+# BMAD Workflow Improvements - Lessons from Batch Execution
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-08
+**Context:** Batch-super-dev tried to regenerate 14 skeleton stories but failed
+**Root Cause:** Agents cannot invoke workflows/skills in batch mode
+
+---
+
+## Issue Summary
+
+**What Happened:**
+1. Created 21 skeleton sub-story files (just headers + widget lists)
+2. Launched 14 agents via batch-super-dev to process them
+3. Agents correctly identified stories were incomplete (no tasks section)
+4. Agents correctly halted per super-dev-pipeline Step 1.4.5
+5. BUT: Batch-super-dev Step 2.5 says to "Invoke workflow: /bmad..." which agents can't do
+6. Result: 13/14 agents halted correctly, 1 somehow succeeded
+
+**The Problem:**
+- Workflows correctly validate and halt
+- BUT batch-super-dev suggests agents can regenerate stories
+- Agents CANNOT execute `/` commands or invoke workflows autonomously
+- This creates false expectations
+
+---
+
+## Proposed Fixes
+
+### Fix 1: Update batch-super-dev Step 2.5 (Story Validation)
+
+**Current Code (lines 82-99):**
+```xml
+Create story file with gap analysis? (yes/no):
+
+
+
+ Invoke workflow: /bmad:bmm:workflows:create-story-with-gap-analysis
+ Parameters: story_key={{story_key}}
+```
+
+**Problem:**
+- "Invoke workflow: /bmad..." doesn't work for agents
+- Agents can't run slash commands
+- This will always fail in batch mode
+
+**Recommended Fix:**
+```xml
+Create story file with gap analysis? (yes/no):
+
+
+
+
+ Mark story for removal from selection
+ Add to skipped_stories with reason: "Story creation requires manual workflow"
+
+
+
+
+
+ HALT - Cannot auto-invoke create-story workflow
+
+
+```
+
+**Why This Works:**
+- ✅ Explicitly states agents can't create stories in batch
+- ✅ Tells user exactly what to do
+- ✅ Prevents false expectations
+- ✅ Provides clear halt message
+
+---
+
+### Fix 2: Add Agent Limitations Section to batch-super-dev
+
+**Add new section after line 5:**
+
+```xml
+
+
+
+
+ Agents Cannot Invoke Workflows
+
+ Task agents running in batch mode cannot execute slash commands (/)
+ or invoke other BMAD workflows. If a story requires creation or
+ regeneration, the batch must halt and user must handle manually.
+
+
+ Stories without proper BMAD format (12 sections, tasks) will be skipped
+ in batch execution. User must run /create-story-with-gap-analysis first.
+
+
+
+
+ Agents Cannot Prompt User Interactively
+
+ Batch agents run autonomously. They cannot ask user questions mid-execution.
+ All decisions must be pre-configured or stories will be skipped.
+
+
+ Optional steps are auto-skipped. Ambiguous requirements cause halt.
+
+
+
+
+ Skeleton Stories Will Be Skipped
+
+ If a story file has <12 BMAD sections or 0 tasks, super-dev-pipeline
+ will correctly halt with "Nothing to implement" message. This is NOT
+ a bug - it's correct behavior. User must regenerate story first.
+
+
+ Batch execution requires ALL stories to be properly formatted BEFORE
+ running batch-super-dev. Do not attempt batch regeneration.
+
+
+
+
+
+ ...
+```
+
+**Why This Helps:**
+- ✅ Sets clear expectations upfront
+- ✅ Explains why stories get skipped
+- ✅ Prevents users from making same mistake I did
+- ✅ Documents known limitations explicitly
+
+---
+
+### Fix 3: Enhance super-dev-pipeline Step 1.4.5 (Pre-Flight Bailout)
+
+**Current Code (lines 94-105):**
+```
+If total_task_count == 0:
+ Display:
+ ⚠️ EARLY BAILOUT: No Tasks Found
+
+ Story file exists but has no tasks in Tasks/Subtasks section.
+ - Story may be incomplete or malformed
+ - Run create-story or validate-create-story first
+
+ HALT - Nothing to implement
+```
+
+**Recommended Enhancement:**
+```
+If total_task_count == 0:
+ Display:
+ ⚠️ EARLY BAILOUT: No Tasks Found
+
+ Story file exists but has no tasks in Tasks/Subtasks section.
+
+ **Common Causes:**
+ 1. Story file is a skeleton/template (not generated by /create-story)
+ 2. Story file is missing BMAD sections
+ 3. Story file was manually created without proper format
+
+ **This is NOT a pipeline bug** - this is correct validation behavior.
+
+ **Required Action:**
+ {if batch mode}
+ - Story will be SKIPPED from batch execution
+ - User must regenerate: /create-story-with-gap-analysis
+ - Then re-run batch for this story
+ {else}
+ - Run: /create-story-with-gap-analysis
+ - Specify story key: {story_key}
+ - Then re-run super-dev-pipeline
+ {endif}
+
+ **IMPORTANT FOR AGENTS:**
+ Do NOT attempt to regenerate the story yourself. Agents cannot invoke
+ the /create-story-with-gap-analysis workflow. Document this issue and
+ halt gracefully.
+
+ HALT - Nothing to implement
+```
+
+**Why This Helps:**
+- ✅ Explains this is CORRECT behavior, not a bug
+- ✅ Explicitly tells agents NOT to try regenerating
+- ✅ Provides clear user action steps
+- ✅ Different guidance for batch vs interactive mode
+- ✅ Sets correct expectations
+

+
+### Fix 4: Add Pre-Batch Validation Recommendations
+
+**Add new document:** `_bmad/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/batch-super-dev/BATCH-BEST-PRACTICES.md`
+
+```markdown
+# Batch Super-Dev Best Practices
+
+## Pre-Batch Checklist
+
+**BEFORE running /batch-super-dev, verify:**
+
+### ✅ All Story Files Exist
+```bash
+# Check all ready-for-dev stories have files
+for story in $(grep "ready-for-dev" docs/sprint-artifacts/sprint-status.yaml | cut -d: -f1); do
+ if [ ! -f "docs/sprint-artifacts/story-$story.md" ]; then
+ echo "❌ Missing: $story"
+ fi
+done
+```
+
+### ✅ All Stories Have Proper BMAD Format
+
+Run validation script:
+```bash
+./scripts/validate-bmad-format.sh docs/sprint-artifacts/story-*.md
+```
+
+**Required:** All stories must show "✅ All 12 sections present"
+
+### ✅ All Stories Have Tasks
+
+```bash
+# Check all stories have at least 1 task
+for file in docs/sprint-artifacts/story-*.md; do
+ task_count=$(grep -c "^- \[ \]" "$file" 2>/dev/null || echo "0")
+ if [ "$task_count" -eq 0 ]; then
+ echo "❌ No tasks: $(basename $file)"
+ fi
+done
+```
+
+**Required:** All stories must have unchecked tasks (something to implement)
+
+---
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+### ❌ Mistake 1: Batch Regeneration
+
+**Don't:**
+```bash
+# Create 20 skeleton story files
+# Run batch-super-dev expecting agents to regenerate them
+```
+
+**Why:** Agents cannot invoke /create-story-with-gap-analysis workflow
+
+**Do Instead:**
+```bash
+# Regenerate stories one at a time
+for story in story-20-13a-{1..5}; do
+ /create-story-with-gap-analysis # Interactive, per story
+done
+
+# THEN run batch-super-dev
+/batch-super-dev
+```
+
+### ❌ Mistake 2: Mixed Story Quality
+
+**Don't:**
+- Mix properly generated stories with skeleton templates
+- Assume agents will "fix" incomplete stories
+- Launch batch without validating story format
+
+**Do:**
+- Validate ALL stories before batch
+- Regenerate any incomplete ones
+- Ensure consistent quality
+
+### ❌ Mistake 3: Assuming Agents Can Run / Commands
+
+**Don't:**
+- Tell agents to "Run /create-story"
+- Expect agents to invoke other workflows
+- Assume agents can execute user CLI commands
+
+**Do:**
+- Pre-generate all stories before batch
+- Use batch ONLY for implementation, not planning
+- Keep story creation separate from story execution
+
+---
+
+## Success Patterns
+
+### ✅ Pattern 1: Manual Create → Batch Execute
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: Create all stories manually (1-2 days)
+/create-story-with-gap-analysis # For each of 20 stories
+
+# Step 2: Validate all stories
+./scripts/validate-all-stories.sh
+
+# Step 3: Batch execute (parallel, fast)
+/batch-super-dev # Select all 20 stories, run 4 agents
+```
+
+### ✅ Pattern 2: Incremental Batch Execution
+
+```bash
+# Execute stories in small batches as you create them
+/create-story-with-gap-analysis # Create 5 stories
+
+/batch-super-dev # Execute those 5 (filter by epic)
+
+/create-story-with-gap-analysis # Create 5 more
+
+/batch-super-dev # Execute those 5
+```
+
+### ✅ Pattern 3: Validation Before Batch
+
+```bash
+# Add to your workflow
+validate_stories() {
+ for story in $@; do
+ if ! ./scripts/validate-bmad-format.sh "$story"; then
+ echo "❌ Story $story is not ready for batch"
+ echo "Run: /create-story-with-gap-analysis"
+ exit 1
+ fi
+ done
+ echo "✅ All stories validated, ready for batch"
+}
+
+validate_stories docs/sprint-artifacts/story-20-13*.md
+/batch-super-dev
+```
+
+---
+
+## When to Use Batch vs Individual
+
+### Use Batch When:
+- ✅ All stories properly formatted (12 sections, tasks present)
+- ✅ Stories are independent (no complex dependencies)
+- ✅ You want parallel execution (2-4 stories at once)
+- ✅ Stories are similar complexity (all ~1 day effort)
+
+### Use Individual (/dev-story) When:
+- ✅ Story needs interactive decisions
+- ✅ Story is complex (>3 days effort)
+- ✅ Story has complex dependencies
+- ✅ You want close monitoring/control
+
+### DON'T Use Batch When:
+- ❌ Stories are skeleton templates (not generated)
+- ❌ Stories missing BMAD sections
+- ❌ Mixed quality (some good, some incomplete)
+- ❌ Need to create/regenerate stories
+```
+
+---
+
+## Key Takeaway
+
+**Batch-super-dev is for EXECUTION, not CREATION.**
+
+Story creation is an interactive, context-heavy process that requires:
+- User input on requirements
+- Codebase scanning
+- Gap analysis decisions
+- Template generation
+
+This cannot be reliably automated in batch mode. Always create stories first,
+then batch execute them.

+# Agent Limitations in Batch Mode
+
+**CRITICAL:** Agents running in batch-super-dev have specific limitations. Understanding these prevents wasted time and sets correct expectations.
+
+---
+
+## Core Limitations
+
+### ❌ Agents CANNOT Invoke Other Workflows
+
+**What this means:**
+- Agents cannot run `/create-story-with-gap-analysis`
+- Agents cannot execute `/` slash commands (those are for user CLI)
+- Agents cannot call other BMAD workflows mid-execution
+
+**Why:**
+- Slash commands require user terminal context
+- Workflow invocation requires special tool access
+- Batch agents are isolated execution contexts
+
+**Implication:**
+- Story creation MUST happen before batch execution
+- If stories are incomplete, batch will skip them
+- No way to "fix" stories during batch
+
+---
+
+### ❌ Agents CANNOT Prompt User Interactively
+
+**What this means:**
+- Batch runs autonomously, no user interaction
+- `` tags are auto-answered with defaults
+- No way to clarify ambiguous requirements mid-batch
+
+**Why:**
+- Batch is designed for unattended execution
+- User may not be present during execution
+- Prompts would break parallel execution
+
+**Implication:**
+- All requirements must be clear in story file
+- Optional steps are skipped
+- Ambiguous stories will halt or skip
+
+---
+
+### ❌ Agents CANNOT Generate Missing BMAD Sections
+
+**What this means:**
+- If story has <12 sections, agent halts
+- If story has 0 tasks, agent halts
+- Agent will NOT try to "fix" the story format
+
+**Why:**
+- Story format is structural, not implementation
+- Generating sections requires context agent doesn't have
+- Gap analysis requires codebase scanning beyond agent scope
+
+**Implication:**
+- All stories must be properly formatted BEFORE batch
+- Run validation: `./scripts/validate-bmad-format.sh`
+- Regenerate incomplete stories manually
+
+---
+
+## What Agents CAN Do
+
+### ✅ Execute Clear, Well-Defined Tasks
+
+**Works well:**
+- Stories with 10-30 specific tasks
+- Clear acceptance criteria
+- Existing code to modify
+- Well-defined scope
+
+### ✅ Make Implementation Decisions
+
+**Works well:**
+- Choose between valid approaches
+- Apply patterns from codebase
+- Fix bugs based on error messages
+- Optimize existing code
+
+### ✅ Run Tests and Verify
+
+**Works well:**
+- Execute test suites
+- Measure coverage
+- Fix failing tests
+- Validate implementations
+
+---
+
+## Pre-Batch Validation Checklist
+
+**Before running /batch-super-dev, verify ALL selected stories:**
+
+```bash
+# 1. Check story files exist
+for story in $(grep "ready-for-dev" docs/sprint-artifacts/sprint-status.yaml | awk '{print $1}' | sed 's/://'); do
+ [ -f "docs/sprint-artifacts/story-$story.md" ] || echo "❌ Missing: $story"
+done
+
+# 2. Check all have 12 BMAD sections
+for file in docs/sprint-artifacts/story-*.md; do
+ sections=$(grep -c "^## " "$file")
+ if [ "$sections" -lt 12 ]; then
+ echo "❌ Incomplete: $file ($sections/12 sections)"
+ fi
+done
+
+# 3. Check all have tasks
+for file in docs/sprint-artifacts/story-*.md; do
+ tasks=$(grep -c "^- \[ \]" "$file")
+ if [ "$tasks" -eq 0 ]; then
+ echo "❌ No tasks: $file"
+ fi
+done
+```
+
+**If any checks fail:**
+1. Regenerate those stories: `/create-story-with-gap-analysis`
+2. Validate again
+3. THEN run batch-super-dev
+
+---
+
+## Error Messages Explained
+
+### "EARLY BAILOUT: No Tasks Found"
+
+**What it means:** Story file has 0 unchecked tasks
+**Is this a bug?** ❌ NO - This is correct validation
+**What to do:**
+- If story is skeleton: Regenerate with /create-story-with-gap-analysis
+- If story is complete: Mark as "done" in sprint-status.yaml
+- If story needs work: Add tasks to story file
+
+### "EARLY BAILOUT: Invalid Story Format"
+
+**What it means:** Story missing required sections (Tasks, AC, etc.)
+**Is this a bug?** ❌ NO - This is correct validation
+**What to do:**
+- Regenerate with /create-story-with-gap-analysis
+- Do NOT try to manually add sections (skip gap analysis)
+- Do NOT launch batch with incomplete stories
+
+### "Story Creation Failed" or "Skipped"
+
+**What it means:** Agent tried to create story but couldn't
+**Is this a bug?** ❌ NO - Agents can't create stories
+**What to do:**
+- Exit batch-super-dev
+- Manually run /create-story-with-gap-analysis
+- Re-run batch after story created
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### ✅ DO: Generate All Stories Before Batch
+
+**Workflow:**
+```
+1. Plan epic → Identify stories → Create list
+2. Generate stories: /create-story-with-gap-analysis (1-2 days)
+3. Validate stories: ./scripts/validate-all-stories.sh
+4. Execute stories: /batch-super-dev (parallel, fast)
+```
+
+### ✅ DO: Use Small Batches for Mixed Complexity
+
+**Workflow:**
+```
+1. Group by complexity (micro, standard, complex)
+2. Batch micro stories (quick wins)
+3. Batch standard stories
+4. Execute complex stories individually
+```
+
+### ❌ DON'T: Try to Batch Regenerate
+
+**Why it fails:**
+```
+1. Create 20 skeleton files with just widget lists
+2. Run /batch-super-dev
+3. Expect agents to regenerate them
+ → FAILS: Agents can't invoke /create-story workflow
+```
+
+### ❌ DON'T: Mix Skeletons with Proper Stories
+
+**Why it fails:**
+```
+1. 10 proper BMAD stories + 10 skeletons
+2. Run /batch-super-dev
+3. Expect batch to handle both
+ → RESULT: 10 execute, 10 skipped (confusing)
+```
+
+### ❌ DON'T: Assume Agents Will "Figure It Out"
+
+**Why it fails:**
+```
+1. Launch batch with unclear stories
+2. Hope agents will regenerate/fix/create
+ → RESULT: Agents halt correctly, nothing happens
+```
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+**The Golden Rule:**
+> **Batch-super-dev is for EXECUTION, not CREATION.**
+>
+> Story creation is interactive and requires user input.
+> Always create/regenerate stories BEFORE batch execution.
+
+**Remember:**
+- Agents have limitations (documented above)
+- These are features, not bugs
+- Workflows correctly validate and halt
+- User must prepare stories properly first
+
+**Success Formula:**
+```
+Proper Story Generation (1-2 days manual work)
+ ↓
+Validation (5 minutes automated)
+ ↓
+Batch Execution (4-8 hours parallel autonomous)
+ ↓
+Review & Merge (1-2 hours)
+```
+
+Don't skip the preparation steps!

+# Batch-Super-Dev Step 2.5 Patch
+
+**Issue:** Step 2.5 tries to invoke `/create-story-with-gap-analysis` which agents cannot do
+**Impact:** Skeleton stories get skipped instead of regenerated
+**Fix:** Explicitly halt batch and tell user to regenerate manually
+
+---
+
+## Current Code (BROKEN)
+
+**File:** `instructions.md` lines 82-99
+
+```xml
+Create story file with gap analysis? (yes/no):
+
+
+
+ Invoke workflow: /bmad:bmm:workflows:create-story-with-gap-analysis
+ Parameters: story_key={{story_key}}
+
+
+
+ Update file_status_icon to ✅
+ Mark story as validated
+
+
+
+
+ Mark story for removal from selection
+ Add to skipped_stories list with reason: "Creation failed"
+
+
+```
+
+**Problem:**
+- Line 86: "Invoke workflow: /" doesn't work for agents
+- Agents can't execute slash commands
+- This always fails in batch mode
+
+---
+
+## Recommended Fix (WORKING)
+
+**Replace lines 82-99 with:**
+
+```xml
+Create story file with gap analysis? (yes/no):
+
+
+
+
+ Mark story for removal from selection
+ Add to skipped_stories list with reason: "Story creation requires manual workflow (agents cannot invoke /create-story)"
+ Add to manual_actions_required list: "Regenerate {{story_key}} with /create-story-with-gap-analysis"
+
+
+
+
+ Mark story for removal from selection
+ Add to skipped_stories list with reason: "User declined story creation"
+
+```
+
+**Why This Works:**
+- ✅ Explicitly states agents can't create stories
+- ✅ Provides clear step-by-step user actions
+- ✅ Skips gracefully instead of failing silently
+- ✅ Tracks manual actions needed
+- ✅ Sets correct expectations
+
+---
+
+## Additional Improvements
+
+### Add Manual Actions Tracking
+
+**At end of batch execution (Step 5), add:**
+
+```xml
+
+
+
+```
+
+**Why This Helps:**
+- User gets clear todo list
+- Knows exactly what to do next
+- Can track progress on manual actions
+
+---
+
+## Validation Script Enhancement
+
+**Create:** `scripts/validate-all-stories.sh`
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Validate all ready-for-dev stories have proper BMAD format
+
+set -e
+
+STORIES=$(grep "ready-for-dev" docs/sprint-artifacts/sprint-status.yaml | awk '{print $1}' | sed 's/://')
+
+echo "=========================================="
+echo " BMAD Story Format Validation"
+echo "=========================================="
+echo ""
+
+TOTAL=0
+VALID=0
+INVALID=0
+
+for story in $STORIES; do
+ STORY_FILE="docs/sprint-artifacts/story-$story.md"
+
+ if [ ! -f "$STORY_FILE" ]; then
+ echo "❌ $story - FILE MISSING"
+ INVALID=$((INVALID + 1))
+ TOTAL=$((TOTAL + 1))
+ continue
+ fi
+
+ # Check BMAD format
+ ./scripts/validate-bmad-format.sh "$STORY_FILE" >/dev/null 2>&1
+
+ if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
+ echo "✅ $story - Valid BMAD format"
+ VALID=$((VALID + 1))
+ else
+ echo "❌ $story - Invalid format (run validation for details)"
+ INVALID=$((INVALID + 1))
+ fi
+
+ TOTAL=$((TOTAL + 1))
+done
+
+echo ""
+echo "=========================================="
+echo " Summary"
+echo "=========================================="
+echo "Total Stories: $TOTAL"
+echo "Valid: $VALID"
+echo "Invalid: $INVALID"
+echo ""
+
+if [ $INVALID -eq 0 ]; then
+ echo "✅ All stories ready for batch execution!"
+ exit 0
+else
+ echo "❌ $INVALID stories need regeneration"
+ echo ""
+ echo "Run: /create-story-with-gap-analysis"
+ echo "For each invalid story"
+ exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+**Why This Helps:**
+- Quick validation before batch
+- Prevents wasted time on incomplete stories
+- Clear pass/fail criteria
+
+---
+
+## Documentation Update
+
+**Add to:** `_bmad/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/batch-super-dev/README.md`
+
+```markdown
+# Batch Super-Dev Workflow
+
+## Critical Prerequisites
+
+**BEFORE running batch-super-dev:**
+
+1. ✅ **All stories must be properly generated**
+ - Run: `/create-story-with-gap-analysis` for each story
+ - Do NOT create skeleton/template files manually
+ - Validation: `./scripts/validate-all-stories.sh`
+
+2. ✅ **All stories must have 12 BMAD sections**
+ - Business Context, Current State, Acceptance Criteria
+ - Tasks/Subtasks, Technical Requirements, Architecture Compliance
+ - Testing Requirements, Dev Agent Guardrails, Definition of Done
+ - References, Dev Agent Record, Change Log
+
+3. ✅ **All stories must have tasks**
+ - At least 1 unchecked task (something to implement)
+ - Zero-task stories will be skipped
+ - Validation: `grep -c "^- \[ \]" story-file.md`
+
+## Common Failure Modes
+
+### ❌ Attempting Batch Regeneration
+
+**What you might try:**
+```
+1. Create 20 skeleton story files (just headers + widget lists)
+2. Run /batch-super-dev
+3. Expect agents to regenerate them
+```
+
+**What happens:**
+- Agents identify stories are incomplete
+- Agents correctly halt per super-dev-pipeline validation
+- Stories get skipped (not regenerated)
+- You waste time
+
+**Why:**
+- Agents CANNOT execute /create-story-with-gap-analysis
+- Agents CANNOT invoke other BMAD workflows
+- Story generation requires user interaction
+
+**Solution:**
+- Generate ALL stories manually FIRST: /create-story-with-gap-analysis
+- Validate: ./scripts/validate-all-stories.sh
+- THEN run batch: /batch-super-dev
+
+### ❌ Mixed Story Quality
+
+**What you might try:**
+- Mix 10 proper stories + 10 skeletons
+- Run batch hoping it "figures it out"
+
+**What happens:**
+- 10 proper stories execute successfully
+- 10 skeletons get skipped
+- Confusing results
+
+**Solution:**
+- Ensure ALL stories have same quality
+- Validate before batch
+- Don't mix skeletons with proper stories
+
+## Success Pattern
+
+```bash
+# 1. Generate all stories (1-2 days, manual)
+for story in story-20-13a-{1..5}; do
+ /create-story-with-gap-analysis
+ # Provide story details interactively
+done
+
+# 2. Validate (30 seconds, automated)
+./scripts/validate-all-stories.sh
+
+# 3. Execute (4-8 hours, parallel autonomous)
+/batch-super-dev
+# Select all 5 stories
+# Choose 2-4 agents parallel
+
+# 4. Review (1-2 hours)
+# Review commits, merge to main
+```
+
+**Total Time:**
+- Manual work: 1-2 days (story generation)
+- Autonomous work: 4-8 hours (batch execution)
+- Review: 1-2 hours
+
+**Efficiency:**
+- Story generation: Cannot be batched (requires user input)
+- Story execution: Highly parallelizable (4x speedup with 4 agents)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Checklist
+
+**To apply these improvements:**
+
+- [ ] Update `batch-super-dev/instructions.md` Step 2.5 (lines 82-99)
+- [ ] Add `batch-super-dev/AGENT-LIMITATIONS.md` (new file)
+- [ ] Add `batch-super-dev/BATCH-BEST-PRACTICES.md` (new file)
+- [ ] Update `batch-super-dev/README.md` with prerequisites
+- [ ] Create `scripts/validate-all-stories.sh` (new script)
+- [ ] Add manual actions tracking to Step 5 summary
+- [ ] Update super-dev-pipeline Step 1.4.5 with agent guidance
+
+**Testing:**
+- Try batch with mixed story quality → Should skip skeletons gracefully
+- Verify error messages are clear
+- Confirm agents halt correctly (not crash)
+
+---
+
+**Expected Result:**
+- Users understand limitations upfront
+- Clear guidance when stories are incomplete
