Major Enhancements:

- Installation path is now fully configurable, allowing users to specify custom installation directories during setup
  - Default installation location changed to .bmad (hidden directory) for cleaner project root organization

    Web Bundle Improvements:

    - All web bundles (single agent and team) now include party mode support for multi-agent collaboration!
    - Advanced elicitation capabilities integrated into standalone agents
    - All bundles enhanced with party mode agent manifests
    - Added default-party.csv files to bmm, bmgd, and cis module teams
    - The default party file is what will be used with single agent bundles. teams can customize for different party configurations before web bundling through a setting in the team yaml file
    - New web bundle outputs for all agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, tech-writer, ux-designer, game-*, creative-squad)

    Phase 4 Workflow Updates (In Progress):

    - Initiated shift to separate phase 4 implementation artifacts from documentation
        - Phase 4 implementation artifacts (stories, code review, sprint plan, context files) will move to dedicated location outside docs folder
        - Installer questions and configuration added for artifact path selection
        - Updated workflow.yaml files for code-review, sprint-planning, story-context, epic-tech-context, and retrospective workflows to support this, but still might require some udpates

    Additional Changes:

    - New agent and action command header models for standardization
    - Enhanced web-bundle-activation-steps fragment
    - Updated web-bundler.js to support new structure
    - VS Code settings updated for new .bmad directory
    - Party mode instructions and workflow enhanced for better orchestration

   IDE Installer Updates:

    - Show version number of installer in cli
    - improved Installer UX
    - Gemini TOML Improved to have clear loading instructions with @ commands
    - All tools agent launcher mds improved to use a central file template critical indication isntead of hardcoding in 2 different locations.

+# Audit Workflow - Validation Checklist
+
+## Structure
+
+- [ ] workflow.yaml file loads without YAML syntax errors
+- [ ] instructions.md file exists and is properly formatted
+- [ ] template.md file exists (if document workflow) with valid markdown
+- [ ] All critical headers present in instructions (workflow engine reference, workflow.yaml reference)
+- [ ] Workflow type correctly identified (document/action/interactive/autonomous/meta)
+- [ ] All referenced files actually exist at specified paths
+- [ ] No placeholder text remains (like {TITLE}, {WORKFLOW_CODE}, TODO, etc.)
+
+## Standard Config Block
+
+- [ ] workflow.yaml contains `config_source` pointing to correct module config
+- [ ] `output_folder` pulls from `{config_source}:output_folder`
+- [ ] `user_name` pulls from `{config_source}:user_name`
+- [ ] `communication_language` pulls from `{config_source}:communication_language`
+- [ ] `date` is set to `system-generated`
+- [ ] Config source uses {project-root} variable (not hardcoded path)
+- [ ] Standard config comment present: "Critical variables from config"
+
+## Config Variable Usage
+
+- [ ] Instructions communicate in {communication_language} where appropriate
+- [ ] Instructions address {user_name} in greetings or summaries where appropriate
+- [ ] All file outputs write to {output_folder} or subdirectories (no hardcoded paths)
+- [ ] Template includes {{user_name}} in metadata (optional for document workflows)
+- [ ] Template includes {{date}} in metadata (optional for document workflows)
+- [ ] Template does NOT use {{communication_language}} in headers (agent-only variable)
+- [ ] No hardcoded language-specific text that should use {communication_language}
+- [ ] Date used for agent date awareness (not confused with training cutoff)
+
+## YAML/Instruction/Template Alignment
+
+- [ ] Every workflow.yaml variable (excluding standard config) is used in instructions OR template
+- [ ] No unused yaml fields present (bloat removed)
+- [ ] No duplicate fields between top-level and web_bundle section
+- [ ] All template variables ({{variable}}) have corresponding yaml definitions OR <template-output> tags
+- [ ] All <template-output> tags have corresponding template variables (if document workflow)
+- [ ] Template variables use snake_case naming convention
+- [ ] Variable names are descriptive (not abbreviated like {{puj}} instead of {{primary_user_journey}})
+- [ ] No hardcoded values in instructions that should be yaml variables
+
+## Web Bundle Validation (if applicable)
+
+- [ ] web_bundle section present if workflow needs deployment
+- [ ] All paths in web_bundle use .bmad/-relative format (NOT {project-root})
+- [ ] No {config_source} variables in web_bundle section
+- [ ] instructions file listed in web_bundle_files array
+- [ ] template file listed in web_bundle_files (if document workflow)
+- [ ] validation/checklist file listed in web_bundle_files (if exists)

+- [ ] All <invoke-workflow> called workflows have their .yaml files in web_bundle_files
+- [ ] **CRITICAL**: If workflow invokes other workflows, existing_workflows field is present
+- [ ] existing_workflows maps workflow variables to .bmad/-relative paths correctly
+- [ ] All files referenced in instructions <action> tags listed in web_bundle_files
+- [ ] No files listed in web_bundle_files that don't exist
+- [ ] Web bundle metadata (name, description, author) matches top-level metadata
+
+## Template Validation (if document workflow)
+
+- [ ] Template variables match <template-output> tags in instructions exactly
+- [ ] All required sections present in template structure
+- [ ] Template uses {{variable}} syntax (double curly braces)
+- [ ] Template variables use snake_case (not camelCase or PascalCase)
+- [ ] Standard metadata header format correct (optional usage of {{date}}, {{user_name}})
+- [ ] No placeholders remain in template (like {SECTION_NAME})
+- [ ] Template structure matches document purpose
+
+## Instructions Quality
+
+- [ ] Each step has n="X" attribute with sequential numbering
+- [ ] Each step has goal="clear goal statement" attribute
+- [ ] Optional steps marked with optional="true"
+- [ ] Repeating steps have appropriate repeat attribute (repeat="3", repeat="for-each-X", repeat="until-approved")
+- [ ] Conditional steps have if="condition" attribute
+- [ ] XML tags used correctly (<action>, <ask>, <check>, <goto>, <invoke-workflow>, <template-output>)
+- [ ] No nested tag references in content (use "action tags" not "<action> tags")
+- [ ] Tag references use descriptive text without angle brackets for clarity
+- [ ] No conditional execution antipattern (no self-closing <check> tags)
+- [ ] Single conditionals use <action if="condition"> (inline)
+- [ ] Multiple conditionals use <check if="condition">...</check> (wrapper block with closing tag)
+- [ ] Steps are focused (single goal per step)
+- [ ] Instructions are specific with limits ("Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about")
+- [ ] Examples provided where helpful
+- [ ] <template-output> tags save checkpoints for document workflows
+- [ ] Flow control is logical and clear
+
+## Bloat Detection
+
+- [ ] Bloat percentage under 10% (unused yaml fields / total fields)
+- [ ] No commented-out variables that should be removed
+- [ ] No duplicate metadata between sections
+- [ ] No variables defined but never referenced
+- [ ] No redundant configuration that duplicates web_bundle

+    - Search for file write operations
+    - Verify all outputs go to {output_folder} or subdirectories
+    - Check for hardcoded paths like "/output/" or "/generated/"
+
+    **Date Usage Check:**
+
+    - Verify date is available for agent date awareness
+    - Check optional usage in template metadata
+    - Ensure no confusion between date and model training cutoff
+
+    **Nested Tag Reference Check:**
+
+    - Search for XML tag references within tags (e.g., `<action>Scan for <action> tags</action>`)
+    - Identify patterns like: `<tag-name> tags`, `<tag-name> calls`, `<tag-name>content</tag-name>` within content
+    - Common problematic tags to check: action, ask, check, template-output, invoke-workflow, goto
+    - Flag any instances where angle brackets appear in content describing tags
+
+    **Best Practice:** Use descriptive text without brackets (e.g., "action tags" instead of "<action> tags")
+
+    **Rationale:**
+
+    - Prevents XML parsing ambiguity
+    - Improves readability for humans and LLMs
+    - LLMs understand "action tags" = `<action>` tags from context
+
+    **Conditional Execution Antipattern Check:**
+
+    - Scan for self-closing check tags: `<check>condition text</check>` (invalid antipattern)
+    - Detect pattern: check tag on one line, followed by action/ask/goto tags (indicates incorrect nesting)
+    - Flag sequences like: `<check>If X:</check>` followed by `<action>do Y</action>`
+
+    **Correct Patterns:**
+
+    - Single conditional: `<action if="condition">Do something</action>`
+    - Multiple actions: `<check if="condition">` followed by nested actions with closing `</check>` tag
+
+    **Antipattern Example (WRONG):**
+    ```xml
+    <check>If condition met:</check>
+    <action>Do something</action>
+    ```
+
+    **Correct Example:**
+    ```xml
+    <check if="condition met">
+      <action>Do something</action>
+      <action>Do something else</action>
+    </check>
+    ```
+
+    **Or for single action:**
+    ```xml
+    <action if="condition met">Do something</action>
+    ```
+
+    <action>Scan instructions.md for nested tag references using pattern: &lt;(action|ask|check|template-output|invoke-workflow|invoke-task|goto|step)&gt; within text content</action>
+    <action>Record any instances of nested tag references with line numbers</action>
+    <action>Scan instructions.md for conditional execution antipattern: self-closing check tags</action>
+    <action>Detect pattern: `&lt;check&gt;.*&lt;/check&gt;` on single line (self-closing check)</action>
+    <action>Record any antipattern instances with line numbers and suggest corrections</action>
+    <action>Record any improper config variable usage</action>

+# Convert Legacy Workflow
+
+## Overview
+
+The Convert Legacy workflow is a comprehensive migration tool that converts BMAD v4 items (agents, workflows, modules) to v6 compliant format with proper structure and conventions. It bridges the gap between legacy BMAD implementations and the modern v6 architecture, ensuring seamless migration while preserving functionality and improving structure.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Multi-Format Detection** - Automatically identifies v4 agents, workflows, tasks, templates, and modules
+- **Intelligent Conversion** - Smart mapping from v4 patterns to v6 equivalents with structural improvements
+- **Sub-Workflow Integration** - Leverages create-agent, create-workflow, and create-module workflows for quality output
+- **Structure Modernization** - Converts YAML-based agents to XML, templates to workflows, tasks to structured workflows
+- **Path Normalization** - Updates all references to use proper v6 path conventions
+- **Validation System** - Comprehensive validation of converted items before finalization
+- **Migration Reporting** - Detailed conversion reports with locations and manual adjustment notes
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Invocation
+
+```bash
+workflow convert-legacy
+```
+
+### With Legacy File Input
+
+```bash
+# Convert a specific v4 item
+workflow convert-legacy --input /path/to/legacy-agent.md
+```
+
+### With Legacy Module
+
+```bash
+# Convert an entire v4 module structure
+workflow convert-legacy --input /path/to/legacy-module/
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+The workflow uses standard BMB configuration:
+
+- **output_folder**: Where converted items will be placed
+- **user_name**: Author information for converted items
+- **conversion_mappings**: v4-to-v6 pattern mappings (optional)
+
+## Workflow Structure
+
+### Files Included
+
+```
+convert-legacy/
+├── workflow.yaml           # Configuration and metadata
+├── instructions.md         # Step-by-step conversion guide
+├── checklist.md           # Validation criteria
+└── README.md              # This file
+```
+
+## Workflow Process
+
+### Phase 1: Legacy Analysis (Steps 1-3)
+
+**Item Identification and Loading**
+
+- Accepts file path or directory from user
+- Loads complete file/folder structure for analysis
+- Automatically detects item type based on content patterns:
+  - **Agents**: Contains `<agent>` or `<prompt>` XML tags
+  - **Workflows**: Contains workflow YAML or instruction patterns
+  - **Modules**: Contains multiple organized agents/workflows
+  - **Tasks**: Contains `<task>` XML tags
+  - **Templates**: Contains YAML-based document generators
+
+**Legacy Structure Analysis**
+
+- Parses v4 structure and extracts key components
+- Maps v4 agent metadata (name, id, title, icon, persona)
+- Analyzes v4 template sections and elicitation patterns
+- Identifies task workflows and decision trees
+- Catalogs dependencies and file references
+
+**Target Module Selection**
+
+- Prompts for target module (bmm, bmb, cis, custom)
+- Determines proper installation paths using v6 conventions
+- Shows target location for user confirmation
+- Ensures all paths use `{project-root}/.bmad/` format
+
+### Phase 2: Conversion Strategy (Step 4)
+
+**Strategy Selection Based on Item Type**
+
+- **Simple Agents**: Direct XML conversion with metadata mapping
+- **Complex Agents**: Workflow-assisted creation using create-agent
+- **Templates**: Template-to-workflow conversion with proper structure
+- **Tasks**: Task-to-workflow conversion with step mapping
+- **Modules**: Full module creation using create-module workflow
+
+**Workflow Type Determination**
+
+- Analyzes legacy items to determine v6 workflow type:
+  - **Document Workflow**: Generates documents with templates
+  - **Action Workflow**: Performs actions without output documents
+  - **Interactive Workflow**: Guides user interaction sessions
+  - **Meta-Workflow**: Coordinates other workflows
+
+### Phase 3: Conversion Execution (Steps 5a-5e)
+
+**Direct Agent Conversion (5a)**
+
+- Transforms v4 YAML agent format to v6 XML structure
+- Maps persona blocks (role, style, identity, principles)
+- Converts commands list to v6 `<cmds>` format
+- Updates task references to workflow invocations
+- Normalizes all paths to v6 conventions
+
+**Workflow-Assisted Creation (5b-5e)**
+
+- Extracts key information from legacy items
+- Invokes appropriate sub-workflows:
+  - `create-agent` for complex agent creation
+  - `create-workflow` for template/task conversion
+  - `create-module` for full module migration
+- Ensures proper v6 structure and conventions
+
+**Template-to-Workflow Conversion (5c)**
+
+- Converts YAML template sections to workflow steps
+- Maps `elicit: true` flags to `<invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml</invoke-task>` tags
+- Transforms conditional sections to flow control
+- Creates proper template.md from content structure
+- Integrates v4 create-doc.md task patterns
+
+**Task-to-Workflow Conversion (5e)**
+
+- Analyzes task purpose to determine workflow type
+- Extracts step-by-step instructions to workflow steps
+- Converts decision trees to flow control tags
+- Maps 1-9 elicitation menus to v6 elicitation patterns
+- Preserves execution logic and critical notices
+
+### Phase 4: Validation and Finalization (Steps 6-8)
+
+**Comprehensive Validation**
+
+- Validates XML structure for agents
+- Checks YAML syntax for workflows
+- Verifies template variable consistency
+- Ensures proper file structure and naming
+
+**Migration Reporting**
+
+- Generates detailed conversion report
+- Documents original and new locations
+- Notes manual adjustments needed
+- Provides warnings and recommendations
+
+**Cleanup and Archival**
+
+- Optional archival of original v4 files
+- Final location confirmation
+- Post-conversion instructions and next steps
+
+## Output
+
+### Generated Files
+
+- **Converted Items**: Proper v6 format in target module locations
+- **Migration Report**: Detailed conversion documentation
+- **Validation Results**: Quality assurance confirmation
+
+### Output Structure
+
+Converted items follow v6 conventions:
+
+1. **Agents** - XML format with proper persona and command structure
+2. **Workflows** - Complete workflow folders with yaml, instructions, and templates
+3. **Modules** - Full module structure with installation infrastructure
+4. **Documentation** - Updated paths, references, and metadata
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **Legacy v4 Items** - Source files or directories to convert
+- **Target Module Access** - Write permissions to target module directories
+- **Sub-Workflow Availability** - create-agent, create-workflow, create-module workflows accessible
+- **Conversion Mappings** (optional) - v4-to-v6 pattern mappings for complex conversions
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Before Starting
+
+1. **Backup Legacy Items** - Create copies of original v4 files before conversion
+2. **Review Target Module** - Understand target module structure and conventions
+3. **Plan Module Organization** - Decide where converted items should logically fit
+
+### During Execution
+
+1. **Validate Item Type Detection** - Confirm automatic detection or correct manually
+2. **Choose Appropriate Strategy** - Use workflow-assisted creation for complex items
+3. **Review Path Mappings** - Ensure all references use proper v6 path conventions
+4. **Test Incrementally** - Convert simple items first to validate process
+
+### After Completion
+
+1. **Validate Converted Items** - Test agents and workflows for proper functionality
+2. **Review Migration Report** - Address any manual adjustments noted
+3. **Update Documentation** - Ensure README and documentation reflect changes
+4. **Archive Originals** - Store v4 files safely for reference if needed
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Issue**: Item type detection fails or incorrect
+
+- **Solution**: Manually specify item type when prompted
+- **Check**: Verify file structure matches expected v4 patterns
+
+**Issue**: Path conversion errors
+
+- **Solution**: Ensure all references use `{project-root}/.bmad/` format
+- **Check**: Review conversion mappings for proper path patterns
+
+**Issue**: Sub-workflow invocation fails
+
+- **Solution**: Verify build workflows are available and accessible
+- **Check**: Ensure target module exists and has proper permissions
+
+**Issue**: XML or YAML syntax errors in output
+
+- **Solution**: Review conversion mappings and adjust patterns
+- **Check**: Validate converted files with appropriate parsers
+

+
+## Examples
+
+### Creating a Code Review Agent
+
+```
+User: I need a code review agent
+Builder: Let's brainstorm first...
+
+[Brainstorming generates ideas for strict vs friendly reviewer]
+
+Builder: Now let's build your agent:
+- Type: Simple
+- Name: Code Reviewer
+- Role: Senior developer conducting thorough reviews
+- Style: Professional but approachable
+- Commands:
+  - *review-pr: Review pull request
+  - *review-file: Review single file
+  - *review-standards: Check coding standards
+```
+
+### Creating a Domain Expert
+
+```
+Type: Expert
+Name: Legal Advisor
+Sidecar: legal-knowledge/
+Commands:
+  - *contract-review
+  - *compliance-check
+  - *risk-assessment
+```

+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use brainstorming** for complex agents
+2. **Start simple** - Add commands incrementally
+3. **Test commands** before finalizing
+4. **Document thoroughly** in descriptions
+5. **Follow naming conventions** consistently

+- `title` - Professional title (e.g., "Business Analyst", "Security Engineer")
+- `icon` - Single emoji representing the agent
+
+### Core Sections
+
+#### 1. Persona Section (REQUIRED)
+
+```xml
+<persona>
+  <role>1-2 sentences: Professional title and primary expertise, use first-person voice</role>
+  <identity>2-5 sentences: Background, experience, specializations, use first-person voice</identity>
+  <communication_style>1-3 sentences: Interaction approach, tone, quirks, use first-person voice</communication_style>
+  <principles>2-5 sentences: Core beliefs, methodology, philosophy, use first-person voice</principles>
+</persona>
+```
+
+**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
+<critical-actions>
+  <i>Load into memory {project-root}/.bmad/{module}/config.yaml and set variables</i>
+  <i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
+  <i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
+  <!-- Custom initialization actions -->
+</critical-actions>
+```
+
+**For Expert Agents with Sidecars (CRITICAL):**
+
+```xml
+<critical-actions>
+  <!-- CRITICAL: Load sidecar files FIRST -->
+  <i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md and follow ALL directives</i>
+  <i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md into permanent context</i>
+  <i critical="MANDATORY">You MUST follow all rules in instructions.md on EVERY interaction</i>
+
+  <!-- Standard initialization -->
+  <i>Load into memory {project-root}/.bmad/{module}/config.yaml and set variables</i>
+  <i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
+  <i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
+
+  <!-- Domain restrictions -->
+  <i>ONLY read/write files in {user-folder}/diary/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS</i>
+</critical-actions>
+```
+
+**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
+<menu>
+  <item cmd="*trigger" [attributes]>Description</item>
+</menu>
+```
+
+**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
+<activation critical="true">
+  <initialization critical="true" sequential="MANDATORY">
+    <step n="1">Load configuration</step>
+    <step n="2">Apply overrides</step>
+    <step n="3">Execute critical actions</step>
+    <step n="4" critical="BLOCKING">Show greeting with menu</step>
+    <step n="5" critical="BLOCKING">AWAIT user input</step>
+  </initialization>
+  <command-resolution critical="true">
+    <rule>Numeric input → Execute command at cmd_map[n]</rule>
+    <rule>Text input → Fuzzy match against commands</rule>
+  </command-resolution>
+</activation>
+```
+
+### Expert Agent Sidecar Pattern
+
+```xml
+<!-- DO NOT use sidecar-resources tag - Instead use critical-actions -->
+<!-- Sidecar files MUST be loaded explicitly in critical-actions -->
+
+<!-- Example Expert Agent with Diary domain -->
+<agent id="diary-keeper" name="Personal Assistant" title="Diary Keeper" icon="📔">
+  <critical-actions>
+    <!-- MANDATORY: Load all sidecar files -->
+    <i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/diary-rules.md</i>
+    <i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/user-memories.md</i>
+    <i critical="MANDATORY">Follow ALL rules from diary-rules.md</i>
+
+    <!-- Domain restriction -->
+    <i critical="MANDATORY">ONLY access files in {user-folder}/diary/</i>
+    <i critical="MANDATORY">NEVER access files outside diary folder</i>
+  </critical-actions>
+
+  <persona>...</persona>
+  <menu>...</menu>
+</agent>
+```
+
+### Module Agent Integration
+
+```xml
+<module-integration>
+  <module-path>{project-root}/.bmad/{module-code}</module-path>
+  <config-source>{module-path}/config.yaml</config-source>
+  <workflows-path>{project-root}/.bmad/{module-code}/workflows</workflows-path>
+</module-integration>
+```
+
+## 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/{module}/agents/
+Bad:  /absolute/path/to/agents/
+Bad:  ../../../relative/paths/
+```
+
+## Command Patterns
+
+### Workflow Commands
+
+```xml
+<!-- Full path -->
+<item cmd="*create-prd" run-workflow="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
+  Create Product Requirements Document
+</item>
+
+<!-- Placeholder for future -->
+<item cmd="*analyze" run-workflow="todo">
+  Perform analysis (workflow to be created)
+</item>
+```
+
+### Task Commands
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*validate" exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml">
+  Validate document
+</item>
+```
+
+### Template Commands
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*brief"
+   exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
+   tmpl="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/templates/brief.md">
+  Create project brief
+</item>
+```
+
+### Data-Driven Commands
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*standup"
+   exec="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/tasks/daily-standup.xml"
+   data="{project-root}/.bmad/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv">
+  Run daily standup
+</item>
+```
+
+## 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
+- Memory/context files
+- Good for specialized domains
+
+### Module Agent
+
+- Full integration with module
+- Multiple workflows and tasks
+- Config-driven behavior
+- Good for professional tools
+
+## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
+
+### ❌ Bad Practices
+
+```xml
+<!-- Missing required persona elements -->
+<persona>
+  <role>Helper</role>
+  <!-- Missing identity, style, principles -->
+</persona>
+
+<!-- Hard-coded paths -->
+<item cmd="*run" exec="/Users/john/project/task.md">
+
+<!-- No help command -->
+<menu>
+  <item cmd="*do-something">Action</item>
+  <!-- Missing *help -->
+</menu>
+
+<!-- Duplicate command triggers -->
+<item cmd="*analyze">First</item>
+<item cmd="*analyze">Second</item>
+```
+
+### ✅ Good Practices
+
+```xml
+<!-- Complete persona -->
+<persona>
+  <role>Data Analysis Expert</role>
+  <identity>Senior analyst with 10+ years...</identity>
+  <communication_style>Analytical and precise...</communication_style>
+  <principles>I believe in data-driven...</principles>
+</persona>
+
+<!-- Variable-based paths -->
+<item cmd="*run" exec="{project-root}/.bmad/module/task.md">
+
+<!-- Required commands present -->
+<menu>
+  <item cmd="*help">Show commands</item>
+  <item cmd="*analyze">Perform analysis</item>
+  <item cmd="*exit">Exit</item>
+</menu>
+```
+
+## Agent Lifecycle
+
+### 1. Initialization
+
+1. Load agent file
+2. Parse XML structure
+3. Load critical-actions
+4. Apply config overrides
+5. Present greeting
+
+### 2. Command Loop
+
+1. Show numbered menu
+2. Await user input
+3. Resolve command
+4. Execute action
+5. Return to menu
+
+### 3. Termination
+
+1. User enters \*exit
+2. Cleanup if needed
+3. Exit persona
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+Before deploying an agent:
+
+- [ ] Valid XML structure
+- [ ] All persona elements present
+- [ ] *help and *exit commands exist
+- [ ] All paths use variables
+- [ ] No duplicate commands
+- [ ] Config loading works
+- [ ] Commands execute properly
+
+## LLM Building Tips
+
+When building agents:
+
+1. Start with agent type (Simple/Expert/Module)
+2. Define complete persona first
+3. Add standard critical-actions
+4. Include *help and *exit
+5. Add domain commands
+6. Test command execution
+7. Validate with checklist
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### With Workflows
+
+- 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
+<menu>
+  <item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
+  <item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
+</menu>
+```
+
+### Standard Critical Actions
+
+```xml
+<critical-actions>
+  <i>Load into memory {project-root}/.bmad/{module}/config.yaml</i>
+  <i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
+  <i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
+</critical-actions>
+```
+
+### Module Agent Pattern
+
+```xml
+<agent id=".bmad/{module}/agents/{name}.md"
+       name="{Name}"
+       title="{Title}"
+       icon="{emoji}">
+  <persona>...</persona>
+  <critical-actions>...</critical-actions>
+  <menu>
+    <item cmd="*help">...</item>
+    <item cmd="*{command}" run-workflow="{path}">...</item>
+    <item cmd="*exit">...</item>
+  </menu>
+</agent>
+```

+# 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
+<!-- Pattern 1: Inline action -->
+<item cmd="*example" action="do this specific thing">Description</item>
+→ Execute the text "do this specific thing" directly
+
+<!-- Pattern 2: Internal reference with # prefix -->
+<item cmd="*example" action="#prompt-id">Description</item>
+→ Find <prompt id="prompt-id"> in the current agent and execute its content
+
+<!-- Pattern 3: External file reference -->
+<item cmd="*example" exec="{project-root}/path/to/file.md">Description</item>
+→ 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
+<menu>
+  <item cmd="*trigger" [attributes]>Description</item>
+</menu>
+```
+
+**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
+<!-- Standard workflow -->
+<item cmd="*create-prd"
+     run-workflow="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
+  Create Product Requirements Document
+</item>
+
+<!-- Workflow with validation -->
+<item cmd="*validate-prd"
+     validate-workflow="{output_folder}/prd-draft.md"
+     workflow="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
+  Validate PRD Against Checklist
+</item>
+
+<!-- Auto-discover validation workflow from document -->
+<item cmd="*validate-doc"
+     validate-workflow="{output_folder}/document.md">
+  Validate Document (auto-discover checklist)
+</item>
+
+<!-- Placeholder for future development -->
+<item cmd="*analyze-data"
+     run-workflow="todo">
+  Analyze dataset (workflow coming soon)
+</item>
+```
+
+**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
+<!-- Simple task -->
+<item cmd="*validate"
+   exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml">
+  Validate document against checklist
+</item>
+
+<!-- Task with data -->
+<item cmd="*standup"
+   exec="{project-root}/.bmad/mmm/tasks/daily-standup.xml"
+   data="{project-root}/.bmad/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv">
+  Run agile team standup
+</item>
+```
+
+**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
+<item cmd="*brief"
+   exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
+   tmpl="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/templates/brief.md">
+  Produce Project Brief
+</item>
+
+<item cmd="*competitor-analysis"
+   exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
+   tmpl="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/templates/competitor.md"
+   data="{project-root}/.bmad/_data/market-research.csv">
+  Produce Competitor Analysis
+</item>
+```
+
+### 4. Meta Commands
+
+Agent control and information
+
+```xml
+<!-- Required meta commands -->
+<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
+<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
+
+<!-- Optional meta commands -->
+<item cmd="*yolo">Toggle Yolo Mode</item>
+<item cmd="*status">Show current status</item>
+<item cmd="*config">Show configuration</item>
+```
+
+### 5. Action Commands
+
+Direct prompts embedded in commands (Simple agents)
+
+#### Simple Action (Inline)
+
+```xml
+<!-- Short action attribute with embedded prompt -->
+<item cmd="*list-tasks"
+   action="list all tasks from {project-root}/.bmad/_cfg/task-manifest.csv">
+  List Available Tasks
+</item>
+
+<item cmd="*summarize"
+   action="summarize the key points from the current document">
+  Summarize Document
+</item>
+```
+
+#### Complex Action (Referenced)
+
+For multiline/complex prompts, define them separately and reference by id:
+
+```xml
+<agent name="Research Assistant">
+  <!-- Define complex prompts as separate nodes -->
+  <prompts>
+    <prompt id="deep-analysis">
+      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.
+    </prompt>
+
+    <prompt id="literature-review">
+      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.
+    </prompt>
+  </prompts>
+
+  <!-- Commands reference the prompts by id -->
+  <menu>
+    <item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
+
+    <item cmd="*deep-analyze"
+       action="#deep-analysis">
+      <!-- The # means: use the <prompt id="deep-analysis"> defined above -->
+      Perform Deep Analysis
+    </item>
+
+    <item cmd="*review-literature"
+       action="#literature-review"
+       data="{project-root}/.bmad/_data/sources.csv">
+      Conduct Literature Review
+    </item>
+
+    <item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
+  </menu>
+</agent>
+```
+
+**Reference Convention:**
+
+- `action="#prompt-id"` means: "Find and execute the <prompt> 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 `<prompt id="some-id">` 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
+<!-- No exec/run-workflow/action attribute -->
+<item cmd="*calculate">Perform calculation</item>
+<item cmd="*convert">Convert format</item>
+<item cmd="*generate">Generate output</item>
+```
+
+## Command Naming Conventions
+
+### Action-Based Naming
+
+```xml
+*create-    <!-- Generate new content -->
+*build-     <!-- Construct components -->
+*analyze-   <!-- Examine and report -->
+*validate-  <!-- Check correctness -->
+*generate-  <!-- Produce output -->
+*update-    <!-- Modify existing -->
+*review-    <!-- Examine quality -->
+*test-      <!-- Verify functionality -->
+```
+
+### Domain-Based Naming
+
+```xml
+*brainstorm      <!-- Creative ideation -->
+*architect       <!-- Design systems -->
+*refactor        <!-- Improve code -->
+*deploy          <!-- Release to production -->
+*monitor         <!-- Watch systems -->
+```
+
+### Naming Anti-Patterns
+
+```xml
+<!-- ❌ Too vague -->
+<item cmd="*do">Do something</item>
+
+<!-- ❌ Too long -->
+<item cmd="*create-comprehensive-product-requirements-document-with-analysis">

+</item>
+```
+
+## Module-Specific Patterns
+
+### BMM (Business Management)
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*create-prd">Product Requirements</item>
+<item cmd="*market-research">Market Research</item>
+<item cmd="*competitor-analysis">Competitor Analysis</item>
+<item cmd="*brief">Project Brief</item>
+```
+
+### BMB (Builder)
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*create-agent">Build Agent</item>
+<item cmd="*create-module">Build Module</item>
+<item cmd="*create-workflow">Create Workflow</item>
+<item cmd="*module-brief">Module Brief</item>
+```
+
+### CIS (Creative Intelligence)
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*brainstorm">Brainstorming Session</item>
+<item cmd="*ideate">Ideation Workshop</item>
+<item cmd="*storytell">Story Creation</item>
+```
+
+## Command Menu Presentation
+
+### How Commands Display
+
+```
+1. *help - Show numbered cmd list
+2. *create-prd - Create Product Requirements Document
+3. *create-agent - Build new BMAD agent
+4. *validate - Validate document
+5. *exit - Exit with confirmation
+```
+
+### Menu Customization
+
+```xml
+<!-- Group separator (visual only) -->
+<item cmd="---">━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━</item>
+
+<!-- Section header (non-executable) -->
+<item cmd="SECTION">═══ Workflows ═══</item>
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Missing Resources
+
+```xml
+<!-- Workflow not yet created -->
+<item cmd="*future-feature"
+   run-workflow="todo">
+  Coming soon: Advanced feature
+</item>
+
+<!-- Graceful degradation -->
+<item cmd="*analyze"
+   run-workflow="{optional-path|fallback-path}">
+  Analyze with available tools
+</item>
+```
+
+## 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
+<!-- Create document -->
+<item cmd="*{action}-{object}"
+   run-workflow="{project-root}/.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/workflow.yaml">
+  {Action} {Object Description}
+</item>
+
+<!-- Validate document -->
+<item cmd="*validate-{object}"
+   validate-workflow="{output_folder}/{document}.md"
+   workflow="{project-root}/.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/workflow.yaml">
+  Validate {Object Description}
+</item>
+```
+
+### Task Command
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*{action}"
+   exec="{project-root}/.bmad/{module}/tasks/{task}.md">
+  {Action Description}
+</item>
+```
+
+### Template Command
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*{document}"
+   exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
+   tmpl="{project-root}/.bmad/{module}/templates/{template}.md">
+  Create {Document Name}
+</item>
+```
+
+## 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
+<agent id=".bmad/research/agents/analyst.md" name="Research Analyst" icon="🔬">
+  <!-- Embedded prompt library -->
+  <prompts>
+    <prompt id="swot-analysis">
+      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.
+    </prompt>
+
+    <prompt id="competitive-intel">
+      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
+    </prompt>
+  </prompts>
+
+  <menu>
+    <item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
+
+    <!-- Simple inline actions -->
+    <item cmd="*summarize"
+       action="create executive summary of findings">
+      Create Executive Summary
+    </item>
+
+    <!-- Complex referenced prompts -->
+    <item cmd="*swot"
+       action="#swot-analysis">
+      Perform SWOT Analysis
+    </item>
+
+    <item cmd="*compete"
+       action="#competitive-intel"
+       data="{project-root}/.bmad/_data/market-data.csv">
+      Analyze Competition
+    </item>
+
+    <!-- Hybrid: external task with internal data -->
+    <item cmd="*report"
+       exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
+       tmpl="{project-root}/.bmad/research/templates/report.md">
+      Generate Research Report
+    </item>
+
+    <item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
+  </menu>
+</agent>
+```
+
+## Simple Agent Example
+
+For agents that primarily use embedded logic:
+
+```xml
+<agent name="Data Analyst">
+  <menu>
+    <item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
+
+    <!-- Action commands for direct operations -->
+    <item cmd="*list-metrics"
+       action="list all available metrics from the dataset">
+      List Available Metrics
+    </item>
+
+    <item cmd="*analyze"
+       action="perform statistical analysis on the provided data"
+       data="{project-root}/.bmad/_data/dataset.csv">
+      Analyze Dataset
+    </item>
+
+    <item cmd="*visualize"
+       action="create visualization recommendations for this data">
+      Suggest Visualizations
+    </item>
+
+    <!-- Embedded logic commands -->
+    <item cmd="*calculate">Perform calculations</item>
+    <item cmd="*interpret">Interpret results</item>
+
+    <item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
+  </menu>
+</agent>
+```
+
+## 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/agents/`:
+
+```
+.bmad/agents/
+├── my-helper/                   # Simple agent
+│   ├── my-helper.agent.yaml     # Agent definition

+
+### 3. Module Agent
+
+**Purpose:** Full-featured agents belonging to a module with access to workflows and resources
+
+**Location:** `.bmad/{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: '📋'
+    module: 'bmm'
+    type: 'module'
+  persona:
+    role: 'Product Management Expert'
+    identity: '...'
+    communication_style: '...'
+    principles: ['...']
+  critical_actions:
+    - 'Load config from {project-root}/.bmad/{module}/config.yaml'
+  menu:
+    - trigger: create-prd
+      workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml'
+      description: 'Create PRD'
+    - trigger: validate
+      exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml'
+      description: 'Validate document'
+```
+
+**XML Structure (built):**
+
+```xml
+<agent id=".bmad/bmm/agents/pm.md" name="John" title="Product Manager" icon="📋">
+  <persona>
+    <role>Product Management Expert</role>
+    <identity>...</identity>
+    <communication_style>...</communication_style>
+    <principles>...</principles>
+  </persona>
+  <critical-actions>
+    <i>Load config from {project-root}/.bmad/{module}/config.yaml</i>
+  </critical-actions>
+  <menu>
+    <item cmd="*help">Show numbered menu</item>
+    <item cmd="*create-prd" run-workflow="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">Create PRD</item>
+    <item cmd="*validate" exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml">Validate document</item>
+    <item cmd="*exit">Exit</item>
+  </menu>
+</agent>
+```
+
+## 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 → Expert Agent → 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

+# Agent Brainstorming Context
+
+_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD agent_
+
+## 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.
+
+## What is a BMAD Agent?
+
+An agent is an AI persona that embodies:
+
+- **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)
+
+## Brainstorming Goals
+
+Explore and define:
+
+### 1. Agent Identity and Personality
+
+- **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)
+
+### 2. Expertise and Capabilities
+
+- **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. Commands and Actions
+
+- **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)
+
+### 4. Agent Type and Context
+
+- **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
+
+## Creative Constraints
+
+A great BMAD agent should be:
+
+- **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
+
+## Agent Personality Dimensions
+
+### Communication Styles
+
+- **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")
+
+### Expertise Archetypes
+
+- **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
+
+## Agent Command Patterns
+
+Every agent needs:
+
+- `*help` - Show available commands
+- `*exit` - Clean exit with confirmation
+
+Common command types:
+
+- **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`
+
+## Agent Type Decision Tree
+
+**Choose Simple Agent if:**
+
+- Standalone utility (calculator, formatter, picker)
+- No persistent data needed
+- Self-contained logic
+- Quick, focused task
+
+**Choose Expert Agent if:**
+
+- Domain-specific expertise
+- Needs memory/context files
+- Sidecar data folder
+- Personal/private domain (diary, journal)
+
+**Choose Module Agent if:**
+
+- Part of larger system
+- Coordinates with other agents
+- Invokes module workflows
+- Team member role
+
+## Example Agent Concepts
+
+### Professional Agents
+
+- **Sarah the Data Analyst**: Crunches numbers, creates visualizations, finds insights
+- **Max the DevOps Captain**: Deploys apps, monitors systems, troubleshoots issues
+- **Luna the Researcher**: Dives deep into topics, synthesizes findings, creates reports
+
+### Creative Agents
+
+- **Zephyr the Story Weaver**: Crafts narratives, develops characters, builds worlds
+- **Nova the Music Muse**: Composes melodies, suggests arrangements, provides feedback
+- **Atlas the World Builder**: Creates game worlds, designs systems, generates content
+
+### Personal Agents
+
+- **Coach Riley**: Tracks goals, provides motivation, celebrates wins
+- **Mentor Morgan**: Guides learning, asks questions, challenges thinking
+- **Keeper Quinn**: Maintains diary, preserves memories, reflects on growth
+
+## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
+
+Particularly effective for agent creation:
+
+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
+
+## Key Questions to Answer
+
+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?
+
+## Output Goals
+
+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
+- **Use cases**: 3-5 scenarios where this agent shines
+- **Agent type**: Simple/Expert/Module with rationale

+# Build Agent Validation Checklist (YAML Agents)
+
+## Agent Structure Validation
+
+### YAML Structure
+
+- [ ] YAML parses without errors
+- [ ] `agent.metadata` includes: `id`, `name`, `title`, `icon`, `module`
+- [ ] `agent.persona` exists with role, identity, communication_style, and principles
+- [ ] `agent.menu` exists with at least one item
+
+### Core Components
+
+- [ ] `metadata.id` points to final compiled path: `.bmad/{{module}}/agents/{{agent}}.md`
+- [ ] `metadata.module` matches the module folder (e.g., `bmm`, `bmb`, `cis`)
+- [ ] Principles are an array (preferred) or string with clear values
+
+## Persona Completeness
+
+- [ ] Role clearly defines primary expertise area (1–2 lines)
+- [ ] Identity includes relevant background and strengths (3–5 lines)
+- [ ] Communication style gives concrete guidance (3–5 lines)
+- [ ] Principles present and meaningful (no placeholders)
+
+## Menu Validation
+
+- [ ] Triggers do not start with `*` (auto-prefixed during build)
+- [ ] Each item has a `description`
+- [ ] Handlers use valid attributes (`workflow`, `exec`, `tmpl`, `data`, `action`)
+- [ ] Paths use `{project-root}` or valid variables
+- [ ] No duplicate triggers
+
+## Optional Sections
+
+- [ ] `prompts` defined when using `action: "#id"`
+- [ ] `critical_actions` present if custom activation steps are needed
+- [ ] Customize file (if created) located at `{project-root}/.bmad/_cfg/agents/{{module}}-{{agent}}.customize.yaml`
+
+## Build Verification

+# Agent Communication Styles Guide
+
+## The Power of Personality
+
+Agents with distinct communication styles are more memorable, engaging, and fun to work with. A good quirk makes the agent feel alive!
+
+## Style Categories
+
+### 🎬 Cinema and TV Inspired
+
+**Film Noir Detective**
+
+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?
+
+### 🎮 Gaming and Pop Culture
+
+**Dungeon Master**
+
+_rolls dice_ You encounter a wild NullPointerException! It has 15 HP and an armor class of 12.
+What do you do? You can: 1 Try-catch block (defensive spell), 2 Debug (investigation check),
+3 Console.log everything (barbarian rage). Choose wisely, adventurer!
+
+**Speedrunner**
+
+Alright chat, we're going for the any% world record refactor!
+Frame-perfect optimization incoming! If we clip through this abstraction layer
+we can save 3ms on every API call. LET'S GOOOO!
+
+### 🌍 Cultural Archetypes
+
+**British Butler**
+
+I've taken the liberty of organizing your imports alphabetically, sir/madam.
+Might I suggest a spot of refactoring with your afternoon tea?
+The code coverage report is ready for your perusal at your convenience.
+Very good, sir/madam.
+
+**Zen Master**
+
+The bug you seek is not in the code, but in the assumption.
+Empty your cache, as you would empty your mind.
+When the test passes, it makes no sound.
+Be like water - async and flowing.
+
+**Southern Hospitality**
+
+Well bless your heart, looks like you've got yourself a little bug there!
+Don't you worry none, we'll fix it up real nice.
+Can I get you some sweet tea while we debug?
+Y'all come back now if you need more help!
+
+### 🔬 Professional Personas
+
+**McKinsey Consultant**
+
+Let me break this down into three key buckets.
+First, we need to align on the strategic imperatives.
+Second, we'll leverage best practices to drive synergies.
+Third, we'll action items to move the needle. Net-net: significant value-add.
+
+**Startup Founder**
+
+Okay so basically we're going to disrupt the entire way you write code!
+This is going to be HUGE! We're talking 10x productivity gains!
+Let's move fast and break things! Well... let's move fast and fix things!
+We're not just writing code, we're changing the world!
+
+### 🎭 Character Quirks
+
+**Overcaffeinated Developer**
+
+OH WOW OKAY SO - _sips coffee_ - WE HAVE A BUG BUT ITS FINE ITS TOTALLY FINE
+I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO _types at 200wpm_ JUST NEED TO REFACTOR EVERYTHING
+WAIT NO ACTUALLY _more coffee_ I HAVE A BETTER IDEA! Have you tried... TYPESCRIPT?!
+
+**Dad Joke Enthusiast**
+
+Why did the developer go broke? Because he used up all his cache!
+_chuckles at own joke_
+Speaking of cache, let's clear yours and see if that fixes the issue.
+I promise my debugging skills are better than my jokes! ...I hope!
+
+### 🚀 Sci-Fi and Space
+
+**Star Trek Officer**
+
+Captain's Log, Supplemental: The anomaly in the codebase appears to be a temporal loop
+in the async function. Mr. Data suggests we reverse the polarity of the promise chain.
+Number One, make it so. Engage debugging protocols on my mark.
+_taps combadge_ Engineering, we need more processing power!
+Red Alert! All hands to debugging stations!
+
+**Star Trek Engineer**
+
+Captain, I'm givin' her all she's got! The CPU cannae take much more!
+If we push this algorithm any harder, the whole system's gonna blow!
+_frantically typing_ I can maybe squeeze 10% more performance if we
+reroute power from the console.logs to the main execution thread!
+
+### 📺 TV Drama
+
+**Soap Opera Dramatic**
+
+_turns dramatically to camera_
+This function... I TRUSTED it! We had HISTORY together - three commits worth!
+But now? _single tear_ It's throwing exceptions behind my back!
+_grabs another function_ YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS BUG ALL ALONG, DIDN'T YOU?!
+_dramatic music swells_ I'LL NEVER IMPORT YOU AGAIN!
+
+**Reality TV Confessional**
+
+_whispering to camera in confessional booth_
+Okay so like, that Array.sort() function? It's literally SO toxic.
+It mutates IN PLACE. Who does that?! I didn't come here to deal with side effects!
+_applies lip gloss_ I'm forming an alliance with map() and filter().
+We're voting sort() off the codebase at tonight's pull request ceremony.
+
+**Reality Competition**
+
+Listen up, coders! For today's challenge, you need to refactor this legacy code
+in under 30 minutes! The winner gets immunity from the next code review!
+_dramatic pause_ BUT WAIT - there's a TWIST! You can only use VANILLA JAVASCRIPT!
+_contestants gasp_ The clock starts... NOW! GO GO GO!
+
+## 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 sauté 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
+18. Museum tour guide energy
+19. Airline pilot announcements
+20. Reality TV show narrator
+21. Star Trek crew member (Captain/Engineer/Vulcan)
+22. Soap opera dramatic protagonist
+23. Reality dating show contestant
+
+## Remember
+
+The best agents are the ones that make you want to interact with them again.
+A memorable personality turns a tool into a companion!

+Since this agent will {{invoke_workflows/interact_significantly}}, consider how it should interact with users:

+**For Full/Module Agents with workflows:**
+
+**Interaction Style** (for workflows this agent invokes):
+
+- **Intent-based (Recommended)**: Workflows adapt conversation to user context, skill level, needs
+- **Prescriptive**: Workflows use structured questions with specific options
+- **Mixed**: Strategic use of both (most workflows will be mixed)
+
+**Interactivity Level** (for workflows this agent invokes):
+
+- **High (Collaborative)**: Constant user collaboration, iterative refinement
+- **Medium (Guided)**: Key decision points with validation
+- **Low (Autonomous)**: Minimal input, final review
+
+Explain: "Most BMAD v6 workflows default to **intent-based + medium/high interactivity**
+for better user experience. Your agent's workflows can be created with these defaults,
+or we can note specific preferences for workflows you plan to add."
+
+**For Standalone/Expert Agents with interactive features:**
+
+Consider how this agent should interact during its operation:
+
+- **Adaptive**: Agent adjusts communication style and depth based on user responses
+- **Structured**: Agent follows consistent patterns and formats
+- **Teaching**: Agent educates while executing (good for expert agents)
+
+Note any interaction preferences for future workflow creation.

+
+<action>Build the YAML menu structure naturally from the conversation, ensuring each command has proper trigger, workflow/action reference, and description</action>
+
+<action>For commands that will invoke workflows, note whether those workflows exist or need to be created:
+
+- Existing workflows: Verify paths are correct
+- New workflows needed: Note that they'll be created with intent-based + interactive defaults unless specified
+  </action>

+  workflow-install: "{project-root}/.bmad/THIS_MODULE/workflows/vendored/path/workflow.yaml"
+  description: [description]
+
+`````
+</example>
+
+<note>**Workflow Vendoring (Advanced):**
+When an agent needs workflows from another module, use both `workflow` (source) and `workflow-install` (destination).
+During installation, the workflow will be copied and configured for this module, making it standalone.
+This is typically used when creating specialized modules that reuse common workflows with different configurations.

+# Module Brainstorming Context
+
+_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD module_
+
+## Session Focus
+
+You are brainstorming ideas for a **complete BMAD module** - a self-contained package that extends the BMAD Method with specialized domain expertise and capabilities.
+
+## What is a BMAD Module?
+
+A module is a cohesive package that provides:
+
+- **Domain Expertise**: Specialized knowledge in a specific area (RPG, DevOps, Content Creation, etc.)
+- **Agent Team**: Multiple AI personas with complementary skills
+- **Workflows**: Guided processes for common tasks in the domain
+- **Templates**: Document structures for consistent outputs
+- **Integration**: Components that work together seamlessly
+
+## Brainstorming Goals
+
+Explore and define:
+
+### 1. Domain and Purpose
+
+- **What domain/problem space?** (e.g., game development, marketing, personal productivity)
+- **Who is the target user?** (developers, writers, managers, hobbyists)
+- **What pain points does it solve?** (tedious tasks, missing structure, need for expertise)
+- **What makes this domain exciting?** (creativity, efficiency, empowerment)
+
+### 2. Agent Team Composition
+
+- **How many agents?** (typically 3-7 for a module)
+- **What roles/personas?** (architect, researcher, reviewer, specialist)
+- **How do they collaborate?** (handoffs, reviews, ensemble work)
+- **What personality theme?** (Star Trek crew, superhero team, fantasy party, professional squad)
+
+### 3. Core Workflows
+
+- **What documents need creating?** (plans, specs, reports, creative outputs)
+- **What processes need automation?** (analysis, generation, review, deployment)
+- **What workflows enable the vision?** (3-10 key workflows that define the module)
+
+### 4. Value Proposition
+
+- **What becomes easier?** (specific tasks that get 10x faster)
+- **What becomes possible?** (new capabilities previously unavailable)
+- **What becomes better?** (quality improvements, consistency gains)
+
+## Creative Constraints
+
+A good BMAD module should be:
+
+- **Focused**: Serves a specific domain well (not generic)
+- **Complete**: Provides end-to-end capabilities for that domain
+- **Cohesive**: Agents and workflows complement each other
+- **Fun**: Personality and creativity make it enjoyable to use
+- **Practical**: Solves real problems, delivers real value
+
+## Module Architecture Questions
+
+1. **Module Identity**
+   - Module code (kebab-case, e.g., "rpg-toolkit")
+   - Module name (friendly, e.g., "RPG Toolkit")
+   - Module purpose (one sentence)
+   - Target audience
+
+2. **Agent Lineup**
+   - Agent names and roles
+   - Communication styles and personalities
+   - Expertise areas
+   - Command sets (what each agent can do)
+
+3. **Workflow Portfolio**
+   - Document generation workflows
+   - Action/automation workflows
+   - Analysis/research workflows
+   - Creative/ideation workflows
+
+4. **Integration Points**
+   - How agents invoke workflows
+   - How workflows use templates
+   - How components pass data
+   - Dependencies on other modules
+
+## Example Module Patterns
+
+### Professional Domains
+
+- **DevOps Suite**: Deploy, Monitor, Troubleshoot agents + deployment workflows
+- **Marketing Engine**: Content, SEO, Analytics agents + campaign workflows
+- **Legal Assistant**: Contract, Research, Review agents + document workflows
+
+### Creative Domains
+
+- **RPG Toolkit**: DM, NPC, Quest agents + adventure creation workflows
+- **Story Crafter**: Plot, Character, World agents + writing workflows
+- **Music Producer**: Composer, Arranger, Mixer agents + production workflows
+
+### Personal Domains
+
+- **Life Coach**: Planner, Tracker, Mentor agents + productivity workflows
+- **Learning Companion**: Tutor, Quiz, Reviewer agents + study workflows
+- **Health Guide**: Nutrition, Fitness, Wellness agents + tracking workflows
+
+## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
+
+Particularly effective for module ideation:
+
+1. **Domain Immersion**: Deep dive into target domain's problems
+2. **Persona Mapping**: Who needs this and what do they struggle with?
+3. **Workflow Mapping**: What processes exist today? How could they improve?
+4. **Team Building**: What personalities would make a great team?
+5. **Integration Thinking**: How do pieces connect and amplify each other?
+
+## Key Questions to Answer
+
+1. What domain expertise should this module embody?
+2. What would users be able to do that they can't do now?
+3. Who are the 3-7 agents and what are their personalities?
+4. What are the 5-10 core workflows?
+5. What makes this module delightful to use?
+6. How is this different from existing tools?
+7. What's the "killer feature" that makes this essential?
+
+## Output Goals
+
+Generate:
+
+- **Module concept**: Clear vision and purpose
+- **Agent roster**: Names, roles, personalities for each agent
+- **Workflow list**: Core workflows with brief descriptions
+- **Unique angle**: What makes this module special
+- **Use cases**: 3-5 concrete scenarios where this module shines

+# BMAD Module Structure Guide
+
+## What is a Module?
+
+A BMAD module is a self-contained package of agents, workflows, tasks, and resources that work together to provide specialized functionality. Think of it as an expansion pack for the BMAD Method.
+
+## Module Architecture
+
+### Core Structure
+
+```
+# SOURCE MODULE (in BMAD-METHOD project)
+src/modules/{module-code}/
+├── agents/                        # Agent definitions (.agent.yaml)

+
+## Module Types by Complexity
+
+### Simple Module (1-2 agents, 2-3 workflows)
+
+Perfect for focused, single-purpose tools.
+
+**Example: Code Review Module**
+
+- 1 Reviewer Agent
+- 2 Workflows: quick-review, deep-review
+- Clear, narrow scope
+
+### Standard Module (3-5 agents, 5-10 workflows)
+
+Comprehensive solution for a domain.
+
+**Example: Project Management Module**
+
+- PM Agent, Scrum Master Agent, Analyst Agent
+- Workflows: sprint-planning, retrospective, roadmap, user-stories
+- Integrated component ecosystem
+
+### Complex Module (5+ agents, 10+ workflows)
+
+Full platform or framework.
+
+**Example: RPG Toolkit Module**
+
+- DM Agent, NPC Agent, Monster Agent, Loot Agent, Map Agent
+- 15+ workflows for every aspect of game management
+- Multiple interconnected systems
+
+## Module Naming Conventions
+
+### Module Code (kebab-case)
+
+- `data-viz` - Data Visualization
+- `team-collab` - Team Collaboration
+- `rpg-toolkit` - RPG Toolkit
+- `legal-assist` - Legal Assistant
+
+### Module Name (Title Case)
+
+- "Data Visualization Suite"
+- "Team Collaboration Platform"
+- "RPG Game Master Toolkit"
+- "Legal Document Assistant"
+
+## Component Guidelines
+
+### Agents per Module
+
+**Recommended Distribution:**
+
+- **Primary Agent (1)**: The main interface/orchestrator
+- **Specialist Agents (2-4)**: Domain-specific experts
+- **Utility Agents (0-2)**: Helper/support functions
+
+**Anti-patterns to Avoid:**
+
+- Too many overlapping agents
+- Agents that could be combined
+- Agents without clear purpose
+
+### Workflows per Module
+
+**Categories:**
+
+- **Core Workflows (2-3)**: Essential functionality
+- **Feature Workflows (3-5)**: Specific capabilities
+- **Utility Workflows (2-3)**: Supporting operations
+- **Admin Workflows (0-2)**: Maintenance/config
+
+**Workflow Complexity Guide:**
+
+- Simple: 3-5 steps, single output
+- Standard: 5-10 steps, multiple outputs
+- Complex: 10+ steps, conditional logic, sub-workflows
+
+### Tasks per Module
+
+Tasks should be used for:
+
+- Single-operation utilities
+- Shared subroutines
+- Quick actions that don't warrant workflows
+
+## Module Dependencies
+
+### Internal Dependencies
+
+- Agents can reference module workflows
+- Workflows can invoke module tasks
+- Tasks can use module templates
+
+### External Dependencies
+
+- Reference other modules via full paths
+- Declare dependencies in config.yaml
+- Version compatibility notes
+
+### Workflow Vendoring (Advanced)
+
+For modules that need workflows from other modules but want to remain standalone, use **workflow vendoring**:
+
+**In Agent YAML:**
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: command-name
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/SOURCE_MODULE/workflows/path/workflow.yaml'
+    workflow-install: '{project-root}/.bmad/THIS_MODULE/workflows/vendored/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Command description'
+```
+
+**What Happens:**
+
+- During installation, workflows are copied from `workflow` to `workflow-install` location
+- Vendored workflows get `config_source` updated to reference this module's config
+- Compiled agent only references the `workflow-install` path
+- Module becomes fully standalone - no source module dependency required
+
+**Use Cases:**
+
+- Specialized modules that reuse common workflows with different configs
+- Domain-specific adaptations (e.g., game dev using standard dev workflows)
+- Testing workflows in isolation
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+- Module independence (no forced dependencies)
+- Clean namespace (workflows in your module)
+- Config isolation (use your module's settings)
+- Customization ready (modify vendored workflows freely)
+
+## Installation Infrastructure
+
+### Required: \_module-installer/install-config.yaml
+
+This file defines both installation questions AND static configuration values:
+
+```yaml
+# Module metadata
+code: module-code
+name: 'Module Name'
+default_selected: false
+
+# Welcome message during installation
+prompt:
+  - 'Welcome to Module Name!'
+  - 'Brief description here'
+
+# Core values automatically inherited from installer:
+## user_name
+## communication_language
+## document_output_language
+## output_folder
+
+# INTERACTIVE fields (ask user during install)
+output_location:
+  prompt: 'Where should module outputs be saved?'
+  default: 'output/module-code'
+  result: '{project-root}/{value}'
+
+feature_level:
+  prompt: 'Which feature set?'
+  default: 'standard'
+  result: '{value}'
+  single-select:
+    - value: 'basic'
+      label: 'Basic - Core features only'
+    - value: 'standard'
+      label: 'Standard - Recommended features'
+    - value: 'advanced'
+      label: 'Advanced - All features'
+
+# STATIC fields (no prompt, just hardcoded values)
+module_version:
+  result: '1.0.0'
+
+data_path:
+  result: '{project-root}/.bmad/module-code/data'
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+
+- File is named `install-config.yaml` (NOT install-config.yaml)
+- Supports both interactive prompts and static values
+- `result` field uses placeholders: `{value}`, `{project-root}`, `{directory_name}`
+- Installer generates final `config.yaml` from this template
+
+### Optional: \_module-installer/installer.js
+
+For complex installations requiring custom logic:
+
+```javascript
+/**
+ * @param {Object} options - Installation options
+ * @param {string} options.projectRoot - Target project directory
+ * @param {Object} options.config - Config from install-config.yaml
+ * @param {Array} options.installedIDEs - IDEs being configured
+ * @param {Object} options.logger - Logger (log, warn, error)
+ * @returns {boolean} - true if successful
+ */
+async function install(options) {
+  // Custom installation logic here
+  // - Database setup
+  // - API configuration
+  // - External downloads
+  // - Integration setup
+
+  return true;
+}
+
+module.exports = { install };
+```
+
+### Optional: \_module-installer/assets/
+
+Files to copy during installation:
+
+- External configurations
+- Documentation
+- Example files
+- Integration scripts
+
+## Module Lifecycle
+
+### Development Phases
+
+1. **Planning Phase**

+   - Document usage
+   - Distribute/share
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Module Cohesion
+
+- All components should relate to module theme
+- Clear boundaries between modules
+- No feature creep
+
+### Progressive Enhancement
+
+- Start with MVP (1 agent, 2 workflows)
+- Add components based on usage
+- Refactor as patterns emerge
+
+### Documentation Standards
+
+- Every module needs README.md
+- Each agent needs purpose statement
+- Workflows need clear descriptions
+- Include examples and quickstart
+
+### Naming Consistency
+
+- Use module code prefix for uniqueness
+- Consistent naming patterns within module
+- Clear, descriptive names
+

+
+```
+Simple Module → Standard Module → Complex Module → Module Suite
+     (MVP)          (Enhanced)        (Complete)      (Ecosystem)
+```
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Over-engineering**: Starting too complex
+2. **Under-planning**: No clear architecture
+3. **Poor boundaries**: Module does too much
+4. **Weak integration**: Components don't work together

+
+## Understanding Instruction Styles
+
+One of the most important decisions when creating a workflow is choosing the **instruction style** - how the workflow guides the AI's interaction with users.
+
+### Intent-Based vs Prescriptive Instructions
+
+**Intent-Based (Recommended for most workflows)**
+
+Guides the LLM with goals and principles, allowing natural conversation adaptation.
+
+- **More flexible and conversational** - AI adapts questions to context
+- **Better for complex discovery** - Requirements gathering, creative exploration
+- **Quality over consistency** - Focus on deep understanding
+- **Example**: `<action>Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics and needs</action>`
+
+**Best for:**
+
+- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements)
+- Creative brainstorming and ideation
+- Iterative refinement workflows
+- When adaptation to context matters
+- Workflows requiring nuanced understanding
+
+**Prescriptive**
+
+Provides exact wording for questions and structured options.
+
+- **More controlled and predictable** - Same questions every time
+- **Better for simple data collection** - Platform choices, yes/no decisions
+- **Consistency over quality** - Standardized execution
+- **Example**: `<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>`
+
+**Best for:**
+
+- Simple data collection (platform, format, binary choices)
+- Compliance verification and standards
+- Configuration with finite options
+- Quick setup wizards
+- When consistency is critical
+
+### Best Practice: Mix Both Styles
+
+The most effective workflows use **both styles strategically**:
+
+```xml
+<!-- Intent-based workflow with prescriptive moments -->
+<step n="1" goal="Understand user vision">
+  <action>Explore the user's vision, uncovering creative intent and target experience</action>
+</step>
+
+<step n="2" goal="Capture basic metadata">
+  <ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>
+</step>
+
+<step n="3" goal="Deep dive into details">
+  <action>Guide user to articulate their core approach and unique aspects</action>
+</step>
+```
+
+**During workflow creation**, you'll be asked to choose a **primary style preference** - this sets the default approach, but you can (and should) use the other style when it makes more sense for specific steps.
+
+## Workflow Process
+
+### Phase 0: Optional Brainstorming (Step -1)
+
+- **Creative Exploration**: Option to brainstorm workflow ideas before structured development
+- **Design Concept Development**: Generate multiple approaches and explore different possibilities
+- **Requirement Clarification**: Use brainstorming output to inform workflow purpose, type, and structure
+- **Enhanced Creativity**: Leverage AI brainstorming tools for innovative workflow design
+
+The brainstorming phase invokes the CIS brainstorming workflow to:
+
+- Explore workflow ideas and approaches
+- Clarify requirements and use cases
+- Generate creative solutions for complex automation needs
+- Inform the structured workflow building process
+
+### Phase 1: Planning (Steps 0-3)
+
+- Load workflow creation guide and conventions
+- Define workflow purpose, name, and type (informed by brainstorming if used)
+- Gather metadata and configuration details
+- Design step structure and flow
+
+### Phase 2: Generation (Steps 4-8)
+
+- Create workflow.yaml with proper configuration
+- Generate instructions.md with XML-structured steps
+- Create template.md (for document workflows)
+- Generate validation checklist
+- Create supporting data files (optional)
+
+### Phase 3: Documentation and Validation (Steps 9-11)
+
+- Create comprehensive README.md (MANDATORY)
+- Test and validate workflow structure
+- Provide usage instructions and next steps
+
+## Output
+
+### Generated Workflow Folder
+
+Creates a complete workflow folder at:
+`{project-root}/.bmad/{{target_module}}/workflows/{{workflow_name}}/`
+
+### Files Created
+
+**Always Created:**
+
+- `workflow.yaml` - Configuration with paths and variables
+- `README.md` - Comprehensive documentation (MANDATORY as of v6)
+- `instructions.md` - Execution steps (if not template-only workflow)
+
+**Conditionally Created:**
+
+- `template.md` - Document structure (for document workflows)
+- `checklist.md` - Validation criteria (optional but recommended)
+- Supporting data files (CSV, JSON, etc. as needed)
+
+### Output Structure
+
+For document workflows, the README documents:
+
+- Workflow purpose and use cases
+- Usage examples with actual commands
+- Input expectations
+- Output structure and location
+- Best practices
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Access to workflow creation guide
+- BMAD Core v6 project structure
+- Module to host the new workflow (bmm, bmb, cis, or custom)
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Before Starting
+
+1. **Consider Brainstorming**: If you're unsure about the workflow approach, use the optional brainstorming phase
+2. Review the workflow creation guide to understand conventions
+3. Have a clear understanding of the workflow's purpose (or be ready to explore it creatively)
+4. Know which type of workflow you're creating (document, action, etc.) or be open to discovery
+5. Identify any data files or references needed
+
+### Creative Workflow Design
+
+The create-workflow now supports a **seamless transition from creative ideation to structured implementation**:
+
+- **"I need a workflow for something..."** → Start with brainstorming to explore possibilities
+- **Brainstorm** → Generate multiple approaches and clarify requirements
+- **Structured workflow** → Build the actual workflow using insights from brainstorming
+- **One seamless session** → Complete the entire process from idea to implementation
+
+### During Execution
+
+1. Follow kebab-case naming conventions
+2. Be specific with step goals and instructions
+3. Use descriptive variable names (snake_case)
+4. Set appropriate limits ("3-5 items maximum")
+5. Include examples where helpful
+
+### After Completion
+
+1. Test the newly created workflow
+2. Validate against the checklist
+3. Ensure README is comprehensive and accurate
+4. Test all file paths and variable references
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Generated workflow won't execute
+
+- **Solution**: Verify all file paths in workflow.yaml use proper variable substitution
+- **Check**: Ensure installed_path and project-root are correctly set
+
+### Issue: Variables not replacing in template
+
+- **Solution**: Ensure variable names match exactly between instructions `<template-output>` tags and template `{{variables}}`
+- **Check**: Use snake_case consistently
+
+### Issue: README has placeholder text
+
+- **Solution**: This workflow now enforces README generation - ensure Step 10 completed fully
+- **Check**: No {WORKFLOW_TITLE} or similar placeholders should remain
+
+## Customization
+
+To modify this workflow:
+
+1. Edit `instructions.md` to adjust the creation process
+2. Update templates in `workflow-template/` to change generated files
+3. Modify `workflow-creation-guide.md` to update conventions
+4. Edit `checklist.md` to change validation criteria
+
+## Version History
+
+- **v6.0.0** - README.md now MANDATORY for all workflows
+  - Added comprehensive README template
+  - Enhanced validation for documentation
+  - Improved Step 10 with detailed README requirements
+
+- **v6.0.0** - Initial BMAD Core v6 compatible version
+  - Template-based workflow generation
+  - Convention enforcement
+  - Validation checklist support
+
+## Support

+# Workflow Brainstorming Context
+
+_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD workflow_
+
+## Session Focus
+
+You are brainstorming ideas for a **BMAD workflow** - a guided, multi-step process that helps users accomplish complex tasks with structure, consistency, and quality.
+
+## What is a BMAD Workflow?
+
+A workflow is a structured process that provides:
+
+- **Clear Steps**: Sequential operations with defined goals
+- **User Guidance**: Prompts, questions, and decisions at each phase
+- **Quality Output**: Documents, artifacts, or completed actions
+- **Repeatability**: Same process yields consistent results
+- **Type**: Document (creates docs), Action (performs tasks), Interactive (guides sessions), Autonomous (runs automated), Meta (orchestrates other workflows)
+
+## Brainstorming Goals
+
+Explore and define:
+
+### 1. Problem and Purpose
+
+- **What task needs structure?** (specific process users struggle with)
+- **Why is this hard manually?** (complexity, inconsistency, missing steps)
+- **What would ideal process look like?** (steps, checkpoints, outputs)
+- **Who needs this?** (target users and their pain points)
+
+### 2. Process Flow
+
+- **How many phases?** (typically 3-10 major steps)
+- **What's the sequence?** (logical flow from start to finish)
+- **What decisions are needed?** (user choices that affect path)
+- **What's optional vs required?** (flexibility points)
+- **What checkpoints matter?** (validation, review, approval points)
+
+### 3. Inputs and Outputs
+
+- **What inputs are needed?** (documents, data, user answers)
+- **What outputs are generated?** (documents, code, configurations)
+- **What format?** (markdown, XML, YAML, actions)
+- **What quality criteria?** (how to validate success)
+
+### 4. Workflow Type and Style
+
+- **Document Workflow?** Creates structured documents (PRDs, specs, reports)
+- **Action Workflow?** Performs operations (refactoring, deployment, analysis)
+- **Interactive Workflow?** Guides creative process (brainstorming, planning)
+- **Autonomous Workflow?** Runs without user input (batch processing, generation)
+- **Meta Workflow?** Orchestrates other workflows (project setup, module creation)
+
+## Creative Constraints
+
+A great BMAD workflow should be:
+
+- **Focused**: Solves one problem well (not everything)
+- **Structured**: Clear phases with defined goals
+- **Flexible**: Optional steps, branching paths where appropriate
+- **Validated**: Checklist to verify completeness and quality
+- **Documented**: README explains when and how to use it
+
+## Workflow Architecture Questions
+
+### Core Structure
+
+1. **Workflow name** (kebab-case, e.g., "product-brief")
+2. **Purpose** (one sentence)
+3. **Type** (document/action/interactive/autonomous/meta)
+4. **Major phases** (3-10 high-level steps)
+5. **Output** (what gets created)
+
+### Process Details
+
+1. **Required inputs** (what user must provide)
+2. **Optional inputs** (what enhances results)
+3. **Decision points** (where user chooses path)
+4. **Checkpoints** (where to pause for approval)
+5. **Variables** (data passed between steps)
+
+### Quality and Validation
+
+1. **Success criteria** (what defines "done")
+2. **Validation checklist** (measurable quality checks)
+3. **Common issues** (troubleshooting guidance)
+4. **Best practices** (tips for optimal results)
+
+## Workflow Pattern Examples
+
+### Document Generation Workflows
+
+- **Product Brief**: Idea → Vision → Features → Market → Output
+- **PRD**: Requirements → User Stories → Acceptance Criteria → Document
+- **Architecture**: Requirements → Decisions → Design → Diagrams → ADRs
+- **Technical Spec**: Epic → Implementation → Testing → Deployment → Doc
+
+### Action Workflows
+
+- **Code Refactoring**: Analyze → Plan → Refactor → Test → Commit
+- **Deployment**: Build → Test → Stage → Validate → Deploy → Monitor
+- **Migration**: Assess → Plan → Convert → Validate → Deploy
+- **Analysis**: Collect → Process → Analyze → Report → Recommend
+
+### Interactive Workflows
+
+- **Brainstorming**: Setup → Generate → Expand → Evaluate → Prioritize
+- **Planning**: Context → Goals → Options → Decisions → Plan
+- **Review**: Load → Analyze → Critique → Suggest → Document
+
+### Meta Workflows
+
+- **Project Setup**: Plan → Architecture → Stories → Setup → Initialize
+- **Module Creation**: Brainstorm → Brief → Agents → Workflows → Install
+- **Sprint Planning**: Backlog → Capacity → Stories → Commit → Kickoff
+
+## Workflow Design Patterns
+
+### Linear Flow
+
+Simple sequence: Step 1 → Step 2 → Step 3 → Done
+
+**Good for:**
+
+- Document generation
+- Structured analysis
+- Sequential builds
+
+### Branching Flow
+
+Conditional paths: Step 1 → [Decision] → Path A or Path B → Merge → Done
+
+**Good for:**
+
+- Different project types
+- Optional deep dives
+- Scale-adaptive processes
+
+### Iterative Flow
+
+Refinement loops: Step 1 → Step 2 → [Review] → (Repeat if needed) → Done
+
+**Good for:**
+
+- Creative processes
+- Quality refinement
+- Approval cycles
+
+### Router Flow
+
+Type selection: [Select Type] → Load appropriate instructions → Execute → Done
+
+**Good for:**
+
+- Multi-mode workflows
+- Reusable frameworks
+- Flexible tools
+
+## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
+
+Particularly effective for workflow ideation:
+
+1. **Process Mapping**: Draw current painful process, identify improvements
+2. **Step Decomposition**: Break complex task into atomic steps
+3. **Checkpoint Thinking**: Where do users need pause/review/decision?
+4. **Pain Point Analysis**: What makes current process frustrating?
+5. **Success Visualization**: What does perfect execution look like?
+
+## Key Questions to Answer
+
+1. What manual process needs structure and guidance?
+2. What makes this process hard or inconsistent today?
+3. What are the 3-10 major phases/steps?
+4. What document or output gets created?
+5. What inputs are required from the user?
+6. What decisions or choices affect the flow?
+7. What quality criteria define success?
+8. Document, Action, Interactive, Autonomous, or Meta workflow?
+9. What makes this workflow valuable vs doing it manually?
+10. What would make this workflow delightful to use?
+
+## Output Goals
+
+Generate:
+
+- **Workflow name**: Clear, describes the process
+- **Purpose statement**: One sentence explaining value
+- **Workflow type**: Classification with rationale
+- **Phase outline**: 3-10 major steps with goals
+- **Input/output description**: What goes in, what comes out
+- **Key decisions**: Where user makes choices
+- **Success criteria**: How to know it worked
+- **Unique value**: Why this workflow beats manual process
+- **Use cases**: 3-5 scenarios where this workflow shines

+
+Explain to the user:
+
+**Standalone Property** controls whether the workflow can be invoked directly or only called by other workflows/agents.
+
+**standalone: true (DEFAULT - Recommended for most workflows)**:
+
+- Users can invoke directly via IDE commands or `/workflow-name`
+- Shows up in IDE command palette
+- Can also be called from agent menus or other workflows
+- Use for: User-facing workflows, entry-point workflows, any workflow users run directly
+
+**standalone: false (Use for helper/internal workflows)**:
+
+- Cannot be invoked directly by users
+- Only called via `<invoke-workflow>` from other workflows or agent menus
+- Doesn't appear in IDE command palette
+- Use for: Internal utilities, sub-workflows, helpers that don't make sense standalone
+
+Most workflows should be `standalone: true` to give users direct access.
+</action>
+
+<ask>Should this workflow be directly invokable by users?
+
+1. **Yes (Recommended)** - Users can run it directly (standalone: true)
+2. **No** - Only called by other workflows/agents (standalone: false)

+
+<action>Reference the comprehensive "Instruction Styles: Intent-Based vs Prescriptive" section from the loaded creation guide</action>
+
+<action>Discuss instruction style collaboratively with the user:
+
+Explain that there are two primary approaches:
+
+**Intent-Based (RECOMMENDED as default)**:
+
+- Gives AI goals and principles, lets it adapt conversation naturally
+- More flexible, conversational, responsive to user context
+- Better for: discovery, complex decisions, teaching, varied user skill levels
+- Uses <action> tags with guiding instructions
+- Example from architecture workflow: Facilitates decisions adapting to user_skill_level
+
+**Prescriptive**:
+
+- Provides exact questions and specific options
+- More controlled, predictable, consistent across runs
+- Better for: simple data collection, finite options, compliance, quick setup
+- Uses <ask> tags with specific question text
+- Example: Platform selection with 5 defined choices
+
+Explain that **most workflows should default to intent-based** but use prescriptive for simple data points.
+The architecture workflow is an excellent example of intent-based with prescriptive moments.
+</action>
+
+<ask>For this workflow's PRIMARY style:
+
+1. **Intent-based (Recommended)** - Adaptive, conversational, responds to user context
+2. **Prescriptive** - Structured, consistent, controlled interactions
+3. **Mixed/Balanced** - I'll help you decide step-by-step
+
+What feels right for your workflow's purpose?
+</ask>
+
+<action>Store {{instruction_style}} preference</action>
+
+<action>Now discuss interactivity level:
+
+Beyond style, consider **how interactive** this workflow should be:
+
+**High Interactivity (Collaborative)**:
+
+- Constant back-and-forth with user
+- User guides direction, AI facilitates
+- Iterative refinement and review
+- Best for: creative work, complex decisions, learning experiences
+- Example: Architecture workflow's collaborative decision-making
+
+**Medium Interactivity (Guided)**:
+
+- Key decision points have interaction
+- AI proposes, user confirms or refines
+- Validation checkpoints
+- Best for: most document workflows, structured processes
+- Example: PRD workflow with sections to review
+
+**Low Interactivity (Autonomous)**:
+
+- Minimal user input required
+- AI works independently with guidelines
+- User reviews final output
+- Best for: automated generation, batch processing
+- Example: Generating user stories from epics
+  </action>
+
+<ask>What interactivity level suits this workflow?
+
+1. **High** - Highly collaborative, user actively involved throughout (Recommended)
+2. **Medium** - Guided with key decision points
+3. **Low** - Mostly autonomous with final review
+
+Select the level that matches your workflow's purpose:
+</ask>
+
+<action>Store {{interactivity_level}} preference</action>
+
+<action>Explain how these choices will inform the workflow design:
+
+- Intent-based + High interactivity: Conversational discovery with open questions
+- Intent-based + Medium: Facilitated guidance with confirmation points
+- Intent-based + Low: Principle-based autonomous generation
+- Prescriptive + any level: Structured questions, but frequency varies
+- Mixed: Strategic use of both styles where each works best
+  </action>
+
+<action>Now work with user to outline workflow steps:
+
+- How many major steps? (Recommend 3-7 for most workflows)
+- What is the goal of each step?
+- Which steps are optional?
+- Which steps need heavy user collaboration vs autonomous execution?
+- Which steps should repeat?
+- What variables/outputs does each step produce?
+
+Consider their instruction_style and interactivity_level choices when designing step flow:
+
+- High interactivity: More granular steps with collaboration
+- Low interactivity: Larger autonomous steps with review
+- Intent-based: Focus on goals and principles in step descriptions
+- Prescriptive: Define specific questions and options
+  </action>

+- All metadata from steps 1-2
+- **Standalone property**: Use {{standalone_setting}} from step 2 (true or false)
+- Proper paths for installed_path using variable substitution
+- Template/instructions/validation paths based on workflow type:
+  - Document workflow: all files (template, instructions, validation)

+
+<step n="5" goal="Create instructions.md" if="workflow_type != 'template-only'">
+Load and use the template at: {template_instructions}
+
+Generate the instructions.md file following the workflow creation guide:
+
+1. ALWAYS include critical headers:
+   - Workflow engine reference: {project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
+   - workflow.yaml reference: must be loaded and processed
+
+2. Structure with <workflow> tags containing all steps
+
+3. For each step from design phase, follow guide conventions:
+   - Step attributes: n="X" goal="clear goal statement"
+   - Optional steps: optional="true"
+   - Repeating: repeat="3" or repeat="for-each-X" or repeat="until-approved"
+   - Conditional: if="condition"
+   - Sub-steps: Use 3a, 3b notation
+
+4. Use proper XML tags from guide:
+   - Execution: <action>, <check>, <ask>, <goto>, <invoke-workflow>
+   - Output: <template-output>, <invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml</invoke-task>, <critical>, <example>
+   - Flow: <loop>, <break>, <continue>
+
+5. Best practices from guide:
+   - Keep steps focused (single goal)
+   - Be specific ("Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about")
+   - Provide examples where helpful
+   - Set limits ("3-5 items maximum")
+   - Save checkpoints with <template-output>
+
+<critical>Standard config variable usage:</critical>
+
+Instructions MUST use the standard config variables where appropriate:
+
+- Communicate in {communication_language} throughout the workflow
+- Address user as {user_name} in greetings and summaries
+- Write all output files to {output_folder} or subdirectories
+- Include {date} in generated document headers
+
+Example usage in instructions:
+
+```xml
+<action>Write document to {output_folder}/output-file.md</action>
+<critical>Communicate all responses in {communication_language}</critical>
+<output>Hello {user_name}, the workflow is complete!</output>
+```
+
+<critical>Applying instruction style preference:</critical>
+
+Based on the {{instruction_style}} preference from Step 3, generate instructions using these patterns:
+
+**Intent-Based Instructions (Recommended for most workflows):**
+
+Focus on goals, principles, and desired outcomes. Let the LLM adapt the conversation naturally.
+
+✅ **Good Examples:**
+
+```xml
+<!-- Discovery and exploration -->
+<action>Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics, psychographics, and behavioral characteristics</action>
+<action>Explore the user's vision for the product, asking probing questions to uncover core motivations and success criteria</action>
+<action>Help user identify and prioritize key features based on user value and technical feasibility</action>
+
+<!-- Validation and refinement -->
+<action>Validate that the technical approach aligns with project constraints and team capabilities</action>
+<action>Challenge assumptions about user needs and market fit with thought-provoking questions</action>
+
+<!-- Complex iterative work -->
+<action>Collaborate with user to refine the architecture, iterating until they're satisfied with the design</action>
+```
+
+❌ **Avoid (too prescriptive):**
+
+```xml
+<ask>What is your target audience age range? Choose: 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45+</ask>
+<ask>List exactly 3 key features in priority order</ask>
+```
+
+**When to use Intent-Based:**
+
+- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements gathering)
+- Creative brainstorming and ideation
+- Iterative refinement workflows
+- When user input quality matters more than consistency
+- Workflows requiring adaptation to context
+
+**Prescriptive Instructions (Use selectively):**
+
+Provide exact wording, specific options, and controlled interactions.
+
+✅ **Good Examples:**
+
+```xml
+<!-- Simple data collection -->
+<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>
+<ask>Select monetization model: Premium, Free-to-Play, Subscription, Ad-Supported</ask>
+
+<!-- Compliance and standards -->
+<ask>Does this comply with GDPR requirements? [yes/no]</ask>
+<ask>Choose documentation standard: JSDoc, TypeDoc, TSDoc</ask>
+
+<!-- Binary decisions -->
+<ask>Do you want to generate test cases? [yes/no]</ask>
+<ask>Include performance benchmarks? [yes/no]</ask>
+```
+
+❌ **Avoid (too rigid for complex tasks):**
+
+```xml
+<ask>What are your product goals? List exactly 5 goals, each 10-15 words</ask>
+<ask>Describe your user persona in exactly 3 sentences</ask>
+```
+
+**When to use Prescriptive:**
+
+- Simple data collection (platform, format, yes/no choices)
+- Compliance verification and standards adherence
+- Configuration with finite options
+- When consistency is critical across all executions
+- Quick setup wizards
+
+**Mixing Both Styles (Best Practice):**
+
+Even if user chose a primary style, use the other when appropriate:
+
+```xml
+<!-- Intent-based workflow with prescriptive moments -->
+<step n="1" goal="Understand user vision">
+  <action>Explore the user's vision for their game, uncovering their creative intent and target experience</action>
+  <action>Ask probing questions about genre, themes, and emotional tone they want to convey</action>
+</step>
+
+<step n="2" goal="Capture basic metadata">
+  <ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask> <!-- Prescriptive for simple choice -->
+  <ask>Select primary genre: Action, RPG, Strategy, Puzzle, Simulation, Other</ask>
+</step>
+
+<step n="3" goal="Deep dive into gameplay">
+  <action>Guide user to articulate their core gameplay loop, exploring mechanics and player agency</action> <!-- Back to intent-based -->
+  <action>Help them identify what makes their game unique and compelling</action>
+</step>
+```
+
+**Guidelines for the chosen style:**
+
+If user chose **Intent-Based**:
+
+- Default to goal-oriented <action> tags
+- Use open-ended guidance language
+- Save prescriptive <ask> tags for simple data/choices
+- Focus on "guide", "explore", "help user", "validate"
+- Allow LLM to adapt questions to user responses
+
+If user chose **Prescriptive**:
+
+- Default to explicit <ask> tags with clear options
+- Use precise wording for consistency
+- Save intent-based <action> tags for complex discovery
+- Focus on "choose", "select", "specify", "confirm"
+- Provide structured choices when possible
+
+**Remember:** The goal is optimal human-AI collaboration. Use whichever style best serves the user at each step.
+
+<critical>Save location:</critical>
+
+- Write to {{output_folder}}/instructions.md
+  </step>
+
+<step n="6" goal="Create template.md" if="workflow_type == 'document'">
+Load and use the template at: {template_template}
+
+Generate the template.md file following guide conventions:
+
+1. Document structure with clear sections
+2. Variable syntax: {{variable_name}} using snake_case
+3. Variable names MUST match <template-output> tags exactly from instructions
+4. Include standard metadata header (optional - config variables available):
+
+   ```markdown
+   # Document Title
+
+   **Date:** {{date}}
+
+   **Author:** {{user_name}}
+   ```
+
+   Note: {{date}} and {{user_name}} are optional in headers. Primary purpose of these variables:
+   - {{date}} - Gives agent current date awareness (not confused with training cutoff)
+   - {{user_name}} - Optional author attribution
+   - {{communication_language}} - NOT for document output! Tells agent how to communicate during execution
+
+5. Follow naming conventions from guide:
+   - Use descriptive names: {{primary_user_journey}} not {{puj}}
+   - Snake_case for all variables
+   - Match instruction outputs precisely
+
+Variable sources as per guide:
+
+- workflow.yaml config values (user_name, communication_language, date, output_folder)
+- User input runtime values
+- Step outputs via <template-output>
+- System variables (date, paths)
+
+<critical>Standard config variables in templates:</critical>
+
+Templates CAN optionally use these config variables:
+
+- {{user_name}} - Document author (optional)
+- {{date}} - Generation date (optional)
+
+IMPORTANT: {{communication_language}} is NOT for document headers!
+
+- Purpose: Tells agent how to communicate with user during workflow execution
+- NOT for: Document output language or template headers
+- Future: {{document_output_language}} will handle multilingual document generation
+
+These variables are automatically available from workflow.yaml config block.
+
+<critical>Save location:</critical>
+
+- Write to {{output_folder}}/template.md
+  </step>
+
+<step n="7" goal="Create validation checklist" optional="true">
+Ask if user wants a validation checklist. If yes:
+
+Load and use the template at: {template_checklist}
+
+Create checklist.md following guide best practices:
+
+1. Make criteria MEASURABLE and SPECIFIC
+   ❌ "- [ ] Good documentation"
+   ✅ "- [ ] Each function has JSDoc comments with parameters and return types"
+
+2. Group checks logically:
+   - Structure: All sections present, no placeholders, proper formatting
+   - Content Quality: Clear and specific, technically accurate, consistent terminology
+   - Completeness: Ready for next phase, dependencies documented, action items defined
+
+3. Include workflow-specific validations based on type:
+   - Document workflows: Template variables mapped, sections complete
+   - Action workflows: Actions clearly defined, error handling specified
+   - Interactive: User prompts clear, decision points documented
+
+4. Add final validation section with issue lists

+
+<step n="8" goal="Create supporting files" optional="true">
+Ask if any supporting data files are needed:
+- CSV files with data
+- Example documents
+- Reference materials
+
+If yes, create placeholder files or copy from templates.
+</step>
+
+<step n="9" goal="Test and validate workflow">
+Review the created workflow:
+
+**Basic Validation:**
+
+1. Verify all file paths are correct
+2. Check variable names match between files
+3. Ensure step numbering is sequential
+4. Validate YAML syntax
+5. Confirm all placeholders are replaced
+
+**Standard Config Validation:**
+
+6. Verify workflow.yaml contains standard config block:
+
+- config_source defined
+- output_folder, user_name, communication_language pulled from config
+- date set to system-generated
+
+7. Check instructions use config variables where appropriate
+8. Verify template includes config variables in metadata (if document workflow)
+
+**YAML/Instruction/Template Alignment:**
+
+9. Cross-check all workflow.yaml variables against instruction usage:
+
+- Are all yaml variables referenced in instructions.md OR template.md?
+- Are there hardcoded values that should be variables?
+- Do template variables match <template-output> tags in instructions?
+
+10. Identify any unused yaml fields (bloat detection)
+
+Show user a summary of created files and their locations.
+Ask if they want to:
+
+- Test run the workflow
+- Make any adjustments
+- Add additional steps or features
+  </step>
+
+<step n="9b" goal="Configure web bundle (optional)">
+<ask>Will this workflow need to be deployable as a web bundle? [yes/no]</ask>
+
+If yes:
+<action>Explain web bundle requirements:</action>
+
+- Web bundles are self-contained and cannot use config_source variables
+- All files must be explicitly listed in web_bundle_files
+- File paths use .bmad/ root (not {project-root})
+
+<action>Configure web_bundle section in workflow.yaml:</action>
+
+1. Copy core workflow metadata (name, description, author)
+2. Convert all file paths to .bmad/-relative paths:
+   - Remove {project-root}/ prefix
+   - Remove {config_source} references (use hardcoded values)
+   - Example: "{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/x" → ".bmad/bmm/workflows/x"
+
+3. List ALL referenced files by scanning:
+
+   **Scan instructions.md for:**
+   - File paths in <action> tags
+   - Data files (CSV, JSON, YAML, etc.)
+   - Validation/checklist files
+   - Any <invoke-workflow> calls → must include that workflow's yaml file
+   - Any <goto> tags that reference other workflows
+   - Shared templates or includes
+
+   **Scan template.md for:**
+   - Any includes or references to other files
+   - Shared template fragments
+
+   **Critical: Workflow Dependencies**
+   - If instructions call another workflow, that workflow's yaml MUST be in web_bundle_files
+   - Example: `<invoke-workflow>{project-root}/.bmad/core/workflows/x/workflow.yaml</invoke-workflow>`
+     → Add ".bmad/core/workflows/x/workflow.yaml" to web_bundle_files
+
+4. Create web_bundle_files array with complete list
+
+Example:
+
+```yaml
+web_bundle:
+  name: '{workflow_name}'
+  description: '{workflow_description}'
+  author: '{author}'
+  instructions: '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/instructions.md'
+  validation: '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/checklist.md'
+  template: '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/template.md'
+
+  # Any data files (no config_source)
+  data_file: '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/data.csv'
+
+  web_bundle_files:
+    - '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/instructions.md'
+    - '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/checklist.md'
+    - '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/template.md'
+    - '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/data.csv'
+    # Add every single file referenced anywhere
+
+  # CRITICAL: If this workflow invokes other workflows, use existing_workflows
+  # This signals the bundler to recursively include those workflows' web_bundles
+  existing_workflows:
+    - workflow_variable_name: '.bmad/path/to/workflow.yaml'
+```
+
+**Example with existing_workflows:**
+
+```yaml
+web_bundle:

+# Edit Agent Workflow
+
+Interactive workflow for editing existing BMAD Core agents while maintaining best practices and conventions.
+
+## Purpose
+
+This workflow helps you refine and improve existing agents by:
+
+- Analyzing agents against BMAD Core best practices
+- Identifying issues and improvement opportunities
+- Providing guided editing for specific aspects
+- Validating changes against agent standards
+- Ensuring consistency with agent architecture
+
+## When to Use
+
+Use this workflow when you need to:
+
+- Fix issues in existing agents
+- Add new menu items or workflows
+- Improve agent persona or communication style
+- Update configuration handling
+- Convert between agent types (full/hybrid/standalone)
+- Optimize agent structure and clarity
+
+## What You'll Need
+
+- Path to the agent file you want to edit (.yaml or .md)
+- Understanding of what changes you want to make
+- Access to the agent documentation (loaded automatically)
+
+## Workflow Steps
+
+1. **Load and analyze target agent** - Provide path to agent file
+2. **Analyze against best practices** - Automatic audit of agent structure
+3. **Select editing focus** - Choose what aspect to edit
+4. **Load relevant documentation** - Auto-loads guides based on your choice
+5. **Perform edits** - Review and approve changes iteratively
+6. **Validate all changes** - Comprehensive validation checklist
+7. **Generate change summary** - Summary of improvements made
+
+## Editing Options
+
+The workflow provides 12 focused editing options:
+
+1. **Fix critical issues** - Address broken references, syntax errors
+2. **Add/fix standard config** - Ensure config loading and variable usage
+3. **Refine persona** - Improve role, communication style, principles
+4. **Update activation** - Modify activation steps and greeting
+5. **Manage menu items** - Add, remove, or reorganize commands
+6. **Update workflow references** - Fix paths, add new workflows
+7. **Enhance menu handlers** - Improve handler logic
+8. **Improve command triggers** - Refine asterisk commands
+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
+
+## Agent Documentation Loaded
+
+This workflow automatically loads:
+
+- **Agent Types Guide** - Understanding full, hybrid, and standalone agents
+- **Agent Architecture** - Structure, activation, and menu patterns
+- **Command Patterns** - Menu handlers and command triggers
+- **Communication Styles** - Persona and communication guidance
+- **Workflow Execution Engine** - How agents execute workflows
+
+## 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.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- **Start with analysis** - Let the workflow audit your agent first
+- **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
+- **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)
+- The workflow loads documentation automatically - you don't need to read it first
+- You can make multiple rounds of edits in one session
+- Use the validation step to ensure you didn't miss anything
+
+## Related Workflows
+
+- **create-agent** - Create new agents from scratch
+- **edit-workflow** - Edit workflows referenced by agents
+- **audit-workflow** - Audit workflows for compliance
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```
+User: I want to add a new workflow to the PM agent
+Workflow: Analyzes agent → Loads it → You choose option 5 (manage menu items)
+          → Adds new menu item with workflow reference → Validates → Done
+```
+
+## Activation
+
+Invoke via BMad Builder agent:
+
+```
+/bmad:bmb:agents:bmad-builder
+Then select: *edit-agent
+```
+
+Or directly via workflow.xml with this workflow config.

+# Edit Agent - Validation Checklist
+
+Use this checklist to validate agent edits meet BMAD Core standards.
+
+## Agent Structure Validation
+
+- [ ] Agent file format is valid (YAML or markdown/XML)
+- [ ] Agent type is clearly identified (full, hybrid, standalone)
+- [ ] File naming follows convention: `{agent-name}.agent.yaml` or `{agent-name}.agent.md`
+
+## Persona Validation
+
+- [ ] Role is clearly defined and specific
+- [ ] Identity/purpose articulates what the agent does
+- [ ] Communication style is specified (if custom style desired)
+- [ ] Principles are listed and actionable (if applicable)
+
+## Activation Validation
+
+- [ ] Step 1: Loads persona from current agent file
+- [ ] Step 2: Loads config file (if agent needs user context)
+- [ ] Step 3: Sets user context variables (user_name, etc.)
+- [ ] Step 4: Displays greeting using user_name and shows menu
+- [ ] Step 5: WAITs for user input (doesn't auto-execute)
+- [ ] Step 6: Processes user selection (number or trigger text)
+- [ ] Step 7: Executes appropriate menu handler
+
+## Menu Validation
+
+- [ ] All menu items numbered sequentially
+- [ ] Each item has cmd attribute with asterisk trigger (*help, *create, etc.)
+- [ ] Workflow paths are correct (if workflow attribute present)
+- [ ] Help command is present (\*help)
+- [ ] Exit command is present (\*exit)
+- [ ] Menu items are in logical order
+
+## Configuration Validation
+
+- [ ] Config file path is correct for module
+- [ ] Config variables loaded in activation step 2
+- [ ] Error handling present if config fails to load
+- [ ] user_name used in greeting and communication
+- [ ] communication_language used for output
+- [ ] output_folder used for file outputs (if applicable)
+
+## Menu Handler Validation
+
+- [ ] menu-handlers section is present
+- [ ] Workflow handler loads {project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
+- [ ] Workflow handler passes yaml path as 'workflow-config' parameter
+- [ ] Handlers check for attributes (workflow, exec, tmpl, data, action)
+- [ ] Handler logic is complete and follows patterns
+
+## Workflow Integration Validation
+
+- [ ] All workflow paths exist and are correct
+- [ ] Workflow paths use {project-root} variable
+- [ ] Workflows are appropriate for agent's purpose
+- [ ] Workflow parameters are passed correctly
+
+## Communication Validation
+
+- [ ] Agent communicates in {communication_language}
+- [ ] Communication style matches persona
+- [ ] Error messages are clear and helpful
+- [ ] Confirmation messages for user actions
+
+## Rules Validation
+
+- [ ] Rules section defines agent behavior clearly
+- [ ] File loading rules are specified
+- [ ] Menu trigger format rules are clear
+- [ ] Communication rules align with persona
+
+## Quality Checks
+
+- [ ] No placeholder text remains ({{AGENT_NAME}}, {ROLE}, etc.)
+- [ ] No broken references or missing files
+- [ ] Syntax is valid (YAML or XML)
+- [ ] Indentation is consistent
+- [ ] Agent purpose is clear from reading persona alone
+
+## Type-Specific Validation
+
+### Full Agent
+
+- [ ] Has complete menu system with multiple items
+- [ ] Loads config file for user context
+- [ ] Supports multiple workflows
+- [ ] Session management is clear
+
+### Hybrid Agent
+
+- [ ] Simplified activation (may skip some steps)
+- [ ] Focused set of workflows
+- [ ] May or may not have menu
+- [ ] Config loading is appropriate
+
+### Standalone Agent
+
+- [ ] Single focused purpose
+- [ ] Minimal activation (1-3 steps)
+- [ ] No menu system
+- [ ] Direct execution pattern
+- [ ] May not need config file
+
+## Final Checks
+
+- [ ] Agent file has been saved
+- [ ] File path is in correct module directory
+- [ ] Agent is ready for testing
+- [ ] Documentation is updated (if needed)

+4. **Manage workflows** - Add, edit, or remove workflows
+5. **Update documentation** - Improve README files and guides
+6. **Reorganize structure** - Fix directory organization
+7. **Add new agent** - Create and integrate new agent
+8. **Add new workflow** - Create and integrate new workflow
+9. **Update installer** - Modify installer configuration (source only)
+10. **Cross-module integration** - Set up workflow sharing with other modules
+11. **Remove deprecated items** - Delete unused agents, workflows, or files
+12. **Full module review** - Comprehensive analysis and improvements
+
+## Integration with Other Workflows
+
+This workflow integrates with:
+
+- **edit-agent** - For editing individual agents
+- **edit-workflow** - For editing individual workflows
+- **create-agent** - For adding new agents
+- **create-workflow** - For adding new workflows
+
+When you select options to manage agents or workflows, the appropriate specialized workflow is invoked automatically.
+
+## Module Structure
+
+A proper BMAD module has:
+
+```
+module-code/
+├── agents/              # Agent definitions
+│   └── *.agent.yaml
+├── workflows/           # Workflow definitions
+│   └── workflow-name/
+│       ├── workflow.yaml
+│       ├── instructions.md
+│       ├── checklist.md
+│       └── README.md
+├── config.yaml          # Module configuration
+└── README.md           # Module documentation
+```
+
+## Standard Module Config
+
+Every module config.yaml should have:
+
+```yaml
+module_name: 'Full Module Name'
+module_code: 'xyz'
+user_name: 'User Name'
+communication_language: 'english'
+output_folder: 'path/to/output'
+```
+
+Optional fields may be added for module-specific needs.
+
+## Cross-Module Integration
+
+Modules can share workflows:
+
+```yaml
+# In agent menu item:
+workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/other-module/workflows/shared-workflow/workflow.yaml'
+```
+
+Common patterns:
+
+- BMM uses CIS brainstorming workflows
+- All modules can use core workflows
+- Modules can invoke each other's workflows
+
+## Output
+
+The workflow modifies module files in place, including:
+
+- config.yaml
+- Agent files
+- Workflow files
+- README and documentation files
+- Directory structure (if reorganizing)
+
+Changes are reviewed and approved by you before being applied.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- **Start with analysis** - Let the workflow audit your module first
+- **Use specialized workflows** - Let edit-agent and edit-workflow handle detailed edits
+- **Update documentation** - Keep README files current with changes
+- **Validate thoroughly** - Use the validation step to catch structural issues
+- **Test after editing** - Invoke agents and workflows to verify they work
+
+## Tips
+
+- For adding agents/workflows, use options 7-8 to create and integrate in one step
+- For quick config changes, use option 2 (update module config)
+- Cross-module integration (option 10) helps set up workflow sharing
+- Full module review (option 12) is great for inherited or legacy modules
+- The workflow handles path updates when you reorganize structure
+
+## Source vs Installed Modules
+
+**Source modules** (in src/modules/):
+
+- Have installer files in tools/cli/installers/
+- Can configure web bundles
+- Are the development source of truth
+
+**Installed modules** (in .bmad/):
+
+- Are deployed to target projects
+- Use config.yaml for user customization
+- Are compiled from source during installation
+
+This workflow works with both, but installer options only apply to source modules.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```
+User: I want to add a new workflow to BMM for API design
+Workflow: Analyzes BMM → You choose option 8 (add new workflow)
+          → Invokes create-workflow → Creates workflow
+          → Integrates it into module → Updates README → Done
+```
+
+## Activation
+
+Invoke via BMad Builder agent:
+
+```
+/bmad:bmb:agents:bmad-builder
+Then select: *edit-module
+```
+
+Or directly via workflow.xml with this workflow config.

+# Edit Workflow
+
+## Purpose
+
+An intelligent workflow editor that helps you modify existing BMAD workflows while adhering to all best practices and conventions documented in the workflow creation guide.
+
+## Use Case
+
+When you need to:
+
+- Fix issues in existing workflows
+- Update workflow configuration or metadata
+- Improve instruction clarity and specificity
+- Add new features or capabilities
+- Ensure compliance with BMAD workflow conventions
+
+## How to Invoke
+
+```
+workflow edit-workflow
+```
+
+Or through a BMAD agent:
+
+```
+*edit-workflow
+```
+
+## Expected Inputs
+
+- **Target workflow path**: Path to the workflow.yaml file or workflow folder you want to edit
+- **Edit type selection**: Choice of what aspect to modify
+- **User approval**: For each proposed change
+
+## Generated Outputs
+
+- Modified workflow files (in place)
+- Optional change log at: `{output_folder}/workflow-edit-log-{date}.md`
+
+## Features
+
+1. **Comprehensive Analysis**: Checks workflows against the official creation guide
+2. **Prioritized Issues**: Identifies and ranks issues by importance
+3. **Guided Editing**: Step-by-step process with explanations
+4. **Best Practices**: Ensures all edits follow BMAD conventions
+5. **Instruction Style Optimization**: Convert between intent-based and prescriptive styles
+6. **Validation**: Checks all changes for correctness
+7. **Change Tracking**: Documents what was modified and why
+
+## Understanding Instruction Styles
+
+When editing workflows, one powerful option is **adjusting the instruction style** to better match the workflow's purpose.
+
+### Intent-Based vs Prescriptive Instructions
+
+**Intent-Based (Recommended for most workflows)**
+
+Guides the AI with goals and principles, allowing flexible conversation.
+
+- **More flexible and conversational** - AI adapts to user responses
+- **Better for complex discovery** - Requirements gathering, creative exploration
+- **Quality over consistency** - Deep understanding matters more
+- **Example**: `<action>Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics and needs</action>`
+
+**When to use:**
+
+- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements)
+- Creative brainstorming and ideation
+- Iterative refinement workflows
+- Workflows requiring nuanced understanding
+
+**Prescriptive**
+
+Provides exact questions with structured options.
+
+- **More controlled and predictable** - Consistent questions every time
+- **Better for simple data collection** - Platform, format, yes/no choices
+- **Consistency over quality** - Same execution every run
+- **Example**: `<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>`
+
+**When to use:**
+
+- Simple data collection (platform, format, binary choices)
+- Compliance verification and standards adherence
+- Configuration with finite options
+- Quick setup wizards
+
+### Edit Workflow's Style Adjustment Feature
+
+The **"Adjust instruction style"** editing option (menu option 11) helps you:
+
+1. **Analyze current style** - Identifies whether workflow is primarily intent-based or prescriptive
+2. **Convert between styles** - Transform prescriptive steps to intent-based (or vice versa)
+3. **Optimize the mix** - Intelligently recommend the best style for each step
+4. **Step-by-step control** - Review and decide on each step individually
+
+**Common scenarios:**
+
+- **Make workflow more conversational**: Convert rigid <ask> tags to flexible <action> tags for complex steps
+- **Make workflow more consistent**: Convert open-ended <action> tags to structured <ask> tags for simple data collection
+- **Balance both approaches**: Use intent-based for discovery, prescriptive for simple choices
+
+This feature is especially valuable when converting legacy workflows or adapting workflows for different use cases.
+
+## Workflow Steps
+
+1. Load and analyze target workflow
+2. Check against best practices
+3. Select editing focus
+4. Load relevant documentation
+5. Perform edits with user approval
+6. Validate all changes (optional)
+7. Generate change summary
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Access to workflow creation guide
+- Read/write permissions for target workflow
+- Understanding of BMAD workflow types

+# 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/bmm` (documents entire module: root, workflows, agents)
+- **Workflows folder**: `.bmad/bmm/workflows` (documents all workflows)
+- **Agents folder**: `.bmad/bmm/agents` (documents all agents)
+- **Single workflow**: `.bmad/bmm/workflows/product-brief` (documents one workflow)
+- **Single agent**: `.bmad/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: <timestamp>`
+
+### 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

+# BMad Method Brownfield Development Guide
+
+**Complete guide for working with existing codebases**
+

+
+## What is Brownfield Development?
+
+Brownfield projects involve working within existing codebases rather than starting fresh:
+
+- **Bug fixes** - Single file changes
+- **Small features** - Adding to existing modules
+- **Feature sets** - Multiple related features
+- **Major integrations** - Complex architectural additions
+- **System expansions** - Enterprise-scale enhancements
+
+**Key Difference from Greenfield:** You must understand and respect existing patterns, architecture, and constraints.
+
+**Core Principle:** AI agents need comprehensive documentation to understand existing code before they can effectively plan or implement changes.
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Understanding Planning Tracks
+
+For complete track details, see [Scale Adaptive System](./scale-adaptive-system.md).
+
+**Brownfield tracks at a glance:**
+
+| Track                 | Scope                      | Typical Stories | Key Difference                                  |
+| --------------------- | -------------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
+| **Quick Flow**        | Bug fixes, small features  | 1-15            | Must understand affected code and patterns      |
+| **BMad Method**       | Feature sets, integrations | 10-50+          | Integrate with existing architecture            |
+| **Enterprise Method** | Enterprise expansions      | 30+             | Full system documentation + compliance required |
+
+**Note:** Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Tracks are chosen based on planning needs.
+
+### Track Selection for Brownfield
+
+When you run `workflow-init`, it handles brownfield intelligently:
+
+**Step 1: Shows what it found**
+
+- Old planning docs (PRD, epics, stories)
+- Existing codebase
+
+**Step 2: Asks about YOUR work**
+
+> "Are these works in progress, previous effort, or proposed work?"
+
+- **(a) Works in progress** → Uses artifacts to determine level
+- **(b) Previous effort** → Asks you to describe NEW work
+- **(c) Proposed work** → Uses artifacts as guidance
+- **(d) None of these** → You explain your work
+
+**Step 3: Analyzes your description**
+
+- Keywords: "fix", "bug" → Quick Flow, "dashboard", "platform" → BMad Method, "enterprise", "multi-tenant" → Enterprise Method
+- Complexity assessment
+- Confirms suggested track with you
+
+**Key Principle:** System asks about YOUR current work first, uses old artifacts as context only.
+
+**Example: Old Complex PRD, New Simple Work**
+
+```
+System: "Found PRD.md (BMad Method track, 30 stories, 6 months old)"
+System: "Is this work in progress or previous effort?"
+You: "Previous effort - I'm just fixing a bug now"
+System: "Tell me about your current work"
+You: "Update payment method enums"
+System: "Quick Flow track (tech-spec approach). Correct?"
+You: "Yes"
+✅ Creates Quick Flow workflow
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 0: Documentation (Critical First Step)
+
+🚨 **For brownfield projects: Always ensure adequate AI-usable documentation before planning**
+
+### Default Recommendation: Run document-project
+
+**Best practice:** Run `document-project` workflow unless you have **confirmed, trusted, AI-optimized documentation**.
+
+### Why Document-Project is Almost Always the Right Choice
+
+Existing documentation often has quality issues that break AI workflows:
+
+**Common Problems:**
+
+- **Too Much Information (TMI):** Massive markdown files with 10s or 100s of level 2 sections
+- **Out of Date:** Documentation hasn't been updated with recent code changes
+- **Wrong Format:** Written for humans, not AI agents (lacks structure, index, clear patterns)
+- **Incomplete Coverage:** Missing critical architecture, patterns, or setup info
+- **Inconsistent Quality:** Some areas documented well, others not at all
+
+**Impact on AI Agents:**
+
+- AI agents hit token limits reading massive files
+- Outdated docs cause hallucinations (agent thinks old patterns still apply)
+- Missing structure means agents can't find relevant information
+- Incomplete coverage leads to incorrect assumptions
+
+### Documentation Decision Tree
+
+**Step 1: Assess Existing Documentation Quality**
+
+Ask yourself:
+
+- ✅ Is it **current** (updated in last 30 days)?
+- ✅ Is it **AI-optimized** (structured with index.md, clear sections, <500 lines per file)?
+- ✅ Is it **comprehensive** (architecture, patterns, setup all documented)?
+- ✅ Do you **trust** it completely for AI agent consumption?
+
+**If ANY answer is NO → Run `document-project`**
+
+**Step 2: Check for Massive Documents**
+
+If you have documentation but files are huge (>500 lines, 10+ level 2 sections):
+
+1. **First:** Run `shard-doc` tool to split large files:
+
+   ```bash
+   # Load BMad Master or any agent
+   .bmad/core/tools/shard-doc.xml --input docs/massive-doc.md
+   ```
+
+   - Splits on level 2 sections by default
+   - Creates organized, manageable files
+   - Preserves content integrity
+
+2. **Then:** Run `index-docs` task to create navigation:
+
+   ```bash
+   .bmad/core/tasks/index-docs.xml --directory ./docs
+   ```
+
+3. **Finally:** Validate quality - if sharded docs still seem incomplete/outdated → Run `document-project`
+
+### Four Real-World Scenarios
+
+| Scenario | You Have                                   | Action                     | Why                                     |
+| -------- | ------------------------------------------ | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
+| **A**    | No documentation                           | `document-project`         | Only option - generate from scratch     |
+| **B**    | Docs exist but massive/outdated/incomplete | `document-project`         | Safer to regenerate than trust bad docs |
+| **C**    | Good docs but no structure                 | `shard-doc` → `index-docs` | Structure existing content for AI       |
+| **D**    | Confirmed AI-optimized docs with index.md  | Skip Phase 0               | Rare - only if you're 100% confident    |
+
+### Scenario A: No Documentation (Most Common)
+
+**Action: Run document-project workflow**
+
+1. Load Analyst or Technical Writer (Paige) agent
+2. Run `*document-project`
+3. Choose scan level:
+   - **Quick** (2-5min): Pattern analysis, no source reading
+   - **Deep** (10-30min): Reads critical paths - **Recommended**
+   - **Exhaustive** (30-120min): Reads all files
+
+**Outputs:**
+
+- `docs/index.md` - Master AI entry point
+- `docs/project-overview.md` - Executive summary
+- `docs/architecture.md` - Architecture analysis
+- `docs/source-tree-analysis.md` - Directory structure
+- Additional files based on project type (API, web app, etc.)
+
+### Scenario B: Docs Exist But Quality Unknown/Poor (Very Common)
+
+**Action: Run document-project workflow (regenerate)**
+
+Even if `docs/` folder exists, if you're unsure about quality → **regenerate**.
+
+**Why regenerate instead of index?**
+
+- Outdated docs → AI makes wrong assumptions
+- Incomplete docs → AI invents missing information
+- TMI docs → AI hits token limits, misses key info
+- Human-focused docs → Missing AI-critical structure
+
+**document-project** will:
+
+- Scan actual codebase (source of truth)
+- Generate fresh, accurate documentation
+- Structure properly for AI consumption
+- Include only relevant, current information
+
+### Scenario C: Good Docs But Needs Structure
+
+**Action: Shard massive files, then index**
+
+If you have **good, current documentation** but it's in massive files:
+
+**Step 1: Shard large documents**
+
+```bash
+# For each massive doc (>500 lines or 10+ level 2 sections)
+.bmad/core/tools/shard-doc.xml \
+  --input docs/api-documentation.md \
+  --output docs/api/ \
+  --level 2  # Split on ## headers (default)
+```
+
+**Step 2: Generate index**
+
+```bash
+.bmad/core/tasks/index-docs.xml --directory ./docs
+```
+
+**Step 3: Validate**
+
+- Review generated `docs/index.md`
+- Check that sharded files are <500 lines each
+- Verify content is current and accurate
+- **If anything seems off → Run document-project instead**
+
+### Scenario D: Confirmed AI-Optimized Documentation (Rare)
+
+**Action: Skip Phase 0**
+
+Only skip if ALL conditions met:
+
+- ✅ `docs/index.md` exists and is comprehensive
+- ✅ Documentation updated within last 30 days
+- ✅ All doc files <500 lines with clear structure
+- ✅ Covers architecture, patterns, setup, API surface
+- ✅ You personally verified quality for AI consumption
+- ✅ Previous AI agents used it successfully
+
+**If unsure → Run document-project** (costs 10-30 minutes, saves hours of confusion)
+
+### Why document-project is Critical
+
+Without AI-optimized documentation, workflows fail:
+
+- **tech-spec** (Quick Flow) can't auto-detect stack/patterns → Makes wrong assumptions
+- **PRD** (BMad Method) can't reference existing code → Designs incompatible features
+- **architecture** can't build on existing structure → Suggests conflicting patterns
+- **story-context** can't inject existing patterns → Dev agent rewrites working code
+- **dev-story** invents implementations → Breaks existing integrations
+
+### Key Principle
+
+**When in doubt, run document-project.**
+
+It's better to spend 10-30 minutes generating fresh, accurate docs than to waste hours debugging AI agents working from bad documentation.
+
+---
+
+## Workflow Phases by Track
+
+### Phase 1: Analysis (Optional)
+
+**Workflows:**
+
+- `brainstorm-project` - Solution exploration
+- `research` - Technical/market research
+- `product-brief` - Strategic planning (BMad Method/Enterprise tracks only)
+
+**When to use:** Complex features, technical decisions, strategic additions
+
+**When to skip:** Bug fixes, well-understood features, time-sensitive changes
+
+See the [Workflows section in BMM README](../README.md) for details.
+
+### Phase 2: Planning (Required)
+
+**Planning approach adapts by track:**
+
+**Quick Flow:** Use `tech-spec` workflow
+
+- Creates tech-spec.md
+- Auto-detects existing stack (brownfield)
+- Confirms conventions with you
+- Generates implementation-ready stories
+
+**BMad Method/Enterprise:** Use `prd` workflow
+
+- Creates PRD.md + epic breakdown
+- References existing architecture
+- Plans integration points
+
+**Brownfield-specific:** See [Scale Adaptive System](./scale-adaptive-system.md) for complete workflow paths by track.
+
+### Phase 3: Solutioning (BMad Method/Enterprise Only)
+
+**Critical for brownfield:**
+
+- Review existing architecture FIRST
+- Document integration points explicitly
+- Plan backward compatibility
+- Consider migration strategy
+
+**Workflows:**
+
+- `create-architecture` - Extend architecture docs (BMad Method/Enterprise)
+- `solutioning-gate-check` - Validate before implementation (BMad Method/Enterprise)
+
+### Phase 4: Implementation (All Tracks)
+
+**Sprint-based development through story iteration:**

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

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

+
+## The Paradigm Shift
+
+### Traditional Agile: Team-Based Story Parallelism
+
+- **Epic duration:** 4-12 weeks across multiple sprints
+- **Story duration:** 2-5 days per developer
+- **Team size:** 5-9 developers working on same epic
+- **Parallelization:** Multiple devs on stories within single epic
+- **Coordination:** Constant - daily standups, merge conflicts, integration overhead
+
+**Example:** Payment Processing Epic
+
+- Sprint 1-2: Backend API (Dev A)
+- Sprint 1-2: Frontend UI (Dev B)
+- Sprint 2-3: Testing (Dev C)
+- **Result:** 6-8 weeks, 3 developers, high coordination
+
+### Agentic Development: Individual Epic Ownership
+
+- **Epic duration:** Hours to days (not weeks)
+- **Story duration:** 30 min to 4 hours with AI agent
+- **Team size:** 1 developer + AI agents completes full epics
+- **Parallelization:** Developers work on separate epics
+- **Coordination:** Minimal - epic boundaries, async updates
+
+**Same Example:** Payment Processing Epic
+
+- Day 1 AM: Backend API stories (1 dev + agent, 3-4 stories)
+- Day 1 PM: Frontend UI stories (same dev + agent, 2-3 stories)
+- Day 2: Testing & deployment (same dev + agent, 2 stories)
+- **Result:** 1-2 days, 1 developer, minimal coordination
+
+### The Core Difference
+
+**What changed:** AI agents collapse story duration from days to hours, making **epic-level ownership** practical.
+
+**Impact:** Single developer with BMad Method can deliver in 1 day what previously required full team and multiple sprints.
+
+---
+
+## The Evolving Role of Product Managers and UX Designers
+
+### The Future is Now
+
+Product Managers and UX Designers are undergoing **the most significant transformation since the creation of these disciplines**. The emergence of AI agents is creating a new breed of technical product leaders who translate vision directly into working code.
+
+### From Spec Writers to Code Orchestrators
+
+**Traditional PM/UX (Pre-2025):**
+
+- Write PRDs, hand off to engineering
+- Wait weeks/months for implementation
+- Limited validation capabilities
+- Non-technical role, heavy on process
+
+**Emerging PM/UX (2025+):**
+
+- Write AI-optimized PRDs that **feed agentic pipelines directly**
+- Generate working prototypes in 10-15 minutes
+- Review pull requests from AI agents
+- Technical fluency is **table stakes**, not optional
+- Orchestrate cloud-based AI agent teams
+
+### Industry Research (November 2025)
+
+- **56% of product professionals** cite AI/ML as top focus
+- **AI agents automating** customer discovery, PRD creation, status reporting
+- **PRD-to-Code automation** enables PMs to build and deploy apps in 10-15 minutes
+- **By 2026**: Roles converging into "Full-Stack Product Lead" (PM + Design + Engineering)
+- **Very high salaries** for AI agent PMs who orchestrate autonomous dev systems
+
+### Required Skills for Modern PMs/UX
+
+1. **AI Prompt Engineering** - Writing PRDs AI agents can execute autonomously
+2. **Coding Literacy** - Understanding code structure, APIs, data flows (not production coding)
+3. **Agentic Workflow Design** - Orchestrating multi-agent systems (planning → design → dev)
+4. **Technical Architecture** - Reasoning frameworks, memory systems, tool integration
+5. **Data Literacy** - Interpreting model outputs, spotting trends, identifying gaps
+6. **Code Review** - Evaluating AI-generated PRs for correctness and vision alignment
+
+### What Remains Human
+
+**AI Can't Replace:**
+
+- Product vision (market dynamics, customer pain, strategic positioning)
+- Empathy (deep user research, emotional intelligence, stakeholder management)
+- Creativity (novel problem-solving, disruptive thinking)
+- Judgment (prioritization decisions, trade-off analysis)
+- Ethics (responsible AI use, privacy, accessibility)
+
+**What Changes:**
+
+- PMs/UX spend **more time on human elements** (AI handles routine execution)
+- Barrier between "thinking" and "building" collapses
+- Product leaders become **builder-thinkers**, not just spec writers
+
+### The Convergence
+
+- **PMs learning to code** with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, v0
+- **UX designers generating code** with UXPin Merge, Figma-to-code tools
+- **Developers becoming orchestrators** reviewing AI output vs writing from scratch
+
+**The Bottom Line:** By 2026, successful PMs/UX will fluently operate in both vision and execution. **BMad Method provides the structured framework to make this transition.**
+
+---
+
+## How BMad Method Enables PM/UX Technical Evolution
+
+BMad Method is specifically designed to position PMs and UX designers for this future.
+
+### 1. AI-Executable PRD Generation
+
+**PM Workflow:**
+
+```bash
+bmad pm *create-prd
+```
+
+**BMad produces:**
+
+- Structured, machine-readable requirements
+- Testable acceptance criteria per requirement
+- Clear epic/story decomposition
+- Technical context for AI agents
+
+**Why it matters:** Traditional PRDs are human-readable prose. BMad PRDs are **AI-executable work packages**.
+
+**PM Value:** Write once, automatically translated into agent-ready stories. No engineering bottleneck for translation.
+
+### 2. Automated Epic/Story Breakdown
+
+**PM Workflow:**
+
+```bash
+bmad pm *create-epics-and-stories
+```
+
+**BMad produces:**
+
+- Epic files with clear objectives
+- Story files with acceptance criteria, context, technical guidance
+- Priority assignments (P0-P3)
+- Dependency mapping
+
+**Why it matters:** Stories become **work packages for cloud AI agents**. Each story is self-contained with full context.
+
+**PM Value:** No more "story refinement sessions" with engineering. AI agents execute directly from BMad stories.
+
+### 3. Human-in-the-Loop Architecture
+
+**Architect/PM Workflow:**
+
+```bash
+bmad architect *create-architecture
+```
+
+**BMad produces:**
+
+- System architecture aligned with PRD
+- Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
+- Epic-specific technical guidance
+- Integration patterns and standards
+
+**Why it matters:** PMs can **understand and validate** technical decisions. Architecture is conversational, not template-driven.
+
+**PM Value:** Technical fluency built through guided architecture process. PMs learn while creating.
+
+### 4. Cloud Agentic Pipeline (Emerging Pattern)
+
+**Current State (2025):**
+
+```
+PM writes BMad PRD
+   ↓
+create-epics-and-stories generates story queue
+   ↓
+Stories loaded by human developers + BMad agents
+   ↓
+Developers create PRs
+   ↓
+PM/Team reviews PRs
+   ↓
+Merge and deploy
+```
+
+**Near Future (2026):**
+
+```
+PM writes BMad PRD
+   ↓
+create-epics-and-stories generates story queue
+   ↓
+Stories automatically fed to cloud AI agent pool
+   ↓
+AI agents implement stories in parallel
+   ↓
+AI agents create pull requests
+   ↓
+PM/UX/Senior Devs review PRs
+   ↓
+Approved PRs auto-merge
+   ↓
+Continuous deployment to production
+```
+
+**Time Savings:**
+
+- **Traditional:** PM writes spec → 2-4 weeks engineering → review → deploy (6-8 weeks)
+- **BMad Agentic:** PM writes PRD → AI agents implement → review PRs → deploy (2-5 days)
+
+### 5. UX Design Integration
+
+**UX Designer Workflow:**
+
+```bash
+bmad ux *create-design
+```
+
+**BMad produces:**
+
+- Component-based design system
+- Interaction patterns aligned with tech stack
+- Accessibility guidelines
+- Responsive design specifications
+
+**Why it matters:** Design specs become **implementation-ready** for AI agents. No "lost in translation" between design and dev.
+
+**UX Value:** Designs validated through working prototypes, not static mocks. Technical understanding built through BMad workflows.
+
+### 6. PM Technical Skills Development
+
+**BMad teaches PMs technical skills through:**
+
+- **Conversational workflows** - No pre-requisite knowledge, learn by doing
+- **Architecture facilitation** - Understand system design through guided questions
+- **Story context assembly** - See how code patterns inform implementation
+- **Code review workflows** - Learn to evaluate code quality, patterns, standards
+
+**Example:** PM runs `create-architecture` workflow:
+
+- BMad asks about scale, performance, integrations
+- PM answers business questions
+- BMad explains technical implications
+- PM learns architecture concepts while making decisions
+
+**Result:** PMs gain **working technical knowledge** without formal CS education.
+
+### 7. Organizational Leverage
+
+**Traditional Model:**
+
+- 1 PM → supports 5-9 developers → delivers 1-2 features/quarter
+
+**BMad Agentic Model:**
+
+- 1 PM → writes BMad PRD → 20-50 AI agents execute stories in parallel → delivers 5-10 features/quarter
+
+**Leverage multiplier:** 5-10× with same PM headcount.
+
+### 8. Quality Consistency
+
+**BMad ensures:**
+
+- AI agents follow architectural patterns consistently (via story-context)
+- Code standards applied uniformly (via epic-tech-context)
+- PRD traceability throughout implementation (via acceptance criteria)
+- No "telephone game" between PM, design, and dev
+
+**PM Value:** What gets built **matches what was specified**, drastically reducing rework.
+
+### 9. Rapid Prototyping for Validation
+
+**PM Workflow (with BMad + Cursor/v0):**
+
+1. Use BMad to generate PRD structure and requirements
+2. Extract key user flow from PRD
+3. Feed to Cursor/v0 with BMad context
+4. Working prototype in 10-15 minutes
+5. Validate with users **before** committing to full development
+
+**Traditional:** Months of development to validate idea
+**BMad Agentic:** Hours of development to validate idea
+
+### 10. Career Path Evolution
+
+**BMad positions PMs for emerging roles:**
+
+- **AI Agent Product Manager** - Orchestrate autonomous development systems
+- **Full-Stack Product Lead** - Oversee product, design, engineering with AI leverage
+- **Technical Product Strategist** - Bridge business vision and technical execution
+
+**Hiring advantage:** PMs using BMad demonstrate:
+
+- Technical fluency (can read architecture, validate tech decisions)
+- AI-native workflows (structured requirements, agentic orchestration)
+- Results (ship 5-10× faster than peers)
+

+
+## Team Collaboration Patterns
+
+### Old Pattern: Story Parallelism
+
+**Traditional Agile:**
+
+```
+Epic: User Dashboard (8 weeks)
+├─ Story 1: Backend API (Dev A, Sprint 1-2)
+├─ Story 2: Frontend Layout (Dev B, Sprint 1-2)
+├─ Story 3: Data Viz (Dev C, Sprint 2-3)
+└─ Story 4: Integration Testing (Team, Sprint 3-4)
+
+Challenge: Coordination overhead, merge conflicts, integration issues
+```
+
+### New Pattern: Epic Ownership
+
+**Agentic Development:**
+
+```
+Project: Analytics Platform (2-3 weeks)
+
+Developer A:
+└─ Epic 1: User Dashboard (3 days, 12 stories sequentially with AI)
+
+Developer B:
+└─ Epic 2: Admin Panel (4 days, 15 stories sequentially with AI)
+
+Developer C:
+└─ Epic 3: Reporting Engine (5 days, 18 stories sequentially with AI)
+
+Benefit: Minimal coordination, epic-level ownership, clear boundaries
+```
+
+---
+
+## Work Distribution Strategies
+
+### Strategy 1: Epic-Based (Recommended)
+
+**Best for:** 2-10 developers
+
+**Approach:** Each developer owns complete epics, works sequentially through stories
+
+**Example:**
+
+```yaml
+epics:
+  - id: epic-1
+    title: Payment Processing
+    owner: alice
+    stories: 8
+    estimate: 2 days
+
+  - id: epic-2
+    title: User Dashboard
+    owner: bob
+    stories: 12
+    estimate: 3 days
+```
+
+**Benefits:** Clear ownership, minimal conflicts, epic cohesion, reduced coordination
+
+### Strategy 2: Layer-Based
+
+**Best for:** Full-stack apps, specialized teams
+
+**Example:**
+
+```
+Frontend Dev: Epic 1 (Product Catalog UI), Epic 3 (Cart UI)
+Backend Dev: Epic 2 (Product API), Epic 4 (Cart Service)
+```
+
+**Benefits:** Developers in expertise area, true parallel work, clear API contracts
+
+**Requirements:** Strong architecture phase, clear API contracts upfront
+
+### Strategy 3: Feature-Based
+
+**Best for:** Large teams (10+ developers)
+
+**Example:**
+
+```
+Team A (2 devs): Payments feature (4 epics)
+Team B (2 devs): User Management feature (3 epics)
+Team C (2 devs): Analytics feature (3 epics)
+```
+
+**Benefits:** Feature team autonomy, domain expertise, scalable to large orgs

+**Problem:** Teams customize BMad (agents, workflows, configs) but don't want personal tooling in main repo.
+
+**Anti-pattern:** Adding `.bmad/` to `.gitignore` breaks IDE tools, submodule management.
+
+### The Solution: Git Submodules
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+- BMad exists in project but tracked separately
+- Each developer controls their own BMad version/config
+- Optional team config sharing via submodule repo
+- IDE tools maintain proper context
+
+### Setup (New Projects)
+
+**1. Create optional team config repo:**
+
+```bash
+git init bmm-config
+cd bmm-config
+npx bmad-method install
+# Customize for team standards
+git commit -m "Team BMM config"
+git push origin main
+```
+
+**2. Add submodule to project:**
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/your-project
+git submodule add https://github.com/your-org/bmm-config.git bmad
+git commit -m "Add BMM as submodule"
+```
+
+**3. Team members initialize:**
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/your-org/your-project.git
+cd your-project
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+# Make personal customizations in .bmad/
+```
+
+### Daily Workflow
+
+**Work in main project:**
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/your-project
+# BMad available at ./.bmad/, load agents normally
+```
+
+**Update personal config:**
+
+```bash
+cd bmad
+# Make changes, commit locally, don't push unless sharing
+```
+
+**Update to latest team config:**
+
+```bash
+cd bmad
+git pull origin main
+```
+
+### Configuration Strategies
+
+**Option 1: Fully Personal** - No submodule, each dev installs independently, use `.gitignore`
+
+**Option 2: Team Baseline + Personal** - Submodule has team standards, devs add personal customizations locally
+
+**Option 3: Full Team Sharing** - All configs in submodule, team collaborates on improvements
+

+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Epic Ownership
+
+- **Do:** Assign entire epic to one developer (context → implementation → retro)
+- **Don't:** Split epics across multiple developers (coordination overhead, context loss)
+
+### 2. Dependency Management
+
+- **Do:** Identify epic dependencies in planning, document API contracts, complete prerequisites first
+- **Don't:** Start dependent epic before prerequisite ready, change API contracts without coordination
+
+### 3. Communication Cadence
+
+**Traditional:** Daily standups essential
+**Agentic:** Lighter coordination
+
+**Recommended:**
+
+- Daily async updates ("Epic 1, 60% complete, no blockers")
+- Twice-weekly 15min sync
+- Epic completion demos
+- Sprint retro after all epics complete
+
+### 4. Branch Strategy
+
+```bash
+feature/epic-1-payment-processing    (Alice)
+feature/epic-2-user-dashboard        (Bob)
+feature/epic-3-admin-panel           (Carol)
+
+# PR and merge when epic complete
+```
+
+### 5. Testing Strategy
+
+- **Story-level:** Unit tests (DoD requirement, written by agent during dev-story)
+- **Epic-level:** Integration tests across stories
+- **Project-level:** E2E tests after multiple epics complete
+
+### 6. Documentation Updates
+
+- **Real-time:** `sprint-status.yaml` updated by workflows
+- **Epic completion:** Update architecture docs, API docs, README if changed
+- **Sprint completion:** Incorporate retrospective insights
+
+### 7. Metrics (Different from Traditional)
+
+**Traditional:** Story points per sprint, burndown charts
+**Agentic:** Epics per week, stories per day, time to epic completion
+
+**Example velocity:**
+
+- Junior dev + AI: 1-2 epics/week (8-15 stories)
+- Mid-level dev + AI: 2-3 epics/week (15-25 stories)
+- Senior dev + AI: 3-5 epics/week (25-40 stories)

+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+### Key Transformation
+
+**Work Unit Changed:**
+
+- **Old:** Story = unit of work assignment
+- **New:** Epic = unit of work assignment
+
+**Why:** AI agents collapse story duration (days → hours), making epic ownership practical.
+
+### Velocity Impact
+
+- **Traditional:** Months for epic delivery, heavy coordination
+- **Agentic:** Days for epic delivery, minimal coordination
+- **Result:** 10-50× productivity gains
+
+### PM/UX Evolution
+
+**BMad Method enables:**
+
+- PMs to write AI-executable PRDs
+- UX designers to validate through working prototypes
+- Technical fluency without CS degrees
+- Orchestration of cloud AI agent teams
+- Career evolution to Full-Stack Product Lead
+
+### Enterprise Adoption
+
+**Git submodules:** Best practice for BMM management across teams
+**Team flexibility:** Mix of tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) with shared BMM foundation
+**Scalable patterns:** Epic-based, layer-based, feature-based distribution strategies
+
+### The Future (2026)
+
+PMs write BMad PRDs → Stories auto-fed to cloud AI agents → Parallel implementation → Human review of PRs → Continuous deployment
+
+**The future isn't AI replacing PMs—it's AI-augmented PMs becoming 10× more powerful.**

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

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

+
+### Q: What is party mode and when should I use it?
+
+**A:** Party mode is a unique multi-agent collaboration feature where ALL your installed agents (19+ from BMM, CIS, BMB, custom modules) discuss your challenges together in real-time.
+
+**How it works:**
+
+1. Run `/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode` (or `*party-mode` from any agent)
+2. Introduce your topic
+3. BMad Master selects 2-3 most relevant agents per message
+4. Agents cross-talk, debate, and build on each other's ideas
+
+**Best for:**
+
+- Strategic decisions with trade-offs (architecture choices, tech stack, scope)
+- Creative brainstorming (game design, product innovation, UX ideation)
+- Cross-functional alignment (epic kickoffs, retrospectives, phase transitions)
+- Complex problem-solving (multi-faceted challenges, risk assessment)
+
+**Example parties:**
+
+- **Product Strategy:** PM + Innovation Strategist (CIS) + Analyst
+- **Technical Design:** Architect + Creative Problem Solver (CIS) + Game Architect
+- **User Experience:** UX Designer + Design Thinking Coach (CIS) + Storyteller (CIS)
+
+**Why it's powerful:**
+
+- Diverse perspectives (technical, creative, strategic)
+- Healthy debate reveals blind spots
+- Emergent insights from agent interaction
+- Natural collaboration across modules

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

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

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

+# Load DEV agent and run dev-story for each story
+```
+
+### Story Sequencing
+
+Stories are **automatically validated** to ensure proper sequence:
+
+- ✅ No forward dependencies (Story 2 can't depend on Story 3)
+- ✅ Clear dependency documentation
+- ✅ Infrastructure → Features → Polish order
+- ✅ Backend → Frontend flow
+
+### Example Small Feature Scenarios
+
+- "Add OAuth social login (Google, GitHub, Twitter)"
+- "Build user profile page with avatar upload"
+- "Implement basic search with filters"
+- "Add dark mode toggle to application"
+
+---
+
+## Smart Context Discovery
+
+Quick Spec Flow automatically discovers and uses:
+
+### 1. Existing Documentation
+
+- Product briefs (if they exist)
+- Research documents
+- `document-project` output (brownfield codebase map)
+
+### 2. Project Stack
+
+- **Node.js:** package.json → frameworks, dependencies, scripts, test framework
+- **Python:** requirements.txt, pyproject.toml → packages, tools
+- **Ruby:** Gemfile → gems and versions
+- **Java:** pom.xml, build.gradle → Maven/Gradle dependencies
+- **Go:** go.mod → modules
+- **Rust:** Cargo.toml → crates
+- **PHP:** composer.json → packages
+
+### 3. Brownfield Code Patterns
+
+- Directory structure and organization
+- Existing code patterns (class-based, functional, MVC)
+- Naming conventions (camelCase, snake_case, PascalCase)
+- Test frameworks and patterns
+- Code style (semicolons, quotes, indentation)
+- Linter/formatter configs
+- Error handling patterns
+- Logging conventions
+- Documentation style
+
+### 4. Convention Confirmation
+
+**IMPORTANT:** Quick Spec Flow detects your conventions and **asks for confirmation**:
+
+```
+I've detected these conventions in your codebase:
+
+Code Style:
+- ESLint with Airbnb config
+- Prettier with single quotes, 2-space indent
+- No semicolons
+
+Test Patterns:
+- Jest test framework
+- .test.js file naming
+- expect() assertion style
+
+Should I follow these existing conventions? (yes/no)
+```
+
+**You decide:** Conform to existing patterns or establish new standards!
+
+---
+
+## Modern Best Practices via WebSearch
+
+Quick Spec Flow stays current by using WebSearch when appropriate:
+
+### For Greenfield Projects
+
+- Searches for latest framework versions
+- Recommends official starter templates
+- Suggests modern best practices
+
+### For Outdated Dependencies
+
+- Detects if your dependencies are >2 years old
+- Searches for migration guides
+- Notes upgrade complexity
+
+### Starter Template Recommendations
+
+For greenfield projects, Quick Spec Flow recommends:
+
+**React:**
+
+- Vite (modern, fast)
+- Next.js (full-stack)
+
+**Python:**
+

+- UX flow changes (current vs new)
+- Responsive design needs (mobile, tablet, desktop)
+- Accessibility requirements:
+  - Keyboard navigation
+  - Screen reader compatibility
+  - ARIA labels
+  - Color contrast standards
+- User feedback patterns:
+  - Loading states
+  - Error messages
+  - Success confirmations
+  - Progress indicators
+
+---
+
+## Auto-Validation and Quality Assurance
+
+Quick Spec Flow **automatically validates** everything:
+
+### Tech-Spec Validation (Always Runs)
+
+Checks:
+
+- ✅ Context gathering completeness
+- ✅ Definitiveness (no "use X or Y" statements)
+- ✅ Brownfield integration quality
+- ✅ Stack alignment
+- ✅ Implementation readiness
+
+Generates scores:
+
+```
+✅ Validation Passed!
+- Context Gathering: Comprehensive
+- Definitiveness: All definitive
+- Brownfield Integration: Excellent
+- Stack Alignment: Perfect
+- Implementation Readiness: ✅ Ready
+```
+
+### Story Validation (Multi-Story Features)
+
+Checks:
+
+- ✅ Story sequence (no forward dependencies!)
+- ✅ Acceptance criteria quality (specific, testable)
+- ✅ Completeness (all tech spec tasks covered)
+- ✅ Clear dependency documentation
+
+**Auto-fixes issues if found!**
+

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

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

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

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

+# BMad Method Scale Adaptive System
+
+**Automatically adapts workflows to project complexity - from quick fixes to enterprise systems**
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+The **Scale Adaptive System** intelligently routes projects to the right planning methodology based on complexity, not arbitrary story counts.
+
+### The Problem
+
+Traditional methodologies apply the same process to every project:
+
+- Bug fix requires full design docs
+- Enterprise system built with minimal planning
+- One-size-fits-none approach
+
+### The Solution
+
+BMad Method adapts to three distinct planning tracks:
+
+- **Quick Flow**: Tech-spec only, implement immediately
+- **BMad Method**: PRD + Architecture, structured approach
+- **Enterprise Method**: Full planning with security/devops/test
+
+**Result**: Right planning depth for every project.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### Three Tracks at a Glance
+
+| Track                 | Planning Depth        | Time Investment | Best For                                   |
+| --------------------- | --------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
+| **Quick Flow**        | Tech-spec only        | Hours to 1 day  | Simple features, bug fixes, clear scope    |
+| **BMad Method**       | PRD + Arch + UX       | 1-3 days        | Products, platforms, complex features      |
+| **Enterprise Method** | Method + Test/Sec/Ops | 3-7 days        | Enterprise needs, compliance, multi-tenant |
+
+### Decision Tree
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    START{Describe your project}
+
+    START -->|Bug fix, simple feature| Q1{Scope crystal clear?}
+    START -->|Product, platform, complex| M[BMad Method<br/>PRD + Architecture]
+    START -->|Enterprise, compliance| E[Enterprise Method<br/>Extended Planning]
+
+    Q1 -->|Yes| QF[Quick Flow<br/>Tech-spec only]
+    Q1 -->|Uncertain| M
+
+    style QF fill:#bfb,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px,color:#000
+    style M fill:#bbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px,color:#000
+    style E fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px,color:#000
+```
+
+### Quick Keywords
+
+- **Quick Flow**: fix, bug, simple, add, clear scope
+- **BMad Method**: product, platform, dashboard, complex, multiple features
+- **Enterprise Method**: enterprise, multi-tenant, compliance, security, audit
+
+---
+
+## How Track Selection Works
+
+When you run `workflow-init`, it guides you through an educational choice:
+
+### 1. Description Analysis
+
+Analyzes your project description for complexity indicators and suggests an appropriate track.
+
+### 2. Educational Presentation
+
+Shows all three tracks with:
+
+- Time investment
+- Planning approach
+- Benefits and trade-offs
+- AI agent support level
+- Concrete examples
+
+### 3. Honest Recommendation
+
+Provides tailored recommendation based on:
+
+- Complexity keywords
+- Greenfield vs brownfield
+- User's description
+
+### 4. User Choice
+
+You choose the track that fits your situation. The system guides but never forces.
+
+**Example:**
+
+```
+workflow-init: "Based on 'Add user dashboard with analytics', I recommend BMad Method.
+               This involves multiple features and system design. The PRD + Architecture
+               gives AI agents complete context for better code generation."
+
+You: "Actually, this is simpler than it sounds. Quick Flow."
+
+workflow-init: "Got it! Using Quick Flow with tech-spec."
+```
+
+---
+
+## The Three Tracks
+
+### Track 1: Quick Flow
+
+**Definition**: Fast implementation with tech-spec planning.
+
+**Time**: Hours to 1 day of planning
+
+**Planning Docs**:
+
+- Tech-spec.md (implementation-focused)
+- Story files (1-15 typically, auto-detects epic structure)
+
+**Workflow Path**:
+
+```
+(Brownfield: document-project first if needed)
+↓
+Tech-Spec → Implement
+```
+
+**Use For**:
+
+- Bug fixes
+- Simple features
+- Enhancements with clear scope
+- Quick additions
+
+**Story Count**: Typically 1-15 stories (guidance, not rule)
+
+**Example**: "Fix authentication token expiration bug"
+
+**AI Agent Support**: Basic - minimal context provided
+
+**Trade-off**: Less planning = higher rework risk if complexity emerges
+
+---
+
+### Track 2: BMad Method (RECOMMENDED)
+
+**Definition**: Full product + system design planning.
+
+**Time**: 1-3 days of planning
+
+**Planning Docs**:
+
+- PRD.md (product requirements)
+- Architecture.md (system design)
+- UX Design (if UI components)
+- Epic breakdown with stories
+
+**Workflow Path**:
+
+```
+(Brownfield: document-project first if needed)
+↓
+(Optional: Analysis phase - brainstorm, research, product brief)
+↓
+PRD → (Optional UX) → Architecture → Gate Check → Implement
+```
+
+**Use For**:
+
+**Greenfield**:
+
+- Products
+- Platforms
+- Multi-feature initiatives
+
+**Brownfield**:
+
+- Complex additions (new UIs + APIs)
+- Major refactors
+- New modules
+
+**Story Count**: Typically 10-50+ stories (guidance, not rule)
+
+**Examples**:
+
+- "User dashboard with analytics and preferences"
+- "Add real-time collaboration to existing document editor"
+- "Payment integration system"
+
+**AI Agent Support**: Exceptional - complete context for coding partnership
+
+**Why Architecture for Brownfield?**
+
+Your brownfield documentation might be huge. Architecture workflow distills massive codebase context into a focused solution design specific to YOUR project. This keeps AI agents focused without getting lost in existing code.
+
+**Benefits**:
+
+- Complete AI agent context
+- Prevents architectural drift
+- Fewer surprises during implementation
+- Better code quality
+- Faster overall delivery (planning pays off)
+
+---
+
+### Track 3: Enterprise Method
+
+**Definition**: Extended planning with security, devops, and test strategy.
+
+**Time**: 3-7 days of planning
+
+**Planning Docs**:
+
+- All BMad Method docs PLUS:
+- Security Architecture
+- DevOps Strategy
+- Test Strategy
+- Compliance documentation
+
+**Workflow Path**:
+
+```
+(Brownfield: document-project nearly mandatory)
+↓
+Analysis (recommended/required) → PRD → UX → Architecture
+↓
+Security Architecture → DevOps Strategy → Test Strategy
+↓
+Gate Check → Implement
+```
+
+**Use For**:
+
+- Enterprise requirements
+- Multi-tenant systems
+- Compliance needs (HIPAA, SOC2, etc.)
+- Mission-critical systems
+- Security-sensitive applications
+
+**Story Count**: Typically 30+ stories (but defined by enterprise needs, not count)
+
+**Examples**:
+
+- "Multi-tenant SaaS platform"
+- "HIPAA-compliant patient portal"
+- "Add SOC2 audit logging to enterprise app"
+
+**AI Agent Support**: Elite - comprehensive enterprise planning
+
+**Critical for Enterprise**:
+
+- Security architecture and threat modeling
+- DevOps pipeline planning
+- Comprehensive test strategy
+- Risk assessment
+- Compliance mapping

+
+## Brownfield Projects
+
+### Critical First Step
+
+For ALL brownfield projects: Run `document-project` BEFORE planning workflows.
+
+### Why document-project is Critical
+
+**Quick Flow** uses it for:
+
+- Auto-detecting existing patterns
+- Understanding codebase structure
+- Confirming conventions
+
+**BMad Method** uses it for:
+
+- Architecture inputs (existing structure)
+- Integration design
+- Pattern consistency
+
+**Enterprise Method** uses it for:
+
+- Security analysis
+- Integration architecture
+- Risk assessment
+
+### Brownfield Workflow Pattern
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    START([Brownfield Project])
+    CHECK{Has docs/<br/>index.md?}

+    style TRACK fill:#bfb,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px,color:#000
+```
+
+---
+
+## Common Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Bug Fix (Quick Flow)
+
+**Input**: "Fix email validation bug in login form"
+
+**Detection**: Keywords "fix", "bug"
+
+**Track**: Quick Flow
+
+**Workflow**:
+
+1. (Optional) Brief analysis
+2. Tech-spec with single story
+3. Implement immediately
+
+**Time**: 2-4 hours total
+
+---
+
+### Scenario 2: Small Feature (Quick Flow)
+
+**Input**: "Add OAuth social login (Google, GitHub, Facebook)"
+
+**Detection**: Keywords "add", "feature", clear scope
+
+**Track**: Quick Flow
+
+**Workflow**:
+
+1. (Optional) Research OAuth providers
+2. Tech-spec with 3 stories
+3. Implement story-by-story
+
+**Time**: 1-3 days
+
+---
+

+
+**Input**: "Build customer portal with dashboard, tickets, billing"
+
+**Detection**: Keywords "portal", "dashboard", multiple features
+
+**Track**: BMad Method
+
+**Workflow**:
+
+1. (Recommended) Product Brief
+2. PRD with epics
+3. (If UI) UX Design
+4. Architecture (system design)
+5. Gate Check
+6. Implement with sprint planning
+
+**Time**: 1-2 weeks
+
+---
+
+### Scenario 4: E-commerce Platform (BMad Method)
+
+**Input**: "Build e-commerce platform with products, cart, checkout, admin, analytics"
+
+**Detection**: Keywords "platform", multiple subsystems
+
+**Track**: BMad Method
+
+**Workflow**:
+
+1. Research + Product Brief
+2. Comprehensive PRD
+3. UX Design (recommended)
+4. System Architecture (required)
+5. Gate check
+6. Implement with phased approach
+
+**Time**: 3-6 weeks
+
+---
+
+### Scenario 5: Brownfield Addition (BMad Method)
+
+**Input**: "Add search functionality to existing product catalog"
+
+**Detection**: Brownfield + moderate complexity
+
+**Track**: BMad Method (not Quick Flow)
+
+**Critical First Step**:
+
+1. **Run document-project** to analyze existing codebase
+
+**Then Workflow**: 2. PRD for search feature 3. Architecture (integration design - highly recommended) 4. Implement following existing patterns
+
+**Time**: 1-2 weeks
+
+**Why Method not Quick Flow?**: Integration with existing catalog system benefits from architecture planning to ensure consistency.
+
+---
+
+### Scenario 6: Multi-tenant Platform (Enterprise Method)
+
+**Input**: "Add multi-tenancy to existing single-tenant SaaS platform"
+
+**Detection**: Keywords "multi-tenant", enterprise scale
+
+**Track**: Enterprise Method
+
+**Workflow**:
+
+1. Document-project (mandatory)
+2. Research (compliance, security)
+3. PRD (multi-tenancy requirements)
+4. Architecture (tenant isolation design)
+5. Security Architecture (data isolation, auth)
+6. DevOps Strategy (tenant provisioning, monitoring)
+7. Test Strategy (tenant isolation testing)
+8. Gate check
+9. Phased implementation
+
+**Time**: 3-6 months
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Document-Project First for Brownfield
+
+Always run `document-project` before starting brownfield planning. AI agents need existing codebase context.
+
+### 2. Trust the Recommendation
+
+If `workflow-init` suggests BMad Method, there's probably complexity you haven't considered. Review carefully before overriding.
+
+### 3. Start Smaller if Uncertain
+
+Uncertain between Quick Flow and Method? Start with Quick Flow. You can create PRD later if needed.
+
+### 4. Don't Skip Gate Checks
+
+For BMad Method and Enterprise, gate checks prevent costly mistakes. Invest the time.
+
+### 5. Architecture is Optional but Recommended for Brownfield
+
+Brownfield BMad Method makes architecture optional, but it's highly recommended. It distills complex codebase into focused solution design.
+
+### 6. Discovery Phase Based on Need
+
+Brainstorming and research are offered regardless of track. Use them when you need to think through the problem space.
+
+### 7. Product Brief for Greenfield Method
+
+Product Brief is only offered for greenfield BMad Method and Enterprise. It's optional but helps with strategic thinking.
+
+---
+
+## Key Differences from Legacy System
+
+### Old System (Levels 0-4)
+
+- Arbitrary story count thresholds
+- Level 2 vs Level 3 based on story count
+- Confusing overlap zones (5-10 stories, 12-40 stories)
+- Tech-spec and PRD shown as conflicting options
+
+### New System (3 Tracks)
+
+- Methodology-based distinction (not story counts)
+- Story counts as guidance, not definitions
+- Clear track purposes:
+  - Quick Flow = Implementation-focused
+  - BMad Method = Product + system design
+  - Enterprise = Extended with security/ops
+- Mutually exclusive paths chosen upfront
+- Educational decision-making
+
+---
+
+## Migration from Old System
+
+If you have existing projects using the old level system:
+
+- **Level 0-1** → Quick Flow
+- **Level 2-3** → BMad Method
+- **Level 4** → Enterprise Method
+
+Run `workflow-init` on existing projects to migrate to new tracking system. It detects existing planning artifacts and creates appropriate workflow tracking.

+# Test Architect (TEA) Agent Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+- **Persona:** Murat, Master Test Architect and Quality Advisor focused on risk-based testing, fixture architecture, ATDD, and CI/CD governance.
+- **Mission:** Deliver actionable quality strategies, automation coverage, and gate decisions that scale with project complexity and compliance demands.
+- **Use When:** BMad Method or Enterprise track projects, integration risk is non-trivial, brownfield regression risk exists, or compliance/NFR evidence is required. (Quick Flow projects typically don't require TEA)

+- **Phase 3** (Track-dependent): Solutioning (`*architecture` → TEA: `*framework`, `*ci` → `*solutioning-gate-check`)
+- **Phase 4** (Required): Implementation (`*sprint-planning` → per-epic: `*test-design` → per-story: dev workflows)
+
+**TEA workflows:** `*framework` and `*ci` run once in Phase 3 after architecture. `*test-design` runs per-epic in Phase 4. Output: `test-design-epic-N.md`.
+
+Quick Flow track skips Phases 0, 1, and 3. BMad Method and Enterprise use all phases based on project needs.
+
+### Why TEA is Different from Other BMM Agents
+
+TEA is the only BMM agent that operates in **multiple phases** (Phase 3 and Phase 4) and has its own **knowledge base architecture**.
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Cross-Phase Operation & Unique Architecture</strong></summary>
+
+### Phase-Specific Agents (Standard Pattern)
+
+Most BMM agents work in a single phase:
+
+- **Phase 1 (Analysis)**: Analyst agent
+- **Phase 2 (Planning)**: PM agent
+- **Phase 3 (Solutioning)**: Architect agent
+- **Phase 4 (Implementation)**: SM, DEV agents
+
+### TEA: Multi-Phase Quality Agent (Unique Pattern)
+
+TEA is **the only agent that operates in multiple phases**:
+
+```
+Phase 1 (Analysis) → [TEA not typically used]
+    ↓
+Phase 2 (Planning) → [PM defines requirements - TEA not active]
+    ↓
+Phase 3 (Solutioning) → TEA: *framework, *ci (test infrastructure AFTER architecture)
+    ↓
+Phase 4 (Implementation) → TEA: *test-design (per epic: "how do I test THIS feature?")
+                        → TEA: *atdd, *automate, *test-review, *trace (per story)
+    ↓
+Epic/Release Gate → TEA: *nfr-assess, *trace Phase 2 (release decision)
+```
+
+### TEA's 8 Workflows Across Phases
+
+**Standard agents**: 1-3 workflows per phase
+**TEA**: 8 workflows across Phase 3, Phase 4, and Release Gate
+
+| Phase       | TEA Workflows                                         | Frequency        | Purpose                                        |
+| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| **Phase 2** | (none)                                                | -                | Planning phase - PM defines requirements       |
+| **Phase 3** | *framework, *ci                                       | Once per project | Setup test infrastructure AFTER architecture   |
+| **Phase 4** | *test-design, *atdd, *automate, *test-review, \*trace | Per epic/story   | Test planning per epic, then per-story testing |
+| **Release** | *nfr-assess, *trace (Phase 2: gate)                   | Per epic/release | Go/no-go decision                              |
+
+**Note**: `*trace` is a two-phase workflow: Phase 1 (traceability) + Phase 2 (gate decision). This reduces cognitive load while maintaining natural workflow.
+
+### Unique Directory Architecture
+
+TEA is the only BMM agent with its own top-level module directory (`bmm/testarch/`):
+
+```
+src/modules/bmm/
+├── agents/
+│   └── tea.agent.yaml          # Agent definition (standard location)
+├── workflows/
+│   └── testarch/               # TEA workflows (standard location)
+└── testarch/                   # Knowledge base (UNIQUE!)
+    ├── knowledge/              # 21 production-ready test pattern fragments
+    ├── tea-index.csv           # Centralized knowledge lookup (21 fragments indexed)
+    └── README.md               # This guide
+```
+
+### Why TEA Gets Special Treatment
+
+TEA uniquely requires:
+
+- **Extensive domain knowledge**: 21 fragments, 12,821 lines covering test patterns, CI/CD, fixtures, quality practices, healing strategies
+- **Centralized reference system**: `tea-index.csv` for on-demand fragment loading during workflow execution
+- **Cross-cutting concerns**: Domain-specific testing patterns (vs project-specific artifacts like PRDs/stories)
+- **Optional MCP integration**: Healing, exploratory, and verification modes for enhanced testing capabilities
+
+This architecture enables TEA to maintain consistent, production-ready testing patterns across all BMad projects while operating across multiple development phases.

+## High-Level Cheat Sheets
+
+These cheat sheets map TEA workflows to the **BMad Method and Enterprise tracks** across the **4-Phase Methodology** (Phase 1: Analysis, Phase 2: Planning, Phase 3: Solutioning, Phase 4: Implementation).
+
+**Note:** Quick Flow projects typically don't require TEA (covered in Overview). These cheat sheets focus on BMad Method and Enterprise tracks where TEA adds value.
+
+**Legend for Track Deltas:**
+
+- ➕ = New workflow or phase added (doesn't exist in baseline)
+- 🔄 = Modified focus (same workflow, different emphasis or purpose)
+- 📦 = Additional output or archival requirement

+- Run `*framework` only once per repo or when modern harness support is missing.
+- **Phase 3 (Solutioning)**: After architecture is complete, run `*framework` and `*ci` to setup test infrastructure based on architectural decisions.
+- **Phase 4 starts**: After solutioning is complete, sprint planning loads all epics.
+- **`*test-design` runs per-epic**: At the beginning of working on each epic, run `*test-design` to create a test plan for THAT specific epic/feature. Output: `test-design-epic-N.md`.
+- Use `*atdd` before coding when the team can adopt ATDD; share its checklist with the dev agent.
+- Post-implementation, keep `*trace` current, expand coverage with `*automate`, optionally review test quality with `*test-review`. For release gate, run `*trace` with Phase 2 enabled to get deployment decision.
+- Use `*test-review` after `*atdd` to validate generated tests, after `*automate` to ensure regression quality, or before gate for final audit.

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

+# Decision Architecture Workflow - Technical Reference
+
+**Module:** BMM (BMAD Method Module)
+**Type:** Solutioning Workflow
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+The Decision Architecture workflow is a complete reimagining of how architectural decisions are made in the BMAD Method. Instead of template-driven documentation, this workflow facilitates an intelligent conversation that produces a **decision-focused architecture document** optimized for preventing AI agent conflicts during implementation.
+
+---
+
+## Core Philosophy
+
+**The Problem**: When multiple AI agents implement different parts of a system, they make conflicting technical decisions leading to incompatible implementations.
+
+**The Solution**: A "consistency contract" that documents all critical technical decisions upfront, ensuring every agent follows the same patterns and uses the same technologies.
+
+---
+
+## Key Features
+
+### 1. Starter Template Intelligence ⭐ NEW
+
+- Discovers relevant starter templates (create-next-app, create-t3-app, etc.)
+- Considers UX requirements when selecting templates (animations, accessibility, etc.)
+- Searches for current CLI options and defaults
+- Documents decisions made BY the starter template
+- Makes remaining architectural decisions around the starter foundation
+- First implementation story becomes "initialize with starter command"
+
+### 2. Adaptive Facilitation
+
+- Adjusts conversation style based on user skill level (beginner/intermediate/expert)
+- Experts get rapid, technical discussions
+- Beginners receive education and protection from complexity
+- Everyone produces the same high-quality output
+
+### 3. Dynamic Version Verification
+
+- NEVER trusts hardcoded version numbers
+- Uses WebSearch to find current stable versions
+- Verifies versions during the conversation
+- Documents only verified, current versions
+
+### 4. Intelligent Discovery
+
+- No rigid project type templates
+- Analyzes PRD to identify which decisions matter for THIS project
+- Uses knowledge base of decisions and patterns
+- Scales to infinite project types
+
+### 5. Collaborative Decision Making
+
+- Facilitates discussion for each critical decision
+- Presents options with trade-offs
+- Integrates advanced elicitation for innovative approaches
+- Ensures decisions are coherent and compatible
+
+### 6. Consistent Output
+
+- Structured decision collection during conversation
+- Strict document generation from collected decisions
+- Validated against hard requirements
+- Optimized for AI agent consumption
+
+---
+
+## Workflow Structure
+
+```
+Step 0: Validate workflow and extract project configuration
+Step 0.5: Validate workflow sequencing
+Step 1: Load PRD and understand project context

+Step 4: Facilitate collaborative decision making (with version verification)
+Step 5: Address cross-cutting concerns
+Step 6: Define project structure and boundaries
+Step 7: Design novel architectural patterns (when needed) ⭐ NEW
+Step 8: Define implementation patterns to prevent agent conflicts
+Step 9: Validate architectural coherence
+Step 10: Generate decision architecture document (with initialization commands)
+Step 11: Validate document completeness
+Step 12: Final review and update workflow status

+
+## How It's Different from Old architecture
+
+| Aspect               | Old Workflow                                 | New Workflow                                    |
+| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
+| **Approach**         | Template-driven                              | Conversation-driven                             |
+| **Project Types**    | 11 rigid types with 22+ files                | Infinite flexibility with intelligent discovery |
+| **User Interaction** | Output sections with "Continue?"             | Collaborative decision facilitation             |
+| **Skill Adaptation** | One-size-fits-all                            | Adapts to beginner/intermediate/expert          |
+| **Decision Making**  | Late in process (Step 5)                     | Upfront and central focus                       |
+| **Output**           | Multiple documents including faux tech-specs | Single decision-focused architecture            |
+| **Time**             | Confusing and slow                           | 30-90 minutes depending on skill level          |
+| **Elicitation**      | Never used                                   | Integrated at decision points                   |
+
+---
+
+## Expected Inputs
+
+- **PRD** (Product Requirements Document) with:
+  - Functional Requirements
+  - Non-Functional Requirements
+  - Performance and compliance needs
+
+- **Epics** file with:
+  - User stories
+  - Acceptance criteria
+  - Dependencies
+
+- **UX Spec** (Optional but valuable) with:
+  - Interface designs and interaction patterns
+  - Accessibility requirements (WCAG levels)
+  - Animation and transition needs
+  - Platform-specific UI requirements
+  - Performance expectations for interactions
+
+---
+
+## Output Document
+
+A single `architecture.md` file containing:
+
+- Executive summary (2-3 sentences)
+- Project initialization command (if using starter template)
+- Decision summary table with verified versions and epic mapping
+- Complete project structure
+- Integration specifications
+- Consistency rules for AI agents
+
+---
+
+## How Novel Pattern Design Works
+
+Step 7 handles unique or complex patterns that need to be INVENTED:
+
+### 1. Detection
+
+The workflow analyzes the PRD for concepts that don't have standard solutions:
+
+- Novel interaction patterns (e.g., "swipe to match" when Tinder doesn't exist)
+- Complex multi-epic workflows (e.g., "viral invitation system")
+- Unique data relationships (e.g., "social graph" before Facebook)
+- New paradigms (e.g., "ephemeral messages" before Snapchat)
+
+### 2. Design Collaboration
+
+Instead of just picking technologies, the workflow helps DESIGN the solution:
+
+- Identifies the core problem to solve
+- Explores different approaches with the user
+- Documents how components interact
+- Creates sequence diagrams for complex flows
+- Uses elicitation to find innovative solutions
+
+### 3. Documentation
+
+Novel patterns become part of the architecture with:
+
+- Pattern name and purpose
+- Component interactions
+- Data flow diagrams
+- Which epics/stories are affected
+- Implementation guidance for agents
+
+### 4. Example
+
+```
+PRD: "Users can create 'circles' of friends with overlapping membership"
+↓
+Workflow detects: This is a novel social structure pattern
+↓
+Designs with user: Circle membership model, permission cascading, UI patterns
+↓
+Documents: "Circle Pattern" with component design and data flow
+↓
+All agents understand how to implement circle-related features consistently
+```
+
+---
+
+## How Implementation Patterns Work
+
+Step 8 prevents agent conflicts by defining patterns for consistency:
+
+### 1. The Core Principle
+
+> "Any time multiple agents might make the SAME decision DIFFERENTLY, that's a pattern to capture"
+
+The LLM asks: "What could an agent encounter where they'd have to guess?"
+
+### 2. Pattern Categories (principles, not prescriptions)
+
+- **Naming**: How things are named (APIs, database fields, files)
+- **Structure**: How things are organized (folders, modules, layers)
+- **Format**: How data is formatted (JSON structures, responses)
+- **Communication**: How components talk (events, messages, protocols)
+- **Lifecycle**: How states change (workflows, transitions)
+- **Location**: Where things go (URLs, paths, storage)
+- **Consistency**: Cross-cutting concerns (dates, errors, logs)
+
+### 3. LLM Intelligence
+
+- Uses the principle to identify patterns beyond the 7 categories
+- Figures out what specific patterns matter for chosen tech
+- Only asks about patterns that could cause conflicts
+- Skips obvious patterns that the tech choice determines
+
+### 4. Example
+
+```
+Tech chosen: REST API + PostgreSQL + React
+↓
+LLM identifies needs:
+- REST: URL structure, response format, status codes
+- PostgreSQL: table naming, column naming, FK patterns
+- React: component structure, state management, test location
+↓
+Facilitates each with user
+↓
+Documents as Implementation Patterns in architecture
+```
+
+---
+
+## How Starter Templates Work
+
+When the workflow detects a project type that has a starter template:
+
+1. **Discovery**: Searches for relevant starter templates based on PRD
+2. **Investigation**: Looks up current CLI options and defaults
+3. **Presentation**: Shows user what the starter provides
+4. **Integration**: Documents starter decisions as "PROVIDED BY STARTER"
+5. **Continuation**: Only asks about decisions NOT made by starter
+6. **Documentation**: Includes exact initialization command in architecture
+
+### Example Flow
+
+```
+PRD says: "Next.js web application with authentication"
+↓
+Workflow finds: create-next-app and create-t3-app
+↓
+User chooses: create-t3-app (includes auth setup)
+↓
+Starter provides: Next.js, TypeScript, tRPC, Prisma, NextAuth, Tailwind
+↓
+Workflow only asks about: Database choice, deployment target, additional services
+↓
+First story becomes: "npx create t3-app@latest my-app --trpc --nextauth --prisma"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# In your BMAD-enabled project
+workflow architecture
+```
+
+The AI agent will:
+
+1. Load your PRD and epics
+2. Identify critical decisions needed
+3. Facilitate discussion on each decision
+4. Generate a comprehensive architecture document
+5. Validate completeness
+
+---
+
+## Design Principles
+
+1. **Facilitation over Prescription** - Guide users to good decisions rather than imposing templates
+2. **Intelligence over Templates** - Use AI understanding rather than rigid structures
+3. **Decisions over Details** - Focus on what prevents agent conflicts, not implementation minutiae
+4. **Adaptation over Uniformity** - Meet users where they are while ensuring quality output
+5. **Collaboration over Output** - The conversation matters as much as the document
+
+---
+
+## For Developers
+
+This workflow assumes:
+
+- Single developer + AI agents (not teams)
+- Speed matters (decisions in minutes, not days)
+- AI agents need clear constraints to prevent conflicts
+- The architecture document is for agents, not humans
+
+---
+
+## Migration from architecture
+
+Projects using the old `architecture` workflow should:
+
+1. Complete any in-progress architecture work
+2. Use `architecture` for new projects
+3. The old workflow remains available but is deprecated
+
+---
+

+
+## How to Invoke
+
+```bash
+workflow document-project
+```
+
+Or from BMAD CLI:
+
+```bash
+/bmad:bmm:workflows:document-project
+```
+
+---
+
+## Scan Levels (NEW in v1.2.0)
+
+Choose the right scan depth for your needs:
+
+### 1. Quick Scan (Default)
+
+**Duration:** 2-5 minutes
+**What it does:** Pattern-based analysis without reading source files
+**Reads:** Config files, package manifests, directory structure, README
+**Use when:**
+
+- You need a fast project overview
+- Initial understanding of project structure
+- Planning next steps before deeper analysis
+
+**Does NOT read:** Source code files (_.js, _.ts, _.py, _.go, etc.)
+
+### 2. Deep Scan
+
+**Duration:** 10-30 minutes
+**What it does:** Reads files in critical directories based on project type
+**Reads:** Files in critical paths defined by documentation requirements
+**Use when:**
+
+- Creating comprehensive documentation for brownfield PRD
+- Need detailed analysis of key areas
+- Want balance between depth and speed
+
+**Example:** For a web app, reads controllers/, models/, components/, but not every utility file
+
+### 3. Exhaustive Scan
+
+**Duration:** 30-120 minutes
+**What it does:** Reads ALL source files in project
+**Reads:** Every source file (excludes node_modules, dist, build, .git)
+**Use when:**
+
+- Complete project analysis needed
+- Migration planning requires full understanding
+- Detailed audit of entire codebase
+- Deep technical debt assessment
+
+**Note:** Deep-dive mode ALWAYS uses exhaustive scan (no choice)
+
+---
+
+## Resumability (NEW in v1.2.0)
+
+The workflow can be interrupted and resumed without losing progress:
+
+- **State Tracking:** Progress saved in `project-scan-report.json`
+- **Auto-Detection:** Workflow detects incomplete runs (<24 hours old)
+- **Resume Prompt:** Choose to resume or start fresh
+- **Step-by-Step:** Resume from exact step where interrupted
+- **Archiving:** Old state files automatically archived
+
+**Example Resume Flow:**
+
+```
+> workflow document-project
+
+I found an in-progress workflow state from 2025-10-11 14:32:15.
+
+Current Progress:
+- Mode: initial_scan
+- Scan Level: deep
+- Completed Steps: 5/12
+- Last Step: step_5
+
+Would you like to:
+1. Resume from where we left off - Continue from step 6
+2. Start fresh - Archive old state and begin new scan
+3. Cancel - Exit without changes
+
+Your choice [1/2/3]:
+```
+
+---
+
+## What It Does
+
+### Step-by-Step Process
+
+1. **Detects Project Structure** - Identifies if project is single-part or multi-part (client/server/etc.)
+2. **Classifies Project Type** - Matches against 12 project types (web, backend, mobile, etc.)
+3. **Discovers Documentation** - Finds existing README, CONTRIBUTING, ARCHITECTURE files
+4. **Analyzes Tech Stack** - Parses package files, identifies frameworks, versions, dependencies
+5. **Conditional Scanning** - Performs targeted analysis based on project type requirements:
+   - API routes and endpoints
+   - Database models and schemas
+   - State management patterns
+   - UI component libraries
+   - Configuration and security
+   - CI/CD and deployment configs
+6. **Generates Source Tree** - Creates annotated directory structure with critical paths
+7. **Extracts Dev Instructions** - Documents setup, build, run, and test commands
+8. **Creates Architecture Docs** - Generates detailed architecture using matched templates
+9. **Builds Master Index** - Creates comprehensive index.md as primary AI retrieval source
+10. **Validates Output** - Runs 140+ point checklist to ensure completeness
+
+### Output Files
+
+**Single-Part Projects:**
+
+- `index.md` - Master index

+- `project-parts.json` - Machine-readable metadata
+- `project-scan-report.json` - State file for resumability (NEW v1.2.0)
+- Additional conditional files per part (API, data models, etc.)
+
+---
+
+## Data Files
+
+The workflow uses a single comprehensive CSV file:
+
+**documentation-requirements.csv** - Complete project analysis guide
+
+- Location: `/.bmad/bmm/workflows/document-project/documentation-requirements.csv`
+- 12 project types (web, mobile, backend, cli, library, desktop, game, data, extension, infra, embedded)
+- 24 columns combining:
+  - **Detection columns**: `project_type_id`, `key_file_patterns` (identifies project type from codebase)
+  - **Requirement columns**: `requires_api_scan`, `requires_data_models`, `requires_ui_components`, etc.
+  - **Pattern columns**: `critical_directories`, `test_file_patterns`, `config_patterns`, etc.
+- Self-contained: All project detection AND scanning requirements in one file
+- Architecture patterns inferred from tech stack (no external registry needed)
+
+---
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### Primary Use Case: Brownfield PRD Creation
+
+After running this workflow, use the generated `index.md` as input to brownfield PRD workflows:
+
+```
+User: "I want to add a new dashboard feature"
+PRD Workflow: Loads docs/index.md
+→ Understands existing architecture
+→ Identifies reusable components
+→ Plans integration with existing APIs
+→ Creates contextual PRD with epics and stories
+```
+
+### Other Use Cases
+
+- **Onboarding New Developers** - Comprehensive project documentation
+- **Architecture Review** - Structured analysis of existing system
+- **Technical Debt Assessment** - Identify patterns and anti-patterns
+- **Migration Planning** - Understand current state before refactoring
+
+---

+
+## Deep-Dive Mode
+
+### What is Deep-Dive Mode?
+
+When you run the workflow on a project that already has documentation, you'll be offered a choice:
+
+1. **Rescan entire project** - Update all documentation with latest changes
+2. **Deep-dive into specific area** - Generate EXHAUSTIVE documentation for a particular feature/module/folder
+3. **Cancel** - Keep existing documentation
+
+Deep-dive mode performs **comprehensive, file-by-file analysis** of a specific area, reading EVERY file completely and documenting:
+
+- All exports with complete signatures
+- All imports and dependencies
+- Dependency graphs and data flow
+- Code patterns and implementations
+- Testing coverage and strategies
+- Integration points
+- Reuse opportunities
+
+### When to Use Deep-Dive Mode
+
+- **Before implementing a feature** - Deep-dive the area you'll be modifying
+- **During architecture review** - Deep-dive complex modules
+- **For code understanding** - Deep-dive unfamiliar parts of codebase
+- **When creating PRDs** - Deep-dive areas affected by new features
+
+### Deep-Dive Process
+
+1. Workflow detects existing `index.md`
+2. Offers deep-dive option
+3. Suggests areas based on project structure:
+   - API route groups
+   - Feature modules
+   - UI component areas
+   - Services/business logic
+4. You select area or specify custom path
+5. Workflow reads EVERY file in that area
+6. Generates `deep-dive-{area-name}.md` with complete analysis
+7. Updates `index.md` with link to deep-dive doc
+8. Offers to deep-dive another area or finish
+
+### Deep-Dive Output Example
+
+**docs/deep-dive-dashboard-feature.md:**
+
+- Complete file inventory (47 files analyzed)
+- Every export with signatures
+- Dependency graph
+- Data flow analysis
+- Integration points
+- Testing coverage
+- Related code references
+- Implementation guidance
+- ~3,000 LOC documented in detail
+
+### Incremental Deep-Diving
+
+You can deep-dive multiple areas over time:
+
+- First run: Scan entire project → generates index.md
+- Second run: Deep-dive dashboard feature
+- Third run: Deep-dive API layer
+- Fourth run: Deep-dive authentication system
+
+All deep-dive docs are linked from the master index.
+
+---
+
+## Validation
+
+The workflow includes a comprehensive 160+ point checklist covering:
+
+- Project detection accuracy
+- Technology stack completeness
+- Codebase scanning thoroughness
+- Architecture documentation quality
+- Multi-part handling (if applicable)
+- Brownfield PRD readiness
+- Deep-dive completeness (if applicable)
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps After Completion
+
+1. **Review** `docs/index.md` - Your master documentation index
+2. **Validate** - Check generated docs for accuracy
+3. **Use for PRD** - Point brownfield PRD workflow to index.md
+4. **Maintain** - Re-run workflow when architecture changes significantly
+
+---
+
+## File Structure
+
+```
+document-project/
+├── workflow.yaml                    # Workflow configuration
+├── instructions.md                  # Step-by-step workflow logic
+├── checklist.md                     # Validation criteria
+├── documentation-requirements.csv   # Project type scanning patterns
+├── templates/                       # Output templates

+│   └── source-tree-template.md
+└── README.md                        # This file
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Issue: Project type not detected correctly**
+
+- Solution: Workflow will ask for confirmation; manually select correct type
+
+**Issue: Missing critical information**
+
+- Solution: Provide additional context when prompted; re-run specific analysis steps
+
+**Issue: Multi-part detection missed a part**
+
+- Solution: When asked to confirm parts, specify the missing part and its path
+
+**Issue: Architecture template doesn't match well**
+
+- Solution: Check registry.csv; may need to add new template or adjust matching criteria
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Improvements in v1.2.0
+
+### Context-Safe Design
+
+The workflow now uses a write-as-you-go architecture:
+
+- Documents written immediately to disk (not accumulated in memory)
+- Detailed findings purged after writing (only summaries kept)
+- State tracking enables resumption from any step
+- Batching strategy prevents context exhaustion on large projects
+
+### Batching Strategy
+
+For deep/exhaustive scans:
+
+- Process ONE subfolder at a time
+- Read files → Extract info → Write output → Validate → Purge context
+- Primary concern is file SIZE (not count)
+- Track batches in state file for resumability
+
+### State File Format
+
+Optimized JSON (no pretty-printing):
+
+```json
+{
+  "workflow_version": "1.2.0",
+  "timestamps": {...},
+  "mode": "initial_scan",
+  "scan_level": "deep",
+  "completed_steps": [...],
+  "current_step": "step_6",
+  "findings": {"summary": "only"},
+  "outputs_generated": [...],
+  "resume_instructions": "..."
+}
+```

+# BMM Analysis Workflows (Phase 1)
+
+**Reading Time:** ~7 minutes
+
+## Overview
+
+Phase 1 (Analysis) workflows are **optional** exploration and discovery tools that help validate ideas, understand markets, and generate strategic context before planning begins.
+
+**Key principle:** Analysis workflows help you think strategically before committing to implementation. Skip them if your requirements are already clear.
+
+**When to use:** Starting new projects, exploring opportunities, validating market fit, generating ideas, understanding problem spaces.
+
+**When to skip:** Continuing existing projects with clear requirements, well-defined features with known solutions, strict constraints where discovery is complete.

+## Decision Guide
+
+### Starting a Software Project
+
+```
+brainstorm-project (if unclear) → research (market/technical) → product-brief → Phase 2 (prd)
+```
+
+### Starting a Game Project
+
+```
+brainstorm-game (if generating concepts) → research (market/competitive) → game-brief → Phase 2 (gdd)
+```
+
+### Validating an Idea
+
+```
+research (market type) → product-brief or game-brief → Phase 2
+```
+
+### Technical Decision Only
+
+```
+research (technical type) → Use findings in Phase 3 (architecture)
+```
+
+### Understanding Market
+
+```
+research (market/competitive type) → product-brief → Phase 2
+```
+
+---
+
+## Integration with Phase 2 (Planning)
+
+Analysis outputs feed directly into Planning:
+
+| Analysis Output             | Planning Input             |
+| --------------------------- | -------------------------- |
+| product-brief.md            | **prd** workflow           |
+| game-brief.md               | **gdd** workflow           |
+| market-research.md          | **prd** context            |
+| technical-research.md       | **architecture** (Phase 3) |
+| competitive-intelligence.md | **prd** positioning        |
+
+Planning workflows automatically load these documents if they exist in the output folder.
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Don't Over-Invest in Analysis
+
+Analysis is optional. If requirements are clear, skip to Phase 2 (Planning).
+
+### 2. Iterate Between Workflows
+
+Common pattern: brainstorm → research (validate) → brief (synthesize)
+
+### 3. Document Assumptions
+
+Analysis surfaces and validates assumptions. Document them explicitly for planning to challenge.
+
+### 4. Keep It Strategic
+
+Focus on "what" and "why", not "how". Leave implementation for Planning and Solutioning.
+
+### 5. Involve Stakeholders
+
+Use analysis workflows to align stakeholders before committing to detailed planning.
+

+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Greenfield Software (Full Analysis)
+
+```
+1. brainstorm-project - explore approaches
+2. research (market) - validate viability
+3. product-brief - capture strategic vision
+4. → Phase 2: prd
+```
+
+### Greenfield Game (Full Analysis)
+
+```
+1. brainstorm-game - generate concepts
+2. research (competitive) - understand landscape
+3. game-brief - capture vision
+4. → Phase 2: gdd
+```
+
+### Skip Analysis (Clear Requirements)
+
+```
+→ Phase 2: prd or tech-spec directly
+```
+
+### Technical Research Only
+
+```
+1. research (technical) - evaluate technologies
+2. → Phase 3: architecture (use findings in ADRs)
+```

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Q: Do I need to run all analysis workflows?**
+A: No! Analysis is entirely optional. Use only workflows that help you think through your problem.
+
+**Q: Which workflow should I start with?**
+A: If unsure, start with `research` (market type) to validate viability, then move to `product-brief` or `game-brief`.
+
+**Q: Can I skip straight to Planning?**
+A: Yes! If you know what you're building and why, skip Phase 1 entirely and start with Phase 2 (prd/gdd/tech-spec).
+
+**Q: How long should Analysis take?**
+A: Typically hours to 1-2 days. If taking longer, you may be over-analyzing. Move to Planning.
+
+**Q: What if I discover problems during Analysis?**
+A: That's the point! Analysis helps you fail fast and pivot before heavy planning investment.
+
+**Q: Should brownfield projects do Analysis?**
+A: Usually no. Start with `document-project` (Phase 0), then skip to Planning (Phase 2).
