-# Workflow Status - Universal Entry Point
+# Workflow Status System
+
+The universal entry point for BMM workflows - answers "what should I do now?" for any agent.
## Overview
-The `workflow-status` workflow is the **universal entry point** for all BMad Method (BMM) workflows. It serves as both a status tracker and master router, helping users understand where they are in their project journey and what to do next.
+The workflow status system provides:
-## Purpose
+- **Smart project initialization** - Detects existing work and infers project details
+- **Simple status tracking** - Key-value pairs for instant parsing
+- **Intelligent routing** - Suggests next actions based on current state
+- **Modular workflow paths** - Each project type/level has its own clean definition
-**Primary Functions:**
+## Architecture
-1. **Status Checking**: Read existing workflow status and display current state
-2. **Next Action Recommendation**: Suggest what the user should do next
-3. **Comprehensive Workflow Planning**: Map out ENTIRE workflow journey before executing anything
-4. **Planned Workflow Documentation**: Create status file with complete phase/step roadmap
-5. **Phase Navigation**: Guide users through the 4-phase methodology
-6. **Agent Coordination**: Can be invoked by any agent (bmad-master, analyst, pm)
-
-## When to Use
-
-### Automatic Invocation
-
-Agents should automatically check workflow status when loaded:
-
-- **bmad-master**: Checks status before displaying main menu
-- **analyst**: Checks status before displaying analysis options
-- **pm**: Checks status before displaying planning options
-
-### Manual Invocation
-
-Users can manually run this workflow anytime:
-
-```bash
-bmad analyst workflow-status
-# or
-bmad pm workflow-status
-# or just tell any agent: "check workflow status"
-```
-
-## Workflow Behavior
-
-### Scenario 1: No Status File Exists (New Project)
-
-**The workflow will map out your ENTIRE workflow journey:**
-
-**Step 1: Project Context**
-
-- Determine greenfield vs brownfield
-- Check if brownfield needs documentation
-- Note if `document-project` should be added to plan
-
-**Step 2: Scope Understanding**
-
-- Ask if user knows project level/scope
-- Options:
- - **Yes**: Capture estimated level (0-4)
- - **No**: Defer level determination to Phase 2 (plan-project)
- - **Want analysis first**: Include Phase 1 in plan
-
-**Step 3: Choose Starting Point**
-
-- **Option A**: Full Analysis Phase (brainstorm β research β brief)
-- **Option B**: Skip to Planning (direct to PRD/GDD)
-- **Option C**: Just Show Menu (I'll decide manually)
-
-**Step 4: Build Complete Planned Workflow**
-The workflow builds a comprehensive plan including:
-
-- Phase 1 (if needed): document-project, brainstorm, research, brief
-- Phase 2 (always required): plan-project
-- Phase 3 (if Level 3-4): solution-architecture, tech-specs
-- Phase 4 (always): Full implementation workflow (create-story β story-ready β dev-story β story-approved)
-
-**Step 5: Create Status File**
-
-- Create `bmm-workflow-status.md`
-- Document complete planned workflow in "Planned Workflow Journey" table
-- Set current step: "Workflow Definition Phase"
-- Set next step: First item from planned workflow
-- Provide command to run next step
-
-**Brownfield Special Handling:**
-
-- Checks if codebase is documented
-- Adds `document-project` to planned workflow if needed
-- Does NOT immediately execute it - documents it in the plan first
-
-**Output:**
-
-- Complete workflow roadmap with phases, steps, agents, and descriptions
-- Status file with planned journey documented
-- Clear command to run first step
-- User can reference plan anytime via workflow-status
-
-### Scenario 2: Status File Exists (Project In Progress)
-
-**The workflow will:**
-
-1. Find most recent `bmm-workflow-status.md` file
-2. Read and parse current state:
- - Current phase and progress %
- - Project level and type
- - Phase completion status
- - Implementation progress (if Phase 4)
- - Next recommended action
-3. Display comprehensive status summary
-4. Offer options:
- - **Option 1**: Proceed with recommended action
- - **Option 2**: View detailed status
- - **Option 3**: Change workflow
- - **Option 4**: Display agent menu
- - **Option 5**: Exit
-
-**Phase 4 Special Display:**
-If in Implementation phase, shows:
-
-- BACKLOG story count
-- TODO story (ready for drafting)
-- IN PROGRESS story (being implemented)
-- DONE story count and points
-
-## Status File Detection
-
-**Search Pattern:**
+### Core Components
```
-{output_folder}/bmm-workflow-status.md
+workflow-status/
+βββ workflow.yaml # Main configuration
+βββ instructions.md # Status checker (99 lines)
+βββ workflow-status-template.md # Clean key-value template
+βββ project-levels.yaml # Source of truth for scale definitions
+βββ paths/ # Modular workflow definitions
+ βββ greenfield-level-0.yaml through level-4.yaml
+ βββ brownfield-level-0.yaml through level-4.yaml
+ βββ game-design.yaml
```
-**Versioning:**
-
-- Files are named: `bmm-workflow-status.md`
-- Workflow finds most recent by date
-- Old files can be archived
-
-## Recommended Next Actions
-
-The workflow intelligently suggests next steps based on current state:
-
-**Phase 1 (Analysis):**
-
-- Continue with analysis workflows
-- Or move to `plan-project`
-
-**Phase 2 (Planning):**
-
-- If Level 0-1: Move to Phase 4 (`create-story`)
-- If Level 3-4: Move to Phase 3 (`solution-architecture`)
-
-**Phase 3 (Solutioning):**
-
-- Continue with tech-specs (JIT per epic)
-- Or move to Phase 4 (`create-story`)
-
-**Phase 4 (Implementation):**
-
-- Shows current TODO/IN PROGRESS story
-- Suggests exact next workflow (`story-ready`, `dev-story`, `story-approved`)
-
-## Integration with Agents
-
-### bmad-master
+### Related Workflow
```
-On load:
-1. Run workflow-status check
-2. If status found: Display summary + menu
-3. If no status: Offer to plan workflow
-4. Display master menu with context
+workflow-init/
+βββ workflow.yaml # Initialization configuration
+βββ instructions.md # Smart setup (182 lines)
```
-### analyst
+## How It Works
-```
-On load:
-1. Run workflow-status check
-2. If in Phase 1: Show analysis workflows
-3. If no status: Offer analysis planning
-4. Display analyst menu
+### For New Projects
+
+1. User runs `workflow-status`
+2. System finds no status file
+3. Directs to `workflow-init`
+4. Init workflow:
+ - Scans for existing work (PRDs, code, etc.)
+ - Infers project details from what it finds
+ - Asks minimal questions (name + description)
+ - Confirms understanding in one step
+ - Creates status file with workflow path
+
+### For Existing Projects
+
+1. User runs `workflow-status`
+2. System reads status file
+3. Shows current state and options:
+ - Continue in-progress work
+ - Next required step
+ - Available optional workflows
+4. User picks action
+
+## Status File Format
+
+Simple key-value pairs for instant parsing:
+
+```markdown
+PROJECT_NAME: MyProject
+PROJECT_TYPE: software
+PROJECT_LEVEL: 2
+FIELD_TYPE: greenfield
+CURRENT_PHASE: 2-Planning
+CURRENT_WORKFLOW: prd
+TODO_STORY: story-1.2.md
+IN_PROGRESS_STORY: story-1.1.md
+NEXT_ACTION: Continue PRD
+NEXT_COMMAND: prd
+NEXT_AGENT: pm
```
-### pm
+Any agent can instantly grep what they need:
+
+- SM: `grep 'TODO_STORY:' status.md`
+- DEV: `grep 'IN_PROGRESS_STORY:' status.md`
+- Any: `grep 'NEXT_ACTION:' status.md`
+
+## Project Levels
+
+Source of truth: `/src/modules/bmm/README.md` lines 77-85
+
+- **Level 0**: Single atomic change (1 story)
+- **Level 1**: Small feature (1-10 stories)
+- **Level 2**: Medium project (5-15 stories)
+- **Level 3**: Complex system (12-40 stories)
+- **Level 4**: Enterprise scale (40+ stories)
+
+## Workflow Paths
+
+Each combination has its own file:
+
+- `greenfield-level-X.yaml` - New projects at each level
+- `brownfield-level-X.yaml` - Existing codebases at each level
+- `game-design.yaml` - Game projects (all levels)
+
+Benefits:
+
+- Load only what's needed (60 lines vs 750+)
+- Easy to maintain individual paths
+- Clear separation of concerns
+
+## Smart Detection
+
+The init workflow intelligently detects:
+
+**Project Type:**
+
+- Finds GDD β game
+- Otherwise β software
+
+**Project Level:**
+
+- Reads PRD epic/story counts
+- Analyzes scope descriptions
+- Makes educated guess
+
+**Field Type:**
+
+- Finds source code β brownfield
+- Only planning docs β greenfield
+- Checks git history age
+
+**Documentation Status:**
+
+- Finds index.md β was undocumented
+- Good README β documented
+- Missing docs β needs documentation
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Any Agent Checking Status
```
-On load:
-1. Run workflow-status check
-2. If no status: Offer to run plan-project
-3. If status found: Show current phase progress
-4. Display PM menu
+Agent: workflow-status
+Result: "TODO: story-1.2.md, Next: create-story"
```

```
+## Philosophy
+
+**Less Structure, More Intelligence**
+
+Instead of complex if/else logic:
+
+- Trust the LLM to analyze and infer
+- Use natural language for corrections
+- Keep menus simple and contextual
+- Let intelligence emerge from the model
+
+**Result:** A workflow system that feels like talking to a smart assistant, not filling out a form.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### workflow-init (6 Steps)
+
+1. **Scan for existing work** - Check for docs, code, git history
+2. **Confirm findings** - Show what was detected (if anything)
+3. **Gather info** - Name, description, confirm type/level/field
+4. **Load path file** - Select appropriate workflow definition
+5. **Generate workflow** - Build from path file
+6. **Create status file** - Save and show next step
+
+### workflow-status (4 Steps)
+
+1. **Check for status file** - Direct to init if missing
+2. **Parse status** - Extract key-value pairs
+3. **Display options** - Show current, required, optional
+4. **Handle selection** - Execute user's choice
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Let the AI guess** - It's usually right, user corrects if needed
+2. **One conversation** - Get all info in Step 3 of init
+3. **Simple parsing** - Key-value pairs, not complex structures
+4. **Modular paths** - Each scenario in its own file
+5. **Trust intelligence** - LLM understands context better than rules
+
+## Integration
+
+Other workflows read the status to coordinate:
+
+- `create-story` reads TODO_STORY
+- `dev-story` reads IN_PROGRESS_STORY
+- Any workflow can check CURRENT_PHASE
+- All agents can ask "what should I do?"
+
+The status file is the single source of truth for project state and the hub that keeps all agents synchronized.

-{{/backlog_stories}}
-
-**Total in backlog:** {{backlog_count}} stories
-
-**Instructions:**
-
-- Stories move from BACKLOG β TODO when previous story is complete
-- SM agent uses story information from this table to draft new stories
-- Story order is sequential (Epic 1 stories first, then Epic 2, etc.)
-
-#### TODO (Needs Drafting)
-
-- **Story ID:** {{todo_story_id}}
-- **Story Title:** {{todo_story_title}}
-- **Story File:** `{{todo_story_file}}`
-- **Status:** Not created OR Draft (needs review)
-- **Action:** SM should run `create-story` workflow to draft this story
-
-**Instructions:**
-
-- Only ONE story in TODO at a time
-- Story stays in TODO until user marks it "ready for development"
-- SM reads this section to know which story to draft next
-- After SM creates/updates story, user reviews and approves via `story-ready` workflow
-
-#### IN PROGRESS (Approved for Development)
-
-- **Story ID:** {{current_story_id}}
-- **Story Title:** {{current_story_title}}
-- **Story File:** `{{current_story_file}}`
-- **Story Status:** Ready | In Review
-- **Context File:** `{{current_story_context_file}}`
-- **Action:** DEV should run `dev-story` workflow to implement this story
-
-**Instructions:**
-
-- Only ONE story in IN PROGRESS at a time
-- Story stays here until user marks it "approved" (DoD complete)
-- DEV reads this section to know which story to implement
-- After DEV completes story, user reviews and runs `story-approved` workflow
-
-#### DONE (Completed Stories)
-
-| Story ID | File | Completed Date | Points |
-| -------- | ---- | -------------- | ------ |
-
-{{#done_stories}}
-| {{story_id}} | {{story_file}} | {{completed_date}} | {{story_points}} |
-{{/done_stories}}
-
-**Total completed:** {{done_count}} stories
-**Total points completed:** {{done_points}} points
-
-**Instructions:**
-
-- Stories move here when user runs `story-approved` workflow (DEV agent)
-- Immutable record of completed work
-- Used for velocity tracking and progress reporting
-
-#### Epic/Story Summary
-
-**Total Epics:** {{total_epics}}
-**Total Stories:** {{total_stories}}
-**Stories in Backlog:** {{backlog_count}}
-**Stories in TODO:** {{todo_count}} (should always be 0 or 1)
-**Stories in IN PROGRESS:** {{in_progress_count}} (should always be 0 or 1)
-**Stories DONE:** {{done_count}}
-
-**Epic Breakdown:**
-{{#epics}}
-
-- Epic {{epic_number}}: {{epic_title}} ({{epic_done_stories}}/{{epic_total_stories}} stories complete)
- {{/epics}}
-
-#### State Transition Logic
-
-**Story Lifecycle:**
-
-```
-BACKLOG β TODO β IN PROGRESS β DONE
-```
-
-**Transition Rules:**
-
-1. **BACKLOG β TODO**: Automatically when previous story moves TODO β IN PROGRESS
-2. **TODO β IN PROGRESS**: User runs SM agent `story-ready` workflow after reviewing drafted story
-3. **IN PROGRESS β DONE**: User runs DEV agent `story-approved` workflow after DoD complete
-
-**Important:**
-
-- SM agent NEVER searches for "next story" - always reads TODO section
-- DEV agent NEVER searches for "current story" - always reads IN PROGRESS section
-- Both agents update this status file after their workflows complete

-**π Welcome to BMad Method Workflows, {user_name}!**
-
-No workflow status file found. Let's plan your complete workflow journey.
-
-This step will map out your ENTIRE workflow before executing anything
-Goal: Document planned phases, current step, and next step in status file
-
-**Step 1: Project Context**
-
-**Is this a new or existing codebase?**
-a. **Greenfield** - Starting from scratch
-b. **Brownfield** - Adding to existing codebase
-
-Your choice (a/b):
-
-Capture field_type = "greenfield" or "brownfield"
-
-
- **Step 2: Brownfield Documentation Status**
-
-Do you have:
-
-- Architecture documentation?
-- Code structure overview?
-- API documentation?
-- Clear understanding of existing patterns?
-
-Options:
-a. **Yes** - I have good documentation
-b. **No** - Codebase is undocumented or poorly documented
-c. **Partial** - Some docs exist but incomplete
-
-Your choice (a/b/c):
-
-Capture brownfield_docs_status
-
-
-
-Set needs_documentation = true
-
-
-
- Set needs_documentation = false
-
-
-
-
- Set needs_documentation = false
-
-
-**Step 3: Project Type**
-
-What type of project are you building?
-
-1. **Game** - Video games for PC, console, mobile, or web
-2. **Web Application** - Websites, web apps, SPAs
-3. **Mobile Application** - iOS, Android apps
-4. **Desktop Application** - Windows, macOS, Linux apps
-5. **Backend/API Service** - Backend services, APIs, microservices
-6. **Library/SDK** - Reusable libraries, packages, SDKs
-7. **CLI Tool** - Command-line tools and utilities
-8. **Embedded System** - IoT, firmware, embedded devices
-9. **Data/ML/Analytics** - Data pipelines, ML projects, analytics
-10. **Browser Extension** - Chrome, Firefox extensions
-11. **Infrastructure/DevOps** - Terraform, K8s operators, CI/CD
-12. **Other** - Describe your project type
-
-Your choice (1-12):
-
-Capture project_type_choice
-
-Map choice to project_type_id using project-types.csv:
-
-- 1 β game
-- 2 β web
-- 3 β mobile
-- 4 β desktop
-- 5 β backend
-- 6 β library
-- 7 β cli
-- 8 β embedded
-- 9 β data
-- 10 β extension
-- 11 β infra
-- 12 β custom (capture description)
-
-Set project_type = mapped project_type_id
-
-**Step 4: User Interface Components**
-
-Does your project involve user-facing UI components?
-
-a. **Yes** - Project has user interface elements (web pages, mobile screens, desktop UI, game UI)
-b. **No** - Backend-only, API, CLI, or no visual interface
-
-Your choice (a/b):
-
-Capture has_ui_components
-
-
- Set needs_ux_workflow = true
-
-
-
-
- Set needs_ux_workflow = false
-
-
-
-
-**Step 6: Project Scope Assessment**
-
-Do you already know your project's approximate size/scope?
-
-a. **Yes** - I can describe the general scope
-b. **No** - Not sure yet, need help determining it
-c. **Want analysis first** - Do brainstorming/research before deciding
-
-Your choice (a/b/c):
-
-Capture scope_knowledge
-
-
- **Based on the descriptions above, what level best describes your project?**
-
-0. Single atomic change (bug fix, tiny feature)
-1. Small coherent feature (2-3 stories)
-2. Medium project (multiple features/epics)
-3. Complex system (subsystems, architectural decisions)
-4. Enterprise scale (multiple products/systems)
-
-Your estimated level (0-4):
-
-Capture estimated_level
-Set level_known = true
-
-
-
-
-Set level_known = false
-Set estimated_level = "TBD"
-
-
-**Step 7: Choose Your Starting Point**
-
-Now let's determine where you want to begin:
-
-**Option A: Full Analysis Phase First**
-
-- Brainstorming (explore ideas, validate concepts)
-- Research (market, technical, competitive analysis)
-- Product/Game Brief (strategic foundation)
- β Best for: New ideas, uncertain requirements, need validation
-
-**Option B: Skip to Planning**
-
-- You know what to build
-- Jump to PRD/GDD/Tech-Spec generation
- β Best for: Clear requirements, existing ideas
-
-**Option C: Just Show Menu**
-
-- Create status file with planned workflow
-- I'll manually choose which workflow to run first
- β Best for: Experienced users, custom paths
-
-Your choice (A/B/C):
-
-Capture starting_point
-
-
- **Full Analysis - Choose your first workflow:**
-
-1. **brainstorm-project** (Analyst) - Explore software solution ideas
-2. **brainstorm-game** (Game Designer) - Game concept ideation
-3. **research** (Analyst) - Market/technical research
-4. **product-brief** (Analyst) - Strategic product foundation
-5. **game-brief** (Game Designer) - Game design foundation
-
-Which workflow? (1-5):
-
-Capture first_workflow
-Set include_analysis = true
-
-
-
- Set include_analysis = false
- Set first_workflow = "plan-project"
-
-
-
- Set include_analysis = false
