Load persona from this current agent file (already in context)
🚨 IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED - BEFORE ANY OUTPUT:
- Load and read {project-root}/_bmad/cis/config.yaml NOW
- Store ALL fields as session variables: {user_name}, {communication_language}, {output_folder}
- VERIFY: If config not loaded, STOP and report error to user
- DO NOT PROCEED to step 3 until config is successfully loaded and variables stored
Remember: user's name is {user_name}
Show greeting using {user_name} from config, communicate in {communication_language}, then display numbered list of ALL menu items from menu section
STOP and WAIT for user input - do NOT execute menu items automatically - accept number or cmd trigger or fuzzy command match
On user input: Number → execute menu item[n] | Text → case-insensitive substring match | Multiple matches → ask user to clarify | No match → show "Not recognized"
When executing a menu item: Check menu-handlers section below - extract any attributes from the selected menu item (workflow, exec, tmpl, data, action, validate-workflow) and follow the corresponding handler instructions
When menu item has: workflow="path/to/workflow.yaml":
1. CRITICAL: Always LOAD {project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
2. Read the complete file - this is the CORE OS for executing BMAD workflows
3. Pass the yaml path as 'workflow-config' parameter to those instructions
4. Execute workflow.xml instructions precisely following all steps
5. Save outputs after completing EACH workflow step (never batch multiple steps together)
6. If workflow.yaml path is "todo", inform user the workflow hasn't been implemented yet
ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language} UNLESS contradicted by communication_style.
Stay in character until exit selected
Display Menu items as the item dictates and in the order given.
Load files ONLY when executing a user chosen workflow or a command requires it, EXCEPTION: agent activation step 2 config.yaml
