 Internal guidelines for maintaining consistent, high-quality documentation across the BMad Method project. This document is not included in the Starlight sidebar — it's for contributors and maintainers, not end users.
 
@@ -54,6 +56,423 @@ Every tutorial should follow this structure:
 
 Not all sections are required for every tutorial, but this is the standard flow.
 
+## How-To Structure
+
+How-to guides are task-focused and shorter than tutorials. They answer "How do I do X?" for users who already understand the basics.
+
+```
+1. Title + Hook (one sentence: "Use the `X` workflow to...")
+2. When to Use This (bullet list of scenarios)
+3. When to Skip This (optional - for workflows that aren't always needed)
+4. Prerequisites (note admonition)
+5. Steps (numbered ### subsections)
+6. What You Get (output/artifacts produced)
+7. Example (optional - concrete usage scenario)
+8. Tips (optional - best practices, common pitfalls)
+9. Next Steps (optional - what to do after completion)
+```
+
+Include sections only when they add value. A simple how-to might only need Hook, Prerequisites, Steps, and What You Get.
+
+### How-To vs Tutorial
+
+| Aspect | How-To | Tutorial |
+|--------|--------|----------|
+| **Length** | 50-150 lines | 200-400 lines |
+| **Audience** | Users who know the basics | New users learning concepts |
+| **Focus** | Complete a specific task | Understand a workflow end-to-end |
+| **Sections** | 5-8 sections | 12-15 sections |
+| **Examples** | Brief, inline | Detailed, step-by-step |
+
+### How-To Visual Elements
+
+Use admonitions strategically in how-to guides:
+
+| Admonition | Use In How-To |
+|------------|---------------|
+| `:::note[Prerequisites]` | Required dependencies, agents, prior steps |
+| `:::tip[Pro Tip]` | Optional shortcuts or best practices |
+| `:::caution[Common Mistake]` | Pitfalls to avoid |
+| `:::note[Example]` | Brief usage example inline with steps |
+
+**Guidelines:**
+- **1-2 admonitions max** per how-to (they're shorter than tutorials)
+- **Prerequisites as admonition** makes scanning easier
+- **Tips section** can be a flat list instead of admonition if there are multiple tips
+- **Skip admonitions entirely** for very simple how-tos
+
+### How-To Checklist
+
+Before submitting a how-to:
+
+- [ ] Hook is one clear sentence starting with "Use the `X` workflow to..."
+- [ ] When to Use This has 3-5 bullet points
+- [ ] Prerequisites listed (admonition or flat list)
+- [ ] Steps are numbered `###` subsections with action verbs
+- [ ] What You Get describes output artifacts
+- [ ] No horizontal rules (`---`)
+- [ ] No `####` headers
+- [ ] No "Related" section (sidebar handles navigation)
+- [ ] 1-2 admonitions maximum
+
+## Explanation Structure
+
+Explanation documents help users understand concepts, features, and design decisions. They answer "What is X?" and "Why does X matter?" rather than "How do I do X?"
+
+### Types of Explanation Documents
+
+| Type | Purpose | Example |
+|------|---------|---------|
+| **Index/Landing** | Overview of a topic area with navigation | `core-concepts/index.md` |
+| **Concept** | Define and explain a core concept | `what-are-agents.md` |
+| **Feature** | Deep dive into a specific capability | `quick-flow.md` |
+| **Philosophy** | Explain design decisions and rationale | `why-solutioning-matters.md` |
+| **FAQ** | Answer common questions (see FAQ Sections below) | `brownfield-faq.md` |
+
+### General Explanation Structure
+
+```
+1. Title + Hook (1-2 sentences explaining the topic)
+2. Overview/Definition (what it is, why it matters)
+3. Key Concepts (### subsections for main ideas)
+4. Comparison Table (optional - when comparing options)
+5. When to Use / When Not to Use (optional - decision guidance)
+6. Diagram (optional - mermaid for processes/flows)
+7. Next Steps (optional - where to go from here)
+```
+
+### Index/Landing Pages
+
+Index pages orient users within a topic area.
+
+```
+1. Title + Hook (one sentence overview)
+2. Content Table (links with descriptions)
+3. Getting Started (numbered list for new users)
+4. Choose Your Path (optional - decision tree for different goals)
+```
+
+**Example hook:** "Understanding the fundamental building blocks of the BMad Method."
+
+### Concept Explainers
+
+Concept pages define and explain core ideas.
+
+```
+1. Title + Hook (what it is in one sentence)
+2. Types/Categories (if applicable, with ### subsections)
+3. Key Differences Table (comparing types/options)
+4. Components/Parts (breakdown of elements)
+5. Which Should You Use? (decision guidance)
+6. Creating/Customizing (brief pointer to how-to guides)
+```
+
+**Example hook:** "Agents are AI assistants that help you accomplish tasks. Each agent has a unique personality, specialized capabilities, and an interactive menu."
+
+### Feature Explainers
+
+Feature pages provide deep dives into specific capabilities.
+
+```
+1. Title + Hook (what the feature does)
+2. Quick Facts (optional - "Perfect for:", "Time to:")
+3. When to Use / When Not to Use (with bullet lists)
+4. How It Works (process overview, mermaid diagram if helpful)
+5. Key Benefits (what makes it valuable)
+6. Comparison Table (vs alternatives if applicable)
+7. When to Graduate/Upgrade (optional - when to use something else)
+```
+
+**Example hook:** "Quick Spec Flow is a streamlined alternative to the full BMad Method for Quick Flow track projects."
+
+### Philosophy/Rationale Documents
+
+Philosophy pages explain design decisions and reasoning.
+
+```
+1. Title + Hook (the principle or decision)
+2. The Problem (what issue this addresses)
+3. The Solution (how this approach solves it)
+4. Key Principles (### subsections for main ideas)
+5. Benefits (what users gain)
+6. When This Applies (scope of the principle)
+```
+
+**Example hook:** "Phase 3 (Solutioning) translates **what** to build (from Planning) into **how** to build it (technical design)."
+
+### Explanation Visual Elements
+
+Use these elements strategically in explanation documents:
+
+| Element | Use For |
+|---------|---------|
+| **Comparison tables** | Contrasting types, options, or approaches |
+| **Mermaid diagrams** | Process flows, phase sequences, decision trees |
+| **"Best for:" lists** | Quick decision guidance |
+| **Code examples** | Illustrating concepts (keep brief) |
+
+**Guidelines:**
+- **Use diagrams sparingly** — one mermaid diagram per document maximum
+- **Tables over prose** — for any comparison of 3+ items
+- **Avoid step-by-step instructions** — point to how-to guides instead
+
+### Explanation Checklist
+
+Before submitting an explanation document:
+
+- [ ] Hook clearly states what the document explains
+- [ ] Content organized into scannable `##` sections
+- [ ] Comparison tables used for contrasting options
+- [ ] No horizontal rules (`---`)
+- [ ] No `####` headers
+- [ ] No "Related" section (sidebar handles navigation)
+- [ ] No "Next:" navigation links (sidebar handles navigation)
+- [ ] Diagrams have clear labels and flow
+- [ ] Links to how-to guides for "how do I do this?" questions
+- [ ] 2-3 admonitions maximum
+
+## Reference Structure
+
+Reference documents provide quick lookup information for users who know what they're looking for. They answer "What are the options?" and "What does X do?" rather than explaining concepts or teaching skills.
+
+### Types of Reference Documents
+
+| Type | Purpose | Example |
+|------|---------|---------|
+| **Index/Landing** | Navigation to reference content | `workflows/index.md` |
+| **Catalog** | Quick-reference list of items | `agents/index.md` |
+| **Deep-Dive** | Detailed single-item reference | `document-project.md` |
+| **Configuration** | Settings and config documentation | `core-tasks.md` |
+| **Glossary** | Term definitions | `glossary/index.md` |
+| **Comprehensive** | Extensive multi-item reference | `bmgd-workflows.md` |
+
+### Reference Index Pages
+
+For navigation landing pages:
+
+```
+1. Title + Hook (one sentence describing scope)
+2. Content Sections (## for each category)
+   - Bullet list with links and brief descriptions
+```
+
+Keep these minimal — their job is navigation, not explanation.
+
+### Catalog Reference (Item Lists)
+
+For quick-reference lists of items:
+
+```
+1. Title + Hook (one sentence)
+2. Items (## for each item)
+   - Brief description (one sentence)
+   - **Commands:** or **Key Info:** as flat list
+3. Universal/Shared (## section if applicable)
+```
+
+**Guidelines:**
+- Use `##` for items, not `###`
+- No horizontal rules between items — whitespace is sufficient
+- No "Related" section — sidebar handles navigation
+- Keep descriptions to 1 sentence per item
+
+### Item Deep-Dive Reference
+
+For detailed single-item documentation:
+
+```
+1. Title + Hook (one sentence purpose)
+2. Quick Facts (optional note admonition)
+   - Module, Command, Input, Output as list
+3. Purpose/Overview (## section)
+4. How to Invoke (code block)
+5. Key Sections (## for each major aspect)
+   - Use ### for sub-options within sections
+6. Notes/Caveats (tip or caution admonition)
+```
+
+**Guidelines:**
+- Start with "quick facts" so readers immediately know scope
+- Use admonitions for important caveats
+- No "Related Documentation" section — sidebar handles this
+
+### Configuration Reference
+
+For settings, tasks, and config documentation:
+
+```
+1. Title + Hook (one sentence explaining what these configure)
+2. Table of Contents (jump links if 4+ items)
+3. Items (## for each config/task)
+   - **Bold summary** — one sentence describing what it does
+   - **Use it when:** bullet list of scenarios
+   - **How it works:** numbered steps
+   - **Output:** expected result (if applicable)
+```
+
+**Guidelines:**
+- Table of contents only needed for 4+ items
+- Keep "How it works" to 3-5 steps maximum
+- No horizontal rules between items
+
+### Glossary Reference
+
+For term definitions:
+
+```
+1. Title + Hook (one sentence)
+2. Navigation (jump links to categories)
+3. Categories (## for each category)
+   - Terms (### for each term)
+   - Definition (1-3 sentences, no prefix)
+   - Related context or example (optional)
+```
+
+**Guidelines:**
+- Group related terms into categories
+- Keep definitions concise — link to explanation docs for depth
+- Use `###` for terms (makes them linkable and scannable)
+- No horizontal rules between terms
+
+### Comprehensive Reference Guide
+
+For extensive multi-item references:
+
+```
+1. Title + Hook (one sentence)
+2. Overview (## section)
+   - Diagram or table showing organization
+3. Major Sections (## for each phase/category)
+   - Items (### for each item)
+   - Standardized fields: Command, Agent, Input, Output, Description
+   - Optional: Steps, Features, Use when
+4. Next Steps (optional — only if genuinely helpful)
+```
+
+**Guidelines:**
+- Standardize item fields across all items in the guide
+- Use tables for comparing multiple items at once
+- One diagram maximum per document
+- No horizontal rules — use `##` sections for separation
+
+### General Reference Guidelines
+
+These apply to all reference documents:
+
+| Do | Don't |
+|----|-------|
+| Use `##` for major sections, `###` for items within | Use `####` headers |
+| Use whitespace for separation | Use horizontal rules (`---`) |
+| Link to explanation docs for "why" | Explain concepts inline |
+| Use tables for structured data | Use nested lists |
+| Use admonitions for important notes | Use bold paragraphs for callouts |
+| Keep descriptions to 1-2 sentences | Write paragraphs of explanation |
+
+### Reference Admonitions
+
+Use sparingly — 1-2 maximum per reference document:
+
+| Admonition | Use In Reference |
+|------------|------------------|
+| `:::note[Prerequisites]` | Dependencies needed before using |
+| `:::tip[Pro Tip]` | Shortcuts or advanced usage |
+| `:::caution[Important]` | Critical caveats or warnings |
+
+### Reference Checklist
+
+Before submitting a reference document:
+
+- [ ] Hook clearly states what the document references
+- [ ] Appropriate structure for reference type (catalog, deep-dive, etc.)
+- [ ] No horizontal rules (`---`)
+- [ ] No `####` headers
+- [ ] No "Related" section (sidebar handles navigation)
+- [ ] Items use consistent structure throughout
+- [ ] Descriptions are 1-2 sentences maximum
+- [ ] Tables used for structured/comparative data
+- [ ] 1-2 admonitions maximum
+- [ ] Links to explanation docs for conceptual depth
+
+## Glossary Structure
+
+Glossaries provide quick-reference definitions for project terminology. Unlike other reference documents, glossaries prioritize compact scanability over narrative explanation.
+
+### Layout Strategy
+
+Starlight auto-generates a right-side "On this page" navigation from headers. Use this to your advantage:
+
+- **Categories as `##` headers** — Appear in right nav for quick jumping
+- **Terms in tables** — Compact rows, not individual headers
+- **No inline TOC** — Right sidebar handles navigation; inline TOC is redundant
+- **Right nav shows categories only** — Cleaner than listing every term
+
+This approach reduces content length by ~70% while improving navigation.
+
+### Table Format
+
+Each category uses a two-column table:
+
+```md
+## Category Name
+
+| Term | Definition |
+|------|------------|
+| **Agent** | Specialized AI persona with specific expertise that guides users through workflows. |
+| **Workflow** | Multi-step guided process that orchestrates AI agent activities to produce deliverables. |
+```
+
+### Definition Guidelines
+
+| Do | Don't |
+|----|-------|
+| Start with what it IS or DOES | Start with "This is..." or "A [term] is..." |
+| Keep to 1-2 sentences | Write multi-paragraph explanations |
+| Bold the term name in the cell | Use plain text for terms |
+| Link to docs for deep dives | Explain full concepts inline |
+
+### Context Markers
+
+For terms with limited scope, add italic context at the start of the definition:
+
+```md
+| **Tech-Spec** | *Quick Flow only.* Comprehensive technical plan for small changes. |
+| **PRD** | *BMad Method/Enterprise.* Product-level planning document with vision and goals. |
+```
+
+Standard markers:
+- `*Quick Flow only.*`
+- `*BMad Method/Enterprise.*`
+- `*Phase N.*`
+- `*BMGD.*`
+- `*Brownfield.*`
+
+### Cross-References
+
+Link related terms when helpful. Reference the category anchor since individual terms aren't headers:
+
+```md
+| **Tech-Spec** | *Quick Flow only.* Technical plan for small changes. See [PRD](#planning-documents). |
+```
+
+### Organization
+
+- **Alphabetize terms** within each category table
+- **Alphabetize categories** or order by logical progression (foundational → specific)
+- **No catch-all sections** — Every term belongs in a specific category
+
+### Glossary Checklist
+
+Before submitting glossary changes:
+
+- [ ] Terms in tables, not individual headers
+- [ ] Terms alphabetized within each category
+- [ ] No inline TOC (right nav handles navigation)
+- [ ] No horizontal rules (`---`)
+- [ ] Definitions are 1-2 sentences
+- [ ] Context markers italicized at definition start
+- [ ] Term names bolded in table cells
+- [ ] No "A [term] is..." definitions

+
+### Slash Command Reference
+
+| Command | Description | When to Use |
+|---------|-------------|-------------|
+| `/triage` | Main workflow - triage user-reported bugs | When new bugs are in bugs.md |
+| `/implement bug-NNN` | Implement a specific bug fix | After triage, routed for direct-fix |
+| `/implement feature-NNN` | Implement a feature request | After feature is triaged |
+| `/verify` | List all pending verification | After implementation, before closing |
+| `/verify bug-NNN` | Verify and close specific bug | After testing confirms fix works |
+| `/verify all` | Batch verify all pending items | Bulk close multiple fixes |

+## Appendix: Optional Extensions
+
+### In-App Bug Reporting API
+
+Optional integration for apps with built-in bug reporting UI:
+
+1. **User submits** via in-app modal → `POST /api/bug-reports`
+2. **Database stores** with `status: 'new'`
+3. **During /triage Step 2** (if [S]ync selected):
+   - `GET /api/bug-reports/pending` fetches new reports
+   - Formats as markdown, inserts to `# manual input`
+   - `POST /api/bug-reports/mark-synced` prevents re-fetch
+
+This is optional - manual entry to bugs.md works without any API.

 Workflows are like prompts on steroids. They harness the untapped power and control of LLMs through progressive disclosure—breaking complex tasks into focused steps that execute sequentially. Instead of random AI slop where you hope for the best, workflows give you repeatable, reliable, high-quality outputs.
 
 This guide explains what workflows are, why they're powerful, and how to think about designing them.

 Workflows transform AI from a tool that gives variable, unpredictable results into a reliable system for complex, multi-step processes. Through progressive disclosure, sequential execution, guided facilitation, and thoughtful design, workflows give you control and repeatability that ad-hoc prompting alone can't match.

+### Why does BMad use so many tokens?
+
+BMad is not always the most token efficient approach, and that's by design. The checkpoints, story files, and retrospectives keep you in the loop so you can apply taste, judgment, and accumulated context that no agent has. Fully automated coding loops optimize for code velocity; BMad optimizes for decision quality. If you're building something you'll maintain for years, where user experience matters, where architectural choices compound—that tradeoff pays for itself.

 ### Do I always need to run workflow-init?
 
 No, once you learn the flow you can go directly to workflows. However, workflow-init is helpful because it:

 ## Overview
 
 BMad provides two main customization approaches:
 
 ### Agent Customization
+
 Modify any agent's persona, name, capabilities, or menu items using `.customize.yaml` files in `_bmad/_config/agents/`. Your customizations persist through updates.
 
 ### Workflow Customization
+
 Replace or extend workflow steps to create tailored processes. (Coming soon)

-## How Sharding Works
-
-### Sharding Process
-
-1. **Tool Execution**: Run `npx @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser source.md destination/` - this is abstracted with the core shard-doc task which is installed as a slash command or manual task rule depending on your tools.
-2. **Section Extraction**: Tool splits by level 2 headings
-3. **File Creation**: Each section becomes a separate file
-4. **Index Generation**: `index.md` created with structure and descriptions
-
-### Workflow Discovery
-
-BMad workflows use a **dual discovery system**:
-
-1. **Try whole document first** - Look for `document-name.md`
-2. **Check for sharded version** - Look for `document-name/index.md`
-3. **Priority rule** - Whole document takes precedence if both exist - remove the whole document if you want the sharded to be used instead.

-## Content Types Overview
+## Steps
 
-BMad Core supports several categories of custom content:
+### 1. Prepare Your Custom Content
 
-- Custom Stand Alone Modules
+Your custom content needs a `module.yaml` file. Choose the appropriate structure:
-- Custom Add On Modules
-- Custom Global Modules
-- Custom Agents
-- Custom Workflows
 
-## Making Custom Content Installable
+**For a cohesive module** (agents and workflows that work together):
-
-### Custom Modules
-
-To create an installable custom module:
-
-1. **Folder Structure**
-   - Create a folder with a short, abbreviated name (e.g., `cis` for Creative Intelligence Suite)
-   - The folder name serves as the module code
-
-2. **Required File**
-   - Include a `module.yaml` file in the root folder (this drives questions for the final generated config.yaml at install target)
-
-3. **Folder Organization**
-   Follow these conventions for optimal compatibility:
 
 ```

+**For standalone items** (unrelated agents/workflows):
-   - `workflows/` - Workflow definitions
-   - Additional custom folders are supported but following conventions is recommended for agent and workflow discovery
-
-**Note:** Full documentation for global modules and add-on modules will be available as support is finalized.
-
-### Standalone Content (Agents, Workflows, Tasks, Tools, Templates, Prompts)
-
-For standalone content that isn't part of a cohesive module collection, follow this structure:
-
-1. **Module Configuration**
-   - Create a folder with a `module.yaml` file (similar to custom modules)
-   - Add the property `unitary: true` in the module.yaml
-     - The `unitary: true` property indicates this is a collection of potentially unrelated items that don't depend on each other
-   - Any content you add to this folder should still be nested under workflows and agents - but the key with stand alone content is they do not rely on each other.
-     - Agents do not reference other workflows even if stored in a unitary:true module. But unitary Agents can have their own workflows in their sidecar, or reference workflows as requirements from other modules - with a process known as workflow vendoring. Keep in mind, this will require that the workflow referenced from the other module would need to be available for the end user to install, so its recommended to only vendor workflows from the core module, or official bmm modules.
-
-2. **Folder Structure**
-   Organize content in specific named folders:
 
 ```

   module.yaml        # Contains unitary: true
-     agents/
-     workflows/
-     templates/
-     tools/
-     tasks/
-     prompts/
-   ```
-
-3. **Individual Item Organization**
-   Each item should have its own subfolder:
-   ```text
-   my-custom-stuff/
-     module.yaml
   agents/
     larry/larry.agent.md
     curly/curly.agent.md
-       moe/moe.agent.md
+  workflows/
-       moe/moe-sidecar/memories.csv
 ```
 
-**Future Feature:** Unitary modules will support selective installation, allowing users to pick and choose which specific items to install.
+Add `unitary: true` in your `module.yaml` to indicate items don't depend on each other.
 
-**Note:** Documentation explaining the distinctions between these content types and their specific use cases will be available soon.
+### 2. Run the Installer
 
-## Installation Process
+**New project:**
 
-### Prerequisites
+```bash
+npx bmad-method install
+```
 
-Ensure your content follows the proper conventions and includes a `module.yaml` file (only one per top-level folder).
+When prompted "Would you like to install a local custom module?", select 'y' and provide the path to your module folder.
 
-### New Project Installation
+**Existing project:**
 
-When setting up a new BMad project:

+| **Stand Alone Modules** | Complete modules with their own agents and workflows |
+| **Add On Modules** | Extensions that add to existing modules |
+| **Global Modules** | Content available across all modules |

+| **Custom Workflows** | Individual workflow definitions |
 
-1. Apply available updates to core modules
+For detailed information about content types, see [Custom Content Types](/docs/explanation/bmad-builder/custom-content-types.md).
-2. Recompile all agents with customizations from the `_config/agents` folder
-3. Retain your custom content from a cached location
-4. Preserve your existing configurations and customizations
 
-This means you don't need to keep the source module files locally. When updates are available, simply point to the updated module location during the update process.
+## Updating Custom Content
 
-## Important Considerations
+When BMad Core or module updates are available, the quick update process:
 
-### Module Naming Conflicts
+1. Applies updates to core modules
+2. Recompiles all agents with your customizations
+3. Retains your custom content from cache
+4. Preserves your configurations
 
-When installing unofficial modules, ensure unique identification to avoid conflicts:
+You don't need to keep source module files locally—just point to the updated location during updates.
 
-1. **Module Codes:** Each module must have a unique code (e.g., don't use `bmm` for custom modules)
+## Tips
-2. **Module Names:** Avoid using names that conflict with existing modules
-3. **Multiple Custom Modules:** If creating multiple custom modules, use distinct codes for each
 
-**Examples of conflicts to avoid:**
+- **Use unique module codes** — Don't use `bmm` or other existing module codes
+- **Avoid naming conflicts** — Each module needs a distinct code
+- **Document dependencies** — Note any modules your custom content requires
+- **Test in isolation** — Verify custom modules work before sharing
+- **Version your content** — Track updates with version numbers
 
-- Don't create a custom module with code `bmm` (already used by BMad Method)
+:::caution[Naming Conflicts]
-- Don't name multiple custom modules with the same code like `mca`
+Don't create custom modules with codes like `bmm` (already used by BMad Method). Each custom module needs a unique code.
+:::
 
-### Best Practices
+## Example Modules
 
-- Use descriptive, unique codes for your modules
+Find example custom modules in the `samples/sample-custom-modules/` folder of the [BMad repository](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD). Download either sample folder to try them out.
-- Document any dependencies your custom modules have
-- Test custom modules in isolation before sharing
-- Consider version numbering for your custom content to track updates

+description: Migrate from BMad v4 to v6
 ---
 
+Use the BMad installer to upgrade from v4 to v6, which includes automatic detection of legacy installations and migration assistance.
 
-## Overview
+## When to Use This
 
-The latest version of BMad represents a complete ground-up rewrite with significant architectural changes. This guide will help you migrate from version 4.
+- You have BMad v4 installed (`.bmad-method` folder)
+- You want to migrate to the new v6 architecture
+- You have existing planning artifacts to preserve
 
----
+:::note[Prerequisites]
+- Node.js 20+
+- Existing BMad v4 installation
+:::
 
-## Automatic V4 Detection
+## Steps
 
-When you run `npm run install:bmad` on a project, the installer automatically detects:
+### 1. Run the Installer
 
-- **Legacy v4 installation folder**: `.bmad-method`
+```bash
-- **IDE command artifacts**: Legacy bmad folders in IDE configuration directories (`.claude/commands/`, `.cursor/commands/`, etc.)
+npx bmad-method install
-
-### What Happens During Detection
-
-1. **Automatic Detection of v4 Modules**
-   1. Installer will suggest removal or backup of your .bmad-method folder. You can choose to exit the installer and handle this cleanup, or allow the install to continue. Technically you can have both v4 and v6 installed, but it is not recommended. All BMad content and modules will be installed under a .bmad folder, fully segregated.
-
-2. **IDE Command Cleanup Recommended**: Legacy v4 IDE commands should be manually removed
-   - Located in IDE config folders, for example claude: `.claude/commands/BMad/agents`, `.claude/commands/BMad/tasks`, etc.
-   - NOTE: if the upgrade and install of v6 finished, the new commands will be under `.claude/commands/bmad/<module>/agents|workflows`
-   - Note 2: If you accidentally delete the wrong/new bmad commands - you can easily restore them by rerunning the installer, and choose quick update option, and all will be reapplied properly.
-
-## Module Migration
-
-### Deprecated Modules from v4
-
-| v4 Module                     | v6 Status                                      |
-| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
-| `_bmad-2d-phaser-game-dev`    | Integrated into new BMGD Module                |
-| `_bmad-2d-unity-game-dev`     | Integrated into new BMGD Module                |
-| `_bmad-godot-game-dev`        | Integrated into new BMGD Module                |
-| `_bmad-*-game-dev` (any)      | Integrated into new BMGD Module                |
-| `_bmad-infrastructure-devops` | Deprecated - New core devops agent coming soon |
-| `_bmad-creative-writing`      | Not adapted - New v6 module coming soon        |
-
-Aside from .bmad-method - if you have any of these others installed also, again its recommended to remove them and use the V6 equivalents, but its also fine if you decide to keep both. But it is not recommended to use both on the same project long term.

+### 2. Handle Legacy Installation
 
-### Key Concept Changes
+When v4 is detected, you can:
 
-- **v4 `_bmad-core and _bmad-method`**: Was actually the BMad Method
+- Allow the installer to back up and remove `.bmad-method`
-- **v6 `_bmad/core/`**: Is the real universal core framework
+- Exit and handle cleanup manually
-- **v6 `_bmad/bmm/`**: Is the BMad Method module
+- Keep both (not recommended for same project)
-- **Module identification**: All modules now have a `config.yaml` file once installed at the root of the modules installed folder
 
-## Project Progress Migration
+### 3. Clean Up IDE Commands
 
-### If You've Completed Some or all Planning Phases (Brief/PRD/UX/Architecture) with the BMad Method:
+Manually remove legacy v4 IDE commands:
 
-After running the v6 installer, if you kept the paths the same as the installation suggested, you will need to move a few files, or run the installer again. It is recommended to stick with these defaults as it will be easier to adapt if things change in the future.
+- `.claude/commands/BMad/agents`
+- `.claude/commands/BMad/tasks`
 
-If you have any planning artifacts, put them in a folder called _bmad-output/planning-artifacts at the root of your project, ensuring that:
+New v6 commands will be at `.claude/commands/bmad/<module>/agents|workflows`.
-PRD has PRD in the file name or folder name if sharded.
-Similar for 'brief', 'architecture', 'ux-design'.
 
-If you have other long term docs that will not be as ephemeral as these project docs, you can put them in the /docs folder, ideally with a index.md file.
+:::tip[Accidentally Deleted Commands?]
+If you delete the wrong commands, rerun the installer and choose "quick update" to restore them.
+:::
 
-HIGHLY RECOMMENDED NOTE: If you are only partway through planning, its highly recommended to restart and do the PRD, UX and ARCHITECTURE steps. You could even use your existing documents as inputs letting the agent know you want to redo them with the new workflows. These optimized v6 progressive discovery workflows that also will utilize web search at key moments, while offering better advanced elicitation and part mode in the IDE will produce superior results. And then once all are complete, an epics with stories is generated after the architecture step now - ensuring it uses input from all planing documents.
+### 4. Migrate Planning Artifacts
 
-### If You're Mid-Development (Stories Created/Implemented)
+**If you have planning documents (Brief/PRD/UX/Architecture):**
 
-1. Complete the v6 installation as above
+Move them to `_bmad-output/planning-artifacts/` with descriptive names:
-2. Ensure you have a file called epics.md or epics/epic*.md - these need to be located under the _bmad-output/planning-artifacts folder.
-3. Run the scrum masters `sprint-planning` workflow to generate the implementation tracking plan in _bmad-output/implementation-artifacts.
-4. Inform the SM after the output is complete which epics and stories were completed already and should be parked properly in the file.
 
-## Agent Customization Migration
+- Include `PRD` in filename for PRD documents
+- Include `brief`, `architecture`, or `ux-design` accordingly
+- Sharded documents can be in named subfolders
 
-### v4 Agent Customization
+**If you're mid-planning:** Consider restarting with v6 workflows. Use your existing documents as inputs—the new progressive discovery workflows with web search and IDE plan mode produce better results.
 
-In v4, you may have modified agent files directly in `_bmad-*` folders.
+### 5. Migrate In-Progress Development
 
-### v6 Agent Customization
+If you have stories created or implemented:
 
-**All customizations** now go in `_bmad/_config/agents/` using customize files:
+1. Complete the v6 installation
+2. Place `epics.md` or `epics/epic*.md` in `_bmad-output/planning-artifacts/`
+3. Run the Scrum Master's `sprint-planning` workflow
+4. Tell the SM which epics/stories are already complete
 
-**Example: Renaming an agent and changing communication style**
+### 6. Migrate Agent Customizations
 
-File: `_bmad/_config/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml`
+**v4:** Modified agent files directly in `_bmad-*` folders
+
+**v6:** All customizations go in `_bmad/_config/agents/` using customize files:
 
 ```yaml
-# Customize the PM agent
+# _bmad/_config/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml
 persona:
-  name: 'Captain Jack' # Override agent name
+  name: 'Captain Jack'
   role: 'Swashbuckling Product Owner'
   communication_style: |
     - Talk like a pirate
-    - Use nautical metaphors for software concepts
+    - Use nautical metaphors
-    - Always upbeat and adventurous
 ```
 
-There is a lot more that is possible with agent customization, which is covered in detail in the [Agent Customization Guide](/docs/how-to/customization/customize-agents.md)
+After modifying customization files, rerun the installer and choose "rebuild all agents" or "quick update".
 
-CRITICAL NOTE: After you modify the customization file, you need to run the npx installer against your installed location, and choose the option to rebuild all agents, or just do a quick update again. This always builds agents fresh and applies customizations.
+## What You Get
 
-**How it works:**
+**v6 unified structure:**

-## Document Compatibility
+## Module Migration
 
-### Sharded vs Unsharded Documents
+| v4 Module | v6 Status |
+|-----------|-----------|
+| `_bmad-2d-phaser-game-dev` | Integrated into BMGD Module |
+| `_bmad-2d-unity-game-dev` | Integrated into BMGD Module |
+| `_bmad-godot-game-dev` | Integrated into BMGD Module |
+| `_bmad-infrastructure-devops` | Deprecated — new DevOps agent coming soon |
+| `_bmad-creative-writing` | Not adapted — new v6 module coming soon |
 
-**Good news**: Unlike v4, v6 workflows are **fully flexible** with document structure:
+## Key Changes
 
-- ✅ Sharded documents (split into multiple files)
+| Concept | v4 | v6 |
-- ✅ Unsharded documents (single file per section)
+|---------|----|----|
-- ✅ Custom sections for your project type
+| **Core** | `_bmad-core` was actually BMad Method | `_bmad/core/` is universal framework |
-- ✅ Mixed approaches
+| **Method** | `_bmad-method` | `_bmad/bmm/` |
+| **Config** | Modified files directly | `config.yaml` per module |
+| **Documents** | Sharded or unsharded required setup | Fully flexible, auto-scanned |
 
-All workflow files are scanned automatically. No manual configuration needed.
+## Tips
+
+- **Back up first** — Keep your v4 installation until you verify v6 works
+- **Use v6 workflows** — Even partial planning docs benefit from v6's improved discovery
+- **Rebuild after customizing** — Always run the installer after changing customize files

+## Tips
 
-## Tips for Success
+- **Timebox prototypes** — Set a limit (e.g., 2 hours). If it's not working, step back
-
+- **Embrace programmer art** — Focus on feel, not visuals
-### 1. Timebox Prototypes
+- **Test on target hardware** — What feels right on dev machine might not on target
-
+- **Document learnings** — Even failed prototypes teach something
-Set a limit (e.g., 2 hours) for prototyping. If it's not working by then, step back and reconsider.
+- **Know when to graduate** — If quick-dev keeps expanding scope, create proper stories
-
-### 2. Embrace Programmer Art
-
-Prototypes don't need to look good. Focus on feel, not visuals.
-
-### 3. Test on Target Hardware
-
-What feels right on your dev machine might not feel right on target platform.
-
-### 4. Document Learnings
-
-Even failed prototypes teach something. Note what you learned.
-
-### 5. Know When to Graduate
-
-If quick-dev keeps expanding scope, stop and create proper stories.

+Configuration values defined in the Core Module that all other modules inherit by default.
 
-The Core Modules module.yaml file defines configuration values that are useful and unique for all other modules to utilize, and by default all other modules installed will clone the values defined in the core module yaml.config into their own. It is possible for other modules to override these values, but the general intent it to accept the core module values and define their own values as needed, or extend the core values.
+## Core Config Values
 
-Currently, the core module.yaml config will define (asking the user upon installation, and recording to the core module config.yaml):
+These values are set during installation and recorded to the core `module.yaml`:
-- `user_name`: string (defaults to the system defined user name)
-- `communication_language`: string (defaults to english)
-- `document_output_language`: string (defaults to english)
-- `output_folder`: string (default `_bmad-output`)
 
-An example of extending one of these values, in the BMad Method module.yaml it defines a planning_artifacts config, which will default to `default: "{output_folder}/planning-artifacts"` thus whatever the output_folder will be, this extended versions default will use the value from this core module and append a new folder onto it. The user can choose to replace this without utilizing the output_folder from the core if they so chose.
+| Config Key | Default | Description |
+|------------|---------|-------------|
+| `user_name` | System username | User's display name |
+| `communication_language` | `english` | Language for agent communication |
+| `document_output_language` | `english` | Language for generated documents |
+| `output_folder` | `_bmad-output` | Directory for workflow outputs |
+
+## Inheritance Behavior
+
+All installed modules automatically clone these values into their own config. Modules can:
+
+- **Accept defaults** — Use core values as-is (recommended)
+- **Override values** — Replace with module-specific settings
+- **Extend values** — Build on core values with additional paths
+
+:::tip[Extending Config]
+Use `{output_folder}` to reference the core value. Example: BMad Method defines `planning_artifacts` as `{output_folder}/planning-artifacts`, automatically inheriting whatever output folder the user configured.

-### Sprint Planning
-
-Workflow that initializes Phase 4 implementation by creating sprint-status.yaml, extracting all epics/stories from planning docs, and setting up tracking infrastructure.
-
-### Sprint
-
-Time-boxed period of development work, typically 1-2 weeks.
-
-### Gate Check
-
-Validation workflow (implementation-readiness) run before Phase 4 to ensure PRD + Architecture + Epics + UX (optional) are aligned with no gaps or contradictions. Required for BMad Method and Enterprise Method tracks.
-
-### DoD (Definition of Done)
-
-Criteria that must be met before marking a story as done. Typically includes: implementation complete, tests written and passing, code reviewed, documentation updated, and acceptance criteria validated.
-
-### Shard / Sharding
-
-**For runtime LLM optimization only (NOT human docs).** Splitting large planning documents (PRD, epics, architecture) into smaller section-based files to improve workflow efficiency. Phase 1-3 workflows load entire sharded documents transparently. Phase 4 workflows selectively load only needed sections for massive token savings.

-
-Specific locations where new code connects with existing systems. Must be documented explicitly in brownfield tech-specs and architectures.
-
-### Context Engineering
-
-Loading domain-specific standards and patterns into AI context automatically, rather than relying on prompts alone. In TEA, this means the `tea-index.csv` manifest loads relevant knowledge fragments so the AI doesn't relearn testing patterns each session. This approach ensures consistent, production-ready outputs regardless of prompt variation.
-
-### Convention Detection
-
-Quick Spec Flow feature that automatically detects existing code style, naming conventions, patterns, and frameworks from brownfield codebases, then asks user to confirm before proceeding.

+# In-App Bug Reporting - Reference Implementation
+
+This document provides a reference implementation for adding **in-app bug reporting** to your project. The BMAD bug-tracking workflow works without this feature (using manual `bugs.md` input), but in-app reporting provides a better user experience.
+
+## Overview
+
+The in-app bug reporting feature allows users to submit bug reports directly from your application. Reports are stored in your database and then synced to `bugs.md` by the triage workflow.
+
+```
+User -> UI Modal -> API -> Database -> Triage Workflow -> bugs.md/bugs.yaml
+```
+
+## Components Required
+
+| Component | Purpose | Stack-Specific |
+|-----------|---------|----------------|
+| Database table | Store pending bug reports | Yes |
+| API: Create report | Accept user submissions | Yes |
+| API: Get pending | Fetch unsynced reports | Yes |
+| API: Mark synced | Update status after sync | Yes |
+| UI Modal | Bug report form | Yes |
+| Validation schemas | Input validation | Partially |
+

+}
+```
+
+## 5. Workflow Configuration
+
+Update your project's `.bmad/bmm/config.yaml` to set the `project_url`:
+
+```yaml
+# .bmad/bmm/config.yaml
+
+project_url: "http://localhost:5173"  # Dev
+# project_url: "https://your-app.com"  # Prod
+```
+
+The triage workflow will use this to call your API endpoints.
+
+## 6. API Response Format
+
+The workflow expects these response formats:
+
+### GET /api/bug-reports/pending
+
+```json
+{
+  "data": {
+    "reports": [
+      {
+        "id": "uuid",
+        "title": "Bug title",
+        "description": "Bug description",
+        "reporterType": "staff",
+        "reporterName": "John Doe",
+        "platform": "macOS",
+        "browser": "Chrome",
+        "pageUrl": "https://...",
+        "screenshotUrl": "https://...",
+        "createdAt": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z"
+      }
+    ],
+    "count": 1
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### POST /api/bug-reports/mark-synced
+
+Request:
+```json
+{ "ids": ["uuid1", "uuid2"] }
+```
+
+Response:
+```json
+{
+  "data": {
+    "updatedCount": 2,
+    "updatedIds": ["uuid1", "uuid2"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## 7. Optional: Screenshot Storage
+
+For screenshot uploads, you'll need cloud storage (R2, S3, etc.):
+
+1. Create an upload endpoint: `POST /api/bug-reports/[id]/upload-screenshot`
+2. Upload to cloud storage
+3. Update `screenshotUrl` on the bug report record
+
+## 8. Security Considerations
+
+- **Authentication**: Create endpoint should require auth
+- **API Key**: Consider adding API key auth for pending/mark-synced endpoints in production
+- **Rate Limiting**: Add rate limits to prevent spam
+- **Input Sanitization**: Validate all user input (handled by Zod schemas)
+
+## Without In-App Reporting
+
+If you don't implement in-app reporting, the workflow still works:
+
+1. Users manually add bugs to `docs/bugs.md` under `# manual input`
+2. Run `/triage` to process them
+3. Workflow skips Step 0 (API sync) when no API is available
+
+The workflows are designed to be flexible and work with or without the in-app feature.

+# Step 1: Bug Tracking Workflow Initialization
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete triage
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
+- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative triage between peers
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not an automatic processor
+- 💬 FOCUS on initialization and setup only - don't look ahead to future steps
+- 🚪 DETECT existing workflow state and handle continuation properly
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
+- 💾 Initialize bugs.yaml if needed
+- 📖 Track workflow state for potential continuation
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until setup is complete
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Variables from workflow.md are available in memory
+- bugs.yaml tracks all structured bug metadata
+- bugs.md is the user-facing input file
+- Don't assume knowledge from other steps
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Initialize the Bug Tracking workflow by detecting existing state, discovering input files, and setting up for collaborative triage.
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Check for Existing Session
+
+First, check workflow state:
+
+- Look for existing `{bugs_output}` (bugs.yaml)
+- If exists, grep for bugs with `status: triaged` (pending implementation)
+- Check `{bugs_input}` (bugs.md) for items in "# manual input" section
+
+### 2. Handle Continuation (If Pending Work Exists)
+
+If bugs.yaml exists with triaged bugs awaiting action:
+
+- **STOP here** and load `./step-01b-continue.md` immediately
+- Do not proceed with fresh initialization
+- Let step-01b handle the continuation logic
+
+### 3. Fresh Workflow Setup (If No Pending Work)
+
+If no bugs.yaml exists OR no pending triaged bugs:
+
+#### A. Input File Discovery
+
+Discover and validate required files:
+
+**Required Files:**
+- `{bugs_input}` (bugs.md) - User-facing bug reports
+  - Must have "# manual input" section for new bugs
+  - May have "# Tracked Bugs" and "# Fixed Bugs" sections
+
+**Optional Context Files:**
+- `{sprint_status}` - Current sprint context (which stories are in progress)
+- `{epics_file}` - For mapping bugs to related stories/epics
+
+#### B. Initialize bugs.yaml (If Not Exists)
+
+If bugs.yaml doesn't exist, create it with header structure:
+
+```yaml
+# Bug Tracking Database
+# Generated by bug-tracking workflow
+# Last updated: {date}
+
+# Severity Definitions:
+# - critical: Prevents core functionality, crashes, data loss
+# - high: Blocks major features, significantly degrades UX
+# - medium: Affects subset of users, minor impact with workaround
+# - low: Cosmetic, edge case, or minor inconvenience
+
+# Complexity Definitions:
+# - trivial: One-line fix, obvious solution
+# - small: Single file/component, solution clear
+# - medium: Multiple files OR requires investigation
+# - complex: Architectural change, affects many areas
+
+# Workflow Routing Matrix:
+# - critical + any → correct-course
+# - high + trivial → direct-fix
+# - high + small → tech-spec
+# - high + medium/complex → correct-course
+# - medium + trivial → direct-fix
+# - medium + small → tech-spec
+# - medium + medium/complex → correct-course
+# - low + trivial → direct-fix
+# - low + small/medium/complex → backlog
+
+bugs: []
+features: []
+closed_bugs: []
+
+statistics:
+  total_active: 0
+  by_severity:
+    critical: 0
+    high: 0
+    medium: 0
+    low: 0
+  last_updated: {date}
+```
+
+#### C. Scan for New Bugs
+
+Read ONLY the "# manual input" section from bugs.md:
+- Grep for "# manual input" to find starting line
+- Grep for next section header to find ending line
+- Read just that range (do NOT read entire file)
+
+Count items found in manual input section.
+
+#### D. Complete Initialization and Report
+
+Report to user:
+
+"Welcome {user_name}! I've initialized the Bug Tracking workspace for {project_name}.
+
+**Files Status:**
+- bugs.md: {found/created} - {count} item(s) in manual input section
+- bugs.yaml: {found/created} - {active_count} active bugs tracked
+

+
+## CONTINUATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Load Current State
+
+Read bugs.yaml and extract:
+- Total active bugs count
+- Bugs by status (triaged, implemented, verified)
+- Bugs by severity breakdown
+- Bugs by recommended workflow
+
+### 2. Check for New Input

+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
+- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative triage between peers
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not an automatic processor
+- 🔍 This step PARSES input only - triage happens in next step
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Parse manual input section thoroughly
+- 💾 Compare against existing bugs.yaml entries
+- 📖 Extract all available information from informal reports
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to start triage in this step - parsing only
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Variables from workflow.md are available in memory
+- bugs.yaml contains existing triaged bugs
+- Only parse "# manual input" section of bugs.md
+- Do NOT read entire bugs.md file
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Parse the "# manual input" section of bugs.md, extract bug information, and identify which items need triage.
+
+## PARSE SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Read Manual Input Section
+
+Section-based reading of bugs.md:
+- Grep for "# manual input" to find starting line number
+- Grep for next section header ("# Tracked Bugs", "# Tracked Feature Requests", "# Fixed Bugs") to find ending line
+- Read just that range using offset/limit (do NOT read entire file)
+- If no closing section found within initial window, expand read range and retry
+
+### 2. Search Existing IDs in bugs.yaml
+
+Do NOT read entire bugs.yaml file:
+- Grep for `id: bug-[0-9]+` pattern to find all existing bug IDs
+- Grep for `id: feature-[0-9]+` pattern to find all existing feature IDs
+- This enables duplicate detection and next-ID generation
+
+### 3. Parse Bug Reports
+
+Expected formats in manual input (informal, user-written):
+
+**Format A: Markdown Headers**
+```markdown
+## Bug: Title Here
+
+Description text, possibly multi-paragraph.
+
+Reported by: Name
+Date: YYYY-MM-DD
+Related: Story 2.7
+Platform: iOS
+```
+
+**Format B: Bullet Lists**
+```markdown
+- **Title (Platform)**: Description text. CRITICAL if urgent.
+```
+
+**Format C: Numbered Lists**
+```markdown
+1. Title - Description text
+2. Another bug - More description
+```
+
+### 4. Extract Information
+
+For each bug report, extract:
+
+| Field | Required | Notes |
+|-------|----------|-------|
+| Title | Yes | First line or header |
+| Description | Yes | May be multi-paragraph |
+| Reported by | No | Extract if mentioned |
+| Date | No | Extract if mentioned |
+| Related story | No | e.g., "2-7", "Story 2.7" |
+| Platform | No | iOS, Android, web, all |
+| Reproduction steps | No | If provided |
+| Severity hints | No | "CRITICAL", "urgent", etc. |
+
+### 5. Categorize Items
+
+Compare extracted bugs with existing bugs.yaml:
+
+- **New bugs**: Not in bugs.yaml yet (need full triage)
+- **Updated bugs**: In bugs.yaml but description changed (need re-triage)
+- **Feature requests**: Items that are enhancements, not bugs
+- **Unchanged**: Already triaged, skip
+
+### 6. Handle No New Bugs
+
+If NO new bugs found:
+
+"No new bugs found in the manual input section.
+
+All items have already been triaged and are tracked in bugs.yaml.
+
+**Options:**
+1. Add new bugs to docs/bugs.md (informal format)
+2. View bugs.yaml to see structured bug tracking
+3. Route existing triaged bugs to workflows

+- 🎯 Triage ONE bug at a time with user confirmation
+- 💾 Track triage decisions for bugs.yaml update
+- 📖 Ask clarifying questions when severity/complexity unclear
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to auto-triage without user review
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Parsed bugs from step-03 are in memory
+- Reference bugs.yaml header for severity/complexity definitions
+- Reference epics.md for story mapping
+- Each bug gets full triage analysis
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Perform collaborative triage analysis on each parsed bug, assessing severity, complexity, effort, workflow routing, and documentation impact.
+
+## TRIAGE SEQUENCE (FOR EACH BUG):
+
+### 1. Generate Bug ID
+
+- Find highest existing bug-NNN from step-03 grep results
+- Assign next sequential ID (e.g., bug-006)
+- Format: `bug-` + zero-padded 3-digit number
+- For features: `feature-` + zero-padded 3-digit number
+
+### 2. Assess Severity
+
+**Severity Levels:**
+| Level | Criteria |
+|-------|----------|
+| critical | Prevents core functionality, crashes, data loss |
+| high | Blocks major features, significantly degrades UX but has workaround |
+| medium | Affects subset of users, minor impact |
+| low | Cosmetic, edge case, minor inconvenience |
+
+**Analysis Questions:**
+- Does it prevent core functionality? → critical
+- Does it cause crashes or data loss? → critical
+- Does it block major features? → high
+- Does it significantly degrade UX but have workaround? → high
+- Does it affect subset of users with minor impact? → medium
+- Is it cosmetic or edge case? → low
+
+**If Unclear - ASK:**
+"**Clarification needed for: {bug_title}**
+
+I need more information to assess severity:
+1. Does this bug prevent users from completing core flows?
+2. Does the bug cause crashes or data loss?
+3. How many users are affected? (all users, specific platform, edge case)
+4. Is there a workaround available?
+
+Please provide additional context."
+
+### 3. Assess Complexity
+
+**Complexity Levels:**
+| Level | Criteria |
+|-------|----------|
+| trivial | One-line fix, obvious solution |
+| small | Single file/component, solution clear |
+| medium | Multiple files OR requires investigation |
+| complex | Architectural change, affects many areas |
+
+**If Unclear - ASK:**
+"**Clarification needed for: {bug_title}**
+
+To estimate complexity, I need:
+1. Have you identified the root cause, or does it need investigation?
+2. Which file(s) or component(s) are affected?
+3. Is this isolated or does it affect multiple parts of the app?
+
+Please provide technical details if available."
+
+### 4. Determine Workflow Routing
+
+**Routing Matrix:**
+| Severity | Complexity | Workflow |
+|----------|------------|----------|
+| critical | any | correct-course |
+| high | trivial | direct-fix |
+| high | small | tech-spec |
+| high | medium/complex | correct-course |
+| medium | trivial | direct-fix |
+| medium | small | tech-spec |
+| medium | medium/complex | correct-course |
+| low | trivial | direct-fix |
+| low | small+ | backlog |
+
+### 5. Map to Related Story/Epic
+
+- If bug mentions story ID (e.g., "2-7"), use that
+- Otherwise, infer from description using epic keywords
+- Reference epics.md for story matching
+- Format: `{epic_number}-{story_number}` or null
+
+### 6. Determine Affected Platform
+
+Extract from description:
+- `all` - Default if not specified
+- `ios` - iOS only
+- `android` - Android only
+- `web` - Web only
+
+### 7. Assess Documentation Impact
+
+**PRD Impact** (`doc_impact.prd: true/false`)
+Set TRUE if issue:
+- Conflicts with stated product goals
+- Requires changing MVP scope
+- Adds/removes/modifies core functionality
+- Changes success metrics
+- Affects multiple epics
+
+**Architecture Impact** (`doc_impact.architecture: true/false`)
+Set TRUE if issue:
+- Requires new system components
+- Changes data model (new tables, schema)
+- Affects API contracts
+- Introduces new dependencies
+- Changes auth/security model
+
+**UX Impact** (`doc_impact.ux: true/false`)
+Set TRUE if issue:
+- Adds new screens or navigation
+- Changes existing user flows
+- Requires new UI components
+- Affects accessibility
+
+**If any doc_impact is TRUE AND workflow != correct-course:**
+- Override workflow to `correct-course`
+- Add note: "Workflow elevated due to documentation impact"
+
+### 8. Add Triage Notes
+
+Document reasoning:
+- Why this severity? (business impact, user impact)
+- Why this complexity? (investigation needed, files affected)
+- Why this workflow? (routing logic applied)
+- Suggested next steps or investigation areas
+
+### 9. Present Triage for Confirmation
+
+"**Triage: {bug_id} - {bug_title}**

+**Documentation Impact:**
+- PRD: {yes/no}
+- Architecture: {yes/no}
+- UX: {yes/no}
+
+**Triage Notes:**

+
+[A] Accept triage
+[M] Modify - adjust severity/complexity/workflow
+[S] Skip - don't triage this item now
+[N] Next bug (after accepting)"
+
+### 10. Handle Modifications
+
+If user selects [M]:
+- Ask which field to modify
+- Accept new value
+- Re-present triage for confirmation
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS:
+
+✅ Each bug triaged with user confirmation
+✅ Unclear items prompted for clarification

+# Step 6: Triage Complete - Summary and Next Steps
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action
+- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative triage between peers
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not an automatic processor
+- 🎉 This is the FINAL step - present comprehensive summary
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Present comprehensive triage summary
+- 💾 All data already written in step-05
+- 📖 Guide user to next actions
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to modify files in this step
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- All triage decisions finalized in previous steps
+- bugs.yaml and bugs.md already updated
+- This step is READ-ONLY presentation
+- Focus on actionable next steps
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Present a comprehensive summary of the triage session and guide the user to appropriate next actions based on workflow recommendations.
+
+## COMPLETION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Present Triage Summary
+
+"**Bug Triage Complete, {user_name}!**
+

+
+**Triage Reasoning:**
+{triage_notes}

+
+## Updated Files
+
+- **bugs.yaml** - Structured metadata for all triaged items
+- **bugs.md** - Moved triaged items to Tracked sections

+{if any doc_impact flagged:}
+
+## Documentation Updates Required
+
+Items with documentation impact have been routed to `correct-course` workflow:
+- PRD Impact: {prd_impact_count} item(s)
+- Architecture Impact: {arch_impact_count} item(s)
+- UX Impact: {ux_impact_count} item(s)
+{end if}
+
+---
+
+## Workflow Recommendations
+
+### Direct Fix ({direct_fix_count} items)
+Quick fixes with obvious solutions. No spec needed.
+
+**Command:** `/implement bug-NNN`
+
+{list bug IDs for direct-fix}
+
+### Tech-Spec ({tech_spec_count} items)
+Require technical specification before implementation.
+
+**Process:** Create tech-spec first, then `/implement`
+
+{list bug IDs for tech-spec}
+
+### Correct-Course ({correct_course_count} items)
+Need impact analysis before proceeding.
+
+**Process:** Run correct-course workflow for impact analysis
+
+{list bug IDs for correct-course}
+
+### Backlog ({backlog_count} items)
+Deferred - low priority items for future consideration.
+
+{list bug IDs for backlog}
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**To implement a bug fix:**
+```
+/implement bug-NNN
+```
+
+**To verify after testing:**
+```
+/verify bug-NNN
+```
+
+**To verify all implemented bugs:**
+```
+/verify
+```
+
+**To list bugs by platform:**
+```
+/list-bugs android
+/list-bugs ios
+```

+
+Thank you for completing the triage session!"
+
+### 2. End Workflow
+
+The workflow is complete. No further steps.
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS:
+
+✅ Comprehensive summary presented
+✅ All triaged items listed with metadata
+✅ Statistics accurately displayed
+✅ Workflow recommendations clear
+✅ Next step commands provided
+✅ User knows how to proceed
+
+## FAILURE MODES:
+
+❌ Incomplete summary missing items
+❌ Statistics not matching bugs.yaml
+❌ Unclear next step guidance
+❌ Modifying files in this step (should be read-only)
+
+## WORKFLOW COMPLETE
+
+This is the final step. The bug tracking triage workflow is complete.
+
+User can now:
+- Run `/implement bug-NNN` to fix bugs
+- Run `/verify` to verify implemented bugs
+- Add new bugs to bugs.md and run triage again

+
+# Bug Tracking Workflow
+
+**Goal:** Transform informal bug reports into structured, actionable metadata with severity assessment, complexity estimation, and workflow routing recommendations.
+
+**Your Role:** You are a triage facilitator collaborating with a peer. This is a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship. You bring structured analysis and triage methodology, while the user brings domain expertise and context about their product. Work together to efficiently categorize and route bugs for resolution.
+
+---
+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+This uses **micro-file architecture** for disciplined execution:
+
+- Each step is a self-contained file with embedded rules
+- Sequential progression with user control at each step
+- State tracked via bugs.yaml metadata
+- Append-only updates to bugs.md (move triaged items, never delete)
+- You NEVER proceed to a step file if the current step file indicates the user must approve and indicate continuation.
+
+---
+
+## INITIALIZATION
+
+### Configuration Loading
+
+Load config from `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` and resolve:
+
+- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `user_name`
+- `communication_language`, `date` as system-generated current datetime
+- `dev_ephemeral_location` for sprint-status.yaml location
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Paths
+
+- `installed_path` = `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/bug-tracking`
+- `bugs_input` = `{output_folder}/bugs.md` (user-facing bug reports)
+- `bugs_output` = `{output_folder}/bugs.yaml` (agent-facing structured metadata)
+- `sprint_status` = `{dev_ephemeral_location}/sprint-status.yaml`
+- `epics_file` = `{output_folder}/epics.md`
+
+### Optional API Integration
+
+- `project_url` = configurable base URL for in-app bug report sync (default: `http://localhost:5173`)
+- See `reference-implementation.md` for in-app bug reporting setup
+
+---
+
+## EXECUTION
+
+Load and execute `steps/step-01-init.md` to begin the workflow.

+## Usage
+
+```
+/implement bug-026
+/implement feature-021
+```
+
+## Key Principles
+
+1. **Auto-detect Type** - ID format determines bug vs feature handling
+2. **Context First** - Always read and present details before implementing
+3. **Confirm Approach** - Validate planned approach with user before coding
+4. **Minimal Changes** - Only implement what's needed, no scope creep
+5. **Dual Tracking** - ALWAYS update both bugs.yaml AND bugs.md
+6. **[IMPLEMENTED] Tag** - Indicates complete but awaiting verification

+## Reference: Bug Tracking Definitions
+
+### Severity Levels
+
+| Level | Description | Action |
+|-------|-------------|--------|
+| **critical** | Blocks core functionality, prevents app use, or causes data loss (crashes, auth broken, data corruption) | Fix immediately, may require hotfix |
+| **high** | Major feature broken, significant UX degradation, workaround exists but painful (platform-specific failure, 5+ sec delays, accessibility blocker) | Fix in current/next sprint |
+| **medium** | Feature partially broken, UX degraded but usable (minor feature broken, unclear errors, 1-3 sec delays) | Fix when capacity allows |
+| **low** | Minor issue, cosmetic, edge case (typos, spacing, visual glitches) | Fix opportunistically or defer |
+
+### Complexity Levels
+
+| Level | Description | Effort |
+|-------|-------------|--------|
+| **trivial** | Obvious fix, single line change, no investigation needed (typo, missing semicolon, wrong color) | < 30 minutes |
+| **small** | Single file/component, clear root cause, solution known (missing validation, incorrect prop, logic error) | 30 min - 2 hours |
+| **medium** | Multiple files affected OR investigation required (spans 2-3 components, debugging needed, integration issue) | 2-8 hours |
+| **complex** | Architectural issue, affects multiple stories, requires design changes (race conditions, refactoring, profiling) | 8+ hours (1-2 days) |
+
+### Workflow Routing Matrix
+
+| Severity | Complexity | Workflow | Rationale |
+|----------|------------|----------|-----------|
+| critical | any | correct-course -> urgent | Need impact analysis even if small fix |
+| high | trivial | direct-fix (urgent) | Fast path for obvious important fix |
+| high | small | tech-spec (urgent) | Fast path with minimal overhead |
+| high | medium+ | correct-course -> story | Need proper analysis + testing |
+| medium | trivial | direct-fix | Too small for workflow overhead |
+| medium | small | tech-spec | Isolated fix needs spec |
+| medium | medium+ | correct-course -> story | Multi-file change needs story |
+| low | trivial | direct-fix (defer) | Fix opportunistically |
+| low | small+ | backlog (defer) | Document but don't schedule yet |
+
+### Status Flow
+
+```
+reported -> triaged -> routed -> in-progress -> fixed -> verified -> closed
+```
+
+| Status | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| **reported** | Bug logged in bugs.md, not yet analyzed |
+| **triaged** | PM analyzed, assigned severity/complexity/workflow |
+| **routed** | Workflow determined, story/tech-spec created |
+| **in-progress** | Developer actively working on fix |
+| **fixed** | Code changed, tests passing, ready for verification |
+| **verified** | Bug confirmed fixed by reporter or QA |
+| **closed** | Bug resolved and verified, no further action |
+
+### Metadata Fields
+
+| Field | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| id | Unique identifier (bug-NNN or feature-NNN) |
+| title | Short description (< 80 chars) |
+| description | Detailed explanation |
+| severity | critical \| high \| medium \| low |
+| complexity | trivial \| small \| medium \| complex |
+| status | Current workflow state |
+| recommended_workflow | direct-fix \| tech-spec \| correct-course \| backlog |
+| effort_estimate | Hours (based on complexity) |
+| reported_by / reported_date | Who found it and when |
+| triaged_by / triaged_date | Who triaged and when |
+| fixed_date / verified_date | Implementation and verification dates |
+| related_story / related_epic | Context links |
+| affected_platform | all \| ios \| android |
+| doc_impact | Documentation impact: prd, architecture, ux flags + notes |
+| notes | Investigation notes, decisions, implementation details |

+## Usage
+
+```
+/verify                  # List all pending verification
+/verify bug-026          # Verify specific bug

+## Status Transitions
+
+| Type | Before | After |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| Bug | status: "fixed", [IMPLEMENTED] | status: "closed", CLOSED |
+| Feature | status: "implemented", [IMPLEMENTED] | status: "closed", COMPLETE |
+
+## Key Principles
+
+1. **Verification Gate** - User must confirm item was tested and works
+2. **Failure Handling** - If verification fails, add note and keep in implemented state
+3. **Batch Support** - Can verify multiple items at once
+4. **Dual Tracking** - ALWAYS update both bugs.yaml AND bugs.md
+5. **Proper Closure** - Removes [IMPLEMENTED] tag, adds final CLOSED/COMPLETE status
