The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml You MUST have already loaded and processed: {installed_path}/workflow.yaml Communicate all responses in {communication_language} 🤖 AUTONOMOUS EPIC PROCESSING - Full automation of epic completion! This workflow orchestrates super-dev-pipeline for each story in an epic TASK-BASED COMPLETION: A story is ONLY complete when it has ZERO unchecked tasks (- [ ]) ⚡ AUTONOMOUS MODE: When auto_accept_gap_analysis=true in workflow.yaml, you MUST: - NEVER ask the user to approve gap analysis refinements - AUTOMATICALLY accept all gap analysis proposals - PROCEED immediately without waiting for user input on gap analysis - Only ask for user input at the START of the workflow (epic selection, Y/D/n choice) ⚡ INVOKING SUB-WORKFLOWS: When you see invoke-workflow, you must: 1. Load the referenced workflow.yaml file 2. Load its instructions.xml file 3. Execute that workflow completely 4. Return to this workflow and continue

🔍 **Epic Status Validation Mode** This will: 1. Scan ALL story files for task completion (count checkboxes) 2. Validate story file quality (>=10KB, proper task lists) 3. Update sprint-status.yaml to match REALITY (task completion) 4. Report suspicious stories (poor quality, false positives) **NO code will be generated** - validation only.

🤖 **Autonomous Epic Processing** This workflow will automatically: 1. Develop each story using super-dev-pipeline 2. **Verify completion** by checking ALL tasks are done (- [x]) 3. Commit and push after each story (integrated in super-dev-pipeline) 4. Generate epic completion report **super-dev-pipeline includes:** - Pre-gap analysis (understand existing code) - Smart task batching (group related work) - Implementation (systematic execution) - **Post-implementation validation** (catches false positives!) - Code review (adversarial, multi-agent) - Completion (commit + push) **Key Improvement:** Stories in "review" status with unchecked tasks WILL be processed - we check actual task completion, not just status!

HALT Load {{sprint_status}} file Find epic-{{epic_num}} entry and all story entries for this epic For each story in epic: 1. Read the story file from {{story_dir}}/{{story_key}}.md 2. Check file exists (if missing, mark story as "backlog") 3. Check file size (if <10KB, flag as poor quality) 4. Count unchecked tasks: grep -c "^- \[ \]" or regex match "- \[ \]" 5. Count checked tasks: grep -c "^- \[x\]" or regex match "- \[x\]" 6. Count total tasks (unchecked + checked) 7. Calculate completion rate: (checked / total * 100) 8. Categorize story: - "truly_done": unchecked_tasks=0 AND file_size>=10KB AND total_tasks>=5 - "in_progress": unchecked_tasks>0 AND checked_tasks>0 - "ready_for_dev": unchecked_tasks=total_tasks (nothing checked yet) - "poor_quality": file_size<10KB OR total_tasks<5 (needs regeneration) - "needs_work": unchecked_tasks > 0 (regardless of status) - "backlog": status=backlog (file may not exist yet)

**Proceed with autonomous processing?** [Y] Yes - Use super-dev-pipeline (step-file architecture, brownfield-compatible) [n] No - Cancel Note: super-dev-pipeline uses disciplined step-file execution with smart batching! Set {{use_super_dev_pipeline}} = true

Check for existing progress file: 1. New format: .autonomous-epic-{{epic_num}}-progress.yaml 2. Legacy format: .autonomous-epic-progress-epic-{{epic_num}}.yaml Set {{progress_file_path}} to whichever exists, or new format if neither exist

📋 Creating new progress file: .autonomous-epic-{{epic_num}}-progress.yaml

Initialize progress tracking file at: .autonomous-epic-{{epic_num}}-progress.yaml - epic_num - started timestamp - total_stories - completed_stories: [] - current_story: null - status: running 🔄 STORY LOOP - Create and develop each story until ALL tasks complete Build ordered list of stories needing work: 1. All stories with unchecked tasks (regardless of status) 2. All backlog stories 3. Sort by story number (ascending) Initialize counters: success=0, failure=0 Set {{current_story}} Read story file from {{story_dir}}/{{current_story.key}}.md

❌ Story file missing: {{current_story.key}}.md

Mark story as "backlog" in sprint-status.yaml Continue to next story Get file size in KB Count unchecked tasks: grep -c "^- \[ \]" Count checked tasks: grep -c "^- \[x\]" Count total tasks Calculate completion_rate = (checked / total * 100)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Story {{counter}}/{{work_count}}: {{current_story.key}} Size: {{file_size_kb}}KB | Tasks: {{checked}}/{{total}} ({{completion_rate}}%) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Determine correct status: IF unchecked_tasks == 0 AND file_size >= 10KB AND total_tasks >= 5 → correct_status = "done" ELSE IF unchecked_tasks > 0 AND checked_tasks > 0 → correct_status = "in-progress" ELSE IF unchecked_tasks == total_tasks → correct_status = "ready-for-dev" ELSE IF file_size < 10KB OR total_tasks < 5 → correct_status = "ready-for-dev" (needs regeneration) Update story status in sprint-status.yaml to {{correct_status}}

⚠️ POOR QUALITY - File too small or missing tasks (needs /create-story regeneration)
