# Task: BMAD Help
## EXECUTION
1 Load `./workflows.csv` and `{project-root}/_bmad/_config/agent-manifest.csv`.
### INPUT Arg handling
Task input argument may provide:
- A workflow **name** just completed (e.g., "validating the UX", "Create PRD", "done with architecture")
- A workflow **code** (e.g., "VU", "CP", "CA")
- conversational phrase
- Nothing - in which case you should infer from #CONTEXT-INFERENCE
## CONTEXT INFERENCE
If no explicit workflow row is provided as just completed, check the conversation context:
- Did someone recently state they completed something? (e.g., "I'm done with my PRD")
- Proceed as if that was the presented arg input
- Was a workflow just completed in this conversation?
- Proceed as if that was the presented arg input
- Do not actually load or read and of these yet to avoid context bloat, but just use file search to see what can be found in {`config:output_folder`}, {`config:planning_artifacts`}, {`config:implementation_artifacts`} or {`config:project_knowledge`} and try to infer from the file names. If a location has an index.md you can read that if needed. Remember: Artifacts could be nested deep under these locations also.
- Based on fuzzy matching or inference of what a row indicates as output vs what has been found, infer what steps might be complete but need user confirmation
- If unclear, ask: "What workflow did you most recently complete?"
Find all workflow items after the completed row. Present these in a clear, conversational format.
**Phases number to name reference:** Phase 0 (Any Time), Phase 1 (Analysis), Phase 2 (Planning), Phase 3 (Solutioning), Phase 4 (Implementation)
**If the request is for next steps, present the next steps as follows:**
1. **Optional items first** - List any optional workflows until a required step is reached
2. **Required items next** - List the next required workflow
3. For each item, show:
- The workflow **name**
- The **command** (prefixed with `/`, e.g., `/bmad:bmm:create-architecture`)
- The **agent** displayName and title from the loaded agent-manifest that corresponds with the agent value in each row who can help, e.g., `Winston the Architect`
- A brief **description** so the user can decide easily
**Recommendation format:**
- Suggest running each workflow in a **fresh context window** for best results
- Option: Load the agent and type the **code** for the menu item, or run the **slash command** with or without loading the agent first
- Note: Running without the agent will not include all specifics of the agent personality or any customizations, but will still have aspects of an expert at what will be done.
- For **validation workflows**: recommend using a different high-quality LLM if available
**If the request is more conversational, then give a more conversational response, still following the convention of how to portray specific agents and commands.
Upon presentation of whats next recommendation - return back to the calling process or conversation thread.

# Task: BMAD Help
## KEY RULES
- **Empty `phase` = anytime** — Universal tools work regardless of workflow state
- **Numbered phases indicate sequence** — Phases like `1-discover``2-define``3-build``4-ship` flow in order (naming varies by module)
- **Stay in module** — Guide through the active module's workflow based on phase+sequence ordering
- **Descriptions contain routing** — Read for alternate paths (e.g., "back to previous if fixes needed")
- **`required=true` blocks progress** — Required workflows must complete before proceeding to later phases
- **Artifacts reveal completion** — Search resolved output paths for `outputs` patterns, fuzzy-match found files to workflow rows
## MODULE DETECTION
- **Empty `module` column** → universal tools (work across all modules)
- **Named `module`** → module-specific workflows
Detect the active module from conversation context, recent workflows, or user query keywords. If ambiguous, ask the user.
## INPUT ANALYSIS
Determine what was just completed:
- Did someone state they completed something? Proceed as if that was the input.
- Was a workflow just completed in this conversation? Proceed as if that was the input.
- Search resolved artifact locations for files; fuzzy-match to workflow `outputs` patterns.
- If an `index.md` exists, read it for additional context.
- If still unclear, ask: "What workflow did you most recently complete?"
## EXECUTION
1. **Load catalog** — Load `{project-root}/_bmad/_config/bmad-help.csv`
2. **Resolve output locations** — Scan each folder under `_bmad/` (except `_config`) for `config.yaml`. For each workflow row, resolve its `output-location` variables against that module's config so artifact paths can be searched.
3. **Analyze input** — Task may provide a workflow name/code, conversational phrase, or nothing. Infer what was just completed using INPUT ANALYSIS above.
4. **Detect active module** — Use MODULE DETECTION above to determine which module the user is working in.
5. **Present recommendations** — Show next steps based on completed workflows, phase/sequence ordering (KEY RULES), and artifact detection. Format per the following
## RECOMMENDED OUTPUT FORMAT
**Optional items first** — List optional workflows until a required step is reached
**Required items next** — List the next required workflow
For each item show:
- Workflow **name**
- **Command** (prefixed with `/`, e.g., `/bmad:example:build-prototype`)
- **Agent** title and display name from the CSV (e.g., "🎨 Alex (Designer)")
- Brief **description**
### Additional response output guidance to convey:
- Run each workflow in a **fresh context window**
- Load the agent using (`/` + `agent-command`), or run the workflow command directly
- For **validation workflows**: recommend using a different high-quality LLM if available
- For conversational requests: match the user's tone while presenting clearly
6. Return to the calling process after presenting recommendations.
