Merge branch 'main' into fix/1399-orphan-market-research-steps

The getting-started tutorial referenced agents and workflows by name
(e.g., "Load the PM agent", "Run the prd workflow") without providing
the actual commands to type. This adds the exact slash commands inline
alongside the existing prose so new users know precisely what to run.

+---
+
+# GitHub Issue Triage with AI Analysis
+
+**CRITICAL RULES:**
+- NEVER include time or effort estimates in output or recommendations
+- Focus on WHAT needs to be done, not HOW LONG it takes
+- Use Bash tool with gh CLI for all GitHub operations
+
+## Execution Plan
+
+You will perform GitHub issue triage using AI agents for deep analysis:
+
+### Step 1: Fetch Issues
+Use `gh issue list` to fetch all open issues from the current repository in JSON format.
+
+### Step 2: Batch Creation
+Split issues into batches of ~10 issues each for parallel analysis.
+
+### Step 3: Parallel Agent Analysis
+For EACH batch, use the Task tool with `subagent_type=general-purpose` to launch an agent with this prompt:
+
+```
+You are analyzing a batch of GitHub issues for deep understanding and triage.
+
+**YOUR TASK:**
+Read the issues in your batch and provide DEEP analysis:
+
+1. **For EACH issue, analyze:**
+   - What is this ACTUALLY about? (beyond keywords)
+   - What component/system does it affect?
+   - What's the impact and severity?
+   - Is it a bug, feature request, or something else?
+   - What specific theme does it belong to?
+
+2. **PRIORITY ASSESSMENT:**
+   - CRITICAL: Blocks users, security issues, data loss, broken installers
+   - HIGH: Major functionality broken, important features missing
+   - MEDIUM: Workarounds available, minor bugs, nice-to-have features
+   - LOW: Edge cases, cosmetic issues, questions
+
+3. **RELATIONSHIPS:**
+   - Duplicates: Near-identical issues about the same problem
+   - Related: Issues connected by theme or root cause
+   - Dependencies: One issue blocks or requires another
+
+**YOUR BATCH:**
+[Paste the batch of issues here - each with number, title, body, labels]
+
+**OUTPUT FORMAT (JSON only, no markdown):**
+{
+  "issues": [
+    {
+      "number": 123,
+      "title": "issue title",
+      "deep_understanding": "2-3 sentences explaining what this is really about",
+      "affected_components": ["installer", "workflows", "docs"],
+      "issue_type": "bug/feature/question/tech-debt",
+      "priority": "CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW",
+      "priority_rationale": "Why this priority level",
+      "theme": "installation/workflow/integration/docs/ide-support/etc",
+      "relationships": {
+        "duplicates_of": [456],
+        "related_to": [789, 101],
+        "blocks": [111]
+      }
+    }
+  ],
+  "cross_repo_issues": [
+    {"number": 123, "target_repo": "bmad-builder", "reason": "about agent builder"}
+  ],
+  "cleanup_candidates": [
+    {"number": 456, "reason": "v4-related/outdated/duplicate"}
+  ],
+  "themes_found": {
+    "Installation Blockers": {
+      "count": 5,
+      "root_cause": "Common pattern if identifiable"
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+Return ONLY valid JSON. No explanations outside the JSON structure.
+```
+
+### Step 4: Consolidate & Generate Report
+After all agents complete, create a comprehensive markdown report saved to `_bmad-output/triage-reports/triage-YYYY-MM-DD.md` with:
+
+## Report Structure
+
+### Executive Summary
+- Total issues analyzed
+- Issue count by priority (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW)
+- Major themes discovered
+- Top 5 critical issues requiring immediate attention
+
+### Critical Issues (CRITICAL Priority)
+For each CRITICAL issue:
+- **#123 - [Issue Title](url)**
+- **What it's about:** [Deep understanding]
+- **Affected:** [Components]
+- **Why Critical:** [Rationale]
+- **Suggested Action:** [Specific action]
+
+### High Priority Issues (HIGH Priority)
+Same format as Critical, grouped by theme.
+
+### Theme Clusters
+For each major theme:
+- **Theme Name** (N issues)
+- **What connects these:** [Pattern]
+- **Root cause:** [If identifiable]
+- **Consolidated actions:** [Bulk actions if applicable]
+- **Issues:** #123, #456, #789
+
+### Relationships & Dependencies
+- **Duplicates:** List pairs with `gh issue close` commands
+- **Related Issues:** Groups of related issues
+- **Dependencies:** Blocking relationships
+
+### Cross-Repo Issues
+Issues that should be migrated to other repositories (bmad-builder, bmad-module-creative-intelligence-suite, bmad-module-game-dev-studio, bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise).
+
+For each, provide:
+```
+gh issue close XXX --repo CURRENT_REPO --comment "This issue belongs in REPO. Please report at https://github.com/TARGET_REPO/issues/new"
+```
+
+### Cleanup Candidates
+- **v4-related:** Deprecated version issues with close commands
+- **Stale:** No activity >30 days
+- **Low priority + old:** Low priority issues >60 days old
+
+### Actionable Next Steps
+Specific, prioritized actions:
+1. [CRITICAL] Fix broken installer - affects all new users
+2. [HIGH] Resolve Windows path escaping issues
+3. [HIGH] Address workflow integration bugs
+etc.
+
+Include `gh` commands where applicable for bulk actions.

+How to create tech specs and execute implementations with Quick Flow.
+
+## Choosing a Workflow
+
+| Situation | Workflow | Command |
+|-----------|----------|---------|
+| Need to document before implementing | Quick-Spec | `/bmad-gds-quick-spec` |
+| Multiple approaches to evaluate | Quick-Spec | `/bmad-gds-quick-spec` |
+| Have a completed tech-spec | Quick-Dev | `/bmad-gds-quick-dev path/to/spec.md` |
+| Have clear, direct instructions | Quick-Dev | `/bmad-gds-quick-dev` |
+| Building complete game system | Full GDS | `/bmad-gds-workflow-init` |
+| Epic-level features | Full GDS | `/bmad-gds-workflow-init` |
+
+---
+
+## How to Create a Tech Spec (Quick-Spec)
+
+### Step 1: Start the workflow
+
+```bash
+/bmad-gds-quick-spec
+```
+
+### Step 2: Describe your requirement
+
+Provide your feature request. The agent scans the codebase and asks clarifying questions.
+
+**Checkpoint options:**
+- `[a]` Advanced Elicitation - explore requirements deeper
+- `[c]` Continue to investigation
+- `[p]` Party Mode - consult expert agents
+
+### Step 3: Review investigation findings
+
+The agent analyzes the codebase for patterns, constraints, and similar implementations. Review the findings.
+
+**Checkpoint options:**
+- `[c]` Continue to spec generation
+- `[p]` Party Mode - get technical review
+
+### Step 4: Review generated spec
+
+The agent creates an ordered task list with file paths and acceptance criteria. Verify completeness.
+
+**Checkpoint options:**
+- `[c]` Continue to final review
+- `[p]` Party Mode - technical review
+
+### Step 5: Finalize
+
+Confirm the spec meets these standards:
+- Every task has a file path and specific action
+- Tasks ordered by dependency
+- Acceptance criteria in Given/When/Then format
+- No placeholders or TBD sections
+
+**Options:**
+- `[d]` Start Quick-Dev immediately
+- `[done]` Save spec and exit
+
+**Output:** `{planning_artifacts}/tech-spec-{slug}.md`
+
+---
+
+## How to Execute Implementation (Quick-Dev)
+
+### With a Tech-Spec
+
+```bash
+/bmad-gds-quick-dev path/to/tech-spec-feature.md
+```
+
+The agent:
+1. Captures baseline git commit
+2. Loads and validates the spec
+3. Executes tasks in order
+4. Runs self-check
+5. Performs adversarial review
+6. Resolves findings
+7. Validates against acceptance criteria
+
+### With Direct Instructions
+
+```bash
+/bmad-gds-quick-dev
+```
+
+Then describe what you want implemented:
+1. Captures baseline git commit
+2. Evaluates complexity (may suggest planning)
+3. Gathers context from codebase
+4. Executes implementation
+5. Runs self-check and adversarial review
+6. Resolves findings
+
+**Escalation:** If the agent detects complexity (multiple components, system-level scope, uncertainty), it offers:
+- `[t]` Create tech-spec first
+- `[w]` Use full GDS workflow
+- `[e]` Execute anyway
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Spec has placeholders or TBD sections
+
+Return to investigation step. Complete missing research, inline all findings, re-run review.
+
+### Workflow lost context mid-step
+
+Check frontmatter for `stepsCompleted`. Resume from last completed step.
+
+### Agent suggested planning but you want to execute
+
+You can override with `[e]`, but document your assumptions. Escalation heuristics exist because planning saves time on complex tasks.
+
+### Tests failing after implementation
+
+Return to the resolve-findings step. Review failures, fix issues, ensure test expectations are correct, re-run full suite.
+
+### Need help
+
+```bash
+/bmad-help
+```
+
+---
+
+## Reference
+
+### File Locations
+
+| File | Location |
+|------|----------|
+| Work in progress | `{implementation_artifacts}/tech-spec-wip.md` |
+| Completed specs | `{planning_artifacts}/tech-spec-{slug}.md` |
+| Archived specs | `{implementation_artifacts}/tech-spec-{slug}-archived-{date}.md` |
+| Workflow files | `_bmad/gds/workflows/gds-quick-flow/` |
+
+### Validation Criteria
+
+**Self-check (before adversarial review):**
+- All tasks/instructions completed
+- Tests written and passing
+- Follows existing patterns
+- No obvious bugs
+- Acceptance criteria met
+- Code is readable
+
+**Adversarial review:**
+- Correctness
+- Security
+- Performance
+- Maintainability
+- Test coverage
+- Error handling

+# Step 1: Context Discovery & Initialization
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative discovery between technical peers
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- 💬 FOCUS on discovering existing project context and technology stack
+- 🎯 IDENTIFY critical implementation rules that AI agents need
+- ⚠️ ABSOLUTELY NO TIME ESTIMATES - AI development speed has fundamentally changed
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
+- 📖 Read existing project files to understand current context
+- 💾 Initialize document and update frontmatter
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until discovery is complete
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Variables from workflow.md are available in memory
+- Focus on existing project files and architecture decisions
+- Look for patterns, conventions, and unique requirements
+- Prioritize rules that prevent implementation mistakes
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Discover the project's technology stack, existing patterns, and critical implementation rules that AI agents must follow when writing code.
+
+## DISCOVERY SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Check for Existing Project Context
+
+First, check if project context already exists:
+
+- Look for file at `{project_knowledge}/project-context.md or {project-root}/**/project-context.md`
+- If exists: Read complete file to understand existing rules
+- Present to user: "Found existing project context with {number_of_sections} sections. Would you like to update this or create a new one?"
+
+### 2. Discover Project Technology Stack
+
+Load and analyze project files to identify technologies:
+
+**Architecture Document:**
+
+- Look for `{planning_artifacts}/architecture.md`
+- Extract technology choices with specific versions
+- Note architectural decisions that affect implementation
+
+**Package Files:**
+
+- Check for `package.json`, `requirements.txt`, `Cargo.toml`, etc.
+- Extract exact versions of all dependencies
+- Note development vs production dependencies
+
+**Configuration Files:**
+
+- Look for project language specific configs ( example: `tsconfig.json`)
+- Build tool configs (webpack, vite, next.config.js, etc.)
+- Linting and formatting configs (.eslintrc, .prettierrc, etc.)
+- Testing configurations (jest.config.js, vitest.config.ts, etc.)
+
+### 3. Identify Existing Code Patterns
+
+Search through existing codebase for patterns:
+
+**Naming Conventions:**
+
+- File naming patterns (PascalCase, kebab-case, etc.)
+- Component/function naming conventions
+- Variable naming patterns
+- Test file naming patterns
+
+**Code Organization:**
+
+- How components are structured
+- Where utilities and helpers are placed
+- How services are organized
+- Test organization patterns
+
+**Documentation Patterns:**
+
+- Comment styles and conventions
+- Documentation requirements
+- README and API doc patterns
+
+### 4. Extract Critical Implementation Rules
+
+Look for rules that AI agents might miss:
+
+**Language-Specific Rules:**
+
+- TypeScript strict mode requirements
+- Import/export conventions
+- Async/await vs Promise usage patterns
+- Error handling patterns specific to the language
+
+**Framework-Specific Rules:**
+
+- React hooks usage patterns
+- API route conventions
+- Middleware usage patterns
+- State management patterns
+
+**Testing Rules:**
+
+- Test structure requirements
+- Mock usage conventions
+- Integration vs unit test boundaries
+- Coverage requirements
+
+**Development Workflow Rules:**
+
+- Branch naming conventions
+- Commit message patterns
+- PR review requirements
+- Deployment procedures
+
+### 5. Initialize Project Context Document
+
+Based on discovery, create or update the context document:
+
+#### A. Fresh Document Setup (if no existing context)
+
+Copy template from `{installed_path}/project-context-template.md` to `{output_folder}/project-context.md`
+Initialize frontmatter fields.
+
+#### B. Existing Document Update
+
+Load existing context and prepare for updates
+Set frontmatter `sections_completed` to track what will be updated
+
+### 6. Present Discovery Summary
+
+Report findings to user:
+
+"Welcome {{user_name}}! I've analyzed your project for {{project_name}} to discover the context that AI agents need.
+
+**Technology Stack Discovered:**
+{{list_of_technologies_with_versions}}
+
+**Existing Patterns Found:**
+
+- {{number_of_patterns}} implementation patterns
+- {{number_of_conventions}} coding conventions
+- {{number_of_rules}} critical rules
+
+**Key Areas for Context Rules:**
+
+- {{area_1}} (e.g., TypeScript configuration)
+- {{area_2}} (e.g., Testing patterns)
+- {{area_3}} (e.g., Code organization)
+
+{if_existing_context}
+**Existing Context:** Found {{sections}} sections already defined. We can update or add to these.
+{/if_existing_context}
+
+Ready to create/update your project context. This will help AI agents implement code consistently with your project's standards.
+
+[C] Continue to context generation"
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS:
+
+✅ Existing project context properly detected and handled
+✅ Technology stack accurately identified with versions
+✅ Critical implementation patterns discovered
+✅ Project context document properly initialized
+✅ Discovery findings clearly presented to user
+✅ User ready to proceed with context generation
+
+## FAILURE MODES:
+
+❌ Not checking for existing project context before creating new one
+❌ Missing critical technology versions or configurations
+❌ Overlooking important coding patterns or conventions
+❌ Not initializing frontmatter properly
+❌ Not presenting clear discovery summary to user
+
+## NEXT STEP:
+
+After user selects [C] to continue, load `./step-02-generate.md` to collaboratively generate the specific project context rules.
+
+Remember: Do NOT proceed to step-02 until user explicitly selects [C] from the menu and discovery is confirmed and the initial file has been written as directed in this discovery step!

+{{friendly_description_of_tech_stack}}
+
+**Important Notes:**
+{{key_things_agents_need_to_know_about_versions}}
+
+Should I document any special version rules or compatibility requirements?"
+
+### 2. Language-Specific Rules
+
+Focus on unobvious language patterns agents might miss:
+
+**TypeScript/JavaScript Rules:**
+"Based on your codebase, I notice some specific patterns:
+
+**Configuration Requirements:**
+{{typescript_config_rules}}
+
+**Import/Export Patterns:**
+{{import_export_conventions}}
+
+**Error Handling Patterns:**
+{{error_handling_requirements}}
+
+Are these patterns correct? Any other language-specific rules agents should follow?"
+
+**Python/Ruby/Other Language Rules:**
+Adapt to the actual language in use with similar focused questions.
+
+### 3. Framework-Specific Rules

+
+**Test Organization:**
+{{test_file_organization}}
+
+**Mock Usage:**
+{{mock_patterns_and_conventions}}
+
+**Test Coverage Requirements:**
+{{coverage_expectations}}
+
+**Integration vs Unit Test Rules:**
+{{test_boundary_patterns}}
+
+Are there testing rules agents should always follow?"
+
+### 5. Code Quality & Style Rules
+
+Document critical style and quality rules:
+
+**Linting/Formatting:**
+"Your code style configuration requires:
+
+**ESLint/Prettier Rules:**
+{{specific_linting_rules}}
+
+**Code Organization:**
+{{file_and_folder_structure_rules}}
+
+**Naming Conventions:**
+{{naming_patterns_agents_must_follow}}
+
+**Documentation Requirements:**

+
+Should I document any other workflow rules?"
+
+### 7. Critical Don't-Miss Rules
+
+Identify rules that prevent common mistakes:
+
+**Anti-Patterns to Avoid:**
+"Based on your codebase, here are critical things agents must NOT do:
+
+{{critical_anti_patterns_with_examples}}

+**Edge Cases:**
+{{specific_edge_cases_agents_should_handle}}
+
+**Security Rules:**
+{{security_considerations_agents_must_follow}}
+
+**Performance Gotchas:**
+{{performance_patterns_to_avoid}}
+
+Are there other 'gotchas' agents should know about?"
+
+### 8. Generate Context Content
+
+For each category, prepare lean content for the project context file:
+
+#### Content Structure:
+
+```markdown
+## Technology Stack & Versions
+
+{{concise_technology_list_with_exact_versions}}
+
+## Critical Implementation Rules
+
+### Language-Specific Rules
+
+{{bullet_points_of_critical_language_rules}}
+
+### Framework-Specific Rules
+
+{{bullet_points_of_framework_patterns}}
+
+### Testing Rules
+
+{{bullet_points_of_testing_requirements}}
+
+### Code Quality & Style Rules
+
+{{bullet_points_of_style_and_quality_rules}}
+
+### Development Workflow Rules
+
+{{bullet_points_of_workflow_patterns}}
+
+### Critical Don't-Miss Rules
+
+{{bullet_points_of_anti_patterns_and_edge_cases}}
+```
+
+### 9. Present Content and Menu
+
+After each category, show the generated rules and present choices:
+
+"I've drafted the {{category_name}} rules for your project context.
+
+**Here's what I'll add:**
+
+[Show the complete markdown content for this category]
+
+**What would you like to do?**
+[A] Advanced Elicitation - Explore nuanced rules for this category
+[P] Party Mode - Review from different implementation perspectives
+[C] Continue - Save these rules and move to next category"
+
+### 10. Handle Menu Selection
+
+#### If 'A' (Advanced Elicitation):
+
+- Execute advanced-elicitation.xml with current category rules
+- Process enhanced rules that come back
+- Ask user: "Accept these enhanced rules for {{category}}? (y/n)"
+- If yes: Update content, then return to A/P/C menu
+- If no: Keep original content, then return to A/P/C menu
+
+#### If 'P' (Party Mode):
+
+- Execute party-mode workflow with category rules context
+- Process collaborative insights on implementation patterns
+- Ask user: "Accept these changes to {{category}} rules? (y/n)"
+- If yes: Update content, then return to A/P/C menu
+- If no: Keep original content, then return to A/P/C menu
+
+#### If 'C' (Continue):
+
+- Save the current category content to project context file
+- Update frontmatter: `sections_completed: [...]`
+- Proceed to next category or step-03 if complete
+
+## APPEND TO PROJECT CONTEXT:
+
+When user selects 'C' for a category, append the content directly to `{output_folder}/project-context.md` using the structure from step 8.
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS:
+
+✅ All critical technology versions accurately documented
+✅ Language-specific rules cover unobvious patterns
+✅ Framework rules capture project-specific conventions
+✅ Testing rules ensure consistent test quality
+✅ Code quality rules maintain project standards
+✅ Workflow rules prevent implementation conflicts
+✅ Content is lean and optimized for LLM context
+✅ A/P/C menu presented and handled correctly for each category
+
+## FAILURE MODES:
+
+❌ Including obvious rules that agents already know
+❌ Making content too verbose for LLM context efficiency
+❌ Missing critical anti-patterns or edge cases
+❌ Not getting user validation for each rule category
+❌ Not documenting exact versions and configurations
+❌ Not presenting A/P/C menu after content generation
+
+## NEXT STEP:
+
+After completing all rule categories and user selects 'C' for the final category, load `./step-03-complete.md` to finalize the project context file.
+
+Remember: Do NOT proceed to step-03 until all categories are complete and user explicitly selects 'C' for each!

+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
+- Document state tracked in frontmatter
+- Focus on lean, LLM-optimized content generation
+- 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`, `document_output_language`, `user_skill_level`
+- `date` as system-generated current datetime
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Paths
+
+- `installed_path` = `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/generate-project-context`
+- `template_path` = `{installed_path}/project-context-template.md`
+- `output_file` = `{output_folder}/project-context.md`
