🚀 BMAD Method Quality Framework Enhancements

Transform AI-assisted development from basic agent orchestration into enterprise-grade quality engineering with systematic accountability, automated workflows, and collaborative problem-solving capabilities.


🎯 What's New

Six Game-Changing Features

Feature Purpose Key Innovation
🔍 Reality Enforcement Stop "bull in china shop" development Automated simulation pattern detection with A-F scoring
🛡️ Regression Prevention Ensure fixes don't break existing code Story context analysis with pattern compliance
⚖️ Composite Quality Scoring Objective quality measurement Weighted scoring: 40% Reality + 35% Regression + 25% Tech Debt
🔄 Auto-Remediation Workflow Eliminate manual QA handoffs Automatic fix story generation with regression safety
🔗 Loop Detection & Escalation Break debugging cycles automatically Copy-paste prompts for external LLM collaboration
📤 Auto Git Push Streamline perfect completions Intelligent push with comprehensive criteria validation

🛠️ Enhanced Commands

💻 Developer Agent (James)

*develop-story        # Systematic story implementation with auto-progress tracking
*reality-audit        # Comprehensive quality validation with regression analysis  
*build-context        # Pre-fix investigation with git history and risk assessment
*escalate            # External AI collaboration when stuck in loops

🧪 QA Agent (Quinn)

*reality-audit        # Manual quality audit with regression prevention analysis
*audit-validation     # Auto-remediation audit with guaranteed fix story generation
*create-remediation   # Generate regression-safe fix stories with pattern compliance
*Push2Git            # Override safety gates to push despite quality issues

Automation Highlights

🤖 What Happens Automatically

🔄 Loop Detection (After 3 Failed Attempts)

  • Tracks solution attempts per specific issue
  • Generates copy-paste collaboration prompts for Gemini/GPT-4/Claude
  • Resets counters on successful progress

📊 Quality Enforcement (Scores Below Thresholds)

  • Composite Reality < 80% → Auto-remediation triggered
  • Regression Prevention < 80% → Pattern analysis required
  • Technical Debt < 70% → Code quality improvements needed

📤 Git Push (Perfect Completion Only)

  • Story 100% complete + Quality scores met + Clean build + Zero simulation patterns
  • Intelligent commit messages with quality metrics
  • *Push2Git available for manual override when needed

🎯 Quality Scoring System

📊 Composite Score Breakdown

  • 🔍 Simulation Reality (40%) - Pattern detection + build validation
  • 🛡️ Regression Prevention (35%) - Pattern consistency + architectural compliance
  • ⚖️ Technical Debt Prevention (25%) - Code quality + maintainability

🎖️ Grade Thresholds

Grade Score Status
🟢 A 90-100 Exceptional - Auto-push eligible
🔵 B 80-89 Good - Meets quality gates
🟡 C 70-79 Acceptable - Needs improvement
🟠 D 60-69 Poor - Remediation required
🔴 F <60 Failing - Major issues detected

🚀 Getting Started

1. Develop Your Story

*develop-story

Systematic implementation with automatic task completion tracking

2. Validate Quality

*reality-audit

Comprehensive audit with potential auto-push if criteria met

3. Handle Issues (if any)

*audit-validation    # Auto-generates fix stories
*create-remediation  # Manual remediation story creation
*Push2Git           # Override push when accepting risks

4. Collaborate When Stuck (automatic)

After 3 failed attempts, get copy-paste prompts for external AI collaboration


📈 Expected Impact

⏱️ Time Savings

  • 60+ minutes saved per debugging session through loop prevention
  • Eliminated handoff delays between QA and Developer agents
  • Automatic workflow generation replaces manual story creation

🎯 Quality Improvements

  • 75% reduction in simulation patterns reaching production
  • Zero tolerance enforcement for mock implementations
  • Systematic quality gates ensure consistent standards

🔄 Process Excellence

  • Proactive issue detection before code review
  • Pattern-based development reuses successful approaches
  • Continuous learning from collaborative AI sessions
