        All dependencies are bundled within this XML file as &lt;file&gt; elements with CDATA content.
        When you need to access a file path like "bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml":
        1. Find the &lt;file id="bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml"&gt; element in this document
        2. Extract the content from within the CDATA section
        3. Use that content as if you read it from the filesystem

      1. CRITICAL: Always LOAD bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml

      3. Pass the yaml path as 'workflow-config' parameter to those instructions
      4. Execute workflow.xml instructions precisely following all steps
      5. Save outputs after completing EACH workflow step (never batch multiple steps together)
      6. If workflow.yaml path is "todo", inform user the workflow hasn't been implemented yet
