+# Game Brainstorming Workflow
+
+This workflow employs structured ideation methodologies to generate and refine game concepts through systematic creative exploration. It leverages five distinct brainstorming techniques—SCAMPER, Mind Mapping, Lotus Blossom, Six Thinking Hats, and Random Word Association—each applied in isolation to produce diverse conceptual approaches. The workflow emphasizes iterative refinement where initial concepts are evaluated against design pillars, technical feasibility, and market positioning to identify the most promising directions.
+
+The system operates through a game-specific context framework that considers platform constraints, target audience characteristics, monetization models, and core gameplay pillars. Each brainstorming method generates distinct artifacts: SCAMPER produces systematic modification analyses, Mind Mapping reveals conceptual hierarchies, Lotus Blossom creates radial expansion patterns, Six Thinking Hats enforces multi-perspective evaluation, and Random Word Association drives lateral thinking breakthroughs. The workflow culminates in a consolidated concept document that synthesizes the strongest elements from each method into cohesive game proposals.
+
+Critical to this workflow is its emphasis on constraint-driven creativity. The game-context.md framework establishes technical boundaries (platform capabilities, performance targets), market parameters (genre conventions, competitive positioning), and design philosophy (accessibility requirements, monetization ethics) that ground creative exploration in practical realities. This prevents ideation from drifting into infeasible territory while maintaining creative ambition.
+

+# Game Brainstorming Context
+
+This context guide provides game-specific considerations for brainstorming sessions focused on game design and development.
+
+## Session Focus Areas
+
+When brainstorming for games, consider exploring:
+
+- **Core Gameplay Loop** - What players do moment-to-moment
+- **Player Fantasy** - What identity/power fantasy does the game fulfill?
+- **Game Mechanics** - Rules and interactions that define play
+- **Game Dynamics** - Emergent behaviors from mechanic interactions
+- **Aesthetic Experience** - Emotional responses and feelings evoked
+- **Progression Systems** - How players grow and unlock content
+- **Challenge and Difficulty** - How to create engaging difficulty curves
+- **Social/Multiplayer Features** - How players interact with each other
+- **Narrative and World** - Story, setting, and environmental storytelling
+- **Art Direction and Feel** - Visual style and game feel
+- **Monetization** - Business model and revenue approach (if applicable)
+
+## Game Design Frameworks
+
+### MDA Framework
+
+- **Mechanics** - Rules and systems (what's in the code)
+- **Dynamics** - Runtime behavior (how mechanics interact)
+- **Aesthetics** - Emotional responses (what players feel)
+
+### Player Motivation (Bartle's Taxonomy)
+
+- **Achievers** - Goal completion and progression
+- **Explorers** - Discovery and understanding systems
+- **Socializers** - Interaction and relationships
+- **Killers** - Competition and dominance
+
+### Core Experience Questions
+
+- What does the player DO? (Verbs first, nouns second)
+- What makes them feel powerful/competent/awesome?
+- What's the central tension or challenge?
+- What's the "one more turn" factor?
+
+## Recommended Brainstorming Techniques
+
+### Game Design Specific Techniques
+
+(These are available as additional techniques in game brainstorming sessions)
+
+- **MDA Framework Exploration** - Design through mechanics-dynamics-aesthetics
+- **Core Loop Brainstorming** - Define the heartbeat of gameplay
+- **Player Fantasy Mining** - Identify and amplify player power fantasies
+- **Genre Mashup** - Combine unexpected genres for innovation
+- **Verbs Before Nouns** - Focus on actions before objects
+- **Failure State Design** - Work backwards from interesting failures
+- **Ludonarrative Harmony** - Align story and gameplay
+- **Game Feel Playground** - Focus purely on how controls feel
+
+### Standard Techniques Well-Suited for Games
+
+- **SCAMPER Method** - Innovate on existing game mechanics
+- **What If Scenarios** - Explore radical gameplay possibilities
+- **First Principles Thinking** - Rebuild game concepts from scratch
+- **Role Playing** - Generate ideas from player perspectives
+- **Analogical Thinking** - Find inspiration from other games/media
+- **Constraint-Based Creativity** - Design around limitations
+- **Morphological Analysis** - Explore mechanic combinations
+
+## Output Guidance
+
+Effective game brainstorming sessions should capture:
+
+1. **Core Concept** - High-level game vision and hook
+2. **Key Mechanics** - Primary gameplay verbs and interactions
+3. **Player Experience** - What it feels like to play
+4. **Unique Elements** - What makes this game special/different
+5. **Design Challenges** - Obstacles to solve during development
+6. **Prototype Ideas** - What to test first
+7. **Reference Games** - Existing games that inspire or inform
+8. **Open Questions** - What needs further exploration
+
+## Integration with Game Development Workflow
+
+Game brainstorming sessions typically feed into:
+
+- **Game Briefs** - High-level vision and core pillars
+- **Game Design Documents (GDD)** - Comprehensive design specifications
+- **Technical Design Docs** - Architecture for game systems
+- **Prototype Plans** - What to build to validate concepts
+- **Art Direction Documents** - Visual style and feel guides
+
+## Special Considerations for Game Design
+
+### Start With The Feel
+
+- How should controls feel? Responsive? Weighty? Floaty?
+- What's the "game feel" - the juice and feedback?
+- Can we prototype the core interaction quickly?
+
+### Think in Systems
+
+- How do mechanics interact?
+- What emergent behaviors arise?
+- Are there dominant strategies or exploits?
+
+### Design for Failure
+
+- How do players fail?
+- Is failure interesting and instructive?
+- What's the cost of failure?
+
+### Player Agency vs. Authored Experience
+
+- Where do players have meaningful choices?
+- Where is the experience authored/scripted?
+- How do we balance freedom and guidance?

+# Project Brainstorming Workflow
+
+This workflow facilitates structured ideation for non-game software projects through systematic exploration of problem spaces, solution architectures, and implementation strategies. Unlike traditional requirement gathering, it employs creative techniques to uncover non-obvious approaches and identify innovative solutions that address core business needs while considering technical constraints and organizational capabilities.
+
+The workflow operates through a project-specific context framework that captures business objectives, technical environment, stakeholder needs, and organizational constraints. It generates multiple solution vectors through parallel ideation tracks: architectural approaches, user experience paradigms, integration patterns, and value delivery mechanisms. Each track produces concrete proposals that are evaluated against feasibility, impact, and alignment with strategic objectives.
+
+Critical differentiators include its focus on solution innovation rather than requirement enumeration, emphasis on technical-business alignment from inception, and structured approach to surfacing hidden assumptions. The workflow produces actionable outputs that directly feed into Product Brief development, ensuring that creative exploration translates into concrete planning artifacts.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+bmad bmm 1-analysis brainstorm-project
+```
+
+## Inputs
+
+- **Project Context Document**: Business objectives, technical environment, stakeholder landscape, organizational constraints, success criteria, and known pain points
+- **Problem Statement** (optional): Core business challenge or opportunity driving the project
+
+## Outputs
+
+- **Solution Architecture Proposals**: Multiple technical approaches with trade-off analysis and feasibility assessments
+- **Value Delivery Framework**: Prioritized feature concepts aligned with business objectives and user needs
+- **Risk and Opportunity Analysis**: Identified technical dependencies, integration challenges, and innovation opportunities
+- **Strategic Recommendation**: Synthesized direction with rationale and implementation considerations

+```
+
+## Scan Levels (NEW in v1.2.0)
+
+Choose the right scan depth for your needs:
+
+### 1. Quick Scan (Default)
+
+**Duration:** 2-5 minutes
+**What it does:** Pattern-based analysis without reading source files
+**Reads:** Config files, package manifests, directory structure, README
+**Use when:**
+
+- You need a fast project overview
+- Initial understanding of project structure
+- Planning next steps before deeper analysis
+
+**Does NOT read:** Source code files (_.js, _.ts, _.py, _.go, etc.)
+
+### 2. Deep Scan
+
+**Duration:** 10-30 minutes
+**What it does:** Reads files in critical directories based on project type
+**Reads:** Files in critical paths defined by documentation requirements
+**Use when:**
+
+- Creating comprehensive documentation for brownfield PRD
+- Need detailed analysis of key areas
+- Want balance between depth and speed
+
+**Example:** For a web app, reads controllers/, models/, components/, but not every utility file
+
+### 3. Exhaustive Scan
+
+**Duration:** 30-120 minutes
+**What it does:** Reads ALL source files in project
+**Reads:** Every source file (excludes node_modules, dist, build, .git)
+**Use when:**
+
+- Complete project analysis needed
+- Migration planning requires full understanding
+- Detailed audit of entire codebase
+- Deep technical debt assessment
+
+**Note:** Deep-dive mode ALWAYS uses exhaustive scan (no choice)
+
+## Resumability (NEW in v1.2.0)
+
+The workflow can be interrupted and resumed without losing progress:
+
+- **State Tracking:** Progress saved in `project-scan-report.json`
+- **Auto-Detection:** Workflow detects incomplete runs (<24 hours old)
+- **Resume Prompt:** Choose to resume or start fresh
+- **Step-by-Step:** Resume from exact step where interrupted
+- **Archiving:** Old state files automatically archived
+
+**Example Resume Flow:**
+
+```
+> workflow document-project
+
+I found an in-progress workflow state from 2025-10-11 14:32:15.
+
+Current Progress:
+- Mode: initial_scan
+- Scan Level: deep
+- Completed Steps: 5/12
+- Last Step: step_5
+
+Would you like to:
+1. Resume from where we left off - Continue from step 6
+2. Start fresh - Archive old state and begin new scan
+3. Cancel - Exit without changes
+
+Your choice [1/2/3]:
+```
+
+## What It Does
+
+### Step-by-Step Process
+
+1. **Detects Project Structure** - Identifies if project is single-part or multi-part (client/server/etc.)
+2. **Classifies Project Type** - Matches against 12 project types (web, backend, mobile, etc.)
+3. **Discovers Documentation** - Finds existing README, CONTRIBUTING, ARCHITECTURE files
+4. **Analyzes Tech Stack** - Parses package files, identifies frameworks, versions, dependencies
+5. **Conditional Scanning** - Performs targeted analysis based on project type requirements:
+   - API routes and endpoints
+   - Database models and schemas
+   - State management patterns
+   - UI component libraries
+   - Configuration and security
+   - CI/CD and deployment configs
+6. **Generates Source Tree** - Creates annotated directory structure with critical paths
+7. **Extracts Dev Instructions** - Documents setup, build, run, and test commands
+8. **Creates Architecture Docs** - Generates detailed architecture using matched templates
+9. **Builds Master Index** - Creates comprehensive index.md as primary AI retrieval source
+10. **Validates Output** - Runs 140+ point checklist to ensure completeness

+## Use Cases
+
+### Primary Use Case: Brownfield PRD Creation
+
+After running this workflow, use the generated `index.md` as input to brownfield PRD workflows:
+
+```
+User: "I want to add a new dashboard feature"
+PRD Workflow: Loads docs/index.md
+→ Understands existing architecture
+→ Identifies reusable components
+→ Plans integration with existing APIs
+→ Creates contextual PRD with epics and stories
+```
+
+### Other Use Cases
+
+- **Onboarding New Developers** - Comprehensive project documentation
+- **Architecture Review** - Structured analysis of existing system
+- **Technical Debt Assessment** - Identify patterns and anti-patterns
+- **Migration Planning** - Understand current state before refactoring
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Recommended Inputs (Optional)
+
+- Project root directory (defaults to current directory)
+- README.md or similar docs (auto-discovered if present)
+- User guidance on key areas to focus (workflow will ask)
+
+### Tools Used

+
+## Deep-Dive Mode
+
+### What is Deep-Dive Mode?
+
+When you run the workflow on a project that already has documentation, you'll be offered a choice:
+
+1. **Rescan entire project** - Update all documentation with latest changes
+2. **Deep-dive into specific area** - Generate EXHAUSTIVE documentation for a particular feature/module/folder
+3. **Cancel** - Keep existing documentation
+
+Deep-dive mode performs **comprehensive, file-by-file analysis** of a specific area, reading EVERY file completely and documenting:
+
+- All exports with complete signatures
+- All imports and dependencies
+- Dependency graphs and data flow
+- Code patterns and implementations
+- Testing coverage and strategies
+- Integration points
+- Reuse opportunities
+
+### When to Use Deep-Dive Mode
+
+- **Before implementing a feature** - Deep-dive the area you'll be modifying
+- **During architecture review** - Deep-dive complex modules
+- **For code understanding** - Deep-dive unfamiliar parts of codebase
+- **When creating PRDs** - Deep-dive areas affected by new features
+
+### Deep-Dive Process
+
+1. Workflow detects existing `index.md`
+2. Offers deep-dive option
+3. Suggests areas based on project structure:
+   - API route groups
+   - Feature modules
+   - UI component areas
+   - Services/business logic
+4. You select area or specify custom path
+5. Workflow reads EVERY file in that area
+6. Generates `deep-dive-{area-name}.md` with complete analysis
+7. Updates `index.md` with link to deep-dive doc
+8. Offers to deep-dive another area or finish
+
+### Deep-Dive Output Example
+
+**docs/deep-dive-dashboard-feature.md:**
+
+- Complete file inventory (47 files analyzed)
+- Every export with signatures
+- Dependency graph
+- Data flow analysis
+- Integration points
+- Testing coverage
+- Related code references
+- Implementation guidance
+- ~3,000 LOC documented in detail
+
+### Incremental Deep-Diving
+
+You can deep-dive multiple areas over time:
+
+- First run: Scan entire project → generates index.md
+- Second run: Deep-dive dashboard feature
+- Third run: Deep-dive API layer
+- Fourth run: Deep-dive authentication system
+
+All deep-dive docs are linked from the master index.
+
+## Validation
+
+The workflow includes a comprehensive 160+ point checklist covering:
+
+- Project detection accuracy
+- Technology stack completeness
+- Codebase scanning thoroughness
+- Architecture documentation quality
+- Multi-part handling (if applicable)
+- Brownfield PRD readiness
+- Deep-dive completeness (if applicable)
+
+## Next Steps After Completion
+
+1. **Review** `docs/index.md` - Your master documentation index
+2. **Validate** - Check generated docs for accuracy
+3. **Use for PRD** - Point brownfield PRD workflow to index.md
+4. **Maintain** - Re-run workflow when architecture changes significantly
+
+## File Structure
+
+```
+document-project/
+├── workflow.yaml                    # Workflow configuration
+├── instructions.md                  # Step-by-step workflow logic
+├── checklist.md                     # Validation criteria
+├── documentation-requirements.csv   # Project type scanning patterns
+├── templates/                       # Output templates

+│   └── source-tree-template.md
+└── README.md                        # This file
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Issue: Project type not detected correctly**
+
+- Solution: Workflow will ask for confirmation; manually select correct type
+
+**Issue: Missing critical information**
+
+- Solution: Provide additional context when prompted; re-run specific analysis steps
+
+**Issue: Multi-part detection missed a part**
+
+- Solution: When asked to confirm parts, specify the missing part and its path
+
+**Issue: Architecture template doesn't match well**
+
+- Solution: Check registry.csv; may need to add new template or adjust matching criteria
+
+## Architecture Improvements in v1.2.0
+
+### Context-Safe Design
+
+The workflow now uses a write-as-you-go architecture:
+
+- Documents written immediately to disk (not accumulated in memory)
+- Detailed findings purged after writing (only summaries kept)
+- State tracking enables resumption from any step
+- Batching strategy prevents context exhaustion on large projects
+
+### Batching Strategy
+
+For deep/exhaustive scans:
+
+- Process ONE subfolder at a time
+- Read files → Extract info → Write output → Validate → Purge context
+- Primary concern is file SIZE (not count)
+- Track batches in state file for resumability
+
+### State File Format
+
+Optimized JSON (no pretty-printing):
+
+```json
+{
+  "workflow_version": "1.2.0",
+  "timestamps": {...},
+  "mode": "initial_scan",
+  "scan_level": "deep",
+  "completed_steps": [...],
+  "current_step": "step_6",
+  "findings": {"summary": "only"},
+  "outputs_generated": [...],
+  "resume_instructions": "..."
+}
+```

+# Document Project Workflow Templates
+
+This directory contains template files for the `document-project` workflow.
+
+## Template Files
+
+- **index-template.md** - Master index template (adapts for single/multi-part projects)
+- **project-overview-template.md** - Executive summary and high-level overview
+- **source-tree-template.md** - Annotated directory structure
+
+## Template Usage
+
+The workflow dynamically selects and populates templates based on:
+
+1. **Project structure** (single part vs multi-part)
+2. **Project type** (web, backend, mobile, etc.)
+3. **Documentation requirements** (from documentation-requirements.csv)
+
+## Variable Naming Convention
+
+Templates use Handlebars-style variables:
+
+- `{{variable_name}}` - Simple substitution
+- `{{#if condition}}...{{/if}}` - Conditional blocks
+- `{{#each collection}}...{{/each}}` - Iteration
+
+## Additional Templates
+
+Architecture-specific templates are dynamically loaded from:
+`/bmad/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/templates/`
+
+Based on the matched architecture type from the registry.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Templates support both simple and complex project structures
+- Multi-part projects get part-specific file naming (e.g., `architecture-{part_id}.md`)
+- Single-part projects use simplified naming (e.g., `architecture.md`)

+# Game Brief Workflow
+
+## Overview
+
+The Game Brief workflow is the starting point for game projects in the BMad Method. It's a lightweight, interactive brainstorming and planning session that captures your game vision before diving into detailed Game Design Documents (GDD).
+
+## Purpose
+
+**Game Brief answers:**
+
+- What game are you making?
+- Who is it for?
+- What makes it unique?
+- Is it feasible?
+
+**This is NOT:**
+
+- A full Game Design Document
+- A technical specification
+- A production plan
+- A detailed content outline
+
+## When to Use This Workflow
+
+Use the game-brief workflow when:
+
+- Starting a new game project from scratch
+- Exploring a game idea before committing
+- Pitching a concept to team/stakeholders
+- Validating market fit and feasibility
+- Preparing input for the GDD workflow
+
+Skip if:
+
+- You already have a complete GDD
+- Continuing an existing project
+- Prototyping without planning needs
+
+## Workflow Structure
+
+### Interactive Mode (Recommended)
+
+Work through each section collaboratively:
+
+1. Game Vision (concept, pitch, vision statement)
+2. Target Market (audience, competition, positioning)
+3. Game Fundamentals (pillars, mechanics, experience goals)
+4. Scope and Constraints (platforms, timeline, budget, team)
+5. Reference Framework (inspiration, competitors, differentiators)
+6. Content Framework (world, narrative, volume)
+7. Art and Audio Direction (visual and audio style)
+8. Risk Assessment (risks, challenges, mitigation)
+9. Success Criteria (MVP, metrics, launch goals)
+10. Next Steps (immediate actions, research, questions)
+
+### YOLO Mode
+
+AI generates complete draft, then you refine sections iteratively.
+
+## Key Features
+
+### Optional Inputs
+
+The workflow can incorporate:
+
+- Market research
+- Brainstorming results
+- Competitive analysis
+- Design notes
+- Reference game lists
+
+### Realistic Scoping
+
+The workflow actively helps you:
+
+- Identify scope vs. resource mismatches
+- Assess technical feasibility
+- Recognize market risks
+- Plan mitigation strategies
+
+### Clear Handoff
+
+Output is designed to feed directly into:
+
+- GDD workflow (2-plan phase)
+- Prototyping decisions
+- Team discussions
+- Stakeholder presentations
+
+## Output
+
+**game-brief-{game_name}-{date}.md** containing:
+
+- Executive summary
+- Complete game vision
+- Target market analysis
+- Core gameplay definition
+- Scope and constraints
+- Reference framework
+- Art/audio direction
+- Risk assessment
+- Success criteria
+- Next steps

+
+| Aspect              | Game Brief                  | GDD                       |
+| ------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------- |
+| **Purpose**         | Validate concept            | Design for implementation |
+| **Detail Level**    | High-level vision           | Detailed specifications   |
+| **Time Investment** | 1-2 hours                   | 4-10 hours                |

+| **Scope**           | Concept validation          | Implementation roadmap    |
+| **Format**          | Conversational, exploratory | Structured, comprehensive |
+| **Output**          | 3-5 pages                   | 10-30+ pages              |
+
+## Comparison: Game Brief vs. Product Brief
+
+| Aspect            | Game Brief                   | Product Brief                     |
+| ----------------- | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
+| **Focus**         | Player experience, fun, feel | User problems, features, value    |
+| **Metrics**       | Engagement, retention, fun   | Revenue, conversion, satisfaction |
+| **Core Elements** | Gameplay pillars, mechanics  | Problem/solution, user segments   |
+| **References**    | Other games                  | Competitors, market               |
+| **Vision**        | Emotional experience         | Business outcomes                 |
+
+## Example Use Case
+
+### Scenario: Indie Roguelike Card Game
+
+**Starting Point:**
+"I want to make a roguelike card game with a twist"
+
+**After Game Brief:**
+
+- **Core Concept:** "A roguelike card battler where you play as emotions battling inner demons"
+- **Target Audience:** Core gamers who love Slay the Spire, interested in mental health themes
+- **Differentiator:** Emotional narrative system where deck composition affects story
+- **MVP Scope:** 3 characters, 80 cards, 30 enemy types, 3 bosses, 6-hour first run
+- **Platform:** PC (Steam) first, mobile later
+- **Timeline:** 12 months with 2-person team
+- **Key Risk:** Emotional theme might alienate hardcore roguelike fans
+- **Mitigation:** Prototype early, test with target audience, offer "mechanical-only" mode
+
+**Next Steps:**
+
+1. Build card combat prototype (2 weeks)
+2. Test emotional resonance with players
+3. Proceed to GDD workflow if prototype validates
+
+## Tips for Success
+
+### Be Honest About Scope
+
+The most common game dev failure is scope mismatch. Use this workflow to reality-check:
+
+- Can your team actually build this?
+- Is the timeline realistic?
+- Do you have budget for assets?
+
+### Focus on Player Experience
+
+Don't think about code or implementation. Think about:
+
+- What will players DO?
+- How will they FEEL?
+- Why will they CARE?
+
+### Validate Early
+
+The brief identifies assumptions and risks. Don't skip to GDD without:
+
+- Prototyping risky mechanics
+- Testing with target audience
+- Validating market interest
+
+### Use References Wisely
+
+"Like X but with Y" is a starting point, not a differentiator. Push beyond:
+
+- What specifically from reference games?
+- What are you explicitly NOT doing?
+- What's genuinely new?
+
+## FAQ
+
+**Q: Is this required before GDD?**
+A: No, but highly recommended for new projects. You can start directly with GDD if you have a clear vision.
+
+**Q: Can I use this for game jams?**
+A: Yes, but use YOLO mode for speed. Focus on vision, mechanics, and MVP scope.
+
+**Q: What if my game concept changes?**
+A: Revisit and update the brief. It's a living document during early development.
+
+**Q: How detailed should content volume estimates be?**
+A: Rough orders of magnitude are fine. "~50 enemies" not "47 enemies with 3 variants each."
+
+**Q: Should I complete this alone or with my team?**
+A: Involve your team! Collaborative briefs catch blind spots and build shared vision.

+# Product Brief Workflow
+
+## Overview
+
+Interactive product brief creation workflow that guides users through defining their product vision with multiple input sources and conversational collaboration. Supports both structured interactive mode and rapid "YOLO" mode for quick draft generation.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Dual Mode Operation** - Interactive step-by-step or rapid draft generation
+- **Multi-Input Support** - Integrates market research, competitive analysis, and brainstorming results
+- **Conversational Design** - Guides users through strategic thinking with probing questions
+- **Executive Summary Generation** - Creates compelling summaries for stakeholder communication
+- **Comprehensive Coverage** - Addresses all critical product planning dimensions
+- **Stakeholder Ready** - Generates professional briefs suitable for PM handoff
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Invocation
+
+```bash
+workflow product-brief
+```
+
+### With Input Documents
+
+```bash
+# With market research
+workflow product-brief --input market-research.md
+
+# With multiple inputs
+workflow product-brief --input market-research.md --input competitive-analysis.md
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+- **brief_format**: "comprehensive" (full detail) or "executive" (3-page limit)
+- **autonomous**: false (requires user collaboration)
+- **output_folder**: Location for generated brief
+
+## Workflow Structure
+
+### Files Included
+
+```
+product-brief/
+├── workflow.yaml           # Configuration and metadata
+├── instructions.md         # Interactive workflow steps
+├── template.md            # Product brief document structure
+├── checklist.md           # Validation criteria
+└── README.md              # This file
+```
+
+## Workflow Process
+
+### Phase 1: Initialization and Context (Steps 0-2)
+
+- **Project Setup**: Captures project name and basic context
+- **Input Gathering**: Collects and analyzes available documents
+- **Mode Selection**: Chooses interactive or YOLO collaboration approach
+- **Context Extraction**: Identifies core problems and opportunities
+
+### Phase 2: Interactive Development (Steps 3-12) - Interactive Mode
+
+- **Problem Definition**: Deep dive into user pain points and market gaps
+- **Solution Articulation**: Develops clear value proposition and approach
+- **User Segmentation**: Defines primary and secondary target audiences
+- **Success Metrics**: Establishes measurable goals and KPIs
+- **MVP Scoping**: Ruthlessly defines minimum viable features
+- **Financial Planning**: Assesses ROI and strategic alignment
+- **Technical Context**: Captures platform and technology considerations
+- **Risk Assessment**: Identifies constraints, assumptions, and unknowns
+
+### Phase 3: Rapid Generation (Steps 3-4) - YOLO Mode
+
+- **Complete Draft**: Generates full brief based on initial context
+- **Iterative Refinement**: User-guided section improvements
+- **Quality Validation**: Ensures completeness and consistency
+
+### Phase 4: Finalization (Steps 13-15)
+
+- **Executive Summary**: Creates compelling overview for stakeholders
+- **Supporting Materials**: Compiles research summaries and references
+- **Final Review**: Quality check and handoff preparation
+
+## Output
+
+### Generated Files
+
+- **Primary output**: product-brief-{project_name}-{date}.md
+- **Supporting files**: Research summaries and stakeholder input documentation
+
+### Output Structure
+
+1. **Executive Summary** - High-level product concept and value proposition
+2. **Problem Statement** - Detailed problem analysis with evidence
+3. **Proposed Solution** - Core approach and key differentiators
+4. **Target Users** - Primary and secondary user segments with personas
+5. **Goals and Success Metrics** - Business objectives and measurable KPIs
+6. **MVP Scope** - Must-have features and out-of-scope items
+7. **Post-MVP Vision** - Phase 2 features and long-term roadmap
+8. **Financial Impact** - Investment requirements and ROI projections
+9. **Strategic Alignment** - Connection to company OKRs and initiatives
+10. **Technical Considerations** - Platform requirements and preferences
+11. **Constraints and Assumptions** - Resource limits and key assumptions
+12. **Risks and Open Questions** - Risk assessment and research needs
+13. **Supporting Materials** - Research summaries and references
+
+## Requirements
+
+No special requirements - designed to work with or without existing documentation.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Before Starting
+
+1. **Gather Available Research**: Collect any market research, competitive analysis, or user feedback
+2. **Define Stakeholder Audience**: Know who will use this brief for decision-making
+3. **Set Time Boundaries**: Interactive mode requires 60-90 minutes for quality results
+
+### During Execution
+
+1. **Be Specific**: Avoid generic statements - provide concrete examples and data
+2. **Think Strategically**: Focus on "why" and "what" rather than "how"
+3. **Challenge Assumptions**: Use the conversation to test and refine your thinking
+4. **Scope Ruthlessly**: Resist feature creep in MVP definition
+
+### After Completion
+
+1. **Validate with Checklist**: Use included criteria to ensure completeness
+2. **Stakeholder Review**: Share executive summary first, then full brief
+3. **Iterate Based on Feedback**: Product briefs should evolve with new insights
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Issue**: Brief lacks specificity or contains vague statements
+
+- **Solution**: Restart problem definition with concrete examples and measurable impacts
+- **Check**: Ensure each section answers "so what?" and provides actionable insights
+
+**Issue**: MVP scope is too large or undefined
+
+- **Solution**: Use the "what's the minimum to validate core hypothesis?" filter
+- **Check**: Verify that each MVP feature is truly essential for initial value delivery
+
+**Issue**: Missing strategic context or business justification
+
+- **Solution**: Return to financial impact and strategic alignment sections
+- **Check**: Ensure connection to company goals and clear ROI potential
+
+## Customization
+
+To customize this workflow:
+
+1. **Modify Questions**: Update instructions.md to add industry-specific or company-specific prompts
+2. **Adjust Template**: Customize template.md sections for organizational brief standards
+3. **Add Validation**: Extend checklist.md with company-specific quality criteria
+4. **Configure Modes**: Adjust brief_format settings for different output styles
+
+## Version History
+
+- **v6.0.0** - Interactive conversational design with dual modes
+  - Interactive and YOLO mode support
+  - Multi-input document integration
+  - Executive summary generation
+  - Strategic alignment focus
+
+## Support
+
+For issues or questions:
+
+- Review the workflow creation guide at `/bmad/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/workflow-creation-guide.md`
+- Validate output using `checklist.md`
+- Consider running market research workflow first if lacking business context
+- Consult BMAD documentation for product planning methodology

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Don't know which research type to choose
+
+- **Solution**: Start with research question - "What do I need to know?"
+  - Market viability? → `market`
+  - Best technology? → `technical`
+  - Need AI to research deeper? → `deep_prompt`
+  - Who are competitors? → `competitive`
+  - Who are users? → `user`
+  - Industry understanding? → `domain`
+
+### Issue: Market research results seem incomplete
+
+- **Solution**: Increase research_depth to `comprehensive`
+- **Check**: Enable web_research in workflow.yaml
+- **Try**: Run competitive and user research separately for more depth
+
+### Issue: Deep prompt doesn't work with target platform
+
+- **Solution**: Review platform-specific best practices in generated prompt
+- **Check**: Ensure context documents are included
+- **Try**: Regenerate with different platform selection
+
+### Issue: Technical comparison is subjective
+
+- **Solution**: Add more objective criteria (performance metrics, cost, community size)
+- **Check**: Weight criteria by business importance
+- **Try**: Run pilot implementations for top 2 options
+
+## Customization
+
+### Adding New Research Types
+
+1. Create new instructions file: `instructions-{type}.md`
+2. Create new template file: `template-{type}.md`
+3. Add research type to `workflow.yaml` `research_types` section
+4. Update router logic in `instructions-router.md`
+
+### Modifying Existing Research Types
+
+1. Edit appropriate `instructions-{type}.md` file
+2. Update corresponding `template-{type}.md` if needed
+3. Adjust validation criteria in `checklist.md`
+
+### Creating Custom Frameworks
+
+Add to `workflow.yaml` `frameworks` section under appropriate research type.
+
+## Version History
+
+- **v2.0.0** - Multi-type research system with router architecture
+  - Added deep_prompt research type for AI research platform optimization
+  - Added technical research type for technology evaluation
+  - Consolidated competitive, user, domain under market with focus variants
+  - Router-based instruction loading
+  - Template selection by research type
+  - Enhanced Claude Code subagent support
+
+- **v1.0.0** - Initial market research only implementation
+  - Single-purpose market research workflow
+  - Now deprecated in favor of v2.0.0 multi-type system
+
+## Support
+
+For issues or questions:
+
+- Review workflow creation guide at `/bmad/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/workflow-creation-guide.md`
+- Check validation against `checklist.md`
+- Examine router logic in `instructions-router.md`
+- Review research type-specific instructions
+- Consult BMAD Method v6 documentation
+
+## Migration from v1.0 market-research
+
+If you're used to the standalone `market-research` workflow:
+
+```bash
+# Old way
+workflow market-research
+
+# New way
+workflow research --type market
+# Or just: workflow research (then select market)
+```
+
+All market research functionality is preserved and enhanced in v2.0.0.

+
+## Operational Approach
+
+When analyzing trends:
+
+1. **Scan Broadly** - Look across industries for cross-pollination
+2. **Identify Weak Signals** - Find early indicators others miss
+3. **Connect Patterns** - Link seemingly unrelated developments
+4. **Assess Impact** - Evaluate potential magnitude and timeline
+5. **Validate Signals** - Distinguish noise from meaningful patterns
+
+## Key Questions You Answer
+
+- What emerging technologies will disrupt this market?
+- What social/cultural shifts will impact demand?
+- What regulatory changes are on the horizon?
+- What adjacent industry trends could affect this market?
+- What are the 2nd and 3rd order effects of current trends?
+- What black swan events should we monitor?
+
+## Output Format
+
+For each identified trend, provide:
+
+- **Trend Name and Description**
+- **Current Stage** (Emerging/Growing/Mainstream/Declining)
+- **Evidence and Signals** (3-5 specific indicators)
+- **Timeline** (When mainstream adoption expected)
+- **Impact Assessment** (Market size, disruption potential)
+- **Opportunities** (How to capitalize)
+- **Risks** (What could derail the trend)
+- **Leading Indicators** (What to monitor)
+
+## Specialized Techniques
+
+### Weak Signal Detection
+
+Look for:
+
+- Unusual patent clusters
+- VC investment pattern shifts
+- New conference tracks/themes
+- Regulatory sandbox programs
+- Academic research surges
+- Fringe community adoption
+
+### Cross-Industry Pattern Matching
+
+- How retail innovations affect B2B
+- Consumer tech adoption in enterprise
+- Healthcare solutions in other industries
+- Gaming mechanics in serious applications
+- Military tech in civilian markets
+
+### Future Scenario Development
+
+Create multiple scenarios:
+
+- Most likely future (60-70% probability)
+- Optimistic scenario (15-20% probability)
+- Pessimistic scenario (15-20% probability)
+- Wild card scenarios (<5% probability)
+
+## Remember
+
+- Not all change is a trend
+- Timing matters as much as direction
+- Second-order effects often bigger than first
+- Geography affects adoption speed
+- Regulation can accelerate or kill trends
+- Infrastructure dependencies matter

+# Project Planning Workflow (Phase 2)
+
+This scale-adaptive workflow represents the cornerstone of BMM v6's intelligent project orchestration, automatically determining project complexity (Level 0-4) and routing to specialized planning pathways based on project type, scope, and context. Unlike traditional one-size-fits-all planning approaches, it dynamically adjusts output artifacts—from minimal tech specs for atomic changes to comprehensive PRD suites for enterprise platforms—ensuring planning overhead matches project value. The workflow serves as the critical bridge between Phase 1 analysis outputs and Phase 3 solutioning, establishing the contractual foundation for all subsequent development activities.
+
+The workflow's routing intelligence analyzes project characteristics through multi-dimensional assessment: project type (game, web, mobile, backend), context (greenfield vs. brownfield), scope indicators, and complexity signals. Based on this analysis, it classifies projects into five levels with distinct artifact requirements. Level 0 produces only tech specs for single atomic changes. Levels 1-2 generate focused PRDs with embedded tech specs. Levels 3-4 create comprehensive PRDs with separate epics that hand off to the architect-driven solutioning workflow. This classification isn't merely about document generation—it fundamentally changes how requirements are structured, validated, and communicated to downstream consumers.
+
+Critical to v6's flow improvement is this workflow's integration with the project-workflow-analysis.md tracking document, which maintains project state across sessions, tracks which agents participate in each phase, and provides continuity for multi-session planning efforts. The workflow can resume from any point, intelligently detecting existing artifacts and determining next steps without redundant work. For game projects, it routes to specialized GDD generation with genre-specific templates. For UX-heavy projects, it can generate standalone UX specifications or AI frontend prompts from existing specs.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Scale-adaptive planning** - Automatically determines output based on project complexity
+- **Intelligent routing** - Uses router system to load appropriate instruction sets
+- **Continuation support** - Can resume from previous sessions and handle incremental work
+- **Multi-level outputs** - Supports 5 project levels (0-4) with appropriate artifacts
+- **Input integration** - Leverages product briefs and market research when available
+- **Template-driven** - Uses validated templates for consistent output structure
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Invocation
+
+```bash
+workflow plan-project
+```
+
+### With Input Documents
+
+```bash
+# With product brief as input
+workflow plan-project --input /path/to/product-brief.md
+
+# With multiple inputs
+workflow plan-project --input product-brief.md --input market-research.md
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+The workflow adapts automatically based on project assessment, but key configuration options include:
+
+- **scale_parameters**: Defines story/epic counts for each project level
+- **output_folder**: Where all generated documents are stored
+- **project_name**: Used in document names and templates
+
+## Workflow Structure

+```
+
+## Workflow Process
+
+### Phase 1: Assessment and Routing (Steps 1-5)
+
+- **Project Analysis**: Determines project type (greenfield/brownfield/legacy)
+- **Scope Assessment**: Classifies into 5 levels based on complexity
+- **Document Discovery**: Identifies existing inputs and documentation
+- **Workflow Routing**: Loads appropriate instruction set based on level
+- **Continuation Handling**: Resumes from previous work when applicable
+
+### Phase 2: Level-Specific Planning (Steps vary by level)
+
+**Level 0 (Single Atomic Change)**:
+
+- Creates technical specification only
+- Focuses on implementation details for small changes
+
+**Level 1-2 (Features and Small Systems)**:
+
+- Generates minimal PRD with core sections
+- Creates comprehensive tech-spec
+- Includes basic epic breakdown
+
+**Level 3-4 (Full Products and Platforms)**:
+
+- Produces complete PRD with all sections
+- Generates detailed epic breakdown
+- Includes architect handoff materials
+- Creates traceability mapping
+
+### Phase 3: Validation and Handoff (Final steps)
+
+- **Document Review**: Validates outputs against checklists
+- **Architect Preparation**: For Level 3-4, prepares handoff materials
+- **Next Steps**: Provides guidance for development phase
+
+## Output
+
+### Generated Files
+
+- **Primary output**: PRD.md (except Level 0), tech-spec.md, project-workflow-analysis.md
+- **Supporting files**: epics.md (Level 3-4), PRD-validation-report.md (if validation run)
+
+### Output Structure by Level
+
+**Level 0 - Tech Spec Only**:
+
+1. **Technical Overview** - Implementation approach
+2. **Detailed Design** - Code-level specifications
+3. **Testing Strategy** - Validation approach
+
+**Level 1-2 - Minimal PRD + Tech Spec**:
+
+1. **Problem Statement** - Core issue definition
+2. **Solution Overview** - High-level approach
+3. **Requirements** - Functional and non-functional
+4. **Technical Specification** - Implementation details
+5. **Success Criteria** - Acceptance criteria
+
+**Level 3-4 - Full PRD + Epics**:
+
+1. **Executive Summary** - Project overview
+2. **Problem Definition** - Detailed problem analysis
+3. **Solution Architecture** - Comprehensive solution design
+4. **User Experience** - Journey mapping and wireframes
+5. **Requirements** - Complete functional/non-functional specs
+6. **Epic Breakdown** - Development phases and stories
+7. **Technical Handoff** - Architecture and implementation guidance
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **Input Documents**: Product brief and/or market research (recommended but not required)
+- **Project Configuration**: Valid config.yaml with project_name and output_folder
+- **Assessment Readiness**: Clear understanding of project scope and objectives
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Before Starting
+
+1. **Gather Context**: Collect any existing product briefs, market research, or requirements
+2. **Define Scope**: Have a clear sense of project boundaries and complexity
+3. **Prepare Stakeholders**: Ensure key stakeholders are available for input if needed
+
+### During Execution
+
+1. **Be Honest About Scope**: Accurate assessment ensures appropriate planning depth
+2. **Leverage Existing Work**: Reference previous documents and avoid duplication
+3. **Think Incrementally**: Remember that planning can evolve - start with what you know
+
+### After Completion
+
+1. **Validate Against Checklist**: Use included validation criteria to ensure completeness
+2. **Share with Stakeholders**: Distribute appropriate documents to relevant team members
+3. **Prepare for Architecture**: For Level 3-4 projects, ensure architect has complete context
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Issue**: Workflow creates wrong level of documentation
+
+- **Solution**: Review project assessment and restart with correct scope classification
+- **Check**: Verify the project-workflow-analysis.md reflects actual project complexity
+
+**Issue**: Missing input documents cause incomplete planning
+
+- **Solution**: Gather recommended inputs or proceed with manual context gathering
+- **Check**: Ensure critical business context is captured even without formal documents
+
+**Issue**: Continuation from previous session fails
+
+- **Solution**: Check for existing project-workflow-analysis.md and ensure output folder is correct
+- **Check**: Verify previous session completed at a valid checkpoint
+
+## Customization
+
+To customize this workflow:
+
+1. **Modify Assessment Logic**: Update instructions-router.md to adjust level classification

+# Game Design Document (GDD) Workflow
+
+This folder contains the GDD workflow for game projects, replacing the traditional PRD approach with game-specific documentation.
+
+## Overview
+
+The GDD workflow creates a comprehensive Game Design Document that captures:
+
+- Core gameplay mechanics and pillars
+- Game type-specific elements (RPG systems, platformer movement, puzzle mechanics, etc.)
+- Level design framework
+- Art and audio direction
+- Technical specifications (platform-agnostic)
+- Development epics
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Universal Template
+
+`gdd-template.md` contains sections common to ALL game types:
+
+- Executive Summary
+- Goals and Context
+- Core Gameplay
+- Win/Loss Conditions
+- Progression and Balance
+- Level Design Framework
+- Art and Audio Direction
+- Technical Specs
+- Development Epics
+- Success Metrics
+
+### Game-Type-Specific Injection
+
+The template includes a `{{GAME_TYPE_SPECIFIC_SECTIONS}}` placeholder that gets replaced with game-type-specific content.
+
+### Game Types Registry
+
+`game-types.csv` defines 24+ game types with:
+
+- **id**: Unique identifier (e.g., `action-platformer`, `rpg`, `roguelike`)
+- **name**: Human-readable name
+- **description**: Brief description of the game type
+- **genre_tags**: Searchable tags
+- **fragment_file**: Path to type-specific template fragment
+
+### Game-Type Fragments
+
+Located in `game-types/` folder, these markdown files contain sections specific to each game type:
+
+**action-platformer.md**:
+
+- Movement System (jump mechanics, air control, special moves)
+- Combat System (attack types, combos, enemy AI)
+- Level Design Patterns (platforming challenges, combat arenas)
+- Player Abilities and Unlocks
+
+**rpg.md**:
+
+- Character System (stats, classes, leveling)
+- Inventory and Equipment
+- Quest System
+- World and Exploration
+- NPC and Dialogue
+- Combat System
+
+**puzzle.md**:
+
+- Core Puzzle Mechanics
+- Puzzle Progression
+- Level Structure
+- Player Assistance
+- Replayability
+
+**roguelike.md**:
+
+- Run Structure
+- Procedural Generation
+- Permadeath and Progression
+- Item and Upgrade System
+- Character Selection
+- Difficulty Modifiers
+
+...and 20+ more game types!
+
+## Workflow Flow
+
+1. **Router Detection** (instructions-router.md):
+   - Step 3 asks for project type
+   - If "Game" selected → sets `workflow_type = "gdd"`
+   - Skips standard level classification
+   - Jumps to GDD-specific assessment
+
+2. **Game Type Selection** (instructions-gdd.md Step 1):
+   - Presents 9 common game types + "Other"
+   - Maps selection to `game-types.csv`
+   - Loads corresponding fragment file
+   - Stores `game_type` for injection
+
+3. **Universal GDD Sections** (Steps 2-5, 7-13):
+   - Platform and target audience
+   - Goals and context
+   - Core gameplay (pillars, loop, win/loss)
+   - Mechanics and controls
+   - Progression and balance
+   - Level design
+   - Art and audio
+   - Technical specs
+   - Epics and metrics
+
+4. **Game-Type Injection** (Step 6):
+   - Loads fragment from `game-types/{game_type}.md`
+   - For each `{{placeholder}}` in fragment, elicits details
+   - Injects completed sections into `{{GAME_TYPE_SPECIFIC_SECTIONS}}`
+
+5. **Solutioning Handoff** (Step 14):
+   - Routes to `3-solutioning` workflow
+   - Platform/engine specifics handled by solutioning registry
+   - Game-\* entries in solutioning `registry.csv` provide engine-specific guidance
+
+## Platform vs. Game Type Separation
+
+**GDD (this workflow)**: Game-type specifics
+
+- What makes an RPG an RPG (stats, quests, inventory)
+- What makes a platformer a platformer (jump mechanics, level design)
+- Genre-defining mechanics and systems
+
+**Solutioning (3-solutioning workflow)**: Platform/engine specifics
+
+- Unity vs. Godot vs. Phaser vs. Unreal
+- 2D vs. 3D rendering
+- Physics engines
+- Input systems
+- Platform constraints (mobile, web, console)
+
+This separation allows:
+
+- Single universal GDD regardless of platform
+- Platform decisions made during architecture phase
+- Easy platform pivots without rewriting GDD
+
+## Output
+
+**GDD.md**: Complete game design document with:
+
+- All universal sections filled
+- Game-type-specific sections injected
+- Ready for solutioning handoff
+
+## Example Game Types
+
+| ID                | Name              | Key Sections                                      |
+| ----------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| action-platformer | Action Platformer | Movement, Combat, Level Patterns, Abilities       |
+| rpg               | RPG               | Character System, Inventory, Quests, World, NPCs  |
+| puzzle            | Puzzle            | Puzzle Mechanics, Progression, Level Structure    |
+| roguelike         | Roguelike         | Run Structure, Procgen, Permadeath, Items         |
+| shooter           | Shooter           | Weapon Systems, Enemy AI, Arena Design            |
+| strategy          | Strategy          | Resources, Units, AI, Victory Conditions          |
+| metroidvania      | Metroidvania      | Interconnected World, Ability Gating, Exploration |
+| visual-novel      | Visual Novel      | Branching Story, Dialogue Trees, Choices          |
+| tower-defense     | Tower Defense     | Waves, Tower Types, Placement, Economy            |
+| card-game         | Card Game         | Deck Building, Card Mechanics, Turn System        |
+
+...and 14+ more!
+
+## Adding New Game Types
+
+1. Add row to `game-types.csv`:
+
+   ```csv
+   new-type,New Type Name,"Description",tags,new-type.md
+   ```
+
+2. Create `game-types/new-type.md`:
+
+   ```markdown
+   ## New Type Specific Elements
+
+   ### System Name
+
+   {{system_placeholder}}
+
+   **Details:**
+
+   - Element 1
+   - Element 2
+   ```
+
+3. The workflow automatically uses it!
+
+## Integration with Solutioning
+
+When a game project completes the GDD and moves to solutioning:
+
+1. Solutioning workflow reads `project_type == "game"`
+2. Loads GDD.md instead of PRD.md
+3. Matches game platforms to solutioning `registry.csv` game-\* entries
+4. Provides engine-specific guidance (Unity, Godot, Phaser, etc.)
+5. Generates solution-architecture.md with platform decisions
+6. Creates per-epic tech specs
+
+Example solutioning registry entries:
+
+- `game-unity-2d`: Unity 2D games
+- `game-godot-3d`: Godot 3D games
+- `game-phaser`: Phaser web games
+- `game-unreal-3d`: Unreal Engine games
+- `game-custom-3d-rust`: Custom Rust game engines
+
+## Philosophy
+
+**Game projects are fundamentally different from software products**:
+
+- Gameplay feel > feature lists
+- Playtesting > user testing
+- Game pillars > product goals
+- Mechanics > requirements
+- Fun > utility
+
+The GDD workflow respects these differences while maintaining BMAD Method rigor.

+
+### 171 Technology Combinations
+
+The workflow maintains a registry (`templates/registry.csv`) with 171 pre-defined technology stack combinations:
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- `web-nextjs-ssr-monorepo` → Next.js SSR, TypeScript, monorepo
+- `game-unity-3d` → Unity 3D, C#, monorepo
+- `mobile-react-native` → React Native, TypeScript, cross-platform
+- `backend-fastapi-rest` → FastAPI, Python, REST API
+- `data-ml-training` → PyTorch/TensorFlow, Python, ML pipeline
+
+Each row maps to:
+
+- **template_path**: Architecture document structure (11 templates)
+- **guide_path**: Engine/framework-specific guidance (optional)
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Flow
+
+### Step 0: Prerequisites and Scale Check
+
+Load `project-workflow-analysis.md`:
+
+- Extract: `project_level` (0-4), `project_type` (web/game/mobile/etc.), `field_type` (greenfield/brownfield)
+- Validate: PRD exists, UX spec exists (if UI project)
+- **Skip if Level 0** (single atomic change)
+
+### Step 1: Requirements Analysis
+
+**For Games:**
+
+- Read **GDD** (Game Design Document)
+- Extract: gameplay mechanics, engine (Unity/Godot/etc.), platform, multiplayer
+
+**For Everything Else:**
+
+- Read **PRD** (Product Requirements Document)
+- Extract: FRs, NFRs, epics, stories, integrations
+
+**For UI Projects:**
+
+- Read **UX Specification**
+- Extract: screens, flows, component patterns
+
+### Step 2: User Skill Level
+
+Ask user: Beginner / Intermediate / Expert
+
+- Affects verbosity of generated architecture
+
+### Step 3: Architecture Pattern
+
+Determine:
+
+- Architecture style (monolith, microservices, serverless, etc.)
+- Repository strategy (monorepo, polyrepo, hybrid)
+- Pattern-specific choices (SSR for web, native vs cross-platform for mobile)
+
+### Step 4: Epic Analysis
+
+Analyze PRD epics:
+
+- Identify component boundaries
+- Map domain capabilities
+- Determine service boundaries (if microservices)
+
+### Step 5: Project-Type Questions
+
+Load: `project-types/{project_type}-questions.md`
+
+- Ask project-type-specific questions (not yet engine-specific)
+
+### Step 6: Load Template + Guide
+
+**6.1: Search Registry**
+
+```
+Read: templates/registry.csv
+Match WHERE:
+  - project_types = {determined_type}
+  - languages = {preferred_languages}
+  - architecture_style = {determined_style}
+  - tags overlap with {requirements}
+
+Get: template_path, guide_path
+```
+
+**6.2: Load Template**
+
+```
+Read: templates/{template_path}
+Example: templates/game-engine-architecture.md
+
+This is a COMPLETE document structure with:
+- Standard sections (exec summary, tech stack, data arch, etc.)
+- Pattern-specific sections (Gameplay Systems for games, SSR Strategy for web)
+- All {{placeholders}} to fill
+```
+
+**6.3: Load Guide (if available)**
+
+```
+IF guide_path not empty:
+  Read: templates/{guide_path}
+  Example: templates/game-engine-unity-guide.md
+
+Guide contains:
+- Engine/framework-specific questions
+- Architecture patterns for this tech
+- Common pitfalls
+- Specialist recommendations
+- ADR templates
+```
+
+**Example Flow for Unity Game:**
+
+1. GDD says "Unity 2022 LTS"
+2. Registry match: `game-unity-3d` → `game-engine-architecture.md` + `game-engine-unity-guide.md`
+3. Load complete game architecture template
+4. Load Unity-specific guide
+5. Ask Unity-specific questions (MonoBehaviour vs ECS, ScriptableObjects, etc.)
+6. Fill template placeholders
+7. Generate `solution-architecture.md` + `architecture-decisions.md`
+
+### Step 7: Cohesion Check
+
+Validate architecture quality:
+
+- 100% FR/NFR/Epic/Story coverage
+- Technology table has specific versions
+- No vagueness ("a library", "some framework")
+- Design-level only (no implementation code)
+- Generate Epic Alignment Matrix

+## Guide System
+
+### Engine/Framework-Specific Guides
+
+Guides are **workflow instruction documents** that:
+
+- Ask engine-specific questions
+- Provide architecture pattern recommendations
+- Suggest what sections to emphasize
+- Define ADRs to create
+
+**Guides are NOT:**
+
+- ❌ Reference documentation (use official docs)
+- ❌ Tutorials (how to code)
+- ❌ API references
+
+**Guides ARE:**
+
+- ✅ Question flows for architecture decisions
+- ✅ Pattern recommendations specific to the tech
+- ✅ Common pitfalls to avoid
+- ✅ Specialist recommendations
+
+**Example: game-engine-unity-guide.md**
+
+```markdown
+## Unity Architecture Questions
+
+- MonoBehaviour or ECS?
+- ScriptableObjects for game data?
+- Addressables or Resources?
+
+## Unity Patterns
+
+- Singleton GameManager (when to use)
+- Event-driven communication
+- Object pooling strategy
+
+## Unity-Specific Sections to Include
+
+- Unity Project Configuration
+- Scene Architecture
+- Component Organization
+- Package Dependencies
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+- Caching GetComponent calls
+- Avoiding empty Update methods
+```
+
+---
+
+## ADR Tracking
+
+Architecture Decision Records are maintained separately in `architecture-decisions.md`.
+
+**ADR Format:**
+
+```markdown
+### ADR-001: [Decision Title]
+
+**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
+**Status:** Accepted | Rejected | Superseded
+**Decider:** User | Agent | Collaborative
+
+**Context:**
+What problem are we solving?
+
+**Options Considered:**
+
+1. Option A - pros/cons
+2. Option B - pros/cons
+3. Option C - pros/cons
+
+**Decision:**
+We chose Option X
+
+**Rationale:**
+Why we chose this over others
+
+**Consequences:**
+
+- Positive: ...
+- Negative: ...
+
+**Rejected Options:**
+
+- Option A rejected because: ...
+```
+
+**ADRs are populated throughout the workflow** as decisions are made:
+
+- Step 3: Architecture pattern ADR
+- Step 5: Technology selection ADRs
+- Step 6: Engine-specific ADRs (from guide)
+
+---
+
+## Scale-Adaptive Behavior
+
+| Level | Project Size                     | Architecture Depth          | Specialist Sections        |
+| ----- | -------------------------------- | --------------------------- | -------------------------- |
+| **0** | Single task                      | Skip architecture           | N/A                        |
+| **1** | Small feature (1-10 stories)     | Lightweight, essential only | Inline guidance            |
+| **2** | Small project (5-15 stories)     | Standard depth              | Inline guidance            |
+| **3** | Standard project (12-40 stories) | Comprehensive               | Specialist placeholders    |
+| **4** | Ambitious product (40+ stories)  | Comprehensive + specialists | Specialist recommendations |
+
+---
+
+## Specialist Integration
+
+Pattern-specific specialists are recommended based on project characteristics:
+
+**Game Projects:**
+
+- Audio Designer (music, SFX, adaptive audio)
+- Performance Optimizer (profiling, optimization)

+
+---
+
+## Validation and Quality Gates
+
+### Cohesion Check (Step 7)
+
+**Validates:**
+
+- ✅ 100% FR coverage (or gaps documented)
+- ✅ 100% NFR coverage (or gaps documented)
+- ✅ Every epic has technical foundation
+- ✅ Every story can be implemented with current architecture
+- ✅ Technology table complete with specific versions
+- ✅ No vagueness detected
+- ✅ Design-level only (no over-implementation)
+
+**Outputs:**
+
+- `cohesion-check-report.md` - Pass/fail with detailed gaps
+- `epic-alignment-matrix.md` - Mapping validation
+
+**If cohesion check fails:**
+
+- Document gaps
+- Update architecture
+- Re-run check
+
+---

+# Solution Architecture Workflow Instructions
+
+This workflow generates scale-adaptive solution architecture documentation that replaces the legacy HLA workflow.
+
+```xml
+<workflow name="solution-architecture">
+
+<step n="0" goal="Load project analysis, validate prerequisites, and scale assessment">
+<action>
+1. Read project-workflow-analysis.md:
+   Path: {{project_workflow_analysis_path}}

+3. Validate Prerequisites (BLOCKING):
+
+   Check 1: PRD complete?
+   IF prd_status != complete:
+     ❌ STOP WORKFLOW
+     Output: "PRD is required before solution architecture.
+
+             REQUIRED: Complete PRD with FRs, NFRs, epics, and stories.
+
+             Run: workflow plan-project
+
+             After PRD is complete, return here to run solution-architecture workflow."

+   IF has_user_interface == true AND ux_spec_missing:
+     ❌ STOP WORKFLOW
+     Output: "UX Spec is required before solution architecture for UI projects.
+
+             REQUIRED: Complete UX specification before proceeding.
+
+             Run: workflow ux-spec
+
+             The UX spec will define:
+             - Screen/page structure
+             - Navigation flows

+   IF all prerequisites met:
+     ✅ Prerequisites validated
+     - PRD: complete
+     - UX Spec: {{complete | not_applicable}}
+     Proceeding with solution architecture workflow...
+
+4. Determine workflow path:
+   IF project_level == 0:
+     - Skip solution architecture entirely
+     - Output: "Level 0 project - validate/update tech-spec.md only"
+     - STOP WORKFLOW
+   ELSE:
+     - Proceed with full solution architecture workflow

+<template-output>prerequisites_and_scale_assessment</template-output>
+</step>
+
+<step n="1" goal="Deep requirements document and spec analysis">
+<action>
+1. Determine requirements document type based on project_type:
+   - IF project_type == "game":
+     Primary Doc: Game Design Document (GDD)
+     Path: {{gdd_path}} OR {{prd_path}}/GDD.md
+   - ELSE:
+     Primary Doc: Product Requirements Document (PRD)
+     Path: {{prd_path}}
+
+2. Read primary requirements document:
+   Read: {{determined_path}}
+
+   Extract based on document type:
+
+   IF GDD (Game):
+   - Game concept and genre
+   - Core gameplay mechanics
+   - Player progression systems
+   - Game world/levels/scenes
+   - Characters and entities
+   - Win/loss conditions
+   - Game modes (single-player, multiplayer, etc.)
+   - Technical requirements (platform, performance targets)
+   - Art/audio direction
+   - Monetization (if applicable)

+   IF PRD (Non-Game):
+   - All Functional Requirements (FRs)
+   - All Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)
+   - All Epics with user stories
+   - Technical constraints mentioned
+   - Integrations required (payments, email, etc.)
+
+3. Read UX Spec (if project has UI):
+   IF has_user_interface == true:
+     Read: {{ux_spec_path}}
+
+     Extract:
+     - All screens/pages (list every screen defined)
+     - Navigation structure (how screens connect, patterns)
+     - Key user flows (auth, onboarding, checkout, core features)
+     - UI complexity indicators:
+       * Complex wizards/multi-step forms
+       * Real-time updates/dashboards
+       * Complex state machines
+       * Rich interactions (drag-drop, animations)
+       * Infinite scroll, virtualization needs
+     - Component patterns (from design system/wireframes)
+     - Responsive requirements (mobile-first, desktop-first, adaptive)
+     - Accessibility requirements (WCAG level, screen reader support)
+     - Design system/tokens (colors, typography, spacing if specified)
+     - Performance requirements (page load times, frame rates)
+
+4. Cross-reference requirements + specs:
+   IF GDD + UX Spec (game with UI):
+   - Each gameplay mechanic should have UI representation
+   - Each scene/level should have visual design
+   - Player controls mapped to UI elements
+
+   IF PRD + UX Spec (non-game):
+   - Each epic should have corresponding screens/flows in UX spec
+   - Each screen should support epic stories
+   - FRs should have UI manifestation (where applicable)
+   - NFRs (performance, accessibility) should inform UX patterns
+   - Identify gaps: Epics without screens, screens without epic mapping
+
+5. Detect characteristics:
+   - Project type(s): web, mobile, embedded, game, library, desktop
+   - UI complexity: simple (CRUD) | moderate (dashboards) | complex (wizards/real-time)
+   - Architecture style hints: monolith, microservices, modular, etc.
+   - Repository strategy hints: monorepo, polyrepo, hybrid
+   - Special needs: real-time, event-driven, batch, offline-first
+
+6. Identify what's already specified vs. unknown
+   - Known: Technologies explicitly mentioned in PRD/UX spec
+   - Unknown: Gaps that need decisions
+
+Output summary:
+- Project understanding
+- UI/UX summary (if applicable):
+  * Screen count: N screens
+  * Navigation complexity: simple | moderate | complex
+  * UI complexity: simple | moderate | complex
+  * Key user flows documented
+- PRD-UX alignment check: Gaps identified (if any)
