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)

refactor: Major workflow enhancements - time estimates prohibition, progressive epic creation, and workflow simplification
...
## 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.

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
