fix(quick-dev): add self-check gate for task completion tracking (#2104)
Adds a Self-Check subsection at the end of step-03 that forces the
implementing agent to verify all tasks are complete and mark checkboxes
before handing off to the review step.

docs(zh-cn): refine established project guides (#2096)
* docs(zh-cn): refine established project guides

clarify the boundary between new-project and established-project usage so zh-cn readers can choose the right workflow path.
align project context terminology and command references with current conventions while keeping guidance concise and executable.

* docs(zh-cn): fix project-context syntax and wording

我将 project-context 文档中的提示块语法统一回项目规范的 `:::...:::` 形式,避免与文档风格约定不一致。
我同时把“在不同用户故事(story)间决策不一致”调整为“之间决策不一致”,提升中文表达的自然度与可读性。

fix(docs): correct skill names in getting-started tutorials (#2103)
Agent skills referenced with shortened names (bmad-pm, bmad-architect,
etc.) that don't match installed skill names. Fixed to use actual names
(bmad-agent-pm, bmad-agent-architect, etc.) across EN, ZH-CN, and FR.
Also fixed bmad-research to three specific research skills (EN, FR) and
bmad-product-brief to bmad-create-product-brief (ZH-CN).

| 范围 | 推荐方法 |
| ------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **小型更新或添加** | 运行 `bmad-quick-dev` 在单个工作流中澄清意图、规划、实现和审查。完整的四阶段 BMad Method 可能有些过度。 |

| **重大变更或新增** | 从完整 BMad Method 开始,再按项目风险和协作需求调整流程严谨度。 |
### 在创建 PRD 期间
在创建简报或直接进入 PRD 时,确保智能体:
- 查找并分析你现有的项目文档
- 阅读关于你当前系统的适当上下文
- 读取与你当前系统匹配的项目上下文(project context)
你可以明确地指导智能体,但目标是确保新功能与你的现有系统良好集成。
你可以显式补充指令,但核心目标是让新功能与现有 architecture 和代码约束自然融合。
### UX 考量
UX 工作是可选的。决定不取决于你的项目是否有 UX,而取决于:
UX 工作是可选项。是否需要进入 UX 流程,不取决于“项目里有没有 UX”,而取决于:
- 你是否将处理 UX 变更
- 是否需要重要的新 UX 设计或模式
- 你是否真的在做 UX 层面的变更
- 是否需要新增重要的 UX 设计或交互模式
如果你的变更只是对你满意的现有屏幕进行简单更新,则不需要完整的 UX 流程。
如果本次只是对现有页面做小幅调整,通常不需要完整 UX 流程。
### 架构考量
### 架构考量(architecture)
在进行架构工作时,确保架构师:
- 使用适当的已记录文件
- 扫描现有代码库
- 使用正确且最新的文档输入
- 扫描并理解现有代码库
在此处要密切注意,以防止重新发明轮子或做出与你现有架构不一致的决定。
这一点非常关键:可避免“重复造轮子”,也能减少与现有架构冲突的设计决策。

**手动创建** — 当您确切知道要记录哪些规则时最佳
**手动创建** — 适合你已经明确知道要沉淀哪些规则
**架构后生成** — 最适合捕获解决方案制定过程中所做的决策
**架构后生成** — 适合把 solutioning 阶段形成的架构决策沉淀下来
**为现有项目生成** — 最适合在现有代码库中发现模式
**为既有项目生成** — 适合从现有代码库中自动发现团队约定与模式

## 关键实现规则
**TypeScript:**
- 启用严格模式,不使用 `any` 类型
- 公共 API 使用 `interface`,联合类型使用 `type`
- 开启严格模式,禁止使用 `any` 类型
- 对外 API 使用 `interface`,联合类型使用 `type`
**代码组织:**
- 组件位于 `/src/components/` 并附带同位置测试
- API 调用使用 `apiClient` 单例 — 绝不直接使用 fetch
- 组件放在 `/src/components/`,并与测试文件同目录(co-located)
- API 调用统一使用 `apiClient` 单例,不要直接使用 `fetch`
**测试:**
- 单元测试专注于业务逻辑
- 集成测试使用 MSW 进行 API 模拟
- 单元测试聚焦业务逻辑

### 选项 B:架构后生成
在新的聊天中运行工作流程:
在新的会话中运行:
```bash

## 提示
:::tip[关注非显而易见的内容]
记录智能体可能遗漏的模式,例如"在每个公共类、函数和变量上使用 JSDoc 风格注释",而不是像"使用有意义的变量名"这样的通用实践,因为 LLM 目前已经知道这些。
