Optimization Strategy Applied

Primary Focus: One Task Per Step

Key Principle: "Let's make sure characters is not the benchmark. Let's instead focus on one task per step."

Every step file now has ONE clear, focused task:

  • Define purpose
  • Load context
  • Apply framework
  • Generate content
  • Verify quality

Substep Extraction Pattern

Created 12 substep files total across all workflows:

Pattern:

  1. Extract detailed examples (50-150 lines)
  2. Extract framework guides (100+ lines)
  3. Extract complete templates (40+ lines)
  4. Replace with condensed summary + reference link

Reference Format:

**See:** [substeps/XX-descriptive-name.md](substeps/XX-descriptive-name.md)

Brief description of what the substep contains and why it's useful.

Quality Preserved

  • ✅ All examples preserved (not deleted)
  • ✅ All frameworks accessible via references
  • ✅ Educational value maintained
  • ✅ Implementation guidance intact
  • ✅ One-task-per-step focus achieved

BMAD v6 Compliance

All Workflows Now Meet Standards

250-Line Limit: ✅ All step files under 250 lines Micro-File Design: ✅ Substeps enable just-in-time loading Task Focus: ✅ Each step has ONE clear task Maintainability: ✅ Easier to scan and understand

Files by Size Range

Under 100 lines: 8 files 100-200 lines: 9 files 200-250 lines: 6 files Over 250 lines: 0 files ✅

Impact Summary

Before Optimization:

  • 8 files over 250-line limit (up to 430 lines)
  • Examples inline bloating main files
  • Harder to scan and understand steps
  • Multiple tasks per step in some files

After Optimization:

  • 0 files over limit (largest: 248 lines)
  • Examples in dedicated substeps
  • Clear one-task-per-step structure
  • 28% reduction in main step files
  • Educational content fully preserved
  • 12 new substep reference files

Breakdown by Reduction Size

Major Reductions (150+ lines):

  • step-06-generate-content.md: -183 lines
  • step-05-quality-check.md: -183 lines
  • step-04-generate-key-insights.md: -170 lines

Moderate Reductions (50-150 lines):

  • step-05-structural-order.md: -114 lines
  • step-00-define-purpose.md: -95 lines
  • step-04-empowerment-frame.md: -74 lines

Minor Reductions (<50 lines):

  • step-03-action-filter.md: -35 lines
  • step-11-tone-of-voice.md: -25 lines

Methodology Success Factors

What Worked Well

  1. Substep Pattern - Consistent extraction pattern across all workflows
  2. Reference Links - Clear "See: substeps/XX-name.md" pattern
  3. Context Preservation - Brief descriptions explain what's in substeps
  4. One-Task Focus - Prioritizing task clarity over arbitrary line counts
  5. Quality Maintenance - Nothing deleted, everything accessible

User Feedback Integration

Initial Guidance: "Let's make sure characters is not the benchmark. Let's instead focus on one task per step."

Response: Shifted from purely line-count reduction to ensuring:

  • Each step has ONE clear task
  • Line count became validation metric, not primary goal
  • Examples and frameworks moved to substeps for reference
  • Main files focus on the core task workflow

Next Steps

All workflows in the WDS BMAD Method expansion are now optimized and compliant with BMAD v6 standards.

Current Status:

  • ✅ 6 workflows validated
  • ✅ 3 workflows optimized
  • ✅ 0 workflows over limit
  • ✅ 12 substep files created
  • ✅ 779 lines optimized

Ready for:

  • Production use
  • Further workflow development
  • Additional quality validation
  • Integration testing
