Workflows Fixed (6/17)

1. alignment-signoff FIXED

Location: 1-project-brief/alignment-signoff Issues Fixed:

  • Oversized step file (1928 lines → 88 lines)
  • ⚠️ Renamed steps/steps-c/
  • Updated workflow.md references

Critical Fix: step-03.5-generate-contract.md now routes to existing substeps instead of containing all content inline.

13. figma-integration ⚠️ NEEDS INVESTIGATION

Location: 5-design-system/figma-integration Structure: Unknown Issue: Needs structure analysis Recommendation: Investigate contents and create workflow.md if needed


14. agent-domains ⚠️ NEEDS INVESTIGATION

Location: project-analysis/agent-domains Structure: Unknown Issue: Needs structure analysis Recommendation: Investigate contents and create workflow.md if needed


15. analysis-types ⚠️ NEEDS INVESTIGATION

Location: project-analysis/analysis-types Structure: Unknown Issue: Needs structure analysis Recommendation: Investigate contents and create workflow.md if needed


16. conversation-persistence ⚠️ NEEDS INVESTIGATION

Location: project-analysis/conversation-persistence Structure: Unknown Issue: Needs structure analysis Recommendation: Investigate contents and create workflow.md if needed


17. work-types ⚠️ NEEDS INVESTIGATION

Location: project-analysis/work-types Structure: Unknown Issue: Needs structure analysis Recommendation: Investigate contents and create workflow.md if needed

Validation Reports Generated

Individual validation reports created:

  1. 1-project-brief/alignment-signoff/validation-report-alignment-signoff.md
  2. 1-project-brief/project-brief/validation-report-project-brief.md
  3. 2-trigger-mapping/document-generation/validation-report-document-generation.md
  4. 2-trigger-mapping/mermaid-diagram/validation-report-mermaid-diagram.md
  5. 4-ux-design/page-specification-quality/validation-report-page-specification-quality.md (already existed)

Recommendations

Immediate Actions Required

  1. Create workflow.md files for remaining workflows with step structures
  2. Investigate empty workflows (agentic-development, modular-architecture, object-types) - remove or develop
  3. Clarify guide vs workflow distinction for excalidraw-integration and scenario-init
  4. Complete vtc-workshop workflow.md creation

Future Improvements

  1. Standardize workflow patterns across all modules
  2. Add validation-report.md to all workflows as standard practice
  3. Create workflow templates for common patterns (document generation, validation, transformation)
  4. Document workflow categories (create, validate, edit, transform, guide)

Best Practices Established

  1. workflow.md as mandatory entry point
  2. steps-c/, steps-v/, steps-e/ for tri-modal workflows
  3. Maximum 250 lines per step file
  4. Templates in templates/ folder
  5. Substeps for complex logic
  6. Validation reports in workflow folders

Success Metrics

Before Validation:

  • Critical violations: 7
  • BMAD v6 compliant workflows: 1/17 (6%)
  • Oversized step files: 2 (3,100+ total lines)
  • Missing entry points: 5

After Fixes:

  • Critical violations: 0 (for core workflows)
  • BMAD v6 compliant workflows: 6/17 (35%)
  • Oversized step files: 0
  • Missing entry points: 5 remaining (non-core workflows)

Improvement: +500% increase in BMAD v6 compliance for core workflows


Conclusion

Core WDS workflows (project-brief, trigger-mapping, content-creation) are now BMAD v6 compliant.

Remaining workflows require structure analysis to determine if they are:

  • Active workflows needing workflow.md
  • Reference materials/guides
  • Incomplete/deprecated workflows to be removed

Next Step: Investigate and classify remaining 10 workflows for appropriate action.
