D) Continue with general knowledge

1. **Epic Breakdown** (Required)
|
|
Run: `workflow create-epics-and-stories` to decompose requirements into implementable stories
|
|
|
|
2. **UX Design** (If UI exists)
|
|
Run: `workflow ux-design` for detailed user experience design
|
|
|
|
3. **Architecture** (Recommended)
|
|
Run: `workflow create-architecture` for technical architecture decisions
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 4. FR Coverage Validation (CRITICAL)
|
|
|
|
### Complete Traceability
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Every FR from PRD.md is covered by at least one story in epics.md**

### Epic 1 Foundation Check
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Epic 1 establishes foundational infrastructure**
|
|
- [ ] Epic 1 delivers initial deployable functionality

|
|
- [ ] No "build database" or "create UI" stories in isolation
|
|
- [ ] Stories integrate across stack (data + logic + presentation when applicable)
|
|
- [ ] Each story leaves system in working/deployable state
|
|
|
|
### No Forward Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **No story depends on work from a LATER story or epic**
|
|
- [ ] Stories within each epic are sequentially ordered
|
|
- [ ] Each story builds only on previous work
|
|
- [ ] Dependencies flow backward only (can reference earlier stories)
|
|
- [ ] Parallel tracks clearly indicated if stories are independent
|
|
|
|
### Value Delivery Path

|
|
- [ ] User can see value after each epic completion
|
|
- [ ] MVP scope clearly achieved by end of designated epics
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 6. Scope Management
|
|
|
|
### MVP Discipline
|
|
|
|
- [ ] MVP scope is genuinely minimal and viable
|
|
- [ ] Core features list contains only true must-haves
|
|
- [ ] Each MVP feature has clear rationale for inclusion
|
|
- [ ] No obvious scope creep in "must-have" list
|
|
|
|
### Future Work Captured
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Growth features documented for post-MVP
|
|
- [ ] Vision features captured to maintain long-term direction
|
|
- [ ] Out-of-scope items explicitly listed
|
|
- [ ] Deferred features have clear reasoning for deferral
|
|
|
|
### Clear Boundaries
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Stories marked as MVP vs Growth vs Vision
|
|
- [ ] Epic sequencing aligns with MVP → Growth progression
|
|
- [ ] No confusion about what's in vs out of initial scope

|
|
## Critical Failures (Auto-Fail)
|
|
|
|
If ANY of these are true, validation FAILS:
|
|
|
|
- [ ] ❌ **No epics.md file exists** (two-file output required)
|
|
- [ ] ❌ **Epic 1 doesn't establish foundation** (violates core sequencing principle)
|
|
- [ ] ❌ **Stories have forward dependencies** (breaks sequential implementation)
|
|
- [ ] ❌ **Stories not vertically sliced** (horizontal layers block value delivery)
|
|
- [ ] ❌ **Epics don't cover all FRs** (orphaned requirements)
|
|
- [ ] ❌ **FRs contain technical implementation details** (should be in architecture)
|
|
- [ ] ❌ **No FR traceability to stories** (can't validate coverage)
|
|
- [ ] ❌ **Template variables unfilled** (incomplete document)
|
|

## Validation Execution Notes
|
|
|
|
**When validating:**
|
|
|
|
1. **Load ALL documents:**
|
|
- PRD.md (required)
|
|
- epics.md (required)
|
|
- product-brief.md (if exists)
|
|
- domain-brief.md (if exists)
|
|
- research documents (if referenced)
|
|
|
|
2. **Validate in order:**
|
|
- Check critical failures first (immediate stop if any found)
|
|
- Verify PRD completeness
|
|
- Verify epics completeness
|
|
- Cross-reference FR coverage (most important)
|
|
- Check sequencing (second most important)
|
|
- Validate research integration
|
|
- Check polish and quality
|
|
|
|
3. **Report findings:**
|
|
- List critical failures prominently
|
|
- Group issues by severity
|
|
- Provide specific line numbers/sections
|
|
- Suggest concrete fixes
|
|
- Highlight what's working well
|
|
|
|
4. **Provide actionable next steps:**
|
|
- If validation passes: "Ready for architecture workflow"
|
|
- If minor issues: "Fix [X] items then re-validate"
|
|
- If major issues: "Rework [sections] then re-validate"
|
|
- If critical failures: "Must fix critical items before proceeding"
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
**Remember:** This validation ensures the entire planning phase is complete and the implementation phase has everything needed to succeed. Be thorough but fair - the goal is quality, not perfection.

|
|
<action>Welcome {user_name} to epic and story planning
|
|
|
|
Load required documents (fuzzy match, handle both whole and sharded):
|
|
|
|
- PRD.md (required)
|
|
- domain-brief.md (if exists)
|
|
- product-brief.md (if exists)
|
|
|
|
Extract from PRD:
|
|
|
|
- All functional requirements
|
|
- Non-functional requirements
|
|
- Domain considerations and compliance needs
|
|
- Project type and complexity
|
|
- MVP vs growth vs vision scope boundaries
|
|
|
|
Understand the context:
|
|
|
|
- What makes this product special (the magic)
|
|
- Technical constraints
|
|
- User types and their goals
|
|
- Success criteria</action>
|
|
</step>
|
|
|
|
<step n="2" goal="Propose epic structure from natural groupings">
|
|
<action>Analyze requirements and identify natural epic boundaries
|
|
|
|
INTENT: Find organic groupings that make sense for THIS product
|
|
|
|
Look for natural patterns:
|
|
|
|
- Features that work together cohesively
|
|
- User journeys that connect
|
|
- Business capabilities that cluster
|
|
- Domain requirements that relate (compliance, validation, security)
|
|
- Technical systems that should be built together
|
|
|
|
Name epics based on VALUE, not technical layers:
|
|
|
|
- Good: "User Onboarding", "Content Discovery", "Compliance Framework"
|
|
- Avoid: "Database Layer", "API Endpoints", "Frontend"
|
|
|
|
Each epic should:
|
|
|
|
- Have clear business goal and user value
|
|
- Be independently valuable
|
|
- Contain 3-8 related capabilities
|
|
- Be deliverable in cohesive phase
|
|
|
|
For greenfield projects:
|
|
|
|
- First epic MUST establish foundation (project setup, core infrastructure, deployment pipeline)
|
|
- Foundation enables all subsequent work
|
|
|
|
For complex domains:
|
|
|
|
- Consider dedicated compliance/regulatory epics
|
|
- Group validation and safety requirements logically
|
|
- Note expertise requirements
|
|
|
|
Present proposed epic structure showing:
|
|
|
|
- Epic titles with clear value statements
|
|
- High-level scope of each epic
|
|
- Suggested sequencing

<action>Break down Epic {{N}} into small, implementable stories
|
|
|
|
INTENT: Create stories sized for single dev agent completion
|
|
|
|
For each epic, generate:
|
|
|
|
- Epic title as `epic_title_{{N}}`
|
|
- Epic goal/value as `epic_goal_{{N}}`
|
|
- All stories as repeated pattern `story_title_{{N}}_{{M}}` for each story M
|
|
|
|
CRITICAL for Epic 1 (Foundation):
|
|
|
|
- Story 1.1 MUST be project setup/infrastructure initialization
|
|
- Sets up: repo structure, build system, deployment pipeline basics, core dependencies
|
|
- Creates foundation for all subsequent stories
|
|
- Note: Architecture workflow will flesh out technical details
|
|
|
|
Each story should follow BDD-style acceptance criteria:
|
|
|
|
**Story Pattern:**
|
|
As a [user type],
|
|
I want [specific capability],
|
|
So that [clear value/benefit].
|
|
|
|
**Acceptance Criteria using BDD:**
|
|
Given [precondition or initial state]
|
|
When [action or trigger]
|
|
Then [expected outcome]
|
|
|
|
And [additional criteria as needed]
|
|
|
|
**Prerequisites:** Only previous stories (never forward dependencies)
|
|
|
|
**Technical Notes:** Implementation guidance, affected components, compliance requirements
|
|
|
|
Ensure stories are:
|
|
|
|
- Vertically sliced (deliver complete functionality, not just one layer)
|
|
- Sequentially ordered (logical progression, no forward dependencies)
|
|
- Independently valuable when possible
|
|
- Small enough for single-session completion
|
|
- Clear enough for autonomous implementation
|
|
|
|
For each story in epic {{N}}, output variables following this pattern:
|
|
|
|
- story*title*{{N}}_1, story_title_{{N}}\_2, etc.
|
|
- Each containing: user story, BDD acceptance criteria, prerequisites, technical notes</action>

"I'm going to gather all available context about your project before we dive into the technical spec. This includes:
|
|
|
|
- Any existing documentation (product briefs, research)
|
|
- Brownfield codebase analysis (if applicable)
|
|
- Your project's tech stack and dependencies
|
|
- Existing code patterns and structure
|
|
|

This ensures the tech-spec is grounded in reality and gives developers everything they need."
|
|
</action>
|
|
|
|
<action>**PHASE 1: Load Existing Documents**
|
|
|
|
Search for and load (using dual-strategy: whole first, then sharded):
|
|
|
|
1. **Product Brief:**
|
|
- Search pattern: {output*folder}/\_brief*.md
|
|
- Sharded: {output*folder}/\_brief*/index.md
|
|
- If found: Load completely and extract key context
|
|
|
|
2. **Research Documents:**
|
|
- Search pattern: {output*folder}/\_research*.md
|
|
- Sharded: {output*folder}/\_research*/index.md
|
|
- If found: Load completely and extract insights
|
|
|
|
3. **Document-Project Output (CRITICAL for brownfield):**
|
|
- Always check: {output_folder}/docs/index.md
|
|
- If found: This is the brownfield codebase map - load ALL shards!
|
|
- Extract: File structure, key modules, existing patterns, naming conventions
|
|
|
|
Create a summary of what was found:
|
|
|
|
- List of loaded documents
|
|
- Key insights from each
|
|
- Brownfield vs greenfield determination
|
|
</action>
|
|
|
|
<action>**PHASE 2: Detect Project Type from Setup Files**
|
|
|
|
Search for project setup files in :
|
|
|
|
**Node.js/JavaScript:**
|
|
|
|
- package.json → Parse for framework, dependencies, scripts
|
|
|
|
**Python:**
|
|
|
|
- requirements.txt → Parse for packages
|
|
- pyproject.toml → Parse for modern Python projects
|
|
- Pipfile → Parse for pipenv projects
|
|
|
|
**Ruby:**
|
|
|
|
- Gemfile → Parse for gems and versions
|
|
|
|
**Java:**
|
|
|
|
- pom.xml → Parse for Maven dependencies
|
|
- build.gradle → Parse for Gradle dependencies
|
|
|
|
**Go:**
|
|
|
|
- go.mod → Parse for modules
|
|
|
|
**Rust:**
|
|
|
|
- Cargo.toml → Parse for crates
|
|
|
|
**PHP:**
|
|
|
|
- composer.json → Parse for packages
|
|
|
|
If setup file found, extract:
|
|
|
|
1. Framework name and EXACT version (e.g., "React 18.2.0", "Django 4.2.1")
|
|
2. All production dependencies with versions
|
|
3. Dev dependencies and tools (TypeScript, Jest, ESLint, pytest, etc.)
|
|
4. Available scripts (npm run test, npm run build, etc.)
|
|
5. Project type indicators (is it an API? Web app? CLI tool?)
|
|
6. **Test framework** (Jest, pytest, RSpec, JUnit, Mocha, etc.)
|
|
|
|
**Check for Outdated Dependencies:**
|
|
<check if="major framework version > 2 years old">
|
|
<action>Use WebSearch to find current recommended version</action>
|
|
<example>
|
|
If package.json shows "react": "16.14.0" (from 2020):
|
|
<WebSearch query="React latest stable version 2025 migration guide" />
|
|
Note both current version AND migration complexity in stack summary
|
|
</example>
|
|
</check>
|
|
|
|
**For Greenfield Projects:**
|
|
<check if="field_type == greenfield">
|
|
<action>Use WebSearch for current best practices AND starter templates</action>
|
|
<example>
|
|
<WebSearch query="{detected_framework} best practices {current_year}" />
|
|
<WebSearch query="{detected_framework} recommended packages {current_year}" />
|
|
<WebSearch query="{detected_framework} official starter template {current_year}" />
|
|
<WebSearch query="{project_type} {detected_framework} boilerplate {current_year}" />
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
**RECOMMEND STARTER TEMPLATES:**
|
|
Look for official or well-maintained starter templates:
|
|

<check if="field_type == brownfield OR document-project output found">
|
|
|
|
Analyze the existing project structure:
|
|
|
|
1. **Directory Structure:**
|
|
- Identify main code directories (src/, lib/, app/, components/, services/)
|
|
- Note organization patterns (feature-based, layer-based, domain-driven)
|
|
- Identify test directories and patterns
|
|
|
|
2. **Code Patterns:**
|
|
- Look for dominant patterns (class-based, functional, MVC, microservices)
|
|
- Identify naming conventions (camelCase, snake_case, PascalCase)
|
|
- Note file organization patterns
|
|
|
|
3. **Key Modules/Services:**
|
|
- Identify major modules or services already in place
|
|
- Note entry points (main.js, app.py, index.ts)
|
|
- Document important utilities or shared code
|
|
|
|
4. **Testing Patterns & Standards (CRITICAL):**
|
|
- Identify test framework in use (from package.json/requirements.txt)
|
|
- Note test file naming patterns (.test.js, \_test.py, .spec.ts, Test.java)
|
|
- Document test organization (tests/, **tests**, spec/, test/)
|
|
- Look for test configuration files (jest.config.js, pytest.ini, .rspec)
|
|
- Check for coverage requirements (in CI config, test scripts)
|
|
- Identify mocking/stubbing libraries (jest.mock, unittest.mock, sinon)
|
|
- Note assertion styles (expect, assert, should)
|
|
|
|
5. **Code Style & Conventions (MUST CONFORM):**
|
|
- Check for linter config (.eslintrc, .pylintrc, rubocop.yml)
|
|
- Check for formatter config (.prettierrc, .black, .editorconfig)
|
|
- Identify code style:
|
|
- Semicolons: yes/no (JavaScript/TypeScript)
|
|
- Quotes: single/double
|
|
- Indentation: spaces/tabs, size
|
|
- Line length limits
|
|
- Import/export patterns (named vs default, organization)
|
|
- Error handling patterns (try/catch, Result types, error classes)
|
|
- Logging patterns (console, winston, logging module, specific formats)
|
|
- Documentation style (JSDoc, docstrings, YARD, JavaDoc)
|
|

**What Makes This Tech-Spec Special:**
|
|
|
|
The tech-spec is comprehensive enough to serve as the primary context document:
|
|
|
|
- ✨ Brownfield codebase analysis (if applicable)
|
|
- ✨ Exact framework and library versions from your project
|
|
- ✨ Existing patterns and code references
|
|
- ✨ Specific file paths and integration points
|
|
- ✨ Complete developer resources
|
|
|
|
**Next Steps:**
|
|
|
|
<check if="project_level == 0">
|
|
**For Single Story (Level 0):**
|
|
|
|
**Option A - With Story Context (for complex changes):**
|
|
|
|
1. Ask SM agent to run `create-story-context` for the story
|
|
- This generates additional XML context if needed
|
|
2. Then ask DEV agent to run `dev-story` to implement
|
|
|
|
**Option B - Direct to Dev (most Level 0):**
|
|
|
|
1. Ask DEV agent to run `dev-story` directly
|
|
- Tech-spec provides all the context needed!
|
|
- Story is ready to implement
|
|
|
|
💡 **Tip:** Most Level 0 changes don't need separate story context since tech-spec is comprehensive!
|
|
</check>
|
|
|
|
<check if="project_level == 1">
|
|
**For Multiple Stories (Level 1):**
|
|
|
|
**Recommended: Story-by-Story Approach**
|
|
|
|
For the **first story** ({{first_story_name}}):
|
|
|
|
**Option A - With Story Context (recommended for first story):**
|
|
|
|
1. Ask SM agent to run `create-story-context` for story 1
|
|
- Generates focused context for this specific story
|
|
2. Then ask DEV agent to run `dev-story` to implement story 1
|
|
|
|
**Option B - Direct to Dev:**
|
|
|
|
1. Ask DEV agent to run `dev-story` for story 1
|
|
- Tech-spec has most context needed
|
|
|
|
After completing story 1, repeat for stories 2 and 3.
|
|
|
|
**Alternative: Sprint Planning Approach**
|
|
|
|
- If managing multiple stories as a sprint, ask SM agent to run `sprint-planning`
|
|
- This organizes all stories for coordinated implementation
|
|
</check>
|
|
|
|
**Your Tech-Spec:**
|
|
|
|
- 📄 Saved to: `{output_folder}/tech-spec.md`
|
|
- Contains: All context, decisions, patterns, and implementation guidance
|
|
- Ready for: Direct development or story context generation
|
|
|
|
The tech-spec is your single source of truth! 🚀

**Story Point Estimation:**
|
|
- 1 point = < 1 day (2-4 hours)
|
|
- 2 points = 1-2 days
|
|
- 3 points = 2-3 days
|
|
- 5 points = 3-5 days (if this high, question if truly Level 0)
|
|
|
|
**Story Title Best Practices:**
|
|
|
|
- Use active, user-focused language
|
|
- Describe WHAT is delivered, not HOW
|
|
- Good: "Icon Migration to Internal CDN"
|
|
- Bad: "Run curl commands to download PNGs"
|
|
|
|
**Story Description Format:**
|
|
|
|
- As a [role] (developer, user, admin, etc.)
|
|
- I want [capability/change]
|
|
- So that [benefit/value]
|
|
|
|
**Acceptance Criteria:**
|
|
|
|
- Extract from tech-spec "Testing Approach" section
|
|
- Must be specific, measurable, and testable
|
|
- Include performance criteria if specified
|
|
|
|
**Tasks/Subtasks:**
|
|
|
|
- Map directly to tech-spec "Implementation Guide" tasks
|
|
- Use checkboxes for tracking
|
|
- Reference AC numbers: (AC: #1), (AC: #2)
|
|
- Include explicit testing subtasks
|
|
|
|
**Dev Notes:**
|
|
|
|
- Extract technical constraints from tech-spec
|
|
- Include file paths from "Developer Resources → File Paths Reference"
|
|
- Include existing code references from "Development Context → Relevant Existing Code"
|
|
- Reference architecture patterns if applicable
|
|
- Cite tech-spec sections for implementation details
|
|
- Note dependencies (internal and external)
|
|
|
|
**NEW: Comprehensive Context**
|
|
|
|
Since tech-spec is now context-rich, populate all new template fields:
|
|
|
|
- dependencies: Extract from "Development Context" and "Implementation Details → Integration Points"
|
|
- existing_code_references: Extract from "Development Context → Relevant Existing Code" and "Developer Resources → Key Code Locations"

|
|
**Next Steps:**
|
|
|
|
**🎯 RECOMMENDED - Direct to Development (Level 0):**
|
|
|
|
Since the tech-spec is now CONTEXT-RICH with:
|
|
|
|
- ✅ Brownfield codebase analysis (if applicable)
|
|
- ✅ Framework and library details with exact versions
|
|
- ✅ Existing patterns and code references
|
|
- ✅ Complete file paths and integration points
|
|
|
|
**You can skip story-context and go straight to dev!**
|
|
|
|
1. Load DEV agent: `bmad/bmm/agents/dev.md`
|
|
2. Run `dev-story` workflow
|
|
3. Begin implementation immediately
|
|
|
|
**Option B - Generate Additional Context (optional):**
|
|
|
|
Only needed for extremely complex scenarios:
|
|
|
|
1. Load SM agent: `bmad/bmm/agents/sm.md`
|
|
2. Run `story-context` workflow (generates additional XML context)
|
|
3. Then load DEV agent and run `dev-story` workflow
|
|
|
|

**Epic Best Practices:**
|
|
- Title format: User-focused outcome (not implementation detail)
|
|
- Good: "JS Library Icon Reliability"
|
|
- Bad: "Update recommendedLibraries.ts file"
|
|
- Scope: Clearly define what's included/excluded
|
|
- Success criteria: Measurable outcomes that define "done"
|
|
</guidelines>
|

|
<example>
|
|
**Epic:** JS Library Icon Reliability
|
|
|
|
**Goal:** Eliminate external dependencies for JS library icons to ensure consistent, reliable display and improve application performance.
|
|
|
|
**Scope:** Migrate all 14 recommended JS library icons from third-party CDN URLs (GitHub, jsDelivr) to internal static asset hosting.
|
|
|
|
**Success Criteria:**
|
|
|
|
- All library icons load from internal paths
|
|
- Zero external requests for library icons
|
|
- Icons load 50-200ms faster than baseline
|
|
- No broken icons in production

<step n="3" goal="Determine optimal story count">

<action>Analyze tech spec implementation tasks and time estimates</action>
|
|
<action>Group related tasks into logical story boundaries</action>
|
|
|
|
<guidelines>
|
|
**Story Count Decision Matrix:**
|
|
|
|
**2 Stories (preferred for most Level 1):**
|
|
|
|
- Use when: Feature has clear build/verify split
|
|
- Example: Story 1 = Build feature, Story 2 = Test and deploy
|
|
- Typical points: 3-5 points per story
|
|
|
|
**3 Stories (only if necessary):**
|
|
|
|
- Use when: Feature has distinct setup, build, verify phases
|
|
- Example: Story 1 = Setup, Story 2 = Core implementation, Story 3 = Integration and testing
|
|
- Typical points: 2-3 points per story
|
|
|
|
**Never exceed 3 stories for Level 1:**
|
|
|
|
- If more needed, consider if project should be Level 2
|
|
- Better to have longer stories (5 points) than more stories (5x 1-point stories)
|
|
</guidelines>
|
|
|
|
<action>Determine story_count = 2 or 3 based on tech spec complexity</action>
|
|
|
|
</step>
|
|
|
|
<step n="4" goal="Generate user stories from tech spec tasks">
|
|
|
|
<action>For each story (2-3 total), generate separate story file</action>
|
|
<action>Story filename format: "story-{epic_slug}-{n}.md" where n = 1, 2, or 3</action>
|
|
|
|
<guidelines>
|
|
**Story Generation Guidelines:**
|
|
- Each story = multiple implementation tasks from tech spec
|
|
- Story title format: User-focused deliverable (not implementation steps)
|
|
- Include technical acceptance criteria from tech spec tasks
|
|
- Link back to tech spec sections for implementation details
|
|
|
|
**CRITICAL: Acceptance Criteria Must Be:**
|
|
|
|
1. **Numbered** - AC #1, AC #2, AC #3, etc.
|
|
2. **Specific** - No vague statements like "works well" or "is fast"
|
|
3. **Testable** - Can be verified objectively
|
|
4. **Complete** - Covers all success conditions
|
|
5. **Independent** - Each AC tests one thing
|
|
6. **Format**: Use Given/When/Then when applicable
|
|
|
|
**Good AC Examples:**
|
|
✅ AC #1: Given a valid email address, when user submits the form, then the account is created and user receives a confirmation email within 30 seconds
|
|
✅ AC #2: Given an invalid email format, when user submits, then form displays "Invalid email format" error message
|
|
✅ AC #3: All unit tests in UserService.test.ts pass with 100% coverage
|
|
|
|
**Bad AC Examples:**
|
|
❌ "User can create account" (too vague)
|
|
❌ "System performs well" (not measurable)
|
|
❌ "Works correctly" (not specific)
|
|
|
|
**Story Point Estimation:**
|
|
|
|
- 1 point = < 1 day (2-4 hours)
|
|
- 2 points = 1-2 days
|
|
- 3 points = 2-3 days
|
|
- 5 points = 3-5 days
|
|
|
|
**Level 1 Typical Totals:**
|
|
|
|
- Total story points: 5-10 points
|
|
- 2 stories: 3-5 points each
|
|
- 3 stories: 2-3 points each
|
|
- If total > 15 points, consider if this should be Level 2
|
|
|
|
**Story Structure (MUST match create-story format):**
|
|
|
|
- Status: Draft
|
|
- Story: As a [role], I want [capability], so that [benefit]
|
|
- Acceptance Criteria: Numbered list from tech spec
|
|
- Tasks / Subtasks: Checkboxes mapped to tech spec tasks (AC: #n references)
|
|
- Dev Notes: Technical summary, project structure notes, references
|
|
- Dev Agent Record: Empty sections (tech-spec provides context)
|
|
|
|
**NEW: Comprehensive Context Fields**
|
|
|
|
Since tech-spec is context-rich, populate ALL template fields:
|
|
|
|
- dependencies: Extract from tech-spec "Development Context → Dependencies" and "Integration Points"
|
|
- existing_code_references: Extract from "Development Context → Relevant Existing Code" and "Developer Resources → Key Code Locations"

|
|
5. No story can depend on a later story!
|
|
|
|
**Validate Story Sequence:**
|
|
For each story N, check:
|
|
|
|
- Does it require anything from Story N+1, N+2, etc.? ❌ INVALID
|
|
- Does it only use things from Story 1...N-1? ✅ VALID
|
|
- Can it be implemented independently or using only prior stories? ✅ VALID

```
|
|
Epic: Icon Reliability
|
|
├── Story 1: Build Icon Infrastructure (3 points)
|
|
│ Dependencies: None (foundational work)
|
|
│
|
|
└── Story 2: Test and Deploy Icons (2 points)
|
|
Dependencies: Story 1 (requires infrastructure)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Total Story Points:** 5
|
|
**Estimated Timeline:** 1 sprint (1 week)
|
|
|
|
## Implementation Sequence
|
|
|
|
1. **Story 1** → Build icon infrastructure (setup, download, configure)
|
|
- Dependencies: None
|
|
- Deliverable: Icon files downloaded, organized, accessible
|
|
|
|
2. **Story 2** → Test and deploy (depends on Story 1)
|
|
- Dependencies: Story 1 must be complete
|
|
- Deliverable: Icons verified, tested, deployed to production
|
|
|
|
**Dependency Validation:** ✅ Valid sequence - no forward dependencies

|
**Next Steps - Iterative Implementation:**
|
|
|
|
**🎯 RECOMMENDED - Direct to Development (Level 1):**
|
|
|
|
Since the tech-spec is now CONTEXT-RICH with:
|
|
|
|
- ✅ Brownfield codebase analysis (if applicable)
|
|
- ✅ Framework and library details with exact versions
|
|
- ✅ Existing patterns and code references
|
|
- ✅ Complete file paths and integration points
|
|
- ✅ Dependencies clearly mapped
|
|
|
|
**You can skip story-context for most Level 1 stories!**
|
|
|
|
**1. Start with Story 1:**
|
|
a. Load DEV agent: `bmad/bmm/agents/dev.md`
|
|
b. Run `dev-story` workflow (select story-{epic_slug}-1.md)
|
|
c. Tech-spec provides all context needed
|
|
d. Implement story 1
|
|
|
|
**2. After Story 1 Complete:**
|
|
|
|
- Repeat for story-{epic_slug}-2.md
|
|
- Reference completed story 1 in your work
|
|
|
|
**3. After Story 2 Complete:**
|
|
{{#if story_3}}
|
|
|
|
- Repeat for story-{epic_slug}-3.md
|
|
{{/if}}
|
|
- Level 1 feature complete!
|
|
|
|
**Option B - Generate Additional Context (optional):**
|
|
|
|
Only needed for extremely complex multi-story dependencies:
|
|
|
|
1. Load SM agent: `bmad/bmm/agents/sm.md`
|
|
2. Run `story-context` workflow for complex stories
|
|
3. Then load DEV agent and run `dev-story`
|
|
|
|
**Progress Tracking:**
|
|
|
|
- All decisions logged in: `bmm-workflow-status.yaml`
|
|
- Next action clearly identified
|
|
|
|
<ask>Ready to proceed? Choose your path:
|
|
|
|
1. Go directly to dev-story for story 1 (RECOMMENDED - tech-spec has all context)
|

2. Generate additional story context first (for complex dependencies)
