Integration with BMAD Method

These quality tasks integrate with the BMAD orchestrator through:

1. Persona Task Lists - Each persona references relevant quality tasks
2. Memory System - Tasks include memory integration patterns for learning
3. Quality Gates - Tasks define gates that must be passed before proceeding
4. Brotherhood Collaboration - Tasks specify cross-team validation requirements

Usage Examples
