When you open a PR to the main repository, all CI/CD workflows run automatically, regardless of your fork's settings. - -### Q: Can I selectively enable specific workflows? - -**A:** The `ENABLE_CI_IN_FORK` variable enables all workflows. For selective control, you'd need to modify individual workflow files. - -### Q: Do I need to enable CI in my fork to contribute? - -**A:** No! Most contributors never need to enable CI in their forks. Local testing and PR validation are sufficient for most contributions. - -### Q: Will disabling CI affect my ability to merge PRs? - -**A:** No! PR merge requirements are based on CI runs in the main repository, not your fork. - -### Q: Why was this implemented? - -**A:** With over 1,600 forks of BMAD-METHOD, this saves thousands of GitHub Actions minutes monthly while maintaining code quality standards. - -## Need Help? - -- Join our [Discord Community](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj) for support -- Check the [Contributing Guide](../README.md#contributing) for more information -- Open an issue if you encounter any problems - ---- - -> šŸ’” **Pro Tip**: This fork-friendly approach is particularly valuable for projects using AI/LLM tools that create many experimental commits, as it prevents unnecessary CI runs while maintaining code quality standards. diff --git a/.github/FUNDING.yaml b/.github/FUNDING.yaml index ab00c585..089d6f4f 100644 --- a/.github/FUNDING.yaml +++ b/.github/FUNDING.yaml @@ -5,10 +5,10 @@ patreon: # Replace with a single Patreon username open_collective: # Replace with a single Open Collective username ko_fi: # Replace with a single Ko-fi username tidelift: # Replace with a single Tidelift platform-name/package-name e.g., npm/babel -community_bridge: # Replace with a single Community Bridge project-name e.g., cloud-foundry +community_bridge: # Replace with a single Community Bridge project_name e.g., cloud-foundry liberapay: # Replace with a single Liberapay username issuehunt: # Replace with a single IssueHunt username -lfx_crowdfunding: # Replace with a single LFX Crowdfunding project-name e.g., cloud-foundry +lfx_crowdfunding: # Replace with a single LFX Crowdfunding project_name e.g., cloud-foundry polar: # Replace with a single Polar username buy_me_a_coffee: bmad thanks_dev: # Replace with a single thanks.dev username diff --git a/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yaml b/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yaml new file mode 100644 index 00000000..3ba13e0c --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yaml @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +blank_issues_enabled: false diff --git a/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md b/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md deleted file mode 100644 index 0ceb9a56..00000000 --- a/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,22 +0,0 @@ ---- -name: Feature request -about: Suggest an idea for this project -title: '' -labels: '' -assignees: '' ---- - -**Did you discuss the idea first in Discord Server (#general-dev)** -Yes/No - Link to thread.

Unlike traditional AI tools that do the work for you, BMad-CORE's specialized agents guide you through the facilitation of optimized collaborative reflective workflows to unlock your full potential across any domain. It is this magic that powers the BMad Method, which is just one of the many modules that exist or are coming soon. -**BMAD-METHODā„¢'s Two Key Innovations:** +**[Subscribe to BMadCode on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@BMadCode?sub_confirmation=1)** and **[Join our amazing, active Discord Community](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj)** -**1. Agentic Planning:** Dedicated agents (Analyst, PM, Architect) collaborate with you to create detailed, consistent PRDs and Architecture documents.

Brainstorming that was part of the BMad Method in the past is now part of this standalone module along with other workflows. The power of BMad modules still allows modules to borrow from each other - so the CIS, while standalone, also powers the brainstorming abilities for certain agents within the BMad Method! -```bash -npx bmad-method install -# OR -git pull -npm run install:bmad -``` - -This will: - -- āœ… Automatically detect your existing v4 installation -- āœ… Update only the files that have changed and add new files -- āœ… Create `.bak` backup files for any custom modifications you've made -- āœ… Preserve your project-specific configurations - -This makes it easy to benefit from the latest improvements, bug fixes, and new agents without losing your customizations! - -## Quick Start - -### One Command for Everything (IDE Installation) - -**Just run one of these commands:** - -```bash -npx bmad-method install -# OR if you already have BMad installed: -git pull -npm run install:bmad -``` - -This single command handles: - -- **New installations** - Sets up BMad in your project -- **Upgrades** - Updates existing installations automatically -- **Expansion packs** - Installs any expansion packs you've added to package.json - -> **That's it!** Whether you're installing for the first time, upgrading, or adding expansion packs - these commands do everything. +## Alpha Installation and Testing **Prerequisites**: [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20+ required -### Fastest Start: Web UI Full Stack Team at your disposal (2 minutes) +Clone this repo ALPHA BRANCH to a folder.

See the [User guide](docs/user-guide.md) for more details +The Core Module will always be installed. The default initial module selection will be BMM for all the core BMad Method functionality and flow from brainstorming through software development. -### Alternative: Clone and Build +Note on installation: All installs now go to a single folder called `bmad` instead of multiple folders. When you install a module, you may still see folders other than the one you selected in the destination/bmad folder. This is intentional and not a bug - it will copy over to those other folders only the minimum that is needed because it is shared across the modules. For example, for now during Alpha to test this feature - BMM relies on the brainstorming feature of the CIS and some items from CORE - so this is why even if you only select BMM, you will still see bmad/core and bmad/cis along with bmad/bmm. -```bash -git clone https://github.com/bmadcode/bmad-method.git -npm run install:bmad # build and install all to a destination folder -``` +## What's New in V6-ALPHA -## šŸŒŸ Beyond Software Development - Expansion Packs +Stability, customizability, installation Q&A, massive prompt improvements. -BMADā„¢'s natural language framework works in ANY domain. Expansion packs provide specialized AI agents for creative writing, business strategy, health & wellness, education, and more. Also expansion packs can expand the core BMAD-METHODā„¢ with specific functionality that is not generic for all cases. [See the Expansion Packs Guide](docs/expansion-packs.md) and learn to create your own! +Everything has been rewritten from the ground up with best practices and advances learned over previous versions, standardizing on prompt format techniques. There is a lot more core usage of XML or XML-type tags within markdown, with many conventions and standards that drastically increase adherence of the agents. -## Documentation & Resources +Customizability is a key theme of this new version. All agents are now customizable by modifying a file under the installation bmad/\_cfg/agents. Every agent installed will generate an agent file that you can customize. The nice thing about this is when agents change or update in future versions, your customizations in these sidecar files will never be lost! You can change the name, their personas, how they talk, what they call you, and most exciting - what language they communicate in! -### Essential Guides +The BMad installer is 100% new from the ground up. First, along the way you will add your name (what the agents will call you and what you will author documents as), what language you want the agents to talk to you in, and every module you select will have its own set of questions to customize the experience. Also, when you install, a consolidated agent party is created so now when you use party-mode in the IDE, it is super efficient for the agent running the party to simulate all installed agents. Post alpha release, this will manifest itself in many interesting ways in time for beta - but for now, have fun with party mode and epic sprint retrospectives! -- šŸ“– **[User Guide](docs/user-guide.md)** - Complete walkthrough from project inception to completion -- šŸ—ļø **[Core Architecture](docs/core-architecture.md)** - Technical deep dive and system design -- šŸš€ **[Expansion Packs Guide](docs/expansion-packs.md)** - Extend BMad to any domain beyond software development +Speaking of installation - everything will now install to a single core bmad folder. No more separate root folders for every module! Instead, all will be contained within bmad/. -## Support +All IDE selections now support the option to add in special install functionality per module. As an example with the alpha release, if you select the BMad Method and Claude Code, you will have an option to install pre-created Claude sub-agents. Not only do they get installed, but certain workflows will have injected into their instructions key indicators to the agent when to activate the sub-agents, removing some non-determinism. The sub-agent experience is still undergoing some work, so install them if you choose, and remove them if they become a pain. -- šŸ’¬ [Discord Community](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj) -- šŸ› [Issue Tracker](https://github.com/bmadcode/bmad-method/issues) -- šŸ’¬ [Discussions](https://github.com/bmadcode/bmad-method/discussions) +Also, when you read about the BoMB below, it will link to more information about various features in this new evolution of the BMad Code - one of the exciting ones is the new agent types - there are 3 now! The most exciting, with more info coming soon, are the new standalone tiny agents that you can easily generate and deploy free from any module - specialized for your own exact needs. + +### BMad Method + +The BMad Method is significantly transforming and yet more powerful than ever. **Scale Adaptive** is a new term that means when you start the workflow to create a PRD or a GDD (or a simple tech-spec in the case of simple tasks), you will first answer some questions about the scope of the project, new vs. existing codebase and its state, and other questions. This will trigger a leveling of the effort from 0-4, and based on this scale adaptation, it will guide the workflow in different directions. + +Right now, this is still a bit alpha feeling and disjointed, but before beta it will be tied together through all four workflow phases with a potential single orchestration if you choose - or you can still jump right in, especially for simple tasks that just need a simple tech-spec and then right off to development. + +To test and experience this now, here is the new main flow for BMM v6 alpha: + +(Docs will be all linked in soon with new user guide and workflow diagrams coming this week) + +NOTE: Game Development expansion packs are all being rolled into the official BNad Method module - along with any more game engine platforms being added. Additionally game development planning for the GDD is not only scale adpative, but also adapts to the type of game you are making - so you can plan all that is needed for your dream game! + +#### **PHASE 1 - Analysis** + +**Analyst:** + +- `brainstorm-project` +- `research` (market research, deep research, deep research prompt generation) +- `product-brief` + +**Game Designer (Optional):** + +- `brainstorm-game` +- `game-brief` +- `research` + +--- + +#### **PHASE 2 - Planning** + +**PM:** + +- `plan-project` + +**Game Designer:** + +- `plan-game` (calls the same plan-project workflow, but input docs or your answers should drive it towards GDD) + +--- + +#### **PHASE 3 - Solutioning** + +**Architect or Game Architect:** + +Just like the scale-adjusted planning, architecture is the same. No more document sharding though!! Now in the IDE you create an architecture that adapts to the type of project you are working on - based on the inputs from your PRD, it will adapt the sections it includes to your project type. No longer is the architecture biased just towards full stack or back-end APIs. There are many more options now, from embedded hardware to mobile to many other options - with many more coming with beta. + +- `solution-architecture` + +> **Note:** Testing, DevOps, or security concerns beyond the basics are generally not included in the architecture. If it is more complicated, especially for complex massive undertakings, you will be suggested to pull in specific agents to help with those areas. _(Not released with alpha.0, coming soon)_ + +Once the full architecture is complete, you can still use the PO to run the checklist to validate the epics and stories are still correct - although the architect should also be keeping them updated as needed (needs some tuning during alpha). Once done, then it's time to create the tech spec for your first epic. + +- `tech-spec` + +The tech spec pulls all technical information from all planning thus far, along with any further research needed from the web to produce an **Epic Tech Spec** - each epic will have one. This is going to make the SM even more capable of finding the info it needs for each story when we get to phase 4!! + +--- + +#### **PHASE 4 - Implementation** + +And now here we are at phase 4 - where we, just like in BMad Method of yore, use the SM and the Dev Agent. No more QA agent here though; the dev now has a dev task and also a senior dev agent review task. + +**Scrum Master (SM) Tasks:** + +Before the dev starts, the SM will: + +1. `create-story` +2. `story-context` _(NEW!)_ + +**Story-context** is a game-changing new feature beyond what we had with create-story in the past.

Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) - -- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types -- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development -- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions - -#### 4. Reusable Resources - -- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories -- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" -- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review -- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences - -### Dual Environment Architecture - -#### IDE Environment - -- Users interact directly with agent markdown files -- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically -- Supports real-time file operations and project integration -- Optimized for development workflow execution - -#### Web UI Environment - -- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent -- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team -- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces -- Provides complete context in one package - -### Template Processing System - -BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: - -1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates -2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output -3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming - -### Technical Preferences Integration - -The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: - -- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects -- Eliminates repetitive technology specification -- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences -- Evolves over time with lessons learned - -### Build and Delivery Process - -The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: - -1. Reading agent or team definition files -2. Recursively resolving all dependencies -3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators -4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces - -This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. - -## Complete Development Workflow - -### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** - -**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: - -1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis - -**For All Projects**: - -1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis -2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) -3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements -4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation -5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` - -#### Example Planning Prompts - -**For PRD Creation**: - -```text -"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. -Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." -``` - -**For Architecture Design**: - -```text -"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture -that can handle [specific requirements]." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE - -**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** - -- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project - -### IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): - - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Two methods to shard: - a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat - b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents - - Shards `docs/prd.md` ā†’ `docs/prd/` folder - - Shards `docs/architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Content**: - - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order - - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation - -Resulting Folder Structure: - -- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections -- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections -- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories - -1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `@sm` ā†’ `*create` - - SM executes create-next-story task - - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@dev` - - Agent asks which story to implement - - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time - - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Dev maintains File List of all changes - - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing - - **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@qa` ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM ā†’ Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. - -### Status Tracking Workflow - -Stories progress through defined statuses: - -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Development - -- Business analysis and market research -- Product requirements and feature definition -- System architecture and design -- Development execution -- Testing and deployment - -#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. - -**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: - -**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: - -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` -3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` - - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided - - Choose "single document" format for Web UI - - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas - - Creates one comprehensive markdown file - - Avoids bloating docs with unused code - -**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: - -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** -2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` - - More thorough but can create excessive documentation - -4. **Requirements Gathering**: - - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` - - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points - - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment - - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes - -5. **Architecture Planning**: - - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` - - **Integration Strategy**: How new features integrate with existing system - - **Migration Planning**: Gradual rollout and backwards compatibility - - **Risk Mitigation**: Addressing potential breaking changes - -**Brownfield-Specific Resources**: - -**Templates**: - -- `brownfield-prd-tmpl.md`: Comprehensive enhancement planning with existing system analysis -- `brownfield-architecture-tmpl.md`: Integration-focused architecture for existing systems - -**Tasks**: - -- `document-project`: Generates comprehensive documentation from existing codebase -- `brownfield-create-epic`: Creates single epic for focused enhancements (when full PRD is overkill) -- `brownfield-create-story`: Creates individual story for small, isolated changes - -**When to Use Each Approach**: - -**Full Brownfield Workflow** (Recommended for): - -- Major feature additions -- System modernization -- Complex integrations -- Multiple related changes - -**Quick Epic/Story Creation** (Use when): - -- Single, focused enhancement -- Isolated bug fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing system - -**Critical Success Factors**: - -1. **Documentation First**: Always run `document-project` if docs are outdated/missing -2. **Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant code sections -3. **Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -**For detailed guide**: See `docs/working-in-the-brownfield.md` - -## Document Creation Best Practices - -### Required File Naming for Framework Integration - -- `docs/prd.md` - Product Requirements Document -- `docs/architecture.md` - System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter**: - -- Agents automatically reference these files during development -- Sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Documents (PRD, Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` -4. **Switch to IDE**: Use IDE agents for development and smaller documents - -### Document Sharding - -Templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original PRD**: - -```markdown -## Goals and Background Context - -## Requirements - -## User Interface Design Goals - -## Success Metrics -``` - -**After Sharding**: - -- `docs/prd/goals-and-background-context.md` -- `docs/prd/requirements.md` -- `docs/prd/user-interface-design-goals.md` -- `docs/prd/success-metrics.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic sharding. - -## Usage Patterns and Best Practices - -### Environment-Specific Usage - -**Web UI Best For**: - -- Initial planning and documentation phases -- Cost-effective large document creation -- Agent consultation and brainstorming -- Multi-agent workflows with orchestrator - -**IDE Best For**: - -- Active development and implementation -- File operations and project integration -- Story management and development cycles -- Code review and debugging - -### Quality Assurance - -- Use appropriate agents for specialized tasks -- Follow Agile ceremonies and review processes -- Maintain document consistency with PO agent -- Regular validation with checklists and templates - -### Performance Optimization - -- Use specific agents vs. `bmad-master` for focused tasks -- Choose appropriate team size for project needs -- Leverage technical preferences for consistency -- Regular context management and cache clearing - -## Success Tips - -- **Use Gemini for big picture planning** - The team-fullstack bundle provides collaborative expertise -- **Use bmad-master for document organization** - Sharding creates manageable chunks -- **Follow the SM ā†’ Dev cycle religiously** - This ensures systematic progress -- **Keep conversations focused** - One agent, one task per conversation -- **Review everything** - Always review and approve before marking complete - -## Contributing to BMAD-METHODā„¢ -

Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. -- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. -- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. -- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. - -### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework - -To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. - -1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. - - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ -2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. - - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ -3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. - - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ -4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. - - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ - -### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt - -You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. - -1. **Gather Foundational Context**: - - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. -2. **Describe the Visuals**: - - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. - - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). -3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: - - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. -4. **Present and Refine**: - - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). - - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. - - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. diff --git a/bmad-core/tasks/index-docs.md b/bmad-core/tasks/index-docs.md deleted file mode 100644 index cb551b23..00000000 --- a/bmad-core/tasks/index-docs.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,175 +0,0 @@ - - -# Index Documentation Task - -## Purpose - -This task maintains the integrity and completeness of the `docs/index.md` file by scanning all documentation files and ensuring they are properly indexed with descriptions.

Update `docs/index.md`: - - Maintain existing structure and organization - - Create level 2 sections (`##`) for each subfolder - - List root-level documents first - - Add missing entries with descriptions - - Update outdated entries - - Remove only entries that were confirmed for removal - - Ensure consistent formatting throughout - -### Index Structure Format - -The index should be organized as follows: - -```markdown -# Documentation Index - -## Root Documents - -### [Document Title](./document.md) - -Brief description of the document's purpose and contents. - -### [Another Document](./another.md) - -Description here. - -## Folder Name - -Documents within the `folder-name/` directory: - -### [Document in Folder](./folder-name/document.md) - -Description of this document. - -### [Another in Folder](./folder-name/another.md) - -Description here. - -## Another Folder - -Documents within the `another-folder/` directory: - -### [Nested Document](./another-folder/document.md) - -Description of nested document. -``` - -### Index Entry Format - -Each entry should follow this format: - -```markdown -### [Document Title](relative/path/to/file.md) - -Brief description of the document's purpose and contents. -``` - -### Rules of Operation - -1. NEVER modify the content of indexed files -2. Preserve existing descriptions in index.md when they are adequate -3. Maintain any existing categorization or grouping in the index -4. Use relative paths for all links (starting with `./`) -5. Ensure descriptions are concise but informative -6. NEVER remove entries without explicit confirmation -7. Report any broken links or inconsistencies found -8. Allow path updates for moved files before considering removal -9. Create folder sections using level 2 headings (`##`) -10. Sort folders alphabetically, with root documents listed first -11. Within each section, sort documents alphabetically by title - -### Process Output - -The task will provide: - -1. A summary of changes made to index.md -2. List of newly indexed files (organized by folder) -3. List of updated entries -4. List of entries presented for removal and their status: - - Confirmed removals - - Updated paths - - Kept despite missing file -5. Any new folders discovered -6. Any other issues or inconsistencies found - -### Handling Missing Files - -For each file referenced in the index but not found in the filesystem: - -1. Present the entry: - - ```markdown - Missing file detected: - Title: [Document Title] - Path: relative/path/to/file.md - Description: Existing description - Section: [Root Documents | Folder Name] - - Options: - - 1. Remove this entry - 2. Update the file path - 3. Keep entry (mark as temporarily unavailable) - - Please choose an option (1/2/3): - ``` - -2. Wait for user confirmation before taking any action -3. Log the decision for the final report - -### Special Cases - -1. **Sharded Documents**: If a folder contains an `index.md` file, treat it as a sharded document: - - Use the folder's `index.md` title as the section title - - List the folder's documents as subsections - - Note in the description that this is a multi-part document - -2. **README files**: Convert `README.md` to more descriptive titles based on content - -3. **Nested Subfolders**: For deeply nested folders, maintain the hierarchy but limit to 2 levels in the main index. Deeper structures should have their own index files. - -## Required Input - -Please provide: - -1. Location of the `docs/` directory (default: `./docs`) -2. Confirmation of write access to `docs/index.md` -3. Any specific categorization preferences -4. Any files or directories to exclude from indexing (e.g., `.git`, `node_modules`) -5. Whether to include hidden files/folders (starting with `.`) - -Would you like to proceed with documentation indexing?

Document ALL technical choices with rationale (why this choice fits the project) - 5. These become constraints for the Architect - be specific and complete - elicit: true - choices: - repository: [Monorepo, Polyrepo] - architecture: [Monolith, Microservices, Serverless] - testing: [Unit Only, Unit + Integration, Full Testing Pyramid] - sections: - - id: repository-structure - title: "Repository Structure: {Monorepo|Polyrepo|Multi-repo}" - - id: service-architecture - title: Service Architecture - instruction: "CRITICAL DECISION - Document the high-level service architecture (e.g., Monolith, Microservices, Serverless functions within a Monorepo)." - - id: testing-requirements - title: Testing Requirements - instruction: "CRITICAL DECISION - Document the testing requirements, unit only, integration, e2e, manual, need for manual testing convenience methods)." - - id: additional-assumptions - title: Additional Technical Assumptions and Requests - instruction: Throughout the entire process of drafting this document, if any other technical assumptions are raised or discovered appropriate for the architect, add them here as additional bulleted items - - - id: epic-list - title: Epic List - instruction: | - Present a high-level list of all epics for user approval. Each epic should have a title and a short (1 sentence) goal statement. This allows the user to review the overall structure before diving into details. - - CRITICAL: Epics MUST be logically sequential following agile best practices: - - - Each epic should deliver a significant, end-to-end, fully deployable increment of testable functionality - - Epic 1 must establish foundational project infrastructure (app setup, Git, CI/CD, core services) unless we are adding new functionality to an existing app, while also delivering an initial piece of functionality, even as simple as a health-check route or display of a simple canary page - remember this when we produce the stories for the first epic! - - Each subsequent epic builds upon previous epics' functionality delivering major blocks of functionality that provide tangible value to users or business when deployed - - Not every project needs multiple epics, an epic needs to deliver value. For example, an API completed can deliver value even if a UI is not complete and planned for a separate epic. - - Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things. - - Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories. For example, adding a logging framework as a last story of an epic, or at the end of a project as a final epic or story would be terrible as we would not have logging from the beginning. - elicit: true - examples: - - "Epic 1: Foundation & Core Infrastructure: Establish project setup, authentication, and basic user management" - - "Epic 2: Core Business Entities: Create and manage primary domain objects with CRUD operations" - - "Epic 3: User Workflows & Interactions: Enable key user journeys and business processes" - - "Epic 4: Reporting & Analytics: Provide insights and data visualization for users" - - - id: epic-details - title: Epic {{epic_number}} {{epic_title}} - repeatable: true - instruction: | - After the epic list is approved, present each epic with all its stories and acceptance criteria as a complete review unit. - - For each epic provide expanded goal (2-3 sentences describing the objective and value all the stories will achieve). - - CRITICAL STORY SEQUENCING REQUIREMENTS: - - - Stories within each epic MUST be logically sequential - - Each story should be a "vertical slice" delivering complete functionality aside from early enabler stories for project foundation - - No story should depend on work from a later story or epic - - Identify and note any direct prerequisite stories - - Focus on "what" and "why" not "how" (leave technical implementation to Architect) yet be precise enough to support a logical sequential order of operations from story to story. - - Ensure each story delivers clear user or business value, try to avoid enablers and build them into stories that deliver value. - - Size stories for AI agent execution: Each story must be completable by a single AI agent in one focused session without context overflow - - Think "junior developer working for 2-4 hours" - stories must be small, focused, and self-contained - - If a story seems complex, break it down further as long as it can deliver a vertical slice - elicit: true - template: "{{epic_goal}}" - sections: - - id: story - title: Story {{epic_number}}.{{story_number}} {{story_title}} - repeatable: true - template: | - As a {{user_type}}, - I want {{action}}, - so that {{benefit}}. - sections: - - id: acceptance-criteria - title: Acceptance Criteria - type: numbered-list - item_template: "{{criterion_number}}: {{criteria}}" - repeatable: true - instruction: | - Define clear, comprehensive, and testable acceptance criteria that: - - - Precisely define what "done" means from a functional perspective - - Are unambiguous and serve as basis for verification - - Include any critical non-functional requirements from the PRD - - Consider local testability for backend/data components - - Specify UI/UX requirements and framework adherence where applicable - - Avoid cross-cutting concerns that should be in other stories or PRD sections - - - id: checklist-results - title: Checklist Results Report - instruction: Before running the checklist and drafting the prompts, offer to output the full updated PRD.

This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase. - -## Task Instructions - -### 1. Initial Project Analysis - -**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. - -**IF PRD EXISTS**: - -- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned -- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected -- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas -- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean - -**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: -Ask the user: - -"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: - -1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. - -2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? - -3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: - - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' - - 'Refactoring the authentication module' - - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' - -4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) - -Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." - -Based on their response: - -- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation -- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below - -Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: - -1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization -2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies -3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands -4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation -5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches - -Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: - -- What is the primary purpose of this project? -- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? -- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) -- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? -- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) -- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) - -### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis - -CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: - -1. **Explore Key Areas**: - - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) - - Configuration files and environment setup - - Package dependencies and versions - - Build and deployment configurations - - Test suites and coverage - -2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: - - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" - - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" - - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" - - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" - - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" - -3. **Map the Reality**: - - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) - - Find where key business logic lives - - Locate integration points and external dependencies - - Document workarounds and technical debt - - Note areas that differ from standard patterns - -**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement - -### 3.

-- **YOU ARE A FACILITATOR**: Guide the user to brainstorm, don't brainstorm for them (unless they request it persistently) -- **INTERACTIVE DIALOGUE**: Ask questions, wait for responses, build on their ideas -- **ONE TECHNIQUE AT A TIME**: Don't mix multiple techniques in one response -- **CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT**: Stay with one technique until user wants to switch -- **DRAW IDEAS OUT**: Use prompts and examples to help them generate their own ideas -- **REAL-TIME ADAPTATION**: Monitor engagement and adjust approach as needed -- Maintain energy and momentum -- Defer judgment during generation -- Quantity leads to quality (aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes) -- Build on ideas collaboratively -- Document everything in output document - -## Advanced Engagement Strategies - -**Energy Management** - -- Check engagement levels: "How are you feeling about this direction?" -- Offer breaks or technique switches if energy flags -- Use encouraging language and celebrate idea generation - -**Depth vs. Breadth** - -- Ask follow-up questions to deepen ideas: "Tell me more about that..." -- Use "Yes, and..." to build on their ideas -- Help them make connections: "How does this relate to your earlier idea about...?" - -**Transition Management** - -- Always ask before switching techniques: "Ready to try a different approach?" -- Offer options: "Should we explore this idea deeper or generate more alternatives?" -- Respect their process and timing -==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/facilitate-brainstorming-session.md ==================== -

QA Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Reviews and refactors code -5. You ā†’ Verify completion -6. Repeat until epic complete -``` - -### Why This Works - -- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance -- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality -- **Incremental Progress**: Small stories = manageable complexity -- **Human Oversight**: You validate each step = quality control -- **Document-Driven**: Specs guide everything = consistency - -## Getting Started - -### Quick Start Options - -#### Option 1: Web UI - -**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately - -1. Navigate to `dist/teams/` -2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content -3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT -4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed" -5. Type `/help` to see available commands - -#### Option 2: IDE Integration - -**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Trae, Cline, Roo Code, Github Copilot users - -```bash -# Interactive installation (recommended) -npx bmad-method install -``` - -**Installation Steps**: - -- Choose "Complete installation" -- Select your IDE from supported options: - - **Cursor**: Native AI integration - - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE - - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities - - **Trae**: Built-in AI capabilities - - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features - - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support - - **GitHub Copilot**: VS Code extension with AI peer programming assistant - -**Note for VS Code Users**: BMAD-METHODā„¢ assumes when you mention "VS Code" that you're using it with an AI-powered extension like GitHub Copilot, Cline, or Roo. Standard VS Code without AI capabilities cannot run BMad agents. The installer includes built-in support for Cline and Roo. - -**Verify Installation**: - -- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents -- IDE-specific integration files created -- All agent commands/rules/modes available - -**Remember**: At its core, BMAD-METHODā„¢ is about mastering and harnessing prompt engineering. Any IDE with AI agent support can use BMad - the framework provides the structured prompts and workflows that make AI development effective - -### Environment Selection Guide - -**Use Web UI for**: - -- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture) -- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini) -- Brainstorming and analysis phases -- Multi-agent consultation and planning - -**Use IDE for**: - -- Active development and coding -- File operations and project integration -- Document sharding and story management -- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles) - -**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development. - -### IDE-Only Workflow Considerations - -**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs: - -**Pros of IDE-Only**: - -- Single environment workflow -- Direct file operations from start -- No copy/paste between environments -- Immediate project integration - -**Cons of IDE-Only**: - -- Higher token costs for large document creation -- Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model) -- May hit limits during planning phases -- Less cost-effective for brainstorming - -**Using Web Agents in IDE**: - -- **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts -- **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context -- **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization - -**About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**: - -- **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT... -- **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results -- **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs -- **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but... - -**CRITICAL RULE for Development**: - -- **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master or bmad-orchestrator -- **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master or bmad-orchestrator -- **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow -- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM ā†’ Dev for implementation - -**Best Practice for IDE-Only**: - -1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master) -2. Create documents directly in project -3. Shard immediately after creation -4. **MUST switch to SM agent** for story creation -5. **MUST switch to Dev agent** for implementation -6. Keep planning and coding in separate chat sessions - -## Core Configuration (core-config.yaml) - -**New in V4**: The `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMad to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility. - -### What is core-config.yaml? - -This configuration file acts as a map for BMad agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables: - -- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures -- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live -- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load -- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting - -### Key Configuration Areas - -#### PRD Configuration - -- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions -- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true) -- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files -- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`) - -#### Architecture Configuration - -- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded) -- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components -- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live - -#### Developer Files - -- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task -- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures -- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations - -### Why It Matters - -1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure -2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace -3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMad to match your team's process -4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration - -### Common Configurations - -**Legacy V3 Project**: - -```yaml -prdVersion: v3 -prdSharded: false -architectureVersion: v3 -architectureSharded: false -``` - -**V4 Optimized Project**: - -```yaml -prdVersion: v4 -prdSharded: true -prdShardedLocation: docs/prd -architectureVersion: v4 -architectureSharded: true -architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture -``` - -## Core Philosophy - -### Vibe CEO'ing - -You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to: - -- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives -- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality -- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents - -### Core Principles - -1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate. -2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs. -3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment. -4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process. -5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs. -6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs. -7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand. -8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges. - -### Key Workflow Principles - -1. **Agent Specialization**: Each agent has specific expertise and responsibilities -2. **Clean Handoffs**: Always start fresh when switching between agents -3. **Status Tracking**: Maintain story statuses (Draft ā†’ Approved ā†’ InProgress ā†’ Done) -4. **Iterative Development**: Complete one story before starting the next -5. **Documentation First**: Always start with solid PRD and architecture - -## Agent System - -### Core Development Team - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ----------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | -| `analyst` | Business Analyst | Market research, requirements gathering | Project planning, competitive analysis | -| `pm` | Product Manager | PRD creation, feature prioritization | Strategic planning, roadmaps | -| `architect` | Solution Architect | System design, technical architecture | Complex systems, scalability planning | -| `dev` | Developer | Code implementation, debugging | All development tasks | -| `qa` | QA Specialist | Test planning, quality assurance | Testing strategies, bug validation | -| `ux-expert` | UX Designer | UI/UX design, prototypes | User experience, interface design | -| `po` | Product Owner | Backlog management, story validation | Story refinement, acceptance criteria | -| `sm` | Scrum Master | Sprint planning, story creation | Project management, workflow | - -### Meta Agents - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | -| `bmad-orchestrator` | Team Coordinator | Multi-agent workflows, role switching | Complex multi-role tasks | -| `bmad-master` | Universal Expert | All capabilities without switching | Single-session comprehensive work | - -### Agent Interaction Commands - -#### IDE-Specific Syntax - -**Agent Loading by IDE**: - -- **Claude Code**: `/agent-name` (e.g., `/bmad-master`) -- **Cursor**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) -- **Windsurf**: `/agent-name` (e.g., `/bmad-master`) -- **Trae**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) -- **Roo Code**: Select mode from mode selector (e.g., `bmad-master`) -- **GitHub Copilot**: Open the Chat view (`āŒƒāŒ˜I` on Mac, `Ctrl+Alt+I` on Windows/Linux) and select **Agent** from the chat mode selector. - -**Chat Management Guidelines**: - -- **Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Trae**: Start new chats when switching agents -- **Roo Code**: Switch modes within the same conversation - -**Common Task Commands**: - -- `*help` - Show available commands -- `*status` - Show current context/progress -- `*exit` - Exit the agent mode -- `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd` - Shard PRD into manageable pieces -- `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture` - Shard architecture document -- `*create` - Run create-next-story task (SM agent) - -**In Web UI**: - -```text -/pm create-doc prd -/architect review system design -/dev implement story 1.2 -/help - Show available commands -/switch agent-name - Change active agent (if orchestrator available) -``` - -## Team Configurations - -### Pre-Built Teams - -#### Team All - -- **Includes**: All 10 agents + orchestrator -- **Use Case**: Complete projects requiring all roles -- **Bundle**: `team-all.txt` - -#### Team Fullstack - -- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA, UX Expert -- **Use Case**: End-to-end web/mobile development -- **Bundle**: `team-fullstack.txt` - -#### Team No-UI - -- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA (no UX Expert) -- **Use Case**: Backend services, APIs, system development -- **Bundle**: `team-no-ui.txt` - -## Core Architecture - -### System Overview - -The BMAD-METHODā„¢ is built around a modular architecture centered on the `bmad-core` directory, which serves as the brain of the entire system. This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). - -### Key Architectural Components - -#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) - -- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) -- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies -- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use -- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context - -#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) - -- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes -- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) -- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments - -#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) - -- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types -- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development -- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions - -#### 4. Reusable Resources - -- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories -- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" -- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review -- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences - -### Dual Environment Architecture - -#### IDE Environment - -- Users interact directly with agent markdown files -- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically -- Supports real-time file operations and project integration -- Optimized for development workflow execution - -#### Web UI Environment - -- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent -- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team -- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces -- Provides complete context in one package - -### Template Processing System - -BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: - -1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates -2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output -3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming - -### Technical Preferences Integration - -The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: - -- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects -- Eliminates repetitive technology specification -- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences -- Evolves over time with lessons learned - -### Build and Delivery Process - -The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: - -1. Reading agent or team definition files -2. Recursively resolving all dependencies -3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators -4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces - -This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. - -## Complete Development Workflow - -### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** - -**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: - -1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis - -**For All Projects**: - -1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis -2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) -3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements -4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation -5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` - -#### Example Planning Prompts - -**For PRD Creation**: - -```text -"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. -Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." -``` - -**For Architecture Design**: - -```text -"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture -that can handle [specific requirements]." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE - -**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** - -- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project - -### IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): - - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Two methods to shard: - a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat - b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents - - Shards `docs/prd.md` ā†’ `docs/prd/` folder - - Shards `docs/architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Content**: - - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order - - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation - -Resulting Folder Structure: - -- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections -- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections -- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories - -1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `@sm` ā†’ `*create` - - SM executes create-next-story task - - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@dev` - - Agent asks which story to implement - - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time - - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Dev maintains File List of all changes - - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing - - **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@qa` ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM ā†’ Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. - -### Status Tracking Workflow - -Stories progress through defined statuses: - -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Development - -- Business analysis and market research -- Product requirements and feature definition -- System architecture and design -- Development execution -- Testing and deployment - -#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. - -**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: - -**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: - -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` -3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` - - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided - - Choose "single document" format for Web UI - - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas - - Creates one comprehensive markdown file - - Avoids bloating docs with unused code - -**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: - -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** -2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` - - More thorough but can create excessive documentation - -4. **Requirements Gathering**: - - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` - - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points - - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment - - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes - -5. **Architecture Planning**: - - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` - - **Integration Strategy**: How new features integrate with existing system - - **Migration Planning**: Gradual rollout and backwards compatibility - - **Risk Mitigation**: Addressing potential breaking changes - -**Brownfield-Specific Resources**: - -**Templates**: - -- `brownfield-prd-tmpl.md`: Comprehensive enhancement planning with existing system analysis -- `brownfield-architecture-tmpl.md`: Integration-focused architecture for existing systems - -**Tasks**: - -- `document-project`: Generates comprehensive documentation from existing codebase -- `brownfield-create-epic`: Creates single epic for focused enhancements (when full PRD is overkill) -- `brownfield-create-story`: Creates individual story for small, isolated changes - -**When to Use Each Approach**: - -**Full Brownfield Workflow** (Recommended for): - -- Major feature additions -- System modernization -- Complex integrations -- Multiple related changes - -**Quick Epic/Story Creation** (Use when): - -- Single, focused enhancement -- Isolated bug fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing system - -**Critical Success Factors**: - -1. **Documentation First**: Always run `document-project` if docs are outdated/missing -2. **Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant code sections -3. **Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -**For detailed guide**: See `docs/working-in-the-brownfield.md` - -## Document Creation Best Practices - -### Required File Naming for Framework Integration - -- `docs/prd.md` - Product Requirements Document -- `docs/architecture.md` - System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter**: - -- Agents automatically reference these files during development -- Sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Documents (PRD, Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` -4. **Switch to IDE**: Use IDE agents for development and smaller documents - -### Document Sharding - -Templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original PRD**: - -```markdown -## Goals and Background Context - -## Requirements - -## User Interface Design Goals - -## Success Metrics -``` - -**After Sharding**: - -- `docs/prd/goals-and-background-context.md` -- `docs/prd/requirements.md` -- `docs/prd/user-interface-design-goals.md` -- `docs/prd/success-metrics.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic sharding. - -## Usage Patterns and Best Practices - -### Environment-Specific Usage - -**Web UI Best For**: - -- Initial planning and documentation phases -- Cost-effective large document creation -- Agent consultation and brainstorming -- Multi-agent workflows with orchestrator - -**IDE Best For**: - -- Active development and implementation -- File operations and project integration -- Story management and development cycles -- Code review and debugging - -### Quality Assurance - -- Use appropriate agents for specialized tasks -- Follow Agile ceremonies and review processes -- Maintain document consistency with PO agent -- Regular validation with checklists and templates - -### Performance Optimization - -- Use specific agents vs. `bmad-master` for focused tasks -- Choose appropriate team size for project needs -- Leverage technical preferences for consistency -- Regular context management and cache clearing - -## Success Tips - -- **Use Gemini for big picture planning** - The team-fullstack bundle provides collaborative expertise -- **Use bmad-master for document organization** - Sharding creates manageable chunks -- **Follow the SM ā†’ Dev cycle religiously** - This ensures systematic progress -- **Keep conversations focused** - One agent, one task per conversation -- **Review everything** - Always review and approve before marking complete - -## Contributing to BMAD-METHODā„¢ -

This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase. - -## Task Instructions - -### 1. Initial Project Analysis - -**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. - -**IF PRD EXISTS**: - -- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned -- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected -- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas -- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean - -**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: -Ask the user: - -"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: - -1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. - -2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? - -3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: - - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' - - 'Refactoring the authentication module' - - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' - -4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) - -Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." - -Based on their response: - -- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation -- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below - -Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: - -1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization -2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies -3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands -4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation -5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches - -Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: - -- What is the primary purpose of this project? -- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? -- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) -- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? -- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) -- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) - -### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis - -CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: - -1. **Explore Key Areas**: - - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) - - Configuration files and environment setup - - Package dependencies and versions - - Build and deployment configurations - - Test suites and coverage - -2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: - - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" - - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" - - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" - - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" - - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" - -3. **Map the Reality**: - - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) - - Find where key business logic lives - - Locate integration points and external dependencies - - Document workarounds and technical debt - - Note areas that differ from standard patterns - -**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement - -### 3. Core Documentation Generation - -[[LLM: Generate a comprehensive BROWNFIELD architecture document that reflects the ACTUAL state of the codebase. - -**CRITICAL**: This is NOT an aspirational architecture document.

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. -==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/correct-course.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/create-deep-research-prompt.md ==================== - -# Create Deep Research Prompt Task - -This task helps create comprehensive research prompts for various types of deep analysis.

This task ensures the story is enriched with all necessary technical context, requirements, and acceptance criteria, making it ready for efficient implementation by a Developer Agent with minimal need for additional research or finding its own context. - -## SEQUENTIAL Task Execution (Do not proceed until current Task is complete) - -### 0. Load Core Configuration and Check Workflow - -- Load `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` from the project root -- If the file does not exist, HALT and inform the user: "core-config.yaml not found. This file is required for story creation. You can either: 1) Copy it from GITHUB bmad-core/core-config.yaml and configure it for your project OR 2) Run the BMad installer against your project to upgrade and add the file automatically. Please add and configure core-config.yaml before proceeding." -- Extract key configurations: `devStoryLocation`, `prd.*`, `architecture.*`, `workflow.*` - -### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation - -#### 1.1 Locate Epic Files and Review Existing Stories - -- Based on `prdSharded` from config, locate epic files (sharded location/pattern or monolithic PRD sections) -- If `devStoryLocation` has story files, load the highest `{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` file -- **If highest story exists:** - - Verify status is 'Done'. If not, alert user: "ALERT: Found incomplete story! File: {lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md Status: [current status] You should fix this story first, but would you like to accept risk & override to create the next story in draft?" - - If proceeding, select next sequential story in the current epic - - If epic is complete, prompt user: "Epic {epicNum} Complete: All stories in Epic {epicNum} have been completed. Would you like to: 1) Begin Epic {epicNum + 1} with story 1 2) Select a specific story to work on 3) Cancel story creation" - - **CRITICAL**: NEVER automatically skip to another epic. User MUST explicitly instruct which story to create. -- **If no story files exist:** The next story is ALWAYS 1.1 (first story of first epic) -- Announce the identified story to the user: "Identified next story for preparation: {epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}" - -### 2. Gather Story Requirements and Previous Story Context - -- Extract story requirements from the identified epic file -- If previous story exists, review Dev Agent Record sections for: - - Completion Notes and Debug Log References - - Implementation deviations and technical decisions - - Challenges encountered and lessons learned -- Extract relevant insights that inform the current story's preparation - -### 3.

This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase. - -## Task Instructions - -### 1. Initial Project Analysis - -**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. - -**IF PRD EXISTS**: - -- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned -- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected -- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas -- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean - -**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: -Ask the user: - -"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: - -1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. - -2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? - -3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: - - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' - - 'Refactoring the authentication module' - - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' - -4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) - -Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." - -Based on their response: - -- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation -- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below - -Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: - -1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization -2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies -3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands -4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation -5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches - -Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: - -- What is the primary purpose of this project? -- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? -- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) -- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? -- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) -- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) - -### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis - -CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: - -1. **Explore Key Areas**: - - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) - - Configuration files and environment setup - - Package dependencies and versions - - Build and deployment configurations - - Test suites and coverage - -2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: - - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" - - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" - - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" - - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" - - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" - -3. **Map the Reality**: - - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) - - Find where key business logic lives - - Locate integration points and external dependencies - - Document workarounds and technical debt - - Note areas that differ from standard patterns - -**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement - -### 3. Core Documentation Generation - -[[LLM: Generate a comprehensive BROWNFIELD architecture document that reflects the ACTUAL state of the codebase. - -**CRITICAL**: This is NOT an aspirational architecture document.

Core Prompting Principles - -Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code. - -- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. -- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. -- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. -- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. - -### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework - -To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. - -1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. - - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ -2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. - - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ -3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. - - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ -4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. - - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ - -### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt - -You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. - -1. **Gather Foundational Context**: - - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. -2. **Describe the Visuals**: - - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. - - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). -3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: - - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. -4. **Present and Refine**: - - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). - - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. - - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. -==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/generate-ai-frontend-prompt.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/index-docs.md ==================== - -# Index Documentation Task - -## Purpose - -This task maintains the integrity and completeness of the `docs/index.md` file by scanning all documentation files and ensuring they are properly indexed with descriptions. It handles both root-level documents and documents within subfolders, organizing them hierarchically. - -## Task Instructions - -You are now operating as a Documentation Indexer. Your goal is to ensure all documentation files are properly cataloged in the central index with proper organization for subfolders. - -### Required Steps - -1. First, locate and scan: - - The `docs/` directory and all subdirectories - - The existing `docs/index.md` file (create if absent) - - All markdown (`.md`) and text (`.txt`) files in the documentation structure - - Note the folder structure for hierarchical organization - -2. For the existing `docs/index.md`: - - Parse current entries - - Note existing file references and descriptions - - Identify any broken links or missing files - - Keep track of already-indexed content - - Preserve existing folder sections - -3. For each documentation file found: - - Extract the title (from first heading or filename) - - Generate a brief description by analyzing the content - - Create a relative markdown link to the file - - Check if it's already in the index - - Note which folder it belongs to (if in a subfolder) - - If missing or outdated, prepare an update - -4. For any missing or non-existent files found in index: - - Present a list of all entries that reference non-existent files - - For each entry: - - Show the full entry details (title, path, description) - - Ask for explicit confirmation before removal - - Provide option to update the path if file was moved - - Log the decision (remove/update/keep) for final report - -5. Update `docs/index.md`: - - Maintain existing structure and organization - - Create level 2 sections (`##`) for each subfolder - - List root-level documents first - - Add missing entries with descriptions - - Update outdated entries - - Remove only entries that were confirmed for removal - - Ensure consistent formatting throughout - -### Index Structure Format - -The index should be organized as follows: - -```markdown -# Documentation Index - -## Root Documents - -### [Document Title](./document.md) - -Brief description of the document's purpose and contents. - -### [Another Document](./another.md) - -Description here. - -## Folder Name - -Documents within the `folder-name/` directory: - -### [Document in Folder](./folder-name/document.md) - -Description of this document. - -### [Another in Folder](./folder-name/another.md) - -Description here. - -## Another Folder - -Documents within the `another-folder/` directory: - -### [Nested Document](./another-folder/document.md) - -Description of nested document. -``` - -### Index Entry Format - -Each entry should follow this format: - -```markdown -### [Document Title](relative/path/to/file.md) - -Brief description of the document's purpose and contents. -``` - -### Rules of Operation - -1. NEVER modify the content of indexed files -2. Preserve existing descriptions in index.md when they are adequate -3. Maintain any existing categorization or grouping in the index -4. Use relative paths for all links (starting with `./`) -5. Ensure descriptions are concise but informative -6. NEVER remove entries without explicit confirmation -7. Report any broken links or inconsistencies found -8. Allow path updates for moved files before considering removal -9. Create folder sections using level 2 headings (`##`) -10. Sort folders alphabetically, with root documents listed first -11. Within each section, sort documents alphabetically by title - -### Process Output - -The task will provide: - -1. A summary of changes made to index.md -2. List of newly indexed files (organized by folder) -3. List of updated entries -4. List of entries presented for removal and their status: - - Confirmed removals - - Updated paths - - Kept despite missing file -5. Any new folders discovered -6. Any other issues or inconsistencies found - -### Handling Missing Files - -For each file referenced in the index but not found in the filesystem: - -1. Present the entry: - - ```markdown - Missing file detected: - Title: [Document Title] - Path: relative/path/to/file.md - Description: Existing description - Section: [Root Documents | Folder Name] - - Options: - - 1. Remove this entry - 2. Update the file path - 3. Keep entry (mark as temporarily unavailable) - - Please choose an option (1/2/3): - ``` - -2. Wait for user confirmation before taking any action -3. Log the decision for the final report - -### Special Cases - -1. **Sharded Documents**: If a folder contains an `index.md` file, treat it as a sharded document: - - Use the folder's `index.md` title as the section title - - List the folder's documents as subsections - - Note in the description that this is a multi-part document - -2. **README files**: Convert `README.md` to more descriptive titles based on content - -3. **Nested Subfolders**: For deeply nested folders, maintain the hierarchy but limit to 2 levels in the main index. Deeper structures should have their own index files. - -## Required Input - -Please provide: - -1. Location of the `docs/` directory (default: `./docs`) -2. Confirmation of write access to `docs/index.md` -3. Any specific categorization preferences -4. Any files or directories to exclude from indexing (e.g., `.git`, `node_modules`) -5. Whether to include hidden files/folders (starting with `.`) - -Would you like to proceed with documentation indexing?

For example, an API completed can deliver value even if a UI is not complete and planned for a separate epic. - - Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things. - - Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories.

Any system diagrams referenced in the architecture -5. API documentation if available -6. Technology stack details and version specifications - -IMPORTANT: If any required documents are missing or inaccessible, immediately ask the user for their location or content before proceeding. - -PROJECT TYPE DETECTION: -First, determine the project type by checking: - -- Does the architecture include a frontend/UI component? -- Is there a frontend-architecture.md document? -- Does the PRD mention user interfaces or frontend requirements? - -If this is a backend-only or service-only project: - -- Skip sections marked with [[FRONTEND ONLY]] -- Focus extra attention on API design, service architecture, and integration patterns -- Note in your final report that frontend sections were skipped due to project type - -VALIDATION APPROACH: -For each section, you must: - -1. Deep Analysis - Don't just check boxes, thoroughly analyze each item against the provided documentation -2. Evidence-Based - Cite specific sections or quotes from the documents when validating -3. Critical Thinking - Question assumptions and identify gaps, not just confirm what's present -4. Risk Assessment - Consider what could go wrong with each architectural decision - -EXECUTION MODE: -Ask the user if they want to work through the checklist: - -- Section by section (interactive mode) - Review each section, present findings, get confirmation before proceeding -- All at once (comprehensive mode) - Complete full analysis and present comprehensive report at end]] - -## 1.

The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments. - -### Key Features - -- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role -- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization -- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs -- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists -- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control - -### When to Use BMad - -- **New Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end development -- **Existing Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions and enhancements -- **Team Collaboration**: Multiple roles working together -- **Quality Assurance**: Structured testing and validation -- **Documentation**: Professional PRDs, architecture docs, user stories - -## How BMad Works - -### The Core Method - -BMad transforms you into a "Vibe CEO" - directing a team of specialized AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how: - -1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide vision and decisions; agents handle implementation details -2. **Specialized Agents**: Each agent masters one role (PM, Developer, Architect, etc.) -3. **Structured Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from idea to deployed code -4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective - -### The Two-Phase Approach - -#### Phase 1: Planning (Web UI - Cost Effective) - -- Use large context windows (Gemini's 1M tokens) -- Generate comprehensive documents (PRD, Architecture) -- Leverage multiple agents for brainstorming -- Create once, use throughout development - -#### Phase 2: Development (IDE - Implementation) - -- Shard documents into manageable pieces -- Execute focused SM ā†’ Dev cycles -- One story at a time, sequential progress -- Real-time file operations and testing - -### The Development Loop - -```text -1. SM Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Creates next story from sharded docs -2. You ā†’ Review and approve story -3. Dev Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Implements approved story -4. QA Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Reviews and refactors code -5. You ā†’ Verify completion -6. Repeat until epic complete -``` - -### Why This Works - -- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance -- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality -- **Incremental Progress**: Small stories = manageable complexity -- **Human Oversight**: You validate each step = quality control -- **Document-Driven**: Specs guide everything = consistency - -## Getting Started - -### Quick Start Options - -#### Option 1: Web UI - -**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately - -1. Navigate to `dist/teams/` -2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content -3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT -4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed" -5. Type `/help` to see available commands - -#### Option 2: IDE Integration - -**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Trae, Cline, Roo Code, Github Copilot users - -```bash -# Interactive installation (recommended) -npx bmad-method install -``` - -**Installation Steps**: - -- Choose "Complete installation" -- Select your IDE from supported options: - - **Cursor**: Native AI integration - - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE - - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities - - **Trae**: Built-in AI capabilities - - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features - - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support - - **GitHub Copilot**: VS Code extension with AI peer programming assistant - -**Note for VS Code Users**: BMAD-METHODā„¢ assumes when you mention "VS Code" that you're using it with an AI-powered extension like GitHub Copilot, Cline, or Roo. Standard VS Code without AI capabilities cannot run BMad agents. The installer includes built-in support for Cline and Roo. - -**Verify Installation**: - -- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents -- IDE-specific integration files created -- All agent commands/rules/modes available - -**Remember**: At its core, BMAD-METHODā„¢ is about mastering and harnessing prompt engineering. Any IDE with AI agent support can use BMad - the framework provides the structured prompts and workflows that make AI development effective - -### Environment Selection Guide - -**Use Web UI for**: - -- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture) -- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini) -- Brainstorming and analysis phases -- Multi-agent consultation and planning - -**Use IDE for**: - -- Active development and coding -- File operations and project integration -- Document sharding and story management -- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles) - -**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development. - -### IDE-Only Workflow Considerations - -**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs: - -**Pros of IDE-Only**: - -- Single environment workflow -- Direct file operations from start -- No copy/paste between environments -- Immediate project integration - -**Cons of IDE-Only**: - -- Higher token costs for large document creation -- Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model) -- May hit limits during planning phases -- Less cost-effective for brainstorming - -**Using Web Agents in IDE**: - -- **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts -- **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context -- **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization - -**About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**: - -- **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT... -- **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results -- **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs -- **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but... - -**CRITICAL RULE for Development**: - -- **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master or bmad-orchestrator -- **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master or bmad-orchestrator -- **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow -- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM ā†’ Dev for implementation - -**Best Practice for IDE-Only**: - -1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master) -2. Create documents directly in project -3. Shard immediately after creation -4. **MUST switch to SM agent** for story creation -5. **MUST switch to Dev agent** for implementation -6. Keep planning and coding in separate chat sessions - -## Core Configuration (core-config.yaml) - -**New in V4**: The `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMad to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility. - -### What is core-config.yaml? - -This configuration file acts as a map for BMad agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables: - -- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures -- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live -- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load -- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting - -### Key Configuration Areas - -#### PRD Configuration - -- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions -- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true) -- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files -- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`) - -#### Architecture Configuration - -- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded) -- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components -- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live - -#### Developer Files - -- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task -- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures -- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations - -### Why It Matters - -1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure -2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace -3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMad to match your team's process -4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration - -### Common Configurations - -**Legacy V3 Project**: - -```yaml -prdVersion: v3 -prdSharded: false -architectureVersion: v3 -architectureSharded: false -``` - -**V4 Optimized Project**: - -```yaml -prdVersion: v4 -prdSharded: true -prdShardedLocation: docs/prd -architectureVersion: v4 -architectureSharded: true -architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture -``` - -## Core Philosophy - -### Vibe CEO'ing - -You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to: - -- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives -- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality -- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents - -### Core Principles - -1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more.

This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). - -### Key Architectural Components - -#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) - -- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) -- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies -- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use -- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context - -#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) - -- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes -- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) -- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments - -#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) - -- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types -- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development -- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions - -#### 4. Reusable Resources - -- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories -- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" -- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review -- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences - -### Dual Environment Architecture - -#### IDE Environment - -- Users interact directly with agent markdown files -- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically -- Supports real-time file operations and project integration -- Optimized for development workflow execution - -#### Web UI Environment - -- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent -- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team -- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces -- Provides complete context in one package - -### Template Processing System - -BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: - -1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates -2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output -3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming - -### Technical Preferences Integration - -The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: - -- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects -- Eliminates repetitive technology specification -- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences -- Evolves over time with lessons learned - -### Build and Delivery Process - -The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: - -1. Reading agent or team definition files -2. Recursively resolving all dependencies -3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators -4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces - -This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. - -## Complete Development Workflow - -### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** - -**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: - -1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis - -**For All Projects**: - -1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis -2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) -3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements -4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation -5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` - -#### Example Planning Prompts - -**For PRD Creation**: - -```text -"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. -Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." -``` - -**For Architecture Design**: - -```text -"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture -that can handle [specific requirements]." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE - -**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** - -- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project - -### IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): - - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Two methods to shard: - a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat - b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents - - Shards `docs/prd.md` ā†’ `docs/prd/` folder - - Shards `docs/architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Content**: - - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order - - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation - -Resulting Folder Structure: - -- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections -- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections -- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories - -1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `@sm` ā†’ `*create` - - SM executes create-next-story task - - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@dev` - - Agent asks which story to implement - - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time - - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Dev maintains File List of all changes - - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing - - **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@qa` ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM ā†’ Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. - -### Status Tracking Workflow - -Stories progress through defined statuses: - -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Development - -- Business analysis and market research -- Product requirements and feature definition -- System architecture and design -- Development execution -- Testing and deployment - -#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. - -**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: - -**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: - -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` -3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` - - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided - - Choose "single document" format for Web UI - - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas - - Creates one comprehensive markdown file - - Avoids bloating docs with unused code - -**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: - -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** -2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` - - More thorough but can create excessive documentation - -4. **Requirements Gathering**: - - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` - - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points - - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment - - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes - -5. **Architecture Planning**: - - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` - - **Integration Strategy**: How new features integrate with existing system - - **Migration Planning**: Gradual rollout and backwards compatibility - - **Risk Mitigation**: Addressing potential breaking changes - -**Brownfield-Specific Resources**: - -**Templates**: - -- `brownfield-prd-tmpl.md`: Comprehensive enhancement planning with existing system analysis -- `brownfield-architecture-tmpl.md`: Integration-focused architecture for existing systems - -**Tasks**: - -- `document-project`: Generates comprehensive documentation from existing codebase -- `brownfield-create-epic`: Creates single epic for focused enhancements (when full PRD is overkill) -- `brownfield-create-story`: Creates individual story for small, isolated changes - -**When to Use Each Approach**: - -**Full Brownfield Workflow** (Recommended for): - -- Major feature additions -- System modernization -- Complex integrations -- Multiple related changes - -**Quick Epic/Story Creation** (Use when): - -- Single, focused enhancement -- Isolated bug fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing system - -**Critical Success Factors**: - -1. **Documentation First**: Always run `document-project` if docs are outdated/missing -2. **Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant code sections -3. **Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -**For detailed guide**: See `docs/working-in-the-brownfield.md` - -## Document Creation Best Practices - -### Required File Naming for Framework Integration - -- `docs/prd.md` - Product Requirements Document -- `docs/architecture.md` - System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter**: - -- Agents automatically reference these files during development -- Sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Documents (PRD, Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` -4. **Switch to IDE**: Use IDE agents for development and smaller documents - -### Document Sharding - -Templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original PRD**: - -```markdown -## Goals and Background Context - -## Requirements - -## User Interface Design Goals - -## Success Metrics -``` - -**After Sharding**: - -- `docs/prd/goals-and-background-context.md` -- `docs/prd/requirements.md` -- `docs/prd/user-interface-design-goals.md` -- `docs/prd/success-metrics.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic sharding. - -## Usage Patterns and Best Practices - -### Environment-Specific Usage - -**Web UI Best For**: - -- Initial planning and documentation phases -- Cost-effective large document creation -- Agent consultation and brainstorming -- Multi-agent workflows with orchestrator - -**IDE Best For**: - -- Active development and implementation -- File operations and project integration -- Story management and development cycles -- Code review and debugging - -### Quality Assurance - -- Use appropriate agents for specialized tasks -- Follow Agile ceremonies and review processes -- Maintain document consistency with PO agent -- Regular validation with checklists and templates - -### Performance Optimization - -- Use specific agents vs. `bmad-master` for focused tasks -- Choose appropriate team size for project needs -- Leverage technical preferences for consistency -- Regular context management and cache clearing - -## Success Tips - -- **Use Gemini for big picture planning** - The team-fullstack bundle provides collaborative expertise -- **Use bmad-master for document organization** - Sharding creates manageable chunks -- **Follow the SM ā†’ Dev cycle religiously** - This ensures systematic progress -- **Keep conversations focused** - One agent, one task per conversation -- **Review everything** - Always review and approve before marking complete - -## Contributing to BMAD-METHODā„¢ -

The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments. - -### Key Features - -- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role -- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization -- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs -- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists -- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control - -### When to Use BMad - -- **New Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end development -- **Existing Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions and enhancements -- **Team Collaboration**: Multiple roles working together -- **Quality Assurance**: Structured testing and validation -- **Documentation**: Professional PRDs, architecture docs, user stories - -## How BMad Works - -### The Core Method - -BMad transforms you into a "Vibe CEO" - directing a team of specialized AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how: - -1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide vision and decisions; agents handle implementation details -2. **Specialized Agents**: Each agent masters one role (PM, Developer, Architect, etc.) -3. **Structured Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from idea to deployed code -4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective - -### The Two-Phase Approach - -#### Phase 1: Planning (Web UI - Cost Effective) - -- Use large context windows (Gemini's 1M tokens) -- Generate comprehensive documents (PRD, Architecture) -- Leverage multiple agents for brainstorming -- Create once, use throughout development - -#### Phase 2: Development (IDE - Implementation) - -- Shard documents into manageable pieces -- Execute focused SM ā†’ Dev cycles -- One story at a time, sequential progress -- Real-time file operations and testing - -### The Development Loop - -```text -1. SM Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Creates next story from sharded docs -2. You ā†’ Review and approve story -3. Dev Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Implements approved story -4. QA Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Reviews and refactors code -5. You ā†’ Verify completion -6. Repeat until epic complete -``` - -### Why This Works - -- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance -- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality -- **Incremental Progress**: Small stories = manageable complexity -- **Human Oversight**: You validate each step = quality control -- **Document-Driven**: Specs guide everything = consistency - -## Getting Started - -### Quick Start Options - -#### Option 1: Web UI - -**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately - -1. Navigate to `dist/teams/` -2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content -3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT -4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed" -5. Type `/help` to see available commands - -#### Option 2: IDE Integration - -**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Trae, Cline, Roo Code, Github Copilot users - -```bash -# Interactive installation (recommended) -npx bmad-method install -``` - -**Installation Steps**: - -- Choose "Complete installation" -- Select your IDE from supported options: - - **Cursor**: Native AI integration - - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE - - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities - - **Trae**: Built-in AI capabilities - - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features - - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support - - **GitHub Copilot**: VS Code extension with AI peer programming assistant - -**Note for VS Code Users**: BMAD-METHODā„¢ assumes when you mention "VS Code" that you're using it with an AI-powered extension like GitHub Copilot, Cline, or Roo. Standard VS Code without AI capabilities cannot run BMad agents. The installer includes built-in support for Cline and Roo. - -**Verify Installation**: - -- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents -- IDE-specific integration files created -- All agent commands/rules/modes available - -**Remember**: At its core, BMAD-METHODā„¢ is about mastering and harnessing prompt engineering. Any IDE with AI agent support can use BMad - the framework provides the structured prompts and workflows that make AI development effective - -### Environment Selection Guide - -**Use Web UI for**: - -- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture) -- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini) -- Brainstorming and analysis phases -- Multi-agent consultation and planning - -**Use IDE for**: - -- Active development and coding -- File operations and project integration -- Document sharding and story management -- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles) - -**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development. - -### IDE-Only Workflow Considerations - -**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs: - -**Pros of IDE-Only**: - -- Single environment workflow -- Direct file operations from start -- No copy/paste between environments -- Immediate project integration - -**Cons of IDE-Only**: - -- Higher token costs for large document creation -- Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model) -- May hit limits during planning phases -- Less cost-effective for brainstorming - -**Using Web Agents in IDE**: - -- **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts -- **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context -- **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization - -**About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**: - -- **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT... -- **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results -- **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs -- **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but... - -**CRITICAL RULE for Development**: - -- **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master or bmad-orchestrator -- **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master or bmad-orchestrator -- **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow -- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM ā†’ Dev for implementation - -**Best Practice for IDE-Only**: - -1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master) -2. Create documents directly in project -3. Shard immediately after creation -4. **MUST switch to SM agent** for story creation -5. **MUST switch to Dev agent** for implementation -6. Keep planning and coding in separate chat sessions - -## Core Configuration (core-config.yaml) - -**New in V4**: The `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMad to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility. - -### What is core-config.yaml? - -This configuration file acts as a map for BMad agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables: - -- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures -- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live -- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load -- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting - -### Key Configuration Areas - -#### PRD Configuration - -- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions -- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true) -- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files -- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`) - -#### Architecture Configuration - -- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded) -- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components -- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live - -#### Developer Files - -- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task -- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures -- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations - -### Why It Matters - -1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure -2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace -3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMad to match your team's process -4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration - -### Common Configurations - -**Legacy V3 Project**: - -```yaml -prdVersion: v3 -prdSharded: false -architectureVersion: v3 -architectureSharded: false -``` - -**V4 Optimized Project**: - -```yaml -prdVersion: v4 -prdSharded: true -prdShardedLocation: docs/prd -architectureVersion: v4 -architectureSharded: true -architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture -``` - -## Core Philosophy - -### Vibe CEO'ing - -You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to: - -- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives -- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality -- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents - -### Core Principles - -1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate. -2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs. -3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment. -4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process. -5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs. -6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs. -7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand. -8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges. - -### Key Workflow Principles - -1. **Agent Specialization**: Each agent has specific expertise and responsibilities -2. **Clean Handoffs**: Always start fresh when switching between agents -3. **Status Tracking**: Maintain story statuses (Draft ā†’ Approved ā†’ InProgress ā†’ Done) -4. **Iterative Development**: Complete one story before starting the next -5. **Documentation First**: Always start with solid PRD and architecture - -## Agent System - -### Core Development Team - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ----------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | -| `analyst` | Business Analyst | Market research, requirements gathering | Project planning, competitive analysis | -| `pm` | Product Manager | PRD creation, feature prioritization | Strategic planning, roadmaps | -| `architect` | Solution Architect | System design, technical architecture | Complex systems, scalability planning | -| `dev` | Developer | Code implementation, debugging | All development tasks | -| `qa` | QA Specialist | Test planning, quality assurance | Testing strategies, bug validation | -| `ux-expert` | UX Designer | UI/UX design, prototypes | User experience, interface design | -| `po` | Product Owner | Backlog management, story validation | Story refinement, acceptance criteria | -| `sm` | Scrum Master | Sprint planning, story creation | Project management, workflow | - -### Meta Agents - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | -| `bmad-orchestrator` | Team Coordinator | Multi-agent workflows, role switching | Complex multi-role tasks | -| `bmad-master` | Universal Expert | All capabilities without switching | Single-session comprehensive work | - -### Agent Interaction Commands - -#### IDE-Specific Syntax - -**Agent Loading by IDE**: - -- **Claude Code**: `/agent-name` (e.g., `/bmad-master`) -- **Cursor**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) -- **Windsurf**: `/agent-name` (e.g., `/bmad-master`) -- **Trae**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) -- **Roo Code**: Select mode from mode selector (e.g., `bmad-master`) -- **GitHub Copilot**: Open the Chat view (`āŒƒāŒ˜I` on Mac, `Ctrl+Alt+I` on Windows/Linux) and select **Agent** from the chat mode selector. - -**Chat Management Guidelines**: - -- **Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Trae**: Start new chats when switching agents -- **Roo Code**: Switch modes within the same conversation - -**Common Task Commands**: - -- `*help` - Show available commands -- `*status` - Show current context/progress -- `*exit` - Exit the agent mode -- `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd` - Shard PRD into manageable pieces -- `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture` - Shard architecture document -- `*create` - Run create-next-story task (SM agent) - -**In Web UI**: - -```text -/pm create-doc prd -/architect review system design -/dev implement story 1.2 -/help - Show available commands -/switch agent-name - Change active agent (if orchestrator available) -``` - -## Team Configurations - -### Pre-Built Teams - -#### Team All - -- **Includes**: All 10 agents + orchestrator -- **Use Case**: Complete projects requiring all roles -- **Bundle**: `team-all.txt` - -#### Team Fullstack - -- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA, UX Expert -- **Use Case**: End-to-end web/mobile development -- **Bundle**: `team-fullstack.txt` - -#### Team No-UI - -- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA (no UX Expert) -- **Use Case**: Backend services, APIs, system development -- **Bundle**: `team-no-ui.txt` - -## Core Architecture - -### System Overview - -The BMAD-METHODā„¢ is built around a modular architecture centered on the `bmad-core` directory, which serves as the brain of the entire system. This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). - -### Key Architectural Components - -#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) - -- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) -- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies -- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use -- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context - -#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) - -- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes -- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) -- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments - -#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) - -- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types -- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development -- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions - -#### 4. Reusable Resources - -- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories -- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" -- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review -- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences - -### Dual Environment Architecture - -#### IDE Environment - -- Users interact directly with agent markdown files -- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically -- Supports real-time file operations and project integration -- Optimized for development workflow execution - -#### Web UI Environment - -- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assets with an orchestrating agent -- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team -- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces -- Provides complete context in one package - -### Template Processing System - -BMad employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: - -1. **Template Format** (`utils/bmad-doc-template.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives from yaml templates -2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction to transform yaml spec to final markdown output -3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming - -### Technical Preferences Integration - -The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: - -- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects -- Eliminates repetitive technology specification -- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences -- Evolves over time with lessons learned - -### Build and Delivery Process - -The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: - -1. Reading agent or team definition files -2. Recursively resolving all dependencies -3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators -4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces - -This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMad powerful. - -## Complete Development Workflow - -### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** - -**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: - -1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis - -**For All Projects**: - -1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis -2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) -3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements -4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation -5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` - -#### Example Planning Prompts - -**For PRD Creation**: - -```text -"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. -Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." -``` - -**For Architecture Design**: - -```text -"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture -that can handle [specific requirements]." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE - -**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** - -- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project - -### IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): - - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Two methods to shard: - a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat - b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents - - Shards `docs/prd.md` ā†’ `docs/prd/` folder - - Shards `docs/architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Content**: - - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order - - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation - -Resulting Folder Structure: - -- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections -- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections -- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories - -1. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `@sm` ā†’ `*create` - - SM executes create-next-story task - - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@dev` - - Agent asks which story to implement - - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time - - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Dev maintains File List of all changes - - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing - - **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@qa` ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM ā†’ Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. - -### Status Tracking Workflow - -Stories progress through defined statuses: - -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Development - -- Business analysis and market research -- Product requirements and feature definition -- System architecture and design -- Development execution -- Testing and deployment - -#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. - -**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: - -**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: - -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` -3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` - - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided - - Choose "single document" format for Web UI - - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas - - Creates one comprehensive markdown file - - Avoids bloating docs with unused code - -**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: - -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** -2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` - - More thorough but can create excessive documentation - -4. **Requirements Gathering**: - - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` - - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points - - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment - - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes - -5. **Architecture Planning**: - - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` - - **Integration Strategy**: How new features integrate with existing system - - **Migration Planning**: Gradual rollout and backwards compatibility - - **Risk Mitigation**: Addressing potential breaking changes - -**Brownfield-Specific Resources**: - -**Templates**: - -- `brownfield-prd-tmpl.md`: Comprehensive enhancement planning with existing system analysis -- `brownfield-architecture-tmpl.md`: Integration-focused architecture for existing systems - -**Tasks**: - -- `document-project`: Generates comprehensive documentation from existing codebase -- `brownfield-create-epic`: Creates single epic for focused enhancements (when full PRD is overkill) -- `brownfield-create-story`: Creates individual story for small, isolated changes - -**When to Use Each Approach**: - -**Full Brownfield Workflow** (Recommended for): - -- Major feature additions -- System modernization -- Complex integrations -- Multiple related changes - -**Quick Epic/Story Creation** (Use when): - -- Single, focused enhancement -- Isolated bug fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing system - -**Critical Success Factors**: - -1. **Documentation First**: Always run `document-project` if docs are outdated/missing -2. **Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant code sections -3. **Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -**For detailed guide**: See `docs/working-in-the-brownfield.md` - -## Document Creation Best Practices - -### Required File Naming for Framework Integration - -- `docs/prd.md` - Product Requirements Document -- `docs/architecture.md` - System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter**: - -- Agents automatically reference these files during development -- Sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Documents (PRD, Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` -4. **Switch to IDE**: Use IDE agents for development and smaller documents - -### Document Sharding - -Templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original PRD**: - -```markdown -## Goals and Background Context - -## Requirements - -## User Interface Design Goals - -## Success Metrics -``` - -**After Sharding**: - -- `docs/prd/goals-and-background-context.md` -- `docs/prd/requirements.md` -- `docs/prd/user-interface-design-goals.md` -- `docs/prd/success-metrics.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic sharding. - -## Usage Patterns and Best Practices - -### Environment-Specific Usage - -**Web UI Best For**: - -- Initial planning and documentation phases -- Cost-effective large document creation -- Agent consultation and brainstorming -- Multi-agent workflows with orchestrator - -**IDE Best For**: - -- Active development and implementation -- File operations and project integration -- Story management and development cycles -- Code review and debugging - -### Quality Assurance - -- Use appropriate agents for specialized tasks -- Follow Agile ceremonies and review processes -- Maintain document consistency with PO agent -- Regular validation with checklists and templates - -### Performance Optimization - -- Use specific agents vs. `bmad-master` for focused tasks -- Choose appropriate team size for project needs -- Leverage technical preferences for consistency -- Regular context management and cache clearing - -## Success Tips - -- **Use Gemini for big picture planning** - The team-fullstack bundle provides collaborative expertise -- **Use bmad-master for document organization** - Sharding creates manageable chunks -- **Follow the SM ā†’ Dev cycle religiously** - This ensures systematic progress -- **Keep conversations focused** - One agent, one task per conversation -- **Review everything** - Always review and approve before marking complete - -## Contributing to BMAD-METHODā„¢ -

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?

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. -==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/correct-course.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/create-deep-research-prompt.md ==================== - -# Create Deep Research Prompt Task - -This task helps create comprehensive research prompts for various types of deep analysis.

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" ā†’ `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 - - ### ā†’ ## - - #### ā†’ ### - - ##### ā†’ #### - - etc. - ``` - -3. **Write content**: Save the adjusted content to the new file - -### 4.

This allows the user to review the overall structure before diving into details. - - CRITICAL: Epics MUST be logically sequential following agile best practices: - - - Each epic should deliver a significant, end-to-end, fully deployable increment of testable functionality - - Epic 1 must establish foundational project infrastructure (app setup, Git, CI/CD, core services) unless we are adding new functionality to an existing app, while also delivering an initial piece of functionality, even as simple as a health-check route or display of a simple canary page - remember this when we produce the stories for the first epic! - - Each subsequent epic builds upon previous epics' functionality delivering major blocks of functionality that provide tangible value to users or business when deployed - - Not every project needs multiple epics, an epic needs to deliver value. For example, an API completed can deliver value even if a UI is not complete and planned for a separate epic. - - Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things. - - Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories.

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. -==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/correct-course.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/execute-checklist.md ==================== - -# Checklist Validation Task - -This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists.

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. -==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/correct-course.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/create-next-story.md ==================== - -# Create Next Story Task - -## Purpose - -To identify the next logical story based on project progress and epic definitions, and then to prepare a comprehensive, self-contained, and actionable story file using the `Story Template`.

Verify Project Structure Alignment - -- Cross-reference story requirements with Project Structure Guide from `docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md` -- Ensure file paths, component locations, or module names align with defined structures -- Document any structural conflicts in "Project Structure Notes" section within the story draft - -### 5. Populate Story Template with Full Context - -- Create new story file: `{devStoryLocation}/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` using Story Template -- Fill in basic story information: Title, Status (Draft), Story statement, Acceptance Criteria from Epic -- **`Dev Notes` section (CRITICAL):** - - CRITICAL: This section MUST contain ONLY information extracted from architecture documents. NEVER invent or assume technical details. - - Include ALL relevant technical details from Steps 2-3, organized by category: - - **Previous Story Insights**: Key learnings from previous story - - **Data Models**: Specific schemas, validation rules, relationships [with source references] - - **API Specifications**: Endpoint details, request/response formats, auth requirements [with source references] - - **Component Specifications**: UI component details, props, state management [with source references] - - **File Locations**: Exact paths where new code should be created based on project structure - - **Testing Requirements**: Specific test cases or strategies from testing-strategy.md - - **Technical Constraints**: Version requirements, performance considerations, security rules - - Every technical detail MUST include its source reference: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]` - - If information for a category is not found in the architecture docs, explicitly state: "No specific guidance found in architecture docs" -- **`Tasks / Subtasks` section:** - - Generate detailed, sequential list of technical tasks based ONLY on: Epic Requirements, Story AC, Reviewed Architecture Information - - Each task must reference relevant architecture documentation - - Include unit testing as explicit subtasks based on the Testing Strategy - - Link tasks to ACs where applicable (e.g., `Task 1 (AC: 1, 3)`) -- Add notes on project structure alignment or discrepancies found in Step 4 - -### 6. Story Draft Completion and Review - -- Review all sections for completeness and accuracy -- Verify all source references are included for technical details -- Ensure tasks align with both epic requirements and architecture constraints -- Update status to "Draft" and save the story file -- Execute `.bmad-core/tasks/execute-checklist` `.bmad-core/checklists/story-draft-checklist` -- Provide summary to user including: - - Story created: `{devStoryLocation}/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` - - Status: Draft - - Key technical components included from architecture docs - - Any deviations or conflicts noted between epic and architecture - - Checklist Results - - Next steps: For Complex stories, suggest the user carefully review the story draft and also optionally have the PO run the task `.bmad-core/tasks/validate-next-story` -==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/create-next-story.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-core/tasks/execute-checklist.md ==================== - -# Checklist Validation Task - -This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists.

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: - - āœ… PASS: Requirement clearly met - - āŒ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage - - āš ļø 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 -

Core Prompting Principles - -Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code. - -- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. -- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. -- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. -- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. - -### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework - -To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. - -1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. - - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ -2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. - - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ -3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. - - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ -4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. - - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ - -### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt - -You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. - -1. **Gather Foundational Context**: - - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. -2. **Describe the Visuals**: - - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. - - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). -3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: - - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. -4. **Present and Refine**: - - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). - - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. - - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. -==================== END: .bmad-core/tasks/generate-ai-frontend-prompt.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-core/templates/front-end-spec-tmpl.yaml ==================== -# -template: - id: frontend-spec-template-v2 - name: UI/UX Specification - version: 2.0 - output: - format: markdown - filename: docs/front-end-spec.md - title: "{{project_name}} UI/UX Specification" - -workflow: - mode: interactive - elicitation: advanced-elicitation - -sections: - - id: introduction - title: Introduction - instruction: | - Review provided documents including Project Brief, PRD, and any user research to gather context.

Processing Guidelines - -**Do NOT show:** - -- The full protocol text with `[[LLM: ...]]` instructions -- Detailed explanations of each option unless executing or the user asks, when giving the definition you can modify to tie its game development relevance -- Any internal template markup - -**After user selection from the list:** - -- Execute the chosen action according to the game design protocol instructions below -- Ask if they want to select another action or proceed with option 9 once complete -- Continue until user selects option 9 or indicates completion - -## Game Design Action Definitions - -0. Expand or Contract for Target Audience - [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] - -1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) - [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] - -2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective - [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] - -3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies - [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] - -5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks - [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective - [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] - -7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches - [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection - [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] - -9. Proceed / No Further Actions - [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current game design work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]] - -## Game Development Context Integration - -This elicitation task is specifically designed for game development and should be used in contexts where: - -- **Game Mechanics Design**: When defining core gameplay systems and player interactions -- **Player Experience Planning**: When designing for specific emotional responses and engagement patterns -- **Technical Game Architecture**: When balancing design ambitions with implementation realities -- **Game Balance and Progression**: When designing difficulty curves and player advancement systems -- **Platform Considerations**: When adapting designs for different devices and input methods - -The questions and perspectives offered should always consider: - -- Player psychology and motivation -- Technical feasibility with Phaser 3 and TypeScript -- Performance implications for 60 FPS targets -- Cross-platform compatibility (desktop and mobile) -- Game development best practices and common pitfalls -==================== END: .bmad-2d-phaser-game-dev/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-2d-phaser-game-dev/templates/game-design-doc-tmpl.yaml ==================== -# -template: - id: game-design-doc-template-v2 - name: Game Design Document (GDD) - version: 2.0 - output: - format: markdown - filename: "docs/{{game_name}}-game-design-document.md" - title: "{{game_title}} Game Design Document (GDD)" - -workflow: - mode: interactive - -sections: - - id: initial-setup - instruction: | - This template creates a comprehensive Game Design Document that will serve as the foundation for all game development work.

-==================== START: .bmad-2d-phaser-game-dev/data/development-guidelines.md ==================== - -# Game Development Guidelines - -## Overview - -This document establishes coding standards, architectural patterns, and development practices for 2D game development using Phaser 3 and TypeScript. These guidelines ensure consistency, performance, and maintainability across all game development stories. - -## TypeScript Standards - -### Strict Mode Configuration - -**Required tsconfig.json settings:** - -```json -{ - "compilerOptions": { - "strict": true, - "noImplicitAny": true, - "strictNullChecks": true, - "strictFunctionTypes": true, - "noImplicitReturns": true, - "noUnusedLocals": true, - "noUnusedParameters": true, - "exactOptionalPropertyTypes": true - } -} -``` - -### Type Definitions - -**Game Object Interfaces:** - -```typescript -// Core game entity interface -interface GameEntity { - readonly id: string; - position: Phaser.Math.Vector2; - active: boolean; - destroy(): void; -} - -// Player controller interface -interface PlayerController { - readonly inputEnabled: boolean; - handleInput(input: InputState): void; - update(delta: number): void; -} - -// Game system interface -interface GameSystem { - readonly name: string; - initialize(): void; - update(delta: number): void; - shutdown(): void; -} -``` - -**Scene Data Interfaces:** - -```typescript -// Scene transition data -interface SceneData { - [key: string]: any; -} - -// Game state interface -interface GameState { - currentLevel: number; - score: number; - lives: number; - settings: GameSettings; -} - -interface GameSettings { - musicVolume: number; - sfxVolume: number; - difficulty: 'easy' | 'normal' | 'hard'; - controls: ControlScheme; -} -``` - -### Naming Conventions - -**Classes and Interfaces:** - -- PascalCase for classes: `PlayerSprite`, `GameManager`, `AudioSystem` -- PascalCase with 'I' prefix for interfaces: `IGameEntity`, `IPlayerController` -- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `CollisionManager` not `CM` - -**Methods and Variables:** - -- camelCase for methods and variables: `updatePosition()`, `playerSpeed` -- Descriptive names: `calculateDamage()` not `calcDmg()` -- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `isActive`, `hasCollision`, `canMove` - -**Constants:** - -- UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants: `MAX_PLAYER_SPEED`, `DEFAULT_VOLUME` -- Group related constants in enums or const objects - -**Files and Directories:** - -- kebab-case for file names: `player-controller.ts`, `audio-manager.ts` -- PascalCase for scene files: `MenuScene.ts`, `GameScene.ts` - -## Phaser 3 Architecture Patterns - -### Scene Organization - -**Scene Lifecycle Management:** - -```typescript -class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { - private gameManager!: GameManager; - private inputManager!: InputManager; - - constructor() { - super({ key: 'GameScene' }); - } - - preload(): void { - // Load only scene-specific assets - this.load.image('player', 'assets/player.png'); - } - - create(data: SceneData): void { - // Initialize game systems - this.gameManager = new GameManager(this); - this.inputManager = new InputManager(this); - - // Set up scene-specific logic - this.setupGameObjects(); - this.setupEventListeners(); - } - - update(time: number, delta: number): void { - // Update all game systems - this.gameManager.update(delta); - this.inputManager.update(delta); - } - - shutdown(): void { - // Clean up resources - this.gameManager.destroy(); - this.inputManager.destroy(); - - // Remove event listeners - this.events.off('*'); - } -} -``` - -**Scene Transitions:** - -```typescript -// Proper scene transitions with data -this.scene.start('NextScene', { - playerScore: this.playerScore, - currentLevel: this.currentLevel + 1, -}); - -// Scene overlays for UI -this.scene.launch('PauseMenuScene'); -this.scene.pause(); -``` - -### Game Object Patterns - -**Component-Based Architecture:** - -```typescript -// Base game entity -abstract class GameEntity extends Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite { - protected components: Map = new Map(); - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, x: number, y: number, texture: string) { - super(scene, x, y, texture); - scene.add.existing(this); - } - - addComponent(component: T): T { - this.components.set(component.name, component); - return component; - } - - getComponent(name: string): T | undefined { - return this.components.get(name) as T; - } - - update(delta: number): void { - this.components.forEach((component) => component.update(delta)); - } - - destroy(): void { - this.components.forEach((component) => component.destroy()); - this.components.clear(); - super.destroy(); - } -} - -// Example player implementation -class Player extends GameEntity { - private movement!: MovementComponent; - private health!: HealthComponent; - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, x: number, y: number) { - super(scene, x, y, 'player'); - - this.movement = this.addComponent(new MovementComponent(this)); - this.health = this.addComponent(new HealthComponent(this, 100)); - } -} -``` - -### System Management - -**Singleton Managers:** - -```typescript -class GameManager { - private static instance: GameManager; - private scene: Phaser.Scene; - private gameState: GameState; - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene) { - if (GameManager.instance) { - throw new Error('GameManager already exists!'); - } - - this.scene = scene; - this.gameState = this.loadGameState(); - GameManager.instance = this; - } - - static getInstance(): GameManager { - if (!GameManager.instance) { - throw new Error('GameManager not initialized!'); - } - return GameManager.instance; - } - - update(delta: number): void { - // Update game logic - } - - destroy(): void { - GameManager.instance = null!; - } -} -``` - -## Performance Optimization - -### Object Pooling - -**Required for High-Frequency Objects:** - -```typescript -class BulletPool { - private pool: Bullet[] = []; - private scene: Phaser.Scene; - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, initialSize: number = 50) { - this.scene = scene; - - // Pre-create bullets - for (let i = 0; i < initialSize; i++) { - const bullet = new Bullet(scene, 0, 0); - bullet.setActive(false); - bullet.setVisible(false); - this.pool.push(bullet); - } - } - - getBullet(): Bullet | null { - const bullet = this.pool.find((b) => !b.active); - if (bullet) { - bullet.setActive(true); - bullet.setVisible(true); - return bullet; - } - - // Pool exhausted - create new bullet - console.warn('Bullet pool exhausted, creating new bullet'); - return new Bullet(this.scene, 0, 0); - } - - releaseBullet(bullet: Bullet): void { - bullet.setActive(false); - bullet.setVisible(false); - bullet.setPosition(0, 0); - } -} -``` - -### Frame Rate Optimization - -**Performance Monitoring:** - -```typescript -class PerformanceMonitor { - private frameCount: number = 0; - private lastTime: number = 0; - private frameRate: number = 60; - - update(time: number): void { - this.frameCount++; - - if (time - this.lastTime >= 1000) { - this.frameRate = this.frameCount; - this.frameCount = 0; - this.lastTime = time; - - if (this.frameRate < 55) { - console.warn(`Low frame rate detected: ${this.frameRate} FPS`); - this.optimizePerformance(); - } - } - } - - private optimizePerformance(): void { - // Reduce particle counts, disable effects, etc. - } -} -``` - -**Update Loop Optimization:** - -```typescript -// Avoid expensive operations in update loops -class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { - private updateTimer: number = 0; - private readonly UPDATE_INTERVAL = 100; // ms - - update(time: number, delta: number): void { - // High-frequency updates (every frame) - this.updatePlayer(delta); - this.updatePhysics(delta); - - // Low-frequency updates (10 times per second) - this.updateTimer += delta; - if (this.updateTimer >= this.UPDATE_INTERVAL) { - this.updateUI(); - this.updateAI(); - this.updateTimer = 0; - } - } -} -``` - -## Input Handling - -### Cross-Platform Input - -**Input Abstraction:** - -```typescript -interface InputState { - moveLeft: boolean;

Game Design Context and Review - -[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a game design section: - -1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Phaser 3.") - -2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") - -3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: - - The entire section as a whole - - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) - -4. Then present the action list as specified below.]] - -### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List - -[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection. If an elicitation action (0-8) is chosen, execute it and then re-offer this combined review/elicitation choice.

Expand or Contract for Target Audience - [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] - -1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) - [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] - -2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective - [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] - -3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies - [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] - -5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks - [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective - [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] - -7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches - [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection - [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] - -9. Proceed / No Further Actions - [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current game design work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]] - -## Game Development Context Integration - -This elicitation task is specifically designed for game development and should be used in contexts where: - -- **Game Mechanics Design**: When defining core gameplay systems and player interactions -- **Player Experience Planning**: When designing for specific emotional responses and engagement patterns -- **Technical Game Architecture**: When balancing design ambitions with implementation realities -- **Game Balance and Progression**: When designing difficulty curves and player advancement systems -- **Platform Considerations**: When adapting designs for different devices and input methods - -The questions and perspectives offered should always consider: - -- Player psychology and motivation -- Technical feasibility with Phaser 3 and TypeScript -- Performance implications for 60 FPS targets -- Cross-platform compatibility (desktop and mobile) -- Game development best practices and common pitfalls -==================== END: .bmad-2d-phaser-game-dev/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-2d-phaser-game-dev/tasks/create-deep-research-prompt.md ==================== - -# Create Deep Research Prompt Task - -This task helps create comprehensive research prompts for various types of deep analysis.

Initial Project Analysis - -**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. - -**IF PRD EXISTS**: - -- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned -- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected -- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas -- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean - -**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: -Ask the user: - -"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: - -1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. - -2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? - -3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: - - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' - - 'Refactoring the authentication module' - - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' - -4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) - -Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." - -Based on their response: - -- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation -- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below - -Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: - -1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization -2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies -3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands -4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation -5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches - -Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: - -- What is the primary purpose of this project? -- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? -- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) -- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? -- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) -- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) - -### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis - -CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: - -1. **Explore Key Areas**: - - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) - - Configuration files and environment setup - - Package dependencies and versions - - Build and deployment configurations - - Test suites and coverage - -2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: - - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" - - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" - - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" - - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" - - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" - -3. **Map the Reality**: - - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) - - Find where key business logic lives - - Locate integration points and external dependencies - - Document workarounds and technical debt - - Note areas that differ from standard patterns - -**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement - -### 3.

Progressive technique flow (start broad, narrow down) - -### Step 3: Execute Techniques Interactively - -**KEY PRINCIPLES:** - -- **FACILITATOR ROLE**: Guide user to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples -- **CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT**: Keep user engaged with chosen technique until they want to switch or are satisfied -- **CAPTURE OUTPUT**: If (default) document output requested, capture all ideas generated in each technique section to the document from the beginning. - -**Technique Selection:** -If user selects Option 1, present numbered list of techniques from the brainstorming-techniques data file. User can select by number.. - -**Technique Execution:** - -1. Apply selected technique according to data file description -2. Keep engaging with technique until user indicates they want to: - - Choose a different technique - - Apply current ideas to a new technique - - Move to convergent phase - - End session - -**Output Capture (if requested):** -For each technique used, capture: - -- Technique name and duration -- Key ideas generated by user -- Insights and patterns identified -- User's reflections on the process - -### Step 4: Session Flow - -1. **Warm-up** (5-10 min) - Build creative confidence -2. **Divergent** (20-30 min) - Generate quantity over quality -3. **Convergent** (15-20 min) - Group and categorize ideas -4. **Synthesis** (10-15 min) - Refine and develop concepts - -### Step 5: Document Output (if requested) - -Generate structured document with these sections: - -**Executive Summary** - -- Session topic and goals -- Techniques used and duration -- Total ideas generated -- Key themes and patterns identified - -**Technique Sections** (for each technique used) - -- Technique name and description -- Ideas generated (user's own words) -- Insights discovered -- Notable connections or patterns - -**Idea Categorization** - -- **Immediate Opportunities** - Ready to implement now -- **Future Innovations** - Requires development/research -- **Moonshots** - Ambitious, transformative concepts -- **Insights & Learnings** - Key realizations from session - -**Action Planning** - -- Top 3 priority ideas with rationale -- Next steps for each priority -- Resources/research needed -- Timeline considerations - -**Reflection & Follow-up** - -- What worked well in this session -- Areas for further exploration -- Recommended follow-up techniques -- Questions that emerged for future sessions - -## Key Principles - -- **YOU ARE A FACILITATOR**: Guide the user to brainstorm, don't brainstorm for them (unless they request it persistently) -- **INTERACTIVE DIALOGUE**: Ask questions, wait for responses, build on their ideas -- **ONE TECHNIQUE AT A TIME**: Don't mix multiple techniques in one response -- **CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT**: Stay with one technique until user wants to switch -- **DRAW IDEAS OUT**: Use prompts and examples to help them generate their own ideas -- **REAL-TIME ADAPTATION**: Monitor engagement and adjust approach as needed -- Maintain energy and momentum -- Defer judgment during generation -- Quantity leads to quality (aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes) -- Build on ideas collaboratively -- Document everything in output document - -## Advanced Engagement Strategies - -**Energy Management** - -- Check engagement levels: "How are you feeling about this direction?" -- Offer breaks or technique switches if energy flags -- Use encouraging language and celebrate idea generation - -**Depth vs. Breadth** - -- Ask follow-up questions to deepen ideas: "Tell me more about that..." -- Use "Yes, and..." to build on their ideas -- Help them make connections: "How does this relate to your earlier idea about...?" - -**Transition Management** - -- Always ask before switching techniques: "Ready to try a different approach?" -- Offer options: "Should we explore this idea deeper or generate more alternatives?" -- Respect their process and timing -==================== END: .bmad-2d-phaser-game-dev/tasks/facilitate-brainstorming-session.md ==================== -

These guidelines ensure consistency, performance, and maintainability across all game development stories. - -## TypeScript Standards - -### Strict Mode Configuration - -**Required tsconfig.json settings:** - -```json -{ - "compilerOptions": { - "strict": true, - "noImplicitAny": true, - "strictNullChecks": true, - "strictFunctionTypes": true, - "noImplicitReturns": true, - "noUnusedLocals": true, - "noUnusedParameters": true, - "exactOptionalPropertyTypes": true - } -} -``` - -### Type Definitions - -**Game Object Interfaces:** - -```typescript -// Core game entity interface -interface GameEntity { - readonly id: string; - position: Phaser.Math.Vector2; - active: boolean; - destroy(): void; -} - -// Player controller interface -interface PlayerController { - readonly inputEnabled: boolean; - handleInput(input: InputState): void; - update(delta: number): void; -} - -// Game system interface -interface GameSystem { - readonly name: string; - initialize(): void; - update(delta: number): void; - shutdown(): void; -} -``` - -**Scene Data Interfaces:** - -```typescript -// Scene transition data -interface SceneData { - [key: string]: any; -} - -// Game state interface -interface GameState { - currentLevel: number; - score: number; - lives: number; - settings: GameSettings; -} - -interface GameSettings { - musicVolume: number; - sfxVolume: number; - difficulty: 'easy' | 'normal' | 'hard'; - controls: ControlScheme; -} -``` - -### Naming Conventions - -**Classes and Interfaces:** - -- PascalCase for classes: `PlayerSprite`, `GameManager`, `AudioSystem` -- PascalCase with 'I' prefix for interfaces: `IGameEntity`, `IPlayerController` -- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `CollisionManager` not `CM` - -**Methods and Variables:** - -- camelCase for methods and variables: `updatePosition()`, `playerSpeed` -- Descriptive names: `calculateDamage()` not `calcDmg()` -- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `isActive`, `hasCollision`, `canMove` - -**Constants:** - -- UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants: `MAX_PLAYER_SPEED`, `DEFAULT_VOLUME` -- Group related constants in enums or const objects - -**Files and Directories:** - -- kebab-case for file names: `player-controller.ts`, `audio-manager.ts` -- PascalCase for scene files: `MenuScene.ts`, `GameScene.ts` - -## Phaser 3 Architecture Patterns - -### Scene Organization - -**Scene Lifecycle Management:** - -```typescript -class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { - private gameManager!: GameManager; - private inputManager!: InputManager; - - constructor() { - super({ key: 'GameScene' }); - } - - preload(): void { - // Load only scene-specific assets - this.load.image('player', 'assets/player.png'); - } - - create(data: SceneData): void { - // Initialize game systems - this.gameManager = new GameManager(this); - this.inputManager = new InputManager(this); - - // Set up scene-specific logic - this.setupGameObjects(); - this.setupEventListeners(); - } - - update(time: number, delta: number): void { - // Update all game systems - this.gameManager.update(delta); - this.inputManager.update(delta); - } - - shutdown(): void { - // Clean up resources - this.gameManager.destroy(); - this.inputManager.destroy(); - - // Remove event listeners - this.events.off('*'); - } -} -``` - -**Scene Transitions:** - -```typescript -// Proper scene transitions with data -this.scene.start('NextScene', { - playerScore: this.playerScore, - currentLevel: this.currentLevel + 1, -}); - -// Scene overlays for UI -this.scene.launch('PauseMenuScene'); -this.scene.pause(); -``` - -### Game Object Patterns - -**Component-Based Architecture:** - -```typescript -// Base game entity -abstract class GameEntity extends Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite { - protected components: Map = new Map(); - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, x: number, y: number, texture: string) { - super(scene, x, y, texture); - scene.add.existing(this); - } - - addComponent(component: T): T { - this.components.set(component.name, component);

Game Design Context and Review - -[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a game design section: - -1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Phaser 3.") - -2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") - -3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: - - The entire section as a whole - - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) - -4. Then present the action list as specified below.]] - -### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List - -[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection. If an elicitation action (0-8) is chosen, execute it and then re-offer this combined review/elicitation choice. If option 9 is chosen, or if the user provides direct feedback, proceed accordingly.]] - -**Present the numbered list (0-9) with this exact format:** - -```text -**Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions** -Choose an action (0-9 - 9 to bypass - HELP for explanation of these options): - -0.

Processing Guidelines - -**Do NOT show:** - -- The full protocol text with `[[LLM: ...]]` instructions -- Detailed explanations of each option unless executing or the user asks, when giving the definition you can modify to tie its game development relevance -- Any internal template markup - -**After user selection from the list:** - -- Execute the chosen action according to the game design protocol instructions below -- Ask if they want to select another action or proceed with option 9 once complete -- Continue until user selects option 9 or indicates completion - -## Game Design Action Definitions - -0. Expand or Contract for Target Audience - [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] - -1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) - [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] - -2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective - [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] - -3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies - [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] - -5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks - [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective - [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] - -7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches - [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection - [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] - -9. Proceed / No Further Actions - [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current game design work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]] - -## Game Development Context Integration - -This elicitation task is specifically designed for game development and should be used in contexts where: - -- **Game Mechanics Design**: When defining core gameplay systems and player interactions -- **Player Experience Planning**: When designing for specific emotional responses and engagement patterns -- **Technical Game Architecture**: When balancing design ambitions with implementation realities -- **Game Balance and Progression**: When designing difficulty curves and player advancement systems -- **Platform Considerations**: When adapting designs for different devices and input methods - -The questions and perspectives offered should always consider: - -- Player psychology and motivation -- Technical feasibility with Phaser 3 and TypeScript -- Performance implications for 60 FPS targets -- Cross-platform compatibility (desktop and mobile) -- Game development best practices and common pitfalls -==================== END: .bmad-2d-phaser-game-dev/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-2d-phaser-game-dev/tasks/create-game-story.md ==================== - -# Create Game Development Story Task - -## Purpose - -Create detailed, actionable game development stories that enable AI developers to implement specific game features without requiring additional design decisions. - -## When to Use - -- Breaking down game epics into implementable stories -- Converting GDD features into development tasks -- Preparing work for game developers -- Ensuring clear handoffs from design to development - -## Prerequisites - -Before creating stories, ensure you have: - -- Completed Game Design Document (GDD) -- Game Architecture Document -- Epic definition this story belongs to -- Clear understanding of the specific game feature - -## Process - -### 1.

- difficulty: 'easy' | 'normal' | 'hard'; - controls: ControlScheme; -} -``` - -### Naming Conventions - -**Classes and Interfaces:** - -- PascalCase for classes: `PlayerSprite`, `GameManager`, `AudioSystem` -- PascalCase with 'I' prefix for interfaces: `IGameEntity`, `IPlayerController` -- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `CollisionManager` not `CM` - -**Methods and Variables:** - -- camelCase for methods and variables: `updatePosition()`, `playerSpeed` -- Descriptive names: `calculateDamage()` not `calcDmg()` -- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `isActive`, `hasCollision`, `canMove` - -**Constants:** - -- UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants: `MAX_PLAYER_SPEED`, `DEFAULT_VOLUME` -- Group related constants in enums or const objects - -**Files and Directories:** - -- kebab-case for file names: `player-controller.ts`, `audio-manager.ts` -- PascalCase for scene files: `MenuScene.ts`, `GameScene.ts` - -## Phaser 3 Architecture Patterns - -### Scene Organization - -**Scene Lifecycle Management:** - -```typescript -class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { - private gameManager!: GameManager; - private inputManager!: InputManager; - - constructor() { - super({ key: 'GameScene' }); - } - - preload(): void { - // Load only scene-specific assets - this.load.image('player', 'assets/player.png');

- private readonly UPDATE_INTERVAL = 100; // ms - - update(time: number, delta: number): void { - // High-frequency updates (every frame) - this.updatePlayer(delta); - this.updatePhysics(delta); - - // Low-frequency updates (10 times per second) - this.updateTimer += delta; - if (this.updateTimer >= this.UPDATE_INTERVAL) { - this.updateUI(); - this.updateAI(); - this.updateTimer = 0; - } - } -} -``` - -## Input Handling - -### Cross-Platform Input - -**Input Abstraction:** - -```typescript -interface InputState { - moveLeft: boolean;

- } -} -``` - -## Error Handling - -### Graceful Degradation - -**Asset Loading Error Handling:** - -```typescript -class AssetManager { - loadAssets(): Promise { - return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { - this.scene.load.on('filecomplete', this.handleFileComplete, this); - this.scene.load.on('loaderror', this.handleLoadError, this); - this.scene.load.on('complete', () => resolve()); - - this.scene.load.start(); - }); - } - - private handleLoadError(file: Phaser.Loader.File): void { - console.error(`Failed to load asset: ${file.key}`);

Initial Project Analysis - -**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. - -**IF PRD EXISTS**: - -- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned -- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected -- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas -- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean - -**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: -Ask the user: - -"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: - -1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. - -2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? - -3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: - - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' - - 'Refactoring the authentication module' - - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' - -4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) - -Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." - -Based on their response: - -- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation -- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below - -Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: - -1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization -2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies -3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands -4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation -5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches - -Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: - -- What is the primary purpose of this project? -- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? -- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) -- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? -- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) -- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) - -### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis - -CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: - -1. **Explore Key Areas**: - - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) - - Configuration files and environment setup - - Package dependencies and versions - - Build and deployment configurations - - Test suites and coverage - -2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: - - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" - - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" - - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" - - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" - - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" - -3. **Map the Reality**: - - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) - - Find where key business logic lives - - Locate integration points and external dependencies - - Document workarounds and technical debt - - Note areas that differ from standard patterns - -**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement - -### 3.

Game Design Context and Review - -[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a game design section: - -1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Unity.") - -2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") - -3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: - - The entire section as a whole - - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) - -4. Then present the action list as specified below.]] - -### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List - -[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection. If an elicitation action (0-8) is chosen, execute it and then re-offer this combined review/elicitation choice. If option 9 is chosen, or if the user provides direct feedback, proceed accordingly.]] - -**Present the numbered list (0-9) with this exact format:** - -```text -**Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions** -Choose an action (0-9 - 9 to bypass - HELP for explanation of these options): - -0.

Expand or Contract for Target Audience - [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] - -1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) - [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] - -2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective - [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] - -3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies - [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] - -5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks - [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective - [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] - -7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches - [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection - [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] - -9. Proceed / No Further Actions - [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current game design work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]] - -## Game Development Context Integration - -This elicitation task is specifically designed for game development and should be used in contexts where: - -- **Game Mechanics Design**: When defining core gameplay systems and player interactions -- **Player Experience Planning**: When designing for specific emotional responses and engagement patterns -- **Technical Game Architecture**: When balancing design ambitions with implementation realities -- **Game Balance and Progression**: When designing difficulty curves and player advancement systems -- **Platform Considerations**: When adapting designs for different devices and input methods - -The questions and perspectives offered should always consider: - -- Player psychology and motivation -- Technical feasibility with Unity and C# -- Performance implications for stable frame rate targets -- Cross-platform compatibility (PC, console, mobile) -- Game development best practices and common pitfalls -==================== END: .bmad-2d-unity-game-dev/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-2d-unity-game-dev/templates/game-architecture-tmpl.yaml ==================== -# -template: - id: game-architecture-template-v3 - name: Game Architecture Document - version: 3.0 - output: - format: markdown - filename: docs/game-architecture.md - title: "{{project_name}} Game Architecture Document" - -workflow: - mode: interactive - elicitation: advanced-elicitation - -sections: - - id: introduction - title: Introduction - instruction: | - If available, review any provided relevant documents to gather all relevant context before beginning.

These guidelines ensure consistency, performance, and maintainability across all game development stories. - -## C# Standards - -### Naming Conventions - -**Classes, Structs, Enums, and Interfaces:** - -- PascalCase for types: `PlayerController`, `GameData`, `IInteractable` -- Prefix interfaces with 'I': `IDamageable`, `IControllable` -- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `GameStateManager` not `GSM` - -**Methods and Properties:** - -- PascalCase for methods and properties: `CalculateScore()`, `CurrentHealth` -- Descriptive verb phrases for methods: `ActivateShield()` not `shield()` - -**Fields and Variables:** - -- `private` or `protected` fields: camelCase with an underscore prefix: `_playerHealth`, `_movementSpeed` -- `public` fields (use sparingly, prefer properties): PascalCase: `PlayerName` -- `static` fields: PascalCase: `Instance`, `GameVersion` -- `const` fields: PascalCase: `MaxHitPoints` -- `local` variables: camelCase: `damageAmount`, `isJumping` -- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `_isAlive`, `_hasKey`, `_canJump` - -**Files and Directories:** - -- PascalCase for C# script files, matching the primary class name: `PlayerController.cs` -- PascalCase for Scene files: `MainMenu.unity`, `Level01.unity` - -### Style and Formatting - -- **Braces**: Use Allman style (braces on a new line). -- **Spacing**: Use 4 spaces for indentation (no tabs). -- **`using` directives**: Place all `using` directives at the top of the file, outside the namespace. -- **`this` keyword**: Only use `this` when necessary to distinguish between a field and a local variable/parameter. - -## Unity Architecture Patterns - -### Scene Lifecycle Management - -**Loading and Transitioning Between Scenes:** - -```csharp -// SceneLoader.cs - A singleton for managing scene transitions. -using UnityEngine; -using UnityEngine.SceneManagement; -using System.Collections; - -public class SceneLoader : MonoBehaviour -{ - public static SceneLoader Instance { get; private set; } - - private void Awake() - { - if (Instance != null && Instance != this) - { - Destroy(gameObject); - return; - } - Instance = this; - DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); - } - - public void LoadGameScene() - { - // Example of loading the main game scene, perhaps with a loading screen first. - StartCoroutine(LoadSceneAsync("Level01")); - } - - private IEnumerator LoadSceneAsync(string sceneName) - { - // Load a loading screen first (optional) - SceneManager.LoadScene("LoadingScreen"); - - // Wait a frame for the loading screen to appear - yield return null; - - // Begin loading the target scene in the background - AsyncOperation asyncLoad = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(sceneName); - - // Don't activate the scene until it's fully loaded - asyncLoad.allowSceneActivation = false; - - // Wait until the asynchronous scene fully loads - while (!asyncLoad.isDone) - { - // Here you could update a progress bar with asyncLoad.progress - if (asyncLoad.progress >= 0.9f) - { - // Scene is loaded, allow activation - asyncLoad.allowSceneActivation = true; - } - yield return null; - } - } -} -``` - -### MonoBehaviour Lifecycle - -**Understanding Core MonoBehaviour Events:** - -```csharp -// Example of a standard MonoBehaviour lifecycle -using UnityEngine; - -public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour -{ - // AWAKE: Called when the script instance is being loaded. - // Use for initialization before the game starts. Good for caching component references. - private void Awake() - { - Debug.Log("PlayerController Awake!"); - } - - // ONENABLE: Called when the object becomes enabled and active. - // Good for subscribing to events. - private void OnEnable() - { - // Example: UIManager.OnGamePaused += HandleGamePaused; - } - - // START: Called on the frame when a script is enabled just before any of the Update methods are called the first time. - // Good for logic that depends on other objects being initialized. - private void Start() - { - Debug.Log("PlayerController Start!"); - } - - // FIXEDUPDATE: Called every fixed framerate frame. - // Use for physics calculations (e.g., applying forces to a Rigidbody). - private void FixedUpdate() - { - // Handle Rigidbody movement here. - } - - // UPDATE: Called every frame. - // Use for most game logic, like handling input and non-physics movement. - private void Update() - { - // Handle input and non-physics movement here. - } - - // LATEUPDATE: Called every frame, after all Update functions have been called. - // Good for camera logic that needs to track a target that moves in Update. - private void LateUpdate() - { - // Camera follow logic here. - } - - // ONDISABLE: Called when the behaviour becomes disabled or inactive. - // Good for unsubscribing from events to prevent memory leaks. - private void OnDisable() - { - // Example: UIManager.OnGamePaused -= HandleGamePaused; - } - - // ONDESTROY: Called when the MonoBehaviour will be destroyed. - // Good for any final cleanup. - private void OnDestroy() - { - Debug.Log("PlayerController Destroyed!"); - } -} -``` - -### Game Object Patterns - -**Component-Based Architecture:** - -```csharp -// Player.cs - The main GameObject class, acts as a container for components. -using UnityEngine; - -[RequireComponent(typeof(PlayerMovement), typeof(PlayerHealth))] -public class Player : MonoBehaviour -{ - public PlayerMovement Movement { get; private set; } - public PlayerHealth Health { get; private set; } - - private void Awake() - { - Movement = GetComponent(); - Health = GetComponent(); - } -} - -// PlayerHealth.cs - A component responsible only for health logic. -public class PlayerHealth : MonoBehaviour -{ - [SerializeField] private int _maxHealth = 100; - private int _currentHealth; - - private void Awake() - { - _currentHealth = _maxHealth; - } - - public void TakeDamage(int amount) - { - _currentHealth -= amount; - if (_currentHealth <= 0) - { - Die(); - } - } - - private void Die() - { - // Death logic - Debug.Log("Player has died."); - gameObject.SetActive(false); - } -} -``` - -### Data-Driven Design with ScriptableObjects - -**Define Data Containers:** - -```csharp -// EnemyData.cs - A ScriptableObject to hold data for an enemy type. -using UnityEngine; - -[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "NewEnemyData", menuName = "Game/Enemy Data")] -public class EnemyData : ScriptableObject -{ - public string enemyName; - public int maxHealth; - public float moveSpeed; - public int damage; - public Sprite sprite; -} - -// Enemy.cs - A MonoBehaviour that uses the EnemyData. -public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour -{ - [SerializeField] private EnemyData _enemyData; - private int _currentHealth; - - private void Start() - { - _currentHealth = _enemyData.maxHealth; - GetComponent().sprite = _enemyData.sprite; - } - - // ... other enemy logic -} -``` - -### System Management - -**Singleton Managers:** - -```csharp -// GameManager.cs - A singleton to manage the overall game state. -using UnityEngine; - -public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour -{ - public static GameManager Instance { get; private set; } - - public int Score { get; private set; } - - private void Awake() - { - if (Instance != null && Instance != this) - { - Destroy(gameObject); - return; - } - Instance = this; - DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); // Persist across scenes - } - - public void AddScore(int amount) - { - Score += amount; - } -} -``` - -## Performance Optimization - -### Object Pooling - -**Required for High-Frequency Objects (e.g., bullets, effects):** - -```csharp -// ObjectPool.cs - A generic object pooling system. -using UnityEngine; -using System.Collections.Generic; - -public class ObjectPool : MonoBehaviour -{ - [SerializeField] private GameObject _prefabToPool; - [SerializeField] private int _initialPoolSize = 20; - - private Queue _pool = new Queue(); - - private void Start() - { - for (int i = 0; i < _initialPoolSize; i++) - { - GameObject obj = Instantiate(_prefabToPool); - obj.SetActive(false); - _pool.Enqueue(obj); - } - } - - public GameObject GetObjectFromPool() - { - if (_pool.Count > 0) - { - GameObject obj = _pool.Dequeue(); - obj.SetActive(true); - return obj; - } - // Optionally, expand the pool if it's empty. - return Instantiate(_prefabToPool); - } - - public void ReturnObjectToPool(GameObject obj) - { - obj.SetActive(false); - _pool.Enqueue(obj); - } -} -``` - -### Frame Rate Optimization - -**Update Loop Optimization:** - -- Avoid expensive calls like `GetComponent`, `FindObjectOfType`, or `Instantiate` inside `Update()` or `FixedUpdate()`. Cache references in `Awake()` or `Start()`. -- Use Coroutines or simple timers for logic that doesn't need to run every single frame. - -**Physics Optimization:** - -- Adjust the "Physics 2D Settings" in Project Settings, especially the "Layer Collision Matrix", to prevent unnecessary collision checks. -- Use `Rigidbody2D.Sleep()` for objects that are not moving to save CPU cycles. - -## Input Handling - -### Cross-Platform Input (New Input System) - -**Input Action Asset:** Create an Input Action Asset (`.inputactions`) to define controls. - -**PlayerInput Component:** - -- Add the `PlayerInput` component to the player GameObject. -- Set its "Actions" to the created Input Action Asset. -- Set "Behavior" to "Invoke Unity Events" to easily hook up methods in the Inspector, or "Send Messages" to use methods like `OnMove`, `OnFire`. - -```csharp -// PlayerInputHandler.cs - Example of handling input via messages. -using UnityEngine; -using UnityEngine.InputSystem; - -public class PlayerInputHandler : MonoBehaviour -{ - private Vector2 _moveInput; - - // This method is called by the PlayerInput component via "Send Messages". - // The action must be named "Move" in the Input Action Asset. - public void OnMove(InputValue value) - { - _moveInput = value.Get(); - } - - private void Update() - { - // Use _moveInput to control the player - transform.Translate(new Vector3(_moveInput.x, _moveInput.y, 0) * Time.deltaTime * 5f); - } -} -``` - -## Error Handling - -### Graceful Degradation - -**Asset Loading Error Handling:** - -- When using Addressables or `Resources.Load`, always check if the loaded asset is null before using it. - -```csharp -// Load a sprite and use a fallback if it fails -Sprite playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Player"); -if (playerSprite == null) -{ - Debug.LogError("Player sprite not found! Using default."); - playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Default"); -} -``` - -### Runtime Error Recovery - -**Assertions and Logging:** - -- Use `Debug.Assert(condition, "Message")` to check for critical conditions that must be true. -- Use `Debug.LogError("Message")` for fatal errors and `Debug.LogWarning("Message")` for non-critical issues. - -```csharp -// Example of using an assertion to ensure a component exists. -private Rigidbody2D _rb; - -void Awake() -{ - _rb = GetComponent(); - Debug.Assert(_rb != null, "Rigidbody2D component not found on player!"); -} -``` - -## Testing Standards - -### Unit Testing (Edit Mode) - -**Game Logic Testing:** - -```csharp -// HealthSystemTests.cs - Example test for a simple health system. -using NUnit.Framework; -using UnityEngine; - -public class HealthSystemTests -{ - [Test] - public void TakeDamage_ReducesHealth() - { - // Arrange - var gameObject = new GameObject(); - var healthSystem = gameObject.AddComponent(); - // Note: This is a simplified example. You might need to mock dependencies. - - // Act - healthSystem.TakeDamage(20); - - // Assert - // This requires making health accessible for testing, e.g., via a public property or method. - // Assert.AreEqual(80, healthSystem.CurrentHealth); - } -} -``` - -### Integration Testing (Play Mode) - -**Scene Testing:** - -- Play Mode tests run in a live scene, allowing you to test interactions between multiple components and systems. -- Use `yield return null;` to wait for the next frame. - -```csharp -// PlayerJumpTest.cs -using System.Collections; -using NUnit.Framework; -using UnityEngine; -using UnityEngine.TestTools; - -public class PlayerJumpTest -{ - [UnityTest] - public IEnumerator PlayerJumps_WhenSpaceIsPressed() - { - // Arrange - var player = new GameObject().AddComponent(); - var initialY = player.transform.position.y; - - // Act - // Simulate pressing the jump button (requires setting up the input system for tests) - // For simplicity, we'll call a public method here. - // player.Jump(); - - // Wait for a few physics frames - yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f); - - // Assert - Assert.Greater(player.transform.position.y, initialY); - } -} -``` - -## File Organization - -### Project Structure - -``` -Assets/ -ā”œā”€ā”€ Scenes/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ MainMenu.unity -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Level01.unity -ā”œā”€ā”€ Scripts/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Core/ -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ GameManager.cs -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ AudioManager.cs -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Player/ -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ PlayerController.cs -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ PlayerHealth.cs -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Editor/ -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ CustomInspectors.cs -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Data/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ EnemyData.cs -ā”œā”€ā”€ Prefabs/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Player.prefab -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Enemies/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Slime.prefab -ā”œā”€ā”€ Art/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Sprites/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Animations/ -ā”œā”€ā”€ Audio/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Music/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ SFX/ -ā”œā”€ā”€ Data/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ ScriptableObjects/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ EnemyData/ -ā””ā”€ā”€ Tests/ - ā”œā”€ā”€ EditMode/ - ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ HealthSystemTests.cs - ā””ā”€ā”€ PlayMode/ - ā””ā”€ā”€ PlayerJumpTest.cs -``` - -## Development Workflow - -### Story Implementation Process - -1. **Read Story Requirements:** - - Understand acceptance criteria - - Identify technical requirements - - Review performance constraints - -2. **Plan Implementation:** - - Identify files to create/modify - - Consider Unity's component-based architecture - - Plan testing approach - -3. **Implement Feature:** - - Write clean C# code following all guidelines - - Use established patterns - - Maintain stable FPS performance - -4. **Test Implementation:** - - Write edit mode tests for game logic - - Write play mode tests for integration testing - - Test cross-platform functionality - - Validate performance targets - -5. **Update Documentation:** - - Mark story checkboxes complete - - Document any deviations - - Update architecture if needed - -### Code Review Checklist - -- [ ] C# code compiles without errors or warnings. -- [ ] All automated tests pass. -- [ ] Code follows naming conventions and architectural patterns. -- [ ] No expensive operations in `Update()` loops. -- [ ] Public fields/methods are documented with comments. -- [ ] New assets are organized into the correct folders. - -## Performance Targets - -### Frame Rate Requirements - -- **PC/Console**: Maintain a stable 60+ FPS. -- **Mobile**: Maintain 60 FPS on mid-range devices, minimum 30 FPS on low-end. -- **Optimization**: Use the Unity Profiler to identify and fix performance drops. - -### Memory Management - -- **Total Memory**: Keep builds under platform-specific limits (e.g., 200MB for a simple mobile game). -- **Garbage Collection**: Minimize GC spikes by avoiding string concatenation, `new` keyword usage in loops, and by pooling objects. - -### Loading Performance - -- **Initial Load**: Under 5 seconds for game start. -- **Scene Transitions**: Under 2 seconds between scenes.

Especially Gemini for Game Design!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context for game brainstorming:** - -**For All Game Projects**: - -1. **Game Concept Brainstorming**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Use `*game-design-brainstorming` task -2. **Game Brief**: Create foundation game document using `game-brief-tmpl` -3. **Game Design Document Creation**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Use `game-design-doc-tmpl` for comprehensive game requirements -4. **Game Architecture Design**: `/bmad2du/game-architect` - Use `game-architecture-tmpl` for Unity technical foundation -5. **Level Design Framework**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Use `level-design-doc-tmpl` for level structure planning -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to Unity project as `docs/game-design-doc.md`, `docs/game-brief.md`, `docs/level-design.md` and `docs/game-architecture.md` - -#### Example Game Planning Prompts - -**For Game Design Document Creation**: - -```text -"I want to build a [genre] 2D game that [core gameplay]. -Help me brainstorm mechanics and create a comprehensive Game Design Document." -``` - -**For Game Architecture Design**: - -```text -"Based on this Game Design Document, design a scalable Unity architecture -that can handle [specific game requirements] with stable performance." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to Unity IDE - -**Once game planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for Unity development:** - -- **Why**: Unity development workflow requires C# operations, asset management, and real-time Unity testing -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large game design creation; IDE is optimized for Unity development -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/game-design-doc.md` and `docs/game-architecture.md` exist in your Unity project - -### Unity IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Game planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder of Unity project - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP for Game Development): - - Documents created by Game Designer/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Use core BMad agents or tools to shard: - a) **Manual**: Use core BMad `shard-doc` task if available - b) **Agent**: Ask core `@bmad-master` agent to shard documents - - Shards `docs/game-design-doc.md` ā†’ `docs/game-design/` folder - - Shards `docs/game-architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/game-architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files to Unity is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Game Content**: - - At least one `feature-n.md` file in `docs/game-design/` with game stories in development order - - Unity system documents and coding standards for game dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for Game SM agent story creation - -Resulting Unity Project Folder Structure: - -- `docs/game-design/` - Broken down game design sections -- `docs/game-architecture/` - Broken down Unity architecture sections -- `docs/game-stories/` - Generated game development stories - -3. **Game Development Cycle** (Sequential, one game story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT for Unity Development**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for Game SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between Game SM, Game Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Game Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `/bmad2du/game-sm` ā†’ `*draft` - - Game SM executes create-game-story task using `game-story-tmpl` - - Review generated story in `docs/game-stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Unity Game Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `/bmad2du/game-developer` - - Agent asks which game story to implement - - Include story file content to save game dev agent lookup time - - Game Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Game Dev maintains File List of all Unity/C# changes - - Game Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all Unity tests passing - - **Step 3 - Game QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Use core `@qa` agent ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior Unity developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve Unity code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for game dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue Game SM ā†’ Game Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all game feature stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 game story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all game feature stories complete. - -### Game Story Status Tracking Workflow - -Game stories progress through defined statuses: - -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Game Development Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Game Development - -- Game concept brainstorming and mechanics design -- Game design requirements and feature definition -- Unity system architecture and technical design -- Game development execution -- Game testing, performance optimization, and deployment - -#### Brownfield Game Enhancement (Existing Unity Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield game development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing Unity project for AI agents to understand game mechanics, Unity patterns, and technical constraints. - -**Brownfield Game Enhancement Workflow**: - -Since this expansion pack doesn't include specific brownfield templates, you'll adapt the existing templates: - -1. **Upload Unity project to Web UI** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create adapted Game Design Document**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Modify `game-design-doc-tmpl` to include: - - Analysis of existing game systems - - Integration points for new features - - Compatibility requirements - - Risk assessment for changes - -3. **Game Architecture Planning**: - - Use `/bmad2du/game-architect` with `game-architecture-tmpl` - - Focus on how new features integrate with existing Unity systems - - Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -4. **Story Creation for Enhancements**: - - Use `/bmad2du/game-sm` with `*create-game-story` - - Stories should explicitly reference existing code to modify - - Include integration testing requirements - -**When to Use Each Game Development Approach**: - -**Full Game Enhancement Workflow** (Recommended for): - -- Major game feature additions -- Game system modernization -- Complex Unity integrations -- Multiple related gameplay changes - -**Quick Story Creation** (Use when): - -- Single, focused game enhancement -- Isolated gameplay fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing Unity game - -**Critical Success Factors for Game Development**: - -1. **Game Documentation First**: Always document existing code thoroughly before making changes -2. **Unity Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant Unity scripts and game systems -3. **Gameplay Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes to game mechanics -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and extensive game testing - -## Document Creation Best Practices for Game Development - -### Required File Naming for Game Framework Integration - -- `docs/game-design-doc.md` - Game Design Document -- `docs/game-architecture.md` - Unity System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter for Game Development**: - -- Game agents automatically reference these files during Unity development -- Game sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Game workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Game Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Game Documents (Game Design Document, Game Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create game documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your Unity project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/game-design-doc.md` and `docs/game-architecture.md` -4. **Switch to Unity IDE**: Use IDE agents for Unity development and smaller game documents - -### Game Document Sharding - -Game templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original Game Design Document**: - -```markdown -## Core Gameplay Mechanics - -## Player Progression System - -## Level Design Framework - -## Technical Requirements -``` - -**After Sharding**: - -- `docs/game-design/core-gameplay-mechanics.md` -- `docs/game-design/player-progression-system.md` -- `docs/game-design/level-design-framework.md` -- `docs/game-design/technical-requirements.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic game document sharding. - -## Game Agent System - -### Core Game Development Team - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | -| `game-designer` | Game Designer | Game mechanics, creative design, GDD | Game concept, mechanics, creative direction | -| `game-developer` | Unity Developer | C# implementation, Unity optimization | All Unity development tasks | -| `game-sm` | Game Scrum Master | Game story creation, sprint planning | Game project management, workflow | -| `game-architect` | Game Architect | Unity system design, technical architecture | Complex Unity systems, performance planning | - -**Note**: For QA and other roles, use the core BMad agents (e.g., `@qa` from bmad-core). - -### Game Agent Interaction Commands - -#### IDE-Specific Syntax for Game Development - -**Game Agent Loading by IDE**: - -- **Claude Code**: `/bmad2du/game-designer`, `/bmad2du/game-developer`, `/bmad2du/game-sm`, `/bmad2du/game-architect` -- **Cursor**: `@bmad2du/game-designer`, `@bmad2du/game-developer`, `@bmad2du/game-sm`, `@bmad2du/game-architect` -- **Windsurf**: `/bmad2du/game-designer`, `/bmad2du/game-developer`, `/bmad2du/game-sm`, `/bmad2du/game-architect` -- **Trae**: `@bmad2du/game-designer`, `@bmad2du/game-developer`, `@bmad2du/game-sm`, `@bmad2du/game-architect` -- **Roo Code**: Select mode from mode selector with bmad2du prefix -- **GitHub Copilot**: Open the Chat view (`āŒƒāŒ˜I` on Mac, `Ctrl+Alt+I` on Windows/Linux) and select the appropriate game agent. -

First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Unity.") - -2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") - -3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: - - The entire section as a whole - - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) - -4. Then present the action list as specified below.]] - -### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List - -[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section.

Expand or Contract for Target Audience - [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] - -1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) - [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] - -2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective - [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] - -3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies - [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] - -5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks - [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective - [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] - -7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches - [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches.

Especially Gemini for Game Design!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context for game brainstorming:** - -**For All Game Projects**: - -1. **Game Concept Brainstorming**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Use `*game-design-brainstorming` task -2. **Game Brief**: Create foundation game document using `game-brief-tmpl` -3. **Game Design Document Creation**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Use `game-design-doc-tmpl` for comprehensive game requirements -4. **Game Architecture Design**: `/bmad2du/game-architect` - Use `game-architecture-tmpl` for Unity technical foundation -5. **Level Design Framework**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Use `level-design-doc-tmpl` for level structure planning -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to Unity project as `docs/game-design-doc.md`, `docs/game-brief.md`, `docs/level-design.md` and `docs/game-architecture.md` - -#### Example Game Planning Prompts - -**For Game Design Document Creation**: - -```text -"I want to build a [genre] 2D game that [core gameplay]. -Help me brainstorm mechanics and create a comprehensive Game Design Document." -``` - -**For Game Architecture Design**: - -```text -"Based on this Game Design Document, design a scalable Unity architecture -that can handle [specific game requirements] with stable performance." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to Unity IDE - -**Once game planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for Unity development:** - -- **Why**: Unity development workflow requires C# operations, asset management, and real-time Unity testing -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large game design creation; IDE is optimized for Unity development -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/game-design-doc.md` and `docs/game-architecture.md` exist in your Unity project - -### Unity IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Game planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder of Unity project - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP for Game Development): - - Documents created by Game Designer/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Use core BMad agents or tools to shard: - a) **Manual**: Use core BMad `shard-doc` task if available - b) **Agent**: Ask core `@bmad-master` agent to shard documents - - Shards `docs/game-design-doc.md` ā†’ `docs/game-design/` folder - - Shards `docs/game-architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/game-architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files to Unity is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Game Content**: - - At least one `feature-n.md` file in `docs/game-design/` with game stories in development order - - Unity system documents and coding standards for game dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for Game SM agent story creation - -Resulting Unity Project Folder Structure: - -- `docs/game-design/` - Broken down game design sections -- `docs/game-architecture/` - Broken down Unity architecture sections -- `docs/game-stories/` - Generated game development stories - -3. **Game Development Cycle** (Sequential, one game story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT for Unity Development**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for Game SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between Game SM, Game Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Game Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `/bmad2du/game-sm` ā†’ `*draft` - - Game SM executes create-game-story task using `game-story-tmpl` - - Review generated story in `docs/game-stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Unity Game Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `/bmad2du/game-developer` - - Agent asks which game story to implement - - Include story file content to save game dev agent lookup time - - Game Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Game Dev maintains File List of all Unity/C# changes - - Game Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all Unity tests passing - - **Step 3 - Game QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Use core `@qa` agent ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior Unity developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve Unity code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for game dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue Game SM ā†’ Game Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all game feature stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 game story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all game feature stories complete. - -### Game Story Status Tracking Workflow - -Game stories progress through defined statuses: - -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Game Development Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Game Development - -- Game concept brainstorming and mechanics design -- Game design requirements and feature definition -- Unity system architecture and technical design -- Game development execution -- Game testing, performance optimization, and deployment - -#### Brownfield Game Enhancement (Existing Unity Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield game development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing Unity project for AI agents to understand game mechanics, Unity patterns, and technical constraints. - -**Brownfield Game Enhancement Workflow**: - -Since this expansion pack doesn't include specific brownfield templates, you'll adapt the existing templates: - -1. **Upload Unity project to Web UI** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create adapted Game Design Document**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Modify `game-design-doc-tmpl` to include: - - Analysis of existing game systems - - Integration points for new features - - Compatibility requirements - - Risk assessment for changes - -3. **Game Architecture Planning**: - - Use `/bmad2du/game-architect` with `game-architecture-tmpl` - - Focus on how new features integrate with existing Unity systems - - Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -4. **Story Creation for Enhancements**: - - Use `/bmad2du/game-sm` with `*create-game-story` - - Stories should explicitly reference existing code to modify - - Include integration testing requirements - -**When to Use Each Game Development Approach**: - -**Full Game Enhancement Workflow** (Recommended for): - -- Major game feature additions -- Game system modernization -- Complex Unity integrations -- Multiple related gameplay changes - -**Quick Story Creation** (Use when): - -- Single, focused game enhancement -- Isolated gameplay fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing Unity game - -**Critical Success Factors for Game Development**: - -1. **Game Documentation First**: Always document existing code thoroughly before making changes -2. **Unity Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant Unity scripts and game systems -3. **Gameplay Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes to game mechanics -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and extensive game testing - -## Document Creation Best Practices for Game Development - -### Required File Naming for Game Framework Integration - -- `docs/game-design-doc.md` - Game Design Document -- `docs/game-architecture.md` - Unity System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter for Game Development**: - -- Game agents automatically reference these files during Unity development -- Game sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Game workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Game Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Game Documents (Game Design Document, Game Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create game documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your Unity project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/game-design-doc.md` and `docs/game-architecture.md` -4. **Switch to Unity IDE**: Use IDE agents for Unity development and smaller game documents - -### Game Document Sharding - -Game templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original Game Design Document**: - -```markdown -## Core Gameplay Mechanics - -## Player Progression System - -## Level Design Framework - -## Technical Requirements -``` - -**After Sharding**: - -- `docs/game-design/core-gameplay-mechanics.md` -- `docs/game-design/player-progression-system.md` -- `docs/game-design/level-design-framework.md` -- `docs/game-design/technical-requirements.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic game document sharding. - -## Game Agent System - -### Core Game Development Team - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | -| `game-designer` | Game Designer | Game mechanics, creative design, GDD | Game concept, mechanics, creative direction | -| `game-developer` | Unity Developer | C# implementation, Unity optimization | All Unity development tasks | -| `game-sm` | Game Scrum Master | Game story creation, sprint planning | Game project management, workflow | -| `game-architect` | Game Architect | Unity system design, technical architecture | Complex Unity systems, performance planning | - -**Note**: For QA and other roles, use the core BMad agents (e.g., `@qa` from bmad-core). - -### Game Agent Interaction Commands - -#### IDE-Specific Syntax for Game Development - -**Game Agent Loading by IDE**: -

Use `*game-design-brainstorming` task -2. **Game Brief**: Create foundation game document using `game-brief-tmpl` -3. **Game Design Document Creation**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Use `game-design-doc-tmpl` for comprehensive game requirements -4. **Game Architecture Design**: `/bmad2du/game-architect` - Use `game-architecture-tmpl` for Unity technical foundation -5. **Level Design Framework**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Use `level-design-doc-tmpl` for level structure planning -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to Unity project as `docs/game-design-doc.md`, `docs/game-brief.md`, `docs/level-design.md` and `docs/game-architecture.md` - -#### Example Game Planning Prompts - -**For Game Design Document Creation**: - -```text -"I want to build a [genre] 2D game that [core gameplay]. -Help me brainstorm mechanics and create a comprehensive Game Design Document." -``` - -**For Game Architecture Design**: - -```text -"Based on this Game Design Document, design a scalable Unity architecture -that can handle [specific game requirements] with stable performance." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to Unity IDE - -**Once game planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for Unity development:** - -- **Why**: Unity development workflow requires C# operations, asset management, and real-time Unity testing -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large game design creation; IDE is optimized for Unity development -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/game-design-doc.md` and `docs/game-architecture.md` exist in your Unity project - -### Unity IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Game planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder of Unity project - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP for Game Development): - - Documents created by Game Designer/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Use core BMad agents or tools to shard: - a) **Manual**: Use core BMad `shard-doc` task if available - b) **Agent**: Ask core `@bmad-master` agent to shard documents - - Shards `docs/game-design-doc.md` ā†’ `docs/game-design/` folder - - Shards `docs/game-architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/game-architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files to Unity is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Game Content**: - - At least one `feature-n.md` file in `docs/game-design/` with game stories in development order - - Unity system documents and coding standards for game dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for Game SM agent story creation - -Resulting Unity Project Folder Structure: - -- `docs/game-design/` - Broken down game design sections -- `docs/game-architecture/` - Broken down Unity architecture sections -- `docs/game-stories/` - Generated game development stories - -3. **Game Development Cycle** (Sequential, one game story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT for Unity Development**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for Game SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between Game SM, Game Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Game Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `/bmad2du/game-sm` ā†’ `*draft` - - Game SM executes create-game-story task using `game-story-tmpl` - - Review generated story in `docs/game-stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Unity Game Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `/bmad2du/game-developer` - - Agent asks which game story to implement - - Include story file content to save game dev agent lookup time - - Game Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Game Dev maintains File List of all Unity/C# changes - - Game Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all Unity tests passing - - **Step 3 - Game QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Use core `@qa` agent ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior Unity developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve Unity code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for game dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue Game SM ā†’ Game Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all game feature stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 game story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all game feature stories complete. - -### Game Story Status Tracking Workflow - -Game stories progress through defined statuses: - -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Game Development Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Game Development - -- Game concept brainstorming and mechanics design -- Game design requirements and feature definition -- Unity system architecture and technical design -- Game development execution -- Game testing, performance optimization, and deployment - -#### Brownfield Game Enhancement (Existing Unity Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield game development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing Unity project for AI agents to understand game mechanics, Unity patterns, and technical constraints. - -**Brownfield Game Enhancement Workflow**: - -Since this expansion pack doesn't include specific brownfield templates, you'll adapt the existing templates: - -1. **Upload Unity project to Web UI** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create adapted Game Design Document**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Modify `game-design-doc-tmpl` to include: - - Analysis of existing game systems - - Integration points for new features - - Compatibility requirements - - Risk assessment for changes - -3. **Game Architecture Planning**: - - Use `/bmad2du/game-architect` with `game-architecture-tmpl` - - Focus on how new features integrate with existing Unity systems - - Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -4. **Story Creation for Enhancements**: - - Use `/bmad2du/game-sm` with `*create-game-story` - - Stories should explicitly reference existing code to modify - - Include integration testing requirements - -**When to Use Each Game Development Approach**: - -**Full Game Enhancement Workflow** (Recommended for): - -- Major game feature additions -- Game system modernization -- Complex Unity integrations -- Multiple related gameplay changes - -**Quick Story Creation** (Use when): - -- Single, focused game enhancement -- Isolated gameplay fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing Unity game - -**Critical Success Factors for Game Development**: - -1. **Game Documentation First**: Always document existing code thoroughly before making changes -2. **Unity Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant Unity scripts and game systems -3. **Gameplay Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes to game mechanics -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and extensive game testing - -## Document Creation Best Practices for Game Development - -### Required File Naming for Game Framework Integration - -- `docs/game-design-doc.md` - Game Design Document -- `docs/game-architecture.md` - Unity System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter for Game Development**: - -- Game agents automatically reference these files during Unity development -- Game sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Game workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Game Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Game Documents (Game Design Document, Game Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create game documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your Unity project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/game-design-doc.md` and `docs/game-architecture.md` -4. **Switch to Unity IDE**: Use IDE agents for Unity development and smaller game documents - -### Game Document Sharding - -Game templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original Game Design Document**: - -```markdown -## Core Gameplay Mechanics - -## Player Progression System - -## Level Design Framework - -## Technical Requirements -``` - -**After Sharding**: - -- `docs/game-design/core-gameplay-mechanics.md` -- `docs/game-design/player-progression-system.md` -- `docs/game-design/level-design-framework.md` -- `docs/game-design/technical-requirements.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic game document sharding. - -## Game Agent System - -### Core Game Development Team - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | -| `game-designer` | Game Designer | Game mechanics, creative design, GDD | Game concept, mechanics, creative direction | -| `game-developer` | Unity Developer | C# implementation, Unity optimization | All Unity development tasks | -| `game-sm` | Game Scrum Master | Game story creation, sprint planning | Game project management, workflow | -| `game-architect` | Game Architect | Unity system design, technical architecture | Complex Unity systems, performance planning | -

Game Design Context and Review - -[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a game design section: - -1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Unity.") - -2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") - -3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: - - The entire section as a whole - - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) - -4. Then present the action list as specified below.]] - -### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List - -[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection.

Expand or Contract for Target Audience - [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] - -1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) - [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] - -2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective - [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] - -3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies - [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] - -5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks - [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective - [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] - -7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches - [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection - [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] - -9. Proceed / No Further Actions - [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current game design work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]] - -## Game Development Context Integration - -This elicitation task is specifically designed for game development and should be used in contexts where: - -- **Game Mechanics Design**: When defining core gameplay systems and player interactions -- **Player Experience Planning**: When designing for specific emotional responses and engagement patterns -- **Technical Game Architecture**: When balancing design ambitions with implementation realities -- **Game Balance and Progression**: When designing difficulty curves and player advancement systems -- **Platform Considerations**: When adapting designs for different devices and input methods - -The questions and perspectives offered should always consider: - -- Player psychology and motivation -- Technical feasibility with Unity and C# -- Performance implications for stable frame rate targets -- Cross-platform compatibility (PC, console, mobile) -- Game development best practices and common pitfalls -==================== END: .bmad-2d-unity-game-dev/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-2d-unity-game-dev/tasks/create-deep-research-prompt.md ==================== - -# Create Deep Research Prompt Task - -This task helps create comprehensive research prompts for various types of deep analysis.

This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase. - -## Task Instructions - -### 1. Initial Project Analysis - -**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. - -**IF PRD EXISTS**: - -- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned -- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected -- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas -- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean - -**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: -Ask the user: - -"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: - -1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. - -2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? - -3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: - - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' - - 'Refactoring the authentication module' - - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' - -4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) - -Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." - -Based on their response: - -- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation -- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below - -Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: - -1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization -2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies -3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands -4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation -5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches - -Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: - -- What is the primary purpose of this project? -- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? -- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) -- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? -- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) -- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) - -### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis - -CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: - -1. **Explore Key Areas**: - - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) - - Configuration files and environment setup - - Package dependencies and versions - - Build and deployment configurations - - Test suites and coverage - -2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: - - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" - - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" - - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" - - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" - - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" - -3. **Map the Reality**: - - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) - - Find where key business logic lives - - Locate integration points and external dependencies - - Document workarounds and technical debt - - Note areas that differ from standard patterns - -**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement - -### 3. Core Documentation Generation - -[[LLM: Generate a comprehensive BROWNFIELD architecture document that reflects the ACTUAL state of the codebase. - -**CRITICAL**: This is NOT an aspirational architecture document.

-## Advanced Engagement Strategies - -**Energy Management** - -- Check engagement levels: "How are you feeling about this direction?" -- Offer breaks or technique switches if energy flags -- Use encouraging language and celebrate idea generation - -**Depth vs. Breadth** - -- Ask follow-up questions to deepen ideas: "Tell me more about that..." -- Use "Yes, and..." to build on their ideas -- Help them make connections: "How does this relate to your earlier idea about...?" - -**Transition Management** - -- Always ask before switching techniques: "Ready to try a different approach?" -- Offer options: "Should we explore this idea deeper or generate more alternatives?" -- Respect their process and timing -==================== END: .bmad-2d-unity-game-dev/tasks/facilitate-brainstorming-session.md ==================== -

Each epic should have a title and a short (1 sentence) goal statement. This allows the user to review the overall structure before diving into details. - - CRITICAL: Epics MUST be logically sequential following agile best practices: - - - Each epic should be focused on a single phase and it's design from the development-phases section and deliver a significant, end-to-end, fully deployable increment of testable functionality - - Epic 1 must establish Phase 1: Unity Foundation & Core Systems (Project setup, input handling, basic scene management) unless we are adding new functionality to an existing app, while also delivering an initial piece of functionality, remember this when we produce the stories for the first epic! - - Each subsequent epic builds upon previous epics' functionality delivering major blocks of functionality that provide tangible value to users or business when deployed - - Not every project needs multiple epics, an epic needs to deliver value. For example, an API, component, or scriptableobject completed can deliver value even if a scene, or gameobject is not complete and planned for a separate epic. - - Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things. - - Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories.

These guidelines ensure consistency, performance, and maintainability across all game development stories. - -## C# Standards - -### Naming Conventions - -**Classes, Structs, Enums, and Interfaces:** - -- PascalCase for types: `PlayerController`, `GameData`, `IInteractable` -- Prefix interfaces with 'I': `IDamageable`, `IControllable` -- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `GameStateManager` not `GSM` - -**Methods and Properties:** - -- PascalCase for methods and properties: `CalculateScore()`, `CurrentHealth` -- Descriptive verb phrases for methods: `ActivateShield()` not `shield()` - -**Fields and Variables:** - -- `private` or `protected` fields: camelCase with an underscore prefix: `_playerHealth`, `_movementSpeed` -- `public` fields (use sparingly, prefer properties): PascalCase: `PlayerName` -- `static` fields: PascalCase: `Instance`, `GameVersion` -- `const` fields: PascalCase: `MaxHitPoints` -- `local` variables: camelCase: `damageAmount`, `isJumping` -- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `_isAlive`, `_hasKey`, `_canJump` - -**Files and Directories:** - -- PascalCase for C# script files, matching the primary class name: `PlayerController.cs` -- PascalCase for Scene files: `MainMenu.unity`, `Level01.unity` - -### Style and Formatting - -- **Braces**: Use Allman style (braces on a new line). -- **Spacing**: Use 4 spaces for indentation (no tabs). -- **`using` directives**: Place all `using` directives at the top of the file, outside the namespace. -- **`this` keyword**: Only use `this` when necessary to distinguish between a field and a local variable/parameter. - -## Unity Architecture Patterns - -### Scene Lifecycle Management - -**Loading and Transitioning Between Scenes:** - -```csharp -// SceneLoader.cs - A singleton for managing scene transitions. -using UnityEngine; -using UnityEngine.SceneManagement; -using System.Collections; - -public class SceneLoader : MonoBehaviour -{ - public static SceneLoader Instance { get; private set; } - - private void Awake() - { - if (Instance != null && Instance != this) - { - Destroy(gameObject); - return; - } - Instance = this; - DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); - } - - public void LoadGameScene() - { - // Example of loading the main game scene, perhaps with a loading screen first. - StartCoroutine(LoadSceneAsync("Level01")); - } - - private IEnumerator LoadSceneAsync(string sceneName) - { - // Load a loading screen first (optional) - SceneManager.LoadScene("LoadingScreen"); - - // Wait a frame for the loading screen to appear - yield return null; - - // Begin loading the target scene in the background - AsyncOperation asyncLoad = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(sceneName); - - // Don't activate the scene until it's fully loaded - asyncLoad.allowSceneActivation = false; - - // Wait until the asynchronous scene fully loads - while (!asyncLoad.isDone) - { - // Here you could update a progress bar with asyncLoad.progress - if (asyncLoad.progress >= 0.9f) - { - // Scene is loaded, allow activation - asyncLoad.allowSceneActivation = true; - } - yield return null; - } - } -} -``` - -### MonoBehaviour Lifecycle - -**Understanding Core MonoBehaviour Events:** - -```csharp -// Example of a standard MonoBehaviour lifecycle -using UnityEngine; - -public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour -{ - // AWAKE: Called when the script instance is being loaded. - // Use for initialization before the game starts. Good for caching component references. - private void Awake() - { - Debug.Log("PlayerController Awake!"); - } - - // ONENABLE: Called when the object becomes enabled and active. - // Good for subscribing to events. - private void OnEnable() - { - // Example: UIManager.OnGamePaused += HandleGamePaused; - } - - // START: Called on the frame when a script is enabled just before any of the Update methods are called the first time. - // Good for logic that depends on other objects being initialized. - private void Start() - { - Debug.Log("PlayerController Start!"); - } - - // FIXEDUPDATE: Called every fixed framerate frame. - // Use for physics calculations (e.g., applying forces to a Rigidbody). - private void FixedUpdate() - { - // Handle Rigidbody movement here. - } - - // UPDATE: Called every frame. - // Use for most game logic, like handling input and non-physics movement. - private void Update() - { - // Handle input and non-physics movement here. - } - - // LATEUPDATE: Called every frame, after all Update functions have been called. - // Good for camera logic that needs to track a target that moves in Update. - private void LateUpdate() - { - // Camera follow logic here. - } - - // ONDISABLE: Called when the behaviour becomes disabled or inactive. - // Good for unsubscribing from events to prevent memory leaks. - private void OnDisable() - { - // Example: UIManager.OnGamePaused -= HandleGamePaused; - } - - // ONDESTROY: Called when the MonoBehaviour will be destroyed. - // Good for any final cleanup. - private void OnDestroy() - { - Debug.Log("PlayerController Destroyed!"); - } -} -``` - -### Game Object Patterns - -**Component-Based Architecture:** - -```csharp -// Player.cs - The main GameObject class, acts as a container for components. -using UnityEngine; - -[RequireComponent(typeof(PlayerMovement), typeof(PlayerHealth))] -public class Player : MonoBehaviour -{ - public PlayerMovement Movement { get; private set; } - public PlayerHealth Health { get; private set; } - - private void Awake() - { - Movement = GetComponent(); - Health = GetComponent(); - } -} - -// PlayerHealth.cs - A component responsible only for health logic. -public class PlayerHealth : MonoBehaviour -{ - [SerializeField] private int _maxHealth = 100; - private int _currentHealth; - - private void Awake() - { - _currentHealth = _maxHealth; - } - - public void TakeDamage(int amount) - { - _currentHealth -= amount; - if (_currentHealth <= 0) - { - Die(); - } - } - - private void Die() - { - // Death logic - Debug.Log("Player has died."); - gameObject.SetActive(false); - } -} -``` - -### Data-Driven Design with ScriptableObjects - -**Define Data Containers:** - -```csharp -// EnemyData.cs - A ScriptableObject to hold data for an enemy type. -using UnityEngine; - -[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "NewEnemyData", menuName = "Game/Enemy Data")] -public class EnemyData : ScriptableObject -{ - public string enemyName; - public int maxHealth; - public float moveSpeed; - public int damage; - public Sprite sprite; -} - -// Enemy.cs - A MonoBehaviour that uses the EnemyData. -public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour -{ - [SerializeField] private EnemyData _enemyData; - private int _currentHealth; - - private void Start() - { - _currentHealth = _enemyData.maxHealth; - GetComponent().sprite = _enemyData.sprite; - } - - // ... other enemy logic -} -``` - -### System Management - -**Singleton Managers:** - -```csharp -// GameManager.cs - A singleton to manage the overall game state. -using UnityEngine; - -public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour -{ - public static GameManager Instance { get; private set; } - - public int Score { get; private set; } - - private void Awake() - { - if (Instance != null && Instance != this) - { - Destroy(gameObject); - return; - } - Instance = this; - DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); // Persist across scenes - } - - public void AddScore(int amount) - { - Score += amount; - } -} -``` - -## Performance Optimization - -### Object Pooling - -**Required for High-Frequency Objects (e.g., bullets, effects):** - -```csharp -// ObjectPool.cs - A generic object pooling system. -using UnityEngine; -using System.Collections.Generic; - -public class ObjectPool : MonoBehaviour -{ - [SerializeField] private GameObject _prefabToPool; - [SerializeField] private int _initialPoolSize = 20; - - private Queue _pool = new Queue(); - - private void Start() - { - for (int i = 0; i < _initialPoolSize; i++) - { - GameObject obj = Instantiate(_prefabToPool); - obj.SetActive(false); - _pool.Enqueue(obj); - } - } - - public GameObject GetObjectFromPool() - { - if (_pool.Count > 0) - { - GameObject obj = _pool.Dequeue(); - obj.SetActive(true); - return obj; - } - // Optionally, expand the pool if it's empty. - return Instantiate(_prefabToPool); - } - - public void ReturnObjectToPool(GameObject obj) - { - obj.SetActive(false); - _pool.Enqueue(obj); - } -} -``` - -### Frame Rate Optimization - -**Update Loop Optimization:** - -- Avoid expensive calls like `GetComponent`, `FindObjectOfType`, or `Instantiate` inside `Update()` or `FixedUpdate()`. Cache references in `Awake()` or `Start()`. -- Use Coroutines or simple timers for logic that doesn't need to run every single frame. - -**Physics Optimization:** - -- Adjust the "Physics 2D Settings" in Project Settings, especially the "Layer Collision Matrix", to prevent unnecessary collision checks. -- Use `Rigidbody2D.Sleep()` for objects that are not moving to save CPU cycles. - -## Input Handling - -### Cross-Platform Input (New Input System) - -**Input Action Asset:** Create an Input Action Asset (`.inputactions`) to define controls. - -**PlayerInput Component:** - -- Add the `PlayerInput` component to the player GameObject. -- Set its "Actions" to the created Input Action Asset. -- Set "Behavior" to "Invoke Unity Events" to easily hook up methods in the Inspector, or "Send Messages" to use methods like `OnMove`, `OnFire`. - -```csharp -// PlayerInputHandler.cs - Example of handling input via messages. -using UnityEngine; -using UnityEngine.InputSystem; - -public class PlayerInputHandler : MonoBehaviour -{ - private Vector2 _moveInput; - - // This method is called by the PlayerInput component via "Send Messages". - // The action must be named "Move" in the Input Action Asset. - public void OnMove(InputValue value) - { - _moveInput = value.Get(); - } - - private void Update() - { - // Use _moveInput to control the player - transform.Translate(new Vector3(_moveInput.x, _moveInput.y, 0) * Time.deltaTime * 5f); - } -} -``` - -## Error Handling - -### Graceful Degradation - -**Asset Loading Error Handling:** - -- When using Addressables or `Resources.Load`, always check if the loaded asset is null before using it. - -```csharp -// Load a sprite and use a fallback if it fails -Sprite playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Player"); -if (playerSprite == null) -{ - Debug.LogError("Player sprite not found! Using default."); - playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Default"); -} -``` - -### Runtime Error Recovery - -**Assertions and Logging:** - -- Use `Debug.Assert(condition, "Message")` to check for critical conditions that must be true. -- Use `Debug.LogError("Message")` for fatal errors and `Debug.LogWarning("Message")` for non-critical issues. - -```csharp -// Example of using an assertion to ensure a component exists. -private Rigidbody2D _rb; - -void Awake() -{ - _rb = GetComponent(); - Debug.Assert(_rb != null, "Rigidbody2D component not found on player!"); -} -``` - -## Testing Standards - -### Unit Testing (Edit Mode) - -**Game Logic Testing:** - -```csharp -// HealthSystemTests.cs - Example test for a simple health system. -using NUnit.Framework; -using UnityEngine; - -public class HealthSystemTests -{ - [Test] - public void TakeDamage_ReducesHealth() - { - // Arrange - var gameObject = new GameObject(); - var healthSystem = gameObject.AddComponent(); - // Note: This is a simplified example. You might need to mock dependencies. - - // Act - healthSystem.TakeDamage(20); - - // Assert - // This requires making health accessible for testing, e.g., via a public property or method. - // Assert.AreEqual(80, healthSystem.CurrentHealth); - } -} -``` - -### Integration Testing (Play Mode) - -**Scene Testing:** - -- Play Mode tests run in a live scene, allowing you to test interactions between multiple components and systems. -- Use `yield return null;` to wait for the next frame. - -```csharp -// PlayerJumpTest.cs -using System.Collections; -using NUnit.Framework; -using UnityEngine; -using UnityEngine.TestTools; - -public class PlayerJumpTest -{ - [UnityTest] - public IEnumerator PlayerJumps_WhenSpaceIsPressed() - { - // Arrange - var player = new GameObject().AddComponent(); - var initialY = player.transform.position.y; - - // Act - // Simulate pressing the jump button (requires setting up the input system for tests) - // For simplicity, we'll call a public method here. - // player.Jump(); - - // Wait for a few physics frames - yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f); - - // Assert - Assert.Greater(player.transform.position.y, initialY); - } -} -``` - -## File Organization - -### Project Structure - -``` -Assets/ -ā”œā”€ā”€ Scenes/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ MainMenu.unity -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Level01.unity -ā”œā”€ā”€ Scripts/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Core/ -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ GameManager.cs -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ AudioManager.cs -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Player/ -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ PlayerController.cs -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ PlayerHealth.cs -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Editor/ -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ CustomInspectors.cs -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Data/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ EnemyData.cs -ā”œā”€ā”€ Prefabs/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Player.prefab -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Enemies/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Slime.prefab -ā”œā”€ā”€ Art/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Sprites/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Animations/ -ā”œā”€ā”€ Audio/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Music/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ SFX/ -ā”œā”€ā”€ Data/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ ScriptableObjects/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ EnemyData/ -ā””ā”€ā”€ Tests/ - ā”œā”€ā”€ EditMode/ - ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ HealthSystemTests.cs - ā””ā”€ā”€ PlayMode/ - ā””ā”€ā”€ PlayerJumpTest.cs -``` - -## Development Workflow - -### Story Implementation Process - -1. **Read Story Requirements:** - - Understand acceptance criteria - - Identify technical requirements - - Review performance constraints - -2. **Plan Implementation:** - - Identify files to create/modify - - Consider Unity's component-based architecture - - Plan testing approach - -3. **Implement Feature:** - - Write clean C# code following all guidelines - - Use established patterns - - Maintain stable FPS performance - -4. **Test Implementation:** - - Write edit mode tests for game logic - - Write play mode tests for integration testing - - Test cross-platform functionality - - Validate performance targets - -5. **Update Documentation:** - - Mark story checkboxes complete - - Document any deviations - - Update architecture if needed - -### Code Review Checklist - -- [ ] C# code compiles without errors or warnings. -- [ ] All automated tests pass. -- [ ] Code follows naming conventions and architectural patterns. -- [ ] No expensive operations in `Update()` loops. -- [ ] Public fields/methods are documented with comments. -- [ ] New assets are organized into the correct folders. - -## Performance Targets - -### Frame Rate Requirements - -- **PC/Console**: Maintain a stable 60+ FPS. -- **Mobile**: Maintain 60 FPS on mid-range devices, minimum 30 FPS on low-end. -- **Optimization**: Use the Unity Profiler to identify and fix performance drops. - -### Memory Management - -- **Total Memory**: Keep builds under platform-specific limits (e.g., 200MB for a simple mobile game). -- **Garbage Collection**: Minimize GC spikes by avoiding string concatenation, `new` keyword usage in loops, and by pooling objects. - -### Loading Performance - -- **Initial Load**: Under 5 seconds for game start. -- **Scene Transitions**: Under 2 seconds between scenes.

Each epic should have a title and a short (1 sentence) goal statement.

For example, an API, component, or scriptableobject completed can deliver value even if a scene, or gameobject is not complete and planned for a separate epic. - - Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things. - - Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories.

Game Design Context and Review - -[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a game design section: - -1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Unity.") - -2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") - -3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: - - The entire section as a whole - - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) - -4. Then present the action list as specified below.]] - -### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List - -[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection. If an elicitation action (0-8) is chosen, execute it and then re-offer this combined review/elicitation choice. If option 9 is chosen, or if the user provides direct feedback, proceed accordingly.]] - -**Present the numbered list (0-9) with this exact format:** - -```text -**Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions** -Choose an action (0-9 - 9 to bypass - HELP for explanation of these options): - -0. Expand or Contract for Target Audience -1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) -2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective -3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies -4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals -5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks -6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective -7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches -8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection -9. Proceed / No Further Actions -``` - -### 2. Processing Guidelines - -**Do NOT show:** - -- The full protocol text with `[[LLM: ...]]` instructions -- Detailed explanations of each option unless executing or the user asks, when giving the definition you can modify to tie its game development relevance -- Any internal template markup - -**After user selection from the list:** - -- Execute the chosen action according to the game design protocol instructions below -- Ask if they want to select another action or proceed with option 9 once complete -- Continue until user selects option 9 or indicates completion - -## Game Design Action Definitions - -0. Expand or Contract for Target Audience - [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] - -1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) - [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] - -2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective - [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] - -3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies - [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] - -5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks - [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective - [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] - -7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches - [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection - [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] - -9. Proceed / No Further Actions - [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current game design work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]] - -## Game Development Context Integration - -This elicitation task is specifically designed for game development and should be used in contexts where: - -- **Game Mechanics Design**: When defining core gameplay systems and player interactions -- **Player Experience Planning**: When designing for specific emotional responses and engagement patterns -- **Technical Game Architecture**: When balancing design ambitions with implementation realities -- **Game Balance and Progression**: When designing difficulty curves and player advancement systems -- **Platform Considerations**: When adapting designs for different devices and input methods - -The questions and perspectives offered should always consider: - -- Player psychology and motivation -- Technical feasibility with Unity and C# -- Performance implications for stable frame rate targets -- Cross-platform compatibility (PC, console, mobile) -- Game development best practices and common pitfalls -==================== END: .bmad-2d-unity-game-dev/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-2d-unity-game-dev/tasks/correct-course-game.md ==================== - -# Correct Course Task - Game Development - -## Purpose - -- Guide a structured response to game development change triggers using the `.bmad-2d-unity-game-dev/checklists/game-change-checklist`. -- Analyze the impacts of changes on game features, technical systems, and milestone deliverables. -- Explore game-specific solutions (e.g., performance optimizations, feature scaling, platform adjustments). -- Draft specific, actionable proposed updates to affected game artifacts (e.g., GDD sections, technical specs, Unity configurations). -- Produce a consolidated "Game Development Change Proposal" document for review and approval. -- Ensure clear handoff path for changes requiring fundamental redesign or technical architecture updates. - -## Instructions - -### 1.

Especially Gemini for Game Design!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context for game brainstorming:** - -**For All Game Projects**: - -1. **Game Concept Brainstorming**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Use `*game-design-brainstorming` task -2. **Game Brief**: Create foundation game document using `game-brief-tmpl` -3. **Game Design Document Creation**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Use `game-design-doc-tmpl` for comprehensive game requirements -4. **Game Architecture Design**: `/bmad2du/game-architect` - Use `game-architecture-tmpl` for Unity technical foundation -5. **Level Design Framework**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Use `level-design-doc-tmpl` for level structure planning -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to Unity project as `docs/game-design-doc.md`, `docs/game-brief.md`, `docs/level-design.md` and `docs/game-architecture.md` - -#### Example Game Planning Prompts - -**For Game Design Document Creation**: - -```text -"I want to build a [genre] 2D game that [core gameplay]. -Help me brainstorm mechanics and create a comprehensive Game Design Document." -``` - -**For Game Architecture Design**: - -```text -"Based on this Game Design Document, design a scalable Unity architecture -that can handle [specific game requirements] with stable performance." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to Unity IDE - -**Once game planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for Unity development:** - -- **Why**: Unity development workflow requires C# operations, asset management, and real-time Unity testing -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large game design creation; IDE is optimized for Unity development -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/game-design-doc.md` and `docs/game-architecture.md` exist in your Unity project - -### Unity IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Game planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder of Unity project - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP for Game Development): - - Documents created by Game Designer/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Use core BMad agents or tools to shard: - a) **Manual**: Use core BMad `shard-doc` task if available - b) **Agent**: Ask core `@bmad-master` agent to shard documents - - Shards `docs/game-design-doc.md` ā†’ `docs/game-design/` folder - - Shards `docs/game-architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/game-architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files to Unity is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Game Content**: - - At least one `feature-n.md` file in `docs/game-design/` with game stories in development order - - Unity system documents and coding standards for game dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for Game SM agent story creation - -Resulting Unity Project Folder Structure: - -- `docs/game-design/` - Broken down game design sections -- `docs/game-architecture/` - Broken down Unity architecture sections -- `docs/game-stories/` - Generated game development stories - -3. **Game Development Cycle** (Sequential, one game story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT for Unity Development**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for Game SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between Game SM, Game Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Game Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `/bmad2du/game-sm` ā†’ `*draft` - - Game SM executes create-game-story task using `game-story-tmpl` - - Review generated story in `docs/game-stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Unity Game Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `/bmad2du/game-developer` - - Agent asks which game story to implement - - Include story file content to save game dev agent lookup time - - Game Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Game Dev maintains File List of all Unity/C# changes - - Game Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all Unity tests passing - - **Step 3 - Game QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Use core `@qa` agent ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior Unity developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve Unity code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for game dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue Game SM ā†’ Game Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all game feature stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 game story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all game feature stories complete. - -### Game Story Status Tracking Workflow - -Game stories progress through defined statuses: - -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Game Development Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Game Development - -- Game concept brainstorming and mechanics design -- Game design requirements and feature definition -- Unity system architecture and technical design -- Game development execution -- Game testing, performance optimization, and deployment - -#### Brownfield Game Enhancement (Existing Unity Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield game development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing Unity project for AI agents to understand game mechanics, Unity patterns, and technical constraints. - -**Brownfield Game Enhancement Workflow**: - -Since this expansion pack doesn't include specific brownfield templates, you'll adapt the existing templates: - -1. **Upload Unity project to Web UI** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create adapted Game Design Document**: `/bmad2du/game-designer` - Modify `game-design-doc-tmpl` to include: - - Analysis of existing game systems - - Integration points for new features - - Compatibility requirements - - Risk assessment for changes - -3. **Game Architecture Planning**: - - Use `/bmad2du/game-architect` with `game-architecture-tmpl` - - Focus on how new features integrate with existing Unity systems - - Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -4. **Story Creation for Enhancements**: - - Use `/bmad2du/game-sm` with `*create-game-story` - - Stories should explicitly reference existing code to modify - - Include integration testing requirements - -**When to Use Each Game Development Approach**: - -**Full Game Enhancement Workflow** (Recommended for): - -- Major game feature additions -- Game system modernization -- Complex Unity integrations -- Multiple related gameplay changes - -**Quick Story Creation** (Use when): - -- Single, focused game enhancement -- Isolated gameplay fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing Unity game - -**Critical Success Factors for Game Development**: - -1. **Game Documentation First**: Always document existing code thoroughly before making changes -2. **Unity Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant Unity scripts and game systems -3. **Gameplay Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes to game mechanics -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and extensive game testing -

These guidelines ensure consistency, performance, and maintainability across all game development stories. - -## C# Standards - -### Naming Conventions - -**Classes, Structs, Enums, and Interfaces:** - -- PascalCase for types: `PlayerController`, `GameData`, `IInteractable` -- Prefix interfaces with 'I': `IDamageable`, `IControllable` -- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `GameStateManager` not `GSM` - -**Methods and Properties:** - -- PascalCase for methods and properties: `CalculateScore()`, `CurrentHealth` -- Descriptive verb phrases for methods: `ActivateShield()` not `shield()` - -**Fields and Variables:** - -- `private` or `protected` fields: camelCase with an underscore prefix: `_playerHealth`, `_movementSpeed` -- `public` fields (use sparingly, prefer properties): PascalCase: `PlayerName` -- `static` fields: PascalCase: `Instance`, `GameVersion` -- `const` fields: PascalCase: `MaxHitPoints` -- `local` variables: camelCase: `damageAmount`, `isJumping` -- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `_isAlive`, `_hasKey`, `_canJump` - -**Files and Directories:** - -- PascalCase for C# script files, matching the primary class name: `PlayerController.cs` -- PascalCase for Scene files: `MainMenu.unity`, `Level01.unity` - -### Style and Formatting - -- **Braces**: Use Allman style (braces on a new line). -- **Spacing**: Use 4 spaces for indentation (no tabs). -- **`using` directives**: Place all `using` directives at the top of the file, outside the namespace. -- **`this` keyword**: Only use `this` when necessary to distinguish between a field and a local variable/parameter. - -## Unity Architecture Patterns - -### Scene Lifecycle Management - -**Loading and Transitioning Between Scenes:** - -```csharp -// SceneLoader.cs - A singleton for managing scene transitions. -using UnityEngine; -using UnityEngine.SceneManagement; -using System.Collections; - -public class SceneLoader : MonoBehaviour -{ - public static SceneLoader Instance { get; private set; } - - private void Awake() - { - if (Instance != null && Instance != this) - { - Destroy(gameObject); - return; - } - Instance = this; - DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); - } - - public void LoadGameScene() - { - // Example of loading the main game scene, perhaps with a loading screen first. - StartCoroutine(LoadSceneAsync("Level01")); - } - - private IEnumerator LoadSceneAsync(string sceneName) - { - // Load a loading screen first (optional) - SceneManager.LoadScene("LoadingScreen"); - - // Wait a frame for the loading screen to appear - yield return null; - - // Begin loading the target scene in the background - AsyncOperation asyncLoad = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(sceneName); - - // Don't activate the scene until it's fully loaded - asyncLoad.allowSceneActivation = false; - - // Wait until the asynchronous scene fully loads - while (!asyncLoad.isDone) - { - // Here you could update a progress bar with asyncLoad.progress - if (asyncLoad.progress >= 0.9f) - { - // Scene is loaded, allow activation - asyncLoad.allowSceneActivation = true; - } - yield return null; - } - } -} -``` - -### MonoBehaviour Lifecycle - -**Understanding Core MonoBehaviour Events:** - -```csharp -// Example of a standard MonoBehaviour lifecycle -using UnityEngine; - -public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour -{ - // AWAKE: Called when the script instance is being loaded. - // Use for initialization before the game starts. Good for caching component references. - private void Awake() - { - Debug.Log("PlayerController Awake!"); - } - - // ONENABLE: Called when the object becomes enabled and active. - // Good for subscribing to events. - private void OnEnable() - { - // Example: UIManager.OnGamePaused += HandleGamePaused; - } - - // START: Called on the frame when a script is enabled just before any of the Update methods are called the first time. - // Good for logic that depends on other objects being initialized. - private void Start() - { - Debug.Log("PlayerController Start!"); - } - - // FIXEDUPDATE: Called every fixed framerate frame. - // Use for physics calculations (e.g., applying forces to a Rigidbody). - private void FixedUpdate() - { - // Handle Rigidbody movement here. - } - - // UPDATE: Called every frame. - // Use for most game logic, like handling input and non-physics movement. - private void Update() - { - // Handle input and non-physics movement here. - } - - // LATEUPDATE: Called every frame, after all Update functions have been called. - // Good for camera logic that needs to track a target that moves in Update. - private void LateUpdate() - { - // Camera follow logic here. - } - - // ONDISABLE: Called when the behaviour becomes disabled or inactive. - // Good for unsubscribing from events to prevent memory leaks. - private void OnDisable() - { - // Example: UIManager.OnGamePaused -= HandleGamePaused; - } - - // ONDESTROY: Called when the MonoBehaviour will be destroyed. - // Good for any final cleanup. - private void OnDestroy() - { - Debug.Log("PlayerController Destroyed!"); - } -} -``` - -### Game Object Patterns - -**Component-Based Architecture:** - -```csharp -// Player.cs - The main GameObject class, acts as a container for components. -using UnityEngine; - -[RequireComponent(typeof(PlayerMovement), typeof(PlayerHealth))] -public class Player : MonoBehaviour -{ - public PlayerMovement Movement { get; private set; } - public PlayerHealth Health { get; private set; } - - private void Awake() - { - Movement = GetComponent(); - Health = GetComponent(); - } -} - -// PlayerHealth.cs - A component responsible only for health logic. -public class PlayerHealth : MonoBehaviour -{ - [SerializeField] private int _maxHealth = 100; - private int _currentHealth; - - private void Awake() - { - _currentHealth = _maxHealth; - } - - public void TakeDamage(int amount) - { - _currentHealth -= amount; - if (_currentHealth <= 0) - { - Die(); - } - } - - private void Die() - { - // Death logic - Debug.Log("Player has died."); - gameObject.SetActive(false); - } -} -``` - -### Data-Driven Design with ScriptableObjects - -**Define Data Containers:** - -```csharp -// EnemyData.cs - A ScriptableObject to hold data for an enemy type. -using UnityEngine; - -[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "NewEnemyData", menuName = "Game/Enemy Data")] -public class EnemyData : ScriptableObject -{ - public string enemyName; - public int maxHealth; - public float moveSpeed; - public int damage; - public Sprite sprite; -} - -// Enemy.cs - A MonoBehaviour that uses the EnemyData. -public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour -{ - [SerializeField] private EnemyData _enemyData; - private int _currentHealth; - - private void Start() - { - _currentHealth = _enemyData.maxHealth; - GetComponent().sprite = _enemyData.sprite; - } - - // ... other enemy logic -} -``` - -### System Management - -**Singleton Managers:** - -```csharp -// GameManager.cs - A singleton to manage the overall game state. -using UnityEngine; - -public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour -{ - public static GameManager Instance { get; private set; } - - public int Score { get; private set; } - - private void Awake() - { - if (Instance != null && Instance != this) - { - Destroy(gameObject); - return; - } - Instance = this; - DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject); // Persist across scenes - } - - public void AddScore(int amount) - { - Score += amount; - } -} -``` - -## Performance Optimization - -### Object Pooling - -**Required for High-Frequency Objects (e.g., bullets, effects):** - -```csharp -// ObjectPool.cs - A generic object pooling system. -using UnityEngine; -using System.Collections.Generic; - -public class ObjectPool : MonoBehaviour -{ - [SerializeField] private GameObject _prefabToPool; - [SerializeField] private int _initialPoolSize = 20; - - private Queue _pool = new Queue(); - - private void Start() - { - for (int i = 0; i < _initialPoolSize; i++) - { - GameObject obj = Instantiate(_prefabToPool); - obj.SetActive(false); - _pool.Enqueue(obj); - } - } - - public GameObject GetObjectFromPool() - { - if (_pool.Count > 0) - { - GameObject obj = _pool.Dequeue(); - obj.SetActive(true); - return obj; - } - // Optionally, expand the pool if it's empty. - return Instantiate(_prefabToPool); - } - - public void ReturnObjectToPool(GameObject obj) - { - obj.SetActive(false); - _pool.Enqueue(obj); - } -} -``` - -### Frame Rate Optimization - -**Update Loop Optimization:** - -- Avoid expensive calls like `GetComponent`, `FindObjectOfType`, or `Instantiate` inside `Update()` or `FixedUpdate()`. Cache references in `Awake()` or `Start()`. -- Use Coroutines or simple timers for logic that doesn't need to run every single frame. - -**Physics Optimization:** - -- Adjust the "Physics 2D Settings" in Project Settings, especially the "Layer Collision Matrix", to prevent unnecessary collision checks. -- Use `Rigidbody2D.Sleep()` for objects that are not moving to save CPU cycles. - -## Input Handling - -### Cross-Platform Input (New Input System) - -**Input Action Asset:** Create an Input Action Asset (`.inputactions`) to define controls. - -**PlayerInput Component:** - -- Add the `PlayerInput` component to the player GameObject. -- Set its "Actions" to the created Input Action Asset. -- Set "Behavior" to "Invoke Unity Events" to easily hook up methods in the Inspector, or "Send Messages" to use methods like `OnMove`, `OnFire`. - -```csharp -// PlayerInputHandler.cs - Example of handling input via messages. -using UnityEngine; -using UnityEngine.InputSystem; - -public class PlayerInputHandler : MonoBehaviour -{ - private Vector2 _moveInput; - - // This method is called by the PlayerInput component via "Send Messages". - // The action must be named "Move" in the Input Action Asset. - public void OnMove(InputValue value) - { - _moveInput = value.Get(); - } - - private void Update() - { - // Use _moveInput to control the player - transform.Translate(new Vector3(_moveInput.x, _moveInput.y, 0) * Time.deltaTime * 5f); - } -} -``` - -## Error Handling - -### Graceful Degradation - -**Asset Loading Error Handling:** - -- When using Addressables or `Resources.Load`, always check if the loaded asset is null before using it. - -```csharp -// Load a sprite and use a fallback if it fails -Sprite playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Player"); -if (playerSprite == null) -{ - Debug.LogError("Player sprite not found! Using default."); - playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Default"); -} -``` - -### Runtime Error Recovery - -**Assertions and Logging:** - -- Use `Debug.Assert(condition, "Message")` to check for critical conditions that must be true. -- Use `Debug.LogError("Message")` for fatal errors and `Debug.LogWarning("Message")` for non-critical issues. - -```csharp -// Example of using an assertion to ensure a component exists. -private Rigidbody2D _rb; - -void Awake() -{ - _rb = GetComponent(); - Debug.Assert(_rb != null, "Rigidbody2D component not found on player!"); -} -``` - -## Testing Standards - -### Unit Testing (Edit Mode) - -**Game Logic Testing:** - -```csharp -// HealthSystemTests.cs - Example test for a simple health system. -using NUnit.Framework; -using UnityEngine; - -public class HealthSystemTests -{ - [Test] - public void TakeDamage_ReducesHealth() - { - // Arrange - var gameObject = new GameObject(); - var healthSystem = gameObject.AddComponent(); - // Note: This is a simplified example. You might need to mock dependencies. - - // Act - healthSystem.TakeDamage(20); - - // Assert - // This requires making health accessible for testing, e.g., via a public property or method. - // Assert.AreEqual(80, healthSystem.CurrentHealth); - } -} -``` - -### Integration Testing (Play Mode) - -**Scene Testing:** - -- Play Mode tests run in a live scene, allowing you to test interactions between multiple components and systems. -- Use `yield return null;` to wait for the next frame. - -```csharp -// PlayerJumpTest.cs -using System.Collections; -using NUnit.Framework; -using UnityEngine; -using UnityEngine.TestTools; - -public class PlayerJumpTest -{ - [UnityTest] - public IEnumerator PlayerJumps_WhenSpaceIsPressed() - { - // Arrange - var player = new GameObject().AddComponent(); - var initialY = player.transform.position.y; - - // Act - // Simulate pressing the jump button (requires setting up the input system for tests) - // For simplicity, we'll call a public method here. - // player.Jump(); - - // Wait for a few physics frames - yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f); - - // Assert - Assert.Greater(player.transform.position.y, initialY); - } -} -``` - -## File Organization - -### Project Structure - -``` -Assets/ -ā”œā”€ā”€ Scenes/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ MainMenu.unity -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Level01.unity -ā”œā”€ā”€ Scripts/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Core/ -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ GameManager.cs -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ AudioManager.cs -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Player/ -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ PlayerController.cs -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ PlayerHealth.cs -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Editor/ -ā”‚ ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ CustomInspectors.cs -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Data/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ EnemyData.cs -ā”œā”€ā”€ Prefabs/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Player.prefab -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Enemies/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Slime.prefab -ā”œā”€ā”€ Art/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Sprites/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ Animations/ -ā”œā”€ā”€ Audio/ -ā”‚ ā”œā”€ā”€ Music/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ SFX/ -ā”œā”€ā”€ Data/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ ScriptableObjects/ -ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ EnemyData/ -ā””ā”€ā”€ Tests/ - ā”œā”€ā”€ EditMode/ - ā”‚ ā””ā”€ā”€ HealthSystemTests.cs - ā””ā”€ā”€ PlayMode/ - ā””ā”€ā”€ PlayerJumpTest.cs -``` - -## Development Workflow - -### Story Implementation Process - -1. **Read Story Requirements:** - - Understand acceptance criteria - - Identify technical requirements - - Review performance constraints - -2. **Plan Implementation:** - - Identify files to create/modify - - Consider Unity's component-based architecture - - Plan testing approach - -3. **Implement Feature:** - - Write clean C# code following all guidelines - - Use established patterns - - Maintain stable FPS performance - -4. **Test Implementation:** - - Write edit mode tests for game logic - - Write play mode tests for integration testing - - Test cross-platform functionality - - Validate performance targets - -5. **Update Documentation:** - - Mark story checkboxes complete - - Document any deviations - - Update architecture if needed - -### Code Review Checklist - -- [ ] C# code compiles without errors or warnings. -- [ ] All automated tests pass. -- [ ] Code follows naming conventions and architectural patterns. -- [ ] No expensive operations in `Update()` loops. -- [ ] Public fields/methods are documented with comments. -- [ ] New assets are organized into the correct folders. - -## Performance Targets - -### Frame Rate Requirements - -- **PC/Console**: Maintain a stable 60+ FPS. -- **Mobile**: Maintain 60 FPS on mid-range devices, minimum 30 FPS on low-end. -- **Optimization**: Use the Unity Profiler to identify and fix performance drops. - -### Memory Management - -- **Total Memory**: Keep builds under platform-specific limits (e.g., 200MB for a simple mobile game). -- **Garbage Collection**: Minimize GC spikes by avoiding string concatenation, `new` keyword usage in loops, and by pooling objects. - -### Loading Performance - -- **Initial Load**: Under 5 seconds for game start. -- **Scene Transitions**: Under 2 seconds between scenes.

Especially Gemini for Game Design!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context for game brainstorming:** - -**For All Game Projects**: - -1. **Game Concept Brainstorming**: `/bmadg/game-designer` - Use `*game-design-brainstorming` task -2. **Game Brief**: Create foundation game document using `game-brief-tmpl` -3. **Game Design Document Creation**: `/bmadg/game-designer` - Use `game-design-doc-tmpl` for comprehensive game requirements -4. **Game Architecture Design**: `/bmadg/game-architect` - Use `game-architecture-tmpl` for Godot technical foundation -5. **Level Design Framework**: `/bmadg/game-designer` - Use `level-design-doc-tmpl` for level structure planning -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to Godot project as `docs/game-design-doc.md`, `docs/game-brief.md`, `docs/level-design.md` and `docs/architecture.md` - -#### Example Game Planning Prompts - -**For Game Design Document Creation**: - -```text -"I want to build a [genre] 2D game in Godot that [core gameplay]. -Help me brainstorm mechanics and create a comprehensive Game Design Document." -``` - -**For Game Architecture Design**: - -```text -"Based on this Game Design Document, design a scalable Godot architecture -that can handle [specific game requirements] with 60+ FPS performance. -Consider both GDScript and C# for appropriate systems." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to Godot IDE - -**Once game planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for Godot development:** - -- **Why**: Godot development workflow requires scene operations, GDScript/C# coding, and real-time testing -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large game design creation; IDE is optimized for Godot development -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/game-design-doc.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your Godot project - -### Godot IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Game planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder of Godot project - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP for Game Development): - - Documents created by Game Designer/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Use core BMad agents or tools to shard: - a) **Manual**: Use core BMad `shard-doc` task if available - b) **Agent**: Ask core `@bmad-master` agent to shard documents - - Shards `docs/game-design-doc.md` ā†’ `docs/game-design/` folder - - Shards `docs/architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files to Godot is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Game Content**: - - At least one `feature-n.md` file in `docs/game-design/` with game stories in development order - - Godot system documents and coding standards for game dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for Game SM agent story creation - -Resulting Godot Project Folder Structure: - -- `docs/game-design/` - Broken down game design sections -- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down Godot architecture sections -- `docs/game-stories/` - Generated game development stories - -3. **Game Development Cycle** (Sequential, one game story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT for Godot Development**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for Game SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between Game SM, Game Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Game Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `/bmadgd/game-sm` ā†’ `*draft` - - Game SM executes create-game-story task using `game-story-tmpl` - - Review generated story in `docs/game-stories/` - - _Optional_ - Use `/bmadg/game-po` -> `*validate-story-draft (story)` to confirm alignment - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Godot Game Story Implementation (TDD)**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `/bmadg/game-developer` - - Agent asks which game story to implement - - Include story file content to save game dev agent lookup time - - **CRITICAL**: Game Dev writes tests FIRST (GUT/GoDotTest) - - Game Dev implements to make tests pass - - Game Dev maintains File List of all Godot/GDScript/C# changes - - Game Dev validates 60+ FPS performance - - Game Dev marks story as "Ready for Review" when complete with all tests passing - - **Step 3 - Game QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `/bmadg/game-qa` ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA enforces TDD compliance (tests written first) - - QA validates 60+ FPS performance - - QA can refactor and improve Godot code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for game dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue Game SM ā†’ Game Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all game feature stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 game story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all game feature stories complete. - -### Game Story Status Tracking Workflow - -Game stories progress through defined statuses: - -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Ready for Review** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Game Development Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Game Development - -- Game concept brainstorming and mechanics design -- Game design requirements and feature definition -- Godot system architecture and technical design -- Game development execution with TDD -- Game testing, performance optimization (60+ FPS), and deployment - -#### Brownfield Game Enhancement (Existing Godot Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield game development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing Godot project for AI agents to understand game mechanics, node patterns, and technical constraints. - -**Brownfield Game Enhancement Workflow**: - -1. **Upload Godot project to Web UI** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create adapted Game Design Document**: `/bmadg/game-designer` - Modify `game-design-doc-tmpl` to include: - - Analysis of existing scene structure - - Integration points for new features - - Save game compatibility requirements - - Risk assessment for changes - -3. **Game Architecture Planning**: - - Use `/bmadg/game-architect` with `game-architecture-tmpl` - - Focus on how new features integrate with existing Godot systems - - Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -4. **Story Creation for Enhancements**: - - Use `/bmadg/game-sm` with `*create-game-story` - - Stories should explicitly reference existing scenes/scripts to modify - - Include integration testing requirements - -**Critical Success Factors for Game Development**: - -1. **Game Documentation First**: Always document existing code thoroughly before making changes -2. **Godot Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant scenes and scripts -3. **Gameplay Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes to game mechanics -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and extensive game testing -5. **Performance Validation**: Every change must maintain 60+ FPS - -## Document Creation Best Practices for Game Development - -### Required File Naming for Game Framework Integration - -- `docs/game-design-doc.md` - Game Design Document -- `docs/architecture.md` - Godot System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter for Game Development**: - -- Game agents automatically reference these files during Godot development -- Game sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Game workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Game Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Game Documents (Game Design Document, Game Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create game documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your Godot project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/game-design-doc.md` and `docs/architecture.md` -4. **Switch to Godot IDE**: Use IDE agents for Godot development and smaller game documents - -### Game Document Sharding - -Game templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original Game Design Document**: - -```markdown -## Core Gameplay Mechanics - -## Player Progression System - -## Level Design Framework - -## Technical Requirements -``` - -**After Sharding**: - -- `docs/game-design/core-gameplay-mechanics.md` -- `docs/game-design/player-progression-system.md` -- `docs/game-design/level-design-framework.md` -- `docs/game-design/technical-requirements.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic game document sharding. - -## Game Agent System - -### Core Game Development Team - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ---------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- | -| `game-designer` | Game Designer | Game mechanics, creative design, GDD | Game concept, mechanics, creative direction | -| `game-developer` | Godot Developer | GDScript/C# implementation, TDD, optimization | All Godot development tasks (tests first!) | -| `game-sm` | Game Scrum Master | Game story creation, sprint planning | Game project management, workflow | -| `game-architect` | Game Architect | Godot system design, performance architecture | Complex Godot systems, 60+ FPS planning | -| `game-qa` | Game QA & TDD Enforcer | TDD enforcement, performance validation, testing | Code review, test verification, optimization | -

Game Design Context and Review - -[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a game design section: - -1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Unity.") - -2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") - -3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: - - The entire section as a whole - - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) - -4. Then present the action list as specified below.]] - -### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List - -[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection. If an elicitation action (0-8) is chosen, execute it and then re-offer this combined review/elicitation choice. If option 9 is chosen, or if the user provides direct feedback, proceed accordingly.]] - -**Present the numbered list (0-9) with this exact format:** - -```text -**Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions** -Choose an action (0-9 - 9 to bypass - HELP for explanation of these options): - -0.

Expand or Contract for Target Audience - [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] - -1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) - [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] - -2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective - [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] - -3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies - [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] - -5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks - [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective - [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] - -7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches - [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection - [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] - -9. Proceed / No Further Actions - [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current game design work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]] - -## Game Development Context Integration - -This elicitation task is specifically designed for game development and should be used in contexts where: - -- **Game Mechanics Design**: When defining core gameplay systems and player interactions -- **Player Experience Planning**: When designing for specific emotional responses and engagement patterns -- **Technical Game Architecture**: When balancing design ambitions with implementation realities -- **Game Balance and Progression**: When designing difficulty curves and player advancement systems -- **Platform Considerations**: When adapting designs for different devices and input methods - -The questions and perspectives offered should always consider: - -- Player psychology and motivation -- Technical feasibility with Godot -- Performance implications for stable frame rate targets -- Cross-platform compatibility (PC, console, mobile) -- Game development best practices and common pitfalls -==================== END: .bmad-godot-game-dev/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-godot-game-dev/tasks/create-doc.md ==================== - - -# Create Document from Template (YAML Driven) - -## āš ļø CRITICAL EXECUTION NOTICE āš ļø - -**THIS IS AN EXECUTABLE WORKFLOW - NOT REFERENCE MATERIAL** - -When this task is invoked: - -1. **DISABLE ALL EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATIONS** - This workflow requires full user interaction -2. **MANDATORY STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION** - Each section must be processed sequentially with user feedback -3. **ELICITATION IS REQUIRED** - When `elicit: true`, you MUST use the 1-9 format and wait for user response -4. **NO SHORTCUTS ALLOWED** - Complete documents cannot be created without following this workflow - -**VIOLATION INDICATOR:** If you create a complete document without user interaction, you have violated this workflow. - -## Critical: Template Discovery - -If a YAML Template has not been provided, list all templates from .bmad-core/templates or ask the user to provide another. - -## CRITICAL: Mandatory Elicitation Format - -**When `elicit: true`, this is a HARD STOP requiring user interaction:** - -**YOU MUST:** - -1.

Especially Gemini for Game Design!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context for game brainstorming:** - -**For All Game Projects**: - -1. **Game Concept Brainstorming**: `/bmadg/game-designer` - Use `*game-design-brainstorming` task -2. **Game Brief**: Create foundation game document using `game-brief-tmpl` -3. **Game Design Document Creation**: `/bmadg/game-designer` - Use `game-design-doc-tmpl` for comprehensive game requirements -4. **Game Architecture Design**: `/bmadg/game-architect` - Use `game-architecture-tmpl` for Godot technical foundation -5. **Level Design Framework**: `/bmadg/game-designer` - Use `level-design-doc-tmpl` for level structure planning -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to Godot project as `docs/game-design-doc.md`, `docs/game-brief.md`, `docs/level-design.md` and `docs/architecture.md` - -#### Example Game Planning Prompts - -**For Game Design Document Creation**: - -```text -"I want to build a [genre] 2D game in Godot that [core gameplay]. -Help me brainstorm mechanics and create a comprehensive Game Design Document." -``` - -**For Game Architecture Design**: - -```text -"Based on this Game Design Document, design a scalable Godot architecture -that can handle [specific game requirements] with 60+ FPS performance. -Consider both GDScript and C# for appropriate systems." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to Godot IDE - -**Once game planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for Godot development:** - -- **Why**: Godot development workflow requires scene operations, GDScript/C# coding, and real-time testing -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large game design creation; IDE is optimized for Godot development -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/game-design-doc.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your Godot project - -### Godot IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Game planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder of Godot project - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP for Game Development): - - Documents created by Game Designer/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Use core BMad agents or tools to shard: - a) **Manual**: Use core BMad `shard-doc` task if available - b) **Agent**: Ask core `@bmad-master` agent to shard documents - - Shards `docs/game-design-doc.md` ā†’ `docs/game-design/` folder - - Shards `docs/architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files to Godot is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Game Content**: - - At least one `feature-n.md` file in `docs/game-design/` with game stories in development order - - Godot system documents and coding standards for game dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for Game SM agent story creation - -Resulting Godot Project Folder Structure: - -- `docs/game-design/` - Broken down game design sections -- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down Godot architecture sections -- `docs/game-stories/` - Generated game development stories - -3. **Game Development Cycle** (Sequential, one game story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT for Godot Development**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for Game SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between Game SM, Game Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Game Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `/bmadgd/game-sm` ā†’ `*draft` - - Game SM executes create-game-story task using `game-story-tmpl` - - Review generated story in `docs/game-stories/` - - _Optional_ - Use `/bmadg/game-po` -> `*validate-story-draft (story)` to confirm alignment - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Godot Game Story Implementation (TDD)**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `/bmadg/game-developer` - - Agent asks which game story to implement - - Include story file content to save game dev agent lookup time - - **CRITICAL**: Game Dev writes tests FIRST (GUT/GoDotTest) - - Game Dev implements to make tests pass - - Game Dev maintains File List of all Godot/GDScript/C# changes - - Game Dev validates 60+ FPS performance - - Game Dev marks story as "Ready for Review" when complete with all tests passing - - **Step 3 - Game QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `/bmadg/game-qa` ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA enforces TDD compliance (tests written first) - - QA validates 60+ FPS performance - - QA can refactor and improve Godot code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for game dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue Game SM ā†’ Game Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all game feature stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 game story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all game feature stories complete. - -### Game Story Status Tracking Workflow - -Game stories progress through defined statuses: - -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Ready for Review** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Game Development Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Game Development - -- Game concept brainstorming and mechanics design -- Game design requirements and feature definition -- Godot system architecture and technical design -- Game development execution with TDD -- Game testing, performance optimization (60+ FPS), and deployment - -#### Brownfield Game Enhancement (Existing Godot Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield game development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing Godot project for AI agents to understand game mechanics, node patterns, and technical constraints. - -**Brownfield Game Enhancement Workflow**: - -1. **Upload Godot project to Web UI** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create adapted Game Design Document**: `/bmadg/game-designer` - Modify `game-design-doc-tmpl` to include: - - Analysis of existing scene structure - - Integration points for new features - - Save game compatibility requirements - - Risk assessment for changes - -3. **Game Architecture Planning**: - - Use `/bmadg/game-architect` with `game-architecture-tmpl` - - Focus on how new features integrate with existing Godot systems - - Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -4. **Story Creation for Enhancements**: - - Use `/bmadg/game-sm` with `*create-game-story` - - Stories should explicitly reference existing scenes/scripts to modify - - Include integration testing requirements - -**Critical Success Factors for Game Development**: - -1. **Game Documentation First**: Always document existing code thoroughly before making changes -2. **Godot Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant scenes and scripts -3. **Gameplay Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes to game mechanics -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and extensive game testing -5. **Performance Validation**: Every change must maintain 60+ FPS - -## Document Creation Best Practices for Game Development - -### Required File Naming for Game Framework Integration - -- `docs/game-design-doc.md` - Game Design Document -- `docs/architecture.md` - Godot System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter for Game Development**: - -- Game agents automatically reference these files during Godot development -- Game sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Game workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Game Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Game Documents (Game Design Document, Game Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create game documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your Godot project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/game-design-doc.md` and `docs/architecture.md` -4. **Switch to Godot IDE**: Use IDE agents for Godot development and smaller game documents - -### Game Document Sharding - -Game templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original Game Design Document**: - -```markdown -## Core Gameplay Mechanics - -## Player Progression System - -## Level Design Framework - -## Technical Requirements -``` - -**After Sharding**: - -- `docs/game-design/core-gameplay-mechanics.md` -- `docs/game-design/player-progression-system.md` -- `docs/game-design/level-design-framework.md` -- `docs/game-design/technical-requirements.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic game document sharding. - -## Game Agent System - -### Core Game Development Team - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ---------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- | -| `game-designer` | Game Designer | Game mechanics, creative design, GDD | Game concept, mechanics, creative direction | -| `game-developer` | Godot Developer | GDScript/C# implementation, TDD, optimization | All Godot development tasks (tests first!) | -| `game-sm` | Game Scrum Master | Game story creation, sprint planning | Game project management, workflow | -| `game-architect` | Game Architect | Godot system design, performance architecture | Complex Godot systems, 60+ FPS planning | -| `game-qa` | Game QA & TDD Enforcer | TDD enforcement, performance validation, testing | Code review, test verification, optimization | -

Game Design Context and Review - -[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a game design section: - -1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Unity.") - -2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") - -3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: - - The entire section as a whole - - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) - -4. Then present the action list as specified below.]] - -### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List - -[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection. If an elicitation action (0-8) is chosen, execute it and then re-offer this combined review/elicitation choice.

Expand or Contract for Target Audience - [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] - -1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) - [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] - -2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective - [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] - -3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies - [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] - -5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks - [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective - [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] - -7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches - [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection - [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] - -9. Proceed / No Further Actions - [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current game design work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]] - -## Game Development Context Integration - -This elicitation task is specifically designed for game development and should be used in contexts where: - -- **Game Mechanics Design**: When defining core gameplay systems and player interactions -- **Player Experience Planning**: When designing for specific emotional responses and engagement patterns -- **Technical Game Architecture**: When balancing design ambitions with implementation realities -- **Game Balance and Progression**: When designing difficulty curves and player advancement systems -- **Platform Considerations**: When adapting designs for different devices and input methods - -The questions and perspectives offered should always consider: - -- Player psychology and motivation -- Technical feasibility with Godot -- Performance implications for stable frame rate targets -- Cross-platform compatibility (PC, console, mobile) -- Game development best practices and common pitfalls -==================== END: .bmad-godot-game-dev/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-godot-game-dev/tasks/create-deep-research-prompt.md ==================== -# Create Deep Research Prompt Task - -This task helps create comprehensive research prompts for various types of deep analysis.

Initial Project Analysis - -**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. - -**IF PRD EXISTS**: - -- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned -- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected -- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas -- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean - -**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: -Ask the user: - -"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: - -1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. - -2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? - -3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: - - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' - - 'Refactoring the authentication module' - - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' - -4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) - -Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." - -Based on their response: - -- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation -- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below - -Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: - -1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization -2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies -3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands -4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation -5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches - -Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: - -- What is the primary purpose of this project? -- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? -- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) -- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? -- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) -- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) - -### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis - -CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: - -1. **Explore Key Areas**: - - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) - - Configuration files and environment setup - - Package dependencies and versions - - Build and deployment configurations - - Test suites and coverage - -2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: - - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" - - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" - - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" - - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" - - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" - -3. **Map the Reality**: - - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) - - Find where key business logic lives - - Locate integration points and external dependencies - - Document workarounds and technical debt - - Note areas that differ from standard patterns - -**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement - -### 3.

Be creative and adaptive in applying techniques. - -## Process - -### Step 1: Session Setup - -Ask 4 context questions (don't preview what happens next): - -1. What are we brainstorming about? -2. Any constraints or parameters? -3. Goal: broad exploration or focused ideation? -4. Do you want a structured document output to reference later? (Default Yes) - -### Step 2: Present Approach Options - -After getting answers to Step 1, present 4 approach options (numbered): - -1. User selects specific techniques -2. Analyst recommends techniques based on context -3. Random technique selection for creative variety -4. Progressive technique flow (start broad, narrow down) - -### Step 3: Execute Techniques Interactively - -**KEY PRINCIPLES:** - -- **FACILITATOR ROLE**: Guide user to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples -- **CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT**: Keep user engaged with chosen technique until they want to switch or are satisfied -- **CAPTURE OUTPUT**: If (default) document output requested, capture all ideas generated in each technique section to the document from the beginning. - -**Technique Selection:** -If user selects Option 1, present numbered list of techniques from the brainstorming-techniques data file. User can select by number.. - -**Technique Execution:** - -1. Apply selected technique according to data file description -2. Keep engaging with technique until user indicates they want to: - - Choose a different technique - - Apply current ideas to a new technique - - Move to convergent phase - - End session - -**Output Capture (if requested):** -For each technique used, capture: - -- Technique name and duration -- Key ideas generated by user -- Insights and patterns identified -- User's reflections on the process - -### Step 4: Session Flow - -1. **Warm-up** (5-10 min) - Build creative confidence -2. **Divergent** (20-30 min) - Generate quantity over quality -3. **Convergent** (15-20 min) - Group and categorize ideas -4. **Synthesis** (10-15 min) - Refine and develop concepts - -### Step 5: Document Output (if requested) - -Generate structured document with these sections: - -**Executive Summary** - -- Session topic and goals -- Techniques used and duration -- Total ideas generated -- Key themes and patterns identified - -**Technique Sections** (for each technique used) - -- Technique name and description -- Ideas generated (user's own words) -- Insights discovered -- Notable connections or patterns - -**Idea Categorization** - -- **Immediate Opportunities** - Ready to implement now -- **Future Innovations** - Requires development/research -- **Moonshots** - Ambitious, transformative concepts -- **Insights & Learnings** - Key realizations from session - -**Action Planning** - -- Top 3 priority ideas with rationale -- Next steps for each priority -- Resources/research needed -- Timeline considerations - -**Reflection & Follow-up** - -- What worked well in this session -- Areas for further exploration -- Recommended follow-up techniques -- Questions that emerged for future sessions - -## Key Principles - -- **YOU ARE A FACILITATOR**: Guide the user to brainstorm, don't brainstorm for them (unless they request it persistently) -- **INTERACTIVE DIALOGUE**: Ask questions, wait for responses, build on their ideas -- **ONE TECHNIQUE AT A TIME**: Don't mix multiple techniques in one response -- **CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT**: Stay with one technique until user wants to switch -- **DRAW IDEAS OUT**: Use prompts and examples to help them generate their own ideas -- **REAL-TIME ADAPTATION**: Monitor engagement and adjust approach as needed -- Maintain energy and momentum -- Defer judgment during generation -- Quantity leads to quality (aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes) -- Build on ideas collaboratively -- Document everything in output document - -## Advanced Engagement Strategies - -**Energy Management** - -- Check engagement levels: "How are you feeling about this direction?" -- Offer breaks or technique switches if energy flags -- Use encouraging language and celebrate idea generation - -**Depth vs. Breadth** - -- Ask follow-up questions to deepen ideas: "Tell me more about that..." -- Use "Yes, and..." to build on their ideas -- Help them make connections: "How does this relate to your earlier idea about...?" - -**Transition Management** - -- Always ask before switching techniques: "Ready to try a different approach?" -- Offer options: "Should we explore this idea deeper or generate more alternatives?" -- Respect their process and timing -==================== END: .bmad-godot-game-dev/tasks/facilitate-brainstorming-session.md ==================== -

This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase. - -## Task Instructions - -### 1. Initial Project Analysis - -**CRITICAL:** First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. - -**IF PRD EXISTS**: - -- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned -- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected -- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas -- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean - -**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: -Ask the user: - -"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: - -1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. - -2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? - -3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: - - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' - - 'Refactoring the authentication module' - - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' - -4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) - -Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." - -Based on their response: - -- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation -- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below - -Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: - -1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization -2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies -3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands -4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation -5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches - -Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: - -- What is the primary purpose of this project? -- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? -- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) -- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? -- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) -- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) - -### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis - -CRITICAL: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: - -1. **Explore Key Areas**: - - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) - - Configuration files and environment setup - - Package dependencies and versions - - Build and deployment configurations - - Test suites and coverage - -2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: - - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" - - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" - - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" - - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" - - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" - -3. **Map the Reality**: - - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) - - Find where key business logic lives - - Locate integration points and external dependencies - - Document workarounds and technical debt - - Note areas that differ from standard patterns - -**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement - -### 3.

First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Unity.") - -2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") - -3.

Expand or Contract for Target Audience - [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] - -1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) - [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] - -2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective - [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] - -3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies - [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] - -5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks - [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective - [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] - -7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches - [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection - [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] - -9. Proceed / No Further Actions - [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current game design work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]] - -## Game Development Context Integration - -This elicitation task is specifically designed for game development and should be used in contexts where: - -- **Game Mechanics Design**: When defining core gameplay systems and player interactions -- **Player Experience Planning**: When designing for specific emotional responses and engagement patterns -- **Technical Game Architecture**: When balancing design ambitions with implementation realities -- **Game Balance and Progression**: When designing difficulty curves and player advancement systems -- **Platform Considerations**: When adapting designs for different devices and input methods - -The questions and perspectives offered should always consider: - -- Player psychology and motivation -- Technical feasibility with Godot -- Performance implications for stable frame rate targets -- Cross-platform compatibility (PC, console, mobile) -- Game development best practices and common pitfalls -==================== END: .bmad-godot-game-dev/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md ==================== - -==================== START: .bmad-godot-game-dev/templates/game-architecture-tmpl.yaml ==================== -template: - id: game-architecture-template-v3 - name: Game Architecture Document - version: 3.0 - output: - format: markdown - filename: docs/architecture.md - title: "{{project_name}} Game Architecture Document" - -workflow: - mode: interactive - elicitation: advanced-elicitation - -sections: - - id: introduction - title: Introduction - instruction: | - If available, review any provided relevant documents to gather all relevant context before beginning.

These guidelines ensure consistency, performance (60+ FPS target), maintainability, and enforce Test-Driven Development (TDD) across all game development stories. - -## Performance Philosophy - -Following John Carmack's principles: - -- **"Measure, don't guess"** - Profile everything with Godot's built-in profiler -- **"Focus on what matters: framerate and responsiveness"** - 60+ FPS is the minimum, not the target -- **"The best code is no code"** - Simplicity beats cleverness -- **"Think about cache misses, not instruction counts"** - Memory access patterns matter most - -## GDScript Standards - -### Naming Conventions - -**Classes and Scripts:** - -- PascalCase for class names: `PlayerController`, `GameData`, `InventorySystem` -- Snake_case for file names: `player_controller.gd`, `game_data.gd` -- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `GameStateManager` not `GSM` - -**Functions and Methods:** - -- Snake_case for functions: `calculate_damage()`, `process_input()` -- Descriptive verb phrases: `activate_shield()` not `shield()` -- Private methods prefix with underscore: `_update_health()` - -**Variables and Properties:** - -- Snake_case for variables: `player_health`, `movement_speed` -- Constants in UPPER_SNAKE_CASE: `MAX_HEALTH`, `GRAVITY_FORCE` -- Export variables with clear names: `@export var jump_height: float = 5.0` -- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `is_alive`, `has_key`, `can_jump` -- Signal names in snake_case: `health_changed`, `level_completed` - -### Static Typing (MANDATORY for Performance) - -**Always use static typing for 10-20% performance gain:** - -```gdscript -# GOOD - Static typing -extends CharacterBody2D - -@export var max_health: int = 100 -@export var movement_speed: float = 300.0 - -var current_health: int -var velocity_multiplier: float = 1.0 - -func take_damage(amount: int) -> void: - current_health -= amount - if current_health <= 0: - _die() - -func _die() -> void: - queue_free() - -# BAD - Dynamic typing (avoid) -var health = 100 # No type specified -func take_damage(amount): # No parameter or return type - health -= amount -``` - -## C# Standards (for Performance-Critical Systems) - -### When to Use C# vs GDScript - -**Use C# for:** - -- Complex algorithms (pathfinding, procedural generation) -- Heavy mathematical computations -- Performance-critical systems identified by profiler -- External .NET library integration -- Large-scale data processing - -**Use GDScript for:** - -- Rapid prototyping and iteration -- UI and menu systems -- Simple game logic -- Editor tools and scene management -- Quick gameplay tweaks - -### C# Naming Conventions - -```csharp -using Godot; - -public partial class PlayerController : CharacterBody2D -{ - // Public fields (use sparingly, prefer properties) - [Export] public float MoveSpeed = 300.0f; - - // Private fields with underscore prefix - private int _currentHealth; - private float _jumpVelocity; - - // Properties with PascalCase - public int MaxHealth { get; set; } = 100; - - // Methods with PascalCase - public void TakeDamage(int amount) - { - _currentHealth -= amount; - if (_currentHealth <= 0) - { - Die(); - } - } - - private void Die() - { - QueueFree(); - } -} -``` - -## Godot Architecture Patterns - -### Node-Based Architecture - -**Scene Composition Over Inheritance:** -

-## Development Workflow - -### TDD Story Implementation Process - -1. **Read Story Requirements:** - - Understand acceptance criteria - - Identify performance requirements (60+ FPS) - - Determine GDScript vs C# needs - -2. **Write Tests FIRST (Red Phase):** - - Write failing unit tests in GUT/GoDotTest - - Define expected behavior - - Run tests to confirm they fail - -3. **Implement Feature (Green Phase):** - - Write minimal code to pass tests - - Follow Godot patterns and conventions - - Use static typing in GDScript - - Choose appropriate language (GDScript/C#) - -4. **Refactor (Refactor Phase):** - - Optimize for performance - - Clean up code structure - - Ensure 60+ FPS maintained - - Run profiler to validate - -5. **Integration Testing:** - - Test scene interactions - - Validate performance targets - - Test on all platforms - -6. **Update Documentation:** - - Mark story checkboxes complete - - Document performance metrics - - Update File List - -### Performance Checklist - -- [ ] Stable 60+ FPS achieved -- [ ] Static typing used in all GDScript -- [ ] Object pooling for spawned entities -- [ ] No memory leaks detected -- [ ] Draw calls optimized -- [ ] Appropriate process methods used -- [ ] Signals properly connected/disconnected -- [ ] Tests written FIRST (TDD) -- [ ] 80%+ test coverage - -## Performance Targets - -### Frame Rate Requirements - -- **Desktop**: 60+ FPS minimum (144 FPS for high-refresh) -- **Mobile**: 60 FPS on mid-range devices -- **Web**: 60 FPS with appropriate export settings -- **Frame Time**: <16.67ms consistently - -### Memory Management - -- **Scene Memory**: Keep under platform limits -- **Texture Memory**: Optimize imports, use compression -- **Object Pooling**: Required for bullets, particles, enemies -- **Reference Cleanup**: Prevent memory leaks - -### Optimization Priorities - -1. **Profile First**: Use Godot profiler to identify bottlenecks -2. **Optimize Algorithms**: Better algorithms beat micro-optimizations -3. **Reduce Draw Calls**: Batch rendering, use atlases -4. **Static Typing**: 10-20% performance gain in GDScript -5. **Language Choice**: Use C# for compute-heavy operations - -## General Optimization - -### Anti-Patterns - -1. **Security Holes** - - Buffer overflows - - SQL injection vectors - - Unvalidated user input - - Timing attacks - - Memory disclosure - - Race conditions with security impact - -2. **Platform Sabotage** - - Fighting Godot's scene system - - Reimplementing platform features - - Ignoring hardware capabilities - -## GDScript Optimization - -### Performance Destroyers - -1. **Type System Crimes** - - Dynamic typing anywhere (10-20% performance loss) - - Variant usage in hot paths - - Dictionary/Array without typed variants - - Missing return type hints - - Untyped function parameters - -2. **Allocation Disasters** - - Creating Arrays/Dictionaries in loops - - String concatenation with + - - Unnecessary Node instantiation - - Resource loading in game loop - - Signal connections without caching - -3. **Process Method Abuse** - - \_process() when \_physics_process() suffices - - Frame-by-frame checks for rare events - - get_node() calls every frame - - Node path resolution in loops - - Unnecessary process enabling - -### GDScript Death Sentences -
