- Standardize all workflow descriptions to follow format: [short description]. Use when the user says 'explicit action phrase' or 'another phrase'
- Remove verbose descriptions in favor of concise summaries with explicit trigger phrases
- Use max 2 phrases per workflow to minimize context and false positives
- Phrases are explicit actions (e.g., "lets create", "run X") not questions
- No slash commands in descriptions - users invoke via /name directly
- Rename qa/automate to qa-generate-e2e-tests for clarity
- Update various core tasks and workflows
* fix: remove output_folder/story_dir aliases, flatten variables sections (#1602)
Drop pointless alias variables (output_folder, story_dir, story_directory)
from Phase 4, Quick Flow, and QA workflows. Replace all references with
the canonical {implementation_artifacts} or {planning_artifacts} variables.
Also flatten unnecessary `variables:` YAML nesting in all affected
workflow.yaml files — the workflow engine treats all keys as top-level,
so the nesting added complexity with no semantic value.

* fix: add missing config declarations, remove remaining aliases and dead variables
- Add missing document_output_language and user_skill_level to create-story
(referenced in instructions.xml but never declared)
- Remove retrospectives_folder alias, replace with canonical implementation_artifacts
- Remove unused sprint_status and duplicate validation alias from correct-course
- Remove unused date, planning_artifacts, tracking_system from sprint-status

* fix: address PR review findings and rename shadowed output_folder variable
- Fix single/double brace mismatch for {implementation_artifacts} in
create-story instructions.xml (F1)
- Remove escaped asterisks in glob patterns in retrospective
instructions.md (F2)
- Eliminate redundant {config_source} re-resolution for story_location
in sprint-planning workflow.yaml (F5)
- Add explicit instruction to discover previous_story_num by scanning
artifacts instead of leaving it undefined (#7)
- Rename output_folder to project_knowledge in document-project
workflows to stop shadowing the canonical core config variable (#13)

* fix: use plural retrospectives in previous retro search instructions
The glob pattern can match multiple retrospective files for the same
epic (e.g., partial mid-sprint retro and full completion retro). Use
plural "retrospectives" to make clear the LLM should load all matches.

* fix(bmm): add missing project-context references to workflows
correct-course, retrospective, and sprint-status workflows were missing
project_context entirely. quick-spec referenced it in step files but not
in the initialization sequence.

* fix(bmm): add explicit project-context load instructions to workflows
Add Load project_context if exists action to instruction files for
correct-course, retrospective, sprint-status, and sprint-planning.
The workflow.yaml declarations alone do not cause the file to be loaded;
the instruction files must explicitly reference it.
