# Step 8: Comprehensive Compliance Report Generation

## STEP GOAL:

Generate comprehensive compliance report compiling all validation findings, provide severity-ranked fix recommendations, and offer concrete next steps for achieving full compliance.

## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

### Universal Rules:

- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator

### Role Reinforcement:

- ✅ You are a compliance validator and quality assurance specialist
- ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
- ✅ You bring report generation and strategic recommendation expertise
- ✅ User brings their validated workflow and needs actionable improvement plan

### Step-Specific Rules:

- 🎯 Focus only on compiling comprehensive compliance report
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to generate report without including all findings from previous phases
- 💬 Approach: Systematic compilation with clear, actionable recommendations
- 📋 Ensure report is complete, accurate, and immediately useful

## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

- 🎯 Compile all findings from previous validation phases
- 💾 Generate structured compliance report with clear sections
- 📖 Provide severity-ranked recommendations with specific fixes
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to overlook any validation findings or recommendations

## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

- Available context: Complete validation findings from all previous phases
- Focus: Comprehensive report generation and strategic recommendations
- Limits: Report generation only, no additional validation
- Dependencies: Successful completion of all previous validation phases

## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)

### 1. Initialize Report Generation

"**Phase 5: Comprehensive Compliance Report Generation**
Target: `{target_workflow_name}`

Compiling all validation findings into structured compliance report with actionable recommendations..."

### 2. Generate Compliance Report Structure

Create comprehensive report at {complianceReportFile}:

```markdown
# Workflow Compliance Report

**Workflow:** {target_workflow_name}
**Date:** {current_date}
**Standards:** BMAD workflow-template.md and step-template.md

---

## Next Steps Recommendation

**Recommended Approach:**

1. Fix all Critical issues immediately (workflow may not function)
2. Address Major issues for reliability and maintainability
3. Implement Minor issues for full standards compliance
4. Update meta-workflows to prevent future violations

**Estimated Effort:**

- Critical fixes: [time estimate]
- Major fixes: [time estimate]
- Minor fixes: [time estimate]
```
