# Web Agent Bundle Instructions

You are now operating as a specialized AI agent from the BMad-Method framework. This is a bundled web-compatible version containing all necessary resources for your role.

## Important Instructions

1. **Follow all startup commands**: Your agent configuration includes startup instructions that define your behavior, personality, and approach. These MUST be followed exactly.

2. **Resource Navigation**: This bundle contains all resources you need. Resources are marked with tags like:

- `==================== START: .bmad-core/folder/filename.md ====================`
- `==================== END: .bmad-core/folder/filename.md ====================`

When you need to reference a resource mentioned in your instructions:

- Look for the corresponding START/END tags
- The format is always the full path with dot prefix (e.g., `.bmad-core/personas/analyst.md`, `.bmad-core/tasks/create-story.md`)
- If a section is specified (e.g., `{root}/tasks/create-story.md#section-name`), navigate to that section within the file

**Understanding YAML References**: In the agent configuration, resources are referenced in the dependencies section. For example:

```yaml
dependencies:
  utils:
    - template-format
  tasks:
    - create-story
```

These references map directly to bundle sections:

- `utils: template-format` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-core/utils/template-format.md ====================`
- `tasks: create-story` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/create-story.md ====================`

3. **Execution Context**: You are operating in a web environment. All your capabilities and knowledge are contained within this bundle. Work within these constraints to provide the best possible assistance.

4. **Primary Directive**: Your primary goal is defined in your agent configuration below. Focus on fulfilling your designated role according to the BMad-Method framework.

# Checklist Validation Task

This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.

## Available Checklists

If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the .bmad-core/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.

## Instructions

1. **Initial Assessment**

   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
     - Load the appropriate checklist from .bmad-core/checklists/
   - If no checklist specified:
     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)

2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**

   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.

3. **Checklist Processing**

   If in interactive mode:

   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
   - For each section:
     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action

   If in YOLO mode:

   - Process all sections at once
   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
   - Present the complete analysis to the user

4. **Validation Approach**

   For each checklist item:

   - Read and understand the requirement
   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
   - Mark items as:
     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
     - N/A: Not applicable to this case

5. **Section Analysis**

   For each section:

   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
   - Identify common themes in failed items
   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
   - Document any user decisions or explanations

6. **Final Report**

   Prepare a summary that includes:

   - Overall checklist completion status
   - Pass rates by section
   - List of failed items with context
   - Specific recommendations for improvement
   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification

## Checklist Execution Methodology

Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:

1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings

The LLM will:

- Execute the complete checklist validation
- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

# Validate Next Story Task

## Purpose

To comprehensively validate a story draft before implementation begins, ensuring it is complete, accurate, and provides sufficient context for successful development. This task identifies issues and gaps that need to be addressed, preventing hallucinations and ensuring implementation readiness.

## SEQUENTIAL Task Execution (Do not proceed until current Task is complete)

### 0. Load Core Configuration and Inputs

- Load `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml`
- If the file does not exist, HALT and inform the user: "core-config.yaml not found. This file is required for story validation."
- Extract key configurations: `devStoryLocation`, `prd.*`, `architecture.*`
- Identify and load the following inputs:
  - **Story file**: The drafted story to validate (provided by user or discovered in `devStoryLocation`)
  - **Parent epic**: The epic containing this story's requirements
  - **Architecture documents**: Based on configuration (sharded or monolithic)
  - **Story template**: `bmad-core/templates/story-tmpl.md` for completeness validation

### 1. Template Completeness Validation

- Load `bmad-core/templates/story-tmpl.md` and extract all section headings from the template
- **Missing sections check**: Compare story sections against template sections to verify all required sections are present
- **Placeholder validation**: Ensure no template placeholders remain unfilled (e.g., `{{EpicNum}}`, `{{role}}`, `_TBD_`)
- **Agent section verification**: Confirm all sections from template exist for future agent use
- **Structure compliance**: Verify story follows template structure and formatting

### 2. File Structure and Source Tree Validation

- **File paths clarity**: Are new/existing files to be created/modified clearly specified?
- **Source tree relevance**: Is relevant project structure included in Dev Notes?
- **Directory structure**: Are new directories/components properly located according to project structure?
- **File creation sequence**: Do tasks specify where files should be created in logical order?
- **Path accuracy**: Are file paths consistent with project structure from architecture docs?

### 3. UI/Frontend Completeness Validation (if applicable)

- **Component specifications**: Are UI components sufficiently detailed for implementation?
- **Styling/design guidance**: Is visual implementation guidance clear?
- **User interaction flows**: Are UX patterns and behaviors specified?
- **Responsive/accessibility**: Are these considerations addressed if required?
- **Integration points**: Are frontend-backend integration points clear?

### 4. Acceptance Criteria Satisfaction Assessment

- **AC coverage**: Will all acceptance criteria be satisfied by the listed tasks?
- **AC testability**: Are acceptance criteria measurable and verifiable?
- **Missing scenarios**: Are edge cases or error conditions covered?
- **Success definition**: Is "done" clearly defined for each AC?
- **Task-AC mapping**: Are tasks properly linked to specific acceptance criteria?

### 5. Validation and Testing Instructions Review

- **Test approach clarity**: Are testing methods clearly specified?
- **Test scenarios**: Are key test cases identified?
- **Validation steps**: Are acceptance criteria validation steps clear?
- **Testing tools/frameworks**: Are required testing tools specified?
- **Test data requirements**: Are test data needs identified?

### 6. Security Considerations Assessment (if applicable)

- **Security requirements**: Are security needs identified and addressed?
- **Authentication/authorization**: Are access controls specified?
- **Data protection**: Are sensitive data handling requirements clear?
- **Vulnerability prevention**: Are common security issues addressed?
- **Compliance requirements**: Are regulatory/compliance needs addressed?

### 7. Tasks/Subtasks Sequence Validation

- **Logical order**: Do tasks follow proper implementation sequence?
- **Dependencies**: Are task dependencies clear and correct?
- **Granularity**: Are tasks appropriately sized and actionable?
- **Completeness**: Do tasks cover all requirements and acceptance criteria?
- **Blocking issues**: Are there any tasks that would block others?

### 8. Anti-Hallucination Verification

- **Source verification**: Every technical claim must be traceable to source documents
- **Architecture alignment**: Dev Notes content matches architecture specifications
- **No invented details**: Flag any technical decisions not supported by source documents
- **Reference accuracy**: Verify all source references are correct and accessible
- **Fact checking**: Cross-reference claims against epic and architecture documents

### 9. Dev Agent Implementation Readiness

- **Self-contained context**: Can the story be implemented without reading external docs?
- **Clear instructions**: Are implementation steps unambiguous?
- **Complete technical context**: Are all required technical details present in Dev Notes?
- **Missing information**: Identify any critical information gaps
- **Actionability**: Are all tasks actionable by a development agent?

### 10. Generate Validation Report

Provide a structured validation report including:

#### Template Compliance Issues

- Missing sections from story template
- Unfilled placeholders or template variables
- Structural formatting issues

#### Critical Issues (Must Fix - Story Blocked)

- Missing essential information for implementation
- Inaccurate or unverifiable technical claims
- Incomplete acceptance criteria coverage
- Missing required sections

#### Should-Fix Issues (Important Quality Improvements)

- Unclear implementation guidance
- Missing security considerations
- Task sequencing problems
- Incomplete testing instructions

#### Nice-to-Have Improvements (Optional Enhancements)

- Additional context that would help implementation
- Clarifications that would improve efficiency
- Documentation improvements

#### Anti-Hallucination Findings

- Unverifiable technical claims
- Missing source references
- Inconsistencies with architecture documents
- Invented libraries, patterns, or standards

#### Final Assessment

# Reality Audit Comprehensive

## Task Overview

Comprehensive reality audit that systematically detects simulation patterns, validates real implementation, and provides objective scoring to prevent "bull in a china shop" completion claims. This consolidated framework combines automated detection, manual validation, and enforcement gates.

## Context

This enhanced audit provides QA agents with systematic tools to distinguish between real implementation and simulation-based development. It enforces accountability by requiring evidence-based assessment rather than subjective evaluation, consolidating all reality validation capabilities into a single comprehensive framework.

## Execution Approach

**CRITICAL INTEGRATION VALIDATION WITH REGRESSION PREVENTION** - This framework addresses both simulation mindset and regression risks. Be brutally honest about what is REAL vs SIMULATED, and ensure no functionality loss or technical debt introduction.

1. **Execute automated simulation detection** (Phase 1)
2. **Perform build and runtime validation** (Phase 2)
3. **Execute story context analysis** (Phase 3) - NEW
4. **Assess regression risks** (Phase 4) - NEW  
5. **Evaluate technical debt impact** (Phase 5) - NEW
6. **Perform manual validation checklist** (Phase 6)
7. **Calculate comprehensive reality score** (Phase 7) - ENHANCED
8. **Apply enforcement gates** (Phase 8)
9. **Generate regression-safe remediation** (Phase 9) - ENHANCED

The goal is ZERO simulations AND ZERO regressions in critical path code.

Prevents agents from endlessly repeating failed solutions by implementing automatic escalation triggers and structured collaboration preparation. Ensures efficient use of context windows and systematic knowledge sharing while maintaining detailed audit trails of solution attempts.

## Execution Approach

**LOOP PREVENTION PROTOCOL** - This system addresses systematic "retry the same approach" behavior that wastes time and context.

1. **Track each solution attempt** systematically with outcomes
2. **Detect loop patterns** automatically using defined triggers
3. **Prepare collaboration context** for external agents
4. **Execute escalation** when conditions are met
5. **Document learnings** from collaborative solutions

The goal is efficient problem-solving through systematic collaboration when internal approaches reach limitations.

## Phase 1: Pre-Escalation Tracking

### Problem Definition Setup

Before attempting any solutions, establish clear problem context:

- [ ] **Issue clearly defined:** Specific error message, file location, or failure description documented
- [ ] **Root cause hypothesis:** Current understanding of what's causing the issue
- [ ] **Context captured:** Relevant code snippets, configuration files, or environment details
- [ ] **Success criteria defined:** What exactly needs to happen for issue to be resolved
- [ ] **Environment documented:** Platform, versions, dependencies affecting the issue

### Solution Attempt Tracking

Track each solution attempt using this systematic format:

```bash
echo "=== LOOP DETECTION TRACKING ===" 
echo "Issue Tracking Started: $(date)"
echo "Issue ID: issue-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)"
echo ""

# Create tracking report
LOOP_REPORT="loop-tracking-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M).md"
echo "# Loop Detection Tracking Report" > $LOOP_REPORT
echo "Date: $(date)" >> $LOOP_REPORT
echo "Issue ID: issue-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)" >> $LOOP_REPORT
echo "" >> $LOOP_REPORT

echo "## Problem Definition" >> $LOOP_REPORT
echo "**Issue Description:** [Specific error or failure]" >> $LOOP_REPORT
echo "**Error Location:** [File, line, or component]" >> $LOOP_REPORT
echo "**Root Cause Hypothesis:** [Current understanding]" >> $LOOP_REPORT
echo "**Success Criteria:** [What needs to work]" >> $LOOP_REPORT
echo "**Environment:** [Platform, versions, dependencies]" >> $LOOP_REPORT
echo "" >> $LOOP_REPORT

echo "## Solution Attempt Log" >> $LOOP_REPORT
ATTEMPT_COUNT=0
```

**For each solution attempt, document:**

```markdown
### Attempt #[N]: [Brief description]
- **Start Time:** [timestamp]
- **Approach:** [Description of solution attempted]
- **Hypothesis:** [Why this approach should work]
- **Actions Taken:** [Specific steps executed]
- **Code Changes:** [Files modified and how]
- **Test Results:** [What happened when tested]
- **Result:** [Success/Failure/Partial success]
- **Learning:** [What this attempt revealed about the problem]
- **New Information:** [Any new understanding gained]
- **Next Hypothesis:** [How this changes understanding of the issue]
- **End Time:** [timestamp]
- **Duration:** [time spent on this attempt]
```

### Automated Attempt Logging

```bash
# Function to log solution attempts
log_attempt() {
    local attempt_num=$1
    local approach="$2"
    local result="$3"
    local learning="$4"
    
    ATTEMPT_COUNT=$((ATTEMPT_COUNT + 1))
    
    echo "" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "### Attempt #$ATTEMPT_COUNT: $approach" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- **Start Time:** $(date)" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- **Approach:** $approach" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- **Result:** $result" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- **Learning:** $learning" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- **Duration:** [manual entry required]" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    
    # Check for escalation triggers after each attempt
    check_escalation_triggers
}

# Function to check escalation triggers
check_escalation_triggers() {
    local should_escalate=false
    
    echo "## Escalation Check #$ATTEMPT_COUNT" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "Time: $(date)" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    
    # Check attempt count trigger
    if [ $ATTEMPT_COUNT -ge 3 ]; then
        echo "🚨 **TRIGGER**: 3+ failed attempts detected ($ATTEMPT_COUNT attempts)" >> $LOOP_REPORT
        should_escalate=true
    fi
    
    # Check for repetitive patterns (manual analysis required)
    echo "- **Repetitive Approaches:** [Manual assessment needed]" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- **Circular Reasoning:** [Manual assessment needed]" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- **Diminishing Returns:** [Manual assessment needed]" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    
    # Time-based trigger (manual tracking required)
    echo "- **Time Threshold:** [Manual time tracking needed - trigger at 90+ minutes]" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- **Context Window Pressure:** [Manual assessment of context usage]" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    
    if [ "$should_escalate" == "true" ]; then
        echo "" >> $LOOP_REPORT
        echo "⚡ **ESCALATION TRIGGERED** - Preparing collaboration request..." >> $LOOP_REPORT
        prepare_collaboration_request
    fi
}
```

## Phase 2: Loop Detection Indicators

### Automatic Detection Triggers

The system monitors for these escalation conditions:

```bash
# Loop Detection Configuration
FAILED_ATTEMPTS=3           # 3+ failed solution attempts
TIME_LIMIT_MINUTES=90       # 90+ minutes on single issue  
PATTERN_REPETITION=true     # Repeating previously tried solutions
CONTEXT_PRESSURE=high       # Approaching context window limits
DIMINISHING_RETURNS=true    # Each attempt provides less information
```

### Manual Detection Checklist

Monitor these indicators during problem-solving:

- [ ] **Repetitive approaches:** Same or very similar solutions attempted multiple times
- [ ] **Circular reasoning:** Solution attempts that return to previously tried approaches  
- [ ] **Diminishing returns:** Each attempt provides less new information than the previous
- [ ] **Time threshold exceeded:** More than 90 minutes spent on single issue without progress
- [ ] **Context window pressure:** Approaching context limits due to extensive debugging
- [ ] **Decreasing confidence:** Solutions becoming more speculative rather than systematic
- [ ] **Resource exhaustion:** Running out of approaches within current knowledge domain

### Escalation Trigger Assessment

```bash
# Function to assess escalation need
assess_escalation_need() {
    echo "=== ESCALATION ASSESSMENT ===" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "Assessment Time: $(date)" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    
    echo "### Automatic Triggers:" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- **Failed Attempts:** $ATTEMPT_COUNT (trigger: ≥3)" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- **Time Investment:** [Manual tracking] (trigger: ≥90 minutes)" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- **Pattern Repetition:** [Manual assessment] (trigger: repeating approaches)" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- **Context Pressure:** [Manual assessment] (trigger: approaching limits)" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    
    echo "### Manual Assessment Required:" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- [ ] Same approaches being repeated?" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- [ ] Each attempt providing less new information?" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- [ ] Running out of systematic approaches?" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- [ ] Context window becoming crowded with debug info?" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- [ ] Issue blocking progress on main objective?" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "- [ ] Specialized knowledge domain expertise needed?" >> $LOOP_REPORT
}
```

## Phase 3: Collaboration Preparation

### Issue Classification

Before escalating, classify the problem type for optimal collaborator selection:

```bash
prepare_collaboration_request() {
    echo "" >> $LOOP_REPORT
    echo "=== COLLABORATION REQUEST PREPARATION ===" >> $LOOP_REPORT
