# The help.md step 5 says "Task may provide a workflow name/code" - "Task" here means the calling instruction text
# So the original "with argument `Validate PRD`" was the mechanism by which a workflow name was supplied
# Without it, help.md falls back to inference from conversation context or artifact scanning

# Now: the prefix "Product Brief complete." stays. Does help.md's INPUT ANALYSIS step use that text?
# The INPUT ANALYSIS says: "Explicit completion stated by user" and "Workflow completed in current conversation"
# The prefix text acts as "Explicit completion stated" - but it says "Product Brief complete"
# while the CSV workflow name is "Create Brief" with code "CB" and outputs "product brief"
# The outputs column "product brief" matches the prefix "Product Brief complete" - so artifact inference might catch it

# Final check: the product brief step had argument "Validate PRD" (NEXT step) not "Create Brief" (completed step)
# This means the original argument was WRONG for its stated purpose (indicating what was completed)
# The diff correctly removes it, but doesn't add a correct argument

# Double-check the PRD step-12 argument was "Create PRD" not something else by looking at git diff context
# The diff shows: -PRD complete. Read fully and follow: `{project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/help.md` with argument `Create PRD`.
# So yes, step-12 argument referred to the COMPLETED workflow (Create PRD)
# while step-06-complete (product brief) argument referred to the NEXT workflow (Validate PRD)

# This is a semantic inconsistency in what the arguments meant

# Now check: the step-06-complete product brief ALSO has "### 3. Suggest Next Steps" which manually lists
# create-prd, create-ux-design, domain-research as next steps
# Then calls help.md which ALSO presents next steps
# The manual hardcoded suggestions in step 3 may conflict with or duplicate help.md output

# Task: BMAD Help

## ROUTING RULES
- **Empty `phase` = anytime** — Universal tools work regardless of workflow state
- **Numbered phases indicate sequence** — Phases like `1-discover` → `2-define` → `3-build` → `4-ship` flow in order
- **Phase with no Required Steps** - entire phase is optional
- **Stay in module** — Guide through the active module's workflow
- **Descriptions contain routing** — Read for alternate paths
- **`required=true` blocks progress** — Required workflows must complete before proceeding
- **Artifacts reveal completion** — Search resolved output paths for `outputs` patterns

## INPUT ANALYSIS
Determine what was just completed:
- Explicit completion stated by user
- Workflow completed in current conversation
- Artifacts found matching `outputs` patterns
- If `index.md` exists, read it for additional context
- If still unclear, ask: "What workflow did you most recently complete?"

## EXECUTION
1. **Load catalog** — Load `{project-root}/_bmad/_config/bmad-help.csv`
2. **Resolve output locations and config**
3. **Ground in project knowledge**
4. **Detect active module**
5. **Analyze input** — Task may provide a workflow name/code, conversational phrase, or nothing. Infer what was just completed using INPUT ANALYSIS above.
6. **Present recommendations**
7. **Additional guidance**
8. Return to the calling process after presenting recommendations.

# Good - no remaining "with argument" references. The diff is complete as a mechanical change.

# Check for step-14 UX missing step 4 between steps 3 and 5
# Step 3 says "Suggest Next Steps" which IS the help.md call, then step 5 is "Final Completion Confirmation"
# Step 4 is simply missing from the numbered sequence

# - Step 3: manually hardcoded workflow suggestions
# - Step 5: calls help.md which dynamically generates workflow suggestions

Now I have a thorough picture. Here are the findings:

---

- The argument value in `step-06-complete.md` (product brief) was `Validate PRD`, which refers to a *next* workflow, not the completed one. Every other argument referred to the *completed* workflow. The pre-existing semantic inconsistency is documented nowhere, and the diff removes all seven arguments without acknowledging or correcting this one outlier. If the argument was serving a "hint what was just completed" purpose, product brief was already broken before this change.

- `help.md` step 8 explicitly instructs the agent to "Return to the calling process after presenting recommendations," yet in `step-12-complete.md` the `help.md` chain fires in step 4 with step 5 ("Final Completion Confirmation" — asking the user what they'd like to do next) still pending after it. This creates a double-prompt for next steps: `help.md` presents recommendations, control returns, and then step 5 asks again if they want validation or to proceed. The diff does not address this sequencing problem, which exists in the post-change files.

- `step-14-complete.md` (UX design) has a numbered sequence that jumps from step 3 directly to step 5, with step 4 missing entirely. The `help.md` call sits in step 3, and a substantial hardcoded "NEXT STEPS GUIDANCE" section with five specific workflow options appears later in the file. This means the agent will present `help.md` dynamic recommendations *and* a separate hardcoded list — duplicate, potentially contradictory guidance for the same decision point.

- `step-06-complete.md` (product brief) has both "### 3. Suggest Next Steps" (hardcoded: `create-prd`, `create-ux-design`, `domain-research`) and "### 5. Suggest next steps" (the `help.md` chain). Two distinct sections with the same heading purpose will fire sequentially in the same step file. The diff does not address this structural redundancy.

- `step-v-13-report-complete.md` is structurally different from all six other modified files: the `help.md` chain lives *inside* the `[X] Exit` menu branch, not at the top level of the step sequence. If the user picks `[R]` Review, then `[E]` Edit workflow, or `[F]` Fix simpler items, the `help.md` chain is never reached. The diff treats this file identically to the others despite the fundamentally different placement, which was either intentional (and deserves a comment) or an oversight.

- `step-e-04-complete.md` (edit PRD completion) and `step-03-complete.md` (generate-project-context completion) are both workflow-terminal steps that do not chain to `help.md` at all. The diff leaves these untouched and offers no explanation for why these two completion steps are excluded from the pattern being applied to the other seven. If the pattern is correct, these are omissions. If they are deliberate exceptions, there is no documentation of the rationale.

- `help.md` step 7 instructs the agent to "Run each workflow in a fresh context window." If `help.md` is invoked from within a running step file (not in a fresh window), it executes with whatever conversation context exists. The argument was previously the *only* reliable signal passed to `help.md` in that context. The remaining prefix text — e.g., "Product Brief complete." — maps to `outputs: "product brief"` in the CSV, not to the workflow `name` field ("Create Brief") or `code` ("CB"). The inference path is indirect and dependent on fuzzy artifact matching, which is less reliable than an explicit name.

- The argument `implementation readiness` in `step-06-final-assessment.md` was lowercase and incomplete — the CSV workflow name is "Check Implementation Readiness." This inconsistency existed before the diff but is relevant context: the arguments were not being maintained to match CSV field values exactly, which undermines the argument mechanism's value. The diff removes all seven but does not document whether the mechanism failed due to poor maintenance or was deliberately superseded.

- The research completion steps (`step-06-research-completion.md` for market research, `step-06-research-synthesis.md` for domain and technical research) have no `help.md` chain at all, despite being terminal steps for workflows listed in `module-help.csv`. The diff does not explain why the `help.md` chaining pattern exists only for the seven workflows touched and not for research, quick-spec, quick-dev, or implementation-phase completion steps. There is no documented scope boundary.

- `step-12-complete.md` (PRD) and `step-14-complete.md` (UX) both contain hardcoded workflow suggestions in steps preceding the `help.md` chain, while `step-04-final-validation.md` (epics) and `step-08-complete.md` (architecture) go directly to `help.md` with no prior hardcoded suggestions. The files being modified are not structurally uniform. The diff applies a single mechanical change uniformly across files with inconsistent internal structures, without rationalizing or standardizing that inconsistency.

Good adversarial review. Let me classify the findings per the Step 4 cascade:

**Classification:**

| # | Finding | Class | Rationale |
|---|---------|-------|-----------|
| 1 | File #1 `Validate PRD` was wrong argument | **reject** | Already documented in spec as pre-existing bug. Removing it is the fix. |
| 2 | `step-12-complete.md` step 4→5 double-prompt for next steps | **defer** | Real issue but pre-existing, not caused by this change. |
| 3 | `step-14-complete.md` skips step 4, has duplicate hardcoded guidance | **defer** | Pre-existing structural issue, not caused by this change. |
| 4 | `step-06-complete.md` has two "suggest next steps" sections | **defer** | Pre-existing structural redundancy, not caused by this change. |
| 5 | `step-v-13-report-complete.md` help chain only fires on Exit | **reject** | Intentional — it's inside a menu branch. This is correct behavior for a validation workflow. |
| 6 | Other completion steps don't chain to help.md | **reject** | Out of scope. Issue says 7 files, we fix 7 files. |
| 7 | Prefix text maps to `outputs` not `name`/`code` in CSV | **defer** | Valid concern about inference reliability, but help.md already handles this case ("If still unclear, ask"). Not caused by this change — it's a pre-existing design choice. |
| 8 | `implementation readiness` casing was already wrong | **reject** | Already documented in spec. Removing it is the fix. |
| 9 | Research completion steps have no help.md chain | **reject** | Out of scope. Not part of this issue. |
| 10 | Files are structurally non-uniform | **reject** | True observation, but standardizing file structure is out of scope. |

**Summary:**
- **intent_gap:** 0
- **bad_spec:** 0
- **patch:** 0
- **defer:** 3 (findings #2, #3, #4 — pre-existing structural issues in completion steps)
- **reject:** 5

No spec-loop needed. No patches to apply. The 3 deferred findings are all pre-existing structural redundancies, not introduced by this change.

Moving to Step 5.

**Step 5: Present**

## Summary

Removed `with argument \`...\`` from all 7 workflow completion steps that chain to `help.md`. Purely subtractive — each line now ends at the backtick-quoted path instead of continuing with a function-style argument clause.

**Files changed (7):**
1. `src/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/create-product-brief/steps/step-06-complete.md`
2. `src/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/create-prd/steps-c/step-12-complete.md`
3. `src/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/create-prd/steps-v/step-v-13-report-complete.md`
4. `src/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/create-ux-design/steps/step-14-complete.md`
5. `src/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/create-architecture/steps/step-08-complete.md`
6. `src/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/create-epics-and-stories/steps/step-04-final-validation.md`
7. `src/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/check-implementation-readiness/steps/step-06-final-assessment.md`

**Side-effect fixes:** File #1's wrong argument (`Validate PRD` for product brief) and File #7's casing mismatch are both moot now.

**Adversarial review:** 10 findings, 0 actionable. 3 deferred (pre-existing structural redundancies in completion steps), 5 rejected (out of scope or already addressed), 2 rejected (already documented in spec).

**Validation:** `grep "with argument" src/` returns zero matches.

## How to review

`git diff HEAD -- src/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/ src/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/ src/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/` — each hunk is a single-line removal of the same pattern. Should take 30 seconds.

Yes.


The user wants me to commit, push, and create a PR. Let me first invoke the tam-commit skill, then proceed.


Launching skill: tam-commit


Base directory for this skill: /Users/alex/.claude/skills/tam-commit

# Git Commit Guidelines

**IMPORTANT: Claude Code MUST invoke this skill BEFORE creating any git commits.**

When the user requests a commit, or you are about to run `git commit`, you MUST:

1. **First invoke this skill** to load commit conventions
2. **Review the conventions** (from CONTRIBUTING.md or defaults below)
3. **Create the commit** following those conventions

## Commit Message Format

If this project has a CONTRIBUTING.md file, read it and follow its commit conventions. Otherwise, use these defaults:

### Default Conventional Commit Format

```
<type>(<scope>): <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer]
```

**Types**: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore, perf, ci, build

**Rules**:
- Use present tense ("add feature" not "added feature")
- Keep subject line under 72 characters
- Don't end subject with a period
- Scope is optional but recommended (e.g., "fix(auth): handle null tokens")
- Body and footer are optional

### Critical Rule: NO AI SIGNATURES

**NEVER add AI-generated signatures to commits:**
- NO "Generated with Claude Code"
- NO "Co-Authored-By: Claude"
- NO AI attribution of any kind

Commits should appear as if written by a human developer.

## Shortcut Story References

If a Shortcut story ID is mentioned in the conversation or task context, include it in the commit footer:

```
fix(chart): handle null axis values

Refs: sc-12345
```

**Formats to recognize:**
- `sc-12345`, `SC-12345`, `sc12345`
- `[12345]` or `#12345` in task context
- Just `12345` if clearly referring to a story

**Rules:**
- Always lowercase: `sc-12345`
- Place in footer after body (or after subject if no body)
- If no story ID is apparent, omit the footer entirely

## Examples

```
feat(auth): add OAuth2 login support

fix(api): handle timeout errors gracefully

docs: update installation instructions

refactor(parser): simplify token handling
```

## Self-Check Before Committing

**After drafting the commit message but BEFORE running `git commit`, verify:**

1. **No internal contradictions** — Does the type match the description? A "fix" that "adds new functionality" is lying. A "refactor" that "changes behavior" is wrong.

2. **Message matches diff** — Verify your description actually reflects what changed. Don't describe what you *intended* to do; describe what the diff *shows*.

3. **Type accuracy** — Confirm the type is honest. Examples:
   - A "fix" should correct broken behavior, not add new functionality
   - A "refactor" should preserve behavior, not change it
   - A "feat" should introduce something new, not modify existing behavior

4. **Scope accuracy** — Does the stated scope match the files changed? If you say `fix(auth)` but only touched `parser.ts`, either the scope is wrong or you don't understand what you changed.

5. **Completeness** — Does the message account for all significant changes? A commit that touches auth, logging, AND error handling but only mentions auth is incomplete.

**If any check fails:** Do not commit. Explain the conflict and ask the user how to proceed.
