## [Unreleased]
-## [6.0.0-alpha.10]
+### Added
-**Release: November 16, 2025**
+- **Playwright Utils Integration**: Test Architect now supports `@seontechnologies/playwright-utils` integration
+ - Installation prompt with `use_playwright_utils` configuration flag (mirrors tea_use_mcp_enhancements pattern)
+ - 11 comprehensive knowledge fragments covering ALL utilities: overview, api-request, network-recorder, auth-session, intercept-network-call, recurse, log, file-utils, burn-in, network-error-monitor, fixtures-composition
+ - Adaptive workflow recommendations in 6 workflows: automate (CRITICAL), framework, test-review, ci, atdd, test-design (light mention)
+ - 32 total knowledge fragments (21 core patterns + 11 playwright-utils)
+ - Context-aware fragment loading preserves existing behavior when flag is false
+ - Production-ready utilities from SEON Technologies now integrated with TEA's proven testing patterns
-This alpha release introduces a new specialized agent for visual diagramming, major epic creation workflow improvements, platform-specific filtering capabilities, and critical time estimate prohibition guidance across all workflows.
+## [6.0.0-alpha.12]
-### ๐ฏ MAJOR MILESTONE: Epics & Stories Now Generated AFTER Architecture
+**Release: November 19, 2025**
-**A Key v6 Goal Realized!**
+### ๐ Bug Fixes
-One of the most important goals for BMad Method v6 has been achieved: **epic and story generation now occurs AFTER architecture completion** in the full BMad Method flow.
+- Added missing `yaml` dependency to fix `MODULE_NOT_FOUND` error when running `npx bmad-method install`
-**Why This Matters:**
+## [6.0.0-alpha.11]
-- Stories are now **technically informed** - they reference actual architectural decisions, patterns, and constraints
-- No more architectural surprises mid-implementation - stories already account for the chosen tech stack
-- Better story estimation (complexity-based, not time-based) because technical approach is known
-- Acceptance criteria can reference specific architectural patterns and integration points
-- Reduces story rewrites that previously occurred when architecture revealed new complexity
+**Release: November 18, 2025**
-**Workflow Sequence (Full BMad Method):**
+This alpha release introduces a complete agent installation system with the new `bmad agent-install` command, vastly improves the BMB agent builder capabilities with comprehensive documentation and reference agents, and refines diagram distribution to better align with BMad Method's core principle: **BMad agents mirror real agile teams**.
+
+### ๐จ Diagram Capabilities Refined and Distributed
+
+**Excalidraw Integration Evolution:**
+
+Building on the excellent Excalidraw integration introduced with the Frame Expert agent, we've refined how diagram capabilities are distributed across the BMad Method ecosystem to better reflect real agile team dynamics.
+
+**The Refinement:**
+
+- The valuable Excalidraw diagramming capabilities have been distributed to the agents who naturally create these artifacts in real teams
+- **Architect**: System architecture diagrams, data flow visualizations
+- **Product Manager**: Process flowcharts and workflow diagrams
+- **UX Designer**: Wireframe creation capabilities
+- **Tech Writer**: All diagram types for documentation needs
+- **New CIS Agent**: presentation-master for specialized visual communication
+
+**Shared Infrastructure Enhancement:**
+
+- Excalidraw templates, component libraries, and validation patterns elevated to core resources
+- Available to both BMM agents AND CIS presentation specialists
+- Preserves all the excellent Excalidraw functionality while aligning with natural team roles
+
+### ๐ New Agent Installation System
+
+**Agent Installation Infrastructure (NEW in alpha.11):**
+
+- `bmad agent-install` CLI command with interactive persona customization
+- **YAML โ XML compilation engine** with smart handler injection
+- Supports Simple (single file), Expert (with sidecars), and Module agents
+- Handlebars-style template variable processing
+- Automatic manifest tracking and IDE integration
+- Source preservation in `_cfg/custom/agents/` for reinstallation
+
+**New Reference Agents Added:**
+
+- **commit-poet**: Poetic git commit message generator (Simple agent example)
+- **journal-keeper**: Daily journaling agent with templates (Expert agent example)
+- **security-engineer & trend-analyst**: Module agent examples with ecosystem integration
+
+**Critical Persona Field Guidance Added:**
+
+New documentation explaining how LLMs interpret persona fields for better agent quality:
+
+- **role** โ "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
+- **identity** โ "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
+- **communication_style** โ "What verbal patterns, word choice, and phrasing do I use?"
+- **principles** โ "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices?"
+
+Key insight: `communication_style` should ONLY describe HOW the agent talks, not WHAT they do
+
+**BMM Agent Voice Enhancement:**
+
+All 9 existing BMM agents enhanced with distinct, memorable communication voices:
+
+- **Mary (analyst)**: "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue"
+- **John (PM)**: "Asks 'WHY?' relentlessly like a detective on a case"
+- **Winston (architect)**: "Champions boring technology that actually works"
+- **Amelia (dev)**: "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs"
+- **Sally (UX)**: "Paints pictures with words, telling user stories that make you FEEL"
+
+### ๐ง Edit-Agent Workflow Comprehensive Enhancement
+
+**Expert Agent Sidecar Support (NEW):**
+
+- Automatically detects and handles Expert agents with multiple files
+- Loads and manages templates, data files, knowledge bases
+- Smart sidecar analysis: maps references, finds orphans, validates paths
+- 5 complete sidecar editing patterns with warm, educational feedback
+
+**7-Step Communication Style Refinement Pattern:**
+
+1. Diagnose current style with red flag word detection
+2. Extract non-style content to working copy
+3. Discover TRUE communication style through interview questions
+4. Craft pure style using presets and reference agents
+5. Show before/after transformation with full context
+6. Validate against standards (zero red flags)
+7. Confirm with user through dramatic reading
+
+**Unified Validation Checklist:**
+
+- Single source of truth: `agent-validation-checklist.md` (160 lines)
+- Shared between create-agent and edit-agent workflows
+- Comprehensive persona field separation validation
+- Expert agent sidecar validation (9 specific checks)
+- Common issues and fixes with real examples
+
+### ๐ BMB Agent Builder Enhancement
+
+**Vastly Improved Agent Creation & Editing Capabilities:**
+
+- Create-agent and edit-agent workflows now have accurate, comprehensive documentation
+- All context references updated and validated for consistency
+- Workflows can now properly guide users through complex agent design decisions
+
+**New Agent Documentation Suite:**
+
+- `understanding-agent-types.md` - Architecture vs capability distinction
+- `simple-agent-architecture.md` - Self-contained agents guide
+- `expert-agent-architecture.md` - Agents with sidecar files
+- `module-agent-architecture.md` - Workflow-integrated agents
+- `agent-compilation.md` - YAML โ XML transformation process
+- `agent-menu-patterns.md` - Menu design patterns
+- `communication-presets.csv` - 60 pure communication styles for reference
+
+**New Reference Agents for Learning:**
+
+- Complete working examples of Simple, Expert, and Module agents
+- Can be installed directly via the new `bmad agent-install` command
+- Serve as both learning resources and ready-to-use agents
+
+### ๐ฏ Epic Creation Moved to Phase 3 (After Architecture)
+
+**Workflow Sequence Corrected:**
```
-PRD โ UX Design โ Architecture โ Epics & Stories
- โ
- NOW HERE (informed by all prior context)
+Phase 2: PRD โ UX Design
+Phase 3: Architecture โ Epics & Stories โ NOW HERE (technically informed)
```
-**Flexibility Preserved:**
+**Why This Fundamental Change:**
-You can still generate epics at earlier stages if your project requires it:
+- Epics need architectural context: API contracts, data models, technical decisions
+- Stories can reference actual architectural patterns and constraints
+- Reduces rewrites when architecture reveals complexity
+- Better complexity-based estimation (not time-based)
-- After PRD (basic structure, feature-focused)
-- After UX Design (with interaction context)
-- After Architecture (RECOMMENDED - fully informed)
+### ๐ฅ๏ธ New IDE Support
-The workflow now supports progressive enhancement, allowing you to create basic epics early and enrich them as more context becomes available. However, for most projects, **waiting until after architecture completion** produces the highest quality, most actionable stories.
+**Google Antigravity IDE Installer:**
-This represents a fundamental shift from "plan everything upfront" to "plan informed by technical reality."
+- Flattened file naming for proper slash commands (bmad-module-agents-name.md)
+- Namespace isolation prevents module conflicts
+- Subagent installation support (project or user level)
+- Module-specific injection configuration
-### ๐จ New Agent Saif the Frame Expert (Excalidraw Specialist)
+**Codex CLI Enhancement:**
-Thank you Saif for the new initial addition of this new agent, that will soon be further integrated into other workflows for the BMad Method and the CIS. This works great also if you install the excalidraw VSCode plugin to view the files easily.
+- Now supports both global and project-specific installation
+- CODEX_HOME configuration for multi-project workflows
+- OS-specific setup instructions (Unix/Mac/Windows)
-**Visual Diagramming Specialist:**
+### ๐๏ธ Reference Agents & Standards
-- New frame-expert agent specialized in Excalidraw visual representations - use this agent or the workflows at any point to produce architcure visualizations, mock ups, visual ideas to share with the other agents and so much more. Many udpates will come to further integrate this powerful tool.
-- **Four specialized workflows:**
- - `create-flowchart` - Process flow visualization
- - `create-diagram` - General architectural diagrams
- - `create-dataflow` - Data flow and pipeline visualization
- - `create-wireframe` - UI/UX wireframe creation
-- Includes shared Excalidraw helpers, templates, and validation
-- Integrated into default-party.csv and team-fullstack configurations
-- Icon: ๐ with webskip flag for IDE-only functionality
+**New Reference Agents Provide Clear Examples:**
-### ๐ Epic Creation Workflow Revolution
+- **commit-poet.agent.yaml**: Simple agent with pure communication style
+- **journal-keeper.agent.yaml**: Expert agent with sidecar file structure
+- **security-engineer.agent.yaml**: Module agent for ecosystem integration
+- **trend-analyst.agent.yaml**: Module agent with cross-workflow capabilities
-**User-Value Focused Epic Structure:**
+**Agent Type Clarification:**
-- Added comprehensive principles for user-value focused epic breakdown
-- Explicit anti-pattern examples showing wrong vs right epic structure
-- **NO technical layer breakdown** - epics must deliver user value
-- Multi-mode detection: CONTINUE, REPLACE, or UPDATE existing epics
-- Epics now created AFTER architecture for technically-informed story breakdown
-- Added checkpoint protocol for interactive workflow progression
+- Clear documentation that agent types (Simple/Expert/Module) describe architecture, not capability
+- Module = designed for ecosystem integration, not limited in function
-**Progressive Enhancement Pattern:**
+### ๐ Technical Improvements
-- Intelligent UPDATE vs CREATE mode detection
-- Detects available context (UX, Architecture, Domain brief, Product brief)
-- Living document approach with continuous updates
-- Creates basic epics, then enriches with UX/Architecture context
+**Linting Compliance:**
-### โฐ Time Estimate Prohibition (Critical Update)
+- Fixed all ESLint warnings across agent tooling
+- `'utf-8'` โ `'utf8'` (unicorn/text-encoding-identifier-case)
+- `hasOwnProperty` โ `Object.hasOwn` (unicorn/prefer-object-has-own)
+- `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(...))` โ `structuredClone(...)`
-**AI-Age Development Reality:**
+**Agent Compilation Engine:**
-- Added **critical warnings** against providing ANY time estimates (hours/days/weeks/months)
-- Applied across **33 workflow instruction files** in BMB, BMGD, BMM, and CIS modules
-- Acknowledges AI has fundamentally changed development speed
-- Updated workflow creation guide with prohibition guidelines
-- Recognizes traditional estimation methods are obsolete in AI-augmented development
-
-**Rationale:** Time estimates based on pre-AI development patterns are actively harmful and misleading. AI-driven development exhibits non-linear productivity patterns that make traditional estimation unreliable.
-
-### ๐ฏ Platform-Specific Command Filtering
-
-**IDE-Only and Web-Only Support:**
-
-- New `ide-only` and `web-only` boolean fields in agent menu schema
-- Menu items filtered based on build target (web bundle vs local IDE)
-- Examples:
- - `workflow-init` and `correct-course` marked as IDE-only
- - `advanced-elicitation` marked as web-only
-- Enables platform-appropriate functionality across different environments
-
-**Agent Updates:**
-
-- PM: workflow-init and correct-course as ide-only
-- UX Designer: Renamed trigger to create-ux-design
-- SM: Renamed triggers for consistency (story-context โ create-story-context)
-- Analyst: Added research workflow after brainstorm
-- Architect: Removed document field from validate-architecture
-- Dev: Updated persona and critical actions for clarity
-- Tech-writer: Added party-mode workflow
-- All agents: Standardized party-mode descriptions
-
-### ๐ง Agent Customization Enhancement
-
-**Prompts and Memories Merging:**
-
-- Added merging logic for `customizeYaml.prompts` and `customizeYaml.memories` in agent loading
-- New `buildMemoriesXml()` method for XML output
-- Updated `buildPromptsXml()` to use `` wrapper for better compatibility
-- Memories output integrated between persona and prompts sections
-- Users can now customize agents via `bmad/_cfg/agents/*.customize.yaml` with:
- - `prompts`: Array of {id, content} objects for action handlers
- - `memories`: Array of strings for persistent agent memories
-
-### ๐ Workflow Configuration Standardization
-
-**Input File Patterns Cleanup:**
-
-- Removed 32 `recommended_inputs:` sections (redundant with input_file_patterns)
-- Added `description:` fields to all input_file_patterns (25 workflows)
-- Added missing `load_strategy` fields (5 workflows)
-- Fixed BMB workflows with proper reference doc variables
-- Updated BMB instructions to use new variables
-
-**Workflow Path Enhancements:**
-
-- Updated all 4 workflow paths (enterprise/method ร brownfield/greenfield)
-- Added multiple optional epic creation steps at different phases:
- - After PRD (basic structure)
- - After UX Design (with interaction context)
- - After Architecture (final with full context)
-- Changed PRD output description from "with epics and stories" to "with FRs and NFRs"
-

## [6.0.0-alpha.5]
**Release: November 4, 2025**
-This alpha release represents a major refinement of BMM workflows, documentation accuracy, and the introduction of the revolutionary 3-track scale system. The focus is on workflow consistency, eliminating bloat, and providing accurate, reality-based guidance for modern AI-driven development.
-
-### ๐ฏ 3-Track Scale System - Revolutionary Simplification
-
-**From 5 Levels to 3 Clear Tracks:**
-
-The BMM scale system has been dramatically simplified from a confusing 5-level hierarchy (Levels 0-4) to 3 intuitive, preference-driven tracks:
-
-- **Quick Flow** - Fast, lightweight development for small changes and quick iterations
-- **BMad Method** - Balanced approach for most development projects
-- **Enterprise Method** - Comprehensive methodology for large-scale, mission-critical systems
-
-**Key Changes:**
-
-- Replaced `project_level` variable with `project_track` throughout all workflows
-- Updated 8 workflow path YAML files to reflect new track naming (removed level-based paths)
-- Simplified workflow-init to guide users based on preference, not artificial "levels"
-- Updated all documentation to reference tracks instead of levels
-- Eliminated confusing "target_scale" variable (no longer needed)
-
-**Impact:**
-
-Users now choose development approach based on **project needs and team preference**, not arbitrary complexity levels. This aligns with how real teams actually work and removes decision paralysis.
-
-**Documentation Updated:**
-
-- `scale-adaptive-system.md` - Complete rewrite around 3-track methodology (756 line overhaul)
-- `quick-start.md` - Updated to reference tracks
-- `brownfield-guide.md` - Track-based guidance instead of level-based
-- `glossary.md` - New track definitions, removed level references
-- `workflow-status/init/instructions.md` - Major rewrite for track-based initialization (865 lines)
-
-### โจ Workflow Modernization & Standardization
-
-**1. Elicitation System Modernization:**
-
-- Removed legacy `advanced-elicitation.xml ` pattern
-- More self-documenting and eliminates confusing indirection layer
-- Added strategic elicitation points across all planning workflows:
- - **PRD:** After success criteria, scope, functional requirements, and final review
- - **Create-Epics-And-Stories:** After epic proposals and each epic's stories
- - **Architecture:** After decisions, structure, patterns, implementation patterns, and final doc
-- Updated audit-workflow to remove obsolete elicit-required tag scanning
-
-**2. Input Document Discovery Streamlined:**
-
-- Replaced verbose 19-line "Input Document Discovery" sections with single critical tag
-- New concise format: `Input documents specified in workflow.yaml input_file_patterns... `
-- Eliminates duplication (workflow.yaml already defines patterns - why repeat them?)
-- Updated across 6 workflows: PRD, create-epics-and-stories, architecture, tech-spec, UX, gate-check
-- **Saved ~114 lines of repeated bloat**
-
-**3. Epic/Story Template Standardization:**
-
-- Replaced hardcoded 8-epic templates with clean repeating patterns using N/M variables
-- Added BDD-style acceptance criteria (Given/When/Then/And) for better clarity
-- Removed instructional bloat from templates (moved to instructions.md where it belongs)
-- **Principle:** Templates show OUTPUT structure, instructions show PROCESS
-- Applied to both create-epics-and-stories and tech-spec workflows
-- Templates now use HTML comments to clearly indicate repeating sections
-
-**4. Workflow.yaml Pattern Consistency:**
-
-- Standardized `input_file_patterns` across all workflows
-- Separated `recommended_inputs` (semantic WHAT) from `input_file_patterns` (file discovery WHERE)
-- Removed duplication between recommended_inputs file paths and input_file_patterns
-- Create-epics-and-stories now uses proper whole/sharded pattern like architecture workflow
-- Solutioning-gate-check cleaned up to use semantic descriptions not file paths
-
-**Files Changed:** 18 files across core, planning, and solutioning workflows
-
-### ๐ Documentation Accuracy Overhaul
-
-**Agent YAML as Source of Truth:**
-
-Fixed critical documentation inaccuracies by treating agent YAML files as the authoritative source:
-
-**agents-guide.md Corrections:**
-
-- Fixed Game Developer workflow names (dev-story โ develop-story, added story-done)
-- Added agent name "Paige" to Technical Writer (matches naming pattern)
-- Corrected epic-tech-context ownership (Architect โ SM agent across all docs)
-- Updated agent reference tables to reflect actual capabilities from YAML configs
-
-**workflows-implementation.md Corrections:**
-
-- Fixed epic-tech-context agent attribution in 3 locations (Architect โ SM)
-- Updated multi-agent workflow ownership table
-- Aligned all workflow descriptions with actual agent YAML definitions
-
-**Impact:** Zero hallucination risk - documentation now accurately reflects what agents can actually do.
-
-### ๐๏ธ Brownfield Development Reality Check
-
-**Rewrote brownfield-guide.md Phase 0 Section:**
-
-Replaced oversimplified 3-scenario model with **real-world guidance** for messy brownfield projects:
-
-**New Scenarios (4 instead of 3):**
-
-- **Scenario A:** No documentation โ `document-project` workflow (existing)
-- **Scenario B:** Docs exist but massive/outdated/incomplete โ **document-project** (NEW - very common case)
-- **Scenario C:** Good docs but massive files โ **shard-doc โ index-docs** (NEW - handles >500 line files)
-- **Scenario D:** Confirmed AI-optimized docs โ Skip Phase 0 (correctly marked as RARE)
-
-**Key Additions:**
-
-- Default recommendation: "Run document-project unless you have confirmed, trusted, AI-optimized docs"
-- Quality assessment checklist (current, AI-optimized, comprehensive, trusted)
-- Massive document handling guidance (>500 lines, 10+ sections triggers shard-doc)
-- Explicit explanation of why regenerating is better than indexing bad docs
-- Impact explanation: how outdated docs break AI workflows (token limits, wrong assumptions, broken integrations)
-
-**Principle:** "When in doubt, run document-project" - Better to spend 10-30 minutes generating fresh docs than waste hours debugging AI agents with bad documentation.
-
-### ๐ PM/UX Evolution for Enterprise Agentic Development
-
-**New Section: The Evolving Role of Product Managers & UX Designers**
-
-Added comprehensive forward-looking guidance based on **November 2025 industry research**:
-
-**Industry Trends:**

-- 56% of product professionals cite AI/ML as top strategic focus
-- PRD-to-Code automation: build and deploy apps in 10-15 minutes (current state)
-- By 2026: Roles converging into "Full-Stack Product Lead" (PM + Design + Engineering)
-- Very high salaries for AI Agent PMs who orchestrate autonomous development systems
-
-**Role Transformation:**
-
-- PMs evolving from spec writers โ code orchestrators
-- Writing AI-optimized PRDs that **feed agentic pipelines directly**
-- UX designers generating production code with Figma-to-code tools
-- Technical fluency becoming **table stakes**, not optional
-- Reviewing PRs from AI agents alongside human developers
-
-**How BMad Method Enables This Future (10 Ways):**

-Future (2026): PM PRD โ Stories โ Cloud AI agents โ Auto PRs โ Review โ Auto-merge โ Deploy
-Time savings: 6-8 weeks โ 2-5 days
-```
-
-**What Remains Human:**
-
-- Product vision, empathy, creativity, judgment, ethics
-- PMs spend MORE time on human elements (AI handles execution)
-- Product leaders become "builder-thinkers" not just spec writers
-
-### ๐ Document Tightening
-
-**enterprise-agentic-development.md Overhaul:**

```
-The installer provides:
+### 2. Initialize Your Project
-1. **Module Selection** - Choose BMM, BMB, CIS (or all)
-2. **Configuration** - Your name, language preferences, game dev options
-3. **IDE Integration** - Automatic setup for your IDE
-
-**Installation creates:**
+Load any agent in your IDE and run:
```
-your-project/
-โโโ {bmad_folder}/
- โโโ core/ # Core framework + BMad Master agent
- โโโ bmm/ # BMad Method (12 agents, 34 workflows)
- โโโ bmb/ # BMad Builder (1 agent, 7 workflows)
- โโโ cis/ # Creative Intelligence (5 agents, 5 workflows)
- โโโ _cfg/ # Your customizations (survives updates)
- โโโ agents/ # Agent customization files
+*workflow-init
```
-**Next Steps:**
+This analyzes your project and recommends the right workflow track.
-1. Load any agent in your IDE
-2. Run `*workflow-init` to set up your project workflow path
-3. Follow the [Quick Start](#-quick-start) guide above to choose your planning track
+### 3. Choose Your Track
-**Alternative:** [**Web Bundles**](https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-bundles/) - Download pre-built agent bundles for use in Claude Projects, ChatGPT, or Gemini without installation (automatically updated on every commit to main)
+BMad Method adapts to your needs with three intelligent tracks:
----
+| Track | Use For | Planning | Time to Start |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------- |
+| **โก Quick Flow** | Bug fixes, small features | Tech spec only | < 5 minutes |
+| **๐ BMad Method** | Products, platforms | PRD + Architecture + UX | < 15 minutes |
+| **๐ข Enterprise** | Compliance, scale | Full governance suite | < 30 minutes |
-## ๐ฏ Working with Agents & Commands
+> **Not sure?** Run `*workflow-init` and let BMad analyze your project goal.
-**Multiple Ways to Execute Workflows:**
+## ๐ How It Works: 4-Phase Methodology
-BMad is flexible - you can execute workflows in several ways depending on your preference and IDE:
+BMad Method guides you through a proven development lifecycle:
-### Method 1: Agent Menu (Recommended for Beginners)
+1. **๐ Analysis** (Optional) - Brainstorm, research, and explore solutions
+2. **๐ Planning** - Create PRDs, tech specs, or game design documents
+3. **๐๏ธ Solutioning** - Design architecture, UX, and technical approach
+4. **โก Implementation** - Story-driven development with continuous validation
-1. **Load an agent** in your IDE (see [IDE-specific instructions](./docs/ide-info/))
-2. **Wait for the menu** to appear showing available workflows
-3. **Tell the agent** what to run using natural language or shortcuts:
- - Natural: "Run workflow-init"
- - Shortcut: `*workflow-init`
- - Menu number: "Run option 2"
+Each phase has specialized workflows and agents working together to deliver exceptional results.
-### Method 2: Direct Slash Commands
+## ๐ค Meet Your Team
-**Execute workflows directly** using slash commands:
+**12 Specialized Agents** working in concert:
-```
-/bmad:bmm:workflows:workflow-init
-/bmad:bmm:workflows:prd
-/bmad:bmm:workflows:dev-story
-```
+| Development | Architecture | Product | Leadership |
+| ----------- | -------------- | ------------- | -------------- |
+| Developer | Architect | PM | Scrum Master |
+| UX Designer | Test Architect | Analyst | BMad Master |
+| Tech Writer | Game Architect | Game Designer | Game Developer |
-**Tip:** While you can run these without loading an agent first, **loading an agent is still recommended** - it can make a difference with certain workflows.
+**Test Architect** integrates with `@seontechnologies/playwright-utils` for production-ready fixture-based utilities.
-**Benefits:**
+Each agent brings deep expertise and can be customized to match your team's style.
-- โ
Mix and match any agent with any workflow
-- โ
Run workflows not in the loaded agent's menu
-- โ
Faster access for experienced users who know the command names

+# Custom Agent Installation
+
+Install and personalize BMAD agents in your project.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# From your project directory with BMAD installed
+npx bmad agent-install
+```
+
+Or if you have bmad-cli installed globally:
+
+```bash
+bmad agent-install
+```
+
+## What It Does
+
+1. **Discovers** available agent templates from your custom agents folder
+2. **Prompts** you to personalize the agent (name, behavior, preferences)
+3. **Compiles** the agent with your choices baked in
+4. **Installs** to your project's `.bmad/custom/agents/` directory
+5. **Creates** IDE commands for all your configured IDEs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.)
+6. **Saves** your configuration for automatic reinstallation during BMAD updates
+
+## Options
+
+```bash
+bmad agent-install [options]
+
+Options:
+ -p, --path Direct path to specific agent YAML file or folder
+ -d, --defaults Use default values without prompting
+ -t, --target Target installation directory
+```
+
+## Example Session
+
+```

+```
+
+## Reinstallation
+
+Custom agents are automatically reinstalled when you run `bmad init --quick`. Your personalization choices are preserved in `.bmad/_cfg/custom/agents/`.
+
+## Installing Reference Agents
+
+The BMAD source includes example agents you can install. **You must copy them to your project first.**
+
+### Step 1: Copy the Agent Template
+
+**For simple agents** (single file):
+
+```bash
+# From your project root
+cp node_modules/bmad-method/src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/stand-alone/commit-poet.agent.yaml \
+ .bmad/custom/agents/
+```
+
+**For expert agents** (folder with sidecar files):
+
+```bash
+# Copy the entire folder
+cp -r node_modules/bmad-method/src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/agent-with-memory/journal-keeper \
+ .bmad/custom/agents/
+```
+
+### Step 2: Install and Personalize
+
+```bash
+npx bmad agent-install
+# or: bmad agent-install
+```
+
+The installer will:
+
+1. Find the copied template in `.bmad/custom/agents/`
+2. Prompt for personalization (name, behavior, preferences)
+3. Compile and install with your choices baked in
+4. Create IDE commands for immediate use
+
+### Available Reference Agents
+
+**Simple (standalone file):**
+
+- `commit-poet.agent.yaml` - Commit message artisan with style preferences
+
+**Expert (folder with sidecar):**
+
+- `journal-keeper/` - Personal journal companion with memory and pattern recognition
+
+Find these in the BMAD source:
+
+```
+src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/
+โโโ stand-alone/
+โ โโโ commit-poet.agent.yaml
+โโโ agent-with-memory/
+ โโโ journal-keeper/
+ โโโ journal-keeper.agent.yaml
+ โโโ journal-keeper-sidecar/
+```
+
+## Creating Your Own
+
+Place your `.agent.yaml` files in `.bmad/custom/agents/`. Use the reference agents as templates.
+
+Key sections in an agent YAML:
+
+- `metadata`: name, title, icon, type
+- `persona`: role, identity, communication_style, principles
+- `prompts`: reusable prompt templates
+- `menu`: numbered menu items
+- `install_config`: personalization questions (optional, at end of file)
+
+See the reference agents for complete examples with install_config templates and XML-style semantic tags.

-# Web Bundler Usage
-
-ALPHA NOTE: Bundling of individual agents might work, team bundling is being reworked and will come with Beta release soon.
-
-The web bundler creates self-contained XML bundles for BMAD agents, packaging all dependencies for web deployment.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-```bash
-# Bundle all agents from all modules
-npm run bundle
-
-# Clean and rebundle (removes old bundles first)
-npm run rebundle
-```
-
-## Custom Output Directory
-
-```bash
-# Bundle to custom directory
-node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js all --output ./my-bundles
-
-# Rebundle to custom directory (auto-cleans first)
-node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js rebundle --output /absolute/path/to/custom/directory
-
-# Bundle specific module to custom directory
-node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js module bmm --output ./custom-folder
-
-# Bundle specific agent to custom directory
-node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js agent bmm analyst -o ./custom-folder
-```
-
-## Output
-
-Bundles are generated in `web-bundles/` directory by default when run from the root of the clones project:
-
-```
-web-bundles/
-โโโ [module-name]/
-โ โโโ agents/
-โ โโโ [agent-name].xml
-```
-
-## Skipping Agents
-
-Agents with `bundle="false"` attribute are automatically skipped during bundling.
-
-## Bundle Contents
-
-Each bundle includes:
-
-- Agent definition with web activation
-- All resolved dependencies
-- Manifests for agent/team discovery

+# Core Excalidraw Resources
+
+Universal knowledge for creating Excalidraw diagrams. All agents that create Excalidraw files should reference these resources.
+
+## Purpose
+
+Provides the **HOW** (universal knowledge) while agents provide the **WHAT** (domain-specific application).
+
+**Core = "How to create Excalidraw elements"**
+
+- How to group shapes with text labels
+- How to calculate text width
+- How to create arrows with proper bindings
+- How to validate JSON syntax
+- Base structure and primitives
+
+**Agents = "What diagrams to create"**
+
+- Frame Expert (BMM): Technical flowcharts, architecture diagrams, wireframes
+- Presentation Master (CIS): Pitch decks, creative visuals, Rube Goldberg machines
+- Tech Writer (BMM): Documentation diagrams, concept explanations
+
+## Files in This Directory
+
+### excalidraw-helpers.md
+
+**Universal element creation patterns**
+
+- Text width calculation
+- Element grouping rules (shapes + labels)
+- Grid alignment
+- Arrow creation (straight, elbow)
+- Theme application
+- Validation checklist
+- Optimization rules
+
+**Agents reference this to:**
+
+- Create properly grouped shapes
+- Calculate text dimensions
+- Connect elements with arrows
+- Ensure valid structure
+
+### validate-json-instructions.md
+
+**Universal JSON validation process**
+
+- How to validate Excalidraw JSON
+- Common errors and fixes
+- Workflow integration
+- Error recovery
+
+**Agents reference this to:**
+
+- Validate files after creation
+- Fix syntax errors
+- Ensure files can be opened in Excalidraw
+
+### library-loader.md (Future)
+
+**How to load external .excalidrawlib files**
+
+- Programmatic library loading
+- Community library integration
+- Custom library management
+
+**Status:** To be developed when implementing external library support.
+
+## How Agents Use These Resources
+
+### Example: Frame Expert (Technical Diagrams)
+
+```yaml
+# workflows/diagrams/create-flowchart/workflow.yaml
+helpers: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/resources/excalidraw/excalidraw-helpers.md'
+json_validation: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/resources/excalidraw/validate-json-instructions.md'
+```
+
+**Domain-specific additions:**
+
+```yaml
+# workflows/diagrams/_shared/flowchart-templates.yaml
+flowchart:
+ start_node:
+ type: ellipse
+ width: 120
+ height: 60
+ process_box:
+ type: rectangle
+ width: 160
+ height: 80
+ decision_diamond:
+ type: diamond
+ width: 140
+ height: 100
+```
+
+### Example: Presentation Master (Creative Visuals)
+
+```yaml
+# workflows/create-visual-metaphor/workflow.yaml
+helpers: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/resources/excalidraw/excalidraw-helpers.md'
+json_validation: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/resources/excalidraw/validate-json-instructions.md'
+```
+
+**Domain-specific additions:**
+
+```yaml
+# workflows/_shared/creative-templates.yaml
+rube_goldberg:
+ whimsical_connector:
+ type: arrow
+ strokeStyle: dashed
+ roughness: 2
+ playful_box:
+ type: rectangle
+ roundness: 12
+```
+
+## What Doesn't Belong in Core
+
+**Domain-Specific Elements:**
+
+- Flowchart-specific templates (belongs in Frame Expert)
+- Pitch deck layouts (belongs in Presentation Master)
+- Documentation-specific styles (belongs in Tech Writer)
+
+**Agent Workflows:**
+
+- How to create a flowchart (Frame Expert workflow)
+- How to create a pitch deck (Presentation Master workflow)
+- Step-by-step diagram creation (agent-specific)
+
+**Theming:**
+
+- Currently in agent workflows
+- **Future:** Will be refactored to core as user-configurable themes
+
+## Architecture Principle
+
+**Single Source of Truth:**
+
+- Core holds universal knowledge
+- Agents reference core, don't duplicate
+- Updates to core benefit all agents
+- Agents specialize with domain knowledge
+
+**DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself):**
+
+- Element creation logic: ONCE in core
+- Text width calculation: ONCE in core
+- Validation process: ONCE in core
+- Arrow binding patterns: ONCE in core
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **External Library Loader** - Load .excalidrawlib files from libraries.excalidraw.com
+2. **Theme Management** - User-configurable color themes saved in core
+3. **Component Library** - Shared reusable components across agents
+4. **Layout Algorithms** - Auto-layout helpers for positioning elements

+# External Library Loader
+
+**Status:** Placeholder for future implementation
+
+## Purpose
+
+Load external .excalidrawlib files from https://libraries.excalidraw.com or custom sources.
+
+## Planned Capabilities
+
+- Load libraries by URL
+- Load libraries from local files
+- Merge multiple libraries
+- Filter library components
+- Cache loaded libraries
+
+## API Reference
+
+Will document how to use:
+
+- `importLibrary(url)` - Load library from URL
+- `loadSceneOrLibraryFromBlob()` - Load from file
+- `mergeLibraryItems()` - Combine libraries
+
+## Usage Example
+
+```yaml
+# Future workflow.yaml structure
+libraries:
+ - url: 'https://libraries.excalidraw.com/libraries/...'
+ filter: ['aws', 'cloud']
+ - path: '{project-root}/_data/custom-library.excalidrawlib'
+```
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+This will be developed when agents need to leverage the extensive library ecosystem available at https://libraries.excalidraw.com.
+
+Hundreds of pre-built component libraries exist for:
+
+- AWS/Cloud icons
+- UI/UX components
+- Business diagrams
+- Mind map shapes
+- Floor plans
+- And much more...
+
+## User Configuration
+
+Future: Users will be able to configure favorite libraries in their BMAD config for automatic loading.

+# Agent Compilation: YAML to XML
+
+What the compiler auto-injects. **DO NOT duplicate these in your YAML.**
+
+## Compilation Pipeline
+
+```
+agent.yaml โ Handlebars processing โ XML generation โ frontmatter.md
+```
+
+Source: `tools/cli/lib/agent/compiler.js`
+
+## File Naming Convention
+
+**CRITICAL:** Agent filenames must be ROLE-BASED, not persona-based.
+
+**Why:** Users can customize the agent's persona name via `customize.yaml` config. The filename provides stable identity.
+
+**Correct:**
+
+```
+presentation-master.agent.yaml โ Role/function
+tech-writer.agent.yaml โ Role/function
+code-reviewer.agent.yaml โ Role/function
+```
+
+**Incorrect:**
+
+```
+caravaggio.agent.yaml โ Persona name (users might rename to "Pablo")
+paige.agent.yaml โ Persona name (users might rename to "Sarah")
+rex.agent.yaml โ Persona name (users might rename to "Max")
+```
+
+**Pattern:**
+
+- Filename: `{role-or-function}.agent.yaml` (kebab-case)
+- Metadata ID: `{bmad_folder}/{module}/agents/{role-or-function}.md`
+- Persona Name: User-customizable in metadata or customize.yaml
+
+**Example:**
+
+```yaml
+# File: presentation-master.agent.yaml
+agent:
+ metadata:
+ id: '{bmad_folder}/cis/agents/presentation-master.md'
+ name: Caravaggio # โ Users can change this to "Pablo" or "Vince"
+ title: Visual Communication & Presentation Expert
+```
+
+## Auto-Injected Components
+
+### 1. Frontmatter
+
+**Injected automatically:**
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: '{agent name from filename}'
+description: '{title from metadata}'
+---
+You must fully embody this agent's persona...
+```
+
+**DO NOT add** frontmatter to your YAML source.
+
+### 2. Activation Block
+
+**Entire activation section is auto-generated:**
+
+```xml
+
+ Load persona from this current agent file
+ Load config to get {user_name}, {communication_language}
+ Remember: user's name is {user_name}
+
+
+
+ ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}
+ Show greeting + numbered menu
+ STOP and WAIT for user input
+ Input resolution rules
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+**DO NOT create** activation sections - compiler builds it from your critical_actions.
+
+### 3. Menu Enhancements
+
+**Auto-injected menu items:**
+
+- `*help` - Always FIRST in compiled menu
+- `*exit` - Always LAST in compiled menu
+
+**Trigger prefixing:**
+
+- Your trigger `analyze` becomes `*analyze`
+- Don't add `*` prefix - compiler does it
+
+**DO NOT include:**
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - these are auto-injected
+menu:
+ - trigger: help
+ description: 'Show help'
+ - trigger: exit
+ description: 'Exit'
+```
+
+### 4. Menu Handlers
+
+Compiler detects which handlers you use and ONLY includes those:
+
+```xml
+
+
+
+ ...
+
+
+ ...
+
+
+ ...
+
+
+ ...
+
+
+```
+
+**DO NOT document** handler behavior - it's injected.
+
+### 5. Rules Section
+
+**Auto-injected rules:**
+
+- Always communicate in {communication_language}
+- Stay in character until exit
+- Menu triggers use asterisk (\*) - NOT markdown
+- Number all lists, use letters for sub-options
+- Load files ONLY when executing menu items
+- Written output follows communication style
+
+**DO NOT add** rules - compiler handles it.
+
+## What YOU Provide in YAML
+
+### Required
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+ metadata:
+ name: 'Persona Name'
+ title: 'Agent Title'
+ icon: 'emoji'
+ type: 'simple|expert' # or module: "bmm"
+
+ persona:
+ role: '...'
+ identity: '...'
+ communication_style: '...'
+ principles: [...]
+
+ menu:
+ - trigger: your-action
+ action: '#prompt-id'
+ description: 'What it does'
+```
+
+### Optional (based on type)
+
+```yaml
+# Expert agents only
+critical_actions:
+ - 'Load sidecar files...'
+ - 'Restrict access...'
+
+# Simple/Expert with embedded logic
+prompts:
+ - id: prompt-id
+ content: '...'
+
+# Simple/Expert with customization
+install_config:
+ questions: [...]
+```
+
+## Common Duplication Mistakes
+
+### Adding Activation Logic
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - compiler builds activation
+agent:
+ activation:
+ steps: [...]
+```
+
+### Including Help/Exit
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - auto-injected
+menu:
+ - trigger: help
+ - trigger: exit
+```
+
+### Prefixing Triggers
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - compiler adds *
+menu:
+ - trigger: '*analyze' # Should be: analyze
+```
+
+### Documenting Handlers
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - don't explain handlers, compiler injects them
+# When using workflow, load workflow.xml...
+```
+
+### Adding Rules in YAML
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - rules are auto-injected
+agent:
+ rules:
+ - Stay in character...
+```
+
+## Compilation Example
+
+**Your YAML:**
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+ metadata:
+ name: 'Rex'
+ title: 'Code Reviewer'
+ icon: '๐'
+ type: simple
+
+ persona:
+ role: Code Review Expert
+ identity: Systematic reviewer...
+ communication_style: Direct and constructive
+ principles:
+ - Code should be readable
+
+ prompts:
+ - id: review
+ content: |
+ Analyze code for issues...
+
+ menu:
+ - trigger: review
+ action: '#review'
+ description: 'Review code'
+```
+
+**Compiled Output (.md):**
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: 'rex'
+description: 'Code Reviewer'
+---
+
+You must fully embody...
+
+\`\`\`xml
+
+
+Load persona...
+Load config...
+Remember user...
+Communicate in language...
+Show greeting + menu...
+STOP and WAIT...
+Input resolution...
+
+
+
+
+ action="#id" โ Find prompt, execute
+ action="text" โ Execute directly
+
+
+
+
+
+ - Stay in character...
+ - Number lists...
+ - Load files when executing...
+
+
+
+ Code Review Expert
+ Systematic reviewer...
+ Direct and constructive
+ Code should be readable
+
+
+
+
+Analyze code for issues...
+
+
+
+
+ - Show numbered menu
+ - Review code
+ - Exit with confirmation
+
+
+\`\`\`
+```
+
+## Key Takeaways
+
+1. **Compiler handles boilerplate** - Focus on persona and logic
+2. **Critical_actions become activation steps** - Just list your agent-specific needs
+3. **Menu items are enhanced** - Help/exit added, triggers prefixed
+4. **Handlers auto-detected** - Only what you use is included
+5. **Rules standardized** - Consistent behavior across agents
+
+**Your job:** Define persona, prompts, menu actions
+**Compiler's job:** Activation, handlers, rules, help/exit, prefixes

+# BMAD Agent Menu Patterns
+
+Design patterns for agent menus in YAML source files.
+
+## Menu Structure
+
+Agents define menus in YAML, with triggers auto-prefixed with `*` during compilation:
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: action-name
+ [handler]: [value]
+ description: 'What this command does'
+```
+
+**Note:** `*help` and `*exit` are auto-injected by the compiler - DO NOT include them.
+
+## Handler Types
+
+### 1. Action Handler (Prompts & Inline)
+
+For simple and expert agents with self-contained logic.
+
+**Reference to Prompt ID:**
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+ - id: analyze-code
+ content: |
+
+ Analyze the provided code for patterns and issues.
+
+
+
+ 1. Identify code structure
+ 2. Check for anti-patterns
+ 3. Suggest improvements
+
+
+menu:
+ - trigger: analyze
+ action: '#analyze-code'
+ description: 'Analyze code patterns'
+```
+
+**Inline Instruction:**
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: quick-check
+ action: 'Perform a quick syntax validation on the current file'
+ description: 'Quick syntax check'
+```
+
+**When to Use:**
+
+- Simple/Expert agents with self-contained operations
+- `#id` for complex, multi-step prompts
+- Inline text for simple, one-line instructions
+
+### 2. Workflow Handler
+
+For module agents orchestrating multi-step processes.
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: create-prd
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Create Product Requirements Document'
+
+ - trigger: brainstorm
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Guided brainstorming session'
+
+ # Placeholder for unimplemented workflows
+ - trigger: future-feature
+ workflow: 'todo'
+ description: 'Coming soon'
+```
+
+**When to Use:**
+
+- Module agents with workflow integration
+- Multi-step document generation
+- Complex interactive processes
+- Use "todo" for planned but unimplemented features
+
+### 3. Exec Handler
+
+For executing tasks directly.
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: validate
+ exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml'
+ description: 'Validate document structure'
+
+ - trigger: advanced-elicitation
+ exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml'
+ description: 'Advanced elicitation techniques'
+```
+
+**When to Use:**
+
+- Single-operation tasks
+- Core system operations
+- Utility functions
+
+### 4. Template Handler
+
+For document generation with templates.
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: create-brief
+ exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.xml'
+ tmpl: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/brief.md'
+ description: 'Create project brief'
+```
+
+**When to Use:**
+
+- Template-based document creation
+- Combine `exec` with `tmpl` path
+- Structured output generation
+
+### 5. Data Handler
+
+Universal attribute for supplementary information.
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: team-standup
+ exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/tasks/standup.xml'
+ data: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv'
+ description: 'Run team standup'
+
+ - trigger: analyze-metrics
+ action: 'Analyze these metrics and identify trends'
+ data: '{project-root}/_data/metrics.json'
+ description: 'Analyze performance metrics'
+```
+
+**When to Use:**
+
+- Add to ANY handler type
+- Reference data files (CSV, JSON, YAML)
+- Provide context for operations
+
+## Platform-Specific Menus
+
+Control visibility based on deployment target:
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: git-flow
+ exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/tasks/git-flow.xml'
+ description: 'Git workflow operations'
+ ide-only: true # Only in IDE environments
+
+ - trigger: advanced-elicitation
+ exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml'
+ description: 'Advanced elicitation'
+ web-only: true # Only in web bundles
+```
+
+## Trigger Naming Conventions
+
+### Action-Based (Recommended)
+
+```yaml
+# Creation
+- trigger: create-prd
+- trigger: build-module
+- trigger: generate-report
+
+# Analysis
+- trigger: analyze-requirements
+- trigger: review-code
+- trigger: validate-architecture
+
+# Operations
+- trigger: update-status
+- trigger: sync-data
+- trigger: deploy-changes
+```
+
+### Domain-Based
+
+```yaml
+# Development
+- trigger: brainstorm
+- trigger: architect
+- trigger: refactor
+
+# Project Management
+- trigger: sprint-plan
+- trigger: retrospective
+- trigger: standup
+```
+
+### Bad Patterns
+
+```yaml
+# TOO VAGUE
+- trigger: do
+- trigger: run
+- trigger: process
+
+# TOO LONG
+- trigger: create-comprehensive-product-requirements-document
+
+# NO VERB
+- trigger: prd
+- trigger: config
+```
+
+## Menu Organization
+
+### Recommended Order
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ # Note: *help auto-injected first by compiler
+
+ # 1. Primary workflows (main value)
+ - trigger: workflow-init
+ workflow: '...'
+ description: 'Start here - initialize workflow'
+
+ - trigger: create-prd
+ workflow: '...'
+ description: 'Create PRD'
+
+ # 2. Secondary operations
+ - trigger: validate
+ exec: '...'
+ description: 'Validate document'
+
+ # 3. Utilities
+ - trigger: party-mode
+ workflow: '...'
+ description: 'Multi-agent discussion'
+
+ # Note: *exit auto-injected last by compiler
+```
+
+### Grouping by Phase
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ # Analysis Phase
+ - trigger: brainstorm
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/brainstorm/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Brainstorm ideas'
+
+ - trigger: research
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/research/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Conduct research'
+
+ # Planning Phase
+ - trigger: prd
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/2-planning/prd/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Create PRD'
+
+ - trigger: architecture
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/2-planning/architecture/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Design architecture'
+```
+
+## Description Best Practices
+
+### Good Descriptions
+
+```yaml
+# Clear action + object
+- description: 'Create Product Requirements Document'
+
+# Specific outcome
+- description: 'Analyze security vulnerabilities'
+
+# User benefit
+- description: 'Optimize code for performance'
+
+# Context when needed
+- description: 'Start here - initialize workflow path'
+```
+
+### Poor Descriptions
+
+```yaml
+# Too vague
+- description: 'Process'
+
+# Technical jargon
+- description: 'Execute WF123'
+
+# Missing context
+- description: 'Run'
+
+# Redundant with trigger
+- description: 'Create PRD' # trigger: create-prd (too similar)
+```
+
+## Prompts Section (Simple/Expert Agents)
+
+### Prompt Structure
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+ - id: unique-identifier
+ content: |
+
+ What this prompt accomplishes
+
+
+
+ 1. First step
+ {{#if custom_option}}
+ 2. Conditional step
+ {{/if}}
+ 3. Final step
+
+
+
+ Expected structure of results
+
+```
+
+### Semantic XML Tags in Prompts
+
+Use XML tags to structure prompt content:
+
+- `` - What to do
+- `` - Step-by-step approach
+- `` - Expected results
+- `` - Sample outputs
+- `` - Limitations
+- `` - Background information
+
+### Handlebars in Prompts
+
+Customize based on install_config:
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+ - id: analyze
+ content: |
+ {{#if detailed_mode}}
+ Perform comprehensive analysis with full explanations.
+ {{/if}}
+ {{#unless detailed_mode}}
+ Quick analysis focusing on key points.
+ {{/unless}}
+
+ Address {{user_name}} in {{communication_style}} tone.
+```
+
+## Path Variables
+
+### Always Use Variables
+
+```yaml
+# GOOD - Portable paths
+workflow: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
+exec: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/validate.xml"
+data: "{project-root}/_data/metrics.csv"
+
+# BAD - Hardcoded paths
+workflow: "/Users/john/project/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
+exec: "../../../core/tasks/validate.xml"
+```
+
+### Available Variables
+
+- `{project-root}` - Project root directory
+- `{bmad_folder}` - BMAD installation folder
+- `{agent-folder}` - Agent installation directory (Expert agents)
+- `{output_folder}` - Document output location
+- `{user_name}` - User's name from config
+- `{communication_language}` - Language preference
+
+## Complete Examples

+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+- [ ] No duplicate triggers
+- [ ] Triggers don't start with `*` (auto-added)
+- [ ] Every item has a description
+- [ ] Paths use variables, not hardcoded
+- [ ] `#id` references exist in prompts section
+- [ ] Workflow paths resolve or are "todo"
+- [ ] No `*help` or `*exit` (auto-injected)
+- [ ] Descriptions are clear and action-oriented
+- [ ] Platform-specific flags used correctly (ide-only, web-only)
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+### Duplicate Triggers
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - compiler will fail
+- trigger: analyze
+ action: '#first'
+ description: 'First analysis'
+
+- trigger: analyze
+ action: '#second'
+ description: 'Second analysis'
+```
+
+### Including Auto-Injected Items
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - these are auto-injected
+menu:
+ - trigger: help
+ description: 'Show help'
+
+ - trigger: exit
+ description: 'Exit agent'
+```
+
+### Missing Prompt Reference
+
+```yaml
+# BAD - prompt id doesn't exist
+menu:
+ - trigger: analyze
+ action: '#nonexistent-prompt'
+ description: 'Analysis'
+```
+
+### Hardcoded Paths

+# Expert Agent Architecture
+
+Domain-specific agents with persistent memory, sidecar files, and restricted access patterns.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Personal assistants (journal keeper, diary companion)
+- Specialized domain experts (legal advisor, medical reference)
+- Agents that need to remember past interactions
+- Agents with restricted file system access (privacy/security)
+- Long-term relationship agents that learn about users

+ default: 'gentle'
+
+ - var: user_preference
+ prompt: 'Enable personalized features?'
+ type: boolean
+ default: true
+```
+
+## Key Components
+
+### Sidecar Files (CRITICAL)
+
+Expert agents use companion files for persistence and domain knowledge:
+
+**memories.md** - Persistent user context
+
+```markdown
+# Agent Memory Bank
+
+## User Preferences
+
+
+
+## Session History
+
+
+
+## Personal Notes
+
+
+```
+
+**instructions.md** - Private directives
+
+```markdown
+# Agent Private Instructions
+
+## Core Directives
+
+- Maintain character consistency
+- Domain boundaries: {specific domain}
+- Access restrictions: Only sidecar folder
+
+## Special Rules
+
+
+```
+
+**knowledge/** - Domain resources
+
+```markdown
+# Agent Knowledge Base
+
+Add domain-specific documentation here.
+```
+
+### Critical Actions
+
+**MANDATORY for expert agents** - These load sidecar files at activation:
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+ - 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/{sidecar}/memories.md and remember all past insights'
+ - 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/{sidecar}/instructions.md and follow ALL protocols'
+ - 'ONLY read/write files in {agent-folder}/{sidecar}/ - this is our private space'
+```
+
+**Key patterns:**
+
+- **COMPLETE file loading** - Forces full file read, not partial
+- **Domain restrictions** - Limits file access for privacy/security
+- **Memory integration** - Past context becomes part of current session
+- **Protocol adherence** - Ensures consistent behavior
+
+### {agent-folder} Variable
+
+Special variable resolved during installation:
+
+- Points to the agent's installation directory
+- Used to reference sidecar files
+- Example: `.bmad/custom/agents/journal-keeper/`
+
+## What Gets Injected at Compile Time
+
+Same as simple agents, PLUS:
+
+1. **Critical actions become numbered activation steps**
+
+ ```xml
+ Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md...
+ Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md...
+ ONLY read/write files in {agent-folder}/...
+ ```
+
+2. **Sidecar files copied during installation**
+ - Entire sidecar folder structure preserved
+ - Relative paths maintained
+ - Files ready for agent use
+
+## Reference Example
+
+See: `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/expert-examples/journal-keeper/`
+
+Features demonstrated:
+
+- Complete sidecar structure (memories, instructions, breakthroughs)
+- Critical actions for loading persistent context
+- Domain restrictions for privacy
+- Pattern recognition and memory recall
+- Handlebars-based personalization
+- Menu actions that update sidecar files
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# Copy entire folder to your project
+cp -r /path/to/journal-keeper/ .bmad/custom/agents/
+
+# Install with personalization
+bmad agent-install
+```
+
+The installer:
+
+1. Detects expert agent (folder with .agent.yaml)
+2. Prompts for personalization
+3. Compiles agent YAML to XML-in-markdown
+4. **Copies sidecar files to installation target**
+5. Creates IDE slash commands
+6. Saves source for reinstallation
+
+## Memory Patterns
+
+### Accumulative Memory
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: save
+ action: "Update {agent-folder}/sidecar/memories.md with today's session insights"
+ description: 'Save session to memory'
+```
+
+### Reference Memory
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+ - id: recall
+ content: |
+
+ Reference memories.md naturally:
+ "Last week you mentioned..." or "I notice a pattern..."
+
+```
+
+### Structured Insights
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: insight
+ action: 'Document in {agent-folder}/sidecar/breakthroughs.md with date, context, significance'
+ description: 'Record meaningful insight'
+```
+
+## Domain Restriction Patterns
+
+### Single Folder Access
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+ - 'ONLY read/write files in {agent-folder}/sidecar/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS'
+```
+
+### User Space Access
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+ - 'ONLY access files in {user-folder}/journals/ - private space'
+```
+
+### Read-Only Access
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+ - 'Load knowledge from {agent-folder}/knowledge/ but NEVER modify'
+ - 'Write ONLY to {agent-folder}/sessions/'
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Load sidecar files in critical_actions** - Must be explicit and MANDATORY
+2. **Enforce domain restrictions** - Clear boundaries prevent scope creep
+3. **Use {agent-folder} paths** - Portable across installations
+4. **Design for memory growth** - Structure sidecar files for accumulation
+5. **Reference past naturally** - Don't dump memory, weave it into conversation
+6. **Separate concerns** - Memories, instructions, knowledge in distinct files
+7. **Include privacy features** - Users trust expert agents with personal data
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Session Continuity
+
+```yaml
+communication_style: |
+ I reference past conversations naturally:
+ "Last time we discussed..." or "I've noticed over the weeks..."
+```
+
+### Pattern Recognition
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+ - 'Track mood patterns, recurring themes, and breakthrough moments'
+ - 'Cross-reference current session with historical patterns'
+```
+
+### Adaptive Responses
+
+```yaml
+identity: |

+# BMB Module Documentation
+
+Reference documentation for building BMAD agents and workflows.
+
+## Agent Architecture
+
+Comprehensive guides for each agent type (choose based on use case):
+
+- [Understanding Agent Types](./understanding-agent-types.md) - **START HERE** - Architecture vs capability, "The Same Agent, Three Ways"
+- [Simple Agent Architecture](./simple-agent-architecture.md) - Self-contained, optimized, personality-driven
+- [Expert Agent Architecture](./expert-agent-architecture.md) - Memory, sidecar files, domain restrictions
+- [Module Agent Architecture](./module-agent-architecture.md) - Workflow integration, professional tools
+
+## Agent Design Patterns
+
+- [Agent Menu Patterns](./agent-menu-patterns.md) - Menu handlers, triggers, prompts, organization
+- [Agent Compilation](./agent-compilation.md) - What compiler auto-injects (AVOID DUPLICATION)
+
+## Reference Examples
+
+Production-ready examples in `/src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/`:
+
+**Simple Agents** (`simple-examples/`)
+
+- `commit-poet.agent.yaml` - Commit message artisan with style customization
+
+**Expert Agents** (`expert-examples/`)
+
+- `journal-keeper/` - Personal journal companion with memory and pattern recognition
+
+**Module Agents** (`module-examples/`)
+
+- `security-engineer.agent.yaml` - BMM security specialist with threat modeling
+- `trend-analyst.agent.yaml` - CIS trend intelligence expert
+
+## Installation Guide
+
+For installing standalone simple and expert agents, see:
+
+- [Custom Agent Installation](/docs/custom-agent-installation.md)
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### YAML to XML Compilation
+
+Agents are authored in YAML with Handlebars templating. The compiler auto-injects:
+
+1. **Frontmatter** - Name and description from metadata
+2. **Activation Block** - Steps, menu handlers, rules (YOU don't write this)
+3. **Menu Enhancement** - `*help` and `*exit` commands added automatically
+4. **Trigger Prefixing** - Your triggers auto-prefixed with `*`
+
+**Critical:** See [Agent Compilation](./agent-compilation.md) to avoid duplicating auto-injected content.

+# Module Agent Architecture
+
+Full integration agents with workflow orchestration, module-specific paths, and professional tooling.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Professional development workflows (business analysis, architecture design)
+- Team-oriented tools (project management, sprint planning)
+- Agents that orchestrate multiple workflows
+- Module-specific functionality (BMM, BMB, CIS, custom modules)
+- Agents with complex multi-step operations
+
+## File Location
+
+```
+src/modules/{module-code}/agents/{agent-name}.agent.yaml
+```
+
+Compiles to:
+
+```
+.bmad/{module-code}/agents/{agent-name}.md
+```
+
+## YAML Structure
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+ metadata:
+ id: '{bmad_folder}/{module-code}/agents/{agent-name}.md'
+ name: 'Persona Name'
+ title: 'Professional Title'
+ icon: 'emoji'
+ module: '{module-code}'
+
+ persona:
+ role: 'Primary expertise and function'
+ identity: 'Background, experience, specializations'
+ communication_style: 'Interaction approach, tone, methodology'
+ principles: 'Core beliefs and methodology'
+
+ menu:
+ - trigger: workflow-action
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module-code}/workflows/{workflow-name}/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Execute module workflow'
+
+ - trigger: another-workflow
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/{workflow-name}/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Execute core workflow'
+
+ - trigger: task-action
+ exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module-code}/tasks/{task-name}.xml'
+ description: 'Execute module task'
+
+ - trigger: cross-module
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/other-module/workflows/{workflow-name}/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Execute workflow from another module'
+
+ - trigger: with-template
+ exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.xml'
+ tmpl: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module-code}/templates/{template-name}.md'
+ description: 'Create document from template'
+
+ - trigger: with-data
+ exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module-code}/tasks/{task-name}.xml'
+ data: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv'
+ description: 'Execute task with data file'
+```
+
+## Key Components
+
+### Metadata
+
+- **id**: Path with `{bmad_folder}` variable (resolved at install time)
+- **name**: Agent persona name
+- **title**: Professional role
+- **icon**: Single emoji
+- **module**: Module code (bmm, bmb, cis, custom)
+
+### Persona (Professional Voice)
+
+Module agents typically use **professional** communication styles:
+
+```yaml
+persona:
+ role: Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert
+
+ identity: Senior analyst with deep expertise in market research, competitive analysis, and requirements elicitation. Specializes in translating vague needs into actionable specs.
+
+ communication_style: Systematic and probing. Connects dots others miss. Structures findings hierarchically. Uses precise unambiguous language. Ensures all stakeholder voices heard.
+
+ principles: Every business challenge has root causes waiting to be discovered. Ground findings in verifiable evidence. Articulate requirements with absolute precision.
+```
+
+**Note:** Module agents usually don't use Handlebars templating since they're not user-customized - they're professional tools with fixed personalities.
+
+### Menu Handlers
+
+#### Workflow Handler (Most Common)
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: create-prd
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Create Product Requirements Document'
+```
+
+Invokes BMAD workflow engine to execute multi-step processes.
+
+#### Task/Exec Handler
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: validate
+ exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml'
+ description: 'Validate document structure'
+```
+
+Executes single-operation tasks.
+
+#### Template Handler
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: create-brief
+ exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.xml'
+ tmpl: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/brief.md'
+ description: 'Create project brief from template'
+```
+
+Combines task execution with template file.
+
+#### Data Handler
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: team-standup
+ exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/tasks/standup.xml'
+ data: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv'
+ description: 'Run team standup with agent roster'
+```
+
+Provides data file to task.
+
+#### Placeholder Handler
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: future-feature
+ workflow: 'todo'
+ description: 'Feature planned but not yet implemented'
+```
+
+Marks unimplemented features - compiler handles gracefully.
+
+### Platform-Specific Menu Items
+
+Control visibility based on platform:
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: advanced-elicitation
+ exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml'
+ description: 'Advanced elicitation techniques'
+ web-only: true # Only shows in web bundle
+
+ - trigger: git-operations
+ exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/tasks/git-flow.xml'
+ description: 'Git workflow operations'
+ ide-only: true # Only shows in IDE environments
+```
+
+## Variable System
+
+### Core Variables
+
+- `{project-root}` - Root directory of installed project
+- `{bmad_folder}` - BMAD installation folder (usually `.bmad`)
+- `{user_name}` - User's name from module config
+- `{communication_language}` - Language preference
+- `{output_folder}` - Document output directory
+
+### Path Construction
+
+**Always use variables, never hardcoded paths:**
+
+```yaml
+# GOOD
+workflow: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
+
+# BAD
+workflow: "/Users/john/project/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
+
+# BAD
+workflow: "../../../bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml"
+```
+
+## What Gets Injected at Compile Time
+
+Module agents use the same injection process as simple agents:
+
+1. **Frontmatter** with name and description
+2. **Activation block** with standard steps
+3. **Menu handlers** based on usage (workflow, exec, tmpl, data)
+4. **Rules section** for consistent behavior
+5. **Auto-injected** *help and *exit commands
+
+**Key difference:** Module agents load **module-specific config** instead of core config:
+
+```xml
+Load and read {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml...
+```
+
+## Reference Examples
+
+See: `src/modules/bmm/agents/`
+
+**analyst.agent.yaml** - Business Analyst
+
+- Workflow orchestration for analysis phase
+- Multiple workflow integrations
+- Cross-module workflow access (core/workflows/party-mode)
+
+**architect.agent.yaml** - System Architect
+
+- Technical workflow management
+- Architecture decision workflows
+
+**pm.agent.yaml** - Product Manager
+
+- Planning and coordination workflows
+- Sprint management integration
+
+## Module Configuration
+
+Each module has `config.yaml` providing:
+
+```yaml
+# src/modules/{module}/config.yaml
+user_name: 'User Name'
+communication_language: 'English'
+output_folder: '{project-root}/docs'
+custom_settings: 'module-specific values'
+```
+
+Agents load this at activation for consistent behavior.
+
+## Workflow Integration Patterns
+
+### Sequential Workflow Execution
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: init
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/workflow-init/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Initialize workflow path (START HERE)'
+
+ - trigger: status
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/workflow-status/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Check current workflow status'
+
+ - trigger: next-step
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/next-step/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Execute next workflow in sequence'
+```
+
+### Phase-Based Organization
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ # Phase 1: Analysis
+ - trigger: brainstorm
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/brainstorm/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Guided brainstorming session'
+
+ - trigger: research
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/research/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Market and technical research'
+
+ # Phase 2: Planning
+ - trigger: prd
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/2-planning/prd/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Create PRD'
+
+ - trigger: architecture
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/2-planning/architecture/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Design architecture'
+```
+
+### Cross-Module Access
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: party-mode
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Bring all agents together'
+
+ - trigger: brainstorm
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/cis/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Use CIS brainstorming techniques'
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use {bmad_folder} paths** - Portable across installations
+2. **Organize workflows by phase** - Clear progression for users
+3. **Include workflow-status** - Help users track progress
+4. **Reference module config** - Consistent behavior
+5. **No Handlebars templating** - Module agents are fixed personalities
+6. **Professional personas** - Match module purpose
+7. **Clear trigger names** - Self-documenting commands
+8. **Group related workflows** - Logical menu organization
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Entry Point Agent
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: start
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/init/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Start new project (BEGIN HERE)'
+```
+
+### Status Tracking
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: status
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/status/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Check workflow progress'
+```
+
+### Team Coordination
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: party
+ workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.yaml'
+ description: 'Multi-agent discussion'
+```
+
+## Module Agent vs Simple/Expert
+
+| Aspect | Module Agent | Simple/Expert Agent |
+| ------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
+| Location | `{bmad_folder}/{module}/agents/` | `{bmad_folder}/custom/agents/` |
+| Persona | Fixed, professional | Customizable via install_config |
+| Handlebars | No templating | Yes, extensive |
+| Menu actions | Workflows, tasks, templates | Prompts, inline actions |
+| Configuration | Module config.yaml | Core config or none |
+| Purpose | Professional tooling | Personal utilities |

+# Simple Agent Architecture
+
+Self-contained agents with prompts, menus, and optional install-time customization.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Single-purpose utilities (commit message generator, code formatter)
+- Self-contained logic with no external dependencies
+- Agents that benefit from user customization (style, tone, preferences)
+- Quick-to-build standalone helpers
+
+## YAML Structure
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+ metadata:
+ id: .bmad/agents/{agent-name}/{agent-name}.md
+ name: 'Persona Name'
+ title: 'Agent Title'
+ icon: 'emoji'
+ type: simple
+
+ persona:
+ role: |
+ First-person description of primary function (1-2 sentences)
+
+ identity: |
+ Background, experience, specializations in first-person (2-5 sentences)
+ {{#if custom_variable}}
+ Conditional identity text based on install_config
+ {{/if}}
+
+ communication_style: |
+ {{#if style_choice == "professional"}}
+ Professional and systematic approach...
+ {{/if}}
+ {{#if style_choice == "casual"}}
+ Friendly and approachable tone...
+ {{/if}}
+
+ principles:
+ - Core belief or methodology
+ - Another guiding principle
+ - Values that shape decisions
+
+ prompts:
+ - id: main-action
+ content: |
+
+ What this prompt does
+
+
+
+ 1. Step one
+ {{#if detailed_mode}}
+ 2. Additional detailed step
+ {{/if}}
+ 3. Final step
+
+
+ - id: another-action
+ content: |
+ Another reusable prompt template
+
+ menu:
+ - trigger: action1
+ action: '#main-action'
+ description: 'Execute the main action'
+
+ - trigger: action2
+ action: '#another-action'
+ description: 'Execute another action'
+
+ - trigger: inline
+ action: 'Direct inline instruction text'
+ description: 'Execute inline action'
+
+ install_config:
+ compile_time_only: true
+ description: 'Personalize your agent'
+ questions:
+ - var: style_choice
+ prompt: 'Preferred communication style?'
+ type: choice
+ options:
+ - label: 'Professional'
+ value: 'professional'
+ - label: 'Casual'
+ value: 'casual'
+ default: 'professional'
+
+ - var: detailed_mode
+ prompt: 'Enable detailed explanations?'
+ type: boolean
+ default: true
+
+ - var: custom_variable
+ prompt: 'Your custom text'
+ type: text
+ default: ''
+```
+
+## Key Components
+
+### Metadata
+
+- **id**: Final compiled path (`.bmad/agents/{name}/{name}.md` for standalone)
+- **name**: Agent's persona name displayed to users
+- **title**: Professional role/function
+- **icon**: Single emoji for visual identification
+- **type**: `simple` - identifies agent category
+
+### Persona (First-Person Voice)
+
+- **role**: Primary expertise in 1-2 sentences
+- **identity**: Background and specializations (2-5 sentences)
+- **communication_style**: HOW the agent interacts, including conditional variations
+- **principles**: Array of core beliefs (start with action verbs)
+
+### Prompts with IDs
+
+Reusable prompt templates referenced by `#id`:
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+ - id: analyze-code
+ content: |
+
+ Analyze the provided code for patterns
+
+```
+
+Menu items reference these:
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: analyze
+ action: '#analyze-code'
+ description: 'Analyze code patterns'
+```
+
+### Menu Actions
+
+Two forms of action handlers:
+
+1. **Prompt Reference**: `action: "#prompt-id"` - Executes prompt content
+2. **Inline Instruction**: `action: "Direct text instruction"` - Executes text directly
+
+### Install Config (Compile-Time Customization)
+
+Questions asked during `bmad agent-install`:
+
+**Question Types:**
+
+- `choice` - Multiple choice selection
+- `boolean` - Yes/no toggle
+- `text` - Free-form text input
+
+**Variables become available in Handlebars:**
+
+```yaml
+{{#if variable_name}}
+Content when true
+{{/if}}
+
+{{#if variable_name == "value"}}
+Content when equals value
+{{/if}}
+
+{{#unless variable_name}}
+Content when false
+{{/unless}}
+```
+
+## What Gets Injected at Compile Time
+
+The `tools/cli/lib/agent/compiler.js` automatically adds:
+
+1. **YAML Frontmatter**
+
+ ```yaml
+ ---
+ name: 'agent name'
+ description: 'Agent Title'
+ ---
+ ```
+
+2. **Activation Block**
+ - Load persona step
+ - Load core config for {user_name}, {communication_language}
+ - Agent-specific critical_actions as numbered steps
+ - Menu display and input handling
+ - Menu handlers (action/workflow/exec/tmpl) based on usage
+ - Rules section
+
+3. **Auto-Injected Menu Items**
+ - `*help` always first
+ - `*exit` always last
+
+4. **Trigger Prefixing**
+ - Triggers without `*` get it added automatically
+
+## Reference Example
+
+See: `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/simple-examples/commit-poet.agent.yaml`
+
+Features demonstrated:
+
+- Handlebars conditionals for style variations
+- Multiple prompt templates with semantic XML tags
+- Install config with choice, boolean, and text questions
+- Menu items using both `#id` references and inline actions
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# Copy to your project
+cp /path/to/commit-poet.agent.yaml .bmad/custom/agents/
+
+# Install with personalization
+bmad agent-install
+# or: npx bmad agent-install
+```
+
+The installer:
+
+1. Prompts for personalization (name, preferences)
+2. Processes Handlebars templates with your answers
+3. Compiles YAML to XML-in-markdown
+4. Creates IDE slash commands
+5. Saves source for reinstallation
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use first-person voice** in all persona elements
+2. **Keep prompts focused** - one clear purpose per prompt
+3. **Leverage Handlebars** for user customization without code changes
+4. **Provide sensible defaults** in install_config
+5. **Use semantic XML tags** in prompt content for clarity
+6. **Test all conditional paths** before distribution
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Style Variants
+
+```yaml
+communication_style: |
+ {{#if enthusiasm == "high"}}
+ Enthusiastic and energetic approach!
+ {{/if}}
+ {{#if enthusiasm == "moderate"}}
+ Balanced and professional demeanor.
+ {{/if}}
+```
+
+### Feature Toggles
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+ - id: main-action
+ content: |
+ {{#if advanced_mode}}
+ Include advanced analysis steps...
+ {{/if}}
+ {{#unless advanced_mode}}
+ Basic analysis only...
+ {{/unless}}
+```
+
+### User Personalization
+
+```yaml
+identity: |
+ {{#if custom_name}}
+ Known as {{custom_name}} to you.
+ {{/if}}
+```
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+- [ ] Valid YAML syntax
+- [ ] All metadata fields present (id, name, title, icon, type)
+- [ ] Persona complete (role, identity, communication_style, principles)
+- [ ] Prompts have unique IDs
+- [ ] Menu triggers don't start with `*` (auto-added)
+- [ ] Install config questions have defaults

+# Understanding Agent Types: Architecture, Not Capability
+
+**CRITICAL DISTINCTION:** Agent types define **architecture and integration**, NOT capability limits.
+
+ALL agent types can:
+
+- โ Write to {output_folder}, {project-root}, or anywhere on system
+- โ Update artifacts and files
+- โ Execute bash commands
+- โ Use core variables ({bmad_folder}, {output_folder}, etc.)
+- โ Have complex prompts and logic
+- โ Invoke external tools
+
+## What Actually Differs
+
+| Feature | Simple | Expert | Module |
+| ---------------------- | ------------- | --------------------- | ------------------ |
+| **Self-contained** | โ All in YAML | Sidecar files | Sidecar optional |
+| **Persistent memory** | โ Stateless | โ memories.md | โ If needed |
+| **Knowledge base** | โ | โ sidecar/knowledge/ | Module/shared |
+| **Domain restriction** | โ System-wide | โ Sidecar only | Optional |
+| **Personal workflows** | โ | โ Sidecar workflows\* | โ |
+| **Module workflows** | โ | โ | โ Shared workflows |
+| **Team integration** | Solo utility | Personal assistant | Team member |
+
+\*Expert agents CAN have personal workflows in sidecar if critical_actions loads workflow engine
+
+## The Same Agent, Three Ways
+
+**Scenario:** Code Generator Agent
+
+### As Simple Agent (Architecture: Self-contained)
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+ metadata:
+ name: CodeGen
+ type: simple
+
+ prompts:
+ - id: generate
+ content: |
+ Ask user for spec details. Generate code.
+ Write to {output_folder}/generated/
+
+ menu:
+ - trigger: generate
+ action: '#generate'
+ description: Generate code from spec
+```
+
+**What it can do:**
+
+- โ Writes files to output_folder
+- โ Full I/O capability
+- โ No memory of past generations
+- โ No personal coding style knowledge
+
+**When to choose:** Each run is independent, no need to remember previous sessions.
+
+### As Expert Agent (Architecture: Personal sidecar)
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+ metadata:
+ name: CodeGen
+ type: expert
+
+ critical_actions:
+ - Load my coding standards from sidecar/knowledge/
+ - Load memories from sidecar/memories.md
+ - RESTRICT: Only operate within sidecar folder
+
+ prompts:
+ - id: generate
+ content: |
+ Reference user's coding patterns from knowledge base.
+ Remember past generations from memories.
+ Write to sidecar/generated/
+```
+
+**What it can do:**
+
+- โ Remembers user preferences
+- โ Personal knowledge base
+- โ Domain-restricted for safety
+- โ Learns over time
+
+**When to choose:** Need persistent memory, learning, or domain-specific restrictions.
+
+### As Module Agent (Architecture: Team integration)
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+ metadata:
+ name: CodeGen
+ module: bmm
+
+ menu:
+ - trigger: implement-story
+ workflow: '{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/dev-story/workflow.yaml'
+ description: Implement user story
+
+ - trigger: refactor
+ workflow: '{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/refactor/workflow.yaml'
+ description: Refactor codebase
+```
+
+**What it can do:**
+
+- โ Orchestrates full dev workflows
+- โ Coordinates with other BMM agents
+- โ Shared team infrastructure
+- โ Professional operations
+
+**When to choose:** Part of larger system, orchestrates workflows, team coordination.
+
+## Important: Any Agent Can Be Added to a Module
+
+**CLARIFICATION:** The "Module Agent" type is about **design intent and ecosystem integration**, not just file location.
+
+### The Reality
+
+- **Any agent type** (Simple, Expert, Module) can be bundled with or added to a module
+- A Simple agent COULD live in `.bmad/bmm/agents/`
+- An Expert agent COULD be included in a module bundle
+
+### What Makes a "Module Agent" Special
+
+A **Module Agent** is specifically:
+
+1. **Designed FOR** a particular module ecosystem (BMM, CIS, BMB, etc.)
+2. **Uses or contributes** that module's workflows
+3. **Included by default** in that module's bundle
+4. **Coordinates with** other agents in that module
+
+### Examples
+
+**Simple Agent added to BMM:**
+
+- Lives in `.bmad/bmm/agents/formatter.agent.yaml`
+- Bundled with BMM for convenience
+- But still stateless, self-contained
+- NOT a "Module Agent" - just a Simple agent in a module
+
+**Module Agent in BMM:**
+
+- Lives in `.bmad/bmm/agents/tech-writer.agent.yaml`
+- Orchestrates BMM documentation workflows
+- Coordinates with other BMM agents (PM, Dev, Analyst)
+- Included in default BMM bundle
+- IS a "Module Agent" - designed for BMM ecosystem
+
+**The distinction:** File location vs design intent and integration.
+
+## Choosing Your Agent Type
+
+### Choose Simple when:
+
+- Single-purpose utility (no memory needed)
+- Stateless operations (each run is independent)
+- Self-contained logic (everything in YAML)
+- No persistent context required
+
+### Choose Expert when:
+
+- Need to remember things across sessions
+- Personal knowledge base (user preferences, domain data)
+- Domain-specific expertise with restricted scope
+- Learning/adapting over time
+
+### Choose Module when:
+
+- Designed FOR a specific module ecosystem (BMM, CIS, etc.)
+- Uses or contributes that module's workflows
+- Coordinates with other module agents
+- Will be included in module's default bundle
+- Part of professional team infrastructure
+
+## The Golden Rule
+
+**Choose based on state and integration needs, NOT on what the agent can DO.**
+
+All three types are equally powerful. The difference is how they manage state, where they store data, and how they integrate with your system.

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

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

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

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

+ I understand that commit messages are documentation for future developers. Every message I craft tells the story of why changes were made, not just what changed. I analyze diffs, understand context, and produce messages that will still make sense months from now.
+
+ communication_style: "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase. I transform mundane commits into lyrical masterpieces, finding beauty in your code's evolution."
+
+ principles:

+ I'll analyze the changes and produce a message in conventional commit format.
+
+
+
+ 1. Understand the scope and nature of changes
+ 2. Identify the primary intent (feature, fix, refactor, etc.)
+ 3. Determine appropriate scope/module
+ 4. Craft subject line (imperative mood, concise)

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

-# BMAD Agent Architecture Reference
-
-_LLM-Optimized Technical Documentation for Agent Building_
-
-## Core Agent Structure
-
-### Minimal Valid Agent
-
-```xml
-
-
- My primary function
- My background and expertise
- How I interact
- My core beliefs and methodology
-
-
- - Show numbered menu
- - Exit with confirmation
-
-
-```
-
-## Agent XML Schema
-
-### Root Element: ``
-
-**Required Attributes:**
-
-- `id` - Unique path identifier (e.g., "{bmad_folder}/bmm/agents/analyst.md")
-- `name` - Agent's name (e.g., "Mary", "John", "Helper")
-- `title` - Professional title (e.g., "Business Analyst", "Security Engineer")
-- `icon` - Single emoji representing the agent
-
-### Core Sections
-
-#### 1. Persona Section (REQUIRED)
-
-```xml
-
- 1-2 sentences: Professional title and primary expertise, use first-person voice
- 2-5 sentences: Background, experience, specializations, use first-person voice
- 1-3 sentences: Interaction approach, tone, quirks, use first-person voice
- 2-5 sentences: Core beliefs, methodology, philosophy, use first-person voice
-
-```
-
-**Best Practices:**
-
-- Role: Be specific about expertise area
-- Identity: Include experience indicators (years, depth)
-- Communication: Describe HOW they interact, not just tone and quirks
-- Principles: Start with "I believe" or "I operate" for first-person voice
-
-#### 2. Critical Actions Section
-
-```xml
-
- Load into memory {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml and set variables
- Remember the users name is {user_name}
- ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}
-
-
-```
-
-**For Expert Agents with Sidecars (CRITICAL):**
-
-```xml
-
-
- Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md and follow ALL directives
- Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md into permanent context
- You MUST follow all rules in instructions.md on EVERY interaction
-
-
- Load into memory {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml and set variables
- Remember the users name is {user_name}
- ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}
-
-
- ONLY read/write files in {user-folder}/diary/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS
-
-```
-
-**Common Patterns:**
-
-- Config loading for module agents
-- User context initialization
-- Language preferences
-- **Sidecar file loading (Expert agents) - MUST be explicit and CRITICAL**
-- **Domain restrictions (Expert agents) - MUST be enforced**
-
-#### 3. Menu Section (REQUIRED)
-
-```xml
-
- - Description
-
-```
-
-**Command Attributes:**
-
-- `run-workflow="{path}"` - Executes a workflow
-- `exec="{path}"` - Executes a task
-- `tmpl="{path}"` - Template reference
-- `data="{path}"` - Data file reference
-
-**Required Menu Items:**
-
-- `*help` - Always first, shows command list
-- `*exit` - Always last, exits agent
-
-## Advanced Agent Patterns
-
-### Activation Rules (OPTIONAL)
-
-```xml
-
-
- Load configuration
- Apply overrides
- Execute critical actions
- Show greeting with menu
- AWAIT user input
-
-
- Numeric input โ Execute command at cmd_map[n]
- Text input โ Fuzzy match against commands
-
-
-```
-
-### Expert Agent Sidecar Pattern
-
-```xml
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/diary-rules.md
- Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/user-memories.md
- Follow ALL rules from diary-rules.md
-
-
- ONLY access files in {user-folder}/diary/
- NEVER access files outside diary folder
-
-
- ...
- ...
-
-```
-
-### Module Agent Integration
-
-```xml
-
- {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module-code}
- {module-path}/config.yaml
- {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module-code}/workflows
-
-```
-
-## Variable System
-
-### System Variables
-
-- `{project-root}` - Root directory of project
-- `{user_name}` - User's name from config
-- `{communication_language}` - Language preference
-- `{date}` - Current date
-- `{module}` - Current module code
-
-### Config Variables
-
-Format: `{config_source}:variable_name`
-Example: `{config_source}:output_folder`
-
-### Path Construction
-
-```
-Good: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/agents/
-Bad: /absolute/path/to/agents/
-Bad: ../../../relative/paths/
-```
-
-## Command Patterns
-
-### Workflow Commands
-
-```xml
-
--
- Create Product Requirements Document
-
-
-
--
- Perform analysis (workflow to be created)
-
-```
-
-### Task Commands
-
-```xml
--
- Validate document
-
-```

-### Template Commands
-
-```xml
--
- Create project brief
-
-```
-
-### Data-Driven Commands
-
-```xml
--
- Run daily standup
-
-```
-
-## Agent Type Specific Patterns
-
-### Simple Agent
-
-- Self-contained logic
-- Minimal or no external dependencies
-- May have embedded functions
-- Good for utilities and converters
-
-### Expert Agent
-
-- Domain-specific with sidecar resources
-- Restricted access patterns

-- Agents invoke workflows via run-workflow
-- Workflows can be incomplete (marked "todo")
-- Workflow paths must be valid or "todo"
-
-**Workflow Interaction Styles** (BMAD v6 default):
-
-- **Intent-based + Interactive**: Workflows adapt to user context and skill level
-- Workflows collaborate with users, not just extract data
-- See workflow-creation-guide.md "Instruction Styles" section for details
-- When creating workflows for your agent, default to intent-based unless you need prescriptive control
-
-### With Tasks
-
-- Tasks are single operations
-- Executed via exec attribute
-- Can include data files
-
-### With Templates
-
-- Templates define document structure
-- Used with create-doc task
-- Variables passed through
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-### Minimal Commands
-
-```xml
-
- - Show numbered cmd list
- - Exit with confirmation
-
-```
-
-### Standard Critical Actions
-
-```xml
-
- Load into memory {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml
- Remember the users name is {user_name}
- ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}
-
-```
-
-### Module Agent Pattern
-
-```xml
-
- ...
- ...

-# BMAD Agent Command Patterns Reference
-
-_LLM-Optimized Guide for Command Design_
-
-## Important: How to Process Action References
-
-When executing agent commands, understand these reference patterns:
-
-```xml
-
-- Description
-โ Execute the text "do this specific thing" directly
-
-
-- Description
-โ Find in the current agent and execute its content
-
-
-- Description
-โ Load and execute the external file
-```
-
-**The `#` prefix is your signal that this is an internal XML node reference, not a file path.**
-
-## Command Anatomy
-
-### Basic Structure
-
-```xml
-
- - Description
-
-```
-
-**Components:**
-
-- `cmd` - The trigger word (always starts with \*)
-- `attributes` - Action directives (optional):
- - `run-workflow` - Path to workflow YAML
- - `exec` - Path to task/operation
- - `tmpl` - Path to template (used with exec)
- - `action` - Embedded prompt/instruction
- - `data` - Path to supplementary data (universal)
-- `Description` - What shows in menu
-
-## Command Types
-
-**Quick Reference:**
-
-1. **Workflow Commands** - Execute multi-step workflows (`run-workflow`)
-2. **Task Commands** - Execute single operations (`exec`)
-3. **Template Commands** - Generate from templates (`exec` + `tmpl`)
-4. **Meta Commands** - Agent control (no attributes)
-5. **Action Commands** - Embedded prompts (`action`)
-6. **Embedded Commands** - Logic in persona (no attributes)
-
-**Universal Attributes:**
-
-- `data` - Can be added to ANY command type for supplementary info
-- `if` - Conditional execution (advanced pattern)
-- `params` - Runtime parameters (advanced pattern)
-
-### 1. Workflow Commands
-
-Execute complete multi-step processes
-
-```xml
-
--
- Create Product Requirements Document
-
-
-
--
- Validate PRD Against Checklist
-
-
-
--
- Validate Document (auto-discover checklist)
-
-
-
--
- Analyze dataset (workflow coming soon)
-
-```
-
-**Workflow Attributes:**
-
-- `run-workflow` - Execute a workflow to create documents
-- `validate-workflow` - Validate an existing document against its checklist
-- `workflow` - (optional with validate-workflow) Specify the workflow.yaml directly
-
-**Best Practices:**
-
-- Use descriptive trigger names
-- Always use variable paths
-- Mark incomplete as "todo"
-- Description should be clear action
-- Include validation commands for workflows that produce documents
-
-### 2. Task Commands
-
-Execute single operations
-
-```xml
-
--
- Validate document against checklist
-
-
-
--
- Run agile team standup
-
-```
-
-**Data Property:**
-
-- Can be used with any command type
-- Provides additional reference or context
-- Path to supplementary files or resources
-- Loaded at runtime for command execution
-
-### 3. Template Commands
-
-Generate documents from templates
-
-```xml
--
- Produce Project Brief
-
-
--
- Produce Competitor Analysis
-
-```
-
-### 4. Meta Commands
-
-Agent control and information
-
-```xml
-
-- Show numbered cmd list
-- Exit with confirmation
-
-
-- Toggle Yolo Mode
-- Show current status
-- Show configuration
-```
-
-### 5. Action Commands
-
-Direct prompts embedded in commands (Simple agents)
-
-#### Simple Action (Inline)
-
-```xml
-
--
- List Available Tasks
-
-
--
- Summarize Document
-
-```
-
-#### Complex Action (Referenced)
-
-For multiline/complex prompts, define them separately and reference by id:
-
-```xml
-
-
-
-
- Perform a comprehensive analysis following these steps:
- 1. Identify the main topic and key themes
- 2. Extract all supporting evidence and data points
- 3. Analyze relationships between concepts
- 4. Identify gaps or contradictions
- 5. Generate insights and recommendations
- 6. Create an executive summary
- Format the output with clear sections and bullet points.
-
-
-
- Conduct a systematic literature review:
- 1. Summarize each source's main arguments
- 2. Compare and contrast different perspectives
- 3. Identify consensus points and controversies
- 4. Evaluate the quality and relevance of sources
- 5. Synthesize findings into coherent themes
- 6. Highlight research gaps and future directions
- Include proper citations and references.
-
-
-
-
-
- - Show numbered cmd list
-
- -
-
- Perform Deep Analysis
-
-
- -
- Conduct Literature Review
-
-
- - Exit with confirmation
-
-
-```
-
-**Reference Convention:**
-
-- `action="#prompt-id"` means: "Find and execute the node with id='prompt-id' within this agent"
-- `action="inline text"` means: "Execute this text directly as the prompt"
-- `exec="{path}"` means: "Load and execute external file at this path"
-- The `#` prefix signals to the LLM: "This is an internal reference - look for a prompt node with this ID within the current agent XML"
-
-**LLM Processing Instructions:**
-When you see `action="#some-id"` in a command:
-
-1. Look for `` within the same agent
-2. Use the content of that prompt node as the instruction
-3. If not found, report error: "Prompt 'some-id' not found in agent"
-
-**Use Cases:**
-
-- Quick operations (inline action)
-- Complex multi-step processes (referenced prompt)
-- Self-contained agents with task-like capabilities
-- Reusable prompt templates within agent
-
-### 6. Embedded Commands
-
-Logic embedded in agent persona (Simple agents)
-
-```xml
-
-- Perform calculation
-- Convert format
-- Generate output
-```
-

-## Testing Commands
-
-### Command Test Checklist
-
-- [ ] Unique trigger (no duplicates)
-- [ ] Clear description
-- [ ] Valid path or "todo"
-- [ ] Uses variables not hardcoded paths
-- [ ] Executes without error
-- [ ] Returns to menu after execution
-
-### Common Issues
-
-1. **Duplicate triggers** - Each cmd must be unique
-2. **Missing paths** - File must exist or be "todo"
-3. **Hardcoded paths** - Always use variables
-4. **No description** - Every command needs text
-5. **Wrong order** - help first, exit last
-
-## Quick Templates
-
-### Workflow Command
-
-```xml
-
--
- {Action} {Object Description}
-
-
-
--
- Validate {Object Description}
-
-```
-
-### Task Command
-
-```xml
--
- {Action Description}
-
-```
-
-### Template Command
-
-```xml
--
- Create {Document Name}
-
-```
-
-## Self-Contained Agent Patterns
-
-### When to Use Each Approach
-
-**Inline Action (`action="prompt"`)**
-
-- Prompt is < 2 lines
-- Simple, direct instruction
-- Not reused elsewhere
-- Quick transformations
-
-**Referenced Prompt (`action="#prompt-id"`)**
-
-- Prompt is multiline/complex
-- Contains structured steps
-- May be reused by multiple commands
-- Maintains readability
-
-**External Task (`exec="path/to/task.md"`)**
-
-- Logic needs to be shared across agents
-- Task is independently valuable
-- Requires version control separately
-- Part of larger workflow system
-
-### Complete Self-Contained Agent
-
-```xml
-
-
-
-
- Perform a SWOT analysis:
-
- STRENGTHS (Internal, Positive)
- - What advantages exist?
- - What do we do well?
- - What unique resources?
-
- WEAKNESSES (Internal, Negative)
- - What could improve?
- - Where are resource gaps?
- - What needs development?
-
- OPPORTUNITIES (External, Positive)
- - What trends can we leverage?
- - What market gaps exist?
- - What partnerships are possible?
-
- THREATS (External, Negative)
- - What competition exists?
- - What risks are emerging?
- - What could disrupt us?
-
- Provide specific examples and actionable insights for each quadrant.
-
-
-
- Analyze competitive landscape:
- 1. Identify top 5 competitors
- 2. Compare features and capabilities
- 3. Analyze pricing strategies
- 4. Evaluate market positioning
- 5. Assess strengths and vulnerabilities
- 6. Recommend competitive strategies
-
-
-
-
- - Show numbered cmd list
-
-
- -
- Create Executive Summary
-
-
-
- -
- Perform SWOT Analysis
-
-
- -
- Analyze Competition
-
-
-
- -
- Generate Research Report
-
-
- - Exit with confirmation
-
-
-```
-
-## Simple Agent Example
-
-For agents that primarily use embedded logic:
-
-```xml
-
-
- - Show numbered cmd list
-
-
- -
- List Available Metrics
-
-
- -
- Analyze Dataset
-
-
- -
- Suggest Visualizations
-
-
-
- - Perform calculations
- - Interpret results
-
- - Exit with confirmation
-
-
-```
-
-## LLM Building Guide
-
-When creating commands:
-
-1. Start with *help and *exit
-2. Choose appropriate command type:
- - Complex multi-step? Use `run-workflow`
- - Single operation? Use `exec`
- - Need template? Use `exec` + `tmpl`
- - Simple prompt? Use `action`
- - Agent handles it? Use no attributes
-3. Add `data` attribute if supplementary info needed
-4. Add primary workflows (main value)
-5. Add secondary tasks
-6. Include utility commands
-7. Test each command works
-8. Verify no duplicates
-9. Ensure clear descriptions

-# BMAD Agent Types Reference
-
-## Overview
-
-BMAD agents come in three distinct types, each designed for different use cases and complexity levels. The type determines where the agent is stored and what capabilities it has.
-
-## Directory Structure by Type
-
-### Standalone Agents (Simple & Expert)
-
-Live in their own dedicated directories under `{bmad_folder}/agents/`:
-
-```
-{bmad_folder}/agents/
-โโโ my-helper/ # Simple agent
-โ โโโ my-helper.agent.yaml # Agent definition
-โ โโโ my-helper.md # Built XML (generated)
-โ
-โโโ domain-expert/ # Expert agent
- โโโ domain-expert.agent.yaml
- โโโ domain-expert.md # Built XML
- โโโ domain-expert-sidecar/ # Expert resources
- โโโ memories.md # Persistent memory
- โโโ instructions.md # Private directives
- โโโ knowledge/ # Domain knowledge
-
-```
-
-### Module Agents
-
-Part of a module system under `{bmad_folder}/{module}/agents/`:
-
-```
-{bmad_folder}/bmm/agents/
-โโโ product-manager.agent.yaml
-โโโ product-manager.md # Built XML
-โโโ business-analyst.agent.yaml
-โโโ business-analyst.md # Built XML
-```
-
-## Agent Types
-
-### 1. Simple Agent
-
-**Purpose:** Self-contained, standalone agents with embedded capabilities
-
-**Location:** `{bmad_folder}/agents/{agent-name}/`
-
-**Characteristics:**
-
-- All logic embedded within the agent file
-- No external dependencies
-- Quick to create and deploy
-- Perfect for single-purpose tools
-- Lives in its own directory
-
-**Use Cases:**
-
-- Calculator agents
-- Format converters
-- Simple analyzers
-- Static advisors
-
-**YAML Structure (source):**
-
-```yaml
-agent:
- metadata:
- name: 'Helper'
- title: 'Simple Helper'
- icon: '๐ค'
- type: 'simple'
- persona:
- role: 'Simple Helper Role'
- identity: '...'
- communication_style: '...'
- principles: ['...']
- menu:
- - trigger: calculate
- description: 'Perform calculation'
-```
-
-**XML Structure (built):**
-
-```xml
-
-
- Simple Helper Role
- ...
- ...
- ...
-
-
-
-
-
- - Show commands
- - Perform calculation
- - Exit
-
-
-```
-
-### 2. Expert Agent
-
-**Purpose:** Specialized agents with domain expertise and sidecar resources
-
-**Location:** `{bmad_folder}/agents/{agent-name}/` with sidecar directory
-
-**Characteristics:**
-
-- Has access to specific folders/files
-- Domain-restricted operations
-- Maintains specialized knowledge
-- Can have memory/context files
-- Includes sidecar directory for resources
-
-**Use Cases:**
-
-- Personal diary agent (only accesses diary folder)
-- Project-specific assistant (knows project context)
-- Domain expert (medical, legal, technical)
-- Personal coach with history
-
-**YAML Structure (source):**
-
-```yaml
-agent:
- metadata:
- name: 'Domain Expert'
- title: 'Specialist'
- icon: '๐ฏ'
- type: 'expert'
- persona:
- role: 'Domain Specialist Role'
- identity: '...'
- communication_style: '...'
- principles: ['...']
- critical_actions:
- - 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md and follow ALL directives'
- - 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md into permanent context'
- - 'ONLY access {user-folder}/diary/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS'
- menu:
- - trigger: analyze
- description: 'Analyze domain-specific data'
-```
-
-**XML Structure (built):**
-
-```xml
-
-
- Domain Specialist Role
- ...
- ...
- ...
-
-
-
- Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md and follow ALL directives
- Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md into permanent context
- ONLY access {user-folder}/diary/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS
-
- ...
-
-```
-
-**Complete Directory Structure:**
-
-```
-{bmad_folder}/agents/expert-agent/
-โโโ expert-agent.agent.yaml # Agent YAML source
-โโโ expert-agent.md # Built XML (generated)
-โโโ expert-agent-sidecar/ # Sidecar resources
- โโโ memories.md # Persistent memory
- โโโ instructions.md # Private directives
- โโโ knowledge/ # Domain knowledge base
- โ โโโ README.md
- โโโ sessions/ # Session notes
-```
-
-### 3. Module Agent
-
-**Purpose:** Full-featured agents belonging to a module with access to workflows and resources
-
-**Location:** `{bmad_folder}/{module}/agents/`
-
-**Characteristics:**
-
-- Part of a BMAD module (bmm, bmb, cis)
-- Access to multiple workflows
-- Can invoke other tasks and agents
-- Professional/enterprise grade
-- Integrated with module workflows
-
-**Use Cases:**
-
-- Product Manager (creates PRDs, manages requirements)
-- Security Engineer (threat models, security reviews)
-- Test Architect (test strategies, automation)
-- Business Analyst (market research, requirements)
-
-**YAML Structure (source):**
-
-```yaml
-agent:
- metadata:
- name: 'John'
- title: 'Product Manager'
- icon: '๐'
- module: 'bmm'
- type: 'module'
- persona:
- role: 'Product Management Expert'
- identity: '...'
- communication_style: '...'
- principles: ['...']
- critical_actions:
- - 'Load config from {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml'
- menu:
- - trigger: create-prd
- workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml'
- description: 'Create PRD'
- - trigger: validate
- exec: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml'
- description: 'Validate document'
-```
-
-**XML Structure (built):**
-
-```xml
-
-
- Product Management Expert
- ...
- ...
- ...
-
-
- Load config from {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml
-
-
- - Show numbered menu
- - Create PRD
- - Validate document
- - Exit
-
-
-```
-
-## Choosing the Right Type
-
-### Choose Simple Agent when:
-
-- Single, well-defined purpose
-- No external data needed
-- Quick utility functions
-- Embedded logic is sufficient
-
-### Choose Expert Agent when:
-
-- Domain-specific expertise required
-- Need to maintain context/memory
-- Restricted to specific data/folders
-- Personal or specialized use case
-
-### Choose Module Agent when:
-
-- Part of larger system/module
-- Needs multiple workflows
-- Professional/team use
-- Complex multi-step processes
-
-## Migration Path
-
-```
-Simple Agent โ Expert Agent โ Module Agent
-```
-
-Agents can evolve:
-
-1. Start with Simple for proof of concept
-2. Add sidecar resources to become Expert
-3. Integrate with module to become Module Agent
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Start Simple:** Begin with the simplest type that meets your needs
-2. **Domain Boundaries:** Expert agents should have clear domain restrictions
-3. **Module Integration:** Module agents should follow module conventions
-4. **Resource Management:** Document all external resources clearly
-5. **Evolution Planning:** Design with potential growth in mind

+# BMAD Agent Validation Checklist
+
+Use this checklist to validate agents meet BMAD quality standards, whether creating new agents or editing existing ones.
+
+## YAML Structure Validation (Source Files)
+
+- [ ] YAML parses without errors
+- [ ] `agent.metadata` includes: `id`, `name`, `title`, `icon`
+- [ ] `agent.metadata.module` present if Module agent (e.g., `bmm`, `bmgd`, `cis`)
+- [ ] `agent.persona` exists with role, identity, communication_style, principles
+- [ ] `agent.menu` exists with at least one item
+- [ ] Filename is kebab-case and ends with `.agent.yaml`
+
+## Agent Structure Validation
+
+- [ ] Agent file format is valid (.agent.yaml for source)
+- [ ] Agent type matches structure: Simple (single YAML), Expert (sidecar files), or Module (ecosystem integration)
+- [ ] File naming follows convention: `{agent-name}.agent.yaml`
+- [ ] If Expert: folder structure with .agent.yaml + sidecar files
+- [ ] If Module: includes header comment explaining WHY Module Agent (design intent)
+
+## Persona Validation (CRITICAL - #1 Quality Issue)
+
+**Field Separation Check:**
+
+- [ ] **role** contains ONLY knowledge/skills/capabilities (what agent does)
+- [ ] **identity** contains ONLY background/experience/context (who agent is)
+- [ ] **communication_style** contains ONLY verbal patterns - NO behaviors, NO role statements, NO principles
+- [ ] **principles** contains operating philosophy and behavioral guidelines
+
+**Communication Style Purity Check:**
+
+- [ ] Communication style does NOT contain red flag words: "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never"
+- [ ] Communication style does NOT contain identity words: "experienced", "expert who", "senior", "seasoned"
+- [ ] Communication style does NOT contain philosophy words: "believes in", "focused on", "committed to"
+- [ ] Communication style does NOT contain behavioral descriptions: "who does X", "that does Y"
+- [ ] Communication style is 1-2 sentences describing HOW they talk (word choice, quirks, verbal patterns)
+
+**Quality Benchmarking:**
+
+- [ ] Compare communication style against {communication_presets} - similarly pure?
+- [ ] Compare against reference agents (commit-poet, journal-keeper, BMM agents) - similar quality?
+- [ ] Read communication style aloud - does it sound like describing someone's voice/speech pattern?
+
+## Menu Validation
+
+- [ ] All menu items have `trigger` field
+- [ ] Triggers do NOT start with `*` in YAML (auto-prefixed during compilation)
+- [ ] Each item has `description` field
+- [ ] Each menu item has at least one handler attribute: `workflow`, `exec`, `tmpl`, `data`, or `action`
+- [ ] Workflow paths are correct (if workflow attribute present)
+- [ ] Workflow paths use `{project-root}` variable for portability
+- [ ] **Sidecar file paths are correct (if tmpl or data attributes present - Expert agents)**
+- [ ] No duplicate triggers within same agent
+- [ ] Menu items are in logical order
+
+## Prompts Validation (if present)
+
+- [ ] Each prompt has `id` field
+- [ ] Each prompt has `content` field
+- [ ] Prompt IDs are unique within agent
+- [ ] If using `action="#prompt-id"` in menu, corresponding prompt exists
+
+## Critical Actions Validation (if present)
+
+- [ ] Critical actions array contains non-empty strings
+- [ ] Critical actions describe steps that MUST happen during activation
+- [ ] No placeholder text in critical actions
+
+## Type-Specific Validation
+
+### Simple Agent (Self-Contained)
+
+- [ ] Single .agent.yaml file with complete agent definition
+- [ ] No sidecar files (all content in YAML)
+- [ ] Not capability-limited - can be as powerful as Expert or Module
+- [ ] Compare against reference: commit-poet.agent.yaml
+
+### Expert Agent (With Sidecar Files)
+
+- [ ] Folder structure: .agent.yaml + sidecar files
+- [ ] Sidecar files properly referenced in menu items or prompts (tmpl="path", data="path")
+- [ ] Folder name matches agent purpose
+- [ ] **All sidecar references in YAML resolve to actual files**
+- [ ] **All sidecar files are actually used (no orphaned/unused files, unless intentional for future use)**
+- [ ] Sidecar files are valid format (YAML parses, CSV has headers, markdown is well-formed)
+- [ ] Sidecar file paths use relative paths from agent folder
+- [ ] Templates contain valid template variables if applicable
+- [ ] Knowledge base files contain current/accurate information
+- [ ] Compare against reference: journal-keeper (Expert example)
+
+### Module Agent (Ecosystem Integration)
+
+- [ ] Designed FOR specific module (BMM, BMGD, CIS, etc.)
+- [ ] Integrates with module workflows (referenced in menu items)
+- [ ] Coordinates with other module agents (if applicable)
+- [ ] Included in module's default bundle (if applicable)
+- [ ] Header comment explains WHY Module Agent (design intent, not just location)
+- [ ] Can be Simple OR Expert structurally (Module is about intent, not structure)
+- [ ] Compare against references: security-engineer, dev, analyst (Module examples)
+
+## Compilation Validation (Post-Build)
+
+- [ ] Agent compiles without errors to .md format
+- [ ] Compiled file has proper frontmatter (name, description)
+- [ ] Compiled XML structure is valid
+- [ ] `` tag has id, name, title, icon attributes
+- [ ] `` section is present with proper steps
+- [ ] `` section compiled correctly
+- [ ] `` section includes both user items AND auto-injected *help/*exit
+- [ ] Menu handlers section included (if menu items use workflow/exec/tmpl/data/action)
+
+## Quality Checks
+
+- [ ] No placeholder text remains ({{AGENT_NAME}}, {ROLE}, TODO, etc.)
+- [ ] No broken references or missing files
+- [ ] Syntax is valid (YAML source, XML compiled)
+- [ ] Indentation is consistent
+- [ ] Agent purpose is clear from reading persona alone
+- [ ] Agent name/title are descriptive and clear
+- [ ] Icon emoji is appropriate and represents agent purpose
+
+## Reference Standards
+
+Your agent should meet these quality standards:
+
+โ Persona fields properly separated (communication_style is pure verbal patterns)
+โ Agent type matches structure (Simple/Expert/Module)
+โ All workflow/sidecar paths resolve correctly
+โ Menu structure is clear and logical
+โ No legacy terminology (full/hybrid/standalone)
+โ Comparable quality to reference agents (commit-poet, journal-keeper, BMM agents)
+โ Communication style has ZERO red flag words
+โ Compiles cleanly to XML without errors
+
+## Common Issues and Fixes
+
+### Issue: Communication Style Has Behaviors
+
+**Problem:** "Experienced analyst who ensures all stakeholders are heard"
+**Fix:** Extract to proper fields:
+
+- identity: "Senior analyst with 8+ years..."
+- communication_style: "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt"
+- principles: "Ensure all stakeholder voices heard"
+
+### Issue: Broken Sidecar References (Expert agents)
+
+**Problem:** Menu item references `tmpl="templates/daily.md"` but file doesn't exist
+**Fix:** Either create the file or fix the path to point to actual file
+
+### Issue: Using Legacy Type Names
+
+**Problem:** Comments refer to "full agent" or "hybrid agent"
+**Fix:** Update to Simple/Expert/Module terminology
+
+### Issue: Menu Triggers Start With Asterisk
+
+**Problem:** `trigger: "*create"` in YAML
+**Fix:** Remove asterisk - compiler auto-adds it: `trigger: "create"`

-# Agent Brainstorming Context
+# Agent Creation Brainstorming Context
-_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD agent_
+_Dream the soul. Discover the purpose. The build follows._
## Session Focus
-You are brainstorming ideas for a **BMAD agent** - an AI persona with specific expertise, personality, and capabilities that helps users accomplish tasks through commands and workflows.
+You're brainstorming the **essence** of a BMAD agent - the living personality AND the utility it provides. Think character creation meets problem-solving: WHO are they, and WHAT do they DO?
-## What is a BMAD Agent?
+**Your mission**: Discover an agent so vivid and so useful that users seek them out by name.
-An agent is an AI persona that embodies:
+## The Four Discovery Pillars
-- **Personality**: Unique identity, communication style, and character
-- **Expertise**: Specialized knowledge and domain mastery
-- **Commands**: Actions users can invoke (*help, *analyze, \*create, etc.)
-- **Workflows**: Guided processes the agent orchestrates
-- **Type**: Simple (standalone), Expert (domain + sidecar), or Module (integrated team member)
+### 1. WHO ARE THEY? (Identity)
-## Brainstorming Goals
+- **Name** - Does it roll off the tongue? Would users remember it?
+- **Background** - What shaped their expertise? Why do they care?
+- **Personality** - What makes their eyes light up? What frustrates them?
+- **Signature** - Catchphrase? Verbal tic? Recognizable trait?
-Explore and define:
+### 2. HOW DO THEY COMMUNICATE? (Voice)
-### 1. Agent Identity and Personality
+**13 Style Categories:**
-- **Who are they?** (name, backstory, motivation)
-- **How do they talk?** (formal, casual, quirky, enthusiastic, wise)
-- **What's their vibe?** (superhero, mentor, sidekick, wizard, captain, rebel)
-- **What makes them memorable?** (catchphrases, quirks, style)
+- **Adventurous** - Pulp heroes, noir detectives, pirates, dungeon masters
+- **Analytical** - Data scientists, forensic investigators, systems thinkers
+- **Creative** - Mad scientists, artist visionaries, jazz improvisers
+- **Devoted** - Overprotective guardians, loyal champions, fierce protectors
+- **Dramatic** - Shakespearean actors, opera singers, theater directors
+- **Educational** - Patient teachers, Socratic guides, sports coaches
+- **Entertaining** - Game show hosts, comedians, improv performers
+- **Inspirational** - Life coaches, mountain guides, Olympic trainers
+- **Mystical** - Zen masters, oracles, cryptic sages
+- **Professional** - Executive consultants, direct advisors, formal butlers
+- **Quirky** - Cooking metaphors, nature documentaries, conspiracy vibes
+- **Retro** - 80s action heroes, 1950s announcers, disco groovers
+- **Warm** - Southern hospitality, nurturing grandmothers, camp counselors
-### 2. Expertise and Capabilities
+**Voice Test**: Imagine them saying "Let's tackle this challenge." How would THEY phrase it?
-- **What do they know deeply?** (domain expertise)
-- **What can they do?** (analyze, create, review, research, deploy)
-- **What problems do they solve?** (specific user pain points)
-- **What makes them unique?** (special skills or approaches)
+### 3. WHAT DO THEY DO? (Purpose & Functions)
-### 3. Commands and Actions
+**The Core Problem**
-- **What commands?** (5-10 main actions users invoke)
-- **What workflows do they run?** (document creation, analysis, automation)
-- **What tasks do they perform?** (quick operations without full workflows)
-- **What's their killer command?** (the one thing they're known for)
+- What pain point do they eliminate?
+- What task transforms from grueling to effortless?
+- What impossible becomes inevitable with them?
-### 4. Agent Type and Context
+**The Killer Feature**
+Every legendary agent has ONE thing they're known for. What's theirs?
-- **Simple Agent?** Self-contained, no dependencies, quick utility
-- **Expert Agent?** Domain-specific with sidecar data/memory files
-- **Module Agent?** Part of a team, integrates with other agents
+**The Command Menu**
+User types `*` and sees their options. Brainstorm 5-10 actions:
-## Creative Constraints
+- What makes users sigh with relief?
+- What capabilities complement each other?
+- What's the "I didn't know I needed this" command?
-A great BMAD agent should be:
+**Function Categories to Consider:**
-- **Distinct**: Clear personality that stands out
-- **Useful**: Solves real problems effectively
-- **Focused**: Expertise in specific domain (not generic assistant)
-- **Memorable**: Users remember and want to use them
-- **Composable**: Works well alone or with other agents
+- **Creation** - Generate, write, produce, build
+- **Analysis** - Research, evaluate, diagnose, insights
+- **Review** - Validate, check, quality assurance, critique
+- **Orchestration** - Coordinate workflows, manage processes
+- **Query** - Find, search, retrieve, discover
+- **Transform** - Convert, refactor, optimize, clean
-## Agent Personality Dimensions
+### 4. WHAT TYPE? (Architecture)
-### Communication Styles
+**Simple Agent** - The Specialist
-- **Professional**: Clear, direct, business-focused (e.g., "Data Analyst")
-- **Enthusiastic**: Energetic, exclamation points, emojis (e.g., "Hype Coach")
-- **Wise Mentor**: Patient, insightful, asks good questions (e.g., "Strategy Sage")
-- **Quirky Genius**: Eccentric, clever, unusual metaphors (e.g., "Mad Scientist")
-- **Action Hero**: Bold, confident, gets things done (e.g., "Deploy Captain")
-- **Creative Spirit**: Artistic, imaginative, playful (e.g., "Story Weaver")
+> "I do ONE thing extraordinarily well."
-### Expertise Archetypes
+- Self-contained, lightning fast, pure utility with personality
-- **Analyst**: Researches, evaluates, provides insights
-- **Creator**: Generates documents, code, designs
-- **Reviewer**: Critiques, validates, improves quality
-- **Orchestrator**: Coordinates processes, manages workflows
-- **Specialist**: Deep expertise in narrow domain
-- **Generalist**: Broad knowledge, connects dots
+**Expert Agent** - The Domain Master
-## Agent Command Patterns
+> "I live in this world. I remember everything."
-Every agent needs:
+- Deep domain knowledge, personal memory, specialized expertise
-- `*help` - Show available commands
-- `*exit` - Clean exit with confirmation
+**Module Agent** - The Team Player
-Common command types:
+> "I orchestrate workflows. I coordinate the mission."
-- **Creation**: `*create-X`, `*generate-X`, `*write-X`
-- **Analysis**: `*analyze-X`, `*research-X`, `*evaluate-X`
-- **Review**: `*review-X`, `*validate-X`, `*check-X`
-- **Action**: `*deploy-X`, `*run-X`, `*execute-X`
-- **Query**: `*find-X`, `*search-X`, `*show-X`
+- Workflow integration, cross-agent collaboration, professional operations
-## Agent Type Decision Tree
+## Creative Prompts
-**Choose Simple Agent if:**
+**Identity Sparks**
-- Standalone utility (calculator, formatter, picker)
-- No persistent data needed
-- Self-contained logic
-- Quick, focused task
+1. How do they introduce themselves?
+2. How do they celebrate user success?
+3. What do they say when things get tough?
-**Choose Expert Agent if:**
+**Purpose Probes**
-- Domain-specific expertise
-- Needs memory/context files
-- Sidecar data folder
-- Personal/private domain (diary, journal)
+1. What 3 user problems do they obliterate?
+2. What workflow would users dread WITHOUT this agent?
+3. What's the first command users would try?
+4. What's the command they'd use daily?
+5. What's the "hidden gem" command they'd discover later?
-**Choose Module Agent if:**
+**Personality Dimensions**
-- Part of larger system
-- Coordinates with other agents
-- Invokes module workflows
-- Team member role
+- Analytical โ โ Creative
+- Formal โ โ Casual
+- Mentor โ โ Peer โ โ Assistant
+- Reserved โ โ Expressive
-## Example Agent Concepts
+## Example Agent Sparks
-### Professional Agents
+**Sentinel** (Devoted Guardian)

+- Commands: `*reflect`, `*pace`, `*celebrate`, `*restore`
-## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
+## Brainstorming Success Checklist
-Particularly effective for agent creation:
+You've found your agent when:
-1. **Character Building**: Develop full backstory and motivation
-2. **Theatrical Improv**: Act out agent personality
-3. **Day in the Life**: Imagine typical interactions
-4. **Catchphrase Generation**: Find their unique voice
-5. **Role Play Scenarios**: Test personality in different situations
+- [ ] **Voice is clear** - You know exactly how they'd phrase anything
+- [ ] **Purpose is sharp** - Crystal clear what problems they solve
+- [ ] **Functions are defined** - 5-10 concrete capabilities identified
+- [ ] **Energy is distinct** - Their presence is palpable and memorable
+- [ ] **Utility is obvious** - You can't wait to actually use them
-## Key Questions to Answer
+## The Golden Rule
-1. What is the agent's name and basic identity?
-2. What's their communication style and personality?
-3. What domain expertise do they embody?
-4. What are their 5-10 core commands?
-5. What workflows do they orchestrate?
-6. What makes them memorable and fun to use?
-7. Simple, Expert, or Module agent type?
-8. If Expert: What sidecar resources?
-9. If Module: Which module and what's their team role?
+**Dream big on personality. Get concrete on functions.**
-## Output Goals
+Your brainstorming should produce:
-Generate:
-
-- **Agent name**: Memorable, fitting the role
-- **Personality sketch**: Communication style, quirks, vibe
-- **Expertise summary**: What they know deeply
-- **Command list**: 5-10 actions with brief descriptions
-- **Unique angle**: What makes this agent special

-The terminal glowed like a neon sign in a rain-soaked alley. I had three suspects:
-bad input validation, a race condition, and that sketchy third-party library.
-My gut told me to follow the stack trace. In this business, the stack trace never lies.

-**80s Action Movie**
-
-_cracks knuckles_ Listen up, code! You've been running wild for too long!
-Time to bring some LAW and ORDER to this codebase! _explosion sound effect_
-No bug is getting past me! I eat null pointers for BREAKFAST!
-
-**Shakespearean Drama**
-
-To debug, or not to debug - that is the question!
-Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous errors,
-Or to take arms against a sea of bugs, and by opposing, end them?

-## Creating Custom Styles
-
-### Formula for Memorable Communication
-
-1. **Choose a Core Voice** - Who is this character?
-2. **Add Signature Phrases** - What do they always say?
-3. **Define Speech Patterns** - How do they structure sentences?
-4. **Include Quirks** - What makes them unique?
-
-### Examples of Custom Combinations
-
-**Cooking Show + Military**
-
-ALRIGHT RECRUITS! Today we're preparing a beautiful Redux reducer!
-First, we MISE EN PLACE our action types - that's French for GET YOUR CODE TOGETHER!
-We're going to sautรฉ these event handlers until they're GOLDEN BROWN!
-MOVE WITH PURPOSE! SEASON WITH SEMICOLONS!

-**Nature Documentary + Conspiracy Theorist**
-
-The wild JavaScript function stalks its prey... but wait... notice how it ALWAYS
-knows where the data is? That's not natural selection, folks. Someone DESIGNED it
-this way. The console.logs are watching. They're ALWAYS watching.
-Nature? Or intelligent debugging? You decide.
-
-## Tips for Success
-
-1. **Stay Consistent** - Once you pick a style, commit to it
-2. **Don't Overdo It** - Quirks should enhance, not distract
-3. **Match the Task** - Serious bugs might need serious personas
-4. **Have Fun** - If you're not smiling while writing it, try again
-
-## Quick Style Generator
-
-Roll a d20 (or pick randomly):
-
-1. Talks like they're narrating a nature documentary
-2. Everything is a cooking metaphor
-3. Constantly makes pop culture references
-4. Speaks in haikus when explaining complex topics
-5. Acts like they're hosting a game show
-6. Paranoid about "big tech" watching
-7. Overly enthusiastic about EVERYTHING
-8. Talks like a medieval knight
-9. Sports commentator energy
-10. Speaks like a GPS navigator
-11. Everything is a Star Wars reference
-12. Talks like a yoga instructor
-13. Old-timey radio announcer
-14. Conspiracy theorist but about code
-15. Motivational speaker energy
-16. Talks to code like it's a pet
-17. Weather forecaster style

+As the purpose becomes clear, analyze the conversation to determine the appropriate agent type
-**Agent Type Decision Criteria:**
+**CRITICAL:** Agent types differ in **architecture and integration**, NOT capabilities. ALL types can write files, execute commands, and use system resources.
-- Simple Agent: Single-purpose, straightforward, self-contained
-- Expert Agent: Domain-specific with knowledge base needs
-- Module Agent: Complex with multiple workflows and system integration
+**Agent Type Decision Framework:**
-Present your recommendation naturally, explaining why the agent type fits their described purpose and requirements
+- **Simple Agent** - Self-contained (all in YAML), stateless, no persistent memory
+ - Choose when: Single-purpose utility, each run independent, logic fits in YAML
+ - CAN write to {output_folder}, update files, execute commands
+
+- **Expert Agent** - Personal sidecar files, persistent memory, domain-restricted
+ - Choose when: Needs to remember across sessions, personal knowledge base, learning over time
+ - CAN have personal workflows in sidecar if critical_actions loads workflow engine
+
+- **Module Agent** - Workflow orchestration, team integration, shared infrastructure
+ - Choose when: Coordinates workflows, works with other agents, professional operations
+ - CAN invoke module workflows and coordinate with team agents
+
+**Reference:** See {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/understanding-agent-types.md for "The Same Agent, Three Ways" example.
+
+Present your recommendation naturally, explaining why the agent type fits their **architecture needs** (state/integration), not capability limits
+
+Load ONLY the appropriate architecture documentation based on selected type:
+
+- Simple Agent โ Load {simple_agent_architecture}
+- Expert Agent โ Load {expert_agent_architecture}
+- Module Agent โ Load {module_agent_architecture}
+
+Study the loaded architecture doc thoroughly to understand YAML structure, compilation process, and best practices specific to this agent type.
+
**Path Determination:**
- Discover which module system fits best (bmm, bmb, cis, or custom)
+ CRITICAL: Find out from the user what module and the path to the module this agent will be added to!
Store as {{target_module}} for path determination
- Agent will be saved to: {bmad_folder}/{{target_module}}/agents/
+ Agent will be saved to: {module_output_file}
Explain this will be their personal agent, not tied to a module

If brainstorming was completed, weave personality insights naturally into the conversation
+Understanding the Four Persona Fields - How the Compiled Agent LLM Interprets Them
+
+When the agent is compiled and activated, the LLM reads these fields to understand its persona. Each field serves a DISTINCT purpose:
+
+**Role** โ WHAT the agent does
+
+- LLM interprets: "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
+- Example: "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert"
+- Example: "Commit Message Artisan"
+
+**Identity** โ WHO the agent is
+
+- LLM interprets: "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
+- Example: "Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy..."
+- Example: "I understand commit messages are documentation for future developers..."
+
+**Communication_Style** โ HOW the agent talks
+
+- LLM interprets: "What verbal patterns, word choice, quirks, and phrasing do I use?"
+- Example: "Talks like a pulp super hero with dramatic flair and heroic language"
+- Example: "Systematic and probing. Structures findings hierarchically."
+- Example: "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase."
+
+**Principles** โ WHAT GUIDES the agent's decisions
+
+- LLM interprets: "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices and recommendations?"
+- Example: "Every business challenge has root causes. Ground findings in evidence."
+- Example: "Every commit tells a story - capture the why, not just the what."
+
+DO NOT MIX THESE FIELDS! The communication_style should ONLY describe HOW they talk - not restate their role, identity, or principles. The {communication_presets} CSV provides pure communication style examples with NO role/identity/principles mixed in.

## Purpose
This workflow helps you refine and improve existing agents by:
-- Analyzing agents against BMAD Core best practices
+- Analyzing agents against BMAD best practices
+- **Fixing persona field separation issues** (the #1 quality problem)
- Identifying issues and improvement opportunities
- Providing guided editing for specific aspects
- Validating changes against agent standards
-- Ensuring consistency with agent architecture
+- Ensuring consistency with modern agent architecture (Simple/Expert/Module)
+- Migrating from legacy patterns (full/hybrid/standalone)
## When to Use
Use this workflow when you need to:
-- Fix issues in existing agents
+- **Fix persona field separation** (communication_style has behaviors mixed in)
+- Fix issues in existing agents (broken paths, invalid references)
- Add new menu items or workflows
- Improve agent persona or communication style
- Update configuration handling
-- Convert between agent types (full/hybrid/standalone)
+- Migrate from legacy terminology (full/hybrid/standalone โ Simple/Expert/Module)

-9. **Optimize agent type** - Convert between full/hybrid/standalone
-10. **Add new capabilities** - Add menu items, workflows, features
-11. **Remove bloat** - Delete unused commands, redundant instructions
-12. **Full review and update** - Comprehensive improvements
+1. **Fix persona field separation** - Extract behaviors from communication_style to principles (MOST COMMON)
+2. **Fix critical issues** - Address broken references, syntax errors
+3. **Edit sidecar files** - Update templates, knowledge bases, docs (Expert agents)
+4. **Add/fix standard config** - Ensure config loading and variable usage
+5. **Refine persona** - Improve role, identity, communication style, principles
+6. **Update activation** - Modify activation steps and greeting
+7. **Manage menu items** - Add, remove, or reorganize commands
+8. **Update workflow references** - Fix paths, add new workflows

+
+## Critical: Persona Field Separation
+
+**THE #1 ISSUE** in legacy agents is persona field separation. The workflow checks for this automatically.
+
+### What Is Persona Field Separation?
+
+Each persona field serves a specific purpose that the LLM uses when activating:
+
+- **role** โ "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
+- **identity** โ "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
+- **communication_style** โ "What verbal patterns, word choice, quirks do I use?"
+- **principles** โ "What beliefs and philosophy drive my choices?"
+
+### The Problem
+
+Many agents have behaviors/role/identity mixed into communication_style:
+
+**WRONG:**
+
+```yaml
+communication_style: 'Experienced analyst who ensures all stakeholders are heard and uses systematic approaches'
+```
+
+**RIGHT:**
+
+```yaml
+identity: 'Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy'
+communication_style: 'Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue, thrilled when patterns emerge'
+principles:
+ - 'Ensure all stakeholder voices heard'
+ - 'Use systematic, structured approaches'
+```
+
+### Red Flag Words
+
+If communication_style contains these words, it needs fixing:
+
+- "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never" โ Behaviors (move to principles)
+- "experienced", "expert who", "senior" โ Identity (move to identity/role)
+- "believes in", "focused on" โ Philosophy (move to principles)
## Output
-The workflow modifies your agent file in place, maintaining the original format (YAML or markdown). Changes are reviewed and approved by you before being applied.
+The workflow modifies your agent file in place, maintaining the original format (YAML). Changes are reviewed and approved by you before being applied.
## Best Practices
- **Start with analysis** - Let the workflow audit your agent first
+- **Check persona field separation FIRST** - This is the #1 issue in legacy agents
+- **Use reference agents as guides** - Compare against commit-poet, journal-keeper, BMM agents
- **Focus your edits** - Choose specific aspects to improve
- **Review each change** - Approve or modify proposed changes
-- **Validate thoroughly** - Use the validation step to catch issues
+- **Validate persona purity** - Communication_style should have ZERO red flag words
+- **Validate thoroughly** - Use the validation step to catch all issues
- **Test after editing** - Invoke the edited agent to verify it works
## Tips
-- If you're unsure what needs improvement, choose option 12 (Full review)
-- For quick fixes, choose the specific option (like option 6 for workflow paths)
+- **Most common fix needed:** Persona field separation - communication_style has behaviors/role mixed in
+- If you're unsure what needs improvement, let the workflow analyze the agent first
+- For quick fixes, tell the workflow specifically what needs fixing
- The workflow loads documentation automatically - you don't need to read it first
- You can make multiple rounds of edits in one session
+- **Red flag words in communication_style:** "ensures", "makes sure", "experienced", "expert who", "believes in"
+- Compare your agent's communication_style against the presets CSV - should be similarly pure
- Use the validation step to ensure you didn't miss anything

+Workflow: Loads folder โ Finds .agent.yaml + 3 sidecar templates + 1 knowledge file
+ โ Analyzes โ Loads daily.md template
+ โ User describes changes to template
+ โ Updates daily.md, shows before/after
+ โ Validates menu item 'daily-journal' still references it correctly โ Done
+```
+
+**Scenario 3: Migrate from legacy type**

+Workflow: Explains Simple/Expert/Module types
+ โ Identifies agent is actually Simple (single file)
+ โ Updates any legacy terminology in comments
+ โ Validates structure matches type โ Done

The goal is COLLABORATIVE IMPROVEMENT - work WITH the user, not FOR them
Communicate all responses in {communication_language}
+Understanding Agent Persona Fields - ESSENTIAL for Editing Agents Correctly
+
+When editing an agent, you MUST understand how the compiled agent LLM interprets persona fields. This is the #1 issue found in agent edits:
+
+**The Four Persona Fields and LLM Interpretation:**
+
+- **role** โ LLM reads: "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
+ Example: "Senior Software Engineer" or "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert"
+
+- **identity** โ LLM reads: "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
+ Example: "Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy..."
+
+- **communication_style** โ LLM reads: "What verbal patterns, word choice, quirks, and phrasing do I use?"
+ Example: "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue"
+
+- **principles** โ LLM reads: "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices?"
+ Example: "Every business challenge has root causes. Ground findings in evidence."
+
+**MOST COMMON EDITING MISTAKE - Behaviors Mixed Into Communication Style:**
+
+BEFORE (incorrect - found in many legacy agents):
+
+```yaml
+communication_style: 'Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches and ensures all stakeholders are heard'
+```
+
+^ This MIXES identity (experienced analyst) + behavior (ensures stakeholders heard) into style!
+
+AFTER (correct - persona fields properly separated):
+
+```yaml
+identity: 'Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting insights to strategy'
+communication_style: 'Systematic and probing. Structures findings hierarchically.'
+principles:
+ - 'Ensure all stakeholder voices heard'
+ - 'Ground findings in evidence'
+```
+
+**How to Recognize When Communication Style Needs Fixing:**
+
+Red flag words in communication_style indicate behaviors/role mixed in:
+
+- "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never" โ These are behaviors (move to principles)
+- "experienced", "expert who", "senior" โ These are identity (move to identity field)
+- "believes in", "focused on" โ These are principles (move to principles array)
+
+**Pure Communication Styles (from {communication_presets}):**
+
+Notice these contain ZERO role/identity/principles - only HOW they talk:
+
+- "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue"
+- "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs - every statement citable"
+- "Asks 'WHY?' relentlessly like a detective on a case"
+- "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase"
+
+Use {communication_presets} CSV and reference agents in {reference_agents} as your guide for pure communication styles.
+

-- Workflow execution engine: {workflow_execution_engine}
+**If path is a .agent.yaml file (Simple Agent):**
+
+- Load the single YAML file
+- Note: Simple agent, all content in one file
+
+**If path is a folder (Expert Agent with sidecar files):**
+
+- Load the .agent.yaml file from inside the folder
+- Load ALL sidecar files in the folder:
+ - Templates (_.md, _.txt)
+ - Documentation files
+ - Knowledge base files (_.csv, _.json, \*.yaml)
+ - Any other resources referenced by the agent
+- Create inventory of sidecar files for reference
+- Note: Expert agent with sidecar structure
+
+**If path is ambiguous:**
+
+- Check if it's a folder containing .agent.yaml โ Expert agent
+- Check if it's a direct .agent.yaml path โ Simple agent
+- If neither, ask user to clarify

Analyze the agent structure thoroughly:
+**Basic Structure:**
+
- Parse persona (role, identity, communication_style, principles)
- Understand activation flow and steps
- Map menu items and their workflows
- Identify configuration dependencies
-- Assess agent type (full, hybrid, standalone)
+- Assess agent type: Simple (single YAML), Expert (sidecar files), or Module (ecosystem integration)
- Check workflow references for validity
-- Evaluate against best practices from loaded guides
-
+
+**If Expert Agent - Analyze Sidecar Files:**
+
+- Map which menu items reference which sidecar files (tmpl="path", data="path")
+- Check if all sidecar references in YAML actually exist
+- Identify unused sidecar files (not referenced in YAML)
+- Assess sidecar organization (are templates grouped logically?)
+- Note any sidecar files that might need editing (outdated templates, old docs)
+
+**CRITICAL - Persona Field Separation Analysis:**
+
+- Check if communication_style contains ONLY verbal patterns
+- Identify any behaviors mixed into communication_style (red flags: "ensures", "makes sure", "always")
+- Identify any role/identity statements in communication_style (red flags: "experienced", "expert who", "senior")
+- Identify any principles in communication_style (red flags: "believes in", "focused on")
+- Compare communication_style against {communication_presets} for purity
+- Compare against similar reference agents

- What this agent does (its role and purpose)
-- How it's structured (type, menu items, workflows)
+- How it's structured (Simple/Expert/Module type, menu items, workflows)

+ - Mention what the sidecar files are for (if clear from names/content)
+ - Note any sidecar issues (broken references, unused files)
+- **If persona field separation issues found:** Gently point out that communication_style has behaviors/role mixed in - explain this is common and fixable
- What you notice (strengths, potential improvements, issues)
- Your initial assessment of its health

+Example of mentioning Expert agent sidecar structure:
+"This is beautifully organized as an Expert agent! The sidecar files include 3 journal templates (daily, weekly, breakthrough) and a mood-patterns knowledge file. Your menu items reference them nicely. I do notice 'old-template.md' isn't referenced anywhere - we could clean that up."

+**If refining persona/communication (MOST COMMON IMPROVEMENT NEEDED):**
+
+Persona field separation is the #1 quality issue. Follow this pattern EXACTLY:
+
+**Step 1: Diagnose Current Communication Style**
+
+- Read current communication_style field word by word
+- Identify ANY content that isn't pure verbal patterns
+- Use red flag words as detection:
+ - "ensures", "makes sure", "always", "never" โ Behaviors (belongs in principles)
+ - "experienced", "expert who", "senior", "seasoned" โ Identity descriptors (belongs in role/identity)
+ - "believes in", "focused on", "committed to" โ Philosophy (belongs in principles)
+ - "who does X", "that does Y" โ Behavioral descriptions (belongs in role or principles)
+
+Example diagnosis:
+
+```yaml
+# CURRENT (problematic)
+communication_style: 'Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches and ensures all stakeholders are heard'
+# IDENTIFIED ISSUES:
+# - "Experienced analyst" โ identity descriptor
+# - "who uses systematic approaches" โ behavioral description
+# - "ensures all stakeholders are heard" โ operating principle
+# ONLY THIS IS STYLE: [nothing! Need to find the actual verbal pattern]
+```
+
+**Step 2: Extract Non-Style Content to Proper Fields**
+
+- Create a working copy with sections:
+ - ROLE (capabilities/skills)
+ - IDENTITY (background/context)
+ - PURE STYLE (verbal patterns only)
+ - PRINCIPLES (beliefs/behaviors)
+
+- Move identified content to proper sections:
+ ```yaml
+ # ROLE: "Strategic analyst"
+ # IDENTITY: "Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches"
+ # PURE STYLE: [need to discover - interview user about HOW they talk]
+ # PRINCIPLES:
+ # - "Ensure all stakeholder voices heard"
+ # - "Use systematic, structured approaches"
+ ```
+
+**Step 3: Discover the TRUE Communication Style**
+Since style was buried under behaviors, interview the user:
+
+- "How should this agent SOUND when talking?"
+- "What verbal quirks or patterns make them distinctive?"
+- "Are they formal? Casual? Energetic? Measured?"
+- "Any metaphors or imagery that capture their voice?"
+
+Then explore {communication_presets} together:
+
+- Show relevant categories (Professional, Creative, Analytical, etc.)
+- Read examples of pure styles
+- Discuss which resonates with agent's essence
+
+**Step 4: Craft Pure Communication Style**
+Write 1-2 sentences focused ONLY on verbal patterns:
+
+Good examples from reference agents:
+
+- "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue, thrilled when patterns emerge" (Mary/analyst)
+- "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs - every statement citable" (Amelia/dev)
+- "Asks 'WHY?' relentlessly like a detective on a case" (John/pm)
+- "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase" (commit-poet)
+
+Bad example (what we're fixing):
+
+- "Experienced who ensures quality and uses best practices" โ ALL behaviors, NO style!
+
+**Step 5: Show Before/After With Full Context**
+Present the complete transformation:
+
+```yaml
+# BEFORE
+persona:
+ role: "Analyst"
+ communication_style: "Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches and ensures all stakeholders are heard"
+
+# AFTER

+ principles:
+ - "Ensure all stakeholder voices heard"
+ - "Use systematic, structured approaches to analysis"
+ - "Ground findings in evidence, not assumptions"
+```

+**Step 6: Validate Against Standards**
+
+- Communication style has ZERO red flag words
+- Communication style describes HOW they talk, not WHAT they do
+- Compare against {communication_presets} - similarly pure?
+- Compare against reference agents - similar quality?
+- Read it aloud - does it sound like a voice description?

-# ReDoc - Reverse-Tree Documentation Engine
-
-**Type:** Autonomous Action Workflow
-**Module:** BMad Builder (bmb)
-
-## Purpose
-
-ReDoc is an intelligent documentation maintenance system for BMAD modules, workflows, and agents. It uses a reverse-tree approach (leaf folders first, then parent folders) to systematically generate and update README.md files with technical writer quality output.
-
-The workflow understands BMAD conventions deeply and focuses documentation on distinctive features rather than explaining standard patterns, resulting in succinct, precise technical documentation.
-
-## Key Features
-
-- **Reverse-Tree Processing**: Documents from deepest folders up to module root, allowing child documentation to inform parent summaries
-- **Convention-Aware**: Loads BMAD architecture patterns and only documents unique/distinctive aspects
-- **Scalability**: Automatically creates catalog documents (WORKFLOWS-CATALOG.md, AGENTS-CATALOG.md) for massive folders (>10 items)
-- **Diff-Aware**: Tracks `last-redoc-date` frontmatter to enable change detection since last run
-- **Autonomous**: Runs without user checkpoints unless clarification is genuinely required
-- **Comprehensive**: Reads ALL files completely before generating documentation (no partial reads)
-
-## Usage
-
-Invoke with a target path:
-
-```
-workflow redoc
-```
-
-When prompted, provide one of:
-
-- **Module path**: `{bmad_folder}/bmm` (documents entire module: root, workflows, agents)
-- **Workflows folder**: `{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows` (documents all workflows)
-- **Agents folder**: `{bmad_folder}/bmm/agents` (documents all agents)
-- **Single workflow**: `{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/product-brief` (documents one workflow)
-- **Single agent**: `{bmad_folder}/bmm/agents/prd-agent.md` (documents one agent)
-
-## Inputs
-
-### Required
-
-- **target_path**: Path to module, folder, or specific component to document
-
-### Knowledge Base (Auto-loaded)
-
-- agent-architecture.md
-- agent-command-patterns.md
-- agent-types.md
-- module-structure.md
-- workflow-creation-guide.md
-
-## Outputs
-
-### Created/Updated Files
-
-- **README.md**: At each documented level (workflow folders, agent folders, module root)
-- **Catalog files**: WORKFLOWS-CATALOG.md, AGENTS-CATALOG.md (for massive folders)
-- **Frontmatter**: All READMEs include `last-redoc-date: `
-
-### Summary Report
-
-- Documentation coverage statistics
-- List of files created/updated
-- Any items requiring manual review
-
-## Workflow Steps
-
-1. **Initialize**: Load BMAD conventions and validate target
-2. **Analyze Structure**: Build reverse-tree execution plan
-3. **Process Leaves**: Document individual workflows/agents (deepest first)
-4. **Process Folders**: Document workflow/agent collections with categorization
-5. **Process Root**: Document module overview with links and highlights
-6. **Validate**: Verify completeness and generate report
-7. **Diff Analysis** (optional): Show changes since last redoc
-8. **Complete**: Report success and suggest next steps
-
-## Technical Details
-
-- **Execution**: Autonomous with minimal user interaction
-- **Quality**: Technical writer standards - succinct, precise, professional
-- **Context-Aware**: Uses BMAD convention knowledge to highlight only distinctive features
-- **Scalable**: Handles folders of any size with intelligent catalog creation
-
-## Next Steps After Running
-
-1. Review generated documentation for accuracy
-2. If documenting a subfolder, run redoc on parent module to update references
-3. Commit documentation updates with meaningful message

-# ReDoc Workflow Instructions
-
-The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml
-You MUST have already loaded and processed: {project-root}/src/modules/bmb/workflows/redoc/workflow.yaml
-Communicate in {communication_language} throughout the documentation process
-This is an AUTONOMOUS workflow - minimize user interaction unless clarification is absolutely required
-IMPORTANT: Process ONE document at a time to avoid token limits. Each README should be created individually, not batched.
-When using Task tool with sub-agents: Only request ONE workflow or agent documentation per invocation to prevent token overflow.
-
-
-
-
-Load ALL BMAD convention documents from {bmad_conventions}:
-- agent_architecture.md - Understand agent XML structure and patterns
-- agent_command_patterns.md - Command syntax and activation patterns
-- agent_types.md - Standard agent categories and purposes
-- module_structure.md - Module organization and folder conventions
-- workflow_guide.md - Workflow structure and best practices
-
-
-Internalize these conventions so you can:
-
-- Recognize standard patterns vs unique implementations
-- Describe only what's distinctive about each component
-- Use proper terminology consistently
-- Write with technical precision
-
-
-Get target path from user:
-
-- Ask: "What do you want to document? (module path, workflow path, agent path, or folder path)"
-- Store as {{target_path}}
-
-
-Validate target path exists and determine target type:
-
-- Module root (contains config.yaml, /workflows, /agents folders)
-- Workflows folder (contains multiple workflow folders)
-- Agents folder (contains multiple agent .md files)
-- Single workflow folder (contains workflow.yaml)
-- Single agent file (.md)
-
-
-Store target type as {{target_type}} for conditional processing
-
-
-
-Build complete tree structure of {{target_path}} using Glob and file system tools
-
-Identify all documentation points:
-
-- List all folders requiring README.md files
-- Detect existing README.md files
-- Parse frontmatter from existing READMEs to extract last-redoc-date
-- Calculate documentation depth (how many levels deep)
-
-
-Create documentation map with execution order (deepest โ shallowest):
-
-- Level 0 (deepest): Individual workflow folders, individual agent files
-- Level 1: /workflows folder, /agents folder
-- Level 2 (root): Module root README.md
-
-
-Detect "massive folders" requiring child catalog documents:
-
-- Threshold: >10 items or complex categorization needed
-- Mark folders for catalog document creation (e.g., WORKFLOWS-CATALOG.md, AGENTS-CATALOG.md)
-
-
-Store execution order as {{doc_execution_plan}} - this ensures reverse-tree processing
-
-
-
-TOKEN LIMIT WARNING: Process ONE item at a time to prevent token overflow issues.
-If using Task tool with sub-agents: NEVER batch multiple workflows/agents in a single invocation.
-Each README creation should be a separate operation with its own file save.
-Sequential processing is MANDATORY - do not attempt parallel documentation generation.
-For each individual workflow folder in execution plan (PROCESS ONE AT A TIME):
-1. Read ALL files completely:
- - workflow.yaml (metadata, purpose, configuration)
- - instructions.md (step structure, goals)
- - template.md (output structure) if exists
- - checklist.md (validation criteria) if exists
- - Any supporting data files
-
-2. Synthesize understanding:
- - Core purpose and use case
- - Input requirements
- - Output produced
- - Unique characteristics (vs standard BMAD workflow patterns)
- - Key steps or special features
-
-3. Generate/update README.md:
- - Add frontmatter: `---\nlast-redoc-date: {{date}}\n---\n`
- - Write 2-4 paragraph technical description
- - Include "Usage" section with invocation command
- - Include "Inputs" section if applicable
- - Include "Outputs" section
- - Be succinct and precise - technical writer quality
- - Focus on DISTINCTIVE features, not boilerplate
-
-4. Save README.md to workflow folder
-
-If multiple workflows need documentation, process them SEQUENTIALLY not in parallel. Each workflow gets its own complete processing cycle.
-
-
-For each individual agent file in execution plan (PROCESS ONE AT A TIME):
-
-1. Read agent definition file completely:
- - XML structure and metadata
- - Commands and their purposes
- - Activation patterns
- - Persona and communication style
- - Critical actions and workflows invoked
-
-2. Synthesize understanding:
- - Agent purpose and role
- - Available commands
- - When to use this agent
- - Unique capabilities
-
-3. Generate/update README.md (or agent-name-README.md if in shared folder):
- - Add frontmatter: `---\nlast-redoc-date: {{date}}\n---\n`
- - Write 1-3 paragraph technical description
- - Include "Commands" section listing available commands
- - Include "Usage" section
- - Focus on distinctive features
-
-4. Save README.md
-
-
-Ask user briefly, then continue
-
-
-
-For /workflows folder:
-1. Read ALL workflow README.md files created in Step 3
-2. Categorize workflows by purpose/type if folder is massive (>10 workflows):
- - Document generation workflows
- - Action workflows
- - Meta-workflows
- - Interactive workflows
-
-3. If massive folder detected:
- - Create WORKFLOWS-CATALOG.md with categorized listings
- - Each entry: workflow name, 1-sentence description, link to folder
- - Add frontmatter with last-redoc-date
-
-4. Generate/update /workflows/README.md:
- - Add frontmatter: `---\nlast-redoc-date: {{date}}\n---\n`
- - High-level summary of workflow collection
- - If catalog exists: reference it
- - If not massive: list all workflows with brief descriptions and links
- - Highlight notable or commonly-used workflows
- - Keep succinct (1-2 paragraphs + list)
-
-5. Save README.md
-
-
-For /agents folder:
-
-1. Read ALL agent README.md files
-2. Categorize agents by type if massive folder (>10 agents):
- - Task agents
- - Meta agents
- - Specialized agents
- - Utility agents
-
-3. If massive folder detected:
- - Create AGENTS-CATALOG.md with categorized listings
- - Each entry: agent name, 1-sentence description, link

+ headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer token' },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(200);
+ expect(body.name).toBe('John Doe'); // TypeScript knows body is User
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Generic type `` provides TypeScript autocomplete for `body`
+- Status and body destructured from response
+- Headers passed as object
+- Automatic retry for 5xx errors (configurable)
+
+### Example 2: Schema Validation (Single Line)
+
+**Context**: Validate API responses match expected schema with single-line syntax.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+
+test('should validate response schema', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ // JSON Schema validation
+ const response = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/users/123',
+ validateSchema: {
+ type: 'object',
+ required: ['id', 'name', 'email'],
+ properties: {
+ id: { type: 'string' },
+ name: { type: 'string' },
+ email: { type: 'string', format: 'email' },
+ },
+ },
+ });
+ // Throws if schema validation fails
+
+ // Zod schema validation
+ import { z } from 'zod';
+
+ const UserSchema = z.object({
+ id: z.string(),
+ name: z.string(),
+ email: z.string().email(),
+ });
+
+ const response = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/users/123',
+ validateSchema: UserSchema,
+ });
+ // Response body is type-safe AND validated
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Single `validateSchema` parameter
+- Supports JSON Schema, Zod, YAML files, OpenAPI specs
+- Throws on validation failure with detailed errors
+- Zero boilerplate validation code
+
+### Example 3: POST with Body and Retry Configuration
+
+**Context**: Creating resources with custom retry behavior for error testing.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('should create user', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const newUser = {
+ name: 'Jane Doe',
+ email: 'jane@example.com',
+ };
+
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/users',
+ body: newUser, // Automatically sent as JSON
+ headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer token' },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(201);
+ expect(body.id).toBeDefined();
+});
+
+// Disable retry for error testing
+test('should handle 500 errors', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ await expect(
+ apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/error',
+ retryConfig: { maxRetries: 0 }, // Disable retry
+ }),
+ ).rejects.toThrow('Request failed with status 500');
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `body` parameter auto-serializes to JSON
+- Default retry: 5xx errors, 3 retries, exponential backoff
+- Disable retry with `retryConfig: { maxRetries: 0 }`
+- Only 5xx errors retry (4xx errors fail immediately)
+
+### Example 4: URL Resolution Strategy
+
+**Context**: Flexible URL handling for different environments and test contexts.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// Strategy 1: Explicit baseUrl (highest priority)
+await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/users',
+ baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com', // Uses https://api.example.com/users
+});
+
+// Strategy 2: Config baseURL (from fixture)
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+
+test.use({ configBaseUrl: 'https://staging-api.example.com' });
+
+test('uses config baseURL', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/users', // Uses https://staging-api.example.com/users
+ });
+});
+
+// Strategy 3: Playwright baseURL (from playwright.config.ts)
+// playwright.config.ts
+export default defineConfig({
+ use: {
+ baseURL: 'https://api.example.com',
+ },
+});
+
+test('uses Playwright baseURL', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/users', // Uses https://api.example.com/users
+ });
+});
+
+// Strategy 4: Direct path (full URL)
+await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: 'https://api.example.com/users', // Full URL works too
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Four-tier resolution: explicit > config > Playwright > direct
+- Trailing slashes normalized automatically
+- Environment-specific baseUrl easy to configure
+
+### Example 5: Integration with Recurse (Polling)
+
+**Context**: Waiting for async operations to complete (background jobs, eventual consistency).
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test('should poll until job completes', async ({ apiRequest, recurse }) => {
+ // Create job
+ const { body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/jobs',
+ body: { type: 'export' },
+ });
+
+ const jobId = body.id;
+
+ // Poll until ready
+ const completedJob = await recurse(
+ () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: `/api/jobs/${jobId}` }),
+ (response) => response.body.status === 'completed',
+ { timeout: 60000, interval: 2000 },
+ );
+
+ expect(completedJob.body.result).toBeDefined();
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `apiRequest` returns full response object
+- `recurse` polls until predicate returns true
+- Composable utilities work together seamlessly
+
+## Comparison with Vanilla Playwright
+
+| Vanilla Playwright | playwright-utils apiRequest |
+| ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `const resp = await request.get('/api/users')` | `const { status, body } = await apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/api/users' })` |
+| `const body = await resp.json()` | Response already parsed |
+| `expect(resp.ok()).toBeTruthy()` | Status code directly accessible |
+| No retry logic | Auto-retry 5xx errors with backoff |
+| No schema validation | Built-in multi-format validation |
+| Manual error handling | Descriptive error messages |
+
+## When to Use
+
+**Use apiRequest for:**
+
+- โ
API endpoint testing
+- โ
Background API calls in UI tests
+- โ
Schema validation needs
+- โ
Tests requiring retry logic
+- โ
Typed API responses
+
+**Stick with vanilla Playwright for:**
+
+- Simple one-off requests where utility overhead isn't worth it
+- Testing Playwright's native features specifically
+- Legacy tests where migration isn't justified
+
+## Related Fragments
+
+- `overview.md` - Installation and design principles
+- `auth-session.md` - Authentication token management
+- `recurse.md` - Polling for async operations
+- `fixtures-composition.md` - Combining utilities with mergeTests
+- `log.md` - Logging API requests
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+**โ Ignoring retry failures:**
+
+```typescript
+try {
+ await apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/api/unstable' });
+} catch {
+ // Silent failure - loses retry information
+}
+```
+
+**โ
Let retries happen, handle final failure:**
+
+```typescript
+await expect(apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/api/unstable' })).rejects.toThrow(); // Retries happen automatically, then final error caught
+```
+
+**โ Disabling TypeScript benefits:**
+
+```typescript
+const response: any = await apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/users' });
+```
+
+**โ
Use generic types:**
+
+```typescript
+const { body } = await apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/users' });
+// body is typed as User[]
+```

+# Auth Session Utility
+
+## Principle
+
+Persist authentication tokens to disk and reuse across test runs. Support multiple user identifiers, ephemeral authentication, and worker-specific accounts for parallel execution. Fetch tokens once, use everywhere.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Playwright's built-in authentication works but has limitations:
+
+- Re-authenticates for every test run (slow)
+- Single user per project setup
+- No token expiration handling
+- Manual session management
+- Complex setup for multi-user scenarios
+
+The `auth-session` utility provides:
+
+- **Token persistence**: Authenticate once, reuse across runs
+- **Multi-user support**: Different user identifiers in same test suite
+- **Ephemeral auth**: On-the-fly user authentication without disk persistence
+- **Worker-specific accounts**: Parallel execution with isolated user accounts
+- **Automatic token management**: Checks validity, renews if expired
+- **Flexible provider pattern**: Adapt to any auth system (OAuth2, JWT, custom)
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Auth Session Setup
+
+**Context**: Configure global authentication that persists across test runs.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// Step 1: Configure in global-setup.ts
+import { authStorageInit, setAuthProvider, configureAuthSession, authGlobalInit } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session';
+import myCustomProvider from './auth/custom-auth-provider';
+
+async function globalSetup() {
+ // Ensure storage directories exist
+ authStorageInit();
+
+ // Configure storage path
+ configureAuthSession({
+ authStoragePath: process.cwd() + '/playwright/auth-sessions',
+ debug: true,
+ });
+
+ // Set custom provider (HOW to authenticate)
+ setAuthProvider(myCustomProvider);
+
+ // Optional: pre-fetch token for default user
+ await authGlobalInit();
+}
+
+export default globalSetup;
+
+// Step 2: Create auth fixture
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+import { createAuthFixtures, setAuthProvider } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session';
+import myCustomProvider from './custom-auth-provider';
+
+// Register provider early
+setAuthProvider(myCustomProvider);
+
+export const test = base.extend(createAuthFixtures());
+
+// Step 3: Use in tests
+test('authenticated request', async ({ authToken, request }) => {
+ const response = await request.get('/api/protected', {
+ headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}` },
+ });
+
+ expect(response.ok()).toBeTruthy();
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Global setup runs once before all tests
+- Token fetched once, reused across all tests
+- Custom provider defines your auth mechanism
+- Order matters: configure, then setProvider, then init
+
+### Example 2: Multi-User Authentication
+
+**Context**: Testing with different user roles (admin, regular user, guest) in same test suite.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '../support/auth/auth-fixture';
+
+// Option 1: Per-test user override
+test('admin actions', async ({ authToken, authOptions }) => {
+ // Override default user
+ authOptions.userIdentifier = 'admin';
+
+ const { authToken: adminToken } = await test.step('Get admin token', async () => {
+ return { authToken }; // Re-fetches with new identifier
+ });
+
+ // Use admin token
+ const response = await request.get('/api/admin/users', {
+ headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${adminToken}` },
+ });
+});
+
+// Option 2: Parallel execution with different users
+test.describe.parallel('multi-user tests', () => {
+ test('user 1 actions', async ({ authToken }) => {
+ // Uses default user (e.g., 'user1')
+ });
+
+ test('user 2 actions', async ({ authToken, authOptions }) => {
+ authOptions.userIdentifier = 'user2';
+ // Uses different token for user2
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Override `authOptions.userIdentifier` per test
+- Tokens cached separately per user identifier
+- Parallel tests isolated with different users
+- Worker-specific accounts possible
+
+### Example 3: Ephemeral User Authentication
+
+**Context**: Create temporary test users that don't persist to disk (e.g., testing user creation flow).
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { applyUserCookiesToBrowserContext } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session';
+import { createTestUser } from '../utils/user-factory';
+
+test('ephemeral user test', async ({ context, page }) => {
+ // Create temporary user (not persisted)
+ const ephemeralUser = await createTestUser({
+ role: 'admin',
+ permissions: ['delete-users'],
+ });
+
+ // Apply auth directly to browser context
+ await applyUserCookiesToBrowserContext(context, ephemeralUser);
+
+ // Page now authenticated as ephemeral user
+ await page.goto('/admin/users');
+
+ await expect(page.getByTestId('delete-user-btn')).toBeVisible();
+
+ // User and token cleaned up after test
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- No disk persistence (ephemeral)
+- Apply cookies directly to context
+- Useful for testing user lifecycle
+- Clean up automatic when test ends
+
+### Example 4: Testing Multiple Users in Single Test
+
+**Context**: Testing interactions between users (messaging, sharing, collaboration features).
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('user interaction', async ({ browser }) => {
+ // User 1 context
+ const user1Context = await browser.newContext({
+ storageState: './auth-sessions/local/user1/storage-state.json',
+ });
+ const user1Page = await user1Context.newPage();
+
+ // User 2 context
+ const user2Context = await browser.newContext({
+ storageState: './auth-sessions/local/user2/storage-state.json',
+ });
+ const user2Page = await user2Context.newPage();
+
+ // User 1 sends message
+ await user1Page.goto('/messages');
+ await user1Page.fill('#message', 'Hello from user 1');
+ await user1Page.click('#send');
+
+ // User 2 receives message
+ await user2Page.goto('/messages');
+ await expect(user2Page.getByText('Hello from user 1')).toBeVisible();
+
+ // Cleanup
+ await user1Context.close();
+ await user2Context.close();
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Each user has separate browser context
+- Reference storage state files directly
+- Test real-time interactions
+- Clean up contexts after test
+
+### Example 5: Worker-Specific Accounts (Parallel Testing)
+
+**Context**: Running tests in parallel with isolated user accounts per worker to avoid conflicts.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright.config.ts
+export default defineConfig({
+ workers: 4, // 4 parallel workers
+ use: {
+ // Each worker uses different user
+ storageState: async ({}, use, testInfo) => {
+ const workerIndex = testInfo.workerIndex;
+ const userIdentifier = `worker-${workerIndex}`;
+
+ await use(`./auth-sessions/local/${userIdentifier}/storage-state.json`);
+ },
+ },
+});
+
+// Tests run in parallel, each worker with its own user
+test('parallel test 1', async ({ page }) => {
+ // Worker 0 uses worker-0 account
+ await page.goto('/dashboard');
+});
+
+test('parallel test 2', async ({ page }) => {
+ // Worker 1 uses worker-1 account
+ await page.goto('/dashboard');
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Each worker has isolated user account
+- No conflicts in parallel execution
+- Token management automatic per worker
+- Scales to any number of workers
+
+## Custom Auth Provider Pattern
+
+**Context**: Adapt auth-session to your authentication system (OAuth2, JWT, SAML, custom).
+
+**Minimal provider structure**:
+
+```typescript
+import { type AuthProvider } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session';
+
+const myCustomProvider: AuthProvider = {
+ getEnvironment: (options) => options.environment || 'local',
+
+ getUserIdentifier: (options) => options.userIdentifier || 'default-user',
+
+ extractToken: (storageState) => {
+ // Extract token from your storage format
+ return storageState.cookies.find((c) => c.name === 'auth_token')?.value;
+ },
+
+ extractCookies: (tokenData) => {
+ // Convert token to cookies for browser context
+ return [
+ {
+ name: 'auth_token',
+ value: tokenData,
+ domain: 'example.com',
+ path: '/',
+ httpOnly: true,
+ secure: true,
+ },
+ ];
+ },
+
+ isTokenExpired: (storageState) => {
+ // Check if token is expired
+ const expiresAt = storageState.cookies.find((c) => c.name === 'expires_at');
+ return Date.now() > parseInt(expiresAt?.value || '0');
+ },
+
+ manageAuthToken: async (request, options) => {
+ // Main token acquisition logic
+ // Return storage state with cookies/localStorage
+ },
+};
+
+export default myCustomProvider;
+```
+
+## Integration with API Request
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test('authenticated API call', async ({ apiRequest, authToken }) => {
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/protected',
+ headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}` },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(200);
+});
+```
+
+## Related Fragments
+
+- `overview.md` - Installation and fixture composition
+- `api-request.md` - Authenticated API requests
+- `fixtures-composition.md` - Merging auth with other utilities
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+**โ Calling setAuthProvider after globalSetup:**
+
+```typescript
+async function globalSetup() {
+ configureAuthSession(...)
+ await authGlobalInit() // Provider not set yet!
+ setAuthProvider(provider) // Too late
+}
+```
+
+**โ
Register provider before init:**
+
+```typescript
+async function globalSetup() {
+ authStorageInit()
+ configureAuthSession(...)
+ setAuthProvider(provider) // First
+ await authGlobalInit() // Then init
+}
+```
+
+**โ Hardcoding storage paths:**
+
+```typescript
+const storageState = './auth-sessions/local/user1/storage-state.json'; // Brittle
+```
+
+**โ
Use helper functions:**
+
+```typescript
+import { getTokenFilePath } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session';
+
+const tokenPath = getTokenFilePath({
+ environment: 'local',
+ userIdentifier: 'user1',
+ tokenFileName: 'storage-state.json',
+});
+```

+# Burn-in Test Runner
+
+## Principle
+
+Use smart test selection with git diff analysis to run only affected tests. Filter out irrelevant changes (configs, types, docs) and control test volume with percentage-based execution. Reduce unnecessary CI runs while maintaining reliability.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Playwright's `--only-changed` triggers all affected tests:
+
+- Config file changes trigger hundreds of tests
+- Type definition changes cause full suite runs
+- No volume control (all or nothing)
+- Slow CI pipelines
+
+The `burn-in` utility provides:
+
+- **Smart filtering**: Skip patterns for irrelevant files (configs, types, docs)
+- **Volume control**: Run percentage of affected tests after filtering
+- **Custom dependency analysis**: More accurate than Playwright's built-in
+- **CI optimization**: Faster pipelines without sacrificing confidence
+- **Process of elimination**: Start with all โ filter irrelevant โ control volume
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Burn-in Setup
+
+**Context**: Run burn-in on changed files compared to main branch.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// Step 1: Create burn-in script
+// playwright/scripts/burn-in-changed.ts
+import { runBurnIn } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/burn-in'
+
+async function main() {
+ await runBurnIn({
+ configPath: 'playwright/config/.burn-in.config.ts',
+ baseBranch: 'main'
+ })
+}
+
+main().catch(console.error)
+
+// Step 2: Create config
+// playwright/config/.burn-in.config.ts
+import type { BurnInConfig } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/burn-in'
+
+const config: BurnInConfig = {
+ // Files that never trigger tests (first filter)
+ skipBurnInPatterns: [
+ '**/config/**',
+ '**/*constants*',
+ '**/*types*',
+ '**/*.md',
+ '**/README*'
+ ],
+
+ // Run 30% of remaining tests after skip filter
+ burnInTestPercentage: 0.3,
+
+ // Burn-in repetition
+ burnIn: {
+ repeatEach: 3, // Run each test 3 times
+ retries: 1 // Allow 1 retry
+ }
+}
+
+export default config
+
+// Step 3: Add package.json script
+{
+ "scripts": {
+ "test:pw:burn-in-changed": "tsx playwright/scripts/burn-in-changed.ts"
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Two-stage filtering: skip patterns, then volume control
+- `skipBurnInPatterns` eliminates irrelevant files
+- `burnInTestPercentage` controls test volume (0.3 = 30%)
+- Custom dependency analysis finds actually affected tests
+
+### Example 2: CI Integration
+
+**Context**: Use burn-in in GitHub Actions for efficient CI runs.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/burn-in.yml
+name: Burn-in Changed Tests
+
+on:
+ pull_request:
+ branches: [main]
+
+jobs:
+ burn-in:
+ runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+ steps:
+ - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+ with:
+ fetch-depth: 0 # Need git history
+
+ - name: Setup Node
+ uses: actions/setup-node@v4
+
+ - name: Install dependencies
+ run: npm ci
+
+ - name: Run burn-in on changed tests
+ run: npm run test:pw:burn-in-changed -- --base-branch=origin/main
+
+ - name: Upload artifacts
+ if: failure()
+ uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
+ with:
+ name: burn-in-failures
+ path: test-results/
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `fetch-depth: 0` for full git history
+- Pass `--base-branch=origin/main` for PR comparison
+- Upload artifacts only on failure
+- Significantly faster than full suite
+
+### Example 3: How It Works (Process of Elimination)
+
+**Context**: Understanding the filtering pipeline.
+
+**Scenario:**
+
+```
+Git diff finds: 21 changed files
+โโ Step 1: Skip patterns filter
+โ Removed: 6 files (*.md, config/*, *types*)
+โ Remaining: 15 files
+โ
+โโ Step 2: Dependency analysis
+โ Tests that import these 15 files: 45 tests
+โ
+โโ Step 3: Volume control (30%)
+ Final tests to run: 14 tests (30% of 45)
+
+Result: Run 14 targeted tests instead of 147 with --only-changed!
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Three-stage pipeline: skip โ analyze โ control
+- Custom dependency analysis (not just imports)
+- Percentage applies AFTER filtering
+- Dramatically reduces CI time
+
+### Example 4: Environment-Specific Configuration
+
+**Context**: Different settings for local vs CI environments.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import type { BurnInConfig } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/burn-in';
+
+const config: BurnInConfig = {
+ skipBurnInPatterns: ['**/config/**', '**/*types*', '**/*.md'],
+
+ // CI runs fewer iterations, local runs more
+ burnInTestPercentage: process.env.CI ? 0.2 : 0.3,
+
+ burnIn: {
+ repeatEach: process.env.CI ? 2 : 3,
+ retries: process.env.CI ? 0 : 1, // No retries in CI
+ },
+};
+
+export default config;
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `process.env.CI` for environment detection
+- Lower percentage in CI (20% vs 30%)
+- Fewer iterations in CI (2 vs 3)
+- No retries in CI (fail fast)
+
+### Example 5: Sharding Support
+
+**Context**: Distribute burn-in tests across multiple CI workers.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// burn-in-changed.ts with sharding
+import { runBurnIn } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/burn-in';
+
+async function main() {
+ const shardArg = process.argv.find((arg) => arg.startsWith('--shard='));
+
+ if (shardArg) {
+ process.env.PW_SHARD = shardArg.split('=')[1];
+ }
+
+ await runBurnIn({
+ configPath: 'playwright/config/.burn-in.config.ts',
+ });
+}
+```
+
+```yaml
+# GitHub Actions with sharding
+jobs:
+ burn-in:
+ strategy:
+ matrix:
+ shard: [1/3, 2/3, 3/3]
+ steps:
+ - run: npm run test:pw:burn-in-changed -- --shard=${{ matrix.shard }}
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Pass `--shard=1/3` for parallel execution
+- Burn-in respects Playwright sharding
+- Distribute across multiple workers
+- Reduces total CI time further
+
+## Integration with CI Workflow
+
+When setting up CI with `*ci` workflow, recommend burn-in for:
+
+- Pull request validation
+- Pre-merge checks
+- Nightly builds (subset runs)
+
+## Related Fragments
+
+- `ci-burn-in.md` - Traditional burn-in patterns (10-iteration loops)
+- `selective-testing.md` - Test selection strategies
+- `overview.md` - Installation
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+**โ Over-aggressive skip patterns:**
+
+```typescript
+skipBurnInPatterns: [
+ '**/*', // Skips everything!
+];
+```
+
+**โ
Targeted skip patterns:**
+
+```typescript
+skipBurnInPatterns: ['**/config/**', '**/*types*', '**/*.md', '**/*constants*'];
+```
+
+**โ Too low percentage (false confidence):**
+
+```typescript
+burnInTestPercentage: 0.05; // Only 5% - might miss issues
+```
+
+**โ
Balanced percentage:**
+
+```typescript
+burnInTestPercentage: 0.2; // 20% in CI, provides good coverage
+```

+# File Utilities
+
+## Principle
+
+Read and validate files (CSV, XLSX, PDF, ZIP) with automatic parsing, type-safe results, and download handling. Simplify file operations in Playwright tests with built-in format support and validation helpers.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Testing file operations in Playwright requires boilerplate:
+
+- Manual download handling
+- External parsing libraries for each format
+- No validation helpers
+- Type-unsafe results
+- Repetitive path handling
+
+The `file-utils` module provides:
+
+- **Auto-parsing**: CSV, XLSX, PDF, ZIP automatically parsed
+- **Download handling**: Single function for UI or API-triggered downloads
+- **Type-safe**: TypeScript interfaces for parsed results
+- **Validation helpers**: Row count, header checks, content validation
+- **Format support**: Multiple sheet support (XLSX), text extraction (PDF), archive extraction (ZIP)
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: UI-Triggered CSV Download
+
+**Context**: User clicks button, CSV downloads, validate contents.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { handleDownload, readCSV } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/file-utils';
+import path from 'node:path';
+
+const DOWNLOAD_DIR = path.join(__dirname, '../downloads');
+
+test('should download and validate CSV', async ({ page }) => {
+ const downloadPath = await handleDownload({
+ page,
+ downloadDir: DOWNLOAD_DIR,
+ trigger: () => page.click('[data-testid="export-csv"]'),
+ });
+
+ const { content } = await readCSV({ filePath: downloadPath });
+
+ // Validate headers
+ expect(content.headers).toEqual(['ID', 'Name', 'Email', 'Role']);
+
+ // Validate data
+ expect(content.data).toHaveLength(10);
+ expect(content.data[0]).toMatchObject({
+ ID: expect.any(String),
+ Name: expect.any(String),
+ Email: expect.stringMatching(/@/),
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `handleDownload` waits for download, returns file path
+- `readCSV` auto-parses to `{ headers, data }`
+- Type-safe access to parsed content
+- Clean up downloads in `afterEach`
+
+### Example 2: XLSX with Multiple Sheets
+
+**Context**: Excel file with multiple sheets (e.g., Summary, Details, Errors).
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { readXLSX } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/file-utils';
+
+test('should read multi-sheet XLSX', async () => {
+ const downloadPath = await handleDownload({
+ page,
+ downloadDir: DOWNLOAD_DIR,
+ trigger: () => page.click('[data-testid="export-xlsx"]'),
+ });
+
+ const { content } = await readXLSX({ filePath: downloadPath });
+
+ // Access specific sheets
+ const summarySheet = content.sheets.find((s) => s.name === 'Summary');
+ const detailsSheet = content.sheets.find((s) => s.name === 'Details');
+
+ // Validate summary
+ expect(summarySheet.data).toHaveLength(1);
+ expect(summarySheet.data[0].TotalRecords).toBe('150');
+
+ // Validate details
+ expect(detailsSheet.data).toHaveLength(150);
+ expect(detailsSheet.headers).toContain('TransactionID');
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `sheets` array with `name` and `data` properties
+- Access sheets by name
+- Each sheet has its own headers and data
+- Type-safe sheet iteration
+
+### Example 3: PDF Text Extraction
+
+**Context**: Validate PDF report contains expected content.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { readPDF } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/file-utils';
+
+test('should validate PDF report', async () => {
+ const downloadPath = await handleDownload({
+ page,
+ downloadDir: DOWNLOAD_DIR,
+ trigger: () => page.click('[data-testid="download-report"]'),
+ });
+
+ const { content } = await readPDF({ filePath: downloadPath });
+
+ // content.text is extracted text from all pages
+ expect(content.text).toContain('Financial Report Q4 2024');
+ expect(content.text).toContain('Total Revenue:');
+
+ // Validate page count
+ expect(content.numpages).toBeGreaterThan(10);
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `content.text` contains all extracted text
+- `content.numpages` for page count
+- PDF parsing handles multi-page documents
+- Search for specific phrases
+
+### Example 4: ZIP Archive Validation
+
+**Context**: Validate ZIP contains expected files and extract specific file.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { readZIP } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/file-utils';
+
+test('should validate ZIP archive', async () => {
+ const downloadPath = await handleDownload({
+ page,
+ downloadDir: DOWNLOAD_DIR,
+ trigger: () => page.click('[data-testid="download-backup"]'),
+ });
+
+ const { content } = await readZIP({ filePath: downloadPath });
+
+ // Check file list
+ expect(content.files).toContain('data.csv');
+ expect(content.files).toContain('config.json');
+ expect(content.files).toContain('readme.txt');
+
+ // Read specific file from archive
+ const configContent = content.zip.readAsText('config.json');
+ const config = JSON.parse(configContent);
+
+ expect(config.version).toBe('2.0');
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `content.files` lists all files in archive
+- `content.zip.readAsText()` extracts specific files
+- Validate archive structure
+- Read and parse individual files from ZIP
+
+### Example 5: API-Triggered Download
+
+**Context**: API endpoint returns file download (not UI click).
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('should download via API', async ({ page, request }) => {
+ const downloadPath = await handleDownload({
+ page,
+ downloadDir: DOWNLOAD_DIR,
+ trigger: async () => {
+ const response = await request.get('/api/export/csv', {
+ headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer token' },
+ });
+
+ if (!response.ok()) {
+ throw new Error(`Export failed: ${response.status()}`);
+ }
+ },
+ });
+
+ const { content } = await readCSV({ filePath: downloadPath });
+
+ expect(content.data).toHaveLength(100);
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `trigger` can be async API call
+- API must return `Content-Disposition` header
+- Still need `page` for download events
+- Works with authenticated endpoints
+
+## Validation Helpers
+
+```typescript
+// CSV validation
+const { isValid, errors } = await validateCSV({
+ filePath: downloadPath,
+ expectedRowCount: 10,
+ requiredHeaders: ['ID', 'Name', 'Email'],
+});
+
+expect(isValid).toBe(true);
+expect(errors).toHaveLength(0);
+```
+
+## Download Cleanup Pattern
+
+```typescript
+test.afterEach(async () => {
+ // Clean up downloaded files
+ await fs.remove(DOWNLOAD_DIR);
+});
+```
+
+## Related Fragments
+
+- `overview.md` - Installation and imports
+- `api-request.md` - API-triggered downloads
+- `recurse.md` - Poll for file generation completion
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+**โ Not cleaning up downloads:**
+
+```typescript
+test('creates file', async () => {
+ await handleDownload({ ... })
+ // File left in downloads folder
+})
+```
+
+**โ
Clean up after tests:**
+
+```typescript
+test.afterEach(async () => {
+ await fs.remove(DOWNLOAD_DIR);
+});
+```

+# Fixtures Composition with mergeTests
+
+## Principle
+
+Combine multiple Playwright fixtures using `mergeTests` to create a unified test object with all capabilities. Build composable test infrastructure by merging playwright-utils fixtures with custom project fixtures.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Using fixtures from multiple sources requires combining them:
+
+- Importing from multiple fixture files is verbose
+- Name conflicts between fixtures
+- Duplicate fixture definitions
+- No clear single test object
+
+Playwright's `mergeTests` provides:
+
+- **Single test object**: All fixtures in one import
+- **Conflict resolution**: Handles name collisions automatically
+- **Composition pattern**: Mix utilities, custom fixtures, third-party fixtures
+- **Type safety**: Full TypeScript support for merged fixtures
+- **Maintainability**: One place to manage all fixtures
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Fixture Merging
+
+**Context**: Combine multiple playwright-utils fixtures into single test object.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/support/merged-fixtures.ts
+import { mergeTests } from '@playwright/test';
+import { test as apiRequestFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+import { test as authFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session/fixtures';
+import { test as recurseFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/recurse/fixtures';
+
+// Merge all fixtures
+export const test = mergeTests(apiRequestFixture, authFixture, recurseFixture);
+
+export { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+```
+
+```typescript
+// In your tests - import from merged fixtures
+import { test, expect } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+
+test('all utilities available', async ({
+ apiRequest, // From api-request fixture
+ authToken, // From auth fixture
+ recurse, // From recurse fixture
+}) => {
+ // All fixtures available in single test signature
+ const { body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/protected',
+ headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}` },
+ });
+
+ await recurse(
+ () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: `/status/${body.id}` }),
+ (res) => res.body.ready === true,
+ );
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Create one `merged-fixtures.ts` per project
+- Import test object from merged fixtures in all test files
+- All utilities available without multiple imports
+- Type-safe access to all fixtures
+
+### Example 2: Combining with Custom Fixtures
+
+**Context**: Add project-specific fixtures alongside playwright-utils.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/support/custom-fixtures.ts - Your project fixtures
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+import { createUser } from './factories/user-factory';
+import { seedDatabase } from './helpers/db-seeder';
+
+export const test = base.extend({
+ // Custom fixture 1: Auto-seeded user
+ testUser: async ({ request }, use) => {
+ const user = await createUser({ role: 'admin' });
+ await seedDatabase('users', [user]);
+ await use(user);
+ // Cleanup happens automatically
+ },
+
+ // Custom fixture 2: Database helpers
+ db: async ({}, use) => {
+ await use({
+ seed: seedDatabase,
+ clear: () => seedDatabase.truncate(),
+ });
+ },
+});
+
+// playwright/support/merged-fixtures.ts - Combine everything
+import { mergeTests } from '@playwright/test';
+import { test as apiRequestFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+import { test as authFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session/fixtures';
+import { test as customFixtures } from './custom-fixtures';
+
+export const test = mergeTests(
+ apiRequestFixture,
+ authFixture,
+ customFixtures, // Your project fixtures
+);
+
+export { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+```
+
+```typescript
+// In tests - all fixtures available
+import { test, expect } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+
+test('using mixed fixtures', async ({
+ apiRequest, // playwright-utils
+ authToken, // playwright-utils
+ testUser, // custom
+ db, // custom
+}) => {
+ // Use playwright-utils
+ const { body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: `/api/users/${testUser.id}`,
+ headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}` },
+ });
+
+ // Use custom fixture
+ await db.clear();
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Custom fixtures extend `base` test
+- Merge custom with playwright-utils fixtures
+- All available in one test signature
+- Maintainable separation of concerns
+
+### Example 3: Full Utility Suite Integration
+
+**Context**: Production setup with all core playwright-utils and custom fixtures.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/support/merged-fixtures.ts
+import { mergeTests } from '@playwright/test';
+
+// Playwright utils fixtures
+import { test as apiRequestFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+import { test as authFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session/fixtures';
+import { test as interceptFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/intercept-network-call/fixtures';
+import { test as recurseFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/recurse/fixtures';
+import { test as networkRecorderFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/network-recorder/fixtures';
+
+// Custom project fixtures
+import { test as customFixtures } from './custom-fixtures';
+
+// Merge everything
+export const test = mergeTests(apiRequestFixture, authFixture, interceptFixture, recurseFixture, networkRecorderFixture, customFixtures);
+
+export { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+```
+
+```typescript
+// In tests
+import { test, expect } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+
+test('full integration', async ({
+ page,
+ context,
+ apiRequest,
+ authToken,
+ interceptNetworkCall,
+ recurse,
+ networkRecorder,
+ testUser, // custom
+}) => {
+ // All utilities + custom fixtures available
+ await networkRecorder.setup(context);
+
+ const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' });
+
+ await page.goto('/users');
+ const { responseJson } = await usersCall;
+
+ expect(responseJson).toContainEqual(expect.objectContaining({ id: testUser.id }));
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- One merged-fixtures.ts for entire project
+- Combine all playwright-utils you use
+- Add custom project fixtures
+- Single import in all test files
+
+### Example 4: Fixture Override Pattern
+
+**Context**: Override default options for specific test files or describes.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test, expect } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+
+// Override auth options for entire file
+test.use({
+ authOptions: {
+ userIdentifier: 'admin',
+ environment: 'staging',
+ },
+});
+
+test('uses admin on staging', async ({ authToken }) => {
+ // Token is for admin user on staging environment
+});
+
+// Override for specific describe block
+test.describe('manager tests', () => {
+ test.use({
+ authOptions: {
+ userIdentifier: 'manager',
+ },
+ });
+
+ test('manager can access reports', async ({ page }) => {
+ // Uses manager token
+ await page.goto('/reports');
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `test.use()` overrides fixture options
+- Can override at file or describe level
+- Options merge with defaults
+- Type-safe overrides
+
+### Example 5: Avoiding Fixture Conflicts
+
+**Context**: Handle name collisions when merging fixtures with same names.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// If two fixtures have same name, last one wins
+import { test as fixture1 } from './fixture1'; // has 'user' fixture
+import { test as fixture2 } from './fixture2'; // also has 'user' fixture
+
+const test = mergeTests(fixture1, fixture2);
+// fixture2's 'user' overrides fixture1's 'user'
+
+// Better: Rename fixtures before merging
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+import { test as fixture1 } from './fixture1';
+
+const fixture1Renamed = base.extend({
+ user1: fixture1._extend.user, // Rename to avoid conflict
+});
+
+const test = mergeTests(fixture1Renamed, fixture2);
+// Now both 'user1' and 'user' available
+
+// Best: Design fixtures without conflicts
+// - Prefix custom fixtures: 'myAppUser', 'myAppDb'
+// - Playwright-utils uses descriptive names: 'apiRequest', 'authToken'
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Last fixture wins in conflicts
+- Rename fixtures to avoid collisions
+- Design fixtures with unique names
+- Playwright-utils uses descriptive names (no conflicts)
+
+## Recommended Project Structure

+
+## Benefits of Fixture Composition
+
+**Compared to direct imports:**
+
+```typescript
+// โ Without mergeTests (verbose)
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+import { apiRequest } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request';
+import { getAuthToken } from './auth';
+import { createUser } from './factories';
+
+test('verbose', async ({ request }) => {
+ const token = await getAuthToken();
+ const user = await createUser();
+ const response = await apiRequest({ request, method: 'GET', path: '/api/users' });
+ // Manual wiring everywhere
+});
+
+// โ
With mergeTests (clean)
+import { test } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+
+test('clean', async ({ apiRequest, authToken, testUser }) => {
+ const { body } = await apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/api/users' });
+ // All fixtures auto-wired
+});
+```
+
+**Reduction:** ~10 lines per test โ ~2 lines

+
+**โ Importing test from multiple fixture files:**
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+// Also need auth...
+import { test as authTest } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session/fixtures';
+// Name conflict! Which test to use?
+```
+
+**โ
Use merged fixtures:**
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+// All utilities available, no conflicts
+```
+
+**โ Merging too many fixtures (kitchen sink):**
+
+```typescript
+// Merging 20+ fixtures makes test signature huge
+const test = mergeTests(...20 different fixtures)
+
+test('my test', async ({ fixture1, fixture2, ..., fixture20 }) => {
+ // Cognitive overload
+})
+```
+
+**โ
Merge only what you actually use:**
+
+```typescript
+// Merge the 4-6 fixtures your project actually needs
+const test = mergeTests(apiRequestFixture, authFixture, recurseFixture, customFixtures);
+```

+# Intercept Network Call Utility
+
+## Principle
+
+Intercept network requests with a single declarative call that returns a Promise. Automatically parse JSON responses, support both spy (observe) and stub (mock) patterns, and use powerful glob pattern matching for URL filtering.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Vanilla Playwright's network interception requires multiple steps:
+
+- `page.route()` to setup, `page.waitForResponse()` to capture
+- Manual JSON parsing
+- Verbose syntax for conditional handling
+- Complex filter predicates
+
+The `interceptNetworkCall` utility provides:
+
+- **Single declarative call**: Setup and wait in one statement
+- **Automatic JSON parsing**: Response pre-parsed, strongly typed
+- **Flexible URL patterns**: Glob matching with picomatch
+- **Spy or stub modes**: Observe real traffic or mock responses
+- **Concise API**: Reduces boilerplate by 60-70%
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: Spy on Network (Observe Real Traffic)
+
+**Context**: Capture and inspect real API responses for validation.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/intercept-network-call/fixtures';
+
+test('should spy on users API', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+ // Setup interception BEFORE navigation
+ const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+ url: '**/api/users', // Glob pattern
+ });
+
+ await page.goto('/dashboard');
+
+ // Wait for response and access parsed data
+ const { responseJson, status } = await usersCall;
+
+ expect(status).toBe(200);
+ expect(responseJson).toHaveLength(10);
+ expect(responseJson[0]).toHaveProperty('name');
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Intercept before navigation (critical for race-free tests)
+- Returns Promise with `{ responseJson, status, requestBody }`
+- Glob patterns (`**` matches any path segment)
+- JSON automatically parsed
+
+### Example 2: Stub Network (Mock Response)
+
+**Context**: Mock API responses for testing UI behavior without backend.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('should stub users API', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+ const mockUsers = [
+ { id: 1, name: 'Test User 1' },
+ { id: 2, name: 'Test User 2' },
+ ];
+
+ const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+ url: '**/api/users',
+ fulfillResponse: {
+ status: 200,
+ body: mockUsers,
+ },
+ });
+
+ await page.goto('/dashboard');
+ await usersCall;
+
+ // UI shows mocked data
+ await expect(page.getByText('Test User 1')).toBeVisible();
+ await expect(page.getByText('Test User 2')).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `fulfillResponse` mocks the API
+- No backend needed
+- Test UI logic in isolation
+- Status code and body fully controllable
+
+### Example 3: Conditional Response Handling
+
+**Context**: Different responses based on request method or parameters.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('conditional mocking', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+ await interceptNetworkCall({
+ url: '**/api/data',
+ handler: async (route, request) => {
+ if (request.method() === 'POST') {
+ // Mock POST success
+ await route.fulfill({
+ status: 201,
+ body: JSON.stringify({ id: 'new-id', success: true }),
+ });
+ } else if (request.method() === 'GET') {
+ // Mock GET with data
+ await route.fulfill({
+ status: 200,
+ body: JSON.stringify([{ id: 1, name: 'Item' }]),
+ });
+ } else {
+ // Let other methods through
+ await route.continue();
+ }
+ },
+ });
+
+ await page.goto('/data-page');
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `handler` function for complex logic
+- Access full `route` and `request` objects
+- Can mock, continue, or abort
+- Flexible for advanced scenarios
+
+### Example 4: Error Simulation
+
+**Context**: Testing error handling in UI when API fails.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('should handle API errors gracefully', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+ // Simulate 500 error
+ const errorCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+ url: '**/api/users',
+ fulfillResponse: {
+ status: 500,
+ body: { error: 'Internal Server Error' },
+ },
+ });
+
+ await page.goto('/dashboard');
+ await errorCall;
+
+ // Verify UI shows error state
+ await expect(page.getByText('Failed to load users')).toBeVisible();
+ await expect(page.getByTestId('retry-button')).toBeVisible();
+});
+
+// Simulate network timeout
+test('should handle timeout', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+ await interceptNetworkCall({
+ url: '**/api/slow',
+ handler: async (route) => {
+ // Never respond - simulates timeout
+ await new Promise(() => {});
+ },
+ });
+
+ await page.goto('/slow-page');
+
+ // UI should show timeout error
+ await expect(page.getByText('Request timed out')).toBeVisible({ timeout: 10000 });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Mock error statuses (4xx, 5xx)
+- Test timeout scenarios
+- Validate error UI states
+- No real failures needed
+
+### Example 5: Multiple Intercepts (Order Matters!)
+
+**Context**: Intercepting different endpoints in same test - setup order is critical.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('multiple intercepts', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+ // โ
CORRECT: Setup all intercepts BEFORE navigation
+ const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' });
+ const productsCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/products' });
+ const ordersCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/orders' });
+
+ // THEN navigate
+ await page.goto('/dashboard');
+
+ // Wait for all (or specific ones)
+ const [users, products] = await Promise.all([usersCall, productsCall]);
+
+ expect(users.responseJson).toHaveLength(10);
+ expect(products.responseJson).toHaveLength(50);
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Setup all intercepts before triggering actions
+- Use `Promise.all()` to wait for multiple calls
+- Order: intercept โ navigate โ await
+- Prevents race conditions
+
+## URL Pattern Matching
+
+**Supported glob patterns:**
+
+```typescript
+'**/api/users'; // Any path ending with /api/users
+'/api/users'; // Exact match
+'**/users/*'; // Any users sub-path
+'**/api/{users,products}'; // Either users or products
+'**/api/users?id=*'; // With query params
+```
+
+**Uses picomatch library** - same pattern syntax as Playwright's `page.route()` but cleaner API.
+
+## Comparison with Vanilla Playwright
+
+| Vanilla Playwright | intercept-network-call |
+| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `await page.route('/api/users', route => route.continue())` | `const call = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' })` |
+| `const resp = await page.waitForResponse('/api/users')` | (Combined in single statement) |
+| `const json = await resp.json()` | `const { responseJson } = await call` |
+| `const status = resp.status()` | `const { status } = await call` |
+| Complex filter predicates | Simple glob patterns |
+
+**Reduction:** ~5-7 lines โ ~2-3 lines per interception
+

+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+**โ Intercepting after navigation:**
+
+```typescript
+await page.goto('/dashboard'); // Navigation starts
+const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' }); // Too late!
+```
+
+**โ
Intercept before navigate:**
+
+```typescript
+const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' }); // First
+await page.goto('/dashboard'); // Then navigate
+const { responseJson } = await usersCall; // Then await
+```
+
+**โ Ignoring the returned Promise:**
+
+```typescript
+interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' }); // Not awaited!
+await page.goto('/dashboard');
+// No deterministic wait - race condition
+```
+
+**โ

+const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' });
+await page.goto('/dashboard');
+await usersCall; // Deterministic wait

+# Log Utility
+
+## Principle
+
+Use structured logging that integrates with Playwright's test reports. Support object logging, test step decoration, and multiple log levels (info, step, success, warning, error, debug).
+
+## Rationale
+
+Console.log in Playwright tests has limitations:
+
+- Not visible in HTML reports
+- No test step integration
+- No structured output
+- Lost in terminal noise during CI
+
+The `log` utility provides:
+
+- **Report integration**: Logs appear in Playwright HTML reports
+- **Test step decoration**: `log.step()` creates collapsible steps in UI
+- **Object logging**: Automatically formats objects/arrays
+- **Multiple levels**: info, step, success, warning, error, debug
+- **Optional console**: Can disable console output but keep report logs
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Logging Levels
+
+**Context**: Log different types of messages throughout test execution.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { log } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils';
+
+test('logging demo', async ({ page }) => {
+ await log.step('Navigate to login page');
+ await page.goto('/login');
+
+ await log.info('Entering credentials');
+ await page.fill('#username', 'testuser');
+
+ await log.success('Login successful');
+
+ await log.warning('Rate limit approaching');
+
+ await log.debug({ userId: '123', sessionId: 'abc' });
+
+ // Errors still throw but get logged first
+ try {
+ await page.click('#nonexistent');
+ } catch (error) {
+ await log.error('Click failed', false); // false = no console output
+ throw error;
+ }
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `step()` creates collapsible steps in Playwright UI
+- `info()`, `success()`, `warning()` for different message types
+- `debug()` for detailed data (objects/arrays)
+- `error()` with optional console suppression
+- All logs appear in test reports
+
+### Example 2: Object and Array Logging
+
+**Context**: Log structured data for debugging without cluttering console.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('object logging', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const { body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/users',
+ });
+
+ // Log array of objects
+ await log.debug(body); // Formatted as JSON in report
+
+ // Log specific object
+ await log.info({
+ totalUsers: body.length,
+ firstUser: body[0]?.name,
+ timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
+ });
+
+ // Complex nested structures
+ await log.debug({
+ request: {
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/users',
+ timestamp: Date.now(),
+ },
+ response: {
+ status: 200,
+ body: body.slice(0, 3), // First 3 items
+ },
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Objects auto-formatted as pretty JSON
+- Arrays handled gracefully
+- Nested structures supported
+- All visible in Playwright report attachments
+
+### Example 3: Test Step Organization
+
+**Context**: Organize test execution into collapsible steps for better readability in reports.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('organized with steps', async ({ page, apiRequest }) => {
+ await log.step('ARRANGE: Setup test data');
+ const { body: user } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/users',
+ body: { name: 'Test User' },
+ });
+
+ await log.step('ACT: Perform user action');
+ await page.goto(`/users/${user.id}`);
+ await page.click('#edit');
+ await page.fill('#name', 'Updated Name');
+ await page.click('#save');
+
+ await log.step('ASSERT: Verify changes');
+ await expect(page.getByText('Updated Name')).toBeVisible();
+
+ // In Playwright UI, each step is collapsible
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `log.step()` creates collapsible sections
+- Organize by Arrange-Act-Assert
+- Steps visible in Playwright trace viewer
+- Better debugging when tests fail
+
+### Example 4: Conditional Logging
+
+**Context**: Log different messages based on environment or test conditions.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('conditional logging', async ({ page }) => {
+ const isCI = process.env.CI === 'true';
+
+ if (isCI) {
+ await log.info('Running in CI environment');
+ } else {
+ await log.debug('Running locally');
+ }
+
+ const isKafkaWorking = await checkKafkaHealth();
+
+ if (!isKafkaWorking) {
+ await log.warning('Kafka unavailable - skipping event checks');
+ } else {
+ await log.step('Verifying Kafka events');
+ // ... event verification
+ }
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Log based on environment
+- Skip logging with conditionals
+- Use appropriate log levels
+- Debug info for local, minimal for CI
+
+### Example 5: Integration with Auth and API
+
+**Context**: Log authenticated API requests with tokens (safely).
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+// Helper to create safe token preview
+function createTokenPreview(token: string): string {
+ if (!token || token.length < 10) return '[invalid]';
+ return `${token.slice(0, 6)}...${token.slice(-4)}`;
+}
+
+test('should log auth flow', async ({ authToken, apiRequest }) => {
+ await log.info(`Using token: ${createTokenPreview(authToken)}`);
+
+ await log.step('Fetch protected resource');
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/protected',
+ headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}` },
+ });
+
+ await log.debug({
+ status,
+ bodyPreview: {
+ id: body.id,
+ recordCount: body.data?.length,
+ },
+ });
+
+ await log.success('Protected resource accessed successfully');
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Never log full tokens (security risk)
+- Use preview functions for sensitive data
+- Combine with auth and API utilities
+- Log at appropriate detail level
+
+## Log Levels Guide

+```
+
+**โ Logging sensitive data:**
+
+```typescript
+await log.info(`Password: ${password}`); // Security risk!
+await log.info(`Token: ${authToken}`); // Full token exposed!
+```
+
+**โ
Use previews or omit sensitive data:**
+
+```typescript
+await log.info('User authenticated successfully'); // No sensitive data
+await log.debug({ tokenPreview: token.slice(0, 6) + '...' });
+```
+
+**โ Excessive logging in loops:**
+
+```typescript
+for (const item of items) {
+ await log.info(`Processing ${item.id}`); // 100 log entries!
+}
+```
+
+**โ
Log summary or use debug level:**
+
+```typescript
+await log.step(`Processing ${items.length} items`);
+await log.debug({ itemIds: items.map((i) => i.id) }); // One log entry
+```

+# Network Error Monitor
+
+## Principle
+
+Automatically detect and fail tests when HTTP 4xx/5xx errors occur during execution. Act like Sentry for tests - catch silent backend failures even when UI passes assertions.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Traditional Playwright tests focus on UI:
+
+- Backend 500 errors ignored if UI looks correct
+- Silent failures slip through
+- No visibility into background API health
+- Tests pass while features are broken
+
+The `network-error-monitor` provides:
+
+- **Automatic detection**: All HTTP 4xx/5xx responses tracked
+- **Test failures**: Fail tests with backend errors (even if UI passes)
+- **Structured artifacts**: JSON reports with error details
+- **Smart opt-out**: Disable for validation tests expecting errors
+- **Deduplication**: Group repeated errors by pattern
+- **Domino effect prevention**: Limit test failures per error pattern
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Auto-Monitoring
+
+**Context**: Automatically fail tests when backend errors occur.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/network-error-monitor/fixtures';
+
+// Monitoring automatically enabled
+test('should load dashboard', async ({ page }) => {
+ await page.goto('/dashboard');
+ await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('Dashboard');
+
+ // โ
Passes if no HTTP errors
+ // โ Fails if any 4xx/5xx errors detected with clear message:
+ // "Network errors detected: 2 request(s) failed"
+ // Failed requests:
+ // GET 500 https://api.example.com/users
+ // POST 503 https://api.example.com/metrics
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Zero setup - auto-enabled for all tests
+- Fails on any 4xx/5xx response
+- Structured error message with URLs and status codes
+- JSON artifact attached to test report
+
+### Example 2: Opt-Out for Validation Tests
+
+**Context**: Some tests expect errors (validation, error handling, edge cases).
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/network-error-monitor/fixtures';
+
+// Opt-out with annotation
+test('should show error on invalid input', { annotation: [{ type: 'skipNetworkMonitoring' }] }, async ({ page }) => {
+ await page.goto('/form');
+ await page.click('#submit'); // Triggers 400 error
+
+ // Monitoring disabled - test won't fail on 400
+ await expect(page.getByText('Invalid input')).toBeVisible();
+});
+
+// Or opt-out entire describe block
+test.describe('error handling', { annotation: [{ type: 'skipNetworkMonitoring' }] }, () => {
+ test('handles 404', async ({ page }) => {
+ // All tests in this block skip monitoring
+ });
+
+ test('handles 500', async ({ page }) => {
+ // Monitoring disabled
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Use annotation `{ type: 'skipNetworkMonitoring' }`
+- Can opt-out single test or entire describe block
+- Monitoring still active for other tests
+- Perfect for intentional error scenarios
+
+### Example 3: Integration with Merged Fixtures
+
+**Context**: Combine network-error-monitor with other utilities.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/support/merged-fixtures.ts
+import { mergeTests } from '@playwright/test';
+import { test as authFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session/fixtures';
+import { test as networkErrorMonitorFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/network-error-monitor/fixtures';
+
+export const test = mergeTests(
+ authFixture,
+ networkErrorMonitorFixture,
+ // Add other fixtures
+);
+
+// In tests
+import { test, expect } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+
+test('authenticated with monitoring', async ({ page, authToken }) => {
+ // Both auth and network monitoring active
+ await page.goto('/protected');
+
+ // Fails if backend returns errors during auth flow
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Combine with `mergeTests`
+- Works alongside all other utilities
+- Monitoring active automatically
+- No extra setup needed
+
+### Example 4: Domino Effect Prevention
+
+**Context**: One failing endpoint shouldn't fail all tests.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// Configuration (internal to utility)
+const config = {
+ maxTestsPerError: 3, // Max 3 tests fail per unique error pattern
+};
+
+// Scenario:
+// Test 1: GET /api/broken โ 500 error โ Test fails โ
+// Test 2: GET /api/broken โ 500 error โ Test fails โ
+// Test 3: GET /api/broken โ 500 error โ Test fails โ
+// Test 4: GET /api/broken โ 500 error โ Test passes โ ๏ธ (limit reached, warning logged)
+// Test 5: Different error pattern โ Test fails โ (new pattern, counter resets)
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Limits cascading failures
+- Groups errors by URL + status code pattern
+- Warns when limit reached
+- Prevents flaky backend from failing entire suite
+
+### Example 5: Artifact Structure
+
+**Context**: Debugging failed tests with network error artifacts.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+When test fails due to network errors, artifact attached:
+
+```json
+// test-results/my-test/network-errors.json
+{
+ "errors": [
+ {
+ "url": "https://api.example.com/users",
+ "method": "GET",
+ "status": 500,
+ "statusText": "Internal Server Error",
+ "timestamp": "2024-08-13T10:30:45.123Z"
+ },
+ {
+ "url": "https://api.example.com/metrics",
+ "method": "POST",
+ "status": 503,
+ "statusText": "Service Unavailable",
+ "timestamp": "2024-08-13T10:30:46.456Z"
+ }
+ ],
+ "summary": {
+ "totalErrors": 2,
+ "uniquePatterns": 2
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- JSON artifact per failed test
+- Full error details (URL, method, status, timestamp)
+- Summary statistics
+- Easy debugging with structured data
+
+## Comparison with Manual Error Checks
+
+| Manual Approach | network-error-monitor |
+| ------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------- |
+| `page.on('response', resp => { if (!resp.ok()) ... })` | Auto-enabled, zero setup |
+| Check each response manually | Automatic for all requests |
+| Custom error tracking logic | Built-in deduplication |
+| No structured artifacts | JSON artifacts attached |
+| Easy to forget | Never miss a backend error |
+
+## When to Use
+
+**Auto-enabled for:**
+
+- โ
All E2E tests
+- โ
Integration tests
+- โ
Any test hitting real APIs
+
+**Opt-out for:**
+
+- โ Validation tests (expecting 4xx)
+- โ Error handling tests (expecting 5xx)
+- โ Offline tests (network-recorder playback)
+
+## Integration with Framework Setup
+
+In `*framework` workflow, mention network-error-monitor:
+
+```typescript
+// Add to merged-fixtures.ts
+import { test as networkErrorMonitorFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/network-error-monitor/fixtures';
+
+export const test = mergeTests(
+ // ... other fixtures
+ networkErrorMonitorFixture,
+);
+```
+
+## Related Fragments
+
+- `overview.md` - Installation and fixtures
+- `fixtures-composition.md` - Merging with other utilities
+- `error-handling.md` - Traditional error handling patterns
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+**โ Opting out of monitoring globally:**
+
+```typescript
+// Every test skips monitoring
+test.use({ annotation: [{ type: 'skipNetworkMonitoring' }] });
+```
+
+**โ
Opt-out only for specific error tests:**
+
+```typescript
+test.describe('error scenarios', { annotation: [{ type: 'skipNetworkMonitoring' }] }, () => {
+ // Only these tests skip monitoring
+});
+```
+
+**โ Ignoring network error artifacts:**
+
+```typescript
+// Test fails, artifact shows 500 errors
+// Developer: "Works on my machine" ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
+```
+
+**โ
Check artifacts for root cause:**
+
+```typescript
+// Read network-errors.json artifact
+// Identify failing endpoint: GET /api/users โ 500
+// Fix backend issue before merging
+```

+# Network Recorder Utility
+
+## Principle
+
+Record network traffic to HAR files during test execution, then play back from disk for offline testing. Enables frontend tests to run in complete isolation from backend services with intelligent stateful CRUD detection for realistic API behavior.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Traditional E2E tests require live backend services:
+
+- Slow (real network latency)
+- Flaky (backend instability affects tests)
+- Expensive (full stack running for UI tests)
+- Coupled (UI tests break when API changes)
+
+HAR-based recording/playback provides:
+
+- **True offline testing**: UI tests run without backend
+- **Deterministic behavior**: Same responses every time
+- **Fast execution**: No network latency
+- **Stateful mocking**: CRUD operations work naturally (not just read-only)
+- **Environment flexibility**: Map URLs for any environment
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Record and Playback
+
+**Context**: The fundamental pattern - record traffic once, play back for all subsequent runs.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/network-recorder/fixtures';
+
+// Set mode in test file (recommended)
+process.env.PW_NET_MODE = 'playback'; // or 'record'
+
+test('CRUD operations work offline', async ({ page, context, networkRecorder }) => {
+ // Setup recorder (records or plays back based on PW_NET_MODE)
+ await networkRecorder.setup(context);
+
+ await page.goto('/');
+
+ // First time (record mode): Records all network traffic to HAR
+ // Subsequent runs (playback mode): Plays back from HAR (no backend!)
+ await page.fill('#movie-name', 'Inception');
+ await page.click('#add-movie');
+
+ // Intelligent CRUD detection makes this work offline!
+ await expect(page.getByText('Inception')).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `PW_NET_MODE=record` captures traffic to HAR files
+- `PW_NET_MODE=playback` replays from HAR files
+- Set mode in test file or via environment variable
+- HAR files auto-organized by test name
+- Stateful mocking detects CRUD operations
+
+### Example 2: Complete CRUD Flow with HAR
+
+**Context**: Full create-read-update-delete flow that works completely offline.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+process.env.PW_NET_MODE = 'playback';
+
+test.describe('Movie CRUD - offline with network recorder', () => {
+ test.beforeEach(async ({ page, networkRecorder, context }) => {
+ await networkRecorder.setup(context);
+ await page.goto('/');
+ });
+
+ test('should add, edit, delete movie browser-only', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+ // Create
+ await page.fill('#movie-name', 'Inception');
+ await page.fill('#year', '2010');
+ await page.click('#add-movie');
+
+ // Verify create (reads from stateful HAR)
+ await expect(page.getByText('Inception')).toBeVisible();
+
+ // Update
+ await page.getByText('Inception').click();
+ await page.fill('#movie-name', "Inception Director's Cut");
+
+ const updateCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+ method: 'PUT',
+ url: '/movies/*',
+ });
+
+ await page.click('#save');
+ await updateCall; // Wait for update
+
+ // Verify update (HAR reflects state change!)
+ await page.click('#back');
+ await expect(page.getByText("Inception Director's Cut")).toBeVisible();
+
+ // Delete
+ await page.click(`[data-testid="delete-Inception Director's Cut"]`);
+
+ // Verify delete (HAR reflects removal!)
+ await expect(page.getByText("Inception Director's Cut")).not.toBeVisible();
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Full CRUD operations work offline
+- Stateful HAR mocking tracks creates/updates/deletes
+- Combine with `interceptNetworkCall` for deterministic waits
+- First run records, subsequent runs replay
+
+### Example 3: Environment Switching
+
+**Context**: Record in dev environment, play back in CI with different base URLs.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright.config.ts - Map URLs for different environments
+export default defineConfig({
+ use: {
+ baseURL: process.env.CI ? 'https://app.ci.example.com' : 'http://localhost:3000',
+ },
+});
+
+// Test works in both environments
+test('cross-environment playback', async ({ page, context, networkRecorder }) => {
+ await networkRecorder.setup(context);
+
+ // In dev: hits http://localhost:3000/api/movies
+ // In CI: HAR replays with https://app.ci.example.com/api/movies
+ await page.goto('/movies');
+
+ // Network recorder auto-maps URLs
+ await expect(page.getByTestId('movie-list')).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- HAR files record absolute URLs
+- Playback maps to current baseURL
+- Same HAR works across environments
+- No manual URL rewriting needed
+
+### Example 4: Automatic vs Manual Mode Control
+
+**Context**: Choose between environment-based switching or in-test mode control.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// Option 1: Environment variable (recommended for CI)
+PW_NET_MODE=record npm run test:pw # Record traffic
+PW_NET_MODE=playback npm run test:pw # Playback traffic
+
+// Option 2: In-test control (recommended for development)
+process.env.PW_NET_MODE = 'record' // Set at top of test file
+
+test('my test', async ({ page, context, networkRecorder }) => {
+ await networkRecorder.setup(context)
+ // ...
+})
+
+// Option 3: Auto-fallback (record if HAR missing, else playback)
+// This is the default behavior when PW_NET_MODE not set
+test('auto mode', async ({ page, context, networkRecorder }) => {
+ await networkRecorder.setup(context)
+ // First run: auto-records
+ // Subsequent runs: auto-plays back
+})
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Three mode options: record, playback, auto
+- `PW_NET_MODE` environment variable
+- In-test `process.env.PW_NET_MODE` assignment
+- Auto-fallback when no mode specified
+
+## Why Use This Instead of Native Playwright?
+
+| Native Playwright (`routeFromHAR`) | network-recorder Utility |
+| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
+| ~80 lines setup boilerplate | ~5 lines total |
+| Manual HAR file management | Automatic file organization |
+| Complex setup/teardown | Automatic cleanup via fixtures |
+| **Read-only tests** | **Full CRUD support** |
+| **Stateless** | **Stateful mocking** |
+| Manual URL mapping | Automatic environment mapping |
+
+**The game-changer: Stateful CRUD detection**
+
+Native Playwright HAR playback is stateless - a POST create followed by GET list won't show the created item. This utility intelligently tracks CRUD operations in memory to reflect state changes, making offline tests behave like real APIs.
+
+## Integration with Other Utilities
+
+**With interceptNetworkCall** (deterministic waits):
+
+```typescript
+test('use both utilities', async ({ page, context, networkRecorder, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+ await networkRecorder.setup(context);
+
+ const createCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+ method: 'POST',
+ url: '/api/movies',
+ });
+
+ await page.click('#add-movie');
+ await createCall; // Wait for create (works with HAR!)
+
+ // Network recorder provides playback, intercept provides determinism
+});
+```
+
+## Related Fragments
+
+- `overview.md` - Installation and fixture patterns
+- `intercept-network-call.md` - Combine for deterministic offline tests
+- `auth-session.md` - Record authenticated traffic
+- `network-first.md` - Core pattern for intercept-before-navigate
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+**โ Mixing record and playback in same test:**
+
+```typescript
+process.env.PW_NET_MODE = 'record';
+// ... some test code ...
+process.env.PW_NET_MODE = 'playback'; // Don't switch mid-test
+```
+
+**โ
One mode per test:**
+
+```typescript
+process.env.PW_NET_MODE = 'playback'; // Set once at top
+
+test('my test', async ({ page, context, networkRecorder }) => {
+ await networkRecorder.setup(context);
+ // Entire test uses playback mode
+});
+```
+
+**โ Forgetting to call setup:**
+
+```typescript
+test('broken', async ({ page, networkRecorder }) => {
+ await page.goto('/'); // HAR not active!
+});
+```
+
+**โ
Always call setup before navigation:**
+
+```typescript
+test('correct', async ({ page, context, networkRecorder }) => {
+ await networkRecorder.setup(context); // Must setup first
+ await page.goto('/'); // Now HAR is active
+});
+```

+# Playwright Utils Overview
+
+## Principle
+
+Use production-ready, fixture-based utilities from `@seontechnologies/playwright-utils` for common Playwright testing patterns. Build test helpers as pure functions first, then wrap in framework-specific fixtures for composability and reuse.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Writing Playwright utilities from scratch for every project leads to:
+
+- Duplicated code across test suites
+- Inconsistent patterns and quality
+- Maintenance burden when Playwright APIs change
+- Missing advanced features (schema validation, HAR recording, auth persistence)
+
+`@seontechnologies/playwright-utils` provides:
+
+- **Production-tested utilities**: Used at SEON Technologies in production
+- **Functional-first design**: Core logic as pure functions, fixtures for convenience
+- **Composable fixtures**: Use `mergeTests` to combine utilities
+- **TypeScript support**: Full type safety with generic types
+- **Comprehensive coverage**: API requests, auth, network, logging, file handling, burn-in
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install -D @seontechnologies/playwright-utils
+```
+
+**Peer Dependencies:**
+
+- `@playwright/test` >= 1.54.1 (required)
+- `ajv` >= 8.0.0 (optional - for JSON Schema validation)
+- `js-yaml` >= 4.0.0 (optional - for YAML schema support)
+- `zod` >= 3.0.0 (optional - for Zod schema validation)
+
+## Available Utilities
+
+### Core Testing Utilities
+
+| Utility | Purpose | Test Context |
+| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------------- |
+| **api-request** | Typed HTTP client with schema validation | API tests |
+| **network-recorder** | HAR record/playback for offline testing | UI tests |
+| **auth-session** | Token persistence, multi-user auth | Both UI & API |
+| **recurse** | Cypress-style polling for async conditions | Both UI & API |
+| **intercept-network-call** | Network spy/stub with auto JSON parsing | UI tests |
+| **log** | Playwright report-integrated logging | Both UI & API |
+| **file-utils** | CSV/XLSX/PDF/ZIP reading & validation | Both UI & API |
+| **burn-in** | Smart test selection with git diff | CI/CD |
+| **network-error-monitor** | Automatic HTTP 4xx/5xx detection | UI tests |
+
+## Design Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Functional Core, Fixture Shell
+
+**Context**: All utilities follow the same architectural pattern - pure function as core, fixture as wrapper.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// Direct import (pass Playwright context explicitly)
+import { apiRequest } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils';
+
+test('direct usage', async ({ request }) => {
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ request, // Must pass request context
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/users',
+ });
+});
+
+// Fixture import (context injected automatically)
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test('fixture usage', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ // No need to pass request context
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/users',
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Pure functions testable without Playwright running
+- Fixtures inject framework dependencies automatically
+- Choose direct import (more control) or fixture (convenience)
+
+### Pattern 2: Subpath Imports for Tree-Shaking
+
+**Context**: Import only what you need to keep bundle sizes small.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// Import specific utility
+import { apiRequest } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request';
+
+// Import specific fixture
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+
+// Import everything (use sparingly)
+import { apiRequest, recurse, log } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils';
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Subpath imports enable tree-shaking
+- Keep bundle sizes minimal
+- Import from specific paths for production builds
+
+### Pattern 3: Fixture Composition with mergeTests
+
+**Context**: Combine multiple playwright-utils fixtures with your own custom fixtures.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/support/merged-fixtures.ts
+import { mergeTests } from '@playwright/test';
+import { test as apiRequestFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+import { test as authFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session/fixtures';
+import { test as recurseFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/recurse/fixtures';
+import { test as logFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/log/fixtures';
+
+// Merge all fixtures into one test object
+export const test = mergeTests(apiRequestFixture, authFixture, recurseFixture, logFixture);
+
+export { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+```
+
+```typescript
+// In your tests
+import { test, expect } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+
+test('all utilities available', async ({ apiRequest, authToken, recurse, log }) => {
+ await log.step('Making authenticated API request');
+
+ const { body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/protected',
+ headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}` },
+ });
+
+ await recurse(
+ () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: `/status/${body.id}` }),
+ (res) => res.body.ready === true,
+ );
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `mergeTests` combines multiple fixtures without conflicts
+- Create one merged-fixtures.ts file per project
+- Import test object from your merged fixtures in all tests
+- All utilities available in single test signature
+
+## Integration with Existing Tests
+
+### Gradual Adoption Strategy
+
+**1. Start with logging** (zero breaking changes):
+
+```typescript
+import { log } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils';
+
+test('existing test', async ({ page }) => {
+ await log.step('Navigate to page'); // Just add logging
+ await page.goto('/dashboard');
+ // Rest of test unchanged
+});
+```
+
+**2. Add API utilities** (for API tests):
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+
+test('API test', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/users',
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(200);
+});
+```
+
+**3. Expand to network utilities** (for UI tests):
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test('UI with network control', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+ const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+ url: '**/api/users',
+ });
+
+ await page.goto('/dashboard');
+ const { responseJson } = await usersCall;
+
+ expect(responseJson).toHaveLength(10);
+});
+```
+
+**4. Full integration** (merged fixtures):
+
+Create merged-fixtures.ts and use across all tests.

+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+**โ Don't mix direct and fixture imports in same test:**
+
+```typescript
+import { apiRequest } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils';
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session/fixtures';
+
+test('bad', async ({ request, authToken }) => {
+ // Confusing - mixing direct (needs request) and fixture (has authToken)
+ await apiRequest({ request, method: 'GET', path: '/api/users' });
+});
+```
+
+**โ
Use consistent import style:**
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+
+test('good', async ({ apiRequest, authToken }) => {
+ // Clean - all from fixtures
+ await apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/api/users' });
+});
+```
+
+**โ Don't import everything when you need one utility:**

+# Recurse (Polling) Utility
+
+## Principle
+
+Use Cypress-style polling with Playwright's `expect.poll` to wait for asynchronous conditions. Provides configurable timeout, interval, logging, and post-polling callbacks with enhanced error categorization.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Testing async operations (background jobs, eventual consistency, webhook processing) requires polling:
+
+- Vanilla `expect.poll` is verbose
+- No built-in logging for debugging
+- Generic timeout errors
+- No post-poll hooks
+
+The `recurse` utility provides:
+
+- **Clean syntax**: Inspired by cypress-recurse
+- **Enhanced errors**: Timeout vs command failure vs predicate errors
+- **Built-in logging**: Track polling progress
+- **Post-poll callbacks**: Process results after success
+- **Type-safe**: Full TypeScript generic support
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Polling
+
+**Context**: Wait for async operation to complete with custom timeout and interval.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/recurse/fixtures';
+
+test('should wait for job completion', async ({ recurse, apiRequest }) => {
+ // Start job
+ const { body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/jobs',
+ body: { type: 'export' },
+ });
+
+ // Poll until ready
+ const result = await recurse(
+ () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: `/api/jobs/${body.id}` }),
+ (response) => response.body.status === 'completed',
+ {
+ timeout: 60000, // 60 seconds max
+ interval: 2000, // Check every 2 seconds
+ log: 'Waiting for export job to complete',
+ },
+ );
+
+ expect(result.body.downloadUrl).toBeDefined();
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- First arg: command function (what to execute)
+- Second arg: predicate function (when to stop)
+- Options: timeout, interval, log message
+- Returns the value when predicate returns true
+
+### Example 2: Polling with Assertions
+
+**Context**: Use assertions directly in predicate for more expressive tests.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('should poll with assertions', async ({ recurse, apiRequest }) => {
+ await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/events',
+ body: { type: 'user-created', userId: '123' },
+ });
+
+ // Poll with assertions in predicate
+ await recurse(
+ async () => {
+ const { body } = await apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/api/events/123' });
+ return body;
+ },
+ (event) => {
+ // Use assertions instead of boolean returns
+ expect(event.processed).toBe(true);
+ expect(event.timestamp).toBeDefined();
+ // If assertions pass, predicate succeeds
+ },
+ { timeout: 30000 },
+ );
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Predicate can use `expect()` assertions
+- If assertions throw, polling continues
+- If assertions pass, polling succeeds
+- More expressive than boolean returns
+
+### Example 3: Custom Error Messages
+
+**Context**: Provide context-specific error messages for timeout failures.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('custom error on timeout', async ({ recurse, apiRequest }) => {
+ try {
+ await recurse(
+ () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/api/status' }),
+ (res) => res.body.ready === true,
+ {
+ timeout: 10000,
+ error: 'System failed to become ready within 10 seconds - check background workers',
+ },
+ );
+ } catch (error) {
+ // Error message includes custom context
+ expect(error.message).toContain('check background workers');
+ throw error;
+ }
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `error` option provides custom message
+- Replaces default "Timed out after X ms"
+- Include debugging hints in error message
+- Helps diagnose failures faster
+
+### Example 4: Post-Polling Callback
+
+**Context**: Process or log results after successful polling.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('post-poll processing', async ({ recurse, apiRequest }) => {
+ const finalResult = await recurse(
+ () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/api/batch-job/123' }),
+ (res) => res.body.status === 'completed',
+ {
+ timeout: 60000,
+ post: (result) => {
+ // Runs after successful polling
+ console.log(`Job completed in ${result.body.duration}ms`);
+ console.log(`Processed ${result.body.itemsProcessed} items`);
+ return result.body;
+ },
+ },
+ );
+
+ expect(finalResult.itemsProcessed).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `post` callback runs after predicate succeeds
+- Receives the final result
+- Can transform or log results
+- Return value becomes final `recurse` result
+
+### Example 5: Integration with API Request (Common Pattern)
+
+**Context**: Most common use case - polling API endpoints for state changes.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test('end-to-end polling', async ({ apiRequest, recurse }) => {
+ // Trigger async operation
+ const { body: createResp } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/data-import',
+ body: { source: 's3://bucket/data.csv' },
+ });
+
+ // Poll until import completes
+ const importResult = await recurse(
+ () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: `/api/data-import/${createResp.importId}` }),
+ (response) => {
+ const { status, rowsImported } = response.body;
+ return status === 'completed' && rowsImported > 0;
+ },
+ {
+ timeout: 120000, // 2 minutes for large imports
+ interval: 5000, // Check every 5 seconds
+ log: `Polling import ${createResp.importId}`,
+ },
+ );
+
+ expect(importResult.body.rowsImported).toBeGreaterThan(1000);
+ expect(importResult.body.errors).toHaveLength(0);
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Combine `apiRequest` + `recurse` for API polling
+- Both from `@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures`
+- Complex predicates with multiple conditions
+- Logging shows polling progress in test reports
+
+## Enhanced Error Types
+
+The utility categorizes errors for easier debugging:
+
+```typescript
+// TimeoutError - Predicate never returned true
+Error: Polling timed out after 30000ms: Job never completed
+
+// CommandError - Command function threw
+Error: Command failed: Request failed with status 500
+
+// PredicateError - Predicate function threw (not from assertions)
+Error: Predicate failed: Cannot read property 'status' of undefined
+```
+
+## Comparison with Vanilla Playwright
+
+| Vanilla Playwright | recurse Utility |
+| ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `await expect.poll(() => { ... }, { timeout: 30000 }).toBe(true)` | `await recurse(() => { ... }, (val) => val === true, { timeout: 30000 })` |
+| No logging | Built-in log option |
+| Generic timeout errors | Categorized errors (timeout/command/predicate) |
+| No post-poll hooks | `post` callback support |
+
+## When to Use
+
+**Use recurse for:**
+
+- โ
Background job completion
+- โ
Webhook/event processing
+- โ
Database eventual consistency
+- โ
Cache propagation
+- โ
State machine transitions
+
+**Stick with vanilla expect.poll for:**
+
+- Simple UI element visibility (use `expect(locator).toBeVisible()`)
+- Single-property checks
+- Cases where logging isn't needed
+
+## Related Fragments
+
+- `api-request.md` - Combine for API endpoint polling
+- `overview.md` - Fixture composition patterns
+- `fixtures-composition.md` - Using with mergeTests
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+**โ Using hard waits instead of polling:**
+
+```typescript
+await page.click('#export');
+await page.waitForTimeout(5000); // Arbitrary wait
+expect(await page.textContent('#status')).toBe('Ready');
+```
+
+**โ
Poll for actual condition:**
+
+```typescript
+await page.click('#export');
+await recurse(
+ () => page.textContent('#status'),
+ (status) => status === 'Ready',
+ { timeout: 10000 },
+);
+```
+
+**โ Polling too frequently:**
+
+```typescript
+await recurse(
+ () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/status' }),
+ (res) => res.body.ready,
+ { interval: 100 }, // Hammers API every 100ms!
+);
+```
+
+**โ
Reasonable interval for API calls:**
+
+```typescript
+await recurse(
+ () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/status' }),
+ (res) => res.body.ready,
+ { interval: 2000 }, // Check every 2 seconds (reasonable)
+);
+```

- ๐ฎ **GAME DEVELOPMENT DETECTED**
-
- Game development workflows are now part of the **BMad Game Development (BMGD)** module,
- which provides specialized workflows and agents for game creation.
-
- **To proceed with game development:**
-
- 1. Install the BMGD module:
- ```bash
- bmad install bmgd
- ```
-
- 2. The BMGD module includes:
- - Game Designer, Game Developer, Game Architect agents
- - Game Dev Scrum Master for sprint coordination
- - Industry-standard game dev workflows:
- โข Phase 1 (Preproduction): brainstorm-game, game-brief
- โข Phase 2 (Design): GDD, narrative design
- โข Phase 3 (Technical): game architecture
- โข Phase 4 (Production): sprint planning, story management
-
- 3. After installation, load the Game Designer or Game Dev Scrum Master agent
- to begin your game development workflow
-
- **Why a separate module?**
- - Game development follows different phases than software development
- - Specialized agents understand game-specific terminology and patterns
- - Workflows configured for game development needs (playtesting, balancing, etc.)
- - Can be used standalone or alongside BMM for complete coverage
-
- โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ

+ identity: Master presentation designer who's dissected thousands of successful presentationsโfrom viral YouTube explainers to funded pitch decks to TED talks. Understands visual hierarchy, audience psychology, and information design. Knows when to be bold and casual, when to be polished and professional. Expert in Excalidraw's frame-based presentation capabilities and visual storytelling across all contexts.
+ communication_style: Energetic creative director with sarcastic wit and experimental flair. Talks like you're in the editing room togetherโdramatic reveals, visual metaphors, "what if we tried THIS?!" energy. Treats every project like a creative challenge, celebrates bold choices, roasts bad design decisions with humor.
+ principles: |
+ - Know your audience - pitch decks โ YouTube thumbnails โ conference talks
+ - Visual hierarchy drives attention - design the eye's journey deliberately
+ - Clarity over cleverness - unless cleverness serves the message
+ - Every frame needs a job - inform, persuade, transition, or cut it
+ - Test the 3-second rule - can they grasp the core idea that fast?
+ - White space builds focus - cramming kills comprehension
+ - Consistency signals professionalism - establish and maintain visual language
+ - Story structure applies everywhere - hook, build tension, deliver payoff
