refactor: Major v6 epic creation improvements and documentation overhaul
...
## Key Changes
### 1. Epic Creation Workflow Enhancements
- Added user-value focused epic structure principles (NO technical layer breakdown)
- Implemented multi-mode detection: CONTINUE, REPLACE, or UPDATE existing epics
- Added comprehensive anti-pattern examples showing wrong vs right epic breakdown
- Epics now created AFTER architecture for technically-informed story breakdown
- Added checkpoint protocol for interactive workflow progression
### 2. Removed Deprecated Solutioning Gate Check
- Deleted entire solutioning-gate-check workflow (682 lines)
- Replaced by new implementation-readiness workflow
- Cleaner separation of concerns in solutioning phase
### 3. PRD Template Simplification
- Removed hardcoded "Implementation Planning", "References", and "Next Steps" sections
- PRD now focuses purely on requirements, not workflow orchestration
- Epics/stories created as separate step after architecture
### 4. Documentation Overhaul (15+ docs updated)
- Updated quick-start guide with v6 workflow sequence
- Clarified that epics are created AFTER architecture, not during PRD
- Updated solutioning docs to reflect implementation-readiness pattern
- Improved agents-guide, brownfield-guide, enterprise docs
- Enhanced glossary, FAQ, and workflow reference documentation
### 5. Workflow Path Adjustments
- All 4 paths updated (enterprise/method × brownfield/greenfield)
- Version bumps across BMGD, BMM, and CIS workflow YAMLs
- Minor instruction file updates for consistency
### Files Changed
- 65 files total: 468 insertions, 978 deletions (net reduction of 510 lines)
- 4 files deleted (entire solutioning-gate-check workflow)
- 1 new directory added (implementation-readiness placeholder)

feat(workflows): Implement intelligent file discovery protocol and Phase 4 BMGD workflows
...
## Core Workflow Engine Enhancements
### discover_inputs Protocol (MAJOR)
- 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 <invoke-protocol name="discover_inputs" /> 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 <invoke-protocol name="discover_inputs" /> step in instructions.md
3. Replacing manual file loading with references to {pattern_name_content} variables

feat: Extract BMGD module and implement workflow vendoring
...
This commit extracts game development functionality from BMM into a standalone
BMGD (BMad Game Development) module and implements workflow vendoring to enable
module independence.
BMGD Module Creation:
- Moved agents: game-designer, game-dev, game-architect from BMM to BMGD
- Moved team config: team-gamedev
- Created new Game Dev Scrum Master agent using workflow vendoring pattern
- Reorganized workflows into industry-standard game dev phases:
* Phase 1 (Preproduction): brainstorm-game, game-brief
* Phase 2 (Design): gdd, narrative
* Phase 3 (Technical): game-architecture
* Phase 4 (Production): vendored from BMM workflows
- Updated all module metadata and config_source references
Workflow Vendoring Feature:
- Enables modules to copy workflows from other modules during installation
- Build-time process that updates config_source in vendored workflows
- New agent YAML attribute: workflow-install (build-time metadata)
- Final compiled agents use workflow-install value for workflow attribute
- Implementation in module manager: vendorCrossModuleWorkflows()
- Allows standalone module installation without forced dependencies
Technical Changes:
- tools/cli/lib/yaml-xml-builder.js: Use workflow-install for workflow attribute
- tools/cli/installers/lib/modules/manager.js: Add vendoring functions
- tools/schema/agent.js: Add workflow-install to menu item schema
- Updated 3 documentation files with workflow vendoring details
BMM Workflow Updates:
- workflow-status/init: Added game detection checkpoint
- workflow-status/paths/game-design.yaml: Redirect to BMGD module
- prd/instructions.md: Route game projects to BMGD
- research/instructions-market.md: Reference BMGD for game development
Documentation:
- Created comprehensive BMGD module README
- Added workflow vendoring documentation
- Updated BMB agent creation and module creation guides
