Added reusable `discover_inputs` protocol to workflow.xml for intelligent file loading - Supports three loading strategies: - FULL_LOAD: Load all shards for PRD, Architecture, UX (changed pattern from /index.md to /*/*.md) - SELECTIVE_LOAD: Load specific shard via template variable (e.g., epic-{{epic_num}}.md) - INDEX_GUIDED: Load index, analyze TOC, intelligently load relevant docs (with "DO NOT BE LAZY" mandate) - Auto-discovers whole vs sharded documents with proper fallback - Provides transparent reporting of loaded content with file counts - Invoked via tag in workflow instructions ### Advanced Elicitation Improvements - Renamed adv-elicit.xml to advanced-elicitation.xml for clarity - Updated all references across agents and commands ### Shard Document Tool Enhancement - Added Step 6: Handle Original Document with three options: - [d] Delete - Remove original (recommended, prevents confusion) - [m] Move to archive - Backup original to archive folder - [k] Keep - Warning about defeating sharding purpose - Prevents issue where both whole and sharded versions exist, confusing discover_inputs protocol ## BMM Module - Input File Pattern Standardization ### Phase 1 - Analysis (1 workflow) - product-brief: Added load_strategy (FULL_LOAD for research/brainstorming, INDEX_GUIDED for document_project) - Updated instructions.md to use invoke-protocol, replaced manual fuzzy matching ### Phase 2 - Planning (4 workflows) - prd: Added load_strategy, updated instructions to reference {product_brief_content}, {research_content} - create-ux-design: Added load_strategy, removed fuzzy matching from instructions - tech-spec: Added load_strategy for brownfield context discovery - All epics patterns updated to support SELECTIVE_LOAD for specific epic shards ### Phase 3 - Solutioning (2 workflows) - architecture: Added load_strategy, updated instructions to use pre-loaded {prd_content}, {epics_content}, {ux_design_content} - solutioning-gate-check: Added load_strategy, replaced manual discovery with protocol invocation ### Phase 4 - Implementation (8 workflows) - code-review: Added load_strategy, fixed sharded patterns to /*/*.md, added step 1.5 for protocol - correct-course: Added complete input_file_patterns section (was missing), added step 0.5 - create-story: Added load_strategy, updated to SELECTIVE_LOAD for epics, added step 1.5 - dev-story: Added complete input_file_patterns section (was missing), added step 0.5 - epic-tech-context: Added load_strategy, updated PRD extraction to use {prd_content}, added step 1.5 - retrospective: Added load_strategy for architecture/prd (FULL_LOAD), epics (SELECTIVE_LOAD), added step 0.5 - sprint-planning: Fixed sharded pattern to load ALL epics (/*/*.md), added step 0.5 - story-context: Added load_strategy, updated doc collection to reference pre-loaded content, added step 1.5 ### Sprint Artifacts Path Corrections - story-done: Added missing sprint_artifacts variable, fixed sprint_status path from {context_dir} to {sprint_artifacts} - story-ready: Added missing sprint_artifacts variable - story-context: Fixed undefined {context_dir} -> {sprint_artifacts} - correct-course: Added sprint_artifacts and sprint_status variables ## BMGD Module - Phase 4 Production Workflows (NEW) Added complete Phase 4 implementation workflows for game development: - code-review: Senior developer review for completed game features - correct-course: Sprint change management for game projects - create-story: Story generation for game mechanics/features - dev-story: Feature implementation workflow - epic-tech-context: Technical spec generation per game epic - retrospective: Epic completion review and lessons learned - sprint-planning: Game development sprint status tracking - story-context: Dynamic context assembly for game stories - story-done: Story completion workflow - story-ready: Story readiness workflow All BMGD workflows follow BMM patterns with game-specific adaptations. ## Agent Updates ### BMM Agents - Updated all 7 BMM agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, tech-writer, ux-designer) - Standardized web bundle configurations ### BMGD Agents - Updated 4 game development agents (game-architect, game-designer, game-dev, game-scrum-master) - Aligned with BMM agent structure ### CIS Agents - Updated 5 creative intelligence agents for consistency ## Documentation & Configuration - Updated CHANGELOG.md with Phase 4 workflow additions - Updated files-manifest.csv and task-manifest.csv - Updated .claude commands for all agents - Fixed formatting issues from previous commits ## Breaking Changes NONE - All changes are backward compatible. Workflows without input_file_patterns continue to work. Workflows with input_file_patterns now benefit from intelligent auto-loading. ## Migration Notes Existing workflows can gradually adopt discover_inputs protocol by: 1. Adding load_strategy to existing input_file_patterns in workflow.yaml 2. Adding step in instructions.md 3. Replacing manual file loading with references to {pattern_name_content} variables --- .bmad/_cfg/files-manifest.csv | 4 +- .bmad/_cfg/task-manifest.csv | 2 +-

- **Agents**: Contains `` or `` XML tags - - **Workflows**: Contains workflow YAML or instruction patterns - - **Modules**: Contains multiple organized agents/workflows - - **Tasks**: Contains `` 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 `` 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 `{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml` 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 -

-_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 -

-## 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** - - Define scope and purpose - - Identify components - - Design architecture - -2. **Scaffolding Phase** - - Create directory structure - - Generate configurations - - Setup installer - -3. **Building Phase** - - Create agents incrementally - - Build workflows progressively - - Add tasks as needed - -4. **Testing Phase** - - Test individual components - - Verify integration - - Validate installation - -5. **Deployment Phase** - - Package module - - 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 - -## Example Modules - -### Example 1: Personal Productivity -

Directly by users: `/workflow-name` or IDE command -2. From agent menus: `workflow: "{path}/workflow.yaml"` -3. From other workflows: `` - -**Non-standalone workflows**: - -1. ❌ Cannot be invoked directly by users -2. ❌ Cannot be called from IDE commands -3. ✅ Can be invoked by other workflows via `` -4. ✅ Can be called from agent menu items - -#### Module Design Implications - -**Typical Module Pattern**: - -```yaml -# Entry-point workflows: standalone: true -bmm/workflows/plan-project/workflow.yaml → standalone: true -bmm/workflows/architecture/workflow.yaml → standalone: true - -# Helper workflows: standalone: false -bmm/workflows/internal/validate-epic/workflow.yaml → standalone: false -bmm/workflows/internal/format-story/workflow.yaml → standalone: false -``` - -**Benefits of this pattern**: - -- Clear separation between user-facing and internal workflows -- Prevents users from accidentally invoking incomplete/internal workflows -- Cleaner IDE command palette (only shows standalone workflows) -- Better encapsulation and maintainability - -### Common Patterns - -**Full Document Workflow** (most common) - -- Has: All 4 files -- Use for: PRDs, architectures, specs - -**Action Workflow** (no template) - -- Has: workflow.yaml + instructions.md -- Use for: Refactoring, tool orchestration - -**Autonomous Workflow** (no interaction) - -- Has: workflow.yaml + template + instructions -- Use for: Automated generation - -## Writing Instructions - -### Instruction Styles: Intent-Based vs Prescriptive - -**CRITICAL DESIGN DECISION**: Choose your instruction style early - it fundamentally shapes the user experience. - -#### Default Recommendation: Intent-Based (Adaptive) - -**Intent-based workflows give the AI goals and principles, letting it adapt the conversation naturally to the user's context.** This is the BMAD v6 default for most workflows. - -#### The Two Approaches - -##### 1. Intent-Based Instructions (RECOMMENDED) - -**What it is**: Guide the AI with goals, principles, and context - let it determine the best way to interact with each user. - -**Characteristics**: - -- Uses `` tags with guiding instructions -- Focuses on WHAT to accomplish and WHY it matters -- Lets AI adapt conversation to user needs -- More flexible and conversational -- Better for complex discovery and iterative refinement - -**When to use**: - -- Complex discovery processes (requirements gathering, architecture design) -- Creative brainstorming and ideation -- Iterative refinement workflows -- When user input quality matters more than consistency -- Workflows requiring adaptation to context -- Teaching/educational workflows -- When users have varying skill levels - -**Example**: - -```xml - - Engage in collaborative discovery to understand their target users: - - Ask open-ended questions to explore: - - Who will use this product? - - What problems do they face? - - What are their goals and motivations? - - How tech-savvy are they? - - Listen for clues about: - - Demographics and characteristics - - Pain points and needs - - Current solutions they use - - Unmet needs or frustrations - - Adapt your depth and terminology to the user's responses. - If they give brief answers, dig deeper with follow-ups. - If they're uncertain, help them think through it with examples. - - - target_audience - -``` - -**Intent-based workflow adapts**: - -- **Expert user** might get: "Tell me about your target users - demographics, pain points, and technical profile?" -- **Beginner user** might get: "Let's talk about who will use this. Imagine your ideal customer - what do they look like? What problem are they trying to solve?" - -##### 2. Prescriptive Instructions (Use Selectively) - -**What it is**: Provide exact wording for questions and specific options for answers. - -**Characteristics**: - -- Uses `` tags with exact question text -- Provides specific options or formats -- More controlled and predictable -- Ensures consistency across runs -- Better for simple data collection or compliance needs - -**When to use**: - -- Simple data collection (platform choice, format selection) -- Compliance verification and standards adherence -- Configuration with finite, well-defined options -- When consistency is critical across all executions -- Quick setup wizards -- Binary decisions (yes/no, enable/disable) -- When gathering specific required fields - -**Example**: - -```xml - - What is your target platform? - - 1. Web (browser-based application) - 2. Mobile (iOS/Android native apps) - 3. Desktop (Windows/Mac/Linux applications) - 4. CLI (command-line tool) - 5. API (backend service) - - Enter the number (1-5): - - Store the platform choice as {{target_platform}} - target_platform - -``` - -**Prescriptive workflow stays consistent** - every user gets the same 5 options in the same format. - -#### Best Practice: Mix Both Styles - -**Even predominantly intent-based workflows should use prescriptive moments** for simple choices. Even prescriptive workflows can have intent-based discovery. - -**Example of effective mixing**: - -```xml - - - Explore the user's vision through open conversation: - - Help them articulate: - - The core problem they're solving - - Their unique approach or innovation - - The experience they want to create - - Adapt your questions based on their expertise and communication style. - If they're visionary, explore the "why". If they're technical, explore the "how". - - vision - - - - - What is your target platform? Choose one: - - Web - - Mobile - - Desktop - - CLI - - API - - Store as {{platform}} - - - - - Facilitate collaborative UX design: - - Guide them to explore: - - User journey and key flows - - Interaction patterns and affordances - - Visual/aesthetic direction - - Use their platform choice from step 2 to inform relevant patterns. - For web: discuss responsive design. For mobile: touch interactions. Etc. - - ux_design - -``` - -#### Interactivity Levels - -Beyond style (intent vs prescriptive), consider **how interactive** your workflow should be: - -##### High Interactivity (Collaborative) - -- Constant back-and-forth with user -- Multiple asks per step -- Iterative refinement and review -- User guides the direction -- **Best for**: Creative work, complex decisions, learning - -**Example**: - -```xml - - Collaborate on feature definitions: - - For each feature the user proposes: - - Help them articulate it clearly - - Explore edge cases together - - Consider implications and dependencies - - Refine the description iteratively - - After each feature: "Want to refine this, add another, or move on?" - - -``` - -##### Medium Interactivity (Guided) - -- Key decision points have interaction -- AI proposes, user confirms or refines -- Validation checkpoints -- **Best for**: Most document workflows, structured processes - -**Example**: - -```xml - - Based on the PRD, identify 10-15 key architectural decisions needed - For each decision, research options and present recommendation - Approve this decision or propose alternative? - Record decision and rationale - -``` - -##### Low Interactivity (Autonomous) - -- Minimal user input required -- AI works independently with guidelines -- User reviews final output -- **Best for**: Automated generation, batch processing - -**Example**: - -```xml - - For each epic in the PRD, generate 3-7 user stories following this pattern: - - As a [user type] - - I want to [action] - - So that [benefit] - - Ensure stories are: - - Independently valuable - - Testable - - Sized appropriately (1-5 days of work) - - - user_stories - - - - Review the generated user stories. Want to refine any? (y/n) - - Regenerate with feedback - - -``` - -#### Decision Framework - -**Choose Intent-Based when**: - -- ✅ User knowledge/skill level varies -- ✅ Context matters (one-size-fits-all won't work) -- ✅ Discovery and exploration are important -- ✅ Quality of input matters more than consistency -- ✅ Teaching/education is part of the goal -- ✅ Iteration and refinement expected - -**Choose Prescriptive when**: - -- ✅ Options are finite and well-defined -- ✅ Consistency across users is critical -- ✅ Compliance or standards matter -- ✅ Simple data collection -- ✅ Users just need to make a choice and move on -- ✅ Speed matters more than depth - -**Choose High Interactivity when**: - -- ✅ User expertise is essential -- ✅ Creative collaboration needed -- ✅ Decisions have major implications -- ✅ Learning and understanding matter -- ✅ Iteration is expected - -**Choose Low Interactivity when**: - -- ✅ Process is well-defined and repeatable -- ✅ AI can work autonomously with clear guidelines -- ✅ User time is constrained -- ✅ Batch processing or automation desired -- ✅ Review-and-refine model works - -#### Implementation Guidelines - -**For Intent-Based Workflows**: - -1. **Use `` tags with guiding instructions** - -```xml -Facilitate discovery of {{topic}}: - -Ask open-ended questions to explore: -- {{aspect_1}} -- {{aspect_2}} - -Listen for clues about {{patterns_to_notice}}. - -Adapt your approach based on their {{context_factor}}. - -``` - -2. **Provide principles, not scripts** - -```xml - -Help user articulate their unique value proposition. -Focus on what makes them different, not just what they do. -If they struggle, offer examples from analogous domains. - - -What makes your product unique? Provide 2-3 bullet points. -``` - -3. **Guide with context and rationale** - -```xml -Now that we understand their {{context_from_previous}}, -explore how {{current_topic}} connects to their vision. - -This matters because {{reason_it_matters}}. - -If they seem uncertain about {{potential_challenge}}, help them think through {{approach}}. - -``` - -**For Prescriptive Workflows**: - -1. **Use `` tags with specific questions** - -```xml -Select your preferred database: -1. PostgreSQL -2. MySQL -3. MongoDB -4. SQLite - -Enter number (1-4): -``` - -2. **Provide clear options and formats** - -```xml -Enable user authentication? (yes/no) -Enter project name (lowercase, no spaces): -``` - -3. **Keep it crisp and clear** - -```xml - -Target platform? (web/mobile/desktop) - - -We need to know what platform you're building for. This will affect -the technology stack recommendations. Please choose: web, mobile, or desktop. -``` - -#### Mixing Styles Within a Workflow - -**Pattern: Intent-based discovery → Prescriptive capture → Intent-based refinement** - -```xml - - - Engage in open conversation to understand user needs deeply... - - - - - Expected daily active users? (number) - Data sensitivity level? (public/internal/sensitive/highly-sensitive) - - - - - Collaborate on solution design, using the metrics from step 2 to inform scale and security decisions... - -``` - -**Pattern: Prescriptive setup → Intent-based execution** - -```xml - - - Project type?

Add input_file_patterns to workflow.yaml - -```yaml -# Smart input file references - handles both whole docs and sharded docs -# Priority: Whole document first, then sharded version -input_file_patterns: - prd: - whole: '{output_folder}/*prd*.md' - sharded: '{output_folder}/*prd*/index.md' - - epics: - whole: '{output_folder}/*epic*.md' - sharded_index: '{output_folder}/*epic*/index.md' - sharded_single: '{output_folder}/*epic*/epic-{{epic_num}}.md' # For selective load - - architecture: - whole: '{output_folder}/*architecture*.md' - sharded: '{output_folder}/*architecture*/index.md' - - document_project: - sharded: '{output_folder}/docs/index.md' # Brownfield always uses index -``` - -#### 2. Add Discovery Instructions to instructions.md - -Place early in instructions (after critical declarations, before workflow steps): - -```markdown -## 📚 Document Discovery - -This workflow requires: [list required documents] - -**Discovery Process** (execute for each document): - -1. **Search for whole document first** - Use fuzzy file matching -2. **Check for sharded version** - If whole document not found, look for `{doc-name}/index.md` -3. **If sharded version found**: - - Read `index.md` to understand the document structure - - Read ALL section files listed in the index (or specific sections for selective load) - - Treat the combined content as if it were a single document -4. **Brownfield projects**: The `document-project` workflow creates `{output_folder}/docs/index.md` - -**Priority**: If both whole and sharded versions exist, use the whole document. - -**Fuzzy matching**: Be flexible with document names - users may use variations. -``` - -#### 3. Choose Loading Strategy - -**Full Load Strategy** (most workflows): - -```xml -Search for document using fuzzy pattern: {output_folder}/*prd*.md -If not found, check for sharded version: {output_folder}/*prd*/index.md -Read index.md to understand structure -Read ALL section files listed in index -Combine content as single document -``` - -**Selective Load Strategy** (advanced - for phase 4 type workflows): - -```xml -Determine section needed (e.g., epic_num from story key) -Check for sharded version: {output_folder}/*epics*/index.md -Read ONLY the specific section file: epics/epic-{{epic_num}}.md -Skip all other section files (efficiency optimization) -Load complete document and extract relevant section -``` - -### Pattern Examples - -**Example 1: Simple Full Load** - -```yaml -# workflow.yaml -input_file_patterns: - requirements: - whole: '{output_folder}/*requirements*.md' - sharded: '{output_folder}/*requirements*/index.md' -``` - -```markdown - - -## Document Discovery - -Load requirements document (whole or sharded). - -1. Try whole: _requirements_.md -2. If not found, try sharded: _requirements_/index.md -3. If sharded: Read index + ALL section files -``` - -**Example 2: Selective Load with Epic Number** - -```yaml -# workflow.yaml -input_file_patterns: - epics: - whole: '{output_folder}/*epic*.md' - sharded_single: '{output_folder}/*epic*/epic-{{epic_num}}.md' -``` - -```xml - - - Extract epic number from story key (e.g., "3-2-feature" → epic_num = 3) - Check for sharded epics: {output_folder}/*epic*/index.md - Load ONLY epics/epic-{{epic_num}}.md (selective optimization) - Load full epics.md and extract Epic {{epic_num}} - -``` - -### Testing Your Sharding Support - -1. **Test with whole document**: Verify workflow works with single `document.md` -2. **Test with sharded document**: Create sharded version and verify discovery -3. **Test with both present**: Ensure whole document takes priority -4. **Test selective loading**: Verify only needed sections are loaded (if applicable) -

-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 -``` -

Intent-Based Instructions (RECOMMENDED) + +**What it is**: Guide the AI with goals, principles, and context - let it determine the best way to interact with each user. + +**Characteristics**: + +- Uses `` tags with guiding instructions +- Focuses on WHAT to accomplish and WHY it matters +- Lets AI adapt conversation to user needs +- More flexible and conversational +- Better for complex discovery and iterative refinement + +**When to use**: + +- Complex discovery processes (requirements gathering, architecture design) +- Creative brainstorming and ideation +- Iterative refinement workflows +- When user input quality matters more than consistency +- Workflows requiring adaptation to context +- Teaching/educational workflows +- When users have varying skill levels + +**Example**: + +```xml + + Engage in collaborative discovery to understand their target users: + + Ask open-ended questions to explore: + - Who will use this product? + - What problems do they face? + - What are their goals and motivations? + - How tech-savvy are they? + + Listen for clues about: + - Demographics and characteristics + - Pain points and needs + - Current solutions they use + - Unmet needs or frustrations + + Adapt your depth and terminology to the user's responses. + If they give brief answers, dig deeper with follow-ups. + If they're uncertain, help them think through it with examples. + + + target_audience + +``` + +**Intent-based workflow adapts**: + +- **Expert user** might get: "Tell me about your target users - demographics, pain points, and technical profile?" +- **Beginner user** might get: "Let's talk about who will use this. Imagine your ideal customer - what do they look like? What problem are they trying to solve?" + +##### 2. Prescriptive Instructions (Use Selectively) + +**What it is**: Provide exact wording for questions and specific options for answers. + +**Characteristics**: + +- Uses `` tags with exact question text +- Provides specific options or formats +- More controlled and predictable +- Ensures consistency across runs +- Better for simple data collection or compliance needs + +**When to use**: + +- Simple data collection (platform choice, format selection) +- Compliance verification and standards adherence +- Configuration with finite, well-defined options +- When consistency is critical across all executions +- Quick setup wizards +- Binary decisions (yes/no, enable/disable) +- When gathering specific required fields + +**Example**: + +```xml + + What is your target platform? + + 1. Web (browser-based application) + 2. Mobile (iOS/Android native apps) + 3. Desktop (Windows/Mac/Linux applications) + 4. CLI (command-line tool) + 5. API (backend service) + + Enter the number (1-5): + + Store the platform choice as {{target_platform}} + target_platform + +``` + +**Prescriptive workflow stays consistent** - every user gets the same 5 options in the same format. + +#### Best Practice: Mix Both Styles + +**Even predominantly intent-based workflows should use prescriptive moments** for simple choices. Even prescriptive workflows can have intent-based discovery. + +**Example of effective mixing**: + +```xml + + + Explore the user's vision through open conversation: + + Help them articulate: + - The core problem they're solving + - Their unique approach or innovation + - The experience they want to create + + Adapt your questions based on their expertise and communication style. + If they're visionary, explore the "why". If they're technical, explore the "how". + + vision + + + + + What is your target platform? Choose one: + - Web + - Mobile + - Desktop + - CLI + - API + + Store as {{platform}} + + + + + Facilitate collaborative UX design: + + Guide them to explore: + - User journey and key flows + - Interaction patterns and affordances + - Visual/aesthetic direction + + Use their platform choice from step 2 to inform relevant patterns. + For web: discuss responsive design. For mobile: touch interactions. Etc. + + ux_design + +``` + +#### Interactivity Levels + +Beyond style (intent vs prescriptive), consider **how interactive** your workflow should be: + +##### High Interactivity (Collaborative) + +- Constant back-and-forth with user +- Multiple asks per step +- Iterative refinement and review +- User guides the direction +- **Best for**: Creative work, complex decisions, learning + +**Example**: + +```xml + + Collaborate on feature definitions: + + For each feature the user proposes: + - Help them articulate it clearly + - Explore edge cases together + - Consider implications and dependencies + - Refine the description iteratively + + After each feature: "Want to refine this, add another, or move on?" + + +``` + +##### Medium Interactivity (Guided) + +- Key decision points have interaction +- AI proposes, user confirms or refines +- Validation checkpoints +- **Best for**: Most document workflows, structured processes + +**Example**: + +```xml + + Based on the PRD, identify 10-15 key architectural decisions needed + For each decision, research options and present recommendation + Approve this decision or propose alternative? + Record decision and rationale + +``` + +##### Low Interactivity (Autonomous) + +- Minimal user input required +- AI works independently with guidelines +- User reviews final output +- **Best for**: Automated generation, batch processing + +**Example**: + +```xml + + For each epic in the PRD, generate 3-7 user stories following this pattern: + - As a [user type] + - I want to [action] + - So that [benefit] + + Ensure stories are: + - Independently valuable + - Testable + - Sized appropriately (1-5 days of work) + + + user_stories + + + + Review the generated user stories. Want to refine any? (y/n) + + Regenerate with feedback + + +``` + +#### Decision Framework + +**Choose Intent-Based when**: + +- ✅ User knowledge/skill level varies +- ✅ Context matters (one-size-fits-all won't work) +- ✅ Discovery and exploration are important +- ✅ Quality of input matters more than consistency +- ✅ Teaching/education is part of the goal +- ✅ Iteration and refinement expected + +**Choose Prescriptive when**: + +- ✅ Options are finite and well-defined +- ✅ Consistency across users is critical +- ✅ Compliance or standards matter +- ✅ Simple data collection +- ✅ Users just need to make a choice and move on +- ✅ Speed matters more than depth + +**Choose High Interactivity when**: + +- ✅ User expertise is essential +- ✅ Creative collaboration needed +- ✅ Decisions have major implications +- ✅ Learning and understanding matter +- ✅ Iteration is expected + +**Choose Low Interactivity when**: + +- ✅ Process is well-defined and repeatable +- ✅ AI can work autonomously with clear guidelines +- ✅ User time is constrained +- ✅ Batch processing or automation desired +- ✅ Review-and-refine model works + +#### Implementation Guidelines + +**For Intent-Based Workflows**: + +1. **Use `` tags with guiding instructions** + +```xml +Facilitate discovery of {{topic}}: + +Ask open-ended questions to explore: +- {{aspect_1}} +- {{aspect_2}} + +Listen for clues about {{patterns_to_notice}}. + +Adapt your approach based on their {{context_factor}}. + +``` + +2. **Provide principles, not scripts** + +```xml + +Help user articulate their unique value proposition. +Focus on what makes them different, not just what they do. +If they struggle, offer examples from analogous domains. + + +What makes your product unique? Provide 2-3 bullet points. +``` + +3. **Guide with context and rationale** + +```xml +Now that we understand their {{context_from_previous}}, +explore how {{current_topic}} connects to their vision. + +This matters because {{reason_it_matters}}. + +If they seem uncertain about {{potential_challenge}}, help them think through {{approach}}. + +``` + +**For Prescriptive Workflows**: + +1. **Use `` tags with specific questions** + +```xml +Select your preferred database: +1.

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

-## 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** - - Define scope and purpose - - Identify components - - Design architecture - -2. **Scaffolding Phase** - - Create directory structure - - Generate configurations - - Setup installer - -3. **Building Phase** - - Create agents incrementally - - Build workflows progressively - - Add tasks as needed - -4. **Testing Phase** - - Test individual components - - Verify integration - - Validate installation - -5. **Deployment Phase** - - Package module - - 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 -

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 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.

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 - -Standard config variable usage: - -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 -Write document to {output_folder}/output-file.md -Communicate all responses in {communication_language} -Hello {user_name}, the workflow is complete! -``` - -Applying instruction style preference: - -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 - -Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics, psychographics, and behavioral characteristics -Explore the user's vision for the product, asking probing questions to uncover core motivations and success criteria -Help user identify and prioritize key features based on user value and technical feasibility - - -Validate that the technical approach aligns with project constraints and team capabilities -Challenge assumptions about user needs and market fit with thought-provoking questions - - -Collaborate with user to refine the architecture, iterating until they're satisfied with the design -``` - -❌ **Avoid (too prescriptive):** - -```xml -What is your target audience age range? Choose: 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45+ -List exactly 3 key features in priority order -``` - -**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 - -What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web -Select monetization model: Premium, Free-to-Play, Subscription, Ad-Supported - - -Does this comply with GDPR requirements? [yes/no] -Choose documentation standard: JSDoc, TypeDoc, TSDoc - - -Do you want to generate test cases? [yes/no] -Include performance benchmarks? [yes/no] -``` - -❌ **Avoid (too rigid for complex tasks):** - -```xml -What are your product goals? List exactly 5 goals, each 10-15 words -Describe your user persona in exactly 3 sentences -``` - -**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 - - - Explore the user's vision for their game, uncovering their creative intent and target experience - Ask probing questions about genre, themes, and emotional tone they want to convey - - - - What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web - Select primary genre: Action, RPG, Strategy, Puzzle, Simulation, Other - - - - Guide user to articulate their core gameplay loop, exploring mechanics and player agency - Help them identify what makes their game unique and compelling - -``` - -**Guidelines for the chosen style:** - -If user chose **Intent-Based**: - -- Default to goal-oriented tags -- Use open-ended guidance language -- Save prescriptive 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 tags with clear options -- Use precise wording for consistency -- Save intent-based tags for complex discovery -- Focus on "choose", "select", "specify", "confirm" -- Provide structured choices when possible - -**Remember:** The goal is optimal human-AI collaboration.

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 -- System variables (date, paths) - -Standard config variables in templates: - -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. - -Save location: - -- Write to {{output_folder}}/template.md - - - -Ask if user wants a validation checklist.

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 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 - - - -Will this workflow need to be deployable as a web bundle?

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 tags - - Data files (CSV, JSON, YAML, etc.) - - Validation/checklist files - - Any calls → must include that workflow's yaml file - - Any 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: `{project-root}/.bmad/core/workflows/x/workflow.yaml` - → Add ".bmad/core/workflows/x/workflow.yaml" to web_bundle_files - -4.

Intent-Based Instructions (RECOMMENDED) - -**What it is**: Guide the AI with goals, principles, and context - let it determine the best way to interact with each user. - -**Characteristics**: - -- Uses `` tags with guiding instructions -- Focuses on WHAT to accomplish and WHY it matters -- Lets AI adapt conversation to user needs -- More flexible and conversational -- Better for complex discovery and iterative refinement - -**When to use**: - -- Complex discovery processes (requirements gathering, architecture design) -- Creative brainstorming and ideation -- Iterative refinement workflows -- When user input quality matters more than consistency -- Workflows requiring adaptation to context -- Teaching/educational workflows -- When users have varying skill levels - -**Example**: - -```xml - - Engage in collaborative discovery to understand their target users: - - Ask open-ended questions to explore: - - Who will use this product? - - What problems do they face? - - What are their goals and motivations? - - How tech-savvy are they? - - Listen for clues about: - - Demographics and characteristics - - Pain points and needs - - Current solutions they use - - Unmet needs or frustrations - - Adapt your depth and terminology to the user's responses. - If they give brief answers, dig deeper with follow-ups. - If they're uncertain, help them think through it with examples. - - - target_audience - -``` - -**Intent-based workflow adapts**: - -- **Expert user** might get: "Tell me about your target users - demographics, pain points, and technical profile?" -- **Beginner user** might get: "Let's talk about who will use this. Imagine your ideal customer - what do they look like? What problem are they trying to solve?" - -##### 2. Prescriptive Instructions (Use Selectively) - -**What it is**: Provide exact wording for questions and specific options for answers. - -**Characteristics**: - -- Uses `` tags with exact question text -- Provides specific options or formats -- More controlled and predictable -- Ensures consistency across runs -- Better for simple data collection or compliance needs - -**When to use**: - -- Simple data collection (platform choice, format selection) -- Compliance verification and standards adherence -- Configuration with finite, well-defined options -- When consistency is critical across all executions -- Quick setup wizards -- Binary decisions (yes/no, enable/disable) -- When gathering specific required fields - -**Example**: - -```xml - - What is your target platform? - - 1. Web (browser-based application) - 2. Mobile (iOS/Android native apps) - 3. Desktop (Windows/Mac/Linux applications) - 4. CLI (command-line tool) - 5. API (backend service) - - Enter the number (1-5): - - Store the platform choice as {{target_platform}} - target_platform - -``` - -**Prescriptive workflow stays consistent** - every user gets the same 5 options in the same format. - -#### Best Practice: Mix Both Styles - -**Even predominantly intent-based workflows should use prescriptive moments** for simple choices. Even prescriptive workflows can have intent-based discovery. - -**Example of effective mixing**: - -```xml - - - Explore the user's vision through open conversation: - - Help them articulate: - - The core problem they're solving - - Their unique approach or innovation - - The experience they want to create - - Adapt your questions based on their expertise and communication style. - If they're visionary, explore the "why". If they're technical, explore the "how". - - vision - - - - - What is your target platform? Choose one: - - Web - - Mobile - - Desktop - - CLI - - API - - Store as {{platform}} - - - - - Facilitate collaborative UX design: - - Guide them to explore: - - User journey and key flows - - Interaction patterns and affordances - - Visual/aesthetic direction - - Use their platform choice from step 2 to inform relevant patterns. - For web: discuss responsive design. For mobile: touch interactions. Etc. - - ux_design - -``` - -#### Interactivity Levels - -Beyond style (intent vs prescriptive), consider **how interactive** your workflow should be: - -##### High Interactivity (Collaborative) - -- Constant back-and-forth with user -- Multiple asks per step -- Iterative refinement and review -- User guides the direction -- **Best for**: Creative work, complex decisions, learning - -**Example**: - -```xml - - Collaborate on feature definitions: - - For each feature the user proposes: - - Help them articulate it clearly - - Explore edge cases together - - Consider implications and dependencies - - Refine the description iteratively - - After each feature: "Want to refine this, add another, or move on?" - - -``` - -##### Medium Interactivity (Guided) - -- Key decision points have interaction -- AI proposes, user confirms or refines -- Validation checkpoints -- **Best for**: Most document workflows, structured processes - -**Example**: - -```xml - - Based on the PRD, identify 10-15 key architectural decisions needed - For each decision, research options and present recommendation - Approve this decision or propose alternative? - Record decision and rationale - -``` - -##### Low Interactivity (Autonomous) - -- Minimal user input required -- AI works independently with guidelines -- User reviews final output -- **Best for**: Automated generation, batch processing - -**Example**: - -```xml - - For each epic in the PRD, generate 3-7 user stories following this pattern: - - As a [user type] - - I want to [action] - - So that [benefit] - - Ensure stories are: - - Independently valuable - - Testable - - Sized appropriately (1-5 days of work) - - - user_stories - - - - Review the generated user stories. Want to refine any? (y/n) - - Regenerate with feedback - - -``` - -#### Decision Framework - -**Choose Intent-Based when**: - -- ✅ User knowledge/skill level varies -- ✅ Context matters (one-size-fits-all won't work) -- ✅ Discovery and exploration are important -- ✅ Quality of input matters more than consistency -- ✅ Teaching/education is part of the goal -- ✅ Iteration and refinement expected - -**Choose Prescriptive when**: - -- ✅ Options are finite and well-defined -- ✅ Consistency across users is critical -- ✅ Compliance or standards matter -- ✅ Simple data collection -- ✅ Users just need to make a choice and move on -- ✅ Speed matters more than depth - -**Choose High Interactivity when**: - -- ✅ User expertise is essential -- ✅ Creative collaboration needed -- ✅ Decisions have major implications -- ✅ Learning and understanding matter -- ✅ Iteration is expected - -**Choose Low Interactivity when**: - -- ✅ Process is well-defined and repeatable -- ✅ AI can work autonomously with clear guidelines -- ✅ User time is constrained -- ✅ Batch processing or automation desired -- ✅ Review-and-refine model works - -#### Implementation Guidelines - -**For Intent-Based Workflows**: - -1. **Use `` tags with guiding instructions** - -```xml -Facilitate discovery of {{topic}}: - -Ask open-ended questions to explore: -- {{aspect_1}} -- {{aspect_2}} - -Listen for clues about {{patterns_to_notice}}. - -Adapt your approach based on their {{context_factor}}. - -``` - -2. **Provide principles, not scripts** - -```xml - -Help user articulate their unique value proposition. -Focus on what makes them different, not just what they do. -If they struggle, offer examples from analogous domains. - - -What makes your product unique? Provide 2-3 bullet points. -``` - -3. **Guide with context and rationale** - -```xml -Now that we understand their {{context_from_previous}}, -explore how {{current_topic}} connects to their vision. - -This matters because {{reason_it_matters}}. - -If they seem uncertain about {{potential_challenge}}, help them think through {{approach}}. - -``` - -**For Prescriptive Workflows**: - -1. **Use `` tags with specific questions** - -```xml -Select your preferred database: -1. PostgreSQL -2. MySQL -3. MongoDB -4. SQLite - -Enter number (1-4): -``` - -2. **Provide clear options and formats** - -```xml -Enable user authentication?

Add input_file_patterns to workflow.yaml - -```yaml -# Smart input file references - handles both whole docs and sharded docs -# Priority: Whole document first, then sharded version -input_file_patterns: - prd: - whole: '{output_folder}/*prd*.md' - sharded: '{output_folder}/*prd*/index.md' - - epics: - whole: '{output_folder}/*epic*.md' - sharded_index: '{output_folder}/*epic*/index.md' - sharded_single: '{output_folder}/*epic*/epic-{{epic_num}}.md' # For selective load - - architecture: - whole: '{output_folder}/*architecture*.md' - sharded: '{output_folder}/*architecture*/index.md' - - document_project: - sharded: '{output_folder}/docs/index.md' # Brownfield always uses index -``` - -#### 2. Add Discovery Instructions to instructions.md - -Place early in instructions (after critical declarations, before workflow steps): - -```markdown -## 📚 Document Discovery - -This workflow requires: [list required documents] - -**Discovery Process** (execute for each document): - -1. **Search for whole document first** - Use fuzzy file matching -2. **Check for sharded version** - If whole document not found, look for `{doc-name}/index.md` -3. **If sharded version found**: - - Read `index.md` to understand the document structure - - Read ALL section files listed in the index (or specific sections for selective load) - - Treat the combined content as if it were a single document -4. **Brownfield projects**: The `document-project` workflow creates `{output_folder}/docs/index.md` - -**Priority**: If both whole and sharded versions exist, use the whole document. - -**Fuzzy matching**: Be flexible with document names - users may use variations. -``` - -#### 3. Choose Loading Strategy - -**Full Load Strategy** (most workflows): - -```xml -Search for document using fuzzy pattern: {output_folder}/*prd*.md -If not found, check for sharded version: {output_folder}/*prd*/index.md -Read index.md to understand structure -Read ALL section files listed in index -Combine content as single document -``` - -**Selective Load Strategy** (advanced - for phase 4 type workflows): - -```xml -Determine section needed (e.g., epic_num from story key) -Check for sharded version: {output_folder}/*epics*/index.md -Read ONLY the specific section file: epics/epic-{{epic_num}}.md -Skip all other section files (efficiency optimization) -Load complete document and extract relevant section -``` - -### Pattern Examples - -**Example 1: Simple Full Load** - -```yaml -# workflow.yaml -input_file_patterns: - requirements: - whole: '{output_folder}/*requirements*.md' - sharded: '{output_folder}/*requirements*/index.md' -``` - -```markdown - - -## Document Discovery - -Load requirements document (whole or sharded). - -1. Try whole: _requirements_.md -2. If not found, try sharded: _requirements_/index.md -3. If sharded: Read index + ALL section files -``` - -**Example 2: Selective Load with Epic Number** - -```yaml -# workflow.yaml -input_file_patterns: - epics: - whole: '{output_folder}/*epic*.md' - sharded_single: '{output_folder}/*epic*/epic-{{epic_num}}.md' -``` - -```xml - - - Extract epic number from story key (e.g., "3-2-feature" → epic_num = 3) - Check for sharded epics: {output_folder}/*epic*/index.md - Load ONLY epics/epic-{{epic_num}}.md (selective optimization) - Load full epics.md and extract Epic {{epic_num}} - -``` - -### Testing Your Sharding Support - -1. **Test with whole document**: Verify workflow works with single `document.md` -2. **Test with sharded document**: Create sharded version and verify discovery -3. **Test with both present**: Ensure whole document takes priority -4. **Test selective loading**: Verify only needed sections are loaded (if applicable) - -### Complete Reference - -**[→ Document Sharding Guide](../../../../docs/document-sharding-guide.md)** - Comprehensive guide with examples - -**BMM Examples**: - -- Full Load: `src/modules/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/prd/` -- Selective Load: `src/modules/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/epic-tech-context/` - -## Web Bundles - -Web bundles allow workflows to be deployed as self-contained packages for web environments. - -### When to Use Web Bundles - -- Deploying workflows to web-based AI platforms -- Creating shareable workflow packages -- Ensuring workflow portability without dependencies -- Publishing workflows for public use - -### Web Bundle Requirements - -1. **Self-Contained**: No external dependencies -2. **No Config Variables**: Cannot use `{config_source}` references -3. **Complete File List**: Every referenced file must be listed -4. **Relative Paths**: Use `.bmad/` root paths (no `{project-root}`) - -### Creating a Web Bundle - -Add this section to your workflow.yaml ensuring critically all dependant files or workflows are listed: - -```yaml -web_bundle: - name: 'workflow-name' - description: 'Workflow description' - author: 'Your Name' - - # Core files (.bmad/-relative paths) - instructions: '.bmad/module/workflows/workflow/instructions.md' - validation: '.bmad/module/workflows/workflow/checklist.md' - template: '.bmad/module/workflows/workflow/template.md' -

-1. **Remove Config Dependencies**: - - Replace `{config_source}:variable` with hardcoded values - - Convert `{project-root}/.bmad/` to `.bmad/` - -2. **Inventory All Files**: - - Scan instructions.md for file references - - Check template.md for includes - - List all data files - -3. **Test Completeness**: - - Ensure no missing file references - - Verify all paths are relative to .bmad/ - -### Example: Complete Web Bundle -

-Interactive workflow for editing existing BMAD modules, including structure, agents, workflows, configuration, and documentation. - -## Purpose - -This workflow helps you improve and maintain BMAD modules by: - -- Analyzing module structure against best practices -- Managing agents and workflows within the module -- Updating configuration and documentation -- Ensuring cross-module integration works correctly -- Maintaining installer configuration (for source modules) - -## When to Use - -Use this workflow when you need to: - -- Add new agents or workflows to a module -- Update module configuration -- Improve module documentation -- Reorganize module structure -- Set up cross-module workflow sharing -- Fix issues in module organization -- Update installer configuration - -## What You'll Need - -- Path to the module directory you want to edit -- Understanding of what changes you want to make -- Access to module documentation (loaded automatically) - -## Workflow Steps - -1. **Load and analyze target module** - Provide path to module directory -2. **Analyze against best practices** - Automatic audit of module structure -3. **Select editing focus** - Choose what aspect to edit -4. **Load relevant documentation and tools** - Auto-loads guides and workflows -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 missing files, broken references -2. **Update module config** - Edit config.yaml fields -3. **Manage agents** - Add, edit, or remove agents -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. - -## Related Resources -

-## 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**: `Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics and needs` - -**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**: `What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web` - -**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 tags to flexible tags for complex steps -- **Make workflow more consistent**: Convert open-ended tags to structured 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.

They are the complete inventory - of user-facing and system capabilities that deliver the product vision. - - **How They Will Be Used:** - - 1. UX Designer reads FRs → designs interactions for each capability - 2. Architect reads FRs → designs systems to support each capability - 3. PM reads FRs → creates epics and stories to implement each capability - 4. Dev Agent reads assembled context → implements stories based on FRs - - **Critical Property - COMPLETENESS:** - Every capability discussed in vision, scope, domain requirements, and project-specific - sections MUST be represented as an FR. Missing FRs = missing capabilities. - - **Critical Property - ALTITUDE:** - FRs state WHAT capability exists and WHO it serves, NOT HOW it's implemented or - specific UI/UX details. Those come later from UX and Architecture. - - - Transform everything discovered into comprehensive functional requirements: - - **Coverage - Pull from EVERYWHERE:** - - - Core features from MVP scope → FRs - - Growth features → FRs (marked as post-MVP if needed) - - Domain-mandated features → FRs - - Project-type specific needs → FRs - - Innovation requirements → FRs - - Anti-patterns (explicitly NOT doing) → Note in FR section if needed - - **Organization - Group by CAPABILITY AREA:** - Don't organize by technology or layer. Group by what users/system can DO: - - - ✅ "User Management" (not "Authentication System") - - ✅ "Content Discovery" (not "Search Algorithm") - - ✅ "Team Collaboration" (not "WebSocket Infrastructure") - - **Format - Flat, Numbered List:** - Each FR is one clear capability statement: - - - FR#: [Actor] can [capability] [context/constraint if needed] - - Number sequentially (FR1, FR2, FR3...) - - Aim for 20-50 FRs for typical projects (fewer for simple, more for complex) - - **Altitude Check:** - Each FR should answer "WHAT capability exists?" NOT "HOW is it implemented?" - - - ✅ "Users can customize appearance settings" - - ❌ "Users can toggle light/dark theme with 3 font size options stored in LocalStorage" - - The second example belongs in Epic Breakdown, not PRD. - - - **Well-written FRs at the correct altitude:** - - **User Account & Access:** - - - FR1: Users can create accounts with email or social authentication - - FR2: Users can log in securely and maintain sessions across devices - - FR3: Users can reset passwords via email verification - - FR4: Users can update profile information and preferences - - FR5: Administrators can manage user roles and permissions - - **Content Management:** - - - FR6: Users can create, edit, and delete content items - - FR7: Users can organize content with tags and categories - - FR8: Users can search content by keyword, tag, or date range - - FR9: Users can export content in multiple formats - - **Data Ownership (local-first products):** - - - FR10: All user data stored locally on user's device - - FR11: Users can export complete data at any time - - FR12: Users can import previously exported data - - FR13: System monitors storage usage and warns before limits - - **Collaboration:** - - - FR14: Users can share content with specific users or teams - - FR15: Users can comment on shared content - - FR16: Users can track content change history - - FR17: Users receive notifications for relevant updates - - **Notice:** - ✅ Each FR is a testable capability - ✅ Each FR is implementation-agnostic (could be built many ways) - ✅ Each FR specifies WHO and WHAT, not HOW - ✅ No UI details, no performance numbers, no technology choices - ✅ Comprehensive coverage of capability areas - - - Generate the complete FR list by systematically extracting capabilities: - - 1. MVP scope → extract all capabilities → write as FRs - 2. Growth features → extract capabilities → write as FRs (note if post-MVP) - 3. Domain requirements → extract mandatory capabilities → write as FRs - 4. Project-type specifics → extract type-specific capabilities → write as FRs - 5. Innovation patterns → extract novel capabilities → write as FRs - - Organize FRs by logical capability groups (5-8 groups typically). - Number sequentially across all groups (FR1, FR2... FR47). - - - SELF-VALIDATION - Before finalizing, ask yourself: - - **Completeness Check:** - - 1. "Did I cover EVERY capability mentioned in the MVP scope section?" - 2. "Did I include domain-specific requirements as FRs?" - 3. "Did I cover the project-type specific needs (API/Mobile/SaaS/etc)?" - 4. "Could a UX designer read ONLY the FRs and know what to design?" - 5. "Could an Architect read ONLY the FRs and know what to support?" - 6. "Are there any user actions or system behaviors we discussed that have no FR?" - - **Altitude Check:** - - 1. "Am I stating capabilities (WHAT) or implementation (HOW)?" - 2. "Am I listing acceptance criteria or UI specifics?" (Remove if yes) - 3. "Could this FR be implemented 5 different ways?" (Good - means it's not prescriptive) - - **Quality Check:** - - 1. "Is each FR clear enough that someone could test whether it exists?" - 2. "Is each FR independent (not dependent on reading other FRs to understand)?" - 3. "Did I avoid vague terms like 'good', 'fast', 'easy'?" (Use NFRs for quality attributes) - - COMPLETENESS GATE: Review your FR list against the entire PRD written so far. - Did you miss anything?

- **Technical Notes:** Implementation guidance, affected components, compliance requirements - - Ensure stories are: - - - Vertically sliced (deliver complete functionality, not just one layer) - - Sequentially ordered (logical progression, no forward dependencies) - - Independently valuable when possible - - Small enough for single-session completion - - Clear enough for autonomous implementation - - For each story in epic {{N}}, output variables following this pattern: -

- No forward dependencies exist (only backward references) - - Story sizing is appropriate for single-session completion - - BDD acceptance criteria are clear and testable - - Details added (what was missing from PRD FRs: UI specifics, performance targets, etc.) - - Domain/compliance requirements are properly distributed - - Sequencing enables incremental value delivery - - **BMad Method Next Steps:** - - This epic breakdown is the INITIAL VERSION.

UX Designer reads FRs → designs interactions for each capability - 2. Architect reads FRs → designs systems to support each capability - 3. PM reads FRs → creates epics and stories to implement each capability - 4. Dev Agent reads assembled context → implements stories based on FRs - - **Critical Property - COMPLETENESS:** - Every capability discussed in vision, scope, domain requirements, and project-specific - sections MUST be represented as an FR.

Domain requirements → extract mandatory capabilities → write as FRs - 4. Project-type specifics → extract type-specific capabilities → write as FRs - 5. Innovation patterns → extract novel capabilities → write as FRs - - Organize FRs by logical capability groups (5-8 groups typically). - Number sequentially across all groups (FR1, FR2... FR47). - - - SELF-VALIDATION - Before finalizing, ask yourself: - - **Completeness Check:** - - 1. "Did I cover EVERY capability mentioned in the MVP scope section?" - 2. "Did I include domain-specific requirements as FRs?" - 3. "Did I cover the project-type specific needs (API/Mobile/SaaS/etc)?" - 4.

- - Good: "User Onboarding", "Content Discovery", "Compliance Framework" - - Avoid: "Database Layer", "API Endpoints", "Frontend" - - Each epic should: - - - Have clear business goal and user value - - Be independently valuable - - Contain 3-8 related capabilities - - Be deliverable in cohesive phase - - For greenfield projects: - - - First epic MUST establish foundation (project setup, core infrastructure, deployment pipeline) -

- Epic goal/value as `epic_goal_{{N}}` - - All stories as repeated pattern `story_title_{{N}}_{{M}}` for each story M - - CRITICAL for Epic 1 (Foundation): - - - Story 1.1 MUST be project setup/infrastructure initialization - - Sets up: repo structure, build system, deployment pipeline basics, core dependencies - - Creates foundation for all subsequent stories - - Note: Architecture workflow will flesh out technical details - - Each story should follow BDD-style acceptance criteria: - - **Story Pattern:** - As a [user type], - I want [specific capability], - So that [clear value/benefit]. - - **Acceptance Criteria using BDD:** - Given [precondition or initial state] - When [action or trigger] - Then [expected outcome] - - And [additional criteria as needed] - - **Prerequisites:** Only previous stories (never forward dependencies) - - **Technical Notes:** Implementation guidance, affected components, compliance requirements - - Ensure stories are: - - - Vertically sliced (deliver complete functionality, not just one layer) - - Sequentially ordered (logical progression, no forward dependencies) - - Independently valuable when possible - - Small enough for single-session completion - - Clear enough for autonomous implementation - - For each story in epic {{N}}, output variables following this pattern: - - - story*title*{{N}}_1, story_title_{{N}}\*2, etc. - - Each containing: user story, BDD acceptance criteria, prerequisites, technical notes - - epic*title*{{N}} - - - epic*goal*{{N}} - - For each story M in epic {{N}}, generate story content -

- No forward dependencies exist (only backward references) - - Story sizing is appropriate for single-session completion - - BDD acceptance criteria are clear and testable - - Details added (what was missing from PRD FRs: UI specifics, performance targets, etc.) - - Domain/compliance requirements are properly distributed - - Sequencing enables incremental value delivery - - **BMad Method Next Steps:** - - This epic breakdown is the INITIAL VERSION.

time estimates prohibition, progressive epic creation, and workflow simplification MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Key Changes ### 1. Time Estimate Prohibition (All Modules) - Added critical warnings against providing ANY time estimates (hours/days/weeks/months) - Acknowledges AI has fundamentally changed development speed - Applied to 33 workflow instruction files across BMB, BMGD, BMM, and CIS modules - Updated workflow creation guide with prohibition guidelines ### 2. Enhanced Epic Creation Workflow - Added intelligent UPDATE vs CREATE mode detection - Detects available context (UX, Architecture, Domain brief, Product brief) - Progressive enhancement: creates basic epics, then enriches with UX/Architecture - Living document approach with continuous updates - Added 305 lines of sophisticated workflow logic ### 3. Workflow Status Initialization Refactoring - Simplified from 893 to 318 lines (65% reduction) - Streamlined state detection: CLEAN, PLANNING, ACTIVE, LEGACY, UNCLEAR - Cleaner path selection and initialization logic - Removed redundant complexity while maintaining functionality ### 4. Workflow Path Updates - Updated all 4 workflow paths (enterprise/method × brownfield/greenfield) - Added multiple optional epic creation steps at different phases: - After PRD (basic structure) - After UX Design (with interaction context) - After Architecture (final with full context) - Changed PRD output description from "with epics and stories" to "with FRs and NFRs" ### 5. Architecture & Innovation Updates - Made epics input optional in architecture workflow (falls back to PRD FRs) - Updated innovation strategy phases to remove time-based language - Phases now: Immediate Impact → Foundation Building → Scale & Optimization ### Files Changed - 33 instruction files updated with time estimate prohibition - 2 workflow.yaml files updated (create-epics-and-stories, architecture) - 4 workflow path YAML files updated - 1 workflow creation guide enhanced This refactor significantly improves workflow intelligence, removes harmful time-based planning assumptions, and creates more adaptive, context-aware workflows that better leverage AI capabilities. --- .../workflows/create-agent/instructions.md | 1 + .../workflows/create-module/instructions.md | 1 + .../workflows/create-workflow/instructions.md | 1 + .../workflow-creation-guide.md | 21 + .../workflow-template/instructions.md | 2 + .../workflows/module-brief/instructions.md | 1 + .../brainstorm-game/instructions.md | 1 + .../game-brief/instructions.md | 1 + .../game-architecture/instructions.md | 1 + .../retrospective/instructions.md | 1 + .../brainstorm-project/instructions.md | 1 + .../domain-research/instructions.md | 1 + .../1-analysis/product-brief/instructions.md | 1 + .../create-epics-and-stories/instructions.md | 316 +++++- .../create-epics-and-stories/workflow.yaml | 10 + .../create-ux-design/instructions.md | 1 + .../2-plan-workflows/prd/instructions.md | 108 +- .../tech-spec/instructions.md | 1 + .../architecture/instructions.md | 151 ++- .../3-solutioning/architecture/workflow.yaml | 2 +- .../solutioning-gate-check/instructions.md | 1 + .../retrospective/instructions.md | 1 + .../workflow-status/init/instructions.md | 979 +++++------------- .../workflows/workflow-status/instructions.md | 1 + .../paths/enterprise-brownfield.yaml | 20 +- .../paths/enterprise-greenfield.yaml | 44 +- .../paths/method-brownfield.yaml | 20 +- .../paths/method-greenfield.yaml | 22 +- .../workflows/design-thinking/instructions.md | 1 + .../innovation-strategy/instructions.md | 7 +- .../workflows/innovation-strategy/template.md | 6 +- .../workflows/problem-solving/instructions.md | 1 + .../workflows/storytelling/instructions.md | 1 + 33 files changed, 839 insertions(+), 888 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/instructions.md b/src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/instructions.md index 158b6f9f..4cd9a243 100644 --- a/src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/instructions.md +++ b/src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/instructions.md @@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ Study YAML agent examples in: {example_agents_dir} for patterns Reference activation conventions from: {agent_activation_rules} Communicate in {communication_language} throughout the agent creation process +⚠️ ABSOLUTELY NO TIME ESTIMATES - NEVER mention hours, days, weeks, months, or ANY time-based predictions.
