This major enhancement revolutionizes the tech-spec workflow from a basic template-filling exercise into a context-aware, intelligent planning system for rapid development of bug fixes and small features.
## Tech-Spec Workflow Transformation (11 files)
### Core Workflow Intelligence (instructions.md)
- Add standalone mode with interactive level/field-type detection
- Implement brownfield convention detection and user confirmation
- Integrate WebSearch for current framework versions and starter templates
- Add comprehensive context discovery (stack, patterns, dependencies)
- Implement auto-validation with quality scoring (always runs)
- Add UX/UI considerations capture for user-facing changes
- Add test framework detection and pattern analysis
- Transform from batch generation to living document approach
### Comprehensive Tech-Spec Template (tech-spec-template.md)
- Expand from 8 to 23 sections for complete context
- Add Context section (available docs, project stack, existing structure)
- Add Development Context (conventions, test framework, existing code)
- Add UX/UI Considerations section
- Add Developer Resources (file paths, key locations, testing)
- Add Integration Points and Configuration Changes
- All sections populated via template-output tags during workflow
### Enhanced Story Generation
- Level 0 (instructions-level0-story.md): Extract from comprehensive tech-spec
- Level 1 (instructions-level1-stories.md): Add story sequence validation, AC quality checks
- User Story Template: Add Dev Agent Record sections for implementation tracking
- Epic Template: Complete rewrite with proper structure and variables
### Validation & Quality (checklist.md)
- Add context gathering completeness checks
- Add definitiveness validation (no "use X or Y" statements)
- Add brownfield integration quality scoring
- Add stack alignment verification
- Add implementation readiness assessment
- Auto-generates validation report with scores
### Configuration (workflow.yaml)
- Add runtime variables: project_level, project_type, development_context, change_type, field_type
- Enable standalone operation without workflow-status.yaml
- Support both workflow-init integration and quick-start mode
## Phase 4 Integration (3 files)
### Story Context Workflow
- Add tech_spec to input_file_patterns (recognizes as authoritative source)
- Update instructions to prioritize tech-spec for Level 0-1 projects
- Tech-spec provides brownfield analysis, framework details, existing patterns
### Create Story Workflow
- Add tech_spec to input_file_patterns
- Enable story generation from tech-spec (alternative to PRD)
- Supports both Quick Spec Flow and traditional BMM flow
## Documentation (2 new files)
### Quick Spec Flow Guide (docs/quick-spec-flow.md)
- Comprehensive 595-line guide for Level 0-1 rapid development
- Complete user journey examples (bug fix, small feature)
- Context discovery explanation (stack, brownfield, conventions)
- Auto-validation details and benefits
- Integration with Phase 4 workflows
- Comparison: Quick Spec vs Full BMM
- Real-world examples and best practices
### Scale Adaptive System (docs/scale-adaptive-system.md)
- Complete 950-line technical guide to BMad Method's 5-level system
- Key terminology: Analysis, Tech-Spec, Epic-Tech-Spec, Architecture
- Level 0-4 workflows, planning docs, and progression
- Brownfield emphasis: document-project required first
- Tech-spec (upfront, Level 0-1) vs epic-tech-spec (during implementation, Level 2-4)
- Architecture document replaces tech-spec at Level 2+ (scales with complexity)
- Retrospectives after each epic in multi-epic projects
- Workflow path configuration reference
### README Updates
- Add Quick Spec Flow announcement with benefits
- Link to Scale Adaptive System documentation
- Clarify when to use Quick Spec Flow vs Full BMM
## Key Features
### Context-Aware Intelligence
- Auto-detects project stack from package.json, requirements.txt, etc.
- Analyzes brownfield codebases using document-project output
- Detects code conventions and confirms with user before proceeding
- Uses WebSearch for up-to-date framework info and starter templates
### Brownfield Respect
- Detects existing patterns (code style, test framework, naming conventions)
- Asks user for confirmation before applying conventions
- Adapts to existing code vs forcing changes
- References document-project analysis for comprehensive context
### Auto-Validation
- Always runs (not optional)
- Validates context gathering, definitiveness, brownfield integration
- Scores tech-spec quality and implementation readiness
- Validates story sequence for Level 1 (no forward dependencies)
### Living Document Approach
- Write to tech-spec continuously during discovery
- Progressive refinement vs batch generation
- Template variables populated via template-output tags in real-time
## Breaking Changes
None - all changes are additive and backward compatible.
## Impact
This transformation enables:
- Bug fixes and small features implemented in minutes vs hours
- Automatic stack detection and brownfield analysis
- Respect for existing conventions and patterns
- Current best practices via WebSearch integration
- Comprehensive context that can replace story-context for simple efforts
- Seamless integration with Phase 4 implementation workflows
Quick Spec Flow now provides a **true fast path from idea to implementation** for Level 0-1 projects while maintaining quality through auto-validation and comprehensive context gathering.
