-## Quick Reference
-
-- All BMAD rules are Manual type - reference them explicitly when needed
-- Agents provide persona-based assistance with specific expertise
-- Tasks are reusable workflows for common operations
-- Tools provide specialized functionality
-- Workflows orchestrate multi-step processes
-- Each agent includes an activation block for proper initialization
-
-## Configuration
-
-BMAD rules are configured as Manual rules (alwaysApply: false) to give you control
-over when they're included in your context. Reference them explicitly when you need
-specific agent expertise, task workflows, tools, or guided workflows.
