## Major Improvements
### 1. Elicitation System Modernization
- Removed legacy `<elicit-required />` tag from workflow.xml
- Replaced with direct `<invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml</invoke-task>` pattern
- More explicit, self-documenting, and eliminates indirection layer
- Added strategic elicitation points across all planning workflows:
- PRD: After success criteria, scope, functional requirements, and final review
- Create-Epics-And-Stories: After epic proposals and each epic's stories
- Architecture: After decisions, structure, patterns, implementation patterns, and final doc
- Updated audit-workflow tag scanner to remove obsolete elicit-required reference
### 2. Input Document Discovery Streamlined
- Replaced verbose 19-line "Input Document Discovery" sections with single critical tag
- New format: `<critical>Input documents specified in workflow.yaml input_file_patterns...</critical>`
- Eliminates duplication - workflow.yaml already defines patterns
- Updated across 6 workflows (PRD, create-epics-and-stories, architecture, tech-spec, UX, gate-check)
- Saved ~114 lines of repeated bloat
### 3. Scale System Migration (Levels 0-4 → 3 Tracks)
- Updated PRD workflow from "Level 0-4" to "Quick Flow / BMad Method / Enterprise Method"
- Changed `project_level` variable to `project_track`
- Removed `target_scale` variable (no longer needed)
- Updated workflow.yaml descriptions to reference tracks not levels
- Updated checklist from "Level 2" and "Level 3-4" to "BMad Method" and "Enterprise Method"
- Aligns with new scale-adaptive-system.md (3-track methodology)
### 4. Epic/Story Template Standardization
- Replaced hardcoded 8-epic template with clean repeating pattern using N/M variables
- Added BDD-style acceptance criteria (Given/When/Then/And)
- Removed instructional bloat from templates (moved to instructions.md where it belongs)
- Template shows OUTPUT structure, instructions show PROCESS
- Applied to both create-epics-and-stories and tech-spec workflows
- Templates now use HTML comments to indicate repeating sections
### 5. Workflow.yaml Pattern Consistency
- Standardized input_file_patterns across all workflows
- Separated `recommended_inputs` (semantic WHAT) from `input_file_patterns` (file discovery WHERE)
- Removed duplication between recommended_inputs file paths and input_file_patterns
- Create-epics-and-stories now uses proper whole/sharded pattern like architecture workflow
- Solutioning-gate-check cleaned up to use semantic descriptions not file paths
## Files Changed (18)
- Core: workflow.xml (removed elicit-required tag and references)
- Audit workflow: Updated tag pattern scanner
- PRD workflow: Elicitation points, track migration, input discovery
- Create-epics-and-stories: Template rebuild, BDD format, elicitation, input patterns
- Tech-spec: Template rebuild, BDD format, input discovery
- UX Design: Input discovery streamlined
- Architecture: Elicitation at 5 key decision points, input discovery
- Gate-check: Input pattern cleanup, input discovery
## Impact
- More consistent elicitation across workflows
- Cleaner, more maintainable templates
- Better separation of concerns (templates vs instructions)
- Aligned with v6 3-track scale system
- Reduced bloat and duplication significantly
