-## How It Works: The BMAD Method Explained - -The BMAD Method uses a powerful **Orchestrator** system that coordinates specialized AI personas to handle different aspects of your project: - -### Core Mechanics: - -1. **Orchestrator**: The central "brain" that manages all personas and tasks -2. **Personas**: Specialized AI experts (PM, Architect, UX/UI Designer, etc.) -3. **Tasks**: Specific workflows each persona can execute -4. **Templates**: Standardized documents personas use to create deliverables - -### Workflow: - -``` -User Request Orchestrator Appropriate Persona Task Execution Deliverable +# Monitor workspace health +npm run workspace-health ``` -### Environments: +**Supported IDEs:** Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Trae, Roo, Cline, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, JetBrains -- **Web-based**: Run in ChatGPT or Gemini with attached knowledge files -- **IDE-based**: Run directly in your code editor with full project context +### Automatic Escalation System -### Key Commands: +When agents encounter ambiguity that could lead to technical debt, the workspace system automatically: -- `/persona [name]` - Activate a specific persona (Web) -- `/task [name]` - Execute a specific task (Web) -- `*persona [name]` - Activate a specific persona (IDE) -- `*task [name]` - Execute a specific task (IDE) +1. **Detects ambiguity** - Pattern recognition identifies unclear requirements +2. **Initiates collaboration** - Automatically escalates to appropriate specialists (UX designer, analyst, PM, architect) +3. **External LLM coordination** - Creates prompts for external LLMs like Gemini for additional guidance +4. **Maintains context** - Preserves all collaboration context for seamless handoffs -[Learn more about BMAD orchestration](docs/readme.md) | [Detailed mechanics](docs/workflow-diagram.md) | [Command reference](docs/instruction.md) +### Quality Framework Enhancements -## Complete Documentation Ecosystem (NEW in 4.0) +- **10-phase comprehensive auditing** with A-F scoring system +- **Automatic remediation execution** without manual intervention +- **Story-to-code audit** ensuring implementation matches requirements +- **Regression prevention** through pattern compliance checking +- **78-86% token reduction** through intelligent resource management -BMAD Method 4.0 includes the most comprehensive AI-driven development documentation available, with **complete persona packages**, **integration guides**, and **quality frameworks**. -

This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). + +### Key Architectural Components + +#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) + +- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) +- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies +- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use +- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context + +#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) + +- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes +- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) +- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments + +#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) + +- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types +- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development +- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions + +#### 4. Reusable Resources + +- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories +- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" +- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review +- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences + +### Dual Environment Architecture + +#### IDE Environment + +- Users interact directly with agent markdown files +- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically +- Supports real-time file operations and project integration +- Optimized for development workflow execution + +#### Web UI Environment + +- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent +- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team +- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces +- Provides complete context in one package + +### Template Processing System + +BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: + +1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates +2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output +3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming + +### Technical Preferences Integration + +The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: + +- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects +- Eliminates repetitive technology specification +- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences +- Evolves over time with lessons learned + +### Build and Delivery Process + +The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: + +1. Reading agent or team definition files +2. Recursively resolving all dependencies +3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators +4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces + +This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. + +## Complete Development Workflow + +### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) + +**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** + +**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: + +1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis + +**For All Projects**: + +1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis +2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) +3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements +4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation +5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency +6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` + +#### Example Planning Prompts + +**For PRD Creation**: + +```text +"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. +Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." +``` + +**For Architecture Design**: + +```text +"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture +that can handle [specific requirements]." +``` + +### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE + +**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** + +- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding +- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks +- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project + +### IDE Development Workflow + +**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder + +1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): + - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development + - Two methods to shard: + a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat + b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents + - Shards `docs/prd.md` โ†’ `docs/prd/` folder + - Shards `docs/architecture.md` โ†’ `docs/architecture/` folder + - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! + +2. **Verify Sharded Content**: + - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order + - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference + - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation + +Resulting Folder Structure: + +- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections +- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections +- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories + +1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): + + **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: + - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows + - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation + - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** + + **Step 1 - Story Creation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ Select powerful model โ†’ `@sm` โ†’ `*create` + - SM executes create-next-story task + - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` + - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" + + **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@dev` + - Agent asks which story to implement + - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time + - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion + - Dev maintains File List of all changes + - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing + + **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@qa` โ†’ execute review-story task + - QA performs senior developer code review + - QA can refactor and improve code directly + - QA appends results to story's QA Results section + - If approved: Status โ†’ "Done" + - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev + + **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM โ†’ Dev โ†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete + +**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. + +### Status Tracking Workflow + +Stories progress through defined statuses: + +- **Draft** โ†’ **Approved** โ†’ **InProgress** โ†’ **Done** + +Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. + +### Workflow Types + +#### Greenfield Development + +- Business analysis and market research +- Product requirements and feature definition +- System architecture and design +- Development execution +- Testing and deployment + +#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) + +**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. + +**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: + +**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` +3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` + - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided + - Choose "single document" format for Web UI + - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas + - Creates one comprehensive markdown file + - Avoids bloating docs with unused code + +**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** +2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` + - More thorough but can create excessive documentation + +4. **Requirements Gathering**: + - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` + - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points + - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment + - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes + +5. **Architecture Planning**: + - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` + -

Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. + - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ +3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. + - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ +4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. + - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ + +### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt + +You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. + +1. **Gather Foundational Context**: + - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. +2. **Describe the Visuals**: + - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. + - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). +3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: + - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. +4. **Present and Refine**: + - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). + - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. + - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. diff --git a/prj/.bmad-core/tasks/index-docs.md b/prj/.bmad-core/tasks/index-docs.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..3494de31 --- /dev/null +++ b/prj/.bmad-core/tasks/index-docs.md @@ -0,0 +1,179 @@ +# Index Documentation Task + +## Purpose + +This task maintains the integrity and completeness of the `docs/index.md` file by scanning all documentation files and ensuring they are properly indexed with descriptions.

Brownfield is very similar, but its suggested to understand this greenfield first, even if on a simple project before tackling a brownfield project. The BMad Method needs to be installed to the root of your new project folder. For the planning phase, you can optionally perform it with powerful web agents, potentially resulting in higher quality results at a fraction of the cost it would take to complete if providing your own API key or credits in some Agentic tools. For planning, powerful thinking models and larger context - along with working as a partner with the agents will net the best results. + +If you are going to use the BMad Method with a Brownfield project (an existing project), review [Working in the Brownfield](./working-in-the-brownfield.md) + +If you do not see the diagrams that following rendering, you can install Markdown All in One along with the Markdown Preview Mermaid Support plugins to VSCode (or one of the forked clones).

Currently the most important is the devLoadAlwaysFiles list section in the yaml. + +### Developer Context Files + +Define which files the dev agent should always load: + +```yaml +devLoadAlwaysFiles: + - docs/architecture/coding-standards.md + - docs/architecture/tech-stack.md + - docs/architecture/project-structure.md +``` + +You will want to verify from sharding your architecture that these documents exist, that they are as lean as possible, and contain exactly the information you want your dev agent to ALWAYS load into it's context. These are the rules the agent will follow. + +As your project grows and the code starts to build consistent patterns, coding standards should be reduced to just the items that the agent makes mistakes at still - must with the better models, they will look at surrounding code in files and not need a rule from that file to guide them. + +## Getting Help + +- **Discord Community**: [Join Discord](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj) +- **GitHub Issues**: [Report bugs](https://github.com/bmadcode/bmad-method/issues) +- **Documentation**: [Browse docs](https://github.com/bmadcode/bmad-method/docs) +- **YouTube**: [BMadCode Channel](https://www.youtube.com/@BMadCode) + +## Conclusion + +Remember: BMad is designed to enhance your development process, not replace your expertise.

Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. + - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ +3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. + - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ +4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. + - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ + +### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt + +You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. + +1. **Gather Foundational Context**: + - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. +2. **Describe the Visuals**: + - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. + - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). +3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: + - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. +4. **Present and Refine**: + - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). + - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. + - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. diff --git a/prj/.claude/commands/BMad/tasks/index-docs.md b/prj/.claude/commands/BMad/tasks/index-docs.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..f05e1cd2 --- /dev/null +++ b/prj/.claude/commands/BMad/tasks/index-docs.md @@ -0,0 +1,183 @@ +# /index-docs Task + +When this command is used, execute the following task: + +# Index Documentation Task + +## Purpose + +This task maintains the integrity and completeness of the `docs/index.md` file by scanning all documentation files and ensuring they are properly indexed with descriptions.

The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments. + +### Key Features + +- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role +- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization +- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs +- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists +- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control + +### When to Use BMad + +- **New Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end development +- **Existing Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions and enhancements +- **Team Collaboration**: Multiple roles working together +- **Quality Assurance**: Structured testing and validation +- **Documentation**: Professional PRDs, architecture docs, user stories + +## How BMad Works + +### The Core Method + +BMad transforms you into a "Vibe CEO" - directing a team of specialized AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how: + +1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide vision and decisions; agents handle implementation details +2. **Specialized Agents**: Each agent masters one role (PM, Developer, Architect, etc.) +3. **Structured Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from idea to deployed code +4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective + +### The Two-Phase Approach + +#### Phase 1: Planning (Web UI - Cost Effective) + +- Use large context windows (Gemini's 1M tokens) +- Generate comprehensive documents (PRD, Architecture) +- Leverage multiple agents for brainstorming +- Create once, use throughout development + +#### Phase 2: Development (IDE - Implementation) + +- Shard documents into manageable pieces +- Execute focused SM โ†’ Dev cycles +- One story at a time, sequential progress +- Real-time file operations and testing + +### The Development Loop + +```text +1. SM Agent (New Chat) โ†’ Creates next story from sharded docs +2. You โ†’ Review and approve story +3. Dev Agent (New Chat) โ†’ Implements approved story +4. QA Agent (New Chat) โ†’ Reviews and refactors code +5. You โ†’ Verify completion +6. Repeat until epic complete +``` + +### Why This Works + +- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance +- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality +- **Incremental Progress**: Small stories = manageable complexity +- **Human Oversight**: You validate each step = quality control +- **Document-Driven**: Specs guide everything = consistency + +## Getting Started + +### Quick Start Options + +#### Option 1: Web UI + +**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately + +1. Navigate to `dist/teams/` +2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content +3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT +4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed" +5. Type `/help` to see available commands + +#### Option 2: IDE Integration + +**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Trae, Cline, Roo Code, Github Copilot users + +```bash +# Interactive installation (recommended) +npx bmad-method install +``` + +**Installation Steps**: + +- Choose "Complete installation" +- Select your IDE from supported options: + - **Cursor**: Native AI integration + - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE + - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities + - **Trae**: Built-in AI capabilities + - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features + - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support + - **GitHub Copilot**: VS Code extension with AI peer programming assistant + +**Note for VS Code Users**: BMad-Method assumes when you mention "VS Code" that you're using it with an AI-powered extension like GitHub Copilot, Cline, or Roo. Standard VS Code without AI capabilities cannot run BMad agents. The installer includes built-in support for Cline and Roo. + +**Verify Installation**: + +- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents +- IDE-specific integration files created +- All agent commands/rules/modes available + +**Remember**: At its core, BMad-Method is about mastering and harnessing prompt engineering. Any IDE with AI agent support can use BMad - the framework provides the structured prompts and workflows that make AI development effective + +### Environment Selection Guide + +**Use Web UI for**: + +- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture) +- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini) +- Brainstorming and analysis phases +- Multi-agent consultation and planning + +**Use IDE for**: + +- Active development and coding +- File operations and project integration +- Document sharding and story management +- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles) + +**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development. + +### IDE-Only Workflow Considerations + +**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs: + +**Pros of IDE-Only**: + +- Single environment workflow +- Direct file operations from start +- No copy/paste between environments +- Immediate project integration + +**Cons of IDE-Only**: + +- Higher token costs for large document creation +- Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model) +- May hit limits during planning phases +- Less cost-effective for brainstorming + +**Using Web Agents in IDE**: + +- **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts +- **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context +- **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization + +**About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**: + +- **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT... +- **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results +- **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs +- **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but... + +**CRITICAL RULE for Development**: + +- **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master or bmad-orchestrator +- **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master or bmad-orchestrator +- **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow +- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM โ†’ Dev for implementation + +**Best Practice for IDE-Only**: + +1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master) +2. Create documents directly in project +3. Shard immediately after creation +4. **MUST switch to SM agent** for story creation +5. **MUST switch to Dev agent** for implementation +6. Keep planning and coding in separate chat sessions + +## Core Configuration (core-config.yaml) + +**New in V4**: The `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMad to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility. + +### What is core-config.yaml? + +This configuration file acts as a map for BMad agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables: + +- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures +- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live +- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load +- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting + +### Key Configuration Areas + +#### PRD Configuration + +- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions +- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true) +- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files +- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`) + +#### Architecture Configuration + +- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded) +- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components +- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live + +#### Developer Files + +- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task +- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures +- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations + +### Why It Matters + +1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure +2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace +3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMad to match your team's process +4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration + +### Common Configurations + +**Legacy V3 Project**: + +```yaml +prdVersion: v3 +prdSharded: false +architectureVersion: v3 +architectureSharded: false +``` + +**V4 Optimized Project**: + +```yaml +prdVersion: v4 +prdSharded: true +prdShardedLocation: docs/prd +architectureVersion: v4 +architectureSharded: true +architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture +``` + +## Core Philosophy + +### Vibe CEO'ing + +You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision.

This is not a linear process. +5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs. +6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs. +7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand. +8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges. + +### Key Workflow Principles + +1. **Agent Specialization**: Each agent has specific expertise and responsibilities +2. **Clean Handoffs**: Always start fresh when switching between agents +3. **Status Tracking**: Maintain story statuses (Draft โ†’ Approved โ†’ InProgress โ†’ Done) +4. **Iterative Development**: Complete one story before starting the next +5. **Documentation First**: Always start with solid PRD and architecture + +## Agent System + +### Core Development Team + +| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | +| ----------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | +| `analyst` | Business Analyst | Market research, requirements gathering | Project planning, competitive analysis | +| `pm` | Product Manager | PRD creation, feature prioritization | Strategic planning, roadmaps | +| `architect` | Solution Architect | System design, technical architecture | Complex systems, scalability planning | +| `dev` | Developer | Code implementation, debugging | All development tasks | +| `qa` | QA Specialist | Test planning, quality assurance | Testing strategies, bug validation | +| `ux-expert` | UX Designer | UI/UX design, prototypes | User experience, interface design | +| `po` | Product Owner | Backlog management, story validation | Story refinement, acceptance criteria | +| `sm` | Scrum Master | Sprint planning, story creation | Project management, workflow | + +### Meta Agents + +| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | +| ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | +| `bmad-orchestrator` | Team Coordinator | Multi-agent workflows, role switching | Complex multi-role tasks | +| `bmad-master` | Universal Expert | All capabilities without switching | Single-session comprehensive work | + +### Agent Interaction Commands + +#### IDE-Specific Syntax + +**Agent Loading by IDE**: + +- **Claude Code**: `/agent-name` (e.g., `/bmad-master`) +- **Cursor**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) +- **Windsurf**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) +- **Trae**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) +- **Roo Code**: Select mode from mode selector (e.g., `bmad-master`) +- **GitHub Copilot**: Open the Chat view (`โŒƒโŒ˜I` on Mac, `Ctrl+Alt+I` on Windows/Linux) and select **Agent** from the chat mode selector. + +**Chat Management Guidelines**: + +- **Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Trae**: Start new chats when switching agents +- **Roo Code**: Switch modes within the same conversation + +**Common Task Commands**: + +- `*help` - Show available commands +- `*status` - Show current context/progress +- `*exit` - Exit the agent mode +- `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd` - Shard PRD into manageable pieces +- `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture` - Shard architecture document +- `*create` - Run create-next-story task (SM agent) + +**In Web UI**: + +```text +/pm create-doc prd +/architect review system design +/dev implement story 1.2 +/help - Show available commands +/switch agent-name - Change active agent (if orchestrator available) +``` + +## Team Configurations + +### Pre-Built Teams + +#### Team All + +- **Includes**: All 10 agents + orchestrator +- **Use Case**: Complete projects requiring all roles +- **Bundle**: `team-all.txt` + +#### Team Fullstack + +- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA, UX Expert +- **Use Case**: End-to-end web/mobile development +- **Bundle**: `team-fullstack.txt` + +#### Team No-UI + +- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA (no UX Expert) +- **Use Case**: Backend services, APIs, system development +- **Bundle**: `team-no-ui.txt` + +## Core Architecture + +### System Overview + +The BMad-Method is built around a modular architecture centered on the `bmad-core` directory, which serves as the brain of the entire system. This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). + +### Key Architectural Components + +#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) + +- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) +- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies +- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use +- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context + +#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) + +- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes +- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) +- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments + +#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) + +- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types +- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development +- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions + +#### 4. Reusable Resources + +- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories +- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" +- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review +- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences + +### Dual Environment Architecture + +#### IDE Environment + +- Users interact directly with agent markdown files +- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically +- Supports real-time file operations and project integration +- Optimized for development workflow execution + +#### Web UI Environment + +- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent +- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team +- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces +- Provides complete context in one package + +### Template Processing System + +BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: + +1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates +2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output +3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming + +### Technical Preferences Integration + +The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: + +- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects +- Eliminates repetitive technology specification +- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences +- Evolves over time with lessons learned + +### Build and Delivery Process + +The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: + +1. Reading agent or team definition files +2. Recursively resolving all dependencies +3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators +4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces + +This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. + +## Complete Development Workflow + +### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) + +**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** + +**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: + +1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis + +**For All Projects**: + +1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis +2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) +3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements +4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation +5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency +6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` + +#### Example Planning Prompts + +**For PRD Creation**: + +```text +"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. +Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." +``` + +**For Architecture Design**: + +```text +"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture +that can handle [specific requirements]." +``` + +### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE + +**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** + +- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding +- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks +- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project + +### IDE Development Workflow + +**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder + +1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): + - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development + - Two methods to shard: + a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat + b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents + - Shards `docs/prd.md` โ†’ `docs/prd/` folder + - Shards `docs/architecture.md` โ†’ `docs/architecture/` folder + - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! + +2. **Verify Sharded Content**: + - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order + - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference + - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation + +Resulting Folder Structure: + +- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections +- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections +- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories + +1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): + + **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: + - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows + - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation + - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** + + **Step 1 - Story Creation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ Select powerful model โ†’ `@sm` โ†’ `*create` + - SM executes create-next-story task + - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` + - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" + + **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@dev` + - Agent asks which story to implement + - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time + - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion + - Dev maintains File List of all changes + - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing + + **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@qa` โ†’ execute review-story task + - QA performs senior developer code review + - QA can refactor and improve code directly + - QA appends results to story's QA Results section + - If approved: Status โ†’ "Done" + - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev + + **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM โ†’ Dev โ†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete + +**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. + +### Status Tracking Workflow + +Stories progress through defined statuses: + +- **Draft** โ†’ **Approved** โ†’ **InProgress** โ†’ **Done** + +Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. + +### Workflow Types + +#### Greenfield Development + +- Business analysis and market research +- Product requirements and feature definition +- System architecture and design +- Development execution +- Testing and deployment + +#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) + +**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. + +**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: + +**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` +3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` + - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided + - Choose "single document" format for Web UI + - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas + - Creates one comprehensive markdown file + - Avoids bloating docs with unused code + +**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** +2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` + - More thorough but can create excessive documentation + +4. **Requirements Gathering**: + - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` + - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points + - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment + - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes + +5. **Architecture Planning**: + - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` + - **Integration Strategy**: How new features integrate with existing system + - **Migration Planning**: Gradual rollout and backwards compatibility + - **Risk Mitigation**: Addressing potential breaking changes + +**Brownfield-Specific Resources**: + +**Templates**: + +- `brownfield-prd-tmpl.md`: Comprehensive enhancement planning with existing system analysis +- `brownfield-architecture-tmpl.md`: Integration-focused architecture for existing systems + +**Tasks**: + +- `document-project`: Generates comprehensive documentation from existing codebase +- `brownfield-create-epic`: Creates single epic for focused enhancements (when full PRD is overkill) +- `brownfield-create-story`: Creates individual story for small, isolated changes + +**When to Use Each Approach**: + +**Full Brownfield Workflow** (Recommended for): + +- Major feature additions +- System modernization +- Complex integrations +- Multiple related changes + +**Quick Epic/Story Creation** (Use when): + +- Single, focused enhancement +- Isolated bug fixes +- Small feature additions +- Well-documented existing system + +**Critical Success Factors**: + +1. **Documentation First**: Always run `document-project` if docs are outdated/missing +2. **Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant code sections +3. **Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes +4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and testing + +**For detailed guide**: See `docs/working-in-the-brownfield.md` + +## Document Creation Best Practices + +### Required File Naming for Framework Integration + +- `docs/prd.md` -

(e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) +- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? +- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) +- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) + +### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis + +CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: + +1. **Explore Key Areas**: + - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) + - Configuration files and environment setup + - Package dependencies and versions + - Build and deployment configurations + - Test suites and coverage + +2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: + - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" + - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" + - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" + - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" + - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" + +3. **Map the Reality**: + - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) + - Find where key business logic lives + - Locate integration points and external dependencies + - Document workarounds and technical debt + - Note areas that differ from standard patterns + +**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement + +### 3.

This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase. + +## Task Instructions + +### 1. Initial Project Analysis + +**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. + +**IF PRD EXISTS**: + +- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned +- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected +- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas +- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean + +**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: +Ask the user: + +"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: + +1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. + +2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? + +3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: + - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' + - 'Refactoring the authentication module' + - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' + +4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) + +Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." + +Based on their response: + +- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation +- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below + +Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: + +1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization +2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies +3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands +4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation +5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches + +Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: + +- What is the primary purpose of this project? +- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? +- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) +- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? +- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) +- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) + +### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis + +CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: + +1. **Explore Key Areas**: + - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) + - Configuration files and environment setup + - Package dependencies and versions + - Build and deployment configurations + - Test suites and coverage + +2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: + - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" + - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" + - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" + - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" + - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" + +3. **Map the Reality**: + - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) + - Find where key business logic lives + - Locate integration points and external dependencies + - Document workarounds and technical debt + - Note areas that differ from standard patterns + +**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement + +### 3.

Core Prompting Principles + +Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code. + +- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. +- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. +- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. +- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. + +### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework + +To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. + +1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. + - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ +2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. + - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ +3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. + - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ +4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. + - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ + +### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt + +You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. + +1. **Gather Foundational Context**: + - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. +2. **Describe the Visuals**: + - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. + - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). +3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: + - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. +4. **Present and Refine**: + - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). + - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. + - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/generate-ai-frontend-prompt.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/index-docs.md ==================== +# Index Documentation Task + +## Purpose + +This task maintains the integrity and completeness of the `docs/index.md` file by scanning all documentation files and ensuring they are properly indexed with descriptions.

This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). + +### Key Architectural Components + +#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) + +- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) +- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies +- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use +- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context + +#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) + +- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes +- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) +- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments + +#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) + +- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types +- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development +- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions + +#### 4. Reusable Resources + +- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories +- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" +- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review +- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences + +### Dual Environment Architecture + +#### IDE Environment + +- Users interact directly with agent markdown files +- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically +- Supports real-time file operations and project integration +- Optimized for development workflow execution + +#### Web UI Environment + +- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent +- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team +- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces +- Provides complete context in one package + +### Template Processing System + +BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: + +1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates +2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output +3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming + +### Technical Preferences Integration + +The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: + +- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects +- Eliminates repetitive technology specification +- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences +- Evolves over time with lessons learned + +### Build and Delivery Process + +The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: + +1. Reading agent or team definition files +2. Recursively resolving all dependencies +3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators +4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces + +This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. + +## Complete Development Workflow + +### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) + +**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** + +**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: + +1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis + +**For All Projects**: + +1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis +2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) +3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements +4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation +5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency +6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` + +#### Example Planning Prompts + +**For PRD Creation**: + +```text +"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. +Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." +``` + +**For Architecture Design**: + +```text +"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture +that can handle [specific requirements]." +``` + +### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE + +**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** + +- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding +- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks +- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project + +### IDE Development Workflow + +**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder + +1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): + - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development + - Two methods to shard: + a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat + b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents + - Shards `docs/prd.md` โ†’ `docs/prd/` folder + - Shards `docs/architecture.md` โ†’ `docs/architecture/` folder + - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! + +2. **Verify Sharded Content**: + - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order + - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference + - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation + +Resulting Folder Structure: + +- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections +- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections +- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories + +1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): + + **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: + - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows + - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation + - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** + + **Step 1 - Story Creation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ Select powerful model โ†’ `@sm` โ†’ `*create` + - SM executes create-next-story task + - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` + - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" + + **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@dev` + - Agent asks which story to implement + - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time + - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion + - Dev maintains File List of all changes + - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing + + **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@qa` โ†’ execute review-story task + - QA performs senior developer code review + - QA can refactor and improve code directly + - QA appends results to story's QA Results section + - If approved: Status โ†’ "Done" + - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev + + **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM โ†’ Dev โ†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete + +**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. + +### Status Tracking Workflow + +Stories progress through defined statuses: + +- **Draft** โ†’ **Approved** โ†’ **InProgress** โ†’ **Done** + +Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. + +### Workflow Types + +#### Greenfield Development + +- Business analysis and market research +- Product requirements and feature definition +- System architecture and design +- Development execution +- Testing and deployment + +#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) + +**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. + +**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: + +**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` +3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` + - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided + - Choose "single document" format for Web UI + - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas + - Creates one comprehensive markdown file + - Avoids bloating docs with unused code + +**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** +2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` + - More thorough but can create excessive documentation + +4. **Requirements Gathering**: + - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` + - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points + - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment + - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes + +5. **Architecture Planning**: + - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` + -

This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). + +### Key Architectural Components + +#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) + +- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) +- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies +- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use +- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context + +#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) + +- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes +- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) +- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments + +#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) + +- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types +- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development +- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions + +#### 4. Reusable Resources + +- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories +- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" +- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review +- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences + +### Dual Environment Architecture + +#### IDE Environment + +- Users interact directly with agent markdown files +- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically +- Supports real-time file operations and project integration +- Optimized for development workflow execution + +#### Web UI Environment + +- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent +- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team +- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces +- Provides complete context in one package + +### Template Processing System + +BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: + +1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates +2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output +3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming + +### Technical Preferences Integration + +The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: + +- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects +- Eliminates repetitive technology specification +- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences +- Evolves over time with lessons learned + +### Build and Delivery Process + +The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: + +1. Reading agent or team definition files +2. Recursively resolving all dependencies +3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators +4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces + +This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. + +## Complete Development Workflow + +### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) + +**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** + +**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: + +1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis + +**For All Projects**: + +1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis +2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) +3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements +4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation +5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency +6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` + +#### Example Planning Prompts + +**For PRD Creation**: + +```text +"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. +Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." +``` + +**For Architecture Design**: + +```text +"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture +that can handle [specific requirements]." +``` + +### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE + +**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** + +- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding +- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks +- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project + +### IDE Development Workflow + +**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder + +1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): + - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development + - Two methods to shard: + a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat + b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents + - Shards `docs/prd.md` โ†’ `docs/prd/` folder + - Shards `docs/architecture.md` โ†’ `docs/architecture/` folder + - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! + +2. **Verify Sharded Content**: + - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order + - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference + - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation + +Resulting Folder Structure: + +- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections +- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections +- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories + +1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): + + **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: + - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows + - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation + - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** + + **Step 1 - Story Creation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ Select powerful model โ†’ `@sm` โ†’ `*create` + - SM executes create-next-story task + - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` + - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" + + **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@dev` + - Agent asks which story to implement + - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time + - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion + - Dev maintains File List of all changes + - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing + + **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@qa` โ†’ execute review-story task + - QA performs senior developer code review + - QA can refactor and improve code directly + - QA appends results to story's QA Results section + - If approved: Status โ†’ "Done" + - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev + + **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM โ†’ Dev โ†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete + +**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. + +### Status Tracking Workflow + +Stories progress through defined statuses: + +- **Draft** โ†’ **Approved** โ†’ **InProgress** โ†’ **Done** + +Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. + +### Workflow Types + +#### Greenfield Development + +- Business analysis and market research +- Product requirements and feature definition +- System architecture and design +- Development execution +- Testing and deployment + +#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) + +**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. + +**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: + +**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` +3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` + - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided + - Choose "single document" format for Web UI + - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas + - Creates one comprehensive markdown file + - Avoids bloating docs with unused code + +**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** +2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` + - More thorough but can create excessive documentation + +4. **Requirements Gathering**: + - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` + - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points + - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment + - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes + +5. **Architecture Planning**: + - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` + -

Initial Setup & Mode Selection + +- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** + - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. + - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. + - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `.bmad-core/checklists/change-checklist`. +- **Establish Interaction Mode:** + - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: + - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the change-checklist section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." + - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." + - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode and then inform the user: "We will now use the change-checklist to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." + +### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) + +- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the change-checklist (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). +- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): + - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. + - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. + - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. + - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. + - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. + +### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) + +- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): + - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). + - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: + - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. + - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. + - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). + - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. + - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). + - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. + - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. + +### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits + +- Synthesize the complete change-checklist analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the change-checklist. +- The proposal must clearly present: + - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. + - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). +- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. + +### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps + +- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. +- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. +- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** + - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. + - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. + +## Output Deliverables + +- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: + - A summary of the change-checklist analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). + - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. +- **Implicit:** An annotated change-checklist (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/correct-course.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/create-deep-research-prompt.md ==================== +# Create Deep Research Prompt Task + +This task helps create comprehensive research prompts for various types of deep analysis.

Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) + +- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): + - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). + - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: + - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. + - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. + - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). + - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. + - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). + - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. + - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. + +### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits + +- Synthesize the complete change-checklist analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal."

Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. + +### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps + +- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. +- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. +- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** + - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. + - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. + +## Output Deliverables + +- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format).

Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) + +- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): + - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). + - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: + - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. + - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. + - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). + - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. + - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). + - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. + - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. + +### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits + +- Synthesize the complete change-checklist analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the change-checklist. +- The proposal must clearly present: + - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. + - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). +- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. + +### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps + +- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. +- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. +- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** + - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. + - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. + +## Output Deliverables + +- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: + - A summary of the change-checklist analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). + - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. +- **Implicit:** An annotated change-checklist (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/correct-course.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/templates/story-tmpl.yaml ==================== +template: + id: story-template-v2 + name: Story Document + version: 2.0 + output: + format: markdown + filename: docs/stories/{{epic_num}}.{{story_num}}.{{story_title_short}}.md + title: "Story {{epic_num}}.{{story_num}}: {{story_title_short}}" + +workflow: + mode: interactive + elicitation: advanced-elicitation + +agent_config: + editable_sections: + -

Core Prompting Principles + +Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code. + +- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. +- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. +- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. +- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. + +### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework + +To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. + +1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. + - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ +2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. + - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ +3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. + - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ +4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. + - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ + +### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt + +You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. + +1. **Gather Foundational Context**: + - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. +2. **Describe the Visuals**: + - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. + - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). +3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: + - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. +4. **Present and Refine**: + - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). + - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. + - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/generate-ai-frontend-prompt.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/create-doc.md ==================== +# Create Document from Template (YAML Driven) + +## โš ๏ธ CRITICAL EXECUTION NOTICE โš ๏ธ + +**THIS IS AN EXECUTABLE WORKFLOW - NOT REFERENCE MATERIAL** + +When this task is invoked: + +1. **DISABLE ALL EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATIONS** - This workflow requires full user interaction +2. **MANDATORY STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION** - Each section must be processed sequentially with user feedback +3. **ELICITATION IS REQUIRED** - When `elicit: true`, you MUST use the 1-9 format and wait for user response +4. **NO SHORTCUTS ALLOWED** - Complete documents cannot be created without following this workflow + +**VIOLATION INDICATOR:** If you create a complete document without user interaction, you have violated this workflow. + +## Critical: Template Discovery + +If a YAML Template has not been provided, list all templates from .bmad-core/templates or ask the user to provide another. + +## CRITICAL: Mandatory Elicitation Format + +**When `elicit: true`, this is a HARD STOP requiring user interaction:** + +**YOU MUST:** + +1.

Game Design Context and Review + +[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a game design section: + +1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Phaser 3.") + +2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") + +3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: + + - The entire section as a whole + - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) + +4. Then present the action list as specified below.]] + +### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List + +[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection.

Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] + +1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) + [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] + +2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective + [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] + +3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies + [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] + +4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals + [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] + +5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks + [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] + +6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective + [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] + +7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches + [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] + +8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection + [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] + +9.

These guidelines ensure consistency, performance, and maintainability across all game development stories. + +## TypeScript Standards + +### Strict Mode Configuration + +**Required tsconfig.json settings:** + +```json +{ + "compilerOptions": { + "strict": true, + "noImplicitAny": true, + "strictNullChecks": true, + "strictFunctionTypes": true, + "noImplicitReturns": true, + "noUnusedLocals": true, + "noUnusedParameters": true, + "exactOptionalPropertyTypes": true + } +} +``` + +### Type Definitions + +**Game Object Interfaces:** + +```typescript +// Core game entity interface +interface GameEntity { + readonly id: string; + position: Phaser.Math.Vector2; + active: boolean; + destroy(): void; +} + +// Player controller interface +interface PlayerController { + readonly inputEnabled: boolean; + handleInput(input: InputState): void; + update(delta: number): void; +} + +// Game system interface +interface GameSystem { + readonly name: string; + initialize(): void; + update(delta: number): void; + shutdown(): void; +} +``` + +**Scene Data Interfaces:** + +```typescript +// Scene transition data +interface SceneData { + [key: string]: any; +} + +// Game state interface +interface GameState { + currentLevel: number; + score: number; + lives: number; + settings: GameSettings; +} + +interface GameSettings { + musicVolume: number; + sfxVolume: number; + difficulty: "easy" | "normal" | "hard"; + controls: ControlScheme; +} +``` + +### Naming Conventions + +**Classes and Interfaces:** + +- PascalCase for classes: `PlayerSprite`, `GameManager`, `AudioSystem` +- PascalCase with 'I' prefix for interfaces: `IGameEntity`, `IPlayerController` +- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `CollisionManager` not `CM` + +**Methods and Variables:** + +- camelCase for methods and variables: `updatePosition()`, `playerSpeed` +- Descriptive names: `calculateDamage()` not `calcDmg()` +- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `isActive`, `hasCollision`, `canMove` + +**Constants:** + +- UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants: `MAX_PLAYER_SPEED`, `DEFAULT_VOLUME` +- Group related constants in enums or const objects + +**Files and Directories:** + +- kebab-case for file names: `player-controller.ts`, `audio-manager.ts` +- PascalCase for scene files: `MenuScene.ts`, `GameScene.ts` + +## Phaser 3 Architecture Patterns + +### Scene Organization + +**Scene Lifecycle Management:** + +```typescript +class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { + private gameManager!: GameManager; + private inputManager!: InputManager; + + constructor() { + super({ key: "GameScene" }); + } + + preload(): void { + // Load only scene-specific assets + this.load.image("player", "assets/player.png"); + } + + create(data: SceneData): void { + // Initialize game systems + this.gameManager = new GameManager(this); + this.inputManager = new InputManager(this); + + // Set up scene-specific logic + this.setupGameObjects(); + this.setupEventListeners(); + } + + update(time: number, delta: number): void { + // Update all game systems + this.gameManager.update(delta); + this.inputManager.update(delta); + } + + shutdown(): void { + // Clean up resources + this.gameManager.destroy(); + this.inputManager.destroy(); + + // Remove event listeners + this.events.off("*"); + } +} +``` + +**Scene Transitions:** + +```typescript +// Proper scene transitions with data +this.scene.start("NextScene", { + playerScore: this.playerScore, + currentLevel: this.currentLevel + 1, +}); + +// Scene overlays for UI +this.scene.launch("PauseMenuScene"); +this.scene.pause(); +``` + +### Game Object Patterns + +**Component-Based Architecture:** + +```typescript +// Base game entity +abstract class GameEntity extends Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite { + protected components: Map = new Map(); + + constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, x: number, y: number, texture: string) { + super(scene, x, y, texture); + scene.add.existing(this); + } + + addComponent(component: T): T { + this.components.set(component.name, component);

+ } + + destroy(): void { + this.components.forEach((component) => component.destroy()); + this.components.clear(); + super.destroy(); + } +} + +// Example player implementation +class Player extends GameEntity { + private movement!: MovementComponent; + private health!: HealthComponent; + + constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, x: number, y: number) { + super(scene, x, y, "player"); + + this.movement = this.addComponent(new MovementComponent(this)); + this.health = this.addComponent(new HealthComponent(this, 100)); + } +} +``` + +### System Management + +**Singleton Managers:** + +```typescript +class GameManager { + private static instance: GameManager; + private scene: Phaser.Scene; + private gameState: GameState; + + constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene) { + if (GameManager.instance) { + throw new Error("GameManager already exists!"); + } + + this.scene = scene; + this.gameState = this.loadGameState(); + GameManager.instance = this; + } + + static getInstance(): GameManager { + if (!GameManager.instance) { + throw new Error("GameManager not initialized!"); + } + return GameManager.instance; + } + + update(delta: number): void { + // Update game logic + } + + destroy(): void { + GameManager.instance = null!; + } +} +``` + +## Performance Optimization + +### Object Pooling + +**Required for High-Frequency Objects:** + +```typescript +class BulletPool { + private pool: Bullet[] = []; + private scene: Phaser.Scene; + + constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, initialSize: number = 50) { + this.scene = scene; + + // Pre-create bullets + for (let i = 0; i < initialSize; i++) { + const bullet = new Bullet(scene, 0, 0); + bullet.setActive(false); + bullet.setVisible(false); + this.pool.push(bullet); + } + } + + getBullet(): Bullet | null { + const bullet = this.pool.find((b) => !b.active); + if (bullet) { + bullet.setActive(true); + bullet.setVisible(true); + return bullet; + } + + // Pool exhausted - create new bullet + console.warn("Bullet pool exhausted, creating new bullet"); + return new Bullet(this.scene, 0, 0); + } + + releaseBullet(bullet: Bullet): void { + bullet.setActive(false); + bullet.setVisible(false); + bullet.setPosition(0, 0); + } +} +``` + +### Frame Rate Optimization + +**Performance Monitoring:** + +```typescript +class PerformanceMonitor { + private frameCount: number = 0; + private lastTime: number = 0; + private frameRate: number = 60; + + update(time: number): void { + this.frameCount++; + + if (time - this.lastTime >= 1000) { + this.frameRate = this.frameCount; + this.frameCount = 0; + this.lastTime = time; + + if (this.frameRate < 55) { + console.warn(`Low frame rate detected: ${this.frameRate} FPS`); + this.optimizePerformance(); + } + } + } + + private optimizePerformance(): void { + // Reduce particle counts, disable effects, etc. + } +} +``` + +**Update Loop Optimization:** + +```typescript +// Avoid expensive operations in update loops +class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { + private updateTimer: number = 0; + private readonly UPDATE_INTERVAL = 100; // ms + + update(time: number, delta: number): void { + // High-frequency updates (every frame) + this.updatePlayer(delta); + this.updatePhysics(delta); + + // Low-frequency updates (10 times per second) + this.updateTimer += delta; + if (this.updateTimer >= this.UPDATE_INTERVAL) { + this.updateUI(); + this.updateAI(); + this.updateTimer = 0; + } + } +} +``` + +## Input Handling + +### Cross-Platform Input + +**Input Abstraction:** + +```typescript +interface InputState { + moveLeft: boolean; + moveRight: boolean; + jump: boolean; + action: boolean; + pause: boolean; +} + +class InputManager { + private inputState: InputState = { + moveLeft: false, + moveRight: false, + jump: false, + action: false, + pause: false, + }; + + private keys!: { [key: string]: Phaser.Input.Keyboard.Key }; + private pointer!: Phaser.Input.Pointer; + + constructor(private scene: Phaser.Scene) { + this.setupKeyboard(); + this.setupTouch(); + } + + private setupKeyboard(): void { + this.keys = this.scene.input.keyboard.addKeys("W,A,S,D,SPACE,ESC,UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT"); + } + + private setupTouch(): void { + this.scene.input.on("pointerdown", this.handlePointerDown, this); + this.scene.input.on("pointerup", this.handlePointerUp, this); + } + + update(): void { + // Update input state from multiple sources + this.inputState.moveLeft = this.keys.A.isDown || this.keys.LEFT.isDown; + this.inputState.moveRight = this.keys.D.isDown || this.keys.RIGHT.isDown; + this.inputState.jump = Phaser.Input.Keyboard.JustDown(this.keys.SPACE); + // ... handle touch input + } + + getInputState(): InputState { + return { ...this.inputState }; + } +} +``` + +## Error Handling + +### Graceful Degradation + +**Asset Loading Error Handling:** + +```typescript +class AssetManager { + loadAssets(): Promise { + return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { + this.scene.load.on("filecomplete", this.handleFileComplete, this); + this.scene.load.on("loaderror", this.handleLoadError, this); + this.scene.load.on("complete", () => resolve()); + + this.scene.load.start(); + }); + } + + private handleLoadError(file: Phaser.Loader.File): void { + console.error(`Failed to load asset: ${file.key}`); + + // Use fallback assets + this.loadFallbackAsset(file.key); + } + + private loadFallbackAsset(key: string): void { + // Load placeholder or default assets + switch (key) { + case "player": + this.scene.load.image("player", "assets/defaults/default-player.png"); + break; + default: + console.warn(`No fallback for asset: ${key}`); + } + } +} +``` + +### Runtime Error Recovery + +**System Error Handling:** + +```typescript +class GameSystem { + protected handleError(error: Error, context: string): void { + console.error(`Error in ${context}:`, error); + + // Report to analytics/logging service + this.reportError(error, context); + + // Attempt recovery + this.attemptRecovery(context); + } + + private attemptRecovery(context: string): void { + switch (context) { + case "update": + // Reset system state + this.reset(); + break; + case "render": + // Disable visual effects + this.disableEffects(); + break; + default: + // Generic recovery + this.safeShutdown(); + } + } +} +``` + +## Testing Standards + +### Unit Testing + +**Game Logic Testing:** + +```typescript +// Example test for game mechanics +describe("HealthComponent", () => { + let healthComponent: HealthComponent; + + beforeEach(() => { + const mockEntity = {} as GameEntity; + healthComponent = new HealthComponent(mockEntity, 100); + }); + + test("should initialize with correct health", () => { + expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(100); + expect(healthComponent.maxHealth).toBe(100); + }); + + test("should handle damage correctly", () => { + healthComponent.takeDamage(25); + expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(75); + expect(healthComponent.isAlive()).toBe(true); + }); + + test("should handle death correctly", () => { + healthComponent.takeDamage(150); + expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(0); + expect(healthComponent.isAlive()).toBe(false); + }); +}); +``` + +### Integration Testing + +**Scene Testing:** + +```typescript +describe("GameScene Integration", () => { + let scene: GameScene; + let mockGame: Phaser.Game; + + beforeEach(() => { + // Mock Phaser game instance + mockGame = createMockGame(); + scene = new GameScene(); + }); + + test("should initialize all systems", () => { + scene.create({}); + + expect(scene.gameManager).toBeDefined(); + expect(scene.inputManager).toBeDefined(); + }); +});

Then present the action list as specified below.]] + +### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List + +[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions.

Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] + +1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) + [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] + +2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective + [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] + +3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies + [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] + +4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals + [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] + +5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks + [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] + +6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective + [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] + +7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches + [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] + +8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection + [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] + +9.

This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. + +2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? + +3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: + - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' + - 'Refactoring the authentication module' + - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' + +4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase?

(e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) +- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? +- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) +- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) + +### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis + +CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: + +1. **Explore Key Areas**: + - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) + - Configuration files and environment setup + - Package dependencies and versions + - Build and deployment configurations + - Test suites and coverage + +2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: + - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" + - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" + - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" + - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" + - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" + +3. **Map the Reality**: + - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) + - Find where key business logic lives + - Locate integration points and external dependencies + - Document workarounds and technical debt + - Note areas that differ from standard patterns + +**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement + +### 3.

+ private inputManager!: InputManager; + + constructor() { + super({ key: "GameScene" }); + } + + preload(): void { + // Load only scene-specific assets + this.load.image("player", "assets/player.png"); + } + + create(data: SceneData): void { + // Initialize game systems + this.gameManager = new GameManager(this); + this.inputManager = new InputManager(this); + + // Set up scene-specific logic + this.setupGameObjects();

+ this.inputManager.destroy(); + + // Remove event listeners + this.events.off("*"); + } +} +``` + +**Scene Transitions:** + +```typescript +// Proper scene transitions with data +this.scene.start("NextScene", { + playerScore: this.playerScore, + currentLevel: this.currentLevel + 1, +}); + +// Scene overlays for UI +this.scene.launch("PauseMenuScene"); +this.scene.pause(); +``` + +### Game Object Patterns + +**Component-Based Architecture:** + +```typescript +// Base game entity +abstract class GameEntity extends Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite { + protected components: Map = new Map(); + + constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, x: number, y: number, texture: string) { + super(scene, x, y, texture); + scene.add.existing(this); + } + + addComponent(component: T): T { + this.components.set(component.name, component);

+ } +} +``` + +### System Management + +**Singleton Managers:** + +```typescript +class GameManager { + private static instance: GameManager; + private scene: Phaser.Scene; + private gameState: GameState; + + constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene) { + if (GameManager.instance) { + throw new Error("GameManager already exists!"); + } + + this.scene = scene; + this.gameState = this.loadGameState(); + GameManager.instance = this;

+ } +} +``` + +## Performance Optimization + +### Object Pooling + +**Required for High-Frequency Objects:** + +```typescript +class BulletPool { + private pool: Bullet[] = []; + private scene: Phaser.Scene; + + constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, initialSize: number = 50) { + this.scene = scene; + + // Pre-create bullets + for (let i = 0; i < initialSize; i++) { + const bullet = new Bullet(scene, 0, 0); + bullet.setActive(false); + bullet.setVisible(false); + this.pool.push(bullet); + } + } + + getBullet(): Bullet | null { + const bullet = this.pool.find((b) => !b.active); + if (bullet) { + bullet.setActive(true); + bullet.setVisible(true); + return bullet; + } + + // Pool exhausted - create new bullet + console.warn("Bullet pool exhausted, creating new bullet"); + return new Bullet(this.scene, 0, 0); + } + + releaseBullet(bullet: Bullet): void { + bullet.setActive(false); + bullet.setVisible(false); + bullet.setPosition(0, 0); + } +} +``` + +### Frame Rate Optimization + +**Performance Monitoring:** + +```typescript +class PerformanceMonitor { + private frameCount: number = 0; + private lastTime: number = 0; + private frameRate: number = 60; + + update(time: number): void { + this.frameCount++; + + if (time - this.lastTime >= 1000) { + this.frameRate = this.frameCount; + this.frameCount = 0; + this.lastTime = time; + + if (this.frameRate < 55) { + console.warn(`Low frame rate detected: ${this.frameRate} FPS`); + this.optimizePerformance(); + } + } + } + + private optimizePerformance(): void { + // Reduce particle counts, disable effects, etc. + } +} +``` + +**Update Loop Optimization:** + +```typescript +// Avoid expensive operations in update loops +class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { + private updateTimer: number = 0; + private readonly UPDATE_INTERVAL = 100; // ms + + update(time: number, delta: number): void { + // High-frequency updates (every frame) + this.updatePlayer(delta); + this.updatePhysics(delta); + + // Low-frequency updates (10 times per second) + this.updateTimer += delta; + if (this.updateTimer >= this.UPDATE_INTERVAL) { + this.updateUI(); + this.updateAI(); + this.updateTimer = 0; + } + } +} +``` + +## Input Handling + +### Cross-Platform Input + +**Input Abstraction:** + +```typescript +interface InputState { + moveLeft: boolean; + moveRight: boolean; + jump: boolean; + action: boolean; + pause: boolean; +} + +class InputManager { + private inputState: InputState = { + moveLeft: false, + moveRight: false, + jump: false, + action: false, + pause: false, + }; + + private keys!: { [key: string]: Phaser.Input.Keyboard.Key }; + private pointer!: Phaser.Input.Pointer; + + constructor(private scene: Phaser.Scene) { + this.setupKeyboard(); + this.setupTouch(); + } + + private setupKeyboard(): void { + this.keys = this.scene.input.keyboard.addKeys("W,A,S,D,SPACE,ESC,UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT"); + } + + private setupTouch(): void { + this.scene.input.on("pointerdown", this.handlePointerDown, this); + this.scene.input.on("pointerup", this.handlePointerUp, this); + } + + update(): void { + // Update input state from multiple sources + this.inputState.moveLeft = this.keys.A.isDown || this.keys.LEFT.isDown; + this.inputState.moveRight = this.keys.D.isDown || this.keys.RIGHT.isDown; + this.inputState.jump = Phaser.Input.Keyboard.JustDown(this.keys.SPACE); + // ... handle touch input + } + + getInputState(): InputState { + return { ...this.inputState }; + } +} +``` + +## Error Handling + +### Graceful Degradation + +**Asset Loading Error Handling:** + +```typescript +class AssetManager { + loadAssets(): Promise { + return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { + this.scene.load.on("filecomplete", this.handleFileComplete, this); + this.scene.load.on("loaderror", this.handleLoadError, this); + this.scene.load.on("complete", () => resolve()); + + this.scene.load.start(); + }); + } + + private handleLoadError(file: Phaser.Loader.File): void { + console.error(`Failed to load asset: ${file.key}`); + + // Use fallback assets + this.loadFallbackAsset(file.key); + } + + private loadFallbackAsset(key: string): void { + // Load placeholder or default assets + switch (key) { + case "player": + this.scene.load.image("player", "assets/defaults/default-player.png"); + break; + default: + console.warn(`No fallback for asset: ${key}`); + } + } +} +``` + +### Runtime Error Recovery + +**System Error Handling:** + +```typescript +class GameSystem { + protected handleError(error: Error, context: string): void { + console.error(`Error in ${context}:`, error); + + // Report to analytics/logging service + this.reportError(error, context); + + // Attempt recovery + this.attemptRecovery(context); + } + + private attemptRecovery(context: string): void { + switch (context) { + case "update": + // Reset system state + this.reset(); + break; + case "render": + // Disable visual effects + this.disableEffects(); + break; + default: + // Generic recovery + this.safeShutdown(); + } + } +} +``` + +## Testing Standards + +### Unit Testing + +**Game Logic Testing:** + +```typescript +// Example test for game mechanics +describe("HealthComponent", () => { + let healthComponent: HealthComponent; + + beforeEach(() => { + const mockEntity = {} as GameEntity; + healthComponent = new HealthComponent(mockEntity, 100); + }); + + test("should initialize with correct health", () => { + expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(100);

+ }); + + test("should handle death correctly", () => { + healthComponent.takeDamage(150); + expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(0); + expect(healthComponent.isAlive()).toBe(false); + }); +}); +``` + +### Integration Testing + +**Scene Testing:** + +```typescript +describe("GameScene Integration", () => { + let scene: GameScene; + let mockGame: Phaser.Game; + + beforeEach(() => { + // Mock Phaser game instance + mockGame = createMockGame();

First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Phaser 3.") + +2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") + +3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: + + - The entire section as a whole + - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) + +4. Then present the action list as specified below.]] + +### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List + +[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection.

Expand or Contract for Target Audience + [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] + +1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) + [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] + +2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective + [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] + +3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies + [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] + +4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals + [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] + +5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks + [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] + +6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective + [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] + +7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches + [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] + +8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection + [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] + +9.

Game Design Context and Review + +[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a game design section: + +1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Unity.") + +2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") + +3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: + + - The entire section as a whole + - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) + +4. Then present the action list as specified below.]] + +### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List + +[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection. If an elicitation action (0-8) is chosen, execute it and then re-offer this combined review/elicitation choice. If option 9 is chosen, or if the user provides direct feedback, proceed accordingly.]] + +**Present the numbered list (0-9) with this exact format:** + +```text +**Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions** +Choose an action (0-9 - 9 to bypass - HELP for explanation of these options): + +0.

Expand or Contract for Target Audience + [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] + +1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) + [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] + +2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective + [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] + +3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies + [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] + +4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals + [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] + +5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks + [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] + +6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective + [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] + +7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches + [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] + +8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection + [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] + +9. Proceed / No Further Actions + [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current game design work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list.

+ +[RequireComponent(typeof(PlayerMovement), typeof(PlayerHealth))] +public class Player : MonoBehaviour +{ + public PlayerMovement Movement { get; private set; } + public PlayerHealth Health { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + Movement = GetComponent(); + Health = GetComponent(); + } +} + +// PlayerHealth.cs - A component responsible only for health logic. +public class PlayerHealth : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private int _maxHealth = 100; + private int _currentHealth; + + private void Awake() + { + _currentHealth = _maxHealth; + } + + public void TakeDamage(int amount) + { + _currentHealth -= amount; + if (_currentHealth <= 0) + { + Die(); + } + } + + private void Die() + { + // Death logic + Debug.Log("Player has died."); + gameObject.SetActive(false); + } +} +``` + +### Data-Driven Design with ScriptableObjects + +**Define Data Containers:** +```csharp +// EnemyData.cs - A ScriptableObject to hold data for an enemy type. +using UnityEngine; + +[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "NewEnemyData", menuName = "Game/Enemy Data")] +public class EnemyData : ScriptableObject +{ + public string enemyName; + public int maxHealth; + public float moveSpeed; + public int damage; + public Sprite sprite; +} + +// Enemy.cs - A MonoBehaviour that uses the EnemyData. +public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private EnemyData _enemyData; + private int _currentHealth; + + private void Start() + { + _currentHealth = _enemyData.maxHealth; + GetComponent().sprite = _enemyData.sprite; + } + + // ... other enemy logic +} +``` + +### System Management + +**Singleton Managers:** +```csharp +// GameManager.cs - A singleton to manage the overall game state. +using UnityEngine; + +public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour +{ + public static GameManager Instance { get; private set; } + + public int Score { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + if (Instance != null && Instance != this) + { + Destroy(gameObject); + return; + } + Instance = this; + DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); // Persist across scenes + } + + public void AddScore(int amount) + { + Score += amount; + } +} +``` + +## Performance Optimization + +### Object Pooling + +**Required for High-Frequency Objects (e.g., bullets, effects):** +```csharp +// ObjectPool.cs - A generic object pooling system. +using UnityEngine; +using System.Collections.Generic; + +public class ObjectPool : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private GameObject _prefabToPool; + [SerializeField] private int _initialPoolSize = 20; + + private Queue _pool = new Queue(); + + private void Start() + { + for (int i = 0; i < _initialPoolSize; i++) + { + GameObject obj = Instantiate(_prefabToPool); + obj.SetActive(false); + _pool.Enqueue(obj); + } + } + + public GameObject GetObjectFromPool() + { + if (_pool.Count > 0) + { + GameObject obj = _pool.Dequeue(); + obj.SetActive(true); + return obj; + } + // Optionally, expand the pool if it's empty. + return Instantiate(_prefabToPool); + } + + public void ReturnObjectToPool(GameObject obj) + { + obj.SetActive(false); + _pool.Enqueue(obj); + } +} +``` + +### Frame Rate Optimization + +**Update Loop Optimization:** +- Avoid expensive calls like `GetComponent`, `FindObjectOfType`, or `Instantiate` inside `Update()` or `FixedUpdate()`. Cache references in `Awake()` or `Start()`. +- Use Coroutines or simple timers for logic that doesn't need to run every single frame. + +**Physics Optimization:** +- Adjust the "Physics 2D Settings" in Project Settings, especially the "Layer Collision Matrix", to prevent unnecessary collision checks. +- Use `Rigidbody2D.Sleep()` for objects that are not moving to save CPU cycles. + +## Input Handling + +### Cross-Platform Input (New Input System) + +**Input Action Asset:** Create an Input Action Asset (`.inputactions`) to define controls. + +**PlayerInput Component:** +- Add the `PlayerInput` component to the player GameObject. +- Set its "Actions" to the created Input Action Asset. +- Set "Behavior" to "Invoke Unity Events" to easily hook up methods in the Inspector, or "Send Messages" to use methods like `OnMove`, `OnFire`. + +```csharp +// PlayerInputHandler.cs - Example of handling input via messages. +using UnityEngine; +using UnityEngine.InputSystem; + +public class PlayerInputHandler : MonoBehaviour +{ + private Vector2 _moveInput; + + // This method is called by the PlayerInput component via "Send Messages". + // The action must be named "Move" in the Input Action Asset. + public void OnMove(InputValue value) + { + _moveInput = value.Get(); + } + + private void Update() + { + // Use _moveInput to control the player + transform.Translate(new Vector3(_moveInput.x, _moveInput.y, 0) * Time.deltaTime * 5f); + } +} +``` + +## Error Handling + +### Graceful Degradation + +**Asset Loading Error Handling:** +- When using Addressables or `Resources.Load`, always check if the loaded asset is null before using it. +```csharp +// Load a sprite and use a fallback if it fails +Sprite playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Player"); +if (playerSprite == null) +{ + Debug.LogError("Player sprite not found! Using default."); + playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Default"); +} +``` + +### Runtime Error Recovery + +**Assertions and Logging:** +- Use `Debug.Assert(condition, "Message")` to check for critical conditions that must be true. +- Use `Debug.LogError("Message")` for fatal errors and `Debug.LogWarning("Message")` for non-critical issues. +```csharp +// Example of using an assertion to ensure a component exists. +private Rigidbody2D _rb; + +void Awake() +{ + _rb = GetComponent(); + Debug.Assert(_rb != null, "Rigidbody2D component not found on player!"); +} +``` + +## Testing Standards + +### Unit Testing (Edit Mode) + +**Game Logic Testing:** +```csharp +// HealthSystemTests.cs - Example test for a simple health system. +using NUnit.Framework; +using UnityEngine; + +public class HealthSystemTests +{ + [Test] + public void TakeDamage_ReducesHealth() + { + // Arrange + var gameObject = new GameObject(); + var healthSystem = gameObject.AddComponent(); + // Note: This is a simplified example.

First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Unity.") + +2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") + +3.

Then present the action list as specified below.]] + +### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List + +[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection.

Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] + +1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) + [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] + +2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective + [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] + +3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies + [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] + +4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals + [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] + +5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks + [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] + +6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective + [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] + +7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches + [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] + +8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection + [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] + +9.

These guidelines ensure consistency, performance, and maintainability across all game development stories. + +## C# Standards + +### Naming Conventions + +**Classes, Structs, Enums, and Interfaces:** +- PascalCase for types: `PlayerController`, `GameData`, `IInteractable` +- Prefix interfaces with 'I': `IDamageable`, `IControllable` +- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `GameStateManager` not `GSM` + +**Methods and Properties:** +- PascalCase for methods and properties: `CalculateScore()`, `CurrentHealth` +- Descriptive verb phrases for methods: `ActivateShield()` not `shield()` + +**Fields and Variables:** +- `private` or `protected` fields: camelCase with an underscore prefix: `_playerHealth`, `_movementSpeed` +- `public` fields (use sparingly, prefer properties): PascalCase: `PlayerName` +- `static` fields: PascalCase: `Instance`, `GameVersion` +- `const` fields: PascalCase: `MaxHitPoints` +- `local` variables: camelCase: `damageAmount`, `isJumping` +- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `_isAlive`, `_hasKey`, `_canJump` + +**Files and Directories:** +- PascalCase for C# script files, matching the primary class name: `PlayerController.cs` +- PascalCase for Scene files: `MainMenu.unity`, `Level01.unity` + +### Style and Formatting + +- **Braces**: Use Allman style (braces on a new line). +- **Spacing**: Use 4 spaces for indentation (no tabs). +- **`using` directives**: Place all `using` directives at the top of the file, outside the namespace. +- **`this` keyword**: Only use `this` when necessary to distinguish between a field and a local variable/parameter. + +## Unity Architecture Patterns + +### Scene Lifecycle Management +**Loading and Transitioning Between Scenes:** +```csharp +// SceneLoader.cs - A singleton for managing scene transitions. +using UnityEngine; +using UnityEngine.SceneManagement; +using System.Collections; + +public class SceneLoader : MonoBehaviour +{ + public static SceneLoader Instance { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + if (Instance != null && Instance != this) + { + Destroy(gameObject); + return; + } + Instance = this; + DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); + } + + public void LoadGameScene() + { + // Example of loading the main game scene, perhaps with a loading screen first. + StartCoroutine(LoadSceneAsync("Level01")); + } + + private IEnumerator LoadSceneAsync(string sceneName) + { + // Load a loading screen first (optional) + SceneManager.LoadScene("LoadingScreen"); + + // Wait a frame for the loading screen to appear + yield return null; + + // Begin loading the target scene in the background + AsyncOperation asyncLoad = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(sceneName); + + // Don't activate the scene until it's fully loaded + asyncLoad.allowSceneActivation = false; + + // Wait until the asynchronous scene fully loads + while (!asyncLoad.isDone) + { + // Here you could update a progress bar with asyncLoad.progress + if (asyncLoad.progress >= 0.9f) + { + // Scene is loaded, allow activation + asyncLoad.allowSceneActivation = true; + } + yield return null; + } + } +} +``` + +### MonoBehaviour Lifecycle +**Understanding Core MonoBehaviour Events:** +```csharp +// Example of a standard MonoBehaviour lifecycle +using UnityEngine; + +public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour +{ + // AWAKE: Called when the script instance is being loaded. + // Use for initialization before the game starts. Good for caching component references. + private void Awake() + { + Debug.Log("PlayerController Awake!"); + } + + // ONENABLE: Called when the object becomes enabled and active. + // Good for subscribing to events. + private void OnEnable() + { + // Example: UIManager.OnGamePaused += HandleGamePaused; + } + + // START: Called on the frame when a script is enabled just before any of the Update methods are called the first time. + // Good for logic that depends on other objects being initialized. + private void Start() + { + Debug.Log("PlayerController Start!"); + } + + // FIXEDUPDATE: Called every fixed framerate frame. + // Use for physics calculations (e.g., applying forces to a Rigidbody). + private void FixedUpdate() + { + // Handle Rigidbody movement here. + } + + // UPDATE: Called every frame. + // Use for most game logic, like handling input and non-physics movement. + private void Update() + { + // Handle input and non-physics movement here. + } + + // LATEUPDATE: Called every frame, after all Update functions have been called. + // Good for camera logic that needs to track a target that moves in Update. + private void LateUpdate() + { + // Camera follow logic here. + } + + // ONDISABLE: Called when the behaviour becomes disabled or inactive. + // Good for unsubscribing from events to prevent memory leaks. + private void OnDisable() + { + // Example: UIManager.OnGamePaused -= HandleGamePaused; + } + + // ONDESTROY: Called when the MonoBehaviour will be destroyed. + // Good for any final cleanup. + private void OnDestroy() + { + Debug.Log("PlayerController Destroyed!"); + } +} +``` + +### Game Object Patterns + +**Component-Based Architecture:** +```csharp +// Player.cs - The main GameObject class, acts as a container for components. +using UnityEngine; + +[RequireComponent(typeof(PlayerMovement), typeof(PlayerHealth))] +public class Player : MonoBehaviour +{ + public PlayerMovement Movement { get; private set; } + public PlayerHealth Health { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + Movement = GetComponent(); + Health = GetComponent(); + } +} + +// PlayerHealth.cs - A component responsible only for health logic. +public class PlayerHealth : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private int _maxHealth = 100; + private int _currentHealth; + + private void Awake() + { + _currentHealth = _maxHealth; + } + + public void TakeDamage(int amount) + { + _currentHealth -= amount; + if (_currentHealth <= 0) + { + Die(); + } + } + + private void Die() + { + // Death logic + Debug.Log("Player has died."); + gameObject.SetActive(false); + } +} +``` + +### Data-Driven Design with ScriptableObjects + +**Define Data Containers:** +```csharp +// EnemyData.cs - A ScriptableObject to hold data for an enemy type. +using UnityEngine; + +[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "NewEnemyData", menuName = "Game/Enemy Data")] +public class EnemyData : ScriptableObject +{ + public string enemyName; + public int maxHealth; + public float moveSpeed; + public int damage; + public Sprite sprite; +} + +// Enemy.cs - A MonoBehaviour that uses the EnemyData. +public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private EnemyData _enemyData; + private int _currentHealth; + + private void Start() + { + _currentHealth = _enemyData.maxHealth; + GetComponent().sprite = _enemyData.sprite; + } + + // ... other enemy logic +} +``` + +### System Management + +**Singleton Managers:** +```csharp +// GameManager.cs - A singleton to manage the overall game state. +using UnityEngine; + +public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour +{ + public static GameManager Instance { get; private set; } + + public int Score { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + if (Instance != null && Instance != this) + { + Destroy(gameObject); + return; + } + Instance = this; + DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); // Persist across scenes + } + + public void AddScore(int amount) + { + Score += amount; + } +} +``` + +## Performance Optimization + +### Object Pooling + +**Required for High-Frequency Objects (e.g., bullets, effects):** +```csharp +// ObjectPool.cs - A generic object pooling system. +using UnityEngine; +using System.Collections.Generic; + +public class ObjectPool : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private GameObject _prefabToPool; + [SerializeField] private int _initialPoolSize = 20; + + private Queue _pool = new Queue(); + + private void Start() + { + for (int i = 0; i < _initialPoolSize; i++) + { + GameObject obj = Instantiate(_prefabToPool); + obj.SetActive(false); + _pool.Enqueue(obj); + } + } + + public GameObject GetObjectFromPool() + { + if (_pool.Count > 0) + { + GameObject obj = _pool.Dequeue(); + obj.SetActive(true); + return obj; + } + // Optionally, expand the pool if it's empty. + return Instantiate(_prefabToPool); + } + + public void ReturnObjectToPool(GameObject obj) + { + obj.SetActive(false); + _pool.Enqueue(obj); + } +} +``` + +### Frame Rate Optimization + +**Update Loop Optimization:** +- Avoid expensive calls like `GetComponent`, `FindObjectOfType`, or `Instantiate` inside `Update()` or `FixedUpdate()`. Cache references in `Awake()` or `Start()`. +- Use Coroutines or simple timers for logic that doesn't need to run every single frame. + +**Physics Optimization:** +- Adjust the "Physics 2D Settings" in Project Settings, especially the "Layer Collision Matrix", to prevent unnecessary collision checks. +- Use `Rigidbody2D.Sleep()` for objects that are not moving to save CPU cycles. + +## Input Handling + +### Cross-Platform Input (New Input System) + +**Input Action Asset:** Create an Input Action Asset (`.inputactions`) to define controls. + +**PlayerInput Component:** +- Add the `PlayerInput` component to the player GameObject. +- Set its "Actions" to the created Input Action Asset. +- Set "Behavior" to "Invoke Unity Events" to easily hook up methods in the Inspector, or "Send Messages" to use methods like `OnMove`, `OnFire`. + +```csharp +// PlayerInputHandler.cs - Example of handling input via messages. +using UnityEngine; +using UnityEngine.InputSystem; + +public class PlayerInputHandler : MonoBehaviour +{ + private Vector2 _moveInput; + + // This method is called by the PlayerInput component via "Send Messages". + // The action must be named "Move" in the Input Action Asset. + public void OnMove(InputValue value) + { + _moveInput = value.Get(); + } + + private void Update() + { + // Use _moveInput to control the player + transform.Translate(new Vector3(_moveInput.x, _moveInput.y, 0) * Time.deltaTime * 5f); + } +} +``` + +## Error Handling + +### Graceful Degradation + +**Asset Loading Error Handling:** +- When using Addressables or `Resources.Load`, always check if the loaded asset is null before using it. +```csharp +// Load a sprite and use a fallback if it fails +Sprite playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Player"); +if (playerSprite == null) +{ + Debug.LogError("Player sprite not found! Using default."); + playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Default"); +} +``` + +### Runtime Error Recovery + +**Assertions and Logging:** +- Use `Debug.Assert(condition, "Message")` to check for critical conditions that must be true. +- Use `Debug.LogError("Message")` for fatal errors and `Debug.LogWarning("Message")` for non-critical issues. +```csharp +// Example of using an assertion to ensure a component exists. +private Rigidbody2D _rb; + +void Awake() +{ + _rb = GetComponent(); + Debug.Assert(_rb != null, "Rigidbody2D component not found on player!"); +} +``` + +## Testing Standards + +### Unit Testing (Edit Mode) + +**Game Logic Testing:** +```csharp +// HealthSystemTests.cs - Example test for a simple health system. +using NUnit.Framework; +using UnityEngine; + +public class HealthSystemTests +{ + [Test] + public void TakeDamage_ReducesHealth() + { + // Arrange + var gameObject = new GameObject(); + var healthSystem = gameObject.AddComponent(); + // Note: This is a simplified example. You might need to mock dependencies. + + // Act + healthSystem.TakeDamage(20); + + // Assert + // This requires making health accessible for testing, e.g., via a public property or method. + // Assert.AreEqual(80, healthSystem.CurrentHealth); + } +} +``` + +### Integration Testing (Play Mode) + +**Scene Testing:** +- Play Mode tests run in a live scene, allowing you to test interactions between multiple components and systems. +- Use `yield return null;` to wait for the next frame. +```csharp +// PlayerJumpTest.cs +using System.Collections; +using NUnit.Framework; +using UnityEngine; +using UnityEngine.TestTools; + +public class PlayerJumpTest +{ + [UnityTest] + public IEnumerator PlayerJumps_WhenSpaceIsPressed() + { + // Arrange + var player = new GameObject().AddComponent(); + var initialY = player.transform.position.y; + + // Act + // Simulate pressing the jump button (requires setting up the input system for tests) + // For simplicity, we'll call a public method here. + // player.Jump(); + + // Wait for a few physics frames + yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f); + + // Assert + Assert.Greater(player.transform.position.y, initialY); + } +} +``` + +## File Organization + +### Project Structure + +``` +Assets/ +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Scenes/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ MainMenu.unity +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Level01.unity +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Scripts/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Core/ +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ GameManager.cs +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ AudioManager.cs +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Player/ +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ PlayerController.cs +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ PlayerHealth.cs +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Editor/ +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ CustomInspectors.cs +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Data/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ EnemyData.cs +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Prefabs/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Player.prefab +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Enemies/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Slime.prefab +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Art/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Sprites/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Animations/ +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Audio/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Music/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ SFX/ +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Data/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ ScriptableObjects/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ EnemyData/ +โ””โ”€โ”€ Tests/ + โ”œโ”€โ”€ EditMode/ + โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ HealthSystemTests.cs + โ””โ”€โ”€ PlayMode/ + โ””โ”€โ”€ PlayerJumpTest.cs +``` + +## Development Workflow + +### Story Implementation Process + +1. **Read Story Requirements:** + + - Understand acceptance criteria + - Identify technical requirements + - Review performance constraints + +2. **Plan Implementation:** + + - Identify files to create/modify + - Consider Unity's component-based architecture + - Plan testing approach + +3. **Implement Feature:** + + - Write clean C# code following all guidelines + - Use established patterns + - Maintain stable FPS performance + +4. **Test Implementation:** + + - Write edit mode tests for game logic + - Write play mode tests for integration testing + - Test cross-platform functionality + - Validate performance targets + +5. **Update Documentation:** + - Mark story checkboxes complete + - Document any deviations + - Update architecture if needed + +### Code Review Checklist + +- [ ] C# code compiles without errors or warnings. +- [ ] All automated tests pass. +- [ ] Code follows naming conventions and architectural patterns. +- [ ] No expensive operations in `Update()` loops. +- [ ] Public fields/methods are documented with comments. +- [ ] New assets are organized into the correct folders. + +## Performance Targets + +### Frame Rate Requirements + +- **PC/Console**: Maintain a stable 60+ FPS. +- **Mobile**: Maintain 60 FPS on mid-range devices, minimum 30 FPS on low-end. +- **Optimization**: Use the Unity Profiler to identify and fix performance drops. + +### Memory Management + +- **Total Memory**: Keep builds under platform-specific limits (e.g., 200MB for a simple mobile game). +- **Garbage Collection**: Minimize GC spikes by avoiding string concatenation, `new` keyword usage in loops, and by pooling objects. + +### Loading Performance + +- **Initial Load**: Under 5 seconds for game start. +- **Scene Transitions**: Under 2 seconds between scenes.

First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Unity.") + +2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") + +3.

Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] + +1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) + [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] + +2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective + [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] + +3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies + [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] + +4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals + [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] + +5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks + [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] + +6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective + [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] + +7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches + [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] + +8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection + [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] + +9.

These guidelines ensure consistency, performance, and maintainability across all game development stories. + +## C# Standards + +### Naming Conventions + +**Classes, Structs, Enums, and Interfaces:** +- PascalCase for types: `PlayerController`, `GameData`, `IInteractable` +- Prefix interfaces with 'I': `IDamageable`, `IControllable` +- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `GameStateManager` not `GSM` + +**Methods and Properties:** +- PascalCase for methods and properties: `CalculateScore()`, `CurrentHealth` +- Descriptive verb phrases for methods: `ActivateShield()` not `shield()` + +**Fields and Variables:** +- `private` or `protected` fields: camelCase with an underscore prefix: `_playerHealth`, `_movementSpeed` +- `public` fields (use sparingly, prefer properties): PascalCase: `PlayerName` +- `static` fields: PascalCase: `Instance`, `GameVersion` +- `const` fields: PascalCase: `MaxHitPoints` +- `local` variables: camelCase: `damageAmount`, `isJumping` +- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `_isAlive`, `_hasKey`, `_canJump` + +**Files and Directories:** +- PascalCase for C# script files, matching the primary class name: `PlayerController.cs` +- PascalCase for Scene files: `MainMenu.unity`, `Level01.unity` + +### Style and Formatting + +- **Braces**: Use Allman style (braces on a new line). +- **Spacing**: Use 4 spaces for indentation (no tabs). +- **`using` directives**: Place all `using` directives at the top of the file, outside the namespace. +- **`this` keyword**: Only use `this` when necessary to distinguish between a field and a local variable/parameter. + +## Unity Architecture Patterns + +### Scene Lifecycle Management +**Loading and Transitioning Between Scenes:** +```csharp +// SceneLoader.cs - A singleton for managing scene transitions. +using UnityEngine; +using UnityEngine.SceneManagement; +using System.Collections; + +public class SceneLoader : MonoBehaviour +{ + public static SceneLoader Instance { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + if (Instance != null && Instance != this) + { + Destroy(gameObject); + return; + } + Instance = this; + DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); + } + + public void LoadGameScene() + { + // Example of loading the main game scene, perhaps with a loading screen first. + StartCoroutine(LoadSceneAsync("Level01")); + } + + private IEnumerator LoadSceneAsync(string sceneName) + { + // Load a loading screen first (optional) + SceneManager.LoadScene("LoadingScreen"); + + // Wait a frame for the loading screen to appear + yield return null; + + // Begin loading the target scene in the background + AsyncOperation asyncLoad = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(sceneName); + + // Don't activate the scene until it's fully loaded + asyncLoad.allowSceneActivation = false; + + // Wait until the asynchronous scene fully loads + while (!asyncLoad.isDone) + { + // Here you could update a progress bar with asyncLoad.progress + if (asyncLoad.progress >= 0.9f) + { + // Scene is loaded, allow activation + asyncLoad.allowSceneActivation = true; + } + yield return null; + } + } +} +``` + +### MonoBehaviour Lifecycle +**Understanding Core MonoBehaviour Events:** +```csharp +// Example of a standard MonoBehaviour lifecycle +using UnityEngine; + +public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour +{ + // AWAKE: Called when the script instance is being loaded. + // Use for initialization before the game starts. Good for caching component references. + private void Awake() + { + Debug.Log("PlayerController Awake!"); + } + + // ONENABLE: Called when the object becomes enabled and active. + // Good for subscribing to events. + private void OnEnable() + { + // Example: UIManager.OnGamePaused += HandleGamePaused; + } + + // START: Called on the frame when a script is enabled just before any of the Update methods are called the first time. + // Good for logic that depends on other objects being initialized. + private void Start() + { + Debug.Log("PlayerController Start!"); + } + + // FIXEDUPDATE: Called every fixed framerate frame. + // Use for physics calculations (e.g., applying forces to a Rigidbody). + private void FixedUpdate() + { + // Handle Rigidbody movement here. + } + + // UPDATE: Called every frame. + // Use for most game logic, like handling input and non-physics movement. + private void Update() + { + // Handle input and non-physics movement here. + } + + // LATEUPDATE: Called every frame, after all Update functions have been called. + // Good for camera logic that needs to track a target that moves in Update. + private void LateUpdate() + { + // Camera follow logic here. + } + + // ONDISABLE: Called when the behaviour becomes disabled or inactive. + // Good for unsubscribing from events to prevent memory leaks. + private void OnDisable() + { + // Example: UIManager.OnGamePaused -= HandleGamePaused; + } + + // ONDESTROY: Called when the MonoBehaviour will be destroyed. + // Good for any final cleanup. + private void OnDestroy() + { + Debug.Log("PlayerController Destroyed!"); + } +} +``` + +### Game Object Patterns + +**Component-Based Architecture:** +```csharp +// Player.cs - The main GameObject class, acts as a container for components. +using UnityEngine; + +[RequireComponent(typeof(PlayerMovement), typeof(PlayerHealth))] +public class Player : MonoBehaviour +{ + public PlayerMovement Movement { get; private set; } + public PlayerHealth Health { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + Movement = GetComponent(); + Health = GetComponent(); + } +} + +// PlayerHealth.cs - A component responsible only for health logic. +public class PlayerHealth : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private int _maxHealth = 100; + private int _currentHealth; + + private void Awake() + { + _currentHealth = _maxHealth; + } + + public void TakeDamage(int amount) + { + _currentHealth -= amount; + if (_currentHealth <= 0) + { + Die(); + } + } + + private void Die() + { + // Death logic + Debug.Log("Player has died."); + gameObject.SetActive(false); + } +} +``` + +### Data-Driven Design with ScriptableObjects + +**Define Data Containers:** +```csharp +// EnemyData.cs - A ScriptableObject to hold data for an enemy type. +using UnityEngine; + +[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "NewEnemyData", menuName = "Game/Enemy Data")] +public class EnemyData : ScriptableObject +{ + public string enemyName; + public int maxHealth; + public float moveSpeed; + public int damage; + public Sprite sprite; +} + +// Enemy.cs - A MonoBehaviour that uses the EnemyData. +public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private EnemyData _enemyData; + private int _currentHealth; + + private void Start() + { + _currentHealth = _enemyData.maxHealth; + GetComponent().sprite = _enemyData.sprite; + } + + // ... other enemy logic +} +``` + +### System Management + +**Singleton Managers:** +```csharp +// GameManager.cs - A singleton to manage the overall game state. +using UnityEngine; + +public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour +{ + public static GameManager Instance { get; private set; } + + public int Score { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + if (Instance != null && Instance != this) + { + Destroy(gameObject); + return; + } + Instance = this; + DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); // Persist across scenes + } + + public void AddScore(int amount) + { + Score += amount; + } +} +``` + +## Performance Optimization + +### Object Pooling + +**Required for High-Frequency Objects (e.g., bullets, effects):** +```csharp +// ObjectPool.cs - A generic object pooling system. +using UnityEngine; +using System.Collections.Generic; + +public class ObjectPool : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private GameObject _prefabToPool; + [SerializeField] private int _initialPoolSize = 20; + + private Queue _pool = new Queue(); + + private void Start() + { + for (int i = 0; i < _initialPoolSize; i++) + { + GameObject obj = Instantiate(_prefabToPool); + obj.SetActive(false); + _pool.Enqueue(obj); + } + } + + public GameObject GetObjectFromPool() + { + if (_pool.Count > 0) + { + GameObject obj = _pool.Dequeue(); + obj.SetActive(true); + return obj; + } + // Optionally, expand the pool if it's empty. + return Instantiate(_prefabToPool); + } + + public void ReturnObjectToPool(GameObject obj) + { + obj.SetActive(false); + _pool.Enqueue(obj); + } +} +``` + +### Frame Rate Optimization + +**Update Loop Optimization:** +- Avoid expensive calls like `GetComponent`, `FindObjectOfType`, or `Instantiate` inside `Update()` or `FixedUpdate()`. Cache references in `Awake()` or `Start()`. +- Use Coroutines or simple timers for logic that doesn't need to run every single frame. + +**Physics Optimization:** +- Adjust the "Physics 2D Settings" in Project Settings, especially the "Layer Collision Matrix", to prevent unnecessary collision checks. +- Use `Rigidbody2D.Sleep()` for objects that are not moving to save CPU cycles. + +## Input Handling + +### Cross-Platform Input (New Input System) + +**Input Action Asset:** Create an Input Action Asset (`.inputactions`) to define controls. + +**PlayerInput Component:** +- Add the `PlayerInput` component to the player GameObject. +- Set its "Actions" to the created Input Action Asset. +- Set "Behavior" to "Invoke Unity Events" to easily hook up methods in the Inspector, or "Send Messages" to use methods like `OnMove`, `OnFire`. + +```csharp +// PlayerInputHandler.cs - Example of handling input via messages. +using UnityEngine; +using UnityEngine.InputSystem; + +public class PlayerInputHandler : MonoBehaviour +{ + private Vector2 _moveInput; + + // This method is called by the PlayerInput component via "Send Messages". + // The action must be named "Move" in the Input Action Asset. + public void OnMove(InputValue value) + { + _moveInput = value.Get(); + } + + private void Update() + { + // Use _moveInput to control the player + transform.Translate(new Vector3(_moveInput.x, _moveInput.y, 0) * Time.deltaTime * 5f); + } +} +``` + +## Error Handling + +### Graceful Degradation + +**Asset Loading Error Handling:** +- When using Addressables or `Resources.Load`, always check if the loaded asset is null before using it. +```csharp +// Load a sprite and use a fallback if it fails +Sprite playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Player"); +if (playerSprite == null) +{ + Debug.LogError("Player sprite not found! Using default."); + playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Default"); +} +``` + +### Runtime Error Recovery + +**Assertions and Logging:** +- Use `Debug.Assert(condition, "Message")` to check for critical conditions that must be true. +- Use `Debug.LogError("Message")` for fatal errors and `Debug.LogWarning("Message")` for non-critical issues. +```csharp +// Example of using an assertion to ensure a component exists. +private Rigidbody2D _rb; + +void Awake() +{ + _rb = GetComponent(); + Debug.Assert(_rb != null, "Rigidbody2D component not found on player!"); +} +``` + +## Testing Standards + +### Unit Testing (Edit Mode) + +**Game Logic Testing:** +```csharp +// HealthSystemTests.cs - Example test for a simple health system. +using NUnit.Framework; +using UnityEngine; + +public class HealthSystemTests +{ + [Test] + public void TakeDamage_ReducesHealth() + { + // Arrange + var gameObject = new GameObject(); + var healthSystem = gameObject.AddComponent(); + // Note: This is a simplified example. You might need to mock dependencies. + + // Act + healthSystem.TakeDamage(20); + + // Assert + // This requires making health accessible for testing, e.g., via a public property or method. + // Assert.AreEqual(80, healthSystem.CurrentHealth); + } +} +``` + +### Integration Testing (Play Mode) + +**Scene Testing:** +- Play Mode tests run in a live scene, allowing you to test interactions between multiple components and systems. +- Use `yield return null;` to wait for the next frame. +```csharp +// PlayerJumpTest.cs +using System.Collections; +using NUnit.Framework; +using UnityEngine; +using UnityEngine.TestTools; + +public class PlayerJumpTest +{ + [UnityTest] + public IEnumerator PlayerJumps_WhenSpaceIsPressed() + { + // Arrange + var player = new GameObject().AddComponent(); + var initialY = player.transform.position.y; + + // Act + // Simulate pressing the jump button (requires setting up the input system for tests) + // For simplicity, we'll call a public method here. + // player.Jump(); + + // Wait for a few physics frames + yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f); + + // Assert + Assert.Greater(player.transform.position.y, initialY); + } +} +``` + +## File Organization + +### Project Structure + +``` +Assets/ +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Scenes/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ MainMenu.unity +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Level01.unity +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Scripts/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Core/ +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ GameManager.cs +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ AudioManager.cs +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Player/ +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ PlayerController.cs +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ PlayerHealth.cs +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Editor/ +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ CustomInspectors.cs +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Data/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ EnemyData.cs +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Prefabs/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Player.prefab +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Enemies/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Slime.prefab +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Art/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Sprites/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Animations/ +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Audio/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Music/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ SFX/ +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Data/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ ScriptableObjects/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ EnemyData/ +โ””โ”€โ”€ Tests/ + โ”œโ”€โ”€ EditMode/ + โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ HealthSystemTests.cs + โ””โ”€โ”€ PlayMode/ + โ””โ”€โ”€ PlayerJumpTest.cs +``` + +## Development Workflow + +### Story Implementation Process + +1. **Read Story Requirements:** + + - Understand acceptance criteria + - Identify technical requirements + - Review performance constraints + +2. **Plan Implementation:** + + - Identify files to create/modify + - Consider Unity's component-based architecture + - Plan testing approach + +3. **Implement Feature:** + + - Write clean C# code following all guidelines + - Use established patterns + - Maintain stable FPS performance + +4. **Test Implementation:** + + - Write edit mode tests for game logic + - Write play mode tests for integration testing + - Test cross-platform functionality + - Validate performance targets + +5. **Update Documentation:** + - Mark story checkboxes complete + - Document any deviations + - Update architecture if needed + +### Code Review Checklist + +- [ ] C# code compiles without errors or warnings. +- [ ] All automated tests pass. +- [ ] Code follows naming conventions and architectural patterns. +- [ ] No expensive operations in `Update()` loops. +- [ ] Public fields/methods are documented with comments. +- [ ] New assets are organized into the correct folders. + +## Performance Targets + +### Frame Rate Requirements + +- **PC/Console**: Maintain a stable 60+ FPS. +- **Mobile**: Maintain 60 FPS on mid-range devices, minimum 30 FPS on low-end. +- **Optimization**: Use the Unity Profiler to identify and fix performance drops. + +### Memory Management + +- **Total Memory**: Keep builds under platform-specific limits (e.g., 200MB for a simple mobile game). +- **Garbage Collection**: Minimize GC spikes by avoiding string concatenation, `new` keyword usage in loops, and by pooling objects. + +### Loading Performance + +- **Initial Load**: Under 5 seconds for game start. +- **Scene Transitions**: Under 2 seconds between scenes.

Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) + +- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) +- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies +- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use +- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context + +#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) + +- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes +- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) +- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments + +#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) + +- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types +- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development +- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions + +#### 4. Reusable Resources + +- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories +- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" +- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review +- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences + +### Dual Environment Architecture + +#### IDE Environment + +- Users interact directly with agent markdown files +- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically +- Supports real-time file operations and project integration +- Optimized for development workflow execution + +#### Web UI Environment + +- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent +- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team +- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces +- Provides complete context in one package + +### Template Processing System + +BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: + +1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates +2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output +3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming + +### Technical Preferences Integration + +The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: + +- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects +- Eliminates repetitive technology specification +- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences +- Evolves over time with lessons learned + +### Build and Delivery Process + +The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: + +1. Reading agent or team definition files +2. Recursively resolving all dependencies +3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators +4.

Especially Gemini!) + +**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** + +**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: + +1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis + +**For All Projects**: + +1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis +2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) +3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements +4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation +5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency +6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` + +#### Example Planning Prompts + +**For PRD Creation**: + +```text +"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. +Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." +``` + +**For Architecture Design**: + +```text +"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture +that can handle [specific requirements]." +``` + +### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE + +**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** + +- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding +- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks +- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project + +### IDE Development Workflow + +**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder + +1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): + -

Story Creation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ Select powerful model โ†’ `@sm` โ†’ `*create` + - SM executes create-next-story task + - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` + - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" + + **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@dev` + - Agent asks which story to implement + - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time + - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion + - Dev maintains File List of all changes + - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing + + **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@qa` โ†’ execute review-story task + - QA performs senior developer code review + - QA can refactor and improve code directly + - QA appends results to story's QA Results section + - If approved: Status โ†’ "Done" + - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev + + **Step 4 -

To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: + +1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. + +2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? + +3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: + - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' + - 'Refactoring the authentication module' + - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' + +4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) + +Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." + +Based on their response: + +- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation +- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below + +Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project.

(junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) +- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) + +### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis + +CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: + +1. **Explore Key Areas**: + - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) + - Configuration files and environment setup + - Package dependencies and versions + - Build and deployment configurations + - Test suites and coverage + +2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: + - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" + - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" + - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" + - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" + - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" + +3. **Map the Reality**: + - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) + - Find where key business logic lives + - Locate integration points and external dependencies + - Document workarounds and technical debt + - Note areas that differ from standard patterns + +**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement + +### 3.

Initial Setup & Mode Selection + +- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** + - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. + - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. + - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `.bmad-core/checklists/change-checklist`. +- **Establish Interaction Mode:** + - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: + - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the change-checklist section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." + - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." + - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode and then inform the user: "We will now use the change-checklist to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." + +### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) + +- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the change-checklist (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). +- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): + - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. + - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. + - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. + - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. + - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. + +### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) + +- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): + - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). + - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: + - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. + - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. + - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). + - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. + - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). + - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. + - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. + +### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits + +- Synthesize the complete change-checklist analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the change-checklist. +- The proposal must clearly present: + - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. + - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). +- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. + +### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps + +- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. +- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. +- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** + - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. + - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. + +## Output Deliverables + +- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: + - A summary of the change-checklist analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). + - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. +- **Implicit:** An annotated change-checklist (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/correct-course.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/brownfield-create-epic.md ==================== +# Create Brownfield Epic Task + +## Purpose + +Create a single epic for smaller brownfield enhancements that don't require the full PRD and Architecture documentation process.

Core Prompting Principles + +Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code. + +- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. +- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. +- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. +- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. + +### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework + +To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. + +1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. + - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ +2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. + - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ +3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. + - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ +4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. + - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ + +### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt + +You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. + +1. **Gather Foundational Context**: + - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. +2. **Describe the Visuals**: + - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. + - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). +3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: + - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. +4. **Present and Refine**: + - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). + - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. + - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/generate-ai-frontend-prompt.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/templates/front-end-spec-tmpl.yaml ==================== +template: + id: frontend-spec-template-v2 + name: UI/UX Specification + version: 2.0 + output: + format: markdown + filename: docs/front-end-spec.md + title: "{{project_name}} UI/UX Specification" + +workflow: + mode: interactive + elicitation: advanced-elicitation + +sections: + - id: introduction + title: Introduction + instruction: | + Review provided documents including Project Brief, PRD, and any user research to gather context.

This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). + +### Key Architectural Components + +#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) + +- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) +- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies +- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use +- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context + +#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) + +- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes +- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) +- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments + +#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) + +- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types +- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development +- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions + +#### 4. Reusable Resources + +- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories +- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" +- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review +- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences + +### Dual Environment Architecture + +#### IDE Environment + +- Users interact directly with agent markdown files +- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically +- Supports real-time file operations and project integration +- Optimized for development workflow execution + +#### Web UI Environment + +- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent +- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team +- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces +- Provides complete context in one package + +### Template Processing System + +BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: + +1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates +2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output +3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming + +### Technical Preferences Integration + +The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: + +- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects +- Eliminates repetitive technology specification +- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences +- Evolves over time with lessons learned + +### Build and Delivery Process + +The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: + +1. Reading agent or team definition files +2. Recursively resolving all dependencies +3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators +4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces + +This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. + +## Complete Development Workflow + +### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) + +**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** + +**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: + +1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis + +**For All Projects**: + +1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis +2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) +3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements +4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation +5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency +6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` + +#### Example Planning Prompts + +**For PRD Creation**: + +```text +"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. +Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." +``` + +**For Architecture Design**: + +```text +"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture +that can handle [specific requirements]." +``` + +### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE + +**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** + +- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding +- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks +- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project + +### IDE Development Workflow + +**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder + +1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): + - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development + - Two methods to shard: + a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat + b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents + - Shards `docs/prd.md` โ†’ `docs/prd/` folder + - Shards `docs/architecture.md` โ†’ `docs/architecture/` folder + - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! + +2. **Verify Sharded Content**: + - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order + - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference + - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation + +Resulting Folder Structure: + +- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections +- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections +- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories + +1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): + + **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: + - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows + - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation + - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** + + **Step 1 - Story Creation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ Select powerful model โ†’ `@sm` โ†’ `*create` + - SM executes create-next-story task + - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` + - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" + + **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@dev` + - Agent asks which story to implement + - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time + - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion + - Dev maintains File List of all changes + - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing + + **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@qa` โ†’ execute review-story task + - QA performs senior developer code review + - QA can refactor and improve code directly + - QA appends results to story's QA Results section + - If approved: Status โ†’ "Done" + - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev + + **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM โ†’ Dev โ†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete + +**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. + +### Status Tracking Workflow + +Stories progress through defined statuses: + +- **Draft** โ†’ **Approved** โ†’ **InProgress** โ†’ **Done** + +Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. + +### Workflow Types + +#### Greenfield Development + +- Business analysis and market research +- Product requirements and feature definition +- System architecture and design +- Development execution +- Testing and deployment + +#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) + +**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. + +**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: + +**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` +3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` + - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided + - Choose "single document" format for Web UI + - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas + - Creates one comprehensive markdown file + - Avoids bloating docs with unused code + +**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** +2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` + - More thorough but can create excessive documentation + +4. **Requirements Gathering**: + - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` + - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points + - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment + - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes + +5. **Architecture Planning**: + - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` + -

This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase. + +## Task Instructions + +### 1. Initial Project Analysis + +**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. + +**IF PRD EXISTS**: + +- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned +- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected +- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas +- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean + +**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: +Ask the user: + +"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: + +1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. + +2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? + +3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: + - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' + - 'Refactoring the authentication module' + - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' + +4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) + +Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." + +Based on their response: + +- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation +- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below + +Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: + +1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization +2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies +3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands +4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation +5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches + +Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: + +- What is the primary purpose of this project? +- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? +- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) +- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? +- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) +- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) + +### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis + +CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: + +1. **Explore Key Areas**: + - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) + - Configuration files and environment setup + - Package dependencies and versions + - Build and deployment configurations + - Test suites and coverage + +2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: + - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" + - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" + - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" + - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" + - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" + +3. **Map the Reality**: + - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) + - Find where key business logic lives + - Locate integration points and external dependencies + - Document workarounds and technical debt + - Note areas that differ from standard patterns + +**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement + +### 3.

Initial Setup & Mode Selection + +- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** + - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. + - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. + - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `.bmad-core/checklists/change-checklist`. +- **Establish Interaction Mode:** + - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: + - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the change-checklist section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." + - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." + - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode and then inform the user: "We will now use the change-checklist to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." + +### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) + +- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the change-checklist (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). +- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): + - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. + - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. + - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. + - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. + - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. + +### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) + +- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): + - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). + - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: + - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. + - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. + - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). + - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. + - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). + - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. + - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. + +### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits + +- Synthesize the complete change-checklist analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the change-checklist. +- The proposal must clearly present: + - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. + - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). +- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. + +### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps + +- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. +- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. +- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** + - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. + - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. + +## Output Deliverables + +- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: + - A summary of the change-checklist analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). + - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. +- **Implicit:** An annotated change-checklist (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/correct-course.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/brownfield-create-epic.md ==================== +# Create Brownfield Epic Task + +## Purpose + +Create a single epic for smaller brownfield enhancements that don't require the full PRD and Architecture documentation process.

Core Prompting Principles + +Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code. + +- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. +- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. +- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. +- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. + +### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework + +To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. + +1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. + - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ +2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. + - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ +3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. + - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ +4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. + - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ + +### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt + +You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. + +1. **Gather Foundational Context**: + - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. +2. **Describe the Visuals**: + - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. + - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). +3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: + - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. +4. **Present and Refine**: + - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). + - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. + - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/generate-ai-frontend-prompt.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/templates/front-end-spec-tmpl.yaml ==================== +template: + id: frontend-spec-template-v2 + name: UI/UX Specification + version: 2.0 + output: + format: markdown + filename: docs/front-end-spec.md + title: "{{project_name}} UI/UX Specification" + +workflow: + mode: interactive + elicitation: advanced-elicitation + +sections: + - id: introduction + title: Introduction + instruction: | + Review provided documents including Project Brief, PRD, and any user research to gather context.

This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). + +### Key Architectural Components + +#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) + +- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) +- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies +- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use +- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context + +#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) + +- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes +- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) +- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments + +#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) + +- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types +- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development +- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions + +#### 4. Reusable Resources + +- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories +- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" +- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review +- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences + +### Dual Environment Architecture + +#### IDE Environment + +- Users interact directly with agent markdown files +- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically +- Supports real-time file operations and project integration +- Optimized for development workflow execution + +#### Web UI Environment + +- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent +- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team +- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces +- Provides complete context in one package + +### Template Processing System + +BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: + +1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates +2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output +3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming + +### Technical Preferences Integration + +The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: + +- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects +- Eliminates repetitive technology specification +- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences +- Evolves over time with lessons learned + +### Build and Delivery Process + +The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: + +1. Reading agent or team definition files +2. Recursively resolving all dependencies +3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators +4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces + +This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. + +## Complete Development Workflow + +### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) + +**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** + +**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: + +1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis + +**For All Projects**: + +1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis +2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) +3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements +4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation +5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency +6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` + +#### Example Planning Prompts + +**For PRD Creation**: + +```text +"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. +Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." +``` + +**For Architecture Design**: + +```text +"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture +that can handle [specific requirements]." +``` + +### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE + +**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** + +- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding +- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks +- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project + +### IDE Development Workflow + +**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder + +1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): + - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development + - Two methods to shard: + a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat + b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents + - Shards `docs/prd.md` โ†’ `docs/prd/` folder + - Shards `docs/architecture.md` โ†’ `docs/architecture/` folder + - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! + +2. **Verify Sharded Content**: + - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order + - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference + - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation + +Resulting Folder Structure: + +- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections +- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections +- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories + +1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): + + **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: + - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows + - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation + - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** + + **Step 1 - Story Creation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ Select powerful model โ†’ `@sm` โ†’ `*create` + - SM executes create-next-story task + - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` + - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" + + **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@dev` + - Agent asks which story to implement + - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time + - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion + - Dev maintains File List of all changes + - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing + + **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@qa` โ†’ execute review-story task + - QA performs senior developer code review + - QA can refactor and improve code directly + - QA appends results to story's QA Results section + - If approved: Status โ†’ "Done" + - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev + + **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM โ†’ Dev โ†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete + +**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. + +### Status Tracking Workflow + +Stories progress through defined statuses: + +- **Draft** โ†’ **Approved** โ†’ **InProgress** โ†’ **Done** + +Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. + +### Workflow Types + +#### Greenfield Development + +- Business analysis and market research +- Product requirements and feature definition +- System architecture and design +- Development execution +- Testing and deployment + +#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) + +**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. + +**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: + +**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` +3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` + - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided + - Choose "single document" format for Web UI + - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas + - Creates one comprehensive markdown file + - Avoids bloating docs with unused code + +**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** +2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` + - More thorough but can create excessive documentation + +4. **Requirements Gathering**: + - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` + - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points + -

Finalize & Determine Next Steps + +- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. +- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. +- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** + - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. + - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. + +## Output Deliverables + +- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format).

Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) + +- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) +- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies +- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use +- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context + +#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) + +- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes +- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) +- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments + +#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) + +- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types +- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development +- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions + +#### 4. Reusable Resources + +- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories +- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" +- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review +- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences + +### Dual Environment Architecture + +#### IDE Environment + +- Users interact directly with agent markdown files +- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically +- Supports real-time file operations and project integration +- Optimized for development workflow execution + +#### Web UI Environment + +- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent +- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team +- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces +- Provides complete context in one package + +### Template Processing System + +BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: + +1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates +2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output +3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming + +### Technical Preferences Integration + +The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: + +- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects +- Eliminates repetitive technology specification +- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences +- Evolves over time with lessons learned + +### Build and Delivery Process + +The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: + +1. Reading agent or team definition files +2. Recursively resolving all dependencies +3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators +4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces + +This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. + +## Complete Development Workflow + +### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) + +**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** + +**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: + +1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis + +**For All Projects**: + +1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis +2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) +3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements +4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation +5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency +6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` + +#### Example Planning Prompts + +**For PRD Creation**: + +```text +"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. +Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." +``` + +**For Architecture Design**: + +```text +"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture +that can handle [specific requirements]." +``` + +### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE + +**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** + +- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding +- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks +- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project + +### IDE Development Workflow + +**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder + +1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): + - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development + - Two methods to shard: + a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat + b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents + - Shards `docs/prd.md` โ†’ `docs/prd/` folder + - Shards `docs/architecture.md` โ†’ `docs/architecture/` folder + - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! + +2. **Verify Sharded Content**: + - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order + - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference + - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation + +Resulting Folder Structure: + +- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections +- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections +- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories + +1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): + + **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: + - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows + - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation + - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** + + **Step 1 - Story Creation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ Select powerful model โ†’ `@sm` โ†’ `*create` + - SM executes create-next-story task + - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` + - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" + + **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@dev` + - Agent asks which story to implement + - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time + - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion + - Dev maintains File List of all changes + - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing + + **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@qa` โ†’ execute review-story task + - QA performs senior developer code review + - QA can refactor and improve code directly + - QA appends results to story's QA Results section + - If approved: Status โ†’ "Done" + - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev + + **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM โ†’ Dev โ†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete + +**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. + +### Status Tracking Workflow + +Stories progress through defined statuses: + +- **Draft** โ†’ **Approved** โ†’ **InProgress** โ†’ **Done** + +Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. + +### Workflow Types + +#### Greenfield Development + +- Business analysis and market research +- Product requirements and feature definition +- System architecture and design +- Development execution +- Testing and deployment + +#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) + +**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. + +**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: + +**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` +3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` + - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided + - Choose "single document" format for Web UI + - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas + - Creates one comprehensive markdown file + - Avoids bloating docs with unused code + +**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** +2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` + - More thorough but can create excessive documentation + +4. **Requirements Gathering**: + - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` + - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points + -

This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase. + +## Task Instructions + +### 1. Initial Project Analysis + +**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. + +**IF PRD EXISTS**: + +- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned +- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected +- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas +- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean + +**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: +Ask the user: + +"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: + +1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. + +2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? + +3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: + - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' + - 'Refactoring the authentication module' + - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' + +4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) + +Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." + +Based on their response: + +- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation +- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below + +Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: + +1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization +2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies +3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands +4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation +5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches + +Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: + +- What is the primary purpose of this project? +- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? +- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) +- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? +- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) +- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) + +### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis + +CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: + +1. **Explore Key Areas**: + - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) + - Configuration files and environment setup + - Package dependencies and versions + - Build and deployment configurations + - Test suites and coverage + +2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: + - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" + - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" + - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" + - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" + - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" + +3. **Map the Reality**: + - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) + - Find where key business logic lives + - Locate integration points and external dependencies + - Document workarounds and technical debt + - Note areas that differ from standard patterns + +**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement + +### 3. Core Documentation Generation + +[[LLM: Generate a comprehensive BROWNFIELD architecture document that reflects the ACTUAL state of the codebase. + +**CRITICAL**: This is NOT an aspirational architecture document.

Initial Setup & Mode Selection + +- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** + - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. + - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. + - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `.bmad-core/checklists/change-checklist`. +- **Establish Interaction Mode:** + - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: + - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the change-checklist section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." + - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." + - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode and then inform the user: "We will now use the change-checklist to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." + +### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) + +- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the change-checklist (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). +- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): + - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. + - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. + - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. + - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. + - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. + +### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) + +- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): + - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). + - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: + - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. + - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. + - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). + - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. + - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). + - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. + - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. + +### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits + +- Synthesize the complete change-checklist analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the change-checklist. +- The proposal must clearly present: + - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. + - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). +- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. + +### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps + +- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. +- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. +- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** + - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. + - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. + +## Output Deliverables + +- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: + - A summary of the change-checklist analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). + - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. +- **Implicit:** An annotated change-checklist (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/correct-course.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/brownfield-create-epic.md ==================== +# Create Brownfield Epic Task + +## Purpose + +Create a single epic for smaller brownfield enhancements that don't require the full PRD and Architecture documentation process.

This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase. + +## Task Instructions + +### 1. Initial Project Analysis + +**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. + +**IF PRD EXISTS**: + +- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned +- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected +- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas +- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean + +**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: +Ask the user: + +"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: + +1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. + +2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? + +3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: + - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' + - 'Refactoring the authentication module' + - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' + +4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) + +Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." + +Based on their response: + +- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation +- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below + +Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: + +1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization +2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies +3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands +4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation +5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches + +Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: + +- What is the primary purpose of this project? +- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? +- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) +- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? +- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) +- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) + +### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis + +CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: + +1. **Explore Key Areas**: + - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) + - Configuration files and environment setup + - Package dependencies and versions + - Build and deployment configurations + - Test suites and coverage + +2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: + - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" + - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" + - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" + - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" + - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" + +3. **Map the Reality**: + - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) + - Find where key business logic lives + - Locate integration points and external dependencies + - Document workarounds and technical debt + - Note areas that differ from standard patterns + +**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement + +### 3.

The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments. + +### Key Features + +- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role +- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization +- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs +- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists +- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control + +### When to Use BMad + +- **New Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end development +- **Existing Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions and enhancements +- **Team Collaboration**: Multiple roles working together +- **Quality Assurance**: Structured testing and validation +- **Documentation**: Professional PRDs, architecture docs, user stories + +## How BMad Works + +### The Core Method + +BMad transforms you into a "Vibe CEO" - directing a team of specialized AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how: + +1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide vision and decisions; agents handle implementation details +2. **Specialized Agents**: Each agent masters one role (PM, Developer, Architect, etc.) +3. **Structured Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from idea to deployed code +4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective + +### The Two-Phase Approach + +#### Phase 1: Planning (Web UI - Cost Effective) + +- Use large context windows (Gemini's 1M tokens) +- Generate comprehensive documents (PRD, Architecture) +- Leverage multiple agents for brainstorming +- Create once, use throughout development + +#### Phase 2: Development (IDE - Implementation) + +- Shard documents into manageable pieces +- Execute focused SM โ†’ Dev cycles +- One story at a time, sequential progress +- Real-time file operations and testing + +### The Development Loop + +```text +1. SM Agent (New Chat) โ†’ Creates next story from sharded docs +2. You โ†’ Review and approve story +3. Dev Agent (New Chat) โ†’ Implements approved story +4. QA Agent (New Chat) โ†’ Reviews and refactors code +5. You โ†’ Verify completion +6. Repeat until epic complete +``` + +### Why This Works + +- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance +- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality +- **Incremental Progress**: Small stories = manageable complexity +- **Human Oversight**: You validate each step = quality control +- **Document-Driven**: Specs guide everything = consistency + +## Getting Started + +### Quick Start Options + +#### Option 1: Web UI + +**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately + +1. Navigate to `dist/teams/` +2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content +3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT +4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed" +5. Type `/help` to see available commands + +#### Option 2: IDE Integration + +**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Trae, Cline, Roo Code, Github Copilot users + +```bash +# Interactive installation (recommended) +npx bmad-method install +``` + +**Installation Steps**: + +- Choose "Complete installation" +- Select your IDE from supported options: + - **Cursor**: Native AI integration + - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE + - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities + - **Trae**: Built-in AI capabilities + - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features + - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support + - **GitHub Copilot**: VS Code extension with AI peer programming assistant + +**Note for VS Code Users**: BMad-Method assumes when you mention "VS Code" that you're using it with an AI-powered extension like GitHub Copilot, Cline, or Roo. Standard VS Code without AI capabilities cannot run BMad agents. The installer includes built-in support for Cline and Roo. + +**Verify Installation**: + +- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents +- IDE-specific integration files created +- All agent commands/rules/modes available + +**Remember**: At its core, BMad-Method is about mastering and harnessing prompt engineering. Any IDE with AI agent support can use BMad - the framework provides the structured prompts and workflows that make AI development effective + +### Environment Selection Guide + +**Use Web UI for**: + +- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture) +- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini) +- Brainstorming and analysis phases +- Multi-agent consultation and planning + +**Use IDE for**: + +- Active development and coding +- File operations and project integration +- Document sharding and story management +- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles) + +**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development. + +### IDE-Only Workflow Considerations + +**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs: + +**Pros of IDE-Only**: + +- Single environment workflow +- Direct file operations from start +- No copy/paste between environments +- Immediate project integration + +**Cons of IDE-Only**: + +- Higher token costs for large document creation +- Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model) +- May hit limits during planning phases +- Less cost-effective for brainstorming + +**Using Web Agents in IDE**: + +- **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts +- **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context +- **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization + +**About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**: + +- **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT... +- **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results +- **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs +- **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but... + +**CRITICAL RULE for Development**: + +- **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master or bmad-orchestrator +- **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master or bmad-orchestrator +- **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow +- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM โ†’ Dev for implementation + +**Best Practice for IDE-Only**: + +1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master) +2. Create documents directly in project +3. Shard immediately after creation +4. **MUST switch to SM agent** for story creation +5. **MUST switch to Dev agent** for implementation +6. Keep planning and coding in separate chat sessions + +## Core Configuration (core-config.yaml) + +**New in V4**: The `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMad to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility. + +### What is core-config.yaml? + +This configuration file acts as a map for BMad agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables: + +- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures +- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live +- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load +- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting + +### Key Configuration Areas + +#### PRD Configuration + +- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions +- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true) +- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files +- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`) + +#### Architecture Configuration + +- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded) +- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components +- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live + +#### Developer Files + +- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task +- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures +- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations + +### Why It Matters + +1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure +2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace +3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMad to match your team's process +4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration + +### Common Configurations + +**Legacy V3 Project**: + +```yaml +prdVersion: v3 +prdSharded: false +architectureVersion: v3 +architectureSharded: false +``` + +**V4 Optimized Project**: + +```yaml +prdVersion: v4 +prdSharded: true +prdShardedLocation: docs/prd +architectureVersion: v4 +architectureSharded: true +architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture +``` + +## Core Philosophy + +### Vibe CEO'ing + +You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision.

This is not a linear process. +5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs. +6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs. +7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand. +8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges. + +### Key Workflow Principles + +1. **Agent Specialization**: Each agent has specific expertise and responsibilities +2. **Clean Handoffs**: Always start fresh when switching between agents +3. **Status Tracking**: Maintain story statuses (Draft โ†’ Approved โ†’ InProgress โ†’ Done) +4. **Iterative Development**: Complete one story before starting the next +5. **Documentation First**: Always start with solid PRD and architecture + +## Agent System + +### Core Development Team + +| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | +| ----------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | +| `analyst` | Business Analyst | Market research, requirements gathering | Project planning, competitive analysis | +| `pm` | Product Manager | PRD creation, feature prioritization | Strategic planning, roadmaps | +| `architect` | Solution Architect | System design, technical architecture | Complex systems, scalability planning | +| `dev` | Developer | Code implementation, debugging | All development tasks | +| `qa` | QA Specialist | Test planning, quality assurance | Testing strategies, bug validation | +| `ux-expert` | UX Designer | UI/UX design, prototypes | User experience, interface design | +| `po` | Product Owner | Backlog management, story validation | Story refinement, acceptance criteria | +| `sm` | Scrum Master | Sprint planning, story creation | Project management, workflow | + +### Meta Agents + +| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | +| ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | +| `bmad-orchestrator` | Team Coordinator | Multi-agent workflows, role switching | Complex multi-role tasks | +| `bmad-master` | Universal Expert | All capabilities without switching | Single-session comprehensive work | + +### Agent Interaction Commands + +#### IDE-Specific Syntax + +**Agent Loading by IDE**: + +- **Claude Code**: `/agent-name` (e.g., `/bmad-master`) +- **Cursor**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) +- **Windsurf**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) +- **Trae**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) +- **Roo Code**: Select mode from mode selector (e.g., `bmad-master`) +- **GitHub Copilot**: Open the Chat view (`โŒƒโŒ˜I` on Mac, `Ctrl+Alt+I` on Windows/Linux) and select **Agent** from the chat mode selector. + +**Chat Management Guidelines**: + +- **Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Trae**: Start new chats when switching agents +- **Roo Code**: Switch modes within the same conversation + +**Common Task Commands**: + +- `*help` - Show available commands +- `*status` - Show current context/progress +- `*exit` - Exit the agent mode +- `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd` - Shard PRD into manageable pieces +- `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture` - Shard architecture document +- `*create` - Run create-next-story task (SM agent) + +**In Web UI**: + +```text +/pm create-doc prd +/architect review system design +/dev implement story 1.2 +/help - Show available commands +/switch agent-name - Change active agent (if orchestrator available) +``` + +## Team Configurations + +### Pre-Built Teams + +#### Team All + +- **Includes**: All 10 agents + orchestrator +- **Use Case**: Complete projects requiring all roles +- **Bundle**: `team-all.txt` + +#### Team Fullstack + +- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA, UX Expert +- **Use Case**: End-to-end web/mobile development +- **Bundle**: `team-fullstack.txt` + +#### Team No-UI + +- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA (no UX Expert) +- **Use Case**: Backend services, APIs, system development +- **Bundle**: `team-no-ui.txt` + +## Core Architecture + +### System Overview + +The BMad-Method is built around a modular architecture centered on the `bmad-core` directory, which serves as the brain of the entire system. This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). + +### Key Architectural Components + +#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) + +- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) +- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies +- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use +- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context + +#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) + +- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes +- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) +- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments + +#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) + +- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types +- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development +- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions + +#### 4. Reusable Resources + +- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories +- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" +- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review +- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences + +### Dual Environment Architecture + +#### IDE Environment + +- Users interact directly with agent markdown files +- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically +- Supports real-time file operations and project integration +- Optimized for development workflow execution + +#### Web UI Environment + +- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent +- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team +- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces +- Provides complete context in one package + +### Template Processing System + +BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: + +1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates +2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output +3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming + +### Technical Preferences Integration + +The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: + +- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects +- Eliminates repetitive technology specification +- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences +- Evolves over time with lessons learned + +### Build and Delivery Process + +The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: + +1.

Market research, competitive analysis +2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) +3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements +4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation +5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency +6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` + +#### Example Planning Prompts + +**For PRD Creation**: + +```text +"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. +Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." +``` + +**For Architecture Design**: + +```text +"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture +that can handle [specific requirements]." +``` + +### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE + +**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** + +- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding +- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks +- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project + +### IDE Development Workflow + +**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder + +1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): + - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development + - Two methods to shard: + a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat + b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents + - Shards `docs/prd.md` โ†’ `docs/prd/` folder + - Shards `docs/architecture.md` โ†’ `docs/architecture/` folder + - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! + +2. **Verify Sharded Content**: + - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order + - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference + - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation + +Resulting Folder Structure: + +- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections +- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections +- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories + +1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): + + **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: + - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows + - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation + - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** + + **Step 1 - Story Creation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ Select powerful model โ†’ `@sm` โ†’ `*create` + - SM executes create-next-story task + - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` + - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" + + **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@dev` + - Agent asks which story to implement + - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time + - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion + - Dev maintains File List of all changes + - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing + + **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@qa` โ†’ execute review-story task + - QA performs senior developer code review + - QA can refactor and improve code directly + - QA appends results to story's QA Results section + - If approved: Status โ†’ "Done" + - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev + + **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM โ†’ Dev โ†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete + +**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. + +### Status Tracking Workflow + +Stories progress through defined statuses: + +- **Draft** โ†’ **Approved** โ†’ **InProgress** โ†’ **Done** + +Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. + +### Workflow Types + +#### Greenfield Development + +- Business analysis and market research +- Product requirements and feature definition +- System architecture and design +- Development execution +- Testing and deployment + +#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) + +**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. + +**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: + +**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` +3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` + -

Initial Setup & Mode Selection + +- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** + - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. + - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. + - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `.bmad-core/checklists/change-checklist`. +- **Establish Interaction Mode:** + - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: + - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the change-checklist section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." + - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." + - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode and then inform the user: "We will now use the change-checklist to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." + +### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) + +- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the change-checklist (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). +- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): + - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. + - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. + - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. + - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. + - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. + +### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) + +- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): + - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). + - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: + - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. + - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. + - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). + - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. + - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). + - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. + - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. + +### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits + +- Synthesize the complete change-checklist analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the change-checklist. +- The proposal must clearly present: + - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. + - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). +- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. + +### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps + +- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. +- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. +- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** + - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. + - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. + +## Output Deliverables + +- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: + - A summary of the change-checklist analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). + - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. +- **Implicit:** An annotated change-checklist (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/correct-course.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/create-deep-research-prompt.md ==================== +# Create Deep Research Prompt Task + +This task helps create comprehensive research prompts for various types of deep analysis.

Initial Project Analysis + +**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. + +**IF PRD EXISTS**: + +- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned +- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected +- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas +- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean + +**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: +Ask the user: + +"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: + +1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. + +2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? + +3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: + - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' + - 'Refactoring the authentication module' + - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' + +4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) + +Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." + +Based on their response: + +- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation +- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below + +Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: + +1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization +2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies +3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands +4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation +5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches + +Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: + +- What is the primary purpose of this project? +- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? +- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) +- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? +- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) +- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) + +### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis + +CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: + +1. **Explore Key Areas**: + - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) + - Configuration files and environment setup + - Package dependencies and versions + - Build and deployment configurations + - Test suites and coverage + +2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: + - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" + - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" + - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" + - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" + - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" + +3. **Map the Reality**: + - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) + - Find where key business logic lives + - Locate integration points and external dependencies + - Document workarounds and technical debt + - Note areas that differ from standard patterns + +**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement + +### 3.

Core Prompting Principles + +Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code. + +- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. +- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. +- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. +- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. + +### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework + +To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. + +1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. + - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ +2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. + - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ +3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. + - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ +4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. + - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ + +### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt + +You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. + +1. **Gather Foundational Context**: + - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. +2. **Describe the Visuals**: + - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. + - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). +3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: + - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. +4. **Present and Refine**: + - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). + - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. + - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/generate-ai-frontend-prompt.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/index-docs.md ==================== +# Index Documentation Task + +## Purpose + +This task maintains the integrity and completeness of the `docs/index.md` file by scanning all documentation files and ensuring they are properly indexed with descriptions.

This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). + +### Key Architectural Components + +#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) + +- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) +- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies +- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use +- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context + +#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) + +- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes +- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) +- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments + +#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) + +- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types +- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development +- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions + +#### 4. Reusable Resources + +- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories +- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" +- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review +- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences + +### Dual Environment Architecture + +#### IDE Environment + +- Users interact directly with agent markdown files +- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically +- Supports real-time file operations and project integration +- Optimized for development workflow execution + +#### Web UI Environment + +- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent +- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team +- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces +- Provides complete context in one package + +### Template Processing System + +BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: + +1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates +2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output +3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming + +### Technical Preferences Integration + +The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: + +- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects +- Eliminates repetitive technology specification +- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences +- Evolves over time with lessons learned + +### Build and Delivery Process + +The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: + +1. Reading agent or team definition files +2. Recursively resolving all dependencies +3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators +4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces + +This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. + +## Complete Development Workflow + +### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) + +**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** + +**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: + +1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis + +**For All Projects**: + +1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis +2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) +3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements +4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation +5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency +6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` + +#### Example Planning Prompts + +**For PRD Creation**: + +```text +"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. +Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." +``` + +**For Architecture Design**: + +```text +"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture +that can handle [specific requirements]." +``` + +### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE + +**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** + +- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding +- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks +- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project + +### IDE Development Workflow + +**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder + +1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): + - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development + - Two methods to shard: + a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat + b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents + - Shards `docs/prd.md` โ†’ `docs/prd/` folder + - Shards `docs/architecture.md` โ†’ `docs/architecture/` folder + - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! + +2. **Verify Sharded Content**: + - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order + - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference + - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation + +Resulting Folder Structure: + +- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections +- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections +- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories + +1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): + + **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: + - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows + - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation + - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** + + **Step 1 - Story Creation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ Select powerful model โ†’ `@sm` โ†’ `*create` + - SM executes create-next-story task + - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` + - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" + + **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@dev` + - Agent asks which story to implement + - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time + - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion + - Dev maintains File List of all changes + - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing + + **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@qa` โ†’ execute review-story task + - QA performs senior developer code review + - QA can refactor and improve code directly + - QA appends results to story's QA Results section + - If approved: Status โ†’ "Done" + - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev + + **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM โ†’ Dev โ†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete + +**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. + +### Status Tracking Workflow + +Stories progress through defined statuses: + +- **Draft** โ†’ **Approved** โ†’ **InProgress** โ†’ **Done** + +Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. + +### Workflow Types + +#### Greenfield Development + +- Business analysis and market research +- Product requirements and feature definition +- System architecture and design +- Development execution +- Testing and deployment + +#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) + +**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. + +**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: + +**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` +3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` + - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided + - Choose "single document" format for Web UI + - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas + - Creates one comprehensive markdown file + - Avoids bloating docs with unused code + +**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** +2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` + - More thorough but can create excessive documentation + +4. **Requirements Gathering**: + - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` + - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points + - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment + - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes + +5. **Architecture Planning**: + - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` + -

Initial Setup & Mode Selection + +- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** + - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. + - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. + - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `.bmad-core/checklists/change-checklist`. +- **Establish Interaction Mode:** + - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: + - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the change-checklist section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." + - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." + - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode and then inform the user: "We will now use the change-checklist to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." + +### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) + +- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the change-checklist (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). +- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): + - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. + - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. + - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. + - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. + - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. + +### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) + +- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): + - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). + - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: + - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. + - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. + - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). + - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. + - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). + - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. + - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. + +### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits + +- Synthesize the complete change-checklist analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the change-checklist. +- The proposal must clearly present: + - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. + - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). +- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback.

Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. + +### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps + +- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. +- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. +- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** + - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. + - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. + +## Output Deliverables + +- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format).

This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." + - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." + - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode and then inform the user: "We will now use the change-checklist to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." + +### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) + +- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the change-checklist (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). +- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): + - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. + - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. + - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. + - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. + - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. + +### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) + +- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): + - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). + - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: + - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. + - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. + - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). + - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. + - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). + - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. + - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. + +### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits + +- Synthesize the complete change-checklist analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the change-checklist. +- The proposal must clearly present: + - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. + - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). +- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. + +### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps + +- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. +- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. +- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** + - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. + - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. + +## Output Deliverables + +- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: + - A summary of the change-checklist analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). + - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. +- **Implicit:** An annotated change-checklist (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/correct-course.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/templates/story-tmpl.yaml ==================== +template: + id: story-template-v2 + name: Story Document + version: 2.0 + output: + format: markdown + filename: docs/stories/{{epic_num}}.{{story_num}}.{{story_title_short}}.md + title: "Story {{epic_num}}.{{story_num}}: {{story_title_short}}" + +workflow: + mode: interactive + elicitation: advanced-elicitation + +agent_config: + editable_sections: + -

Core Prompting Principles + +Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code. + +- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. +- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. +- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. +- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. + +### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework + +To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. + +1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. + - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ +2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. + - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ +3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. + - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ +4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. + - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ + +### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt + +You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. + +1. **Gather Foundational Context**: + - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. +2. **Describe the Visuals**: + - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. + - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). +3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: + - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. +4. **Present and Refine**: + - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). + - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. + - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/generate-ai-frontend-prompt.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/create-doc.md ==================== +# Create Document from Template (YAML Driven) + +## โš ๏ธ CRITICAL EXECUTION NOTICE โš ๏ธ + +**THIS IS AN EXECUTABLE WORKFLOW - NOT REFERENCE MATERIAL** + +When this task is invoked: + +1. **DISABLE ALL EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATIONS** - This workflow requires full user interaction +2. **MANDATORY STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION** - Each section must be processed sequentially with user feedback +3. **ELICITATION IS REQUIRED** - When `elicit: true`, you MUST use the 1-9 format and wait for user response +4. **NO SHORTCUTS ALLOWED** - Complete documents cannot be created without following this workflow + +**VIOLATION INDICATOR:** If you create a complete document without user interaction, you have violated this workflow. + +## Critical: Template Discovery + +If a YAML Template has not been provided, list all templates from .bmad-core/templates or ask the user to provide another. + +## CRITICAL: Mandatory Elicitation Format + +**When `elicit: true`, this is a HARD STOP requiring user interaction:** + +**YOU MUST:** + +1.

First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Phaser 3.") + +2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") + +3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: + + - The entire section as a whole + - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) + +4.

Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] + +1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) + [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] + +2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective + [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] + +3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies + [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] + +4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals + [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] + +5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks + [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] + +6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective + [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] + +7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches + [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] + +8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection + [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] + +9.

These guidelines ensure consistency, performance, and maintainability across all game development stories. + +## TypeScript Standards + +### Strict Mode Configuration + +**Required tsconfig.json settings:** + +```json +{ + "compilerOptions": { + "strict": true, + "noImplicitAny": true, + "strictNullChecks": true, + "strictFunctionTypes": true, + "noImplicitReturns": true, + "noUnusedLocals": true, + "noUnusedParameters": true, + "exactOptionalPropertyTypes": true + } +} +``` + +### Type Definitions + +**Game Object Interfaces:** + +```typescript +// Core game entity interface +interface GameEntity { + readonly id: string; + position: Phaser.Math.Vector2; + active: boolean; + destroy(): void; +} + +// Player controller interface +interface PlayerController { + readonly inputEnabled: boolean; + handleInput(input: InputState): void; + update(delta: number): void; +} + +// Game system interface +interface GameSystem { + readonly name: string; + initialize(): void; + update(delta: number): void; + shutdown(): void; +} +``` + +**Scene Data Interfaces:** + +```typescript +// Scene transition data +interface SceneData { + [key: string]: any; +} + +// Game state interface +interface GameState { + currentLevel: number; + score: number; + lives: number; + settings: GameSettings; +} + +interface GameSettings { + musicVolume: number; + sfxVolume: number; + difficulty: "easy" | "normal" | "hard"; + controls: ControlScheme; +} +``` + +### Naming Conventions + +**Classes and Interfaces:** + +- PascalCase for classes: `PlayerSprite`, `GameManager`, `AudioSystem` +- PascalCase with 'I' prefix for interfaces: `IGameEntity`, `IPlayerController` +- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `CollisionManager` not `CM` + +**Methods and Variables:** + +- camelCase for methods and variables: `updatePosition()`, `playerSpeed` +- Descriptive names: `calculateDamage()` not `calcDmg()` +- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `isActive`, `hasCollision`, `canMove` + +**Constants:** + +- UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants: `MAX_PLAYER_SPEED`, `DEFAULT_VOLUME` +- Group related constants in enums or const objects + +**Files and Directories:** + +- kebab-case for file names: `player-controller.ts`, `audio-manager.ts` +- PascalCase for scene files: `MenuScene.ts`, `GameScene.ts` + +## Phaser 3 Architecture Patterns + +### Scene Organization + +**Scene Lifecycle Management:** + +```typescript +class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { + private gameManager!: GameManager; + private inputManager!: InputManager; + + constructor() { + super({ key: "GameScene" }); + } + + preload(): void { + // Load only scene-specific assets + this.load.image("player", "assets/player.png"); + } + + create(data: SceneData): void { + // Initialize game systems + this.gameManager = new GameManager(this); + this.inputManager = new InputManager(this); + + // Set up scene-specific logic + this.setupGameObjects(); + this.setupEventListeners(); + } + + update(time: number, delta: number): void { + // Update all game systems + this.gameManager.update(delta); + this.inputManager.update(delta); + } + + shutdown(): void { + // Clean up resources + this.gameManager.destroy(); + this.inputManager.destroy(); + + // Remove event listeners + this.events.off("*"); + } +} +``` + +**Scene Transitions:** + +```typescript +// Proper scene transitions with data +this.scene.start("NextScene", { + playerScore: this.playerScore, + currentLevel: this.currentLevel + 1, +}); + +// Scene overlays for UI +this.scene.launch("PauseMenuScene"); +this.scene.pause(); +``` + +### Game Object Patterns + +**Component-Based Architecture:** + +```typescript +// Base game entity +abstract class GameEntity extends Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite { + protected components: Map = new Map(); + + constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, x: number, y: number, texture: string) { + super(scene, x, y, texture); + scene.add.existing(this); + } + + addComponent(component: T): T { + this.components.set(component.name, component); + return component; + } + + getComponent(name: string): T | undefined { + return this.components.get(name) as T; + } + + update(delta: number): void { + this.components.forEach((component) => component.update(delta)); + } + + destroy(): void { + this.components.forEach((component) => component.destroy()); + this.components.clear(); + super.destroy(); + } +} + +// Example player implementation +class Player extends GameEntity { + private movement!: MovementComponent; + private health!: HealthComponent; + + constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, x: number, y: number) { + super(scene, x, y, "player"); + + this.movement = this.addComponent(new MovementComponent(this)); + this.health = this.addComponent(new HealthComponent(this, 100)); + } +} +``` + +### System Management + +**Singleton Managers:** + +```typescript +class GameManager { + private static instance: GameManager; + private scene: Phaser.Scene; + private gameState: GameState; + + constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene) { + if (GameManager.instance) { + throw new Error("GameManager already exists!"); + } + + this.scene = scene; + this.gameState = this.loadGameState(); + GameManager.instance = this; + } + + static getInstance(): GameManager { + if (!GameManager.instance) { + throw new Error("GameManager not initialized!"); + } + return GameManager.instance; + } + + update(delta: number): void { + // Update game logic + } + + destroy(): void { + GameManager.instance = null!; + } +} +``` + +## Performance Optimization + +### Object Pooling + +**Required for High-Frequency Objects:** + +```typescript +class BulletPool { + private pool: Bullet[] = []; + private scene: Phaser.Scene; + + constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, initialSize: number = 50) { + this.scene = scene; + + // Pre-create bullets + for (let i = 0; i < initialSize; i++) { + const bullet = new Bullet(scene, 0, 0); + bullet.setActive(false); + bullet.setVisible(false); + this.pool.push(bullet); + } + } + + getBullet(): Bullet | null { + const bullet = this.pool.find((b) => !b.active); + if (bullet) { + bullet.setActive(true); + bullet.setVisible(true); + return bullet; + } + + // Pool exhausted - create new bullet + console.warn("Bullet pool exhausted, creating new bullet"); + return new Bullet(this.scene, 0, 0); + } + + releaseBullet(bullet: Bullet): void { + bullet.setActive(false); + bullet.setVisible(false); + bullet.setPosition(0, 0); + } +} +``` + +### Frame Rate Optimization + +**Performance Monitoring:** + +```typescript +class PerformanceMonitor { + private frameCount: number = 0; + private lastTime: number = 0; + private frameRate: number = 60; + + update(time: number): void { + this.frameCount++; + + if (time - this.lastTime >= 1000) { + this.frameRate = this.frameCount; + this.frameCount = 0; + this.lastTime = time; + + if (this.frameRate < 55) { + console.warn(`Low frame rate detected: ${this.frameRate} FPS`); + this.optimizePerformance(); + } + } + } + + private optimizePerformance(): void { + // Reduce particle counts, disable effects, etc. + } +} +``` + +**Update Loop Optimization:** + +```typescript +// Avoid expensive operations in update loops +class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { + private updateTimer: number = 0; + private readonly UPDATE_INTERVAL = 100; // ms + + update(time: number, delta: number): void { + // High-frequency updates (every frame) + this.updatePlayer(delta); + this.updatePhysics(delta); + + // Low-frequency updates (10 times per second) + this.updateTimer += delta; + if (this.updateTimer >= this.UPDATE_INTERVAL) { + this.updateUI(); + this.updateAI(); + this.updateTimer = 0; + } + } +} +``` + +## Input Handling + +### Cross-Platform Input + +**Input Abstraction:** + +```typescript +interface InputState { + moveLeft: boolean; + moveRight: boolean; + jump: boolean; + action: boolean; + pause: boolean; +} + +class InputManager { + private inputState: InputState = { + moveLeft: false, + moveRight: false, + jump: false, + action: false, + pause: false, + }; + + private keys!: { [key: string]: Phaser.Input.Keyboard.Key }; + private pointer!: Phaser.Input.Pointer; + + constructor(private scene: Phaser.Scene) { + this.setupKeyboard(); + this.setupTouch(); + } + + private setupKeyboard(): void { + this.keys = this.scene.input.keyboard.addKeys("W,A,S,D,SPACE,ESC,UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT"); + } + + private setupTouch(): void { + this.scene.input.on("pointerdown", this.handlePointerDown, this); + this.scene.input.on("pointerup", this.handlePointerUp, this); + } + + update(): void { + // Update input state from multiple sources + this.inputState.moveLeft = this.keys.A.isDown || this.keys.LEFT.isDown; + this.inputState.moveRight = this.keys.D.isDown || this.keys.RIGHT.isDown; + this.inputState.jump = Phaser.Input.Keyboard.JustDown(this.keys.SPACE); + // ... handle touch input + } + + getInputState(): InputState { + return { ...this.inputState }; + } +} +``` + +## Error Handling + +### Graceful Degradation + +**Asset Loading Error Handling:** + +```typescript +class AssetManager { + loadAssets(): Promise { + return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { + this.scene.load.on("filecomplete", this.handleFileComplete, this); + this.scene.load.on("loaderror", this.handleLoadError, this); + this.scene.load.on("complete", () => resolve()); + + this.scene.load.start(); + }); + } + + private handleLoadError(file: Phaser.Loader.File): void { + console.error(`Failed to load asset: ${file.key}`); + + // Use fallback assets + this.loadFallbackAsset(file.key); + } + + private loadFallbackAsset(key: string): void { + // Load placeholder or default assets + switch (key) { + case "player": + this.scene.load.image("player", "assets/defaults/default-player.png"); + break; + default: + console.warn(`No fallback for asset: ${key}`); + } + } +} +``` + +### Runtime Error Recovery + +**System Error Handling:** + +```typescript +class GameSystem { + protected handleError(error: Error, context: string): void { + console.error(`Error in ${context}:`, error); + + // Report to analytics/logging service + this.reportError(error, context); + + // Attempt recovery + this.attemptRecovery(context); + } + + private attemptRecovery(context: string): void { + switch (context) { + case "update": + // Reset system state + this.reset(); + break; + case "render": + // Disable visual effects + this.disableEffects(); + break; + default: + // Generic recovery + this.safeShutdown(); + } + } +} +``` + +## Testing Standards + +### Unit Testing + +**Game Logic Testing:** + +```typescript +// Example test for game mechanics +describe("HealthComponent", () => { + let healthComponent: HealthComponent; + + beforeEach(() => { + const mockEntity = {} as GameEntity; + healthComponent = new HealthComponent(mockEntity, 100); + }); + + test("should initialize with correct health", () => { + expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(100); + expect(healthComponent.maxHealth).toBe(100); + }); + + test("should handle damage correctly", () => { + healthComponent.takeDamage(25); + expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(75); + expect(healthComponent.isAlive()).toBe(true); + }); + + test("should handle death correctly", () => { + healthComponent.takeDamage(150); + expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(0); + expect(healthComponent.isAlive()).toBe(false); + }); +}); +``` + +### Integration Testing + +**Scene Testing:** + +```typescript +describe("GameScene Integration", () => { + let scene: GameScene; + let mockGame: Phaser.Game; + + beforeEach(() => { + // Mock Phaser game instance + mockGame = createMockGame(); + scene = new GameScene(); + }); + + test("should initialize all systems", () => { + scene.create({}); + + expect(scene.gameManager).toBeDefined(); + expect(scene.inputManager).toBeDefined(); + }); +});

Then present the action list as specified below.]] + +### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List + +[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions.

Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] + +1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) + [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] + +2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective + [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] + +3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies + [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] + +4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals + [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] + +5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks + [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] + +6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective + [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] + +7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches + [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] + +8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection + [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] + +9.

This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. + +2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? + +3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: + - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' + - 'Refactoring the authentication module' + - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' + +4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase?

(e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) +- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? +- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) +- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) + +### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis + +CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: + +1. **Explore Key Areas**: + - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) + - Configuration files and environment setup + - Package dependencies and versions + - Build and deployment configurations + - Test suites and coverage + +2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: + - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" + - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" + - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" + - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" + - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" + +3. **Map the Reality**: + - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) + - Find where key business logic lives + - Locate integration points and external dependencies + - Document workarounds and technical debt + - Note areas that differ from standard patterns + +**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement + +### 3.

+ private inputManager!: InputManager; + + constructor() { + super({ key: "GameScene" }); + } + + preload(): void { + // Load only scene-specific assets + this.load.image("player", "assets/player.png"); + } + + create(data: SceneData): void { + // Initialize game systems + this.gameManager = new GameManager(this); + this.inputManager = new InputManager(this); + + // Set up scene-specific logic + this.setupGameObjects();

+ this.inputManager.destroy(); + + // Remove event listeners + this.events.off("*"); + } +} +``` + +**Scene Transitions:** + +```typescript +// Proper scene transitions with data +this.scene.start("NextScene", { + playerScore: this.playerScore, + currentLevel: this.currentLevel + 1, +}); + +// Scene overlays for UI +this.scene.launch("PauseMenuScene"); +this.scene.pause(); +``` + +### Game Object Patterns + +**Component-Based Architecture:** + +```typescript +// Base game entity +abstract class GameEntity extends Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite { + protected components: Map = new Map(); + + constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, x: number, y: number, texture: string) { + super(scene, x, y, texture); + scene.add.existing(this); + } + + addComponent(component: T): T { + this.components.set(component.name, component);

+ } +} +``` + +### System Management + +**Singleton Managers:** + +```typescript +class GameManager { + private static instance: GameManager; + private scene: Phaser.Scene; + private gameState: GameState; + + constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene) { + if (GameManager.instance) { + throw new Error("GameManager already exists!"); + } + + this.scene = scene; + this.gameState = this.loadGameState(); + GameManager.instance = this;

+ } +} +``` + +## Performance Optimization + +### Object Pooling + +**Required for High-Frequency Objects:** + +```typescript +class BulletPool { + private pool: Bullet[] = []; + private scene: Phaser.Scene; + + constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, initialSize: number = 50) { + this.scene = scene; + + // Pre-create bullets + for (let i = 0; i < initialSize; i++) { + const bullet = new Bullet(scene, 0, 0); + bullet.setActive(false); + bullet.setVisible(false); + this.pool.push(bullet); + } + } + + getBullet(): Bullet | null { + const bullet = this.pool.find((b) => !b.active); + if (bullet) { + bullet.setActive(true); + bullet.setVisible(true); + return bullet; + } + + // Pool exhausted - create new bullet + console.warn("Bullet pool exhausted, creating new bullet"); + return new Bullet(this.scene, 0, 0); + } + + releaseBullet(bullet: Bullet): void { + bullet.setActive(false); + bullet.setVisible(false); + bullet.setPosition(0, 0); + } +} +``` + +### Frame Rate Optimization + +**Performance Monitoring:** + +```typescript +class PerformanceMonitor { + private frameCount: number = 0; + private lastTime: number = 0; + private frameRate: number = 60; + + update(time: number): void { + this.frameCount++; + + if (time - this.lastTime >= 1000) { + this.frameRate = this.frameCount; + this.frameCount = 0; + this.lastTime = time; + + if (this.frameRate < 55) { + console.warn(`Low frame rate detected: ${this.frameRate} FPS`); + this.optimizePerformance(); + } + } + } + + private optimizePerformance(): void { + // Reduce particle counts, disable effects, etc. + } +} +``` + +**Update Loop Optimization:** + +```typescript +// Avoid expensive operations in update loops +class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { + private updateTimer: number = 0; + private readonly UPDATE_INTERVAL = 100; // ms + + update(time: number, delta: number): void { + // High-frequency updates (every frame) + this.updatePlayer(delta); + this.updatePhysics(delta); + + // Low-frequency updates (10 times per second) + this.updateTimer += delta; + if (this.updateTimer >= this.UPDATE_INTERVAL) { + this.updateUI(); + this.updateAI(); + this.updateTimer = 0; + } + } +} +``` + +## Input Handling + +### Cross-Platform Input + +**Input Abstraction:** + +```typescript +interface InputState { + moveLeft: boolean; + moveRight: boolean; + jump: boolean; + action: boolean; + pause: boolean; +} + +class InputManager { + private inputState: InputState = { + moveLeft: false, + moveRight: false, + jump: false, + action: false, + pause: false, + }; + + private keys!: { [key: string]: Phaser.Input.Keyboard.Key }; + private pointer!: Phaser.Input.Pointer; + + constructor(private scene: Phaser.Scene) { + this.setupKeyboard(); + this.setupTouch(); + } + + private setupKeyboard(): void { + this.keys = this.scene.input.keyboard.addKeys("W,A,S,D,SPACE,ESC,UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT"); + } + + private setupTouch(): void { + this.scene.input.on("pointerdown", this.handlePointerDown, this); + this.scene.input.on("pointerup", this.handlePointerUp, this); + } + + update(): void { + // Update input state from multiple sources + this.inputState.moveLeft = this.keys.A.isDown || this.keys.LEFT.isDown; + this.inputState.moveRight = this.keys.D.isDown || this.keys.RIGHT.isDown; + this.inputState.jump = Phaser.Input.Keyboard.JustDown(this.keys.SPACE); + // ... handle touch input + } + + getInputState(): InputState { + return { ...this.inputState }; + } +} +``` + +## Error Handling + +### Graceful Degradation + +**Asset Loading Error Handling:** + +```typescript +class AssetManager { + loadAssets(): Promise { + return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { + this.scene.load.on("filecomplete", this.handleFileComplete, this); + this.scene.load.on("loaderror", this.handleLoadError, this); + this.scene.load.on("complete", () => resolve()); + + this.scene.load.start(); + }); + } + + private handleLoadError(file: Phaser.Loader.File): void { + console.error(`Failed to load asset: ${file.key}`); + + // Use fallback assets + this.loadFallbackAsset(file.key); + } + + private loadFallbackAsset(key: string): void { + // Load placeholder or default assets + switch (key) { + case "player": + this.scene.load.image("player", "assets/defaults/default-player.png"); + break; + default: + console.warn(`No fallback for asset: ${key}`); + } + } +} +``` + +### Runtime Error Recovery + +**System Error Handling:** + +```typescript +class GameSystem { + protected handleError(error: Error, context: string): void { + console.error(`Error in ${context}:`, error); + + // Report to analytics/logging service + this.reportError(error, context); + + // Attempt recovery + this.attemptRecovery(context); + } + + private attemptRecovery(context: string): void { + switch (context) { + case "update": + // Reset system state + this.reset(); + break; + case "render": + // Disable visual effects + this.disableEffects(); + break; + default: + // Generic recovery + this.safeShutdown(); + } + } +} +``` + +## Testing Standards + +### Unit Testing + +**Game Logic Testing:** + +```typescript +// Example test for game mechanics +describe("HealthComponent", () => { + let healthComponent: HealthComponent; + + beforeEach(() => { + const mockEntity = {} as GameEntity; + healthComponent = new HealthComponent(mockEntity, 100); + }); + + test("should initialize with correct health", () => { + expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(100);

+ }); + + test("should handle death correctly", () => { + healthComponent.takeDamage(150); + expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(0); + expect(healthComponent.isAlive()).toBe(false); + }); +}); +``` + +### Integration Testing + +**Scene Testing:** + +```typescript +describe("GameScene Integration", () => { + let scene: GameScene; + let mockGame: Phaser.Game; + + beforeEach(() => { + // Mock Phaser game instance + mockGame = createMockGame();

First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Phaser 3.") + +2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") + +3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: + + - The entire section as a whole + - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) + +4. Then present the action list as specified below.]] + +### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List + +[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection.

Expand or Contract for Target Audience + [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] + +1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) + [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] + +2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective + [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] + +3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies + [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] + +4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals + [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] + +5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks + [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] + +6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective + [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] + +7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches + [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] + +8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection + [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] + +9.

Game Design Context and Review + +[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a game design section: + +1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Unity.") + +2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") + +3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: + + - The entire section as a whole + - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) + +4. Then present the action list as specified below.]] + +### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List + +[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection. If an elicitation action (0-8) is chosen, execute it and then re-offer this combined review/elicitation choice. If option 9 is chosen, or if the user provides direct feedback, proceed accordingly.]] + +**Present the numbered list (0-9) with this exact format:** + +```text +**Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions** +Choose an action (0-9 - 9 to bypass - HELP for explanation of these options): + +0.

Expand or Contract for Target Audience + [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] + +1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) + [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] + +2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective + [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] + +3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies + [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] + +4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals + [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] + +5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks + [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] + +6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective + [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] + +7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches + [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] + +8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection + [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] + +9. Proceed / No Further Actions + [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current game design work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list.

+ +[RequireComponent(typeof(PlayerMovement), typeof(PlayerHealth))] +public class Player : MonoBehaviour +{ + public PlayerMovement Movement { get; private set; } + public PlayerHealth Health { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + Movement = GetComponent(); + Health = GetComponent(); + } +} + +// PlayerHealth.cs - A component responsible only for health logic. +public class PlayerHealth : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private int _maxHealth = 100; + private int _currentHealth; + + private void Awake() + { + _currentHealth = _maxHealth; + } + + public void TakeDamage(int amount) + { + _currentHealth -= amount; + if (_currentHealth <= 0) + { + Die(); + } + } + + private void Die() + { + // Death logic + Debug.Log("Player has died."); + gameObject.SetActive(false); + } +} +``` + +### Data-Driven Design with ScriptableObjects + +**Define Data Containers:** +```csharp +// EnemyData.cs - A ScriptableObject to hold data for an enemy type. +using UnityEngine; + +[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "NewEnemyData", menuName = "Game/Enemy Data")] +public class EnemyData : ScriptableObject +{ + public string enemyName; + public int maxHealth; + public float moveSpeed; + public int damage; + public Sprite sprite; +} + +// Enemy.cs - A MonoBehaviour that uses the EnemyData. +public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private EnemyData _enemyData; + private int _currentHealth; + + private void Start() + { + _currentHealth = _enemyData.maxHealth; + GetComponent().sprite = _enemyData.sprite; + } + + // ... other enemy logic +} +``` + +### System Management + +**Singleton Managers:** +```csharp +// GameManager.cs - A singleton to manage the overall game state. +using UnityEngine; + +public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour +{ + public static GameManager Instance { get; private set; } + + public int Score { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + if (Instance != null && Instance != this) + { + Destroy(gameObject); + return; + } + Instance = this; + DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); // Persist across scenes + } + + public void AddScore(int amount) + { + Score += amount; + } +} +``` + +## Performance Optimization + +### Object Pooling + +**Required for High-Frequency Objects (e.g., bullets, effects):** +```csharp +// ObjectPool.cs - A generic object pooling system. +using UnityEngine; +using System.Collections.Generic; + +public class ObjectPool : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private GameObject _prefabToPool; + [SerializeField] private int _initialPoolSize = 20; + + private Queue _pool = new Queue(); + + private void Start() + { + for (int i = 0; i < _initialPoolSize; i++) + { + GameObject obj = Instantiate(_prefabToPool); + obj.SetActive(false); + _pool.Enqueue(obj); + } + } + + public GameObject GetObjectFromPool() + { + if (_pool.Count > 0) + { + GameObject obj = _pool.Dequeue(); + obj.SetActive(true); + return obj; + } + // Optionally, expand the pool if it's empty. + return Instantiate(_prefabToPool); + } + + public void ReturnObjectToPool(GameObject obj) + { + obj.SetActive(false); + _pool.Enqueue(obj); + } +} +``` + +### Frame Rate Optimization + +**Update Loop Optimization:** +- Avoid expensive calls like `GetComponent`, `FindObjectOfType`, or `Instantiate` inside `Update()` or `FixedUpdate()`. Cache references in `Awake()` or `Start()`. +- Use Coroutines or simple timers for logic that doesn't need to run every single frame. + +**Physics Optimization:** +- Adjust the "Physics 2D Settings" in Project Settings, especially the "Layer Collision Matrix", to prevent unnecessary collision checks. +- Use `Rigidbody2D.Sleep()` for objects that are not moving to save CPU cycles. + +## Input Handling + +### Cross-Platform Input (New Input System) + +**Input Action Asset:** Create an Input Action Asset (`.inputactions`) to define controls. + +**PlayerInput Component:** +- Add the `PlayerInput` component to the player GameObject. +- Set its "Actions" to the created Input Action Asset. +- Set "Behavior" to "Invoke Unity Events" to easily hook up methods in the Inspector, or "Send Messages" to use methods like `OnMove`, `OnFire`. + +```csharp +// PlayerInputHandler.cs - Example of handling input via messages. +using UnityEngine; +using UnityEngine.InputSystem; + +public class PlayerInputHandler : MonoBehaviour +{ + private Vector2 _moveInput; + + // This method is called by the PlayerInput component via "Send Messages". + // The action must be named "Move" in the Input Action Asset. + public void OnMove(InputValue value) + { + _moveInput = value.Get(); + } + + private void Update() + { + // Use _moveInput to control the player + transform.Translate(new Vector3(_moveInput.x, _moveInput.y, 0) * Time.deltaTime * 5f); + } +} +``` + +## Error Handling + +### Graceful Degradation + +**Asset Loading Error Handling:** +- When using Addressables or `Resources.Load`, always check if the loaded asset is null before using it. +```csharp +// Load a sprite and use a fallback if it fails +Sprite playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Player"); +if (playerSprite == null) +{ + Debug.LogError("Player sprite not found! Using default."); + playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Default"); +} +``` + +### Runtime Error Recovery + +**Assertions and Logging:** +- Use `Debug.Assert(condition, "Message")` to check for critical conditions that must be true. +- Use `Debug.LogError("Message")` for fatal errors and `Debug.LogWarning("Message")` for non-critical issues. +```csharp +// Example of using an assertion to ensure a component exists. +private Rigidbody2D _rb; + +void Awake() +{ + _rb = GetComponent(); + Debug.Assert(_rb != null, "Rigidbody2D component not found on player!"); +} +``` + +## Testing Standards + +### Unit Testing (Edit Mode) + +**Game Logic Testing:** +```csharp +// HealthSystemTests.cs - Example test for a simple health system. +using NUnit.Framework; +using UnityEngine; + +public class HealthSystemTests +{ + [Test] + public void TakeDamage_ReducesHealth() + { + // Arrange + var gameObject = new GameObject(); + var healthSystem = gameObject.AddComponent(); + // Note: This is a simplified example.

First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Unity.") + +2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") + +3.

Then present the action list as specified below.]] + +### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List + +[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection.

Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] + +1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) + [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] + +2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective + [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] + +3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies + [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] + +4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals + [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] + +5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks + [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] + +6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective + [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] + +7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches + [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] + +8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection + [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] + +9.

These guidelines ensure consistency, performance, and maintainability across all game development stories. + +## C# Standards + +### Naming Conventions + +**Classes, Structs, Enums, and Interfaces:** +- PascalCase for types: `PlayerController`, `GameData`, `IInteractable` +- Prefix interfaces with 'I': `IDamageable`, `IControllable` +- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `GameStateManager` not `GSM` + +**Methods and Properties:** +- PascalCase for methods and properties: `CalculateScore()`, `CurrentHealth` +- Descriptive verb phrases for methods: `ActivateShield()` not `shield()` + +**Fields and Variables:** +- `private` or `protected` fields: camelCase with an underscore prefix: `_playerHealth`, `_movementSpeed` +- `public` fields (use sparingly, prefer properties): PascalCase: `PlayerName` +- `static` fields: PascalCase: `Instance`, `GameVersion` +- `const` fields: PascalCase: `MaxHitPoints` +- `local` variables: camelCase: `damageAmount`, `isJumping` +- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `_isAlive`, `_hasKey`, `_canJump` + +**Files and Directories:** +- PascalCase for C# script files, matching the primary class name: `PlayerController.cs` +- PascalCase for Scene files: `MainMenu.unity`, `Level01.unity` + +### Style and Formatting + +- **Braces**: Use Allman style (braces on a new line). +- **Spacing**: Use 4 spaces for indentation (no tabs). +- **`using` directives**: Place all `using` directives at the top of the file, outside the namespace. +- **`this` keyword**: Only use `this` when necessary to distinguish between a field and a local variable/parameter. + +## Unity Architecture Patterns + +### Scene Lifecycle Management +**Loading and Transitioning Between Scenes:** +```csharp +// SceneLoader.cs - A singleton for managing scene transitions. +using UnityEngine; +using UnityEngine.SceneManagement; +using System.Collections; + +public class SceneLoader : MonoBehaviour +{ + public static SceneLoader Instance { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + if (Instance != null && Instance != this) + { + Destroy(gameObject); + return; + } + Instance = this; + DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); + } + + public void LoadGameScene() + { + // Example of loading the main game scene, perhaps with a loading screen first. + StartCoroutine(LoadSceneAsync("Level01")); + } + + private IEnumerator LoadSceneAsync(string sceneName) + { + // Load a loading screen first (optional) + SceneManager.LoadScene("LoadingScreen"); + + // Wait a frame for the loading screen to appear + yield return null; + + // Begin loading the target scene in the background + AsyncOperation asyncLoad = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(sceneName); + + // Don't activate the scene until it's fully loaded + asyncLoad.allowSceneActivation = false; + + // Wait until the asynchronous scene fully loads + while (!asyncLoad.isDone) + { + // Here you could update a progress bar with asyncLoad.progress + if (asyncLoad.progress >= 0.9f) + { + // Scene is loaded, allow activation + asyncLoad.allowSceneActivation = true; + } + yield return null; + } + } +} +``` + +### MonoBehaviour Lifecycle +**Understanding Core MonoBehaviour Events:** +```csharp +// Example of a standard MonoBehaviour lifecycle +using UnityEngine; + +public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour +{ + // AWAKE: Called when the script instance is being loaded. + // Use for initialization before the game starts. Good for caching component references. + private void Awake() + { + Debug.Log("PlayerController Awake!"); + } + + // ONENABLE: Called when the object becomes enabled and active. + // Good for subscribing to events. + private void OnEnable() + { + // Example: UIManager.OnGamePaused += HandleGamePaused; + } + + // START: Called on the frame when a script is enabled just before any of the Update methods are called the first time. + // Good for logic that depends on other objects being initialized. + private void Start() + { + Debug.Log("PlayerController Start!"); + } + + // FIXEDUPDATE: Called every fixed framerate frame. + // Use for physics calculations (e.g., applying forces to a Rigidbody). + private void FixedUpdate() + { + // Handle Rigidbody movement here. + } + + // UPDATE: Called every frame. + // Use for most game logic, like handling input and non-physics movement. + private void Update() + { + // Handle input and non-physics movement here. + } + + // LATEUPDATE: Called every frame, after all Update functions have been called. + // Good for camera logic that needs to track a target that moves in Update. + private void LateUpdate() + { + // Camera follow logic here. + } + + // ONDISABLE: Called when the behaviour becomes disabled or inactive. + // Good for unsubscribing from events to prevent memory leaks. + private void OnDisable() + { + // Example: UIManager.OnGamePaused -= HandleGamePaused; + } + + // ONDESTROY: Called when the MonoBehaviour will be destroyed. + // Good for any final cleanup. + private void OnDestroy() + { + Debug.Log("PlayerController Destroyed!"); + } +} +``` + +### Game Object Patterns + +**Component-Based Architecture:** +```csharp +// Player.cs - The main GameObject class, acts as a container for components. +using UnityEngine; + +[RequireComponent(typeof(PlayerMovement), typeof(PlayerHealth))] +public class Player : MonoBehaviour +{ + public PlayerMovement Movement { get; private set; } + public PlayerHealth Health { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + Movement = GetComponent(); + Health = GetComponent(); + } +} + +// PlayerHealth.cs - A component responsible only for health logic. +public class PlayerHealth : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private int _maxHealth = 100; + private int _currentHealth; + + private void Awake() + { + _currentHealth = _maxHealth; + } + + public void TakeDamage(int amount) + { + _currentHealth -= amount; + if (_currentHealth <= 0) + { + Die(); + } + } + + private void Die() + { + // Death logic + Debug.Log("Player has died."); + gameObject.SetActive(false); + } +} +``` + +### Data-Driven Design with ScriptableObjects + +**Define Data Containers:** +```csharp +// EnemyData.cs - A ScriptableObject to hold data for an enemy type. +using UnityEngine; + +[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "NewEnemyData", menuName = "Game/Enemy Data")] +public class EnemyData : ScriptableObject +{ + public string enemyName; + public int maxHealth; + public float moveSpeed; + public int damage; + public Sprite sprite; +} + +// Enemy.cs - A MonoBehaviour that uses the EnemyData. +public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private EnemyData _enemyData; + private int _currentHealth; + + private void Start() + { + _currentHealth = _enemyData.maxHealth; + GetComponent().sprite = _enemyData.sprite; + } + + // ... other enemy logic +} +``` + +### System Management + +**Singleton Managers:** +```csharp +// GameManager.cs - A singleton to manage the overall game state. +using UnityEngine; + +public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour +{ + public static GameManager Instance { get; private set; } + + public int Score { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + if (Instance != null && Instance != this) + { + Destroy(gameObject); + return; + } + Instance = this; + DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); // Persist across scenes + } + + public void AddScore(int amount) + { + Score += amount; + } +} +``` + +## Performance Optimization + +### Object Pooling + +**Required for High-Frequency Objects (e.g., bullets, effects):** +```csharp +// ObjectPool.cs - A generic object pooling system. +using UnityEngine; +using System.Collections.Generic; + +public class ObjectPool : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private GameObject _prefabToPool; + [SerializeField] private int _initialPoolSize = 20; + + private Queue _pool = new Queue(); + + private void Start() + { + for (int i = 0; i < _initialPoolSize; i++) + { + GameObject obj = Instantiate(_prefabToPool); + obj.SetActive(false); + _pool.Enqueue(obj); + } + } + + public GameObject GetObjectFromPool() + { + if (_pool.Count > 0) + { + GameObject obj = _pool.Dequeue(); + obj.SetActive(true); + return obj; + } + // Optionally, expand the pool if it's empty. + return Instantiate(_prefabToPool); + } + + public void ReturnObjectToPool(GameObject obj) + { + obj.SetActive(false); + _pool.Enqueue(obj); + } +} +``` + +### Frame Rate Optimization + +**Update Loop Optimization:** +- Avoid expensive calls like `GetComponent`, `FindObjectOfType`, or `Instantiate` inside `Update()` or `FixedUpdate()`. Cache references in `Awake()` or `Start()`. +- Use Coroutines or simple timers for logic that doesn't need to run every single frame. + +**Physics Optimization:** +- Adjust the "Physics 2D Settings" in Project Settings, especially the "Layer Collision Matrix", to prevent unnecessary collision checks. +- Use `Rigidbody2D.Sleep()` for objects that are not moving to save CPU cycles. + +## Input Handling + +### Cross-Platform Input (New Input System) + +**Input Action Asset:** Create an Input Action Asset (`.inputactions`) to define controls. + +**PlayerInput Component:** +- Add the `PlayerInput` component to the player GameObject. +- Set its "Actions" to the created Input Action Asset. +- Set "Behavior" to "Invoke Unity Events" to easily hook up methods in the Inspector, or "Send Messages" to use methods like `OnMove`, `OnFire`. + +```csharp +// PlayerInputHandler.cs - Example of handling input via messages. +using UnityEngine; +using UnityEngine.InputSystem; + +public class PlayerInputHandler : MonoBehaviour +{ + private Vector2 _moveInput; + + // This method is called by the PlayerInput component via "Send Messages". + // The action must be named "Move" in the Input Action Asset. + public void OnMove(InputValue value) + { + _moveInput = value.Get(); + } + + private void Update() + { + // Use _moveInput to control the player + transform.Translate(new Vector3(_moveInput.x, _moveInput.y, 0) * Time.deltaTime * 5f); + } +} +``` + +## Error Handling + +### Graceful Degradation + +**Asset Loading Error Handling:** +- When using Addressables or `Resources.Load`, always check if the loaded asset is null before using it. +```csharp +// Load a sprite and use a fallback if it fails +Sprite playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Player"); +if (playerSprite == null) +{ + Debug.LogError("Player sprite not found! Using default."); + playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Default"); +} +``` + +### Runtime Error Recovery + +**Assertions and Logging:** +- Use `Debug.Assert(condition, "Message")` to check for critical conditions that must be true. +- Use `Debug.LogError("Message")` for fatal errors and `Debug.LogWarning("Message")` for non-critical issues. +```csharp +// Example of using an assertion to ensure a component exists. +private Rigidbody2D _rb; + +void Awake() +{ + _rb = GetComponent(); + Debug.Assert(_rb != null, "Rigidbody2D component not found on player!"); +} +``` + +## Testing Standards + +### Unit Testing (Edit Mode) + +**Game Logic Testing:** +```csharp +// HealthSystemTests.cs - Example test for a simple health system. +using NUnit.Framework; +using UnityEngine; + +public class HealthSystemTests +{ + [Test] + public void TakeDamage_ReducesHealth() + { + // Arrange + var gameObject = new GameObject(); + var healthSystem = gameObject.AddComponent(); + // Note: This is a simplified example. You might need to mock dependencies. + + // Act + healthSystem.TakeDamage(20); + + // Assert + // This requires making health accessible for testing, e.g., via a public property or method. + // Assert.AreEqual(80, healthSystem.CurrentHealth); + } +} +``` + +### Integration Testing (Play Mode) + +**Scene Testing:** +- Play Mode tests run in a live scene, allowing you to test interactions between multiple components and systems. +- Use `yield return null;` to wait for the next frame. +```csharp +// PlayerJumpTest.cs +using System.Collections; +using NUnit.Framework; +using UnityEngine; +using UnityEngine.TestTools; + +public class PlayerJumpTest +{ + [UnityTest] + public IEnumerator PlayerJumps_WhenSpaceIsPressed() + { + // Arrange + var player = new GameObject().AddComponent(); + var initialY = player.transform.position.y; + + // Act + // Simulate pressing the jump button (requires setting up the input system for tests) + // For simplicity, we'll call a public method here. + // player.Jump(); + + // Wait for a few physics frames + yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f); + + // Assert + Assert.Greater(player.transform.position.y, initialY); + } +} +``` + +## File Organization + +### Project Structure + +``` +Assets/ +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Scenes/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ MainMenu.unity +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Level01.unity +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Scripts/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Core/ +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ GameManager.cs +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ AudioManager.cs +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Player/ +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ PlayerController.cs +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ PlayerHealth.cs +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Editor/ +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ CustomInspectors.cs +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Data/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ EnemyData.cs +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Prefabs/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Player.prefab +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Enemies/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Slime.prefab +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Art/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Sprites/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Animations/ +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Audio/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Music/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ SFX/ +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Data/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ ScriptableObjects/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ EnemyData/ +โ””โ”€โ”€ Tests/ + โ”œโ”€โ”€ EditMode/ + โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ HealthSystemTests.cs + โ””โ”€โ”€ PlayMode/ + โ””โ”€โ”€ PlayerJumpTest.cs +``` + +## Development Workflow + +### Story Implementation Process + +1. **Read Story Requirements:** + + - Understand acceptance criteria + - Identify technical requirements + - Review performance constraints + +2. **Plan Implementation:** + + - Identify files to create/modify + - Consider Unity's component-based architecture + - Plan testing approach + +3. **Implement Feature:** + + - Write clean C# code following all guidelines + - Use established patterns + - Maintain stable FPS performance + +4. **Test Implementation:** + + - Write edit mode tests for game logic + - Write play mode tests for integration testing + - Test cross-platform functionality + - Validate performance targets + +5. **Update Documentation:** + - Mark story checkboxes complete + - Document any deviations + - Update architecture if needed + +### Code Review Checklist + +- [ ] C# code compiles without errors or warnings. +- [ ] All automated tests pass. +- [ ] Code follows naming conventions and architectural patterns. +- [ ] No expensive operations in `Update()` loops. +- [ ] Public fields/methods are documented with comments. +- [ ] New assets are organized into the correct folders. + +## Performance Targets + +### Frame Rate Requirements + +- **PC/Console**: Maintain a stable 60+ FPS. +- **Mobile**: Maintain 60 FPS on mid-range devices, minimum 30 FPS on low-end. +- **Optimization**: Use the Unity Profiler to identify and fix performance drops. + +### Memory Management + +- **Total Memory**: Keep builds under platform-specific limits (e.g., 200MB for a simple mobile game). +- **Garbage Collection**: Minimize GC spikes by avoiding string concatenation, `new` keyword usage in loops, and by pooling objects. + +### Loading Performance + +- **Initial Load**: Under 5 seconds for game start. +- **Scene Transitions**: Under 2 seconds between scenes.

First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Unity.") + +2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") + +3.

Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] + +1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) + [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] + +2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective + [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] + +3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies + [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] + +4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals + [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] + +5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks + [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] + +6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective + [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] + +7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches + [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] + +8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection + [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] + +9.

These guidelines ensure consistency, performance, and maintainability across all game development stories. + +## C# Standards + +### Naming Conventions + +**Classes, Structs, Enums, and Interfaces:** +- PascalCase for types: `PlayerController`, `GameData`, `IInteractable` +- Prefix interfaces with 'I': `IDamageable`, `IControllable` +- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `GameStateManager` not `GSM` + +**Methods and Properties:** +- PascalCase for methods and properties: `CalculateScore()`, `CurrentHealth` +- Descriptive verb phrases for methods: `ActivateShield()` not `shield()` + +**Fields and Variables:** +- `private` or `protected` fields: camelCase with an underscore prefix: `_playerHealth`, `_movementSpeed` +- `public` fields (use sparingly, prefer properties): PascalCase: `PlayerName` +- `static` fields: PascalCase: `Instance`, `GameVersion` +- `const` fields: PascalCase: `MaxHitPoints` +- `local` variables: camelCase: `damageAmount`, `isJumping` +- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `_isAlive`, `_hasKey`, `_canJump` + +**Files and Directories:** +- PascalCase for C# script files, matching the primary class name: `PlayerController.cs` +- PascalCase for Scene files: `MainMenu.unity`, `Level01.unity` + +### Style and Formatting + +- **Braces**: Use Allman style (braces on a new line). +- **Spacing**: Use 4 spaces for indentation (no tabs). +- **`using` directives**: Place all `using` directives at the top of the file, outside the namespace. +- **`this` keyword**: Only use `this` when necessary to distinguish between a field and a local variable/parameter. + +## Unity Architecture Patterns + +### Scene Lifecycle Management +**Loading and Transitioning Between Scenes:** +```csharp +// SceneLoader.cs - A singleton for managing scene transitions. +using UnityEngine; +using UnityEngine.SceneManagement; +using System.Collections; + +public class SceneLoader : MonoBehaviour +{ + public static SceneLoader Instance { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + if (Instance != null && Instance != this) + { + Destroy(gameObject); + return; + } + Instance = this; + DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); + } + + public void LoadGameScene() + { + // Example of loading the main game scene, perhaps with a loading screen first. + StartCoroutine(LoadSceneAsync("Level01")); + } + + private IEnumerator LoadSceneAsync(string sceneName) + { + // Load a loading screen first (optional) + SceneManager.LoadScene("LoadingScreen"); + + // Wait a frame for the loading screen to appear + yield return null; + + // Begin loading the target scene in the background + AsyncOperation asyncLoad = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(sceneName); + + // Don't activate the scene until it's fully loaded + asyncLoad.allowSceneActivation = false; + + // Wait until the asynchronous scene fully loads + while (!asyncLoad.isDone) + { + // Here you could update a progress bar with asyncLoad.progress + if (asyncLoad.progress >= 0.9f) + { + // Scene is loaded, allow activation + asyncLoad.allowSceneActivation = true; + } + yield return null; + } + } +} +``` + +### MonoBehaviour Lifecycle +**Understanding Core MonoBehaviour Events:** +```csharp +// Example of a standard MonoBehaviour lifecycle +using UnityEngine; + +public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour +{ + // AWAKE: Called when the script instance is being loaded. + // Use for initialization before the game starts. Good for caching component references. + private void Awake() + { + Debug.Log("PlayerController Awake!"); + } + + // ONENABLE: Called when the object becomes enabled and active. + // Good for subscribing to events. + private void OnEnable() + { + // Example: UIManager.OnGamePaused += HandleGamePaused; + } + + // START: Called on the frame when a script is enabled just before any of the Update methods are called the first time. + // Good for logic that depends on other objects being initialized. + private void Start() + { + Debug.Log("PlayerController Start!"); + } + + // FIXEDUPDATE: Called every fixed framerate frame. + // Use for physics calculations (e.g., applying forces to a Rigidbody). + private void FixedUpdate() + { + // Handle Rigidbody movement here. + } + + // UPDATE: Called every frame. + // Use for most game logic, like handling input and non-physics movement. + private void Update() + { + // Handle input and non-physics movement here. + } + + // LATEUPDATE: Called every frame, after all Update functions have been called. + // Good for camera logic that needs to track a target that moves in Update. + private void LateUpdate() + { + // Camera follow logic here. + } + + // ONDISABLE: Called when the behaviour becomes disabled or inactive. + // Good for unsubscribing from events to prevent memory leaks. + private void OnDisable() + { + // Example: UIManager.OnGamePaused -= HandleGamePaused; + } + + // ONDESTROY: Called when the MonoBehaviour will be destroyed. + // Good for any final cleanup. + private void OnDestroy() + { + Debug.Log("PlayerController Destroyed!"); + } +} +``` + +### Game Object Patterns + +**Component-Based Architecture:** +```csharp +// Player.cs - The main GameObject class, acts as a container for components. +using UnityEngine; + +[RequireComponent(typeof(PlayerMovement), typeof(PlayerHealth))] +public class Player : MonoBehaviour +{ + public PlayerMovement Movement { get; private set; } + public PlayerHealth Health { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + Movement = GetComponent(); + Health = GetComponent(); + } +} + +// PlayerHealth.cs - A component responsible only for health logic. +public class PlayerHealth : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private int _maxHealth = 100; + private int _currentHealth; + + private void Awake() + { + _currentHealth = _maxHealth; + } + + public void TakeDamage(int amount) + { + _currentHealth -= amount; + if (_currentHealth <= 0) + { + Die(); + } + } + + private void Die() + { + // Death logic + Debug.Log("Player has died."); + gameObject.SetActive(false); + } +} +``` + +### Data-Driven Design with ScriptableObjects + +**Define Data Containers:** +```csharp +// EnemyData.cs - A ScriptableObject to hold data for an enemy type. +using UnityEngine; + +[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "NewEnemyData", menuName = "Game/Enemy Data")] +public class EnemyData : ScriptableObject +{ + public string enemyName; + public int maxHealth; + public float moveSpeed; + public int damage; + public Sprite sprite; +} + +// Enemy.cs - A MonoBehaviour that uses the EnemyData. +public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private EnemyData _enemyData; + private int _currentHealth; + + private void Start() + { + _currentHealth = _enemyData.maxHealth; + GetComponent().sprite = _enemyData.sprite; + } + + // ... other enemy logic +} +``` + +### System Management + +**Singleton Managers:** +```csharp +// GameManager.cs - A singleton to manage the overall game state. +using UnityEngine; + +public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour +{ + public static GameManager Instance { get; private set; } + + public int Score { get; private set; } + + private void Awake() + { + if (Instance != null && Instance != this) + { + Destroy(gameObject); + return; + } + Instance = this; + DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); // Persist across scenes + } + + public void AddScore(int amount) + { + Score += amount; + } +} +``` + +## Performance Optimization + +### Object Pooling + +**Required for High-Frequency Objects (e.g., bullets, effects):** +```csharp +// ObjectPool.cs - A generic object pooling system. +using UnityEngine; +using System.Collections.Generic; + +public class ObjectPool : MonoBehaviour +{ + [SerializeField] private GameObject _prefabToPool; + [SerializeField] private int _initialPoolSize = 20; + + private Queue _pool = new Queue(); + + private void Start() + { + for (int i = 0; i < _initialPoolSize; i++) + { + GameObject obj = Instantiate(_prefabToPool); + obj.SetActive(false); + _pool.Enqueue(obj); + } + } + + public GameObject GetObjectFromPool() + { + if (_pool.Count > 0) + { + GameObject obj = _pool.Dequeue(); + obj.SetActive(true); + return obj; + } + // Optionally, expand the pool if it's empty. + return Instantiate(_prefabToPool); + } + + public void ReturnObjectToPool(GameObject obj) + { + obj.SetActive(false); + _pool.Enqueue(obj); + } +} +``` + +### Frame Rate Optimization + +**Update Loop Optimization:** +- Avoid expensive calls like `GetComponent`, `FindObjectOfType`, or `Instantiate` inside `Update()` or `FixedUpdate()`. Cache references in `Awake()` or `Start()`. +- Use Coroutines or simple timers for logic that doesn't need to run every single frame. + +**Physics Optimization:** +- Adjust the "Physics 2D Settings" in Project Settings, especially the "Layer Collision Matrix", to prevent unnecessary collision checks. +- Use `Rigidbody2D.Sleep()` for objects that are not moving to save CPU cycles. + +## Input Handling + +### Cross-Platform Input (New Input System) + +**Input Action Asset:** Create an Input Action Asset (`.inputactions`) to define controls. + +**PlayerInput Component:** +- Add the `PlayerInput` component to the player GameObject. +- Set its "Actions" to the created Input Action Asset. +- Set "Behavior" to "Invoke Unity Events" to easily hook up methods in the Inspector, or "Send Messages" to use methods like `OnMove`, `OnFire`. + +```csharp +// PlayerInputHandler.cs - Example of handling input via messages. +using UnityEngine; +using UnityEngine.InputSystem; + +public class PlayerInputHandler : MonoBehaviour +{ + private Vector2 _moveInput; + + // This method is called by the PlayerInput component via "Send Messages". + // The action must be named "Move" in the Input Action Asset. + public void OnMove(InputValue value) + { + _moveInput = value.Get(); + } + + private void Update() + { + // Use _moveInput to control the player + transform.Translate(new Vector3(_moveInput.x, _moveInput.y, 0) * Time.deltaTime * 5f); + } +} +``` + +## Error Handling + +### Graceful Degradation + +**Asset Loading Error Handling:** +- When using Addressables or `Resources.Load`, always check if the loaded asset is null before using it. +```csharp +// Load a sprite and use a fallback if it fails +Sprite playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Player"); +if (playerSprite == null) +{ + Debug.LogError("Player sprite not found! Using default."); + playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Default"); +} +``` + +### Runtime Error Recovery + +**Assertions and Logging:** +- Use `Debug.Assert(condition, "Message")` to check for critical conditions that must be true. +- Use `Debug.LogError("Message")` for fatal errors and `Debug.LogWarning("Message")` for non-critical issues. +```csharp +// Example of using an assertion to ensure a component exists. +private Rigidbody2D _rb; + +void Awake() +{ + _rb = GetComponent(); + Debug.Assert(_rb != null, "Rigidbody2D component not found on player!"); +} +``` + +## Testing Standards + +### Unit Testing (Edit Mode) + +**Game Logic Testing:** +```csharp +// HealthSystemTests.cs - Example test for a simple health system. +using NUnit.Framework; +using UnityEngine; + +public class HealthSystemTests +{ + [Test] + public void TakeDamage_ReducesHealth() + { + // Arrange + var gameObject = new GameObject(); + var healthSystem = gameObject.AddComponent(); + // Note: This is a simplified example. You might need to mock dependencies. + + // Act + healthSystem.TakeDamage(20); + + // Assert + // This requires making health accessible for testing, e.g., via a public property or method. + // Assert.AreEqual(80, healthSystem.CurrentHealth); + } +} +``` + +### Integration Testing (Play Mode) + +**Scene Testing:** +- Play Mode tests run in a live scene, allowing you to test interactions between multiple components and systems. +- Use `yield return null;` to wait for the next frame. +```csharp +// PlayerJumpTest.cs +using System.Collections; +using NUnit.Framework; +using UnityEngine; +using UnityEngine.TestTools; + +public class PlayerJumpTest +{ + [UnityTest] + public IEnumerator PlayerJumps_WhenSpaceIsPressed() + { + // Arrange + var player = new GameObject().AddComponent(); + var initialY = player.transform.position.y; + + // Act + // Simulate pressing the jump button (requires setting up the input system for tests) + // For simplicity, we'll call a public method here. + // player.Jump(); + + // Wait for a few physics frames + yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f); + + // Assert + Assert.Greater(player.transform.position.y, initialY); + } +} +``` + +## File Organization + +### Project Structure + +``` +Assets/ +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Scenes/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ MainMenu.unity +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Level01.unity +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Scripts/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Core/ +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ GameManager.cs +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ AudioManager.cs +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Player/ +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ PlayerController.cs +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ PlayerHealth.cs +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Editor/ +โ”‚ โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ CustomInspectors.cs +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Data/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ EnemyData.cs +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Prefabs/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Player.prefab +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Enemies/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Slime.prefab +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Art/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Sprites/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ Animations/ +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Audio/ +โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ Music/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ SFX/ +โ”œโ”€โ”€ Data/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ ScriptableObjects/ +โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ EnemyData/ +โ””โ”€โ”€ Tests/ + โ”œโ”€โ”€ EditMode/ + โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ HealthSystemTests.cs + โ””โ”€โ”€ PlayMode/ + โ””โ”€โ”€ PlayerJumpTest.cs +``` + +## Development Workflow + +### Story Implementation Process + +1. **Read Story Requirements:** + + - Understand acceptance criteria + - Identify technical requirements + - Review performance constraints + +2. **Plan Implementation:** + + - Identify files to create/modify + - Consider Unity's component-based architecture + - Plan testing approach + +3. **Implement Feature:** + + - Write clean C# code following all guidelines + - Use established patterns + - Maintain stable FPS performance + +4. **Test Implementation:** + + - Write edit mode tests for game logic + - Write play mode tests for integration testing + - Test cross-platform functionality + - Validate performance targets + +5. **Update Documentation:** + - Mark story checkboxes complete + - Document any deviations + - Update architecture if needed + +### Code Review Checklist + +- [ ] C# code compiles without errors or warnings. +- [ ] All automated tests pass. +- [ ] Code follows naming conventions and architectural patterns. +- [ ] No expensive operations in `Update()` loops. +- [ ] Public fields/methods are documented with comments. +- [ ] New assets are organized into the correct folders. + +## Performance Targets + +### Frame Rate Requirements + +- **PC/Console**: Maintain a stable 60+ FPS. +- **Mobile**: Maintain 60 FPS on mid-range devices, minimum 30 FPS on low-end. +- **Optimization**: Use the Unity Profiler to identify and fix performance drops. + +### Memory Management + +- **Total Memory**: Keep builds under platform-specific limits (e.g., 200MB for a simple mobile game). +- **Garbage Collection**: Minimize GC spikes by avoiding string concatenation, `new` keyword usage in loops, and by pooling objects. + +### Loading Performance + +- **Initial Load**: Under 5 seconds for game start. +- **Scene Transitions**: Under 2 seconds between scenes.

Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) + +- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) +- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies +- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use +- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context + +#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) + +- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes +- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) +- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments + +#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) + +- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types +- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development +- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions + +#### 4. Reusable Resources + +- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories +- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" +- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review +- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences + +### Dual Environment Architecture + +#### IDE Environment + +- Users interact directly with agent markdown files +- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically +- Supports real-time file operations and project integration +- Optimized for development workflow execution + +#### Web UI Environment + +- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent +- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team +- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces +- Provides complete context in one package + +### Template Processing System + +BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: + +1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates +2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output +3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming + +### Technical Preferences Integration + +The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: + +- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects +- Eliminates repetitive technology specification +- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences +- Evolves over time with lessons learned + +### Build and Delivery Process + +The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: + +1. Reading agent or team definition files +2. Recursively resolving all dependencies +3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators +4.

Especially Gemini!) + +**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** + +**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: + +1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis + +**For All Projects**: + +1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis +2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) +3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements +4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation +5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency +6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` + +#### Example Planning Prompts + +**For PRD Creation**: + +```text +"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. +Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." +``` + +**For Architecture Design**: + +```text +"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture +that can handle [specific requirements]." +``` + +### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE + +**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** + +- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding +- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks +- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project + +### IDE Development Workflow + +**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder + +1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): + -

Story Creation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ Select powerful model โ†’ `@sm` โ†’ `*create` + - SM executes create-next-story task + - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` + - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" + + **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@dev` + - Agent asks which story to implement + - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time + - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion + - Dev maintains File List of all changes + - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing + + **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@qa` โ†’ execute review-story task + - QA performs senior developer code review + - QA can refactor and improve code directly + - QA appends results to story's QA Results section + - If approved: Status โ†’ "Done" + - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev + + **Step 4 -

To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: + +1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. + +2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? + +3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: + - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' + - 'Refactoring the authentication module' + - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' + +4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) + +Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." + +Based on their response: + +- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation +- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below + +Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project.

(junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) +- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) + +### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis + +CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: + +1. **Explore Key Areas**: + - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) + - Configuration files and environment setup + - Package dependencies and versions + - Build and deployment configurations + - Test suites and coverage + +2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: + - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" + - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" + - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" + - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" + - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" + +3. **Map the Reality**: + - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) + - Find where key business logic lives + - Locate integration points and external dependencies + - Document workarounds and technical debt + - Note areas that differ from standard patterns + +**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement + +### 3.

Initial Setup & Mode Selection + +- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** + - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. + - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. + - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `.bmad-core/checklists/change-checklist`. +- **Establish Interaction Mode:** + - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: + - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the change-checklist section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." + - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." + - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode and then inform the user: "We will now use the change-checklist to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." + +### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) + +- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the change-checklist (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). +- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): + - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. + - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. + - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. + - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. + - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. + +### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) + +- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): + - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). + - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: + - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. + - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. + - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). + - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. + - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). + - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. + - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. + +### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits + +- Synthesize the complete change-checklist analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the change-checklist. +- The proposal must clearly present: + - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. + - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). +- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. + +### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps + +- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. +- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. +- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** + - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. + - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. + +## Output Deliverables + +- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: + - A summary of the change-checklist analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). + - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. +- **Implicit:** An annotated change-checklist (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/correct-course.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/brownfield-create-epic.md ==================== +# Create Brownfield Epic Task + +## Purpose + +Create a single epic for smaller brownfield enhancements that don't require the full PRD and Architecture documentation process.

Core Prompting Principles + +Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code. + +- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. +- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. +- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. +- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. + +### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework + +To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. + +1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. + - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ +2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. + - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ +3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. + - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ +4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. + - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ + +### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt + +You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. + +1. **Gather Foundational Context**: + - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. +2. **Describe the Visuals**: + - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. + - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). +3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: + - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. +4. **Present and Refine**: + - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). + - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. + - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/generate-ai-frontend-prompt.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/templates/front-end-spec-tmpl.yaml ==================== +template: + id: frontend-spec-template-v2 + name: UI/UX Specification + version: 2.0 + output: + format: markdown + filename: docs/front-end-spec.md + title: "{{project_name}} UI/UX Specification" + +workflow: + mode: interactive + elicitation: advanced-elicitation + +sections: + - id: introduction + title: Introduction + instruction: | + Review provided documents including Project Brief, PRD, and any user research to gather context.

This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). + +### Key Architectural Components + +#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) + +- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) +- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies +- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use +- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context + +#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) + +- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes +- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) +- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments + +#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) + +- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types +- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development +- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions + +#### 4. Reusable Resources + +- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories +- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" +- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review +- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences + +### Dual Environment Architecture + +#### IDE Environment + +- Users interact directly with agent markdown files +- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically +- Supports real-time file operations and project integration +- Optimized for development workflow execution + +#### Web UI Environment + +- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent +- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team +- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces +- Provides complete context in one package + +### Template Processing System + +BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: + +1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates +2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output +3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming + +### Technical Preferences Integration + +The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: + +- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects +- Eliminates repetitive technology specification +- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences +- Evolves over time with lessons learned + +### Build and Delivery Process + +The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: + +1. Reading agent or team definition files +2. Recursively resolving all dependencies +3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators +4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces + +This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. + +## Complete Development Workflow + +### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) + +**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** + +**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: + +1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis + +**For All Projects**: + +1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis +2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) +3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements +4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation +5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency +6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` + +#### Example Planning Prompts + +**For PRD Creation**: + +```text +"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. +Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." +``` + +**For Architecture Design**: + +```text +"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture +that can handle [specific requirements]." +``` + +### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE + +**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** + +- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding +- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks +- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project + +### IDE Development Workflow + +**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder + +1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): + - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development + - Two methods to shard: + a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat + b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents + - Shards `docs/prd.md` โ†’ `docs/prd/` folder + - Shards `docs/architecture.md` โ†’ `docs/architecture/` folder + - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! + +2. **Verify Sharded Content**: + - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order + - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference + - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation + +Resulting Folder Structure: + +- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections +- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections +- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories + +1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): + + **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: + - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows + - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation + - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** + + **Step 1 - Story Creation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ Select powerful model โ†’ `@sm` โ†’ `*create` + - SM executes create-next-story task + - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` + - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" + + **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@dev` + - Agent asks which story to implement + - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time + - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion + - Dev maintains File List of all changes + - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing + + **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@qa` โ†’ execute review-story task + - QA performs senior developer code review + - QA can refactor and improve code directly + - QA appends results to story's QA Results section + - If approved: Status โ†’ "Done" + - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev + + **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM โ†’ Dev โ†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete + +**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. + +### Status Tracking Workflow + +Stories progress through defined statuses: + +- **Draft** โ†’ **Approved** โ†’ **InProgress** โ†’ **Done** + +Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. + +### Workflow Types + +#### Greenfield Development + +- Business analysis and market research +- Product requirements and feature definition +- System architecture and design +- Development execution +- Testing and deployment + +#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) + +**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. + +**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: + +**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` +3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` + - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided + - Choose "single document" format for Web UI + - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas + - Creates one comprehensive markdown file + - Avoids bloating docs with unused code + +**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** +2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` + - More thorough but can create excessive documentation + +4. **Requirements Gathering**: + - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` + - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points + - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment + - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes + +5. **Architecture Planning**: + - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` + -

This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase. + +## Task Instructions + +### 1. Initial Project Analysis + +**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. + +**IF PRD EXISTS**: + +- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned +- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected +- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas +- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean + +**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: +Ask the user: + +"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: + +1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. + +2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? + +3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: + - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' + - 'Refactoring the authentication module' + - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' + +4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) + +Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." + +Based on their response: + +- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation +- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below + +Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: + +1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization +2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies +3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands +4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation +5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches + +Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: + +- What is the primary purpose of this project? +- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? +- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) +- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? +- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) +- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) + +### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis + +CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: + +1. **Explore Key Areas**: + - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) + - Configuration files and environment setup + - Package dependencies and versions + - Build and deployment configurations + - Test suites and coverage + +2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: + - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" + - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" + - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" + - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" + - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" + +3. **Map the Reality**: + - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) + - Find where key business logic lives + - Locate integration points and external dependencies + - Document workarounds and technical debt + - Note areas that differ from standard patterns + +**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement + +### 3.

Initial Setup & Mode Selection + +- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** + - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. + - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. + - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `.bmad-core/checklists/change-checklist`. +- **Establish Interaction Mode:** + - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: + - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the change-checklist section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." + - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." + - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode and then inform the user: "We will now use the change-checklist to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." + +### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) + +- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the change-checklist (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). +- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): + - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. + - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. + - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. + - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. + - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. + +### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) + +- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): + - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). + - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: + - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. + - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. + - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). + - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. + - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). + - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. + - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. + +### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits + +- Synthesize the complete change-checklist analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the change-checklist. +- The proposal must clearly present: + - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. + - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). +- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. + +### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps + +- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. +- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. +- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** + - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. + - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. + +## Output Deliverables + +- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: + - A summary of the change-checklist analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). + - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. +- **Implicit:** An annotated change-checklist (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/correct-course.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/brownfield-create-epic.md ==================== +# Create Brownfield Epic Task + +## Purpose + +Create a single epic for smaller brownfield enhancements that don't require the full PRD and Architecture documentation process.

Core Prompting Principles + +Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code. + +- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. +- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. +- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. +- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. + +### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework + +To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. + +1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. + - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ +2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. + - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ +3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. + - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ +4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. + - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ + +### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt + +You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. + +1. **Gather Foundational Context**: + - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. +2. **Describe the Visuals**: + - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. + - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). +3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: + - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. +4. **Present and Refine**: + - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). + - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. + - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/generate-ai-frontend-prompt.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/templates/front-end-spec-tmpl.yaml ==================== +template: + id: frontend-spec-template-v2 + name: UI/UX Specification + version: 2.0 + output: + format: markdown + filename: docs/front-end-spec.md + title: "{{project_name}} UI/UX Specification" + +workflow: + mode: interactive + elicitation: advanced-elicitation + +sections: + - id: introduction + title: Introduction + instruction: | + Review provided documents including Project Brief, PRD, and any user research to gather context.

This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). + +### Key Architectural Components + +#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) + +- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) +- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies +- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use +- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context + +#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) + +- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes +- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) +- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments + +#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) + +- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types +- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development +- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions + +#### 4. Reusable Resources + +- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories +- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" +- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review +- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences + +### Dual Environment Architecture + +#### IDE Environment + +- Users interact directly with agent markdown files +- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically +- Supports real-time file operations and project integration +- Optimized for development workflow execution + +#### Web UI Environment + +- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent +- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team +- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces +- Provides complete context in one package + +### Template Processing System + +BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: + +1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates +2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output +3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming + +### Technical Preferences Integration + +The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: + +- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects +- Eliminates repetitive technology specification +- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences +- Evolves over time with lessons learned + +### Build and Delivery Process + +The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: + +1. Reading agent or team definition files +2. Recursively resolving all dependencies +3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators +4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces + +This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. + +## Complete Development Workflow + +### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) + +**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** + +**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: + +1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis + +**For All Projects**: + +1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis +2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) +3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements +4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation +5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency +6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` + +#### Example Planning Prompts + +**For PRD Creation**: + +```text +"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. +Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." +``` + +**For Architecture Design**: + +```text +"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture +that can handle [specific requirements]." +``` + +### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE + +**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** + +- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding +- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks +- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project + +### IDE Development Workflow + +**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder + +1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): + - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development + - Two methods to shard: + a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat + b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents + - Shards `docs/prd.md` โ†’ `docs/prd/` folder + - Shards `docs/architecture.md` โ†’ `docs/architecture/` folder + - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! + +2. **Verify Sharded Content**: + - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order + - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference + - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation + +Resulting Folder Structure: + +- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections +- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections +- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories + +1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): + + **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: + - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows + - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation + - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** + + **Step 1 - Story Creation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ Select powerful model โ†’ `@sm` โ†’ `*create` + - SM executes create-next-story task + - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` + - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" + + **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@dev` + - Agent asks which story to implement + - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time + - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion + - Dev maintains File List of all changes + - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing + + **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@qa` โ†’ execute review-story task + - QA performs senior developer code review + - QA can refactor and improve code directly + - QA appends results to story's QA Results section + - If approved: Status โ†’ "Done" + - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev + + **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM โ†’ Dev โ†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete + +**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. + +### Status Tracking Workflow + +Stories progress through defined statuses: + +- **Draft** โ†’ **Approved** โ†’ **InProgress** โ†’ **Done** + +Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. + +### Workflow Types + +#### Greenfield Development + +- Business analysis and market research +- Product requirements and feature definition +- System architecture and design +- Development execution +- Testing and deployment + +#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) + +**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. + +**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: + +**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` +3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` + - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided + - Choose "single document" format for Web UI + - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas + - Creates one comprehensive markdown file + - Avoids bloating docs with unused code + +**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** +2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` + - More thorough but can create excessive documentation + +4. **Requirements Gathering**: + - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` + - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points + -

Finalize & Determine Next Steps + +- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. +- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. +- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** + - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. + - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. + +## Output Deliverables + +- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format).

Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) + +- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) +- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies +- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use +- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context + +#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) + +- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes +- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) +- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments + +#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) + +- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types +- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development +- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions + +#### 4. Reusable Resources + +- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories +- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" +- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review +- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences + +### Dual Environment Architecture + +#### IDE Environment + +- Users interact directly with agent markdown files +- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically +- Supports real-time file operations and project integration +- Optimized for development workflow execution + +#### Web UI Environment + +- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent +- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team +- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces +- Provides complete context in one package + +### Template Processing System + +BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: + +1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates +2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output +3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming + +### Technical Preferences Integration + +The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: + +- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects +- Eliminates repetitive technology specification +- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences +- Evolves over time with lessons learned + +### Build and Delivery Process + +The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: + +1. Reading agent or team definition files +2. Recursively resolving all dependencies +3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators +4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces + +This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. + +## Complete Development Workflow + +### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) + +**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** + +**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: + +1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis + +**For All Projects**: + +1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis +2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) +3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements +4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation +5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency +6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` + +#### Example Planning Prompts + +**For PRD Creation**: + +```text +"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. +Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." +``` + +**For Architecture Design**: + +```text +"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture +that can handle [specific requirements]." +``` + +### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE + +**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** + +- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding +- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks +- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project + +### IDE Development Workflow + +**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder + +1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): + - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development + - Two methods to shard: + a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat + b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents + - Shards `docs/prd.md` โ†’ `docs/prd/` folder + - Shards `docs/architecture.md` โ†’ `docs/architecture/` folder + - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! + +2. **Verify Sharded Content**: + - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order + - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference + - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation + +Resulting Folder Structure: + +- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections +- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections +- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories + +1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): + + **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: + - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows + - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation + - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** + + **Step 1 - Story Creation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ Select powerful model โ†’ `@sm` โ†’ `*create` + - SM executes create-next-story task + - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` + - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" + + **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@dev` + - Agent asks which story to implement + - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time + - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion + - Dev maintains File List of all changes + - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing + + **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: + - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** โ†’ `@qa` โ†’ execute review-story task + - QA performs senior developer code review + - QA can refactor and improve code directly + - QA appends results to story's QA Results section + - If approved: Status โ†’ "Done" + - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev + + **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM โ†’ Dev โ†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete + +**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. + +### Status Tracking Workflow + +Stories progress through defined statuses: + +- **Draft** โ†’ **Approved** โ†’ **InProgress** โ†’ **Done** + +Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. + +### Workflow Types + +#### Greenfield Development + +- Business analysis and market research +- Product requirements and feature definition +- System architecture and design +- Development execution +- Testing and deployment + +#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) + +**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. + +**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: + +**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) +2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` +3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` + - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided + - Choose "single document" format for Web UI + - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas + - Creates one comprehensive markdown file + - Avoids bloating docs with unused code + +**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: + +1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** +2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` โ†’ `*document-project` +3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` โ†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` + - More thorough but can create excessive documentation + +4. **Requirements Gathering**: + - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` + - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points + -

This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase. + +## Task Instructions + +### 1. Initial Project Analysis + +**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. + +**IF PRD EXISTS**: + +- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned +- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected +- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas +- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean + +**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: +Ask the user: + +"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: + +1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. + +2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? + +3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: + - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' + - 'Refactoring the authentication module' + - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' + +4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) + +Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." + +Based on their response: + +- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation +- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below + +Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: + +1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization +2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies +3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands +4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation +5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches + +Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: + +- What is the primary purpose of this project? +- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? +- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) +- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? +- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) +- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) + +### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis + +CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: + +1. **Explore Key Areas**: + - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) + - Configuration files and environment setup + - Package dependencies and versions + - Build and deployment configurations + - Test suites and coverage + +2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: + - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" + - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" + - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" + - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" + - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" + +3. **Map the Reality**: + - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) + - Find where key business logic lives + - Locate integration points and external dependencies + - Document workarounds and technical debt + - Note areas that differ from standard patterns + +**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement + +### 3. Core Documentation Generation + +[[LLM: Generate a comprehensive BROWNFIELD architecture document that reflects the ACTUAL state of the codebase. + +**CRITICAL**: This is NOT an aspirational architecture document.

Initial Setup & Mode Selection + +- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** + - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. + - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. + - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `.bmad-core/checklists/change-checklist`. +- **Establish Interaction Mode:** + - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: + - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the change-checklist section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." + - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." + - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode and then inform the user: "We will now use the change-checklist to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." + +### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) + +- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the change-checklist (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). +- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): + - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. + - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. + - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. + - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. + - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. + +### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) + +- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): + - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). + - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: + - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. + - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. + - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). + - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. + - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). + - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. + - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. + +### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits + +- Synthesize the complete change-checklist analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the change-checklist. +- The proposal must clearly present: + - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. + - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). +- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. + +### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps + +- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. +- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. +- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** + - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. + - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. + +## Output Deliverables + +- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: + - A summary of the change-checklist analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). + - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. +- **Implicit:** An annotated change-checklist (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. +==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/correct-course.md ==================== + +==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/brownfield-create-epic.md ==================== +# Create Brownfield Epic Task + +## Purpose + +Create a single epic for smaller brownfield enhancements that don't require the full PRD and Architecture documentation process.
