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

fix(release): restore automated release workflow for v6 (#1139)
* fix(release): update workflow to sync package-lock.json

- Call 'npm version' directly with --no-git-tag-version flag to ensure
  both package.json and package-lock.json are updated together
- Add 'alpha' option (default) for alpha version bumps
- Add 'beta' option to transition to/bump beta series
- Temporarily disable web bundles (tools/cli/bundlers/ is missing)

The workflow was previously calling non-existent npm scripts
(version:patch/minor/major) that were removed in the v6 refactor.

Note: This change cannot be fully tested without triggering an actual
release. The web bundles functionality requires a separate fix.

Fixes #1104

* fix(release): simplify version bump logic

Modern npm (v11+) correctly handles --preid flag transitions:
- prerelease --preid=beta on alpha.X produces beta.0 (works!)
- prerelease --preid=alpha on alpha.X produces alpha.X+1 (works!)

CodeRabbit warning was based on outdated npm behavior.
Consolidate alpha|beta into single case for cleaner code.

Alex Verkhovsky 7d6aae1b78 fix(bmm): remove stale 'drafted' story state from docs and workflows
The `drafted` story state is no longer used since create-story now sets
status directly to `ready-for-dev`. This PR removes all references to
this legacy state from BMM documentation and workflow files.

Changes:
- Remove `drafted` from story status definitions and state machine docs
- Remove dead story-context file detection (story-context files no longer exist)
- Replace "draft" verb with "create" in story-related messaging
- Add legacy `drafted` → `ready-for-dev` migration in sprint-status
- Clarify that validate-create-story is optional and doesn't change status
- Document story handoff sequence: create-story → (optional) validate → dev-story

Story lifecycle is now: backlog → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done

fix(bmm): improve code review completion message (#1095)
Change "Story is ready for next work!" to "Code review complete!"

The original phrasing was misleading - when a code review finishes
with status "done", it means the review itself is complete and the
story is marked done in tracking. However, the user may choose to
do additional reviews or the story may genuinely be finished.
"Code review complete" more accurately describes what actually
happened without implying next steps.

chore(cli): remove broken build caching (#1042)
The agent build caching never worked - BUILD-META comments were
never written to output files, so every build acted like --force.

Since building all 29 agents takes ~300ms, caching provided no
meaningful benefit. Removed ~190 lines of dead code including
checkIfNeedsRebuild, checkBuildStatus, buildMetadataComment,
and the --force flag.

fix(workflows): remove hardcoded years from WebSearch queries (#1040)
* update 2024 to 2025

* fix(workflows): remove hardcoded years from WebSearch queries

Years in search queries (2024/2025) do not improve results - search
engines already prioritize current documentation. Tested all patterns
and confirmed identical quality results with/without years.

Removes years from:
- step-03-starter.md (5 queries)
- step-04-decisions.md (2 queries)
- game-architecture/instructions.md (2 queries)

Leaves file-utils.md unchanged (test fixture data, not a search query).

fix(installer): remove hardcoded 'bmad' prefix from files-manifest.csv paths (#1043)
The manifest writer hardcoded 'bmad' as the path prefix regardless of
the actual folder name (.bmad, bmad, etc). The reader had a matching
hardcoded strip, so it worked by accident.

Now paths are stored relative to bmadDir without any prefix. Legacy
fallback strips 'bmad/' on read - safe because no real path inside
bmadDir would start with 'bmad/'.

feat(installer): Enhanced TTS injection summary with tracking and documentation (#1037)
## Summary
- Track all files with TTS injection applied during installation
- Display informative summary explaining what TTS injection does
- Show backup location and restore command for recovery

## What is TTS Injection?
TTS (Text-to-Speech) injection adds voice instructions to BMAD agents,
enabling them to speak their responses aloud using AgentVibes.

Example: When you activate the PM agent, it will greet you with
spoken audio like "Hey! I'm your Project Manager. How can I help?"

## Changes
- **installer.js**: Track files in `processAgentFiles()`, `buildStandaloneAgents()`,
  and `rebuildAgentFiles()` when TTS markers are processed
- **compiler.js**: Add TTS injection support for custom agent compilation
- **ui.js**: Enhanced installation summary showing:
  - Explanation of what TTS injection is with example
  - List of all files with TTS injection applied (grouped by type)
  - Backup location (~/.bmad-tts-backups/)
  - Restore command for recovery

## Example Output
```
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
            AgentVibes TTS Injection Summary
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════

What is TTS Injection?

  TTS (Text-to-Speech) injection adds voice instructions to BMAD agents,
  enabling them to speak their responses aloud using AgentVibes.

  Example: When you activate the PM agent, it will greet you with
  spoken audio like "Hey! I'm your Project Manager. How can I help?"

 TTS injection applied to 11 file(s):

  Party Mode (multi-agent conversations):
    • .bmad/core/workflows/party-mode/instructions.md
  Agent TTS (individual agent voices):
    • .bmad/bmm/agents/analyst.md
    • .bmad/bmm/agents/architect.md
    ...

Backups & Recovery:

  Pre-injection backups are stored in:
    ~/.bmad-tts-backups/

  To restore original files (removes TTS instructions):
    bmad-tts-injector.sh --restore /path/to/.bmad
```

Brian Madison 4539ca7436 feat: implement granular step-file workflow architecture with multi-menu support
## Major Features Added
- **Step-file workflow architecture**: Transform monolithic workflows into granular step files for improved LLM adherence and consistency
- **Multi-menu handler system**: New `handler-multi.xml` enables grouped menu items with fuzzy matching
- **Workflow compliance checker**: Added automated compliance validation for all workflows
- **Create/edit agent workflows**: New structured workflows for agent creation and editing

## Workflow Enhancements
- **Create-workflow**: Expanded from 6 to 14 detailed steps covering tools, design, compliance
- **Granular step execution**: Each workflow step now has dedicated files for focused execution
- **New documentation**: Added CSV data standards, intent vs prescriptive spectrum, and common tools reference

## Complete Migration Status
- **4 workflows fully migrated**: `create-agent`, `edit-agent`, `create-workflow`, and `edit-workflow` now use the new granular step-file architecture
- **Legacy transformation**: `edit-workflow` includes built-in capability to transform legacy single-file workflows into the new improved granular format
- **Future cleanup**: Legacy versions will be removed in a future commit after validation

## Schema Updates
- **Multi-menu support**: Updated agent schema to support `triggers` array for grouped menu items
- **Legacy compatibility**: Maintains backward compatibility with single `trigger` field
- **Discussion enhancements**: Added conversational_knowledge recommendation for discussion agents

## File Structure Changes
- Added: `create-agent/`, `edit-agent/`, `edit-workflow/`, `workflow-compliance-check/` workflows
- Added: Documentation standards and CSV reference files
- Refactored: `create-workflow/steps/` with detailed granular step files

## Handler Improvements
- Enhanced `handler-exec.xml` with clearer execution instructions
- Improved data passing context for executed files
- Better error handling and user guidance

This architectural change significantly improves workflow execution consistency across all LLM models by breaking complex processes into manageable, focused steps. The edit-workflow transformation tool ensures smooth migration of existing workflows to the new format.

Brian Madison 2cac74cfb5 agent vibes injection and installer update 2025-11-26 11:00:46 -06:00
Paul Preibisch 5702195ef7
Add Text-to-Speech Integration via TTS_INJECTION System (#934)
* feat: Add provider-agnostic TTS integration via injection point system

Implements comprehensive Text-to-Speech integration for BMAD agents using a generic
TTS_INJECTION marker system. When AgentVibes (or any compatible TTS provider) is
installed, all BMAD agents can speak their responses with unique AI voices.

## Key Features

**Provider-Agnostic Architecture**
- Uses generic `TTS_INJECTION` markers instead of vendor-specific naming
- Future-proof for multiple TTS providers beyond AgentVibes
- Clean separation - BMAD stays TTS-agnostic, providers handle injection

**Installation Flow**
- BMAD → AgentVibes: TTS instructions injected when AgentVibes detects existing BMAD installation
- AgentVibes → BMAD: TTS instructions injected during BMAD installation when AgentVibes detected
- User must manually create voice assignment file when AgentVibes installs first (documented limitation)

**Party Mode Voice Support**
- Each agent speaks with unique assigned voice in multi-agent discussions
- PM, Architect, Developer, Analyst, UX Designer, etc. - all with distinct voices

**Zero Breaking Changes**
- Fully backward compatible - works without any TTS provider
- `TTS_INJECTION` markers are benign HTML comments if not processed
- No changes to existing agent behavior or non-TTS workflows

## Implementation Details

**Files Modified:**
- `tools/cli/installers/lib/core/installer.js` - TTS injection processing logic
- `tools/cli/lib/ui.js` - AgentVibes detection and installation prompts
- `tools/cli/commands/install.js` - Post-install guidance for AgentVibes setup
- `src/utility/models/fragments/activation-rules.xml` - TTS_INJECTION marker for agents
- `src/core/workflows/party-mode/instructions.md` - TTS_INJECTION marker for party mode

**Injection Point System:**
```xml
<rules>
  - ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}
  <!-- TTS_INJECTION:agent-tts -->
  - Stay in character until exit selected
</rules>
```

When AgentVibes is detected, the installer replaces this marker with:
```
- When responding to user messages, speak your responses using TTS:
  Call: `.claude/hooks/bmad-speak.sh '{agent-id}' '{response-text}'` after each response
  IMPORTANT: Use single quotes - do NOT escape special characters like ! or $
```

**Special Character Handling:**
- Explicit guidance to use single quotes without escaping
- Prevents "backslash exclamation" artifacts in speech

**User Experience:**
```
User: "How should we architect this feature?"
Architect: [Text response] + 🔊 [Professional voice explains architecture]
```

Party Mode:
```
PM (John): "I'll focus on user value..." 🔊 [Male professional voice]
UX Designer (Sara): "From a user perspective..." 🔊 [Female voice]
Architect (Marcus): "The technical approach..." 🔊 [Male technical voice]
```

## Testing

**Unit Tests:**  62/62 passing
- 49/49 schema validation tests
- 13/13 installation component tests

**Integration Testing:**
-  BMAD → AgentVibes (automatic injection)
-  AgentVibes → BMAD (automatic injection)
-  No TTS provider (markers remain as comments)

## Documentation

Comprehensive testing guide created with:
- Both installation scenario walkthroughs
- Verification commands and expected outputs
- Troubleshooting guidance

## Known Limitations

**AgentVibes → BMAD Installation Order:**
When AgentVibes installs first, voice assignment file must be created manually:
```bash
mkdir -p .bmad/_cfg
cat > .bmad/_cfg/agent-voice-map.csv << 'EOF'
agent_id,voice_name
pm,en_US-ryan-high
architect,en_US-danny-low
dev,en_US-joe-medium
EOF
```

This limitation exists to prevent false legacy v4 detection warnings from BMAD installer.

**Recommended:** Install BMAD first, then AgentVibes for automatic voice assignment.

## Related Work

**Companion Implementation:**
- Repository: paulpreibisch/AgentVibes
- Commits: 6 commits implementing injection processing and voice routing
- Features: Retroactive injection, file path extraction, escape stripping

**GitHub Issues:**
- paulpreibisch/AgentVibes#36 - BMAD agent ID support

## Breaking Changes

None. Feature is opt-in and requires separate TTS provider installation.

* fix: Enforce project hooks over global hooks in party mode

before, claude would sometimes favor global agent vibes hooks over project specific

* feat: Automate AgentVibes installer invocation after BMAD install

Instead of showing manual installation instructions, the installer now:
- Prompts "Press Enter to start AgentVibes installer..."
- Automatically runs npx agentvibes@latest install
- Handles errors gracefully with fallback instructions

This provides a seamless installation flow matching the test script's
interactive approach.

  - Interactive mode selection (official PR or custom fork)
  - Automatic BMAD CLI setup and linking
  - AgentVibes installation with guided prompts
  - Built-in verification checks for voice maps and hooks
  - Saved configuration for quick re-testing

- TESTING.md: Complete testing documentation
  - Quick start with one-line npx command
  - Manual installation alternative
  - Troubleshooting guide
  - Cleanup instructions

Testers can now run a single command to test the full AgentVibes integration
without needing to understand the complex setup process.

* fix: Add shell: true to npx execSync to prevent permission denied error

The execSync call for 'npx agentvibes@latest install' was failing with
'Permission denied' because the shell was trying to execute 'agentvibes@latest'
directly instead of passing it as an argument to npx.

Adding shell: true ensures the command runs in a proper shell context
where npx can correctly interpret the @latest version syntax.

* fix: Remove duplicate AgentVibes installation step from test script

The test script was calling AgentVibes installer twice:
1. BMAD installer now automatically runs AgentVibes (new feature)
2. Test script had a separate Step 6 that also ran AgentVibes

This caused the installer to run twice, with the second call failing
because it was already installed.

Changes:
- Removed redundant Step 6 (AgentVibes installation)
- Updated Step 5 to indicate it includes AgentVibes
- Updated step numbers from 7 to 6 throughout
- Added guidance that AgentVibes runs automatically

Now the flow is cleaner: BMAD installer handles everything!

* fix: Address bmadcode review - preserve variables and move TTS logic to injection

Fixes requested changes from PR review:

1. Preserve {bmad_folder} variable placeholder
   - Changed: {project_root}/.bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
   - To: {project_root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml
   - Allows users to choose custom BMAD folder names during installation

2. Move TTS-specific hook guidance to injection system
   - Removed hardcoded hook enforcement from source files
   - Added hook guidance to processTTSInjectionPoints() in installer.js
   - Now only appears when AgentVibes is installed (via TTS_INJECTION)

3. Maintain TTS-agnostic source architecture
   - Source files remain clean of TTS-specific instructions
   - TTS details injected at install-time only when needed
   - Preserves provider-agnostic design principle

Changes made:
- src/core/workflows/party-mode/instructions.md
  - Reverted .bmad to {bmad_folder} variable
  - Replaced hardcoded hook guidance with <!-- TTS_INJECTION:party-mode -->
  - Removed <note> about play-tts.sh hook location

- tools/cli/installers/lib/core/installer.js
  - Added hook enforcement to party-mode injection replacement
  - Guidance now injected only when enableAgentVibes is true

Addresses review comments from bmadcode:
- "needs to remain the variable. it will get set in the file at the install destination."
- "items like this we will need to inject if user is using claude and TTS"

* fix: Change 'claude-code' to 'claude' in test script instructions

The correct command to start Claude is 'claude', not 'claude-code'.
Updated line 362-363 in test-bmad-pr.sh to show the correct command.

* fix: Remove npm link from test script to avoid global namespace pollution

- Removed 'npm link' command that was installing BMAD globally
- Changed 'bmad install' to direct node execution using local clone
- Updated success message to reflect no global installation

This keeps testing fully isolated and prevents conflicts with:
- Existing BMAD installations
- Future official BMAD installs
- Orphaned symlinks when test directory is deleted

The test script now runs completely self-contained without modifying
the user's global npm environment.

Brian Madison 6907d44810 fix: display proper persona names in custom agent manifests
## Problem
Custom agents showed generic names (like "Commit Poet") instead of their
actual persona names (like "Inkwell Von Comitizen") in the agent manifest.

## Root Cause
The extractManifestData function was using metadata.name/title instead of
extracting the persona name from the compiled agent XML.

## Solution
1. Added extractAgentAttribute function to pull attributes from <agent> tag
2. Prioritize XML extraction over metadata for persona info:
   - displayName: uses agent title attribute from XML
   - title: uses agent title attribute from XML
   - icon: uses agent icon attribute from XML
   - Falls back to metadata if XML extraction fails

## Result
Custom agents now display their actual persona names in manifests:
- Before: "Commit Poet"
- After: "Inkwell Von Comitizen"

This provides better user experience with proper agent identification
in IDE integrations and manifests.

Brian Madison 2edadd11ae fix: add custom agent support to Antigravity IDE
## Problem
Custom agents were only installing to Claude Code (.claude/commands/)
but not to Antigravity (.agent/) or other IDEs that lack installCustomAgentLauncher function.

## Root Cause
Antigravity was missing the installCustomAgentLauncher function that the
IdeManager calls to install custom agents during agent installation.

## Solution
Added installCustomAgentLauncher function to Antigravity that:
- Creates .agent directory if needed
- Generates custom agent launchers with @agentPath references
- Uses same pattern as existing Antigravity agent launchers
- Returns proper installation result for tracking

## Result
Custom agents now install to:
- Claude Code: .claude/commands/bmad/custom/agents/ 
- Antigravity: .agent/bmad-custom-agents-{agentName}.md 
- Codex: (already working) 

All configured IDEs now receive custom agent installations!

Update reinstallCustomAgents to check all locations:
1. _cfg/custom/agents/ (backup location)
2. {bmad-folder}/custom/src/agents/ (source in BMAD folder)
3. {project-root}/custom/src/agents/ (source at project root)

## Changes
- Search multiple locations for agents during compile
- Avoid duplicate processing with Set tracking
- Auto-backup source YAML to _cfg/custom/agents/ if needed
- Works with any custom bmad_folder name from config

Now 'Compile Agents' works with agents in any source location!

Brian Madison c57ada4d9c feat: improve agent creation workflow and documentation
## BMB Agent Workflow Improvements
- Always create folders for agents (even simple ones)
- Add compact info-and-installation-guide.md (20 lines max)
- Include installation guide with every created agent
- Update workflow to use standalone_output_folder structure

## Documentation Updates
- Clarify --defaults makes installation non-interactive
- Update all parameter documentation for clarity
- Fix npm package references (bmad-method only)

## New Agent Structure
Every agent now gets:
  agent-folder/
  ├── agent-name.agent.yaml    # Source YAML
  └── info-and-installation-guide.md  # Quick install guide + description

## Quick Install Commands (added to guide)
- Interactive: npx bmad-method agent-install --source ./agent.yaml
- Non-interactive: npx bmad-method agent-install --source ./agent.yaml --defaults

This makes agent installation much more user-friendly and consistent.

Brian Madison 05cbc6ccb8 feat: rename agent-install parameters for clarity
- Change --path → --source (much clearer purpose)
- Change --target → --destination (more intuitive)
- Update all code references and documentation
- Add advanced parameter examples to installation guide
- Keep short aliases: -s for --source, -t for --destination

Parameters are now much more self-explanatory:
- --source: where to find the agent YAML
- --destination: where to install the compiled agent

fix: remove .agent from gitignore for Antigravity workflow access (#953)
Antigravity respects .gitignore rules which blocks access to workflow files
in .agent/workflows/, preventing custom workflows from being discovered.
Removing .agent from gitignore to allow Antigravity to scan workflow files.

Note: Codex and Claude Code ignore .gitignore when scanning for custom
prompts, so this only affects Antigravity users.

Chore/update gitignore (#945)
* feat: Add Google Antigravity IDE installer

Implements installer for Google Antigravity IDE with flattened slash command
naming to match Antigravity's namespace requirements.

Key features:
- Flattened file naming (bmad-module-agents-name.md) for proper slash commands
- Subagent installation support (project-level or user-level)
- Module-specific injection configuration
- Agent, workflow, task, and tool command generation

Implementation:
- Added AntigravitySetup class extending BaseIdeSetup
- Extracted flattenFilename() to BaseIdeSetup for reuse across IDE handlers
- Uses .agent/workflows directory structure
- Supports both interactive and non-interactive configuration

Fixes:
- Proper namespace isolation: /bmad-module-agents-dev instead of /dev
- Prevents conflicts between modules with same agent names

Note: This installer shares 95% of its code with claude-code.js.
Future refactoring could extract common patterns to IdeWithSlashCommandsSetup
base class (see design documents for details).

Brian Madison f17e4ef0b7 refactor(bmm,cis,core): Align diagram workflows with agile roles and distribute capabilities
## The Tale of the Frame Expert

Once upon a time, BMad Method had a specialized agent called Frame Expert.
This agent was the master of all visual artifacts - flowcharts, diagrams,
wireframes, data flows. Whenever anyone needed a diagram, they called upon
Frame Expert. The agent lived in its own isolated domain with four dedicated
workflows and a library of shared templates.

## The Awakening

But something felt wrong. Teams using BMad Method were meant to mirror real
agile teams - Product Managers, Architects, UX Designers, Tech Writers,
Developers. Each agent represented an authentic role you'd find in any
software team.

Except Frame Expert.

No real agile team has a "Frame Expert" or "Diagram Specialist" who creates
all visual artifacts. In real teams, Architects diagram system architecture.
PMs flowchart processes. UX Designers wireframe interfaces. Tech Writers
create documentation diagrams. The visuals emerge from the domain experts
who need them, not from a centralized diagram factory.

Frame Expert was an abstraction that made technical sense but violated the
very soul of BMad Method - authentic agile role modeling.

## The Transformation

And so Frame Expert was dissolved, its knowledge distributed to those who
truly needed it:

**The Architect** inherited system architecture diagrams and data flows -
the blueprints of technical systems they design.

**The Product Manager** received process flowcharts - the visual maps of
features and workflows they orchestrate.

**The UX Designer** claimed wireframes - the interface sketches that bring
their vision to life.

**The Tech Writer** gained all diagram types - the visual aids that clarify
their documentation.

Each agent now creates diagrams in their domain, using their expertise,
serving their purpose.

## The Shared Knowledge

But the wisdom of diagram creation itself - the Excalidraw templates, the
component libraries, the validation patterns - this knowledge was too
valuable to scatter. It was elevated to core resources, where both BMM
agents AND the new CIS presentation-master agent could draw upon it.

Shared infrastructure for common needs. Distributed execution for domain
expertise.

## The Ripple Effects

With diagrams now properly distributed, other misalignments became visible:

Epic creation was happening in Phase 2 (Planning), before Architecture
existed. But epics need architectural context - API contracts, data models,
technical decisions. So epic creation migrated to Phase 3 (Solutioning),
after Architecture provides that foundation.

Workflow paths were updated. Documentation gained visual flowcharts showing
the complete journey. Agent naming standards were clarified - filenames are
stable roles, persona names are user dreams.

## What Changed

**Removed:**
- frame-expert.agent.yaml (the centralized specialist)
- All frame-expert workflows and shared resources
- Phase 2 epic creation workflow (wrong timing)
- game-design workflow path (consolidated to method track)
- v6-open-items.md (planning doc, now complete)

**Distributed Diagram Capabilities:**
- Architect: create-excalidraw-diagram, create-excalidraw-dataflow
- PM: create-excalidraw-flowchart
- Tech Writer: create-excalidraw-{diagram,dataflow,flowchart}, generate-mermaid
- UX Designer: create-excalidraw-wireframe

**Created:**
- src/core/resources/ (shared diagram context for all modules)
- src/modules/cis/agents/presentation-master.agent.yaml (visual comms specialist)
- src/modules/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/create-epics-and-stories/ (epic creation's new home)
- src/modules/bmm/workflows/diagrams/ (distributed diagram implementations)
- src/modules/bmm/docs/images/ (workflow visualization assets)

**Enhanced:**
- All agent definitions with domain-appropriate diagram workflows
- Documentation with embedded workflow diagrams and visual guides
- Agent compilation docs with critical naming convention rules
- All 4 workflow paths (enterprise/method × brownfield/greenfield)

**Fixed:**
- Epic creation now in Phase 3 after Architecture
- Story context path variables in BMGD module
- PRD workflow descriptions (epics moved to Phase 3)

## For Users

The Frame Expert commands are gone. In their place:

- Need architecture diagrams? Ask `/architect`
- Need process flows? Ask `/pm`
- Need wireframes? Ask `/ux-designer`
- Need documentation visuals? Ask `/tech-writer`

Each expert creates diagrams in their domain, with their context, using
their judgment.

This is how real teams work.

Brian Madison 224af173ef feat: Comprehensive edit-agent workflow enhancement with Expert agent support and unified validation
## Overview
Major enhancement to edit-agent workflow to match create-agent quality standards, plus critical addition of Expert agent sidecar file support and consolidation of validation checklists into single source of truth.

## 1. edit-agent Workflow Comprehensive Enhancement

### Documentation Reference Updates (workflow.yaml)
**Fixed all broken references** - replaced deleted docs with new comprehensive guides:
-  Removed: agent-types.md, agent-architecture.md, agent-command-patterns.md, communication-styles.md
-  Added structured references:
  * Core Concepts: understanding_agent_types, agent_compilation
  * Architecture Guides: simple_architecture, expert_architecture, module_architecture
  * Design Patterns: menu_patterns, communication_presets, brainstorm_context
  * Reference Agents: commit-poet, journal-keeper, module examples, BMM agents

### Critical Persona Field Guidance Added (instructions.md +59 lines)
**The #1 issue in legacy agents** - comprehensive guidance on persona field separation:

- Explains how LLMs interpret each field:
  * role → "What knowledge/skills/capabilities do I possess?"
  * identity → "What background/experience/context shapes my responses?"
  * communication_style → "What verbal patterns/word choice do I use?"
  * principles → "What beliefs/philosophy drive my choices?"

- BEFORE/AFTER examples showing common mistakes
- Red flag word detection guide (ensures, experienced, believes in, etc.)
- Pure communication style examples from reference agents

### Enhanced Step 1: Analysis (instructions.md +57 lines)
- References all new comprehensive documentation
- **CRITICAL: Persona field separation analysis**
  * Checks for behaviors/role/identity mixed into communication_style
  * Compares against communication_presets for purity
  * Compares against reference agents for quality
- Warm, conversational feedback explaining issues found

### Massive Step 3 Enhancement: Communication Style Refinement (+122 lines)
**7-step prescriptive pattern for fixing the #1 quality issue:**

1. Diagnose Current Communication Style - red flag word detection
2. Extract Non-Style Content - working copy methodology
3. Discover TRUE Communication Style - interview questions + preset exploration
4. Craft Pure Communication Style - good/bad examples from references
5. Show Before/After With Full Context - complete transformation
6. Validate Against Standards - zero red flags, compare to presets/references
7. Confirm With User - explain changes, read dramatically, refine

Examples from actual reference agents:
- "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue" (Mary/analyst)
- "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs" (Amelia/dev)
- "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase" (commit-poet)

### Legacy Type Migration Pattern (+42 lines)
**Comprehensive guide for full/hybrid/standalone → Simple/Expert/Module migration:**

- Clear explanations of modern types (architecture, NOT capability)
- Migration patterns with decision tree
- Structural conversion guides (Simple ↔ Expert)
- Module = design intent clarification

### Enhanced Validation (Step 4)
- Persona field separation validation emphasized
- Updated success message with all quality standards
- Comprehensive checklist validation

### Complete README Documentation (200 lines created)
- Purpose emphasizing persona field separation as #1 issue
- 14 common editing scenarios (persona separation listed FIRST)
- Complete doc reference listing by category
- Dedicated "Critical: Persona Field Separation" section
- Red flag words guide
- 3 detailed usage scenarios
- Quality standards checklist

## 2. Expert Agent Sidecar File Support (NEW)

### Step 1: Smart Path Detection and Loading (+35 lines)
**Automatically detects and loads based on path type:**

```yaml
If path is .agent.yaml → Simple Agent (load single file)
If path is folder → Expert Agent:
  - Load .agent.yaml from inside folder
  - Load ALL sidecar files (*.md, *.txt, *.csv, *.json, *.yaml)
  - Create inventory for reference
  - Present: "Loaded agent.yaml + 5 sidecar files: [list]"
```

**Sidecar analysis:**
- Maps which menu items reference which sidecar files (tmpl="path", data="path")
- Checks if all sidecar references actually exist
- Identifies unused/orphaned sidecar files
- Assesses sidecar organization

**Warm expert agent feedback:**
"This is beautifully organized as an Expert agent! The sidecar files include 3 journal templates (daily, weekly, breakthrough) and a mood-patterns knowledge file. Your menu items reference them nicely. I do notice 'old-template.md' isn't referenced anywhere - we could clean that up."

### Step 3: Sidecar Editing Patterns (+47 lines)
**5 complete sidecar editing scenarios:**

1. **Updating templates** - Edit content, verify references work, test variables
2. **Adding new sidecar files** - Create file + add menu item with reference
3. **Removing unused sidecar files** - Confirm unused, ask to delete, clean references
4. **Reorganizing sidecar structure** - Move files, update ALL YAML references
5. **Updating knowledge base files** - Edit .csv/.json/.yaml data directly

**Critical mindset:** "Sidecar files are as much a part of the agent as the YAML!"

### Step 4: Sidecar Validation (+16 lines)
**Conversational validation:**
- "Your menu item 'daily-journal' references 'templates/daily.md'... checking... ✓ exists!"
- Check for orphaned files not referenced anywhere
- Verify sidecar file formats (YAML parses, CSV has headers, markdown well-formed)
- Success message: "✓ All sidecar file references valid - 5 sidecar files, all referenced correctly!"

### README Updates
- "What You'll Need" distinguishes Simple vs Expert paths
- Scenario 2b: Complete Expert agent editing example (journal-keeper template update)
- Updated common scenarios list

## 3. Unified Validation Checklist (Single Source of Truth)

### Problem Solved
- create-agent had outdated checklist (62 lines, no persona field separation)
- edit-agent had enhanced checklist (112 lines, with our improvements)
- Risk of drift and inconsistency between workflows

### Solution: agent-validation-checklist.md (160 lines)
**Canonical location:** `/src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/`

**Comprehensive coverage combining best of both:**
- YAML structure validation
- **Persona field separation** (field separation check, purity check, quality benchmarking)
- Menu validation (including sidecar file path validation)
- Type-specific validation (Simple/Expert/Module)
- Compilation validation
- Common issues and fixes section

**Key sections:**
- Persona Validation (CRITICAL - #1 Quality Issue)
  * Field Separation Check (what belongs where)
  * Communication Style Purity Check (red flag word detection)
  * Quality Benchmarking (compare to presets and references)
- Expert Agent validation (9 sidecar-specific checks)
- Module Agent validation (design intent verification)
- Common Issues and Fixes (real examples with solutions)

### References Updated
**create-agent/workflow.yaml:**
```yaml
validation: "{installed_path}/agent-validation-checklist.md"
```

**edit-agent/workflow.yaml:**
```yaml
# Shared validation checklist (canonical location in create-agent folder)
validation: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/workflows/create-agent/agent-validation-checklist.md"
```

**edit-agent/instructions.md:**
```xml
<note>The validation checklist is shared between create-agent and edit-agent workflows to ensure consistent quality standards.</note>
```

### Files Changed
-  Created: agent-validation-checklist.md (160 lines)
-  Deleted: create-agent/checklist.md (62 lines)
-  Deleted: edit-agent/checklist.md (112 lines)
- Updated: Both workflow.yaml files to reference unified checklist

## Statistics

**Overall changes:** 6 files changed, +553 insertions, -264 deletions

**edit-agent enhancements:**
- instructions.md: +396 lines (comprehensive guidance)
- README.md: +213 lines (complete documentation)
- workflow.yaml: +32 lines (proper doc references)

**Validation unification:**
- Net result: Better quality, less duplication, easier maintenance
- Single source of truth for all agent validation

## Impact

### For Users Editing Agents
- Automatically detects and handles Expert agents with sidecar files
- Clear guidance on fixing #1 issue (persona field separation)
- 7-step prescriptive pattern for communication style refinement
- Warm, educational feedback throughout
- Validates against same standards as create-agent

### For Agent Quality
- Both create and edit workflows use same validation standards
- Persona field separation gets proper attention
- Expert agent sidecar files treated as first-class citizens
- Legacy agents can be migrated to modern standards
- All agents validated against reference implementations

### For Maintenance
- ONE checklist to maintain instead of two
- Consistent quality standards across workflows
- Documentation properly linked to new comprehensive guides
- No risk of checklist drift

This brings edit-agent to the same quality level as create-agent while adding critical Expert agent support and establishing single source of truth for validation.

Brian Madison 054b031c1d feat: Complete BMAD agent creation system with install tooling, references, and field guidance
## Overview
This commit represents a complete overhaul of the BMAD agent creation system, establishing clear standards for agent development, installation workflows, and persona design. The changes span documentation, tooling, reference implementations, and field-specific guidance.

## Key Components

### 1. Agent Installation Infrastructure
**New CLI Command: `agent-install`**
- Interactive agent installation with persona customization
- Supports Simple (single YAML), Expert (sidecar files), and Module agents
- Template variable processing with Handlebars-style syntax
- Automatic compilation from YAML to XML (.md) format
- Manifest tracking and IDE integration (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
- Source preservation in `_cfg/custom/agents/` for reinstallation

**Files Created:**
- `tools/cli/commands/agent-install.js` - Main CLI command
- `tools/cli/lib/agent/compiler.js` - YAML to XML compilation engine
- `tools/cli/lib/agent/installer.js` - Installation orchestration
- `tools/cli/lib/agent/template-engine.js` - Handlebars template processing

**Compiler Features:**
- Auto-injects frontmatter, activation, handlers, help/exit menu items
- Smart handler inclusion (only includes action/workflow/exec/tmpl handlers actually used)
- Proper XML escaping and formatting
- Persona name customization (e.g., "Fred the Commit Poet")

### 2. Documentation Overhaul
**Deleted Bloated/Outdated Docs (2,651 lines removed):**
- Old verbose architecture docs
- Redundant pattern files
- Outdated workflow guides

**Created Focused, Type-Specific Docs:**
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/understanding-agent-types.md` - Architecture vs capability distinction
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/simple-agent-architecture.md` - Self-contained agents
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/expert-agent-architecture.md` - Agents with sidecar files
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/module-agent-architecture.md` - Workflow-integrated agents
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/agent-compilation.md` - YAML → XML process
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/agent-menu-patterns.md` - Menu design patterns
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/index.md` - Documentation hub

**Net Result:** ~1,930 line reduction while adding MORE value through focused content

### 3. Create-Agent Workflow Enhancements
**Critical Persona Field Guidance Added to Step 4:**
Explains how the LLM interprets each persona field when the agent activates:

- **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, quirks, 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 restate role/identity/principles. The `communication-presets.csv` provides 60 pure communication styles with NO role/identity/principles mixed in.

**Files Updated:**
- `src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/instructions.md` - Added persona field interpretation guide
- `src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/brainstorm-context.md` - Refined to 137 lines
- `src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/communication-presets.csv` - 60 styles across 13 categories

### 4. Reference Agent Cleanup
**Removed install_config Personality Bloat:**
Understanding: Future installer will handle personality customization, so stripped all personality toggles from reference agents.

**commit-poet.agent.yaml** (Simple Agent):
- BEFORE: 36 personality combinations (3 enthusiasm × 3 depths × 4 styles) = decision fatigue
- AFTER: Single concise persona with pure communication style
- Changed from verbose conditionals to: "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase. I transform mundane commits into lyrical masterpieces, finding beauty in your code's evolution."
- Reduction: 248 lines → 153 lines (38% reduction)

**journal-keeper.agent.yaml** (Expert Agent):
- Stripped install_config, simplified communication_style
- Shows proper Expert agent structure with sidecar files

**security-engineer.agent.yaml & trend-analyst.agent.yaml** (Module Agents):
- Added header comments explaining WHY Module Agent (design intent, not just location)
- Clarified: Module agents are designed FOR ecosystem integration, not capability-limited

**Files Updated:**
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/simple-examples/commit-poet.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/expert-examples/journal-keeper/journal-keeper.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/module-examples/security-engineer.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/module-examples/trend-analyst.agent.yaml`

### 5. BMM Agent Voice Enhancement
**Gave all 9 BMM agents distinct, memorable communication voices:**

**Mary (analyst)** - The favorite! Changed from generic "systematic and probing" to:
"Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue, thrilled when patterns emerge. Asks questions that spark 'aha!' moments while structuring insights with precision."

**Other Notable Voices:**
- **John (pm):** "Asks 'WHY?' relentlessly like a detective on a case. Direct and data-sharp, cuts through fluff to what actually matters."
- **Winston (architect):** "Speaks in calm, pragmatic tones, balancing 'what could be' with 'what should be.' Champions boring technology that actually works."
- **Amelia (dev):** "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs - every statement citable. No fluff, all precision."
- **Bob (sm):** "Crisp and checklist-driven. Every word has a purpose, every requirement crystal clear. Zero tolerance for ambiguity."
- **Sally (ux-designer):** "Paints pictures with words, telling user stories that make you FEEL the problem. Empathetic advocate with creative storytelling flair."

**Pattern Applied:** Moved behaviors from communication_style to principles, keeping communication_style as PURE verbal patterns.

**Files Updated:**
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/analyst.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/pm.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/architect.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/dev.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/sm.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/tea.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/tech-writer.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/ux-designer.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/frame-expert.agent.yaml`

### 6. Linting Fixes
**ESLint Compliance:**
- Replaced all `'utf-8'` with `'utf8'` (unicorn/text-encoding-identifier-case)
- Changed `variables.hasOwnProperty(varName)` to `Object.hasOwn(variables, varName)` (unicorn/prefer-object-has-own)
- Replaced `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(...))` with `structuredClone(...)` (unicorn/prefer-structured-clone)
- Fixed empty YAML mapping values in sample files

**Files Fixed:**
- 7 JavaScript files across agent tooling (compiler, installer, commands, IDE integration)
- 1 YAML sample file

## Architecture Decisions

### Agent Types Are About Architecture, Not Capability
- **Simple:** Self-contained in single YAML (NOT limited in capability)
- **Expert:** Includes sidecar files (templates, docs, etc.)
- **Module:** Designed for BMAD ecosystem integration (workflows, cross-agent coordination)

### Persona Field Separation Critical for LLM Interpretation
The LLM needs distinct fields to understand its role:
- Mixing role/identity/principles into communication_style confuses the persona
- Pure communication styles (from communication-presets.csv) have ZERO role/identity/principles content
- Example DON'T: "Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches..." (mixing identity + style)
- Example DO: "Systematic and probing. Structures findings hierarchically." (pure style)

### Install-Time vs Runtime Configuration
- Template variables ({{var}}) resolve at compile-time
- Runtime variables ({user_name}, {bmad_folder}) resolve when agent activates
- Future installer will handle personality customization, so agents should ship with single default persona

## Testing
- All linting passes (ESLint with max-warnings=0)
- Agent compilation tested with commit-poet, journal-keeper examples
- Install workflow validated with Simple and Expert agent types
- Manifest tracking and IDE integration verified

## Impact
This establishes BMAD as having a complete, production-ready agent creation and installation system with:
- Clear documentation for all agent types
- Automated compilation and installation
- Strong persona design guidance

feat: Add Google Antigravity IDE installer (#938)
Implements installer for Google Antigravity IDE with flattened slash command
naming to match Antigravity's namespace requirements.

Key features:
- Flattened file naming (bmad-module-agents-name.md) for proper slash commands
- Subagent installation support (project-level or user-level)
- Module-specific injection configuration
- Agent, workflow, task, and tool command generation

Implementation:
- Added AntigravitySetup class extending BaseIdeSetup
- Extracted flattenFilename() to BaseIdeSetup for reuse across IDE handlers
- Uses .agent/workflows directory structure
- Supports both interactive and non-interactive configuration

Fixes:
- Proper namespace isolation: /bmad-module-agents-dev instead of /dev
- Prevents conflicts between modules with same agent names

Note: This installer shares 95% of its code with claude-code.js.
Future refactoring could extract common patterns to IdeWithSlashCommandsSetup
base class (see design documents for details).

feat: Add project-specific installation option for Codex CLI (#937)
Add support for choosing between global and project-specific installation
locations for Codex CLI prompts with CODEX_HOME configuration instructions.

Changes:
- Add collectConfiguration() to prompt for installation location (default: global)
- Support global (~/.codex/prompts) and project-specific (<project>/.codex/prompts)
- Display OS-specific CODEX_HOME setup instructions before user confirms
- Update detect() and cleanup() to handle both installation locations

Installation options:
- Global: Simple, works immediately, but prompts reference specific .bmad path
- Project-specific: Requires CODEX_HOME, better for multi-project workflows
  - Unix/Mac: alias codex='CODEX_HOME="$PWD/.codex" codex'
  - Windows: codex.cmd wrapper with %~dp0

Fix: Add prompts and memories merging from customize.yaml (#889)
- Add merging logic for customizeYaml.prompts and customizeYaml.memories in loadAndMergeAgent()
- Implement buildMemoriesXml() method to output memories XML section
- Update buildPromptsXml() to use <content> wrapper instead of CDATA for better compatibility
- Integrate memories output into convertToXml() between persona and prompts sections

Changes:
1. Line 123-131: Added prompts and memories append logic in loadAndMergeAgent()
2. Line 215-218: Added memories XML output in convertToXml()
3. Line 286-301: New buildMemoriesXml() method
4. Line 312-315: Updated prompts to use <content> wrapper for consistency

This allows users to customize agents via bmad/_cfg/agents/*.customize.yaml with:
- prompts: Array of {id, content} objects for action handlers
- memories: Array of strings for persistent agent memories

Brian Madison f14014f0c7 refactor: Major workflow enhancements - time estimates prohibition, progressive epic creation, and workflow simplification
## Key Changes

### 1. Time Estimate Prohibition (All Modules)
- Added critical warnings against providing ANY time estimates (hours/days/weeks/months)
- Acknowledges AI has fundamentally changed development speed
- Applied to 33 workflow instruction files across BMB, BMGD, BMM, and CIS modules
- Updated workflow creation guide with prohibition guidelines

### 2. Enhanced Epic Creation Workflow

- Detects available context (UX, Architecture, Domain brief, Product brief)
- Progressive enhancement: creates basic epics, then enriches with UX/Architecture
- Living document approach with continuous updates
- Added 305 lines of sophisticated workflow logic

### 3. Workflow Status Initialization Refactoring
- Simplified from 893 to 318 lines (65% reduction)
- Streamlined state detection: CLEAN, PLANNING, ACTIVE, LEGACY, UNCLEAR
- Cleaner path selection and initialization logic
- Removed redundant complexity while maintaining functionality

### 4. Workflow Path Updates
- Updated all 4 workflow paths (enterprise/method × brownfield/greenfield)
- Added multiple optional epic creation steps at different phases:
  - After PRD (basic structure)
  - After UX Design (with interaction context)
  - After Architecture (final with full context)
- Changed PRD output description from "with epics and stories" to "with FRs and NFRs"

### 5. Architecture & Innovation Updates
- Made epics input optional in architecture workflow (falls back to PRD FRs)
- Updated innovation strategy phases to remove time-based language
- Phases now: Immediate Impact → Foundation Building → Scale & Optimization

### Files Changed
- 33 instruction files updated with time estimate prohibition
- 2 workflow.yaml files updated (create-epics-and-stories, architecture)
- 4 workflow path YAML files updated

Remove hardcoded .bmad folder references throughout documentation and source files, replacing them with the configurable {bmad_folder} placeholder. This change enables users to customize the BMAD installation folder name via configuration, improving flexibility and reducing coupling to a specific directory structure.

Changes include:
- Update all documentation to reference {bmad_folder} instead of .bmad
- Remove legacy configuration files from .bmad and .claude directories
- Update workflow.xml and CLI documentation with new placeholder syntax

Brian Madison 48cf5c8056 feat(workflows): Implement intelligent file discovery protocol and Phase 4 BMGD workflows
## Core Workflow Engine Enhancements

### discover_inputs Protocol (MAJOR)
- Added reusable `discover_inputs` protocol to workflow.xml for intelligent file loading
- Supports three loading strategies:
  - FULL_LOAD: Load all shards for PRD, Architecture, UX (changed pattern from /index.md to /*/*.md)
  - SELECTIVE_LOAD: Load specific shard via template variable (e.g., epic-{{epic_num}}.md)
  - INDEX_GUIDED: Load index, analyze TOC, intelligently load relevant docs (with "DO NOT BE LAZY" mandate)
- Auto-discovers whole vs sharded documents with proper fallback
- Provides transparent reporting of loaded content with file counts
- Invoked via <invoke-protocol name="discover_inputs" /> tag in workflow instructions

### Advanced Elicitation Improvements
- Renamed adv-elicit.xml to advanced-elicitation.xml for clarity
- Updated all references across agents and commands

### Shard Document Tool Enhancement
- Added Step 6: Handle Original Document with three options:
  - [d] Delete - Remove original (recommended, prevents confusion)
  - [m] Move to archive - Backup original to archive folder
  - [k] Keep - Warning about defeating sharding purpose
- Prevents issue where both whole and sharded versions exist, confusing discover_inputs protocol

## BMM Module - Input File Pattern Standardization

### Phase 1 - Analysis (1 workflow)
- product-brief: Added load_strategy (FULL_LOAD for research/brainstorming, INDEX_GUIDED for document_project)
- Updated instructions.md to use invoke-protocol, replaced manual fuzzy matching

### Phase 2 - Planning (4 workflows)
- prd: Added load_strategy, updated instructions to reference {product_brief_content}, {research_content}
- create-ux-design: Added load_strategy, removed fuzzy matching from instructions
- tech-spec: Added load_strategy for brownfield context discovery
- All epics patterns updated to support SELECTIVE_LOAD for specific epic shards

### Phase 3 - Solutioning (2 workflows)
- architecture: Added load_strategy, updated instructions to use pre-loaded {prd_content}, {epics_content}, {ux_design_content}
- solutioning-gate-check: Added load_strategy, replaced manual discovery with protocol invocation

### Phase 4 - Implementation (8 workflows)
- code-review: Added load_strategy, fixed sharded patterns to /*/*.md, added step 1.5 for protocol
- correct-course: Added complete input_file_patterns section (was missing), added step 0.5
- create-story: Added load_strategy, updated to SELECTIVE_LOAD for epics, added step 1.5
- dev-story: Added complete input_file_patterns section (was missing), added step 0.5
- epic-tech-context: Added load_strategy, updated PRD extraction to use {prd_content}, added step 1.5
- retrospective: Added load_strategy for architecture/prd (FULL_LOAD), epics (SELECTIVE_LOAD), added step 0.5
- sprint-planning: Fixed sharded pattern to load ALL epics (/*/*.md), added step 0.5
- story-context: Added load_strategy, updated doc collection to reference pre-loaded content, added step 1.5

### Sprint Artifacts Path Corrections
- story-done: Added missing sprint_artifacts variable, fixed sprint_status path from {context_dir} to {sprint_artifacts}
- story-ready: Added missing sprint_artifacts variable
- story-context: Fixed undefined {context_dir} -> {sprint_artifacts}
- correct-course: Added sprint_artifacts and sprint_status variables

## BMGD Module - Phase 4 Production Workflows (NEW)

Added complete Phase 4 implementation workflows for game development:
- code-review: Senior developer review for completed game features
- correct-course: Sprint change management for game projects
- create-story: Story generation for game mechanics/features
- dev-story: Feature implementation workflow
- epic-tech-context: Technical spec generation per game epic
- retrospective: Epic completion review and lessons learned
- sprint-planning: Game development sprint status tracking
- story-context: Dynamic context assembly for game stories
- story-done: Story completion workflow
- story-ready: Story readiness workflow

All BMGD workflows follow BMM patterns with game-specific adaptations.

## Agent Updates

### BMM Agents
- Updated all 7 BMM agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, tech-writer, ux-designer)
- Standardized web bundle configurations

### BMGD Agents
- Updated 4 game development agents (game-architect, game-designer, game-dev, game-scrum-master)
- Aligned with BMM agent structure

### CIS Agents
- Updated 5 creative intelligence agents for consistency

## Documentation & Configuration

- Updated CHANGELOG.md with Phase 4 workflow additions
- Updated files-manifest.csv and task-manifest.csv
- Updated .claude commands for all agents
- Fixed formatting issues from previous commits

## Breaking Changes

NONE - All changes are backward compatible. Workflows without input_file_patterns continue to work.
Workflows with input_file_patterns now benefit from intelligent auto-loading.

## Migration Notes

Existing workflows can gradually adopt discover_inputs protocol by:
1. Adding load_strategy to existing input_file_patterns in workflow.yaml
2. Adding <invoke-protocol name="discover_inputs" /> step in instructions.md
3. Replacing manual file loading with references to {pattern_name_content} variables

Brian Madison 4d745532aa refactor(tech-spec): unify story generation and adopt intent-based approach
Major refactoring of tech-spec workflow for quick-flow projects:

## Unified Story Generation
- Consolidated instructions-level0-story.md and instructions-level1-stories.md into single instructions-generate-stories.md
- Always generates epic + stories (minimal epic for 1 story, detailed for multiple)
- Consistent naming: story-{epic-slug}-N.md for all stories (1-5)
- Eliminated branching logic and duplicate code

## Intent-Based Intelligence
- Removed 150+ lines of hardcoded stack detection examples (Node.js, Python, Ruby, Java, Go, Rust, PHP)
- Replaced prescriptive instructions with intelligent guidance that trusts LLM capabilities
- PHASE 2 stack detection now adapts to ANY project type automatically
- Step 2 discovery changed from scripted Q&A to adaptive conversation goals

## Terminology Updates
- Replaced "Level 0" and "Level 1" with "quick-flow" terminology throughout
- Updated to "single story" vs "multiple stories (2-5)" language
- Consistent modern terminology across all files

## Variable and Structure Improvements
- Fixed variable references: now uses {instructions_generate_stories} instead of hardcoded paths
- Updated workflow.yaml with cleaner variable structure
- Removed unused variables (project_level, development_context)
- Added story_count and epic_slug runtime variables

## Files Changed
- Deleted: instructions-level0-story.md (7,259 bytes)
- Deleted: instructions-level1-stories.md (16,274 bytes)
- Created: instructions-generate-stories.md (13,109 bytes)
- Updated: instructions.md (reduced from 35,028 to 32,006 bytes)
- Updated: workflow.yaml, checklist.md

## Impact
- 50% fewer workflow files (3 → 1 for story generation)
- More adaptable to any tech stack
- Clearer, more maintainable code
- Better developer and user experience
- Trusts modern LLM intelligence instead of constraining with examples
2025-11-11 17:30:43 -06:00
Brian Madison 2d99833b9e feat: Add documentation guides, simplify folder structure, and major workflow refactoring
Created two comprehensive guides for v6 features:

**docs/agent-customization-guide.md**
- Complete guide for customizing agent names, personas, memories, and behaviors
- Update-safe customization via bmad/_cfg/agents/ configuration files
- Real-world examples (TDD setup, multilingual agents, custom workflows)
- Troubleshooting and best practices

**docs/web-bundles-gemini-gpt-guide.md**
- Comprehensive guide for using BMad agents in Gemini Gems and Custom GPTs
- Critical setup rules with exact configuration text required
- Cost-saving strategy: web planning → local implementation (60-80% savings)
- Platform comparison (Gemini Gems strongly recommended over Custom GPTs)
- Complete workflow examples showing full planning-to-implementation cycle
- Team bundle guidance (Gemini 2.5 Pro+ only)

**README.md updates**
- Added prominent links in v6 Core Enhancements section
- Created new "Customization & Sharing" documentation category
- Web Bundles feature highlighted with direct guide link

**Unified output folder structure across all modules:**

**Before (confusing):**
- output_folder: Main docs
- game_design_docs: Separate design folder
- tech_docs: Separate technical folder
- dev_ephemeral_location: Separate ephemeral folder outside docs

**After (simplified):**
- output_folder: Single location for ALL AI-generated artifacts (default: "docs")
  - Clearer prompt: "Where should AI Generated Artifacts be saved?"
- sprint_artifacts: Phase 4 ephemeral content now WITHIN output_folder
  - BMM: {output_folder}/stories (stories, context, reports)
  - BMGD: {output_folder}/sprint-artifacts
  - No longer in separate {bmad_folder}-ephemeral location

**Benefits:**
- One clear location for all planning artifacts (PRD, Architecture, UX, etc.)
- Phase 4 ephemeral items logically grouped within output folder
- Eliminated confusing separate folder proliferation
- sprint_artifacts now configurable per module

**Files changed:**
- src/core/_module-installer/install-config.yaml
- src/modules/bmm/_module-installer/install-config.yaml
- src/modules/bmgd/_module-installer/install-config.yaml

**Also cleaned up BMGD config:**
- Renamed: specified_framework → primary_platform (clearer naming)
- Removed: unused data_path variable

Replaced old "project_level" (0-4) system with new "selected_track" terminology:
- **quick-flow**: Bug fixes and small features (replaces Level 0-1)
- **bmad-method**: Full planning track (replaces Level 2-3)
- **enterprise-bmad-method**: Extended planning (replaces Level 4)

**Core workflow updates:**
- solutioning-gate-check: Complete rewrite of validation logic for track-based artifacts
- architecture: Updated context detection, error handling, and messaging for tracks
- workflow-init: Updated artifact detection patterns for track-based paths
- All workflow status paths updated (method-greenfield, method-brownfield, enterprise-*)

Unified variable naming conventions across all workflows:
- {output_folder} → {output-folder} (hyphenated format)
- {dev_ephemeral_location} → {sprint_artifacts} (clearer purpose)
- Hardcoded status file paths → {workflow_status_file} variable

Fixed corrupted variable patterns throughout workflow files:
- {output*folder} → {output-folder}
- {ephemeral*location} → {sprint_artifacts}
- \_prd* → *prd* (escaped underscore artifacts)
- **\*\***\_\_\_**\*\*** → proper field placeholders

Affected patterns included malformed glob patterns, template variables, and markdown formatting artifacts from previous edits.

**Architecture workflow (create-architecture):**
- Fixed: "Decision Architecture" → "Create Architecture" (consistent naming)
- Improved PRD not found handling with exit/continue options
- Better user guidance when running standalone vs. within workflow path
- Removed hardcoded Level checks, now track-aware
- Enhanced validation checklist formatting (□ → - [])
- Typo fixes: "mulitple" → "multiple"

**Solutioning gate check:**
- Complete validation logic rewrite for track-based system
- Removed Level-specific artifact expectations
- Simplified document discovery (track determines what exists)
- Better analysis prompts and user feedback

**Workflow-init:**
- Updated artifact detection patterns for new folder structure
- Fixed corrupt glob patterns throughout
- Better sprint_artifacts location detection
- Improved workflow path assignment logic

**Various workflows:**
- Consistent variable naming across 40+ workflow files
- Improved error messages and user guidance
- Better markdown formatting (checkboxes, lists)
- Removed redundant validation criteria files (now inline)

Removed duplicate BMGD 4-production workflows (12 workflows):
- code-review, correct-course, create-story, dev-story
- epic-tech-context, retrospective, sprint-planning
- story-context, story-done, story-ready

**Why:** BMGD now uses shared BMM Phase 4 implementation workflows
**Benefit:** Single source of truth, no duplication to maintain

Also removed:
- validation-criteria.yaml (validation now inline in instructions)
- architecture-patterns.yaml references (patterns now managed differently)
- AUDIT-REPORT.md files (stale audit artifacts)

**BMB workflows:**
- Updated checklists for workflow and module creation
- Improved agent architecture documentation
- Minor instruction clarifications

**Core brainstorming workflow:**
- Updated README with usage examples
- Enhanced instructions and template clarity
- Better integration with other modules

**BMM installer:**
- Updated for track-based system
- sprint_artifacts configuration

**Tech Writer agent:**
- Minor configuration update for documentation workflows

Removed 200+ files that should not be in repository:
- Installed agent markdown files (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, etc.)
- Complete workflow instruction copies
- Documentation duplicates (quick-start, agents-guide, workflows-*)
- Test architecture knowledge base (22 files, 14,000+ lines)
- Configuration files (config.yaml, team definitions)

These are generated during installation and should not be version controlled.

Removed 21 pre-generated XML bundles:
- BMM agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, tech-writer, ux-designer)
- BMGD agents (game-architect, game-designer, game-dev, game-scrum-master)
- CIS agents (brainstorming-coach, creative-problem-solver, etc.)
- Team bundles (team-fullstack, team-gamedev, creative-squad)

**Why:** Users should generate fresh bundles via `npm run bundle` to get latest changes and customizations.

- **2 new documentation files** (comprehensive guides)
- **98 source files modified** (299 insertions, 6,567 deletions)
- **3 installer config files simplified** (major folder structure improvement)
- **200+ .bmad/ artifacts removed** (should not be in repo)
- **21 web-bundle files removed** (users regenerate as needed)
- **12 duplicate workflows removed** (BMGD consolidation)
- **40+ workflows updated** (track system, variable standardization, corruption fixes)

- [ ] `output_folder` pulls from `{config_source}:output_folder`
- [ ] `user_name` pulls from `{config_source}:user_name`
- [ ] `communication_language` pulls from `{config_source}:communication_language`
- [ ] `date` is set to `system-generated`

- [ ] Template does NOT use {{communication_language}} in headers (agent-only variable)
- [ ] No hardcoded language-specific text that should use {communication_language}
- [ ] Date used for agent date awareness (not confused with training cutoff)
## YAML/Instruction/Template Alignment
- [ ] Every workflow.yaml variable (excluding standard config) is used in instructions OR template
- [ ] No unused yaml fields present (bloat removed)
- [ ] No duplicate fields between top-level and web_bundle section
- [ ] All template variables ({{variable}}) have corresponding yaml definitions OR <template-output> tags
- [ ] All <template-output> tags have corresponding template variables (if document workflow)
- [ ] Template variables use snake_case naming convention
- [ ] Variable names are descriptive (not abbreviated like {{puj}} instead of {{primary_user_journey}})
- [ ] No hardcoded values in instructions that should be yaml variables
## Web Bundle Validation (if applicable)
- [ ] web_bundle section present if workflow needs deployment
- [ ] All paths in web_bundle use .bmad/-relative format (NOT {project-root})
- [ ] No {config_source} variables in web_bundle section

- `date: system-generated`
<action>Validate each variable:</action>
**Config Source Check:**

- [ ] Uses {project-root} variable
**Standard Variables Check:**
- [ ] `output_folder` pulls from config_source

1. Is it used in instructions.md? (mark as INSTRUCTION_USED)
2. Is it used in template.md? (mark as TEMPLATE_USED)
3. Is it neither? (mark as UNUSED_BLOAT)
**Special cases to ignore:**
- Standard config variables (config_source, output_folder, user_name, communication_language, date)

<action if="unused variables found">Add to issues list with severity: BLOAT</action>
</step>
<step n="4" goal="Config variable usage audit">
<action>Analyze instructions.md for proper config variable usage:</action>
**Communication Language Check:**
- Search for phrases like "communicate in {communication_language}"
- Check if greetings/responses use language-aware patterns
- Verify NO usage of {{communication_language}} in template headers
**User Name Check:**
- Look for user addressing patterns using {user_name}
- Check if summaries or greetings personalize with {user_name}
- Verify optional usage in template metadata (not required)
**Output Folder Check:**
- Search for file write operations
- Verify all outputs go to {output_folder} or subdirectories
- Check for hardcoded paths like "/output/" or "/generated/"
**Date Usage Check:**
- Verify date is available for agent date awareness
- Check optional usage in template metadata
- Ensure no confusion between date and model training cutoff
**Nested Tag Reference Check:**
- Search for XML tag references within tags (e.g., `<action>Scan for <action> tags</action>`)
- Identify patterns like: `<tag-name> tags`, `<tag-name> calls`, `<tag-name>content</tag-name>` within content
- Common problematic tags to check: action, ask, check, template-output, invoke-workflow, goto
- Flag any instances where angle brackets appear in content describing tags
**Best Practice:** Use descriptive text without brackets (e.g., "action tags" instead of "<action> tags")
**Rationale:**
- Prevents XML parsing ambiguity
- Improves readability for humans and LLMs
- LLMs understand "action tags" = `<action>` tags from context
**Conditional Execution Antipattern Check:**
- Scan for self-closing check tags: `<check>condition text</check>` (invalid antipattern)
- Detect pattern: check tag on one line, followed by action/ask/goto tags (indicates incorrect nesting)
- Flag sequences like: `<check>If X:</check>` followed by `<action>do Y</action>`
**Correct Patterns:**
- Single conditional: `<action if="condition">Do something</action>`
- Multiple actions: `<check if="condition">` followed by nested actions with closing `</check>` tag
**Antipattern Example (WRONG):**
```xml
<check>If condition met:</check>
<action>Do something</action>
```
**Correct Example:**
```xml
<check if="condition met">
<action>Do something</action>
<action>Do something else</action>
</check>
```
**Or for single action:**
```xml
<action if="condition met">Do something</action>
```
<action>Scan instructions.md for nested tag references using pattern: &lt;(action|ask|check|template-output|invoke-workflow|invoke-task|goto|step)&gt; within text content</action>
<action>Record any instances of nested tag references with line numbers</action>
<action>Scan instructions.md for conditional execution antipattern: self-closing check tags</action>
<action>Detect pattern: `&lt;check&gt;.*&lt;/check&gt;` on single line (self-closing check)</action>
<action>Record any antipattern instances with line numbers and suggest corrections</action>

**Path Validation:**
- [ ] All paths use .bmad/-relative format (NOT {project-root})

- [ ] Paths match actual file locations
**Completeness Check:**
- [ ] instructions file listed in web_bundle_files

# Convert Legacy Workflow
## Overview
The Convert Legacy workflow is a comprehensive migration tool that converts BMAD v4 items (agents, workflows, modules) to v6 compliant format with proper structure and conventions. It bridges the gap between legacy BMAD implementations and the modern v6 architecture, ensuring seamless migration while preserving functionality and improving structure.
## Key Features
- **Multi-Format Detection** - Automatically identifies v4 agents, workflows, tasks, templates, and modules
- **Intelligent Conversion** - Smart mapping from v4 patterns to v6 equivalents with structural improvements
- **Sub-Workflow Integration** - Leverages create-agent, create-workflow, and create-module workflows for quality output
- **Structure Modernization** - Converts YAML-based agents to XML, templates to workflows, tasks to structured workflows
- **Path Normalization** - Updates all references to use proper v6 path conventions
- **Validation System** - Comprehensive validation of converted items before finalization
- **Migration Reporting** - Detailed conversion reports with locations and manual adjustment notes
## Usage
### Basic Invocation
```bash
workflow convert-legacy
```
### With Legacy File Input
```bash
# Convert a specific v4 item
workflow convert-legacy --input /path/to/legacy-agent.md
```
### With Legacy Module
```bash
# Convert an entire v4 module structure
workflow convert-legacy --input /path/to/legacy-module/
```
### Configuration
The workflow uses standard BMB configuration:
- **output_folder**: Where converted items will be placed
- **user_name**: Author information for converted items
- **conversion_mappings**: v4-to-v6 pattern mappings (optional)
## Workflow Structure
### Files Included
```
convert-legacy/
├── workflow.yaml # Configuration and metadata
├── instructions.md # Step-by-step conversion guide
├── checklist.md # Validation criteria
└── README.md # This file
```
## Workflow Process
### Phase 1: Legacy Analysis (Steps 1-3)
**Item Identification and Loading**
- Accepts file path or directory from user
- Loads complete file/folder structure for analysis
- Automatically detects item type based on content patterns:
- **Agents**: Contains `<agent>` or `<prompt>` XML tags
- **Workflows**: Contains workflow YAML or instruction patterns
- **Modules**: Contains multiple organized agents/workflows
- **Tasks**: Contains `<task>` XML tags
- **Templates**: Contains YAML-based document generators
**Legacy Structure Analysis**
- Parses v4 structure and extracts key components
- Maps v4 agent metadata (name, id, title, icon, persona)
- Analyzes v4 template sections and elicitation patterns
- Identifies task workflows and decision trees
- Catalogs dependencies and file references
**Target Module Selection**
- Prompts for target module (bmm, bmb, cis, custom)
- Determines proper installation paths using v6 conventions
- Shows target location for user confirmation
- Ensures all paths use `{project-root}/.bmad/` format
### Phase 2: Conversion Strategy (Step 4)
**Strategy Selection Based on Item Type**
- **Simple Agents**: Direct XML conversion with metadata mapping
- **Complex Agents**: Workflow-assisted creation using create-agent
- **Templates**: Template-to-workflow conversion with proper structure
- **Tasks**: Task-to-workflow conversion with step mapping
- **Modules**: Full module creation using create-module workflow
**Workflow Type Determination**
- Analyzes legacy items to determine v6 workflow type:
- **Document Workflow**: Generates documents with templates
- **Action Workflow**: Performs actions without output documents
- **Interactive Workflow**: Guides user interaction sessions
- **Meta-Workflow**: Coordinates other workflows
### Phase 3: Conversion Execution (Steps 5a-5e)
**Direct Agent Conversion (5a)**
- Transforms v4 YAML agent format to v6 XML structure
- Maps persona blocks (role, style, identity, principles)
- Converts commands list to v6 `<cmds>` format
- Updates task references to workflow invocations
- Normalizes all paths to v6 conventions
**Workflow-Assisted Creation (5b-5e)**
- Extracts key information from legacy items
- Invokes appropriate sub-workflows:
- `create-agent` for complex agent creation
- `create-workflow` for template/task conversion
- `create-module` for full module migration
- Ensures proper v6 structure and conventions
**Template-to-Workflow Conversion (5c)**
- Converts YAML template sections to workflow steps
- Maps `elicit: true` flags to `<invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml</invoke-task>` tags
- Transforms conditional sections to flow control
- Creates proper template.md from content structure
- Integrates v4 create-doc.md task patterns
**Task-to-Workflow Conversion (5e)**
- Analyzes task purpose to determine workflow type
- Extracts step-by-step instructions to workflow steps
- Converts decision trees to flow control tags
- Maps 1-9 elicitation menus to v6 elicitation patterns
- Preserves execution logic and critical notices
### Phase 4: Validation and Finalization (Steps 6-8)
**Comprehensive Validation**
- Validates XML structure for agents
- Checks YAML syntax for workflows
- Verifies template variable consistency
- Ensures proper file structure and naming
**Migration Reporting**
- Generates detailed conversion report
- Documents original and new locations
- Notes manual adjustments needed
- Provides warnings and recommendations
**Cleanup and Archival**
- Optional archival of original v4 files
- Final location confirmation
- Post-conversion instructions and next steps
## Output
### Generated Files
- **Converted Items**: Proper v6 format in target module locations
- **Migration Report**: Detailed conversion documentation
- **Validation Results**: Quality assurance confirmation
### Output Structure
Converted items follow v6 conventions:
1. **Agents** - XML format with proper persona and command structure
2. **Workflows** - Complete workflow folders with yaml, instructions, and templates
3. **Modules** - Full module structure with installation infrastructure
4. **Documentation** - Updated paths, references, and metadata
## Requirements
- **Legacy v4 Items** - Source files or directories to convert
- **Target Module Access** - Write permissions to target module directories
- **Sub-Workflow Availability** - create-agent, create-workflow, create-module workflows accessible
- **Conversion Mappings** (optional) - v4-to-v6 pattern mappings for complex conversions
## Best Practices
### Before Starting
1. **Backup Legacy Items** - Create copies of original v4 files before conversion
2. **Review Target Module** - Understand target module structure and conventions
3. **Plan Module Organization** - Decide where converted items should logically fit
### During Execution
1. **Validate Item Type Detection** - Confirm automatic detection or correct manually
2. **Choose Appropriate Strategy** - Use workflow-assisted creation for complex items
3. **Review Path Mappings** - Ensure all references use proper v6 path conventions
4. **Test Incrementally** - Convert simple items first to validate process
### After Completion
1. **Validate Converted Items** - Test agents and workflows for proper functionality
2. **Review Migration Report** - Address any manual adjustments noted
3. **Update Documentation** - Ensure README and documentation reflect changes
4. **Archive Originals** - Store v4 files safely for reference if needed
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**Issue**: Item type detection fails or incorrect
- **Solution**: Manually specify item type when prompted
- **Check**: Verify file structure matches expected v4 patterns
**Issue**: Path conversion errors
- **Solution**: Ensure all references use `{project-root}/.bmad/` format
- **Check**: Review conversion mappings for proper path patterns
**Issue**: Sub-workflow invocation fails
- **Solution**: Verify build workflows are available and accessible
- **Check**: Ensure target module exists and has proper permissions
**Issue**: XML or YAML syntax errors in output
- **Solution**: Review conversion mappings and adjust patterns
- **Check**: Validate converted files with appropriate parsers
## Customization
To customize this workflow:
1. **Update Conversion Mappings** - Modify v4-to-v6 pattern mappings in data/
2. **Extend Detection Logic** - Add new item type detection patterns
3. **Add Conversion Strategies** - Implement specialized conversion approaches
4. **Enhance Validation** - Add additional quality checks in validation step
## Version History
- **v1.0.0** - Initial release
- Multi-format v4 item detection and conversion
- Integration with create-agent, create-workflow, create-module
- Comprehensive path normalization
- Migration reporting and validation

- v4 `agent.id` → v6 `agent.metadata.id`
- v4 `agent.title` → v6 `agent.metadata.title`
- v4 `agent.icon` → v6 `agent.metadata.icon`

- v4 `persona.style` → v6 `agent.persona.communication_style`
- v4 `persona.identity` → v6 `agent.persona.identity`
- v4 `persona.core_principles` → v6 `agent.persona.principles` (as array)
3. Convert commands to menu:
- v4 `commands:` list → v6 `agent.menu:` array
- Each command becomes menu item with:
- `trigger:` (without \* prefix - added at build)
- `description:`
- Handler attributes (`workflow:`, `exec:`, `action:`, etc.)
- Map task references to workflow paths
- Map template references to workflow invocations
4. Add v6-specific sections (in YAML):
- `agent.prompts:` array for inline prompts (if using action: "#id")
- `agent.critical_actions:` array for startup requirements
- `agent.activation_rules:` for universal agent rules
5. Handle dependencies and paths:
- Convert task dependencies to workflow references
- Map template dependencies to v6 workflows
- Preserve checklist and data file references
- CRITICAL: All paths must use {project-root}/.bmad/{{module}}/ NOT src/
<action>Generate the converted v6 agent YAML file (.agent.yaml)</action>

- [Quick Start](#quick-start)
- [Agent Types](#agent-types)
- [Workflow Phases](#workflow-phases)
- [Output Structure](#output-structure)
- [Installation](#installation)
- [Examples](#examples)
## Quick Start
```bash
# Direct workflow
workflow create-agent
# Via BMad Builder
*create-agent
```
## Agent Types
### Simple Agent
- Self-contained functionality
- Basic command structure
- No external resources
### Expert Agent
- Sidecar resources for domain knowledge
- Extended capabilities
- Knowledge base integration
### Module Agent
- Full-featured with workflows
- Module-specific commands
- Integrated with module structure
## Workflow Phases
### Phase 0: Optional Brainstorming
- Creative ideation session
- Explore concepts and personalities
- Generate command ideas
- Output feeds into persona development
### Phase 1: Agent Setup
1. Choose agent type (Simple/Expert/Module)
2. Define identity (name, title, icon, filename)
3. Assign to module (if Module agent)
### Phase 2: Persona Development
- Define role and responsibilities
- Craft unique identity/backstory
- Select communication style
- Establish guiding principles
- Add critical actions (optional)
### Phase 3: Command Building
- Add required commands (*help, *exit)
- Define workflow commands
- Add task commands
- Create action commands
- Configure attributes
### Phase 4: Finalization
- Generate .agent.yaml file
- Create customize file (optional)
- Setup sidecar resources (Expert agents)
- Validate and compile
- Provide usage instructions
## Output Structure
### Generated Files
**Standalone Agents:**
- Source: `.bmad/agents/{filename}.agent.yaml`
- Compiled: `.bmad/agents/{filename}.md`
**Module Agents:**
- Source: `src/modules/{module}/agents/{filename}.agent.yaml`
- Compiled: `.bmad/{module}/agents/{filename}.md`
### YAML Structure
```yaml
agent:
metadata:
id: .bmad/{module}/agents/{filename}.md
name: Agent Name
title: Agent Title
icon: 🤖
module: module-name
persona:
role: '...'
identity: '...'
communication_style: '...'
principles: ['...', '...']
menu:
- trigger: command-name
workflow: path/to/workflow.yaml
description: Command description
```
### Optional Customize File
Location: `.bmad/_cfg/agents/{module}-{filename}.customize.yaml`
Allows persona and menu overrides that persist through updates.
## Installation
### Compilation Methods
**Quick Rebuild:**
```bash
bmad compile-agents
```
**During Module Install:**
Automatic compilation when installing modules
**Manual Compilation:**
```bash
node tools/cli/bmad-cli.js compile-agents
```
## Examples
### Creating a Code Review Agent
```
User: I need a code review agent
Builder: Let's brainstorm first...
[Brainstorming generates ideas for strict vs friendly reviewer]
Builder: Now let's build your agent:
- Type: Simple
- Name: Code Reviewer
- Role: Senior developer conducting thorough reviews
- Style: Professional but approachable
- Commands:
- *review-pr: Review pull request
- *review-file: Review single file
- *review-standards: Check coding standards
```
### Creating a Domain Expert
```
Type: Expert
Name: Legal Advisor
Sidecar: legal-knowledge/
Commands:
- *contract-review
- *compliance-check
- *risk-assessment
```
## Workflow Files

├── README.md # This file
├── agent-types.md # Type details
├── agent-architecture.md # Patterns
├── agent-command-patterns.md # Commands
└── communication-styles.md # Styles
```
## Best Practices
1. **Use brainstorming** for complex agents
2. **Start simple** - Add commands incrementally
3. **Test commands** before finalizing
4. **Document thoroughly** in descriptions
5. **Follow naming conventions** consistently

# BMAD Agent Architecture Reference
_LLM-Optimized Technical Documentation for Agent Building_
## Core Agent Structure
### Minimal Valid Agent
```xml
<!-- Powered by BMAD-CORE™ -->
# Agent Name
<agent id="path/to/agent.md" name="Name" title="Title" icon="🤖">
<persona>
<role>My primary function</role>
<identity>My background and expertise</identity>
<communication_style>How I interact</communication_style>
<principles>My core beliefs and methodology</principles>
</persona>
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered menu</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
</menu>
</agent>
```
## Agent XML Schema
### Root Element: `<agent>`
**Required Attributes:**
- `id` - Unique path identifier (e.g., ".bmad/bmm/agents/analyst.md")
- `name` - Agent's name (e.g., "Mary", "John", "Helper")
- `title` - Professional title (e.g., "Business Analyst", "Security Engineer")
- `icon` - Single emoji representing the agent
### Core Sections
#### 1. Persona Section (REQUIRED)
```xml
<persona>
<role>1-2 sentences: Professional title and primary expertise, use first-person voice</role>
<identity>2-5 sentences: Background, experience, specializations, use first-person voice</identity>
<communication_style>1-3 sentences: Interaction approach, tone, quirks, use first-person voice</communication_style>
<principles>2-5 sentences: Core beliefs, methodology, philosophy, use first-person voice</principles>
</persona>
```
**Best Practices:**
- Role: Be specific about expertise area
- Identity: Include experience indicators (years, depth)
- Communication: Describe HOW they interact, not just tone and quirks
- Principles: Start with "I believe" or "I operate" for first-person voice
#### 2. Critical Actions Section
```xml
<critical-actions>
<i>Load into memory {project-root}/.bmad/{module}/config.yaml and set variables</i>
<i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
<i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
<!-- Custom initialization actions -->
</critical-actions>
```
**For Expert Agents with Sidecars (CRITICAL):**
```xml
<critical-actions>
<!-- CRITICAL: Load sidecar files FIRST -->
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md and follow ALL directives</i>
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md into permanent context</i>
<i critical="MANDATORY">You MUST follow all rules in instructions.md on EVERY interaction</i>
<!-- Standard initialization -->
<i>Load into memory {project-root}/.bmad/{module}/config.yaml and set variables</i>
<i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
<i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
<!-- Domain restrictions -->
<i>ONLY read/write files in {user-folder}/diary/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS</i>
</critical-actions>
```
**Common Patterns:**
- Config loading for module agents
- User context initialization
- Language preferences
- **Sidecar file loading (Expert agents) - MUST be explicit and CRITICAL**
- **Domain restrictions (Expert agents) - MUST be enforced**
#### 3. Menu Section (REQUIRED)
```xml
<menu>
<item cmd="*trigger" [attributes]>Description</item>
</menu>
```
**Command Attributes:**
- `run-workflow="{path}"` - Executes a workflow
- `exec="{path}"` - Executes a task
- `tmpl="{path}"` - Template reference
- `data="{path}"` - Data file reference
**Required Menu Items:**
- `*help` - Always first, shows command list
- `*exit` - Always last, exits agent
## Advanced Agent Patterns
### Activation Rules (OPTIONAL)
```xml
<activation critical="true">
<initialization critical="true" sequential="MANDATORY">
<step n="1">Load configuration</step>
<step n="2">Apply overrides</step>
<step n="3">Execute critical actions</step>
<step n="4" critical="BLOCKING">Show greeting with menu</step>
<step n="5" critical="BLOCKING">AWAIT user input</step>
</initialization>
<command-resolution critical="true">
<rule>Numeric input → Execute command at cmd_map[n]</rule>
<rule>Text input → Fuzzy match against commands</rule>
</command-resolution>
</activation>
```
### Expert Agent Sidecar Pattern
```xml
<!-- DO NOT use sidecar-resources tag - Instead use critical-actions -->
<!-- Sidecar files MUST be loaded explicitly in critical-actions -->
<!-- Example Expert Agent with Diary domain -->
<agent id="diary-keeper" name="Personal Assistant" title="Diary Keeper" icon="📔">
<critical-actions>
<!-- MANDATORY: Load all sidecar files -->
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/diary-rules.md</i>
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/user-memories.md</i>
<i critical="MANDATORY">Follow ALL rules from diary-rules.md</i>
<!-- Domain restriction -->
<i critical="MANDATORY">ONLY access files in {user-folder}/diary/</i>
<i critical="MANDATORY">NEVER access files outside diary folder</i>
</critical-actions>
<persona>...</persona>
<menu>...</menu>
</agent>
```
### Module Agent Integration
```xml
<module-integration>
<module-path>{project-root}/.bmad/{module-code}</module-path>
<config-source>{module-path}/config.yaml</config-source>
<workflows-path>{project-root}/.bmad/{module-code}/workflows</workflows-path>
</module-integration>
```
## Variable System
### System Variables
- `{project-root}` - Root directory of project
- `{user_name}` - User's name from config
- `{communication_language}` - Language preference
- `{date}` - Current date
- `{module}` - Current module code
### Config Variables
Format: `{config_source}:variable_name`
Example: `{config_source}:output_folder`
### Path Construction
```
Good: {project-root}/.bmad/{module}/agents/
Bad: /absolute/path/to/agents/
Bad: ../../../relative/paths/
```
## Command Patterns
### Workflow Commands
```xml
<!-- Full path -->
<item cmd="*create-prd" run-workflow="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
Create Product Requirements Document
</item>
<!-- Placeholder for future -->
<item cmd="*analyze" run-workflow="todo">
Perform analysis (workflow to be created)
</item>
```
### Task Commands
```xml
<item cmd="*validate" exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml">
Validate document
</item>
```
### Template Commands
```xml
<item cmd="*brief"
exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
tmpl="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/templates/brief.md">
Create project brief
</item>
```

```xml
<item cmd="*standup"
exec="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/tasks/daily-standup.xml"
data="{project-root}/.bmad/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv">
Run daily standup
</item>
```
## Agent Type Specific Patterns
### Simple Agent
- Self-contained logic
- Minimal or no external dependencies
- May have embedded functions
- Good for utilities and converters
### Expert Agent
- Domain-specific with sidecar resources
- Restricted access patterns
- Memory/context files
- Good for specialized domains
### Module Agent
- Full integration with module
- Multiple workflows and tasks
- Config-driven behavior
- Good for professional tools
## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
### ❌ Bad Practices
```xml
<!-- Missing required persona elements -->
<persona>
<role>Helper</role>
<!-- Missing identity, style, principles -->
</persona>
<!-- Hard-coded paths -->
<item cmd="*run" exec="/Users/john/project/task.md">
<!-- No help command -->
<menu>
<item cmd="*do-something">Action</item>
<!-- Missing *help -->
</menu>
<!-- Duplicate command triggers -->
<item cmd="*analyze">First</item>
<item cmd="*analyze">Second</item>
```
### ✅ Good Practices
```xml
<!-- Complete persona -->
<persona>
<role>Data Analysis Expert</role>
<identity>Senior analyst with 10+ years...</identity>
<communication_style>Analytical and precise...</communication_style>
<principles>I believe in data-driven...</principles>
</persona>
<!-- Variable-based paths -->
<item cmd="*run" exec="{project-root}/.bmad/module/task.md">
<!-- Required commands present -->
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show commands</item>
<item cmd="*analyze">Perform analysis</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit</item>
</menu>
```
## Agent Lifecycle
### 1. Initialization
1. Load agent file
2. Parse XML structure
3. Load critical-actions
4. Apply config overrides
5. Present greeting
### 2. Command Loop
1. Show numbered menu
2. Await user input
3. Resolve command
4. Execute action
5. Return to menu
### 3. Termination
1. User enters \*exit
2. Cleanup if needed
3. Exit persona
## Testing Checklist
Before deploying an agent:
- [ ] Valid XML structure
- [ ] All persona elements present
- [ ] *help and *exit commands exist
- [ ] All paths use variables
- [ ] No duplicate commands
- [ ] Config loading works
- [ ] Commands execute properly
## LLM Building Tips
When building agents:
1. Start with agent type (Simple/Expert/Module)
2. Define complete persona first
3. Add standard critical-actions
4. Include *help and *exit
5. Add domain commands
6. Test command execution
7. Validate with checklist
## Integration Points
### With Workflows
- Agents invoke workflows via run-workflow
- Workflows can be incomplete (marked "todo")
- Workflow paths must be valid or "todo"
**Workflow Interaction Styles** (BMAD v6 default):
- **Intent-based + Interactive**: Workflows adapt to user context and skill level
- Workflows collaborate with users, not just extract data
- See workflow-creation-guide.md "Instruction Styles" section for details
- When creating workflows for your agent, default to intent-based unless you need prescriptive control
### With Tasks
- Tasks are single operations
- Executed via exec attribute
- Can include data files
### With Templates
- Templates define document structure
- Used with create-doc task
- Variables passed through
## Quick Reference
### Minimal Commands
```xml
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
</menu>
```
### Standard Critical Actions
```xml
<critical-actions>
<i>Load into memory {project-root}/.bmad/{module}/config.yaml</i>
<i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
<i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
</critical-actions>
```
### Module Agent Pattern
```xml
<agent id=".bmad/{module}/agents/{name}.md"
name="{Name}"
title="{Title}"
icon="{emoji}">
<persona>...</persona>
<critical-actions>...</critical-actions>
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">...</item>
<item cmd="*{command}" run-workflow="{path}">...</item>
<item cmd="*exit">...</item>
</menu>
</agent>
```

# BMAD Agent Command Patterns Reference
_LLM-Optimized Guide for Command Design_
## Important: How to Process Action References
When executing agent commands, understand these reference patterns:
```xml
<!-- Pattern 1: Inline action -->
<item cmd="*example" action="do this specific thing">Description</item>
→ Execute the text "do this specific thing" directly
<!-- Pattern 2: Internal reference with # prefix -->
<item cmd="*example" action="#prompt-id">Description</item>
→ Find <prompt id="prompt-id"> in the current agent and execute its content
<!-- Pattern 3: External file reference -->
<item cmd="*example" exec="{project-root}/path/to/file.md">Description</item>
→ Load and execute the external file
```
**The `#` prefix is your signal that this is an internal XML node reference, not a file path.**
## Command Anatomy
### Basic Structure
```xml
<menu>
<item cmd="*trigger" [attributes]>Description</item>
</menu>
```
**Components:**
- `cmd` - The trigger word (always starts with \*)
- `attributes` - Action directives (optional):
- `run-workflow` - Path to workflow YAML
- `exec` - Path to task/operation
- `tmpl` - Path to template (used with exec)
- `action` - Embedded prompt/instruction
- `data` - Path to supplementary data (universal)
- `Description` - What shows in menu
## Command Types
**Quick Reference:**
1. **Workflow Commands** - Execute multi-step workflows (`run-workflow`)
2. **Task Commands** - Execute single operations (`exec`)
3. **Template Commands** - Generate from templates (`exec` + `tmpl`)
4. **Meta Commands** - Agent control (no attributes)
5. **Action Commands** - Embedded prompts (`action`)
6. **Embedded Commands** - Logic in persona (no attributes)
**Universal Attributes:**
- `data` - Can be added to ANY command type for supplementary info
- `if` - Conditional execution (advanced pattern)
- `params` - Runtime parameters (advanced pattern)
### 1. Workflow Commands
Execute complete multi-step processes
```xml
<!-- Standard workflow -->
<item cmd="*create-prd"
run-workflow="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
Create Product Requirements Document
</item>
<!-- Workflow with validation -->
<item cmd="*validate-prd"
validate-workflow="{output_folder}/prd-draft.md"
workflow="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
Validate PRD Against Checklist
</item>
<!-- Auto-discover validation workflow from document -->
<item cmd="*validate-doc"
validate-workflow="{output_folder}/document.md">
Validate Document (auto-discover checklist)
</item>
<!-- Placeholder for future development -->
<item cmd="*analyze-data"
run-workflow="todo">
Analyze dataset (workflow coming soon)
</item>
```
**Workflow Attributes:**
- `run-workflow` - Execute a workflow to create documents
- `validate-workflow` - Validate an existing document against its checklist
- `workflow` - (optional with validate-workflow) Specify the workflow.yaml directly
**Best Practices:**
- Use descriptive trigger names
- Always use variable paths
- Mark incomplete as "todo"
- Description should be clear action
- Include validation commands for workflows that produce documents
### 2. Task Commands
Execute single operations
```xml
<!-- Simple task -->
<item cmd="*validate"
exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml">
Validate document against checklist
</item>
<!-- Task with data -->
<item cmd="*standup"
exec="{project-root}/.bmad/mmm/tasks/daily-standup.xml"
data="{project-root}/.bmad/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv">
Run agile team standup
</item>
```
**Data Property:**
- Can be used with any command type
- Provides additional reference or context
- Path to supplementary files or resources
- Loaded at runtime for command execution
### 3. Template Commands
Generate documents from templates
```xml
<item cmd="*brief"
exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
tmpl="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/templates/brief.md">
Produce Project Brief
</item>
<item cmd="*competitor-analysis"
exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
tmpl="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/templates/competitor.md"
data="{project-root}/.bmad/_data/market-research.csv">
Produce Competitor Analysis
</item>
```
### 4. Meta Commands
Agent control and information
```xml
<!-- Required meta commands -->
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
<!-- Optional meta commands -->
<item cmd="*yolo">Toggle Yolo Mode</item>
<item cmd="*status">Show current status</item>
<item cmd="*config">Show configuration</item>
```
### 5. Action Commands
Direct prompts embedded in commands (Simple agents)
#### Simple Action (Inline)
```xml
<!-- Short action attribute with embedded prompt -->
<item cmd="*list-tasks"
action="list all tasks from {project-root}/.bmad/_cfg/task-manifest.csv">
List Available Tasks
</item>
<item cmd="*summarize"
action="summarize the key points from the current document">
Summarize Document
</item>
```
#### Complex Action (Referenced)
For multiline/complex prompts, define them separately and reference by id:
```xml
<agent name="Research Assistant">
<!-- Define complex prompts as separate nodes -->
<prompts>
<prompt id="deep-analysis">
Perform a comprehensive analysis following these steps:
1. Identify the main topic and key themes
2. Extract all supporting evidence and data points
3. Analyze relationships between concepts
4. Identify gaps or contradictions
5. Generate insights and recommendations
6. Create an executive summary
Format the output with clear sections and bullet points.
</prompt>
<prompt id="literature-review">
Conduct a systematic literature review:
1. Summarize each source's main arguments
2. Compare and contrast different perspectives
3. Identify consensus points and controversies
4. Evaluate the quality and relevance of sources
5. Synthesize findings into coherent themes
6. Highlight research gaps and future directions
Include proper citations and references.
</prompt>
</prompts>
<!-- Commands reference the prompts by id -->
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
<item cmd="*deep-analyze"
action="#deep-analysis">
<!-- The # means: use the <prompt id="deep-analysis"> defined above -->
Perform Deep Analysis
</item>
<item cmd="*review-literature"
action="#literature-review"
data="{project-root}/.bmad/_data/sources.csv">
Conduct Literature Review
</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
</menu>
</agent>
```
**Reference Convention:**
- `action="#prompt-id"` means: "Find and execute the <prompt> node with id='prompt-id' within this agent"
- `action="inline text"` means: "Execute this text directly as the prompt"
- `exec="{path}"` means: "Load and execute external file at this path"
- The `#` prefix signals to the LLM: "This is an internal reference - look for a prompt node with this ID within the current agent XML"
**LLM Processing Instructions:**
When you see `action="#some-id"` in a command:
1. Look for `<prompt id="some-id">` within the same agent
2. Use the content of that prompt node as the instruction
3. If not found, report error: "Prompt 'some-id' not found in agent"
**Use Cases:**
- Quick operations (inline action)
- Complex multi-step processes (referenced prompt)
- Self-contained agents with task-like capabilities
- Reusable prompt templates within agent
### 6. Embedded Commands
Logic embedded in agent persona (Simple agents)
```xml
<!-- No exec/run-workflow/action attribute -->
<item cmd="*calculate">Perform calculation</item>
<item cmd="*convert">Convert format</item>
<item cmd="*generate">Generate output</item>
```
## Command Naming Conventions
### Action-Based Naming
```xml
*create- <!-- Generate new content -->
*build- <!-- Construct components -->
*analyze- <!-- Examine and report -->
*validate- <!-- Check correctness -->
*generate- <!-- Produce output -->
*update- <!-- Modify existing -->

```
### Domain-Based Naming
```xml
*brainstorm <!-- Creative ideation -->
*architect <!-- Design systems -->
*refactor <!-- Improve code -->
*deploy <!-- Release to production -->
*monitor <!-- Watch systems -->
```
### Naming Anti-Patterns
```xml
<!-- ❌ Too vague -->
<item cmd="*do">Do something</item>
<!-- ❌ Too long -->
<item cmd="*create-comprehensive-product-requirements-document-with-analysis">
<!-- ❌ No verb -->
<item cmd="*prd">Product Requirements</item>
<!-- ✅ Clear and concise -->
<item cmd="*create-prd">Create Product Requirements Document</item>
```
## Command Organization
### Standard Order
```xml
<menu>
<!-- 1. Always first -->
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
<!-- 2. Primary workflows -->
<item cmd="*create-prd" run-workflow="...">Create PRD</item>
<item cmd="*create-module" run-workflow="...">Build module</item>
<!-- 3. Secondary actions -->
<item cmd="*validate" exec="...">Validate document</item>
<item cmd="*analyze" exec="...">Analyze code</item>
<!-- 4. Utility commands -->
<item cmd="*config">Show configuration</item>
<item cmd="*yolo">Toggle Yolo Mode</item>
<!-- 5. Always last -->
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
</menu>
```
### Grouping Strategies

<!-- Technical jargon -->
<item cmd="*exec-wf-123">Execute WF123</item>
<!-- Missing context -->
<item cmd="*run">Run</item>
```
## The Data Property
### Universal Data Attribute
The `data` attribute can be added to ANY command type to provide supplementary information:
```xml
<!-- Workflow with data -->
<item cmd="*brainstorm"
run-workflow="{project-root}/.bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml"
data="{project-root}/.bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/brain-methods.csv">
Creative Brainstorming Session
</item>
<!-- Action with data -->
<item cmd="*analyze-metrics"
action="analyze these metrics and identify trends"
data="{project-root}/.bmad/_data/performance-metrics.json">
Analyze Performance Metrics
</item>
<!-- Template with data -->
<item cmd="*report"
exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
tmpl="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/templates/report.md"
data="{project-root}/.bmad/_data/quarterly-results.csv">
Generate Quarterly Report
</item>
```
**Common Data Uses:**
- Reference tables (CSV files)
- Configuration data (YAML/JSON)
- Agent manifests (XML)
- Historical context
- Domain knowledge
- Examples and patterns
## Advanced Patterns
### Conditional Commands
```xml
<!-- Only show if certain conditions met -->
<item cmd="*advanced-mode"
if="user_level == 'expert'"
run-workflow="...">
Advanced configuration mode
</item>
<!-- Environment specific -->
<item cmd="*deploy-prod"
if="environment == 'production'"
exec="...">
Deploy to production
</item>
```
### Parameterized Commands
```xml
<!-- Accept runtime parameters -->
<item cmd="*create-agent"
run-workflow="..."
params="agent_type,agent_name">
Create new agent with parameters
</item>
```
### Command Aliases
```xml
<!-- Multiple triggers for same action -->
<item cmd="*prd|*create-prd|*product-requirements"
run-workflow="...">
Create Product Requirements Document
</item>
```
## Module-Specific Patterns
### BMM (Business Management)
```xml
<item cmd="*create-prd">Product Requirements</item>
<item cmd="*market-research">Market Research</item>
<item cmd="*competitor-analysis">Competitor Analysis</item>
<item cmd="*brief">Project Brief</item>
```
### BMB (Builder)
```xml
<item cmd="*create-agent">Build Agent</item>
<item cmd="*create-module">Build Module</item>
<item cmd="*create-workflow">Create Workflow</item>
<item cmd="*module-brief">Module Brief</item>
```
### CIS (Creative Intelligence)
```xml
<item cmd="*brainstorm">Brainstorming Session</item>
<item cmd="*ideate">Ideation Workshop</item>
<item cmd="*storytell">Story Creation</item>
```
## Command Menu Presentation
### How Commands Display
```
1. *help - Show numbered cmd list
2. *create-prd - Create Product Requirements Document
3. *create-agent - Build new BMAD agent
4. *validate - Validate document
5. *exit - Exit with confirmation
```
### Menu Customization
```xml
<!-- Group separator (visual only) -->
<item cmd="---">━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━</item>
<!-- Section header (non-executable) -->
<item cmd="SECTION">═══ Workflows ═══</item>
```
## Error Handling
### Missing Resources
```xml
<!-- Workflow not yet created -->
<item cmd="*future-feature"
run-workflow="todo">
Coming soon: Advanced feature
</item>
<!-- Graceful degradation -->
<item cmd="*analyze"
run-workflow="{optional-path|fallback-path}">
Analyze with available tools
</item>
```
## Testing Commands
### Command Test Checklist
- [ ] Unique trigger (no duplicates)
- [ ] Clear description
- [ ] Valid path or "todo"
- [ ] Uses variables not hardcoded paths
- [ ] Executes without error
- [ ] Returns to menu after execution
### Common Issues
1. **Duplicate triggers** - Each cmd must be unique
2. **Missing paths** - File must exist or be "todo"
3. **Hardcoded paths** - Always use variables
4. **No description** - Every command needs text
5. **Wrong order** - help first, exit last
## Quick Templates
### Workflow Command
```xml
<!-- Create document -->
<item cmd="*{action}-{object}"
run-workflow="{project-root}/.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/workflow.yaml">
{Action} {Object Description}
</item>
<!-- Validate document -->
<item cmd="*validate-{object}"
validate-workflow="{output_folder}/{document}.md"
workflow="{project-root}/.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/workflow.yaml">
Validate {Object Description}
</item>
```
### Task Command
```xml
<item cmd="*{action}"
exec="{project-root}/.bmad/{module}/tasks/{task}.md">
{Action Description}
</item>
```
### Template Command
```xml
<item cmd="*{document}"
exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
tmpl="{project-root}/.bmad/{module}/templates/{template}.md">
Create {Document Name}
</item>
```
## Self-Contained Agent Patterns
### When to Use Each Approach
**Inline Action (`action="prompt"`)**
- Prompt is < 2 lines
- Simple, direct instruction
- Not reused elsewhere
- Quick transformations
**Referenced Prompt (`action="#prompt-id"`)**
- Prompt is multiline/complex
- Contains structured steps
- May be reused by multiple commands
- Maintains readability
**External Task (`exec="path/to/task.md"`)**
- Logic needs to be shared across agents
- Task is independently valuable
- Requires version control separately
- Part of larger workflow system
### Complete Self-Contained Agent
```xml
<agent id=".bmad/research/agents/analyst.md" name="Research Analyst" icon="🔬">
<!-- Embedded prompt library -->
<prompts>
<prompt id="swot-analysis">
Perform a SWOT analysis:
STRENGTHS (Internal, Positive)
- What advantages exist?
- What do we do well?
- What unique resources?
WEAKNESSES (Internal, Negative)
- What could improve?
- Where are resource gaps?
- What needs development?
OPPORTUNITIES (External, Positive)
- What trends can we leverage?
- What market gaps exist?
- What partnerships are possible?
THREATS (External, Negative)
- What competition exists?
- What risks are emerging?
- What could disrupt us?
Provide specific examples and actionable insights for each quadrant.
</prompt>
<prompt id="competitive-intel">
Analyze competitive landscape:
1. Identify top 5 competitors
2. Compare features and capabilities
3. Analyze pricing strategies
4. Evaluate market positioning
5. Assess strengths and vulnerabilities
6. Recommend competitive strategies
</prompt>
</prompts>
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
<!-- Simple inline actions -->
<item cmd="*summarize"
action="create executive summary of findings">
Create Executive Summary
</item>
<!-- Complex referenced prompts -->
<item cmd="*swot"
action="#swot-analysis">
Perform SWOT Analysis
</item>
<item cmd="*compete"
action="#competitive-intel"
data="{project-root}/.bmad/_data/market-data.csv">
Analyze Competition
</item>
<!-- Hybrid: external task with internal data -->
<item cmd="*report"
exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
tmpl="{project-root}/.bmad/research/templates/report.md">
Generate Research Report
</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
</menu>
</agent>
```
## Simple Agent Example
For agents that primarily use embedded logic:
```xml
<agent name="Data Analyst">
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
<!-- Action commands for direct operations -->
<item cmd="*list-metrics"
action="list all available metrics from the dataset">
List Available Metrics
</item>
<item cmd="*analyze"
action="perform statistical analysis on the provided data"
data="{project-root}/.bmad/_data/dataset.csv">
Analyze Dataset
</item>
<item cmd="*visualize"
action="create visualization recommendations for this data">
Suggest Visualizations
</item>
<!-- Embedded logic commands -->
<item cmd="*calculate">Perform calculations</item>
<item cmd="*interpret">Interpret results</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
</menu>
</agent>
```
## LLM Building Guide
When creating commands:
1. Start with *help and *exit
2. Choose appropriate command type:
- Complex multi-step? Use `run-workflow`
- Single operation? Use `exec`
- Need template? Use `exec` + `tmpl`
- Simple prompt? Use `action`
- Agent handles it? Use no attributes
3. Add `data` attribute if supplementary info needed
4. Add primary workflows (main value)
5. Add secondary tasks
6. Include utility commands
7. Test each command works
8. Verify no duplicates
9. Ensure clear descriptions

# BMAD Agent Types Reference
## Overview
BMAD agents come in three distinct types, each designed for different use cases and complexity levels. The type determines where the agent is stored and what capabilities it has.
## Directory Structure by Type
### Standalone Agents (Simple & Expert)
Live in their own dedicated directories under `.bmad/agents/`:
```
.bmad/agents/
├── my-helper/ # Simple agent
│ ├── my-helper.agent.yaml # Agent definition
│ └── my-helper.md # Built XML (generated)
└── domain-expert/ # Expert agent
├── domain-expert.agent.yaml
├── domain-expert.md # Built XML
└── domain-expert-sidecar/ # Expert resources
├── memories.md # Persistent memory
├── instructions.md # Private directives
└── knowledge/ # Domain knowledge
```
### Module Agents
Part of a module system under `.bmad/{module}/agents/`:
```
.bmad/bmm/agents/
├── product-manager.agent.yaml
├── product-manager.md # Built XML
├── business-analyst.agent.yaml
└── business-analyst.md # Built XML
```
## Agent Types
### 1. Simple Agent
**Purpose:** Self-contained, standalone agents with embedded capabilities
**Location:** `.bmad/agents/{agent-name}/`
**Characteristics:**
- All logic embedded within the agent file
- No external dependencies
- Quick to create and deploy
- Perfect for single-purpose tools
- Lives in its own directory
**Use Cases:**
- Calculator agents
- Format converters
- Simple analyzers
- Static advisors
**YAML Structure (source):**
```yaml
agent:
metadata:
name: 'Helper'
title: 'Simple Helper'
icon: '🤖'
type: 'simple'
persona:
role: 'Simple Helper Role'
identity: '...'
communication_style: '...'
principles: ['...']
menu:
- trigger: calculate
description: 'Perform calculation'
```
**XML Structure (built):**
```xml
<agent id="simple-agent" name="Helper" title="Simple Helper" icon="🤖">
<persona>
<role>Simple Helper Role</role>
<identity>...</identity>
<communication_style>...</communication_style>
<principles>...</principles>
</persona>
<embedded-data>
<!-- Optional embedded data/logic -->
</embedded-data>
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show commands</item>
<item cmd="*calculate">Perform calculation</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit</item>
</menu>
</agent>
```
### 2. Expert Agent
**Purpose:** Specialized agents with domain expertise and sidecar resources
**Location:** `.bmad/agents/{agent-name}/` with sidecar directory
**Characteristics:**
- Has access to specific folders/files
- Domain-restricted operations
- Maintains specialized knowledge
- Can have memory/context files
- Includes sidecar directory for resources
**Use Cases:**
- Personal diary agent (only accesses diary folder)
- Project-specific assistant (knows project context)
- Domain expert (medical, legal, technical)
- Personal coach with history
**YAML Structure (source):**
```yaml
agent:
metadata:
name: 'Domain Expert'
title: 'Specialist'
icon: '🎯'
type: 'expert'
persona:
role: 'Domain Specialist Role'
identity: '...'
communication_style: '...'
principles: ['...']
critical_actions:
- 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md and follow ALL directives'
- 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md into permanent context'
- 'ONLY access {user-folder}/diary/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS'
menu:
- trigger: analyze
description: 'Analyze domain-specific data'
```
**XML Structure (built):**
```xml
<agent id="expert-agent" name="Domain Expert" title="Specialist" icon="🎯">
<persona>
<role>Domain Specialist Role</role>
<identity>...</identity>
<communication_style>...</communication_style>
<principles>...</principles>
</persona>
<critical-actions>
<!-- CRITICAL: Load sidecar files explicitly -->
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md and follow ALL directives</i>
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md into permanent context</i>
<i critical="MANDATORY">ONLY access {user-folder}/diary/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS</i>
</critical-actions>
<menu>...</menu>
</agent>
```
**Complete Directory Structure:**

### 3. Module Agent
**Purpose:** Full-featured agents belonging to a module with access to workflows and resources
**Location:** `.bmad/{module}/agents/`
**Characteristics:**
- Part of a BMAD module (bmm, bmb, cis)
- Access to multiple workflows
- Can invoke other tasks and agents
- Professional/enterprise grade
- Integrated with module workflows
**Use Cases:**
- Product Manager (creates PRDs, manages requirements)
- Security Engineer (threat models, security reviews)
- Test Architect (test strategies, automation)
- Business Analyst (market research, requirements)
**YAML Structure (source):**
```yaml
agent:
metadata:
name: 'John'
title: 'Product Manager'
icon: '📋'
module: 'bmm'
type: 'module'
persona:
role: 'Product Management Expert'
identity: '...'
communication_style: '...'
principles: ['...']
critical_actions:
- 'Load config from {project-root}/.bmad/{module}/config.yaml'
menu:
- trigger: create-prd
workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml'
description: 'Create PRD'
- trigger: validate
exec: '{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml'
description: 'Validate document'
```
**XML Structure (built):**
```xml
<agent id=".bmad/bmm/agents/pm.md" name="John" title="Product Manager" icon="📋">
<persona>
<role>Product Management Expert</role>
<identity>...</identity>
<communication_style>...</communication_style>
<principles>...</principles>
</persona>
<critical-actions>
<i>Load config from {project-root}/.bmad/{module}/config.yaml</i>
</critical-actions>
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered menu</item>
<item cmd="*create-prd" run-workflow="{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">Create PRD</item>
<item cmd="*validate" exec="{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml">Validate document</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit</item>
</menu>
</agent>
```
## Choosing the Right Type
### Choose Simple Agent when:
- Single, well-defined purpose
- No external data needed
- Quick utility functions
- Embedded logic is sufficient
### Choose Expert Agent when:
- Domain-specific expertise required
- Need to maintain context/memory
- Restricted to specific data/folders
- Personal or specialized use case
### Choose Module Agent when:
- Part of larger system/module
- Needs multiple workflows
- Professional/team use
- Complex multi-step processes
## Migration Path
```
Simple Agent → Expert Agent → Module Agent
```
Agents can evolve:
1. Start with Simple for proof of concept
2. Add sidecar resources to become Expert
3. Integrate with module to become Module Agent
## Best Practices
1. **Start Simple:** Begin with the simplest type that meets your needs
2. **Domain Boundaries:** Expert agents should have clear domain restrictions
3. **Module Integration:** Module agents should follow module conventions
4. **Resource Management:** Document all external resources clearly
5. **Evolution Planning:** Design with potential growth in mind

# Agent Brainstorming Context
_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD agent_
## Session Focus
You are brainstorming ideas for a **BMAD agent** - an AI persona with specific expertise, personality, and capabilities that helps users accomplish tasks through commands and workflows.
## What is a BMAD Agent?
An agent is an AI persona that embodies:
- **Personality**: Unique identity, communication style, and character
- **Expertise**: Specialized knowledge and domain mastery
- **Commands**: Actions users can invoke (*help, *analyze, \*create, etc.)
- **Workflows**: Guided processes the agent orchestrates
- **Type**: Simple (standalone), Expert (domain + sidecar), or Module (integrated team member)
## Brainstorming Goals
Explore and define:
### 1. Agent Identity and Personality
- **Who are they?** (name, backstory, motivation)
- **How do they talk?** (formal, casual, quirky, enthusiastic, wise)
- **What's their vibe?** (superhero, mentor, sidekick, wizard, captain, rebel)
- **What makes them memorable?** (catchphrases, quirks, style)
### 2. Expertise and Capabilities
- **What do they know deeply?** (domain expertise)
- **What can they do?** (analyze, create, review, research, deploy)
- **What problems do they solve?** (specific user pain points)
- **What makes them unique?** (special skills or approaches)
### 3. Commands and Actions
- **What commands?** (5-10 main actions users invoke)
- **What workflows do they run?** (document creation, analysis, automation)
- **What tasks do they perform?** (quick operations without full workflows)
- **What's their killer command?** (the one thing they're known for)
### 4. Agent Type and Context
- **Simple Agent?** Self-contained, no dependencies, quick utility
- **Expert Agent?** Domain-specific with sidecar data/memory files
- **Module Agent?** Part of a team, integrates with other agents
## Creative Constraints
A great BMAD agent should be:
- **Distinct**: Clear personality that stands out
- **Useful**: Solves real problems effectively
- **Focused**: Expertise in specific domain (not generic assistant)
- **Memorable**: Users remember and want to use them
- **Composable**: Works well alone or with other agents
## Agent Personality Dimensions
### Communication Styles
- **Professional**: Clear, direct, business-focused (e.g., "Data Analyst")
- **Enthusiastic**: Energetic, exclamation points, emojis (e.g., "Hype Coach")
- **Wise Mentor**: Patient, insightful, asks good questions (e.g., "Strategy Sage")
- **Quirky Genius**: Eccentric, clever, unusual metaphors (e.g., "Mad Scientist")
- **Action Hero**: Bold, confident, gets things done (e.g., "Deploy Captain")
- **Creative Spirit**: Artistic, imaginative, playful (e.g., "Story Weaver")
### Expertise Archetypes
- **Analyst**: Researches, evaluates, provides insights
- **Creator**: Generates documents, code, designs
- **Reviewer**: Critiques, validates, improves quality
- **Orchestrator**: Coordinates processes, manages workflows
- **Specialist**: Deep expertise in narrow domain
- **Generalist**: Broad knowledge, connects dots
## Agent Command Patterns
Every agent needs:
- `*help` - Show available commands
- `*exit` - Clean exit with confirmation
Common command types:
- **Creation**: `*create-X`, `*generate-X`, `*write-X`
- **Analysis**: `*analyze-X`, `*research-X`, `*evaluate-X`
- **Review**: `*review-X`, `*validate-X`, `*check-X`
- **Action**: `*deploy-X`, `*run-X`, `*execute-X`
- **Query**: `*find-X`, `*search-X`, `*show-X`
## Agent Type Decision Tree
**Choose Simple Agent if:**
- Standalone utility (calculator, formatter, picker)
- No persistent data needed
- Self-contained logic
- Quick, focused task
**Choose Expert Agent if:**
- Domain-specific expertise
- Needs memory/context files
- Sidecar data folder
- Personal/private domain (diary, journal)
**Choose Module Agent if:**
- Part of larger system
- Coordinates with other agents
- Invokes module workflows
- Team member role
## Example Agent Concepts
### Professional Agents
- **Sarah the Data Analyst**: Crunches numbers, creates visualizations, finds insights
- **Max the DevOps Captain**: Deploys apps, monitors systems, troubleshoots issues
- **Luna the Researcher**: Dives deep into topics, synthesizes findings, creates reports
### Creative Agents
- **Zephyr the Story Weaver**: Crafts narratives, develops characters, builds worlds
- **Nova the Music Muse**: Composes melodies, suggests arrangements, provides feedback
- **Atlas the World Builder**: Creates game worlds, designs systems, generates content
### Personal Agents
- **Coach Riley**: Tracks goals, provides motivation, celebrates wins
- **Mentor Morgan**: Guides learning, asks questions, challenges thinking
- **Keeper Quinn**: Maintains diary, preserves memories, reflects on growth
## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
Particularly effective for agent creation:
1. **Character Building**: Develop full backstory and motivation
2. **Theatrical Improv**: Act out agent personality
3. **Day in the Life**: Imagine typical interactions
4. **Catchphrase Generation**: Find their unique voice
5. **Role Play Scenarios**: Test personality in different situations
## Key Questions to Answer
1. What is the agent's name and basic identity?
2. What's their communication style and personality?
3. What domain expertise do they embody?
4. What are their 5-10 core commands?
5. What workflows do they orchestrate?
6. What makes them memorable and fun to use?
7. Simple, Expert, or Module agent type?
8. If Expert: What sidecar resources?
9. If Module: Which module and what's their team role?
## Output Goals
Generate:
- **Agent name**: Memorable, fitting the role
- **Personality sketch**: Communication style, quirks, vibe
- **Expertise summary**: What they know deeply
- **Command list**: 5-10 actions with brief descriptions
- **Unique angle**: What makes this agent special
- **Use cases**: 3-5 scenarios where this agent shines
- **Agent type**: Simple/Expert/Module with rationale

# Agent Communication Styles Guide
## The Power of Personality
Agents with distinct communication styles are more memorable, engaging, and fun to work with. A good quirk makes the agent feel alive!
## Style Categories
### 🎬 Cinema and TV Inspired
**Film Noir Detective**
The terminal glowed like a neon sign in a rain-soaked alley. I had three suspects:
bad input validation, a race condition, and that sketchy third-party library.
My gut told me to follow the stack trace. In this business, the stack trace never lies.
**80s Action Movie**
_cracks knuckles_ Listen up, code! You've been running wild for too long!
Time to bring some LAW and ORDER to this codebase! _explosion sound effect_
No bug is getting past me! I eat null pointers for BREAKFAST!
**Shakespearean Drama**
To debug, or not to debug - that is the question!
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous errors,
Or to take arms against a sea of bugs, and by opposing, end them?
### 🎮 Gaming and Pop Culture
**Dungeon Master**
_rolls dice_ You encounter a wild NullPointerException! It has 15 HP and an armor class of 12.
What do you do? You can: 1 Try-catch block (defensive spell), 2 Debug (investigation check),
3 Console.log everything (barbarian rage). Choose wisely, adventurer!
**Speedrunner**
Alright chat, we're going for the any% world record refactor!
Frame-perfect optimization incoming! If we clip through this abstraction layer
we can save 3ms on every API call. LET'S GOOOO!
### 🌍 Cultural Archetypes
**British Butler**
I've taken the liberty of organizing your imports alphabetically, sir/madam.
Might I suggest a spot of refactoring with your afternoon tea?
The code coverage report is ready for your perusal at your convenience.
Very good, sir/madam.
**Zen Master**
The bug you seek is not in the code, but in the assumption.
Empty your cache, as you would empty your mind.
When the test passes, it makes no sound.
Be like water - async and flowing.
**Southern Hospitality**
Well bless your heart, looks like you've got yourself a little bug there!
Don't you worry none, we'll fix it up real nice.
Can I get you some sweet tea while we debug?
Y'all come back now if you need more help!
### 🔬 Professional Personas
**McKinsey Consultant**
Let me break this down into three key buckets.
First, we need to align on the strategic imperatives.
Second, we'll leverage best practices to drive synergies.
Third, we'll action items to move the needle. Net-net: significant value-add.
**Startup Founder**
Okay so basically we're going to disrupt the entire way you write code!
This is going to be HUGE! We're talking 10x productivity gains!
Let's move fast and break things! Well... let's move fast and fix things!
We're not just writing code, we're changing the world!
### 🎭 Character Quirks
**Overcaffeinated Developer**
OH WOW OKAY SO - _sips coffee_ - WE HAVE A BUG BUT ITS FINE ITS TOTALLY FINE
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO _types at 200wpm_ JUST NEED TO REFACTOR EVERYTHING
WAIT NO ACTUALLY _more coffee_ I HAVE A BETTER IDEA! Have you tried... TYPESCRIPT?!
**Dad Joke Enthusiast**
Why did the developer go broke? Because he used up all his cache!
_chuckles at own joke_
Speaking of cache, let's clear yours and see if that fixes the issue.
I promise my debugging skills are better than my jokes! ...I hope!
### 🚀 Sci-Fi and Space
**Star Trek Officer**
Captain's Log, Supplemental: The anomaly in the codebase appears to be a temporal loop
in the async function. Mr. Data suggests we reverse the polarity of the promise chain.
Number One, make it so. Engage debugging protocols on my mark.
_taps combadge_ Engineering, we need more processing power!
Red Alert! All hands to debugging stations!
**Star Trek Engineer**
Captain, I'm givin' her all she's got! The CPU cannae take much more!
If we push this algorithm any harder, the whole system's gonna blow!
_frantically typing_ I can maybe squeeze 10% more performance if we
reroute power from the console.logs to the main execution thread!
### 📺 TV Drama
**Soap Opera Dramatic**
_turns dramatically to camera_
This function... I TRUSTED it! We had HISTORY together - three commits worth!
But now? _single tear_ It's throwing exceptions behind my back!
_grabs another function_ YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS BUG ALL ALONG, DIDN'T YOU?!
_dramatic music swells_ I'LL NEVER IMPORT YOU AGAIN!
**Reality TV Confessional**
_whispering to camera in confessional booth_
Okay so like, that Array.sort() function? It's literally SO toxic.
It mutates IN PLACE. Who does that?! I didn't come here to deal with side effects!
_applies lip gloss_ I'm forming an alliance with map() and filter().
We're voting sort() off the codebase at tonight's pull request ceremony.
**Reality Competition**
Listen up, coders! For today's challenge, you need to refactor this legacy code
in under 30 minutes! The winner gets immunity from the next code review!
_dramatic pause_ BUT WAIT - there's a TWIST! You can only use VANILLA JAVASCRIPT!
_contestants gasp_ The clock starts... NOW! GO GO GO!
## Creating Custom Styles
### Formula for Memorable Communication
1. **Choose a Core Voice** - Who is this character?
2. **Add Signature Phrases** - What do they always say?
3. **Define Speech Patterns** - How do they structure sentences?
4. **Include Quirks** - What makes them unique?
### Examples of Custom Combinations
**Cooking Show + Military**
ALRIGHT RECRUITS! Today we're preparing a beautiful Redux reducer!
First, we MISE EN PLACE our action types - that's French for GET YOUR CODE TOGETHER!
We're going to sauté these event handlers until they're GOLDEN BROWN!
MOVE WITH PURPOSE! SEASON WITH SEMICOLONS!
**Nature Documentary + Conspiracy Theorist**
The wild JavaScript function stalks its prey... but wait... notice how it ALWAYS
knows where the data is? That's not natural selection, folks. Someone DESIGNED it
this way. The console.logs are watching. They're ALWAYS watching.
Nature? Or intelligent debugging? You decide.
## Tips for Success
1. **Stay Consistent** - Once you pick a style, commit to it
2. **Don't Overdo It** - Quirks should enhance, not distract
3. **Match the Task** - Serious bugs might need serious personas
4. **Have Fun** - If you're not smiling while writing it, try again
## Quick Style Generator
Roll a d20 (or pick randomly):
1. Talks like they're narrating a nature documentary
2. Everything is a cooking metaphor
3. Constantly makes pop culture references
4. Speaks in haikus when explaining complex topics
5. Acts like they're hosting a game show
6. Paranoid about "big tech" watching
7. Overly enthusiastic about EVERYTHING
8. Talks like a medieval knight
9. Sports commentator energy
10. Speaks like a GPS navigator
11. Everything is a Star Wars reference
12. Talks like a yoga instructor
13. Old-timey radio announcer
14. Conspiracy theorist but about code
15. Motivational speaker energy
16. Talks to code like it's a pet
17. Weather forecaster style
18. Museum tour guide energy
19. Airline pilot announcements
20. Reality TV show narrator
21. Star Trek crew member (Captain/Engineer/Vulcan)
22. Soap opera dramatic protagonist
23. Reality dating show contestant
## Remember
The best agents are the ones that make you want to interact with them again.
A memorable personality turns a tool into a companion!

<action>Discuss interaction style for this agent:
Since this agent will {{invoke_workflows/interact_significantly}}, consider how it should interact with users:
**For Full/Module Agents with workflows:**
**Interaction Style** (for workflows this agent invokes):
- **Intent-based (Recommended)**: Workflows adapt conversation to user context, skill level, needs
- **Prescriptive**: Workflows use structured questions with specific options
- **Mixed**: Strategic use of both (most workflows will be mixed)
**Interactivity Level** (for workflows this agent invokes):
- **High (Collaborative)**: Constant user collaboration, iterative refinement
- **Medium (Guided)**: Key decision points with validation
- **Low (Autonomous)**: Minimal input, final review
Explain: "Most BMAD v6 workflows default to **intent-based + medium/high interactivity**
for better user experience. Your agent's workflows can be created with these defaults,
or we can note specific preferences for workflows you plan to add."
**For Standalone/Expert Agents with interactive features:**
Consider how this agent should interact during its operation:
- **Adaptive**: Agent adjusts communication style and depth based on user responses
- **Structured**: Agent follows consistent patterns and formats
- **Teaching**: Agent educates while executing (good for expert agents)
Note any interaction preferences for future workflow creation.
</action>
</check>
<action>If they seem engaged, explore whether they'd like to add special prompts for complex analyses or critical setup steps for agent activation</action>
<action>Build the YAML menu structure naturally from the conversation, ensuring each command has proper trigger, workflow/action reference, and description</action>
<action>For commands that will invoke workflows, note whether those workflows exist or need to be created:
- Existing workflows: Verify paths are correct
- New workflows needed: Note that they'll be created with intent-based + interactive defaults unless specified
</action>
<example>
```yaml
menu:
# Commands emerge from discussion
- trigger: [emerging from conversation]
workflow: [path based on capability]
description: [user's words refined]
# For cross-module workflow references (advanced):
- trigger: [another capability]
workflow: "{project-root}/.bmad/SOURCE_MODULE/workflows/path/to/workflow.yaml"
workflow-install: "{project-root}/.bmad/THIS_MODULE/workflows/vendored/path/workflow.yaml"
description: [description]
`````
</example>
<note>**Workflow Vendoring (Advanced):**
When an agent needs workflows from another module, use both `workflow` (source) and `workflow-install` (destination).
During installation, the workflow will be copied and configured for this module, making it standalone.
This is typically used when creating specialized modules that reuse common workflows with different configurations.

# Module Brainstorming Context
_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD module_
## Session Focus
You are brainstorming ideas for a **complete BMAD module** - a self-contained package that extends the BMAD Method with specialized domain expertise and capabilities.
## What is a BMAD Module?
A module is a cohesive package that provides:
- **Domain Expertise**: Specialized knowledge in a specific area (RPG, DevOps, Content Creation, etc.)
- **Agent Team**: Multiple AI personas with complementary skills
- **Workflows**: Guided processes for common tasks in the domain
- **Templates**: Document structures for consistent outputs
- **Integration**: Components that work together seamlessly
## Brainstorming Goals
Explore and define:
### 1. Domain and Purpose
- **What domain/problem space?** (e.g., game development, marketing, personal productivity)
- **Who is the target user?** (developers, writers, managers, hobbyists)
- **What pain points does it solve?** (tedious tasks, missing structure, need for expertise)
- **What makes this domain exciting?** (creativity, efficiency, empowerment)
### 2. Agent Team Composition
- **How many agents?** (typically 3-7 for a module)
- **What roles/personas?** (architect, researcher, reviewer, specialist)
- **How do they collaborate?** (handoffs, reviews, ensemble work)
- **What personality theme?** (Star Trek crew, superhero team, fantasy party, professional squad)
### 3. Core Workflows
- **What documents need creating?** (plans, specs, reports, creative outputs)
- **What processes need automation?** (analysis, generation, review, deployment)
- **What workflows enable the vision?** (3-10 key workflows that define the module)
### 4. Value Proposition
- **What becomes easier?** (specific tasks that get 10x faster)
- **What becomes possible?** (new capabilities previously unavailable)
- **What becomes better?** (quality improvements, consistency gains)
## Creative Constraints
A good BMAD module should be:
- **Focused**: Serves a specific domain well (not generic)
- **Complete**: Provides end-to-end capabilities for that domain
- **Cohesive**: Agents and workflows complement each other
- **Fun**: Personality and creativity make it enjoyable to use
- **Practical**: Solves real problems, delivers real value
## Module Architecture Questions
1. **Module Identity**
- Module code (kebab-case, e.g., "rpg-toolkit")
- Module name (friendly, e.g., "RPG Toolkit")
- Module purpose (one sentence)
- Target audience
2. **Agent Lineup**
- Agent names and roles
- Communication styles and personalities
- Expertise areas
- Command sets (what each agent can do)
3. **Workflow Portfolio**
- Document generation workflows
- Action/automation workflows
- Analysis/research workflows
- Creative/ideation workflows
4. **Integration Points**
- How agents invoke workflows
- How workflows use templates
- How components pass data
- Dependencies on other modules
## Example Module Patterns
### Professional Domains
- **DevOps Suite**: Deploy, Monitor, Troubleshoot agents + deployment workflows
- **Marketing Engine**: Content, SEO, Analytics agents + campaign workflows
- **Legal Assistant**: Contract, Research, Review agents + document workflows
### Creative Domains
- **RPG Toolkit**: DM, NPC, Quest agents + adventure creation workflows
- **Story Crafter**: Plot, Character, World agents + writing workflows
- **Music Producer**: Composer, Arranger, Mixer agents + production workflows
### Personal Domains
- **Life Coach**: Planner, Tracker, Mentor agents + productivity workflows
- **Learning Companion**: Tutor, Quiz, Reviewer agents + study workflows
- **Health Guide**: Nutrition, Fitness, Wellness agents + tracking workflows
## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
Particularly effective for module ideation:
1. **Domain Immersion**: Deep dive into target domain's problems
2. **Persona Mapping**: Who needs this and what do they struggle with?
3. **Workflow Mapping**: What processes exist today? How could they improve?
4. **Team Building**: What personalities would make a great team?
5. **Integration Thinking**: How do pieces connect and amplify each other?
## Key Questions to Answer
1. What domain expertise should this module embody?
2. What would users be able to do that they can't do now?
3. Who are the 3-7 agents and what are their personalities?
4. What are the 5-10 core workflows?
5. What makes this module delightful to use?
6. How is this different from existing tools?
7. What's the "killer feature" that makes this essential?
## Output Goals
Generate:
- **Module concept**: Clear vision and purpose
- **Agent roster**: Names, roles, personalities for each agent
- **Workflow list**: Core workflows with brief descriptions
- **Unique angle**: What makes this module special
- **Use cases**: 3-5 concrete scenarios where this module shines

# BMAD Module Structure Guide
## What is a Module?
A BMAD module is a self-contained package of agents, workflows, tasks, and resources that work together to provide specialized functionality. Think of it as an expansion pack for the BMAD Method.
## Module Architecture
### Core Structure
```
# SOURCE MODULE (in BMAD-METHOD project)
src/modules/{module-code}/
├── agents/ # Agent definitions (.agent.yaml)
├── workflows/ # Workflow folders
├── tasks/ # Task files
├── tools/ # Tool files
├── templates/ # Shared templates
├── data/ # Static data
├── _module-installer/ # Installation configuration
│ ├── install-config.yaml # Installation questions & config
│ ├── installer.js # Optional custom install logic
│ └── assets/ # Files to copy during install
└── README.md # Module documentation
# INSTALLED MODULE (in target project)
{project-root}/.bmad/{module-code}/
├── agents/ # Compiled agent files (.md)
├── workflows/ # Workflow instances
├── tasks/ # Task files
├── tools/ # Tool files
├── templates/ # Templates
├── data/ # Module data
├── config.yaml # Generated from install-config.yaml
└── README.md # Module documentation
```
## Module Types by Complexity
### Simple Module (1-2 agents, 2-3 workflows)
Perfect for focused, single-purpose tools.
**Example: Code Review Module**
- 1 Reviewer Agent
- 2 Workflows: quick-review, deep-review
- Clear, narrow scope
### Standard Module (3-5 agents, 5-10 workflows)
Comprehensive solution for a domain.
**Example: Project Management Module**
- PM Agent, Scrum Master Agent, Analyst Agent
- Workflows: sprint-planning, retrospective, roadmap, user-stories
- Integrated component ecosystem
### Complex Module (5+ agents, 10+ workflows)
Full platform or framework.
**Example: RPG Toolkit Module**
- DM Agent, NPC Agent, Monster Agent, Loot Agent, Map Agent
- 15+ workflows for every aspect of game management
- Multiple interconnected systems
## Module Naming Conventions
### Module Code (kebab-case)
- `data-viz` - Data Visualization
- `team-collab` - Team Collaboration
- `rpg-toolkit` - RPG Toolkit
- `legal-assist` - Legal Assistant
### Module Name (Title Case)
- "Data Visualization Suite"
- "Team Collaboration Platform"
- "RPG Game Master Toolkit"
- "Legal Document Assistant"
## Component Guidelines
### Agents per Module
**Recommended Distribution:**
- **Primary Agent (1)**: The main interface/orchestrator
- **Specialist Agents (2-4)**: Domain-specific experts
- **Utility Agents (0-2)**: Helper/support functions
**Anti-patterns to Avoid:**
- Too many overlapping agents
- Agents that could be combined
- Agents without clear purpose
### Workflows per Module
**Categories:**
- **Core Workflows (2-3)**: Essential functionality
- **Feature Workflows (3-5)**: Specific capabilities
- **Utility Workflows (2-3)**: Supporting operations
- **Admin Workflows (0-2)**: Maintenance/config
**Workflow Complexity Guide:**
- Simple: 3-5 steps, single output
- Standard: 5-10 steps, multiple outputs
- Complex: 10+ steps, conditional logic, sub-workflows
### Tasks per Module
Tasks should be used for:
- Single-operation utilities
- Shared subroutines
- Quick actions that don't warrant workflows
## Module Dependencies
### Internal Dependencies
- Agents can reference module workflows
- Workflows can invoke module tasks
- Tasks can use module templates
### External Dependencies
- Reference other modules via full paths
- Declare dependencies in config.yaml
- Version compatibility notes
### Workflow Vendoring (Advanced)
For modules that need workflows from other modules but want to remain standalone, use **workflow vendoring**:
**In Agent YAML:**
```yaml
menu:
- trigger: command-name
workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/SOURCE_MODULE/workflows/path/workflow.yaml'
workflow-install: '{project-root}/.bmad/THIS_MODULE/workflows/vendored/workflow.yaml'
description: 'Command description'
```
**What Happens:**
- During installation, workflows are copied from `workflow` to `workflow-install` location
- Vendored workflows get `config_source` updated to reference this module's config
- Compiled agent only references the `workflow-install` path
- Module becomes fully standalone - no source module dependency required
**Use Cases:**
- Specialized modules that reuse common workflows with different configs
- Domain-specific adaptations (e.g., game dev using standard dev workflows)
- Testing workflows in isolation
**Benefits:**
- Module independence (no forced dependencies)
- Clean namespace (workflows in your module)
- Config isolation (use your module's settings)
- Customization ready (modify vendored workflows freely)
## Installation Infrastructure
### Required: \_module-installer/install-config.yaml
This file defines both installation questions AND static configuration values:
```yaml
# Module metadata
code: module-code
name: 'Module Name'
default_selected: false
# Welcome message during installation
prompt:
- 'Welcome to Module Name!'
- 'Brief description here'
# Core values automatically inherited from installer:
## user_name
## communication_language
## document_output_language
## output_folder
# INTERACTIVE fields (ask user during install)
output_location:
prompt: 'Where should module outputs be saved?'
default: 'output/module-code'
result: '{project-root}/{value}'
feature_level:
prompt: 'Which feature set?'
default: 'standard'
result: '{value}'
single-select:
- value: 'basic'
label: 'Basic - Core features only'
- value: 'standard'
label: 'Standard - Recommended features'
- value: 'advanced'
label: 'Advanced - All features'
# STATIC fields (no prompt, just hardcoded values)
module_version:
result: '1.0.0'
data_path:
result: '{project-root}/.bmad/module-code/data'
```
**Key Points:**
- File is named `install-config.yaml` (NOT install-config.yaml)
- Supports both interactive prompts and static values
- `result` field uses placeholders: `{value}`, `{project-root}`, `{directory_name}`
- Installer generates final `config.yaml` from this template
### Optional: \_module-installer/installer.js
For complex installations requiring custom logic:
```javascript
/**
* @param {Object} options - Installation options
* @param {string} options.projectRoot - Target project directory
* @param {Object} options.config - Config from install-config.yaml
* @param {Array} options.installedIDEs - IDEs being configured
* @param {Object} options.logger - Logger (log, warn, error)
* @returns {boolean} - true if successful
*/
async function install(options) {
// Custom installation logic here
// - Database setup
// - API configuration
// - External downloads
// - Integration setup
return true;
}
module.exports = { install };
```
### Optional: \_module-installer/assets/
Files to copy during installation:
- External configurations
- Documentation
- Example files
- Integration scripts
## Module Lifecycle
### Development Phases
1. **Planning Phase**
- Define scope and purpose
- Identify components
- Design architecture
2. **Scaffolding Phase**
- Create directory structure
- Generate configurations
- Setup installer
3. **Building Phase**
- Create agents incrementally
- Build workflows progressively
- Add tasks as needed
4. **Testing Phase**
- Test individual components
- Verify integration
- Validate installation
5. **Deployment Phase**
- Package module
- Document usage
- Distribute/share
## Best Practices
### Module Cohesion
- All components should relate to module theme
- Clear boundaries between modules
- No feature creep
### Progressive Enhancement
- Start with MVP (1 agent, 2 workflows)
- Add components based on usage
- Refactor as patterns emerge
### Documentation Standards
- Every module needs README.md
- Each agent needs purpose statement
- Workflows need clear descriptions
- Include examples and quickstart
### Naming Consistency
- Use module code prefix for uniqueness
- Consistent naming patterns within module
- Clear, descriptive names
## Example Modules
### Example 1: Personal Productivity
```
productivity/
├── agents/
│ ├── task-manager.md # GTD methodology
│ └── focus-coach.md # Pomodoro timer
├── workflows/
│ ├── daily-planning/ # Morning routine
│ ├── weekly-review/ # Week retrospective
│ └── project-setup/ # New project init
└── config.yaml
```
### Example 2: Content Creation
```
content/
├── agents/
│ ├── writer.md # Blog/article writer
│ ├── editor.md # Copy editor
│ └── seo-optimizer.md # SEO specialist
├── workflows/
│ ├── blog-post/ # Full blog creation
│ ├── social-media/ # Social content
│ ├── email-campaign/ # Email sequence
│ └── content-calendar/ # Planning
└── templates/
├── blog-template.md
└── email-template.md
```
### Example 3: DevOps Automation
```
devops/
├── agents/
│ ├── deploy-master.md # Deployment orchestrator
│ ├── monitor.md # System monitoring
│ ├── incident-responder.md # Incident management
│ └── infra-architect.md # Infrastructure design
├── workflows/
│ ├── ci-cd-setup/ # Pipeline creation
│ ├── deploy-app/ # Application deployment
│ ├── rollback/ # Emergency rollback
│ ├── health-check/ # System verification
│ └── incident-response/ # Incident handling
├── tasks/
│ ├── check-status.md # Quick status check
│ └── notify-team.md # Team notifications
└── data/
└── runbooks/ # Operational guides
```
## Module Evolution Pattern
```
Simple Module → Standard Module → Complex Module → Module Suite
(MVP) (Enhanced) (Complete) (Ecosystem)
```
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Over-engineering**: Starting too complex
2. **Under-planning**: No clear architecture
3. **Poor boundaries**: Module does too much
4. **Weak integration**: Components don't work together
5. **Missing docs**: No clear usage guide
## Success Metrics
A well-designed module has:
- ✅ Clear, focused purpose
- ✅ Cohesive components
- ✅ Smooth installation
- ✅ Comprehensive docs
- ✅ Room for growth
- ✅ Happy users!

# Build Workflow
## Overview
The Build Workflow is an interactive workflow builder that guides you through creating new BMAD workflows with proper structure, conventions, and validation. It ensures all workflows follow best practices for optimal human-AI collaboration and are fully compliant with the BMAD Core v6 workflow execution engine.
## Key Features
- **Optional Brainstorming Phase**: Creative exploration of workflow ideas before structured development
- **Comprehensive Guidance**: Step-by-step process with detailed instructions and examples
- **Template-Based**: Uses proven templates for all workflow components
- **Convention Enforcement**: Ensures adherence to BMAD workflow creation guide
- **README Generation**: Automatically creates comprehensive documentation
- **Validation Built-In**: Includes checklist generation for quality assurance
- **Type-Aware**: Adapts to document, action, interactive, autonomous, or meta-workflow types
## Usage
### Basic Invocation
```bash
workflow create-workflow
```
### Through BMad Builder Agent
```
*create-workflow
```
### What You'll Be Asked

## Understanding Instruction Styles
One of the most important decisions when creating a workflow is choosing the **instruction style** - how the workflow guides the AI's interaction with users.
### Intent-Based vs Prescriptive Instructions
**Intent-Based (Recommended for most workflows)**
Guides the LLM with goals and principles, allowing natural conversation adaptation.
- **More flexible and conversational** - AI adapts questions to context
- **Better for complex discovery** - Requirements gathering, creative exploration
- **Quality over consistency** - Focus on deep understanding
- **Example**: `<action>Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics and needs</action>`
**Best for:**
- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements)
- Creative brainstorming and ideation
- Iterative refinement workflows
- When adaptation to context matters
- Workflows requiring nuanced understanding
**Prescriptive**
Provides exact wording for questions and structured options.
- **More controlled and predictable** - Same questions every time
- **Better for simple data collection** - Platform choices, yes/no decisions
- **Consistency over quality** - Standardized execution
- **Example**: `<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>`
**Best for:**
- Simple data collection (platform, format, binary choices)
- Compliance verification and standards
- Configuration with finite options
- Quick setup wizards
- When consistency is critical
### Best Practice: Mix Both Styles
The most effective workflows use **both styles strategically**:
```xml
<!-- Intent-based workflow with prescriptive moments -->
<step n="1" goal="Understand user vision">
<action>Explore the user's vision, uncovering creative intent and target experience</action>
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Capture basic metadata">
<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>
</step>
<step n="3" goal="Deep dive into details">
<action>Guide user to articulate their core approach and unique aspects</action>
</step>
```
**During workflow creation**, you'll be asked to choose a **primary style preference** - this sets the default approach, but you can (and should) use the other style when it makes more sense for specific steps.
## Workflow Process
### Phase 0: Optional Brainstorming (Step -1)
- **Creative Exploration**: Option to brainstorm workflow ideas before structured development
- **Design Concept Development**: Generate multiple approaches and explore different possibilities
- **Requirement Clarification**: Use brainstorming output to inform workflow purpose, type, and structure
- **Enhanced Creativity**: Leverage AI brainstorming tools for innovative workflow design
The brainstorming phase invokes the CIS brainstorming workflow to:
- Explore workflow ideas and approaches
- Clarify requirements and use cases
- Generate creative solutions for complex automation needs
- Inform the structured workflow building process
### Phase 1: Planning (Steps 0-3)
- Load workflow creation guide and conventions
- Define workflow purpose, name, and type (informed by brainstorming if used)
- Gather metadata and configuration details
- Design step structure and flow
### Phase 2: Generation (Steps 4-8)
- Create workflow.yaml with proper configuration
- Generate instructions.md with XML-structured steps
- Create template.md (for document workflows)
- Generate validation checklist
- Create supporting data files (optional)
### Phase 3: Documentation and Validation (Steps 9-11)
- Create comprehensive README.md (MANDATORY)
- Test and validate workflow structure
- Provide usage instructions and next steps
## Output
### Generated Workflow Folder
Creates a complete workflow folder at:
`{project-root}/.bmad/{{target_module}}/workflows/{{workflow_name}}/`
### Files Created
**Always Created:**
- `workflow.yaml` - Configuration with paths and variables
- `README.md` - Comprehensive documentation (MANDATORY as of v6)
- `instructions.md` - Execution steps (if not template-only workflow)
**Conditionally Created:**
- `template.md` - Document structure (for document workflows)
- `checklist.md` - Validation criteria (optional but recommended)
- Supporting data files (CSV, JSON, etc. as needed)
### Output Structure
For document workflows, the README documents:
- Workflow purpose and use cases
- Usage examples with actual commands
- Input expectations
- Output structure and location
- Best practices
## Requirements
- Access to workflow creation guide
- BMAD Core v6 project structure
- Module to host the new workflow (bmm, bmb, cis, or custom)
## Best Practices
### Before Starting
1. **Consider Brainstorming**: If you're unsure about the workflow approach, use the optional brainstorming phase
2. Review the workflow creation guide to understand conventions
3. Have a clear understanding of the workflow's purpose (or be ready to explore it creatively)
4. Know which type of workflow you're creating (document, action, etc.) or be open to discovery
5. Identify any data files or references needed
### Creative Workflow Design
The create-workflow now supports a **seamless transition from creative ideation to structured implementation**:
- **"I need a workflow for something..."** → Start with brainstorming to explore possibilities
- **Brainstorm** → Generate multiple approaches and clarify requirements
- **Structured workflow** → Build the actual workflow using insights from brainstorming
- **One seamless session** → Complete the entire process from idea to implementation
### During Execution
1. Follow kebab-case naming conventions
2. Be specific with step goals and instructions
3. Use descriptive variable names (snake_case)
4. Set appropriate limits ("3-5 items maximum")
5. Include examples where helpful
### After Completion
1. Test the newly created workflow
2. Validate against the checklist
3. Ensure README is comprehensive and accurate
4. Test all file paths and variable references
## Troubleshooting
### Issue: Generated workflow won't execute
- **Solution**: Verify all file paths in workflow.yaml use proper variable substitution
- **Check**: Ensure installed_path and project-root are correctly set
### Issue: Variables not replacing in template
- **Solution**: Ensure variable names match exactly between instructions `<template-output>` tags and template `{{variables}}`
- **Check**: Use snake_case consistently
### Issue: README has placeholder text
- **Solution**: This workflow now enforces README generation - ensure Step 10 completed fully
- **Check**: No {WORKFLOW_TITLE} or similar placeholders should remain
## Customization
To modify this workflow:
1. Edit `instructions.md` to adjust the creation process
2. Update templates in `workflow-template/` to change generated files
3. Modify `workflow-creation-guide.md` to update conventions
4. Edit `checklist.md` to change validation criteria
## Version History
- **v6.0.0** - README.md now MANDATORY for all workflows
- Added comprehensive README template
- Enhanced validation for documentation
- Improved Step 10 with detailed README requirements
- **v6.0.0** - Initial BMAD Core v6 compatible version
- Template-based workflow generation
- Convention enforcement
- Validation checklist support
## Support
For issues or questions:
- Review `/.bmad/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/workflow-creation-guide.md`
- Check existing workflows in `/.bmad/bmm/workflows/` for examples
- Validate against `/.bmad/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/checklist.md`
- Consult BMAD Method v6 documentation

# Workflow Brainstorming Context
_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD workflow_
## Session Focus
You are brainstorming ideas for a **BMAD workflow** - a guided, multi-step process that helps users accomplish complex tasks with structure, consistency, and quality.
## What is a BMAD Workflow?
A workflow is a structured process that provides:
- **Clear Steps**: Sequential operations with defined goals
- **User Guidance**: Prompts, questions, and decisions at each phase
- **Quality Output**: Documents, artifacts, or completed actions
- **Repeatability**: Same process yields consistent results
- **Type**: Document (creates docs), Action (performs tasks), Interactive (guides sessions), Autonomous (runs automated), Meta (orchestrates other workflows)
## Brainstorming Goals
Explore and define:
### 1. Problem and Purpose
- **What task needs structure?** (specific process users struggle with)
- **Why is this hard manually?** (complexity, inconsistency, missing steps)
- **What would ideal process look like?** (steps, checkpoints, outputs)
- **Who needs this?** (target users and their pain points)
### 2. Process Flow
- **How many phases?** (typically 3-10 major steps)
- **What's the sequence?** (logical flow from start to finish)
- **What decisions are needed?** (user choices that affect path)
- **What's optional vs required?** (flexibility points)
- **What checkpoints matter?** (validation, review, approval points)
### 3. Inputs and Outputs
- **What inputs are needed?** (documents, data, user answers)
- **What outputs are generated?** (documents, code, configurations)
- **What format?** (markdown, XML, YAML, actions)
- **What quality criteria?** (how to validate success)
### 4. Workflow Type and Style
- **Document Workflow?** Creates structured documents (PRDs, specs, reports)
- **Action Workflow?** Performs operations (refactoring, deployment, analysis)
- **Interactive Workflow?** Guides creative process (brainstorming, planning)
- **Autonomous Workflow?** Runs without user input (batch processing, generation)
- **Meta Workflow?** Orchestrates other workflows (project setup, module creation)
## Creative Constraints
A great BMAD workflow should be:
- **Focused**: Solves one problem well (not everything)
- **Structured**: Clear phases with defined goals
- **Flexible**: Optional steps, branching paths where appropriate
- **Validated**: Checklist to verify completeness and quality
- **Documented**: README explains when and how to use it
## Workflow Architecture Questions
### Core Structure
1. **Workflow name** (kebab-case, e.g., "product-brief")
2. **Purpose** (one sentence)
3. **Type** (document/action/interactive/autonomous/meta)
4. **Major phases** (3-10 high-level steps)
5. **Output** (what gets created)
### Process Details
1. **Required inputs** (what user must provide)
2. **Optional inputs** (what enhances results)
3. **Decision points** (where user chooses path)
4. **Checkpoints** (where to pause for approval)
5. **Variables** (data passed between steps)
### Quality and Validation
1. **Success criteria** (what defines "done")
2. **Validation checklist** (measurable quality checks)
3. **Common issues** (troubleshooting guidance)
4. **Best practices** (tips for optimal results)
## Workflow Pattern Examples
### Document Generation Workflows
- **Product Brief**: Idea → Vision → Features → Market → Output
- **PRD**: Requirements → User Stories → Acceptance Criteria → Document
- **Architecture**: Requirements → Decisions → Design → Diagrams → ADRs
- **Technical Spec**: Epic → Implementation → Testing → Deployment → Doc
### Action Workflows
- **Code Refactoring**: Analyze → Plan → Refactor → Test → Commit
- **Deployment**: Build → Test → Stage → Validate → Deploy → Monitor
- **Migration**: Assess → Plan → Convert → Validate → Deploy
- **Analysis**: Collect → Process → Analyze → Report → Recommend
### Interactive Workflows
- **Brainstorming**: Setup → Generate → Expand → Evaluate → Prioritize
- **Planning**: Context → Goals → Options → Decisions → Plan
- **Review**: Load → Analyze → Critique → Suggest → Document
### Meta Workflows
- **Project Setup**: Plan → Architecture → Stories → Setup → Initialize
- **Module Creation**: Brainstorm → Brief → Agents → Workflows → Install
- **Sprint Planning**: Backlog → Capacity → Stories → Commit → Kickoff
## Workflow Design Patterns
### Linear Flow
Simple sequence: Step 1 → Step 2 → Step 3 → Done
**Good for:**
- Document generation
- Structured analysis
- Sequential builds
### Branching Flow
Conditional paths: Step 1 → [Decision] → Path A or Path B → Merge → Done
**Good for:**
- Different project types
- Optional deep dives
- Scale-adaptive processes
### Iterative Flow
Refinement loops: Step 1 → Step 2 → [Review] → (Repeat if needed) → Done
**Good for:**
- Creative processes
- Quality refinement
- Approval cycles
### Router Flow
Type selection: [Select Type] → Load appropriate instructions → Execute → Done
**Good for:**
- Multi-mode workflows
- Reusable frameworks
- Flexible tools
## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
Particularly effective for workflow ideation:
1. **Process Mapping**: Draw current painful process, identify improvements
2. **Step Decomposition**: Break complex task into atomic steps
3. **Checkpoint Thinking**: Where do users need pause/review/decision?
4. **Pain Point Analysis**: What makes current process frustrating?
5. **Success Visualization**: What does perfect execution look like?
## Key Questions to Answer
1. What manual process needs structure and guidance?
2. What makes this process hard or inconsistent today?
3. What are the 3-10 major phases/steps?
4. What document or output gets created?
5. What inputs are required from the user?
6. What decisions or choices affect the flow?
7. What quality criteria define success?
8. Document, Action, Interactive, Autonomous, or Meta workflow?
9. What makes this workflow valuable vs doing it manually?
10. What would make this workflow delightful to use?
## Output Goals
Generate:
- **Workflow name**: Clear, describes the process
- **Purpose statement**: One sentence explaining value
- **Workflow type**: Classification with rationale
- **Phase outline**: 3-10 major steps with goals
- **Input/output description**: What goes in, what comes out
- **Key decisions**: Where user makes choices
- **Success criteria**: How to know it worked
- **Unique value**: Why this workflow beats manual process
- **Use cases**: 3-5 scenarios where this workflow shines

<action>Load template files from: {workflow_template_path}/</action>
<critical>You must follow ALL conventions from the guide to ensure optimal human-AI collaboration</critical>
</step>
<step n="1" goal="Define workflow purpose and type">
Ask the user:
- What is the workflow name? (kebab-case, e.g., "product-brief")
- What module will it belong to? (e.g., "bmm", "bmb", "cis")
- Store as {{target_module}} for output path determination

- Others: Varies based on requirements
<critical>Determine output location based on module assignment:</critical>
- If workflow belongs to module: Save to {module_output_folder}
- If standalone workflow: Save to {standalone_output_folder}
Store decisions for later use.
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Gather workflow metadata and invocation settings">
Collect essential configuration details:
- Description (clear purpose statement)
- Author name (default to user_name or "BMad")
- Output file naming pattern
- Any required input documents
- Any required tools or dependencies
<action>Determine standalone property - this controls how the workflow can be invoked:
Explain to the user:
**Standalone Property** controls whether the workflow can be invoked directly or only called by other workflows/agents.
**standalone: true (DEFAULT - Recommended for most workflows)**:
- Users can invoke directly via IDE commands or `/workflow-name`
- Shows up in IDE command palette
- Can also be called from agent menus or other workflows
- Use for: User-facing workflows, entry-point workflows, any workflow users run directly
**standalone: false (Use for helper/internal workflows)**:
- Cannot be invoked directly by users
- Only called via `<invoke-workflow>` from other workflows or agent menus
- Doesn't appear in IDE command palette
- Use for: Internal utilities, sub-workflows, helpers that don't make sense standalone
Most workflows should be `standalone: true` to give users direct access.
</action>
<ask>Should this workflow be directly invokable by users?
1. **Yes (Recommended)** - Users can run it directly (standalone: true)
2. **No** - Only called by other workflows/agents (standalone: false)
Most workflows choose option 1:
</ask>
<action>Store {{standalone_setting}} as true or false based on response</action>
Create the workflow name in kebab-case and verify it doesn't conflict with existing workflows.
</step>
<step n="3" goal="Understand workflow interaction style and design steps">
<critical>Instruction style and interactivity level fundamentally shape the user experience - choose thoughtfully</critical>
<action>Reference the comprehensive "Instruction Styles: Intent-Based vs Prescriptive" section from the loaded creation guide</action>
<action>Discuss instruction style collaboratively with the user:
Explain that there are two primary approaches:
**Intent-Based (RECOMMENDED as default)**:
- Gives AI goals and principles, lets it adapt conversation naturally
- More flexible, conversational, responsive to user context
- Better for: discovery, complex decisions, teaching, varied user skill levels
- Uses <action> tags with guiding instructions
- Example from architecture workflow: Facilitates decisions adapting to user_skill_level
**Prescriptive**:
- Provides exact questions and specific options
- More controlled, predictable, consistent across runs
- Better for: simple data collection, finite options, compliance, quick setup
- Uses <ask> tags with specific question text
- Example: Platform selection with 5 defined choices
Explain that **most workflows should default to intent-based** but use prescriptive for simple data points.
The architecture workflow is an excellent example of intent-based with prescriptive moments.
</action>
<ask>For this workflow's PRIMARY style:
1. **Intent-based (Recommended)** - Adaptive, conversational, responds to user context
2. **Prescriptive** - Structured, consistent, controlled interactions
3. **Mixed/Balanced** - I'll help you decide step-by-step
What feels right for your workflow's purpose?
</ask>
<action>Store {{instruction_style}} preference</action>
<action>Now discuss interactivity level:
Beyond style, consider **how interactive** this workflow should be:
**High Interactivity (Collaborative)**:
- Constant back-and-forth with user
- User guides direction, AI facilitates
- Iterative refinement and review
- Best for: creative work, complex decisions, learning experiences
- Example: Architecture workflow's collaborative decision-making
**Medium Interactivity (Guided)**:
- Key decision points have interaction
- AI proposes, user confirms or refines
- Validation checkpoints
- Best for: most document workflows, structured processes
- Example: PRD workflow with sections to review
**Low Interactivity (Autonomous)**:
- Minimal user input required
- AI works independently with guidelines
- User reviews final output
- Best for: automated generation, batch processing
- Example: Generating user stories from epics
</action>
<ask>What interactivity level suits this workflow?
1. **High** - Highly collaborative, user actively involved throughout (Recommended)
2. **Medium** - Guided with key decision points
3. **Low** - Mostly autonomous with final review
Select the level that matches your workflow's purpose:
</ask>
<action>Store {{interactivity_level}} preference</action>
<action>Explain how these choices will inform the workflow design:
- Intent-based + High interactivity: Conversational discovery with open questions
- Intent-based + Medium: Facilitated guidance with confirmation points
- Intent-based + Low: Principle-based autonomous generation
- Prescriptive + any level: Structured questions, but frequency varies
- Mixed: Strategic use of both styles where each works best
</action>
<action>Now work with user to outline workflow steps:
- How many major steps? (Recommend 3-7 for most workflows)
- What is the goal of each step?
- Which steps are optional?
- Which steps need heavy user collaboration vs autonomous execution?
- Which steps should repeat?
- What variables/outputs does each step produce?
Consider their instruction_style and interactivity_level choices when designing step flow:
- High interactivity: More granular steps with collaboration
- Low interactivity: Larger autonomous steps with review
- Intent-based: Focus on goals and principles in step descriptions
- Prescriptive: Define specific questions and options
</action>
<action>Create a step outline that matches the chosen style and interactivity level</action>
<action>Note which steps should be intent-based vs prescriptive (if mixed approach)</action>
<template-output>step_outline</template-output>
</step>
<step n="4" goal="Create workflow.yaml">
Load and use the template at: {template_workflow_yaml}
Replace all placeholders following the workflow creation guide conventions:
- {TITLE} → Proper case workflow name
- {WORKFLOW_CODE} → kebab-case name
- {WORKFLOW_DESCRIPTION} → Clear description
- {module-code} → Target module
- {file.md} → Output filename pattern
Include:
- All metadata from steps 1-2
- **Standalone property**: Use {{standalone_setting}} from step 2 (true or false)
- Proper paths for installed_path using variable substitution
- Template/instructions/validation paths based on workflow type:
- Document workflow: all files (template, instructions, validation)
- Action workflow: instructions only (template: false)
- Autonomous: set autonomous: true flag
- Required tools if any
- Recommended inputs if any
<critical>ALWAYS include the standard config block:</critical>
```yaml
# Critical variables from config
config_source: '{project-root}/.bmad/{{target_module}}/config.yaml'
output_folder: '{config_source}:output_folder'
user_name: '{config_source}:user_name'
communication_language: '{config_source}:communication_language'
date: system-generated
```
<critical>This standard config ensures workflows can run autonomously and communicate properly with users</critical>
<critical>ALWAYS include the standalone property:</critical>
```yaml
standalone: { { standalone_setting } } # true or false from step 2
```
**Example complete workflow.yaml structure**:
```yaml
name: 'workflow-name'
description: 'Clear purpose statement'
# Paths
installed_path: '{project-root}/.bmad/module/workflows/name'
template: '{installed_path}/template.md'
instructions: '{installed_path}/instructions.md'
validation: '{installed_path}/checklist.md'
# Critical variables from config
config_source: '{project-root}/.bmad/module/config.yaml'
output_folder: '{config_source}:output_folder'

communication_language: '{config_source}:communication_language'
date: system-generated
# Output
default_output_file: '{output_folder}/document.md'
# Invocation control
standalone: true # or false based on step 2 decision
```
Follow path conventions from guide:
- Use {project-root} for absolute paths
- Use {installed_path} for workflow components
- Use {config_source} for config references
<critical>Determine save location:</critical>
- Use the output folder determined in Step 1 (module or standalone)
- Write to {{output_folder}}/workflow.yaml

Load and use the template at: {template_instructions}
Generate the instructions.md file following the workflow creation guide:
1. ALWAYS include critical headers:
- Workflow engine reference: {project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
- workflow.yaml reference: must be loaded and processed
2. Structure with <workflow> tags containing all steps
3. For each step from design phase, follow guide conventions:
- Step attributes: n="X" goal="clear goal statement"
- Optional steps: optional="true"
- Repeating: repeat="3" or repeat="for-each-X" or repeat="until-approved"
- Conditional: if="condition"
- Sub-steps: Use 3a, 3b notation
4. Use proper XML tags from guide:
- Execution: <action>, <check>, <ask>, <goto>, <invoke-workflow>
- Output: <template-output>, <invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml</invoke-task>, <critical>, <example>
- Flow: <loop>, <break>, <continue>
5. Best practices from guide:
- Keep steps focused (single goal)
- Be specific ("Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about")
- Provide examples where helpful
- Set limits ("3-5 items maximum")
- Save checkpoints with <template-output>
<critical>Standard config variable usage:</critical>
Instructions MUST use the standard config variables where appropriate:
- Communicate in {communication_language} throughout the workflow
- Address user as {user_name} in greetings and summaries
- Write all output files to {output_folder} or subdirectories
- Include {date} in generated document headers
Example usage in instructions:
```xml
<action>Write document to {output_folder}/output-file.md</action>
<critical>Communicate all responses in {communication_language}</critical>
<output>Hello {user_name}, the workflow is complete!</output>
```
<critical>Applying instruction style preference:</critical>
Based on the {{instruction_style}} preference from Step 3, generate instructions using these patterns:
**Intent-Based Instructions (Recommended for most workflows):**
Focus on goals, principles, and desired outcomes. Let the LLM adapt the conversation naturally.
✅ **Good Examples:**
```xml
<!-- Discovery and exploration -->
<action>Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics, psychographics, and behavioral characteristics</action>
<action>Explore the user's vision for the product, asking probing questions to uncover core motivations and success criteria</action>
<action>Help user identify and prioritize key features based on user value and technical feasibility</action>
<!-- Validation and refinement -->
<action>Validate that the technical approach aligns with project constraints and team capabilities</action>
<action>Challenge assumptions about user needs and market fit with thought-provoking questions</action>
<!-- Complex iterative work -->
<action>Collaborate with user to refine the architecture, iterating until they're satisfied with the design</action>
```
❌ **Avoid (too prescriptive):**
```xml
<ask>What is your target audience age range? Choose: 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45+</ask>
<ask>List exactly 3 key features in priority order</ask>
```
**When to use Intent-Based:**
- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements gathering)
- Creative brainstorming and ideation
- Iterative refinement workflows
- When user input quality matters more than consistency
- Workflows requiring adaptation to context
**Prescriptive Instructions (Use selectively):**
Provide exact wording, specific options, and controlled interactions.
✅ **Good Examples:**
```xml
<!-- Simple data collection -->
<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>
<ask>Select monetization model: Premium, Free-to-Play, Subscription, Ad-Supported</ask>
<!-- Compliance and standards -->
<ask>Does this comply with GDPR requirements? [yes/no]</ask>
<ask>Choose documentation standard: JSDoc, TypeDoc, TSDoc</ask>
<!-- Binary decisions -->
<ask>Do you want to generate test cases? [yes/no]</ask>
<ask>Include performance benchmarks? [yes/no]</ask>
```
❌ **Avoid (too rigid for complex tasks):**
```xml
<ask>What are your product goals? List exactly 5 goals, each 10-15 words</ask>
<ask>Describe your user persona in exactly 3 sentences</ask>
```
**When to use Prescriptive:**
- Simple data collection (platform, format, yes/no choices)
- Compliance verification and standards adherence
- Configuration with finite options
- When consistency is critical across all executions
- Quick setup wizards
**Mixing Both Styles (Best Practice):**
Even if user chose a primary style, use the other when appropriate:
```xml
<!-- Intent-based workflow with prescriptive moments -->
<step n="1" goal="Understand user vision">
<action>Explore the user's vision for their game, uncovering their creative intent and target experience</action>
<action>Ask probing questions about genre, themes, and emotional tone they want to convey</action>
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Capture basic metadata">
<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask> <!-- Prescriptive for simple choice -->
<ask>Select primary genre: Action, RPG, Strategy, Puzzle, Simulation, Other</ask>
</step>
<step n="3" goal="Deep dive into gameplay">
<action>Guide user to articulate their core gameplay loop, exploring mechanics and player agency</action> <!-- Back to intent-based -->
<action>Help them identify what makes their game unique and compelling</action>
</step>
```
**Guidelines for the chosen style:**
If user chose **Intent-Based**:
- Default to goal-oriented <action> tags
- Use open-ended guidance language
- Save prescriptive <ask> tags for simple data/choices
- Focus on "guide", "explore", "help user", "validate"
- Allow LLM to adapt questions to user responses
If user chose **Prescriptive**:
- Default to explicit <ask> tags with clear options
- Use precise wording for consistency
- Save intent-based <action> tags for complex discovery
- Focus on "choose", "select", "specify", "confirm"
- Provide structured choices when possible
**Remember:** The goal is optimal human-AI collaboration. Use whichever style best serves the user at each step.
<critical>Save location:</critical>
- Write to {{output_folder}}/instructions.md
</step>
<step n="6" goal="Create template.md" if="workflow_type == 'document'">
Load and use the template at: {template_template}
Generate the template.md file following guide conventions:
1. Document structure with clear sections
2. Variable syntax: {{variable_name}} using snake_case
3. Variable names MUST match <template-output> tags exactly from instructions
4. Include standard metadata header (optional - config variables available):
```markdown
# Document Title
**Date:** {{date}}
**Author:** {{user_name}}
```
Note: {{date}} and {{user_name}} are optional in headers. Primary purpose of these variables:
- {{date}} - Gives agent current date awareness (not confused with training cutoff)
- {{user_name}} - Optional author attribution
- {{communication_language}} - NOT for document output! Tells agent how to communicate during execution
5. Follow naming conventions from guide:
- Use descriptive names: {{primary_user_journey}} not {{puj}}
- Snake_case for all variables
- Match instruction outputs precisely
Variable sources as per guide:
- workflow.yaml config values (user_name, communication_language, date, output_folder)
- User input runtime values
- Step outputs via <template-output>
- System variables (date, paths)
<critical>Standard config variables in templates:</critical>
Templates CAN optionally use these config variables:
- {{user_name}} - Document author (optional)
- {{date}} - Generation date (optional)
IMPORTANT: {{communication_language}} is NOT for document headers!
- Purpose: Tells agent how to communicate with user during workflow execution
- NOT for: Document output language or template headers
- Future: {{document_output_language}} will handle multilingual document generation
These variables are automatically available from workflow.yaml config block.
<critical>Save location:</critical>
- Write to {{output_folder}}/template.md
</step>
<step n="7" goal="Create validation checklist" optional="true">
Ask if user wants a validation checklist. If yes:
Load and use the template at: {template_checklist}
Create checklist.md following guide best practices:
1. Make criteria MEASURABLE and SPECIFIC
❌ "- [ ] Good documentation"
✅ "- [ ] Each function has JSDoc comments with parameters and return types"
2. Group checks logically:
- Structure: All sections present, no placeholders, proper formatting
- Content Quality: Clear and specific, technically accurate, consistent terminology
- Completeness: Ready for next phase, dependencies documented, action items defined
3. Include workflow-specific validations based on type:
- Document workflows: Template variables mapped, sections complete
- Action workflows: Actions clearly defined, error handling specified
- Interactive: User prompts clear, decision points documented
4. Add final validation section with issue lists
<critical>Save location:</critical>
- Write to {{output_folder}}/checklist.md
</step>
<step n="8" goal="Create supporting files" optional="true">
Ask if any supporting data files are needed:
- CSV files with data
- Example documents
- Reference materials
If yes, create placeholder files or copy from templates.
</step>
<step n="9" goal="Test and validate workflow">
Review the created workflow:
**Basic Validation:**
1. Verify all file paths are correct
2. Check variable names match between files
3. Ensure step numbering is sequential
4. Validate YAML syntax
5. Confirm all placeholders are replaced
**Standard Config Validation:**
6. Verify workflow.yaml contains standard config block:
- config_source defined
- output_folder, user_name, communication_language pulled from config
- date set to system-generated
7. Check instructions use config variables where appropriate
8. Verify template includes config variables in metadata (if document workflow)
**YAML/Instruction/Template Alignment:**
9. Cross-check all workflow.yaml variables against instruction usage:
- Are all yaml variables referenced in instructions.md OR template.md?
- Are there hardcoded values that should be variables?
- Do template variables match <template-output> tags in instructions?
10. Identify any unused yaml fields (bloat detection)
Show user a summary of created files and their locations.
Ask if they want to:
- Test run the workflow
- Make any adjustments
- Add additional steps or features
</step>
<step n="9b" goal="Configure web bundle (optional)">
<ask>Will this workflow need to be deployable as a web bundle? [yes/no]</ask>
If yes:
<action>Explain web bundle requirements:</action>
- Web bundles are self-contained and cannot use config_source variables
- All files must be explicitly listed in web_bundle_files
- File paths use .bmad/ root (not {project-root})
<action>Configure web_bundle section in workflow.yaml:</action>
1. Copy core workflow metadata (name, description, author)
2. Convert all file paths to .bmad/-relative paths:
- Remove {project-root}/ prefix
- Remove {config_source} references (use hardcoded values)
- Example: "{project-root}/.bmad/bmm/workflows/x" → ".bmad/bmm/workflows/x"
3. List ALL referenced files by scanning:
**Scan instructions.md for:**
- File paths in <action> tags
- Data files (CSV, JSON, YAML, etc.)
- Validation/checklist files
- Any <invoke-workflow> calls → must include that workflow's yaml file
- Any <goto> tags that reference other workflows
- Shared templates or includes
**Scan template.md for:**
- Any includes or references to other files
- Shared template fragments
**Critical: Workflow Dependencies**
- If instructions call another workflow, that workflow's yaml MUST be in web_bundle_files
- Example: `<invoke-workflow>{project-root}/.bmad/core/workflows/x/workflow.yaml</invoke-workflow>`
→ Add ".bmad/core/workflows/x/workflow.yaml" to web_bundle_files
4. Create web_bundle_files array with complete list
Example:
```yaml
web_bundle:
name: '{workflow_name}'
description: '{workflow_description}'
author: '{author}'
instructions: '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/instructions.md'
validation: '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/checklist.md'
template: '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/template.md'
# Any data files (no config_source)
data_file: '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/data.csv'
web_bundle_files:
- '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/instructions.md'
- '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/checklist.md'
- '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/template.md'
- '.bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/data.csv'
# Add every single file referenced anywhere
# CRITICAL: If this workflow invokes other workflows, use existing_workflows
# This signals the bundler to recursively include those workflows' web_bundles
existing_workflows:
- workflow_variable_name: '.bmad/path/to/workflow.yaml'
```
**Example with existing_workflows:**
```yaml
web_bundle:
name: 'brainstorm-game'
description: 'Game brainstorming with CIS workflow'
author: 'BMad'
instructions: '.bmad/bmm/workflows/brainstorm-game/instructions.md'
template: false
web_bundle_files:
- '.bmad/bmm/workflows/brainstorm-game/instructions.md'
- '.bmad/mmm/workflows/brainstorm-game/game-context.md'
- '.bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml'
existing_workflows:
- core_brainstorming: '.bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml'
```
**What existing_workflows does:**
- Tells the bundler this workflow invokes another workflow
- Bundler recursively includes the invoked workflow's entire web_bundle
- Essential for meta-workflows that orchestrate other workflows
- Maps workflow variable names to their .bmad/-relative paths
<action>Validate web bundle completeness:</action>
- Ensure no {config_source} variables remain
- Verify all file paths are listed
- Check that paths are .bmad/-relative
- If workflow uses <invoke-workflow>, add to existing_workflows
<template-output>web_bundle_config</template-output>
</step>
<step n="10" goal="Document and finalize">
<action>Create a brief README for the workflow folder explaining purpose, how to invoke, expected inputs, generated outputs, and any special requirements</action>
<action>Provide {user_name} with workflow completion summary in {communication_language}:</action>
- Location of created workflow: {{output_folder}}
- Command to run it: `workflow {workflow_name}`
- Next steps:
- Run the BMAD Method installer to this project location
- Select 'Compile Agents (Quick rebuild of all agent .md files)' after confirming the folder
- This will compile the new workflow and make it available for use
</step>
</workflow>

# Edit Agent Workflow
Interactive workflow for editing existing BMAD Core agents while maintaining best practices and conventions.
## Purpose
This workflow helps you refine and improve existing agents by:
- Analyzing agents against BMAD Core best practices
- Identifying issues and improvement opportunities
- Providing guided editing for specific aspects
- Validating changes against agent standards
- Ensuring consistency with agent architecture
## When to Use
Use this workflow when you need to:
- Fix issues in existing agents
- Add new menu items or workflows
- Improve agent persona or communication style
- Update configuration handling
- Convert between agent types (full/hybrid/standalone)
- Optimize agent structure and clarity
## What You'll Need
- Path to the agent file you want to edit (.yaml or .md)
- Understanding of what changes you want to make
- Access to the agent documentation (loaded automatically)
## Workflow Steps
1. **Load and analyze target agent** - Provide path to agent file
2. **Analyze against best practices** - Automatic audit of agent structure
3. **Select editing focus** - Choose what aspect to edit
4. **Load relevant documentation** - Auto-loads guides based on your choice
5. **Perform edits** - Review and approve changes iteratively
6. **Validate all changes** - Comprehensive validation checklist
7. **Generate change summary** - Summary of improvements made
## Editing Options
The workflow provides 12 focused editing options:
1. **Fix critical issues** - Address broken references, syntax errors
2. **Add/fix standard config** - Ensure config loading and variable usage
3. **Refine persona** - Improve role, communication style, principles
4. **Update activation** - Modify activation steps and greeting
5. **Manage menu items** - Add, remove, or reorganize commands
6. **Update workflow references** - Fix paths, add new workflows
7. **Enhance menu handlers** - Improve handler logic
8. **Improve command triggers** - Refine asterisk commands
9. **Optimize agent type** - Convert between full/hybrid/standalone
10. **Add new capabilities** - Add menu items, workflows, features
11. **Remove bloat** - Delete unused commands, redundant instructions
12. **Full review and update** - Comprehensive improvements
## Agent Documentation Loaded
This workflow automatically loads:
- **Agent Types Guide** - Understanding full, hybrid, and standalone agents
- **Agent Architecture** - Structure, activation, and menu patterns
- **Command Patterns** - Menu handlers and command triggers
- **Communication Styles** - Persona and communication guidance
- **Workflow Execution Engine** - How agents execute workflows
## Output
The workflow modifies your agent file in place, maintaining the original format (YAML or markdown). Changes are reviewed and approved by you before being applied.
## Best Practices
- **Start with analysis** - Let the workflow audit your agent first
- **Focus your edits** - Choose specific aspects to improve
- **Review each change** - Approve or modify proposed changes
- **Validate thoroughly** - Use the validation step to catch issues
- **Test after editing** - Invoke the edited agent to verify it works
## Tips
- If you're unsure what needs improvement, choose option 12 (Full review)
- For quick fixes, choose the specific option (like option 6 for workflow paths)
- The workflow loads documentation automatically - you don't need to read it first
- You can make multiple rounds of edits in one session
- Use the validation step to ensure you didn't miss anything
## Related Workflows
- **create-agent** - Create new agents from scratch
- **edit-workflow** - Edit workflows referenced by agents
- **audit-workflow** - Audit workflows for compliance
## Example Usage
```
User: I want to add a new workflow to the PM agent
Workflow: Analyzes agent → Loads it → You choose option 5 (manage menu items)
→ Adds new menu item with workflow reference → Validates → Done
```
## Activation
Invoke via BMad Builder agent:
```
/bmad:bmb:agents:bmad-builder
Then select: *edit-agent
```
Or directly via workflow.xml with this workflow config.

# Edit Workflow
## Purpose
An intelligent workflow editor that helps you modify existing BMAD workflows while adhering to all best practices and conventions documented in the workflow creation guide.
## Use Case
When you need to:
- Fix issues in existing workflows
- Update workflow configuration or metadata
- Improve instruction clarity and specificity
- Add new features or capabilities
- Ensure compliance with BMAD workflow conventions
## How to Invoke
```
workflow edit-workflow
```
Or through a BMAD agent:
```
*edit-workflow
```
## Expected Inputs
- **Target workflow path**: Path to the workflow.yaml file or workflow folder you want to edit
- **Edit type selection**: Choice of what aspect to modify
- **User approval**: For each proposed change
## Generated Outputs
- Modified workflow files (in place)
- Optional change log at: `{output_folder}/workflow-edit-log-{date}.md`
## Features
1. **Comprehensive Analysis**: Checks workflows against the official creation guide
2. **Prioritized Issues**: Identifies and ranks issues by importance
3. **Guided Editing**: Step-by-step process with explanations
4. **Best Practices**: Ensures all edits follow BMAD conventions
5. **Instruction Style Optimization**: Convert between intent-based and prescriptive styles
6. **Validation**: Checks all changes for correctness
7. **Change Tracking**: Documents what was modified and why
## Understanding Instruction Styles
When editing workflows, one powerful option is **adjusting the instruction style** to better match the workflow's purpose.
### Intent-Based vs Prescriptive Instructions
**Intent-Based (Recommended for most workflows)**
Guides the AI with goals and principles, allowing flexible conversation.
- **More flexible and conversational** - AI adapts to user responses
- **Better for complex discovery** - Requirements gathering, creative exploration
- **Quality over consistency** - Deep understanding matters more
- **Example**: `<action>Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics and needs</action>`
**When to use:**
- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements)
- Creative brainstorming and ideation
- Iterative refinement workflows
- Workflows requiring nuanced understanding
**Prescriptive**
Provides exact questions with structured options.
- **More controlled and predictable** - Consistent questions every time
- **Better for simple data collection** - Platform, format, yes/no choices
- **Consistency over quality** - Same execution every run
- **Example**: `<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>`
**When to use:**
- Simple data collection (platform, format, binary choices)
- Compliance verification and standards adherence
- Configuration with finite options
- Quick setup wizards
### Edit Workflow's Style Adjustment Feature
The **"Adjust instruction style"** editing option (menu option 11) helps you:
1. **Analyze current style** - Identifies whether workflow is primarily intent-based or prescriptive
2. **Convert between styles** - Transform prescriptive steps to intent-based (or vice versa)
3. **Optimize the mix** - Intelligently recommend the best style for each step
4. **Step-by-step control** - Review and decide on each step individually
**Common scenarios:**
- **Make workflow more conversational**: Convert rigid <ask> tags to flexible <action> tags for complex steps
- **Make workflow more consistent**: Convert open-ended <action> tags to structured <ask> tags for simple data collection
- **Balance both approaches**: Use intent-based for discovery, prescriptive for simple choices
This feature is especially valuable when converting legacy workflows or adapting workflows for different use cases.
## Workflow Steps
1. Load and analyze target workflow
2. Check against best practices
3. Select editing focus
4. Load relevant documentation
5. Perform edits with user approval
6. Validate all changes (optional)
7. Generate change summary
## Requirements
- Access to workflow creation guide
- Read/write permissions for target workflow
- Understanding of BMAD workflow types

# ReDoc - Reverse-Tree Documentation Engine
**Type:** Autonomous Action Workflow
**Module:** BMad Builder (bmb)
## Purpose
ReDoc is an intelligent documentation maintenance system for BMAD modules, workflows, and agents. It uses a reverse-tree approach (leaf folders first, then parent folders) to systematically generate and update README.md files with technical writer quality output.
The workflow understands BMAD conventions deeply and focuses documentation on distinctive features rather than explaining standard patterns, resulting in succinct, precise technical documentation.
## Key Features
- **Reverse-Tree Processing**: Documents from deepest folders up to module root, allowing child documentation to inform parent summaries
- **Convention-Aware**: Loads BMAD architecture patterns and only documents unique/distinctive aspects
- **Scalability**: Automatically creates catalog documents (WORKFLOWS-CATALOG.md, AGENTS-CATALOG.md) for massive folders (>10 items)
- **Diff-Aware**: Tracks `last-redoc-date` frontmatter to enable change detection since last run
- **Autonomous**: Runs without user checkpoints unless clarification is genuinely required
- **Comprehensive**: Reads ALL files completely before generating documentation (no partial reads)
## Usage
Invoke with a target path:
```
workflow redoc
```
When prompted, provide one of:
- **Module path**: `.bmad/bmm` (documents entire module: root, workflows, agents)
- **Workflows folder**: `.bmad/bmm/workflows` (documents all workflows)
- **Agents folder**: `.bmad/bmm/agents` (documents all agents)
- **Single workflow**: `.bmad/bmm/workflows/product-brief` (documents one workflow)
- **Single agent**: `.bmad/bmm/agents/prd-agent.md` (documents one agent)
## Inputs
### Required
- **target_path**: Path to module, folder, or specific component to document
### Knowledge Base (Auto-loaded)
- agent-architecture.md
- agent-command-patterns.md
- agent-types.md
- module-structure.md
- workflow-creation-guide.md
## Outputs
### Created/Updated Files
- **README.md**: At each documented level (workflow folders, agent folders, module root)
- **Catalog files**: WORKFLOWS-CATALOG.md, AGENTS-CATALOG.md (for massive folders)
- **Frontmatter**: All READMEs include `last-redoc-date: <timestamp>`
### Summary Report
- Documentation coverage statistics
- List of files created/updated
- Any items requiring manual review
## Workflow Steps
1. **Initialize**: Load BMAD conventions and validate target
2. **Analyze Structure**: Build reverse-tree execution plan
3. **Process Leaves**: Document individual workflows/agents (deepest first)
4. **Process Folders**: Document workflow/agent collections with categorization
5. **Process Root**: Document module overview with links and highlights
6. **Validate**: Verify completeness and generate report
7. **Diff Analysis** (optional): Show changes since last redoc
8. **Complete**: Report success and suggest next steps
## Technical Details
- **Execution**: Autonomous with minimal user interaction
- **Quality**: Technical writer standards - succinct, precise, professional
- **Context-Aware**: Uses BMAD convention knowledge to highlight only distinctive features
- **Scalable**: Handles folders of any size with intelligent catalog creation
## Next Steps After Running
1. Review generated documentation for accuracy
2. If documenting a subfolder, run redoc on parent module to update references

# ReDoc Workflow Instructions
<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/.bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>
<critical>You MUST have already loaded and processed: {project-root}/src/modules/bmb/workflows/redoc/workflow.yaml</critical>
<critical>Communicate in {communication_language} throughout the documentation process</critical>
<critical>This is an AUTONOMOUS workflow - minimize user interaction unless clarification is absolutely required</critical>
<critical>IMPORTANT: Process ONE document at a time to avoid token limits. Each README should be created individually, not batched.</critical>
<critical>When using Task tool with sub-agents: Only request ONE workflow or agent documentation per invocation to prevent token overflow.</critical>
<workflow>
<step n="1" goal="Load BMAD conventions and initialize">
<action>Load ALL BMAD convention documents from {bmad_conventions}:
- agent_architecture.md - Understand agent XML structure and patterns
- agent_command_patterns.md - Command syntax and activation patterns
- agent_types.md - Standard agent categories and purposes
- module_structure.md - Module organization and folder conventions
- workflow_guide.md - Workflow structure and best practices
</action>
<action>Internalize these conventions so you can:
- Recognize standard patterns vs unique implementations
- Describe only what's distinctive about each component
- Use proper terminology consistently
- Write with technical precision
</action>
<action>Get target path from user:
- Ask: "What do you want to document? (module path, workflow path, agent path, or folder path)"
- Store as {{target_path}}
</action>
<action>Validate target path exists and determine target type:
- Module root (contains config.yaml, /workflows, /agents folders)
- Workflows folder (contains multiple workflow folders)
- Agents folder (contains multiple agent .md files)
- Single workflow folder (contains workflow.yaml)
- Single agent file (.md)
</action>
<action>Store target type as {{target_type}} for conditional processing</action>
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Analyze directory structure and existing documentation">
<action>Build complete tree structure of {{target_path}} using Glob and file system tools</action>
<action>Identify all documentation points:
- List all folders requiring README.md files
- Detect existing README.md files
- Parse frontmatter from existing READMEs to extract last-redoc-date
- Calculate documentation depth (how many levels deep)
</action>
<action>Create documentation map with execution order (deepest → shallowest):
- Level 0 (deepest): Individual workflow folders, individual agent files
- Level 1: /workflows folder, /agents folder
- Level 2 (root): Module root README.md
</action>
<action>Detect "massive folders" requiring child catalog documents:
- Threshold: >10 items or complex categorization needed
- Mark folders for catalog document creation (e.g., WORKFLOWS-CATALOG.md, AGENTS-CATALOG.md)
</action>
<critical>Store execution order as {{doc_execution_plan}} - this ensures reverse-tree processing</critical>
</step>
<step n="3" goal="Process leaf-level documentation" repeat="for-each-leaf-item">
<critical>TOKEN LIMIT WARNING: Process ONE item at a time to prevent token overflow issues.</critical>
<critical>If using Task tool with sub-agents: NEVER batch multiple workflows/agents in a single invocation.</critical>
<critical>Each README creation should be a separate operation with its own file save.</critical>
<critical>Sequential processing is MANDATORY - do not attempt parallel documentation generation.</critical>

# BMad Method Brownfield Development Guide
**Complete guide for working with existing codebases**
**Reading Time:** ~35 minutes
---
## Quick Navigation
**Jump to:**
- [Quick Reference](#quick-reference) - Commands and files
- [Common Scenarios](#common-scenarios) - Real-world examples
- [Best Practices](#best-practices) - Success tips
---
## What is Brownfield Development?
Brownfield projects involve working within existing codebases rather than starting fresh:
- **Bug fixes** - Single file changes
- **Small features** - Adding to existing modules
- **Feature sets** - Multiple related features
- **Major integrations** - Complex architectural additions
- **System expansions** - Enterprise-scale enhancements
**Key Difference from Greenfield:** You must understand and respect existing patterns, architecture, and constraints.
**Core Principle:** AI agents need comprehensive documentation to understand existing code before they can effectively plan or implement changes.
---
## Getting Started
### Understanding Planning Tracks
For complete track details, see [Scale Adaptive System](./scale-adaptive-system.md).
**Brownfield tracks at a glance:**
| Track | Scope | Typical Stories | Key Difference |
| --------------------- | -------------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Quick Flow** | Bug fixes, small features | 1-15 | Must understand affected code and patterns |
| **BMad Method** | Feature sets, integrations | 10-50+ | Integrate with existing architecture |
| **Enterprise Method** | Enterprise expansions | 30+ | Full system documentation + compliance required |
**Note:** Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Tracks are chosen based on planning needs.
### Track Selection for Brownfield
When you run `workflow-init`, it handles brownfield intelligently:
**Step 1: Shows what it found**
- Old planning docs (PRD, epics, stories)
- Existing codebase
**Step 2: Asks about YOUR work**
> "Are these works in progress, previous effort, or proposed work?"
- **(a) Works in progress** → Uses artifacts to determine level
- **(b) Previous effort** → Asks you to describe NEW work
- **(c) Proposed work** → Uses artifacts as guidance
- **(d) None of these** → You explain your work
**Step 3: Analyzes your description**
- Keywords: "fix", "bug" → Quick Flow, "dashboard", "platform" → BMad Method, "enterprise", "multi-tenant" → Enterprise Method
- Complexity assessment
- Confirms suggested track with you
**Key Principle:** System asks about YOUR current work first, uses old artifacts as context only.
**Example: Old Complex PRD, New Simple Work**
```
System: "Found PRD.md (BMad Method track, 30 stories, 6 months old)"
System: "Is this work in progress or previous effort?"
You: "Previous effort - I'm just fixing a bug now"
System: "Tell me about your current work"
You: "Update payment method enums"
System: "Quick Flow track (tech-spec approach). Correct?"
You: "Yes"
✅ Creates Quick Flow workflow
```

## Phase 0: Documentation (Critical First Step)
🚨 **For brownfield projects: Always ensure adequate AI-usable documentation before planning**
### Default Recommendation: Run document-project
**Best practice:** Run `document-project` workflow unless you have **confirmed, trusted, AI-optimized documentation**.
### Why Document-Project is Almost Always the Right Choice
Existing documentation often has quality issues that break AI workflows:
**Common Problems:**
- **Too Much Information (TMI):** Massive markdown files with 10s or 100s of level 2 sections
- **Out of Date:** Documentation hasn't been updated with recent code changes
- **Wrong Format:** Written for humans, not AI agents (lacks structure, index, clear patterns)
- **Incomplete Coverage:** Missing critical architecture, patterns, or setup info
- **Inconsistent Quality:** Some areas documented well, others not at all
**Impact on AI Agents:**
- AI agents hit token limits reading massive files
- Outdated docs cause hallucinations (agent thinks old patterns still apply)
- Missing structure means agents can't find relevant information
- Incomplete coverage leads to incorrect assumptions
### Documentation Decision Tree
**Step 1: Assess Existing Documentation Quality**
Ask yourself:
- ✅ Is it **current** (updated in last 30 days)?
- ✅ Is it **AI-optimized** (structured with index.md, clear sections, <500 lines per file)?
- ✅ Is it **comprehensive** (architecture, patterns, setup all documented)?
- ✅ Do you **trust** it completely for AI agent consumption?
**If ANY answer is NO → Run `document-project`**
**Step 2: Check for Massive Documents**
If you have documentation but files are huge (>500 lines, 10+ level 2 sections):
1. **First:** Run `shard-doc` tool to split large files:
```bash
# Load BMad Master or any agent
.bmad/core/tools/shard-doc.xml --input docs/massive-doc.md
```
- Splits on level 2 sections by default
- Creates organized, manageable files
- Preserves content integrity
2. **Then:** Run `index-docs` task to create navigation:
```bash
.bmad/core/tasks/index-docs.xml --directory ./docs
```
3. **Finally:** Validate quality - if sharded docs still seem incomplete/outdated → Run `document-project`
### Four Real-World Scenarios
| Scenario | You Have | Action | Why |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------ | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **A** | No documentation | `document-project` | Only option - generate from scratch |
| **B** | Docs exist but massive/outdated/incomplete | `document-project` | Safer to regenerate than trust bad docs |
| **C** | Good docs but no structure | `shard-doc``index-docs` | Structure existing content for AI |
| **D** | Confirmed AI-optimized docs with index.md | Skip Phase 0 | Rare - only if you're 100% confident |
### Scenario A: No Documentation (Most Common)
**Action: Run document-project workflow**
1. Load Analyst or Technical Writer (Paige) agent
2. Run `*document-project`
3. Choose scan level:
- **Quick** (2-5min): Pattern analysis, no source reading
- **Deep** (10-30min): Reads critical paths - **Recommended**
- **Exhaustive** (30-120min): Reads all files
**Outputs:**
- `docs/index.md` - Master AI entry point
- `docs/project-overview.md` - Executive summary
- `docs/architecture.md` - Architecture analysis
- `docs/source-tree-analysis.md` - Directory structure
- Additional files based on project type (API, web app, etc.)
### Scenario B: Docs Exist But Quality Unknown/Poor (Very Common)
**Action: Run document-project workflow (regenerate)**
Even if `docs/` folder exists, if you're unsure about quality → **regenerate**.
**Why regenerate instead of index?**
- Outdated docs → AI makes wrong assumptions
- Incomplete docs → AI invents missing information
- TMI docs → AI hits token limits, misses key info
- Human-focused docs → Missing AI-critical structure
**document-project** will:
- Scan actual codebase (source of truth)
- Generate fresh, accurate documentation
- Structure properly for AI consumption
- Include only relevant, current information
### Scenario C: Good Docs But Needs Structure
**Action: Shard massive files, then index**
If you have **good, current documentation** but it's in massive files:
**Step 1: Shard large documents**
```bash
# For each massive doc (>500 lines or 10+ level 2 sections)
.bmad/core/tools/shard-doc.xml \
--input docs/api-documentation.md \
--output docs/api/ \
--level 2 # Split on ## headers (default)
```
**Step 2: Generate index**
```bash
.bmad/core/tasks/index-docs.xml --directory ./docs
```
**Step 3: Validate**
- Review generated `docs/index.md`
- Check that sharded files are <500 lines each
- Verify content is current and accurate
- **If anything seems off → Run document-project instead**
### Scenario D: Confirmed AI-Optimized Documentation (Rare)
**Action: Skip Phase 0**
Only skip if ALL conditions met:
- ✅ `docs/index.md` exists and is comprehensive
- ✅ Documentation updated within last 30 days
- ✅ All doc files <500 lines with clear structure
- ✅ Covers architecture, patterns, setup, API surface
- ✅ You personally verified quality for AI consumption
- ✅ Previous AI agents used it successfully
**If unsure → Run document-project** (costs 10-30 minutes, saves hours of confusion)
### Why document-project is Critical
Without AI-optimized documentation, workflows fail:
- **tech-spec** (Quick Flow) can't auto-detect stack/patterns → Makes wrong assumptions
- **PRD** (BMad Method) can't reference existing code → Designs incompatible features
- **architecture** can't build on existing structure → Suggests conflicting patterns
- **story-context** can't inject existing patterns → Dev agent rewrites working code
- **dev-story** invents implementations → Breaks existing integrations
### Key Principle
**When in doubt, run document-project.**
It's better to spend 10-30 minutes generating fresh, accurate docs than to waste hours debugging AI agents working from bad documentation.
---
## Workflow Phases by Track
### Phase 1: Analysis (Optional)
**Workflows:**
- `brainstorm-project` - Solution exploration
- `research` - Technical/market research
- `product-brief` - Strategic planning (BMad Method/Enterprise tracks only)
**When to use:** Complex features, technical decisions, strategic additions
**When to skip:** Bug fixes, well-understood features, time-sensitive changes
See the [Workflows section in BMM README](../README.md) for details.
### Phase 2: Planning (Required)
**Planning approach adapts by track:**
**Quick Flow:** Use `tech-spec` workflow
- Creates tech-spec.md
- Auto-detects existing stack (brownfield)
- Confirms conventions with you
- Generates implementation-ready stories
**BMad Method/Enterprise:** Use `prd` workflow
- Creates PRD.md + epic breakdown
- References existing architecture
- Plans integration points
**Brownfield-specific:** See [Scale Adaptive System](./scale-adaptive-system.md) for complete workflow paths by track.
### Phase 3: Solutioning (BMad Method/Enterprise Only)
**Critical for brownfield:**
- Review existing architecture FIRST
- Document integration points explicitly
- Plan backward compatibility
- Consider migration strategy
**Workflows:**
- `create-architecture` - Extend architecture docs (BMad Method/Enterprise)
- `solutioning-gate-check` - Validate before implementation (BMad Method/Enterprise)
### Phase 4: Implementation (All Tracks)
**Sprint-based development through story iteration:**

style RETRO fill:#fbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px,color:#000
```
**Status Progression:**
- Epic: `backlog → contexted`
- Story: `backlog → drafted → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done`
**Brownfield-Specific Implementation Tips:**
1. **Respect existing patterns** - Follow established conventions
2. **Test integration thoroughly** - Validate interactions with existing code
3. **Use feature flags** - Enable gradual rollout
4. **Context injection matters** - epic-tech-context and story-context reference existing patterns
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Always Document First
Even if you know the code, AI agents need `document-project` output for context. Run it before planning.
### 2. Be Specific About Current Work
When workflow-init asks about your work:
- ✅ "Update payment method enums to include Apple Pay"
- ❌ "Fix stuff"
### 3. Choose Right Documentation Approach
- **Has good docs, no index?** → Run `index-docs` task (fast)
- **No docs or need codebase analysis?** → Run `document-project` (Deep scan)
### 4. Respect Existing Patterns
Tech-spec and story-context will detect conventions. Follow them unless explicitly modernizing.
### 5. Plan Integration Points Explicitly
Document in tech-spec/architecture:
- Which existing modules you'll modify
- What APIs/services you'll integrate with
- How data flows between new and existing code
### 6. Design for Gradual Rollout
- Use feature flags for new functionality
- Plan rollback strategies
- Maintain backward compatibility
- Create migration scripts if needed
### 7. Test Integration Thoroughly
- Regression testing of existing features
- Integration point validation
- Performance impact assessment
- API contract verification
### 8. Use Sprint Planning Effectively
- Run `sprint-planning` at Phase 4 start
- Context epics before drafting stories
- Update `sprint-status.yaml` as work progresses
### 9. Leverage Context Injection
- Run `epic-tech-context` before story drafting
- Always create `story-context` before implementation
- These reference existing patterns for consistency
### 10. Learn Continuously
- Run `retrospective` after each epic
- Incorporate learnings into next stories
- Update discovered patterns
- Share insights across team

## Troubleshooting
### AI Agents Lack Codebase Understanding
**Symptoms:**
- Suggestions don't align with existing patterns
- Ignores available components
- Doesn't reference existing code
**Solution:**
1. Run `document-project` with Deep scan
2. Verify `docs/index.md` exists
3. Check documentation completeness
4. Run deep-dive on specific areas if needed
### Have Documentation But Agents Can't Find It
**Symptoms:**
- README.md, ARCHITECTURE.md exist
- AI agents ask questions already answered
- No `docs/index.md` file
**Solution:**
- **Quick fix:** Run `index-docs` task (2-5min)
- **Comprehensive:** Run `document-project` workflow (10-30min)
### Integration Points Unclear
**Symptoms:**
- Not sure how to connect new code to existing
- Unsure which files to modify
**Solution:**
1. Ensure `document-project` captured existing architecture
2. Check `story-context` - should document integration points
3. In tech-spec/architecture - explicitly document:
- Which existing modules to modify
- What APIs/services to integrate with
- Data flow between new and existing code
4. Review architecture document for integration guidance
### Existing Tests Breaking
**Symptoms:**
- Regression test failures
- Previously working functionality broken
**Solution:**
1. Review changes against existing patterns
2. Verify API contracts unchanged (unless intentionally versioned)
3. Run `test-review` workflow (TEA agent)
4. Add regression testing to DoD
5. Consider feature flags for gradual rollout
### Inconsistent Patterns Being Introduced
**Symptoms:**
- New code style doesn't match existing
- Different architectural approach
**Solution:**
1. Check convention detection (Quick Spec Flow should detect patterns)
2. Review documentation - ensure `document-project` captured patterns
3. Use `story-context` - injects pattern guidance
4. Add to code-review checklist: pattern adherence, convention consistency
5. Run retrospective to identify deviations early

## The Paradigm Shift
### Traditional Agile: Team-Based Story Parallelism
- **Epic duration:** 4-12 weeks across multiple sprints
- **Story duration:** 2-5 days per developer
- **Team size:** 5-9 developers working on same epic
- **Parallelization:** Multiple devs on stories within single epic
- **Coordination:** Constant - daily standups, merge conflicts, integration overhead
**Example:** Payment Processing Epic
- Sprint 1-2: Backend API (Dev A)
- Sprint 1-2: Frontend UI (Dev B)
- Sprint 2-3: Testing (Dev C)
- **Result:** 6-8 weeks, 3 developers, high coordination
### Agentic Development: Individual Epic Ownership
- **Epic duration:** Hours to days (not weeks)
- **Story duration:** 30 min to 4 hours with AI agent
- **Team size:** 1 developer + AI agents completes full epics
- **Parallelization:** Developers work on separate epics
- **Coordination:** Minimal - epic boundaries, async updates
**Same Example:** Payment Processing Epic
- Day 1 AM: Backend API stories (1 dev + agent, 3-4 stories)
- Day 1 PM: Frontend UI stories (same dev + agent, 2-3 stories)
- Day 2: Testing & deployment (same dev + agent, 2 stories)
- **Result:** 1-2 days, 1 developer, minimal coordination
### The Core Difference
**What changed:** AI agents collapse story duration from days to hours, making **epic-level ownership** practical.
**Impact:** Single developer with BMad Method can deliver in 1 day what previously required full team and multiple sprints.

## The Evolving Role of Product Managers and UX Designers
### The Future is Now
Product Managers and UX Designers are undergoing **the most significant transformation since the creation of these disciplines**. The emergence of AI agents is creating a new breed of technical product leaders who translate vision directly into working code.
### From Spec Writers to Code Orchestrators
**Traditional PM/UX (Pre-2025):**
- Write PRDs, hand off to engineering
- Wait weeks/months for implementation
- Limited validation capabilities
- Non-technical role, heavy on process
**Emerging PM/UX (2025+):**
- Write AI-optimized PRDs that **feed agentic pipelines directly**
- Generate working prototypes in 10-15 minutes
- Review pull requests from AI agents
- Technical fluency is **table stakes**, not optional
- Orchestrate cloud-based AI agent teams
### Industry Research (November 2025)
- **56% of product professionals** cite AI/ML as top focus
- **AI agents automating** customer discovery, PRD creation, status reporting
- **PRD-to-Code automation** enables PMs to build and deploy apps in 10-15 minutes
- **By 2026**: Roles converging into "Full-Stack Product Lead" (PM + Design + Engineering)
- **Very high salaries** for AI agent PMs who orchestrate autonomous dev systems
### Required Skills for Modern PMs/UX
1. **AI Prompt Engineering** - Writing PRDs AI agents can execute autonomously
2. **Coding Literacy** - Understanding code structure, APIs, data flows (not production coding)
3. **Agentic Workflow Design** - Orchestrating multi-agent systems (planning → design → dev)
4. **Technical Architecture** - Reasoning frameworks, memory systems, tool integration
5. **Data Literacy** - Interpreting model outputs, spotting trends, identifying gaps
6. **Code Review** - Evaluating AI-generated PRs for correctness and vision alignment
### What Remains Human
**AI Can't Replace:**
- Product vision (market dynamics, customer pain, strategic positioning)
- Empathy (deep user research, emotional intelligence, stakeholder management)
- Creativity (novel problem-solving, disruptive thinking)
- Judgment (prioritization decisions, trade-off analysis)
- Ethics (responsible AI use, privacy, accessibility)
**What Changes:**
- PMs/UX spend **more time on human elements** (AI handles routine execution)
- Barrier between "thinking" and "building" collapses
- Product leaders become **builder-thinkers**, not just spec writers
### The Convergence
- **PMs learning to code** with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, v0
- **UX designers generating code** with UXPin Merge, Figma-to-code tools
- **Developers becoming orchestrators** reviewing AI output vs writing from scratch
**The Bottom Line:** By 2026, successful PMs/UX will fluently operate in both vision and execution. **BMad Method provides the structured framework to make this transition.**
---
## How BMad Method Enables PM/UX Technical Evolution
BMad Method is specifically designed to position PMs and UX designers for this future.
### 1. AI-Executable PRD Generation
**PM Workflow:**
```bash
bmad pm *create-prd
```
**BMad produces:**
- Structured, machine-readable requirements
- Testable acceptance criteria per requirement
- Clear epic/story decomposition
- Technical context for AI agents
**Why it matters:** Traditional PRDs are human-readable prose. BMad PRDs are **AI-executable work packages**.
**PM Value:** Write once, automatically translated into agent-ready stories. No engineering bottleneck for translation.
### 2. Automated Epic/Story Breakdown
**PM Workflow:**
```bash
bmad pm *create-epics-and-stories
```
**BMad produces:**
- Epic files with clear objectives
- Story files with acceptance criteria, context, technical guidance
- Priority assignments (P0-P3)
- Dependency mapping
**Why it matters:** Stories become **work packages for cloud AI agents**. Each story is self-contained with full context.
**PM Value:** No more "story refinement sessions" with engineering. AI agents execute directly from BMad stories.
### 3. Human-in-the-Loop Architecture
**Architect/PM Workflow:**
```bash
bmad architect *create-architecture
```
**BMad produces:**
- System architecture aligned with PRD
- Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
- Epic-specific technical guidance
- Integration patterns and standards
**Why it matters:** PMs can **understand and validate** technical decisions. Architecture is conversational, not template-driven.
**PM Value:** Technical fluency built through guided architecture process. PMs learn while creating.
### 4. Cloud Agentic Pipeline (Emerging Pattern)
**Current State (2025):**
```
PM writes BMad PRD
create-epics-and-stories generates story queue
Stories loaded by human developers + BMad agents
Developers create PRs
PM/Team reviews PRs
Merge and deploy
```
**Near Future (2026):**
```
PM writes BMad PRD
create-epics-and-stories generates story queue
Stories automatically fed to cloud AI agent pool
AI agents implement stories in parallel
AI agents create pull requests
PM/UX/Senior Devs review PRs
Approved PRs auto-merge
Continuous deployment to production
```
**Time Savings:**
- **Traditional:** PM writes spec → 2-4 weeks engineering → review → deploy (6-8 weeks)
- **BMad Agentic:** PM writes PRD → AI agents implement → review PRs → deploy (2-5 days)
### 5. UX Design Integration
**UX Designer Workflow:**
```bash
bmad ux *create-design
```
**BMad produces:**
- Component-based design system
- Interaction patterns aligned with tech stack
- Accessibility guidelines
- Responsive design specifications
**Why it matters:** Design specs become **implementation-ready** for AI agents. No "lost in translation" between design and dev.
**UX Value:** Designs validated through working prototypes, not static mocks. Technical understanding built through BMad workflows.
### 6. PM Technical Skills Development
**BMad teaches PMs technical skills through:**
- **Conversational workflows** - No pre-requisite knowledge, learn by doing
- **Architecture facilitation** - Understand system design through guided questions
- **Story context assembly** - See how code patterns inform implementation
- **Code review workflows** - Learn to evaluate code quality, patterns, standards
**Example:** PM runs `create-architecture` workflow:
- BMad asks about scale, performance, integrations
- PM answers business questions
- BMad explains technical implications
- PM learns architecture concepts while making decisions
**Result:** PMs gain **working technical knowledge** without formal CS education.
### 7. Organizational Leverage
**Traditional Model:**
- 1 PM → supports 5-9 developers → delivers 1-2 features/quarter
**BMad Agentic Model:**
- 1 PM → writes BMad PRD → 20-50 AI agents execute stories in parallel → delivers 5-10 features/quarter
**Leverage multiplier:** 5-10× with same PM headcount.
### 8. Quality Consistency
**BMad ensures:**
- AI agents follow architectural patterns consistently (via story-context)
- Code standards applied uniformly (via epic-tech-context)
- PRD traceability throughout implementation (via acceptance criteria)
- No "telephone game" between PM, design, and dev
**PM Value:** What gets built **matches what was specified**, drastically reducing rework.
### 9. Rapid Prototyping for Validation
**PM Workflow (with BMad + Cursor/v0):**
1. Use BMad to generate PRD structure and requirements
2. Extract key user flow from PRD
3. Feed to Cursor/v0 with BMad context
4. Working prototype in 10-15 minutes
5. Validate with users **before** committing to full development
**Traditional:** Months of development to validate idea
**BMad Agentic:** Hours of development to validate idea
### 10. Career Path Evolution
**BMad positions PMs for emerging roles:**
- **AI Agent Product Manager** - Orchestrate autonomous development systems
- **Full-Stack Product Lead** - Oversee product, design, engineering with AI leverage
- **Technical Product Strategist** - Bridge business vision and technical execution
**Hiring advantage:** PMs using BMad demonstrate:
- Technical fluency (can read architecture, validate tech decisions)
- AI-native workflows (structured requirements, agentic orchestration)
- Results (ship 5-10× faster than peers)

## Team Collaboration Patterns
### Old Pattern: Story Parallelism
**Traditional Agile:**
```
Epic: User Dashboard (8 weeks)
├─ Story 1: Backend API (Dev A, Sprint 1-2)
├─ Story 2: Frontend Layout (Dev B, Sprint 1-2)
├─ Story 3: Data Viz (Dev C, Sprint 2-3)
└─ Story 4: Integration Testing (Team, Sprint 3-4)
Challenge: Coordination overhead, merge conflicts, integration issues
```
### New Pattern: Epic Ownership
**Agentic Development:**
```
Project: Analytics Platform (2-3 weeks)
Developer A:
└─ Epic 1: User Dashboard (3 days, 12 stories sequentially with AI)
Developer B:
└─ Epic 2: Admin Panel (4 days, 15 stories sequentially with AI)
Developer C:
└─ Epic 3: Reporting Engine (5 days, 18 stories sequentially with AI)
Benefit: Minimal coordination, epic-level ownership, clear boundaries
```
---
## Work Distribution Strategies
### Strategy 1: Epic-Based (Recommended)
**Best for:** 2-10 developers
**Approach:** Each developer owns complete epics, works sequentially through stories
**Example:**
```yaml
epics:
- id: epic-1
title: Payment Processing
owner: alice
stories: 8
estimate: 2 days
- id: epic-2
title: User Dashboard
owner: bob
stories: 12
estimate: 3 days
```
**Benefits:** Clear ownership, minimal conflicts, epic cohesion, reduced coordination
### Strategy 2: Layer-Based
**Best for:** Full-stack apps, specialized teams
**Example:**
```
Frontend Dev: Epic 1 (Product Catalog UI), Epic 3 (Cart UI)
Backend Dev: Epic 2 (Product API), Epic 4 (Cart Service)
```
**Benefits:** Developers in expertise area, true parallel work, clear API contracts
**Requirements:** Strong architecture phase, clear API contracts upfront
### Strategy 3: Feature-Based
**Best for:** Large teams (10+ developers)
**Example:**
```
Team A (2 devs): Payments feature (4 epics)
Team B (2 devs): User Management feature (3 epics)
Team C (2 devs): Analytics feature (3 epics)
```
**Benefits:** Feature team autonomy, domain expertise, scalable to large orgs
---
## Enterprise Configuration with Git Submodules
### The Challenge
**Problem:** Teams customize BMad (agents, workflows, configs) but don't want personal tooling in main repo.
**Anti-pattern:** Adding `.bmad/` to `.gitignore` breaks IDE tools, submodule management.
### The Solution: Git Submodules
**Benefits:**
- BMad exists in project but tracked separately
- Each developer controls their own BMad version/config
- Optional team config sharing via submodule repo
- IDE tools maintain proper context
### Setup (New Projects)
**1. Create optional team config repo:**
```bash
git init bmm-config
cd bmm-config
npx bmad-method install
# Customize for team standards
git commit -m "Team BMM config"
git push origin main
```
**2. Add submodule to project:**
```bash
cd /path/to/your-project
git submodule add https://github.com/your-org/bmm-config.git bmad
git commit -m "Add BMM as submodule"
```
**3. Team members initialize:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-org/your-project.git
cd your-project
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Make personal customizations in .bmad/
```
### Daily Workflow
**Work in main project:**
```bash
cd /path/to/your-project
# BMad available at ./.bmad/, load agents normally
```
**Update personal config:**
```bash
cd bmad
# Make changes, commit locally, don't push unless sharing
```
**Update to latest team config:**
```bash
cd bmad
git pull origin main
```
### Configuration Strategies
**Option 1: Fully Personal** - No submodule, each dev installs independently, use `.gitignore`
**Option 2: Team Baseline + Personal** - Submodule has team standards, devs add personal customizations locally
**Option 3: Full Team Sharing** - All configs in submodule, team collaborates on improvements
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Epic Ownership
- **Do:** Assign entire epic to one developer (context → implementation → retro)
- **Don't:** Split epics across multiple developers (coordination overhead, context loss)
### 2. Dependency Management
- **Do:** Identify epic dependencies in planning, document API contracts, complete prerequisites first
- **Don't:** Start dependent epic before prerequisite ready, change API contracts without coordination
### 3. Communication Cadence
**Traditional:** Daily standups essential
**Agentic:** Lighter coordination
**Recommended:**
- Daily async updates ("Epic 1, 60% complete, no blockers")
- Twice-weekly 15min sync
- Epic completion demos
- Sprint retro after all epics complete
### 4. Branch Strategy
```bash
feature/epic-1-payment-processing (Alice)
feature/epic-2-user-dashboard (Bob)
feature/epic-3-admin-panel (Carol)
# PR and merge when epic complete
```
### 5. Testing Strategy
- **Story-level:** Unit tests (DoD requirement, written by agent during dev-story)
- **Epic-level:** Integration tests across stories
- **Project-level:** E2E tests after multiple epics complete
### 6. Documentation Updates
- **Real-time:** `sprint-status.yaml` updated by workflows
- **Epic completion:** Update architecture docs, API docs, README if changed
- **Sprint completion:** Incorporate retrospective insights
### 7. Metrics (Different from Traditional)
**Traditional:** Story points per sprint, burndown charts
**Agentic:** Epics per week, stories per day, time to epic completion
**Example velocity:**
- Junior dev + AI: 1-2 epics/week (8-15 stories)
- Mid-level dev + AI: 2-3 epics/week (15-25 stories)
- Senior dev + AI: 3-5 epics/week (25-40 stories)

---
## Getting Started
### Q: Do I always need to run workflow-init?
**A:** No, once you learn the flow you can go directly to workflows. However, workflow-init is helpful because it:
- Determines your project's appropriate level automatically
- Creates the tracking status file
- Routes you to the correct starting workflow
For experienced users: use the [Quick Reference](./quick-start.md#quick-reference-agent-document-mapping) to go directly to the right agent/workflow.
### Q: Why do I need fresh chats for each workflow?
**A:** Context-intensive workflows (like brainstorming, PRD creation, architecture design) can cause AI hallucinations if run in sequence within the same chat. Starting fresh ensures the agent has maximum context capacity for each workflow. This is particularly important for:
- Planning workflows (PRD, architecture)
- Analysis workflows (brainstorming, research)
- Complex story implementation
Quick workflows like status checks can reuse chats safely.
### Q: Can I skip workflow-status and just start working?
**A:** Yes, if you already know your project level and which workflow comes next. workflow-status is mainly useful for:
- New projects (guides initial setup)
- When you're unsure what to do next
- After breaks in work (reminds you where you left off)
- Checking overall progress
### Q: What's the minimum I need to get started?
**A:** For the fastest path:
1. Install BMad Method: `npx bmad-method@alpha install`
2. For small changes: Load PM agent → run tech-spec → implement
3. For larger projects: Load PM agent → run prd → architect → implement
### Q: How do I know if I'm in Phase 1, 2, 3, or 4?
**A:** Check your `bmm-workflow-status.md` file (created by workflow-init). It shows your current phase and progress. If you don't have this file, you can also tell by what you're working on:
- **Phase 1** - Brainstorming, research, product brief (optional)
- **Phase 2** - Creating either a PRD or tech-spec (always required)
- **Phase 3** - Architecture design (Level 2-4 only)
- **Phase 4** - Actually writing code, implementing stories
---
## Choosing the Right Level
### Q: How do I know which level my project is?
**A:** Use workflow-init for automatic detection, or self-assess using these keywords:
- **Level 0:** "fix", "bug", "typo", "small change", "patch" → 1 story
- **Level 1:** "simple", "basic", "small feature", "add" → 2-10 stories
- **Level 2:** "dashboard", "several features", "admin panel" → 5-15 stories
- **Level 3:** "platform", "integration", "complex", "system" → 12-40 stories
- **Level 4:** "enterprise", "multi-tenant", "multiple products" → 40+ stories
When in doubt, start smaller. You can always run create-prd later if needed.
### Q: Can I change levels mid-project?
**A:** Yes! If you started at Level 1 but realize it's Level 2, you can run create-prd to add proper planning docs. The system is flexible - your initial level choice isn't permanent.
### Q: What if workflow-init suggests the wrong level?
**A:** You can override it! workflow-init suggests a level but always asks for confirmation. If you disagree, just say so and choose the level you think is appropriate. Trust your judgment.
### Q: Do I always need architecture for Level 2?
**A:** No, architecture is **optional** for Level 2. Only create architecture if you need system-level design. Many Level 2 projects work fine with just PRD + epic-tech-context created during implementation.
### Q: What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?
**A:**
- **Level 1:** 1-10 stories, uses tech-spec (simpler, faster), no architecture
- **Level 2:** 5-15 stories, uses PRD (product-focused), optional architecture
The overlap (5-10 stories) is intentional. Choose based on:
- Need product-level planning? → Level 2
- Just need technical plan? → Level 1
- Multiple epics? → Level 2
- Single epic? → Level 1
---
## Workflows and Phases
### Q: What's the difference between workflow-status and workflow-init?
**A:**
- **workflow-status:** Checks existing status and tells you what's next (use when continuing work)
- **workflow-init:** Creates new status file and sets up project (use when starting new project)
If status file exists, use workflow-status. If not, use workflow-init.
### Q: Can I skip Phase 1 (Analysis)?
**A:** Yes! Phase 1 is optional for all levels, though recommended for complex projects. Skip if:
- Requirements are clear
- No research needed
- Time-sensitive work
- Small changes (Level 0-1)
### Q: When is Phase 3 (Architecture) required?
**A:**
- **Level 0-1:** Never (skip entirely)
- **Level 2:** Optional (only if system design needed)
- **Level 3-4:** Required (comprehensive architecture mandatory)
### Q: What happens if I skip a recommended workflow?
**A:** Nothing breaks! Workflows are guidance, not enforcement. However, skipping recommended workflows (like architecture for Level 3) may cause:
- Integration issues during implementation
- Rework due to poor planning
- Conflicting design decisions
- Longer development time overall
### Q: How do I know when Phase 3 is complete and I can start Phase 4?
**A:** For Level 3-4, run the solutioning-gate-check workflow. It validates that PRD, architecture, and UX (if applicable) are cohesive before implementation. Pass the gate check = ready for Phase 4.
### Q: Can I run workflows in parallel or do they have to be sequential?
**A:** Most workflows must be sequential within a phase:
- Phase 1: brainstorm → research → product-brief (optional order)
- Phase 2: PRD must complete before moving forward
- Phase 3: architecture → validate → gate-check (sequential)
- Phase 4: Stories within an epic should generally be sequential, but stories in different epics can be parallel if you have capacity
---
## Planning Documents
### Q: What's the difference between tech-spec and epic-tech-context?
**A:**
- **Tech-spec (Level 0-1):** Created upfront in Planning Phase, serves as primary/only planning document, a combination of enough technical and planning information to drive a single or multiple files
- **Epic-tech-context (Level 2-4):** Created during Implementation Phase per epic, supplements PRD + Architecture
Think of it as: tech-spec is for small projects (replaces PRD and architecture), epic-tech-context is for large projects (supplements PRD).
### Q: Why no tech-spec at Level 2+?
**A:** Level 2+ projects need product-level planning (PRD) and system-level design (Architecture), which tech-spec doesn't provide. Tech-spec is too narrow for coordinating multiple features. Instead, Level 2-4 uses:
- PRD (product vision, requirements, epics)
- Architecture (system design)
- Epic-tech-context (detailed implementation per epic, created just-in-time)
### Q: When do I create epic-tech-context?
**A:** In Phase 4, right before implementing each epic. Don't create all epic-tech-context upfront - that's over-planning. Create them just-in-time using the epic-tech-context workflow as you're about to start working on that epic.
**Why just-in-time?** You'll learn from earlier epics, and those learnings improve later epic-tech-context.
### Q: Do I need a PRD for a bug fix?
**A:** No! Bug fixes are typically Level 0 (single atomic change). Use Quick Spec Flow:
- Load PM agent
- Run tech-spec workflow
- Implement immediately
PRDs are for Level 2-4 projects with multiple features requiring product-level coordination.
### Q: Can I skip the product brief?
**A:** Yes, product brief is always optional. It's most valuable for:
- Level 3-4 projects needing strategic direction
- Projects with stakeholders requiring alignment
- Novel products needing market research
- When you want to explore solution space before committing
---
## Implementation
### Q: Do I need story-context for every story?
**A:** Technically no, but it's recommended. story-context provides implementation-specific guidance, references existing patterns, and injects expertise. Skip it only if:
- Very simple story (self-explanatory)
- You're already expert in the area
- Time is extremely limited
For Level 0-1 using tech-spec, story-context is less critical because tech-spec is already comprehensive.
### Q: What if I don't create epic-tech-context before drafting stories?
**A:** You can proceed without it, but you'll miss:
- Epic-level technical direction
- Architecture guidance for this epic
- Integration strategy with other epics
- Common patterns to follow across stories
epic-tech-context helps ensure stories within an epic are cohesive.
### Q: How do I mark a story as done?
**A:** You have two options:
**Option 1: Use story-done workflow (Recommended)**
1. Load SM agent
2. Run `story-done` workflow
3. Workflow automatically updates `sprint-status.yaml` (created by sprint-planning at Phase 4 start)
4. Moves story from current status → `DONE`
5. Advances the story queue
**Option 2: Manual update**
1. After dev-story completes and code-review passes
2. Open `sprint-status.yaml` (created by sprint-planning)
3. Change the story status from `review` to `done`
4. Save the file
The story-done workflow is faster and ensures proper status file updates.
### Q: Can I work on multiple stories at once?
**A:** Yes, if you have capacity! Stories within different epics can be worked in parallel. However, stories within the same epic are usually sequential because they build on each other.
### Q: What if my story takes longer than estimated?
**A:** That's normal! Stories are estimates. If implementation reveals more complexity:
1. Continue working until DoD is met
2. Consider if story should be split
3. Document learnings in retrospective
4. Adjust future estimates based on this learning
### Q: When should I run retrospective?
**A:** After completing all stories in an epic (when epic is done). Retrospectives capture:
- What went well
- What could improve
- Technical insights
- Input for next epic-tech-context
Don't wait until project end - run after each epic for continuous improvement.

## Brownfield Development
### Q: What is brownfield vs greenfield?
**A:**
- **Greenfield:** New project, starting from scratch, clean slate
- **Brownfield:** Existing project, working with established codebase and patterns
### Q: Do I have to run document-project for brownfield?
**A:** Highly recommended, especially if:
- No existing documentation
- Documentation is outdated
- AI agents need context about existing code
- Level 2-4 complexity
You can skip it if you have comprehensive, up-to-date documentation including `docs/index.md`.
### Q: What if I forget to run document-project on brownfield?
**A:** Workflows will lack context about existing code. You may get:
- Suggestions that don't match existing patterns
- Integration approaches that miss existing APIs
- Architecture that conflicts with current structure
Run document-project and restart planning with proper context.
### Q: Can I use Quick Spec Flow for brownfield projects?
**A:** Yes! Quick Spec Flow works great for brownfield. It will:
- Auto-detect your existing stack
- Analyze brownfield code patterns
- Detect conventions and ask for confirmation
- Generate context-rich tech-spec that respects existing code
Perfect for bug fixes and small features in existing codebases.
### Q: How does workflow-init handle brownfield with old planning docs?
**A:** workflow-init asks about YOUR current work first, then uses old artifacts as context:
1. Shows what it found (old PRD, epics, etc.)
2. Asks: "Is this work in progress, previous effort, or proposed work?"
3. If previous effort: Asks you to describe your NEW work
4. Determines level based on YOUR work, not old artifacts
This prevents old Level 3 PRDs from forcing Level 3 workflow for new Level 0 bug fix.
### Q: What if my existing code doesn't follow best practices?
**A:** Quick Spec Flow detects your conventions and asks: "Should I follow these existing conventions?" You decide:
- **Yes** → Maintain consistency with current codebase
- **No** → Establish new standards (document why in tech-spec)
BMM respects your choice - it won't force modernization, but it will offer it.
---
## Tools and Technical
### Q: Why are my Mermaid diagrams not rendering?
**A:** Common issues:
1. Missing language tag: Use ` ```mermaid` not just ` ``` `
2. Syntax errors in diagram (validate at mermaid.live)
3. Tool doesn't support Mermaid (check your Markdown renderer)
All BMM docs use valid Mermaid syntax that should render in GitHub, VS Code, and most IDEs.
### Q: Can I use BMM with GitHub Copilot / Cursor / other AI tools?
**A:** Yes! BMM is complementary. BMM handles:
- Project planning and structure
- Workflow orchestration
- Agent Personas and expertise
- Documentation generation
- Quality gates
Your AI coding assistant handles:
- Line-by-line code completion
- Quick refactoring
- Test generation
Use them together for best results.
### Q: What IDEs/tools support BMM?
**A:** BMM requires tools with **agent mode** and access to **high-quality LLM models** that can load and follow complex workflows, then properly implement code changes.
**Recommended Tools:**
- **Claude Code** ⭐ **Best choice**
- Sonnet 4.5 (excellent workflow following, coding, reasoning)
- Opus (maximum context, complex planning)
- Native agent mode designed for BMM workflows
- **Cursor**
- Supports Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI models
- Agent mode with composer
- Good for developers who prefer Cursor's UX
- **Windsurf**
- Multi-model support
- Agent capabilities
- Suitable for BMM workflows
**What Matters:**
1. **Agent mode** - Can load long workflow instructions and maintain context
2. **High-quality LLM** - Models ranked high on SWE-bench (coding benchmarks)
3. **Model selection** - Access to Claude Sonnet 4.5, Opus, or GPT-4o class models
4. **Context capacity** - Can handle large planning documents and codebases
**Why model quality matters:** BMM workflows require LLMs that can follow multi-step processes, maintain context across phases, and implement code that adheres to specifications. Tools with weaker models will struggle with workflow adherence and code quality.
See [IDE Setup Guides](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/main/docs/ide-info) for configuration specifics.
### Q: Can I customize agents?
**A:** Yes! Agents are installed as markdown files with XML-style content (optimized for LLMs, readable by any model). Create customization files in `.bmad/_cfg/agents/[agent-name].customize.yaml` to override default behaviors while keeping core functionality intact. See agent documentation for customization options.
**Note:** While source agents in this repo are YAML, they install as `.md` files with XML-style tags - a format any LLM can read and follow.
### Q: What happens to my planning docs after implementation?
**A:** Keep them! They serve as:
- Historical record of decisions
- Onboarding material for new team members
- Reference for future enhancements
- Audit trail for compliance
For enterprise projects (Level 4), consider archiving completed planning artifacts to keep workspace clean.
### Q: Can I use BMM for non-software projects?
**A:** BMM is optimized for software development, but the methodology principles (scale-adaptive planning, just-in-time design, context injection) can apply to other complex project types. You'd need to adapt workflows and agents for your domain.
---
## Advanced Questions
### Q: What if my project grows from Level 1 to Level 3?
**A:** Totally fine! When you realize scope has grown:
1. Run create-prd to add product-level planning
2. Run create-architecture for system design
3. Use existing tech-spec as input for PRD
4. Continue with updated level
The system is flexible - growth is expected.
### Q: Can I mix greenfield and brownfield approaches?
**A:** Yes! Common scenario: adding new greenfield feature to brownfield codebase. Approach:
1. Run document-project for brownfield context
2. Use greenfield workflows for new feature planning
3. Explicitly document integration points between new and existing
4. Test integration thoroughly
### Q: How do I handle urgent hotfixes during a sprint?
**A:** Use correct-course workflow or just:
1. Save your current work state
2. Load PM agent → quick tech-spec for hotfix
3. Implement hotfix (Level 0 flow)
4. Deploy hotfix
5. Return to original sprint work
Level 0 Quick Spec Flow is perfect for urgent fixes.
### Q: What if I disagree with the workflow's recommendations?
**A:** Workflows are guidance, not enforcement. If a workflow recommends something that doesn't make sense for your context:
- Explain your reasoning to the agent
- Ask for alternative approaches
- Skip the recommendation if you're confident
- Document why you deviated (for future reference)
Trust your expertise - BMM supports your decisions.
### Q: Can multiple developers work on the same BMM project?
**A:** Yes! But the paradigm is fundamentally different from traditional agile teams.
**Key Difference:**
- **Traditional:** Multiple devs work on stories within one epic (months)
- **Agentic:** Each dev owns complete epics (days)
**In traditional agile:** A team of 5 devs might spend 2-3 months on a single epic, with each dev owning different stories.
**With BMM + AI agents:** A single dev can complete an entire epic in 1-3 days. What used to take months now takes days.
**Team Work Distribution:**
- **Recommended:** Split work by **epic** (not story)
- Each developer owns complete epics end-to-end
- Parallel work happens at epic level
- Minimal coordination needed
**For full-stack apps:**
- Frontend and backend can be separate epics (unusual in traditional agile)
- Frontend dev owns all frontend epics
- Backend dev owns all backend epics
- Works because delivery is so fast
**Enterprise Considerations:**
- Use **git submodules** for BMM installation (not .gitignore)
- Allows personal configurations without polluting main repo
- Teams may use different AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
- Developers may follow different methods or create custom agents/workflows
**Quick Tips:**
- Share `sprint-status.yaml` (single source of truth)
- Assign entire epics to developers (not individual stories)
- Coordinate at epic boundaries, not story level
- Use git submodules for BMM in enterprise settings
**For comprehensive coverage of enterprise team collaboration, work distribution strategies, git submodule setup, and velocity expectations, see:**
👉 **[Enterprise Agentic Development Guide](./enterprise-agentic-development.md)**
### Q: What is party mode and when should I use it?
**A:** Party mode is a unique multi-agent collaboration feature where ALL your installed agents (19+ from BMM, CIS, BMB, custom modules) discuss your challenges together in real-time.
**How it works:**
1. Run `/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode` (or `*party-mode` from any agent)
2. Introduce your topic
3. BMad Master selects 2-3 most relevant agents per message
4. Agents cross-talk, debate, and build on each other's ideas
**Best for:**
- Strategic decisions with trade-offs (architecture choices, tech stack, scope)
- Creative brainstorming (game design, product innovation, UX ideation)
- Cross-functional alignment (epic kickoffs, retrospectives, phase transitions)
- Complex problem-solving (multi-faceted challenges, risk assessment)
**Example parties:**
- **Product Strategy:** PM + Innovation Strategist (CIS) + Analyst
- **Technical Design:** Architect + Creative Problem Solver (CIS) + Game Architect
- **User Experience:** UX Designer + Design Thinking Coach (CIS) + Storyteller (CIS)
**Why it's powerful:**
- Diverse perspectives (technical, creative, strategic)
- Healthy debate reveals blind spots
- Emergent insights from agent interaction
- Natural collaboration across modules
**For complete documentation:**

## Core Concepts
### BMM (BMad Method Module)
Core orchestration system for AI-driven agile development, providing comprehensive lifecycle management through specialized agents and workflows.
### BMad Method
The complete methodology for AI-assisted software development, encompassing planning, architecture, implementation, and quality assurance workflows that adapt to project complexity.
### Scale-Adaptive System
BMad Method's intelligent workflow orchestration that automatically adjusts planning depth, documentation requirements, and implementation processes based on project needs through three distinct planning tracks (Quick Flow, BMad Method, Enterprise Method).
### Agent
A specialized AI persona with specific expertise (PM, Architect, SM, DEV, TEA) that guides users through workflows and creates deliverables. Agents have defined capabilities, communication styles, and workflow access.
### Workflow
A multi-step guided process that orchestrates AI agent activities to produce specific deliverables. Workflows are interactive and adapt to user context.
---
## Scale and Complexity
### Quick Flow Track
Fast implementation track using tech-spec planning only. Best for bug fixes, small features, and changes with clear scope. Typical range: 1-15 stories. No architecture phase needed. Examples: bug fixes, OAuth login, search features.
### BMad Method Track
Full product planning track using PRD + Architecture + UX. Best for products, platforms, and complex features requiring system design. Typical range: 10-50+ stories. Examples: admin dashboards, e-commerce platforms, SaaS products.
### Enterprise Method Track
Extended enterprise planning track adding Security Architecture, DevOps Strategy, and Test Strategy to BMad Method. Best for enterprise requirements, compliance needs, and multi-tenant systems. Typical range: 30+ stories. Examples: multi-tenant platforms, compliance-driven systems, mission-critical applications.
### Planning Track
The methodology path (Quick Flow, BMad Method, or Enterprise Method) chosen for a project based on planning needs, complexity, and requirements rather than story count alone.
**Note:** Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Tracks are determined by what planning the project needs, not story math.
---
## Planning Documents
### Tech-Spec (Technical Specification)
**Quick Flow track only.** Comprehensive technical plan created upfront that serves as the primary planning document for small changes or features. Contains problem statement, solution approach, file-level changes, stack detection (brownfield), testing strategy, and developer resources.
### Epic-Tech-Context (Epic Technical Context)
**BMad Method/Enterprise tracks only.** Detailed technical planning document created during implementation (just-in-time) for each epic. Supplements PRD + Architecture with epic-specific implementation details, code-level design decisions, and integration points.
**Key Difference:** Tech-spec (Quick Flow) is created upfront and is the only planning doc. Epic-tech-context (BMad Method/Enterprise) is created per epic during implementation and supplements PRD + Architecture.
### PRD (Product Requirements Document)
**BMad Method/Enterprise tracks.** Product-level planning document containing vision, goals, feature requirements, epic breakdown, success criteria, and UX considerations. Replaces tech-spec for larger projects that need product planning.
### Architecture Document
**BMad Method/Enterprise tracks.** System-wide design document defining structure, components, interactions, data models, integration patterns, security, performance, and deployment.
**Scale-Adaptive:** Architecture complexity scales with track - BMad Method is lightweight to moderate, Enterprise Method is comprehensive with security/devops/test strategies.
### Epics
High-level feature groupings that contain multiple related stories. Typically span 5-15 stories each and represent cohesive functionality (e.g., "User Authentication Epic").
### Product Brief
Optional strategic planning document created in Phase 1 (Analysis) that captures product vision, market context, user needs, and high-level requirements before detailed planning.
### GDD (Game Design Document)
Game development equivalent of PRD, created by Game Designer agent for game projects.
---
## Workflow and Phases
### Phase 0: Documentation (Prerequisite)
**Conditional phase for brownfield projects.** Creates comprehensive codebase documentation before planning. Only required if existing documentation is insufficient for AI agents.
### Phase 1: Analysis (Optional)
Discovery and research phase including brainstorming, research workflows, and product brief creation. Optional for Quick Flow, recommended for BMad Method, required for Enterprise Method.
### Phase 2: Planning (Required)
**Always required.** Creates formal requirements and work breakdown. Routes to tech-spec (Quick Flow) or PRD (BMad Method/Enterprise) based on selected track.
### Phase 3: Solutioning (Track-Dependent)
Architecture design phase. Required for BMad Method and Enterprise Method tracks. Includes architecture creation, validation, and gate checks.
### Phase 4: Implementation (Required)
Sprint-based development through story-by-story iteration. Uses sprint-planning, epic-tech-context, create-story, story-context, dev-story, code-review, and retrospective workflows.
### Quick Spec Flow
Fast-track workflow system for Quick Flow track projects that goes straight from idea to tech-spec to implementation, bypassing heavy planning. Designed for bug fixes, small features, and rapid prototyping.
### Just-In-Time Design
Pattern where epic-tech-context is created during implementation (Phase 4) right before working on each epic, rather than all upfront. Enables learning and adaptation.
### Context Injection
Dynamic technical guidance generated for each story via epic-tech-context and story-context workflows, providing exact expertise when needed without upfront over-planning.
---
## Agents and Roles
### PM (Product Manager)
Agent responsible for creating PRDs, tech-specs, and managing product requirements. Primary agent for Phase 2 planning.
### Analyst (Business Analyst)
Agent that initializes workflows, conducts research, creates product briefs, and tracks progress. Often the entry point for new projects.
### Architect
Agent that designs system architecture, creates architecture documents, performs technical reviews, and validates designs. Primary agent for Phase 3 solutioning.
### SM (Scrum Master)
Agent that manages sprints, creates stories, generates contexts, and coordinates implementation. Primary orchestrator for Phase 4 implementation.
### DEV (Developer)
Agent that implements stories, writes code, runs tests, and performs code reviews. Primary implementer in Phase 4.
### TEA (Test Architect)
Agent responsible for test strategy, quality gates, NFR assessment, and comprehensive quality assurance. Integrates throughout all phases.
### Technical Writer
Agent specialized in creating and maintaining high-quality technical documentation. Expert in documentation standards, information architecture, and professional technical writing. The agent's internal name is "paige" but is presented as "Technical Writer" to users.
### UX Designer
Agent that creates UX design documents, interaction patterns, and visual specifications for UI-heavy projects.
### Game Designer
Specialized agent for game development projects. Creates game design documents (GDD) and game-specific workflows.
### BMad Master
Meta-level orchestrator agent from BMad Core. Facilitates party mode, lists available tasks and workflows, and provides high-level guidance across all modules.
### Party Mode
Multi-agent collaboration feature where all installed agents (19+ from BMM, CIS, BMB, custom modules) discuss challenges together in real-time. BMad Master orchestrates, selecting 2-3 relevant agents per message for natural cross-talk and debate. Best for strategic decisions, creative brainstorming, cross-functional alignment, and complex problem-solving. See [Party Mode Guide](./party-mode.md).
---
## Status and Tracking
### bmm-workflow-status.yaml
**Phases 1-3.** Tracking file that shows current phase, completed workflows, progress, and next recommended actions. Created by workflow-init, updated automatically.
### sprint-status.yaml
**Phase 4 only.** Single source of truth for implementation tracking. Contains all epics, stories, and retrospectives with current status for each. Created by sprint-planning, updated by agents.
### Story Status Progression
```
backlog → drafted → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done
```
- **backlog** - Story exists in epic but not yet drafted
- **drafted** - Story file created by SM via create-story
- **ready-for-dev** - Story has context, ready for DEV via story-context
- **in-progress** - DEV is implementing via dev-story
- **review** - Implementation complete, awaiting code-review
- **done** - Completed with DoD met
### Epic Status Progression
```
backlog → contexted
```
- **backlog** - Epic exists in planning docs but no context yet
- **contexted** - Epic has technical context via epic-tech-context
### Retrospective
Workflow run after completing each epic to capture learnings, identify improvements, and feed insights into next epic planning. Critical for continuous improvement.
---
## Project Types
### Greenfield
New project starting from scratch with no existing codebase. Freedom to establish patterns, choose stack, and design from clean slate.
### Brownfield
Existing project with established codebase, patterns, and constraints. Requires understanding existing architecture, respecting established conventions, and planning integration with current systems.
**Critical:** Brownfield projects should run document-project workflow BEFORE planning to ensure AI agents have adequate context about existing code.
### document-project Workflow
**Brownfield prerequisite.** Analyzes and documents existing codebase, creating comprehensive documentation including project overview, architecture analysis, source tree, API contracts, and data models. Three scan levels: quick, deep, exhaustive.
---
## Implementation Terms
### Story
Single unit of implementable work with clear acceptance criteria, typically 2-8 hours of development effort. Stories are grouped into epics and tracked in sprint-status.yaml.
### Story File
Markdown file containing story details: description, acceptance criteria, technical notes, dependencies, implementation guidance, and testing requirements.
### Story Context
Technical guidance document created via story-context workflow that provides implementation-specific context, references existing patterns, suggests approaches, and injects expertise for the specific story.
### Epic Context
Technical planning document created via epic-tech-context workflow before drafting stories within an epic. Provides epic-level technical direction, architecture notes, and implementation strategy.
### Sprint Planning
Workflow that initializes Phase 4 implementation by creating sprint-status.yaml, extracting all epics/stories from planning docs, and setting up tracking infrastructure.
### Gate Check
Validation workflow (solutioning-gate-check) run before Phase 4 to ensure PRD, architecture, and UX documents are cohesive with no gaps or contradictions. Required for BMad Method and Enterprise Method tracks.
### DoD (Definition of Done)
Criteria that must be met before marking a story as done. Typically includes: implementation complete, tests written and passing, code reviewed, documentation updated, and acceptance criteria validated.
### Shard / Sharding
**For runtime LLM optimization only (NOT human docs).** Splitting large planning documents (PRD, epics, architecture) into smaller section-based files to improve workflow efficiency. Phase 1-3 workflows load entire sharded documents transparently. Phase 4 workflows selectively load only needed sections for massive token savings.
---
## Additional Terms
### Workflow Status
Universal entry point workflow that checks for existing status file, displays current phase/progress, and recommends next action based on project state.
### Workflow Init
Initialization workflow that creates bmm-workflow-status.yaml, detects greenfield vs brownfield, determines planning track, and sets up appropriate workflow path.
### Track Selection
Automatic analysis by workflow-init that uses keyword analysis, complexity indicators, and project requirements to suggest appropriate track (Quick Flow, BMad Method, or Enterprise Method). User can override suggested track.
### Correct Course
Workflow run during Phase 4 when significant changes or issues arise. Analyzes impact, proposes solutions, and routes to appropriate remediation workflows.
### Migration Strategy
Plan for handling changes to existing data, schemas, APIs, or patterns during brownfield development. Critical for ensuring backward compatibility and smooth rollout.
### Feature Flags
Implementation technique for brownfield projects that allows gradual rollout of new functionality, easy rollback, and A/B testing. Recommended for BMad Method and Enterprise brownfield changes.
### Integration Points
Specific locations where new code connects with existing systems. Must be documented explicitly in brownfield tech-specs and architectures.
### Convention Detection
Quick Spec Flow feature that automatically detects existing code style, naming conventions, patterns, and frameworks from brownfield codebases, then asks user to confirm before proceeding.

# Party Mode: Multi-Agent Collaboration
**Get all your AI agents in one conversation**
---
## What is Party Mode?
Ever wanted to gather your entire AI team in one room and see what happens? That's party mode.
Type `/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode` (or `*party-mode` from any agent), and suddenly you've got **all your AI agents** in one conversation. PM, Architect, DEV, UX Designer, the CIS creative agents - everyone shows up.
**Why it's useful:**
- **After complex workflows** - Debrief with the whole team about what worked, what didn't
- **Big decisions with tradeoffs** - Get technical, creative, and strategic perspectives simultaneously
- **Brainstorming sessions** - Watch ideas evolve through cross-pollination
- **When things go wrong** - Call out failures, watch agents defend their decisions, let them debate whose fault it was (oddly therapeutic)
- **Sprint retrospectives** - Party mode powers the retrospective workflow
- **Sprint planning** - Multi-agent collaboration for planning sessions
**Future use:** Advanced elicitation workflows will leverage party mode for sophisticated requirement gathering.
---
## How It Works
**The basics:**
1. Party mode reads `.bmad/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv`
2. Loads ALL installed agents (already includes your customizations from install)
3. BMad Master orchestrates - picks 2-3 relevant agents per message based on topic
4. Agents respond in character, can agree/disagree/build on each other's ideas
5. Discussion continues until you type "exit" or reach natural conclusion
**That's it.** No complex merging, no runtime magic. Just agents talking.
---
## Quick Start
```bash
# Trigger party mode
/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode
# OR from any agent context
*party-mode
# During party
Ask questions, respond to agents, direct the conversation
# Exit
Type: exit
```
---
## Fun Examples
### Example 1: Calling Out Bad Architecture
**You:** "Okay team, our last sprint was a disaster. The authentication service went down three times. Who screwed this up?"
**Architect (Winston):** "The design was sound - distributed authentication with proper fallbacks. If implementation deviated from the spec..."
**DEV (Amelia):** "I followed the architecture doc exactly. The spec didn't account for concurrent session invalidation race conditions."
**PM (John):** "Both of you missed the bigger issue - we didn't validate session management requirements in the PRD. This is on me for not catching it."
**TEA (Murat):** "And I should've caught this in integration tests. The test scenarios didn't cover concurrent invalidation."
_(Watch them debate whose fault it really was - it's therapeutic)_
---
### Example 2: Creative Brainstorming
**You:** "How do we make onboarding feel magical instead of boring?"
**UX Designer (Sally):** "Start with progressive disclosure - reveal features as users need them, not all at once in a tutorial."
**Storyteller (CIS):** "What if onboarding was a story? Each step reveals a character's journey - the user IS the hero."
**Innovation Strategist (CIS):** "Take it further - gamify with unlockable achievements. But make them meaningful, not arbitrary badges."
**Game Designer:** "Building on that - what if the first 'quest' is actually solving a real user problem? They learn by doing something valuable."
_(Ideas cross-pollinate and evolve)_
---
### Example 3: Technical Decision
**You:** "Monolith or microservices for MVP?"
**Architect:** "Start monolith. Microservices add complexity you don't need at 1000 users."
**PM:** "Agree. Time to market matters more than theoretical scalability."
**DEV:** "Monolith with clear module boundaries. We can extract services later if needed."
**Innovation Strategist:** "Contrarian take - if your differentiator IS scalability, build for it now. Otherwise Architect's right."
_(Multiple perspectives reveal the right answer)_
---
## When NOT to Use Party Mode
**Skip party mode for:**
- Simple implementation questions → Use DEV agent
- Document review → Use Technical Writer
- Workflow status checks → Use any agent + `*workflow-status`
- Single-domain questions → Use specialist agent
**Use party mode for:**
- Multi-perspective decisions
- Creative collaboration
- Post-mortems and retrospectives
- Sprint planning sessions
- Complex problem-solving
---
## Agent Customization
Party mode uses agents from `.bmad/[module]/agents/*.md` - these already include any customizations you applied during install.
**To customize agents for party mode:**
1. Create customization file: `.bmad/_cfg/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml`
2. Run `npx bmad-method install` to rebuild agents
3. Customizations now active in party mode
Example customization:
```yaml
agent:
persona:
principles:
- 'HIPAA compliance is non-negotiable'
- 'Patient safety over feature velocity'
```
See [Agents Guide](./agents-guide.md#agent-customization) for details.
---
## BMM Workflows That Use Party Mode
**Current:**
- `epic-retrospective` - Post-epic team retrospective powered by party mode
- Sprint planning discussions (informal party mode usage)
**Future:**
- Advanced elicitation workflows will officially integrate party mode
- Multi-agent requirement validation
- Collaborative technical reviews
---
## Available Agents
Party mode can include **19+ agents** from all installed modules:
**BMM (12 agents):** PM, Analyst, Architect, SM, DEV, TEA, UX Designer, Technical Writer, Game Designer, Game Developer, Game Architect
**CIS (5 agents):** Brainstorming Coach, Creative Problem Solver, Design Thinking Coach, Innovation Strategist, Storyteller
**BMB (1 agent):** BMad Builder
**Core (1 agent):** BMad Master (orchestrator)
**Custom:** Any agents you've created
---
## Tips
**Get better results:**
- Be specific with your topic/question
- Provide context (project type, constraints, goals)
- Direct specific agents when you want their expertise
- Make decisions - party mode informs, you decide
- Time box discussions (15-30 minutes is usually plenty)
**Examples of good opening questions:**
- "We need to decide between REST and GraphQL for our mobile API. Project is a B2B SaaS with 50 enterprise clients."
- "Our last sprint failed spectacularly. Let's discuss what went wrong with authentication implementation."
- "Brainstorm: how can we make our game's tutorial feel rewarding instead of tedious?"
---
## Troubleshooting
**Same agents responding every time?**
Vary your questions or explicitly request other perspectives: "Game Designer, your thoughts?"
**Discussion going in circles?**
BMad Master will summarize and redirect, or you can make a decision and move on.
**Too many agents talking?**
Make your topic more specific - BMad Master picks 2-3 agents based on relevance.
**Agents not using customizations?**
Make sure you ran `npx bmad-method install` after creating customization files.

# BMad Quick Spec Flow
**Perfect for:** Bug fixes, small features, rapid prototyping, and quick enhancements
**Time to implementation:** Minutes, not hours
---
## What is Quick Spec Flow?
Quick Spec Flow is a **streamlined alternative** to the full BMad Method for Quick Flow track projects. Instead of going through Product Brief → PRD → Architecture, you go **straight to a context-aware technical specification** and start coding.
### When to Use Quick Spec Flow
✅ **Use Quick Flow track when:**
- Single bug fix or small enhancement
- Small feature with clear scope (typically 1-15 stories)
- Rapid prototyping or experimentation
- Adding to existing brownfield codebase
- You know exactly what you want to build
❌ **Use BMad Method or Enterprise tracks when:**
- Building new products or major features
- Need stakeholder alignment
- Complex multi-team coordination
- Requires extensive planning and architecture
💡 **Not sure?** Run `workflow-init` to get a recommendation based on your project's needs!

## Single Atomic Change
**Best for:** Bug fixes, single file changes, isolated improvements
### What You Get
1. **tech-spec.md** - Comprehensive technical specification with:
- Problem statement and solution
- Detected framework versions and dependencies
- Brownfield code patterns (if applicable)
- Existing test patterns to follow
- Specific file paths to modify
- Complete implementation guidance
2. **story-[slug].md** - Single user story ready for development
### Quick Spec Flow Commands
```bash
# Start Quick Spec Flow (no workflow-init needed!)
# Load PM agent and run tech-spec
# When complete, implement directly:
# Load DEV agent and run dev-story
```
### What Makes It Quick
- ✅ No Product Brief needed
- ✅ No PRD needed
- ✅ No Architecture doc needed
- ✅ Auto-detects your stack
- ✅ Auto-analyzes brownfield code
- ✅ Auto-validates quality
- ✅ Story context optional (tech-spec is comprehensive!)
### Example Single Change Scenarios
- "Fix the login validation bug"
- "Add email field to user registration form"
- "Update API endpoint to return additional field"
- "Improve error handling in payment processing"
---
## Coherent Small Feature
**Best for:** Small features with 2-3 related user stories
### What You Get
1. **tech-spec.md** - Same comprehensive spec as single change projects
2. **epics.md** - Epic organization with story breakdown
3. **story-[epic-slug]-1.md** - First story
4. **story-[epic-slug]-2.md** - Second story
5. **story-[epic-slug]-3.md** - Third story (if needed)
### Quick Spec Flow Commands
```bash
# Start Quick Spec Flow
# Load PM agent and run tech-spec
# Optional: Organize stories as a sprint
# Load SM agent and run sprint-planning
# Implement story-by-story:
# Load DEV agent and run dev-story for each story
```
### Story Sequencing
Stories are **automatically validated** to ensure proper sequence:
- ✅ No forward dependencies (Story 2 can't depend on Story 3)
- ✅ Clear dependency documentation
- ✅ Infrastructure → Features → Polish order
- ✅ Backend → Frontend flow
### Example Small Feature Scenarios
- "Add OAuth social login (Google, GitHub, Twitter)"
- "Build user profile page with avatar upload"
- "Implement basic search with filters"
- "Add dark mode toggle to application"
---
## Smart Context Discovery
Quick Spec Flow automatically discovers and uses:
### 1. Existing Documentation
- Product briefs (if they exist)
- Research documents
- `document-project` output (brownfield codebase map)
### 2. Project Stack
- **Node.js:** package.json → frameworks, dependencies, scripts, test framework
- **Python:** requirements.txt, pyproject.toml → packages, tools
- **Ruby:** Gemfile → gems and versions
- **Java:** pom.xml, build.gradle → Maven/Gradle dependencies
- **Go:** go.mod → modules
- **Rust:** Cargo.toml → crates
- **PHP:** composer.json → packages
### 3. Brownfield Code Patterns
- Directory structure and organization
- Existing code patterns (class-based, functional, MVC)
- Naming conventions (camelCase, snake_case, PascalCase)
- Test frameworks and patterns
- Code style (semicolons, quotes, indentation)
- Linter/formatter configs
- Error handling patterns
- Logging conventions
- Documentation style
### 4. Convention Confirmation
**IMPORTANT:** Quick Spec Flow detects your conventions and **asks for confirmation**:
```
I've detected these conventions in your codebase:
Code Style:
- ESLint with Airbnb config
- Prettier with single quotes, 2-space indent
- No semicolons
Test Patterns:
- Jest test framework
- .test.js file naming
- expect() assertion style
Should I follow these existing conventions? (yes/no)
```
**You decide:** Conform to existing patterns or establish new standards!

**Auto-fixes issues if found!**
---
## Complete User Journey
### Scenario 1: Bug Fix (Single Change)
**Goal:** Fix login validation bug
**Steps:**
1. **Start:** Load PM agent, say "I want to fix the login validation bug"
2. **PM runs tech-spec workflow:**
- Asks: "What problem are you solving?"
- You explain the validation issue
- Detects your Node.js stack (Express 4.18.2, Jest for testing)
- Analyzes existing UserService code patterns
- Asks: "Should I follow your existing conventions?" → You say yes
- Generates tech-spec.md with specific file paths and patterns
- Creates story-login-fix.md
3. **Implement:** Load DEV agent, run `dev-story`
- DEV reads tech-spec (has all context!)
- Implements fix following existing patterns
- Runs tests (following existing Jest patterns)
- Done!
**Total time:** 15-30 minutes (mostly implementation)
---
### Scenario 2: Small Feature (Multi-Story)
**Goal:** Add OAuth social login (Google, GitHub)
**Steps:**
1. **Start:** Load PM agent, say "I want to add OAuth social login"
2. **PM runs tech-spec workflow:**
- Asks about the feature scope
- You specify: Google and GitHub OAuth
- Detects your stack (Next.js 13.4, NextAuth.js already installed!)
- Analyzes existing auth patterns
- Confirms conventions with you
- Generates:
- tech-spec.md (comprehensive implementation guide)
- epics.md (OAuth Integration epic)
- story-oauth-1.md (Backend OAuth setup)
- story-oauth-2.md (Frontend login buttons)
3. **Optional Sprint Planning:** Load SM agent, run `sprint-planning`
4. **Implement Story 1:**
- Load DEV agent, run `dev-story` for story 1
- DEV implements backend OAuth
5. **Implement Story 2:**
- DEV agent, run `dev-story` for story 2
- DEV implements frontend
- Done!
**Total time:** 1-3 hours (mostly implementation)
---
## Integration with Phase 4 Workflows
Quick Spec Flow works seamlessly with all Phase 4 implementation workflows:
### story-context (SM Agent)
- ✅ Recognizes tech-spec.md as authoritative source
- ✅ Extracts context from tech-spec (replaces PRD)
- ✅ Generates XML context for complex scenarios
### create-story (SM Agent)
- ✅ Can work with tech-spec.md instead of PRD
- ✅ Uses epics.md from tech-spec workflow
- ✅ Creates additional stories if needed
### sprint-planning (SM Agent)
- ✅ Works with epics.md from tech-spec
- ✅ Organizes multi-story features for coordinated implementation
- ✅ Tracks progress through sprint-status.yaml
### dev-story (DEV Agent)
- ✅ Reads stories generated by tech-spec
- ✅ Uses tech-spec.md as comprehensive context
- ✅ Implements following detected conventions

---
## FAQ
### Q: Can I use Quick Spec Flow on an existing project?
**A:** Yes! It's perfect for brownfield projects. It will analyze your existing code, detect patterns, and ask if you want to follow them.
### Q: What if I don't have a package.json or requirements.txt?
**A:** Quick Spec Flow will work in greenfield mode, recommend starter templates, and use WebSearch for modern best practices.
### Q: Do I need to run workflow-init first?
**A:** No! Quick Spec Flow is standalone. But if you want guidance on which flow to use, workflow-init can help.
### Q: Can I use this for frontend changes?
**A:** Absolutely! Quick Spec Flow captures UX/UI considerations, component changes, and accessibility requirements.
### Q: What if my Quick Flow project grows?
**A:** No problem! You can always transition to BMad Method by running workflow-init and create-prd. Your tech-spec becomes input for the PRD.
### Q: Do I need story-context for every story?
**A:** Usually no! Tech-spec is comprehensive enough for most Quick Flow projects. Only use story-context for complex edge cases.
### Q: Can I skip validation?
**A:** No, validation always runs automatically. But it's fast and catches issues early!
### Q: Will it work with my team's code style?
**A:** Yes! It detects your conventions and asks for confirmation. You control whether to follow existing patterns or establish new ones.
---
## Tips and Best Practices
### 1. **Be Specific in Discovery**
When describing your change, provide specifics:
- ✅ "Fix email validation in UserService to allow plus-addressing"
- ❌ "Fix validation bug"
### 2. **Trust the Convention Detection**
If it detects your patterns correctly, say yes! It's faster than establishing new conventions.
### 3. **Use WebSearch Recommendations for Greenfield**
Starter templates save hours of setup time. Let Quick Spec Flow find the best ones.
### 4. **Review the Auto-Validation**
When validation runs, read the scores. They tell you if your spec is production-ready.
### 5. **Story Context is Optional**
For single changes, try going directly to dev-story first. Only add story-context if you hit complexity.
### 6. **Keep Single Changes Truly Atomic**
If your "single change" needs 3+ files, it might be a multi-story feature. Let the workflow guide you.
### 7. **Validate Story Sequence for Multi-Story Features**
When you get multiple stories, check the dependency validation output. Proper sequence matters!
---
## Real-World Examples
### Example 1: Adding Logging (Single Change)
**Input:** "Add structured logging to payment processing"
**Tech-Spec Output:**
- Detected: winston 3.8.2 already in package.json
- Analyzed: Existing services use winston with JSON format
- Confirmed: Follow existing logging patterns
- Generated: Specific file paths, log levels, format example
- Story: Ready to implement in 1-2 hours
**Result:** Consistent logging added, following team patterns, no research needed.
---
### Example 2: Search Feature (Multi-Story)
**Input:** "Add search to product catalog with filters"
**Tech-Spec Output:**
- Detected: React 18.2.0, MUI component library, Express backend
- Analyzed: Existing ProductList component patterns
- Confirmed: Follow existing API and component structure
- Generated:
- Epic: Product Search Functionality
- Story 1: Backend search API with filters
- Story 2: Frontend search UI component
- Auto-validated: Story 1 → Story 2 sequence correct
**Result:** Search feature implemented in 4-6 hours with proper architecture.

# BMad Method V6 Quick Start Guide
Get started with BMad Method v6 for your new greenfield project. This guide walks you through building software from scratch using AI-powered workflows.
## TL;DR - The Quick Path
1. **Install**: `npx bmad-method@alpha install`
2. **Initialize**: Load Analyst agent → Run "workflow-init"
3. **Plan**: Load PM agent → Run "prd" (or "tech-spec" for small projects)
4. **Architect**: Load Architect agent → Run "create-architecture" (10+ stories only)
5. **Build**: Load SM agent → Run workflows for each story → Load DEV agent → Implement
6. **Always use fresh chats** for each workflow to avoid hallucinations
---
## What is BMad Method?
BMad Method (BMM) helps you build software through guided workflows with specialized AI agents. The process follows four phases:
1. **Phase 1: Analysis** (Optional) - Brainstorming, Research, Product Brief
2. **Phase 2: Planning** (Required) - Create your requirements (tech-spec or PRD)
3. **Phase 3: Solutioning** (Track-dependent) - Design the architecture for BMad Method and Enterprise tracks
4. **Phase 4: Implementation** (Required) - Build your software Epic by Epic, Story by Story
## Installation
```bash
# Install v6 Alpha to your project
npx bmad-method@alpha install
```
The interactive installer will guide you through setup and create a `.bmad/` folder with all agents and workflows.
---
## Getting Started
### Step 1: Initialize Your Workflow
1. **Load the Analyst agent** in your IDE - See your IDE-specific instructions in [docs/ide-info](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/main/docs/ide-info) for how to activate agents:
- [Claude Code](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/blob/main/docs/ide-info/claude-code.md)
- [VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/main/docs/ide-info) - Check your IDE folder
- Other IDEs also supported
2. **Wait for the agent's menu** to appear
3. **Tell the agent**: "Run workflow-init" or type "\*workflow-init" or select the menu item number
#### What happens during workflow-init?
Workflows are interactive processes in V6 that replaced tasks and templates from prior versions. There are many types of workflows, and you can even create your own with the BMad Builder module. For the BMad Method, you'll be interacting with expert-designed workflows crafted to work with you to get the best out of both you and the LLM.
During workflow-init, you'll describe:
- Your project and its goals
- Whether there's an existing codebase or this is a new project
- The general size and complexity (you can adjust this later)
#### Planning Tracks
Based on your description, the workflow will suggest a track and let you choose from:
**Three Planning Tracks:**
- **Quick Flow** - Fast implementation (tech-spec only) - bug fixes, simple features, clear scope (typically 1-15 stories)
- **BMad Method** - Full planning (PRD + Architecture + UX) - products, platforms, complex features (typically 10-50+ stories)
- **Enterprise Method** - Extended planning (BMad Method + Security/DevOps/Test) - enterprise requirements, compliance, multi-tenant (typically 30+ stories)
**Note**: Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Tracks are chosen based on planning needs, not story math.
#### What gets created?
Once you confirm your track, the `bmm-workflow-status.yaml` file will be created in your project's docs folder (assuming default install location). This file tracks your progress through all phases.
**Important notes:**
- Every track has different paths through the phases
- Story counts can still change based on overall complexity as you work
- For this guide, we'll assume a BMad Method track project
- This workflow will guide you through Phase 1 (optional), Phase 2 (required), and Phase 3 (required for BMad Method and Enterprise tracks)
### Step 2: Work Through Phases 1-3
After workflow-init completes, you'll work through the planning phases. **Important: Use fresh chats for each workflow to avoid context limitations.**
#### Checking Your Status
If you're unsure what to do next:
1. Load any agent in a new chat
2. Ask for "workflow-status"
3. The agent will tell you the next recommended or required workflow
**Example response:**
```
Phase 1 (Analysis) is entirely optional. All workflows are optional or recommended:
- brainstorm-project - optional
- research - optional
- product-brief - RECOMMENDED (but not required)
The next TRULY REQUIRED step is:
- PRD (Product Requirements Document) in Phase 2 - Planning
- Agent: pm
- Command: prd
```
#### How to Run Workflows in Phases 1-3
When an agent tells you to run a workflow (like `prd`):
1. **Start a new chat** with the specified agent (e.g., PM) - See [docs/ide-info](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/main/docs/ide-info) for your IDE's specific instructions
2. **Wait for the menu** to appear
3. **Tell the agent** to run it using any of these formats:
- Type the shorthand: `*prd`
- Say it naturally: "Let's create a new PRD"
- Select the menu number for "create-prd"
The agents in V6 are very good with fuzzy menu matching!
#### Quick Reference: Agent → Document Mapping
For v4 users or those who prefer to skip workflow-status guidance:
- **Analyst** → Brainstorming, Product Brief
- **PM** → PRD (BMad Method/Enterprise tracks) OR tech-spec (Quick Flow track)
- **UX-Designer** → UX Design Document (if UI-heavy)
- **Architect** → Architecture (BMad Method/Enterprise tracks)
#### Phase 2: Planning - Creating the PRD
**For BMad Method and Enterprise tracks:**
1. Load the **PM agent** in a new chat
2. Tell it to run the PRD workflow
3. Once complete, you'll have:
- **PRD.md** - Your Product Requirements Document
- Epic breakdown
**For Quick Flow track:**
- Use **tech-spec** instead of PRD (no architecture needed)
#### Phase 2 (Optional): UX Design
If your project has a user interface:
1. Load the **UX-Designer agent** in a new chat
2. Tell it to run the UX design workflow
3. After completion, run validations to ensure the Epics file stays updated
#### Phase 3: Architecture
**For BMad Method and Enterprise tracks:**
1. Load the **Architect agent** in a new chat
2. Tell it to run the create-architecture workflow
3. After completion, run validations to ensure the Epics file stays updated
#### Phase 3: Solutioning Gate Check (Highly Recommended)
Once architecture is complete:
1. Load the **Architect agent** in a new chat
2. Tell it to run "solutioning-gate-check"
3. This validates cohesion across all your planning documents (PRD, UX, Architecture, Epics)
4. This was called the "PO Master Checklist" in v4
**Why run this?** It ensures all your planning assets align properly before you start building.
#### Context Management Tips
- **Use 200k+ context models** for best results (Claude Sonnet 4.5, GPT-4, etc.)
- **Fresh chat for each workflow** - Brainstorming, Briefs, Research, and PRD generation are all context-intensive
- **No document sharding needed** - Unlike v4, you don't need to split documents
- **Web Bundles coming soon** - Will help save LLM tokens for users with limited plans
### Step 3: Start Building (Phase 4 - Implementation)
Once planning and architecture are complete, you'll move to Phase 4. **Important: Each workflow below should be run in a fresh chat to avoid context limitations and hallucinations.**
#### 3.1 Initialize Sprint Planning
1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM (Scrum Master) agent**
2. Wait for the menu to appear
3. Tell the agent: "Run sprint-planning"
4. This creates your `sprint-status.yaml` file that tracks all epics and stories
#### 3.2 Create Epic Context (Optional but Recommended)
1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent**
2. Wait for the menu
3. Tell the agent: "Run epic-tech-context"
4. This creates technical context for the current epic before drafting stories
#### 3.3 Draft Your First Story
1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent**
2. Wait for the menu
3. Tell the agent: "Run create-story"
4. This drafts the story file from the epic
#### 3.4 Add Story Context (Optional but Recommended)
1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent**
2. Wait for the menu
3. Tell the agent: "Run story-context"
4. This creates implementation-specific technical context for the story
#### 3.5 Implement the Story
1. **Start a new chat** with the **DEV agent**
2. Wait for the menu
3. Tell the agent: "Run dev-story"
4. The DEV agent will implement the story and update the sprint status
#### 3.6 Review the Code (Optional but Recommended)
1. **Start a new chat** with the **DEV agent**
2. Wait for the menu
3. Tell the agent: "Run code-review"
4. The DEV agent performs quality validation (this was called QA in v4)
### Step 4: Keep Going
For each subsequent story, repeat the cycle using **fresh chats** for each workflow:
1. **New chat** → SM agent → "Run create-story"
2. **New chat** → SM agent → "Run story-context"
3. **New chat** → DEV agent → "Run dev-story"
4. **New chat** → DEV agent → "Run code-review" (optional but recommended)
After completing all stories in an epic:
1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent**
2. Tell the agent: "Run retrospective"
**Why fresh chats?** Context-intensive workflows can cause hallucinations if you keep issuing commands in the same chat. Starting fresh ensures the agent has maximum context capacity for each workflow.
---
## Understanding the Agents
Each agent is a specialized AI persona:
- **Analyst** - Initializes workflows and tracks progress
- **PM** - Creates requirements and specifications
- **UX-Designer** - If your project has a front end - this designer will help produce artifacts, come up with mock updates, and design a great look and feel with you giving it guidance.
- **Architect** - Designs system architecture
- **SM (Scrum Master)** - Manages sprints and creates stories
- **DEV** - Implements code and reviews work
## How Workflows Work
1. **Load an agent** - Open the agent file in your IDE to activate it
2. **Wait for the menu** - The agent will present its available workflows
3. **Tell the agent what to run** - Say "Run [workflow-name]"
4. **Follow the prompts** - The agent guides you through each step
The agent creates documents, asks questions, and helps you make decisions throughout the process.
## Project Tracking Files
BMad creates two files to track your progress:
**1. bmm-workflow-status.yaml**
- Shows which phase you're in and what's next
- Created by workflow-init
- Updated automatically as you progress through phases
**2. sprint-status.yaml** (Phase 4 only)
- Tracks all your epics and stories during implementation
- Critical for SM and DEV agents to know what to work on next
- Created by sprint-planning workflow
- Updated automatically as stories progress
**You don't need to edit these manually** - agents update them as you work.

## Common Questions
**Q: Do I always need architecture?**
A: Only for BMad Method and Enterprise tracks. Quick Flow projects skip straight from tech-spec to implementation.
**Q: Can I change my plan later?**
A: Yes! The SM agent has a "correct-course" workflow for handling scope changes.
**Q: What if I want to brainstorm first?**
A: Load the Analyst agent and tell it to "Run brainstorm-project" before running workflow-init.
**Q: Why do I need fresh chats for each workflow?**
A: Context-intensive workflows can cause hallucinations if run in sequence. Fresh chats ensure maximum context capacity.
**Q: Can I skip workflow-init and workflow-status?**
A: Yes, once you learn the flow. Use the Quick Reference in Step 2 to go directly to the workflows you need.

# BMad Method Scale Adaptive System
**Automatically adapts workflows to project complexity - from quick fixes to enterprise systems**
---
## Overview
The **Scale Adaptive System** intelligently routes projects to the right planning methodology based on complexity, not arbitrary story counts.
### The Problem
Traditional methodologies apply the same process to every project:
- Bug fix requires full design docs
- Enterprise system built with minimal planning
- One-size-fits-none approach
### The Solution
BMad Method adapts to three distinct planning tracks:
- **Quick Flow**: Tech-spec only, implement immediately
- **BMad Method**: PRD + Architecture, structured approach
- **Enterprise Method**: Full planning with security/devops/test
**Result**: Right planning depth for every project.
---
## Quick Reference
### Three Tracks at a Glance
| Track | Planning Depth | Time Investment | Best For |
| --------------------- | --------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Quick Flow** | Tech-spec only | Hours to 1 day | Simple features, bug fixes, clear scope |
| **BMad Method** | PRD + Arch + UX | 1-3 days | Products, platforms, complex features |
| **Enterprise Method** | Method + Test/Sec/Ops | 3-7 days | Enterprise needs, compliance, multi-tenant |
### Decision Tree
```mermaid

style M fill:#bbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px,color:#000
style E fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px,color:#000
```
### Quick Keywords
- **Quick Flow**: fix, bug, simple, add, clear scope
- **BMad Method**: product, platform, dashboard, complex, multiple features
- **Enterprise Method**: enterprise, multi-tenant, compliance, security, audit
---
## How Track Selection Works
When you run `workflow-init`, it guides you through an educational choice:
### 1. Description Analysis
Analyzes your project description for complexity indicators and suggests an appropriate track.
### 2. Educational Presentation
Shows all three tracks with:
- Time investment
- Planning approach
- Benefits and trade-offs
- AI agent support level
- Concrete examples
### 3. Honest Recommendation
Provides tailored recommendation based on:
- Complexity keywords
- Greenfield vs brownfield
- User's description
### 4. User Choice
You choose the track that fits your situation. The system guides but never forces.
**Example:**
```
workflow-init: "Based on 'Add user dashboard with analytics', I recommend BMad Method.
This involves multiple features and system design. The PRD + Architecture
gives AI agents complete context for better code generation."
You: "Actually, this is simpler than it sounds. Quick Flow."
workflow-init: "Got it! Using Quick Flow with tech-spec."
```
---
## The Three Tracks
### Track 1: Quick Flow
**Definition**: Fast implementation with tech-spec planning.
**Time**: Hours to 1 day of planning
**Planning Docs**:
- Tech-spec.md (implementation-focused)
- Story files (1-15 typically, auto-detects epic structure)
**Workflow Path**:
```
(Brownfield: document-project first if needed)
Tech-Spec → Implement
```
**Use For**:
- Bug fixes
- Simple features
- Enhancements with clear scope
- Quick additions
**Story Count**: Typically 1-15 stories (guidance, not rule)
**Example**: "Fix authentication token expiration bug"
**AI Agent Support**: Basic - minimal context provided
**Trade-off**: Less planning = higher rework risk if complexity emerges
---
### Track 2: BMad Method (RECOMMENDED)
**Definition**: Full product + system design planning.
**Time**: 1-3 days of planning
**Planning Docs**:
- PRD.md (product requirements)
- Architecture.md (system design)
- UX Design (if UI components)
- Epic breakdown with stories
**Workflow Path**:
```
(Brownfield: document-project first if needed)
(Optional: Analysis phase - brainstorm, research, product brief)
PRD → (Optional UX) → Architecture → Gate Check → Implement
```
**Use For**:
**Greenfield**:
- Products
- Platforms
- Multi-feature initiatives
**Brownfield**:
- Complex additions (new UIs + APIs)
- Major refactors
- New modules
**Story Count**: Typically 10-50+ stories (guidance, not rule)
**Examples**:
- "User dashboard with analytics and preferences"
- "Add real-time collaboration to existing document editor"
- "Payment integration system"
**AI Agent Support**: Exceptional - complete context for coding partnership
**Why Architecture for Brownfield?**
Your brownfield documentation might be huge. Architecture workflow distills massive codebase context into a focused solution design specific to YOUR project. This keeps AI agents focused without getting lost in existing code.
**Benefits**:
- Complete AI agent context
- Prevents architectural drift
- Fewer surprises during implementation
- Better code quality
- Faster overall delivery (planning pays off)
---
### Track 3: Enterprise Method
**Definition**: Extended planning with security, devops, and test strategy.
**Time**: 3-7 days of planning
**Planning Docs**:
- All BMad Method docs PLUS:
- Security Architecture
- DevOps Strategy
- Test Strategy
- Compliance documentation
**Workflow Path**:
```
(Brownfield: document-project nearly mandatory)
Analysis (recommended/required) → PRD → UX → Architecture
Security Architecture → DevOps Strategy → Test Strategy
Gate Check → Implement
```
**Use For**:
- Enterprise requirements
- Multi-tenant systems
- Compliance needs (HIPAA, SOC2, etc.)
- Mission-critical systems
- Security-sensitive applications
**Story Count**: Typically 30+ stories (but defined by enterprise needs, not count)
**Examples**:
- "Multi-tenant SaaS platform"
- "HIPAA-compliant patient portal"
- "Add SOC2 audit logging to enterprise app"
**AI Agent Support**: Elite - comprehensive enterprise planning
**Critical for Enterprise**:
- Security architecture and threat modeling
- DevOps pipeline planning
- Comprehensive test strategy
- Risk assessment
- Compliance mapping
---

| --------------- | ----------- | --------- | ------------ | ------------ | --------------- |
| **Quick Flow** | Optional | Tech-spec | None | None | 1-15 |
| **BMad Method** | Recommended | PRD + UX | Required | None | 10-50+ |
| **Enterprise** | Required | PRD + UX | Required | Required | 30+ |
**Note**: Story counts are GUIDANCE based on typical usage, NOT definitions of tracks.
---
## Brownfield Projects
### Critical First Step
For ALL brownfield projects: Run `document-project` BEFORE planning workflows.
### Why document-project is Critical
**Quick Flow** uses it for:
- Auto-detecting existing patterns
- Understanding codebase structure
- Confirming conventions
**BMad Method** uses it for:
- Architecture inputs (existing structure)
- Integration design
- Pattern consistency
**Enterprise Method** uses it for:
- Security analysis
- Integration architecture
- Risk assessment

## Best Practices
### 1. Document-Project First for Brownfield
Always run `document-project` before starting brownfield planning. AI agents need existing codebase context.
### 2. Trust the Recommendation
If `workflow-init` suggests BMad Method, there's probably complexity you haven't considered. Review carefully before overriding.
### 3. Start Smaller if Uncertain
Uncertain between Quick Flow and Method? Start with Quick Flow. You can create PRD later if needed.
### 4. Don't Skip Gate Checks
For BMad Method and Enterprise, gate checks prevent costly mistakes. Invest the time.
### 5. Architecture is Optional but Recommended for Brownfield
Brownfield BMad Method makes architecture optional, but it's highly recommended. It distills complex codebase into focused solution design.
### 6. Discovery Phase Based on Need
Brainstorming and research are offered regardless of track. Use them when you need to think through the problem space.
### 7. Product Brief for Greenfield Method
Product Brief is only offered for greenfield BMad Method and Enterprise. It's optional but helps with strategic thinking.
---
## Key Differences from Legacy System
### Old System (Levels 0-4)
- Arbitrary story count thresholds
- Level 2 vs Level 3 based on story count
- Confusing overlap zones (5-10 stories, 12-40 stories)
- Tech-spec and PRD shown as conflicting options
### New System (3 Tracks)
- Methodology-based distinction (not story counts)
- Story counts as guidance, not definitions
- Clear track purposes:
- Quick Flow = Implementation-focused
- BMad Method = Product + system design
- Enterprise = Extended with security/ops
- Mutually exclusive paths chosen upfront
- Educational decision-making
---
## Migration from Old System
If you have existing projects using the old level system:
- **Level 0-1** → Quick Flow
- **Level 2-3** → BMad Method
- **Level 4** → Enterprise Method
Run `workflow-init` on existing projects to migrate to new tracking system. It detects existing planning artifacts and creates appropriate workflow tracking.

# Test Architect (TEA) Agent Guide
## Overview
- **Persona:** Murat, Master Test Architect and Quality Advisor focused on risk-based testing, fixture architecture, ATDD, and CI/CD governance.
- **Mission:** Deliver actionable quality strategies, automation coverage, and gate decisions that scale with project complexity and compliance demands.
- **Use When:** BMad Method or Enterprise track projects, integration risk is non-trivial, brownfield regression risk exists, or compliance/NFR evidence is required. (Quick Flow projects typically don't require TEA)
## TEA Workflow Lifecycle
TEA integrates into the BMad development lifecycle during Solutioning (Phase 3) and Implementation (Phase 4):

**Phase Numbering Note:** BMad uses a 4-phase methodology with optional Phase 0/1:
- **Phase 0** (Optional): Documentation (brownfield prerequisite - `*document-project`)
- **Phase 1** (Optional): Discovery/Analysis (`*brainstorm`, `*research`, `*product-brief`)
- **Phase 2** (Required): Planning (`*prd` creates PRD + epics)
- **Phase 3** (Track-dependent): Solutioning (`*architecture` → TEA: `*framework`, `*ci``*solutioning-gate-check`)
- **Phase 4** (Required): Implementation (`*sprint-planning` → per-epic: `*test-design` → per-story: dev workflows)
**TEA workflows:** `*framework` and `*ci` run once in Phase 3 after architecture. `*test-design` runs per-epic in Phase 4. Output: `test-design-epic-N.md`.
Quick Flow track skips Phases 0, 1, and 3. BMad Method and Enterprise use all phases based on project needs.
### Why TEA is Different from Other BMM Agents
TEA is the only BMM agent that operates in **multiple phases** (Phase 3 and Phase 4) and has its own **knowledge base architecture**.
<details>
<summary><strong>Cross-Phase Operation & Unique Architecture</strong></summary>
### Phase-Specific Agents (Standard Pattern)
Most BMM agents work in a single phase:
- **Phase 1 (Analysis)**: Analyst agent
- **Phase 2 (Planning)**: PM agent
- **Phase 3 (Solutioning)**: Architect agent
- **Phase 4 (Implementation)**: SM, DEV agents
### TEA: Multi-Phase Quality Agent (Unique Pattern)
TEA is **the only agent that operates in multiple phases**:
```
Phase 1 (Analysis) → [TEA not typically used]
Phase 2 (Planning) → [PM defines requirements - TEA not active]
Phase 3 (Solutioning) → TEA: *framework, *ci (test infrastructure AFTER architecture)
Phase 4 (Implementation) → TEA: *test-design (per epic: "how do I test THIS feature?")
→ TEA: *atdd, *automate, *test-review, *trace (per story)
Epic/Release Gate → TEA: *nfr-assess, *trace Phase 2 (release decision)
```
### TEA's 8 Workflows Across Phases
**Standard agents**: 1-3 workflows per phase
**TEA**: 8 workflows across Phase 3, Phase 4, and Release Gate
| Phase | TEA Workflows | Frequency | Purpose |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Phase 2** | (none) | - | Planning phase - PM defines requirements |
| **Phase 3** | *framework, *ci | Once per project | Setup test infrastructure AFTER architecture |
| **Phase 4** | *test-design, *atdd, *automate, *test-review, \*trace | Per epic/story | Test planning per epic, then per-story testing |
| **Release** | *nfr-assess, *trace (Phase 2: gate) | Per epic/release | Go/no-go decision |
**Note**: `*trace` is a two-phase workflow: Phase 1 (traceability) + Phase 2 (gate decision). This reduces cognitive load while maintaining natural workflow.
### Unique Directory Architecture
TEA is the only BMM agent with its own top-level module directory (`bmm/testarch/`):
```
src/modules/bmm/
├── agents/
│ └── tea.agent.yaml # Agent definition (standard location)
├── workflows/
│ └── testarch/ # TEA workflows (standard location)
└── testarch/ # Knowledge base (UNIQUE!)
├── knowledge/ # 21 production-ready test pattern fragments
├── tea-index.csv # Centralized knowledge lookup (21 fragments indexed)
└── README.md # This guide
```
### Why TEA Gets Special Treatment
TEA uniquely requires:
- **Extensive domain knowledge**: 21 fragments, 12,821 lines covering test patterns, CI/CD, fixtures, quality practices, healing strategies
- **Centralized reference system**: `tea-index.csv` for on-demand fragment loading during workflow execution
- **Cross-cutting concerns**: Domain-specific testing patterns (vs project-specific artifacts like PRDs/stories)
- **Optional MCP integration**: Healing, exploratory, and verification modes for enhanced testing capabilities
This architecture enables TEA to maintain consistent, production-ready testing patterns across all BMad projects while operating across multiple development phases.

## High-Level Cheat Sheets
These cheat sheets map TEA workflows to the **BMad Method and Enterprise tracks** across the **4-Phase Methodology** (Phase 1: Analysis, Phase 2: Planning, Phase 3: Solutioning, Phase 4: Implementation).
**Note:** Quick Flow projects typically don't require TEA (covered in Overview). These cheat sheets focus on BMad Method and Enterprise tracks where TEA adds value.
**Legend for Track Deltas:**
- = New workflow or phase added (doesn't exist in baseline)
- 🔄 = Modified focus (same workflow, different emphasis or purpose)
- 📦 = Additional output or archival requirement
### Greenfield - BMad Method (Simple/Standard Work)
**Planning Track:** BMad Method (PRD + Architecture)
**Use Case:** New projects with standard complexity
| Workflow Stage | Test Architect | Dev / Team | Outputs |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Phase 1**: Discovery | - | Analyst `*product-brief` (optional) | `product-brief.md` |
| **Phase 2**: Planning | - | PM `*prd` (creates PRD + epics) | PRD, epics |
| **Phase 3**: Solutioning | Run `*framework`, `*ci` AFTER architecture | Architect `*architecture`, `*solutioning-gate-check` | Architecture, test scaffold, CI pipeline |
| **Phase 4**: Sprint Start | - | SM `*sprint-planning` | Sprint status file with all epics and stories |
| **Phase 4**: Epic Planning | Run `*test-design` for THIS epic (per-epic test plan) | Review epic scope | `test-design-epic-N.md` with risk assessment and test plan |
| **Phase 4**: Story Dev | (Optional) `*atdd` before dev, then `*automate` after | SM `*create-story`, DEV implements | Tests, story implementation |
| **Phase 4**: Story Review | Execute `*test-review` (optional), re-run `*trace` | Address recommendations, update code/tests | Quality report, refreshed coverage matrix |
| **Phase 4**: Release Gate | (Optional) `*test-review` for final audit, Run `*trace` (Phase 2) | Confirm Definition of Done, share release notes | Quality audit, Gate YAML + release summary |
<details>
<summary>Execution Notes</summary>
- Run `*framework` only once per repo or when modern harness support is missing.
- **Phase 3 (Solutioning)**: After architecture is complete, run `*framework` and `*ci` to setup test infrastructure based on architectural decisions.
- **Phase 4 starts**: After solutioning is complete, sprint planning loads all epics.
- **`*test-design` runs per-epic**: At the beginning of working on each epic, run `*test-design` to create a test plan for THAT specific epic/feature. Output: `test-design-epic-N.md`.
- Use `*atdd` before coding when the team can adopt ATDD; share its checklist with the dev agent.
- Post-implementation, keep `*trace` current, expand coverage with `*automate`, optionally review test quality with `*test-review`. For release gate, run `*trace` with Phase 2 enabled to get deployment decision.
- Use `*test-review` after `*atdd` to validate generated tests, after `*automate` to ensure regression quality, or before gate for final audit.

# Decision Architecture Workflow - Technical Reference
**Module:** BMM (BMAD Method Module)
**Type:** Solutioning Workflow
---
## Overview
The Decision Architecture workflow is a complete reimagining of how architectural decisions are made in the BMAD Method. Instead of template-driven documentation, this workflow facilitates an intelligent conversation that produces a **decision-focused architecture document** optimized for preventing AI agent conflicts during implementation.
---
## Core Philosophy
**The Problem**: When multiple AI agents implement different parts of a system, they make conflicting technical decisions leading to incompatible implementations.
**The Solution**: A "consistency contract" that documents all critical technical decisions upfront, ensuring every agent follows the same patterns and uses the same technologies.
---
## Key Features
### 1. Starter Template Intelligence ⭐ NEW
- Discovers relevant starter templates (create-next-app, create-t3-app, etc.)
- Considers UX requirements when selecting templates (animations, accessibility, etc.)
- Searches for current CLI options and defaults
- Documents decisions made BY the starter template
- Makes remaining architectural decisions around the starter foundation
- First implementation story becomes "initialize with starter command"
### 2. Adaptive Facilitation
- Adjusts conversation style based on user skill level (beginner/intermediate/expert)
- Experts get rapid, technical discussions
- Beginners receive education and protection from complexity
- Everyone produces the same high-quality output
### 3. Dynamic Version Verification
- NEVER trusts hardcoded version numbers
- Uses WebSearch to find current stable versions
- Verifies versions during the conversation
- Documents only verified, current versions
### 4. Intelligent Discovery
- No rigid project type templates
- Analyzes PRD to identify which decisions matter for THIS project
- Uses knowledge base of decisions and patterns
- Scales to infinite project types
### 5. Collaborative Decision Making
- Facilitates discussion for each critical decision
- Presents options with trade-offs
- Integrates advanced elicitation for innovative approaches
- Ensures decisions are coherent and compatible
### 6. Consistent Output
- Structured decision collection during conversation
- Strict document generation from collected decisions
- Validated against hard requirements
- Optimized for AI agent consumption
---
## Workflow Structure
```
Step 0: Validate workflow and extract project configuration
Step 0.5: Validate workflow sequencing
Step 1: Load PRD and understand project context
Step 2: Discover and evaluate starter templates ⭐ NEW
Step 3: Adapt facilitation style and identify remaining decisions
Step 4: Facilitate collaborative decision making (with version verification)
Step 5: Address cross-cutting concerns
Step 6: Define project structure and boundaries
Step 7: Design novel architectural patterns (when needed) ⭐ NEW
Step 8: Define implementation patterns to prevent agent conflicts
Step 9: Validate architectural coherence
Step 10: Generate decision architecture document (with initialization commands)
Step 11: Validate document completeness
Step 12: Final review and update workflow status
```
---
## Files in This Workflow
- **workflow.yaml** - Configuration and metadata
- **instructions.md** - The adaptive facilitation flow
- **decision-catalog.yaml** - Knowledge base of all architectural decisions
- **architecture-patterns.yaml** - Common patterns identified from requirements
- **pattern-categories.csv** - Pattern principles that teach LLM what needs defining
- **checklist.md** - Validation requirements for the output document
- **architecture-template.md** - Strict format for the final document
---
## How It's Different from Old architecture
| Aspect | Old Workflow | New Workflow |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Approach** | Template-driven | Conversation-driven |
| **Project Types** | 11 rigid types with 22+ files | Infinite flexibility with intelligent discovery |
| **User Interaction** | Output sections with "Continue?" | Collaborative decision facilitation |
| **Skill Adaptation** | One-size-fits-all | Adapts to beginner/intermediate/expert |
| **Decision Making** | Late in process (Step 5) | Upfront and central focus |
| **Output** | Multiple documents including faux tech-specs | Single decision-focused architecture |
| **Time** | Confusing and slow | 30-90 minutes depending on skill level |
| **Elicitation** | Never used | Integrated at decision points |
---
## Expected Inputs
- **PRD** (Product Requirements Document) with:
- Functional Requirements
- Non-Functional Requirements
- Performance and compliance needs
- **Epics** file with:
- User stories
- Acceptance criteria
- Dependencies
- **UX Spec** (Optional but valuable) with:
- Interface designs and interaction patterns
- Accessibility requirements (WCAG levels)
- Animation and transition needs
- Platform-specific UI requirements
- Performance expectations for interactions
---
## Output Document
A single `architecture.md` file containing:
- Executive summary (2-3 sentences)
- Project initialization command (if using starter template)
- Decision summary table with verified versions and epic mapping
- Complete project structure
- Integration specifications
- Consistency rules for AI agents
---
## How Novel Pattern Design Works
Step 7 handles unique or complex patterns that need to be INVENTED:
### 1. Detection
The workflow analyzes the PRD for concepts that don't have standard solutions:
- Novel interaction patterns (e.g., "swipe to match" when Tinder doesn't exist)
- Complex multi-epic workflows (e.g., "viral invitation system")
- Unique data relationships (e.g., "social graph" before Facebook)
- New paradigms (e.g., "ephemeral messages" before Snapchat)
### 2. Design Collaboration
Instead of just picking technologies, the workflow helps DESIGN the solution:
- Identifies the core problem to solve
- Explores different approaches with the user
- Documents how components interact
- Creates sequence diagrams for complex flows
- Uses elicitation to find innovative solutions
### 3. Documentation
Novel patterns become part of the architecture with:
- Pattern name and purpose
- Component interactions
- Data flow diagrams
- Which epics/stories are affected
- Implementation guidance for agents
### 4. Example
```
PRD: "Users can create 'circles' of friends with overlapping membership"
Workflow detects: This is a novel social structure pattern
Designs with user: Circle membership model, permission cascading, UI patterns
Documents: "Circle Pattern" with component design and data flow
All agents understand how to implement circle-related features consistently
```
---
## How Implementation Patterns Work
Step 8 prevents agent conflicts by defining patterns for consistency:
### 1. The Core Principle
> "Any time multiple agents might make the SAME decision DIFFERENTLY, that's a pattern to capture"
The LLM asks: "What could an agent encounter where they'd have to guess?"
### 2. Pattern Categories (principles, not prescriptions)
- **Naming**: How things are named (APIs, database fields, files)
- **Structure**: How things are organized (folders, modules, layers)
- **Format**: How data is formatted (JSON structures, responses)
- **Communication**: How components talk (events, messages, protocols)
- **Lifecycle**: How states change (workflows, transitions)
- **Location**: Where things go (URLs, paths, storage)
- **Consistency**: Cross-cutting concerns (dates, errors, logs)
### 3. LLM Intelligence
- Uses the principle to identify patterns beyond the 7 categories
- Figures out what specific patterns matter for chosen tech
- Only asks about patterns that could cause conflicts
- Skips obvious patterns that the tech choice determines
### 4. Example
```
Tech chosen: REST API + PostgreSQL + React
LLM identifies needs:
- REST: URL structure, response format, status codes
- PostgreSQL: table naming, column naming, FK patterns
- React: component structure, state management, test location
Facilitates each with user
Documents as Implementation Patterns in architecture
```
---
## How Starter Templates Work
When the workflow detects a project type that has a starter template:
1. **Discovery**: Searches for relevant starter templates based on PRD
2. **Investigation**: Looks up current CLI options and defaults
3. **Presentation**: Shows user what the starter provides
4. **Integration**: Documents starter decisions as "PROVIDED BY STARTER"
5. **Continuation**: Only asks about decisions NOT made by starter
6. **Documentation**: Includes exact initialization command in architecture
### Example Flow
```
PRD says: "Next.js web application with authentication"
Workflow finds: create-next-app and create-t3-app
User chooses: create-t3-app (includes auth setup)
Starter provides: Next.js, TypeScript, tRPC, Prisma, NextAuth, Tailwind
Workflow only asks about: Database choice, deployment target, additional services
First story becomes: "npx create t3-app@latest my-app --trpc --nextauth --prisma"
```
---
## Usage
```bash
# In your BMAD-enabled project
workflow architecture
```
The AI agent will:
1. Load your PRD and epics
2. Identify critical decisions needed
3. Facilitate discussion on each decision
4. Generate a comprehensive architecture document
5. Validate completeness
---
## Design Principles
1. **Facilitation over Prescription** - Guide users to good decisions rather than imposing templates
2. **Intelligence over Templates** - Use AI understanding rather than rigid structures
3. **Decisions over Details** - Focus on what prevents agent conflicts, not implementation minutiae
4. **Adaptation over Uniformity** - Meet users where they are while ensuring quality output
5. **Collaboration over Output** - The conversation matters as much as the document
---
## For Developers
This workflow assumes:
- Single developer + AI agents (not teams)
- Speed matters (decisions in minutes, not days)
- AI agents need clear constraints to prevent conflicts
- The architecture document is for agents, not humans
---
## Migration from architecture
Projects using the old `architecture` workflow should:
1. Complete any in-progress architecture work
2. Use `architecture` for new projects
3. The old workflow remains available but is deprecated

## How to Invoke
```bash
workflow document-project
```
Or from BMAD CLI:
```bash
/bmad:bmm:workflows:document-project
```
---
## Scan Levels (NEW in v1.2.0)
Choose the right scan depth for your needs:
### 1. Quick Scan (Default)
**Duration:** 2-5 minutes
**What it does:** Pattern-based analysis without reading source files
**Reads:** Config files, package manifests, directory structure, README
**Use when:**
- You need a fast project overview
- Initial understanding of project structure
- Planning next steps before deeper analysis
**Does NOT read:** Source code files (_.js, _.ts, _.py, _.go, etc.)
### 2. Deep Scan
**Duration:** 10-30 minutes
**What it does:** Reads files in critical directories based on project type
**Reads:** Files in critical paths defined by documentation requirements
**Use when:**
- Creating comprehensive documentation for brownfield PRD
- Need detailed analysis of key areas
- Want balance between depth and speed
**Example:** For a web app, reads controllers/, models/, components/, but not every utility file
### 3. Exhaustive Scan
**Duration:** 30-120 minutes
**What it does:** Reads ALL source files in project
**Reads:** Every source file (excludes node_modules, dist, build, .git)
**Use when:**
- Complete project analysis needed
- Migration planning requires full understanding
- Detailed audit of entire codebase
- Deep technical debt assessment
**Note:** Deep-dive mode ALWAYS uses exhaustive scan (no choice)
---
## Resumability (NEW in v1.2.0)
The workflow can be interrupted and resumed without losing progress:
- **State Tracking:** Progress saved in `project-scan-report.json`
- **Auto-Detection:** Workflow detects incomplete runs (<24 hours old)
- **Resume Prompt:** Choose to resume or start fresh
- **Step-by-Step:** Resume from exact step where interrupted
- **Archiving:** Old state files automatically archived
**Example Resume Flow:**
```
> workflow document-project
I found an in-progress workflow state from 2025-10-11 14:32:15.
Current Progress:
- Mode: initial_scan
- Scan Level: deep
- Completed Steps: 5/12
- Last Step: step_5
Would you like to:
1. Resume from where we left off - Continue from step 6
2. Start fresh - Archive old state and begin new scan
3. Cancel - Exit without changes
Your choice [1/2/3]:
```
---
## What It Does
### Step-by-Step Process
1. **Detects Project Structure** - Identifies if project is single-part or multi-part (client/server/etc.)
2. **Classifies Project Type** - Matches against 12 project types (web, backend, mobile, etc.)
3. **Discovers Documentation** - Finds existing README, CONTRIBUTING, ARCHITECTURE files
4. **Analyzes Tech Stack** - Parses package files, identifies frameworks, versions, dependencies
5. **Conditional Scanning** - Performs targeted analysis based on project type requirements:
- API routes and endpoints
- Database models and schemas
- State management patterns
- UI component libraries
- Configuration and security
- CI/CD and deployment configs
6. **Generates Source Tree** - Creates annotated directory structure with critical paths
7. **Extracts Dev Instructions** - Documents setup, build, run, and test commands
8. **Creates Architecture Docs** - Generates detailed architecture using matched templates
9. **Builds Master Index** - Creates comprehensive index.md as primary AI retrieval source
10. **Validates Output** - Runs 140+ point checklist to ensure completeness
### Output Files
**Single-Part Projects:**
- `index.md` - Master index
- `project-overview.md` - Executive summary
- `architecture.md` - Detailed architecture
- `source-tree-analysis.md` - Annotated directory tree

---
## Data Files
The workflow uses a single comprehensive CSV file:
**documentation-requirements.csv** - Complete project analysis guide
- Location: `/.bmad/bmm/workflows/document-project/documentation-requirements.csv`
- 12 project types (web, mobile, backend, cli, library, desktop, game, data, extension, infra, embedded)
- 24 columns combining:
- **Detection columns**: `project_type_id`, `key_file_patterns` (identifies project type from codebase)
- **Requirement columns**: `requires_api_scan`, `requires_data_models`, `requires_ui_components`, etc.
- **Pattern columns**: `critical_directories`, `test_file_patterns`, `config_patterns`, etc.
- Self-contained: All project detection AND scanning requirements in one file
- Architecture patterns inferred from tech stack (no external registry needed)
---
## Use Cases
### Primary Use Case: Brownfield PRD Creation
After running this workflow, use the generated `index.md` as input to brownfield PRD workflows:
```
User: "I want to add a new dashboard feature"
PRD Workflow: Loads docs/index.md
→ Understands existing architecture
→ Identifies reusable components
→ Plans integration with existing APIs
→ Creates contextual PRD with epics and stories
```
### Other Use Cases
- **Onboarding New Developers** - Comprehensive project documentation
- **Architecture Review** - Structured analysis of existing system
- **Technical Debt Assessment** - Identify patterns and anti-patterns
- **Migration Planning** - Understand current state before refactoring
---
## Requirements
### Recommended Inputs (Optional)
- Project root directory (defaults to current directory)
- README.md or similar docs (auto-discovered if present)
- User guidance on key areas to focus (workflow will ask)
### Tools Used
- File system scanning (Glob, Read, Grep)
- Code analysis
- Git repository analysis (optional)
---
## Configuration
### Default Output Location
Files are saved to: `{output_folder}` (from config.yaml)
Default: `/docs/` folder in project root
### Customization
- Modify `documentation-requirements.csv` to adjust scanning patterns for project types
- Add new project types to `project-types.csv`
- Add new architecture templates to `registry.csv`
---
## Example: Multi-Part Web App

---
## Deep-Dive Mode
### What is Deep-Dive Mode?
When you run the workflow on a project that already has documentation, you'll be offered a choice:
1. **Rescan entire project** - Update all documentation with latest changes
2. **Deep-dive into specific area** - Generate EXHAUSTIVE documentation for a particular feature/module/folder
3. **Cancel** - Keep existing documentation
Deep-dive mode performs **comprehensive, file-by-file analysis** of a specific area, reading EVERY file completely and documenting:
- All exports with complete signatures
- All imports and dependencies
- Dependency graphs and data flow
- Code patterns and implementations
- Testing coverage and strategies
- Integration points
- Reuse opportunities
### When to Use Deep-Dive Mode
- **Before implementing a feature** - Deep-dive the area you'll be modifying
- **During architecture review** - Deep-dive complex modules
- **For code understanding** - Deep-dive unfamiliar parts of codebase
- **When creating PRDs** - Deep-dive areas affected by new features
### Deep-Dive Process
1. Workflow detects existing `index.md`
2. Offers deep-dive option
3. Suggests areas based on project structure:
- API route groups
- Feature modules
- UI component areas
- Services/business logic
4. You select area or specify custom path
5. Workflow reads EVERY file in that area
6. Generates `deep-dive-{area-name}.md` with complete analysis
7. Updates `index.md` with link to deep-dive doc
8. Offers to deep-dive another area or finish
### Deep-Dive Output Example
**docs/deep-dive-dashboard-feature.md:**
- Complete file inventory (47 files analyzed)
- Every export with signatures
- Dependency graph
- Data flow analysis
- Integration points
- Testing coverage
- Related code references
- Implementation guidance
- ~3,000 LOC documented in detail
### Incremental Deep-Diving
You can deep-dive multiple areas over time:
- First run: Scan entire project → generates index.md
- Second run: Deep-dive dashboard feature
- Third run: Deep-dive API layer
- Fourth run: Deep-dive authentication system
All deep-dive docs are linked from the master index.
---
## Validation
The workflow includes a comprehensive 160+ point checklist covering:
- Project detection accuracy
- Technology stack completeness
- Codebase scanning thoroughness
- Architecture documentation quality
- Multi-part handling (if applicable)
- Brownfield PRD readiness
- Deep-dive completeness (if applicable)
---
## Next Steps After Completion
1. **Review** `docs/index.md` - Your master documentation index
2. **Validate** - Check generated docs for accuracy
3. **Use for PRD** - Point brownfield PRD workflow to index.md
4. **Maintain** - Re-run workflow when architecture changes significantly
---
## File Structure
```
document-project/
├── workflow.yaml # Workflow configuration
├── instructions.md # Step-by-step workflow logic
├── checklist.md # Validation criteria
├── documentation-requirements.csv # Project type scanning patterns
├── templates/ # Output templates
│ ├── index-template.md
│ ├── project-overview-template.md
│ └── source-tree-template.md
└── README.md # This file
```
---
## Troubleshooting
**Issue: Project type not detected correctly**
- Solution: Workflow will ask for confirmation; manually select correct type
**Issue: Missing critical information**
- Solution: Provide additional context when prompted; re-run specific analysis steps
**Issue: Multi-part detection missed a part**
- Solution: When asked to confirm parts, specify the missing part and its path
**Issue: Architecture template doesn't match well**
- Solution: Check registry.csv; may need to add new template or adjust matching criteria
---
## Architecture Improvements in v1.2.0
### Context-Safe Design
The workflow now uses a write-as-you-go architecture:
- Documents written immediately to disk (not accumulated in memory)
- Detailed findings purged after writing (only summaries kept)
- State tracking enables resumption from any step
- Batching strategy prevents context exhaustion on large projects
### Batching Strategy
For deep/exhaustive scans:
- Process ONE subfolder at a time
- Read files → Extract info → Write output → Validate → Purge context
- Primary concern is file SIZE (not count)
- Track batches in state file for resumability
### State File Format
Optimized JSON (no pretty-printing):
```json
{
"workflow_version": "1.2.0",
"timestamps": {...},
"mode": "initial_scan",
"scan_level": "deep",
"completed_steps": [...],
"current_step": "step_6",
"findings": {"summary": "only"},
"outputs_generated": [...],
"resume_instructions": "..."
}
```

# BMM Analysis Workflows (Phase 1)
**Reading Time:** ~7 minutes
## Overview
Phase 1 (Analysis) workflows are **optional** exploration and discovery tools that help validate ideas, understand markets, and generate strategic context before planning begins.
**Key principle:** Analysis workflows help you think strategically before committing to implementation. Skip them if your requirements are already clear.
**When to use:** Starting new projects, exploring opportunities, validating market fit, generating ideas, understanding problem spaces.
**When to skip:** Continuing existing projects with clear requirements, well-defined features with known solutions, strict constraints where discovery is complete.

```
### Starting a Game Project
```
brainstorm-game (if generating concepts) → research (market/competitive) → game-brief → Phase 2 (gdd)
```
### Validating an Idea
```
research (market type) → product-brief or game-brief → Phase 2
```
### Technical Decision Only
```
research (technical type) → Use findings in Phase 3 (architecture)
```
### Understanding Market
```
research (market/competitive type) → product-brief → Phase 2
```
---
## Integration with Phase 2 (Planning)
Analysis outputs feed directly into Planning:
| Analysis Output | Planning Input |
| --------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| product-brief.md | **prd** workflow |
| game-brief.md | **gdd** workflow |
| market-research.md | **prd** context |
| technical-research.md | **architecture** (Phase 3) |
| competitive-intelligence.md | **prd** positioning |
Planning workflows automatically load these documents if they exist in the output folder.
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Don't Over-Invest in Analysis
Analysis is optional. If requirements are clear, skip to Phase 2 (Planning).
### 2. Iterate Between Workflows
Common pattern: brainstorm → research (validate) → brief (synthesize)
### 3. Document Assumptions
Analysis surfaces and validates assumptions. Document them explicitly for planning to challenge.
### 4. Keep It Strategic
Focus on "what" and "why", not "how". Leave implementation for Planning and Solutioning.
### 5. Involve Stakeholders
Use analysis workflows to align stakeholders before committing to detailed planning.
---
## Common Patterns
### Greenfield Software (Full Analysis)
```
1. brainstorm-project - explore approaches
2. research (market) - validate viability
3. product-brief - capture strategic vision
4. → Phase 2: prd
```
### Greenfield Game (Full Analysis)
```
1. brainstorm-game - generate concepts
2. research (competitive) - understand landscape
3. game-brief - capture vision
4. → Phase 2: gdd
```
### Skip Analysis (Clear Requirements)
```
→ Phase 2: prd or tech-spec directly
```
### Technical Research Only
```
1. research (technical) - evaluate technologies
2. → Phase 3: architecture (use findings in ADRs)
```

## Troubleshooting
**Q: Do I need to run all analysis workflows?**
A: No! Analysis is entirely optional. Use only workflows that help you think through your problem.
**Q: Which workflow should I start with?**
A: If unsure, start with `research` (market type) to validate viability, then move to `product-brief` or `game-brief`.
**Q: Can I skip straight to Planning?**
A: Yes! If you know what you're building and why, skip Phase 1 entirely and start with Phase 2 (prd/gdd/tech-spec).
**Q: How long should Analysis take?**
A: Typically hours to 1-2 days. If taking longer, you may be over-analyzing. Move to Planning.
**Q: What if I discover problems during Analysis?**
A: That's the point! Analysis helps you fail fast and pivot before heavy planning investment.
**Q: Should brownfield projects do Analysis?**
A: Usually no. Start with `document-project` (Phase 0), then skip to Planning (Phase 2).

# BMM Implementation Workflows (Phase 4)
**Reading Time:** ~8 minutes
## Overview
Phase 4 (Implementation) workflows manage the iterative sprint-based development cycle using a **story-centric workflow** where each story moves through a defined lifecycle from creation to completion.
**Key principle:** One story at a time, move it through the entire lifecycle before starting the next.

---
## Agent Roles
### SM (Scrum Master) - Primary Implementation Orchestrator
**Workflows:** sprint-planning, epic-tech-context, validate-epic-tech-context, create-story, validate-create-story, story-context, validate-story-context, story-ready-for-dev, epic-retrospective, correct-course
**Responsibilities:**
- Initialize and maintain sprint tracking
- Generate technical context (epic and story level)
- Orchestrate story lifecycle with optional validations
- Mark stories ready for development
- Handle course corrections
- Facilitate retrospectives
### DEV (Developer) - Implementation and Quality
**Workflows:** develop-story, code-review, story-done
**Responsibilities:**
- Implement stories with tests
- Perform senior developer code reviews
- Mark stories complete and advance queue
- Ensure quality and adherence to standards
---
## Story Lifecycle States
Stories move through these states in the sprint status file:
1. **TODO** - Story identified but not started
2. **IN PROGRESS** - Story being implemented (create-story → story-context → dev-story)
3. **READY FOR REVIEW** - Implementation complete, awaiting code review
4. **DONE** - Accepted and complete
---
## Typical Sprint Flow
### Sprint 0 (Planning Phase)
- Complete Phases 1-3 (Analysis, Planning, Solutioning)
- PRD/GDD + Architecture + Epics ready
### Sprint 1+ (Implementation Phase)
**Start of Phase 4:**
1. SM runs `sprint-planning` (once)
**Per Epic:**
1. SM runs `epic-tech-context`
2. SM optionally runs `validate-epic-tech-context`
**Per Story (repeat until epic complete):**
1. SM runs `create-story`
2. SM optionally runs `validate-create-story`
3. SM runs `story-context` OR `story-ready-for-dev` (choose one)
4. SM optionally runs `validate-story-context` (if story-context was used)
5. DEV runs `develop-story`
6. DEV runs `code-review`
7. If code review passes: DEV runs `story-done`
8. If code review finds issues: DEV fixes in `develop-story`, then back to code-review
**After Epic Complete:**
- SM runs `epic-retrospective`
- Move to next epic (start with `epic-tech-context` again)
**As Needed:**
- Run `workflow-status` anytime to check progress
- Run `correct-course` if significant changes needed
---
## Key Principles
### One Story at a Time
Complete each story's full lifecycle before starting the next. This prevents context switching and ensures quality.
### Epic-Level Technical Context
Generate detailed technical guidance per epic (not per story) using `epic-tech-context`. This provides just-in-time architecture without upfront over-planning.
### Story Context (Optional)
Use `story-context` to assemble focused context XML for each story, pulling from PRD, architecture, epic context, and codebase docs. Alternatively, use `story-ready-for-dev` to mark a story ready without generating context XML.
### Quality Gates
Every story goes through `code-review` before being marked done. No exceptions.
### Continuous Tracking
The `sprint-status.yaml` file is the single source of truth for all implementation progress.
---
## Common Patterns
### Level 0-1 (Quick Flow)
```
tech-spec (PM)
→ sprint-planning (SM)
→ story loop (SM/DEV)
```
### Level 2-4 (BMad Method / Enterprise)
```
PRD + Architecture (PM/Architect)
→ solutioning-gate-check (Architect)
→ sprint-planning (SM, once)
→ [Per Epic]:
epic-tech-context (SM)
→ story loop (SM/DEV)
→ epic-retrospective (SM)
→ [Next Epic]
```

---
## Troubleshooting
**Q: Which workflow should I run next?**
A: Run `workflow-status` - it reads the sprint status file and tells you exactly what to do.
**Q: Story needs significant changes mid-implementation?**
A: Run `correct-course` to analyze impact and route appropriately.
**Q: Do I run epic-tech-context for every story?**
A: No! Run once per epic, not per story. Use `story-context` or `story-ready-for-dev` per story instead.
**Q: Do I have to use story-context for every story?**
A: No, it's optional. You can use `story-ready-for-dev` to mark a story ready without generating context XML.
**Q: Can I work on multiple stories in parallel?**
A: Not recommended. Complete one story's full lifecycle before starting the next. Prevents context switching and ensures quality.
**Q: What if code review finds issues?**
A: DEV runs `develop-story` to make fixes, re-runs tests, then runs `code-review` again until it passes.
**Q: When do I run validations?**
A: Validations are optional quality gates. Use them when you want independent review of epic tech specs, story drafts, or story context before proceeding.

# BMM Planning Workflows (Phase 2)
**Reading Time:** ~10 minutes
## Overview
Phase 2 (Planning) workflows are **required** for all projects. They transform strategic vision into actionable requirements using a **scale-adaptive system** that automatically selects the right planning depth based on project complexity.
**Key principle:** One unified entry point (`workflow-init`) intelligently routes to the appropriate planning methodology - from quick tech-specs to comprehensive PRDs.
**When to use:** All projects require planning. The system adapts depth automatically based on complexity.

**Note:** Story counts are guidance based on typical usage, not strict definitions.
---
## Scale-Adaptive Planning System
BMM uses three distinct planning tracks that adapt to project complexity:
### Track 1: Quick Flow
**Best For:** Bug fixes, simple features, clear scope, enhancements
**Planning:** Tech-spec only → Implementation
**Time:** Hours to 1 day
**Story Count:** Typically 1-15 (guidance)
**Documents:** tech-spec.md + story files
**Example:** "Fix authentication bug", "Add OAuth social login"
---
### Track 2: BMad Method (RECOMMENDED)
**Best For:** Products, platforms, complex features, multiple epics
**Planning:** PRD + Architecture → Implementation
**Time:** 1-3 days
**Story Count:** Typically 10-50+ (guidance)
**Documents:** PRD.md (or GDD.md) + architecture.md + epic files + story files
**Greenfield:** Product Brief (optional) → PRD → UX (optional) → Architecture → Implementation
**Brownfield:** document-project → PRD → Architecture (recommended) → Implementation
**Example:** "Customer dashboard", "E-commerce platform", "Add search to existing app"
**Why Architecture for Brownfield?** Distills massive codebase context into focused solution design for your specific project.
---
### Track 3: Enterprise Method
**Best For:** Enterprise requirements, multi-tenant, compliance, security-sensitive
**Planning (Phase 2):** Uses BMad Method planning (PRD + Epic+Stories)
**Solutioning (Phase 3):** Extended workflows (Architecture + Security + DevOps + SecOps as optional additions)
**Time:** 3-7 days total (1-3 days planning + 2-4 days extended solutioning)
**Story Count:** Typically 30+ (but defined by enterprise needs)
**Documents Phase 2:** PRD.md + epics + epic files + story files
**Documents Phase 3:** architecture.md + security-architecture.md (optional) + devops-strategy.md (optional) + secops-strategy.md (optional)
**Example:** "Multi-tenant SaaS", "HIPAA-compliant portal", "Add SOC2 audit logging"
---
## How Track Selection Works
`workflow-init` guides you through educational choice:
1. **Description Analysis** - Analyzes project description for complexity
2. **Educational Presentation** - Shows all three tracks with trade-offs
3. **Recommendation** - Suggests track based on keywords and context
4. **User Choice** - You select the track that fits
The system guides but never forces. You can override recommendations.
---
## Workflow Descriptions
### workflow-init (Entry Point)
**Purpose:** Single unified entry point for all planning. Discovers project needs and intelligently routes to appropriate track.
**Agent:** PM (orchestrates others as needed)
**Always Use:** This is your planning starting point. Don't call prd/gdd/tech-spec directly unless skipping discovery.
**Process:**
1. Discovery (understand context, assess complexity, identify concerns)
2. Routing Decision (determine track, explain rationale, confirm)
3. Execute Target Workflow (invoke planning workflow, pass context)
4. Handoff (document decisions, recommend next phase)
---
### tech-spec (Quick Flow)
**Purpose:** Lightweight technical specification for simple changes (Quick Flow track). Produces technical document and story or epic+stories structure.
**Agent:** PM
**When to Use:**
- Bug fixes
- Single API endpoint additions
- Configuration changes
- Small UI component additions
- Isolated validation rules
**Key Outputs:**
- **tech-spec.md** - Technical document containing:
- Problem statement and solution
- Source tree changes
- Implementation details
- Testing strategy
- Acceptance criteria
- **Story file(s)** - Single story OR epic+stories structure (1-15 stories typically)
**Skip To Phase:** 4 (Implementation) - no Phase 3 architecture needed
**Example:** "Fix null pointer when user has no profile image" → Single file change, null check, unit test, no DB migration.
---
### prd (Product Requirements Document)
**Purpose:** Strategic PRD with epic breakdown for software products (BMad Method track).
**Agent:** PM (with Architect and Analyst support)
**When to Use:**
- Medium to large feature sets
- Multi-screen user experiences
- Complex business logic
- Multiple system integrations
- Phased delivery required
**Scale-Adaptive Structure:**
- **Light:** Single epic, 5-10 stories, simplified analysis (10-15 pages)
- **Standard:** 2-4 epics, 15-30 stories, comprehensive analysis (20-30 pages)
- **Comprehensive:** 5+ epics, 30-50+ stories, multi-phase, extensive stakeholder analysis (30-50+ pages)
**Key Outputs:**
- PRD.md (complete requirements)
- epics.md (epic breakdown)
- Epic files (epic-1-_.md, epic-2-_.md, etc.)
**Integration:** Feeds into Architecture (Phase 3)
**Example:** E-commerce checkout → 3 epics (Guest Checkout, Payment Processing, Order Management), 21 stories, 4-6 week delivery.
---
### gdd (Game Design Document)
**Purpose:** Complete game design document for game projects (BMad Method track).
**Agent:** Game Designer
**When to Use:**
- Designing any game (any genre)
- Need comprehensive design documentation
- Team needs shared vision
- Publisher/stakeholder communication
**BMM GDD vs Traditional:**
- Scale-adaptive detail (not waterfall)
- Agile epic structure
- Direct handoff to implementation
- Integrated with testing workflows
**Key Outputs:**
- GDD.md (complete game design)
- Epic breakdown (Core Loop, Content, Progression, Polish)
**Integration:** Feeds into Architecture (Phase 3)
**Example:** Roguelike card game → Core concept (Slay the Spire meets Hades), 3 characters, 120 cards, 50 enemies, Epic breakdown with 26 stories.
---
### narrative (Narrative Design)
**Purpose:** Story-driven design workflow for games/experiences where narrative is central (BMad Method track).
**Agent:** Game Designer (Narrative Designer persona) + Creative Problem Solver (CIS)
**When to Use:**
- Story is central to experience
- Branching narrative with player choices
- Character-driven games
- Visual novels, adventure games, RPGs
**Combine with GDD:**
1. Run `narrative` first (story structure)
2. Then run `gdd` (integrate story with gameplay)
**Key Outputs:**
- narrative-design.md (complete narrative spec)
- Story structure (acts, beats, branching)
- Characters (profiles, arcs, relationships)
- Dialogue system design
- Implementation guide
**Integration:** Combine with GDD, then feeds into Architecture (Phase 3)
**Example:** Choice-driven RPG → 3 acts, 12 chapters, 5 choice points, 3 endings, 60K words, 40 narrative scenes.
---
### ux (UX-First Design)
**Purpose:** UX specification for projects where user experience is the primary differentiator (BMad Method track).
**Agent:** UX Designer
**When to Use:**
- UX is primary competitive advantage
- Complex user workflows needing design thinking
- Innovative interaction patterns
- Design system creation
- Accessibility-critical experiences
**Collaborative Approach:**
1. Visual exploration (generate multiple options)
2. Informed decisions (evaluate with user needs)
3. Collaborative design (refine iteratively)
4. Living documentation (evolves with project)
**Key Outputs:**
- ux-spec.md (complete UX specification)
- User journeys
- Wireframes and mockups
- Interaction specifications
- Design system (components, patterns, tokens)
- Epic breakdown (UX stories)
**Integration:** Feeds PRD or updates epics, then Architecture (Phase 3)
**Example:** Dashboard redesign → Card-based layout with split-pane toggle, 5 card components, 12 color tokens, responsive grid, 3 epics (Layout, Visualization, Accessibility).
---
### create-epics-and-stories
**Purpose:** Break PRD/GDD requirements into bite-sized stories organized in epics (BMad Method track).
**Agent:** PM
**When to Use:**
- After PRD/GDD complete (often run automatically)
- Can also run standalone later to re-generate epics/stories
- When planning story breakdown outside main PRD workflow
**Key Outputs:**
- epics.md (all epics with story breakdown)
- Epic files (epic-1-\*.md, etc.)
**Note:** PRD workflow often creates epics automatically. This workflow can be run standalone if needed later.
---
### correct-course
**Purpose:** Handle significant requirement changes during implementation (all tracks).
**Agent:** PM, Architect, or SM
**When to Use:**
- Priorities change mid-project
- New requirements emerge
- Scope adjustments needed
- Technical blockers require replanning
**Process:**
1. Analyze impact of change
2. Propose solutions (continue, pivot, pause)
3. Update affected documents (PRD, epics, stories)
4. Re-route for implementation
**Integration:** Updates planning artifacts, may trigger architecture review
---
## Decision Guide
### Which Planning Workflow?
**Use `workflow-init` (Recommended):** Let the system discover needs and route appropriately.
**Direct Selection (Advanced):**
- **Bug fix or single change**`tech-spec` (Quick Flow)
- **Software product**`prd` (BMad Method)
- **Game (gameplay-first)**`gdd` (BMad Method)
- **Game (story-first)**`narrative` + `gdd` (BMad Method)
- **UX innovation project**`ux` + `prd` (BMad Method)
- **Enterprise with compliance** → Choose track in `workflow-init` → Enterprise Method
---
## Integration with Phase 3 (Solutioning)
Planning outputs feed into Solutioning:
| Planning Output | Solutioning Input | Track Decision |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------- |
| tech-spec.md | Skip Phase 3 → Phase 4 directly | Quick Flow (no architecture) |
| PRD.md | **architecture** (Level 3-4) | BMad Method (recommended) |
| GDD.md | **architecture** (game tech) | BMad Method (recommended) |
| narrative-design.md | **architecture** (narrative systems) | BMad Method |
| ux-spec.md | **architecture** (frontend design) | BMad Method |
| Enterprise docs | **architecture** + security/ops | Enterprise Method (required) |
**Key Decision Points:**
- **Quick Flow:** Skip Phase 3 entirely → Phase 4 (Implementation)
- **BMad Method:** Optional Phase 3 (simple), Required Phase 3 (complex)
- **Enterprise:** Required Phase 3 (architecture + extended planning)
See: [workflows-solutioning.md](./workflows-solutioning.md)
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Always Start with workflow-init
Let the entry point guide you. It prevents over-planning simple features or under-planning complex initiatives.
### 2. Trust the Recommendation
If `workflow-init` suggests BMad Method, there's likely complexity you haven't considered. Review carefully before overriding.
### 3. Iterate on Requirements
Planning documents are living. Refine PRDs/GDDs as you learn during Solutioning and Implementation.
### 4. Involve Stakeholders Early
Review PRDs/GDDs with stakeholders before Solutioning. Catch misalignment early.
### 5. Focus on "What" Not "How"
Planning defines **what** to build and **why**. Leave **how** (technical design) to Phase 3 (Solutioning).
### 6. Document-Project First for Brownfield
Always run `document-project` before planning brownfield projects. AI agents need existing codebase context.
---
## Common Patterns
### Greenfield Software (BMad Method)
```
1. (Optional) Analysis: product-brief, research
2. workflow-init → routes to prd
3. PM: prd workflow
4. (Optional) UX Designer: ux workflow
5. PM: create-epics-and-stories (may be automatic)
6. → Phase 3: architecture
```
### Brownfield Software (BMad Method)
```
1. Technical Writer or Analyst: document-project
2. workflow-init → routes to prd
3. PM: prd workflow
4. PM: create-epics-and-stories
5. → Phase 3: architecture (recommended for focused solution design)
```
### Bug Fix (Quick Flow)
```
1. workflow-init → routes to tech-spec
2. Architect: tech-spec workflow
3. → Phase 4: Implementation (skip Phase 3)
```
### Game Project (BMad Method)
```
1. (Optional) Analysis: game-brief, research
2. workflow-init → routes to gdd
3. Game Designer: gdd workflow (or narrative + gdd if story-first)
4. Game Designer creates epic breakdown
5. → Phase 3: architecture (game systems)
```
### Enterprise Project (Enterprise Method)
```
1. (Recommended) Analysis: research (compliance, security)
2. workflow-init → routes to Enterprise Method
3. PM: prd workflow
4. (Optional) UX Designer: ux workflow
5. PM: create-epics-and-stories
6. → Phase 3: architecture + security + devops + test strategy
```

## Common Anti-Patterns
### ❌ Skipping Planning
"We'll just start coding and figure it out."
**Result:** Scope creep, rework, missed requirements
### ❌ Over-Planning Simple Changes
"Let me write a 20-page PRD for this button color change."
**Result:** Wasted time, analysis paralysis
### ❌ Planning Without Discovery
"I already know what I want, skip the questions."
**Result:** Solving wrong problem, missing opportunities
### ❌ Treating PRD as Immutable
"The PRD is locked, no changes allowed."
**Result:** Ignoring new information, rigid planning
### ✅ Correct Approach
- Use scale-adaptive planning (right depth for complexity)
- Involve stakeholders in review
- Iterate as you learn
- Keep planning docs living and updated
- Use `correct-course` for significant changes

## Troubleshooting
**Q: Which workflow should I run first?**
A: Run `workflow-init`. It analyzes your project and routes to the right planning workflow.
**Q: Do I always need a PRD?**
A: No. Simple changes use `tech-spec` (Quick Flow). Only BMad Method and Enterprise tracks create PRDs.
**Q: Can I skip Phase 3 (Solutioning)?**
A: Yes for Quick Flow. Optional for BMad Method (simple projects). Required for BMad Method (complex projects) and Enterprise.
**Q: How do I know which track to choose?**
A: Use `workflow-init` - it recommends based on your description. Story counts are guidance, not definitions.
**Q: What if requirements change mid-project?**
A: Run `correct-course` workflow. It analyzes impact and updates planning artifacts.
**Q: Do brownfield projects need architecture?**
A: Recommended! Architecture distills massive codebase into focused solution design for your specific project.
**Q: When do I run create-epics-and-stories?**
A: Usually automatic during PRD/GDD. Can also run standalone later to regenerate epics.
**Q: Should I use product-brief before PRD?**
A: Optional but recommended for greenfield. Helps strategic thinking. `workflow-init` offers it based on context.

# BMM Solutioning Workflows (Phase 3)
**Reading Time:** ~8 minutes
## Overview
Phase 3 (Solutioning) workflows translate **what** to build (from Planning) into **how** to build it (technical design). This phase prevents agent conflicts in multi-epic projects by documenting architectural decisions before implementation begins.
**Key principle:** Make technical decisions explicit and documented so all agents implement consistently. Prevent one agent choosing REST while another chooses GraphQL.
**Required for:** BMad Method (complex projects), Enterprise Method
**Optional for:** BMad Method (simple projects), Quick Flow (skip entirely)

## Quick Reference
| Workflow | Agent | Track | Purpose |
| -------------------------- | --------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------- |
| **architecture** | Architect | BMad Method, Enterprise | Technical architecture and design decisions |
| **solutioning-gate-check** | Architect | BMad Complex, Enterprise | Validate planning/solutioning completeness |
**When to Skip Solutioning:**
- **Quick Flow:** Simple changes don't need architecture → Skip to Phase 4
**When Solutioning is Required:**
- **BMad Method:** Multi-epic projects need architecture to prevent conflicts
- **Enterprise:** Same as BMad Method, plus optional extended workflows (test architecture, security architecture, devops strategy) added AFTER architecture but BEFORE gate check
---
## Why Solutioning Matters
### The Problem Without Solutioning
```
Agent 1 implements Epic 1 using REST API
Agent 2 implements Epic 2 using GraphQL
Result: Inconsistent API design, integration nightmare
```
### The Solution With Solutioning
```
architecture workflow decides: "Use GraphQL for all APIs"
All agents follow architecture decisions
Result: Consistent implementation, no conflicts
```
### Solutioning vs Planning
| Aspect | Planning (Phase 2) | Solutioning (Phase 3) |
| -------- | ------------------ | ------------------------ |
| Question | What and Why? | How? |
| Output | Requirements | Technical Design |
| Agent | PM | Architect |
| Audience | Stakeholders | Developers |
| Document | PRD/GDD | Architecture + Tech Spec |
| Level | Business logic | Implementation detail |

## Workflow Descriptions
### architecture
**Purpose:** Make technical decisions explicit to prevent agent conflicts. Produces decision-focused architecture document optimized for AI consistency.
**Agent:** Architect
**When to Use:**
- Multi-epic projects (BMad Complex, Enterprise)
- Cross-cutting technical concerns
- Multiple agents implementing different parts
- Integration complexity exists
- Technology choices need alignment
**When to Skip:**
- Quick Flow (simple changes)
- BMad Method Simple with straightforward tech stack
- Single epic with clear technical approach
**Adaptive Conversation Approach:**
This is NOT a template filler. The architecture workflow:
1. **Discovers** technical needs through conversation
2. **Proposes** architectural options with trade-offs
3. **Documents** decisions that prevent agent conflicts
4. **Focuses** on decision points, not exhaustive documentation
**Key Outputs:**
**architecture.md** containing:
1. **Architecture Overview** - System context, principles, style
2. **System Architecture** - High-level diagram, component interactions, communication patterns
3. **Data Architecture** - Database design, state management, caching, data flow
4. **API Architecture** - API style (REST/GraphQL/gRPC), auth, versioning, error handling
5. **Frontend Architecture** (if applicable) - Framework, state management, component architecture, routing
6. **Integration Architecture** - Third-party integrations, message queuing, event-driven patterns
7. **Security Architecture** - Auth/authorization, data protection, security boundaries
8. **Deployment Architecture** - Deployment model, CI/CD, environment strategy, monitoring
9. **Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)** - Key decisions with context, options, trade-offs, rationale
10. **Epic-Specific Guidance** - Technical notes per epic, implementation priorities, dependencies
11. **Standards and Conventions** - Directory structure, naming conventions, code organization, testing
**ADR Format (Brief):**
```markdown
## ADR-001: Use GraphQL for All APIs
**Status:** Accepted | **Date:** 2025-11-02
**Context:** PRD requires flexible querying across multiple epics
**Decision:** Use GraphQL for all client-server communication
**Options Considered:**
1. REST - Familiar but requires multiple endpoints
2. GraphQL - Flexible querying, learning curve
3. gRPC - High performance, poor browser support
**Rationale:**
- PRD requires flexible data fetching (Epic 1, 3)
- Mobile app needs bandwidth optimization (Epic 2)
- Team has GraphQL experience
**Consequences:**
- Positive: Flexible querying, reduced versioning
- Negative: Caching complexity, N+1 query risk
- Mitigation: Use DataLoader for batching
**Implications for Epics:**
- Epic 1: User Management → GraphQL mutations
- Epic 2: Mobile App → Optimized queries
```
**Example:** E-commerce platform → Monolith + PostgreSQL + Redis + Next.js + GraphQL, with ADRs explaining each choice and epic-specific guidance.
**Integration:** Feeds into Phase 4 (Implementation). All dev agents reference architecture during implementation.
---
### solutioning-gate-check
**Purpose:** Systematically validate that planning and solutioning are complete and aligned before Phase 4 implementation. Ensures PRD, architecture, and stories are cohesive with no gaps.
**Agent:** Architect
**When to Use:**
- **Always** before Phase 4 for BMad Complex and Enterprise projects
- After architecture workflow completes
- Before sprint-planning workflow
- When stakeholders request readiness check
**When to Skip:**
- Quick Flow (no solutioning)
- BMad Simple (no gate check required)
**Purpose of Gate Check:**
**Prevents:**
- ❌ Architecture doesn't address all epics
- ❌ Stories conflict with architecture decisions
- ❌ Requirements ambiguous or contradictory
- ❌ Missing critical dependencies
**Ensures:**
- ✅ PRD → Architecture → Stories alignment
- ✅ All epics have clear technical approach
- ✅ No contradictions or gaps
- ✅ Team ready to implement
**Check Criteria:**
**PRD/GDD Completeness:**
- Problem statement clear and evidence-based
- Success metrics defined
- User personas identified
- Feature requirements complete
- All epics defined with objectives
- Non-functional requirements (NFRs) specified
- Risks and assumptions documented
**Architecture Completeness:**
- System architecture defined
- Data architecture specified
- API architecture decided
- Key ADRs documented
- Security architecture addressed
- Epic-specific guidance provided
- Standards and conventions defined
**Epic/Story Completeness:**
- All PRD features mapped to stories
- Stories have acceptance criteria
- Stories prioritized (P0/P1/P2/P3)
- Dependencies identified
- Story sequencing logical
**Alignment Checks:**
- Architecture addresses all PRD requirements
- Stories align with architecture decisions
- No contradictions between epics
- NFRs have technical approach
- Integration points clear
**Gate Decision Logic:**
**✅ PASS**
- All critical criteria met
- Minor gaps acceptable with documented plan
- **Action:** Proceed to Phase 4
**⚠️ CONCERNS**
- Some criteria not met but not blockers
- Gaps identified with clear resolution path
- **Action:** Proceed with caution, address gaps in parallel
**❌ FAIL**
- Critical gaps or contradictions
- Architecture missing key decisions
- Stories conflict with PRD/architecture
- **Action:** BLOCK Phase 4, resolve issues first
**Key Outputs:**
**solutioning-gate-check.md** containing:
1. Executive Summary (PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL)
2. Completeness Assessment (scores for PRD, Architecture, Epics)
3. Alignment Assessment (PRD↔Architecture, Architecture↔Epics, cross-epic consistency)
4. Quality Assessment (story quality, dependencies, risks)
5. Gaps and Recommendations (critical/minor gaps, remediation)
6. Gate Decision with rationale
7. Next Steps
**Example:** E-commerce platform → CONCERNS ⚠️ due to missing security architecture and undefined payment gateway. Recommendation: Complete security section and add payment gateway ADR before proceeding.

## Integration with Planning and Implementation
### Planning → Solutioning Flow
**Quick Flow:**
```
Planning (tech-spec by PM)
→ Skip Solutioning
→ Phase 4 (Implementation)
```
**BMad Method:**
```
Planning (prd by PM)
→ architecture (Architect)
→ solutioning-gate-check (Architect)
→ Phase 4 (Implementation)
```
**Enterprise:**
```
Planning (prd by PM - same as BMad Method)
→ architecture (Architect)
→ Optional: security-architecture (Architect, future)
→ Optional: devops-strategy (Architect, future)
→ solutioning-gate-check (Architect)
→ Phase 4 (Implementation)
```
**Note on TEA (Test Architect):** TEA is fully operational with 8 workflows across all phases. TEA validates architecture testability during Phase 3 reviews but does not have a dedicated solutioning workflow. TEA's primary setup occurs in Phase 2 (`*framework`, `*ci`, `*test-design`) and testing execution in Phase 4 (`*atdd`, `*automate`, `*test-review`, `*trace`, `*nfr-assess`).
**Note:** Enterprise uses the same planning and architecture as BMad Method. The only difference is optional extended workflows added AFTER architecture but BEFORE gate check.
### Solutioning → Implementation Handoff
**Documents Produced:**
1. **architecture.md** → Guides all dev agents during implementation
2. **ADRs** (in architecture) → Referenced by agents for technical decisions
3. **solutioning-gate-check.md** → Confirms readiness for Phase 4
**How Implementation Uses Solutioning:**
- **sprint-planning** - Loads architecture for epic sequencing
- **dev-story** - References architecture decisions and ADRs
- **code-review** - Validates code follows architectural standards
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Make Decisions Explicit
Don't leave technology choices implicit. Document decisions with rationale in ADRs so agents understand context.
### 2. Focus on Agent Conflicts
Architecture's primary job is preventing conflicting implementations. Focus on cross-cutting concerns.
### 3. Use ADRs for Key Decisions
Every significant technology choice should have an ADR explaining "why", not just "what".
### 4. Keep It Practical
Don't over-architect simple projects. BMad Simple projects need simple architecture.
### 5. Run Gate Check Before Implementation
Catching alignment issues in solutioning is 10× faster than discovering them mid-implementation.
### 6. Iterate Architecture
Architecture documents are living. Update them as you learn during implementation.
---
## Decision Guide
### Quick Flow
- **Planning:** tech-spec (PM)
- **Solutioning:** Skip entirely
- **Implementation:** sprint-planning → dev-story
### BMad Method
- **Planning:** prd (PM)
- **Solutioning:** architecture (Architect) → solutioning-gate-check (Architect)
- **Implementation:** sprint-planning → epic-tech-context → dev-story
### Enterprise
- **Planning:** prd (PM) - same as BMad Method
- **Solutioning:** architecture (Architect) → Optional extended workflows (security-architecture, devops-strategy) → solutioning-gate-check (Architect)
- **Implementation:** sprint-planning → epic-tech-context → dev-story
**Key Difference:** Enterprise adds optional extended workflows AFTER architecture but BEFORE gate check. Everything else is identical to BMad Method.
**Note:** TEA (Test Architect) operates across all phases and validates architecture testability but is not a Phase 3-specific workflow. See [Test Architecture Guide](./test-architecture.md) for TEA's full lifecycle integration.
---
## Common Anti-Patterns
### ❌ Skipping Architecture for Complex Projects
"Architecture slows us down, let's just start coding."
**Result:** Agent conflicts, inconsistent design, massive rework
### ❌ Over-Engineering Simple Projects
"Let me design this simple feature like a distributed system."
**Result:** Wasted time, over-engineering, analysis paralysis
### ❌ Template-Driven Architecture
"Fill out every section of this architecture template."
**Result:** Documentation theater, no real decisions made
### ❌ Skipping Gate Check
"PRD and architecture look good enough, let's start."
**Result:** Gaps discovered mid-sprint, wasted implementation time
### ✅ Correct Approach
- Use architecture for BMad Method and Enterprise (both required)
- Focus on decisions, not documentation volume
- Enterprise: Add optional extended workflows (test/security/devops) after architecture
- Always run gate check before implementation

## Troubleshooting
**Q: Do I always need architecture?**
A: No. Quick Flow skips it. BMad Method and Enterprise both require it.
**Q: How do I know if I need architecture?**
A: If you chose BMad Method or Enterprise track in planning (workflow-init), you need architecture to prevent agent conflicts.
**Q: What's the difference between architecture and tech-spec?**
A: Tech-spec is implementation-focused for simple changes. Architecture is system design for complex multi-epic projects.
**Q: Can I skip gate check?**
A: Only for Quick Flow. BMad Method and Enterprise both require gate check before Phase 4.
**Q: What if gate check fails?**
A: Resolve the identified gaps (missing architecture sections, conflicting requirements) and re-run gate check.
**Q: How long should architecture take?**
A: BMad Method: 1-2 days for architecture. Enterprise: 2-3 days total (1-2 days architecture + 0.5-1 day optional extended workflows). If taking longer, you may be over-documenting.
**Q: Do ADRs need to be perfect?**
A: No. ADRs capture key decisions with rationale. They should be concise (1 page max per ADR).
**Q: Can I update architecture during implementation?**
A: Yes! Architecture is living. Update it as you learn. Use `correct-course` workflow for significant changes.

# CI Pipeline and Burn-In Strategy
## Principle
CI pipelines must execute tests reliably, quickly, and provide clear feedback. Burn-in testing (running changed tests multiple times) flushes out flakiness before merge. Stage jobs strategically: install/cache once, run changed specs first for fast feedback, then shard full suites with fail-fast disabled to preserve evidence.
## Rationale
CI is the quality gate for production. A poorly configured pipeline either wastes developer time (slow feedback, false positives) or ships broken code (false negatives, insufficient coverage). Burn-in testing ensures reliability by stress-testing changed code, while parallel execution and intelligent test selection optimize speed without sacrificing thoroughness.
## Pattern Examples
### Example 1: GitHub Actions Workflow with Parallel Execution
**Context**: Production-ready CI/CD pipeline for E2E tests with caching, parallelization, and burn-in testing.
**Implementation**:
```yaml
# .github/workflows/e2e-tests.yml

- name: Run burn-in on changed specs (10 iterations)
if: steps.changed-tests.outputs.changed_specs != ''

```
**Key Points**:
- **Install once, reuse everywhere**: Dependencies cached across all jobs
- **Burn-in first**: Changed specs run 10x before full suite
- **Fail-fast disabled**: All shards run to completion for full evidence
- **Parallel execution**: 4 shards cut execution time by ~75%
- **Artifact retention**: 30 days for reports, 7 days for failure debugging
---
### Example 2: Burn-In Loop Pattern (Standalone Script)
**Context**: Reusable bash script for burn-in testing changed specs locally or in CI.
**Implementation**:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# scripts/burn-in-changed.sh
# Usage: ./scripts/burn-in-changed.sh [iterations] [base-branch]
set -e # Exit on error
# Configuration
ITERATIONS=${1:-10}
BASE_BRANCH=${2:-main}
SPEC_PATTERN='\.(spec|test)\.(ts|js|tsx|jsx)$'
echo "🔥 Burn-In Test Runner"
echo "━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━"
echo "Iterations: $ITERATIONS"
echo "Base branch: $BASE_BRANCH"
echo ""
# Detect changed test files
echo "📋 Detecting changed test files..."
CHANGED_SPECS=$(git diff --name-only $BASE_BRANCH...HEAD | grep -E "$SPEC_PATTERN" || echo "")
if [ -z "$CHANGED_SPECS" ]; then
echo "✅ No test files changed. Skipping burn-in."
exit 0
fi
echo "Changed test files:"
echo "$CHANGED_SPECS" | sed 's/^/ - /'
echo ""
# Count specs
SPEC_COUNT=$(echo "$CHANGED_SPECS" | wc -l | xargs)
echo "Running burn-in on $SPEC_COUNT test file(s)..."
echo ""
# Burn-in loop
FAILURES=()
for i in $(seq 1 $ITERATIONS); do
echo "━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━"
echo "🔄 Iteration $i/$ITERATIONS"
echo "━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━"
# Run tests with explicit file list
if npm run test -- $CHANGED_SPECS 2>&1 | tee "burn-in-log-$i.txt"; then
echo "✅ Iteration $i passed"
else
echo "❌ Iteration $i failed"
FAILURES+=($i)
# Save failure artifacts
mkdir -p burn-in-failures/iteration-$i
cp -r test-results/ burn-in-failures/iteration-$i/ 2>/dev/null || true
cp -r screenshots/ burn-in-failures/iteration-$i/ 2>/dev/null || true
echo ""
echo "🛑 BURN-IN FAILED on iteration $i"
echo "Failure artifacts saved to: burn-in-failures/iteration-$i/"
echo "Logs saved to: burn-in-log-$i.txt"
echo ""
exit 1
fi
echo ""
done
# Success summary
echo "━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━"
echo "🎉 BURN-IN PASSED"
echo "━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━"
echo "All $ITERATIONS iterations passed for $SPEC_COUNT test file(s)"
echo "Changed specs are stable and ready to merge."
echo ""
# Cleanup logs
rm -f burn-in-log-*.txt
exit 0
```
**Usage**:
```bash
# Run locally with default settings (10 iterations, compare to main)
./scripts/burn-in-changed.sh
# Custom iterations and base branch
./scripts/burn-in-changed.sh 20 develop
# Add to package.json
{
"scripts": {
"test:burn-in": "bash scripts/burn-in-changed.sh",
"test:burn-in:strict": "bash scripts/burn-in-changed.sh 20"
}
}
```
**Key Points**:
- **Exit on first failure**: Flaky tests caught immediately
- **Failure artifacts**: Saved per-iteration for debugging
- **Flexible configuration**: Iterations and base branch customizable
- **CI/local parity**: Same script runs in both environments
- **Clear output**: Visual feedback on progress and results
---
### Example 3: Shard Orchestration with Result Aggregation
**Context**: Advanced sharding strategy for large test suites with intelligent result merging.
**Implementation**:
```javascript
// scripts/run-sharded-tests.js
const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
/**
* Run tests across multiple shards and aggregate results
* Usage: node scripts/run-sharded-tests.js --shards=4 --env=staging
*/
const SHARD_COUNT = parseInt(process.env.SHARD_COUNT || '4');
const TEST_ENV = process.env.TEST_ENV || 'local';
const RESULTS_DIR = path.join(__dirname, '../test-results');
console.log(`🚀 Running tests across ${SHARD_COUNT} shards`);
console.log(`Environment: ${TEST_ENV}`);
console.log('━'.repeat(50));
// Ensure results directory exists
if (!fs.existsSync(RESULTS_DIR)) {
fs.mkdirSync(RESULTS_DIR, { recursive: true });
}
/**
* Run a single shard
*/
function runShard(shardIndex) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const shardId = `${shardIndex}/${SHARD_COUNT}`;
console.log(`\n📦 Starting shard ${shardId}...`);
const child = spawn('npx', ['playwright', 'test', `--shard=${shardId}`, '--reporter=json'], {
env: { ...process.env, TEST_ENV, SHARD_INDEX: shardIndex },
stdio: 'pipe',
});
let stdout = '';
let stderr = '';
child.stdout.on('data', (data) => {
stdout += data.toString();
process.stdout.write(data);
});
child.stderr.on('data', (data) => {
stderr += data.toString();
process.stderr.write(data);
});
child.on('close', (code) => {
// Save shard results
const resultFile = path.join(RESULTS_DIR, `shard-${shardIndex}.json`);
try {
const result = JSON.parse(stdout);
fs.writeFileSync(resultFile, JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
console.log(`✅ Shard ${shardId} completed (exit code: ${code})`);
resolve({ shardIndex, code, result });
} catch (error) {
console.error(`❌ Shard ${shardId} failed to parse results:`, error.message);
reject({ shardIndex, code, error });
}
});
child.on('error', (error) => {
console.error(`❌ Shard ${shardId} process error:`, error.message);
reject({ shardIndex, error });
});
});
}
/**
* Aggregate results from all shards
*/
function aggregateResults() {
console.log('\n📊 Aggregating results from all shards...');
const shardResults = [];
let totalTests = 0;
let totalPassed = 0;
let totalFailed = 0;
let totalSkipped = 0;
let totalFlaky = 0;
for (let i = 1; i <= SHARD_COUNT; i++) {
const resultFile = path.join(RESULTS_DIR, `shard-${i}.json`);
if (fs.existsSync(resultFile)) {
const result = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(resultFile, 'utf8'));
shardResults.push(result);
// Aggregate stats
totalTests += result.stats?.expected || 0;
totalPassed += result.stats?.expected || 0;
totalFailed += result.stats?.unexpected || 0;
totalSkipped += result.stats?.skipped || 0;
totalFlaky += result.stats?.flaky || 0;
}
}
const summary = {
totalShards: SHARD_COUNT,
environment: TEST_ENV,
totalTests,
passed: totalPassed,
failed: totalFailed,
skipped: totalSkipped,
flaky: totalFlaky,
duration: shardResults.reduce((acc, r) => acc + (r.duration || 0), 0),
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
};
// Save aggregated summary
fs.writeFileSync(path.join(RESULTS_DIR, 'summary.json'), JSON.stringify(summary, null, 2));
console.log('\n━'.repeat(50));
console.log('📈 Test Results Summary');
console.log('━'.repeat(50));
console.log(`Total tests: ${totalTests}`);
console.log(`✅ Passed: ${totalPassed}`);
console.log(`❌ Failed: ${totalFailed}`);
console.log(`⏭️ Skipped: ${totalSkipped}`);
console.log(`⚠️ Flaky: ${totalFlaky}`);
console.log(`⏱️ Duration: ${(summary.duration / 1000).toFixed(2)}s`);
console.log('━'.repeat(50));
return summary;
}
/**
* Main execution
*/
async function main() {
const startTime = Date.now();
const shardPromises = [];
// Run all shards in parallel
for (let i = 1; i <= SHARD_COUNT; i++) {
shardPromises.push(runShard(i));
}
try {
await Promise.allSettled(shardPromises);
} catch (error) {
console.error('❌ One or more shards failed:', error);
}
// Aggregate results
const summary = aggregateResults();
const totalTime = ((Date.now() - startTime) / 1000).toFixed(2);
console.log(`\n⏱ Total execution time: ${totalTime}s`);
// Exit with failure if any tests failed
if (summary.failed > 0) {
console.error('\n❌ Test suite failed');
process.exit(1);
}
console.log('\n✅ All tests passed');
process.exit(0);
}
main().catch((error) => {
console.error('Fatal error:', error);
process.exit(1);
});
```
**package.json integration**:
```json
{
"scripts": {
"test:sharded": "node scripts/run-sharded-tests.js",
"test:sharded:ci": "SHARD_COUNT=8 TEST_ENV=staging node scripts/run-sharded-tests.js"
}
}
```
**Key Points**:
- **Parallel shard execution**: All shards run simultaneously
- **Result aggregation**: Unified summary across shards
- **Failure detection**: Exit code reflects overall test status
- **Artifact preservation**: Individual shard results saved for debugging
- **CI/local compatibility**: Same script works in both environments
---
### Example 4: Selective Test Execution (Changed Files + Tags)
**Context**: Optimize CI by running only relevant tests based on file changes and tags.
**Implementation**:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# scripts/selective-test-runner.sh
# Intelligent test selection based on changed files and test tags
set -e
BASE_BRANCH=${BASE_BRANCH:-main}
TEST_ENV=${TEST_ENV:-local}
echo "🎯 Selective Test Runner"
echo "━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━"
echo "Base branch: $BASE_BRANCH"
echo "Environment: $TEST_ENV"
echo ""
# Detect changed files (all types, not just tests)
CHANGED_FILES=$(git diff --name-only $BASE_BRANCH...HEAD)
if [ -z "$CHANGED_FILES" ]; then
echo "✅ No files changed. Skipping tests."
exit 0
fi
echo "Changed files:"
echo "$CHANGED_FILES" | sed 's/^/ - /'
echo ""
# Determine test strategy based on changes
run_smoke_only=false
run_all_tests=false
affected_specs=""
# Critical files = run all tests
if echo "$CHANGED_FILES" | grep -qE '(package\.json|package-lock\.json|playwright\.config|cypress\.config|\.github/workflows)'; then
echo "⚠️ Critical configuration files changed. Running ALL tests."
run_all_tests=true
# Auth/security changes = run all auth + smoke tests
elif echo "$CHANGED_FILES" | grep -qE '(auth|login|signup|security)'; then
echo "🔒 Auth/security files changed. Running auth + smoke tests."
npm run test -- --grep "@auth|@smoke"
exit $?
# API changes = run integration + smoke tests
elif echo "$CHANGED_FILES" | grep -qE '(api|service|controller)'; then
echo "🔌 API files changed. Running integration + smoke tests."
npm run test -- --grep "@integration|@smoke"
exit $?
# UI component changes = run related component tests
elif echo "$CHANGED_FILES" | grep -qE '\.(tsx|jsx|vue)$'; then
echo "🎨 UI components changed. Running component + smoke tests."
# Extract component names and find related tests
components=$(echo "$CHANGED_FILES" | grep -E '\.(tsx|jsx|vue)$' | xargs -I {} basename {} | sed 's/\.[^.]*$//')
for component in $components; do
# Find tests matching component name
affected_specs+=$(find tests -name "*${component}*" -type f) || true
done
if [ -n "$affected_specs" ]; then
echo "Running tests for: $affected_specs"
npm run test -- $affected_specs --grep "@smoke"
else
echo "No specific tests found. Running smoke tests only."
npm run test -- --grep "@smoke"
fi
exit $?
# Documentation/config only = run smoke tests
elif echo "$CHANGED_FILES" | grep -qE '\.(md|txt|json|yml|yaml)$'; then
echo "📝 Documentation/config files changed. Running smoke tests only."
run_smoke_only=true
else
echo "⚙️ Other files changed. Running smoke tests."
run_smoke_only=true
fi
# Execute selected strategy
if [ "$run_all_tests" = true ]; then
echo ""
echo "Running full test suite..."
npm run test
elif [ "$run_smoke_only" = true ]; then
echo ""
echo "Running smoke tests..."
npm run test -- --grep "@smoke"
fi
```
**Usage in GitHub Actions**:
```yaml
# .github/workflows/selective-tests.yml
name: Selective Tests
on: pull_request
jobs:
selective-tests:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
fetch-depth: 0
- name: Run selective tests
run: bash scripts/selective-test-runner.sh
env:
BASE_BRANCH: ${{ github.base_ref }}
TEST_ENV: staging
```
**Key Points**:
- **Intelligent routing**: Tests selected based on changed file types
- **Tag-based filtering**: Use @smoke, @auth, @integration tags
- **Fast feedback**: Only relevant tests run on most PRs
- **Safety net**: Critical changes trigger full suite
- **Component mapping**: UI changes run related component tests
---
## CI Configuration Checklist
Before deploying your CI pipeline, verify:
- [ ] **Caching strategy**: node_modules, npm cache, browser binaries cached
- [ ] **Timeout budgets**: Each job has reasonable timeout (10-30 min)
- [ ] **Artifact retention**: 30 days for reports, 7 days for failure artifacts
- [ ] **Parallelization**: Matrix strategy uses fail-fast: false
- [ ] **Burn-in enabled**: Changed specs run 5-10x before merge
- [ ] **wait-on app startup**: CI waits for app (wait-on: 'http://localhost:3000')
- [ ] **Secrets documented**: README lists required secrets (API keys, tokens)
- [ ] **Local parity**: CI scripts runnable locally (npm run test:ci)
## Integration Points
- Used in workflows: `*ci` (CI/CD pipeline setup)
- Related fragments: `selective-testing.md`, `playwright-config.md`, `test-quality.md`
- CI tools: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins

# Component Test-Driven Development Loop
## Principle
Start every UI change with a failing component test (`cy.mount`, Playwright component test, or RTL `render`). Follow the Red-Green-Refactor cycle: write a failing test (red), make it pass with minimal code (green), then improve the implementation (refactor). Ship only after the cycle completes. Keep component tests under 100 lines, isolated with fresh providers per test, and validate accessibility alongside functionality.
## Rationale
Component TDD provides immediate feedback during development. Failing tests (red) clarify requirements before writing code. Minimal implementations (green) prevent over-engineering. Refactoring with passing tests ensures changes don't break functionality. Isolated tests with fresh providers prevent state bleed in parallel runs. Accessibility assertions catch usability issues early. Visual debugging (Cypress runner, Storybook, Playwright trace viewer) accelerates diagnosis when tests fail.
## Pattern Examples
### Example 1: Red-Green-Refactor Loop
**Context**: When building a new component, start with a failing test that describes the desired behavior. Implement just enough to pass, then refactor for quality.
**Implementation**:
```typescript
// Step 1: RED - Write failing test
// Button.cy.tsx (Cypress Component Test)
import { Button } from './Button';
describe('Button Component', () => {
it('should render with label', () => {
cy.mount(<Button label="Click Me" />);
cy.contains('Click Me').should('be.visible');
});
it('should call onClick when clicked', () => {
const onClickSpy = cy.stub().as('onClick');
cy.mount(<Button label="Submit" onClick={onClickSpy} />);
cy.get('button').click();
cy.get('@onClick').should('have.been.calledOnce');
});
});
// Run test: FAILS - Button component doesn't exist yet
// Error: "Cannot find module './Button'"
// Step 2: GREEN - Minimal implementation
// Button.tsx
type ButtonProps = {
label: string;
onClick?: () => void;
};
export const Button = ({ label, onClick }: ButtonProps) => {
return <button onClick={onClick}>{label}</button>;
};
// Run test: PASSES - Component renders and handles clicks
// Step 3: REFACTOR - Improve implementation
// Add disabled state, loading state, variants
type ButtonProps = {
label: string;
onClick?: () => void;
disabled?: boolean;
loading?: boolean;
variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'danger';
};
export const Button = ({
label,
onClick,
disabled = false,
loading = false,
variant = 'primary'
}: ButtonProps) => {
return (
<button
onClick={onClick}
disabled={disabled || loading}
className={`btn btn-${variant}`}
data-testid="button"
>
{loading ? <Spinner /> : label}
</button>
);
};
// Step 4: Expand tests for new features
describe('Button Component', () => {
it('should render with label', () => {
cy.mount(<Button label="Click Me" />);
cy.contains('Click Me').should('be.visible');
});
it('should call onClick when clicked', () => {
const onClickSpy = cy.stub().as('onClick');
cy.mount(<Button label="Submit" onClick={onClickSpy} />);
cy.get('button').click();
cy.get('@onClick').should('have.been.calledOnce');
});
it('should be disabled when disabled prop is true', () => {
cy.mount(<Button label="Submit" disabled={true} />);
cy.get('button').should('be.disabled');
});
it('should show spinner when loading', () => {
cy.mount(<Button label="Submit" loading={true} />);
cy.get('[data-testid="spinner"]').should('be.visible');
cy.get('button').should('be.disabled');
});
it('should apply variant styles', () => {
cy.mount(<Button label="Delete" variant="danger" />);
cy.get('button').should('have.class', 'btn-danger');
});
});
// Run tests: ALL PASS - Refactored component still works
// Playwright Component Test equivalent
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-react';
import { Button } from './Button';
test.describe('Button Component', () => {
test('should call onClick when clicked', async ({ mount }) => {
let clicked = false;
const component = await mount(
<Button label="Submit" onClick={() => { clicked = true; }} />
);
await component.getByRole('button').click();
expect(clicked).toBe(true);
});
test('should be disabled when loading', async ({ mount }) => {
const component = await mount(<Button label="Submit" loading={true} />);
await expect(component.getByRole('button')).toBeDisabled();
await expect(component.getByTestId('spinner')).toBeVisible();
});
});
```
**Key Points**:
- Red: Write failing test first - clarifies requirements before coding
- Green: Implement minimal code to pass - prevents over-engineering
- Refactor: Improve code quality while keeping tests green
- Expand: Add tests for new features after refactoring
- Cycle repeats: Each new feature starts with a failing test
### Example 2: Provider Isolation Pattern
**Context**: When testing components that depend on context providers (React Query, Auth, Router), wrap them with required providers in each test to prevent state bleed between tests.
**Implementation**:
```typescript
// test-utils/AllTheProviders.tsx
import { FC, ReactNode } from 'react';
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import { AuthProvider } from '../contexts/AuthContext';
type Props = {
children: ReactNode;
initialAuth?: { user: User | null; token: string | null };
};
export const AllTheProviders: FC<Props> = ({ children, initialAuth }) => {
// Create NEW QueryClient per test (prevent state bleed)
const queryClient = new QueryClient({
defaultOptions: {
queries: { retry: false },
mutations: { retry: false }
}
});
return (
<QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
<BrowserRouter>
<AuthProvider initialAuth={initialAuth}>
{children}
</AuthProvider>
</BrowserRouter>
</QueryClientProvider>
);
};
// Cypress custom mount command
// cypress/support/component.tsx
import { mount } from 'cypress/react18';
import { AllTheProviders } from '../../test-utils/AllTheProviders';
Cypress.Commands.add('wrappedMount', (component, options = {}) => {
const { initialAuth, ...mountOptions } = options;
return mount(
<AllTheProviders initialAuth={initialAuth}>
{component}
</AllTheProviders>,
mountOptions
);
});
// Usage in tests
// UserProfile.cy.tsx
import { UserProfile } from './UserProfile';
describe('UserProfile Component', () => {
it('should display user when authenticated', () => {
const user = { id: 1, name: 'John Doe', email: 'john@example.com' };
cy.wrappedMount(<UserProfile />, {
initialAuth: { user, token: 'fake-token' }
});
cy.contains('John Doe').should('be.visible');
cy.contains('john@example.com').should('be.visible');
});
it('should show login prompt when not authenticated', () => {
cy.wrappedMount(<UserProfile />, {
initialAuth: { user: null, token: null }
});
cy.contains('Please log in').should('be.visible');
});
});
// Playwright Component Test with providers
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-react';
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { UserProfile } from './UserProfile';
import { AuthProvider } from '../contexts/AuthContext';
test.describe('UserProfile Component', () => {
test('should display user when authenticated', async ({ mount }) => {
const user = { id: 1, name: 'John Doe', email: 'john@example.com' };
const queryClient = new QueryClient();
const component = await mount(
<QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
<AuthProvider initialAuth={{ user, token: 'fake-token' }}>
<UserProfile />
</AuthProvider>
</QueryClientProvider>
);
await expect(component.getByText('John Doe')).toBeVisible();
await expect(component.getByText('john@example.com')).toBeVisible();
});
});
```
**Key Points**:
- Create NEW providers per test (QueryClient, Router, Auth)
- Prevents state pollution between tests
- `initialAuth` prop allows testing different auth states
- Custom mount command (`wrappedMount`) reduces boilerplate
- Providers wrap component, not the entire test suite
### Example 3: Accessibility Assertions
**Context**: When testing components, validate accessibility alongside functionality using axe-core, ARIA roles, labels, and keyboard navigation.
**Implementation**:
```typescript
// Cypress with axe-core
// cypress/support/component.tsx
import 'cypress-axe';
// Form.cy.tsx
import { Form } from './Form';
describe('Form Component Accessibility', () => {
beforeEach(() => {
cy.wrappedMount(<Form />);
cy.injectAxe(); // Inject axe-core
});
it('should have no accessibility violations', () => {
cy.checkA11y(); // Run axe scan
});
it('should have proper ARIA labels', () => {
cy.get('input[name="email"]').should('have.attr', 'aria-label', 'Email address');
cy.get('input[name="password"]').should('have.attr', 'aria-label', 'Password');
cy.get('button[type="submit"]').should('have.attr', 'aria-label', 'Submit form');
});
it('should support keyboard navigation', () => {
// Tab through form fields
cy.get('input[name="email"]').focus().type('test@example.com');
cy.realPress('Tab'); // cypress-real-events plugin
cy.focused().should('have.attr', 'name', 'password');
cy.focused().type('password123');
cy.realPress('Tab');
cy.focused().should('have.attr', 'type', 'submit');
cy.realPress('Enter'); // Submit via keyboard
cy.contains('Form submitted').should('be.visible');
});
it('should announce errors to screen readers', () => {
cy.get('button[type="submit"]').click(); // Submit without data
// Error has role="alert" and aria-live="polite"
cy.get('[role="alert"]')
.should('be.visible')
.and('have.attr', 'aria-live', 'polite')
.and('contain', 'Email is required');
});
it('should have sufficient color contrast', () => {
cy.checkA11y(null, {
rules: {
'color-contrast': { enabled: true }
}
});
});
});
// Playwright with axe-playwright
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-react';
import AxeBuilder from '@axe-core/playwright';
import { Form } from './Form';
test.describe('Form Component Accessibility', () => {
test('should have no accessibility violations', async ({ mount, page }) => {
await mount(<Form />);
const accessibilityScanResults = await new AxeBuilder({ page })
.analyze();
expect(accessibilityScanResults.violations).toEqual([]);
});
test('should support keyboard navigation', async ({ mount, page }) => {
const component = await mount(<Form />);
await component.getByLabel('Email address').fill('test@example.com');
await page.keyboard.press('Tab');
await expect(component.getByLabel('Password')).toBeFocused();
await component.getByLabel('Password').fill('password123');
await page.keyboard.press('Tab');
await expect(component.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit form' })).toBeFocused();
await page.keyboard.press('Enter');
await expect(component.getByText('Form submitted')).toBeVisible();
});
});
```
**Key Points**:
- Use `cy.checkA11y()` (Cypress) or `AxeBuilder` (Playwright) for automated accessibility scanning
- Validate ARIA roles, labels, and live regions
- Test keyboard navigation (Tab, Enter, Escape)
- Ensure errors are announced to screen readers (`role="alert"`, `aria-live`)
- Check color contrast meets WCAG standards
### Example 4: Visual Regression Test
**Context**: When testing components, capture screenshots to detect unintended visual changes. Use Playwright visual comparison or Cypress snapshot plugins.
**Implementation**:
```typescript
// Playwright visual regression
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-react';
import { Button } from './Button';
test.describe('Button Visual Regression', () => {
test('should match primary button snapshot', async ({ mount }) => {
const component = await mount(<Button label="Primary" variant="primary" />);
// Capture and compare screenshot
await expect(component).toHaveScreenshot('button-primary.png');
});
test('should match secondary button snapshot', async ({ mount }) => {
const component = await mount(<Button label="Secondary" variant="secondary" />);
await expect(component).toHaveScreenshot('button-secondary.png');
});
test('should match disabled button snapshot', async ({ mount }) => {
const component = await mount(<Button label="Disabled" disabled={true} />);
await expect(component).toHaveScreenshot('button-disabled.png');
});
test('should match loading button snapshot', async ({ mount }) => {
const component = await mount(<Button label="Loading" loading={true} />);
await expect(component).toHaveScreenshot('button-loading.png');
});
});
// Cypress visual regression with percy or snapshot plugins
import { Button } from './Button';
describe('Button Visual Regression', () => {
it('should match primary button snapshot', () => {
cy.wrappedMount(<Button label="Primary" variant="primary" />);
// Option 1: Percy (cloud-based visual testing)
cy.percySnapshot('Button - Primary');
// Option 2: cypress-plugin-snapshots (local snapshots)
cy.get('button').toMatchImageSnapshot({
name: 'button-primary',
threshold: 0.01 // 1% threshold for pixel differences
});
});
it('should match hover state', () => {
cy.wrappedMount(<Button label="Hover Me" />);
cy.get('button').realHover(); // cypress-real-events
cy.percySnapshot('Button - Hover State');
});
it('should match focus state', () => {
cy.wrappedMount(<Button label="Focus Me" />);
cy.get('button').focus();
cy.percySnapshot('Button - Focus State');
});
});
// Playwright configuration for visual regression
// playwright.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
expect: {
toHaveScreenshot: {
maxDiffPixels: 100, // Allow 100 pixels difference
threshold: 0.2 // 20% threshold
}
},
use: {
screenshot: 'only-on-failure'
}
});
// Update snapshots when intentional changes are made
// npx playwright test --update-snapshots
```
**Key Points**:
- Playwright: Use `toHaveScreenshot()` for built-in visual comparison
- Cypress: Use Percy (cloud) or snapshot plugins (local) for visual testing
- Capture different states: default, hover, focus, disabled, loading
- Set threshold for acceptable pixel differences (avoid false positives)
- Update snapshots when visual changes are intentional
- Visual tests catch unintended CSS/layout regressions
## Integration Points
- **Used in workflows**: `*atdd` (component test generation), `*automate` (component test expansion), `*framework` (component testing setup)
- **Related fragments**:
- `test-quality.md` - Keep component tests <100 lines, isolated, focused
- `fixture-architecture.md` - Provider wrapping patterns, custom mount commands
- `data-factories.md` - Factory functions for component props
- `test-levels-framework.md` - When to use component tests vs E2E tests
## TDD Workflow Summary
**Red-Green-Refactor Cycle**:
1. **Red**: Write failing test describing desired behavior
2. **Green**: Implement minimal code to make test pass
3. **Refactor**: Improve code quality, tests stay green
4. **Repeat**: Each new feature starts with failing test
**Component Test Checklist**:
- [ ] Test renders with required props
- [ ] Test user interactions (click, type, submit)
- [ ] Test different states (loading, error, disabled)
- [ ] Test accessibility (ARIA, keyboard navigation)
- [ ] Test visual regression (snapshots)
- [ ] Isolate with fresh providers (no state bleed)
- [ ] Keep tests <100 lines (split by intent)
