead of replace
{{list_each_with_description_and_evidence}}
#### **3.2 Technical Specification DISASTERS**
## Minor Issues (Nice to Have)
- **Wrong libraries/frameworks:** Missing version requirements that could cause compatibility issues
- **API contract violations:** Missing endpoint specifications that could break integrations
- **Database schema conflicts:** Missing requirements that could corrupt data
- **Security vulnerabilities:** Missing security requirements that could expose the system
- **Performance disasters:** Missing requirements that could cause system failures
{{list_each_with_description}}
#### **3.3 File Structure DISASTERS**
## Successes
- **Wrong file locations:** Missing organization requirements that could break build processes
- **Coding standard violations:** Missing conventions that could create inconsistent codebase
- **Integration pattern breaks:** Missing data flow requirements that could cause system failures
- **Deployment failures:** Missing environment requirements that could prevent deployment
{{list_what_was_done_well}}
#### **3.4 Regression DISASTERS**
- **Breaking changes:** Missing requirements that could break existing functionality
- **Test failures:** Missing test requirements that could allow bugs to reach production
- **UX violations:** Missing user experience requirements that could ruin the product
- **Learning failures:** Missing previous story context that could repeat same mistakes
#### **3.5 Implementation DISASTERS**
- **Vague implementations:** Missing details that could lead to incorrect or incomplete work
- **Completion lies:** Missing acceptance criteria that could allow fake implementations
- **Scope creep:** Missing boundaries that could cause unnecessary work
- **Quality failures:** Missing quality requirements that could deliver broken features
### **Step 4: LLM-Dev-Agent Optimization Analysis**
**CRITICAL STEP: Optimize story context for LLM developer agent consumption**
**Analyze current story for LLM optimization issues:**
- **Verbosity problems:** Excessive detail that wastes tokens without adding value
- **Ambiguity issues:** Vague instructions that could lead to multiple interpretations
- **Context overload:** Too much information not directly relevant to implementation
- **Missing critical signals:** Key requirements buried in verbose text
- **Poor structure:** Information not organized for efficient LLM processing
**Apply LLM Optimization Principles:**
- **Clarity over verbosity:** Be precise and direct, eliminate fluff
- **Actionable instructions:** Every sentence should guide implementation
- **Scannable structure:** Use clear headings, bullet points, and emphasis
- **Token efficiency:** Pack maximum information into minimum text
- **Unambiguous language:** Clear requirements with no room for interpretation
### **Step 5: Improvement Recommendations**
**For each gap identified, provide specific, actionable improvements:**
#### **5.1 Critical Misses (Must Fix)**
- Missing essential technical requirements
- Missing previous story context that could cause errors
- Missing anti-pattern prevention that could lead to duplicate code
- Missing security or performance requirements
#### **5.2 Enhancement Opportunities (Should Add)**
- Additional architectural guidance that would help developer
- More detailed technical specifications
- Better code reuse opportunities
- Enhanced testing guidance
#### **5.3 Optimization Suggestions (Nice to Have)**

```
## Quick Reference
### **Step 6: Interactive User Selection**
**Validation runs in fresh context and checks:**
After presenting the suggestions, ask the user:
1. ✅ Previous story continuity captured (files, notes, **unresolved review items**)
2. ✅ All relevant source docs discovered and cited
3. ✅ ACs match tech spec/epics exactly
4. ✅ Tasks cover all ACs with testing
5. ✅ Dev Notes have specific guidance with citations (not generic)
6. ✅ Structure and metadata complete
```
**IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS:**
**Severity Levels:**
Which improvements would you like me to apply to the story?
- **CRITICAL** = Missing previous story reference, missing tech spec cite, unresolved review items not called out, story not in epics
- **MAJOR** = Missing arch docs, missing files from previous story, vague Dev Notes, ACs don't match source, no testing subtasks
- **MINOR** = Vague citations, orphan tasks, missing Change Log
**Select from the numbered list above, or choose:**
- **all** - Apply all suggested improvements
- **critical** - Apply only critical issues
- **select** - I'll choose specific numbers
- **none** - Keep story as-is
- **details** - Show me more details about any suggestion
**Outcome Triggers:**
Your choice:
```
- **FAIL** = Any critical OR >3 major issues
- **PASS with issues** = ≤3 major issues, no critical
- **PASS** = All checks passed
### **Step 7: Apply Selected Improvements**
When user accepts improvements:
- **Load the story file**
- **Apply accepted changes** (make them look natural, as if they were always there)
- **DO NOT reference** the review process, original LLM, or that changes were "added" or "enhanced"
- **Ensure clean, coherent final story** that reads as if it was created perfectly the first time
### **Step 8: Confirmation**
After applying changes:
```
✅ **STORY IMPROVEMENTS APPLIED**
Updated {{count}} sections in the story file.
The story now includes comprehensive developer guidance to prevent common implementation issues and ensure flawless execution.
**Next Steps:**
1. Review the updated story
2. Run `dev-story` for implementation
```
---
## **💪 COMPETITIVE EXCELLENCE MINDSET**
**Your goal:** Improve the story file with dev agent needed context that makes flawless implementation inevitable while being optimized for LLM developer agent consumption. Remember the dev agent will ONLY have this file to use.
**Success Criteria:** The LLM developer agent that processes your improved story will have:
- ✅ Clear technical requirements they must follow
- ✅ Previous work context they can build upon
- ✅ Anti-pattern prevention to avoid common mistakes
- ✅ Comprehensive guidance for efficient implementation
- ✅ **Optimized content structure** for maximum clarity and minimum token waste
- ✅ **Actionable instructions** with no ambiguity or verbosity
- ✅ **Efficient information density** - maximum guidance in minimum text
**Every improvement should make it IMPOSSIBLE for the developer to:**
- Reinvent existing solutions
- Use wrong approaches or libraries
- Create duplicate functionality
- Miss critical requirements
- Make implementation errors
**LLM Optimization Should Make it IMPOSSIBLE for the developer agent to:**
- Misinterpret requirements due to ambiguity
- Waste tokens on verbose, non-actionable content
- Struggle to find critical information buried in text
- Get confused by poor structure or organization
- Miss key implementation signals due to inefficient communication
**Go create the ultimate developer implementation guide! 🚀**

- **Architectural Change**: Switched from session-based to JWT authentication
- **Schema Changes**: User model now includes `passwordHash` field, migration applied
- **Technical Debt**: Email verification skipped, should be included in this or subsequent story
- **Testing Setup**: Auth test suite initialized at `tests/integration/auth.test.js` - follow patterns established there

2. **Optional Quality Competition:** Run the scrum masters `*validate-create-story` to have a fresh LLM systematically review and
improve the story context
3. Run dev agents `dev-story` for optimized implementation
4. Run `code-review` when complete (auto-marks done)
**Quality Competition Option:** The `*validate-create-story` command runs the story context through an independent LLM in fresh
context that will:
- Systematically re-analyze all source documents
- Identify any misses, omissions, or improvements
- Compete to create a more comprehensive story context
- Present findings interactively for your approval
- Apply improvements to create the ultimate developer implementation guide
**The developer now has everything needed for flawless implementation!**

2. **Alternative:** Skip context generation and go directly to `dev-story` workflow
- Faster, but DEV agent will have less context

**To proceed:**
- For context generation: Stay with SM agent and run `story-context` workflow
- For direct implementation: Load DEV agent and run `dev-story` workflow
