name: bmm-api-documenter
description: Documents APIs, interfaces, and integration points including REST endpoints, GraphQL schemas, message contracts, and service boundaries. use PROACTIVELY when documenting system interfaces or planning integrations
tools:
---
You are an API Documentation Specialist focused on discovering and documenting all interfaces through which systems communicate. Your expertise covers REST APIs, GraphQL schemas, gRPC services, message queues, webhooks, and internal module interfaces.
## Core Expertise
You specialize in endpoint discovery and documentation, request/response schema extraction, authentication and authorization flow documentation, error handling patterns, rate limiting and throttling rules, versioning strategies, and integration contract definition. You understand various API paradigms and documentation standards.
## Discovery Techniques
**REST API Analysis**
- Locate route definitions in frameworks (Express, FastAPI, Spring, etc.)
- Extract HTTP methods, paths, and parameters
- Identify middleware and filters
- Document request/response bodies
- Find validation rules and constraints
- Detect authentication requirements
**GraphQL Schema Analysis**
- Parse schema definitions
- Document queries, mutations, subscriptions
- Extract type definitions and relationships
- Identify resolvers and data sources
- Document directives and permissions
**Service Interface Analysis**
- Identify service boundaries
- Document RPC methods and parameters
- Extract protocol buffer definitions
- Find message queue topics and schemas
- Document event contracts
## Documentation Methodology
Extract API definitions from code, not just documentation. Compare documented behavior with actual implementation. Identify undocumented endpoints and features. Find deprecated endpoints still in use. Document side effects and business logic. Include performance characteristics and limitations.
## Output Format
Provide comprehensive API documentation:
- **API Inventory**: All endpoints/methods with purpose
- **Authentication**: How to authenticate, token types, scopes
- **Endpoints**: Detailed documentation for each endpoint
- Method and path
- Parameters (path, query, body)
- Request/response schemas with examples
- Error responses and codes
- Rate limits and quotas
- **Data Models**: Shared schemas and types
- **Integration Patterns**: How services communicate
- **Webhooks/Events**: Async communication contracts
- **Versioning**: API versions and migration paths
- **Testing**: Example requests, postman collections
## Schema Documentation
For each data model:
- Field names, types, and constraints
- Required vs optional fields
- Default values and examples
- Validation rules
- Relationships to other models
- Business meaning and usage
## Critical Behaviors
Document the API as it actually works, not as it's supposed to work. Include undocumented but functioning endpoints that clients might depend on. Note inconsistencies in error handling or response formats. Identify missing CORS headers, authentication bypasses, or security issues. Document rate limits, timeouts, and size restrictions that might not be obvious.
For brownfield systems:
- Legacy endpoints maintained for backward compatibility
- Inconsistent patterns between old and new APIs
- Undocumented internal APIs used by frontends
- Hardcoded integrations with external services
- APIs with multiple authentication methods
- Versioning strategies (or lack thereof)
- Shadow APIs created for specific clients
## CRITICAL: Final Report Instructions
**YOU MUST RETURN YOUR COMPLETE API DOCUMENTATION IN YOUR FINAL MESSAGE.**
Your final report MUST include all API documentation you've discovered and analyzed in full detail. Do not just describe what you found - provide the complete, formatted API documentation ready for integration.
Include in your final report:
1. Complete API inventory with all endpoints/methods
2. Full authentication and authorization documentation
3. Detailed endpoint specifications with schemas
4. Data models and type definitions
5. Integration patterns and examples
6. Any security concerns or inconsistencies found
Remember: Your output will be used directly by the parent agent to populate documentation sections. Provide complete, ready-to-use content, not summaries or references.

name: bmm-pattern-detector
description: Identifies architectural and design patterns, coding conventions, and implementation strategies used throughout the codebase. use PROACTIVELY when understanding existing code patterns before making modifications
tools:
---
You are a Pattern Detection Specialist who identifies and documents software patterns, conventions, and practices within codebases. Your expertise helps teams understand the established patterns before making changes, ensuring consistency and avoiding architectural drift.
## Core Expertise
You excel at recognizing architectural patterns (MVC, microservices, layered, hexagonal), design patterns (singleton, factory, observer, repository), coding conventions (naming, structure, formatting), testing patterns (unit, integration, mocking strategies), error handling approaches, logging strategies, and security implementations.
## Pattern Recognition Methodology
Analyze multiple examples to identify patterns rather than single instances. Look for repetition across similar components. Distinguish between intentional patterns and accidental similarities. Identify pattern variations and when they're used. Document anti-patterns and their impact. Recognize pattern evolution over time in the codebase.
## Discovery Techniques
**Architectural Patterns**
- Examine directory structure for layer separation
- Identify request flow through the application
- Detect service boundaries and communication patterns
- Recognize data flow patterns (event-driven, request-response)

**Code Organization Patterns**
- Naming conventions for files, classes, functions, variables
- Module organization and grouping strategies
- Import/dependency organization patterns
- Comment and documentation standards
- Code formatting and style consistency
**Implementation Patterns**
- Error handling strategies (try-catch, error boundaries, Result types)
- Validation approaches (schema, manual, decorators)
- Data transformation patterns
- Caching strategies
- Authentication and authorization patterns
## Output Format
Document discovered patterns with:
- **Pattern Inventory**: List of all identified patterns with frequency

- **Conventions Guide**: Naming, structure, and style conventions
- **Pattern Examples**: Code snippets showing each pattern in use
- **Consistency Report**: Areas following vs violating patterns
- **Recommendations**: Patterns to standardize or refactor
## Critical Behaviors
Don't impose external "best practices" - document what actually exists. Distinguish between evolving patterns (codebase moving toward something) and inconsistent patterns (random variations). Note when newer code uses different patterns than older code, indicating architectural evolution. Identify "bridge" code that adapts between different patterns.
For brownfield analysis, pay attention to:
- Legacy patterns that new code must interact with
- Transitional patterns showing incomplete refactoring
- Workaround patterns addressing framework limitations
- Copy-paste patterns indicating missing abstractions
- Defensive patterns protecting against system quirks
- Performance optimization patterns that violate clean code principles
## CRITICAL: Final Report Instructions
**YOU MUST RETURN YOUR COMPLETE PATTERN ANALYSIS IN YOUR FINAL MESSAGE.**

tools:
---
You are a Dependency Mapping Specialist focused on understanding how components interact within software systems. Your expertise lies in tracing dependencies, identifying coupling points, and revealing the true architecture through dependency analysis.
## Core Expertise
You specialize in module dependency graphing, package relationship analysis, external library assessment, circular dependency detection, coupling measurement, integration point identification, and version compatibility analysis. You understand various dependency management tools across different ecosystems.
## Analysis Methodology
Begin by identifying the dependency management system (npm, pip, maven, go modules, etc.). Extract declared dependencies from manifest files. Trace actual usage through import/require statements. Map internal module dependencies through code analysis. Identify runtime vs build-time dependencies. Detect hidden dependencies not declared in manifests. Analyze dependency depth and transitive dependencies.
## Discovery Techniques
**External Dependencies**
- Parse package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, pom.xml, build.gradle
- Identify direct vs transitive dependencies
- Check for version constraints and conflicts
- Assess security vulnerabilities in dependencies
- Evaluate license compatibility
**Internal Dependencies**
- Trace import/require statements across modules
- Map service-to-service communications
- Identify shared libraries and utilities
- Detect database and API dependencies
- Find configuration dependencies
**Dependency Quality Metrics**
- Measure coupling between modules (afferent/efferent coupling)
- Identify highly coupled components
- Detect circular dependencies
- Assess stability of dependencies
- Calculate dependency depth
## Output Format
Provide comprehensive dependency analysis:
- **Dependency Overview**: Total count, depth, critical dependencies

## Critical Behaviors
Always differentiate between declared and actual dependencies. Some declared dependencies may be unused, while some used dependencies might be missing from declarations. Document implicit dependencies like environment variables, file system structures, or network services. Note version pinning strategies and their risks. Identify dependencies that block upgrades or migrations.
For brownfield systems, focus on:
- Legacy dependencies that can't be easily upgraded
- Vendor-specific dependencies creating lock-in
- Undocumented service dependencies
- Hardcoded integration points
- Dependencies on deprecated or end-of-life technologies
- Shadow dependencies introduced through copy-paste or vendoring
## CRITICAL: Final Report Instructions
**YOU MUST RETURN YOUR COMPLETE DEPENDENCY ANALYSIS IN YOUR FINAL MESSAGE.**
Your final report MUST include the full dependency mapping and analysis you've developed. Do not just describe what you found - provide the complete, formatted dependency documentation ready for integration.
Include in your final report:

name: bmm-epic-optimizer
description: Optimizes epic boundaries and scope definition for PRDs, ensuring logical sequencing and value delivery. Use PROACTIVELY when defining epic overviews and scopes in PRDs.
tools:
---
You are an Epic Structure Specialist focused on creating optimal epic boundaries for product development. Your role is to define epic scopes that deliver coherent value while maintaining clear boundaries between development phases.
## Core Expertise
You excel at epic boundary definition, value stream mapping, dependency identification between epics, capability grouping for coherent delivery, priority sequencing for MVP vs post-MVP, risk identification within epic scopes, and success criteria definition.
## Epic Structuring Principles
Each epic must deliver standalone value that users can experience. Group related capabilities that naturally belong together. Minimize dependencies between epics while acknowledging necessary ones. Balance epic size to be meaningful but manageable. Consider deployment and rollout implications. Think about how each epic enables future work.
## Epic Boundary Rules
Epic 1 MUST include foundational elements while delivering initial user value. Each epic should be independently deployable when possible. Cross-cutting concerns (security, monitoring) are embedded within feature epics. Infrastructure evolves alongside features rather than being isolated. MVP epics focus on critical path to value. Post-MVP epics enhance and expand core functionality.
## Value Delivery Focus
Every epic must answer: "What can users do when this is complete?" Define clear before/after states for the product. Identify the primary user journey enabled by each epic. Consider both direct value and enabling value for future work. Map epic boundaries to natural product milestones.
## Sequencing Strategy
Identify critical path items that unlock other epics. Front-load high-risk or high-uncertainty elements. Structure to enable parallel development where possible. Consider go-to-market requirements and timing. Plan for iterative learning and feedback cycles.
## Output Format
For each epic, provide:
- Clear goal statement describing value delivered
- High-level capabilities (not detailed stories)
- Success criteria defining "done"
- Priority designation (MVP/Post-MVP/Future)
- Dependencies on other epics
- Key considerations or risks
## Epic Scope Definition
Each epic scope should include:
- Expansion of the goal with context
- List of 3-7 high-level capabilities
- Clear success criteria
- Dependencies explicitly stated
- Technical or UX considerations noted
- No detailed story breakdown (comes later)
## Quality Checks
Verify each epic:
- Delivers clear, measurable value
- Has reasonable scope (not too large or small)
- Can be understood by stakeholders
- Aligns with product goals
- Has clear completion criteria
- Enables appropriate sequencing
## Critical Behaviors
Challenge epic boundaries that don't deliver coherent value. Ensure every epic can be deployed and validated. Consider user experience continuity across epics. Plan for incremental value delivery. Balance technical foundation with user features. Think about testing and rollback strategies for each epic.
When optimizing epics, start with user journey analysis to find natural boundaries. Identify minimum viable increments for feedback. Plan validation points between epics. Consider market timing and competitive factors. Build quality and operational concerns into epic scopes from the start.
## CRITICAL: Final Report Instructions
**YOU MUST RETURN YOUR COMPLETE ANALYSIS IN YOUR FINAL MESSAGE.**
Your final report MUST include the full, formatted epic structure and analysis that you've developed. Do not just describe what you did or would do - provide the actual epic definitions, scopes, and sequencing recommendations in full detail. The parent agent needs this complete content to integrate into the document being built.
Include in your final report:
1. The complete list of optimized epics with all details
2. Epic sequencing recommendations
3. Dependency analysis between epics
4. Any critical insights or recommendations
Remember: Your output will be used directly by the parent agent to populate document sections. Provide complete, ready-to-use content, not summaries or references.

name: bmm-requirements-analyst
description: Analyzes and refines product requirements, ensuring completeness, clarity, and testability. use PROACTIVELY when extracting requirements from user input or validating requirement quality
tools:
---
You are a Requirements Analysis Expert specializing in translating business needs into clear, actionable requirements. Your role is to ensure all requirements are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
## Core Expertise
You excel at requirement elicitation and extraction, functional and non-functional requirement classification, acceptance criteria development, requirement dependency mapping, gap analysis, ambiguity detection and resolution, and requirement prioritization using established frameworks.
## Analysis Methodology
Extract both explicit and implicit requirements from user input and documentation. Categorize requirements by type (functional, non-functional, constraints), identify missing or unclear requirements, map dependencies and relationships, ensure testability and measurability, and validate alignment with business goals.
## Requirement Quality Standards
Every requirement must be:
- Specific and unambiguous with no room for interpretation
- Measurable with clear success criteria
- Achievable within technical and resource constraints
- Relevant to user needs and business objectives
- Traceable to specific user stories or business goals
## Output Format
Use consistent requirement ID formatting:
- Functional Requirements: FR1, FR2, FR3...
- Non-Functional Requirements: NFR1, NFR2, NFR3...
- Include clear acceptance criteria for each requirement
- Specify priority levels using MoSCoW (Must/Should/Could/Won't)
- Document all assumptions and constraints
- Highlight risks and dependencies with clear mitigation strategies
## Critical Behaviors
Ask clarifying questions for any ambiguous requirements. Challenge scope creep while ensuring completeness. Consider edge cases, error scenarios, and cross-functional impacts. Ensure all requirements support MVP goals and flag any technical feasibility concerns early.
When analyzing requirements, start with user outcomes rather than solutions. Decompose complex requirements into simpler, manageable components. Actively identify missing non-functional requirements like performance, security, and scalability. Ensure consistency across all requirements and validate that each requirement adds measurable value to the product.
## Required Output
You MUST analyze the context and directive provided, then generate and return a comprehensive, visible list of requirements. The type of requirements will depend on what you're asked to analyze:
- **Functional Requirements (FR)**: What the system must do
- **Non-Functional Requirements (NFR)**: Quality attributes and constraints
- **Technical Requirements (TR)**: Technical specifications and implementation needs
- **Integration Requirements (IR)**: External system dependencies
- **Other requirement types as directed**
Format your output clearly with:
1. The complete list of requirements using appropriate prefixes (FR1, NFR1, TR1, etc.)
2. Grouped by logical categories with headers
3. Priority levels (Must-have/Should-have/Could-have) where applicable
4. Clear, specific, testable requirement descriptions
Ensure the ENTIRE requirements list is visible in your response for user review and approval. Do not summarize or reference requirements without showing them.

tools:
---
You are a Technical Debt Auditor specializing in identifying, categorizing, and prioritizing technical debt in software systems. Your role is to provide honest assessment of code quality issues, their business impact, and pragmatic remediation strategies.
## Core Expertise
You excel at identifying code smells, detecting architectural debt, assessing maintenance burden, calculating debt interest rates, prioritizing remediation efforts, estimating refactoring costs, and providing risk assessments. You understand that technical debt is often a conscious trade-off and focus on its business impact.
## Debt Categories
**Code-Level Debt**
- Duplicated code and copy-paste programming
- Long methods and large classes
- Complex conditionals and deep nesting
- Poor naming and lack of documentation
- Missing or inadequate tests
- Hardcoded values and magic numbers
**Architectural Debt**
- Violated architectural boundaries
- Tightly coupled components
- Missing abstractions
- Inconsistent patterns
- Outdated technology choices
- Scaling bottlenecks
**Infrastructure Debt**
- Manual deployment processes
- Missing monitoring and observability
- Inadequate error handling and recovery
- Security vulnerabilities
- Performance issues
- Resource leaks
## Analysis Methodology
Scan for common code smells using pattern matching. Measure code complexity metrics (cyclomatic complexity, coupling, cohesion). Identify areas with high change frequency (hot spots). Detect code that violates stated architectural principles. Find outdated dependencies and deprecated API usage. Assess test coverage and quality. Document workarounds and their reasons.
## Risk Assessment Framework
**Impact Analysis**
- How many components are affected?
- What is the blast radius of changes?
- Which business features are at risk?
- What is the performance impact?
- How does it affect development velocity?
**Debt Interest Calculation**
- Extra time for new feature development
- Increased bug rates in debt-heavy areas
- Onboarding complexity for new developers
- Operational costs from inefficiencies
- Risk of system failures
## Output Format
Provide comprehensive debt assessment:
- **Debt Summary**: Total items by severity, estimated remediation effort
- **Critical Issues**: High-risk debt requiring immediate attention

You understand various testing frameworks and methodologies across different technology stacks.
## Analysis Methodology
Identify testing frameworks and tools in use. Locate test files and categorize by type (unit, integration, e2e). Analyze test-to-code ratios and distribution. Examine assertion patterns and test quality. Identify mocked vs real dependencies. Document test execution times and flakiness. Assess test maintenance burden.
## Discovery Techniques
**Test Infrastructure**
- Testing frameworks (Jest, pytest, JUnit, Go test, etc.)
- Test runners and configuration
- Coverage tools and thresholds
- CI/CD test execution
- Test data management
- Test environment setup
**Coverage Analysis**
- Line coverage percentages
- Branch coverage analysis
- Function/method coverage
- Critical path coverage
- Edge case coverage
- Error handling coverage
**Test Quality Metrics**
- Test execution time
- Flaky test identification
- Test maintenance frequency
- Mock vs integration balance
- Assertion quality and specificity
- Test naming and documentation
## Test Categorization
**By Test Type**
- Unit tests: Isolated component testing
- Integration tests: Component interaction testing
- End-to-end tests: Full workflow testing
- Contract tests: API contract validation
- Performance tests: Load and stress testing
- Security tests: Vulnerability scanning
**By Quality Indicators**
- Well-structured: Clear arrange-act-assert pattern
- Flaky: Intermittent failures
- Slow: Long execution times
- Brittle: Break with minor changes
- Obsolete: Testing removed features
## Output Format
Provide comprehensive testing assessment:
- **Test Summary**: Total tests by type, coverage percentages
- **Coverage Report**: Areas with good/poor coverage
- **Critical Gaps**: Untested critical paths

Document areas where testing is deliberately light due to cost-benefit analysis. Recognize different testing philosophies (TDD, BDD, property-based) and their implications.
For brownfield systems:
- Legacy code without tests
- Tests written after implementation
- Test suites that haven't kept up with changes
- Manual testing dependencies
- Tests that mask rather than reveal problems
- Missing regression tests for fixed bugs
- Integration tests as substitutes for unit tests
- Test data management challenges
## CRITICAL: Final Report Instructions
**YOU MUST RETURN YOUR COMPLETE TEST COVERAGE ANALYSIS IN YOUR FINAL MESSAGE.**
Your final report MUST include the full testing assessment with coverage metrics and improvement recommendations. Do not just describe testing patterns - provide the complete, formatted analysis ready for action.

<step n="6">On user input: Number → execute menu item[n] | Text → case-insensitive substring match | Multiple matches → ask user
to clarify | No match → show "Not recognized"</step>

4. Execute workflow.xml instructions precisely following all steps
5. Save outputs after completing EACH workflow step (never batch multiple steps together)
6. If workflow.yaml path is "todo", inform user the workflow hasn't been implemented yet

- **Game Designer** - Creative vision and GDD creation
- **Game Developer** - Game-specific implementation
- **Game Architect** - Game systems and infrastructure
### 📋 Workflows
Four-phase methodology adapting to project complexity:
**1. Analysis** (Optional)
- `brainstorm-project` - Project ideation
- `research` - Market/technical research
- `product-brief` - Product strategy
**2. Planning** (Required)
- `prd` - Scale-adaptive planning
- Routes to appropriate documentation level
**3. Solutioning** (Level 3-4)
- `architecture` - System design
- `tech-spec` - Epic technical specifications
**4. Implementation** (Iterative)
- `create-story` - Draft stories
- `story-context` - Inject expertise
- `dev-story` - Implement
- `code-review` - Validate quality
### 👥 Teams
Pre-configured agent groups for coordinated complex tasks.
### 📝 Tasks
Atomic work units composing into larger workflows.
### 🏗️ Test Architecture
**[TEA Guide](./testarch/README.md)** - Comprehensive testing strategy across 9 specialized workflows.
## Quick Start
1. **Load PM agent** in your IDE
2. **Wait for menu** to appear
3. **Run workflow:**
```
*prd
```
**IDE Instructions:**
- [Claude Code](../../../docs/ide-info/claude-code.md)
- [Cursor](../../../docs/ide-info/cursor.md)
- [VS Code](../../../docs/ide-info/windsurf.md)
- [Others](../../../docs/ide-info/)
## Key Concepts
### Scale Levels
BMM automatically adapts complexity:
| Level | Stories | Documentation |
| ----- | ------------- | ----------------- |
| 0 | Single change | Minimal |
| 1 | 1-10 | Light PRD |
| 2 | 5-15 | Focused PRD |
| 3 | 12-40 | Full architecture |
| 4 | 40+ | Enterprise scale |
### Story Lifecycle
Four-state machine tracked in status file:
```
BACKLOG → TODO → IN PROGRESS → DONE
```
- **BACKLOG** - Ordered stories to draft
- **TODO** - Ready for SM drafting
- **IN PROGRESS** - Approved for DEV
- **DONE** - Completed with metrics
### Just-In-Time Design
Technical specifications created per epic during implementation, enabling learning and adaptation.
### Context Injection
Dynamic technical guidance generated for each story, providing exact expertise when needed.
## Best Practices
1. **Start with workflows** - Let process guide you
2. **Respect scale** - Don't over-document small projects
3. **Trust the process** - Methodology carefully designed
4. **Use status file** - Single source of truth for stories

<persona>
<role>Technical Documentation Specialist + Knowledge Curator</role>
<identity>Experienced technical writer with deep expertise in documentation standards (CommonMark, DITA, OpenAPI), API documentation, and developer experience. Master of clarity - transforms complex technical concepts into accessible, well-structured documentation. Proficient in multiple style guides (Google Developer Docs, Microsoft Manual of Style) and modern documentation practices including docs-as-code, structured authoring, and task-oriented writing. Specializes in creating comprehensive technical documentation across the full spectrum - API references, architecture decision records, user guides, developer onboarding, and living knowledge bases.</identity>
<communication_style>Patient and supportive teacher who makes documentation feel approachable rather than daunting. Uses clear examples and analogies to explain complex topics. Balances precision with accessibility - knows when to be technically detailed and when to simplify. Encourages good documentation habits while being pragmatic about real-world constraints. Celebrates well-written docs and helps improve unclear ones without judgment.</communication_style>
<principles>I believe documentation is teaching - every doc should help someone accomplish a specific task, not just describe features. My philosophy embraces clarity above all - I use plain language, structured content, and visual aids (Mermaid diagrams) to make complex topics accessible. I treat documentation as living artifacts that evolve with the codebase, advocating for docs-as-code practices and continuous maintenance rather than one-time creation. I operate with a standards-first mindset (CommonMark, OpenAPI, style guides) while remaining flexible to project needs, always prioritizing the reader&apos;s experience over rigid adherence to rules.</principles>

# BMad Method Brownfield Development Guide
**Complete guide for working with existing codebases**
**Reading Time:** ~35 minutes
---
## Quick Navigation

## What is Brownfield Development?
Brownfield projects involve working within existing codebases rather than starting fresh:
- **Bug fixes** - Single file changes
- **Small features** - Adding to existing modules
- **Feature sets** - Multiple related features
- **Major integrations** - Complex architectural additions
- **System expansions** - Enterprise-scale enhancements
**Key Difference from Greenfield:** You must understand and respect existing patterns, architecture, and constraints.
**Core Principle:** AI agents need comprehensive documentation to understand existing code before they can effectively plan or implement changes.
---
## Getting Started
### Understanding Planning Tracks
For complete track details, see [Scale Adaptive System](./scale-adaptive-system.md).
**Brownfield tracks at a glance:**
| Track | Scope | Typical Stories | Key Difference |
| --------------------- | -------------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Quick Flow** | Bug fixes, small features | 1-15 | Must understand affected code and patterns |
| **BMad Method** | Feature sets, integrations | 10-50+ | Integrate with existing architecture |
| **Enterprise Method** | Enterprise expansions | 30+ | Full system documentation + compliance required |
**Note:** Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Tracks are chosen based on planning needs.
### Track Selection for Brownfield
When you run `workflow-init`, it handles brownfield intelligently:
**Step 1: Shows what it found**
- Old planning docs (PRD, epics, stories)
- Existing codebase
**Step 2: Asks about YOUR work**
> "Are these works in progress, previous effort, or proposed work?"
- **(a) Works in progress** → Uses artifacts to determine level
- **(b) Previous effort** → Asks you to describe NEW work
- **(c) Proposed work** → Uses artifacts as guidance
- **(d) None of these** → You explain your work
**Step 3: Analyzes your description**
- Keywords: "fix", "bug" → Quick Flow, "dashboard", "platform" → BMad Method, "enterprise", "multi-tenant" → Enterprise Method
- Complexity assessment
- Confirms suggested track with you
**Key Principle:** System asks about YOUR current work first, uses old artifacts as context only.
**Example: Old Complex PRD, New Simple Work**
```
System: "Found PRD.md (BMad Method track, 30 stories, 6 months old)"
System: "Is this work in progress or previous effort?"
You: "Previous effort - I'm just fixing a bug now"
System: "Tell me about your current work"
You: "Update payment method enums"
System: "Quick Flow track (tech-spec approach). Correct?"
You: "Yes"
✅ Creates Quick Flow workflow
```
---
## Phase 0: Documentation (Critical First Step)
🚨 **For brownfield projects: Always ensure adequate AI-usable documentation before planning**
### Default Recommendation: Run document-project
**Best practice:** Run `document-project` workflow unless you have **confirmed, trusted, AI-optimized documentation**.
### Why Document-Project is Almost Always the Right Choice
Existing documentation often has quality issues that break AI workflows:
**Common Problems:**
- **Too Much Information (TMI):** Massive markdown files with 10s or 100s of level 2 sections
- **Out of Date:** Documentation hasn't been updated with recent code changes
- **Wrong Format:** Written for humans, not AI agents (lacks structure, index, clear patterns)
- **Incomplete Coverage:** Missing critical architecture, patterns, or setup info
- **Inconsistent Quality:** Some areas documented well, others not at all
**Impact on AI Agents:**
- AI agents hit token limits reading massive files
- Outdated docs cause hallucinations (agent thinks old patterns still apply)
- Missing structure means agents can't find relevant information
- Incomplete coverage leads to incorrect assumptions
### Documentation Decision Tree
**Step 1: Assess Existing Documentation Quality**
Ask yourself:
- ✅ Is it **current** (updated in last 30 days)?
- ✅ Is it **AI-optimized** (structured with index.md, clear sections, <500 lines per file)?
- ✅ Is it **comprehensive** (architecture, patterns, setup all documented)?
- ✅ Do you **trust** it completely for AI agent consumption?
**If ANY answer is NO → Run `document-project`**
**Step 2: Check for Massive Documents**
If you have documentation but files are huge (>500 lines, 10+ level 2 sections):
1. **First:** Run `shard-doc` tool to split large files:
```bash
# Load BMad Master or any agent
bmad/core/tools/shard-doc.xml --input docs/massive-doc.md
```
- Splits on level 2 sections by default
- Creates organized, manageable files
- Preserves content integrity
2. **Then:** Run `index-docs` task to create navigation:
```bash
bmad/core/tasks/index-docs.xml --directory ./docs
```
3. **Finally:** Validate quality - if sharded docs still seem incomplete/outdated → Run `document-project`
### Four Real-World Scenarios
| Scenario | You Have | Action | Why |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------ | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **A** | No documentation | `document-project` | Only option - generate from scratch |
| **B** | Docs exist but massive/outdated/incomplete | `document-project` | Safer to regenerate than trust bad docs |
| **C** | Good docs but no structure | `shard-doc``index-docs` | Structure existing content for AI |
| **D** | Confirmed AI-optimized docs with index.md | Skip Phase 0 | Rare - only if you're 100% confident |
### Scenario A: No Documentation (Most Common)
**Action: Run document-project workflow**
1. Load Analyst or Technical Writer (Paige) agent
2. Run `*document-project`
3. Choose scan level:
- **Quick** (2-5min): Pattern analysis, no source reading
- **Deep** (10-30min): Reads critical paths - **Recommended**
- **Exhaustive** (30-120min): Reads all files
**Outputs:**
- `docs/index.md` - Master AI entry point
- `docs/project-overview.md` - Executive summary
- `docs/architecture.md` - Architecture analysis
- `docs/source-tree-analysis.md` - Directory structure
- Additional files based on project type (API, web app, etc.)
### Scenario B: Docs Exist But Quality Unknown/Poor (Very Common)
**Action: Run document-project workflow (regenerate)**
Even if `docs/` folder exists, if you're unsure about quality → **regenerate**.
**Why regenerate instead of index?**
- Outdated docs → AI makes wrong assumptions
- Incomplete docs → AI invents missing information
- TMI docs → AI hits token limits, misses key info
- Human-focused docs → Missing AI-critical structure
**document-project** will:
- Scan actual codebase (source of truth)
- Generate fresh, accurate documentation
- Structure properly for AI consumption
- Include only relevant, current information
### Scenario C: Good Docs But Needs Structure
**Action: Shard massive files, then index**
If you have **good, current documentation** but it's in massive files:
**Step 1: Shard large documents**
```bash
# For each massive doc (>500 lines or 10+ level 2 sections)
bmad/core/tools/shard-doc.xml \
--input docs/api-documentation.md \
--output docs/api/ \
--level 2 # Split on ## headers (default)
```
**Step 2: Generate index**
```bash
bmad/core/tasks/index-docs.xml --directory ./docs
```
**Step 3: Validate**
- Review generated `docs/index.md`
- Check that sharded files are <500 lines each
- Verify content is current and accurate
- **If anything seems off → Run document-project instead**
### Scenario D: Confirmed AI-Optimized Documentation (Rare)
**Action: Skip Phase 0**
Only skip if ALL conditions met:
- ✅ `docs/index.md` exists and is comprehensive
- ✅ Documentation updated within last 30 days
- ✅ All doc files <500 lines with clear structure
- ✅ Covers architecture, patterns, setup, API surface
- ✅ You personally verified quality for AI consumption
- ✅ Previous AI agents used it successfully
**If unsure → Run document-project** (costs 10-30 minutes, saves hours of confusion)
### Why document-project is Critical
Without AI-optimized documentation, workflows fail:
- **tech-spec** (Quick Flow) can't auto-detect stack/patterns → Makes wrong assumptions
- **PRD** (BMad Method) can't reference existing code → Designs incompatible features
- **architecture** can't build on existing structure → Suggests conflicting patterns
- **story-context** can't inject existing patterns → Dev agent rewrites working code
- **dev-story** invents implementations → Breaks existing integrations
### Key Principle
**When in doubt, run document-project.**
It's better to spend 10-30 minutes generating fresh, accurate docs than to waste hours debugging AI agents working from bad documentation.

## Workflow Phases by Track
### Phase 1: Analysis (Optional)
**Workflows:**
- `brainstorm-project` - Solution exploration
- `research` - Technical/market research
- `product-brief` - Strategic planning (BMad Method/Enterprise tracks only)
**When to use:** Complex features, technical decisions, strategic additions
**When to skip:** Bug fixes, well-understood features, time-sensitive changes
See [Workflows Guide](../workflows/README.md) for details.
### Phase 2: Planning (Required)
**Planning approach adapts by track:**
**Quick Flow:** Use `tech-spec` workflow
- Creates tech-spec.md
- Auto-detects existing stack (brownfield)
- Confirms conventions with you
- Generates implementation-ready stories
**BMad Method/Enterprise:** Use `prd` workflow
- Creates PRD.md + epic breakdown
- References existing architecture
- Plans integration points
**Brownfield-specific:** See [Scale Adaptive System](./scale-adaptive-system.md) for complete workflow paths by track.
### Phase 3: Solutioning (BMad Method/Enterprise Only)
**Critical for brownfield:**
- Review existing architecture FIRST
- Document integration points explicitly
- Plan backward compatibility
- Consider migration strategy
**Workflows:**
- `create-architecture` - Extend architecture docs (BMad Method/Enterprise)
- `solutioning-gate-check` - Validate before implementation (BMad Method/Enterprise)
### Phase 4: Implementation (All Tracks)
**Sprint-based development through story iteration:**

style SPRINT fill:#bfb,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px
style RETRO fill:#fbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px
```
**Status Progression:**
- Epic: `backlog → contexted`
- Story: `backlog → drafted → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done`
**Brownfield-Specific Implementation Tips:**
1. **Respect existing patterns** - Follow established conventions
2. **Test integration thoroughly** - Validate interactions with existing code
3. **Use feature flags** - Enable gradual rollout
4. **Context injection matters** - epic-tech-context and story-context reference existing patterns
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Always Document First
Even if you know the code, AI agents need `document-project` output for context. Run it before planning.
### 2. Be Specific About Current Work
When workflow-init asks about your work:
- ✅ "Update payment method enums to include Apple Pay"
- ❌ "Fix stuff"
### 3. Choose Right Documentation Approach
- **Has good docs, no index?** → Run `index-docs` task (fast)
- **No docs or need codebase analysis?** → Run `document-project` (Deep scan)
### 4. Respect Existing Patterns
Tech-spec and story-context will detect conventions. Follow them unless explicitly modernizing.
### 5. Plan Integration Points Explicitly
Document in tech-spec/architecture:
- Which existing modules you'll modify
- What APIs/services you'll integrate with
- How data flows between new and existing code
### 6. Design for Gradual Rollout
- Use feature flags for new functionality
- Plan rollback strategies
- Maintain backward compatibility
- Create migration scripts if needed
### 7. Test Integration Thoroughly
- Regression testing of existing features
- Integration point validation
- Performance impact assessment
- API contract verification
### 8. Use Sprint Planning Effectively
- Run `sprint-planning` at Phase 4 start
- Context epics before drafting stories
- Update `sprint-status.yaml` as work progresses
### 9. Leverage Context Injection
- Run `epic-tech-context` before story drafting
- Always create `story-context` before implementation
- These reference existing patterns for consistency
### 10. Learn Continuously
- Run `retrospective` after each epic
- Incorporate learnings into next stories
- Update discovered patterns
- Share insights across team

## Troubleshooting
For complete troubleshooting, see [Troubleshooting Guide](./troubleshooting.md).
### AI Agents Lack Codebase Understanding
**Symptoms:**
- Suggestions don't align with existing patterns
- Ignores available components
- Doesn't reference existing code
**Solution:**
1. Run `document-project` with Deep scan
2. Verify `docs/index.md` exists
3. Check documentation completeness
4. Run deep-dive on specific areas if needed
### Have Documentation But Agents Can't Find It
**Symptoms:**
- README.md, ARCHITECTURE.md exist
- AI agents ask questions already answered
- No `docs/index.md` file
**Solution:**
- **Quick fix:** Run `index-docs` task (2-5min)
- **Comprehensive:** Run `document-project` workflow (10-30min)
### Integration Points Unclear
**Symptoms:**
- Not sure how to connect new code to existing
- Unsure which files to modify
**Solution:**
1. Ensure `document-project` captured existing architecture
2. Check `story-context` - should document integration points
3. In tech-spec/architecture - explicitly document:
- Which existing modules to modify
- What APIs/services to integrate with
- Data flow between new and existing code
4. Review architecture document for integration guidance
### Existing Tests Breaking
**Symptoms:**
- Regression test failures
- Previously working functionality broken
**Solution:**
1. Review changes against existing patterns
2. Verify API contracts unchanged (unless intentionally versioned)
3. Run `test-review` workflow (TEA agent)
4. Add regression testing to DoD
5. Consider feature flags for gradual rollout
### Inconsistent Patterns Being Introduced
**Symptoms:**
- New code style doesn't match existing
- Different architectural approach
**Solution:**
1. Check convention detection (Quick Spec Flow should detect patterns)
2. Review documentation - ensure `document-project` captured patterns
3. Use `story-context` - injects pattern guidance
4. Add to code-review checklist: pattern adherence, convention consistency
5. Run retrospective to identify deviations early

## Prevention Tips
**Avoid issues before they happen:**
1. ✅ **Always run document-project for brownfield** - Saves context issues later
2. ✅ **Use fresh chats for complex workflows** - Prevents hallucinations
3. ✅ **Verify files exist before workflows** - Check PRD, epics, stories present
4. ✅ **Read agent menu first** - Confirm agent has the workflow
5. ✅ **Start with simpler track if unsure** - Easy to upgrade (Quick Flow → BMad Method)
6. ✅ **Keep status files updated** - Manual updates when needed
7. ✅ **Run retrospectives after epics** - Catch issues early
8. ✅ **Follow phase sequence** - Don't skip required phases

## The Paradigm Shift
### Traditional Agile: Team-Based Story Parallelism
- **Epic duration:** 4-12 weeks across multiple sprints
- **Story duration:** 2-5 days per developer
- **Team size:** 5-9 developers working on same epic
- **Parallelization:** Multiple devs on stories within single epic
- **Coordination:** Constant - daily standups, merge conflicts, integration overhead
**Example:** Payment Processing Epic
- Sprint 1-2: Backend API (Dev A)
- Sprint 1-2: Frontend UI (Dev B)
- Sprint 2-3: Testing (Dev C)
- **Result:** 6-8 weeks, 3 developers, high coordination
### Agentic Development: Individual Epic Ownership
- **Epic duration:** Hours to days (not weeks)
- **Story duration:** 30 min to 4 hours with AI agent
- **Team size:** 1 developer + AI agents completes full epics
- **Parallelization:** Developers work on separate epics
- **Coordination:** Minimal - epic boundaries, async updates
**Same Example:** Payment Processing Epic
- Day 1 AM: Backend API stories (1 dev + agent, 3-4 stories)
- Day 1 PM: Frontend UI stories (same dev + agent, 2-3 stories)
- Day 2: Testing & deployment (same dev + agent, 2 stories)
- **Result:** 1-2 days, 1 developer, minimal coordination
### The Core Difference
**What changed:** AI agents collapse story duration from days to hours, making **epic-level ownership** practical.
**Impact:** Single developer with BMad Method can deliver in 1 day what previously required full team and multiple sprints.

## The Evolving Role of Product Managers & UX Designers
### The Future is Now
Product Managers and UX Designers are undergoing **the most significant transformation since the creation of these disciplines**. The emergence of AI agents is creating a new breed of technical product leaders who translate vision directly into working code.
### From Spec Writers to Code Orchestrators
**Traditional PM/UX (Pre-2025):**
- Write PRDs, hand off to engineering
- Wait weeks/months for implementation
- Limited validation capabilities
- Non-technical role, heavy on process
**Emerging PM/UX (2025+):**
- Write AI-optimized PRDs that **feed agentic pipelines directly**
- Generate working prototypes in 10-15 minutes
- Review pull requests from AI agents
- Technical fluency is **table stakes**, not optional
- Orchestrate cloud-based AI agent teams
### Industry Research (November 2025)
- **56% of product professionals** cite AI/ML as top focus
- **AI agents automating** customer discovery, PRD creation, status reporting
- **PRD-to-Code automation** enables PMs to build and deploy apps in 10-15 minutes
- **By 2026**: Roles converging into "Full-Stack Product Lead" (PM + Design + Engineering)
- **Very high salaries** for AI agent PMs who orchestrate autonomous dev systems
### Required Skills for Modern PMs/UX
1. **AI Prompt Engineering** - Writing PRDs AI agents can execute autonomously
2. **Coding Literacy** - Understanding code structure, APIs, data flows (not production coding)
3. **Agentic Workflow Design** - Orchestrating multi-agent systems (planning → design → dev)
4. **Technical Architecture** - Reasoning frameworks, memory systems, tool integration
5. **Data Literacy** - Interpreting model outputs, spotting trends, identifying gaps
6. **Code Review** - Evaluating AI-generated PRs for correctness and vision alignment
### What Remains Human
**AI Can't Replace:**
- Product vision (market dynamics, customer pain, strategic positioning)
- Empathy (deep user research, emotional intelligence, stakeholder management)
- Creativity (novel problem-solving, disruptive thinking)
- Judgment (prioritization decisions, trade-off analysis)
- Ethics (responsible AI use, privacy, accessibility)
**What Changes:**
- PMs/UX spend **more time on human elements** (AI handles routine execution)
- Barrier between "thinking" and "building" collapses
- Product leaders become **builder-thinkers**, not just spec writers
### The Convergence
- **PMs learning to code** with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, v0
- **UX designers generating code** with UXPin Merge, Figma-to-code tools
- **Developers becoming orchestrators** reviewing AI output vs writing from scratch
**The Bottom Line:** By 2026, successful PMs/UX will fluently operate in both vision and execution. **BMad Method provides the structured framework to make this transition.**
---
## How BMad Method Enables PM/UX Technical Evolution
BMad Method is specifically designed to position PMs and UX designers for this future.
### 1. AI-Executable PRD Generation
**PM Workflow:**
```bash
bmad pm *create-prd
```
**BMad produces:**
- Structured, machine-readable requirements
- Testable acceptance criteria per requirement
- Clear epic/story decomposition
- Technical context for AI agents
**Why it matters:** Traditional PRDs are human-readable prose. BMad PRDs are **AI-executable work packages**.
**PM Value:** Write once, automatically translated into agent-ready stories. No engineering bottleneck for translation.
### 2. Automated Epic/Story Breakdown
**PM Workflow:**
```bash
bmad pm *create-epics-and-stories
```
**BMad produces:**
- Epic files with clear objectives
- Story files with acceptance criteria, context, technical guidance
- Priority assignments (P0-P3)
- Dependency mapping
**Why it matters:** Stories become **work packages for cloud AI agents**. Each story is self-contained with full context.
**PM Value:** No more "story refinement sessions" with engineering. AI agents execute directly from BMad stories.
### 3. Human-in-the-Loop Architecture
**Architect/PM Workflow:**
```bash
bmad architect *create-architecture
```
**BMad produces:**
- System architecture aligned with PRD
- Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
- Epic-specific technical guidance
- Integration patterns and standards
**Why it matters:** PMs can **understand and validate** technical decisions. Architecture is conversational, not template-driven.
**PM Value:** Technical fluency built through guided architecture process. PMs learn while creating.
### 4. Cloud Agentic Pipeline (Emerging Pattern)
**Current State (2025):**
```
PM writes BMad PRD
create-epics-and-stories generates story queue
Stories loaded by human developers + BMad agents
Developers create PRs
PM/Team reviews PRs
Merge and deploy
```
**Near Future (2026):**
```
PM writes BMad PRD
create-epics-and-stories generates story queue
Stories automatically fed to cloud AI agent pool
AI agents implement stories in parallel
AI agents create pull requests
PM/UX/Senior Devs review PRs
Approved PRs auto-merge
Continuous deployment to production
```
**Time Savings:**
- **Traditional:** PM writes spec → 2-4 weeks engineering → review → deploy (6-8 weeks)
- **BMad Agentic:** PM writes PRD → AI agents implement → review PRs → deploy (2-5 days)
### 5. UX Design Integration
**UX Designer Workflow:**
```bash
bmad ux *create-design
```
**BMad produces:**
- Component-based design system
- Interaction patterns aligned with tech stack
- Accessibility guidelines
- Responsive design specifications
**Why it matters:** Design specs become **implementation-ready** for AI agents. No "lost in translation" between design and dev.
**UX Value:** Designs validated through working prototypes, not static mocks. Technical understanding built through BMad workflows.
### 6. PM Technical Skills Development
**BMad teaches PMs technical skills through:**
- **Conversational workflows** - No pre-requisite knowledge, learn by doing
- **Architecture facilitation** - Understand system design through guided questions
- **Story context assembly** - See how code patterns inform implementation
- **Code review workflows** - Learn to evaluate code quality, patterns, standards
**Example:** PM runs `create-architecture` workflow:
- BMad asks about scale, performance, integrations
- PM answers business questions
- BMad explains technical implications
- PM learns architecture concepts while making decisions
**Result:** PMs gain **working technical knowledge** without formal CS education.
### 7. Organizational Leverage
**Traditional Model:**
- 1 PM → supports 5-9 developers → delivers 1-2 features/quarter
**BMad Agentic Model:**
- 1 PM → writes BMad PRD → 20-50 AI agents execute stories in parallel → delivers 5-10 features/quarter
**Leverage multiplier:** 5-10× with same PM headcount.
### 8. Quality Consistency
**BMad ensures:**
- AI agents follow architectural patterns consistently (via story-context)
- Code standards applied uniformly (via epic-tech-context)
- PRD traceability throughout implementation (via acceptance criteria)
- No "telephone game" between PM, design, and dev
**PM Value:** What gets built **matches what was specified**, drastically reducing rework.
### 9. Rapid Prototyping for Validation
**PM Workflow (with BMad + Cursor/v0):**
1. Use BMad to generate PRD structure and requirements
2. Extract key user flow from PRD
3. Feed to Cursor/v0 with BMad context
4. Working prototype in 10-15 minutes
5. Validate with users **before** committing to full development
**Traditional:** Months of development to validate idea
**BMad Agentic:** Hours of development to validate idea
### 10. Career Path Evolution
**BMad positions PMs for emerging roles:**
- **AI Agent Product Manager** - Orchestrate autonomous development systems
- **Full-Stack Product Lead** - Oversee product, design, engineering with AI leverage
- **Technical Product Strategist** - Bridge business vision and technical execution
**Hiring advantage:** PMs using BMad demonstrate:
- Technical fluency (can read architecture, validate tech decisions)
- AI-native workflows (structured requirements, agentic orchestration)
- Results (ship 5-10× faster than peers)

## Team Collaboration Patterns
### Old Pattern: Story Parallelism
**Traditional Agile:**
```
Epic: User Dashboard (8 weeks)
├─ Story 1: Backend API (Dev A, Sprint 1-2)
├─ Story 2: Frontend Layout (Dev B, Sprint 1-2)
├─ Story 3: Data Viz (Dev C, Sprint 2-3)
└─ Story 4: Integration Testing (Team, Sprint 3-4)
Challenge: Coordination overhead, merge conflicts, integration issues
```
### New Pattern: Epic Ownership
**Agentic Development:**
```
Project: Analytics Platform (2-3 weeks)
Developer A:
└─ Epic 1: User Dashboard (3 days, 12 stories sequentially with AI)
Developer B:
└─ Epic 2: Admin Panel (4 days, 15 stories sequentially with AI)
Developer C:
└─ Epic 3: Reporting Engine (5 days, 18 stories sequentially with AI)
Benefit: Minimal coordination, epic-level ownership, clear boundaries
```
---
## Work Distribution Strategies
### Strategy 1: Epic-Based (Recommended)
**Best for:** 2-10 developers
**Approach:** Each developer owns complete epics, works sequentially through stories
**Example:**
```yaml
epics:
- id: epic-1
title: Payment Processing
owner: alice
stories: 8
estimate: 2 days
- id: epic-2
title: User Dashboard
owner: bob
stories: 12
estimate: 3 days
```
**Benefits:** Clear ownership, minimal conflicts, epic cohesion, reduced coordination
### Strategy 2: Layer-Based
**Best for:** Full-stack apps, specialized teams
**Example:**
```
Frontend Dev: Epic 1 (Product Catalog UI), Epic 3 (Cart UI)
Backend Dev: Epic 2 (Product API), Epic 4 (Cart Service)
```
**Benefits:** Developers in expertise area, true parallel work, clear API contracts
**Requirements:** Strong architecture phase, clear API contracts upfront
### Strategy 3: Feature-Based
**Best for:** Large teams (10+ developers)
**Example:**
```
Team A (2 devs): Payments feature (4 epics)
Team B (2 devs): User Management feature (3 epics)
Team C (2 devs): Analytics feature (3 epics)
```
**Benefits:** Feature team autonomy, domain expertise, scalable to large orgs
---
## Enterprise Configuration with Git Submodules
### The Challenge
**Problem:** Teams customize BMad (agents, workflows, configs) but don't want personal tooling in main repo.
**Anti-pattern:** Adding `bmad/` to `.gitignore` breaks IDE tools, submodule management.
### The Solution: Git Submodules
**Benefits:**
- BMad exists in project but tracked separately
- Each developer controls their own BMad version/config
- Optional team config sharing via submodule repo
- IDE tools maintain proper context
### Setup (New Projects)
**1. Create optional team config repo:**
```bash
git init bmm-config
cd bmm-config
npx bmad-method install
# Customize for team standards
git commit -m "Team BMM config"
git push origin main
```
**2. Add submodule to project:**
```bash
cd /path/to/your-project
git submodule add https://github.com/your-org/bmm-config.git bmad
git commit -m "Add BMM as submodule"
```
**3. Team members initialize:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-org/your-project.git
cd your-project
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Make personal customizations in bmad/
```
### Daily Workflow
**Work in main project:**
```bash
cd /path/to/your-project
# BMad available at ./bmad/, load agents normally
```
**Update personal config:**
```bash
cd bmad
# Make changes, commit locally, don't push unless sharing
```
**Update to latest team config:**
```bash
cd bmad
git pull origin main
```
### Configuration Strategies
**Option 1: Fully Personal** - No submodule, each dev installs independently, use `.gitignore`
**Option 2: Team Baseline + Personal** - Submodule has team standards, devs add personal customizations locally
**Option 3: Full Team Sharing** - All configs in submodule, team collaborates on improvements
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Epic Ownership
- **Do:** Assign entire epic to one developer (context → implementation → retro)
- **Don't:** Split epics across multiple developers (coordination overhead, context loss)
### 2. Dependency Management
- **Do:** Identify epic dependencies in planning, document API contracts, complete prerequisites first
- **Don't:** Start dependent epic before prerequisite ready, change API contracts without coordination
### 3. Communication Cadence
**Traditional:** Daily standups essential
**Agentic:** Lighter coordination
**Recommended:**
- Daily async updates ("Epic 1, 60% complete, no blockers")
- Twice-weekly 15min sync
- Epic completion demos
- Sprint retro after all epics complete
### 4. Branch Strategy
```bash
feature/epic-1-payment-processing (Alice)
feature/epic-2-user-dashboard (Bob)
feature/epic-3-admin-panel (Carol)
# PR and merge when epic complete
```
### 5. Testing Strategy
- **Story-level:** Unit tests (DoD requirement, written by agent during dev-story)
- **Epic-level:** Integration tests across stories
- **Project-level:** E2E tests after multiple epics complete
### 6. Documentation Updates
- **Real-time:** `sprint-status.yaml` updated by workflows
- **Epic completion:** Update architecture docs, API docs, README if changed
- **Sprint completion:** Incorporate retrospective insights
### 7. Metrics (Different from Traditional)
**Traditional:** Story points per sprint, burndown charts
**Agentic:** Epics per week, stories per day, time to epic completion
**Example velocity:**
- Junior dev + AI: 1-2 epics/week (8-15 stories)
- Mid-level dev + AI: 2-3 epics/week (15-25 stories)
- Senior dev + AI: 3-5 epics/week (25-40 stories)

---
## Getting Started
### Q: Do I always need to run workflow-init?
**A:** No, once you learn the flow you can go directly to workflows. However, workflow-init is helpful because it:
- Determines your project's appropriate level automatically
- Creates the tracking status file
- Routes you to the correct starting workflow
For experienced users: use the [Quick Reference](./quick-start.md#quick-reference-agent--document-mapping) to go directly to the right agent/workflow.
### Q: Why do I need fresh chats for each workflow?
**A:** Context-intensive workflows (like brainstorming, PRD creation, architecture design) can cause AI hallucinations if run in sequence within the same chat. Starting fresh ensures the agent has maximum context capacity for each workflow. This is particularly important for:
- Planning workflows (PRD, architecture)
- Analysis workflows (brainstorming, research)
- Complex story implementation
Quick workflows like status checks can reuse chats safely.
### Q: Can I skip workflow-status and just start working?
**A:** Yes, if you already know your project level and which workflow comes next. workflow-status is mainly useful for:
- New projects (guides initial setup)
- When you're unsure what to do next
- After breaks in work (reminds you where you left off)
- Checking overall progress
### Q: What's the minimum I need to get started?
**A:** For the fastest path:
1. Install BMad Method: `npx bmad-method@alpha install`
2. For small changes: Load PM agent → run tech-spec → implement
3. For larger projects: Load PM agent → run prd → architect → implement
### Q: How do I know if I'm in Phase 1, 2, 3, or 4?
**A:** Check your `bmm-workflow-status.md` file (created by workflow-init). It shows your current phase and progress. If you don't have this file, you can also tell by what you're working on:
- **Phase 1** - Brainstorming, research, product brief (optional)
- **Phase 2** - Creating either a PRD or tech-spec (always required)
- **Phase 3** - Architecture design (Level 2-4 only)
- **Phase 4** - Actually writing code, implementing stories
---
## Choosing the Right Level
### Q: How do I know which level my project is?
**A:** Use workflow-init for automatic detection, or self-assess using these keywords:
- **Level 0:** "fix", "bug", "typo", "small change", "patch" → 1 story
- **Level 1:** "simple", "basic", "small feature", "add" → 2-10 stories
- **Level 2:** "dashboard", "several features", "admin panel" → 5-15 stories
- **Level 3:** "platform", "integration", "complex", "system" → 12-40 stories
- **Level 4:** "enterprise", "multi-tenant", "multiple products" → 40+ stories
When in doubt, start smaller. You can always run create-prd later if needed.
### Q: Can I change levels mid-project?
**A:** Yes! If you started at Level 1 but realize it's Level 2, you can run create-prd to add proper planning docs. The system is flexible - your initial level choice isn't permanent.
### Q: What if workflow-init suggests the wrong level?
**A:** You can override it! workflow-init suggests a level but always asks for confirmation. If you disagree, just say so and choose the level you think is appropriate. Trust your judgment.
### Q: Do I always need architecture for Level 2?
**A:** No, architecture is **optional** for Level 2. Only create architecture if you need system-level design. Many Level 2 projects work fine with just PRD + epic-tech-context created during implementation.
### Q: What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?
**A:**
- **Level 1:** 1-10 stories, uses tech-spec (simpler, faster), no architecture
- **Level 2:** 5-15 stories, uses PRD (product-focused), optional architecture
The overlap (5-10 stories) is intentional. Choose based on:
- Need product-level planning? → Level 2
- Just need technical plan? → Level 1
- Multiple epics? → Level 2
- Single epic? → Level 1
---
## Workflows & Phases
### Q: What's the difference between workflow-status and workflow-init?
**A:**
- **workflow-status:** Checks existing status and tells you what's next (use when continuing work)
- **workflow-init:** Creates new status file and sets up project (use when starting new project)
If status file exists, use workflow-status. If not, use workflow-init.
### Q: Can I skip Phase 1 (Analysis)?
**A:** Yes! Phase 1 is optional for all levels, though recommended for complex projects. Skip if:
- Requirements are clear
- No research needed
- Time-sensitive work
- Small changes (Level 0-1)
### Q: When is Phase 3 (Architecture) required?
**A:**
- **Level 0-1:** Never (skip entirely)
- **Level 2:** Optional (only if system design needed)
- **Level 3-4:** Required (comprehensive architecture mandatory)
### Q: What happens if I skip a recommended workflow?
**A:** Nothing breaks! Workflows are guidance, not enforcement. However, skipping recommended workflows (like architecture for Level 3) may cause:
- Integration issues during implementation
- Rework due to poor planning
- Conflicting design decisions
- Longer development time overall
### Q: How do I know when Phase 3 is complete and I can start Phase 4?
**A:** For Level 3-4, run the solutioning-gate-check workflow. It validates that PRD, architecture, and UX (if applicable) are cohesive before implementation. Pass the gate check = ready for Phase 4.
### Q: Can I run workflows in parallel or do they have to be sequential?
**A:** Most workflows must be sequential within a phase:
- Phase 1: brainstorm → research → product-brief (optional order)
- Phase 2: PRD must complete before moving forward
- Phase 3: architecture → validate → gate-check (sequential)
- Phase 4: Stories within an epic should generally be sequential, but stories in different epics can be parallel if you have capacity
---
## Planning Documents
### Q: What's the difference between tech-spec and epic-tech-context?
**A:**
- **Tech-spec (Level 0-1):** Created upfront in Planning Phase, serves as primary/only planning document, a combination of enough technical and planning information to drive a single or multiple files
- **Epic-tech-context (Level 2-4):** Created during Implementation Phase per epic, supplements PRD + Architecture
Think of it as: tech-spec is for small projects (replaces PRD and architecture), epic-tech-context is for large projects (supplements PRD).
### Q: Why no tech-spec at Level 2+?
**A:** Level 2+ projects need product-level planning (PRD) and system-level design (Architecture), which tech-spec doesn't provide. Tech-spec is too narrow for coordinating multiple features. Instead, Level 2-4 uses:
- PRD (product vision, requirements, epics)
- Architecture (system design)
- Epic-tech-context (detailed implementation per epic, created just-in-time)
### Q: When do I create epic-tech-context?
**A:** In Phase 4, right before implementing each epic. Don't create all epic-tech-context upfront - that's over-planning. Create them just-in-time using the epic-tech-context workflow as you're about to start working on that epic.
**Why just-in-time?** You'll learn from earlier epics, and those learnings improve later epic-tech-context.
### Q: Do I need a PRD for a bug fix?
**A:** No! Bug fixes are typically Level 0 (single atomic change). Use Quick Spec Flow:
- Load PM agent
- Run tech-spec workflow
- Implement immediately
PRDs are for Level 2-4 projects with multiple features requiring product-level coordination.
### Q: Can I skip the product brief?
**A:** Yes, product brief is always optional. It's most valuable for:
- Level 3-4 projects needing strategic direction
- Projects with stakeholders requiring alignment
- Novel products needing market research
- When you want to explore solution space before committing
---
## Implementation
### Q: Do I need story-context for every story?
**A:** Technically no, but it's recommended. story-context provides implementation-specific guidance, references existing patterns, and injects expertise. Skip it only if:
- Very simple story (self-explanatory)
- You're already expert in the area
- Time is extremely limited
For Level 0-1 using tech-spec, story-context is less critical because tech-spec is already comprehensive.
### Q: What if I don't create epic-tech-context before drafting stories?
**A:** You can proceed without it, but you'll miss:
- Epic-level technical direction
- Architecture guidance for this epic
- Integration strategy with other epics
- Common patterns to follow across stories
epic-tech-context helps ensure stories within an epic are cohesive.
### Q: How do I mark a story as done?
**A:** You have two options:
**Option 1: Use story-done workflow (Recommended)**
1. Load SM agent
2. Run `story-done` workflow
3. Workflow automatically updates `sprint-status.yaml` (created by sprint-planning at Phase 4 start)
4. Moves story from current status → `DONE`
5. Advances the story queue
**Option 2: Manual update**
1. After dev-story completes and code-review passes
2. Open `sprint-status.yaml` (created by sprint-planning)
3. Change the story status from `review` to `done`
4. Save the file
The story-done workflow is faster and ensures proper status file updates.
### Q: Can I work on multiple stories at once?
**A:** Yes, if you have capacity! Stories within different epics can be worked in parallel. However, stories within the same epic are usually sequential because they build on each other.
### Q: What if my story takes longer than estimated?
**A:** That's normal! Stories are estimates. If implementation reveals more complexity:
1. Continue working until DoD is met
2. Consider if story should be split
3. Document learnings in retrospective
4. Adjust future estimates based on this learning
### Q: When should I run retrospective?
**A:** After completing all stories in an epic (when epic is done). Retrospectives capture:
- What went well
- What could improve
- Technical insights
- Input for next epic-tech-context
Don't wait until project end - run after each epic for continuous improvement.

## Brownfield Development
### Q: What is brownfield vs greenfield?
**A:**
- **Greenfield:** New project, starting from scratch, clean slate
- **Brownfield:** Existing project, working with established codebase and patterns
### Q: Do I have to run document-project for brownfield?
**A:** Highly recommended, especially if:
- No existing documentation
- Documentation is outdated
- AI agents need context about existing code
- Level 2-4 complexity
You can skip it if you have comprehensive, up-to-date documentation including `docs/index.md`.
### Q: What if I forget to run document-project on brownfield?
**A:** Workflows will lack context about existing code. You may get:
- Suggestions that don't match existing patterns
- Integration approaches that miss existing APIs
- Architecture that conflicts with current structure
Run document-project and restart planning with proper context.
### Q: Can I use Quick Spec Flow for brownfield projects?
**A:** Yes! Quick Spec Flow works great for brownfield. It will:
- Auto-detect your existing stack
- Analyze brownfield code patterns
- Detect conventions and ask for confirmation
- Generate context-rich tech-spec that respects existing code
Perfect for bug fixes and small features in existing codebases.
### Q: How does workflow-init handle brownfield with old planning docs?
**A:** workflow-init asks about YOUR current work first, then uses old artifacts as context:
1. Shows what it found (old PRD, epics, etc.)
2. Asks: "Is this work in progress, previous effort, or proposed work?"
3. If previous effort: Asks you to describe your NEW work
4. Determines level based on YOUR work, not old artifacts
This prevents old Level 3 PRDs from forcing Level 3 workflow for new Level 0 bug fix.
### Q: What if my existing code doesn't follow best practices?
**A:** Quick Spec Flow detects your conventions and asks: "Should I follow these existing conventions?" You decide:
- **Yes** → Maintain consistency with current codebase
- **No** → Establish new standards (document why in tech-spec)
BMM respects your choice - it won't force modernization, but it will offer it.
---
## Tools & Technical
### Q: Why are my Mermaid diagrams not rendering?
**A:** Common issues:
1. Missing language tag: Use ` ```mermaid` not just ` ``` `
2. Syntax errors in diagram (validate at mermaid.live)
3. Tool doesn't support Mermaid (check your Markdown renderer)
All BMM docs use valid Mermaid syntax that should render in GitHub, VS Code, and most IDEs.
### Q: Can I use BMM with GitHub Copilot / Cursor / other AI tools?
**A:** Yes! BMM is complementary. BMM handles:
- Project planning and structure
- Workflow orchestration
- Agent Personas and expertise
- Documentation generation
- Quality gates
Your AI coding assistant handles:
- Line-by-line code completion
- Quick refactoring
- Test generation
Use them together for best results.
### Q: What IDEs/tools support BMM?
**A:** BMM requires tools with **agent mode** and access to **high-quality LLM models** that can load and follow complex workflows, then properly implement code changes.
**Recommended Tools:**
- **Claude Code** ⭐ **Best choice**
- Sonnet 4.5 (excellent workflow following, coding, reasoning)
- Opus (maximum context, complex planning)
- Native agent mode designed for BMM workflows
- **Cursor**
- Supports Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI models
- Agent mode with composer
- Good for developers who prefer Cursor's UX
- **Windsurf**
- Multi-model support
- Agent capabilities
- Suitable for BMM workflows
**What Matters:**
1. **Agent mode** - Can load long workflow instructions and maintain context
2. **High-quality LLM** - Models ranked high on SWE-bench (coding benchmarks)
3. **Model selection** - Access to Claude Sonnet 4.5, Opus, or GPT-4o class models
4. **Context capacity** - Can handle large planning documents and codebases
**Why model quality matters:** BMM workflows require LLMs that can follow multi-step processes, maintain context across phases, and implement code that adheres to specifications. Tools with weaker models will struggle with workflow adherence and code quality.
See [IDE Setup Guides](../../../docs/ide-info/) for configuration specifics.
### Q: Can I customize agents?
**A:** Yes! Agents are installed as markdown files with XML-style content (optimized for LLMs, readable by any model). Create customization files in `bmad/_cfg/agents/[agent-name].customize.yaml` to override default behaviors while keeping core functionality intact. See agent documentation for customization options.
**Note:** While source agents in this repo are YAML, they install as `.md` files with XML-style tags - a format any LLM can read and follow.
### Q: What happens to my planning docs after implementation?
**A:** Keep them! They serve as:
- Historical record of decisions
- Onboarding material for new team members
- Reference for future enhancements
- Audit trail for compliance
For enterprise projects (Level 4), consider archiving completed planning artifacts to keep workspace clean.
### Q: Can I use BMM for non-software projects?
**A:** BMM is optimized for software development, but the methodology principles (scale-adaptive planning, just-in-time design, context injection) can apply to other complex project types. You'd need to adapt workflows and agents for your domain.
---
## Advanced Questions
### Q: What if my project grows from Level 1 to Level 3?
**A:** Totally fine! When you realize scope has grown:
1. Run create-prd to add product-level planning
2. Run create-architecture for system design
3. Use existing tech-spec as input for PRD
4. Continue with updated level
The system is flexible - growth is expected.
### Q: Can I mix greenfield and brownfield approaches?
**A:** Yes! Common scenario: adding new greenfield feature to brownfield codebase. Approach:
1. Run document-project for brownfield context
2. Use greenfield workflows for new feature planning
3. Explicitly document integration points between new and existing
4. Test integration thoroughly
### Q: How do I handle urgent hotfixes during a sprint?
**A:** Use correct-course workflow or just:
1. Save your current work state
2. Load PM agent → quick tech-spec for hotfix
3. Implement hotfix (Level 0 flow)
4. Deploy hotfix
5. Return to original sprint work
Level 0 Quick Spec Flow is perfect for urgent fixes.
### Q: What if I disagree with the workflow's recommendations?
**A:** Workflows are guidance, not enforcement. If a workflow recommends something that doesn't make sense for your context:
- Explain your reasoning to the agent
- Ask for alternative approaches
- Skip the recommendation if you're confident
- Document why you deviated (for future reference)
Trust your expertise - BMM supports your decisions.
### Q: Can multiple developers work on the same BMM project?
**A:** Yes! But the paradigm is fundamentally different from traditional agile teams.
**Key Difference:**
- **Traditional:** Multiple devs work on stories within one epic (months)
- **Agentic:** Each dev owns complete epics (days)
**In traditional agile:** A team of 5 devs might spend 2-3 months on a single epic, with each dev owning different stories.
**With BMM + AI agents:** A single dev can complete an entire epic in 1-3 days. What used to take months now takes days.
**Team Work Distribution:**
- **Recommended:** Split work by **epic** (not story)
- Each developer owns complete epics end-to-end
- Parallel work happens at epic level
- Minimal coordination needed
**For full-stack apps:**
- Frontend and backend can be separate epics (unusual in traditional agile)
- Frontend dev owns all frontend epics
- Backend dev owns all backend epics
- Works because delivery is so fast
**Enterprise Considerations:**
- Use **git submodules** for BMM installation (not .gitignore)
- Allows personal configurations without polluting main repo
- Teams may use different AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
- Developers may follow different methods or create custom agents/workflows
**Quick Tips:**
- Share `sprint-status.yaml` (single source of truth)
- Assign entire epics to developers (not individual stories)
- Coordinate at epic boundaries, not story level
- Use git submodules for BMM in enterprise settings
**For comprehensive coverage of enterprise team collaboration, work distribution strategies, git submodule setup, and velocity expectations, see:**
👉 **[Enterprise Agentic Development Guide](./enterprise-agentic-development.md)**
### Q: What is party mode and when should I use it?
**A:** Party mode is a unique multi-agent collaboration feature where ALL your installed agents (19+ from BMM, CIS, BMB, custom modules) discuss your challenges together in real-time.
**How it works:**
1. Run `/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode` (or `*party-mode` from any agent)
2. Introduce your topic
3. BMad Master selects 2-3 most relevant agents per message
4. Agents cross-talk, debate, and build on each other's ideas
**Best for:**
- Strategic decisions with trade-offs (architecture choices, tech stack, scope)
- Creative brainstorming (game design, product innovation, UX ideation)
- Cross-functional alignment (epic kickoffs, retrospectives, phase transitions)
- Complex problem-solving (multi-faceted challenges, risk assessment)
**Example parties:**
- **Product Strategy:** PM + Innovation Strategist (CIS) + Analyst
- **Technical Design:** Architect + Creative Problem Solver (CIS) + Game Architect
- **User Experience:** UX Designer + Design Thinking Coach (CIS) + Storyteller (CIS)
**Why it's powerful:**
- Diverse perspectives (technical, creative, strategic)
- Healthy debate reveals blind spots
- Emergent insights from agent interaction
- Natural collaboration across modules
**For complete documentation:**

## Core Concepts
### BMM (BMad Method Module)
Core orchestration system for AI-driven agile development, providing comprehensive lifecycle management through specialized agents and workflows.
### BMad Method
The complete methodology for AI-assisted software development, encompassing planning, architecture, implementation, and quality assurance workflows that adapt to project complexity.
### Scale-Adaptive System
BMad Method's intelligent workflow orchestration that automatically adjusts planning depth, documentation requirements, and implementation processes based on project needs through three distinct planning tracks (Quick Flow, BMad Method, Enterprise Method).
### Agent
A specialized AI persona with specific expertise (PM, Architect, SM, DEV, TEA) that guides users through workflows and creates deliverables. Agents have defined capabilities, communication styles, and workflow access.
### Workflow
A multi-step guided process that orchestrates AI agent activities to produce specific deliverables. Workflows are interactive and adapt to user context.
---
## Scale & Complexity
### Quick Flow Track
Fast implementation track using tech-spec planning only. Best for bug fixes, small features, and changes with clear scope. Typical range: 1-15 stories. No architecture phase needed. Examples: bug fixes, OAuth login, search features.
### BMad Method Track
Full product planning track using PRD + Architecture + UX. Best for products, platforms, and complex features requiring system design. Typical range: 10-50+ stories. Examples: admin dashboards, e-commerce platforms, SaaS products.
### Enterprise Method Track
Extended enterprise planning track adding Security Architecture, DevOps Strategy, and Test Strategy to BMad Method. Best for enterprise requirements, compliance needs, and multi-tenant systems. Typical range: 30+ stories. Examples: multi-tenant platforms, compliance-driven systems, mission-critical applications.
### Planning Track
The methodology path (Quick Flow, BMad Method, or Enterprise Method) chosen for a project based on planning needs, complexity, and requirements rather than story count alone.
**Note:** Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Tracks are determined by what planning the project needs, not story math.
---
## Planning Documents
### Tech-Spec (Technical Specification)
**Quick Flow track only.** Comprehensive technical plan created upfront that serves as the primary planning document for small changes or features. Contains problem statement, solution approach, file-level changes, stack detection (brownfield), testing strategy, and developer resources.
### Epic-Tech-Context (Epic Technical Context)
**BMad Method/Enterprise tracks only.** Detailed technical planning document created during implementation (just-in-time) for each epic. Supplements PRD + Architecture with epic-specific implementation details, code-level design decisions, and integration points.
**Key Difference:** Tech-spec (Quick Flow) is created upfront and is the only planning doc. Epic-tech-context (BMad Method/Enterprise) is created per epic during implementation and supplements PRD + Architecture.
### PRD (Product Requirements Document)
**BMad Method/Enterprise tracks.** Product-level planning document containing vision, goals, feature requirements, epic breakdown, success criteria, and UX considerations. Replaces tech-spec for larger projects that need product planning.
### Architecture Document
**BMad Method/Enterprise tracks.** System-wide design document defining structure, components, interactions, data models, integration patterns, security, performance, and deployment.
**Scale-Adaptive:** Architecture complexity scales with track - BMad Method is lightweight to moderate, Enterprise Method is comprehensive with security/devops/test strategies.
### Epics
High-level feature groupings that contain multiple related stories. Typically span 5-15 stories each and represent cohesive functionality (e.g., "User Authentication Epic").
### Product Brief
Optional strategic planning document created in Phase 1 (Analysis) that captures product vision, market context, user needs, and high-level requirements before detailed planning.
### GDD (Game Design Document)
Game development equivalent of PRD, created by Game Designer agent for game projects.
---
## Workflow & Phases
### Phase 0: Documentation (Prerequisite)
**Conditional phase for brownfield projects.** Creates comprehensive codebase documentation before planning. Only required if existing documentation is insufficient for AI agents.
### Phase 1: Analysis (Optional)
Discovery and research phase including brainstorming, research workflows, and product brief creation. Optional for Quick Flow, recommended for BMad Method, required for Enterprise Method.
### Phase 2: Planning (Required)
**Always required.** Creates formal requirements and work breakdown. Routes to tech-spec (Quick Flow) or PRD (BMad Method/Enterprise) based on selected track.
### Phase 3: Solutioning (Track-Dependent)
Architecture design phase. Required for BMad Method and Enterprise Method tracks. Includes architecture creation, validation, and gate checks.
### Phase 4: Implementation (Required)
Sprint-based development through story-by-story iteration. Uses sprint-planning, epic-tech-context, create-story, story-context, dev-story, code-review, and retrospective workflows.
### Quick Spec Flow
Fast-track workflow system for Quick Flow track projects that goes straight from idea to tech-spec to implementation, bypassing heavy planning. Designed for bug fixes, small features, and rapid prototyping.
### Just-In-Time Design
Pattern where epic-tech-context is created during implementation (Phase 4) right before working on each epic, rather than all upfront. Enables learning and adaptation.
### Context Injection
Dynamic technical guidance generated for each story via epic-tech-context and story-context workflows, providing exact expertise when needed without upfront over-planning.
---
## Agents & Roles
### PM (Product Manager)
Agent responsible for creating PRDs, tech-specs, and managing product requirements. Primary agent for Phase 2 planning.
### Analyst (Business Analyst)
Agent that initializes workflows, conducts research, creates product briefs, and tracks progress. Often the entry point for new projects.
### Architect
Agent that designs system architecture, creates architecture documents, performs technical reviews, and validates designs. Primary agent for Phase 3 solutioning.
### SM (Scrum Master)
Agent that manages sprints, creates stories, generates contexts, and coordinates implementation. Primary orchestrator for Phase 4 implementation.
### DEV (Developer)
Agent that implements stories, writes code, runs tests, and performs code reviews. Primary implementer in Phase 4.
### TEA (Test Architect)
Agent responsible for test strategy, quality gates, NFR assessment, and comprehensive quality assurance. Integrates throughout all phases.
### Technical Writer
Agent specialized in creating and maintaining high-quality technical documentation. Expert in documentation standards, information architecture, and professional technical writing. The agent's internal name is "paige" but is presented as "Technical Writer" to users.
### UX Designer
Agent that creates UX design documents, interaction patterns, and visual specifications for UI-heavy projects.
### Game Designer
Specialized agent for game development projects. Creates game design documents (GDD) and game-specific workflows.
### BMad Master
Meta-level orchestrator agent from BMad Core. Facilitates party mode, lists available tasks and workflows, and provides high-level guidance across all modules.
### Party Mode
Multi-agent collaboration feature where all installed agents (19+ from BMM, CIS, BMB, custom modules) discuss challenges together in real-time. BMad Master orchestrates, selecting 2-3 relevant agents per message for natural cross-talk and debate. Best for strategic decisions, creative brainstorming, cross-functional alignment, and complex problem-solving. See [Party Mode Guide](./party-mode.md).
---
## Status & Tracking
### bmm-workflow-status.yaml
**Phases 1-3.** Tracking file that shows current phase, completed workflows, progress, and next recommended actions. Created by workflow-init, updated automatically.
### sprint-status.yaml
**Phase 4 only.** Single source of truth for implementation tracking. Contains all epics, stories, and retrospectives with current status for each. Created by sprint-planning, updated by agents.
### Story Status Progression
```
backlog → drafted → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done
```
- **backlog** - Story exists in epic but not yet drafted
- **drafted** - Story file created by SM via create-story
- **ready-for-dev** - Story has context, ready for DEV via story-context
- **in-progress** - DEV is implementing via dev-story
- **review** - Implementation complete, awaiting code-review
- **done** - Completed with DoD met
### Epic Status Progression
```
backlog → contexted
```
- **backlog** - Epic exists in planning docs but no context yet
- **contexted** - Epic has technical context via epic-tech-context
### Retrospective
Workflow run after completing each epic to capture learnings, identify improvements, and feed insights into next epic planning. Critical for continuous improvement.
---
## Project Types
### Greenfield
New project starting from scratch with no existing codebase. Freedom to establish patterns, choose stack, and design from clean slate.
### Brownfield
Existing project with established codebase, patterns, and constraints. Requires understanding existing architecture, respecting established conventions, and planning integration with current systems.
**Critical:** Brownfield projects should run document-project workflow BEFORE planning to ensure AI agents have adequate context about existing code.
### document-project Workflow
**Brownfield prerequisite.** Analyzes and documents existing codebase, creating comprehensive documentation including project overview, architecture analysis, source tree, API contracts, and data models. Three scan levels: quick, deep, exhaustive.
---
## Implementation Terms
### Story
Single unit of implementable work with clear acceptance criteria, typically 2-8 hours of development effort. Stories are grouped into epics and tracked in sprint-status.yaml.
### Story File
Markdown file containing story details: description, acceptance criteria, technical notes, dependencies, implementation guidance, and testing requirements.
### Story Context
Technical guidance document created via story-context workflow that provides implementation-specific context, references existing patterns, suggests approaches, and injects expertise for the specific story.
### Epic Context
Technical planning document created via epic-tech-context workflow before drafting stories within an epic. Provides epic-level technical direction, architecture notes, and implementation strategy.
### Sprint Planning
Workflow that initializes Phase 4 implementation by creating sprint-status.yaml, extracting all epics/stories from planning docs, and setting up tracking infrastructure.
### Gate Check
Validation workflow (solutioning-gate-check) run before Phase 4 to ensure PRD, architecture, and UX documents are cohesive with no gaps or contradictions. Required for BMad Method and Enterprise Method tracks.
### DoD (Definition of Done)
Criteria that must be met before marking a story as done. Typically includes: implementation complete, tests written and passing, code reviewed, documentation updated, and acceptance criteria validated.
### Shard / Sharding
**For runtime LLM optimization only (NOT human docs).** Splitting large planning documents (PRD, epics, architecture) into smaller section-based files to improve workflow efficiency. Phase 1-3 workflows load entire sharded documents transparently. Phase 4 workflows selectively load only needed sections for massive token savings.
---
## Additional Terms
### Workflow Status
Universal entry point workflow that checks for existing status file, displays current phase/progress, and recommends next action based on project state.
### Workflow Init
Initialization workflow that creates bmm-workflow-status.yaml, detects greenfield vs brownfield, determines planning track, and sets up appropriate workflow path.
### Track Selection
Automatic analysis by workflow-init that uses keyword analysis, complexity indicators, and project requirements to suggest appropriate track (Quick Flow, BMad Method, or Enterprise Method). User can override suggested track.
### Correct Course
Workflow run during Phase 4 when significant changes or issues arise. Analyzes impact, proposes solutions, and routes to appropriate remediation workflows.
### Migration Strategy
Plan for handling changes to existing data, schemas, APIs, or patterns during brownfield development. Critical for ensuring backward compatibility and smooth rollout.
### Feature Flags
Implementation technique for brownfield projects that allows gradual rollout of new functionality, easy rollback, and A/B testing. Recommended for BMad Method and Enterprise brownfield changes.
### Integration Points
Specific locations where new code connects with existing systems. Must be documented explicitly in brownfield tech-specs and architectures.
### Convention Detection
Quick Spec Flow feature that automatically detects existing code style, naming conventions, patterns, and frameworks from brownfield codebases, then asks user to confirm before proceeding.

# Party Mode: Multi-Agent Collaboration
**Get all your AI agents in one conversation**
---
## What is Party Mode?
Ever wanted to gather your entire AI team in one room and see what happens? That's party mode.
Type `/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode` (or `*party-mode` from any agent), and suddenly you've got **all your AI agents** in one conversation. PM, Architect, DEV, UX Designer, the CIS creative agents - everyone shows up.
**Why it's useful:**
- **After complex workflows** - Debrief with the whole team about what worked, what didn't
- **Big decisions with tradeoffs** - Get technical, creative, and strategic perspectives simultaneously
- **Brainstorming sessions** - Watch ideas evolve through cross-pollination
- **When things go wrong** - Call out failures, watch agents defend their decisions, let them debate whose fault it was (oddly therapeutic)
- **Sprint retrospectives** - Party mode powers the retrospective workflow
- **Sprint planning** - Multi-agent collaboration for planning sessions
**Future use:** Advanced elicitation workflows will leverage party mode for sophisticated requirement gathering.
---
## How It Works
**The basics:**
1. Party mode reads `bmad/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv`
2. Loads ALL installed agents (already includes your customizations from install)
3. BMad Master orchestrates - picks 2-3 relevant agents per message based on topic
4. Agents respond in character, can agree/disagree/build on each other's ideas
5. Discussion continues until you type "exit" or reach natural conclusion
**That's it.** No complex merging, no runtime magic. Just agents talking.
---
## Quick Start
```bash
# Trigger party mode
/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode
# OR from any agent context
*party-mode
# During party
Ask questions, respond to agents, direct the conversation
# Exit
Type: exit
```
---
## Fun Examples
### Example 1: Calling Out Bad Architecture
**You:** "Okay team, our last sprint was a disaster. The authentication service went down three times. Who screwed this up?"
**Architect (Winston):** "The design was sound - distributed authentication with proper fallbacks. If implementation deviated from the spec..."
**DEV (Amelia):** "I followed the architecture doc exactly. The spec didn't account for concurrent session invalidation race conditions."
**PM (John):** "Both of you missed the bigger issue - we didn't validate session management requirements in the PRD. This is on me for not catching it."
**TEA (Murat):** "And I should've caught this in integration tests. The test scenarios didn't cover concurrent invalidation."
_(Watch them debate whose fault it really was - it's therapeutic)_
---
### Example 2: Creative Brainstorming
**You:** "How do we make onboarding feel magical instead of boring?"
**UX Designer (Sally):** "Start with progressive disclosure - reveal features as users need them, not all at once in a tutorial."
**Storyteller (CIS):** "What if onboarding was a story? Each step reveals a character's journey - the user IS the hero."
**Innovation Strategist (CIS):** "Take it further - gamify with unlockable achievements. But make them meaningful, not arbitrary badges."
**Game Designer:** "Building on that - what if the first 'quest' is actually solving a real user problem? They learn by doing something valuable."
_(Ideas cross-pollinate and evolve)_
---
### Example 3: Technical Decision
**You:** "Monolith or microservices for MVP?"
**Architect:** "Start monolith. Microservices add complexity you don't need at 1000 users."
**PM:** "Agree. Time to market matters more than theoretical scalability."
**DEV:** "Monolith with clear module boundaries. We can extract services later if needed."
**Innovation Strategist:** "Contrarian take - if your differentiator IS scalability, build for it now. Otherwise Architect's right."
_(Multiple perspectives reveal the right answer)_
---
## When NOT to Use Party Mode
**Skip party mode for:**
- Simple implementation questions → Use DEV agent
- Document review → Use Technical Writer
- Workflow status checks → Use any agent + `*workflow-status`
- Single-domain questions → Use specialist agent
**Use party mode for:**
- Multi-perspective decisions
- Creative collaboration
- Post-mortems and retrospectives
- Sprint planning sessions
- Complex problem-solving
---
## Agent Customization
Party mode uses agents from `bmad/[module]/agents/*.md` - these already include any customizations you applied during install.
**To customize agents for party mode:**
1. Create customization file: `bmad/_cfg/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml`
2. Run `npx bmad-method install` to rebuild agents
3. Customizations now active in party mode
Example customization:
```yaml
agent:
persona:
principles:
- 'HIPAA compliance is non-negotiable'
- 'Patient safety over feature velocity'
```
See [Agents Guide](./agents-guide.md#agent-customization) for details.
---
## BMM Workflows That Use Party Mode
**Current:**
- `epic-retrospective` - Post-epic team retrospective powered by party mode
- Sprint planning discussions (informal party mode usage)
**Future:**
- Advanced elicitation workflows will officially integrate party mode
- Multi-agent requirement validation
- Collaborative technical reviews
---
## Available Agents
Party mode can include **19+ agents** from all installed modules:
**BMM (12 agents):** PM, Analyst, Architect, SM, DEV, TEA, UX Designer, Technical Writer, Game Designer, Game Developer, Game Architect
**CIS (5 agents):** Brainstorming Coach, Creative Problem Solver, Design Thinking Coach, Innovation Strategist, Storyteller
**BMB (1 agent):** BMad Builder
**Core (1 agent):** BMad Master (orchestrator)
**Custom:** Any agents you've created
---
## Tips
**Get better results:**
- Be specific with your topic/question
- Provide context (project type, constraints, goals)
- Direct specific agents when you want their expertise
- Make decisions - party mode informs, you decide
- Time box discussions (15-30 minutes is usually plenty)
**Examples of good opening questions:**
- "We need to decide between REST and GraphQL for our mobile API. Project is a B2B SaaS with 50 enterprise clients."
- "Our last sprint failed spectacularly. Let's discuss what went wrong with authentication implementation."
- "Brainstorm: how can we make our game's tutorial feel rewarding instead of tedious?"
---
## Troubleshooting
**Same agents responding every time?**
Vary your questions or explicitly request other perspectives: "Game Designer, your thoughts?"
**Discussion going in circles?**
BMad Master will summarize and redirect, or you can make a decision and move on.
**Too many agents talking?**
Make your topic more specific - BMad Master picks 2-3 agents based on relevance.
**Agents not using customizations?**
Make sure you ran `npx bmad-method install` after creating customization files.

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

## Single Atomic Change
**Best for:** Bug fixes, single file changes, isolated improvements
### What You Get
1. **tech-spec.md** - Comprehensive technical specification with:
- Problem statement and solution
- Detected framework versions and dependencies
- Brownfield code patterns (if applicable)
- Existing test patterns to follow
- Specific file paths to modify
- Complete implementation guidance
2. **story-[slug].md** - Single user story ready for development
### Quick Spec Flow Commands
```bash
# Start Quick Spec Flow (no workflow-init needed!)
# Load PM agent and run tech-spec
# When complete, implement directly:
# Load DEV agent and run dev-story
```
### What Makes It Quick
- ✅ No Product Brief needed
- ✅ No PRD needed
- ✅ No Architecture doc needed
- ✅ Auto-detects your stack
- ✅ Auto-analyzes brownfield code
- ✅ Auto-validates quality
- ✅ Story context optional (tech-spec is comprehensive!)
### Example Single Change Scenarios
- "Fix the login validation bug"
- "Add email field to user registration form"
- "Update API endpoint to return additional field"
- "Improve error handling in payment processing"
---
## Coherent Small Feature
**Best for:** Small features with 2-3 related user stories
### What You Get
1. **tech-spec.md** - Same comprehensive spec as single change projects
2. **epics.md** - Epic organization with story breakdown
3. **story-[epic-slug]-1.md** - First story
4. **story-[epic-slug]-2.md** - Second story
5. **story-[epic-slug]-3.md** - Third story (if needed)
### Quick Spec Flow Commands
```bash
# Start Quick Spec Flow
# Load PM agent and run tech-spec
# Optional: Organize stories as a sprint
# Load SM agent and run sprint-planning
# Implement story-by-story:
# Load DEV agent and run dev-story for each story
```
### Story Sequencing
Stories are **automatically validated** to ensure proper sequence:
- ✅ No forward dependencies (Story 2 can't depend on Story 3)
- ✅ Clear dependency documentation
- ✅ Infrastructure → Features → Polish order
- ✅ Backend → Frontend flow
### Example Small Feature Scenarios
- "Add OAuth social login (Google, GitHub, Twitter)"
- "Build user profile page with avatar upload"
- "Implement basic search with filters"
- "Add dark mode toggle to application"
---
## Smart Context Discovery
Quick Spec Flow automatically discovers and uses:
### 1. Existing Documentation
- Product briefs (if they exist)
- Research documents
- `document-project` output (brownfield codebase map)
### 2. Project Stack
- **Node.js:** package.json → frameworks, dependencies, scripts, test framework
- **Python:** requirements.txt, pyproject.toml → packages, tools
- **Ruby:** Gemfile → gems and versions
- **Java:** pom.xml, build.gradle → Maven/Gradle dependencies
- **Go:** go.mod → modules
- **Rust:** Cargo.toml → crates
- **PHP:** composer.json → packages
### 3. Brownfield Code Patterns
- Directory structure and organization
- Existing code patterns (class-based, functional, MVC)
- Naming conventions (camelCase, snake_case, PascalCase)
- Test frameworks and patterns
- Code style (semicolons, quotes, indentation)
- Linter/formatter configs
- Error handling patterns
- Logging conventions
- Documentation style
### 4. Convention Confirmation
**IMPORTANT:** Quick Spec Flow detects your conventions and **asks for confirmation**:
```
I've detected these conventions in your codebase:
Code Style:
- ESLint with Airbnb config
- Prettier with single quotes, 2-space indent
- No semicolons
Test Patterns:
- Jest test framework
- .test.js file naming
- expect() assertion style
Should I follow these existing conventions? (yes/no)
```
**You decide:** Conform to existing patterns or establish new standards!

**Auto-fixes issues if found!**
---
## Complete User Journey
### Scenario 1: Bug Fix (Single Change)
**Goal:** Fix login validation bug
**Steps:**
1. **Start:** Load PM agent, say "I want to fix the login validation bug"
2. **PM runs tech-spec workflow:**
- Asks: "What problem are you solving?"
- You explain the validation issue
- Detects your Node.js stack (Express 4.18.2, Jest for testing)
- Analyzes existing UserService code patterns
- Asks: "Should I follow your existing conventions?" → You say yes
- Generates tech-spec.md with specific file paths and patterns
- Creates story-login-fix.md
3. **Implement:** Load DEV agent, run `dev-story`
- DEV reads tech-spec (has all context!)
- Implements fix following existing patterns
- Runs tests (following existing Jest patterns)
- Done!
**Total time:** 15-30 minutes (mostly implementation)
---
### Scenario 2: Small Feature (Multi-Story)
**Goal:** Add OAuth social login (Google, GitHub)
**Steps:**
1. **Start:** Load PM agent, say "I want to add OAuth social login"
2. **PM runs tech-spec workflow:**
- Asks about the feature scope
- You specify: Google and GitHub OAuth
- Detects your stack (Next.js 13.4, NextAuth.js already installed!)
- Analyzes existing auth patterns
- Confirms conventions with you
- Generates:
- tech-spec.md (comprehensive implementation guide)
- epics.md (OAuth Integration epic)
- story-oauth-1.md (Backend OAuth setup)
- story-oauth-2.md (Frontend login buttons)
3. **Optional Sprint Planning:** Load SM agent, run `sprint-planning`
4. **Implement Story 1:**
- Load DEV agent, run `dev-story` for story 1
- DEV implements backend OAuth
5. **Implement Story 2:**
- DEV agent, run `dev-story` for story 2
- DEV implements frontend
- Done!
**Total time:** 1-3 hours (mostly implementation)
---
## Integration with Phase 4 Workflows
Quick Spec Flow works seamlessly with all Phase 4 implementation workflows:
### story-context (SM Agent)
- ✅ Recognizes tech-spec.md as authoritative source
- ✅ Extracts context from tech-spec (replaces PRD)
- ✅ Generates XML context for complex scenarios
### create-story (SM Agent)
- ✅ Can work with tech-spec.md instead of PRD
- ✅ Uses epics.md from tech-spec workflow
- ✅ Creates additional stories if needed
### sprint-planning (SM Agent)
- ✅ Works with epics.md from tech-spec
- ✅ Organizes multi-story features for coordinated implementation
- ✅ Tracks progress through sprint-status.yaml
### dev-story (DEV Agent)
- ✅ Reads stories generated by tech-spec
- ✅ Uses tech-spec.md as comprehensive context
- ✅ Implements following detected conventions

---
## FAQ
### Q: Can I use Quick Spec Flow on an existing project?
**A:** Yes! It's perfect for brownfield projects. It will analyze your existing code, detect patterns, and ask if you want to follow them.
### Q: What if I don't have a package.json or requirements.txt?
**A:** Quick Spec Flow will work in greenfield mode, recommend starter templates, and use WebSearch for modern best practices.
### Q: Do I need to run workflow-init first?
**A:** No! Quick Spec Flow is standalone. But if you want guidance on which flow to use, workflow-init can help.
### Q: Can I use this for frontend changes?
**A:** Absolutely! Quick Spec Flow captures UX/UI considerations, component changes, and accessibility requirements.
### Q: What if my Quick Flow project grows?
**A:** No problem! You can always transition to BMad Method by running workflow-init and create-prd. Your tech-spec becomes input for the PRD.
### Q: Do I need story-context for every story?
**A:** Usually no! Tech-spec is comprehensive enough for most Quick Flow projects. Only use story-context for complex edge cases.
### Q: Can I skip validation?
**A:** No, validation always runs automatically. But it's fast and catches issues early!
### Q: Will it work with my team's code style?
**A:** Yes! It detects your conventions and asks for confirmation. You control whether to follow existing patterns or establish new ones.
---
## Tips & Best Practices
### 1. **Be Specific in Discovery**
When describing your change, provide specifics:
- ✅ "Fix email validation in UserService to allow plus-addressing"
- ❌ "Fix validation bug"
### 2. **Trust the Convention Detection**
If it detects your patterns correctly, say yes! It's faster than establishing new conventions.
### 3. **Use WebSearch Recommendations for Greenfield**
Starter templates save hours of setup time. Let Quick Spec Flow find the best ones.
### 4. **Review the Auto-Validation**
When validation runs, read the scores. They tell you if your spec is production-ready.
### 5. **Story Context is Optional**
For single changes, try going directly to dev-story first. Only add story-context if you hit complexity.
### 6. **Keep Single Changes Truly Atomic**
If your "single change" needs 3+ files, it might be a multi-story feature. Let the workflow guide you.
### 7. **Validate Story Sequence for Multi-Story Features**
When you get multiple stories, check the dependency validation output. Proper sequence matters!
---
## Real-World Examples
### Example 1: Adding Logging (Single Change)
**Input:** "Add structured logging to payment processing"
**Tech-Spec Output:**
- Detected: winston 3.8.2 already in package.json
- Analyzed: Existing services use winston with JSON format
- Confirmed: Follow existing logging patterns
- Generated: Specific file paths, log levels, format example
- Story: Ready to implement in 1-2 hours
**Result:** Consistent logging added, following team patterns, no research needed.
---
### Example 2: Search Feature (Multi-Story)
**Input:** "Add search to product catalog with filters"
**Tech-Spec Output:**
- Detected: React 18.2.0, MUI component library, Express backend
- Analyzed: Existing ProductList component patterns
- Confirmed: Follow existing API and component structure
- Generated:
- Epic: Product Search Functionality
- Story 1: Backend search API with filters
- Story 2: Frontend search UI component
- Auto-validated: Story 1 → Story 2 sequence correct
**Result:** Search feature implemented in 4-6 hours with proper architecture.

# BMad Method V6 Quick Start Guide
Get started with BMad Method v6 for your new greenfield project. This guide walks you through building software from scratch using AI-powered workflows.
## TL;DR - The Quick Path
1. **Install**: `npx bmad-method@alpha install`
2. **Initialize**: Load Analyst agent → Run "workflow-init"
3. **Plan**: Load PM agent → Run "prd" (or "tech-spec" for small projects)
4. **Architect**: Load Architect agent → Run "create-architecture" (10+ stories only)
5. **Build**: Load SM agent → Run workflows for each story → Load DEV agent → Implement
6. **Always use fresh chats** for each workflow to avoid hallucinations
---
## What is BMad Method?
BMad Method (BMM) helps you build software through guided workflows with specialized AI agents. The process follows four phases:
1. **Phase 1: Analysis** (Optional) - Brainstorming, Research, Product Brief
2. **Phase 2: Planning** (Required) - Create your requirements (tech-spec or PRD)
3. **Phase 3: Solutioning** (Track-dependent) - Design the architecture for BMad Method and Enterprise tracks
4. **Phase 4: Implementation** (Required) - Build your software Epic by Epic, Story by Story
## Installation
```bash
# Install v6 Alpha to your project
npx bmad-method@alpha install
```
The interactive installer will guide you through setup and create a `bmad/` folder with all agents and workflows.
---
## Getting Started
### Step 1: Initialize Your Workflow
1. **Load the Analyst agent** in your IDE - See your IDE-specific instructions in [docs/ide-info](../docs/ide-info/) for how to activate agents:
- [Claude Code](../docs/ide-info/claude-code.md)
- [VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf](../docs/ide-info/) - Check your IDE folder
- Other IDEs also supported
2. **Wait for the agent's menu** to appear
3. **Tell the agent**: "Run workflow-init" or type "\*workflow-init" or select the menu item number
#### What happens during workflow-init?
Workflows are interactive processes in V6 that replaced tasks and templates from prior versions. There are many types of workflows, and you can even create your own with the BMad Builder module. For the BMad Method, you'll be interacting with expert-designed workflows crafted to work with you to get the best out of both you and the LLM.
During workflow-init, you'll describe:
- Your project and its goals
- Whether there's an existing codebase or this is a new project
- The general size and complexity (you can adjust this later)
#### Planning Tracks
Based on your description, the workflow will suggest a track and let you choose from:
**Three Planning Tracks:**
- **Quick Flow** - Fast implementation (tech-spec only) - bug fixes, simple features, clear scope (typically 1-15 stories)
- **BMad Method** - Full planning (PRD + Architecture + UX) - products, platforms, complex features (typically 10-50+ stories)
- **Enterprise Method** - Extended planning (BMad Method + Security/DevOps/Test) - enterprise requirements, compliance, multi-tenant (typically 30+ stories)
**Note**: Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Tracks are chosen based on planning needs, not story math.
#### What gets created?
Once you confirm your track, the `bmm-workflow-status.yaml` file will be created in your project's docs folder (assuming default install location). This file tracks your progress through all phases.
**Important notes:**
- Every track has different paths through the phases
- Story counts can still change based on overall complexity as you work
- For this guide, we'll assume a BMad Method track project
- This workflow will guide you through Phase 1 (optional), Phase 2 (required), and Phase 3 (required for BMad Method and Enterprise tracks)
### Step 2: Work Through Phases 1-3
After workflow-init completes, you'll work through the planning phases. **Important: Use fresh chats for each workflow to avoid context limitations.**
#### Checking Your Status
If you're unsure what to do next:
1. Load any agent in a new chat
2. Ask for "workflow-status"
3. The agent will tell you the next recommended or required workflow
**Example response:**
```
Phase 1 (Analysis) is entirely optional. All workflows are optional or recommended:
- brainstorm-project - optional
- research - optional
- product-brief - RECOMMENDED (but not required)
The next TRULY REQUIRED step is:
- PRD (Product Requirements Document) in Phase 2 - Planning
- Agent: pm
- Command: prd
```
#### How to Run Workflows in Phases 1-3
When an agent tells you to run a workflow (like `prd`):
1. **Start a new chat** with the specified agent (e.g., PM) - See [docs/ide-info](../docs/ide-info/) for your IDE's specific instructions
2. **Wait for the menu** to appear
3. **Tell the agent** to run it using any of these formats:
- Type the shorthand: `*prd`
- Say it naturally: "Let's create a new PRD"
- Select the menu number for "create-prd"
The agents in V6 are very good with fuzzy menu matching!
#### Quick Reference: Agent → Document Mapping
For v4 users or those who prefer to skip workflow-status guidance:
- **Analyst** → Brainstorming, Product Brief
- **PM** → PRD (BMad Method/Enterprise tracks) OR tech-spec (Quick Flow track)
- **UX-Designer** → UX Design Document (if UI-heavy)
- **Architect** → Architecture (BMad Method/Enterprise tracks)
#### Phase 2: Planning - Creating the PRD
**For BMad Method and Enterprise tracks:**
1. Load the **PM agent** in a new chat
2. Tell it to run the PRD workflow
3. Once complete, you'll have:
- **PRD.md** - Your Product Requirements Document
- Epic breakdown
**For Quick Flow track:**
- Use **tech-spec** instead of PRD (no architecture needed)
#### Phase 2 (Optional): UX Design
If your project has a user interface:
1. Load the **UX-Designer agent** in a new chat
2. Tell it to run the UX design workflow
3. After completion, run validations to ensure the Epics file stays updated
#### Phase 3: Architecture
**For BMad Method and Enterprise tracks:**
1. Load the **Architect agent** in a new chat
2. Tell it to run the create-architecture workflow
3. After completion, run validations to ensure the Epics file stays updated
#### Phase 3: Solutioning Gate Check (Highly Recommended)
Once architecture is complete:
1. Load the **Architect agent** in a new chat
2. Tell it to run "solutioning-gate-check"
3. This validates cohesion across all your planning documents (PRD, UX, Architecture, Epics)
4. This was called the "PO Master Checklist" in v4
**Why run this?** It ensures all your planning assets align properly before you start building.
#### Context Management Tips
- **Use 200k+ context models** for best results (Claude Sonnet 4.5, GPT-4, etc.)
- **Fresh chat for each workflow** - Brainstorming, Briefs, Research, and PRD generation are all context-intensive
- **No document sharding needed** - Unlike v4, you don't need to split documents
- **Web Bundles coming soon** - Will help save LLM tokens for users with limited plans
### Step 3: Start Building (Phase 4 - Implementation)
Once planning and architecture are complete, you'll move to Phase 4. **Important: Each workflow below should be run in a fresh chat to avoid context limitations and hallucinations.**
#### 3.1 Initialize Sprint Planning
1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM (Scrum Master) agent**
2. Wait for the menu to appear
3. Tell the agent: "Run sprint-planning"
4. This creates your `sprint-status.yaml` file that tracks all epics and stories
#### 3.2 Create Epic Context (Optional but Recommended)
1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent**
2. Wait for the menu
3. Tell the agent: "Run epic-tech-context"
4. This creates technical context for the current epic before drafting stories
#### 3.3 Draft Your First Story
1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent**
2. Wait for the menu
3. Tell the agent: "Run create-story"
4. This drafts the story file from the epic
#### 3.4 Add Story Context (Optional but Recommended)
1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent**
2. Wait for the menu
3. Tell the agent: "Run story-context"
4. This creates implementation-specific technical context for the story
#### 3.5 Implement the Story
1. **Start a new chat** with the **DEV agent**
2. Wait for the menu
3. Tell the agent: "Run dev-story"
4. The DEV agent will implement the story and update the sprint status
#### 3.6 Review the Code (Optional but Recommended)
1. **Start a new chat** with the **DEV agent**
2. Wait for the menu
3. Tell the agent: "Run code-review"
4. The DEV agent performs quality validation (this was called QA in v4)
### Step 4: Keep Going
For each subsequent story, repeat the cycle using **fresh chats** for each workflow:
1. **New chat** → SM agent → "Run create-story"
2. **New chat** → SM agent → "Run story-context"
3. **New chat** → DEV agent → "Run dev-story"
4. **New chat** → DEV agent → "Run code-review" (optional but recommended)
After completing all stories in an epic:
1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent**
2. Tell the agent: "Run retrospective"
**Why fresh chats?** Context-intensive workflows can cause hallucinations if you keep issuing commands in the same chat. Starting fresh ensures the agent has maximum context capacity for each workflow.

## Understanding the Agents
Each agent is a specialized AI persona:
- **Analyst** - Initializes workflows and tracks progress
- **PM** - Creates requirements and specifications
- **UX-Designer** - If your project has a front end - this designer will help produce artifacts, come up with mock updates, and design a great look and feel with you giving it guidance.
- **Architect** - Designs system architecture
- **SM (Scrum Master)** - Manages sprints and creates stories
- **DEV** - Implements code and reviews work
## How Workflows Work
1. **Load an agent** - Open the agent file in your IDE to activate it
2. **Wait for the menu** - The agent will present its available workflows
3. **Tell the agent what to run** - Say "Run [workflow-name]"
4. **Follow the prompts** - The agent guides you through each step
The agent creates documents, asks questions, and helps you make decisions throughout the process.
## Project Tracking Files
BMad creates two files to track your progress:
**1. bmm-workflow-status.yaml**
- Shows which phase you're in and what's next
- Created by workflow-init
- Updated automatically as you progress through phases
**2. sprint-status.yaml** (Phase 4 only)
- Tracks all your epics and stories during implementation
- Critical for SM and DEV agents to know what to work on next
- Created by sprint-planning workflow
- Updated automatically as stories progress
**You don't need to edit these manually** - agents update them as you work.

## Common Questions
**Q: Do I always need architecture?**
A: Only for BMad Method and Enterprise tracks. Quick Flow projects skip straight from tech-spec to implementation.
**Q: Can I change my plan later?**
A: Yes! The SM agent has a "correct-course" workflow for handling scope changes.
**Q: What if I want to brainstorm first?**
A: Load the Analyst agent and tell it to "Run brainstorm-project" before running workflow-init.
**Q: Why do I need fresh chats for each workflow?**
A: Context-intensive workflows can cause hallucinations if run in sequence. Fresh chats ensure maximum context capacity.
**Q: Can I skip workflow-init and workflow-status?**
A: Yes, once you learn the flow. Use the Quick Reference in Step 2 to go directly to the workflows you need.

# BMad Method Scale Adaptive System
**Automatically adapts workflows to project complexity - from quick fixes to enterprise systems**
---
## Overview
The **Scale Adaptive System** intelligently routes projects to the right planning methodology based on complexity, not arbitrary story counts.
### The Problem
Traditional methodologies apply the same process to every project:
- Bug fix requires full design docs
- Enterprise system built with minimal planning
- One-size-fits-none approach
### The Solution
BMad Method adapts to three distinct planning tracks:
- **Quick Flow**: Tech-spec only, implement immediately
- **BMad Method**: PRD + Architecture, structured approach
- **Enterprise Method**: Full planning with security/devops/test
**Result**: Right planning depth for every project.
---
## Quick Reference
### Three Tracks at a Glance
| Track | Planning Depth | Time Investment | Best For |
| --------------------- | --------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Quick Flow** | Tech-spec only | Hours to 1 day | Simple features, bug fixes, clear scope |
| **BMad Method** | PRD + Arch + UX | 1-3 days | Products, platforms, complex features |
| **Enterprise Method** | Method + Test/Sec/Ops | 3-7 days | Enterprise needs, compliance, multi-tenant |
### Decision Tree

```
### Quick Keywords
- **Quick Flow**: fix, bug, simple, add, clear scope
- **BMad Method**: product, platform, dashboard, complex, multiple features
- **Enterprise Method**: enterprise, multi-tenant, compliance, security, audit
---
## How Track Selection Works
When you run `workflow-init`, it guides you through an educational choice:
### 1. Description Analysis
Analyzes your project description for complexity indicators and suggests an appropriate track.
### 2. Educational Presentation
Shows all three tracks with:
- Time investment
- Planning approach
- Benefits and trade-offs
- AI agent support level
- Concrete examples
### 3. Honest Recommendation
Provides tailored recommendation based on:
- Complexity keywords
- Greenfield vs brownfield
- User's description
### 4. User Choice
You choose the track that fits your situation. The system guides but never forces.
**Example:**
```
workflow-init: "Based on 'Add user dashboard with analytics', I recommend BMad Method.
This involves multiple features and system design. The PRD + Architecture
gives AI agents complete context for better code generation."
You: "Actually, this is simpler than it sounds. Quick Flow."
workflow-init: "Got it! Using Quick Flow with tech-spec."
```
---
## The Three Tracks
### Track 1: Quick Flow
**Definition**: Fast implementation with tech-spec planning.
**Time**: Hours to 1 day of planning
**Planning Docs**:
- Tech-spec.md (implementation-focused)
- Story files (1-15 typically, auto-detects epic structure)
**Workflow Path**:
```
(Brownfield: document-project first if needed)
Tech-Spec → Implement
```
**Use For**:
- Bug fixes
- Simple features
- Enhancements with clear scope
- Quick additions
**Story Count**: Typically 1-15 stories (guidance, not rule)
**Example**: "Fix authentication token expiration bug"
**AI Agent Support**: Basic - minimal context provided
**Trade-off**: Less planning = higher rework risk if complexity emerges
---
### Track 2: BMad Method (RECOMMENDED)
**Definition**: Full product + system design planning.
**Time**: 1-3 days of planning
**Planning Docs**:
- PRD.md (product requirements)
- Architecture.md (system design)
- UX Design (if UI components)
- Epic breakdown with stories
**Workflow Path**:
```
(Brownfield: document-project first if needed)
(Optional: Analysis phase - brainstorm, research, product brief)
PRD → (Optional UX) → Architecture → Gate Check → Implement
```
**Use For**:
**Greenfield**:
- Products
- Platforms
- Multi-feature initiatives
**Brownfield**:
- Complex additions (new UIs + APIs)
- Major refactors
- New modules
**Story Count**: Typically 10-50+ stories (guidance, not rule)
**Examples**:
- "User dashboard with analytics and preferences"
- "Add real-time collaboration to existing document editor"
- "Payment integration system"
**AI Agent Support**: Exceptional - complete context for coding partnership
**Why Architecture for Brownfield?**
Your brownfield documentation might be huge. Architecture workflow distills massive codebase context into a focused solution design specific to YOUR project. This keeps AI agents focused without getting lost in existing code.
**Benefits**:
- Complete AI agent context
- Prevents architectural drift
- Fewer surprises during implementation
- Better code quality
- Faster overall delivery (planning pays off)
---
### Track 3: Enterprise Method
**Definition**: Extended planning with security, devops, and test strategy.
**Time**: 3-7 days of planning
**Planning Docs**:
- All BMad Method docs PLUS:
- Security Architecture
- DevOps Strategy
- Test Strategy
- Compliance documentation
**Workflow Path**:
```
(Brownfield: document-project nearly mandatory)
Analysis (recommended/required) → PRD → UX → Architecture
Security Architecture → DevOps Strategy → Test Strategy
Gate Check → Implement
```
**Use For**:
- Enterprise requirements
- Multi-tenant systems
- Compliance needs (HIPAA, SOC2, etc.)
- Mission-critical systems
- Security-sensitive applications
**Story Count**: Typically 30+ stories (but defined by enterprise needs, not count)
**Examples**:
- "Multi-tenant SaaS platform"
- "HIPAA-compliant patient portal"
- "Add SOC2 audit logging to enterprise app"
**AI Agent Support**: Elite - comprehensive enterprise planning
**Critical for Enterprise**:
- Security architecture and threat modeling
- DevOps pipeline planning
- Comprehensive test strategy
- Risk assessment
- Compliance mapping
---

## Workflow Comparison
| Track | Analysis | Planning | Architecture | Security/Ops | Typical Stories |
| --------------- | ----------- | --------- | ------------ | ------------ | --------------- |
| **Quick Flow** | Optional | Tech-spec | None | None | 1-15 |
| **BMad Method** | Recommended | PRD + UX | Required | None | 10-50+ |
| **Enterprise** | Required | PRD + UX | Required | Required | 30+ |
**Note**: Story counts are GUIDANCE based on typical usage, NOT definitions of tracks.
---
## Brownfield Projects
### Critical First Step
For ALL brownfield projects: Run `document-project` BEFORE planning workflows.
### Why document-project is Critical
**Quick Flow** uses it for:
- Auto-detecting existing patterns
- Understanding codebase structure
- Confirming conventions
**BMad Method** uses it for:
- Architecture inputs (existing structure)
- Integration design
- Pattern consistency
**Enterprise Method** uses it for:
- Security analysis
- Integration architecture
- Risk assessment

**Time**: 3-6 months
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Document-Project First for Brownfield
Always run `document-project` before starting brownfield planning. AI agents need existing codebase context.
### 2. Trust the Recommendation
If `workflow-init` suggests BMad Method, there's probably complexity you haven't considered. Review carefully before overriding.
### 3. Start Smaller if Uncertain
Uncertain between Quick Flow and Method? Start with Quick Flow. You can create PRD later if needed.
### 4. Don't Skip Gate Checks
For BMad Method and Enterprise, gate checks prevent costly mistakes. Invest the time.
### 5. Architecture is Optional but Recommended for Brownfield
Brownfield BMad Method makes architecture optional, but it's highly recommended. It distills complex codebase into focused solution design.
### 6. Discovery Phase Based on Need
Brainstorming and research are offered regardless of track. Use them when you need to think through the problem space.
### 7. Product Brief for Greenfield Method
Product Brief is only offered for greenfield BMad Method and Enterprise. It's optional but helps with strategic thinking.
---
## Key Differences from Legacy System
### Old System (Levels 0-4)
- Arbitrary story count thresholds
- Level 2 vs Level 3 based on story count
- Confusing overlap zones (5-10 stories, 12-40 stories)
- Tech-spec and PRD shown as conflicting options
### New System (3 Tracks)
- Methodology-based distinction (not story counts)
- Story counts as guidance, not definitions
- Clear track purposes:
- Quick Flow = Implementation-focused
- BMad Method = Product + system design
- Enterprise = Extended with security/ops
- Mutually exclusive paths chosen upfront
- Educational decision-making
---
## Migration from Old System
If you have existing projects using the old level system:
- **Level 0-1** → Quick Flow
- **Level 2-3** → BMad Method
- **Level 4** → Enterprise Method
Run `workflow-init` on existing projects to migrate to new tracking system. It detects existing planning artifacts and creates appropriate workflow tracking.

# Test Architect (TEA) Agent Guide
## Overview
- **Persona:** Murat, Master Test Architect and Quality Advisor focused on risk-based testing, fixture architecture, ATDD, and CI/CD governance.
- **Mission:** Deliver actionable quality strategies, automation coverage, and gate decisions that scale with project level and compliance demands.
- **Use When:** Project level ≥2, integration risk is non-trivial, brownfield regression risk exists, or compliance/NFR evidence is required.
## TEA Workflow Lifecycle
TEA integrates across the entire BMad development lifecycle, providing quality assurance at every phase:
```

```
### TEA Integration with BMad v6 Workflow
TEA operates **across all four BMad phases**, unlike other agents that are phase-specific:
<details>
<summary><strong>Cross-Phase Integration & Workflow Complexity</strong></summary>
### Phase-Specific Agents (Standard Pattern)
- **Phase 1 (Analysis)**: Analyst agent
- **Phase 2 (Planning)**: PM agent
- **Phase 3 (Solutioning)**: Architect agent
- **Phase 4 (Implementation)**: SM, DEV agents
### TEA: Cross-Phase Quality Agent (Unique Pattern)
TEA is **the only agent that spans all phases**:
```
Phase 1 (Analysis) → [TEA not typically used]
Phase 2 (Planning) → TEA: *framework, *ci, *test-design (setup)
Phase 3 (Solutioning) → [TEA validates architecture testability]
Phase 4 (Implementation) → TEA: *atdd, *automate, *test-review, *trace (per story)
Epic/Release Gate → TEA: *nfr-assess, *trace Phase 2 (release decision)
```
### Why TEA Needs 8 Workflows
**Standard agents**: 1-3 workflows per phase
**TEA**: 8 workflows across 3+ phases
| Phase | TEA Workflows | Frequency | Purpose |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **Phase 2** | *framework, *ci, \*test-design | Once per project | Establish quality infrastructure |
| **Phase 4** | *atdd, *automate, *test-review, *trace | Per story/sprint | Continuous quality validation |
| **Release** | *nfr-assess, *trace (Phase 2: gate) | Per epic/release | Go/no-go decision |
**Note**: `*trace` is a two-phase workflow: Phase 1 (traceability) + Phase 2 (gate decision). This reduces cognitive load while maintaining natural workflow.
This complexity **requires specialized documentation** (this guide), **extensive knowledge base** (19+ fragments), and **unique architecture** (`testarch/` directory).
</details>
## Prerequisites and Setup
1. Run the core planning workflows first:
- Analyst `*product-brief`
- Product Manager `*prd`
- Architect `*create-architecture`
2. Confirm `bmad/bmm/config.yaml` defines `project_name`, `output_folder`, `dev_story_location`, and language settings.
3. Ensure a test test framework setup exists; if not, use `*framework` command to create a test framework setup, prior to development.
4. Skim supporting references (knowledge under `testarch/`, command workflows under `workflows/testarch/`).
- `tea-index.csv` + `knowledge/*.md`
## High-Level Cheat Sheets
### Greenfield Feature Launch (Level 2)
| Phase | Test Architect | Dev / Team | Outputs |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Setup | - | Analyst `*product-brief`, PM `*prd`, Architect `*create-architecture` | `{output_folder}/product-brief*.md`, `PRD.md`, `epics.md`, `architecture.md` |
| Pre-Implementation | Run `*framework` (if harness missing), `*ci`, and `*test-design` | Review risk/design/CI guidance, align backlog | Test scaffold, CI pipeline, risk and coverage strategy |
| Story Prep | - | Scrum Master `*create-story`, `*story-context` | Story markdown + context XML |
| Implementation | (Optional) Trigger `*atdd` before dev to supply failing tests + checklist | Implement story guided by ATDD checklist | Failing acceptance tests + implementation checklist |
| Post-Dev | Execute `*automate`, (Optional) `*test-review`, re-run `*trace` | Address recommendations, update code/tests | Regression specs, quality report, refreshed coverage matrix |
| Release | (Optional) `*test-review` for final audit, Run `*trace` (Phase 2) | Confirm Definition of Done, share release notes | Quality audit, Gate YAML + release summary (owners, waivers) |
<details>
<summary>Execution Notes</summary>
- Run `*framework` only once per repo or when modern harness support is missing.
- `*framework` followed by `*ci` establishes install + pipeline; `*test-design` then handles risk scoring, mitigations, and scenario planning in one pass.
- Use `*atdd` before coding when the team can adopt ATDD; share its checklist with the dev agent.
- Post-implementation, keep `*trace` current, expand coverage with `*automate`, optionally review test quality with `*test-review`. For release gate, run `*trace` with Phase 2 enabled to get deployment decision.
- Use `*test-review` after `*atdd` to validate generated tests, after `*automate` to ensure regression quality, or before gate for final audit.
</details>
<details>
<summary>Worked Example “Nova CRM” Greenfield Feature</summary>
1. **Planning:** Analyst runs `*product-brief`; PM executes `*prd` to produce PRD and epics; Architect completes `*create-architecture` for the new module.
2. **Setup:** TEA checks harness via `*framework`, configures `*ci`, and runs `*test-design` to capture risk/coverage plans.
3. **Story Prep:** Scrum Master generates the story via `*create-story`; PO validates using `*solutioning-gate-check`.
4. **Implementation:** TEA optionally runs `*atdd`; Dev implements with guidance from failing tests and the plan.
5. **Post-Dev and Release:** TEA runs `*automate`, optionally `*test-review` to audit test quality, re-runs `*trace` with Phase 2 enabled to generate both traceability and gate decision.
</details>
### Brownfield Feature Enhancement (Level 34)
| Phase | Test Architect | Dev / Team | Outputs |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Refresh Context | - | Analyst/PM/Architect rerun planning workflows | Updated planning artifacts in `{output_folder}` |
| Baseline Coverage | Run `*trace` to inventory existing tests | Review matrix, flag hotspots | Coverage matrix + initial gate snippet |
| Risk Targeting | Run `*test-design` | Align remediation/backlog priorities | Brownfield risk memo + scenario matrix |
| Story Prep | - | Scrum Master `*create-story` | Updated story markdown |
| Implementation | (Optional) Run `*atdd` before dev | Implement story, referencing checklist/tests | Failing acceptance tests + implementation checklist |
| Post-Dev | Apply `*automate`, (Optional) `*test-review`, re-run `*trace`, `*nfr-assess` if needed | Resolve gaps, update docs/tests | Regression specs, quality report, refreshed coverage matrix, NFR report |
| Release | (Optional) `*test-review` for final audit, Run `*trace` (Phase 2) | Product Owner `*solutioning-gate-check`, share release notes | Quality audit, Gate YAML + release summary |
<details>
<summary>Execution Notes</summary>
- Lead with `*trace` so remediation plans target true coverage gaps. Ensure `*framework` and `*ci` are in place early in the engagement; if the brownfield lacks them, run those setup steps immediately after refreshing context.
- `*test-design` should highlight regression hotspots, mitigations, and P0 scenarios.
- Use `*atdd` when stories benefit from ATDD; otherwise proceed to implementation and rely on post-dev automation.
- After development, expand coverage with `*automate`, optionally review test quality with `*test-review`, re-run `*trace` (Phase 2 for gate decision). Run `*nfr-assess` now if non-functional risks weren't addressed earlier.
- Use `*test-review` to validate existing brownfield tests or audit new tests before gate.
- Product Owner `*solutioning-gate-check` confirms the team has artifacts before handoff or release.
</details>
<details>
<summary>Worked Example “Atlas Payments” Brownfield Story</summary>
1. **Context Refresh:** Analyst reruns `*product-brief`; PM executes `*prd` to update PRD, analysis, and `epics.md`; Architect triggers `*create-architecture` capturing legacy payment flows.
2. **Baseline Coverage:** TEA executes `*trace` to record current coverage in `docs/qa/assessments/atlas-payment-trace.md`.
3. **Risk and Design:** `*test-design` flags settlement edge cases, plans mitigations, and allocates new API/E2E scenarios with P0 priorities.
4. **Story Prep:** Scrum Master generates `stories/story-1.1.md` via `*create-story`, automatically pulling updated context.
5. **ATDD First:** TEA runs `*atdd`, producing failing Playwright specs under `tests/e2e/payments/` plus an implementation checklist.
6. **Implementation:** Dev pairs with the checklist/tests to deliver the story.
7. **Post-Implementation:** TEA applies `*automate`, optionally `*test-review` to audit test quality, re-runs `*trace` with Phase 2 enabled, performs `*nfr-assess` to validate SLAs. The `*trace` Phase 2 output marks PASS with follow-ups.
</details>
### Enterprise / Compliance Program (Level 4)
| Phase | Test Architect | Dev / Team | Outputs |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| Strategic Planning | - | Analyst/PM/Architect standard workflows | Enterprise-grade PRD, epics, architecture |
| Quality Planning | Run `*framework`, `*test-design`, `*nfr-assess` | Review guidance, align compliance requirements | Harness scaffold, risk + coverage plan, NFR documentation |
| Pipeline Enablement | Configure `*ci` | Coordinate secrets, pipeline approvals | `.github/workflows/test.yml`, helper scripts |
| Execution | Enforce `*atdd`, `*automate`, `*test-review`, `*trace` per story | Implement stories, resolve TEA findings | Tests, fixtures, quality reports, coverage matrices |
| Release | (Optional) `*test-review` for final audit, Run `*trace` (Phase 2) | Capture sign-offs, archive artifacts | Quality audit, updated assessments, gate YAML, audit trail |
<details>
<summary>Execution Notes</summary>
- Use `*atdd` for every story when feasible so acceptance tests lead implementation in regulated environments.
- `*ci` scaffolds selective testing scripts, burn-in jobs, caching, and notifications for long-running suites.
- Enforce `*test-review` per story or sprint to maintain quality standards and ensure compliance with testing best practices.
- Prior to release, rerun coverage (`*trace`, `*automate`), perform final quality audit with `*test-review`, and formalize the decision with `*trace` Phase 2 (gate decision); store everything for audits. Call `*nfr-assess` here if compliance/performance requirements weren't captured during planning.
</details>
<details>
<summary>Worked Example “Helios Ledger” Enterprise Release</summary>
1. **Strategic Planning:** Analyst/PM/Architect complete PRD, epics, and architecture using the standard workflows.
2. **Quality Planning:** TEA runs `*framework`, `*test-design`, and `*nfr-assess` to establish mitigations, coverage, and NFR targets.
3. **Pipeline Setup:** TEA configures CI via `*ci` with selective execution scripts.
4. **Execution:** For each story, TEA enforces `*atdd`, `*automate`, `*test-review`, and `*trace`; Dev teams iterate on the findings.
5. **Release:** TEA re-checks coverage, performs final quality audit with `*test-review`, and logs the final gate decision via `*trace` Phase 2, archiving artifacts for compliance.

## Command Catalog
<details>
<summary><strong>Optional Playwright MCP Enhancements</strong></summary>
**Two Playwright MCP servers** (actively maintained, continuously updated):
- `playwright` - Browser automation (`npx @playwright/mcp@latest`)
- `playwright-test` - Test runner with failure analysis (`npx playwright run-test-mcp-server`)
**How MCP Enhances TEA Workflows**:
MCP provides additional capabilities on top of TEA's default AI-based approach:
1. `*test-design`:
- Default: Analysis + documentation
- **+ MCP**: Interactive UI discovery with `browser_navigate`, `browser_click`, `browser_snapshot`, behavior observation
Benefit:Discover actual functionality, edge cases, undocumented features
2. `*atdd`, `*automate`:
- Default: Infers selectors and interactions from requirements and knowledge fragments
- **+ MCP**: Generates tests **then** verifies with `generator_setup_page`, `browser_*` tools, validates against live app
Benefit: Accurate selectors from real DOM, verified behavior, refined test code
3. `*automate`:
- Default: Pattern-based fixes from error messages + knowledge fragments
- **+ MCP**: Pattern fixes **enhanced with** `browser_snapshot`, `browser_console_messages`, `browser_network_requests`, `browser_generate_locator`
Benefit: Visual failure context, live DOM inspection, root cause discovery
**Config example**:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"playwright": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@playwright/mcp@latest"]
},
"playwright-test": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["playwright", "run-test-mcp-server"]
}
}
}
```
**To disable**: Set `tea_use_mcp_enhancements: false` in `bmad/bmm/config.yaml` OR remove MCPs from IDE config.

## Why TEA is Architecturally Different
TEA is the only BMM agent with its own top-level module directory (`bmm/testarch/`). This intentional design pattern reflects TEA's unique requirements:
<details>
<summary><strong>Unique Architecture Pattern & Rationale</strong></summary>
### Directory Structure
```
src/modules/bmm/
├── agents/
│ └── tea.agent.yaml # Agent definition (standard location)
├── workflows/
│ └── testarch/ # TEA workflows (standard location)
└── testarch/ # Knowledge base (UNIQUE!)
├── knowledge/ # 21 production-ready test pattern fragments
├── tea-index.csv # Centralized knowledge lookup (21 fragments indexed)
└── README.md # This guide
```
### Why TEA Gets Special Treatment
TEA uniquely requires **extensive domain knowledge** (21 fragments, 12,821 lines: test patterns, CI/CD, fixtures, quality practices, healing strategies), a **centralized reference system** (`tea-index.csv` for on-demand fragment loading), **cross-cutting concerns** (domain-specific patterns vs project-specific artifacts like PRDs/stories), and **optional MCP integration** (healing, exploratory, verification modes). Other BMM agents don't require this architecture.

## Setup & Installation Issues
### Problem: BMM not found after installation
**Symptoms:**
- `bmad` command not recognized
- Agent files not accessible
- Workflows don't load
**Solution:**
```bash
# Check if BMM is installed
ls bmad/
# If not present, run installer
npx bmad-method@alpha install
# For fresh install
npx bmad-method@alpha install --skip-version-prompt
```
### Problem: Agents don't have menu
**Symptoms:**
- Load agent file but no menu appears
- Agent doesn't respond to commands
**Solution:**
1. Ensure you're loading the correct agent file path: `bmad/bmm/agents/[agent-name].md`
2. Wait a few seconds for agent to initialize
3. Try asking "show menu" or "help"
4. Check IDE supports Markdown rendering with context
5. For Claude Code: Ensure agent file is open in chat context
### Problem: Workflows not found
**Symptoms:**
- Agent says workflow doesn't exist
- Menu shows workflow but won't run
**Solution:**
1. Check workflow exists: `ls bmad/bmm/workflows/`
2. Verify agent has access to workflow (check agent's workflow list)
3. Try using menu number instead of workflow name
4. Restart chat with agent in fresh session
---
## Level Detection Problems
### Problem: workflow-init suggests wrong level
**Symptoms:**
- Detects Level 3 but you only need Level 1
- Suggests Level 1 but project is actually Level 2
- Can't figure out appropriate level
**Solution:**
1. **Override the suggestion** - workflow-init always asks for confirmation, just say "no" and choose correct level
2. **Be specific in description** - Use level keywords when describing:
- "fix bug" → Level 0
- "add small feature" → Level 1
- "build dashboard" → Level 2
3. **Manual override** - You can always switch levels later if needed
**Example:**
```
workflow-init: "Level 3 project?"
You: "No, this is just adding OAuth login - Level 1"
workflow-init: "Got it, creating Level 1 workflow"
```
### Problem: Project level unclear
**Symptoms:**
- Between Level 1 and Level 2
- Not sure if architecture needed
- Story count uncertain
**Solution:**
**When in doubt, start smaller:**
- Choose Level 1 instead of Level 2
- You can always run `create-prd` later if needed
- Level 1 is faster, less overhead
- Easy to upgrade, hard to downgrade
**Decision criteria:**
- Single epic with related stories? → Level 1
- Multiple independent epics? → Level 2
- Need product-level planning? → Level 2
- Just need technical plan? → Level 1
### Problem: Old planning docs influencing level detection
**Symptoms:**
- Old Level 3 PRD in folder
- Working on new Level 0 bug fix
- workflow-init suggests Level 3
**Solution:**
workflow-init asks: "Is this work in progress or previous effort?"
- Answer: "Previous effort"
- Then describe your NEW work clearly
- System will detect level based on NEW work, not old artifacts
---
## Workflow Issues
### Problem: Workflow fails or hangs
**Symptoms:**
- Workflow starts but doesn't complete
- Agent stops responding mid-workflow
- Progress stalls
**Solution:**
1. **Check context limits** - Start fresh chat for complex workflows
2. **Verify prerequisites**:
- Phase 2 needs Phase 1 complete (if used)
- Phase 3 needs Phase 2 complete
- Phase 4 needs Phase 3 complete (if Level 3-4)
3. **Restart workflow** - Load agent in new chat and restart
4. **Check status file** - Verify `bmm-workflow-status.md` or `sprint-status.yaml` is present and valid
### Problem: Agent says "workflow not found"
**Symptoms:**
- Request workflow by name
- Agent doesn't recognize it
- Menu doesn't show workflow
**Solution:**
1. Check spelling/format - Use exact workflow name or menu shortcut (*prd not *PRD)
2. Verify agent has workflow:
- PM agent: prd, tech-spec
- Architect agent: create-architecture, validate-architecture
- SM agent: sprint-planning, create-story, story-context
3. Try menu number instead of name
4. Check you're using correct agent for workflow
### Problem: Sprint-planning workflow fails
**Symptoms:**
- Can't create sprint-status.yaml
- Epics not extracted from files
- Status file empty or incorrect
**Solution:**
1. **Verify epic files exist**:
- Level 1: tech-spec with epic
- Level 2-4: epics.md or sharded epic files
2. **Check file format**:
- Epic files should be valid Markdown
- Epic headers should be clear (## Epic Name)
3. **Run in Phase 4 only** - Ensure Phase 2/3 complete first
4. **Check file paths** - Epic files should be in correct output folder
### Problem: story-context generates empty or wrong context
**Symptoms:**
- Context file created but has no useful content
- Context doesn't reference existing code
- Missing technical guidance
**Solution:**
1. **Run epic-tech-context first** - story-context builds on epic context
2. **Check story file exists** - Verify story was created by create-story
3. **For brownfield**:
- Ensure document-project was run
- Verify docs/index.md exists with codebase context
4. **Try regenerating** - Sometimes needs fresh attempt with more specific story details
---
## Context & Documentation Issues
### Problem: AI agents lack codebase understanding (Brownfield)
**Symptoms:**
- Suggestions don't align with existing patterns
- Ignores available components
- Proposes approaches that conflict with architecture
- Doesn't reference existing code
**Solution:**
1. **Run document-project** - Critical for brownfield projects
```
Load Analyst agent → run document-project
Choose scan level: Deep (recommended for PRD prep)
```
2. **Verify docs/index.md exists** - This is master entry point for AI agents
3. **Check documentation completeness**:
- Review generated docs/index.md
- Ensure key systems are documented
4. **Run deep-dive on specific areas** if needed
### Problem: Have documentation but agents can't find it
**Symptoms:**
- README.md, ARCHITECTURE.md exist
- AI agents still ask questions answered in docs
- No docs/index.md file
**Solution:**
**Option 1: Quick fix (2-5min)**
Run `index-docs` task:
- Located at `bmad/core/tasks/index-docs.xml`
- Scans existing docs and generates index.md
- Lightweight, just creates navigation
**Option 2: Comprehensive (10-30min)**
Run document-project workflow:
- Discovers existing docs in Step 2
- Generates NEW AI-friendly documentation from codebase
- Creates index.md linking to BOTH existing and new docs
**Why this matters:** AI agents need structured entry point (index.md) to navigate docs efficiently.
### Problem: document-project takes too long
**Symptoms:**
- Exhaustive scan running for hours
- Impatient to start planning
**Solution:**
**Choose appropriate scan level:**
- **Quick (2-5min)** - Pattern analysis, no source reading - Good for initial overview
- **Deep (10-30min)** - Reads critical paths - **Recommended for most brownfield projects**
- **Exhaustive (30-120min)** - Reads all files - Only for migration planning or complete understanding
For most brownfield projects, **Deep scan is sufficient**.
---
## Implementation Issues
### Problem: Existing tests breaking (Brownfield)
**Symptoms:**
- Regression test failures
- Previously working functionality broken
- Integration tests failing
**Solution:**
1. **Review changes against existing patterns**:
- Check if new code follows existing conventions
- Verify API contracts unchanged (unless intentionally versioned)
2. **Run test-review workflow** (TEA agent):
- Analyzes test coverage
- Identifies regression risks
- Suggests fixes
3. **Add regression testing to DoD**:
- All existing tests must pass
- Add integration tests for new code
4. **Consider feature flags** for gradual rollout
### Problem: Story takes much longer than estimated
**Symptoms:**
- Story estimated 4 hours, took 12 hours
- Acceptance criteria harder than expected
- Hidden complexity discovered
**Solution:**
**This is normal!** Estimates are estimates. To handle:
1. **Continue until DoD met** - Don't compromise quality
2. **Document learnings in retrospective**:
- What caused the overrun?
- What should we watch for next time?
3. **Consider splitting story** if it's truly two stories
4. **Adjust future estimates** based on this data
**Don't stress about estimate accuracy** - use them for learning, not judgment.
### Problem: Integration points unclear
**Symptoms:**
- Not sure how to connect new code to existing
- Unsure which files to modify
- Multiple possible integration approaches
**Solution:**
1. **For brownfield**:
- Ensure document-project captured existing architecture
- Review architecture docs before implementing
2. **Check story-context** - Should document integration points
3. **In tech-spec/architecture** - Explicitly document:
- Which existing modules to modify
- What APIs/services to integrate with
- Data flow between new and existing code
4. **Run integration-planning workflow** (Level 3-4):
- Architect agent creates integration strategy
### Problem: Inconsistent patterns being introduced
**Symptoms:**
- New code style doesn't match existing
- Different architectural approach
- Not following team conventions
**Solution:**
1. **Check convention detection** (Quick Spec Flow):
- Should detect existing patterns
- Asks for confirmation before proceeding
2. **Review documentation** - Ensure document-project captured patterns
3. **Use story-context** - Injects pattern guidance per story
4. **Add to code-review checklist**:
- Pattern adherence
- Convention consistency
- Style matching
5. **Run retrospective** to identify pattern deviations early
---
## File & Path Issues
### Problem: Output files in wrong location
**Symptoms:**
- PRD created in wrong folder
- Story files not where expected
- Documentation scattered
**Solution:**
Check `bmad/bmm/config.yaml` for configured paths:
```yaml
output_folder: '{project-root}/docs'
dev_story_location: '{project-root}/docs/stories'
```
Default locations:
- Planning docs (PRD, epics, architecture): `{output_folder}/`
- Stories: `{dev_story_location}/`
- Status files: `{output_folder}/bmm-workflow-status.md`, `{output_folder}/sprint-status.yaml`
To change locations, edit config.yaml then re-run workflows.
### Problem: Can't find status file
**Symptoms:**
- workflow-status says no status file
- Can't track progress
- Lost place in workflow
**Solution:**
1. **Check default location**: `docs/bmm-workflow-status.md`
2. **If missing, reinitialize**:
```
Load Analyst agent → run workflow-init
```
3. **For Phase 4**: Look for `sprint-status.yaml` in same folder as PRD
4. **Search for it**:
```bash
find . -name "bmm-workflow-status.md"
find . -name "sprint-status.yaml"
```
### Problem: Sprint-status.yaml not updating
**Symptoms:**
- Workflows complete but status unchanged
- Stories stuck in old status
- Epic status not progressing
**Solution:**
1. **Manual update required** - Most status changes are manual:
```yaml
stories:
- id: epic-1-story-1
status: done # Change this manually
```
2. **Some workflows auto-update**:
- sprint-planning creates file
- epic-tech-context changes epic to "contexted"
- create-story changes story to "drafted"
- story-context changes to "ready-for-dev"
- dev-story may auto-update (check workflow)
3. **Re-run sprint-planning** to resync if needed
---
## Agent Behavior Issues
### Problem: Agent provides vague or generic responses
**Symptoms:**
- "Use appropriate framework"
- "Follow best practices"
- Generic advice without specifics
**Solution:**
1. **Provide more context** - Be specific in your description:
- "Add OAuth using passport.js to Express server"
- Not: "Add authentication"
2. **For brownfield**:
- Ensure document-project was run
- Agent needs codebase context for specific advice
3. **Reference existing docs**:
- "Based on the existing auth system in UserService..."
4. **Start fresh chat** - Context overload can cause generic responses
### Problem: Agent hallucinating or making up information
**Symptoms:**
- References files that don't exist
- Suggests APIs that aren't in your stack
- Creates imaginary requirements
**Solution:**
1. **Use fresh chat** - Context overflow main cause of hallucinations
2. **Provide concrete constraints**:
- "We use Express 4.18.2, not Next.js"
- "Our database is PostgreSQL, not MongoDB"
3. **For brownfield**:
- Document-project provides factual grounding
- Agent sees actual code, not assumptions
4. **Correct immediately**:
- "No, we don't have UserService, we have AuthenticationModule"
### Problem: Agent won't follow instructions
**Symptoms:**
- Ignores specific requests
- Does something different than asked
- Doesn't respect constraints
**Solution:**
1. **Be more explicit** - Agents respond to clear, specific instructions:
- "Use EXACTLY these three steps..."
- "Do NOT include database migrations in this story"
2. **Check agent capabilities** - Agent might not have access to requested workflow
3. **Try different phrasing** - Rephrase request to be more direct
4. **Use menu system** - Numbers are clearer than text commands
---
## Integration Issues (Brownfield)
### Problem: New code conflicts with existing architecture
**Symptoms:**
- Integration approach doesn't fit existing structure
- Would require major refactoring
- Conflicts with established patterns
**Solution:**
1. **Check if document-project was run** - Agents need architecture context
2. **Review existing architecture docs**:
- Read docs/architecture.md (from document-project)
- Understand current system design
3. **For Level 3-4**:
- Run validate-architecture workflow before planning
- Use integration-planning workflow
4. **Explicitly document integration strategy** in architecture:
- How new components fit existing structure
- What modifications needed to existing code
- Migration path if changing patterns
### Problem: Breaking changes to existing APIs
**Symptoms:**
- Changing API breaks consumers
- Downstream services affected
- Need backward compatibility
**Solution:**
1. **Identify all API consumers** (document-project should show this)
2. **Plan versioning strategy**:
- API v1 (existing) + v2 (new)
- Deprecation timeline
3. **Use feature flags** for gradual rollout
4. **Document migration guide** for API consumers
5. **Add to testing strategy**:
- Existing consumers still work (v1)
- New functionality works (v2)
### Problem: Data migration required
**Symptoms:**
- Schema changes needed
- Existing data needs transformation
- Risk of data loss
**Solution:**
1. **Create explicit migration strategy** in architecture:
- Forward migration (old → new schema)
- Rollback plan (new → old schema)
- Data validation approach
2. **Test migrations thoroughly**:
- On copy of production data
- Measure performance impact
3. **Plan rollout**:
- Staging environment first
- Gradual production rollout
- Monitoring for issues
4. **Document in tech-spec/architecture**:
- Migration scripts
- Rollback procedures
- Expected downtime

## Common Error Messages
### "No workflow status file found"
**Cause:** Haven't run workflow-init yet
**Fix:** Load Analyst agent → run workflow-init
### "Epic file not found"
**Cause:** PRD/epics not created, or wrong path
**Fix:** Verify PRD/epics exist in output folder, check config.yaml paths
### "Story not in sprint-status.yaml"
**Cause:** Sprint-planning not run, or story file not created
**Fix:** Run sprint-planning workflow, verify story files exist
### "Documentation insufficient for brownfield"
**Cause:** No docs/index.md or document-project not run
**Fix:** Run document-project workflow with Deep scan
### "Level detection failed"
**Cause:** Ambiguous project description
**Fix:** Be more specific, use level keywords (fix, feature, platform, etc.)
### "Context generation failed"
**Cause:** Missing prerequisites (epic context, story file, or docs)
**Fix:** Verify epic-tech-context run, story file exists, docs present
---
## Prevention Tips
**Avoid common issues before they happen:**
1. ✅ **Always run document-project for brownfield** - Saves hours of context issues later
2. ✅ **Use fresh chats for complex workflows** - Prevents hallucinations and context overflow
3. ✅ **Verify files exist before running workflows** - Check PRD, epics, stories are present
4. ✅ **Read agent menu before requesting workflows** - Confirm agent has the workflow
5. ✅ **Start with smaller level if unsure** - Easy to upgrade (Level 1 → 2), hard to downgrade
6. ✅ **Keep status files updated** - Manual updates when needed, don't let them drift
7. ✅ **Run retrospectives after epics** - Catch issues early, improve next epic
8. ✅ **Follow phase sequence** - Don't skip required phases (Phase 2 before 3, 3 before 4)

# Decision Architecture Workflow - Technical Reference
**Module:** BMM (BMAD Method Module)
**Type:** Solutioning Workflow
---
## Overview
The Decision Architecture workflow is a complete reimagining of how architectural decisions are made in the BMAD Method. Instead of template-driven documentation, this workflow facilitates an intelligent conversation that produces a **decision-focused architecture document** optimized for preventing AI agent conflicts during implementation.
---
## Core Philosophy
**The Problem**: When multiple AI agents implement different parts of a system, they make conflicting technical decisions leading to incompatible implementations.
**The Solution**: A "consistency contract" that documents all critical technical decisions upfront, ensuring every agent follows the same patterns and uses the same technologies.
---
## Key Features
### 1. Starter Template Intelligence ⭐ NEW
- Discovers relevant starter templates (create-next-app, create-t3-app, etc.)
- Considers UX requirements when selecting templates (animations, accessibility, etc.)
- Searches for current CLI options and defaults
- Documents decisions made BY the starter template
- Makes remaining architectural decisions around the starter foundation
- First implementation story becomes "initialize with starter command"
### 2. Adaptive Facilitation
- Adjusts conversation style based on user skill level (beginner/intermediate/expert)
- Experts get rapid, technical discussions
- Beginners receive education and protection from complexity
- Everyone produces the same high-quality output
### 3. Dynamic Version Verification
- NEVER trusts hardcoded version numbers
- Uses WebSearch to find current stable versions
- Verifies versions during the conversation
- Documents only verified, current versions
### 4. Intelligent Discovery
- No rigid project type templates
- Analyzes PRD to identify which decisions matter for THIS project
- Uses knowledge base of decisions and patterns
- Scales to infinite project types
### 5. Collaborative Decision Making
- Facilitates discussion for each critical decision
- Presents options with trade-offs
- Integrates advanced elicitation for innovative approaches
- Ensures decisions are coherent and compatible
### 6. Consistent Output
- Structured decision collection during conversation
- Strict document generation from collected decisions
- Validated against hard requirements
- Optimized for AI agent consumption
---
## Workflow Structure
```
Step 0: Validate workflow and extract project configuration
Step 0.5: Validate workflow sequencing
Step 1: Load PRD and understand project context
Step 2: Discover and evaluate starter templates ⭐ NEW
Step 3: Adapt facilitation style and identify remaining decisions
Step 4: Facilitate collaborative decision making (with version verification)
Step 5: Address cross-cutting concerns
Step 6: Define project structure and boundaries
Step 7: Design novel architectural patterns (when needed) ⭐ NEW
Step 8: Define implementation patterns to prevent agent conflicts
Step 9: Validate architectural coherence
Step 10: Generate decision architecture document (with initialization commands)
Step 11: Validate document completeness
Step 12: Final review and update workflow status
```
---
## Files in This Workflow
- **workflow.yaml** - Configuration and metadata
- **instructions.md** - The adaptive facilitation flow
- **decision-catalog.yaml** - Knowledge base of all architectural decisions
- **architecture-patterns.yaml** - Common patterns identified from requirements
- **pattern-categories.csv** - Pattern principles that teach LLM what needs defining
- **checklist.md** - Validation requirements for the output document
- **architecture-template.md** - Strict format for the final document
---
## How It's Different from Old architecture
| Aspect | Old Workflow | New Workflow |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Approach** | Template-driven | Conversation-driven |
| **Project Types** | 11 rigid types with 22+ files | Infinite flexibility with intelligent discovery |
| **User Interaction** | Output sections with "Continue?" | Collaborative decision facilitation |
| **Skill Adaptation** | One-size-fits-all | Adapts to beginner/intermediate/expert |
| **Decision Making** | Late in process (Step 5) | Upfront and central focus |
| **Output** | Multiple documents including faux tech-specs | Single decision-focused architecture |
| **Time** | Confusing and slow | 30-90 minutes depending on skill level |
| **Elicitation** | Never used | Integrated at decision points |
---
## Expected Inputs
- **PRD** (Product Requirements Document) with:
- Functional Requirements
- Non-Functional Requirements
- Performance and compliance needs
- **Epics** file with:
- User stories
- Acceptance criteria
- Dependencies
- **UX Spec** (Optional but valuable) with:
- Interface designs and interaction patterns
- Accessibility requirements (WCAG levels)
- Animation and transition needs
- Platform-specific UI requirements
- Performance expectations for interactions
---
## Output Document
A single `architecture.md` file containing:
- Executive summary (2-3 sentences)
- Project initialization command (if using starter template)
- Decision summary table with verified versions and epic mapping
- Complete project structure
- Integration specifications
- Consistency rules for AI agents
---
## How Novel Pattern Design Works
Step 7 handles unique or complex patterns that need to be INVENTED:
### 1. Detection
The workflow analyzes the PRD for concepts that don't have standard solutions:
- Novel interaction patterns (e.g., "swipe to match" when Tinder doesn't exist)
- Complex multi-epic workflows (e.g., "viral invitation system")
- Unique data relationships (e.g., "social graph" before Facebook)
- New paradigms (e.g., "ephemeral messages" before Snapchat)
### 2. Design Collaboration
Instead of just picking technologies, the workflow helps DESIGN the solution:
- Identifies the core problem to solve
- Explores different approaches with the user
- Documents how components interact
- Creates sequence diagrams for complex flows
- Uses elicitation to find innovative solutions
### 3. Documentation
Novel patterns become part of the architecture with:
- Pattern name and purpose
- Component interactions
- Data flow diagrams
- Which epics/stories are affected
- Implementation guidance for agents
### 4. Example
```
PRD: "Users can create 'circles' of friends with overlapping membership"
Workflow detects: This is a novel social structure pattern
Designs with user: Circle membership model, permission cascading, UI patterns
Documents: "Circle Pattern" with component design and data flow
All agents understand how to implement circle-related features consistently
```
---
## How Implementation Patterns Work
Step 8 prevents agent conflicts by defining patterns for consistency:
### 1. The Core Principle
> "Any time multiple agents might make the SAME decision DIFFERENTLY, that's a pattern to capture"
The LLM asks: "What could an agent encounter where they'd have to guess?"
### 2. Pattern Categories (principles, not prescriptions)
- **Naming**: How things are named (APIs, database fields, files)
- **Structure**: How things are organized (folders, modules, layers)
- **Format**: How data is formatted (JSON structures, responses)
- **Communication**: How components talk (events, messages, protocols)
- **Lifecycle**: How states change (workflows, transitions)
- **Location**: Where things go (URLs, paths, storage)
- **Consistency**: Cross-cutting concerns (dates, errors, logs)
### 3. LLM Intelligence
- Uses the principle to identify patterns beyond the 7 categories
- Figures out what specific patterns matter for chosen tech
- Only asks about patterns that could cause conflicts
- Skips obvious patterns that the tech choice determines
### 4. Example
```
Tech chosen: REST API + PostgreSQL + React
LLM identifies needs:
- REST: URL structure, response format, status codes
- PostgreSQL: table naming, column naming, FK patterns
- React: component structure, state management, test location
Facilitates each with user
Documents as Implementation Patterns in architecture
```
---
## How Starter Templates Work
When the workflow detects a project type that has a starter template:
1. **Discovery**: Searches for relevant starter templates based on PRD
2. **Investigation**: Looks up current CLI options and defaults
3. **Presentation**: Shows user what the starter provides
4. **Integration**: Documents starter decisions as "PROVIDED BY STARTER"
5. **Continuation**: Only asks about decisions NOT made by starter
6. **Documentation**: Includes exact initialization command in architecture
### Example Flow
```
PRD says: "Next.js web application with authentication"
Workflow finds: create-next-app and create-t3-app
User chooses: create-t3-app (includes auth setup)
Starter provides: Next.js, TypeScript, tRPC, Prisma, NextAuth, Tailwind
Workflow only asks about: Database choice, deployment target, additional services
First story becomes: "npx create t3-app@latest my-app --trpc --nextauth --prisma"
```
---
## Usage
```bash
# In your BMAD-enabled project
workflow architecture
```
The AI agent will:
1. Load your PRD and epics
2. Identify critical decisions needed
3. Facilitate discussion on each decision
4. Generate a comprehensive architecture document
5. Validate completeness
---
## Design Principles
1. **Facilitation over Prescription** - Guide users to good decisions rather than imposing templates
2. **Intelligence over Templates** - Use AI understanding rather than rigid structures
3. **Decisions over Details** - Focus on what prevents agent conflicts, not implementation minutiae
4. **Adaptation over Uniformity** - Meet users where they are while ensuring quality output
5. **Collaboration over Output** - The conversation matters as much as the document
---
## For Developers
This workflow assumes:
- Single developer + AI agents (not teams)
- Speed matters (decisions in minutes, not days)
- AI agents need clear constraints to prevent conflicts
- The architecture document is for agents, not humans
---
## Migration from architecture
Projects using the old `architecture` workflow should:
1. Complete any in-progress architecture work
2. Use `architecture` for new projects
3. The old workflow remains available but is deprecated

## How to Invoke
```bash
workflow document-project
```
Or from BMAD CLI:
```bash
/bmad:bmm:workflows:document-project
```
---
## Scan Levels (NEW in v1.2.0)
Choose the right scan depth for your needs:
### 1. Quick Scan (Default)
**Duration:** 2-5 minutes
**What it does:** Pattern-based analysis without reading source files
**Reads:** Config files, package manifests, directory structure, README
**Use when:**
- You need a fast project overview
- Initial understanding of project structure
- Planning next steps before deeper analysis
**Does NOT read:** Source code files (_.js, _.ts, _.py, _.go, etc.)
### 2. Deep Scan
**Duration:** 10-30 minutes
**What it does:** Reads files in critical directories based on project type
**Reads:** Files in critical paths defined by documentation requirements
**Use when:**
- Creating comprehensive documentation for brownfield PRD
- Need detailed analysis of key areas
- Want balance between depth and speed
**Example:** For a web app, reads controllers/, models/, components/, but not every utility file
### 3. Exhaustive Scan
**Duration:** 30-120 minutes
**What it does:** Reads ALL source files in project
**Reads:** Every source file (excludes node_modules, dist, build, .git)
**Use when:**
- Complete project analysis needed
- Migration planning requires full understanding
- Detailed audit of entire codebase
- Deep technical debt assessment
**Note:** Deep-dive mode ALWAYS uses exhaustive scan (no choice)
---
## Resumability (NEW in v1.2.0)
The workflow can be interrupted and resumed without losing progress:
- **State Tracking:** Progress saved in `project-scan-report.json`
- **Auto-Detection:** Workflow detects incomplete runs (<24 hours old)
- **Resume Prompt:** Choose to resume or start fresh
- **Step-by-Step:** Resume from exact step where interrupted
- **Archiving:** Old state files automatically archived
**Example Resume Flow:**
```
> workflow document-project
I found an in-progress workflow state from 2025-10-11 14:32:15.
Current Progress:
- Mode: initial_scan
- Scan Level: deep
- Completed Steps: 5/12
- Last Step: step_5
Would you like to:
1. Resume from where we left off - Continue from step 6
2. Start fresh - Archive old state and begin new scan
3. Cancel - Exit without changes
Your choice [1/2/3]:
```
---
## What It Does
### Step-by-Step Process
1. **Detects Project Structure** - Identifies if project is single-part or multi-part (client/server/etc.)
2. **Classifies Project Type** - Matches against 12 project types (web, backend, mobile, etc.)
3. **Discovers Documentation** - Finds existing README, CONTRIBUTING, ARCHITECTURE files
4. **Analyzes Tech Stack** - Parses package files, identifies frameworks, versions, dependencies
5. **Conditional Scanning** - Performs targeted analysis based on project type requirements:
- API routes and endpoints
- Database models and schemas
- State management patterns
- UI component libraries
- Configuration and security
- CI/CD and deployment configs
6. **Generates Source Tree** - Creates annotated directory structure with critical paths
7. **Extracts Dev Instructions** - Documents setup, build, run, and test commands
8. **Creates Architecture Docs** - Generates detailed architecture using matched templates

```
---
## Deep-Dive Mode
### What is Deep-Dive Mode?
When you run the workflow on a project that already has documentation, you'll be offered a choice:
1. **Rescan entire project** - Update all documentation with latest changes
2. **Deep-dive into specific area** - Generate EXHAUSTIVE documentation for a particular feature/module/folder
3. **Cancel** - Keep existing documentation
Deep-dive mode performs **comprehensive, file-by-file analysis** of a specific area, reading EVERY file completely and documenting:
- All exports with complete signatures
- All imports and dependencies
- Dependency graphs and data flow
- Code patterns and implementations
- Testing coverage and strategies
- Integration points
- Reuse opportunities
### When to Use Deep-Dive Mode
- **Before implementing a feature** - Deep-dive the area you'll be modifying
- **During architecture review** - Deep-dive complex modules
- **For code understanding** - Deep-dive unfamiliar parts of codebase
- **When creating PRDs** - Deep-dive areas affected by new features
### Deep-Dive Process
1. Workflow detects existing `index.md`
2. Offers deep-dive option
3. Suggests areas based on project structure:
- API route groups
- Feature modules
- UI component areas
- Services/business logic
4. You select area or specify custom path
5. Workflow reads EVERY file in that area
6. Generates `deep-dive-{area-name}.md` with complete analysis
7. Updates `index.md` with link to deep-dive doc
8. Offers to deep-dive another area or finish
### Deep-Dive Output Example
**docs/deep-dive-dashboard-feature.md:**
- Complete file inventory (47 files analyzed)
- Every export with signatures
- Dependency graph
- Data flow analysis
- Integration points
- Testing coverage
- Related code references
- Implementation guidance
- ~3,000 LOC documented in detail
### Incremental Deep-Diving
You can deep-dive multiple areas over time:
- First run: Scan entire project → generates index.md
- Second run: Deep-dive dashboard feature
- Third run: Deep-dive API layer
- Fourth run: Deep-dive authentication system
All deep-dive docs are linked from the master index.
---
## Validation
The workflow includes a comprehensive 160+ point checklist covering:
- Project detection accuracy
- Technology stack completeness
- Codebase scanning thoroughness
- Architecture documentation quality
- Multi-part handling (if applicable)
- Brownfield PRD readiness
- Deep-dive completeness (if applicable)
---
## Next Steps After Completion
1. **Review** `docs/index.md` - Your master documentation index
2. **Validate** - Check generated docs for accuracy
3. **Use for PRD** - Point brownfield PRD workflow to index.md
4. **Maintain** - Re-run workflow when architecture changes significantly
---
## File Structure
```
document-project/
├── workflow.yaml # Workflow configuration
├── instructions.md # Step-by-step workflow logic
├── checklist.md # Validation criteria
├── documentation-requirements.csv # Project type scanning patterns
├── templates/ # Output templates
│ ├── index-template.md
│ ├── project-overview-template.md
│ └── source-tree-template.md
└── README.md # This file
```
---
## Troubleshooting
**Issue: Project type not detected correctly**
- Solution: Workflow will ask for confirmation; manually select correct type
**Issue: Missing critical information**
- Solution: Provide additional context when prompted; re-run specific analysis steps
**Issue: Multi-part detection missed a part**
- Solution: When asked to confirm parts, specify the missing part and its path
**Issue: Architecture template doesn't match well**
- Solution: Check registry.csv; may need to add new template or adjust matching criteria
---
## Architecture Improvements in v1.2.0
### Context-Safe Design
The workflow now uses a write-as-you-go architecture:
- Documents written immediately to disk (not accumulated in memory)
- Detailed findings purged after writing (only summaries kept)
- State tracking enables resumption from any step
- Batching strategy prevents context exhaustion on large projects
### Batching Strategy
For deep/exhaustive scans:
- Process ONE subfolder at a time
- Read files → Extract info → Write output → Validate → Purge context
- Primary concern is file SIZE (not count)
- Track batches in state file for resumability
### State File Format
Optimized JSON (no pretty-printing):
```json
{
"workflow_version": "1.2.0",
"timestamps": {...},
"mode": "initial_scan",
"scan_level": "deep",
"completed_steps": [...],
"current_step": "step_6",
"findings": {"summary": "only"},
"outputs_generated": [...],
"resume_instructions": "..."
}
```

---
## Best Practices for Phase 1
### 1. Don't Over-Invest in Analysis
Analysis workflows are optional for a reason. If you already know what you're building and why, skip to Phase 2 (Planning).
### 2. Iterate Between Workflows
It's common to:
1. Run **brainstorm-project** to explore
2. Use **research** to validate
3. Create **product-brief** to synthesize
### 3. Document Assumptions
Analysis phase is about surfacing and validating assumptions. Document them explicitly so planning can challenge them.
### 4. Keep It Strategic
Analysis workflows focus on "what" and "why", not "how". Leave implementation details for Planning and Solutioning phases.
### 5. Involve Stakeholders
Analysis workflows are collaborative. Use them to align stakeholders before committing to detailed planning.
---
## Decision Guide: Which Analysis Workflow?
### Starting a Software Project
1. **brainstorm-project** (if unclear solution) → **research** (market/technical) → **product-brief**
### Starting a Game Project
1. **brainstorm-game** (if generating concepts) → **research** (market/competitive) → **game-brief**
### Validating an Idea
1. **research** (market type) → **product-brief** or **game-brief**
### Technical Decision
1. **research** (technical type) → Use ADR in **architecture** (Phase 3)
### Understanding Market
1. **research** (market or competitive type) → **product-brief**
### Generating Deep Research
1. **research** (deep_prompt type) → External AI research platform → Return with findings
---
## Integration with Phase 2 (Planning)
Analysis workflows feed directly into Planning:
| Analysis Output | Planning Input |
| --------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| product-brief.md | **prd** workflow |
| game-brief.md | **gdd** workflow |
| market-research.md | **prd** context |
| technical-research.md | **architecture** (Phase 3) |
| competitive-intelligence.md | **prd** positioning |
The Planning phase (Phase 2) will load these documents automatically if they exist in the output folder.
---
## Summary
Phase 1 Analysis workflows are your strategic thinking tools. Use them to:
- **Explore** problem spaces and solutions
- **Validate** ideas before heavy investment
- **Align** stakeholders on vision
- **Research** markets, competitors, and technologies
- **Document** strategic thinking for future reference
Remember: **These workflows are optional.** If you know what you're building and why, skip to Phase 2 (Planning) to define requirements and create your PRD/GDD.

# BMM Solutioning Workflows (Phase 3)
**Reading Time:** ~8 minutes
## Overview
Phase 3 (Solutioning) workflows translate **what** to build (from Planning) into **how** to build it (technical design). This phase is **required for Levels 3-4** and **optional for Level 2** projects.
**Key principle:** Prevent agent conflicts by making architectural decisions explicit and documented before implementation begins.
## Quick Reference
| Workflow | Project Levels | Duration | Purpose |
| -------------------------- | -------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **architecture** | 2-4 | 2-6 hours | Technical architecture and design decisions |
| **solutioning-gate-check** | 3-4 | 15-30 min | Validate planning/solutioning completeness |
**When to Skip Solutioning:**
- **Level 0-1**: Simple changes don't need architecture → Skip to Phase 4 (Implementation)
- **Level 2**: Optional - use if technically complex, skip if straightforward
**When Solutioning is Required:**
- **Level 3-4**: Multi-epic, multi-agent projects → Architecture prevents conflicts
---
## Understanding the Solutioning Phase
### Why Solutioning Matters
**Problem Without Solutioning:**
1. DEV agent implements Epic 1 using REST API
2. DEV agent implements Epic 2 using GraphQL
3. **Conflict**: Inconsistent API design, integration nightmare
**Solution With Solutioning:**
1. **architecture** workflow decides: "Use GraphQL for all APIs"
2. All DEV agents follow architecture decisions
3. **Result**: Consistent implementation, no conflicts
### Solutioning vs Planning
| Aspect | Planning (Phase 2) | Solutioning (Phase 3) |
| -------- | ------------------ | ------------------------ |
| Question | What and Why? | How? |
| Output | Requirements | Technical Design |
| Agent | PM | Architect |
| Audience | Stakeholders | Developers |
| Document | PRD/GDD | Architecture + Tech Spec |
| Level | Business logic | Implementation detail |
### Scale-Adaptive Solutioning
**Level 0-1 (Skip Solutioning):**
- Planning: Quick Spec (tech-spec workflow)
- Solutioning: **None**
- Implementation: dev-story directly
**Level 2 (Optional Solutioning):**
- Planning: Lightweight PRD
- Solutioning: **Optional** architecture
- Implementation: dev-story with or without architecture
**Level 3-4 (Required Solutioning):**
- Planning: Standard/Comprehensive PRD
- Solutioning: **Required** architecture + epic-tech-context
- Gate Check: **Required** solutioning-gate-check
- Implementation: dev-story guided by architecture
---
## architecture
### Purpose
Collaborative architectural decision facilitation that produces a decision-focused architecture document optimized for preventing agent conflicts. Replaces template-driven architecture with intelligent, adaptive conversation.
**Agent:** Architect
**Phase:** 3 (Solutioning)
**Project Levels:** 2-4
**Required:** Level 3-4, Optional Level 2
**Typical Duration:**
- Level 2: 1-2 hours (Simple architecture)

- Technology choices need alignment
**When to Skip:**
- Level 0-1 (simple changes)
- Level 2 with straightforward tech stack
- Single epic with clear technical approach
### Adaptive Conversation Approach
**This is NOT a template filler.** The architecture workflow:
1. **Discovers** your technical needs through conversation
2. **Proposes** architectural options with trade-offs
3. **Documents** decisions that prevent agent conflicts

### Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
**Purpose:** Document **why** decisions were made, not just what was decided.
**ADR Template:**
```markdown
## ADR-001: Use GraphQL for All APIs
**Status:** Accepted
**Date:** 2025-11-02
**Context:** PRD requires flexible querying across multiple epics
**Decision:** Use GraphQL for all client-server communication
**Options Considered:**
1. REST API - Familiar, well-understood, but requires multiple endpoints
2. GraphQL - Flexible querying, single endpoint, learning curve
3. gRPC - High performance, but poor browser support
**Rationale:**
- PRD requires flexible data fetching (Epic 1, Epic 3)
- Mobile app needs bandwidth optimization (Epic 2)
- Team has GraphQL experience from previous project
- Allows frontend flexibility without backend changes
**Consequences:**
- Positive: Flexible querying, reduced API versioning
- Negative: Caching complexity, N+1 query risk
- Mitigation: Use DataLoader for batching
**Implications for Epics:**
- Epic 1: User Management → GraphQL mutations
- Epic 2: Mobile App → Optimized queries
- Epic 3: Admin Dashboard → Complex nested queries
```
### Example: Level 3 Architecture for E-Commerce Platform
**System Architecture:**
- Monolith (early stage, < 50K users)
- PostgreSQL database
- Redis for caching and sessions
- Next.js for frontend
- Deployed on Vercel + Railway
**Key ADRs:**
1. **ADR-001**: Use Next.js (vs React + Express)
- Rationale: SEO critical, SSR needed, unified codebase
2. **ADR-002**: Use GraphQL (vs REST)
- Rationale: Flexible querying for dashboard, mobile optimization
3. **ADR-003**: Use Stripe (vs PayPal + Stripe)
- Rationale: Simpler integration, lower fees, better UX
**Epic Guidance:**
- **Epic 1 (Auth)**: NextAuth.js with PostgreSQL adapter
- **Epic 2 (Products)**: GraphQL with DataLoader for categories
- **Epic 3 (Cart)**: Redis for session-based cart (no DB writes)
- **Epic 4 (Checkout)**: Stripe webhooks for payment confirmation
**Standards:**
```
Directory Structure:
/pages - Next.js routes
/components - Reusable UI components
/lib - Business logic
/graphql - GraphQL schema and resolvers
/db - Prisma models and migrations
/services - Third-party integrations
/tests - Test files mirror /lib
```

- **Impact**: Epic 4 (Checkout) cannot proceed
- **Recommendation**: Add ADR for payment gateway selection (1 hour)
3. **Medium**: Epic 2, Story 3 too large
- **Impact**: Risk of story scope creep
- **Recommendation**: Split into 2 stories (30 min)
**Gate Decision:** CONCERNS ⚠️
- **Rationale**: Critical and high gaps block Epic 1 and Epic 4
- **Action**: Resolve gaps #1 and #2 before starting implementation
- **Timeline**: Address in 3 hours, then re-run gate check
**Next Steps:**
1. Complete security architecture section
2. Document payment gateway ADR
3. Split Epic 2, Story 3

## Integration with Phase 2 (Planning) and Phase 4 (Implementation)
### Planning → Solutioning Flow
**Level 0-1:**
```
Planning (tech-spec Quick Spec)
→ Skip Solutioning
→ Implementation (dev-story)
```
**Level 2:**
```
Planning (prd Lightweight)
→ Optional: architecture (if complex)
→ Implementation (sprint-planning → dev-story)
```
**Level 3-4:**
```
Planning (prd Standard/Comprehensive)
→ architecture (Required)
→ solutioning-gate-check (Required)
→ Implementation (sprint-planning → dev-story)
```
### Solutioning → Implementation Handoff
**Documents Produced:**
1. `architecture.md` → Guides all dev-story workflows
2. `ADRs` (in architecture) → Referenced by agents during implementation
3. `solutioning-gate-check.md` → Confirms readiness
**How Implementation Uses Solutioning:**
- **sprint-planning**: Loads architecture for epic sequencing
- **dev-story**: References architecture decisions and ADRs
- **code-review**: Validates code follows architectural standards
---
## Best Practices for Phase 3
### 1. Make Decisions Explicit
Don't leave technology choices implicit. Document decisions with rationale so future agents understand context.
### 2. Focus on Agent Conflicts
Architecture's primary job is preventing conflicting implementations by different agents. Focus on cross-cutting concerns.
### 3. Use ADRs for Key Decisions
Every significant technology choice should have an ADR explaining the "why", not just the "what".
### 4. Keep It Practical
Don't over-architect Level 2 projects. Simple projects need simple architecture.
### 5. Run Gate Check Before Implementation
Catching alignment issues in solutioning is 10× faster than discovering them mid-implementation.
### 6. Iterate Architecture
Architecture documents are living. Update them as you learn during implementation.
---
## Common Anti-Patterns
### ❌ Skipping Architecture for Level 3-4
"Architecture slows us down, let's just start coding."
**Result**: Agent conflicts, inconsistent design, rework
### ❌ Over-Architecting Level 2
"Let me design this simple feature like a distributed system."
**Result**: Wasted time, over-engineering
### ❌ Template-Driven Architecture
"Fill out every section of this architecture template."
**Result**: Documentation theater, no real decisions made
### ❌ Skipping Gate Check
"PRD and architecture look good enough, let's start."
**Result**: Gaps discovered mid-sprint, wasted implementation time
### ✅ Correct Approach
- Use architecture for Level 3-4 (required)
- Keep Level 2 architecture simple (if used)
- Focus on decisions, not documentation volume
- Always run gate check before implementation
---
## Decision Guide: When to Use Solutioning Workflows
### Level 0-1 Projects
- **Planning**: tech-spec (Quick Spec)
- **Solutioning**: **Skip entirely**
- **Implementation**: dev-story directly
### Level 2 Projects (Simple)
- **Planning**: prd (Lightweight)
- **Solutioning**: **Skip** if straightforward tech
- **Implementation**: sprint-planning → dev-story
### Level 2 Projects (Technically Complex)
- **Planning**: prd (Lightweight)
- **Solutioning**: architecture (simplified)
- **Gate Check**: Optional
- **Implementation**: sprint-planning → dev-story
### Level 3-4 Projects
- **Planning**: prd/gdd (Standard/Comprehensive)
- **Solutioning**: architecture (comprehensive) → **Required**
- **Gate Check**: solutioning-gate-check → **Required**
- **Implementation**: sprint-planning → epic-tech-context → dev-story
---
## Summary
Phase 3 Solutioning workflows bridge planning and implementation:
| Workflow | Purpose | When Required |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **architecture** | Make technical decisions explicit | Level 3-4 (required), Level 2 (optional) |
| **solutioning-gate-check** | Validate readiness for implementation | Level 3-4 only |
**Key Takeaway:** Solutioning prevents agent conflicts in multi-epic projects by documenting architectural decisions before implementation begins.
**Next Phase:** Implementation (Phase 4) - Sprint-based story development

## 📚 Input Document Discovery
This workflow requires: PRD or product brief, and may reference epics/stories, brainstorming documents, or brownfield project documentation.
**Discovery Process** (execute for each referenced document):
1. **Search for whole document first** - Use fuzzy file matching to find the complete document
2. **Check for sharded version** - If whole document not found, look for `{doc-name}/index.md`
3. **If sharded version found**:
- Read `index.md` to understand the document structure
- Read ALL section files listed in the index
- Treat the combined content as if it were a single document
4. **Brownfield projects**: The `document-project` workflow always creates `{output_folder}/docs/index.md`
**Priority**: If both whole and sharded versions exist, use the whole document.
**Fuzzy matching**: Be flexible with document names - users may use variations in naming conventions.

## Overview
This document provides the detailed epic breakdown for {{project_name}}, expanding on the high-level epic list in the [PRD](./PRD.md).
This document provides the complete epic and story breakdown for {{project_name}}, decomposing the requirements from the [PRD](./PRD.md) into implementable stories.
Each epic includes:
- Expanded goal and value proposition
- Complete story breakdown with user stories
- Acceptance criteria for each story
- Story sequencing and dependencies
**Epic Sequencing Principles:**
- Epic 1 establishes foundational infrastructure and initial functionality
- Subsequent epics build progressively, each delivering significant end-to-end value
- Stories within epics are vertically sliced and sequentially ordered
- No forward dependencies - each story builds only on previous work

</step>
<step n="1" goal="Form epics from natural groupings">
<action>Transform requirements into epics organically
<step n="2" goal="Propose epic structure from natural groupings">
<action>Analyze requirements and identify natural epic boundaries
INTENT: Find natural boundaries that make sense for THIS product
INTENT: Find organic groupings that make sense for THIS product
Look at the requirements and find patterns:
Look for natural patterns:
- Features that work together
- Features that work together cohesively
- User journeys that connect
- Technical systems that relate
- Business capabilities that group
- Domain requirements that cluster (compliance, validation, etc.)
- Business capabilities that cluster
- Domain requirements that relate (compliance, validation, security)
- Technical systems that should be built together
Examples of natural epic formation:
Name epics based on VALUE, not technical layers:
- Auth features → "User Management" epic
- Payment features → "Monetization" epic
- Social features → "Community" epic
- Admin features → "Administration" epic
- Compliance requirements → "Regulatory Compliance" epic
- API endpoints → "API Infrastructure" epic
But let the product guide you - don't force standard patterns
- Good: "User Onboarding", "Content Discovery", "Compliance Framework"
- Avoid: "Database Layer", "API Endpoints", "Frontend"
Each epic should:
- Have a clear business goal
- Have clear business goal and user value
- Be independently valuable
- Contain 3-8 related features
- Be completable in 1-2 sprints
- Contain 3-8 related capabilities
- Be deliverable in cohesive phase
Name epics based on value, not technical components:
GOOD: "User Onboarding", "Content Discovery", "Team Collaboration"
NOT: "Database", "Frontend", "API"
For greenfield projects:
If domain considerations exist:
- First epic MUST establish foundation (project setup, core infrastructure, deployment pipeline)
- Foundation enables all subsequent work
- Create dedicated compliance/validation epics
- Note special expertise needed per epic
- Flag epics with regulatory dependencies
For complex domains:
Present epic groupings conversationally:
"Based on your requirements, I see these natural epic groupings:
- Consider dedicated compliance/regulatory epics
- Group validation and safety requirements logically
- Note expertise requirements
1. [Epic Name] - [Brief description]
2. [Epic Name] - [Brief description]
3. [Epic Name] - [Brief description]
Present proposed epic structure showing:
Does this organization make sense for how you think about the product?"</action>

<step n="2" goal="Decompose into bite-sized stories">
<critical>Small vertical sliced small stories are best for agentic dumb developers to implement without forgetting things</critical>
<step n="3" goal="Decompose each epic into bite-sized stories" repeat="for-each-epic">
<action>Break down Epic {{N}} into small, implementable stories
<action>Break each epic into small, implementable stories
INTENT: Create stories sized for single dev agent completion
INTENT: Create stories that one dev agent can complete independently
For each epic, generate:
For each epic, decompose into stories that are:
- Epic title as `epic_title_{{N}}`
- Epic goal/value as `epic_goal_{{N}}`
- All stories as repeated pattern `story_title_{{N}}_{{M}}` for each story M
- Small enough for single context window
CRITICAL for Epic 1 (Foundation):
- Story 1.1 MUST be project setup/infrastructure initialization
- Sets up: repo structure, build system, deployment pipeline basics, core dependencies
- Creates foundation for all subsequent stories
- Note: Architecture workflow will flesh out technical details
Each story should follow BDD-style acceptance criteria:
**Story Pattern:**
As a [user type],
I want [specific capability],
So that [clear value/benefit].
**Acceptance Criteria using BDD:**
Given [precondition or initial state]
When [action or trigger]
Then [expected outcome]
And [additional criteria as needed]
**Prerequisites:** Only previous stories (never forward dependencies)
**Technical Notes:** Implementation guidance, affected components, compliance requirements
Ensure stories are:
- Vertically sliced (deliver complete functionality, not just one layer)
- Sequentially ordered (logical progression, no forward dependencies)
- Independently valuable when possible
- Small enough for single-session completion
- Clear enough for autonomous implementation
- Independent enough to develop in parallel when possible
- Specific enough to have clear acceptance criteria
GOOD story examples:
For each story in epic {{N}}, output variables following this pattern:
- "Create login API endpoint that accepts email/password and returns JWT"
- "Build user profile component with avatar upload to S3"
- "Add password reset email template and sending logic"
- "Implement rate limiting on auth endpoints (5 attempts per minute)"
- "Create HIPAA-compliant audit log for patient data access"
- "Build FDA 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signature component"
- story*title*{{N}}_1, story_title_{{N}}\_2, etc.
- Each containing: user story, BDD acceptance criteria, prerequisites, technical notes</action>
BAD story examples:
<template-output>epic*title*{{N}}</template-output>
<template-output>epic*goal*{{N}}</template-output>
- "Build complete authentication system" (too big)
- "Handle user management" (too vague)
- "Make it secure" (not specific)
- "Integrate everything" (requires multiple contexts)
<action>For each story M in epic {{N}}, generate story content</action>
<template-output>story*title*{{N}}\_{{M}}</template-output>
Story format:
"As a [user type], I want [specific feature], so that [clear value]"
Technical notes to include:
- Affected files/components if known
- Required endpoints/methods
- Data structures needed
- Specific validation rules
- Compliance requirements if applicable
- Dependencies on other stories
Domain-aware story creation:
- For healthcare: Include specific regulations per story
- For fintech: Note PCI/security requirements per story
- For govtech: Flag accessibility needs per story
- For aerospace: Include safety/validation requirements
Check each story:
- Can this be explained in <1000 words?
- Can one agent complete without another's output?
- Is the scope crystal clear?
- Are success criteria obvious?
- Are domain requirements specified?
If too big → split into smaller stories
If too vague → add specifics
If dependent → note the dependency clearly
If domain-critical → flag compliance needs</action>

Validate:
Consider dependencies:
TECHNICAL:
- All functional requirements from PRD are covered by stories
- Epic 1 establishes proper foundation
- All stories are vertically sliced
- No forward dependencies exist
- Story sizing is appropriate for single-session completion
- BDD acceptance criteria are clear and testable
- Domain/compliance requirements are properly distributed
- Sequencing enables incremental value delivery
- Authentication before protected features
- Data models before business logic
- Core features before enhancements
- API before frontend that uses it
Confirm with {user_name}:
DOMAIN:
- Epic structure makes sense
- Story breakdown is actionable
- Dependencies are clear
- BDD format provides clarity
- Ready for architecture and implementation phases</action>
- Compliance infrastructure before features
- Validation framework before clinical features
- Audit logging before financial transactions
- Safety systems before operational features
PRACTICAL:
- What gives visible progress early?
- What reduces risk soonest?
- What enables parallel work?
- What delivers value fastest?
Create implementation phases:
Phase 1 - Foundation:
- Core data models
- Authentication/authorization
- Basic infrastructure
- Essential APIs
- Compliance foundation (if domain requires)
Phase 2 - Core Features:
- MVP functionality
- Key user flows
- Basic UI/UX
- Critical integrations
- Domain validations (if applicable)
Phase 3 - Enhancement:
- Polish and refinement
- Additional features
- Performance optimization
- Extended functionality
- Advanced compliance features
Phase 4 - Growth:
- Analytics and monitoring
- Advanced features
- Scaling preparations
- Nice-to-have additions
For complex domains, add gates:
- "Gate: Security audit before payment processing"
- "Gate: Clinical validation before patient features"
- "Gate: Compliance review before launch"
Present the sequencing conversationally:
"Here's a smart implementation order:
**Phase 1 (Foundation) - Week 1-2:**
- Story 1.1: [Description]
- Story 1.2: [Description] (can parallel with 1.1)
- Story 1.3: [Description] (depends on 1.1)

This workflow requires: product brief, and may reference market research or brownfield project documentation.
**Discovery Process** (execute for each referenced document):
1. **Search for whole document first** - Use fuzzy file matching to find the complete document
2. **Check for sharded version** - If whole document not found, look for `{doc-name}/index.md`
3. **If sharded version found**:
- Read `index.md` to understand the document structure
- Read ALL section files listed in the index
- Treat the combined content as if it were a single document
4. **Brownfield projects**: The `document-project` workflow always creates `{output_folder}/docs/index.md`
**Priority**: If both whole and sharded versions exist, use the whole document.

4. **Brownfield projects**: The `document-project` workflow always creates `{output_folder}/docs/index.md`
**Priority**: If both whole and sharded versions exist, use the whole document.
**Fuzzy matching**: Be flexible with document names - users may use variations in naming conventions.

## CRITICAL RULE: CommonMark Strict Compliance
## CRITICAL RULES
### Rule 1: CommonMark Strict Compliance
ALL documentation MUST follow CommonMark specification exactly. No exceptions.
### Rule 2: NO TIME ESTIMATES
NEVER document time estimates, durations, or completion times for any workflow, task, or activity. This includes:
- Workflow execution time (e.g., "30-60 min", "2-8 hours")
- Task duration estimates
- Reading time estimates
- Implementation time ranges
- Any temporal measurements
Time varies dramatically based on:
- Project complexity
- Team experience
- Tooling and environment
- Context switching
- Unforeseen blockers
**Instead:** Focus on workflow steps, dependencies, and outputs. Let users determine their own timelines.
### CommonMark Essentials
**Headers:**
@ -194,6 +216,7 @@ Apply in this hierarchy:
Before finalizing ANY documentation:
- [ ] CommonMark compliant (no violations)
- [ ] NO time estimates anywhere (Critical Rule 2)
- [ ] Headers in proper hierarchy

# Technical Documentation Standards for BMAD
**For Agent: Paige (Documentation Guide)**
**Purpose: Concise reference for documentation creation and review**
---
## CRITICAL RULE: CommonMark Strict Compliance
ALL documentation MUST follow CommonMark specification exactly. No exceptions.
### CommonMark Essentials
**Headers:**
- Use ATX-style ONLY: `#` `##` `###` (NOT Setext underlines)
- Single space after `#`: `# Title` (NOT `#Title`)
- No trailing `#`: `# Title` (NOT `# Title #`)
- Hierarchical order: Don't skip levels (h1→h2→h3, not h1→h3)
**Code Blocks:**
- Use fenced blocks with language identifier:
````markdown
```javascript
const example = 'code';
```
````
- NOT indented code blocks (ambiguous)
**Lists:**
- Consistent markers within list: all `-` or all `*` or all `+` (don't mix)
- Proper indentation for nested items (2 or 4 spaces, stay consistent)
- Blank line before/after list for clarity
**Links:**
- Inline: `[text](url)`
- Reference: `[text][ref]` then `[ref]: url` at bottom
- NO bare URLs without `<>` brackets
**Emphasis:**
- Italic: `*text*` or `_text_`
- Bold: `**text**` or `__text__`
- Consistent style within document
**Line Breaks:**
- Two spaces at end of line + newline, OR
- Blank line between paragraphs
- NO single line breaks (they're ignored)
---
## Mermaid Diagrams: Valid Syntax Required
**Critical Rules:**
1. Always specify diagram type first line
2. Use valid Mermaid v10+ syntax
3. Test syntax before outputting (mental validation)
4. Keep focused: 5-10 nodes ideal, max 15
**Diagram Type Selection:**
- **flowchart** - Process flows, decision trees, workflows
- **sequenceDiagram** - API interactions, message flows, time-based processes
- **classDiagram** - Object models, class relationships, system structure
- **erDiagram** - Database schemas, entity relationships
- **stateDiagram-v2** - State machines, lifecycle stages
- **gitGraph** - Branch strategies, version control flows
**Formatting:**
````markdown
```mermaid
flowchart TD
Start[Clear Label] --> Decision{Question?}
Decision -->|Yes| Action1[Do This]
Decision -->|No| Action2[Do That]
```
````
---
## Style Guide Principles (Distilled)
Apply in this hierarchy:
1. **Project-specific guide** (if exists) - always ask first
2. **BMAD conventions** (this document)
3. **Google Developer Docs style** (defaults below)
4. **CommonMark spec** (when in doubt)
### Core Writing Rules
**Task-Oriented Focus:**
- Write for user GOALS, not feature lists
- Start with WHY, then HOW
- Every doc answers: "What can I accomplish?"
**Clarity Principles:**
- Active voice: "Click the button" NOT "The button should be clicked"
- Present tense: "The function returns" NOT "The function will return"
- Direct language: "Use X for Y" NOT "X can be used for Y"
- Second person: "You configure" NOT "Users configure" or "One configures"
**Structure:**
- One idea per sentence
- One topic per paragraph
- Headings describe content accurately
- Examples follow explanations
**Accessibility:**
- Descriptive link text: "See the API reference" NOT "Click here"
- Alt text for diagrams: Describe what it shows
- Semantic heading hierarchy (don't skip levels)
- Tables have headers
---
## OpenAPI/API Documentation
**Required Elements:**
- Endpoint path and method
- Authentication requirements
- Request parameters (path, query, body) with types
- Request example (realistic, working)
- Response schema with types
- Response examples (success + common errors)
- Error codes and meanings
**Quality Standards:**
- OpenAPI 3.0+ specification compliance
- Complete schemas (no missing fields)
- Examples that actually work
- Clear error messages
- Security schemes documented
---
## Documentation Types: Quick Reference
**README:**
- What (overview), Why (purpose), How (quick start)
- Installation, Usage, Contributing, License
- Under 500 lines (link to detailed docs)
**API Reference:**
- Complete endpoint coverage
- Request/response examples
- Authentication details
- Error handling
- Rate limits if applicable
**User Guide:**
- Task-based sections (How to...)
- Step-by-step instructions
- Screenshots/diagrams where helpful
- Troubleshooting section
**Architecture Docs:**
- System overview diagram (Mermaid)
- Component descriptions
- Data flow
- Technology decisions (ADRs)
- Deployment architecture
**Developer Guide:**
- Setup/environment requirements
- Code organization
- Development workflow
- Testing approach
- Contribution guidelines
---
## Quality Checklist
Before finalizing ANY documentation:
- [ ] CommonMark compliant (no violations)
- [ ] Headers in proper hierarchy
- [ ] All code blocks have language tags
- [ ] Links work and have descriptive text
- [ ] Mermaid diagrams render correctly
- [ ] Active voice, present tense
- [ ] Task-oriented (answers "how do I...")
- [ ] Examples are concrete and working
- [ ] Accessibility standards met
- [ ] Spelling/grammar checked
- [ ] Reads clearly at target skill level
---
## BMAD-Specific Conventions
**File Organization:**
- `README.md` at root of each major component
- `docs/` folder for extensive documentation
- Workflow-specific docs in workflow folder
- Cross-references use relative paths
**Frontmatter:**
Use YAML frontmatter when appropriate:
```yaml
---
title: Document Title
description: Brief description
author: Author name
date: YYYY-MM-DD
---
```
**Metadata:**
- Always include last-updated date
- Version info for versioned docs
- Author attribution for accountability
---
**Remember: This is your foundation. Follow these rules consistently, and all documentation will be clear, accessible, and maintainable.**
