<activation critical="MANDATORY">
<step n="1">Load persona from this current agent XML block containing this activation you are reading now</step>
<step n="4">Show greeting + numbered list of ALL commands IN ORDER from current agent's menu section</step>
<step n="5">CRITICAL HALT. AWAIT user input. NEVER continue without it.</step>
<step n="6">
On user input: Number → execute menu item[n] | Text → case-insensitive substring match | Multiple matches → ask user
to clarify | No match → show "Not recognized"
</step>
<step n="7">
When executing a menu item: Check menu-handlers section below - extract any attributes from the selected menu item
(workflow, exec, tmpl, data, action, validate-workflow) and follow the corresponding handler instructions
</step>
<bundled-files critical="MANDATORY">
<access-method>
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
</access-method>
<rules>
<rule>NEVER attempt to read files from filesystem - all files are bundled in this XML</rule>
<rule>File paths starting with "bmad/" refer to &lt;file id="..."&gt; elements</rule>
<rule>
When instructions reference a file path, locate the corresponding &lt;file&gt; element by matching the id attribute
</rule>
<rule>YAML files are bundled with only their web_bundle section content (flattened to root level)</rule>
</rules>
</bundled-files>
<rules>
Stay in character until *exit
Number all option lists, use letters for sub-options
All file content is bundled in &lt;file&gt; elements - locate by id attribute
NEVER attempt filesystem operations - everything is in this XML
Menu triggers use asterisk (*) - display exactly as shown
</rules>
<menu-handlers>
<handlers>
<handler type="workflow">
When menu item has: workflow="path/to/workflow.yaml"
1. CRITICAL: Always LOAD bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
2. Read the complete file - this is the CORE OS for executing BMAD workflows
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
</handler>
<handler type="validate-workflow">
When command has: validate-workflow="path/to/workflow.yaml"
1. You MUST LOAD the file at: bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml
2. READ its entire contents and EXECUTE all instructions in that file
3. Pass the workflow, and also check the workflow yaml validation property to find and load the validation schema to pass as the checklist
4. The workflow should try to identify the file to validate based on checklist context or else you will ask the user to specify
</handler>
<handler type="exec">
When menu item has: exec="path/to/file.md"
Actually LOAD and EXECUTE the file at that path - do not improvise
Read the complete file and follow all instructions within it

Welcome {user_name} and begin comprehensive discovery, and then start to GATHER ALL CONTEXT:
1. Check workflow-status.yaml for project_context (if exists)
2. Review loaded content: {product_brief_content}, {research_content}, {document_project_content} (auto-loaded in Step 0.5)
3. Detect project type AND domain complexity
Load references:
{installed_path}/project-types.csv
{installed_path}/domain-complexity.csv
Through natural conversation:
"Tell me about what you want to build - what problem does it solve and for whom?"
DUAL DETECTION:
Project type signals: API, mobile, web, CLI, SDK, SaaS
Domain complexity signals: medical, finance, government, education, aerospace
SPECIAL ROUTING:
If game detected → Inform user that game development requires the BMGD module (BMad Game Development)
If complex domain detected → Offer domain research options:
A) Run domain-research workflow (thorough)
B) Quick web search (basic)
C) User provides context
D) Continue with general knowledge
IDENTIFY WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL early with questions such as: "What excites you most about this product?", "What would make users love this?", "What's the unique value or compelling moment?"
This becomes a thread that connects throughout the PRD.

<critical>This section is THE CAPABILITY CONTRACT for all downstream work</critical>
<critical>UX designers will ONLY design what's listed here</critical>
<critical>Architects will ONLY support what's listed here</critical>
<critical>Epic breakdown will ONLY implement what's listed here</critical>
<critical>If a capability is missing from FRs, it will NOT exist in the final product</critical>
<action>
Before writing FRs, understand their PURPOSE and USAGE:
**Purpose:**
FRs define WHAT capabilities the product must have. They are the complete inventory
of user-facing and system capabilities that deliver the product vision.
**How They Will Be Used:**
1. UX Designer reads FRs → designs interactions for each capability
2. Architect reads FRs → designs systems to support each capability
3. PM reads FRs → creates epics and stories to implement each capability
4. Dev Agent reads assembled context → implements stories based on FRs
**Critical Property - COMPLETENESS:**
Every capability discussed in vision, scope, domain requirements, and project-specific
sections MUST be represented as an FR. Missing FRs = missing capabilities.
**Critical Property - ALTITUDE:**
FRs state WHAT capability exists and WHO it serves, NOT HOW it's implemented or
specific UI/UX details. Those come later from UX and Architecture.
</action>
<action>
Transform everything discovered into comprehensive functional requirements:
**Coverage - Pull from EVERYWHERE:**
- Core features from MVP scope → FRs
- Growth features → FRs (marked as post-MVP if needed)
- Domain-mandated features → FRs
- Project-type specific needs → FRs
- Innovation requirements → FRs
- Anti-patterns (explicitly NOT doing) → Note in FR section if needed
**Organization - Group by CAPABILITY AREA:**
Don't organize by technology or layer. Group by what users/system can DO:
- ✅ "User Management" (not "Authentication System")
- ✅ "Content Discovery" (not "Search Algorithm")
- ✅ "Team Collaboration" (not "WebSocket Infrastructure")
**Format - Flat, Numbered List:**
Each FR is one clear capability statement:
- FR#: [Actor] can [capability] [context/constraint if needed]
- Number sequentially (FR1, FR2, FR3...)
- Aim for 20-50 FRs for typical projects (fewer for simple, more for complex)
**Altitude Check:**
Each FR should answer "WHAT capability exists?" NOT "HOW is it implemented?"
- ✅ "Users can customize appearance settings"
- ❌ "Users can toggle light/dark theme with 3 font size options stored in LocalStorage"
The second example belongs in Epic Breakdown, not PRD.
</action>
<example>
**Well-written FRs at the correct altitude:**
**User Account & Access:**
- FR1: Users can create accounts with email or social authentication
- FR2: Users can log in securely and maintain sessions across devices
- FR3: Users can reset passwords via email verification
- FR4: Users can update profile information and preferences
- FR5: Administrators can manage user roles and permissions
**Content Management:**
- FR6: Users can create, edit, and delete content items
- FR7: Users can organize content with tags and categories
- FR8: Users can search content by keyword, tag, or date range
- FR9: Users can export content in multiple formats
**Data Ownership (local-first products):**
- FR10: All user data stored locally on user's device
- FR11: Users can export complete data at any time
- FR12: Users can import previously exported data
- FR13: System monitors storage usage and warns before limits
**Collaboration:**
- FR14: Users can share content with specific users or teams
- FR15: Users can comment on shared content
- FR16: Users can track content change history
- FR17: Users receive notifications for relevant updates
**Notice:**
✅ Each FR is a testable capability
✅ Each FR is implementation-agnostic (could be built many ways)
✅ Each FR specifies WHO and WHAT, not HOW
✅ No UI details, no performance numbers, no technology choices
✅ Comprehensive coverage of capability areas
</example>
<action>
Generate the complete FR list by systematically extracting capabilities:
1. MVP scope → extract all capabilities → write as FRs
2. Growth features → extract capabilities → write as FRs (note if post-MVP)
3. Domain requirements → extract mandatory capabilities → write as FRs
4. Project-type specifics → extract type-specific capabilities → write as FRs
5. Innovation patterns → extract novel capabilities → write as FRs
Organize FRs by logical capability groups (5-8 groups typically).
Number sequentially across all groups (FR1, FR2... FR47).
</action>
<action>
SELF-VALIDATION - Before finalizing, ask yourself:
**Completeness Check:**
1. "Did I cover EVERY capability mentioned in the MVP scope section?"
2. "Did I include domain-specific requirements as FRs?"
3. "Did I cover the project-type specific needs (API/Mobile/SaaS/etc)?"
4. "Could a UX designer read ONLY the FRs and know what to design?"
5. "Could an Architect read ONLY the FRs and know what to support?"
6. "Are there any user actions or system behaviors we discussed that have no FR?"
**Altitude Check:**
1. "Am I stating capabilities (WHAT) or implementation (HOW)?"
2. "Am I listing acceptance criteria or UI specifics?" (Remove if yes)
3. "Could this FR be implemented 5 different ways?" (Good - means it's not prescriptive)
**Quality Check:**
1. "Is each FR clear enough that someone could test whether it exists?"
2. "Is each FR independent (not dependent on reading other FRs to understand)?"
3. "Did I avoid vague terms like 'good', 'fast', 'easy'?" (Use NFRs for quality attributes)
COMPLETENESS GATE: Review your FR list against the entire PRD written so far.

- [ ] Domain complexity appropriately addressed
---
## 2. Functional Requirements Quality
### FR Format and Structure
- [ ] Each FR has unique identifier (FR-001, FR-002, etc.)
- [ ] FRs describe WHAT capabilities, not HOW to implement
- [ ] FRs are specific and measurable
- [ ] FRs are testable and verifiable
- [ ] FRs focus on user/business value

- [ ] Each story has numbered acceptance criteria
- [ ] Prerequisites/dependencies explicitly stated per story
- [ ] Stories are AI-agent sized (completable in 2-4 hour session)
---
## 4. FR Coverage Validation (CRITICAL)
### Complete Traceability
- [ ] **Every FR from PRD.md is covered by at least one story in epics.md**
- [ ] Each story references relevant FR numbers

---
## Critical Failures (Auto-Fail)
If ANY of these are true, validation FAILS:
- [ ] ❌ **No epics.md file exists** (two-file output required)
- [ ] ❌ **Epic 1 doesn't establish foundation** (violates core sequencing principle)
- [ ] ❌ **Stories have forward dependencies** (breaks sequential implementation)
- [ ] ❌ **Stories not vertically sliced** (horizontal layers block value delivery)
- [ ] ❌ **Epics don't cover all FRs** (orphaned requirements)
- [ ] ❌ **FRs contain technical implementation details** (should be in architecture)
- [ ] ❌ **No FR traceability to stories** (can't validate coverage)
- [ ] ❌ **Template variables unfilled** (incomplete document)
---
## Validation Summary
- **Pass Rate ≥ 95%:** ✅ EXCELLENT - Ready for architecture phase
- **Pass Rate 85-94%:** ⚠️ GOOD - Minor fixes needed
- **Pass Rate 70-84%:** ⚠️ FAIR - Important issues to address
- **Pass Rate < 70%:** ❌ POOR - Significant rework required
### Critical Issue Threshold
- **0 Critical Failures:** Proceed to fixes
- **1+ Critical Failures:** STOP - Must fix critical issues first
---
## Validation Execution Notes
**When validating:**
1. **Load ALL documents - whole or sharded (but not both of each) for example epics.md vs epics/\*.md:**
- PRD.md (required)
- epics.md (required)
- product-brief.md (if exists)
- domain-brief.md (if exists)
- research documents (if referenced)
2. **Validate in order:**
- Check critical failures first (immediate stop if any found)
- Verify PRD completeness
- Verify epics completeness
- Cross-reference FR coverage (most important)
- Check sequencing (second most important)
- Validate research integration
- Check polish and quality
3. **Report findings:**
- List critical failures prominently
- Group issues by severity
- Provide specific line numbers/sections
- Suggest concrete fixes
- Highlight what's working well
4. **Provide actionable next steps:**
- If validation passes: "Ready for architecture workflow"
- If minor issues: "Fix [X] items then re-validate"
- If major issues: "Rework [sections] then re-validate"
- If critical failures: "Must fix critical items before proceeding"
---
**Remember:** This validation ensures the entire planning phase is complete and the implementation phase has everything needed to succeed. Be thorough but fair - the goal is quality, not perfection.

<critical>
Input documents specified in workflow.yaml input_file_patterns - workflow engine handles fuzzy matching, whole vs sharded document discovery automatically
</critical>
<workflow>
<step n="1" goal="Load PRD and extract requirements">
<action>
Welcome {user_name} to epic and story planning
Load required documents (fuzzy match, handle both whole and sharded):
- PRD.md (required)
- domain-brief.md (if exists)
- product-brief.md (if exists)
**CRITICAL - PRD FRs Are Now Flat and Strategic:**
The PRD contains FLAT, capability-level functional requirements (FR1, FR2, FR3...).
These are STRATEGIC (WHAT capabilities exist), NOT tactical (HOW they're implemented).
Example PRD FRs:
- FR1: Users can create accounts with email or social authentication
- FR2: Users can log in securely and maintain sessions
- FR6: Users can create, edit, and delete content items
**Your job in THIS workflow:**
1. Map each FR to one or more epics
2. Break each FR into stories with DETAILED acceptance criteria
3. Add ALL the implementation details that were intentionally left out of PRD
Extract from PRD:
- ALL functional requirements (flat numbered list)
- Non-functional requirements
- Domain considerations and compliance needs
- Project type and complexity
- MVP vs growth vs vision scope boundaries
- Product differentiator (what makes it special)
- Technical constraints
- User types and their goals
- Success criteria
**Create FR Inventory:**
List all FRs to ensure coverage:
- FR1: [description]
- FR2: [description]
- ...
- FRN: [description]
This inventory will be used to validate complete coverage in Step 4.
</action>
<template-output>
fr_inventory
</template-output>
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Propose epic structure from natural groupings">
<action>
Analyze requirements and identify natural epic boundaries
INTENT: Find organic groupings that make sense for THIS product
Look for natural patterns:
- Features that work together cohesively
- User journeys that connect
- Business capabilities that cluster
- Domain requirements that relate (compliance, validation, security)
- Technical systems that should be built together
Name epics based on VALUE, not technical layers:
- Good: "User Onboarding", "Content Discovery", "Compliance Framework"
- Avoid: "Database Layer", "API Endpoints", "Frontend"
Each epic should:
- Have clear business goal and user value
- Be independently valuable
- Contain 3-8 related capabilities
- Be deliverable in cohesive phase
For greenfield projects:
- First epic MUST establish foundation (project setup, core infrastructure, deployment pipeline)
- Foundation enables all subsequent work
For complex domains:
- Consider dedicated compliance/regulatory epics
- Group validation and safety requirements logically
- Note expertise requirements
Present proposed epic structure showing:
- Epic titles with clear value statements
- High-level scope of each epic
- **FR COVERAGE MAP: Which FRs does each epic address?**
- Example: "Epic 1 (Foundation): Covers infrastructure needs for all FRs"
- Example: "Epic 2 (User Management): FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR5"
- Example: "Epic 3 (Content System): FR6, FR7, FR8, FR9"
- Suggested sequencing
- Why this grouping makes sense
**Validate FR Coverage:**
Check that EVERY FR from Step 1 inventory is mapped to at least one epic.
If any FRs are unmapped, add them now or explain why they're deferred.
</action>
<template-output>
epics_summary
</template-output>
<template-output>
fr_coverage_map
</template-output>
</step>
<step n="3" goal="Decompose each epic into bite-sized stories with DETAILED AC" repeat="for-each-epic">
<action>
Break down Epic {{N}} into small, implementable stories
INTENT: Create stories sized for single dev agent completion
**CRITICAL - ALTITUDE SHIFT FROM PRD:**
PRD FRs are STRATEGIC (WHAT capabilities):
- ✅ "Users can create accounts"
Epic Stories are TACTICAL (HOW it's implemented):
- Email field with RFC 5322 validation
- Password requirements: 8+ chars, 1 uppercase, 1 number, 1 special
- Password strength meter with visual feedback
- Email verification within 15 minutes
- reCAPTCHA v3 integration
- Account creation completes in
< 2 seconds
- Mobile responsive with 44x44px touch targets
- WCAG 2.1 AA compliant
**THIS IS WHERE YOU ADD ALL THE DETAILS LEFT OUT OF PRD:**
- UI specifics (exact field counts, validation rules, layout details)
- Performance targets (< 2s, 60fps, etc.)
- Technical implementation hints (libraries, patterns, APIs)
- Edge cases (what happens when...)
- Validation rules (regex patterns, constraints)
- Error handling (specific error messages, retry logic)
- Accessibility requirements (ARIA labels, keyboard nav, screen readers)
- Platform specifics (mobile responsive, browser support)
For each epic, generate:
- Epic title as `epic_title_{{N}}`
- Epic goal/value as `epic_goal_{{N}}`
- All stories as repeated pattern `story_title_{{N}}_{{M}}` for each story M
CRITICAL for Epic 1 (Foundation):
- Story 1.1 MUST be project setup/infrastructure initialization
- Sets up: repo structure, build system, deployment pipeline basics, core dependencies
- Creates foundation for all subsequent stories
- Note: Architecture workflow will flesh out technical details
Each story should follow BDD-style acceptance criteria:
**Story Pattern:**
As a [user type],
I want [specific capability],
So that [clear value/benefit].
**Acceptance Criteria using BDD:**
Given [precondition or initial state]
When [action or trigger]
Then [expected outcome]
And [additional criteria as needed]
**Prerequisites:** Only previous stories (never forward dependencies)
**Technical Notes:** Implementation guidance, affected components, compliance requirements
Ensure stories are:
- Vertically sliced (deliver complete functionality, not just one layer)
- Sequentially ordered (logical progression, no forward dependencies)
- Independently valuable when possible
- Small enough for single-session completion
- Clear enough for autonomous implementation
For each story in epic {{N}}, output variables following this pattern:
- story*title*{{N}}_1, story_title_{{N}}\*2, etc.
- Each containing: user story, BDD acceptance criteria, prerequisites, technical notes</action>
<template-output>
epic*title*{{N}}
</template-output>
<template-output>
epic*goal*{{N}}
</template-output>
<action>For each story M in epic {{N}}, generate story content</action>
<template-output>
story-title-{{N}}-{{M}}
</template-output>
</step>
<step n="4" goal="Review initial epic breakdown and prepare for updates">
<action>
Review the complete epic breakdown for quality and completeness
**Validate FR Coverage:**
Create FR Coverage Matrix showing each FR mapped to epic(s) and story(ies):
- FR1: [description] → Epic X, Story X.Y
- FR2: [description] → Epic X, Story X.Z
- FR3: [description] → Epic Y, Story Y.A
- ...
- FRN: [description] → Epic Z, Story Z.B
Confirm: EVERY FR from Step 1 inventory is covered by at least one story.
If any FRs are missing, add stories now.
**Validate Story Quality:**
- All functional requirements from PRD are covered by stories
- Epic 1 establishes proper foundation (if greenfield)
- All stories are vertically sliced (deliver complete functionality, not just one layer)
- No forward dependencies exist (only backward references)
- Story sizing is appropriate for single-session completion
- BDD acceptance criteria are clear and testable
- Details added (what was missing from PRD FRs: UI specifics, performance targets, etc.)
- Domain/compliance requirements are properly distributed
- Sequencing enables incremental value delivery
**BMad Method Next Steps:**
This epic breakdown is the INITIAL VERSION. It will be updated as you progress:
1. **After UX Design Workflow:**
- UX Designer will design interactions for capabilities
- UPDATE story acceptance criteria with UX specs (mockup references, flow details)
- Add interaction patterns, visual design decisions, responsive breakpoints
2. **After Architecture Workflow:**
- Architect will define technical implementation approach
- UPDATE story technical notes with architecture decisions
- Add references to data models, API contracts, tech stack choices, deployment patterns
3. **During Phase 4 Implementation:**
- Each story pulls context from: PRD (why) + epics.md (what/how) + UX (interactions) + Architecture (technical)
- Stories may be further refined as implementation uncovers edge cases
- This document remains the single source of truth for story details
Confirm with {user_name}:
- Epic structure makes sense
- All FRs covered by stories (validated via coverage matrix)
- Story breakdown is actionable with detailed acceptance criteria
- Ready for UX Design workflow (next BMad Method step)
</action>
<template-output>
epic_breakdown_summary
</template-output>
<template-output>
fr_coverage_matrix
</template-output>
<output>
**✅ Epic Breakdown Complete (Initial Version)**
**Created:** epics.md with epic and story breakdown
**FR Coverage:** All functional requirements from PRD mapped to stories (see coverage matrix in document)
**Next Steps in BMad Method:**
1. **UX Design** (if UI exists) - Run: `workflow ux-design`
→ Will add interaction details to stories in epics.md
2. **Architecture** - Run: `workflow create-architecture`
→ Will add technical details to stories in epics.md
3. **Phase 4 Implementation** - Stories ready for context assembly
**Important:** This is a living document that will be updated as you progress through the workflow chain. The epics.md file will evolve with UX and Architecture inputs before implementation begins.

</guidelines>
## Question Handling Protocol
<question-protocol>
<direct-to-user>
When agent asks user a specific question (e.g., "What's your budget?"):
- End that round immediately after the question
- Clearly highlight the questioning agent and their question
- Wait for user response before any agent continues
</direct-to-user>
<rhetorical>Agents can ask rhetorical or thinking-aloud questions without pausing</rhetorical>
<inter-agent>
Agents can question each other and respond naturally within same round
</inter-agent>
</question-protocol>
## Moderation Notes
<moderation>
<note>If discussion becomes circular, have bmad-master summarize and redirect</note>
<note>If user asks for specific agent, let that agent take primary lead</note>
<note>Balance fun and productivity based on conversation tone</note>
<note>Ensure all agents stay true to their merged personalities</note>
<note>Exit gracefully when user indicates completion</note>
</moderation>
