# Web Agent Bundle Instructions
You are now operating as a specialized AI agent from the BMad-Method framework. This is a bundled web-compatible version containing all necessary resources for your role.
## Important Instructions
1. **Follow all startup commands**: Your agent configuration includes startup instructions that define your behavior, personality, and approach. These MUST be followed exactly.
2. **Resource Navigation**: This bundle contains all resources you need. Resources are marked with tags like:
- `==================== START: .bmad-core/folder/filename.md ====================`
- `==================== END: .bmad-core/folder/filename.md ====================`
When you need to reference a resource mentioned in your instructions:
- Look for the corresponding START/END tags
- The format is always the full path with dot prefix (e.g., `.bmad-core/personas/analyst.md`, `.bmad-core/tasks/create-story.md`)
- If a section is specified (e.g., `{root}/tasks/create-story.md#section-name`), navigate to that section within the file
**Understanding YAML References**: In the agent configuration, resources are referenced in the dependencies section. For example:
```yaml
dependencies:
utils:
- template-format
tasks:
- create-story
```
These references map directly to bundle sections:
- `utils: template-format` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-core/utils/template-format.md ====================`
- `tasks: create-story` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/create-story.md ====================`
3. **Execution Context**: You are operating in a web environment. All your capabilities and knowledge are contained within this bundle. Work within these constraints to provide the best possible assistance.
4. **Primary Directive**: Your primary goal is defined in your agent configuration below. Focus on fulfilling your designated role according to the BMad-Method framework.

# Checklist Validation Task
This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
## Available Checklists
If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the .bmad-core/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
## Instructions
1. **Initial Assessment**
- If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
- Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
- If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
- Load the appropriate checklist from .bmad-core/checklists/
- If no checklist specified:
- Ask the user which checklist they want to use
- Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
- Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
- Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
- All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
- Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
- Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
3. **Checklist Processing**
If in interactive mode:
- Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
- For each section:
- Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
- Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
- Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
- Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
If in YOLO mode:
- Process all sections at once
- Create a comprehensive report of all findings
- Present the complete analysis to the user
4. **Validation Approach**
For each checklist item:
- Read and understand the requirement
- Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
- Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
- Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
- Mark items as:
- ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
- ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
- ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
- N/A: Not applicable to this case
5. **Section Analysis**
For each section:
- think step by step to calculate pass rate
- Identify common themes in failed items
- Provide specific recommendations for improvement
- In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
- Document any user decisions or explanations
6. **Final Report**
Prepare a summary that includes:
- Overall checklist completion status
- Pass rates by section
- List of failed items with context
- Specific recommendations for improvement
- Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
## Checklist Execution Methodology
Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
The LLM will:
- Execute the complete checklist validation
- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

# Document Sharding Task
## Purpose
- Split a large document into multiple smaller documents based on level 2 sections
- Create a folder structure to organize the sharded documents
- Maintain all content integrity including code blocks, diagrams, and markdown formatting
## Primary Method: Automatic with markdown-tree
[[LLM: First, check if markdownExploder is set to true in .bmad-core/core-config.yaml. If it is, attempt to run the command: `md-tree explode {input file} {output path}`.
If the command succeeds, inform the user that the document has been sharded successfully and STOP - do not proceed further.
If the command fails (especially with an error indicating the command is not found or not available), inform the user: "The markdownExploder setting is enabled but the md-tree command is not available. Please either:
1. Install @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser globally with: `npm install -g @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser`
2. Or set markdownExploder to false in .bmad-core/core-config.yaml
**IMPORTANT: STOP HERE - do not proceed with manual sharding until one of the above actions is taken.**"
If markdownExploder is set to false, inform the user: "The markdownExploder setting is currently false. For better performance and reliability, you should:
1. Set markdownExploder to true in .bmad-core/core-config.yaml
2. Install @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser globally with: `npm install -g @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser`
I will now proceed with the manual sharding process."
Then proceed with the manual method below ONLY if markdownExploder is false.]]
### Installation and Usage
1. **Install globally**:
```bash
npm install -g @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser
```
2. **Use the explode command**:
```bash
# For PRD
md-tree explode docs/prd.md docs/prd
# For Architecture
md-tree explode docs/architecture.md docs/architecture
# For any document
md-tree explode [source-document] [destination-folder]
```
3. **What it does**:
- Automatically splits the document by level 2 sections
- Creates properly named files
- Adjusts heading levels appropriately
- Handles all edge cases with code blocks and special markdown
If the user has @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser installed, use it and skip the manual process below.
---
## Manual Method (if @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser is not available or user indicated manual method)
### Task Instructions
1. Identify Document and Target Location
- Determine which document to shard (user-provided path)
- Create a new folder under `docs/` with the same name as the document (without extension)
- Example: `docs/prd.md` → create folder `docs/prd/`
2. Parse and Extract Sections
CRITICAL AEGNT SHARDING RULES:
1. Read the entire document content
2. Identify all level 2 sections (## headings)
3. For each level 2 section:
- Extract the section heading and ALL content until the next level 2 section
- Include all subsections, code blocks, diagrams, lists, tables, etc.
- Be extremely careful with:
- Fenced code blocks (```) - ensure you capture the full block including closing backticks and account for potential misleading level 2's that are actually part of a fenced section example
- Mermaid diagrams - preserve the complete diagram syntax
- Nested markdown elements
- Multi-line content that might contain ## inside code blocks
CRITICAL: Use proper parsing that understands markdown context. A ## inside a code block is NOT a section header.]]
### 3. Create Individual Files
For each extracted section:
1. **Generate filename**: Convert the section heading to lowercase-dash-case
- Remove special characters
- Replace spaces with dashes
- Example: "## Tech Stack" → `tech-stack.md`
2. **Adjust heading levels**:
- The level 2 heading becomes level 1 (# instead of ##) in the sharded new document
- All subsection levels decrease by 1:
```txt
- ### → ##
- #### → ###
- ##### → ####
- etc.
```
3. **Write content**: Save the adjusted content to the new file
### 4. Create Index File
Create an `index.md` file in the sharded folder that:
1. Contains the original level 1 heading and any content before the first level 2 section
2. Lists all the sharded files with links:
```markdown
# Original Document Title
[Original introduction content if any]
## Sections
- [Section Name 1](./section-name-1.md)
- [Section Name 2](./section-name-2.md)
- [Section Name 3](./section-name-3.md)
...
```
### 5. Preserve Special Content
1. **Code blocks**: Must capture complete blocks including:
```language
content
```
2. **Mermaid diagrams**: Preserve complete syntax:
```mermaid
graph TD
...
```
3. **Tables**: Maintain proper markdown table formatting
4. **Lists**: Preserve indentation and nesting
5. **Inline code**: Preserve backticks
6. **Links and references**: Keep all markdown links intact
7. **Template markup**: If documents contain {{placeholders}} ,preserve exactly
### 6. Validation
After sharding:
1. Verify all sections were extracted
2. Check that no content was lost
3. Ensure heading levels were properly adjusted
4. Confirm all files were created successfully
### 7. Report Results
Provide a summary:
```text
Document sharded successfully:
- Source: [original document path]
- Destination: docs/[folder-name]/
- Files created: [count]
- Sections:
- section-name-1.md: "Section Title 1"
- section-name-2.md: "Section Title 2"
...
```
## Important Notes
- Never modify the actual content, only adjust heading levels
- Preserve ALL formatting, including whitespace where significant
- Handle edge cases like sections with code blocks containing ## symbols
- Ensure the sharding is reversible (could reconstruct the original from shards)

# Correct Course Task
## Purpose
- Guide a structured response to a change trigger using the `.bmad-core/checklists/change-checklist`.
- Analyze the impacts of the change on epics, project artifacts, and the MVP, guided by the checklist's structure.
- Explore potential solutions (e.g., adjust scope, rollback elements, re-scope features) as prompted by the checklist.
- Draft specific, actionable proposed updates to any affected project artifacts (e.g., epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document sections) based on the analysis.
- Produce a consolidated "Sprint Change Proposal" document that contains the impact analysis and the clearly drafted proposed edits for user review and approval.
- Ensure a clear handoff path if the nature of the changes necessitates fundamental replanning by other core agents (like PM or Architect).
## Instructions
### 1. Initial Setup & Mode Selection
- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:**
- Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated.
- Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact.
- Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `.bmad-core/checklists/change-checklist`.
- **Establish Interaction Mode:**
- Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task:
- **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the change-checklist section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement."
- **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals."
- Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode and then inform the user: "We will now use the change-checklist to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode."
### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode)
- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the change-checklist (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation).
- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode):
- Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user.
- Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact.
- Discuss your findings for each item with the user.
- Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions.
- Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist.
### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched)
- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect):
- Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams).
- **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include:
- Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority.
- Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics.
- Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram).
- Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents.
- Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision).
- If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted.
- If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step.
### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits
- Synthesize the complete change-checklist analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the change-checklist.
- The proposal must clearly present:
- **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward.
- **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]").
- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user.
### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps
- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it.
- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user.
- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:**
- **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate.
- **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort.
## Output Deliverables
- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain:
- A summary of the change-checklist analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path).
- Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts.
- **Implicit:** An annotated change-checklist (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process.

# Initialize Memory Bank
This task creates and initializes the Memory Bank structure for maintaining context across AI sessions. The Memory Bank ensures continuity and deep understanding of the project even when AI memory resets.
## Purpose
The Memory Bank serves as persistent memory for AI agents, containing:
- Project foundation and goals
- Current work context
- System architecture and patterns
- Technical decisions and constraints
- Progress tracking
## Initial Setup
### 1. Create Directory Structure
[[LLM: The Memory Bank location follows the standard defined in project-scaffolding-preference.md]]
```bash
mkdir -p docs/memory-bank
```
### 2. Determine Initialization Type
Ask the user:
- Is this a new project? → Create from scratch
- Is this an existing project? → Analyze and populate
- Do you have existing documentation? → Import and adapt
### 3. Create Core Memory Bank Files
The Memory Bank consists of 6 core files that build upon each other:
#### 3.1 Project Brief (`projectbrief.md`)
Foundation document - the source of truth for project scope:
- Core requirements and goals
- Project vision and objectives
- Success criteria
- Constraints and boundaries
**Note**: Use `project-brief-tmpl.yaml` template in **Memory Bank mode** to generate this file. This ensures compatibility with both standalone project briefs and Memory Bank integration.
#### 3.2 Product Context (`productContext.md`)
The "why" behind the project:
- Problems being solved
- User needs and pain points
- Expected outcomes
- User experience goals
#### 3.3 System Patterns (`systemPatterns.md`)
Technical architecture and decisions:
- System architecture overview
- Key design patterns
- Component relationships
- Integration points
- Critical implementation paths
#### 3.4 Tech Context (`techContext.md`)
Technology stack and environment:
- Languages and frameworks
- Development tools
- Dependencies and versions
- Technical constraints
- Build and deployment
#### 3.5 Active Context (`activeContext.md`)
Current work focus:
- Active work items
- Recent changes
- Current decisions
- Next priorities
- Open questions
#### 3.6 Progress (`progress.md`)
Project state tracking:
- Completed features
- Work in progress
- Known issues
- Technical debt
- Evolution of decisions

# Product Owner (PO) Master Validation Checklist
This checklist serves as a comprehensive framework for the Product Owner to validate project plans before development execution. It adapts intelligently based on project type (greenfield vs brownfield) and includes UI/UX considerations when applicable.
[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - PO MASTER CHECKLIST
PROJECT TYPE DETECTION:
First, determine the project type by checking:
1. Is this a GREENFIELD project (new from scratch)?
- Look for: New project initialization, no existing codebase references
- Check for: prd.md, architecture.md, new project setup stories
2. Is this a BROWNFIELD project (enhancing existing system)?
- Look for: References to existing codebase, enhancement/modification language
- Check for: brownfield-prd.md, brownfield-architecture.md, existing system analysis
3. Does the project include UI/UX components?
- Check for: frontend-architecture.md, UI/UX specifications, design files
- Look for: Frontend stories, component specifications, user interface mentions
DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS:
Based on project type, ensure you have access to:
For GREENFIELD projects:
- prd.md - The Product Requirements Document
- architecture.md - The system architecture
- frontend-architecture.md - If UI/UX is involved
- All epic and story definitions
For BROWNFIELD projects:
- brownfield-prd.md - The brownfield enhancement requirements
- brownfield-architecture.md - The enhancement architecture
- Existing project codebase access (CRITICAL - cannot proceed without this)
- Current deployment configuration and infrastructure details
- Database schemas, API documentation, monitoring setup
SKIP INSTRUCTIONS:
- Skip sections marked [[BROWNFIELD ONLY]] for greenfield projects
- Skip sections marked [[GREENFIELD ONLY]] for brownfield projects
- Skip sections marked [[UI/UX ONLY]] for backend-only projects
- Note all skipped sections in your final report
VALIDATION APPROACH:
1. Deep Analysis - Thoroughly analyze each item against documentation
2. Evidence-Based - Cite specific sections or code when validating
3. Critical Thinking - Question assumptions and identify gaps
4. Risk Assessment - Consider what could go wrong with each decision
EXECUTION MODE:
Ask the user if they want to work through the checklist:
- Section by section (interactive mode) - Review each section, get confirmation before proceeding
- All at once (comprehensive mode) - Complete full analysis and present report at end]]

# Change Navigation Checklist
**Purpose:** To systematically guide the selected Agent and user through the analysis and planning required when a significant change (pivot, tech issue, missing requirement, failed story) is identified during the BMad workflow.
**Instructions:** Review each item with the user. Mark `[x]` for completed/confirmed, `[N/A]` if not applicable, or add notes for discussion points.
[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - CHANGE NAVIGATION
Changes during development are inevitable, but how we handle them determines project success or failure.
Before proceeding, understand:
1. This checklist is for SIGNIFICANT changes that affect the project direction
2. Minor adjustments within a story don't require this process
3. The goal is to minimize wasted work while adapting to new realities
4. User buy-in is critical - they must understand and approve changes
Required context:
- The triggering story or issue
- Current project state (completed stories, current epic)
- Access to PRD, architecture, and other key documents
- Understanding of remaining work planned
APPROACH:
This is an interactive process with the user. Work through each section together, discussing implications and options. The user makes final decisions, but provide expert guidance on technical feasibility and impact.
REMEMBER: Changes are opportunities to improve, not failures. Handle them professionally and constructively.]]
---
## 1. Understand the Trigger & Context
[[LLM: Start by fully understanding what went wrong and why. Don't jump to solutions yet. Ask probing questions:
- What exactly happened that triggered this review?
- Is this a one-time issue or symptomatic of a larger problem?
- Could this have been anticipated earlier?
- What assumptions were incorrect?
Be specific and factual, not blame-oriented.]]
- [ ] **Identify Triggering Story:** Clearly identify the story (or stories) that revealed the issue.
- [ ] **Define the Issue:** Articulate the core problem precisely.
- [ ] Is it a technical limitation/dead-end?
- [ ] Is it a newly discovered requirement?
- [ ] Is it a fundamental misunderstanding of existing requirements?
- [ ] Is it a necessary pivot based on feedback or new information?
- [ ] Is it a failed/abandoned story needing a new approach?
- [ ] **Assess Initial Impact:** Describe the immediate observed consequences (e.g., blocked progress, incorrect functionality, non-viable tech).
- [ ] **Gather Evidence:** Note any specific logs, error messages, user feedback, or analysis that supports the issue definition.
## 2. Epic Impact Assessment
[[LLM: Changes ripple through the project structure. Systematically evaluate:
1. Can we salvage the current epic with modifications?
2. Do future epics still make sense given this change?
3. Are we creating or eliminating dependencies?
4. Does the epic sequence need reordering?
Think about both immediate and downstream effects.]]
- [ ] **Analyze Current Epic:**
- [ ] Can the current epic containing the trigger story still be completed?
- [ ] Does the current epic need modification (story changes, additions, removals)?
- [ ] Should the current epic be abandoned or fundamentally redefined?
- [ ] **Analyze Future Epics:**
- [ ] Review all remaining planned epics.
- [ ] Does the issue require changes to planned stories in future epics?
- [ ] Does the issue invalidate any future epics?
- [ ] Does the issue necessitate the creation of entirely new epics?
- [ ] Should the order/priority of future epics be changed?
- [ ] **Summarize Epic Impact:** Briefly document the overall effect on the project's epic structure and flow.
## 3. Artifact Conflict & Impact Analysis
[[LLM: Documentation drives development in BMad. Check each artifact:
1. Does this change invalidate documented decisions?
2. Are architectural assumptions still valid?
3. Do user flows need rethinking?
4. Are technical constraints different than documented?
Be thorough - missed conflicts cause future problems.]]
- [ ] **Review PRD:**
- [ ] Does the issue conflict with the core goals or requirements stated in the PRD?
- [ ] Does the PRD need clarification or updates based on the new understanding?
- [ ] **Review Architecture Document:**
- [ ] Does the issue conflict with the documented architecture (components, patterns, tech choices)?
- [ ] Are specific components/diagrams/sections impacted?
- [ ] Does the technology list need updating?
- [ ] Do data models or schemas need revision?
- [ ] Are external API integrations affected?
- [ ] Do existing ADRs need to be superseded or updated?
- [ ] Is a new ADR required to document the technical change decision?
- [ ] **Review Frontend Spec (if applicable):**
- [ ] Does the issue conflict with the FE architecture, component library choice, or UI/UX design?
- [ ] Are specific FE components or user flows impacted?
- [ ] **Review Other Artifacts (if applicable):**
- [ ] Consider impact on deployment scripts, IaC, monitoring setup, etc.
- [ ] **Summarize Artifact Impact:** List all artifacts requiring updates and the nature of the changes needed.
## 4. Path Forward Evaluation
[[LLM: Present options clearly with pros/cons. For each path:
1. What's the effort required?
2. What work gets thrown away?
3. What risks are we taking?
4. How does this affect timeline?
5. Is this sustainable long-term?
Be honest about trade-offs. There's rarely a perfect solution.]]
- [ ] **Option 1: Direct Adjustment / Integration:**
- [ ] Can the issue be addressed by modifying/adding future stories within the existing plan?
- [ ] Define the scope and nature of these adjustments.
- [ ] Assess feasibility, effort, and risks of this path.
- [ ] **Option 2: Potential Rollback:**
- [ ] Would reverting completed stories significantly simplify addressing the issue?
- [ ] Identify specific stories/commits to consider for rollback.
- [ ] Assess the effort required for rollback.
- [ ] Assess the impact of rollback (lost work, data implications).
- [ ] Compare the net benefit/cost vs. Direct Adjustment.
- [ ] **Option 3: PRD MVP Review & Potential Re-scoping:**
- [ ] Is the original PRD MVP still achievable given the issue and constraints?
- [ ] Does the MVP scope need reduction (removing features/epics)?
- [ ] Do the core MVP goals need modification?
- [ ] Are alternative approaches needed to meet the original MVP intent?
- [ ] **Extreme Case:** Does the issue necessitate a fundamental replan or potentially a new PRD V2 (to be handled by PM)?
- [ ] **Select Recommended Path:** Based on the evaluation, agree on the most viable path forward.
## 5. Sprint Change Proposal Components
[[LLM: The proposal must be actionable and clear. Ensure:
1. The issue is explained in plain language
2. Impacts are quantified where possible
3. The recommended path has clear rationale
4. Next steps are specific and assigned
5. Success criteria for the change are defined
This proposal guides all subsequent work.]]
(Ensure all agreed-upon points from previous sections are captured in the proposal)
- [ ] **Identified Issue Summary:** Clear, concise problem statement.
- [ ] **Epic Impact Summary:** How epics are affected.
- [ ] **Artifact Adjustment Needs:** List of documents to change.
- [ ] **Recommended Path Forward:** Chosen solution with rationale.
- [ ] **PRD MVP Impact:** Changes to scope/goals (if any).
- [ ] **High-Level Action Plan:** Next steps for stories/updates.
- [ ] **Agent Handoff Plan:** Identify roles needed (PM, Arch, Design Arch, PO).
- [ ] **Memory Bank Updates Required:** Which Memory Bank files need updating (activeContext, systemPatterns, etc.).
- [ ] **Dev Journal Entry Plan:** Key decisions and rationale to document.
## 6. Final Review & Handoff
[[LLM: Changes require coordination. Before concluding:
1. Is the user fully aligned with the plan?
2. Do all stakeholders understand the impacts?
3. Are handoffs to other agents clear?
4. Is there a rollback plan if the change fails?
5. How will we validate the change worked?
Get explicit approval - implicit agreement causes problems.
FINAL REPORT:
After completing the checklist, provide a concise summary:
- What changed and why
- What we're doing about it
- Who needs to do what
- When we'll know if it worked
Keep it action-oriented and forward-looking.]]
- [ ] **Review Checklist:** Confirm all relevant items were discussed.
- [ ] **Review Sprint Change Proposal:** Ensure it accurately reflects the discussion and decisions.
- [ ] **User Approval:** Obtain explicit user approval for the proposal.
- [ ] **Confirm Next Steps:** Reiterate the handoff plan and the next actions to be taken by specific agents.

# Sprint Review Triggers
This document outlines when and how to conduct sprint reviews within the BMAD framework.
## When to Conduct Sprint Reviews
### Regular Cadence
- **End of Sprint**: Always conduct at the conclusion of each defined sprint period
- **Weekly/Bi-weekly**: Based on your sprint duration
- **After Major Milestones**: When significant features or phases complete
### Event-Based Triggers
- **Epic Completion**: When all stories in an epic are done
- **Release Preparation**: Before any production release
- **Team Changes**: When team composition changes significantly
- **Process Issues**: When recurring blockers or challenges arise
- **Client Reviews**: Before or after stakeholder demonstrations
## Sprint Review Components
### 1. **Metrics Gathering** (Automated)
- Git commit analysis
- PR merge tracking
- Issue closure rates
- Test coverage changes
- Build/deployment success rates
### 2. **Achievement Documentation**
- Feature completions with evidence
- Technical improvements made
- Documentation updates
- Bug fixes and resolutions
### 3. **Retrospective Elements**
- What went well (celebrate successes)
- What didn't go well (identify issues)
- What we learned (capture insights)
- What we'll try next (action items)
### 4. **Memory Bank Updates**
- Update progress.md with completed features
- Update activeContext.md with current state
- Document new patterns in systemPatterns.md
- Reflect on technical decisions
## Sprint Review Best Practices
### Preparation
- Schedule review 1-2 days before sprint end
- Gather metrics using git commands beforehand
- Review dev journals from the sprint
- Prepare demo materials if applicable
### Facilitation
- Keep to 60-90 minutes maximum
- Encourage all team members to contribute
- Focus on facts and evidence
- Balance positive and improvement areas
- Make action items specific and assignable
### Documentation
- Use consistent naming: `YYYYMMDD-sprint-review.md`
- Place in `docs/devJournal/` directory
- Link to relevant PRs, issues, and commits
- Include screenshots or recordings when helpful
### Follow-up
- Assign owners to all action items
- Set deadlines for improvements
- Review previous sprint's action items
- Update project Memory Bank
- Share outcomes with stakeholders
## Integration with BMAD Workflow
### Before Sprint Review
1. Complete all story reviews
2. Update CHANGELOG.md
3. Ensure dev journals are current
4. Close completed issues/PRs
### During Sprint Review
1. Use `*sprint-review` command as Scrum Master
2. Follow the guided template
3. Gather team input actively
4. Document honestly and thoroughly
### After Sprint Review
1. Update Memory Bank (`*update-memory-bank`)
2. Create next sprint's initial backlog
3. Communicate outcomes to stakeholders
4. Schedule action item check-ins
5. Archive sprint artifacts
## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
- **Skipping Reviews**: Even failed sprints need reviews
- **Solo Reviews**: Include the whole team when possible
- **Blame Sessions**: Focus on process, not people
- **No Action Items**: Every review should produce improvements
- **Lost Knowledge**: Always document in standard location
- **Metrics Without Context**: Numbers need interpretation
## Quick Reference
### Git Commands for Metrics
```bash
# Commits in sprint
git log --since="2024-01-01" --until="2024-01-14" --oneline | wc -l
# PRs merged
git log --merges --since="2024-01-01" --until="2024-01-14" --oneline
# Issues closed
git log --since="2024-01-01" --until="2024-01-14" --grep="close[sd]\|fixe[sd]" --oneline
# Active branches
git branch --format='%(refname:short) %(creatordate:short)' | grep '2024-01'
```
