+# Fork Changes: @jonahschulte/bmad-method
+
+This document describes the customizations and enhancements in this fork compared to the [upstream BMAD-METHOD repository](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD).
+
+## Overview
+
+This fork extends the official BMAD Method with **production automation workflows** focused on:
+
+- **Quality assurance automation** - Multi-stage validation pipelines
+- **Token efficiency** - 60-70% reduction in token usage per story
+- **Autonomous processing** - Unattended epic completion
+- **Anti-vibe-coding enforcement** - Mandatory gap analysis and code review
+
+**Stats:** ~26,000+ lines of additions across 122 files
+
+---
+
+## Key Features Added
+
+### 1. Super-Dev Pipeline (`/super-dev-pipeline`)
+
+A comprehensive quality workflow that ensures stories are **truly complete** before marking done:
+
+```
+Pre-validation → Development → Post-validation → Code Review → Fixes → Done ✅
+```
+
+**What it solves:**
+- Prevents premature task completion ("stupid-dev" syndrome)
+- Catches partial implementations
+- Finds missed edge cases automatically
+- Runs adversarial code review before human review
+
+**Location:** `src/modules/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/super-dev-pipeline/`
+
+---
+
+### 2. Story Pipeline v2.0 (`/story-pipeline`)
+
+Single-session step-file architecture with **60-70% token savings**:
+
+| Mode | Token Usage | Savings vs Legacy |
+|------|-------------|-------------------|
+| Interactive | ~25K | 65% |
+| Batch (YOLO) | ~30K | 58% |
+
+**How it works:**
+- Replaces 6 separate Claude CLI calls with 1 session
+- Just-in-time step loading
+- Checkpoint/resume capability
+- Role switching within session (SM → TEA → DEV → SM)
+
+**Automated steps:**
+1. Initialize & load context
+2. Create story (SM role)
+3. Validate story (adversarial - must find 3-10 issues)
+4. ATDD test generation (TEA role)
+5. Implementation (DEV role)
+6. Code review (adversarial)
+7. Complete & commit
+8. Generate audit trail
+
+**Location:** `src/modules/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/story-pipeline/`
+
+---
+
+### 3. Batch Super-Dev (`/batch-super-dev`) ⭐ Primary
+
+Interactive batch workflow for processing multiple stories with full quality gates:
+
+```bash
+/batch-super-dev
+
+→ Select stories: 1-3,5,7 (or "all")
+→ Validates story files (creates missing, regenerates invalid)
+→ Processes each with super-dev-pipeline
+→ Reconciles story status after each
+→ All stories complete! ✅
+```
+
+**Features (v1.2.0):**
+- **Smart Story Validation** - Checks 12 required BMAD sections
+- **Auto-Creation** - Creates missing story files with codebase gap analysis
+- **Auto-Regeneration** - Regenerates invalid/incomplete stories
+- **Sequential or Parallel** execution modes
+- **Story Reconciliation** - Verifies checkboxes match implementation
+- **Epic filtering** - Process only specific epic's stories
+
+**Location:** `src/modules/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/batch-super-dev/`
+
+---
+
+### 4. Gap Analysis (`/gap-analysis`)
+
+Dev-time codebase validation that solves the **batch planning staleness problem**:
+
+**The Problem:** Stories planned days ago become stale as the codebase evolves.
+
+**The Solution:** Mandatory gap analysis before development:
+1. Scans current codebase
+2. Validates DRAFT tasks against reality
+3. Proposes refinements (add/modify/remove tasks)
+4. User approves with 6 options: Y/A/n/e/s/r
+
+**Location:** `src/modules/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/gap-analysis/`
+
+---
+
+### 5. Push-All Workflow (`/push-all`)
+
+Safe automated git operations with comprehensive safety checks:
+
+- Secret detection (API keys, credentials)
+- Large file warnings
+- Build artifact detection
+- Smart commit message generation
+- Auto-push with error handling
+
+**Location:** `src/modules/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/push-all/`
+
+---
+

-# Autonomous Epic Processing
-
-## Concept
-
-**Full-auto epic completion** - Create and develop all stories in an epic with zero human intervention.
-
-```
-/auto-epic epic-2
-
-→ Creates story 2.1 → Super-dev → Done
-→ Creates story 2.2 → Super-dev → Done
-→ Creates story 2.3 → Super-dev → Done
-...
-→ Entire epic complete! ✅
-```
-
-## Workflow
-
-```
-┌──────────────────────────────────────┐
-│ Auto-Epic Processor │
-│ │
-│ 1. Read epic definition │
-│ 2. For each story in epic: │
-│ ├─ create-story │
-│ ├─ super-dev-story │
-│ │ ├─ Pre gap analysis │
-│ │ ├─ Development │
-│ │ ├─ Post gap analysis │
-│ │ ├─ Code review │
-│ │ └─ Fix issues │
-│ └─ Mark done │
-│ 3. Epic retrospective │
-│ 4. Report completion │
-└──────────────────────────────────────┘
-```
-
-## Use Cases
-
-### 1. Overnight Processing
-```bash
-# Start before leaving office
-/auto-epic epic-3
-
-# Come back next morning
-# → Epic 100% complete
-```
-
-### 2. CI/CD Integration
-```bash
-# In GitHub Actions
-bmad auto-epic epic-2 --config production.yaml
-```
-
-### 3. Batch Sprints
-```bash
-# Process multiple epics
-/auto-epic epic-1,epic-2,epic-3
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-```yaml
-# _bmad/bmm/config.yaml
-
-autonomous_mode:
- enabled: true
-
- # Fail behavior
- halt_on_error: false # Continue even if story fails
- max_retry_per_story: 3 # Retry failed stories
-
- # Quality gates
- require_super_dev: true # Use super-dev for all stories
- require_100_percent: false # Require 100% test coverage
-
- # Notification
- notify_on_complete: true # Send notification when done
- notify_webhook: "" # Slack/Discord webhook
-```
-
-## Safety
-
-### Validation Before Start
-
-```
-Autonomous processing will:
-- Create 15 stories
-- Develop all automatically
-- Take approximately 8 hours
-- Commit all changes to: feature/epic-2-auto
-
-Confirm? [Y/n]:
-```
-
-### Checkpoints
-
-- Creates git branch for the epic
-- Commits after each story
-- Saves progress if interrupted
-- Can resume from last completed story
-
-### Rollback
-
-```bash
-# If something goes wrong
-/auto-epic rollback epic-2
-
-# Restores to pre-processing state
-```
-
-## Example Output
-
-```

-# Sprint Status Sync - Complete Guide
-
-**Created:** 2026-01-02
-**Purpose:** Prevent drift between story files and sprint-status.yaml
-**Status:** PRODUCTION READY
-
----
-
-## 🚨 THE PROBLEM WE SOLVED
-
-**Before Fix (2026-01-02):**
-- 78% of story files (435/552) had NO `Status:` field
-- 30+ completed stories not reflected in sprint-status.yaml
-- Epic 19: 28 stories done, sprint-status said "in-progress"
-- Epic 16d: 3 stories done, sprint-status said "backlog"
-- Last verification: 32+ hours old
-
-**Root Cause:**
-- Autonomous workflows prioritized velocity over tracking
-- Manual workflows didn't enforce status updates
-- No automated sync mechanism
-- sprint-status.yaml manually maintained
-
----
-
-## ✅ THE SOLUTION (Full Workflow Fix)
-
-### Component 1: Automated Sync Script
-
-**Script:** `scripts/sync-sprint-status.sh`
-**Purpose:** Scan story Status: fields → Update sprint-status.yaml
-
-**Usage:**
-```bash
-# Update sprint-status.yaml
-pnpm sync:sprint-status
-
-# Preview changes (no modifications)
-pnpm sync:sprint-status:dry-run
-
-# Validate only (exit 1 if out of sync)
-pnpm validate:sprint-status
-```
-
-**Features:**
-- Only updates stories WITH explicit Status: fields
-- Skips stories without Status: (trusts sprint-status.yaml)
-- Creates automatic backups (.sprint-status-backups/)
-- Preserves all comments and structure
-- Returns clear pass/fail exit codes
-
----
-
-### Component 2: Workflow Enforcement
-
-**Modified Files:**
-1. `_bmad/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/dev-story/instructions.xml`
-2. `_bmad/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/autonomous-epic/instructions.xml`
-
-**Changes:**
-- ✅ HALT if story not found in sprint-status.yaml (was: warning)
-- ✅ Verify sprint-status.yaml update persisted (new validation)
-- ✅ Update both story Status: field AND sprint-status.yaml
-- ✅ Fail loudly if either update fails
-
-**Before:** Workflows logged warnings, continued anyway
-**After:** Workflows HALT if tracking update fails
-
----
-
-### Component 3: CI/CD Validation
-
-**Workflow:** `.github/workflows/validate-sprint-status.yml`
-**Trigger:** Every PR touching docs/sprint-artifacts/
-
-**Checks:**
-1. sprint-status.yaml exists
-2. All changed story files have Status: fields
-3. sprint-status.yaml is in sync (runs validation)
-4. Blocks merge if validation fails
-
-**How to fix CI failures:**
-```bash
-# See what's wrong
-./scripts/sync-sprint-status.sh --dry-run
-
-# Fix it
-./scripts/sync-sprint-status.sh
-
-# Commit
-git add docs/sprint-artifacts/sprint-status.yaml
-git commit -m "chore: sync sprint-status.yaml"
-git push
-```
-
----
-
-### Component 4: pnpm Scripts
-
-**Added to package.json:**
-```json
-{
- "scripts": {
- "sync:sprint-status": "./scripts/sync-sprint-status.sh",
- "sync:sprint-status:dry-run": "./scripts/sync-sprint-status.sh --dry-run",
- "validate:sprint-status": "./scripts/sync-sprint-status.sh --validate"
- }
-}
-```
-
-**When to run:**
-- `pnpm sync:sprint-status` - After manually updating story Status: fields
-- `pnpm validate:sprint-status` - Before committing changes
-- Automatically in CI/CD - Validates on every PR
-
----
-
-## 🎯 NEW WORKFLOW (How It Works Now)
-
-### When Creating a Story
-
-```
-/create-story workflow
- ↓
-1. Generate story file with Status: ready-for-dev
- ↓
-2. Add entry to sprint-status.yaml with status "ready-for-dev"
- ↓
-3. HALT if sprint-status.yaml update fails
- ↓
-✅ Story file and sprint-status.yaml both updated
-```
-
-### When Implementing a Story
-
-```
-/dev-story workflow
- ↓
-1. Load story, start work
- ↓
-2. Mark tasks complete [x]
- ↓
-3. Run tests, validate
- ↓
-4. Update story Status: "in-progress" → "review"
- ↓
-5. Update sprint-status.yaml: "in-progress" → "review"
- ↓
-6. VERIFY sprint-status.yaml update persisted
- ↓
-7. HALT if verification fails
- ↓
-✅ Both updated and verified
-```
-
-### When Running Autonomous Epic
-
-```
-/autonomous-epic workflow
- ↓
-For each story:
- 1. Run super-dev-pipeline
- ↓
- 2. Check all tasks complete
- ↓
- 3. Update story Status: "done"
- ↓
- 4. Update sprint-status.yaml entry to "done"
- ↓
- 5. Verify update persisted
- ↓
- 6. Log failure if verification fails (don't halt - continue)
- ↓
-After all stories:
- 7. Mark epic "done" in sprint-status.yaml
- ↓
- 8. Verify epic status persisted
- ↓
-✅ All stories and epic status updated
-```
-
----
-
-## 🛡️ ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS
-
-### 1. Required Fields (Create-Story)
-- **Enforcement:** Story MUST be added to sprint-status.yaml during creation
-- **Validation:** Workflow HALTS if story not found after creation
-- **Result:** No orphaned stories
-
-### 2. Status Updates (Dev-Story)
-- **Enforcement:** Both Status: field AND sprint-status.yaml MUST update
-- **Validation:** Re-read sprint-status.yaml to verify update
-- **Result:** No silent failures
-
-### 3. Verification (Autonomous-Epic)
-- **Enforcement:** Sprint-status.yaml updated after each story
-- **Validation:** Verify update persisted, log failure if not
-- **Result:** Tracking stays in sync even during autonomous runs
-
-### 4. CI/CD Gates (GitHub Actions)
-- **Enforcement:** PR merge blocked if validation fails
-- **Validation:** Runs `pnpm validate:sprint-status` on every PR
-- **Result:** Drift cannot be merged
-
----
-
-## 📋 MANUAL SYNC PROCEDURES
-
-### If sprint-status.yaml Gets Out of Sync
-
-**Scenario 1: Story Status: fields updated but sprint-status.yaml not synced**
-```bash
-# See what needs updating
-pnpm sync:sprint-status:dry-run
-
-# Apply updates
-pnpm sync:sprint-status
-
-# Verify
-pnpm validate:sprint-status
-
-# Commit
-git add docs/sprint-artifacts/sprint-status.yaml
-git commit -m "chore: sync sprint-status.yaml with story updates"
-```
-
-**Scenario 2: sprint-status.yaml has truth, story files missing Status: fields**
-```bash
-# Create script to backfill Status: fields FROM sprint-status.yaml
-./scripts/backfill-story-status-fields.sh # (To be created if needed)
-
-# This would:
-# 1. Read sprint-status.yaml
-# 2. For each story entry, find the story file
-# 3. Add/update Status: field to match sprint-status.yaml
-# 4. Preserve all other content
-```
-
-**Scenario 3: Massive drift after autonomous work**
-```bash
-# Option A: Trust sprint-status.yaml (if it was manually verified)
-# - Backfill story Status: fields from sprint-status.yaml
-# - Don't run sync (sprint-status.yaml is source of truth)
-
-# Option B: Trust story Status: fields (if recently updated)
-# - Run sync to update sprint-status.yaml
-pnpm sync:sprint-status
-
-# Option C: Manual audit (when both are uncertain)
-# - Review SPRINT-STATUS-AUDIT-2026-01-02.md
-# - Check git commits for completion evidence
-# - Manually correct both files
-```
-
----
-
-## 🧪 TESTING
-
-### Test 1: Validate Current State
-```bash
-pnpm validate:sprint-status
-# Should exit 0 if in sync, exit 1 if discrepancies
-```
-
-### Test 2: Dry Run (No Changes)
-```bash
-pnpm sync:sprint-status:dry-run
-# Shows what WOULD change without applying
-```
-
-### Test 3: Apply Sync
-```bash
-pnpm sync:sprint-status
-# Updates sprint-status.yaml, creates backup
-```
-
-### Test 4: CI/CD Simulation
-```bash
-# Simulate PR validation
-.github/workflows/validate-sprint-status.yml
-# (Run via act or GitHub Actions)
-```
-
----
-
-## 📊 METRICS & MONITORING
-
-### How to Check Sprint Health
-
-**Check 1: Discrepancy Count**
-```bash
-pnpm sync:sprint-status:dry-run 2>&1 | grep "discrepancies"
-# Should show: "0 discrepancies" if healthy
-```
-
-**Check 2: Last Verification Timestamp**
-```bash
-head -5 docs/sprint-artifacts/sprint-status.yaml | grep last_verified
-# Should be within last 24 hours
-```
-
-**Check 3: Stories Missing Status: Fields**
-```bash
-grep -L "^Status:" docs/sprint-artifacts/*.md | wc -l
-# Should decrease over time as stories get Status: fields
-```
-
-### Alerts to Set Up (Future)
-
-- ⚠️ If last_verified > 7 days old → Manual audit recommended
-- ⚠️ If discrepancy count > 10 → Investigate why sync not running
-- ⚠️ If stories without Status: > 50 → Backfill campaign needed
-
----
-
-## 🎓 BEST PRACTICES
-
-### For Story Creators
-1. Always use `/create-story` workflow (adds to sprint-status.yaml automatically)
-2. Never create story .md files manually
-3. Always include Status: field in story template
-
-### For Story Implementers
-1. Use `/dev-story` workflow (updates both Status: and sprint-status.yaml)
-2. If manually updating Status: field, run `pnpm sync:sprint-status` after
-3. Before marking "done", verify sprint-status.yaml reflects your work
-
-### For Autonomous Workflows
-1. autonomous-epic workflow now includes sprint-status.yaml updates
-2. Verifies updates persisted after each story
-3. Logs failures but continues (doesn't halt entire epic for tracking issues)
-
-### For Code Reviewers
-1. Check that PR includes sprint-status.yaml update if stories changed
-2. Verify CI/CD validation passes
-3. If validation fails, request sync before approving
-

-# Manually add to sprint-status.yaml under correct epic
-vim docs/sprint-artifacts/sprint-status.yaml
-# Add line: story-id: ready-for-dev
-
-# Or re-run create-story workflow
-/create-story
-```
-
-### Issue: "sprint-status.yaml update failed to persist"
-
-**Cause:** File system permissions or concurrent writes
-**Fix:**
-```bash
-# Check file permissions
-ls -la docs/sprint-artifacts/sprint-status.yaml
-
-# Check for file locks
-lsof | grep sprint-status.yaml
-
-# Manual update if needed
-vim docs/sprint-artifacts/sprint-status.yaml
-```
-
-### Issue: "85 discrepancies found"
-
-**Cause:** Story Status: fields not updated after completion
-**Fix:**
-```bash
-# Review discrepancies
-pnpm sync:sprint-status:dry-run
-
-# Apply updates (will update sprint-status.yaml to match story files)
-pnpm sync:sprint-status
-
-# If story files are WRONG (Status: ready-for-dev but actually done):
-# Manually update story Status: fields first
-# Then run sync
-```
-

-# Autonomous Epic Processing
-
-**"Do Epic 4 for me" - Full automation of epic completion**
-
-## What It Does
-
-Autonomous epic processing combines just-in-time planning with automated development:
-
-```
-/autonomous-epic 2
-
-→ Creates Story 2.1 → Develops with super-dev-story → Commits → Done ✅
-→ Creates Story 2.2 → Develops with super-dev-story → Commits → Done ✅
-→ Creates Story 2.3 → Develops with super-dev-story → Commits → Done ✅
-...
-→ Entire Epic 2 complete! 🎉
-```
-
-## How It Works
-
-```
-┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
-│ Autonomous Epic Processor │
-│ │
-│ For each story in epic (sequential): │
-│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
-│ │ 1. create-story (just-in-time planning) │ │
-│ │ ↓ │ │
-│ │ 2. super-dev-story (or dev-story) │ │
-│ │ ├─ Pre-dev gap analysis │ │
-│ │ ├─ Development (TDD) │ │
-│ │ ├─ Post-dev gap analysis (super-dev only) │ │
-│ │ ├─ Code review (super-dev only) │ │
-│ │ └─ Fix issues │ │
-│ │ ↓ │ │
-│ │ 3. Git commit │ │
-│ │ ↓ │ │
-│ │ 4. Save progress │ │
-│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
-│ │
-│ Epic completion report generated │
-└──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-```bash
-# Load any BMAD agent
-/autonomous-epic
-
-# Will prompt for epic number:
-Enter epic number: 2
-
-# Or provide directly:
-/autonomous-epic epic-2
-```
-
-### With Defaults
-
-```bash
-/autonomous-epic 3
-
-# Uses default settings:
-# ✅ super-dev-story (comprehensive quality)
-# ✅ Auto-accept gap analysis
-# ✅ Create git commits
-# ✅ Continue on errors
-```
-
-### With Custom Settings
-
-```bash
-/autonomous-epic 3
-
-# When prompted:
-[C] Custom settings
-
-# Then configure:
-# - dev-story or super-dev-story?
-# - Auto-accept gap analysis?
-# - Create git commits?
-# - Halt on error or continue?
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Default Settings (workflow.yaml)
-
-```yaml
-autonomous_settings:
- use_super_dev: true # Use super-dev-story (vs dev-story)
- auto_accept_gap_analysis: true # Auto-approve gap analysis
- halt_on_error: false # Continue even if story fails
- max_retry_per_story: 2 # Retry failed stories
- create_git_commits: true # Commit after each story
- git_branch_prefix: "auto-epic-" # Branch: auto-epic-{epic_num}
-```
-
-### Per-Epic Override
-
-```yaml
-# In sprint-status.yaml or epic frontmatter
-epic-3:
- autonomous_settings:
- use_super_dev: false # Use dev-story (faster)
- halt_on_error: true # Stop on first failure
-```
-
-## Time & Cost Estimates
-
-### Time per Story
-
-| Workflow | Avg Time per Story | Token Usage |
-|----------|-------------------|-------------|
-| **dev-story** | 20-40 minutes | 50K-100K |
-| **super-dev-story** | 25-50 minutes | 80K-150K |
-
-### Epic Estimates
-
-| Epic Size | Time (dev-story) | Time (super-dev) | Tokens |
-|-----------|-----------------|------------------|--------|
-| Small (3-5 stories) | 1-3 hours | 2-4 hours | 250K-750K |
-| Medium (6-10 stories) | 2-7 hours | 3-8 hours | 500K-1.5M |
-| Large (11-20 stories) | 4-13 hours | 5-17 hours | 1M-3M |
-
-**Recommendation:** Run overnight for large epics
-

-```
-
-## Progress Tracking
-
-### Progress File
-
-Autonomous epic maintains state in `.autonomous-epic-progress.yaml`:
-
-```yaml
-epic_num: 2
-started: 2025-01-18T10:00:00Z
-total_stories: 8
-completed_stories:
- - 2-1-user-registration
- - 2-2-user-login
-failed_stories: []
-current_story: 2-3-password-reset
-status: running
-```
-
-### Resume from Interruption
-
-If interrupted (crash, manual stop, timeout):
-
-```bash
-/autonomous-epic 2
-
-# Detects existing progress file
-# Shows: "Found in-progress epic processing. Resume? [Y/n]"
-# Continues from last completed story
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Story Failures
-
-**With `halt_on_error: false` (default):**
-```
-Story 2.3 fails
-→ Logged in failed_stories
-→ Continue to Story 2.4
-→ Report failures at end
-```
-
-**With `halt_on_error: true`:**
-```
-Story 2.3 fails
-→ Stop processing immediately
-→ Report error
-→ User fixes manually
-→ Resume from Story 2.3
-```
-
-### Retry Logic
-
-Each story gets {{max_retry_per_story}} attempts (default: 2):
-
-```
-Story 2.5 fails
-→ Retry 1/2: Attempt again
-→ Retry 2/2: Attempt again
-→ Max retries: Mark failed, continue to next story
-```
-
-## Git Integration
-
-### Automatic Branching
-
-```bash
-# Autonomous epic creates:
-Branch: auto-epic-{epic_num}
-
-# Example:
-/autonomous-epic 3
-→ Creates branch: auto-epic-3
-```
-
-### Commits per Story
-
-Each story gets its own commit:
-
-```
-feat(epic-2): complete story 2-1-user-registration
-feat(epic-2): complete story 2-2-user-login
-feat(epic-2): complete story 2-3-password-reset
-...
-```
-
-### Merge When Done
-
-```bash
-# After autonomous epic completes:
-git checkout main
-git merge auto-epic-2
-
-# Or create PR:
-gh pr create --base main --head auto-epic-2 --title "Epic 2: User Management"
-```

-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Epic Sizing
-
-**Recommended epic sizes:**
-- **Small (3-5 stories):** Can complete in single session
-- **Medium (6-10 stories):** Overnight processing ideal
-- **Large (11+ stories):** Consider breaking into sub-epics
-
-### 2. Choosing dev-story vs super-dev-story
-
-**Use super-dev-story for:**
-- Security-critical epics
-- Customer-facing features
-- Complex business logic
-- High-stakes production releases
-
-**Use dev-story for:**
-- Internal tools
-- Experimental features
-- Non-critical improvements
-- When speed matters more than extra validation
-
-### 3. Monitoring Progress
-
-```bash
-# In another terminal, watch progress:
-watch -n 10 'cat docs/sprint-artifacts/.autonomous-epic-progress.yaml'
-
-# Or tail completion report:
-tail -f docs/sprint-artifacts/epic-2-completion-report.md
-```
-
-### 4. Interruption Handling
-
-**Safe to interrupt:**
-- Ctrl+C between stories (progress saved)
-- Terminal disconnect (can resume)
-- Timeout (restarts from last completed)
-
-**Not safe to interrupt:**
-- During story development (may leave partial work)
-- During git commit (may corrupt repository)
-
-### 5. Resource Management
-
-**Token budgets:**
-- Set LLM API limits to prevent runaway costs
-- Monitor token usage in real-time
-- Consider using dev-story for token savings
-
-**Time management:**
-- Run overnight for large epics
-- Schedule during low-activity periods
-- Use CI/CD for completely automated runs
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "Autonomous epic stuck on one story"
-
-**Cause:** Story has issues preventing completion
-**Solution:**
-- Check progress file for current_story
-- Review that story's dev log
-- May need manual intervention
-
-### "Epic processing stopped mid-story"
-
-**Cause:** Interruption during development
-**Solution:**
-- Check progress file status
-- Resume with `/autonomous-epic {epic_num}`
-- May need to manually clean up partial work
-
-### "Too many token failures"
-
-**Cause:** Hitting API rate limits
-**Solution:**
-- Reduce concurrent processing
-- Use dev-story instead of super-dev-story
-- Increase API tier/limits
-
-### "Git merge conflicts after autonomous epic"
-
-**Cause:** Other changes merged to main during processing
-**Solution:**
-- Rebase auto-epic branch on latest main
-- Resolve conflicts manually
-- This is expected for long-running processes
-
-## Safety Features
-
-### Max Retry Protection
-
-Prevents infinite loops:
-- Each story: max 2 retries (default)
-- After max retries: skip to next story
-- Report failures at end
-
-### Progress Checkpoints
-
-After each story:
-- Progress file updated
-- Git commit created (if enabled)
-- Can resume from this point
-
-### Fail-Safe Modes
-
-```yaml
-# Conservative (halt on first problem):
-halt_on_error: true
-max_retry_per_story: 0
-
-# Aggressive (push through everything):
-halt_on_error: false
-max_retry_per_story: 3
-
-# Balanced (default):
-halt_on_error: false
-max_retry_per_story: 2
-```
-
-## Use Cases
-
-### Use Case 1: Overnight Epic Completion
-
-```bash
-# Before leaving office:
-/autonomous-epic 4
-
-# Next morning:
-# → Epic 100% complete
-# → All stories developed
-# → All commits created
-# → Ready for review
-```
-
-### Use Case 2: CI/CD Integration
-
-```bash
-# In GitHub Actions:
-name: Auto Epic Processing
-on:
- workflow_dispatch:
- inputs:
- epic_number:
- required: true
-
-jobs:
- process-epic:
- steps:
- - run: npx bmad-method@alpha autonomous-epic ${{ inputs.epic_number }}
-```
-
-### Use Case 3: Sprint Automation
-
-```bash
-# Monday: Plan all epics for sprint
-/sprint-planning
-
-# Tuesday: Auto-process Epic 1
-/autonomous-epic 1
-
-# Wednesday: Auto-process Epic 2
-/autonomous-epic 2
-
-# Thursday-Friday: Human review and merge
-```
-
-## Comparison to Manual Processing
-
-### Manual Workflow
-
-```
-Day 1: Create Story 2.1 → Review → Approve (30m)
-Day 2: Develop Story 2.1 → Test → Review → Fix → Done (4h)
-Day 3: Create Story 2.2 → Review → Approve (30m)
-Day 4: Develop Story 2.2 → Test → Review → Fix → Done (3h)
-...
-
-8 stories = 16 days minimum (with human bottlenecks)
-```
-
-### Autonomous Workflow
-
-```
-Day 1 (evening): /autonomous-epic 2
-Day 2 (morning): Epic complete, review ready
-
-8 stories = 6 hours machine time + 1-2 days human review
-```
-
-**Savings:** ~14 days, 90% reduction in calendar time
-
-## Limitations
-
-### What Autonomous Epic CAN'T Do
-
-- **Complex requirement clarifications** - Needs human for ambiguous requirements
-- **Architectural decisions** - Major tech choices need human input
-- **UX design decisions** - Visual/interaction design needs human creativity
-- **Business logic validation** - Domain expertise often needs human verification
-
-### When to Use Manual Processing
-
-- First epic in new project (learning patterns)
-- Experimental features (high uncertainty)
-- Stories requiring extensive research
-- Complex integrations with unknowns
-
-## Monitoring Output
-
-### Real-Time Progress
-
-```bash
-# Terminal output shows:
-Story 3/8: 2-3-password-reset
- Pre-gap: ✅ 2 tasks refined
- Development: ⏳ 2/6 tasks complete
- ...
-```
-
-### Progress File
-
-```bash
-# Check progress programmatically:
-cat docs/sprint-artifacts/.autonomous-epic-progress.yaml
-
-# Example:
-epic_num: 2
-status: running
-completed_stories: [2-1-user-registration, 2-2-user-login]
-current_story: 2-3-password-reset
-```
-
-### Completion Report
-
-```bash
-# Generated when epic completes:
-cat docs/sprint-artifacts/epic-2-completion-report.md
-```
-
-## Advanced: Batch Epic Processing
-
-Process multiple epics:
-
-```bash
-# Sequential processing:
-/autonomous-epic 1
-/autonomous-epic 2
-/autonomous-epic 3
-
-# Or create meta-workflow for parallel processing
-```
-
-## FAQ
-
-### Q: Can I stop autonomous processing mid-epic?
-
-**A:** Yes, Ctrl+C between stories. Progress saved. Resume with `/autonomous-epic {num}`
-
-### Q: What if a story fails?
-
-**A:** Logged in failed_stories. By default, continues to next story. Fix manually later.
-
-### Q: Does this work with existing stories?
-
-**A:** Yes! Picks up any ready-for-dev or in-progress stories and develops them.
-
-### Q: Can I customize per story?
-
-**A:** Not currently. All stories in epic use same settings. Manual development for custom needs.
-
-### Q: What about dependencies between stories?
-
-**A:** Stories processed sequentially, so Story 2.2 can leverage Story 2.1's code (gap analysis handles this!)
-
-### Q: Token budget concerns?
-
-**A:** Use dev-story instead of super-dev-story to reduce token usage by ~30%

-# Autonomous Epic Processing v2.0
-
-**"Do Epic 4 for me" - Full automation of epic completion with anti-vibe-coding enforcement**
-
-## What It Does
-
-Autonomous epic processing combines just-in-time planning with disciplined automated development:
-
-```
-/autonomous-epic 2
-
-→ Creates Story 2.1 (if backlog) → super-dev-pipeline → Commits → Done ✅
-→ Develops Story 2.2 → super-dev-pipeline → Commits → Done ✅
-→ Develops Story 2.3 → super-dev-pipeline → Commits → Done ✅
-...
-→ Entire Epic 2 complete! 🎉
-```
-
-## How It Works
-
-```
-┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
-│ Autonomous Epic Processor v2.0 │
-│ │
-│ For each story in epic (sequential): │
-│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
-│ │ 1. create-story (if backlog) │ │
-│ │ ↓ │ │
-│ │ 2. super-dev-pipeline (step-file discipline) │ │
-│ │ ├─ Pre-gap analysis (validate existing) │ │
-│ │ ├─ Adaptive implementation (TDD/refactor) │ │
-│ │ ├─ Post-validation (catch false positives)│ │
-│ │ ├─ Code review (find 3-10 issues) │ │
-│ │ └─ Complete (commit + push) │ │
-│ │ ↓ │ │
-│ │ 3. Verify completion (task-based) │ │
-│ │ ↓ │ │
-│ │ 4. Save progress │ │
-│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
-│ │
-│ Epic completion report generated │
-└──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-```bash
-# Load any BMAD agent
-/autonomous-epic
-
-# Will prompt for epic number:
-Enter epic number: 2
-
-# Or provide directly:
-/autonomous-epic epic-2
-```
-
-### With Defaults
-
-```bash
-/autonomous-epic 3
-
-# Uses default settings:
-# ✅ super-dev-story (comprehensive quality)
-# ✅ Auto-accept gap analysis
-# ✅ Create git commits
-# ✅ Continue on errors
-```
-
-### With Custom Settings
-
-```bash
-/autonomous-epic 3
-
-# When prompted:
-[C] Custom settings
-
-# Then configure:
-# - dev-story or super-dev-story?
-# - Auto-accept gap analysis?
-# - Create git commits?
-# - Halt on error or continue?
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Default Settings (workflow.yaml)
-
-```yaml
-autonomous_settings:
- use_super_dev_pipeline: true # Use super-dev-pipeline (step-file discipline)
- pipeline_mode: "batch" # Batch mode for autonomous execution
- halt_on_error: false # Continue even if story fails
- max_retry_per_story: 2 # Retry failed stories
- create_git_commits: true # Commit after each story
- git_branch_prefix: "auto-epic-" # Branch: auto-epic-{epic_num}
-
-# super-dev-pipeline features
-super_dev_pipeline_features:
- token_efficiency: "40-60K per story (vs 100-150K)"
- works_for: "Both greenfield AND brownfield"
- anti_vibe_coding: "Step-file architecture prevents deviation"
- brownfield_support: "Validates existing code before implementation"
-
-# Task-based completion verification
-completion_verification:
- task_based_completion: true # Check actual tasks, not just status
- process_review_with_unchecked: true # Process "review" stories with unchecked tasks
- process_done_with_unchecked: true # Process "done" stories if tasks remain
- verify_after_development: true # Re-check after each story
- strict_epic_completion: true # Epic only done when ALL tasks complete
-```
-
-### Task-Based Completion (Important!)
-
-**The autonomous epic workflow now uses TASK-BASED completion**, not just status-based:
-
-| What Changed | Old Behavior | New Behavior |
-|--------------|--------------|--------------|
-| "review" status | ⏭️ Skipped | ✅ Processed if unchecked tasks exist |
-| "done" status | ⏭️ Skipped | ✅ Verified, processed if tasks remain |
-| Completion check | Status-based | Task-based (count `- [ ]`) |
-| Epic marked done | When all stories "done" | When ALL tasks `- [x]` |
-
-**Why this matters:** Code reviews often add new tasks (CR-1, CR-2, etc.) that need implementation. The old workflow would skip these stories because they were marked "review". Now we scan for actual unchecked tasks.
-
-```
-📊 Epic 4 Status (Task-Based Analysis)
-
-By Actual Task Completion:
-- ✅ Truly Done: 0 (all tasks checked, will skip)
-- 🔧 Needs Work: 7 (has unchecked tasks)
- 4-1: 6 unchecked (CR tasks)
- 4-2: 4 unchecked (original work)
- 4-3: 7 unchecked (CR tasks)
- ...
-- 📝 Backlog: 0 (will create + develop)
-```
-
-### Per-Epic Override
-
-```yaml
-# In sprint-status.yaml or epic frontmatter
-epic-3:
- autonomous_settings:
- use_super_dev: false # Use dev-story (faster)
- halt_on_error: true # Stop on first failure
-```
-
-## Time & Cost Estimates (v2.0)
-
-### Time per Story
-
-| Workflow | Avg Time per Story | Token Usage |
-|----------|-------------------|-------------|
-| **super-dev-pipeline** (default) | 20-45 minutes | 40K-60K |
-| story-pipeline (greenfield only) | 15-30 minutes | 25K-30K |
-| super-dev-story (legacy) | 25-50 minutes | 100K-150K |
-
-### Epic Estimates (using super-dev-pipeline)
-
-| Epic Size | Time Estimate | Token Estimate |
-|-----------|--------------|----------------|
-| Small (3-5 stories) | 2-5 hours | 120K-300K |
-| Medium (6-10 stories) | 5-10 hours | 400K-600K |
-| Large (11-20 stories) | 10-20 hours | 880K-1.2M |
-
-**Savings vs v1.0:** ~50% token reduction, ~25% time reduction
-
-**Recommendation:** Run overnight for large epics
-

-
-## Progress Tracking
-
-### Progress File
-
-Autonomous epic maintains state in `.autonomous-epic-{{epic_num}}-progress.yaml`:
-
-> **Note:** Each epic gets its own tracking file to support parallel epic processing.
-> For example: `.autonomous-epic-02-progress.yaml` for epic 02.
->
-> **Backwards Compatibility:** The workflow checks for both the new format
-> (`.autonomous-epic-02-progress.yaml`) and legacy format
-> (`.autonomous-epic-progress-epic-02.yaml`) when looking for existing progress files.
-
-```yaml
-epic_num: 2
-started: 2025-01-18T10:00:00Z
-total_stories: 8
-completed_stories:
- - 2-1-user-registration
- - 2-2-user-login
-failed_stories: []
-current_story: 2-3-password-reset
-status: running
-```
-
-### Resume from Interruption
-
-If interrupted (crash, manual stop, timeout):
-
-```bash
-/autonomous-epic 2
-
-# Detects existing progress file
-# Shows: "Found in-progress epic processing. Resume? [Y/n]"
-# Continues from last completed story
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Story Failures
-
-**With `halt_on_error: false` (default):**
-```
-Story 2.3 fails
-→ Logged in failed_stories
-→ Continue to Story 2.4
-→ Report failures at end
-```
-
-**With `halt_on_error: true`:**
-```
-Story 2.3 fails
-→ Stop processing immediately
-→ Report error
-→ User fixes manually
-→ Resume from Story 2.3
-```
-
-### Retry Logic
-
-Each story gets {{max_retry_per_story}} attempts (default: 2):
-
-```
-Story 2.5 fails
-→ Retry 1/2: Attempt again
-→ Retry 2/2: Attempt again
-→ Max retries: Mark failed, continue to next story
-```
-
-## Git Integration
-
-### Automatic Branching
-
-```bash
-# Autonomous epic creates:
-Branch: auto-epic-{epic_num}
-
-# Example:
-/autonomous-epic 3
-→ Creates branch: auto-epic-3
-```
-
-### Commits per Story
-
-Each story gets its own commit:
-
-```
-feat(epic-2): complete story 2-1-user-registration
-feat(epic-2): complete story 2-2-user-login
-feat(epic-2): complete story 2-3-password-reset
-...
-```
-
-### Merge When Done
-
-```bash
-# After autonomous epic completes:
-git checkout main
-git merge auto-epic-2
-
-# Or create PR:
-gh pr create --base main --head auto-epic-2 --title "Epic 2: User Management"
-```

-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Epic Sizing
-
-**Recommended epic sizes:**
-- **Small (3-5 stories):** Can complete in single session
-- **Medium (6-10 stories):** Overnight processing ideal
-- **Large (11+ stories):** Consider breaking into sub-epics
-
-### 2. Choosing dev-story vs super-dev-story
-
-**Use super-dev-story for:**
-- Security-critical epics
-- Customer-facing features
-- Complex business logic
-- High-stakes production releases
-
-**Use dev-story for:**
-- Internal tools
-- Experimental features
-- Non-critical improvements
-- When speed matters more than extra validation
-
-### 3. Monitoring Progress
-
-```bash
-# In another terminal, watch progress:
-watch -n 10 'cat _bmad-output/implementation-artifacts/.autonomous-epic-progress.yaml'
-
-# Or tail completion report:
-tail -f _bmad-output/implementation-artifacts/epic-2-completion-report.md
-```
-
-### 4. Interruption Handling
-
-**Safe to interrupt:**
-- Ctrl+C between stories (progress saved)
-- Terminal disconnect (can resume)
-- Timeout (restarts from last completed)
-
-**Not safe to interrupt:**
-- During story development (may leave partial work)
-- During git commit (may corrupt repository)
-
-### 5. Resource Management
-
-**Token budgets:**
-- Set LLM API limits to prevent runaway costs
-- Monitor token usage in real-time
-- Consider using dev-story for token savings
-
-**Time management:**
-- Run overnight for large epics
-- Schedule during low-activity periods
-- Use CI/CD for completely automated runs
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "Autonomous epic stuck on one story"
-
-**Cause:** Story has issues preventing completion
-**Solution:**
-- Check progress file for current_story
-- Review that story's dev log
-- May need manual intervention
-
-### "Epic processing stopped mid-story"
-
-**Cause:** Interruption during development
-**Solution:**
-- Check progress file status
-- Resume with `/autonomous-epic {epic_num}`
-- May need to manually clean up partial work
-
-### "Too many token failures"
-
-**Cause:** Hitting API rate limits
-**Solution:**
-- Reduce concurrent processing
-- Use dev-story instead of super-dev-story
-- Increase API tier/limits
-
-### "Git merge conflicts after autonomous epic"
-
-**Cause:** Other changes merged to main during processing
-**Solution:**
-- Rebase auto-epic branch on latest main
-- Resolve conflicts manually
-- This is expected for long-running processes
-
-## Safety Features
-
-### Max Retry Protection
-
-Prevents infinite loops:
-- Each story: max 2 retries (default)
-- After max retries: skip to next story
-- Report failures at end
-
-### Progress Checkpoints
-
-After each story:
-- Progress file updated
-- Git commit created (if enabled)
-- Can resume from this point
-
-### Fail-Safe Modes
-
-```yaml
-# Conservative (halt on first problem):
-halt_on_error: true
-max_retry_per_story: 0
-
-# Aggressive (push through everything):
-halt_on_error: false
-max_retry_per_story: 3
-
-# Balanced (default):
-halt_on_error: false
-max_retry_per_story: 2
-```
-
-## Use Cases
-
-### Use Case 1: Overnight Epic Completion
-
-```bash
-# Before leaving office:
-/autonomous-epic 4
-
-# Next morning:
-# → Epic 100% complete
-# → All stories developed
-# → All commits created
-# → Ready for review
-```
-
-### Use Case 2: CI/CD Integration
-
-```bash
-# In GitHub Actions:
-name: Auto Epic Processing
-on:
- workflow_dispatch:
- inputs:
- epic_number:
- required: true
-
-jobs:
- process-epic:
- steps:
- - run: npx bmad-method@alpha autonomous-epic ${{ inputs.epic_number }}
-```
-
-### Use Case 3: Sprint Automation
-
-```bash
-# Monday: Plan all epics for sprint
-/sprint-planning
-
-# Tuesday: Auto-process Epic 1
-/autonomous-epic 1
-
-# Wednesday: Auto-process Epic 2
-/autonomous-epic 2
-
-# Thursday-Friday: Human review and merge
-```
-
-## Comparison to Manual Processing
-
-### Manual Workflow
-
-```
-Day 1: Create Story 2.1 → Review → Approve (30m)
-Day 2: Develop Story 2.1 → Test → Review → Fix → Done (4h)
-Day 3: Create Story 2.2 → Review → Approve (30m)
-Day 4: Develop Story 2.2 → Test → Review → Fix → Done (3h)
-...
-
-8 stories = 16 days minimum (with human bottlenecks)
-```
-
-### Autonomous Workflow
-
-```
-Day 1 (evening): /autonomous-epic 2
-Day 2 (morning): Epic complete, review ready
-
-8 stories = 6 hours machine time + 1-2 days human review
-```
-
-**Savings:** ~14 days, 90% reduction in calendar time
-
-## Limitations
-
-### What Autonomous Epic CAN'T Do
-
-- **Complex requirement clarifications** - Needs human for ambiguous requirements
-- **Architectural decisions** - Major tech choices need human input
-- **UX design decisions** - Visual/interaction design needs human creativity
-- **Business logic validation** - Domain expertise often needs human verification
-
-### When to Use Manual Processing
-
-- First epic in new project (learning patterns)
-- Experimental features (high uncertainty)
-- Stories requiring extensive research
-- Complex integrations with unknowns
-
-## Monitoring Output
-
-### Real-Time Progress
-
-```bash
-# Terminal output shows:
-Story 3/8: 2-3-password-reset
- Pre-gap: ✅ 2 tasks refined
- Development: ⏳ 2/6 tasks complete
- ...
-```
-
-### Progress File
-
-```bash
-# Check progress programmatically:
-cat _bmad-output/implementation-artifacts/.autonomous-epic-progress.yaml
-
-# Example:
-epic_num: 2
-status: running
-completed_stories: [2-1-user-registration, 2-2-user-login]
-current_story: 2-3-password-reset
-```
-
-### Completion Report
-
-```bash
-# Generated when epic completes:
-cat _bmad-output/implementation-artifacts/epic-2-completion-report.md
-```
-
-## Advanced: Batch Epic Processing
-
-Process multiple epics:
-
-```bash
-# Sequential processing:
-/autonomous-epic 1
-/autonomous-epic 2
-/autonomous-epic 3
-
-# Or create meta-workflow for parallel processing
-```
-
-## FAQ
-
-### Q: Can I stop autonomous processing mid-epic?
-
-**A:** Yes, Ctrl+C between stories. Progress saved. Resume with `/autonomous-epic {num}`
-
-### Q: What if a story fails?
-
-**A:** Logged in failed_stories. By default, continues to next story. Fix manually later.
-
-### Q: Does this work with existing stories?
-
-**A:** Yes! Picks up any ready-for-dev or in-progress stories and develops them.
-
-### Q: Can I customize per story?
-
-**A:** Not currently. All stories in epic use same settings. Manual development for custom needs.
-
-### Q: What about dependencies between stories?
-
-**A:** Stories processed sequentially, so Story 2.2 can leverage Story 2.1's code (gap analysis handles this!)
-
-### Q: Token budget concerns?
-
-**A:** Use dev-story instead of super-dev-story to reduce token usage by ~30%

- Load {{sprint_status}} file
- Find epic-{{epic_num}} entry and all story entries for this epic
-
-
- For each story in epic:
- 1. Read the story file from {{story_dir}}/{{story_key}}.md
- 2. Check file exists (if missing, mark story as "backlog")
- 3. Check file size (if <10KB, flag as poor quality)
- 4. Count unchecked tasks: grep -c "^- \[ \]" or regex match "- \[ \]"
- 5. Count checked tasks: grep -c "^- \[x\]" or regex match "- \[x\]"
- 6. Count total tasks (unchecked + checked)
- 7. Calculate completion rate: (checked / total * 100)
- 8. Categorize story:
- - "truly_done": unchecked_tasks=0 AND file_size>=10KB AND total_tasks>=5
- - "in_progress": unchecked_tasks>0 AND checked_tasks>0
- - "ready_for_dev": unchecked_tasks=total_tasks (nothing checked yet)
- - "poor_quality": file_size<10KB OR total_tasks<5 (needs regeneration)
- - "needs_work": unchecked_tasks > 0 (regardless of status)
- - "backlog": status=backlog (file may not exist yet)

-
- Check for existing progress file:
- 1. New format: .autonomous-epic-{{epic_num}}-progress.yaml
- 2. Legacy format: .autonomous-epic-progress-epic-{{epic_num}}.yaml
- Set {{progress_file_path}} to whichever exists, or new format if neither exist

- 🔄 STORY LOOP - Create and develop each story until ALL tasks complete
-
- Build ordered list of stories needing work:
- 1. All stories with unchecked tasks (regardless of status)
- 2. All backlog stories
- 3. Sort by story number (ascending)
-
- Initialize counters: success=0, failure=0
-
-
-
- Set {{current_story}}
- Read story file from {{story_dir}}/{{current_story.key}}.md
-
-
-
- Mark story as "backlog" in sprint-status.yaml
- Continue to next story
-
-
- Get file size in KB
- Count unchecked tasks: grep -c "^- \[ \]"
- Count checked tasks: grep -c "^- \[x\]"
- Count total tasks
- Calculate completion_rate = (checked / total * 100)
-
-
-
-
-
- Determine correct status:
- IF unchecked_tasks == 0 AND file_size >= 10KB AND total_tasks >= 5
- → correct_status = "done"
- ELSE IF unchecked_tasks > 0 AND checked_tasks > 0
- → correct_status = "in-progress"
- ELSE IF unchecked_tasks == total_tasks
- → correct_status = "ready-for-dev"
- ELSE IF file_size < 10KB OR total_tasks < 5
- → correct_status = "ready-for-dev" (needs regeneration)
-
-
- Update story status in sprint-status.yaml to {{correct_status}}

- Full lifecycle: pre-gap → implement (batched) → post-validate → review → commit
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Re-read story file and count unchecked tasks
-
-
-
- Log incomplete tasks for review
- Mark as partial success

-
-
- Update progress file status to complete: {{progress_file_path}}
-
-
-
-
- Re-scan all epic stories for unchecked tasks
- Calculate: total_remaining_tasks across all stories
