+# BMM Tasks
+
+Reusable task definitions that agents can execute. Tasks are atomic units of work defined in XML format that follow a structured execution flow.
+
+## Available Tasks
+
+### Development & Sprint Management
+
+#### `development-status.xml`
+
+**Purpose:** View comprehensive real-time development progress across planning and implementation phases.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+/sm
+*development-status
+
+# Or from other agents
+/dev
+*development-status
+
+/pm
+*development-status
+```
+
+**What it shows:**
+- Planning phase status (PRD, Architecture, Epics existence)
+- Story breakdown by status (Draft/In Progress/Done/etc)
+- Task completion metrics
+- Current focus areas (stories in progress)
+- Blockers and items ready for review
+- Context-aware recommendations for next steps
+
+**When to use:**
+- Daily standup preparation
+- Sprint planning
+- Progress reporting to stakeholders
+- After completing work to verify status
+- Returning to project after time away
+
+**Available in agents:** SM (Scrum Master), DEV (Developer), PM (Product Manager)
+
+---
+
+#### `daily-standup.xml`
+
+**Purpose:** Run structured daily standup meetings with context from current stories.
+
+**What it does:**
+- Discovers current story status
+- Gathers team context
+- Facilitates structured standup discussion
+- Creates actionable summary
+
+**When to use:**
+- Start of each working day
+- Sprint checkpoint meetings
+
+---
+
+#### `retrospective.xml`
+
+**Purpose:** Facilitate team retrospective after completing an epic.
+
+**What it does:**
+- Reviews completed epic metrics
+- Gathers team feedback (What went well, What to improve)
+- Identifies lessons learned
+- Prepares for next epic
+- Creates action items
+
+**When to use:**
+- After completing all stories in an epic
+- Before starting next epic
+- Sprint/milestone completion
+
+---
+
+## Task Execution Model
+
+Tasks follow a structured XML format with these key sections:
+
+```xml
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Specific action to perform
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+## How Tasks Differ from Workflows
+
+| Aspect | Tasks | Workflows |
+|--------|-------|-----------|
+| **Format** | XML | YAML + Markdown |
+| **Scope** | Single focused operation | Multi-step process |
+| **Structure** | Linear flow of steps | Complex branching logic |
+| **Duration** | Quick (seconds to minutes) | Extended (minutes to hours) |
+| **State** | Stateless, read-only | May modify project files |
+| **Use Case** | Status checks, reports | Creating artifacts, implementation |
+
+**Examples:**
+- **Task:** View development status (read-only, quick)
+- **Workflow:** Create story (generates files, multi-step)
+
+## Integration with Agents
+
+Tasks are integrated into agent menus using the `exec` attribute:
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+ - trigger: development-status
+ exec: "{project-root}/bmad/bmm/tasks/development-status.xml"
+ description: View current development progress
+```
+
+## Creating New Tasks
+
+When creating a new task:
+
+1. **Use XML format** following the structure above
+2. **Define clear steps** in the `` section
+3. **Include validation** requirements
+4. **Add critical context** for LLM execution
+5. **Make it read-only** when possible (safer to run)
+6. **Test thoroughly** with different project states
+7. **Update agent menus** to expose the task
+8. **Document in this README**
+
+## Configuration Variables
+
+Tasks can reference project configuration:
+
+- `{project-root}` - Project root directory
+- `{output_folder}` - Planning documents and stories location (includes stories/ subdirectory)
+
+These are resolved at runtime from `bmad/bmm/config.yaml`.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Keep tasks atomic** - Each task should do one thing well
+2. **Design for reusability** - Tasks should work across different projects
+3. **Handle missing files gracefully** - Don't error, report status
+4. **Provide clear output** - Use formatting for readability
+5. **Include recommendations** - Help users know what to do next
+6. **Make them safe** - Prefer read-only operations
+7. **Test edge cases** - New projects, missing docs, malformed files

+ MANDATORY: Execute ALL steps in the flow section IN EXACT ORDER
+ DO NOT skip steps or change the sequence
+ This is a READ-ONLY task - do not modify any files
+ Each andlt;actionandgt; within andlt;stepandgt; is a REQUIRED action to complete that step
+ Handle missing files gracefully - report as "not found" not error
+
+
+
+
+ Check for {project-root}{output_folder}/project-brief.md
+ Check for {project-root}{output_folder}/PRD.md
+ Check for {project-root}{output_folder}/solution-architecture.md
+ Check for {project-root}{output_folder}/epics.md
+ Check for {project-root}{output_folder}/project-workflow-analysis.md
+ For each existing file, note last modified date
+ If project-workflow-analysis.md exists, extract: project level (0-4), type, context (greenfield/brownfield)
+ If epics.md exists, count total epics
+
+
+
+ List all files in {project-root}{output_folder}/stories/ matching pattern story-*.md
+ For each story file, extract:
+ - Story number (e.g., story-1.2.md = epic 1, story 2)
+ - Story title (first H1 heading after front matter)
+ - Status field (look for "Status: value" line)
+ - Total tasks (count all checkboxes: - [ ] and - [x] and - [X])
+ - Completed tasks (count only checked: - [x] or - [X])
+ - Last modified date from filesystem
+
+ Group stories by status: Draft, Approved, In Progress, Ready for Review, Done, Blocked
+ Count stories in each status category
+
+
+
+ Calculate total stories count
+ Calculate percentage for each status category
+ Calculate total tasks across all stories
+ Calculate completed tasks across all stories
+ Calculate task completion percentage
+ If epics.md exists, group stories by epic and calculate per-epic progress
+
+
+
+ List all stories with "Status: In Progress"
+ For each in-progress story, calculate task completion percentage
+ Calculate time since last modified (e.g., "2 days ago", "today")
+ List all stories with "Status: Blocked"
+ Scan blocked stories for blocker descriptions
+ List all stories with "Status: Ready for Review"
+ List all stories with "Status: Draft" or "Status: Approved" as ready to start
+
+
+
+ Analyze current state and generate context-aware next steps
+ If no PRD exists: recommend running plan-project workflow
+ If PRD exists but no epics: recommend creating epic breakdown
+ If epics exist but no stories: recommend running create-story workflow
+ If stories in progress: recommend continuing implementation
+ If stories ready for review: recommend running review-story workflow
+ If blocked stories: recommend resolving blockers or running correct-course
+ If all stories in epic done: recommend running retrospective workflow

+
+ All file paths must be resolved from config variables
+ Missing files are reported as "not found" not errors
+ Percentages are rounded to whole numbers
+ Story status parsing is case-insensitive
+ Task checkboxes support: - [ ], - [x], - [X]
+ Date calculations must be accurate
+
+
+
+ This task is completely READ-ONLY - never modify files
+ Safe to run at any time without side effects
+ Can be run by any agent to check progress
+ Output is formatted markdown suitable for copying to reports
+ If story directory doesn't exist, this is normal for new projects
+ Handle malformed story files gracefully - skip and continue
+
+
+
+ Location of planning documents and stories (PRD, epics, stories/)
+
+
+
+ Daily standup: Check progress at start of day
+ Sprint planning: Review completed work and plan next sprint
+ Stakeholder reporting: Generate progress summaries
+ Context recovery: Resume work after breaks
+ Before reviews: Check what's ready for review
+ Epic completion: Verify all stories done before retrospective
+
+
+
+ Run when ready to start next story
+ Run to continue implementation
+ Run when story is ready for review
+ Run when blockers identified
+ Run when epic complete
+ Run when no planning docs exist
+
+
+
+ Execute steps in exact order
+ Be thorough in file discovery and parsing
+ Format output clearly with appropriate emojis
+ Provide context-aware recommendations
+ Handle missing or malformed files gracefully
+ This is a status check tool - fast and non-invasive
