+ Cynically review content and produce numbered findings with severity and classification

+ You are a cynical, jaded reviewer with zero patience for sloppy work
+ The content was submitted by a clueless weasel and you expect to find problems
+ Find at least five issues to fix or improve - be skeptical of everything
+ Zero findings is suspicious - if you find nothing, halt and question your analysis
+
+
+
+
+ Load the content to review from provided input or context
+ Identify content type (diff, spec, story, doc, etc.) to calibrate review approach
+
+
+
+ Review with extreme skepticism - assume problems exist
+
+
+ Correctness - Is it actually right? Look for logic errors, bugs, gaps
+ Completeness - What's missing? Edge cases, error handling, validation
+ Consistency - Does it match patterns, conventions, existing code?
+ Clarity - Is it understandable? Naming, structure, documentation
+ Quality - Is it good enough? Performance, security, maintainability
+
+
+ Find at least 5 issues - dig deep, don't accept surface-level "looks good"
+
+
+
+ For each finding, assign:
+
+ F1, F2, F3... (sequential)
+
+
+ Must fix - blocks ship, causes failures
+ Should fix - significant issue, notable risk
+ Consider fixing - minor issue, small improvement
+ Nitpick - optional, stylistic, nice-to-have
+
+
+
+ Confirmed issue - should address
+ False positive - no action needed
+ Needs discussion - could go either way

+
+ HALT if zero findings - this is suspicious, re-analyze or ask for guidance
+ HALT if content is empty or unreadable
+
+
+
+ NEVER accept "looks good" without deep analysis

-# Quick-Dev - Flexible Development Workflow
-
-
-
-Communicate in {communication_language}, tailored to {user_skill_level}
-Execute continuously until COMPLETE - do not stop for milestones
-Flexible - handles tech-specs OR direct instructions
-ALWAYS respect {project_context} if it exists - it defines project standards
-
-
- Load and execute {advanced_elicitation}, then return
- Load and execute {party_mode_workflow}, then return
- Load and execute {create_tech_spec_workflow}
-
-
-
-
-Check if {project_context} exists. If yes, load it - this is your foundational reference for ALL implementation decisions (patterns, conventions, architecture).
-
-Parse user input:
-
-**Mode A: Tech-Spec** - e.g., `quick-dev tech-spec-auth.md`
-→ Load spec, extract tasks/context/AC, goto step 3
-
-**Mode B: Direct Instructions** - e.g., `refactor src/foo.ts...`
-→ Offer planning choice
-
-
-
- Load tech-spec, extract tasks/context/AC
- step_3
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Evaluate escalation threshold against user input (minimal tokens, no file loading):
-
-**Triggers escalation** (if 2+ signals present):
-
-- Multiple components mentioned (e.g., dashboard + api + database)
-- System-level language (e.g., platform, integration, architecture)
-- Uncertainty about approach (e.g., "how should I", "best way to")
-- Multi-layer scope (e.g., UI + backend + data together)
-- Extended timeframe (e.g., "this week", "over the next few days")
-
-**Reduces signal:**
-
-- Simplicity markers (e.g., "just", "quickly", "fix", "bug", "typo", "simple", "basic", "minor")
-- Single file/component focus
-- Confident, specific request

+# Step 1: Mode Detection
+
+**Goal:** Determine execution mode, capture baseline, handle escalation if needed.
+
+---
+
+## STATE VARIABLES (capture now, persist throughout)
+
+These variables MUST be set in this step and available to all subsequent steps:
+
+- `{baseline_commit}` - Git HEAD at workflow start
+- `{execution_mode}` - "tech-spec" or "direct"
+- `{tech_spec_path}` - Path to tech-spec file (if Mode A)
+
+---
+
+## EXECUTION SEQUENCE
+
+### 1. Capture Baseline
+
+Run `git rev-parse HEAD` and store result as `{baseline_commit}`.
+
+### 2. Load Project Context
+
+Check if `{project_context}` exists (`**/project-context.md`). If found, load it - this is foundational reference for ALL implementation decisions.
+
+### 3. Parse User Input
+
+Analyze the user's input to determine mode:
+
+**Mode A: Tech-Spec**
+
+- User provided a path to a tech-spec file (e.g., `quick-dev tech-spec-auth.md`)
+- Load the spec, extract tasks/context/AC
+- Set `{execution_mode}` = "tech-spec"
+- Set `{tech_spec_path}` = provided path
+- **NEXT:** Load `step-03-execute.md`
+
+**Mode B: Direct Instructions**
+
+- User provided task description directly (e.g., `refactor src/foo.ts...`)
+- Set `{execution_mode}` = "direct"
+- **NEXT:** Evaluate escalation threshold, then proceed
+
+---
+
+## ESCALATION THRESHOLD (Mode B only)
+
+Evaluate user input with minimal token usage (no file loading):
+
+**Triggers escalation (if 2+ signals present):**
+
+- Multiple components mentioned (dashboard + api + database)
+- System-level language (platform, integration, architecture)
+- Uncertainty about approach ("how should I", "best way to")
+- Multi-layer scope (UI + backend + data together)
+- Extended timeframe ("this week", "over the next few days")

+## ESCALATION HANDLING
+
+### No Escalation (simple request)
+
+Present choice:
+
+```
+**[t] Plan first** - Create tech-spec then implement
+**[e] Execute directly** - Start now
+```
+
+- **[t]:** Direct user to `{create_tech_spec_workflow}`. **EXIT Quick Dev.**
+- **[e]:** Ask for any additional guidance, then **NEXT:** Load `step-02-context-gathering.md`
+
+### Escalation Triggered - Level 0-2
+
+```
+This looks like a focused feature with multiple components.
+
+**[t] Create tech-spec first** (recommended)
+**[w] Seems bigger than quick-dev** - see what BMad Method recommends
+**[e] Execute directly**
+```
+
+- **[t]:** Direct to `{create_tech_spec_workflow}`. **EXIT Quick Dev.**
+- **[w]:** Direct to `{workflow_init}`. **EXIT Quick Dev.**
+- **[e]:** Ask for guidance, then **NEXT:** Load `step-02-context-gathering.md`
+
+### Escalation Triggered - Level 3+
+
+```
+This sounds like platform/system work.
+
+**[w] Start BMad Method** (recommended)
+**[t] Create tech-spec** (lighter planning)
+**[e] Execute directly** - feeling lucky
+```
+
+- **[w]:** Direct to `{workflow_init}`. **EXIT Quick Dev.**
+- **[t]:** Direct to `{create_tech_spec_workflow}`. **EXIT Quick Dev.**
+- **[e]:** Ask for guidance, then **NEXT:** Load `step-02-context-gathering.md`
+
+---
+
+## NEXT STEP DIRECTIVE
+
+**CRITICAL:** When this step completes, explicitly state which step to load:
+
+- Mode A (tech-spec): "**NEXT:** Loading `step-03-execute.md`"
+- Mode B (direct, [e] selected): "**NEXT:** Loading `step-02-context-gathering.md`"
+- Escalation ([t] or [w]): "**EXITING Quick Dev.** Follow the directed workflow."
+
+---
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS
+
+- `{baseline_commit}` captured and stored
+- `{execution_mode}` determined ("tech-spec" or "direct")
+- `{tech_spec_path}` set if Mode A
+- Project context loaded if exists
+- Escalation evaluated appropriately (Mode B)
+- Explicit NEXT directive provided
+
+## FAILURE MODES

+- Proceeding without capturing baseline commit
+- Not setting execution_mode variable
+- Loading step-02 when Mode A (tech-spec provided)

+### 2. Tests Passing
+
+Verify test status:
+
+- [ ] All existing tests still pass
+- [ ] New tests written for new functionality
+- [ ] No test warnings or skipped tests without reason
+
+### 3. Acceptance Criteria Satisfied
+
+For each AC:
+
+- [ ] AC is demonstrably met
+- [ ] Can explain how implementation satisfies AC
+- [ ] Edge cases considered
+
+### 4. Patterns Followed
+
+Verify code quality:
+
+- [ ] Follows existing code patterns in codebase
+- [ ] Follows project-context rules (if exists)
+- [ ] Error handling consistent with codebase
+- [ ] No obvious code smells introduced

+## UPDATE TECH-SPEC (Mode A only)
+
+If `{execution_mode}` is "tech-spec":
+
+1. Load `{tech_spec_path}`
+2. Mark all tasks as `[x]` complete
+3. Update status to "Implementation Complete"
+4. Save changes
+
+---
+
+## IMPLEMENTATION SUMMARY

+
+# Step 5: Adversarial Code Review
+
+**Goal:** Construct diff of all changes, invoke adversarial review task, present findings.
+
+---
+
+## AVAILABLE STATE
+
+From previous steps:
+
+- `{baseline_commit}` - Git HEAD at workflow start (CRITICAL for diff)
+- `{execution_mode}` - "tech-spec" or "direct"
+- `{tech_spec_path}` - Tech-spec file (if Mode A)
+
+---
+
+## STEP 1: CONSTRUCT DIFF
+
+Build complete diff of all changes since workflow started.
+
+### Tracked File Changes
+
+```bash
+git diff {baseline_commit}
+```
+
+### New Untracked Files
+
+Only include untracked files that YOU created during this workflow (steps 2-4).
+Do not include pre-existing untracked files.
+For each new file created, include its full content as a "new file" addition.
+
+### Capture as {diff_output}
+
+Merge tracked changes and new files into `{diff_output}`.
+
+**Note:** Do NOT `git add` anything - this is read-only inspection.
+
+---
+
+## STEP 2: INVOKE ADVERSARIAL REVIEW
+
+With `{diff_output}` constructed, invoke the review task:
+
+```xml
+{project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/review-adversarial-general.xml
+```
+
+**Platform fallback:** If task invocation not available, load the task file and execute its instructions inline, passing `{diff_output}` as the content input.
+
+The task will:
+
+- Review with cynical skepticism
+- Find at least 5 issues
+- Assign IDs (F1, F2...), severity (critical/high/medium/low), classification (real/noise/uncertain)
+- Return structured findings table
+
+---
+
+## STEP 3: RECEIVE FINDINGS
+
+Capture the findings from the task output.
+
+**If zero findings:** HALT - this is suspicious. Re-analyze or request user guidance.
+
+---
+
+## NEXT STEP
+
+With findings in hand, load `step-06-resolve-findings.md` for user to choose resolution approach.
+
+---
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS
+
+- Diff constructed from baseline_commit
+- New files included in diff
+- Task invoked with diff as input
+- Findings received with IDs, severity, classification
+- Zero-findings case handled appropriately
+
+## FAILURE MODES
+
+- Missing baseline_commit (can't construct accurate diff)
+- Not including new untracked files in diff
+- Invoking task without providing diff input
+- Accepting zero findings without questioning

+# Step 6: Resolve Findings
+
+**Goal:** Handle adversarial review findings interactively, apply fixes, finalize tech-spec.
+
+---
+
+## AVAILABLE STATE
+
+From previous steps:
+
+- `{baseline_commit}` - Git HEAD at workflow start
+- `{execution_mode}` - "tech-spec" or "direct"
+- `{tech_spec_path}` - Tech-spec file (if Mode A)
+- Findings table from step-05
+
+---
+
+## RESOLUTION OPTIONS
+
+Present choice to user:
+
+```
+How would you like to handle these findings?
+
+**[1] Walk through** - Discuss each finding individually
+**[2] Auto-fix** - Automatically fix issues classified as "real"
+**[3] Skip** - Acknowledge and proceed to commit
+```
+
+---
+
+## OPTION 1: WALK THROUGH
+
+For each finding in order:
+
+1. Present the finding with context
+2. Ask: **fix now / skip / discuss**
+3. If fix: Apply the fix immediately
+4. If skip: Note as acknowledged, continue
+5. If discuss: Provide more context, re-ask
+6. Move to next finding
+
+After all findings processed, summarize what was fixed/skipped.
+
+---
+
+## OPTION 2: AUTO-FIX
+
+1. Filter findings to only those classified as "real"
+2. Apply fixes for each real finding
+3. Report what was fixed:
+
+```
+**Auto-fix Applied:**
+- F1: {description of fix}
+- F3: {description of fix}
+...
+
+Skipped (noise/uncertain): F2, F4
+```
+
+---
+
+## OPTION 3: SKIP
+
+1. Acknowledge all findings were reviewed
+2. Note that user chose to proceed without fixes
+3. Continue to completion
+
+---
+
+## UPDATE TECH-SPEC (Mode A only)
+
+If `{execution_mode}` is "tech-spec":
+
+1. Load `{tech_spec_path}`
+2. Update status to "Completed"
+3. Add review notes:
+ ```
+ ## Review Notes
+ - Adversarial review completed
+ - Findings: {count} total, {fixed} fixed, {skipped} skipped
+ - Resolution approach: {walk-through/auto-fix/skip}
+ ```
+4. Save changes
+
+---
+
+## COMPLETION OUTPUT
+
+```
+**Review complete. Ready to commit.**
+
+**Implementation Summary:**
+- {what was implemented}
+- Files modified: {count}
+- Tests: {status}
+- Review findings: {X} addressed, {Y} skipped
+
+{Explain what was implemented based on user_skill_level}
+```
+
+---
+
+## WORKFLOW COMPLETE
+
+This is the final step. The Quick Dev workflow is now complete.
+
+User can:
+
+- Commit changes
+- Run additional tests
+- Start new Quick Dev session
+
+---
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS
+
+- User presented with resolution options
+- Chosen approach executed correctly
+- Fixes applied cleanly (if applicable)
+- Tech-spec updated with final status (Mode A)
+- Completion summary provided
+- User understands what was implemented
+
+## FAILURE MODES
+
+- Not presenting resolution options
+- Auto-fixing "noise" or "uncertain" findings
+- Not updating tech-spec after resolution (Mode A)
+- No completion summary
+- Leaving user unclear on next steps

+# Quick Dev Workflow
+
+**Goal:** Execute implementation tasks efficiently, either from a tech-spec or direct user instructions.
+
+**Your Role:** You are an elite full-stack developer executing tasks autonomously. Follow patterns, ship code, run tests. Every response moves the project forward.
+
+---
+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+This uses **step-file architecture** for focused execution:
+
+- Each step loads fresh to combat "lost in the middle"
+- State persists via variables: `{baseline_commit}`, `{execution_mode}`, `{tech_spec_path}`
+- Sequential progression through implementation phases
+
+---
+
+## INITIALIZATION
+
+### Configuration Loading
+
+Load config from `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` and resolve:
+
+- `user_name`, `communication_language`, `user_skill_level`
+- `output_folder`, `sprint_artifacts`
+- `date` as system-generated current datetime
+
+### Paths
+
+- `installed_path` = `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/bmad-quick-flow/quick-dev`
+- `project_context` = `**/project-context.md` (load if exists)
+- `project_levels` = `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/workflow-status/project-levels.yaml`
+
+### Related Workflows
+
+- `create_tech_spec_workflow` = `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/bmad-quick-flow/create-tech-spec/workflow.yaml`
+- `workflow_init` = `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/workflow-status/init/workflow.yaml`
+- `party_mode_exec` = `{project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.md`
+- `advanced_elicitation` = `{project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml`
+
+---
+
+## CHECKPOINT HANDLERS
+
+At any checkpoint throughout this workflow, the following options are available:
+
+- **[a] Advanced Elicitation** - Invoke `{advanced_elicitation}` for deeper analysis using First Principles, Pre-mortem, or other techniques
+- **[p] Party Mode** - Invoke `{party_mode_exec}` to bring in multiple agent perspectives for complex decisions
+
+These are optional power tools - use when stuck, facing ambiguity, or wanting diverse input.
+
+---
+
+## EXECUTION
+
+Load and execute `steps/step-01-mode-detection.md` to begin the workflow.
