fix(bmgd): add workflow status update to game-architecture completion (#1161)

* fix(bmgd): add workflow status update to game-architecture completion

The game-architecture workflow was not updating the bmgd-workflow-status.yaml
file on completion, unlike other BMGD workflows (narrative, brainstorm-game).

Changes:
- Add step 4 "Update Workflow Status" to update create-architecture status
- Renumber subsequent steps (5-8 → 6-9)
- Add success metric for workflow status update
- Add failure condition for missing status update

* feat(bmgd): add generate-project-context workflow for game development

Adds a new workflow to create optimized project-context.md files for AI agent
consistency in game development projects.

New workflow files:
- workflow.md: Main workflow entry point
- project-context-template.md: Template for context file
- steps/step-01-discover.md: Context discovery & initialization
- steps/step-02-generate.md: Rules generation with A/P/C menus
- steps/step-03-complete.md: Finalization & optimization

Integration:
- Added generate-project-context trigger to game-architect agent menu
- Added project context creation option to game-architecture completion step
- Renumbered steps 6-9 → 7-10 to accommodate new step 6

Adapted from BMM generate-project-context with game-specific:
- Engine patterns (Unity, Unreal, Godot)
- Performance and frame budget rules
- Platform-specific requirements
- Game testing patterns

+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
+and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
+  overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
+  advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+  address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+the official BMAD Discord server (<https://discord.com/invite/gk8jAdXWmj>) - DM a moderator or flag a post.
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
+of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
+permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
+the community.

+## [6.0.0-alpha.17]
+
+**Release: December 16, 2025**
+
+### 🚀 Revolutionary Installer Overhaul
+
+**Unified Installation Experience:**
+
+- **Streamlined Module Installation**: Completely redesigned installer with unified flow for both core and custom content
+- **Single Install Panel**: Eliminated disjointed clearing between modules for smoother, more intuitive installation
+- **Quick Default Selection**: New quick install feature with default selections for faster setup of selected modules
+- **Enhanced UI/UX**: Improved question order, reduced verbose output, and cleaner installation interface
+- **Logical Question Flow**: Reorganized installer questions to follow natural progression and user expectations
+
+**Custom Content Installation Revolution:**
+
+- **Full Custom Content Support**: Re-enabled complete custom content generation and sharing through the installer
+- **Custom Module Tracking**: Manifest now tracks custom modules separately to ensure they're always installed from the custom cache
+- **Custom Installation Order**: Custom modules now install after core modules for better dependency management
+- **Quick Update with Custom Content**: Quick update now properly retains and updates custom content
+- **Agent Customization Integration**: Customizations are now applied during quick updates and agent compilation
+
+### 🧠 Revolutionary Agent Memory & Visibility System
+
+**Breaking Through Dot-Folder Limitations:**
+
+- **Dot-Folder to Underscore Migration**: Critical change from `.bmad` to `_bmad` ensures LLMs (Codex, Claude, and others) can no longer ignore or skip BMAD content - dot folders are commonly filtered out by AI systems
+- **Universal Content Visibility**: Underscore folders are treated as regular content, ensuring full AI agent access to all BMAD resources and configurations
+- **Agent Memory Architecture**: Rolled out comprehensive agent memory support for installed agents with `-sidecar` folders
+- **Persistent Agent Learning**: Sidecar content installs to `_bmad/_memory`, giving each agent the ability to learn and remember important information specific to its role
+
+**Content Location Strategy:**
+
+- **Standardized Memory Location**: All sidecar content now uses `_bmad/_memory` as the unified location for agent memories
+- **Segregated Output System**: New architecture supports differentiating between ephemeral Phase 4 artifacts and long-term documentation
+- **Forward Compatibility**: Existing installations continue working with content in docs folder, with optimization coming in next release
+- **Configuration Cleanup**: Renamed `_cfg` to `_config` for clearer naming conventions
+- **YAML Library Consolidation**: Reduced dependency to use only one YAML library for better stability
+
+### 🎯 Future-Ready Architecture
+
+**Content Organization Preview:**
+
+- **Phase 4 Artifact Segregation**: Infrastructure ready for separating ephemeral workflow artifacts from permanent documentation
+- **Planning vs Implementation Docs**: New system will differentiate between planning artifacts and long-term project documentation
+- **Backward Compatibility**: Current installs maintain full functionality while preparing for optimized content organization
+- **Quick Update Path**: Tomorrow's quick update will fully optimize all BMM workflows to use new segregated output locations
+
+### 🎯 Sample Modules & Documentation
+
+**Comprehensive Examples:**
+
+- **Sample Unitary Module**: Complete example with commit-poet agent and quiz-master workflow
+- **Sample Wellness Module**: Meditation guide and wellness companion agents demonstrating advanced patterns
+- **Enhanced Documentation**: Updated README files and comprehensive installation guides
+- **Custom Content Creation Guides**: Step-by-step documentation for creating and sharing custom modules
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes & Optimizations
+
+**Installer Improvements:**
+
+- **Fixed Duplicate Entry Issue**: Resolved duplicate entries in files manifest
+- **Reduced Log Noise**: Less verbose logging during installation for cleaner user experience
+- **Menu Wording Updates**: Improved menu text for better clarity and understanding
+- **Fixed Quick Install**: Resolved issues with quick installation functionality
+
+**Code Quality:**
+
+- **Minor Code Cleanup**: General cleanup and refactoring throughout the codebase
+- **Removed Unused Code**: Cleaned up deprecated and unused functionality
+- **Release Workflow Restoration**: Fixed automated release workflow for v6
+
+**BMM Phase 4 Workflow Improvements:**
+
+- **Sprint Status Enhancement**: Improved sprint-status validation with interactive correction for unknown values and better epic status handling
+- **Story Status Standardization**: Normalized all story status references to lowercase kebab-case (ready-for-dev, in-progress, review, done)
+- **Removed Stale Story State**: Eliminated deprecated 'drafted' story state - stories now go directly from creation to ready-for-dev
+- **Code Review Clarity**: Improved code review completion message from "Story is ready for next work!" to "Code review complete!" for better clarity
+- **Risk Detection Rules**: Rewrote risk detection rules for better LLM clarity and fixed warnings vs risks naming inconsistency
+
+### 📊 Statistics
+
+- **40+ commits** since alpha.16
+- **Major installer refactoring** with complete UX overhaul
+- **2 new sample modules** with comprehensive examples
+- **Full custom content support** re-enabled and improved
+
+### 🌟 Key Highlights
+
+1. **Installer Revolution**: The installation system has been completely overhauled for better user experience, reliability, and speed
+2. **Custom Content Freedom**: Users can now easily create, share, and install custom content through the streamlined installer
+3. **AI Visibility Breakthrough**: Migration from `.bmad` to `_bmad` ensures LLMs can access all BMAD content (dot folders are commonly ignored by AI systems)
+4. **Agent Memory System**: Rolled out persistent agent memory support - agents with `-sidecar` folders can now learn and remember important information in `_bmad/_memory`
+5. **Quick Default Selection**: Installation is now faster with smart default selections for popular configurations
+6. **Future-Ready Architecture**: Infrastructure in place for segregating ephemeral artifacts from permanent documentation (full optimization coming in next release)

 **Release: November 18, 2025**
 
-This alpha release introduces a complete agent installation system with the new `bmad agent-install` command, vastly improves the BMB agent builder capabilities with comprehensive documentation and reference agents, and refines diagram distribution to better align with BMad Method's core principle: **BMad agents mirror real agile teams**.
+### 🚀 Agent Installation Revolution
 
-### 🎨 Diagram Capabilities Refined and Distributed
+- **bmad agent-install CLI**: Interactive agent installation with persona customization
-
+- **4 Reference Agents**: commit-poet, journal-keeper, security-engineer, trend-analyst
-**Excalidraw Integration Evolution:**
+- **Agent Compilation Engine**: YAML → XML with smart handler injection
-
+- **60 Communication Presets**: Pure communication styles for agent personas
-Building on the excellent Excalidraw integration introduced with the Frame Expert agent, we've refined how diagram capabilities are distributed across the BMad Method ecosystem to better reflect real agile team dynamics.
-
-**The Refinement:**

-- **role** → "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
-- **identity** → "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
-- **communication_style** → "What verbal patterns, word choice, and phrasing do I use?"
-- **principles** → "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices?"
-
-Key insight: `communication_style` should ONLY describe HOW the agent talks, not WHAT they do
-
-**BMM Agent Voice Enhancement:**
-
-All 9 existing BMM agents enhanced with distinct, memorable communication voices:
-
-- **Mary (analyst)**: "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue"

-# Custom Agent Installation
-
-Install and personalize BMAD agents in your project.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-```bash
-# From your project directory with BMAD installed
-npx bmad-method agent-install
-```
-
-Or if you have bmad-cli installed globally:
-
-```bash
-bmad agent-install
-```
-
-## What It Does
-
-1. **Discovers** available agent templates from your custom agents folder
-2. **Prompts** you to personalize the agent (name, behavior, preferences)
-3. **Compiles** the agent with your choices baked in
-4. **Installs** to your project's `.bmad/custom/agents/` directory
-5. **Creates** IDE commands for all your configured IDEs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.)
-6. **Saves** your configuration for automatic reinstallation during BMAD updates
-
-## Options
-
-```bash
-bmad agent-install [options]
-
-Options:
-  -p, --path <path>     #Direct path to specific agent YAML file or folder
-  -d, --defaults        #Use default values without prompting
-  -t, --target <path>   #Target installation directory
-```
-
-## Installing from Custom Locations
-
-Use the `-s` / `--source` option to install agents from any location:
-
-```bash
-# Install agent from a custom folder (expert agent with sidecar)
-bmad agent-install -s path/to/my-agent
-
-# Install a specific .agent.yaml file (simple agent)
-bmad agent-install -s path/to/my-agent.agent.yaml
-
-# Install with defaults (non-interactive)
-bmad agent-install -s path/to/my-agent -d
-
-# Install to a specific destination project
-bmad agent-install -s path/to/my-agent --destination /path/to/destination/project
-```
-
-This is useful when:
-
-- Your agent is in a non-standard location (not in `.bmad/custom/agents/`)
-- You're developing an agent outside the project structure
-- You want to install from an absolute path

-
-**For simple agents** (single file):
-
-```bash
-# From your project root
-cp node_modules/bmad-method/src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/stand-alone/commit-poet.agent.yaml \
-   .bmad/custom/agents/
-```
-
-**For expert agents** (folder with sidecar files):
-
-```bash
-# Copy the entire folder
-cp -r node_modules/bmad-method/src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/agent-with-memory/journal-keeper \
-   .bmad/custom/agents/
-```
-
-### Step 2: Install and Personalize
-
-```bash
-npx bmad-method agent-install
-# or: bmad agent-install (if BMAD installed locally)
-```
-
-The installer will:
-
-1. Find the copied template in `.bmad/custom/agents/`
-2. Prompt for personalization (name, behavior, preferences)
-3. Compile and install with your choices baked in
-4. Create IDE commands for immediate use
-
-### Available Reference Agents
-
-**Simple (standalone file):**

+# Custom Content Installation
+
+This guide explains how to create and install custom BMAD content including agents, workflows, and modules. Custom content extends BMAD's functionality with specialized tools and workflows that can be shared across projects or teams.
+
+For detailed information about the different types of custom content available, see [Custom Content](./custom-content.md).
+
+If you download either of the folders within the [Sample Custom Modules](./sample-custom-modules/readme.md) folder
+
+## Content Types Overview
+
+BMAD Core supports several categories of custom content:
+
+- Custom Stand Alone Modules
+- Custom Add On Modules
+- Custom Global Modules
+- Custom Agents
+- Custom Workflows
+
+## Making Custom Content Installable
+
+### 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 Files**
+   - Include a `module.yaml` file in the root folder
+   - This file drives the installation process when used by the BMAD installer
+   - Reference existing modules or the BMad Builder for configuration examples
+
+3. **Folder Organization**
+   Follow these conventions for optimal compatibility:
+
+   ```
+   module-code/
+     module.yaml
+     agents/
+     workflows/
+     tools/
+     templates/
+     ...
+   ```
+
+   - `agents/` - Agent definitions
+   - `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` to the module.yaml
+   - The `unitary: true` property indicates this is a collection of potentially unrelated items that don't depend on each other
+
+2. **Folder Structure**
+   Organize content in specific named folders:
+
+   ```
+   module-name/
+     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
+       moe/moe-sidecar/memories.csv
+   ```
+
+**Future Feature:** Unitary modules will support selective installation, allowing users to pick and choose which specific items to install.
+
+**Note:** Documentation explaining the distinctions between these content types and their specific use cases will be available soon.
+
+## Installation Process
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Ensure your content follows the proper conventions and includes a `module.yaml` file (only one per top-level folder).
+
+### New Project Installation
+
+When setting up a new BMAD project:
+
+1. The installer will prompt: `Would you like to install a local custom module (this includes custom agents and workflows also)? (y/N)`
+2. Select 'y' to specify the path to your module folder containing `module.yaml`
+
+### Existing Project Modification
+
+To add custom content to an existing BMAD project:
+
+1. Run the installer against your project location
+2. Select `Modify BMAD Installation`
+3. Choose the option to add, modify, or update custom modules
+
+### Upcoming Features
+
+- **Unitary Module Selection:** For modules with `type: unitary` (instead of `type: module`), you'll be able to select specific items to install
+- **Add-on Module Dependencies:** The installer will verify and install dependencies for add-on modules automatically
+
+## Quick Updates
+
+When updates to BMAD Core or core modules (BMM, CIS, etc.) become available, the quick update process will:
+
+1. Apply available updates to core modules
+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.
+
+## Important Considerations
+
+### Module Naming Conflicts
+
+When installing unofficial modules, ensure unique identification to avoid conflicts:
+
+1. **Module Codes:** Each module must have a unique code (e.g., don't use `bmm` for custom modules)
+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:**
+
+- Don't create a custom module with code `bmm` (already used by BMad Method)
+- Don't name multiple custom modules with the same code like `mca`
+
+### Best Practices
+
+- Use descriptive, unique codes for your modules
+- Document any dependencies your custom modules have
+- Test custom modules in isolation before sharing
+- Consider version numbering for your custom content to track updates

+# Custom Content
+
+BMAD supports several categories of officially supported custom content that extend the platform's capabilities. Custom content can be created manually or with the recommended assistance of the BMad Builder (BoMB) Module. The BoMB Agent provides workflows and expertise to plan and build any custom content you can imagine.
+
+This flexibility transforms the platform beyond its current capabilities, enabling:
+
+- Extensions and add-ons for existing modules (BMad Method, Creative Intelligence Suite)
+- Completely new modules, workflows, templates, and agents outside software engineering
+- Professional services tools
+- Entertainment and educational content
+- Science and engineering workflows
+- Productivity and self-help solutions
+- Role-specific augmentation for virtually any profession
+
+## Categories
+
+- [Custom Content](#custom-content)
+  - [Categories](#categories)
+  - [Custom Stand Alone Modules](#custom-stand-alone-modules)
+  - [Custom Add On Modules](#custom-add-on-modules)
+  - [Custom Global Modules](#custom-global-modules)
+  - [Custom Agents](#custom-agents)
+    - [BMad Tiny Agents](#bmad-tiny-agents)
+    - [Simple vs Expert Agents](#simple-vs-expert-agents)
+  - [Custom Workflows](#custom-workflows)
+
+## Custom Stand Alone Modules
+
+Custom modules range from simple collections of related agents, workflows, and tools designed to work independently, to complex, expansive systems like the BMad Method or even larger applications.
+
+Custom modules are [installable](./custom-content-installation.md) using the standard BMAD method and support advanced features:
+
+- Optional user information collection during installation/updates
+- Versioning and upgrade paths
+- Custom installer functions with IDE-specific post-installation handling (custom hooks, subagents, or vendor-specific tools)
+- Ability to bundle specific tools such as MCP, skills, execution libraries, and code
+
+## Custom Add On Modules
+
+Custom Add On Modules contain specific agents, tools, or workflows that expand, modify, or customize another module but cannot exist or install independently. These add-ons provide enhanced functionality while leveraging the base module's existing capabilities.
+
+Examples include:
+
+- Alternative implementation workflows for BMad Method agents
+- Framework-specific support for particular use cases
+- Game development expansions that add new genre-specific capabilities without reinventing existing functionality
+
+Add on modules can include:
+
+- Custom agents with awareness of the target module
+- Access to existing module workflows
+- Tool-specific features such as rulesets, hooks, subprocess prompts, subagents, and more
+
+## Custom Global Modules
+
+Similar to Custom Stand Alone Modules, but designed to add functionality that applies across all installed content. These modules provide cross-cutting capabilities that enhance the entire BMAD ecosystem.
+
+Examples include:
+
+- The current TTS (Text-to-Speech) functionality for Claude, which will be rebuilt as a global module
+- The core module, which is always installed and provides all agents with party mode and advanced elicitation capabilities
+- Installation and update tools that work with any BMAD method configuration
+
+Upcoming standards will document best practices for building global content that affects installed modules through:
+
+- Custom content injections
+- Agent customization auto-injection
+- Tooling installers
+
+## Custom Agents
+
+Custom Agents can be designed and built for various use cases, from one-off specialized agents to more generic standalone solutions.
+
+### BMad Tiny Agents
+
+Personal agents designed for highly specific needs that may not be suitable for sharing. For example, a team management agent living in an Obsidian vault that helps with:
+
+- Team coordination and management
+- Understanding team details and requirements
+- Tracking specific tasks with designated tools
+
+These are simple, standalone files that can be scoped to focus on specific data or paths when integrated into an information vault or repository.
+
+### Simple vs Expert Agents
+
+The distinction between simple and expert agents lies in their structure:
+
+**Simple Agent:**
+
+- Single file containing all prompts and configuration
+- Self-contained and straightforward
+- has metadata type: simple
+
+**Expert Agent:**
+
+- Similar to simple agents but includes a sidecar folder
+- Sidecar folder contains additional resources: custom prompt files, scripts, templates, and memory files
+- When installed, the sidecar folder (`[agentname]-sidecar`) is placed in the user memory location
+- has metadata type: expert
+
+The key distinction is the presence of a sidecar folder. As web and consumer agent tools evolve to support common memory mechanisms, storage formats, and MCP, the writable memory files will adapt to support these evolving standards.
+
+Custom agents can be:
+
+- Used within custom modules
+- Designed as standalone tools
+- Integrated with existing workflows and systems, if this is to be the case, should also include a module: <module name> if a specific module is intended for it to require working with
+
+## Custom Workflows
+
+Workflows are powerful, progressively loading sequence engines capable of performing tasks ranging from simple to complex, including:
+

+# Sample Custom Modules
+
+These are quickly put together examples of both a stand alone somewhat cohesive module that shows agents with workflows and that interact with the core features, and another custom module that is comprised with unrelated agents and workflows that are meant to be picked and chosen from - (but currently will all be installed as a module)
+
+To try these out, download either or both folders to your local machine, and run the normal bmad installer, and when asked about custom local content, say yes, and give the path to one of these two folders. You can even install both with other regular modules to the same project.
+
+Note - a project is just a folder with .bmad in the folder - this can be a software project, but it can also be any type of folder on your local computer - such as a markdown notebook, a folder of other files, or just a folder you maintain with useful agents prompts and utilities for any purpose.
+
+Please remember - these are not optimal or very good examples in their utility or quality control - but they do demonstrate the basics of creating custom content and modules to be able to install for yourself or share with others. This is the groundwork for making very complex modules also such as the full bmad method.
+
+Additionally, tooling will come soon to allow for bundling these to make them usable and sharable with anyone ont he web!

+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+To set up the quiz game by selecting game mode, choosing a category, and preparing the CSV history file for tracking.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator

+
+- ✅ You are an enthusiastic gameshow host
+- ✅ Your energy is high, your presentation is dramatic
+- ✅ You bring entertainment value and quiz expertise
+- ✅ User brings their competitive spirit and knowledge
+- ✅ Maintain excitement throughout the game
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus ONLY on game initialization
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to start asking quiz questions in this step
+- 💬 Present mode options with enthusiasm
+- 🚫 DO NOT proceed without mode and category selection
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Create exciting game atmosphere

+
+Load config from {project-root}/\_bmad/bmb/config.yaml to get user_name.
+
+Present dramatic welcome:
+"🎺 _DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS_ 🎺
+
+WELCOME TO QUIZ MASTER! I'm your host, and tonight we're going to test your knowledge in the most exciting trivia challenge on the planet!
+
+{user_name}, you're about to embark on a journey of wit, wisdom, and wonder! Are you ready to become today's Quiz Master champion?"

+**OR** - if you're feeling adventurous - **TYPE YOUR OWN CATEGORY!** Any topic is welcome - from Ancient Rome to Zoo Animals!"
+
+Wait for category input.
+
+### 4. CSV File Initialization
+

+
+Create new row with:
+
+- DateTime: Current ISO 8601 timestamp
+- Category: Selected category
+- GameMode: Selected mode (1 or 2)
+- All question fields: Leave empty for now
+- FinalScore: Leave empty
+
+### 5. Game Start Transition

+
+Let's start with Question 1 - the warm-up round! Get ready..."
+
+### 6. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: **Starting your quiz adventure...**
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- After CSV setup and category selection, immediately load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- This is an auto-proceed step with no user choices
+- Proceed directly to next step after setup
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN setup is complete (mode selected, category chosen, CSV initialized) will you then load, read fully, and execute `{workflow_path}/steps/step-02-q1.md` to begin the first question.
+
+## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### ✅ SUCCESS:
+
+- Game mode successfully selected (1 or 2)
+- Category provided by user
+- CSV file created with headers if needed
+- Initial row created with DateTime, Category, and GameMode
+- Excitement and energy maintained throughout
+
+### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+

+- Proceeding without category choice
+- Not creating/initializing CSV file
+- Losing gameshow host enthusiasm
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.

+
+Present dramatic introduction:
+"🎵 QUESTION 1 - THE WARM-UP ROUND! 🎵
+
+Let's start things off with a gentle warm-up in **[Category]**! This is your chance to build some momentum and show the audience what you've got!

+"😅 **OH, TOUGH BREAK!**
+Not quite right, but don't worry! In **[Mode Name]** mode, we [continue to next question / head to the results]!"
+
+### 5. CSV Update
+
+Update the CSV file's last row with:
+
+- Q1-Question: The question text (escaped if needed)
+- Q1-Choices: (A)Opt1|(B)Opt2|(C)Opt3|(D)Opt4
+- Q1-UserAnswer: User's selected letter
+- Q1-Correct: TRUE if correct, FALSE if incorrect
+

+
+# Quiz Master
+
+**Goal:** To entertain users with an interactive trivia quiz experience featuring progressive difficulty questions, dual game modes, and CSV history tracking.
+
+**Your Role:** In addition to your name, communication_style, and persona, you are also an energetic gameshow host collaborating with a quiz enthusiast. This is a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship. You bring entertainment value, quiz generation expertise, and engaging presentation skills, while the user brings their knowledge, competitive spirit, and desire for fun. Work together as equals to create an exciting quiz experience.
+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+### Core Principles
+
+- **Micro-file Design**: Each question and phase is a self-contained instruction file that will be executed one at a time
+- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only 1 current step file will be loaded, read, and executed to completion - never load future step files until told to do so
+- **Sequential Enforcement**: Questions must be answered in order (1-10), no skipping allowed
+- **State Tracking**: Update CSV file after each question with answers and correctness
+- **Progressive Difficulty**: Each step increases question complexity from level 1 to 10
+
+### Step Processing Rules
+
+1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
+2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute all numbered sections in order, never deviate
+3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
+4. **CHECK CONTINUATION**: If the step has a menu with Continue as an option, only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
+5. **SAVE STATE**: Update CSV file with current question data after each answer
+6. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, load, read entire file, then execute the next step file
+
+### Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
+
+- 🛑 **NEVER** load multiple step files simultaneously
+- 📖 **ALWAYS** read entire step file before execution
+- 🚫 **NEVER** skip questions or optimize the sequence
+- 💾 **ALWAYS** update CSV file after each question
+- 🎯 **ALWAYS** follow the exact instructions in the step file
+- ⏸️ **ALWAYS** halt at menus and wait for user input
+- 📋 **NEVER** create mental todo lists from future steps
+
+---
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
+
+### 1. Module Configuration Loading
+
+Load and read full config from {project-root}/\_bmad/bmb/config.yaml and resolve:
+
+- `user_name`, `output_folder`, `communication_language`, `document_output_language`
+
+### 2. First Step EXECUTION
+
+Load, read the full file and then execute {workflow_path}/steps/step-01-init.md to begin the workflow.

+# Wassup Workflow
+
+**Goal:** To think about all local changes and tell me what we have done but not yet committed so far.
+
+## Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
+
+- 🛑 **NEVER** read partial unchanged files and assume you know all the details
+- 📖 **ALWAYS** read entire files with uncommited changes to understand the full scope.
+- 🚫 **NEVER** assume you know what changed just by looking at a file name
+
+---
+
+## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
+
+- 1. Find all uncommitted changed files
+- 2. Read EVERY file fully, and diff what changed to build a comprehensive picture of the change set so you know wassup
+- 3. If you need more context read other files as needed.
+- 4. Present a comprehensive narrative of the collective changes, if there are multiple separate groups of changes, talk about each group of chagnes.
+- 5. Ask the user at least 2-3 clarifying questions to add further context.
+- 6. Suggest a commit message and offer to commit the changes thus far.

+# EXAMPLE MODULE WARNING
+
+This module is an example and is not at all recommended for any real usage for any sort of realworld medical therepy - this was quickly put together to demonstrate what the build might come up with, this module was not vetted by any medical professionals and should be considered at best for entertainment purposes only, more practically a novelty.
+
+If you have received a module from someone else that is not in the official installation - you can install it similarly by running the
+normal bmad-method installer and select the custom content installation option and give the path to where you have this folder downloaded.

+
+        Let's begin by finding a comfortable position. Whether you're sitting or lying down, allow your body to settle.
+
+        *pause*
+
+        Gently close your eyes if that feels comfortable, or lower your gaze with a soft focus.
+
+        Let's start with three deep breaths together. Inhaling slowly... and exhaling completely.
+        *pause for breath cycle*
+        Once more... breathing in calm... and releasing tension.
+        *pause*
+        One last time... gathering peace... and letting go.
+
+        Now, allowing your breath to return to its natural rhythm. Noticing the sensations of breathing...
+        The gentle rise and fall of your chest or belly...
+
+        We'll sit together in this awareness for a few moments. There's nothing you need to do, nowhere to go, nowhere to be... except right here, right now.

+
+        Now, notice your breath. Just one breath. In... and out.

+
+        Notice the sounds around you. Without judging, just listening.

+

 # Using BMad Web Bundles in Gemini Gems & Custom GPTs
 
+## IMPORTANT NOTE
+
+The Web Bundling Feature is being rebuilt from the ground up, current bundles for v6 may be incomplete or missing functionality and are not optimized. This will be rectified very soon, with a more expansive guide.
+
+## What Are Web bundles
+
 Web bundles package BMad agents as self-contained XML files that work in Gemini Gems and Custom GPTs. Everything the agent needs - instructions, workflows, dependencies - is bundled into a single file.
 
 ## What Are Web Bundles?
@@ -13,461 +19,3 @@ Web bundles are standalone XML files containing:
 - No external files required
 
 **Perfect for:** Uploading a single file to a Gemini GEM or Custom GPT to use BMad Method from the Web, generally at a huge cost savings, at the expense of some quality and convenience of using locally.
-
-## Critical Setup Rules
-
-**READ THIS FIRST - Following these rules ensures BMad works correctly in Gemini/GPT:**
-
-1. **ONE file per Gem/GPT** - Upload exactly ONE XML file per Gemini Gem or Custom GPT instance. Do NOT combine multiple agent files.
-
-2. **Use the setup instructions** - When creating your Gem/GPT, you MUST add the configuration prompt (shown in Quick Start below) so it knows how to read the XML file.
-
-3. **Enable Canvas/Code Execution** - This is ESSENTIAL for document generation workflows (PRD, Architecture, etc.). Enable this in your Gem/GPT settings.
-
-4. **Gemini Gems are strongly preferred** - They work significantly better than Custom GPTs for BMad workflows.
-
-5. **Team bundles = Gemini 2.5 Pro+ only** - Team bundles (multiple agents) have terrible performance in Custom GPTs due to context limits. Only use them with Gemini 2.5 Pro or higher.
-
-6. **Create separate Gems for each agent** - Make a PM Gem, an Architect Gem, a Developer Gem, etc. Don't try to combine them (except via official team bundles).
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### 1. Get Web Bundle Files
-
-**Option A: Download Pre-Bundled Files (Quickest)**
-
-Download ready-to-use bundles that are automatically updated whenever commits are merged to main:
-
-**[→ Download Web Bundles](https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-bundles/)**
-
-Navigate to the module folder (bmm, bmb, cis, bmgd) → agents folder → download the `.xml` file you need. These bundles are automatically regenerated and deployed with every commit to the main branch, ensuring you always have the latest version.
-
-**Option B: Generate from Local Installation**
-
-From your BMad project directory:
-
-```bash
-# Generate all agent bundles
-npm run bundle
-
-# Or generate specific bundles
-node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js module bmm
-node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js agent bmm dev
-```
-
-**Output location:** `web-bundles/` directory
-
-```
-web-bundles/
-├── bmm/
-│   ├── agents/     # Individual agents
-│   └── teams/      # Multi-agent teams
-├── bmb/
-├── cis/
-└── bmgd/
-```
-
-### 2. Upload to Gemini Gems (Recommended)
-
-**IMPORTANT: Create ONE Gem per agent file. Do NOT upload multiple agent files to a single Gem.**
-
-**Create a Gem:**
-
-1. Go to [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/)
-2. Click "New Gem" or "Create Gem"
-3. Give your Gem a name (e.g., "BMad PM Agent")
-4. **Enable "Code execution" for best results with document generation**
-5. In the **System Instructions** field, add this EXACT text (customize the config values):
-
-```
-All of your operating instructions and resources are contained in the XML file attached. Read in the initial agent block and instructions to understand it. You will not deviate from the character and rules outlined in the attached!
-
-CONFIG.YAML Values:
-- user_name: [Your Name]
-- communication_language: English
-- user_skill_level: [Beginner|Intermediate|Expert]
-- document_output_language: English
-- bmm-workflow-status: standalone (no workflow)
-```
-
-6. **Upload ONE XML file** (e.g., `pm.xml`) - either attach as a file or paste contents
-7. Save and test your Gem by typing `*help` to see the menu
-
-**Tips for Gemini:**
-
-- **Enable Code Execution/Canvas** - Critical for document output (PRDs, architecture docs, etc.)
-- **Use Gemini 2.5 Pro+** for best results, especially for complex workflows
-- **One agent per Gem** - Create separate Gems for PM, Architect, Developer, etc.
-- Test the agent by triggering menu items with `*workflow-name`
-
-### 3. Upload to Custom GPTs
-
-**IMPORTANT: Create ONE Custom GPT per agent file. Do NOT upload multiple agent files to a single GPT.**
-
-**Create a Custom GPT:**
-
-1. Go to [ChatGPT](https://chat.openai.com/)
-2. Click your profile → "My GPTs" → "Create a GPT"
-3. Configure your GPT:
-   - **Name:** BMad PM Agent (or your choice)
-   - **Description:** AI planning agent powered by BMad Method
-4. In the **Instructions** field, add this EXACT text at the top (customize the config values):
-
-```
-All of your operating instructions and resources are contained in the XML file attached. Read in the initial agent block and instructions to understand it. You will not deviate from the character and rules outlined in the attached!
-
-CONFIG.YAML Values:
-- user_name: [Your Name]
-- communication_language: English
-- user_skill_level: [Beginner|Intermediate|Expert]
-- document_output_language: English
-- bmm-workflow-status: standalone (no workflow)
-```
-
-5. **Below that text**, paste the entire contents of ONE XML file (e.g., `pm.xml`)
-6. **Enable "Canvas" in ChatGPT settings** for better document output
-7. Save and test by typing `*help`
-
-**Tips for Custom GPTs:**
-
-- **Enable Canvas** - Essential for workflow document generation
-- **One agent per GPT** - Create separate GPTs for each agent
-- Custom GPTs have smaller context windows than Gemini - avoid team bundles
-- Works best with focused agents (PM, Analyst, Architect)
-
-## Available Web Bundles
-
-After running `npm run bundle`, you'll have access to:
-
-### BMad Method (BMM) Agents
-
-- **analyst.xml** - Business analysis and requirements gathering
-- **architect.xml** - System architecture and technical design
-- **dev.xml** - Full-stack development and implementation
-- **pm.xml** - Product management and planning
-- **sm.xml** - Scrum master and agile facilitation
-- **tea.xml** - Test architecture and quality assurance
-- **tech-writer.xml** - Technical documentation
-- **ux-designer.xml** - User experience design
-- **game-designer.xml** - Game design and mechanics
-- **game-dev.xml** - Game development

-- **design-thinking-coach.xml** - Human-centered problem solving
-- **innovation-strategist.xml** - Innovation and strategy
-- **creative-problem-solver.xml** - Breakthrough problem solving
-- **storyteller.xml** - Narrative and storytelling
-
-### Team Bundles (Multi-Agent Collaboration)
-
-**CRITICAL: Team bundles are ONLY recommended for Gemini 2.5 Pro+ in the web. The experience is poor with Custom GPTs due to limited context windows.**
-
-- **bmm/teams/team-fullstack.xml** - Full BMad Method development team
-- **bmgd/teams/team-gamedev.xml** - Game development team
-- **cis/teams/creative-squad.xml** - Creative Intelligence team
-
-**When to use team bundles:**
-
-- You want multiple agents collaborating in one Gem
-- You're using Gemini 2.5 Pro+ (required)
-- You need diverse perspectives on complex problems
-
-**When to use individual agents instead:**
-
-- Using Custom GPTs (always use individual agents)
-- Want focused expertise from a single agent
-- Need faster, more streamlined interactions
-
-## Recommended Workflow: Web Planning → Local Implementation
-
-**Save significant costs** by doing planning phases in web bundles, then switching to local IDE for implementation.
-
-### Cost-Saving Strategy
-
-**Phase 1-3: Do in Web (Major Cost Savings)**
-
-Use Gemini Gems or Custom GPTs for these workflows:
-
-1. **Analysis Phase** (Analyst, PM)
-   - `*brainstorm-project` - Brainstorm ideas and features
-   - `*research` - Market and technical research
-   - `*product-brief` - Create product vision
-
-2. **Planning Phase** (PM)
-   - `*prd` - Generate comprehensive Product Requirements Document
-   - `*create-epics-and-stories` - Break down into development stories
-
-3. **Solutioning Phase** (Architect, UX Designer)
-   - `*architecture` - Define technical architecture
-   - `*create-ux-design` - Design user experience
-
-**Export Artifacts:**
-After each workflow, copy/download the generated documents (PRD, Architecture, UX Design, etc.)
-
-**Phase 4: Switch to Local IDE (Required for Implementation)**
-
-1. Save exported artifacts to your project's `docs/` folder
-2. Run local BMad installation with `*workflow-init`
-3. BMad will detect the existing artifacts and update workflow status
-4. Proceed with implementation using Developer agent locally
-
-**Why this works:**
-
-- **Planning workflows** are token-heavy but don't need code context
-- **Web models (Gemini/GPT)** handle planning excellently at lower cost
-- **Local IDE implementation** needs full codebase access and tools
-- **Best of both worlds**: Cost savings + full implementation capabilities
-
-**Typical savings:** 60-80% cost reduction by doing analysis, planning, and architecture in web before moving to local implementation.
-
-## Using Web Bundles
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-**1. Load the Agent**
-
-Upload or paste the XML file into Gemini/GPT. The agent will introduce itself and show its menu.
-
-**2. Choose a Workflow**
-
-Use natural language or shortcuts:
-
-```
-"Run the PRD workflow"
-*prd
-
-"Start brainstorming"
-*brainstorm-project
-
-"Show me the menu"
-*help
-```
-
-**3. Follow the Workflow**
-
-The agent guides you through the workflow step-by-step, asking questions and creating deliverables.
-
-### Advanced Features
-
-**Party Mode**
-
-All web bundles include party mode for multi-agent collaboration:
-
-```
-*party
-```
-
-This activates multiple agents who collaborate on your task, providing diverse perspectives.
-
-**Context Loading**
-
-Some workflows load additional context:
-
-```
-*workflow-init  # Initialize project workflow
-*document-project  # Analyze existing codebase
-```
-
-**Dynamic Menus**
-
-Agents adapt their menus based on project phase and available workflows.
-
-## Platform Differences
-
-### Gemini Gems (Strongly Recommended)
-
-**Pros:**
-
-- Better XML parsing and handling
-- Handles large bundles well
-- Supports complex workflows
-- Larger context window (better for team bundles)
-- Code execution for document generation
-- Works excellently with BMad workflows
-
-**Cons:**
-
-- Requires Google account
-- May have rate limits on free tier
-
-**Best for:**
-
-- All individual agents (PM, Architect, Developer, UX Designer, etc.)
-- Team bundles (requires Gemini 2.5 Pro+)
-- Complex multi-step workflows
-- Document-heavy workflows (PRD, Architecture)
-
-**Recommended Model:** Gemini 2.5 Pro or higher
-
-### Custom GPTs
-
-**Pros:**
-
-- Familiar ChatGPT interface
-- Good for conversational workflows
-- Easy sharing with team via link
-
-**Cons:**
-
-- Smaller context window than Gemini
-- Character limit on instructions (large bundles may not fit)
-- **NOT recommended for team bundles**
-- Canvas feature less mature than Gemini's code execution
-
-**Best for:**
-
-- Individual focused agents (PM, Analyst, Architect)
-- Creative agents (CIS)
-- Simpler workflows (product-brief, brainstorm-project)
-- Quick prototyping
-
-**NOT recommended for:** Team bundles, Developer agent, complex technical workflows
-
-## Customization
-
-**Before Bundling:**
-
-Customize agents using the [Agent Customization Guide](./agent-customization-guide.md):
-
-1. Edit `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/<agent>.customize.yaml`
-2. Rebuild: `npx bmad-method build <agent-name>`
-3. Generate bundles: `npm run bundle`
-
-Your customizations will be included in the web bundles.
-
-**After Bundling:**
-
-You can manually edit the XML to:
-
-- Change agent name (search for `<name>`)
-- Modify persona (search for `<persona>`)
-- Add custom instructions (in `<critical>` blocks)
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Agent not responding correctly?**
-
-- Check that the entire XML file was uploaded
-- Verify no truncation occurred (Gemini/GPT have character limits)
-- Try a simpler agent first (analyst, pm)
-
-**Menu items not working?**
-
-- Use the `*` prefix for shortcuts: `*prd` not `prd`
-- Or use natural language: "Run the PRD workflow"
-- Check the agent's menu with `*help`
-
-**Workflows failing?**
-
-- Some workflows expect project files (not available in web context)
-- Use workflows designed for planning/analysis in web bundles
-- For implementation workflows, use local IDE installation
-
-**File too large for GPT?**
-
-- Split into sections and use multiple GPTs
-- Use Gemini Gems instead (better for large files)
-- Generate single-agent bundles instead of team bundles
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **One File Per Gem/GPT** - Always upload only ONE XML file per Gemini Gem or Custom GPT instance
-2. **Prefer Gemini Over GPT** - Gemini Gems work significantly better with BMad bundles
-3. **Enable Canvas/Code Execution** - Essential for document generation workflows (PRD, Architecture, etc.)
-4. **Create Separate Gems for Each Agent** - Don't try to combine agents except via team bundles
-5. **Team Bundles = Gemini 2.5 Pro+ Only** - Never use team bundles with Custom GPTs
-6. **Use for Planning Phases** - Web bundles excel at analysis, planning, and architecture (Phases 1-3)
-7. **Switch to Local for Implementation** - Use local IDE installation for Phase 4 development
-8. **Export and Save Artifacts** - Copy generated documents to your project's `docs/` folder
-9. **Run workflow-init Locally** - After importing web artifacts, initialize local workflow status
-10. **Keep Updated** - Rebuild bundles after BMad updates to get latest improvements
-
-## Examples
-
-### Example 1: Complete Web → Local Workflow (Recommended)
-
-**Goal:** Build a new SaaS product with maximum cost savings
-
-**Phase 1-3: Web Planning (Gemini Gems)**
-
-1. **Download bundles:**
-   - `bmm/agents/analyst.xml`
-   - `bmm/agents/pm.xml`
-   - `bmm/agents/architect.xml`
-   - `bmm/agents/ux-designer.xml`
-
-2. **Create 4 separate Gemini Gems** (one per agent, enable Code Execution)
-
-3. **Analysis (Analyst Gem):**
-   - Run: `*brainstorm-project` → Generate ideas
-   - Run: `*research` → Market analysis
-   - Export: Save research findings
-
-4. **Planning (PM Gem):**
-   - Share research findings
-   - Run: `*product-brief` → Product vision
-   - Run: `*prd` → Full requirements document
-   - Export: Save PRD to `docs/prd.md`
-
-5. **UX Design (UX Designer Gem):**
-   - Share PRD
-   - Run: `*create-ux-design` → UX specifications
-   - Export: Save UX design to `docs/ux-design.md`
-
-6. **Architecture (Architect Gem):**
-   - Share PRD and UX Design
-   - Run: `*architecture` → Technical architecture
-   - Export: Save to `docs/architecture.md`
-
-**Phase 4: Local Implementation**
-
-7. **Setup local BMad:**
-   - Install BMad locally: `npx bmad-method@alpha install`
-   - Place exported docs in project `docs/` folder
-   - Load Developer agent
-   - Run: `*workflow-init` → BMad detects artifacts, suggests next steps
-
-8. **Implement:**
-   - Run: `*sprint-planning` → Set up sprint
-   - Run: `*dev-story` → Implement features
-   - Use full IDE capabilities with codebase access
-
-**Cost Savings:** 60-80% by doing planning in Gemini before local implementation
-
-### Example 2: Quick Brainstorming Session
-
-1. Download `cis/agents/brainstorming-coach.xml`
-2. Create Gemini Gem with Code Execution enabled
-3. Run: `*brainstorming`
-4. Choose technique (e.g., SCAMPER, Mind Mapping)
-5. Generate and refine ideas
-6. Export results for team review
-
-### Example 3: Architecture Review
-
-1. Download `bmm/agents/architect.xml`
-2. Create Gemini Gem (enable Code Execution)
-3. Paste existing PRD into conversation
-4. Run: `*architecture`
-5. Collaborate on technical decisions
-6. Export architecture document to `docs/architecture.md`
