-# BMAD Workflow Conditional Execution Antipattern Audit
-
-**Date:** 2025-10-22
-**Auditor:** Claude Code (BMad Builder Agent)
-**Scope:** All markdown files under `src/`
-
----
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-**Critical Issue Identified:** Invalid self-closing `<check>` tag pattern found throughout BMAD workflow codebase.
-
-**Impact:**
-
-- **98 instances** across **14 workflow files**
-- Affects core workflows, builder workflows, and method workflows
-- Creates XML parsing ambiguity and unpredictable LLM behavior
-- Violates BMAD workflow specification (workflow.xml)
-
-**Severity:** CRITICAL - Invalid XML structure, ambiguous conditional scope
-
----
-
-## The Antipattern
-
-### Invalid Pattern (Self-Closing Check)
-
-```xml
-<!-- ❌ WRONG - Invalid XML structure -->
-<check>If condition met:</check>
-<action>Do something</action>
-<action>Do something else</action>
-```
-
-**Problems:**
-
-1. Check tag doesn't wrap anything (invalid XML)
-2. Ambiguous scope - unclear which actions are conditional
-3. Breaks formatters and parsers
-4. Not part of BMAD workflow spec
-5. Unpredictable LLM interpretation
-
-### Correct Patterns
-
-**Single conditional action:**
-
-```xml
-<!-- ✅ CORRECT - Inline conditional -->
-<action if="condition met">Do something</action>
-```
-
-**Multiple conditional actions:**
-
-```xml
-<!-- ✅ CORRECT - Proper wrapper block -->
-<check if="condition met">
-  <action>Do something</action>
-  <action>Do something else</action>
-</check>
-```

-## Example Instances
-
-### Example 1: create-agent/instructions.md (Line 13-20)
-
-**BEFORE (Invalid):**
-
-```xml
-<check>If yes:</check>
-  <action>Invoke brainstorming workflow: {project-root}/bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml</action>
-  <action>Pass context data: {installed_path}/brainstorm-context.md</action>
-  <action>Wait for brainstorming session completion</action>
-
-  <check>If no:</check>
-    <action>Proceed directly to Step 0</action>
-```
-
-**AFTER (Correct):**
-
-```xml
-<check if="user answered yes">
-  <action>Invoke brainstorming workflow: {project-root}/bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml</action>
-  <action>Pass context data: {installed_path}/brainstorm-context.md</action>
-  <action>Wait for brainstorming session completion</action>
-</check>
-
-<check if="user answered no">
-  <action>Proceed directly to Step 0</action>
-</check>
-```
-
-### Example 2: dev-story/instructions.md (Line 54-55)
-
-**BEFORE (Invalid):**
-
-```xml
-<check>If story file inaccessible → HALT: "Cannot develop story without access to story file"</check>
-<check>If task requirements ambiguous → ASK user to clarify or HALT</check>
-```
-
-**AFTER (Correct):**
-
-```xml
-<action if="story file inaccessible">HALT: "Cannot develop story without access to story file"</action>
-<action if="task requirements ambiguous">ASK user to clarify or HALT</action>
-```
-
----
-
-## Impact Assessment
-
-### Technical Impact
-
-1. **XML Validity:** Invalid structure violates XML parsing rules
-2. **Formatter Confusion:** Custom formatters incorrectly indent following content
-3. **Scope Ambiguity:** Unclear which actions are inside vs outside conditional
-4. **Maintainability:** Future developers confused by ambiguous structure
-
-### LLM Adherence Impact
-
-**Potential Issues:**
-
-- LLM may interpret check as unconditional statement
-- Actions may execute when they shouldn't (or vice versa)
-- Inconsistent behavior across different LLMs
-- Unpredictable results in complex nested conditionals
-
-**Observed Behavior:**
-
-- LLMs often "figure it out" through context and proximity
-- Colon (`:`) pattern signals "here's what to do"
-- Works in simple cases but risky in complex logic
-
-**Risk Level:** MEDIUM-HIGH
-
-- May work "most of the time" but unreliable
-- Fails in edge cases and complex nested logic
-- Future LLMs may interpret differently
-
----
-
-## Root Cause Analysis
-
-### Why This Happened
-
-1. **Implicit convention evolved** - Self-closing check pattern emerged organically
-2. **No enforcement** - No linter or validator caught the pattern
-3. **Copy-paste propagation** - Pattern copied across workflows
-4. **Formatting hid the issue** - Manual indentation made it "look right"
-5. **LLM tolerance** - Current LLMs often figured it out despite ambiguity
-
-### Meta-Problem
-
-**The workflows that CREATE workflows have the antipattern:**
-
-- create-workflow: 2 instances
-- create-agent: 11 instances
-- create-module: 12 instances
-- edit-workflow: 21 instances
-- convert-legacy: 13 instances
-
-This means NEW workflows were being created WITH the antipattern built-in!
-
----
-
-## Remediation Plan
-
-### Phase 1: Immediate (High Priority Files)
-
-Fix top 5 offenders (63% of problem):
-
-1. edit-workflow (21 instances)
-2. dev-story (13 instances)
-3. convert-legacy (13 instances)
-4. create-module (12 instances)
-5. create-agent (11 instances)
-
-**Total:** 70 instances (71% of problem)
-
-### Phase 2: Core Workflows
-
-Fix core workflows (critical for all modules):
-
-1. party-mode (7 instances)
-2. brainstorming (5 instances)
-
-**Total:** 12 instances
-
-### Phase 3: Remaining
-
-Fix remaining 16 instances across 7 files
-
-### Phase 4: Prevention
-
-1. **Update audit-workflow** ✅ DONE
-   - Added antipattern detection to Step 4
-   - Flags with CRITICAL severity
-   - Suggests correct patterns
-
-2. **Update creation guide** ✅ DONE
-   - Documented antipattern in workflow-creation-guide.md
-   - Clear examples of correct vs incorrect patterns
-   - Added to best practices
-
-3. **Update checklist** ✅ DONE
-   - Added validation criteria to checklist.md
-   - 3 new checks for conditional execution patterns
-
-4. **Create automated fixer** (TODO)
-   - Bulk conversion script for remaining instances
-   - Pattern matching and replacement logic
-
----
-
-## Specification Reference
-
-From `bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml`:
-
-```xml
-<tag>action if="condition" - Single conditional action (inline, no closing tag needed)</tag>
-<tag>check if="condition">...</check> - Conditional block wrapping multiple items (closing tag required)</tag>
-```
-
-**Key Point:** Check tags MUST have `if=""` attribute and MUST wrap content with closing tag.
-
-The self-closing pattern `<check>text</check>` is **NOT in the spec** and is **invalid**.
-
----
-
-## Detection Command
-
-To find all instances:
-
-```bash
-grep -r "<check>[^<]*</check>" src --include="*.md" -n
-```
-
-To count by file:
-
-```bash
-grep -r "<check>[^<]*</check>" src --include="*.md" -c | grep -v ":0$"
-```
-
----
-
-## Next Actions
-
-- [ ] Create bulk-fix script for automated conversion
-- [ ] Fix Phase 1 files (70 instances)
-- [ ] Fix Phase 2 files (12 instances)
-- [ ] Fix Phase 3 files (16 instances)
-- [ ] Run audit-workflow on all fixed files to verify
-- [ ] Update formatter to detect and warn on antipattern
-- [ ] Add pre-commit hook to prevent future instances

+1. **Automated Mode**: Uses @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser for fast sharding
+2. **Manual Mode**: Step-by-step guided process for controlled sharding
+3. **Safety Checks**: Validates code blocks aren't treated as headers
+4. **Content Preservation**: Maintains all formatting, code, tables, diagrams
+5. **Index Generation**: Creates navigable index.md automatically
+6. **Validation**: Verifies completeness and integrity
+
+---
+
+## Post-Conversion Actions
+
+### Recommended Next Steps
+
+1. ✅ **Task Created**: File saved to core tasks directory
+2. **Test Task**: Invoke from an agent or workflow to verify functionality
+3. **Update Documentation**: Reference in core task documentation if needed
+4. **Integration**: Add to relevant agent menus if appropriate
+
+### No Manual Adjustments Required
+
+The conversion is complete and ready for use. All legacy functionality has been successfully migrated to v6 XML format.
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- Original legacy file can be archived or left as-is (located on GitHub)
+- This task is now a core BMAD task available to all modules
+- The task follows v6 conventions and is fully compatible with BMAD-CORE v6 alpha
+- **UPDATED 2025-10-26**: Manual fallback steps removed - task now exclusively uses @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser
+- Flow simplified from 8 steps to 6 steps (tool installation → execution → verification)
+- All manual parsing, file creation, and index generation logic removed (tool handles automatically)
+
+---
+
+**Conversion Status**: ✅ COMPLETE (Updated)
+**Ready for Use**: YES
+**Manual Adjustments Needed**: NONE
+**Approach**: Automated tool only (no manual fallback)

-# Workflow Audit Report
-
-**Workflow:** story-ready
-**Audit Date:** 2025-10-25
-**Auditor:** Audit Workflow (BMAD v6)
-**Workflow Type:** Action (status update workflow)
-**Module:** BMM (BMad Method)
-
----
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-**Overall Status:** EXCELLENT
-
-- Critical Issues: 2
-- Important Issues: 2
-- Cleanup Recommendations: 0
-
-**Pass Rate:** 94% (66/70 checks passed)
-
-The story-ready workflow is well-structured and follows most BMAD v6 conventions. The workflow correctly uses `web_bundle: false` (intentional for local-only workflow). Critical issues relate to variable inconsistencies and undeclared config variables that are used in instructions.
-
----
-
-## 1. Standard Config Block Validation
-
-**Status:** ⚠️ CRITICAL ISSUES FOUND
-
-### Required Variables Check:
-
-✅ `config_source` is defined and points to correct module config path
-✅ Uses {project-root} variable correctly
-✅ `output_folder` pulls from config_source
-✅ `user_name` pulls from config_source
-✅ `communication_language` pulls from config_source
-✅ `date` is set to system-generated
-✅ Standard config comment present: "Critical variables from config"
-
-### Critical Issues:
-
-#### Issue 1: Missing Config Variables in YAML
-
-**Severity:** CRITICAL
-**Location:** workflow.yaml
-
-The instructions.md file uses the following config variables that are NOT declared in workflow.yaml:
-
-1. `{user_skill_level}` - Used in line 5: "language MUST be tailored to {user_skill_level}"
-2. `{document_output_language}` - Used in line 6: "Generate all documents in {document_output_language}"
-
-**Impact:** These variables will not be resolved by the workflow engine, potentially causing confusion or errors.
-
-**Fix Required:**
-
-```yaml
-# Critical variables from config
-config_source: '{project-root}/bmad/bmm/config.yaml'
-output_folder: '{config_source}:output_folder'
-user_name: '{config_source}:user_name'
-communication_language: '{config_source}:communication_language'
-user_skill_level: '{config_source}:user_skill_level' # ADD THIS
-document_output_language: '{config_source}:document_output_language' # ADD THIS
-date: system-generated
-```
-
-#### Issue 2: Variable Path Inconsistency
-
-**Severity:** CRITICAL
-**Location:** instructions.md line 3
-
-Instructions reference `{project_root}` (underscore) but workflow.yaml uses `{project-root}` (hyphen).
-
-**Current:** `<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project_root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>`
-
-**Should be:** `<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>`
-
-**Impact:** Variable will not resolve correctly, breaking the reference path.
-
----
-
-## 2. YAML/Instruction/Template Alignment
-
-**Status:** ✅ GOOD (with minor observations)
-
-### Variables Analyzed:
-
-**Workflow.yaml variables (excluding standard config):**
-
-- `story_path` - Used in instructions ✓
-- `story_dir` - Used in instructions ✓
-
-**Variables Used in Instructions (not in YAML):**
-
-- `{{story_key}}` - Generated dynamically, output via parsing ✓
-- `{{drafted_count}}` - Generated dynamically ✓
-- `{{list_of_drafted_story_keys}}` - Generated dynamically ✓
-- `{{non_interactive}}` - Conditional logic variable (may be from agent context)
-- `{{story_file}}` - Generated dynamically ✓
-- `{{story_id}}` - Extracted from story file ✓
-- `{{story_title}}` - Extracted from story file ✓
-
-### Summary:
-
-- **Variables in YAML:** 2 (story_path, story_dir)
-- **Used in Instructions:** 2/2 (100%)
-- **Unused (Bloat):** 0
-- **Dynamic Variables:** 7 (appropriate for action workflow)
-
-**Status:** Excellent - No bloat detected, all YAML variables are used appropriately.
-
----
-
-## 3. Config Variable Usage
-
-**Status:** ⚠️ IMPORTANT ISSUES FOUND
-
-### Communication Language Check:
-
-✅ Instructions use {communication_language} in critical header (line 5)
-⚠️ However, the instruction says "Communicate all responses in {communication_language}" but the actual workflow outputs don't explicitly enforce language adaptation
-
-### User Name Check:
-
-✅ User name properly used in final output (line 87): "**Story Marked Ready for Development, {user_name}!**"
-✅ Appropriate personalization in workflow completion message
-
-### Output Folder Check:
-
-✅ Output folder referenced correctly: `{{output_folder}}/sprint-status.yaml` (lines 18, 70)
-✅ No hardcoded paths detected
-✅ All file operations use proper variable references
-
-### Date Usage Check:
-
-✅ Date is available for agent awareness
-✅ Not used in outputs (appropriate for action workflow with no document generation)
-
-### User Skill Level Check:
-
-❌ **CRITICAL:** Variable used but not declared in workflow.yaml (line 5)
-
-### Document Output Language Check:
-
-❌ **CRITICAL:** Variable used but not declared in workflow.yaml (line 6)
-
-**Config Variable Summary:**
-
-- `communication_language`: ✅ Properly declared and used
-- `user_name`: ✅ Properly declared and used
-- `output_folder`: ✅ Properly declared and used
-- `date`: ✅ Properly declared (available but not used - appropriate)
-- `user_skill_level`: ❌ Used but NOT declared
-- `document_output_language`: ❌ Used but NOT declared
-
----
-
-## 4. Web Bundle Validation
-
-**Status:** ✅ CORRECT (N/A)
-
-**Web Bundle Present:** No (`web_bundle: false`)
-
-**Analysis:** The workflow correctly sets `web_bundle: false`. This is appropriate because:
-
-1. This is a local-only action workflow
-2. It directly modifies files in the project (sprint-status.yaml, story files)
-3. It requires access to the specific project's file system
-4. It cannot be executed in a web bundle context where file system access is sandboxed
-
-**Finding:** The absence of web bundle configuration is **EXPECTED and CORRECT** for this workflow type.
-
-**No issues found.**
-
----
-
-## 5. Bloat Detection
-
-**Status:** ✅ EXCELLENT
-
-### Bloat Analysis:
-
-**Total YAML Fields (excluding metadata and standard config):** 2
-
-- `story_path`
-- `story_dir`
-
-**Used Fields:** 2
-**Unused Fields:** 0
-
-**Bloat Percentage:** 0%
-
-### Hardcoded Values Check:
-
-✅ No hardcoded file paths (uses {output_folder})
-✅ No hardcoded greetings (uses {user_name})
-✅ No language-specific text (uses {communication_language})
-✅ No static dates (date variable available)
-
-### Redundant Configuration:
-
-✅ No duplicate fields between sections
-✅ No commented-out variables
-✅ No metadata repetition
-
-**Bloat Summary:** Zero bloat detected. Workflow is lean and efficient.
-
----
-
-## 6. Template Variable Mapping
-
-**Status:** N/A (Not a document workflow)
-
-This workflow is an action workflow (status update), not a document workflow, so template validation does not apply.
-
-**No template.md file required or expected.**
-
----
-
-## 7. Additional Quality Checks
-
-### Instruction Quality:
-
-✅ Steps properly numbered (n="1", n="2", n="3")
-✅ Each step has clear goal attribute
-✅ XML tags used correctly (<action>, <ask>, <check>, <output>, <anchor>)
-✅ Conditional logic properly implemented (if attributes)
-✅ Flow control is clear and logical
-✅ Steps are focused on single goals
-✅ Specific, actionable instructions provided
-✅ Critical sections properly marked with <critical> tags
-
-### Special Features:
-
-✅ Anchor tag used correctly: `<anchor id="mark_ready" />` (line 59)
-✅ Proper GOTO logic: "GOTO mark_ready" (line 15)
-✅ Conditional user interaction: `<ask if="{{non_interactive}} == false">` (line 53)
-✅ Auto-selection for non-interactive mode (line 54)
-
-### File References:
-
-✅ sprint-status.yaml referenced with proper variable path
-✅ Story files referenced with proper directory variable
-✅ Preservation instructions included (line 74): "Save file, preserving ALL comments and structure including STATUS DEFINITIONS"
-
----
-
-## Recommendations
-
-### Critical (Fix Immediately)
-
-**1. Add Missing Config Variables to workflow.yaml**
-
-```yaml
-user_skill_level: '{config_source}:user_skill_level'
-document_output_language: '{config_source}:document_output_language'
-```
-
-**2. Fix Variable Path Inconsistency**
-Change line 3 in instructions.md from:
-
-```
-{project_root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
-```
-
-to:
-
-```
-{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
-```
-
-### Important (Address Soon)
-
-**3. Clarify non_interactive Variable Source**
-The `{{non_interactive}}` variable is used in line 53-54 but not defined in workflow.yaml. Either:
-
-- Add to workflow.yaml if it's a workflow-specific variable
-- Document that it comes from agent context
-- Remove if not implemented yet
-
-**4. Document user_skill_level and document_output_language Usage**
-If these variables are standard across all BMM workflows:
-
-- Ensure they exist in the module's config.yaml
-- Add comments explaining their purpose
-- Verify they're actually needed for this action workflow (this workflow generates no documents, so document_output_language may not be necessary)
-
-### Cleanup (Nice to Have)
-
-**No cleanup recommendations** - The workflow is already lean and efficient.
-
----
-
-## Validation Checklist
-
-Use this checklist to verify fixes:
-
-- [ ] user_skill_level added to workflow.yaml standard config block
-- [ ] document_output_language added to workflow.yaml standard config block
-- [ ] {project_root} changed to {project-root} in instructions.md line 3
-- [ ] non_interactive variable source documented or defined
-- [ ] All standard config variables present and correct
-- [ ] No unused yaml fields (bloat removed) ✓ (already clean)
-- [ ] Config variables used appropriately in instructions ✓
-- [ ] Web bundle configuration correct ✓ (intentionally false)
-- [ ] File structure follows v6 conventions ✓
-
----
-
-## Overall Assessment
-
-### Strengths:
-
-1. **Zero bloat** - Every YAML variable is used, no waste
-2. **Clear workflow logic** - Simple, focused status update process
-3. **Proper file handling** - Uses variables for all paths, preserves file structure
-4. **Good UX** - Helpful output messages, clear next steps
-5. **Conditional logic** - Supports both interactive and non-interactive modes
-6. **Proper web_bundle setting** - Correctly set to false for local-only workflow
-
-### Weaknesses:
-
-1. Uses config variables not declared in workflow.yaml (user_skill_level, document_output_language)
-2. Variable naming inconsistency (project_root vs project-root)
-3. Unclear source of non_interactive variable
-
-### Overall Grade: **A-** (94%)
-
-This is a well-crafted workflow that follows BMAD v6 conventions closely. The critical issues are minor and easily fixable. Once the missing config variables are added and the path inconsistency is resolved, this workflow will be production-ready.
-
----
-
-## Next Steps
-
-1. **Immediate:** Add user_skill_level and document_output_language to workflow.yaml
-2. **Immediate:** Fix {project_root} → {project-root} in instructions.md
-3. **Soon:** Clarify or remove non_interactive variable usage
-4. **Soon:** Verify these config variables exist in src/modules/bmm/config.yaml (when it's created)
-5. **Optional:** Re-run audit after fixes to verify 100% pass rate

-### Just-In-Time Tech Specs
+### Architecture Scope by Level
 
-```
-FOR each epic in sequence:
-    WHEN ready to implement epic:
-        Architect: Run tech-spec workflow for THIS epic only
-        → Creates tech-spec-epic-N.md
-        → Hands off to implementation
-    IMPLEMENT epic completely
-    THEN move to next epic
-```
-
-**Critical**: Tech specs are created ONE AT A TIME as epics are ready for implementation, not all upfront. This prevents over-engineering and incorporates learning.
+- **Level 2**: Lightweight architecture document focusing on key technical decisions
+- **Level 3-4**: Comprehensive architecture with detailed ADRs, system diagrams, integration patterns
 
 ## Phase 4: Implementation (Iterative)
 
-The core development cycle that transforms requirements into working software.
+The core development cycle that transforms requirements into working software through sprint-based iteration.
 
-### The Story State Machine
+### Sprint Planning - The Phase 4 Entry Point
 
-Phase 4 uses a 4-state lifecycle to manage story progression, tracked in `bmm-workflow-status.md`:
+Phase 4 begins with the **sprint-planning** workflow, which generates a `sprint-status.yaml` file that serves as the single source of truth for all implementation tracking.
+
+**What sprint-planning does:**
+
+1. Extracts all epics and stories from epic files
+2. Creates ordered status tracking for every work item
+3. Auto-detects existing story files and contexts
+4. Maintains status through the development lifecycle
+
+### The Sprint Status System
+
+Phase 4 uses a 6-state lifecycle tracked in `sprint-status.yaml`:
+
+**Epic Status Flow:**
 
 ```
-BACKLOG → TODO → IN PROGRESS → DONE
+backlog → contexted
 ```
 
-#### State Definitions
+**Story Status Flow:**
 
-- **BACKLOG**: Ordered list of stories to be drafted (populated at phase transition)
-  - Contains all stories with IDs, titles, and file names
-  - Order is sequential (Epic 1 stories first, then Epic 2, etc.)
+```
+backlog → drafted → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done
+```
 
-- **TODO**: Single story that needs drafting (or drafted, awaiting approval)
-  - SM drafts story here using `create-story` workflow
-  - Story status is "Draft" until user approves
-  - User runs `story-ready` workflow to approve
+**Retrospective Status:**
 
-- **IN PROGRESS**: Single story approved for development
-  - Moved here by `story-ready` workflow
-  - DEV implements using `dev-story` workflow
-  - Story status is "Ready" or "In Review"
+```
+optional ↔ completed
+```
 
-- **DONE**: Completed stories with dates and points
-  - Moved here by `story-done` workflow after DoD complete
-  - Immutable record of completed work
+#### Status Definitions
 
-**Key Innovation**: Agents never search for "next story" - they always read the exact story from the status file.
+**Epic Statuses:**
+
+- **backlog**: Epic exists in epic file but not yet contexted
+- **contexted**: Epic technical context created (prerequisite for drafting stories)
+
+**Story Statuses:**
+
+- **backlog**: Story only exists in epic file, not yet drafted
+- **drafted**: Story file created (e.g., `stories/1-3-plant-naming.md`)
+- **ready-for-dev**: Draft approved + story context created
+- **in-progress**: Developer actively working on implementation
+- **review**: Under SM review (via review-story workflow)
+- **done**: Story completed and deployed
+
+**Retrospective Statuses:**
+
+- **optional**: Can be done but not required
+- **completed**: Retrospective has been completed

-### Story File Status Values
+### Key Guidelines
 
-Stories have a `Status:` field in their markdown file that reflects their position in the state machine:
+1. **Epic Context First**: Epics should be `contexted` before their stories can be `drafted`
+2. **Sequential by Default**: Stories are typically worked in order within an epic
+3. **Parallel Work Supported**: Multiple stories can be `in-progress` if team capacity allows
+4. **Learning Transfer**: SM drafts next story after previous is `done` to incorporate learnings
+5. **Flexible Status Updates**: Agents and users can manually update sprint-status.yaml as needed
+
+## Greenfield vs Brownfield Paths
+
+### Greenfield Projects (New Code)
+
+**Path:** Phase 1 (optional) → Phase 2 → Phase 3 (Levels 2-4) → Phase 4
+
+- **Level 0-1**: Skip Phase 3, go straight to implementation with tech-spec
+- **Level 2-4**: Full solutioning with architecture before implementation
+- Clean slate for architectural decisions
+- No existing patterns to constrain design
+
+### Brownfield Projects (Existing Code)
+
+**Path:** Phase 0 (if undocumented) → Phase 1 (optional) → Phase 2 → Phase 3 (Levels 2-4) → Phase 4
+
+**Phase 0 - Documentation (Conditional):**
 
 ```
-Status: Draft       (Story created by create-story, awaiting user review)
-  ↓
-Status: Ready       (User approved via story-ready, ready for implementation)
-  ↓
-Status: In Review   (Implementation complete, awaiting final approval)
-  ↓
-Status: Done        (User approved via story-done, DoD complete)
-```
-
-**Status File Position vs Story File Status:**
-
-| Status File State | Story File Status    | Meaning                               |
-| ----------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
-| BACKLOG           | (file doesn't exist) | Story not yet drafted                 |
-| TODO              | Draft                | Story drafted, awaiting user approval |
-| IN PROGRESS       | Ready or In Review   | Story approved for development        |
-| DONE              | Done                 | Story complete, DoD met               |

 ## Best Practices
 
 ### 1. Respect the Scale
 
-- Don't create PRDs for Level 0 changes
-- Don't skip architecture for Level 3-4 projects
-- Let the workflow determine appropriate artifacts
+- Don't create PRDs for Level 0-1 changes (use tech-spec only)
+- Don't skip architecture for Level 2-4 projects
+- Let the workflow paths determine appropriate artifacts
+- Level 2 still requires Phase 3 solutioning (lighter than 3-4)
 
-### 2. Embrace Just-In-Time
+### 2. Use Sprint Planning Effectively
 
-- Create tech specs one epic at a time
-- Generate stories as needed, not in batches
-- Build context injections per story
+- Run sprint-planning at the start of Phase 4
+- Context epics before drafting their stories (epic-tech-context)
+- Update sprint-status.yaml as work progresses
+- Re-run sprint-planning to auto-detect new files/contexts
 
 ### 3. Maintain Flow Integrity
 
-- Stories must be enumerated in Epics.md
+- Stories must be defined in Epics.md before sprint-planning
+- Complete epic context before story drafting
+- Create story context before implementation
 - Each phase completes before the next begins
-- Use fresh context windows for reviews
 
 ### 4. Document Brownfield First
 
 - Never plan without understanding existing code
+- Run document-project if codebase is undocumented
 - Technical debt must be visible in planning
 - Integration points need documentation
 
 ### 5. Learn Continuously
 
 - Run retrospectives after each epic
-- Update workflows based on learnings
+- Incorporate learnings into next story drafts
+- Update workflows based on team feedback
 - Share patterns across teams
 
 ## Common Pitfalls and Solutions
 
-| Pitfall                           | Solution                              |
-| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
-| Creating all tech specs upfront   | Use JIT approach - one epic at a time |
-| Skipping story-context generation | Always run after create-story         |
-| Batching story creation           | Create one story at a time            |
-| Ignoring scale levels             | Let workflow init determine level     |
-| Planning brownfield without docs  | Run brownfield-analysis first         |
-| Not running retrospectives        | Schedule after every epic             |

+| ------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| Skipping sprint-planning              | Always run at Phase 4 start - it creates status file  |
+| Creating stories without epic context | Run epic-tech-context before create-story             |
+| Skipping story-context generation     | Always run after create-story for better dev guidance |
+| Not updating sprint-status.yaml       | Update statuses as work progresses                    |
+| Thinking Level 2 skips Phase 3        | Level 2 DOES require architecture (just lighter)      |
+| Planning brownfield without docs      | Run document-project first if undocumented            |
+| Not running retrospectives            | Complete after every epic for learning transfer       |
+| Manually tracking stories elsewhere   | Use sprint-status.yaml as single source of truth      |
