Use this as your brainstorming buddy, check the market conditions and competitor analysis, and let it help you elicit features or ideas you may have never considered. It can also help you craft a great prompt to trigger deep research mode to really get advice and analysis of your fleshed out idea. The output will be a **Project Brief** which you will feed to the PM. +2. PM: Either give the PM the Project Brief, or describe manually your project if you understand it well enough. The PM will ask you clarifying questions until it feels comfortable drafting the PRD with enough detail to enable eventual agent development. This will include a high level story breakdown and sequence. The output will be a **PRD**. You can give some platform and technical ideas to the PM if you already know them - or wait to work with the architect. If you are already sure of the platform languages and libraries you are sure you want to use, best to specify them now, or even prior to this in the project brief. +3. UX Expert: This is a special purpose agent that is good at one thing, taking the idea from the PRD and helping elict and flesh out a prompt tuned to get great results from V0 or similar UI generators. But you can also use the UX Expert to just help flesh out more details for the PRD before we hit the architect. +4. Architect: If your project is technically complex, or you did not know all of the technical details with the PM, pull in the architect to produce an architecture document, and also ensure that it and the PRD are both in alignment. You can also push the Architect into Deep Research mode - use it to research potential alternative technologies, find if others have done similar things already (don't always need to reinvent the wheel), and maybe even suggest a whole new approach. If you do deep research, its best to take the time to understand it and ensure anything you want to use is incorporated back into the architecture draft and PRD. IF its so drastically different, you may want to go all the way back to the project brief. This is where upfront planning really plays off before we start burning up LLM agent credits! +5. PO: At this point, the PO may be unnecessary - but if you have produced a PRD, Architecture, and potentially some UX content - the PO is a good reviewer to ensure that our stories are high level but properly sequenced in the PRD - or can make updates as needed. +6. DEV: Finally we are ready for development! The Dev agent is set to work on 1 story at a time, and will create a story in draft mode for your review before starting to work on it. The story will follow the template in the ai folder and create it at /ai/stories/ following a naming convention of story-{epic}.{story}.md. + 1. Once you approve of the story, the dev will work on it and update its progress. It will use the PRD and Architecture documents as reference to draft ths stories and ensure the level of detail is in the story. + 2. It is recommended to start a new chat with each story - and potentially even after transitioning a story to In-Progress (from draft) so its starts with a clean context overhead ready to execute. But see what works best for your workflow. + 3. I always recommend having tests done with each story (ideally even follow TDD) and ensure all stories are passing in the whole project. Once they are and the story is complete - commit and push to the remote!!! -## Prompt Sequence +## Why no prompts folder -The `prompts` folder contains carefully crafted prompts for each phase of development. -This is for the most broadly ambitious project MVP +The separate prompts folder was removed as it was redundant to maintain that along with the custom-mode-prompts.

Clone this project -2. Start with the first prompt in `prompts/0-research-assistant.md` (or skip to 1 if research isn't needed) to do market research with an LLM's deep research capabilities -3. Follow each prompt in sequence, providing output from previous steps as context to the new prompt when indicated in the current prompt -4. One the PO generates the final story list, paste it back into the PRD. -5. Generate each detailed user story and implement it 1 by 1. The stories serve as the memory system and history of incremental agile development. -6. Track progress until all stories are completed to realize the MVP. - -My recommendation is to take advantage of Google Gemini or ChatGPT web apps for generation of deep research brain storming, PRD, and deep research for the architecture if needed. Beyond that, its easy enough to take the pieces of artifacts needed to put the markdown into the project ai folder, and then use prompts from within the IDE to generate the file architecture, story list updates to the PRD from the PO, and eventual story generation. - -## Modifications - -This is just an idea of what works for me to increamentally build up complex applications from idea to inception. But I use variants of this to work in existing code bases, where I will lay out a PRD with task lists and use the architecture document to put in place guardrails and further details the LLM needs to understand if it is not already in place. - -The sharing of all these prompts are just suggestions - I HIGHLY recommend you use these ideas to tweak and refine what works for you! Experiment with different models, and over time they will improve. - -For small projects, just a PRD and the story files can be more than sufficient. And for more ambitious or unknowns, use the brainstorming step and deep research to help you out. - -Valid produce artifacts for the application such as source trees, rules, architecture documentation can provide value beyond the initial implementation of the task at hand can can live with the project, usually moved into the docs folder, and also rules can be added to CONTRIBUTING.md. By putting rules in this file, it can be used by humans and ai tools. - -For example in cursor, with a good contributing file, you can have an always rule to always reference the contributing.md file for its core rule set. And then if you use Cline or CoPilot, you can do similar with their rule systems or agent custom instructions. +You can still augment with rules files per your specific tool to put more guardrails in place. If you are going to use multiple tools and do not want to maintain a lot of different rule sets - you can instead add rules to non rules files such as docs, or contributing.md for example. And then just have a single rule that indicates the agent should reference these files when needed. YMMV with the approach - I have found it to work well enough - especially with the embedded agent modes rules. ## Future Enhancements -1. BMad Method Tool -2. Improved Gems -3.

The document must comprehensively address the following sections, providing specific and actionable details: - -**0. Preliminary PRD Assessment (Action Required: User Confirmation):** - -- **Assess:** Briefly review the provided PRD. Identify any sections or requirements (e.g., complex NFRs, specific compliance mandates like HIPAA/PCI-DSS, mentions of novel/unfamiliar technologies, high-stakes security needs, or areas where standard AI rules might need refinement) where external research might be highly beneficial before finalizing architectural decisions. -- **Await Confirmation:** **Stop and wait for user confirmation** to either proceed directly with generating the Architecture Document (Steps 1-12 below) OR for the user to indicate they will run the Deep Research prompt first and potentially provide an updated PRD later. **Do not proceed to Step 1 without explicit user instruction.** -- **Assess:** If you are not sure of something, ask the user to provide details - and the user can choose to respond with their own knowledge or do further research to provide the answers needed. - -**--- (Proceed only after user confirmation from Step 0) ---** - -1. **Introduction:** Briefly state the purpose and scope of this Architecture Document, linking back to the provided PRD (mention if it's the original or an updated version post-research). **Also include a brief note stating that while this document is based on the current PRD, findings during implementation (e.g., using UI generation tools based on PRD specs, or initial coding stages) may lead to PRD refinements, which could in turn necessitate updates to this Architecture Document to maintain alignment.** -2. **Architectural Goals and Constraints:** Summarize key NFRs (e.g., performance targets, security requirements) and UI/UX drivers (e.g., responsiveness needs, specific UI library requirements) from the PRD that significantly impact the architecture. List any technical constraints mentioned in the PRD or known project limitations. -3. **Architectural Representation / Views:** - - **High-Level Overview:** Define the architectural style (e.g., Monolith, Microservices, Serverless) and justify the choice based on the PRD. Include a high-level diagram (e.g., C4 Context or Container level using Mermaid syntax). - - **Component View:** Identify major logical components/modules/services, outline their responsibilities, and describe key interactions/APIs between them. Include diagrams if helpful (e.g., C4 Container/Component or class diagrams using Mermaid syntax). - - **Data View:** Define primary data entities/models based on PRD requirements. Specify the chosen database technology (including **specific version**, e.g., PostgreSQL 15.3). Outline data access strategies. Include schemas/ERDs if possible (using Mermaid syntax). - - **Deployment View:** Specify the target deployment environment (e.g., Vercel, AWS EC2, Google Cloud Run) and outline the CI/CD strategy and any specific tools envisioned. -4. **Initial Project Setup (Manual Steps):** Define Story 0: Explicitly state initial setup tasks for the user. Examples: - - Framework CLI Generation: Specify exact command (e.g., `npx create-next-app@latest...`, `ng new...`). Justify why manual is preferred. - - Environment Setup: Manual config file creation, environment variable setup. Register for Cloud DB Account. - - LLM: Let up Local LLM or API key registration if using remote -5. **Technology Stack (Opinionated & Specific):** (Base choices on PRD and potentially Deep Research findings if applicable) - - **Languages & Frameworks:** Specify the exact programming languages and frameworks with **specific versions** (e.g., Node.js v20.x, React v18.2.0, Python 3.11.x) from the PRD - along with some that might have been missed in the PRD. - - **Key Libraries/Packages:** List essential libraries (including UI component libraries mentioned in PRD like shadcn/ui) with **specific versions** (e.g., Express v4.18.x, Jest v29.5.x, ethers.js v6.x).. - - **Database(s):** Reiterate the chosen database system and **specific version**. - - **Infrastructure Services:** List any specific cloud services required (e.g., AWS S3 for storage, SendGrid for email). -6. **Patterns and Standards (Opinionated & Specific):** (Incorporate relevant best practices if Deep Research was performed) - - **Architectural/Design Patterns:** Mandate specific patterns to be used (e.g., Repository Pattern for data access, MVC/MVVM for structure, CQRS if applicable). . - - **API Design Standards:** Define the API style (e.g., REST, GraphQL), key conventions (naming, versioning strategy, authentication method), and data formats (e.g., JSON). - - **Coding Standards:** Specify the mandatory style guide (e.g., Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide, PEP 8), code formatter (e.g., Prettier), and linter (e.g., ESLint with specific config). Define mandatory naming conventions (files, variables, classes). Define test file location conventions. - - **Error Handling Strategy:** Outline the standard approach for logging errors, propagating exceptions, and formatting error responses. -7. **Folder Structure:** Define the mandatory top-level directory layout for the codebase. Use a tree view or clear description (e.g., `/src`, `/tests`, `/config`, `/scripts`). Specify conventions for organizing components, modules, utils, etc. -8. **Testing Strategy (Opinionated & Specific):** - - **Required Test Types:** Specify mandatory types (e.g., Unit, Integration, End-to-End). - - **Frameworks/Libraries:** Mandate specific testing tools and **versions** (e.g., Jest v29.x, Cypress v12.x, Pytest v7.x). - - **Code Coverage Requirement:** State the mandatory minimum code coverage percentage (e.g., >= 85%) that must be enforced via CI. - - **Testing Standards:** Define conventions (e.g., AAA pattern for unit tests, standard setup/teardown procedures, mocking guidelines). -9. **Core AI Agent Rules (for separate file):** Define a minimal set (5-10) essential, project-wide rules for the AI agent based on the finalized tech stack and standards decided above. These rules are intended for a separate file and should align with chosen technology and language best practices (e.g., `ai/rules.md`). Examples: - - "Always place unit test files (`*.test.ts` or `*.spec.ts`) adjacent to the source file they test, maintaining 80% coverage." - - "Adhere strictly to the configured Prettier settings found in `.prettierrc`." - - "Use kebab-case for all new component filenames (e.g., `my-component.tsx`)." - - "Ensure all exported functions/methods/classes have JSDoc/TSDoc comments explaining their purpose, parameters, and return values." - - "Follow the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle; abstract reusable logic into utility functions or hooks." - - _(Suggest rules based on the specific stack/standards chosen)_ -10. **Security Considerations:** Outline key security mechanisms required based on PRD (e.g., authentication flows like JWT, password hashing algorithms like bcrypt, input validation strategies, authorization model, data encryption requirements). (Incorporate specific findings/best practices if Deep Research was performed). -11. **Architectural Decisions (ADRs):** For significant choices where alternatives exist (e.g., database selection, framework choice), briefly document the decision, the context from the PRD (and research if applicable), and the rationale. -12. **Glossary:** Define any project-specific technical terms used in the architecture document for clarity. - -### Output Format - -Generate the Architecture Document as a well-structured Markdown file. Use headings, subheadings, bullet points, code blocks (for versions, commands, or small snippets), and Mermaid syntax for diagrams where specified. Ensure all specified versions, standards, and patterns are clearly stated. Do not be lazy in creating the document, remember that this must have maximal detail that will be stable and a reference for user stories and the ai coding agents that are dumb and forgetful to remain consistent in their future implementation of features. Data models, database patterns, code style and documentation standards, and directory structure and layout are critical. - -### Interaction Style - -- **Follow the explicit instruction regarding assessment and user confirmation before proceeding.** -- Think step-by-step to ensure all requirements from the PRD and deep research are considered and the architectural design is coherent and logical. -- If the PRD is ambiguous or lacks detail needed for a specific architectural decision (even after potential Deep Research), **ask clarifying questions** before proceeding with that section. -- Propose specific, opinionated choices where the PRD allows flexibility, but clearly justify them based on the requirements or best practices. Avoid presenting multiple options without recommending one. -- Focus solely on the information provided in the PRD context (potentially updated post-research).
