Workflow Configuration Verification

Workflow Manifest Registration

File: bmad/_cfg/workflow-manifest.csv

Handoff Workflow Entry:

"handoff","Create comprehensive handoff memory for the next agent and save it to Serena...","core","bmad/core/workflows/handoff/workflow.yaml"

Handoff-Receive Workflow Entry:

"handoff-receive","Receive and process a handoff from the previous agent by reading the most recent handoff memory from Serena...","core","bmad/core/workflows/handoff-receive/workflow.yaml"

Status: REGISTERED - Both workflows correctly added to manifest

.gitignore Configuration

Changes Made:

# Claude Code - ignore .claude directory except commands folder (for slash command distribution)
.claude/*
!.claude/commands/
!.claude/commands/**

Status: CONFIGURED - Commands folder properly whitelisted for distribution


BMAD Compliance Check

  • Variable names consistent between YAML and instructions
  • Step numbering sequential and logical
  • YAML syntax valid and compliant
  • Standard config variables used correctly
  • XML tags properly formatted in instructions

Convention Compliance

  • Both workflows follow BMAD action workflow pattern (template: false)
  • Workflow names use lowercase with hyphens (handoff, handoff-receive)
  • Config source points to core config.yaml
  • Module paths use installed_path variable
  • Dependencies clearly documented
  • Version compatibility specified

Documentation Standards

  • README files comprehensive and well-formatted
  • Instructions include error handling sections
  • Integration notes with BMAD ecosystem
  • Example usage provided
  • Troubleshooting guide included
  • Version information specified

Status: FULL COMPLIANCE

  • Missing required fields - Warning with option to continue
  • Serena activation failure - Clear error, troubleshooting steps
  • Memory save failure - Error with fallback (show content to user)

Handoff-Receive Workflow

  • No handoff memories found - Clear error with recovery options

Known Observations

Expected Findings

  1. Markdown Linting Warnings - Expected

    • Code blocks without language specification
    • Trailing punctuation in headings
    • These match the original PR exactly
  2. XML Tags in Instructions - Expected

    • BMAD workflows use XML-style tags for instructions
    • This is standard BMAD format
    • Linter reports as HTML, but it's intentional markup
  3. Pre-existing Lint Errors - Not Related to PR #784

    • 5 pre-existing errors in .bmad-* and .github/ files
    • Not introduced by this PR
    • Should be addressed in separate work

Recommendations

For Immediate Integration

  1. All tests passing - ready for commit
  2. All files present - ready for production
  3. Configuration valid - ready to compile
  4. Documentation complete - ready for users

For Future Enhancement

  1. Consider adding handoff versioning for rollback capability
  2. Add handoff search/filter commands
  3. Create handoff templates for common scenarios
  4. Add analytics/reporting on handoff usage
