PRD Workflow Router Instructions
This workflow requires a workflow status file to exist ALWAYS check for existing bmm-workflow-status.md first If no status file exists, direct user to run workflow-status first The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project_root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
Check if any bmm-workflow-status*.md files exist in {output_folder}/
**⚠️ No Workflow Status File Found**The plan-project workflow requires an existing workflow status file.
Please run workflow-status first to:
- Map out your complete workflow journey
- Determine project type and level
- Create the status file with your planned workflow
To proceed:
- Load any agent (Analyst, PM, or use bmad-master)
- Run:
workflow-status - Complete the workflow planning
- Return here to continue with
plan-project
Or tell me: "run workflow-status" Exit workflow - cannot proceed without status file
Find the most recent bmm-workflow-status.md file Load the status file Extract key information:From Status File:
-
project_type: From "Project Type:" field
-
project_level: From "Project Level:" field (0, 1, 2, 3, or 4)
-
field_type: From "Greenfield/Brownfield:" field
-
planned_workflow: From "Planned Workflow Journey" table
-
current_step: From "Current Step:" field
-
next_step: From "Next Step:" field
Validate this workflow is the correct next step
**⚠️ Workflow Sequence Warning**
According to your status file, your next planned step is: {{next_step}}
But you're trying to run: plan-project
Options:
- Continue anyway - Run plan-project (status file will be updated)
- Follow planned workflow - Run {{next_step}} instead
- Update workflow plan - Run workflow-status to revise plan
Your choice (1-3):
<check if='choice == "2"'>
<output>**Recommended Next Step:**
Load agent: {{next_step_agent}} Run: {{next_step}}
Or tell me: "run {{next_step}}" Exit workflow
<check if='choice == "3"'>
<output>**Update Workflow Plan:**
Run: workflow-status
After updating your plan, return here if needed. Exit workflow
Set status_file_path = existing file path Check for existing workflow outputs based on level in status file:
-
Level 0: Check for tech-spec.md
-
Level 1-2: Check for PRD.md, epic-stories.md, tech-spec.md
-
Level 3-4: Check for PRD.md, epics.md
Found existing workflow status file: bmm-workflow-status.md (Level {{project_level}})
Existing documents detected: {{list_existing_docs}}
Options:
- Continue - Update existing documents
- Start fresh - Archive old documents, create new ones
- Exit - I'm not ready to regenerate these
Your choice (1-3):
<check if='option == "1"'>
<action>Set continuation_mode = true</action>
<action>Will update existing documents</action>
</check>
<check if='option == "2"'>
<action>Archive existing documents to: "{output_folder}/archive/"</action>
<action>Set continuation_mode = false</action>
<action>Will create fresh documents</action>
</check>
<check if='option == "3"'>
<action>Exit workflow</action>
</check>
Set continuation_mode = false
Ready to create new documents
Status File Data Loaded:
- Project Type: {{project_type}}
- Project Level: {{project_level}}
- Field Type: {{field_type}}
- Current Phase: {{current_phase}}
What type of planning do you need?
Based on your project (Level {{project_level}} {{project_type}}):
{{#if project_level == 0}} Recommended: Tech spec only (Level 0 path) {{/if}}
{{#if project_level == 1}} Recommended: Tech spec + epic/stories (Level 1 path) {{/if}}
{{#if project_level >= 2}} Recommended: Full PRD + epics (Level {{project_level}} path) {{/if}}
Other Options:
- Follow recommended path (recommended)
- UX/UI specification only
- Generate AI Frontend Prompt (from existing specs)
- Describe custom needs
Select an option (1-4):
Capture user selection as {{planning_type}}
{installed_path}/ux/workflow.yaml Pass mode="standalone" to UX workflow Exit router workflow (skip remaining steps) Check for existing UX spec or PRD {project-root}/bmad/bmm/tasks/ai-fe-prompt.md Exit router workflow after prompt generationUse project_level and project_type from status file to route to appropriate workflow
Read status file to check if additional context is needed
**⚠️ Brownfield Documentation Needed**Your status file indicates this brownfield project needs codebase documentation.
The document-project workflow was flagged in your planned workflow.
Options:
- Generate docs now - Run document-project workflow (~10-15 min)
- Skip for now - I'll provide context through questions
- Already have docs - I have documentation to reference
Choose option (1-3):
Invoke document-project workflow before continuing {project-root}/bmad/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/document-project/workflow.yaml Wait for documentation to complete Update status file: Mark document-project as "Complete" in planned workflow Set gather_context_via_questions = true Will ask detailed questions during spec generation Set has_documentation = true Will reference existing documentation **Project Level Not Yet Determined**Your status file indicates the project level will be determined during planning.
Based on what you want to build, what level best describes your project?
- Single atomic change - Bug fix, add endpoint, single file change
- Coherent feature - Add search, implement SSO, new component (2-3 stories)
- Small complete system - Admin tool, team app, prototype (multiple epics)
- Full product - Customer portal, SaaS MVP (subsystems, integrations)
- Platform/ecosystem - Enterprise suite, multi-tenant system
Your level (0-4):
Capture confirmed_level Update status file with confirmed project_level
**Project Type Clarification Needed**Please describe your project type so we can load the correct planning template.
Examples: web, mobile, desktop, backend, library, cli, game, embedded, data, extension, infra
Your project type:
Capture and map to project_type_id from project-types.csv Update status file with confirmed project_type
Update status file before proceeding:
current_workflow Set to: "tech-spec (Level 0 - in progress)" Set to: "tech-spec (Level 1 - in progress)" Set to: "PRD (Level {{project_level}} - in progress)"
current_step Set to: "plan-project"
progress_percentage Increment by 10% (planning started)
Add to decisions log:
- **{{date}}**: Started plan-project workflow. Routing to {{workflow_type}} workflow based on Level {{project_level}} {{project_type}} project.
Based on project type and level from status file, load ONLY the needed instructions:
{installed_path}/gdd/workflow.yaml GDD workflow handles all game project levels internally Pass status_file_path and continuation_mode to workflow {installed_path}/tech-spec/workflow.yaml Pass level=0 to tech-spec workflow Tech-spec workflow will generate tech-spec + 1 story Pass status_file_path and continuation_mode to workflow {installed_path}/tech-spec/workflow.yaml Pass level=1 to tech-spec workflow Tech-spec workflow will generate tech-spec + epic + 2-3 stories Pass status_file_path and continuation_mode to workflow {installed_path}/prd/workflow.yaml Pass level=2 context to PRD workflow (loads instructions-med.md) Pass status_file_path and continuation_mode to workflow {installed_path}/prd/workflow.yaml Pass level context to PRD workflow (loads instructions-lg.md) Pass status_file_path and continuation_mode to workflowPass context to invoked workflow:
- status_file_path: {{status_file_path}}
- continuation_mode: {{continuation_mode}}
- existing_documents: {{document_list}}
- project_level: {{project_level}}
- project_type: {{project_type}}
- field_type: {{field_type}}
- gather_context_via_questions: {{gather_context_via_questions}} (if brownfield without docs)
The invoked workflow will update the status file when complete
