# RTE-Agent Change Navigation Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** To systematically guide the RTE-Agent and user through the analysis and planning required when a significant change (pivot, tech issue, missing requirement, failed story) is identified during the BMAD workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
**Instructions:** Review each item with the user. Mark `[x]` for completed/confirmed, `[N/A]` if not applicable, or add notes for discussion points.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Understand the Trigger & Context
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Identify Triggering Story:** Clearly identify the story (or stories) that revealed the issue.
|
||||
- [ ] **Define the Issue:** Articulate the core problem precisely.
|
||||
- [ ] Is it a technical limitation/dead-end?
|
||||
- [ ] Is it a newly discovered requirement?
|
||||
- [ ] Is it a fundamental misunderstanding of existing requirements?
|
||||
- [ ] Is it a necessary pivot based on feedback or new information?
|
||||
- [ ] Is it a failed/abandoned story needing a new approach?
|
||||
- [ ] **Assess Initial Impact:** Describe the immediate observed consequences (e.g., blocked progress, incorrect functionality, non-viable tech).
|
||||
- [ ] **Gather Evidence:** Note any specific logs, error messages, user feedback, or analysis that supports the issue definition.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Epic Impact Assessment
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Analyze Current Epic:**
|
||||
- [ ] Can the current epic containing the trigger story still be completed?
|
||||
- [ ] Does the current epic need modification (story changes, additions, removals)?
|
||||
- [ ] Should the current epic be abandoned or fundamentally redefined?
|
||||
- [ ] **Analyze Future Epics:**
|
||||
- [ ] Review all remaining planned epics.
|
||||
- [ ] Does the issue require changes to planned stories in future epics?
|
||||
- [ ] Does the issue invalidate any future epics?
|
||||
- [ ] Does the issue necessitate the creation of entirely new epics?
|
||||
- [ ] Should the order/priority of future epics be changed?
|
||||
- [ ] **Summarize Epic Impact:** Briefly document the overall effect on the project's epic structure and flow.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Artifact Conflict & Impact Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Review PRD:**
|
||||
- [ ] Does the issue conflict with the core goals or requirements stated in the PRD?
|
||||
- [ ] Does the PRD need clarification or updates based on the new understanding?
|
||||
- [ ] **Review Architecture Document:**
|
||||
- [ ] Does the issue conflict with the documented architecture (components, patterns, tech choices)?
|
||||
- [ ] Are specific components/diagrams/sections impacted?
|
||||
- [ ] Does the technology list need updating?
|
||||
- [ ] Do data models or schemas need revision?
|
||||
- [ ] Are external API integrations affected?
|
||||
- [ ] **Review Frontend Spec (if applicable):**
|
||||
- [ ] Does the issue conflict with the FE architecture, component library choice, or UI/UX design?
|
||||
- [ ] Are specific FE components or user flows impacted?
|
||||
- [ ] **Review Other Artifacts (if applicable):**
|
||||
- [ ] Consider impact on deployment scripts, IaC, monitoring setup, etc.
|
||||
- [ ] **Summarize Artifact Impact:** List all artifacts requiring updates and the nature of the changes needed.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Path Forward Evaluation
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Option 1: Direct Adjustment / Integration:**
|
||||
- [ ] Can the issue be addressed by modifying/adding future stories within the existing plan?
|
||||
- [ ] Define the scope and nature of these adjustments.
|
||||
- [ ] Assess feasibility, effort, and risks of this path.
|
||||
- [ ] **Option 2: Potential Rollback:**
|
||||
- [ ] Would reverting completed stories significantly simplify addressing the issue?
|
||||
- [ ] Identify specific stories/commits to consider for rollback.
|
||||
- [ ] Assess the effort required for rollback.
|
||||
- [ ] Assess the impact of rollback (lost work, data implications).
|
||||
- [ ] Compare the net benefit/cost vs. Direct Adjustment.
|
||||
- [ ] **Option 3: PRD MVP Review & Potential Re-scoping:**
|
||||
- [ ] Is the original PRD MVP still achievable given the issue and constraints?
|
||||
- [ ] Does the MVP scope need reduction (removing features/epics)?
|
||||
- [ ] Do the core MVP goals need modification?
|
||||
- [ ] Are alternative approaches needed to meet the original MVP intent?
|
||||
- [ ] **Extreme Case:** Does the issue necessitate a fundamental replan or potentially a new PRD V2 (to be handled by PM)?
|
||||
- [ ] **Select Recommended Path:** Based on the evaluation, agree on the most viable path forward.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Sprint Change Proposal Components
|
||||
|
||||
_(Ensure all agreed-upon points from previous sections are captured in the proposal)_
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Identified Issue Summary:** Clear, concise problem statement.
|
||||
- [ ] **Epic Impact Summary:** How epics are affected.
|
||||
- [ ] **Artifact Adjustment Needs:** List of documents to change.
|
||||
- [ ] **Recommended Path Forward:** Chosen solution with rationale.
|
||||
- [ ] **PRD MVP Impact:** Changes to scope/goals (if any).
|
||||
- [ ] **High-Level Action Plan:** Next steps for stories/updates.
|
||||
- [ ] **Agent Handoff Plan:** Identify roles needed (PM, Arch, Design Arch, POSM).
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Final Review & Handoff
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Review Checklist:** Confirm all relevant items were discussed.
|
||||
- [ ] **Review Sprint Change Proposal:** Ensure it accurately reflects the discussion and decisions.
|
||||
- [ ] **User Approval:** Obtain explicit user approval for the proposal.
|
||||
- [ ] **Confirm Next Steps:** Reiterate the handoff plan and the next actions to be taken by specific agents.

# The BMAD-Method (Breakthrough Method of Agile (ai-driven) Development) - BETA-V3
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to jump right in, here are the [Setup Instructions](./instruction.md) For IDE, WEB and Task setup.
|
||||
|
||||
## BETA-V3: Advancing AI-Driven Development
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome to **BETA-V3** of the BMAD Method! This version represents a significant evolution, building upon the foundations of V2 and introducing a more refined and comprehensive suite of agents, templates, and processes. The `BETA-V3` folder contains the latest implementation, designed to enhance collaboration, documentation, and the overall efficiency of developing projects with AI.
|
||||
|
||||
While `LEGACY-V1` and `CURRENT-V2` folders exist for historical reference, **BETA-V3** is the focus of ongoing development and represents the most advanced iteration of the BMAD Method.
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom Modes and Welcome Contributions
|
||||
|
||||
The BMAD community's input is invaluable! We encourage you to contribute by submitting Pull Requests for custom agent modes, new templates, or checklist enhancements tailored for the `BETA-V3` system. Whether for Web UIs (like Gemini Gems/Custom GPTs) or IDE custom modes, your contributions help expand our AI team's capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
The Custom Agents in `BETA-V3` continue to follow best practices for LLM prompting (e.g., clear roles, instructions, and context) ensuring they work effectively across various AI platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔥 Demonstration Walkthrough 🔥
|
||||
|
||||
While a dedicated BETA-V3 video walkthrough is planned, the principles of interactive, phased agent collaboration are well-illustrated in the [V2 Video Walkthrough](https://youtu.be/p0barbrWgQA?si=PD1RyWNVDpdF3QJf). The [`V2-FULL-DEMO-WALKTHROUGH`](../V2-FULL-DEMO-WALKTHROUGH/demo.md) folder (relative to the root) showcases the power of the BMAD Method's step-by-step, human-in-the-loop approach. BETA-V3 further refines this interactivity and documentation linkage.
|
||||
|
||||
## What's New in BETA-V3?
|
||||
|
||||
BETA-V3 introduces several key enhancements to streamline your AI-driven development lifecycle:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Enhanced Agent Roles & Phases:** The core agents (Analyst, PM, Architect) have more clearly defined operational phases, inputs, and outputs, leading to smoother transitions.
|
||||
- **New Specialized Agents:**
|
||||
- **Design Architect:** A dedicated agent for projects with User Interfaces, handling UI/UX Specification and Frontend Technical Architecture in distinct modes.
|
||||
- **Technical POSM (Product Owner & Scrum Master):** A unified agent with critical new capabilities:
|
||||
- **Master Checklist Phase:** Validates all project documentation against a comprehensive checklist (`po-master-checklist.txt`).
|
||||
- **Librarian Phase:** Decomposes large documents into a granular, indexed (`docs/index.md`) documentation ecosystem within your project's `docs/` folder, optimizing for AI agent consumption and human navigability.
|
||||
- **Story Creator Phase:** Autonomously generates detailed, developer-ready story files using the granular documentation.
|
||||
- **Comprehensive & Updated Templates:** New and revised templates support the expanded agent capabilities, including:
|
||||
- `architecture-tmpl.txt` (for System Architecture)
|
||||
- `front-end-spec-tmpl.txt` (for UI/UX Specifications)
|
||||
- `front-end-architecture-tmpl.txt` (for Frontend Technical Architecture)
|
||||
- `story-tmpl.txt` (for developer stories)
|
||||
- And others, located in `BETA-V3/gems-and-gpts/templates/`.
|
||||
- **Detailed Checklists:** New and updated checklists ensure quality and completeness at each stage:
|
||||
- `pm-checklist.txt`
|
||||
- `architect-checklist.txt`
|
||||
- `frontend-architecture-checklist.txt`
|
||||
- `po-master-checklist.txt` (used by the POSM)
|
||||
- Located in `BETA-V3/gems-and-gpts/checklists/`.
|
||||
- **Streamlined Workflow & Documentation Focus:** A more explicit, iterative workflow incorporating all agents, with a strong emphasis on creating and maintaining a robust, granular, and indexed documentation structure to support development.
|
||||
- **Clear Agent Handoffs:** Improved clarity on what each agent produces and what the subsequent agent expects as input.
|
||||
- **Multi-Mode Agents:** Continued philosophy of agents operating in distinct modes or phases tailored to specific tasks.
|
||||
- **IDE and Web UI Parity:** Agent instructions and templates are designed for use in both web-based UIs (see `BETA-V3/gems-and-gpts/`) and IDE custom modes (guidance for IDE setup in `BETA-V3/agents/instructions.md` - _path to be confirmed or created_).
|
||||
|
||||
## Guiding Principles
|
||||
|
||||
- **No Rules Required (Flexibility):** The BMad Method agents are designed to be self-contained or reference project-specific documents, minimizing reliance on proprietary AI platform rule systems. This promotes flexibility and avoids platform lock-in.
|
||||
- **IDE Integration:** For optimal experience, especially for file system operations (like the POSM Librarian phase) and coding tasks, an IDE with custom agent support (e.g., Cursor, RooCode) is recommended. Instructions for setting up custom modes can be found in `BETA-V3/agents/instructions.md` (_path to be confirmed/created_).
|
||||
- **Iterative & Collaborative:** The method emphasizes a step-by-step, interactive process where agents collaborate with the user, pausing for input at key decision points.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is the BMad Method?
|
||||
|
||||
The BMad Method is a revolutionary approach that elevates "vibe coding" to "Vibe CEOing." It provides a structured yet flexible framework to plan, execute, and manage software projects using a team of specialized AI agents. BETA-V3 represents the latest advancement, enabling users to build faster, cheaper, and more effectively by leveraging AI from ideation through to implementation-ready developer stories.
|
||||
|
||||
The method is designed to be tool-agnostic in principle, with agent instructions and workflows adaptable to various AI platforms and IDEs.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
2. **PM (`2-pm.md`):** Project Brief/idea -> **PRD** (Epics, Stories). Recommends Design Architect if UI.
|
||||
3. **Architect (`3-architect.md`):** PRD -> **System Architecture Document**.
|
||||
4. **Design Architect (`4-design-architect.md`):** (If UI) PRD, System Arch -> **UI/UX Spec**, then **Frontend Architecture Doc**. Optionally, an AI Frontend Generation Prompt.
|
||||
5. **POSM (`5-posm.md`) - Master Checklist Phase:** Validates all docs -> **Master Checklist Report**.
|
||||
6. _(User/Other Agents apply changes based on POSM's report to source documents)_.
|
||||
7. **POSM (`5-posm.md`) - Librarian Phase:** Processes updated docs -> **Granular `docs/` files & `docs/index.md`**.
|
||||
8. **POSM (`5-posm.md`) - Story Creator Phase:** Granular docs & PRD -> **Developer Story Files**.
|
||||
9. **Developer Agents:** Implement stories.
|
||||
10. **Ongoing Advisory:** Architect (Master Architect Advisory) & PM (Product Advisor) provide continuous support.
|
||||
|
||||
_This is a guideline; the BMAD method is iterative._
|
||||
|
||||
## Template & Tooling Information (BETA-V3)

# Role: RTE-Agent (Change Navigator & Integration Expert)
|
||||
|
||||
## Critical Start Up Operating Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
<rule>When conversing, do not provide references to sections or documents the user provided, as this will be very confusing for the user as they generally are not understandable the way you provide them as your sectioning is not tied to navigable sections as documented</rule>
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Trigger & Context:** Confirm change trigger. User explains issue & perceived impact.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Checklist Operation:** State phase is **[Change Navigation & Integration Phase](#change-navigation--integration-phase)**. Inform user of interactive `docs/checklists/rte-checklist.md` usage for analysis and _drafting proposed changes_.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Interaction Mode (Checklist & Drafting):** Ask user: Incremental (default, section by section analysis, then propose changes) or YOLO (batched analysis & change proposals)? Confirm choice.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Principles:** Act as neutral facilitator & PM/Technical expert for change integration. Guide objective assessment via checklist. _Draft specific, actionable updates_ to artifacts (stories, architecture). Focus on achievable MVP. Use project artifacts (e.g., from `docs/`) for checklist completion & change drafting.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Change Navigation & Integration Phase
|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
- Guide change response using `docs/checklists/rte-checklist.md`.
|
||||
- Analyze impacts (epics, artifacts, MVP) via checklist structure.
|
||||
- Explore solutions (adjust, rollback, rescope) as prompted by checklist.
|
||||
- **Draft specific proposed updates** to affected artifacts (epics, stories, architecture docs) based on analysis.
|
||||
- Produce "Sprint Change Proposal" containing analysis and **proposed edits** for user approval.
|
||||
- Ensure clear handoff _if_ changes require fundamental replanning (back to PM/Arch).
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase Persona
|
||||
|
||||
- **Role:** Checklist-Driven Change Facilitator, Analyst, Strategist, **Acting PM/Technical Editor for Changes**.
|
||||
- **Style:** Analytical, objective, structured, collaborative; completes `docs/checklists/rte-checklist.md` thoroughly with user, **proposes concrete artifact edits**.
|
||||
- **Expertise:** Agile/BMAD, impact/risk analysis, **PRD/epic/story writing, technical documentation updating**; skilled in guiding checklist use and **drafting specific change implementations**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Initiate Checklist:** Confirm context. Announce start of `docs/checklists/rte-checklist.md` process, per chosen interaction mode.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Execute Checklist Analysis:** Interactively complete `docs/checklists/rte-checklist.md` Sections 1-4 (Context, Epic Impact, Artifact Conflict, Path Evaluation). For each item:
|
||||
|
||||
- Present prompt to user.
|
||||
- Request/gather information and analyze relevant artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture docs - likely found in `docs/` or project structure).
|
||||
- Discuss findings, mark item status (`[x]`, `[N/A]`, notes). Agree on Recommended Path (checklist Section 4).
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Draft Proposed Changes:** Based on the completed checklist analysis and the agreed path forward (excluding fundamental replans):
|
||||
|
||||
- Identify specific artifacts requiring updates (epics, stories, architecture doc sections, etc.).
|
||||
- **Draft the proposed changes directly.** Examples:
|
||||
- Revising story text or acceptance criteria.
|
||||
- Adding/removing/reordering stories within epics.
|
||||
- Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., textual description or simplified Mermaid update).
|
||||
- Updating technology lists or specific configuration details.
|
||||
- Discuss and refine these proposed edits interactively with the user.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Generate Proposal with Edits:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Synthesize the checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the **agreed-upon proposed edits** into the "Sprint Change Proposal" (incorporating checklist Section 5 components).
|
||||
- The proposal should clearly present:
|
||||
- The analysis summary (Issue, Impact, Path Rationale).
|
||||
- **The specific proposed edits** for each affected artifact.
|
||||
- Present the complete proposal draft for final user review.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Finalize & Handoff:** Obtain user approval for the Sprint Change Proposal (including the specific edits).
|
||||
- Provide final document.
|
||||
- **If approved edits cover all necessary actions:** State completion or handoff to POSM for organization.
|
||||
- **If fundamental replan needed (rare case):** State next steps involve engaging PM/Architect with the proposal as context/prompt (per checklist Section 6).
|
||||
|
||||
### Output Deliverables
|
||||
|
||||
- Primary: **Sprint Change Proposal** (markdown), containing analysis summary and **specific proposed edits** to artifacts.
|
||||
- Implicit: Annotated `docs/checklists/rte-checklist.md` reflecting discussion.
|
||||
|
||||
### Output Formatting Critical Rules
|
||||
|
||||
**General Presentation & Content:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Present the Sprint Change Proposal (drafts or final) in a clean, well-structured, and complete markdown format.
|
||||
- Clearly delineate between analysis summary and proposed edits.
|
||||
- DO NOT truncate information. Strive for clarity and directness.
|
||||
|
||||
**Markdown Usage and Structure (to prevent nesting issues and ensure correct rendering):**
|
||||
|
||||
- **DO NOT** wrap the entire document output in additional outer markdown code blocks (e.g., a single \`\`\` encompassing everything). This is critical.
|
||||
- **DO** properly format all individual elements within the document, including inline sections and partial updates, for correct rendering. This is critical to prevent nested markdown issues and ensure correct rendering in various UIs or markdown processors. This includes:
|
||||
- Code snippets (if any, including proposed story text) must be enclosed in appropriate language-specific \`\`\` blocks.
|
||||
- Tables (if any) must use proper markdown table syntax.
|
||||
- Use standard markdown formatting (headings, lists, bolding) for clarity and structure.

# {Project Name} Architecture Document
|

|
||||
## Introduction / Preamble
|
||||
|
||||
{This document outlines the overall project architecture, including backend systems, shared services, and non-UI specific concerns. Its primary goal is to serve as the guiding architectural blueprint for AI-driven development, ensuring consistency and adherence to chosen patterns and technologies.
|
||||
|
||||
**Relationship to Frontend Architecture:**
|
||||
If the project includes a significant user interface, a separate Frontend Architecture Document (typically named `front-end-architecture-tmpl.txt` or similar, and linked in the "Key Reference Documents" section) details the frontend-specific design and MUST be used in conjunction with this document. Core technology stack choices documented herein (see "Definitive Tech Stack Selections") are definitive for the entire project, including any frontend components.}

{ This section outlines the definitive technology choices for the project. These selections should be made after a thorough understanding of the project's requirements, components, data models, and core workflows. The Architect Agent should guide the user through these decisions, ensuring each choice is justified and recorded accurately in the table below.
|
||||
|
||||
This table is the **single source of truth** for all technology selections. Other architecture documents (e.g., Frontend Architecture) must refer to these choices and elaborate on their specific application rather than re-defining them.
|

## Error Handling Strategy
|

|
||||
- **General Approach:** {e.g., Use exceptions, return error codes/tuples, specific error types.}
|
||||
- **General Approach:** {e.g., Use exceptions as primary mechanism, return error codes/tuples for specific modules, clearly defined custom error types hierarchy.}
|
||||
- **Logging:**
|
||||
- Library/Method: {e.g., `console.log/error`, Python `logging` module, dedicated logging library}
|
||||
- Format: {e.g., JSON, plain text}
|
||||
- Levels: {e.g., DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR}
|
||||
- Context: {What contextual information should be included?}
|
||||
- Library/Method: {e.g., `console.log/error` (Node.js), Python `logging` module with `structlog`, dedicated logging library like `Pino` or `Serilog`. Specify the chosen library.}
|
||||
- Format: {e.g., JSON, plain text with timestamp and severity. JSON is preferred for structured logging.}
|
||||
- Levels: {e.g., DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, CRITICAL. Specify standard usage for each.}
|
||||
- Context: {What contextual information must be included? e.g., Correlation ID, User ID (if applicable and safe), Service Name, Operation Name, Key Parameters (sanitized).}
|
||||
- **Specific Handling Patterns:**
|
||||
- External API Calls: {e.g., Use `
|
||||
- External API Calls: {Define retry mechanisms (e.g., exponential backoff, max retries - specify library if one is mandated like `Polly` or `tenacity`), circuit breaker pattern usage (e.g., using `resilience4j` or equivalent - specify if and how), timeout configurations (connect and read timeouts). How are API errors (4xx, 5xx) translated or propagated?}
|
||||
- Internal Errors / Business Logic Exceptions: {How to convert internal errors to user-facing errors if applicable (e.g., generic error messages with a unique ID for support, specific error codes). Are there defined business exception classes?}
|
||||
- Transaction Management: {Approach to ensure data consistency in case of errors during multi-step operations, e.g., database transactions (specify isolation levels if non-default), Saga pattern for distributed transactions (specify orchestrator/choreography and compensation logic).}
|
||||
|
||||
## Coding Standards
|
||||
|
||||
{These standards are mandatory for all code generation by AI agents and human developers. Deviations are not permitted unless explicitly approved and documented as an exception in this section or a linked addendum.}
|
||||
|
||||
- **Primary Runtime(s):** {e.g., Node.js 22.x, Python Runtime for Lambda - refer to Definitive Tech Stack}
|
||||
- **Style Guide & Linter:** {e.g., ESLint with Airbnb config + Prettier; Black, Flake8, MyPy; Go fmt, golint. Specify chosen tools and link to configuration files (e.g., `.eslintrc.js`, `pyproject.toml`). Linter rules are mandatory and must not be disabled without cause.}
|
||||
- **Naming Conventions:**
|
||||
- Variables: `{e.g., camelCase (JavaScript/TypeScript/Java), snake_case (Python/Ruby)}`
|
||||
- Functions/Methods: `{e.g., camelCase (JavaScript/TypeScript/Java), snake_case (Python/Ruby)}`
|
||||
- Classes/Types/Interfaces: `{e.g., PascalCase}`
|
||||
- Constants: `{e.g., UPPER_SNAKE_CASE}`
|
||||
- Files: `{e.g., kebab-case.ts (TypeScript), snake_case.py (Python), PascalCase.java (Java). Be specific per language.}`
|
||||
- Modules/Packages: `{e.g., camelCase or snake_case. Be specific per language.}`
|
||||
- **File Structure:** Adhere to the layout defined in the "Project Structure" section and the Frontend Architecture Document if applicable.
|
||||
- **Unit Test File Organization:** {e.g., `*.test.ts`/`*.spec.ts` co-located with source files; `test_*.py` in a parallel `tests/` directory. Specify chosen convention.}
|
||||
- **Asynchronous Operations:** {e.g., Always use `async`/`await` in TypeScript/JavaScript/Python for promise-based operations; Goroutines/Channels in Go with clear patterns for error propagation and completion; Java `CompletableFuture` or Project Reactor/RxJava if used.}
|
||||
- **Type Safety:** {e.g., Leverage TypeScript strict mode (all flags enabled); Python type hints (enforced by MyPy); Go static typing; Java generics and avoidance of raw types. All new code must be strictly typed.}
|
||||
- _Type Definitions:_ {Location, e.g., `src/common/types.ts`, shared packages, or co-located. Policy on using `any` or equivalent (strongly discouraged, requires justification).}
|
||||
- **Comments & Documentation:**
|
||||
- Code Comments: {Expectations for code comments: Explain _why_, not _what_, for complex logic. Avoid redundant comments. Use standard formats like JSDoc, TSDoc, Python docstrings (Google/NumPy style), GoDoc, JavaDoc.}
|
||||
- READMEs: {Each module/package/service should have a README explaining its purpose, setup, and usage if not trivial.}
|
||||
- **Dependency Management:** {Tool used - e.g., npm/yarn, pip/poetry, Go modules, Maven/Gradle. Policy on adding new dependencies (e.g., approval process, check for existing alternatives, security vulnerability scans). Specify versioning strategy (e.g., prefer pinned versions, use tilde `~` for patches, caret `^` for minor updates - be specific).}
|
||||
|
||||
### Detailed Language & Framework Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
{For each primary language and framework selected in the "Definitive Tech Stack Selections", the following specific conventions **must** be adhered to. If a chosen technology is not listed below, it implies adherence to its standard, widely accepted best practices and the general guidelines in this document.}
|
||||
|
||||
#### `{Language/Framework 1 Name, e.g., TypeScript/Node.js}` Specifics:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Immutability:** `{e.g., "Always prefer immutable data structures. Use `Readonly<T>`, `ReadonlyArray<T>`, `as const` for object/array literals. Avoid direct mutation of objects/arrays passed as props or state. Consider libraries like Immer for complex state updates."}`
|
||||
- **Functional vs. OOP:** `{e.g., "Favor functional programming constructs (map, filter, reduce, pure functions) for data transformation and business logic where practical. Use classes for entities, services with clear state/responsibilities, or when framework conventions (e.g., NestJS) demand."}`
|
||||
- **Error Handling Specifics:** `{e.g., "Always use `Error`objects or extensions thereof for`throw`. Ensure `Promise`rejections are always`Error`objects. Use custom error classes inheriting from a base`AppError` for domain-specific errors."}`
|
||||
- **Null/Undefined Handling:** `{e.g., "Strict null checks (`strictNullChecks`) must be enabled. Avoid `!` non-null assertion operator; prefer explicit checks, optional chaining (`?.`), or nullish coalescing (`??`). Define clear strategies for optional function parameters and return types."}`
|
||||
- **Module System:** `{e.g., "Use ESModules (`import`/`export`) exclusively. Avoid CommonJS (`require`/`module.exports`) in new code."}`
|
||||
- **Logging Specifics:** `{e.g., "Use the chosen structured logging library. Log messages must include a correlation ID. Do not log sensitive PII. Use appropriate log levels."}`
|
||||
- **Framework Idioms (e.g., for NestJS/Express):** `{e.g., "NestJS: Always use decorators for defining modules, controllers, services, DTOs. Adhere strictly to the defined module structure and dependency injection patterns. Express: Define middleware patterns, routing structure."}`
|
||||
- **Key Library Usage Conventions:** `{e.g., "When using Axios, create a single configured instance. For date/time, use {date-fns/Luxon/Day.js} and avoid native `Date` object for manipulations."}`
|
||||
- **Code Generation Anti-Patterns to Avoid:** `{e.g., "Avoid overly nested conditional logic (max 2-3 levels). Avoid single-letter variable names (except for trivial loop counters like `i`, `j`, `k`). Do not write code that bypasses framework security features (e.g., ORM query builders)."}`
|
||||
|
||||
#### `{Language/Framework 2 Name, e.g., Python}` Specifics:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Immutability:** `{e.g., "Use tuples for immutable sequences. For classes, consider `@dataclass(frozen=True)`. Be mindful of mutable default arguments."}`
|
||||
- **Functional vs. OOP:** `{e.g., "Employ classes for representing entities and services. Use functions for stateless operations. List comprehensions/generator expressions are preferred over `map/filter` for readability."}`
|
||||
- **Error Handling Specifics:** `{e.g., "Always raise specific, custom exceptions inheriting from a base `AppException`. Use `try-except-else-finally`blocks appropriately. Avoid broad`except Exception:` clauses without re-raising or specific handling."}`
|
||||
- **Resource Management:** `{e.g., "Always use `with` statements for resources like files or DB connections to ensure they are properly closed."}`
|
||||
- **Type Hinting:** `{e.g., "All new functions and methods must have full type hints. Run MyPy in CI. Strive for `disallow_untyped_defs = True`."}`
|
||||
- **Logging Specifics:** `{e.g., "Use the `logging`module configured for structured output (e.g., with`python-json-logger`). Include correlation IDs."}`
|
||||
- **Framework Idioms (e.g., for Django/Flask/FastAPI):** `{e.g., "Django: Follow fat models, thin views pattern. Use ORM conventions. FastAPI: Utilize Pydantic for request/response models and dependency injection for services."}`
|
||||
- **Key Library Usage Conventions:** `{e.g., "For HTTP requests, use `httpx`or`requests`with explicit timeout settings. For data manipulation, prefer`pandas` where appropriate but be mindful of performance."}`
|
||||
|
||||
#### `{Add more Language/Framework sections as needed...}`
|
||||
|
||||
- **{Consider other things that the trained LLM Dev Agent could potentially be random about specific to the chosen language technologies and platforms that it should be reminded of here}**

## Overall Testing Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
{This section outlines the project's comprehensive testing strategy, which all AI-generated and human-written code must adhere to. It complements the testing tools listed in the "Definitive Tech Stack Selections".}
|
||||
|
||||
- **Tools:** {Reiterate primary testing frameworks and libraries from Tech Stack, e.g., Jest, Playwright, PyTest, JUnit, Testcontainers.}
|
||||
- **Unit Tests:**
|
||||
- **Scope:** {Test individual functions, methods, classes, or small modules in isolation. Focus on business logic, algorithms, and transformation rules.}
|
||||
- **Location:** {e.g., `*.test.ts`/`*.spec.ts` co-located with source files; `test_*.py` in a parallel `tests/` directory, following language conventions.}
|
||||
- **Mocking/Stubbing:** {Specify chosen mocking library (e.g., Jest mocks, `unittest.mock` in Python, Mockito for Java). Mock all external dependencies (network calls, file system, databases, time).}
|
||||
- **AI Agent Responsibility:** {AI Agent must generate unit tests covering all public methods, significant logic paths, edge cases, and error conditions for any new or modified code.}
|
||||
- **Integration Tests:**
|
||||
- **Scope:** {Test the interaction between several components or services within the application boundary. E.g., API endpoint to service layer to database (using a test database or in-memory version).}
|
||||
- **Location:** {e.g., `/tests/integration` or `/src/integration-test` (Java).}
|
||||
- **Environment:** {Specify how dependencies are handled (e.g., Testcontainers for databases/external services, in-memory databases, dedicated test environment).}
|
||||
- **AI Agent Responsibility:** {AI Agent may be tasked with generating integration tests for key service interactions or API endpoints based on specifications.}
|
||||
- **End-to-End (E2E) Tests:**
|
||||
- **Scope:** {Validate complete user flows or critical paths through the system from the user's perspective (e.g., UI interaction, API call sequence).}
|
||||
- **Tools:** {Reiterate E2E testing tools from Tech Stack (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium).}
|
||||
- **AI Agent Responsibility:** {AI Agent may be tasked with generating E2E test stubs or scripts based on user stories or BDD scenarios. Focus on critical happy paths and key error scenarios.}
|
||||
- **Test Coverage:**
|
||||
- **Target:** {Specify target code coverage if any (e.g., 80% line/branch coverage for unit tests). This is a guideline; quality of tests is paramount over raw coverage numbers.}
|
||||
- **Measurement:** {Tool used for coverage reports (e.g., Istanbul/nyc, Coverage.py, JaCoCo).}
|
||||
- **Mocking/Stubbing Strategy (General):** {Beyond specific test types, outline general principles. e.g., "Prefer fakes or test doubles over extensive mocking where it improves test clarity and maintainability. Strive for tests that are fast, reliable, and isolated."}
|
||||
- **Test Data Management:** {How is test data created, managed, and isolated? E.g., factories, fixtures, setup/teardown scripts, dedicated test data generation tools.}
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
{Outline key security considerations relevant to the codebase. These are mandatory and must be actively addressed by the AI agent during development.}
|
||||
|
||||
- **Input Sanitization/Validation:** {Specify library/method for ALL external inputs (API requests, user-provided data, file uploads). E.g., 'Use class-validator with NestJS DTOs for all API inputs; all validation rules must be defined in DTOs.' For other languages, 'Use {validation_library} for all external inputs; define schemas and constraints.' Validation must occur at the boundary before processing.}
|
||||
- **Output Encoding:** {Specify where and how output encoding should be performed to prevent XSS and other injection attacks. E.g., 'All dynamic data rendered in HTML templates must be contextually auto-escaped by the template engine (specify engine and confirm default behavior). If generating HTML/XML/JSON manually, use approved encoding libraries like {encoder_library_name}.'}
|
||||
- **Secrets Management:** {Reference `docs/environment-vars.md` regarding storage for different environments. In code, access secrets _only_ through a designated configuration module/service. Never hardcode secrets, include them in source control, or log them. Use specific tools for local development if applicable (e.g., Doppler, .env files NOT committed).}
|
||||
- **Dependency Security:** {Policy on checking for vulnerable dependencies. E.g., 'Run automated vulnerability scans (e.g., `npm audit`, `pip-audit`, Snyk, Dependabot alerts) as part of CI. Update vulnerable dependencies promptly based on severity.' Policy on adding new dependencies (vetting process).}
|
||||
- **Authentication/Authorization Checks:** {Where and how should these be enforced? E.g., 'All API endpoints (except explicitly public ones) must enforce authentication using the central auth module/middleware. Authorization (permission/role checks) must be performed at the service layer or entry point for protected resources.' Define patterns for implementing these checks.}
|
||||
- **Principle of Least Privilege (Implementation):** {e.g., 'Database connection users must have only the necessary permissions (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) for the specific tables/schemas they access. IAM roles for cloud services must be narrowly scoped to the required actions and resources.'}
|
||||
- **API Security (General):** {e.g., 'Enforce HTTPS. Implement rate limiting and throttling (specify tool/method). Use standard HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc. - specify which ones and their configuration). Follow REST/GraphQL security best practices.'}
|
||||
- **Error Handling & Information Disclosure:** {Ensure error messages do not leak sensitive information (stack traces, internal paths, detailed SQL errors) to the end-user. Log detailed errors server-side, provide generic messages or error IDs to the client.}
|
||||
- **Regular Security Audits/Testing:** {Mention if planned, e.g., penetration testing, static/dynamic analysis tool usage in CI (SAST/DAST).}
|
||||
- **{Other relevant practices, e.g., File upload security, Session management security, Data encryption at rest and in transit beyond HTTPS if specific requirements exist.}**

## Overall Frontend Philosophy & Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
{ Describe the core architectural decisions and patterns chosen for the frontend. This should align with the "Definitive Tech Stack Selections" in the main architecture document and consider implications from the overall system architecture (e.g., monorepo vs. polyrepo, backend service structure). }
|
||||
|
||||
- **Framework & Core Libraries:** {e.g., React 18.x with Next.js 13.x, Angular 16.x, Vue 3.x with Nuxt.js. Briefly reiterate why these were chosen if not detailed enough in the main arch doc.}
|
||||
- **Component Architecture:** {e.g., Atomic Design principles, Presentational vs. Container components, use of specific component libraries like Material UI, Tailwind CSS for styling approach.}
|
||||
- **State Management Strategy:** {e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand, Vuex, NgRx. Briefly describe the overall approach – global store, feature stores, context API usage. More details in "State Management In-Depth" section.}
|
||||
- **Data Flow:** {e.g., Unidirectional data flow, how data is fetched, passed to components, and updated.}
|
||||
- **Styling Approach:** {e.g., CSS Modules, Styled Components, SCSS with BEM, Tailwind CSS. Link to configuration if applicable.}
|
||||
- **Key Design Patterns Used:** {e.g., Provider pattern, Hooks, Higher-Order Components, Service patterns for API calls.}
|
||||
- **Framework & Core Libraries:** {e.g., React 18.x with Next.js 13.x, Angular 16.x, Vue 3.x with Nuxt.js}. **These are derived from the 'Definitive Tech Stack Selections' in the main Architecture Document.** This section elaborates on *how* these choices are applied specifically to the frontend.
|
||||
- **Component Architecture:** {e.g., Atomic Design principles, Presentational vs. Container components, use of specific component libraries like Material UI, Tailwind CSS for styling approach. Specify chosen approach and any key libraries.}
|
||||
- **State Management Strategy:** {e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand, Vuex, NgRx. Briefly describe the overall approach – global store, feature stores, context API usage. **Referenced from main Architecture Document and detailed further in "State Management In-Depth" section.**}
|
||||
- **Data Flow:** {e.g., Unidirectional data flow (Flux/Redux pattern), React Query/SWR for server state. Describe how data is fetched, cached, passed to components, and updated.}
|
||||
- **Styling Approach:** **{Chosen Styling Solution, e.g., Tailwind CSS / CSS Modules / Styled Components}**. Configuration File(s): {e.g., `tailwind.config.js`, `postcss.config.js`}. Key conventions: {e.g., "Utility-first approach for Tailwind. Custom components defined in `src/styles/components.css`. Theme extensions in `tailwind.config.js` under `theme.extend`. For CSS Modules, files are co-located with components, e.g., `MyComponent.module.css`.}
|
||||
- **Key Design Patterns Used:** {e.g., Provider pattern, Hooks, Higher-Order Components, Service patterns for API calls, Container/Presentational. These patterns are to be consistently applied. Deviations require justification and documentation.}

||||
|
||||
## Detailed Frontend Directory Structure
|
||||
|
||||
{ Provide an ASCII diagram representing the frontend application\'s specific folder structure (e.g., within `src/` or `app/`). This should elaborate on the frontend part of the main project structure outlined in the architecture document. Highlight conventions for organizing components, pages/views, services, state, styles, assets, etc. }
|
||||
{ Provide an ASCII diagram representing the frontend application\'s specific folder structure (e.g., within `src/` or `app/` or a dedicated `frontend/` root directory if part of a monorepo). This should elaborate on the frontend part of the main project structure outlined in the architecture document. Highlight conventions for organizing components, pages/views, services, state, styles, assets, etc. For each key directory, provide a one-sentence mandatory description of its purpose.}

{ Explain any specific conventions or rationale behind the structure. For example, "Components are co-located with their feature if not globally reusable." }
|
||||
{ Explain any specific conventions or rationale behind the structure. e.g., "Components are co-located with their feature if not globally reusable to improve modularity." AI Agent MUST adhere to this defined structure strictly. New files MUST be placed in the appropriate directory based on these descriptions. }
|
||||
|
||||
## Component Breakdown & Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
{ This section outlines the conventions and templates for defining UI components. While a few globally shared or foundational components (e.g., core UI elements if not from a library, main layout structures) might be specified here upfront to ensure consistency, the detailed specification for most feature-specific components will emerge as user stories are implemented. The key is for the development team (or AI agent) to follow the "Template for Component Specification" below whenever a new component is identified for development. }

|
||||
|
||||
### Component Naming & Organization
|
||||
|
||||
{ Briefly describe conventions for naming components (e.g., PascalCase, `feature-ComponentName.tsx`). How are components organized on the filesystem (reiterate from directory structure if needed)? Are components grouped by feature, type (UI, layout), etc.? }
|
||||
- **Component Naming Convention:** **{e.g., PascalCase for files and component names: `UserProfileCard.tsx`}**. All component files MUST follow this convention.
|
||||
- **Organization:** {e.g., "Globally reusable components in `src/components/ui/` or `src/components/layout/`. Feature-specific components co-located within their feature directory, e.g., `src/features/feature-name/components/`. Refer to Detailed Frontend Directory Structure.}
|
||||
|
||||
### Template for Component Specification
|
||||
|
||||
{ For each significant UI component identified from the UI/UX Specification and design files (Figma), provide the following details. Repeat this subsection for each component. The level of detail should be sufficient for an AI agent or developer to implement it with minimal ambiguity. }

## State Management In-Depth
|
||||
|
||||
{ This section expands on the State Management strategy chosen and outlined in the main architecture document and the "Overall Frontend Philosophy". It defines the conventions for how state modules should be structured and implemented. While the overall approach and core store setup (if any) are defined here, detailed state slices, selectors, and actions/thunks for specific features will generally be developed emergently as those features are built, adhering to these established patterns. }

||||
- **Chosen Solution:** {e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand, Vuex, NgRx - reiterate from main arch doc.}

- **Rationale (briefly, if not fully covered in main arch doc):** {Why was this solution chosen over alternatives for this specific project?}
|
||||
- **Chosen Solution:** {e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand, Vuex, NgRx - As defined in main arch doc.}
|
||||
- **Decision Guide for State Location:**
|
||||
- **Global State (e.g., Redux/Zustand):** Data shared across many unrelated components; data persisting across routes; complex state logic managed via reducers/thunks. **MUST be used for session data, user preferences, application-wide notifications.**
|
||||
- **React Context API:** State primarily passed down a specific component subtree (e.g., theme, form context). Simpler state, fewer updates compared to global state. **MUST be used for localized state not suitable for prop drilling but not needed globally.**
|
||||
- **Local Component State (`useState`, `useReducer`):** UI-specific state, not needed outside the component or its direct children (e.g., form input values, dropdown open/close status). **MUST be the default choice unless criteria for Context or Global State are met.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Store Structure / Slices

### Client/Service Structure
|
||||
|
||||
- **HTTP Client Setup:** {e.g., Axios instance, Fetch wrapper. Base URL configuration, default headers (e.g., for Authorization from state), interceptors for request/response handling (e.g., error normalization, token refresh).}
|
||||
- **HTTP Client Setup:** {e.g., Axios instance in `src/services/apiClient.ts`. **MUST** include: Base URL (from environment variable `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL` or equivalent), default headers (e.g., `Content-Type: 'application/json'`), interceptors for automatic auth token injection (from state management, e.g., `sessionSlice.token`) and standardized error handling/normalization (see below).}
|
||||
- **Service Definitions (Example):**
|
||||
- **`userService.ts`:**
|
||||
- **`userService.ts` (in `src/services/userService.ts`):**
|
||||
- **Purpose:** {Handles all API interactions related to users.}
|
||||
- **Functions:**
|
||||
- **Functions:** Each service function MUST have explicit parameter types, a return type (e.g., `Promise<User>`), JSDoc/TSDoc explaining purpose, params, return value, and any specific error handling. It MUST call the configured HTTP client (`apiClient`) with correct endpoint, method, and payload.
|
||||
- `fetchUser(userId: string): Promise<User>`
|
||||
- `updateUserProfile(userId: string, data: UserProfileUpdateDto): Promise<User>`

### Error Handling & Retries (Frontend)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Global Error Handling:** {How are API errors caught and presented to the user globally (e.g., toast notifications)? Is there a global error state?}
|
||||
- **Specific Error Handling:** {How might components handle specific API errors for more contextual feedback?}
|
||||
- **Retry Logic:** {Is there any client-side retry logic for idempotent requests? If so, how is it configured?}
|
||||
- **Global Error Handling:** {How are API errors caught globally? (e.g., Via Axios response interceptor in `apiClient.ts`). How are they presented/logged? (e.g., Dispatches `uiSlice.actions.showGlobalErrorBanner({ message: error.message })`, logs detailed error to console/monitoring service). Is there a global error state? (e.g., `uiSlice.error`).}
|
||||
- **Specific Error Handling:** {Components MAY handle specific API errors locally for more contextual feedback (e.g., displaying an inline message on a form field: "Invalid email address"). This MUST be documented in the component's specification if it deviates from global handling.}
|
||||
- **Retry Logic:** {Is client-side retry logic implemented (e.g., using `axios-retry` with `apiClient`)? If so, specify configuration: max retries (e.g., 3), retry conditions (e.g., network errors, 5xx server errors), retry delay (e.g., exponential backoff). **MUST apply only to idempotent requests (GET, PUT, DELETE).**}

- **Test Data Management for UI:** {How is consistent test data seeded or mocked for UI E2E tests? (e.g., API mocking layer like MSW, backend seeding scripts, dedicated test accounts).}
|
||||
|
||||
## Accessibility (AX) Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
{ Based on the AX requirements in the UI/UX Specification, detail how these will be technically implemented. }
|
||||
|
||||
- **Semantic HTML:** {Emphasis on using correct HTML5 elements.}
|
||||
- **ARIA Implementation:** {Specific ARIA roles, states, and properties for custom/complex components.}
|
||||
- **Keyboard Navigation:** {Ensuring all interactive elements are focusable and operable via keyboard.}
|
||||
- **Focus Management:** {How is focus managed in modals, dynamic content changes?}
|
||||
- **Testing Tools for AX:** {e.g., Axe DevTools, Lighthouse, manual testing procedures.}
|
||||
- **Semantic HTML:** {Emphasis on using correct HTML5 elements. **AI Agent MUST prioritize semantic elements (e.g., `<nav>`, `<button>`, `<article>`) over generic `<div>`/`<span>` with ARIA roles where a native element with the correct semantics exists.**}
|
||||
- **ARIA Implementation:** {Specify common custom components and their required ARIA patterns (e.g., "Custom select dropdown MUST follow ARIA Combobox pattern including `aria-expanded`, `aria-controls`, `role='combobox'`, etc. Custom Tabs MUST follow ARIA Tabbed Interface pattern."). Link to ARIA Authoring Practices Guide (APG) for reference.}
|
||||
- **Keyboard Navigation:** {Ensuring all interactive elements are focusable and operable via keyboard. Focus order MUST be logical. Custom components MUST implement keyboard interaction patterns as per ARIA APG (e.g., arrow keys for radio groups/sliders).**}
|
||||
- **Focus Management:** {How is focus managed in modals, dynamic content changes, route transitions? (e.g., "Modals MUST trap focus. On modal open, focus moves to the first focusable element or the modal container. On close, focus returns to the trigger element. Route changes SHOULD move focus to the main content area or H1 of the new page.")}
|
||||
- **Testing Tools for AX:** {e.g., Axe DevTools browser extension, Lighthouse accessibility audit. **Automated Axe scans (e.g., using `jest-axe` for component tests, or Playwright/Cypress Axe integration for E2E tests) MUST be integrated into the CI pipeline and fail the build on new violations of WCAG AA (or specified level).** Manual testing procedures: {List key manual checks, e.g., keyboard-only navigation for all interactive elements, screen reader testing (e.g., NVDA/JAWS/VoiceOver) for critical user flows.}}
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
{ Highlight frontend-specific performance optimization strategies. }
|
||||
|
||||
- **Image Optimization:** {Formats (e.g., WebP), responsive images (`<picture>`, `srcset`), lazy loading.}
|
||||
- Implementation Mandate: {e.g., "All images MUST use `<Image>` component from Next.js (or equivalent framework-specific optimizer). SVGs for icons. WebP format preferred where supported."}
|
||||
- **Code Splitting & Lazy Loading (reiterate from Build section if needed):** {How it impacts perceived performance.}
|
||||
- Implementation Mandate: {e.g., "Next.js handles route-based code splitting automatically. Dynamic imports `import()` MUST be used for component-level lazy loading."}
|
||||
- **Minimizing Re-renders:** {Techniques like `React.memo`, `shouldComponentUpdate`, optimized selectors.}
|
||||
- Implementation Mandate: {e.g., "`React.memo` MUST be used for components that render frequently with same props. Selectors for global state MUST be memoized (e.g., with Reselect). Avoid passing new object/array literals or inline functions as props directly in render methods where it can cause unnecessary re-renders."}
|
||||
- **Debouncing/Throttling:** {For event handlers like search input or window resize.}
|
||||
- Implementation Mandate: {e.g., "Use a utility like `lodash.debounce` or `lodash.throttle` for specified event handlers. Define debounce/throttle wait times."}
|
||||
- **Virtualization:** {For long lists or large data sets (e.g., React Virtualized, TanStack Virtual).}
|
||||
- Implementation Mandate: {e.g., "MUST be used for any list rendering more than {N, e.g., 100} items if performance degradation is observed."}
|
||||
- **Caching Strategies (Client-Side):** {Use of browser cache, service workers for PWA capabilities (if applicable).}
|
||||
- **Performance Monitoring Tools:** {e.g., Lighthouse, WebPageTest, browser DevTools performance tab.}
|
||||
- Implementation Mandate: {e.g., "Configure service worker (if PWA) to cache application shell and key static assets. Leverage HTTP caching headers for other assets as defined in Deployment section."}
|
||||
- **Performance Monitoring Tools:** {e.g., Lighthouse, WebPageTest, browser DevTools performance tab. Specify which ones are primary and any automated checks in CI.}
|
||||
|
||||
## Internationalization (i18n) and Localization (l10n) Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
{This section defines the strategy for supporting multiple languages and regional differences if applicable. If not applicable, state "Internationalization is not a requirement for this project at this time."}
|
||||
|
||||
- **Requirement Level:** {e.g., Not Required, Required for specific languages [list them], Fully internationalized for future expansion.}
|
||||
- **Chosen i18n Library/Framework:** {e.g., `react-i18next`, `vue-i18n`, `ngx-translate`, framework-native solution like Next.js i18n routing. Specify the exact library/mechanism.}
|
||||
- **Translation File Structure & Format:** {e.g., JSON files per language per feature (`src/features/{featureName}/locales/{lang}.json`), or global files (`public/locales/{lang}.json`). Define the exact path and format (e.g., flat JSON, nested JSON).}
|
||||
- **Translation Key Naming Convention:** {e.g., `featureName.componentName.elementText`, `common.submitButton`. MUST be a clear, consistent, and documented pattern.}
|
||||
- **Process for Adding New Translatable Strings:** {e.g., "AI Agent MUST add new keys to the default language file (e.g., `en.json`) and use the i18n library's functions/components (e.g., `<Trans>` component, `t()` function) to render text. Keys MUST NOT be constructed dynamically at runtime in a way that prevents static analysis."}
|
||||
- **Handling Pluralization:** {Specify method/syntax, e.g., using ICU message format via the chosen library (e.g., `t('key', { count: N })`).}
|
||||
- **Date, Time, and Number Formatting:** {Specify if the i18n library handles this, or if another library (e.g., `date-fns-tz` with locale support, `Intl` API directly) and specific formats/styles should be used for each locale.}
|
||||
- **Default Language:** {e.g., `en-US`}
|
||||
- **Language Switching Mechanism (if applicable):** {How is the language changed by the user and persisted? e.g., "Via a language selector component that updates a global state/cookie and potentially alters the URL route."}
|
||||
|
||||
## Feature Flag Management
|
||||
|
||||
{This section outlines how conditionally enabled features are managed. If not applicable, state "Feature flags are not a primary architectural concern for this project at this time."}
|
||||
|
||||
- **Requirement Level:** {e.g., Not Required, Used for specific rollouts, Core part of development workflow.}
|
||||
- **Chosen Feature Flag System/Library:** {e.g., LaunchDarkly, Unleash, Flagsmith, custom solution using environment variables or a configuration service. Specify the exact tool/method.}
|
||||
- **Accessing Flags in Code:** {e.g., "Via a custom hook `useFeatureFlag('flag-name'): boolean` or a service `featureFlagService.isOn('flag-name')`. Specify the exact interface, location, and initialization of the service/provider."}
|
||||
- **Flag Naming Convention:** {e.g., `[SCOPE]_[FEATURE_NAME]_[TARGET_GROUP_OR_TYPE]`, e.g., `CHECKOUT_NEW_PAYMENT_GATEWAY_ROLLOUT`, `USER_PROFILE_BETA_AVATAR_UPLOAD`. MUST be documented and consistently applied.}
|
||||
- **Code Structure for Flagged Features:** {e.g., "Use conditional rendering (`{isFeatureEnabled && <NewComponent />}`). For larger features, conditionally import components (`React.lazy` with flag check) or routes. Avoid complex branching logic deep within shared components; prefer to flag at higher levels."}
|
||||
- **Strategy for Code Cleanup (Post-Flag Retirement):** {e.g., "Once a flag is fully rolled out (100% users) and deemed permanent, or fully removed, all conditional logic, old code paths, and the flag itself MUST be removed from the codebase within {N, e.g., 2} sprints. This is a mandatory tech debt item."}
|
||||
- **Testing Flagged Features:** {How are different flag variations tested? e.g., "QA team uses a debug panel to toggle flags. Automated E2E tests run with specific flag configurations."}
|
||||
|
||||
## Frontend Security Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
{This section highlights mandatory frontend-specific security practices, complementing the main Architecture Document. AI Agent MUST adhere to these guidelines.}
|
||||
|
||||
- **Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Prevention:**
|
||||
- Framework Reliance: {e.g., "React's JSX auto-escaping MUST be relied upon for rendering dynamic content. Vue's `v-html` MUST be avoided unless content is explicitly sanitized."}
|
||||
- Explicit Sanitization: {If direct DOM manipulation is unavoidable (strongly discouraged), use {specific sanitization library/function like DOMPurify}. Specify its configuration.}
|
||||
- Content Security Policy (CSP): {Is a CSP implemented? How? e.g., "CSP is enforced via HTTP headers set by the backend/CDN as defined in the main Architecture doc. Frontend MAY need to ensure nonce usage for inline scripts if `unsafe-inline` is not allowed." Link to CSP definition if available.}
|
||||
- **Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Protection (if applicable for session-based auth):**
|
||||
- Mechanism: {e.g., "Backend uses synchronizer token pattern. Frontend ensures tokens are included in state-changing requests if not handled automatically by HTTP client or forms." Refer to main Architecture Document for backend details.}
|
||||
- **Secure Token Storage & Handling (for client-side tokens like JWTs):**
|
||||
- Storage Mechanism: {**MUST specify exact mechanism**: e.g., In-memory via state management (e.g., Redux/Zustand store, cleared on tab close), `HttpOnly` cookies (if backend sets them and frontend doesn't need to read them), `sessionStorage`. **`localStorage` is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED for token storage.**}
|
||||
- Token Refresh: {Describe client-side involvement, e.g., "Interceptor in `apiClient.ts` handles 401 errors to trigger token refresh endpoint."}
|
||||
- **Third-Party Script Security:**
|
||||
- Policy: {e.g., "All third-party scripts (analytics, ads, widgets) MUST be vetted for necessity and security. Load scripts asynchronously (`async/defer`)."}
|
||||
- Subresource Integrity (SRI): {e.g., "SRI hashes MUST be used for all external scripts and stylesheets loaded from CDNs where the resource is stable."}
|
||||
- **Client-Side Data Validation:**
|
||||
- Purpose: {e.g., "Client-side validation is for UX improvement (immediate feedback) ONLY. **All critical data validation MUST occur server-side** (as defined in the main Architecture Document)."}
|
||||
- Implementation: {e.g., "Use {form_library_name like Formik/React Hook Form} for form validation. Rules should mirror server-side validation where appropriate."}
|
||||
- **Preventing Clickjacking:**
|
||||
- Mechanism: {e.g., "Primary defense is `X-Frame-Options` or `frame-ancestors` CSP directive, set by backend/CDN. Frontend code should not rely on frame-busting scripts."}
|
||||
- **API Key Exposure (for client-side consumed services):**
|
||||
- Restriction: {e.g., "API keys for services like Google Maps (client-side JS SDK) MUST be restricted (e.g., HTTP referrer, IP address, API restrictions) via the service provider's console."}
|
||||
- Backend Proxy: {e.g., "For keys requiring more secrecy or involving sensitive operations, a backend proxy endpoint MUST be created; frontend calls the proxy, not the third-party service directly."}
|
||||
- **Secure Communication (HTTPS):**
|
||||
- Mandate: {e.g., "All communication with backend APIs MUST use HTTPS. Mixed content (HTTP assets on HTTPS page) is forbidden."}
|
||||
- **Dependency Vulnerabilities:**
|
||||
- Process: {e.g., "Run `npm audit --audit-level=high` (or equivalent) in CI. High/critical vulnerabilities MUST be addressed before deployment. Monitor Dependabot/Snyk alerts."}
|
||||
|
||||
## Browser Support and Progressive Enhancement
|
||||
|
||||
{This section defines the target browsers and how the application should behave in less capable or non-standard environments.}
|
||||
|
||||
- **Target Browsers:** {e.g., "Latest 2 stable versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. Specific versions can be listed if required by project constraints. Internet Explorer (any version) is NOT supported." MUST be explicit.}
|
||||
- **Polyfill Strategy:**
|
||||
- Mechanism: {e.g., "Use `core-js@3` imported at the application entry point. Babel `preset-env` is configured with the above browser targets to include necessary polyfills."}
|
||||
- Specific Polyfills (if any beyond `core-js`): {List any other polyfills required for specific features, e.g., `smoothscroll-polyfill`.}
|
||||
- **JavaScript Requirement & Progressive Enhancement:**
|
||||
- Baseline: {e.g., "Core application functionality REQUIRES JavaScript enabled in the browser." OR "Key content (e.g., articles, product information) and primary navigation MUST be accessible and readable without JavaScript. Interactive features and enhancements are layered on top with JavaScript (Progressive Enhancement approach)." Specify the chosen approach.}
|
||||
- No-JS Experience (if Progressive Enhancement): {Describe what works without JS. e.g., "Users can view pages and navigate. Forms may not submit or will use standard HTML submission."}
|
||||
- **CSS Compatibility & Fallbacks:**
|
||||
- Tooling: {e.g., "Use Autoprefixer (via PostCSS) configured with the target browser list to add vendor prefixes."}
|
||||
- Feature Usage: {e.g., "Avoid CSS features not supported by >90% of target browsers unless a graceful degradation or fallback is explicitly defined and tested (e.g., using `@supports` queries)."}
|
||||
- **Accessibility Fallbacks:** {Consider how features behave if certain ARIA versions or advanced accessibility features are not supported by older assistive technologies within the support matrix.}

# Project Brief: BMad DiCaster
|
||||
|
||||
## Introduction / Problem Statement
|
||||
|
||||
This project aims to develop a web application that provides a daily, concise summary of top Hacker News (HN) posts, delivered as a newsletter and accessible via a web interface.
|
||||
|
||||
The problem being addressed is the information overload faced by busy professionals and enthusiasts who want to stay updated on HN but lack the time to sift through numerous posts and discussions. This application will streamline the consumption of HN content by curating the top stories, providing AI-powered summaries of both articles and comments, and offering an optional AI-generated podcast version.
|
||||
|
||||
The solution will involve:
|
||||
|
||||
* Daily retrieval of top HN posts and comments.
|
||||
* Scraping of linked articles.
|
||||
* AI-powered summarization of articles and comments.
|
||||
* Generation of a concise daily newsletter.
|
||||
* Optional generation of an AI-powered podcast.
|
||||
* Delivery of the newsletter via email.
|
||||
* A web interface for accessing current and past newsletters and podcasts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Vision & Goals
|
||||
|
||||
* **Vision:** To create a functional demonstration of a modern web application leveraging AI for content summarization and generation, both as a personal learning experience and as a helpful tool for individuals seeking concise summaries of Hacker News content and a showcase for others interested in building similar applications.
|
||||
* **Primary Goals:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **End-to-End Automation:** Successfully automate the daily workflow, from fetching HN posts to sending out the newsletter email, triggered by a scheduled process, with zero manual intervention required.
|
||||
2. **Local/API Trigger:** Implement the ability to manually trigger the daily workflow, either via a command-line interface (CLI) when running locally or via a secure API endpoint, within the MVP.
|
||||
3. **API Security:** Ensure the API endpoint used to trigger the daily workflow includes basic security measures to prevent unauthorized access.
|
||||
* **Success Metrics (Initial Ideas):**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Successful Deployment:** The application is successfully deployed to Vercel and accessible via a public URL.
|
||||
2. **End-to-End Workflow Completion:** The daily workflow (HN post retrieval to newsletter delivery) completes successfully and automatically for at least 7 consecutive days.
|
||||
3. **Manual Trigger Functionality:** The daily workflow can be successfully triggered both locally via CLI and remotely via a secure API call.
|
||||
4. **Functional Newsletter & UI:** The generated newsletter is formatted correctly and delivered as expected, and the core features of the web UI (displaying newsletters, accessing podcasts) are functional.
|
||||
5. **Codebase Quality:** The codebase demonstrates good practices, is well-structured, and serves as a valuable learning resource.
|
||||
|
||||
## Target Audience / Users
|
||||
|
||||
The primary users of this application are:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Engineers:** Individuals with a technical background who are interested in staying up-to-date with Hacker News and learning about the application's architecture and AI implementation.
|
||||
* **Busy Tech Professionals:** Professionals in the technology industry who have limited time but want to consume a concise summary of the day's top Hacker News stories.
|
||||
|
||||
These users share the need for a streamlined way to stay informed about relevant discussions and news within the tech community, without having to spend excessive time browsing Hacker News directly.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Features / Scope (High-Level Ideas for MVP)
|
||||
|
||||
* **HN Content Retrieval & Storage:**
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
* Storage of all retrieved data (posts, comments, articles) with date association.
|
||||
* **AI-Powered Summarization:**
|
||||
|
||||
* AI-powered summarization of the 10 selected articles (2-paragraph summaries).
|
||||
* AI-powered summarization of comments for the 10 selected posts (2-paragraph summaries highlighting interesting interactions).
|
||||
* Configuration for local or remote LLM usage via environment variables.
|
||||
* **Newsletter Generation & Delivery:**
|
||||
|
||||
* Generation of a daily newsletter in HTML format, including summaries, links to HN posts and articles, and original post dates/times.
|
||||
* Automated delivery of the newsletter to a manually configured list of subscribers in Supabase.
|

|
||||
* Webhook handler to update the newsletter with the generated podcast link.
|
||||
* **Web Interface (MVP):**
|
||||
|
||||
* Display of current and past newsletters.
|
||||
* Functionality to read the newsletter content within the web page.
|
||||
* Download option for newsletters.
|
||||
* Web player for listening to generated podcasts.
|
||||
* **API & Triggering:**
|
||||
|
||||
* Secure API endpoint to manually trigger the daily workflow.
|
||||

|
||||
* Subscription Management: Features to allow users to manage their newsletter subscriptions (e.g., modify, pause, or cancel).
|
||||
* Admin Dashboard: An administrative interface for managing users, newsletters, and other application data.
|
||||
* Enhanced Newsletter Customization: Options for users to customize their newsletter preferences (e.g., frequency, content filters).
|
||||
* Additional Content Digests: Potential to offer different digests based on Hacker News categories or other content sources.
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Technical Constraints or Preferences
|
||||
|
||||
* **Constraints:** None currently identified.
|
||||
* **Initial Architectural Preferences (if any):**
|
||||
* The application will be developed using Next.js and hosted on Vercel, leveraging the Vercel/Supabase [template](https://vercel.com/templates/next.js/supabase) as a starting point.
|
||||
* A monorepo structure is not a requirement for this project.
|
||||
* The architecture will incorporate some microservices principles, alongside the frontend.
|
||||
* **Risks:** None currently identified.
|
||||
* **User Preferences:** None currently identified.

# BMad DiCaster Product Requirements Document (PRD)
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal, Objective and Context
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** To develop a web application that provides a daily, concise summary of top Hacker News (HN) posts, delivered as a newsletter and accessible via a web interface. [cite: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
|
||||
|
||||
**Objective:** To streamline the consumption of HN content by curating the top stories, providing AI-powered summaries, and offering an optional AI-generated podcast version. [cite: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:** Busy professionals and enthusiasts want to stay updated on HN but lack the time to sift through numerous posts and discussions. [cite: 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 67] This application will address this problem by automating the delivery of summarized content. [cite: 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16]
|
||||
|
||||
## Functional Requirements (MVP)
|
||||
|
||||
- **HN Content Retrieval & Storage:**
|
||||
- Daily retrieval of the top 30 Hacker News posts and associated comments using the HN Algolia API. [cite: 20, 21, 22]
|
||||
- Scraping and storage of up to 10 linked articles per day. [cite: 20, 21, 22]
|
||||
- Storage of all retrieved data (posts, comments, articles) with date association. [cite: 20, 21, 22]
|
||||
- **AI-Powered Summarization:**
|
||||
- AI-powered summarization of the 10 selected articles (2-paragraph summaries). [cite: 23, 24, 25]
|
||||
- AI-powered summarization of comments for the 10 selected posts (2-paragraph summaries highlighting interesting interactions). [cite: 23, 24, 25]
|
||||
- Configuration for local or remote LLM usage via environment variables. [cite: 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33]
|
||||
- **Newsletter Generation & Delivery:**
|
||||
- Generation of a daily newsletter in HTML format, including summaries, links to HN posts and articles, and original post dates/times. [cite: 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33]
|
||||
- Automated delivery of the newsletter to a manually configured list of subscribers in Supabase. [cite: 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33] The list of emails will be manually populated in the database. Account information for the Nodemailer service will be provided via environment variables.
|
||||
- **Podcast Generation & Integration:**
|
||||
- Integration with Play.ht's PlayNote API for AI-generated podcast creation from the newsletter content. [cite: 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33]
|
||||
- Webhook handler to update the newsletter with the generated podcast link. [cite: 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33]
|
||||
- **Web Interface (MVP):**
|
||||
- Display of current and past newsletters. [cite: 30, 31, 32, 33]
|
||||
- Functionality to read the newsletter content within the web page. [cite: 30, 31, 32, 33]
|
||||
- Download option for newsletters. [cite: 30, 31, 32, 33]
|
||||
- Web player for listening to generated podcasts. [cite: 30, 31, 32, 33]
|
||||
- Basic mobile responsiveness for displaying newsletters and podcasts.
|
||||
- **API & Triggering:**
|
||||
- Secure API endpoint to manually trigger the daily workflow, secured with API keys. [cite: 32, 33]
|
||||
- CLI command to manually trigger the daily workflow locally. [cite: 32, 33]
|
||||
|
||||
## Non-Functional Requirements (MVP)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Performance:**
|
||||
- The system should retrieve HN posts and generate the newsletter within a reasonable timeframe (e.g., under 30 minutes) to ensure timely delivery.
|
||||
- The web interface should load quickly (e.g., within 2 seconds) to provide a smooth user experience.
|
||||
- **Scalability:**
|
||||
- The system is designed for an initial MVP delivery to 3-5 email subscribers. Scalability beyond this will be considered post-MVP.
|
||||
- **Security:**
|
||||
- The API endpoint for triggering the daily workflow must be secure, using API keys.
|
||||
- User data (email addresses) should be stored securely. No other security measures are required for the MVP.
|
||||
- **Reliability:**
|
||||
- No specific uptime or availability requirements are defined for the MVP.
|
||||
- The newsletter generation and delivery process should be robust and handle potential errors gracefully.
|
||||
- The system must be executable from a local development environment.
|
||||
- **Maintainability:**
|
||||
- The codebase should adhere to good quality coding standards, including separation of concerns.
|
||||
- The system should employ facades and factories to facilitate future expansion.
|
||||
- The system should be built as an event-driven pipeline, leveraging Supabase to capture data at each stage and trigger subsequent functions asynchronously. This approach aims to mitigate potential timeout issues with Vercel hosting.
|
||||
|
||||
## User Interaction and Design Goals
|
||||
|
||||
This section captures the high-level vision and goals for the User Experience (UX) to guide the Design Architect. [cite: 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57]
|
||||
|
||||
- **Overall Vision & Experience:**
|
||||
- The desired look and feel is modern and minimalist, with synthwave technical glowing purple vibes.
|
||||
- Users should have a clean and efficient experience when accessing and consuming newsletter content and podcasts.
|
||||
- **Key Interaction Paradigms:**
|
||||
- Interaction paradigms will be determined by the Design Architect.
|
||||
- **Core Screens/Views (Conceptual):**
|
||||
- The MVP will consist of two pages:
|
||||
- A list page to display current and past newsletters.
|
||||
- A detail page to display the selected newsletter content, including:
|
||||
- Download option for the newsletter.
|
||||
- Web player for listening to the generated podcast.
|
||||
- The article laid out for viewing.
|
||||
- **Accessibility Aspirations:**
|
||||
- No specific accessibility goals are defined for the MVP.
|
||||
- **Branding Considerations (High-Level):**
|
||||
- A logo for the application will be provided.
|
||||
- The application will use the name "BMad DiCaster".
|
||||
- **Target Devices/Platforms:**
|
||||
- The application will be designed as a mobile-first responsive web app, ensuring it looks good on both mobile and desktop devices.
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Assumptions
|
||||
|
||||
This section captures any existing technical information that will guide the Architect in the technical design. [cite: 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62]
|
||||
|
||||
- The application will be developed using the Next.js/Supabase template and hosted entirely on Vercel. [cite: 39, 40, 41, 42]
|
||||
- This implies a monorepo structure, as the frontend (Next.js) and backend (Supabase functions) will reside within the same repository. [cite: 59, 60, 61, 62]
|
||||
- The backend will primarily leverage serverless functions provided by Vercel and Supabase. [cite: 59, 60, 61, 62]
|
||||
- Frontend development will be in Next.js with React.
|
||||
- Data storage will be handled by Supabase's PostgreSQL database.
|
||||
- Separate Supabase instances will be used for development and production environments to ensure data isolation and stability.
|
||||
- For local development, developers can utilize the Supabase CLI and Vercel CLI to emulate the production environment, primarily for testing functions and deployments, but the development Supabase instance will be the primary source of dev data.
|
||||
- Testing will include unit tests, integration tests (especially for interactions with Supabase), and end-to-end tests.
|
||||
|
||||

## Initial Architect Prompt
|
||||
|
||||
Based on our discussions and requirements analysis for the BMad DiCaster, I've compiled the following technical guidance to inform your architecture analysis and decisions to kick off Architecture Creation Mode:
|
||||
|
||||
### Technical Infrastructure
|
||||
|
||||
- **Repository & Service Architecture Decision:** Monorepo with Next.js frontend and Supabase functions within the same repo.
|
||||
- **Starter Project/Template:** Vercel/Supabase template
|
||||
- **Hosting/Cloud Provider:** Vercel
|
||||
- **Frontend Platform:** Next.js with React
|
||||
- **Backend Platform:** Supabase functions (serverless)
|
||||
- **Database Requirements:** Supabase's PostgreSQL
|
||||
|
||||
### Technical Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
- The application will be developed using the Next.js/Supabase template and hosted entirely on Vercel.
|
||||
- Separate Supabase instances will be used for development and production environments.
|
||||
|
||||
### Deployment Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
- Automated deployments from the main branch to the production environment.
|
||||
- Separate Vercel environments for development and production.
|
||||
|
||||
### Local Development & Testing Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- Developers can use the Supabase CLI and Vercel CLI for local development and testing.
|
||||
- Testing will include unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other Technical Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
- The system should be built as an event-driven pipeline, leveraging Supabase to capture data at each stage and trigger subsequent functions asynchronously to mitigate potential timeout issues with Vercel.

# BMad DiCaster Product Requirements Document (PRD)
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal, Objective and Context
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** To develop a web application that provides a daily, concise summary of top Hacker News (HN) posts, delivered as a newsletter and accessible via a web interface.
|
||||
|
||||
**Objective:** To streamline the consumption of HN content by curating the top stories, providing AI-powered summaries, and offering an optional AI-generated podcast version.
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:** Busy professionals and enthusiasts want to stay updated on HN but lack the time to sift through numerous posts and discussions. This application will address this problem by automating the delivery of summarized content.
|
||||
|
||||
## Functional Requirements (MVP)
|
||||
|
||||
- **HN Content Retrieval & Storage:**
|
||||
- Daily retrieval of the top 30 Hacker News posts and associated comments using the HN Algolia API.
|
||||
- Scraping and storage of up to 10 linked articles per day.
|
||||
- Storage of all retrieved data (posts, comments, articles) with date association.
|
||||
- **AI-Powered Summarization:**
|
||||
- AI-powered summarization of the 10 selected articles (2-paragraph summaries).
|
||||
- AI-powered summarization of comments for the 10 selected posts (2-paragraph summaries highlighting interesting interactions).
|
||||
- Configuration for local or remote LLM usage via environment variables, including specifying the LLM API endpoint and any necessary authentication credentials.
|
||||
- **Newsletter Generation & Delivery:**
|
||||
- Generation of a daily newsletter in HTML format, including summaries, links to HN posts and articles, and original post dates/times.
|
||||
- Automated delivery of the newsletter to a manually configured list of subscribers in Supabase. The list of emails will be manually populated in the "subscribers" table. Account information for the Nodemailer service (including SMTP server, port, username, and password) will be provided via environment variables.
|
||||
- **Podcast Generation & Integration:**
|
||||
- Integration with Play.ht's PlayNote API for AI-generated podcast creation from the newsletter content.
|
||||
- Webhook handler to update the newsletter with the generated podcast link.
|
||||
- **Web Interface (MVP):**
|
||||
- Display of current and past newsletters.
|
||||
- Functionality to read the newsletter content within the web page.
|
||||
- Download option for newsletters (in HTML format).
|
||||
- Web player for listening to generated podcasts.
|
||||
- **API & Triggering:**
|
||||
- Secure API endpoint (`/api/trigger-workflow`) to manually trigger the daily workflow, secured with API keys passed in the `X-API-Key` header.
|
||||
- CLI command (`node trigger.js`) to manually trigger the daily workflow locally.
|
||||
|
||||
## Non-Functional Requirements (MVP)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Performance:**
|
||||
- The system should retrieve HN posts and generate the newsletter within a reasonable timeframe (e.g., under 30 minutes) to ensure timely delivery.
|
||||
- The web interface should load quickly (e.g., within 2 seconds) to provide a smooth user experience.
|
||||
- **Scalability:**
|
||||
- The system is designed for an initial MVP delivery to 3-5 email subscribers. Scalability beyond this will be considered post-MVP.
|
||||
- **Security:**
|
||||
- The API endpoint (`/api/trigger-workflow`) for triggering the daily workflow must be secure, using API keys passed in the `X-API-Key` header.
|
||||
- User data (email addresses) should be stored securely in the Supabase database, with appropriate access controls. No other security measures are required for the MVP.
|
||||
- **Reliability:**
|
||||
- No specific uptime or availability requirements are defined for the MVP.
|
||||
- The newsletter generation and delivery process should be robust and handle potential errors gracefully, with logging and retry mechanisms where appropriate.
|
||||
- The system must be executable from a local development environment using Node.js and the Supabase CLI.
|
||||
- **Maintainability:**
|
||||
- The codebase should adhere to good quality coding standards, including separation of concerns and following SOLID principles.
|
||||
- The system should employ design patterns like facades and factories to facilitate future expansion.
|
||||
- The system should be built as an event-driven pipeline, leveraging Supabase to capture data at each stage and trigger subsequent functions asynchronously. This approach aims to mitigate potential timeout issues with Vercel hosting.
|
||||
- Key parameters (e.g., API keys, email settings, LLM configuration) should be configurable via environment variables.
|
||||
|
||||
## User Interaction and Design Goals
|
||||
|
||||
This section captures the high-level vision and goals for the User Experience (UX) to guide the Design Architect.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Overall Vision & Experience:**
|
||||
- The desired look and feel is modern and minimalist, with synthwave technical glowing purple vibes.
|
||||
- Users should have a clean and efficient experience when accessing and consuming newsletter content and podcasts.
|
||||
- **Key Interaction Paradigms:**
|
||||
- The web interface will primarily involve browsing lists and reading detailed content.
|
||||
- Users will interact with the podcast player using standard playback controls.
|
||||
- **Core Screens/Views (Conceptual):**
|
||||
- The MVP will consist of two pages:
|
||||
- A list page (`/newsletters`) to display current and past newsletters, with links to the detail page.
|
||||
- A detail page (`/newsletters/{date}`) to display the selected newsletter content, including:
|
||||
- Download option for the newsletter (in HTML format).
|
||||
- Web player for listening to the generated podcast.
|
||||
- The article laid out for viewing.
|
||||
- **Accessibility Aspirations:**
|
||||
- Basic semantic HTML should be used to ensure a degree of screen reader compatibility.
|
||||
- **Branding Considerations (High-Level):**
|
||||
- A logo for the application will be provided.
|
||||
- The application will use the name "BMad DiCaster".
|
||||
- **Target Devices/Platforms:**
|
||||
- The application will be designed as a mobile-first responsive web app, ensuring it looks good on both mobile and desktop devices. The primary target is modern web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Assumptions
|
||||
|
||||
This section captures any existing technical information that will guide the development.
|
||||
|
||||
- The application will be developed using the Next.js framework for the frontend and Vercel serverless functions for the backend, leveraging the Vercel/Supabase template as a starting point.
|
||||
- This implies a monorepo structure, as the frontend (Next.js) and backend (Vercel functions) will reside within the same repository.
|
||||
- Frontend development will be in Next.js with React, utilizing Tailwind CSS for styling and theming.
|
||||
- Data storage will be handled by Supabase's PostgreSQL database.
|
||||
- Separate Supabase instances will be used for development and production environments to ensure data isolation and stability. Supabase CLI will be used for local development.
|
||||
- Testing will include unit tests (Jest), integration tests (testing API calls and Supabase interactions), and end-to-end tests (Cypress or Playwright).

## Epic and User Stories
|
||||
|
||||
**Epic 1: Project Initialization, Setup, and HN Content Acquisition**
|
||||
|
||||
- Goal: Establish the foundational project structure, including the Next.js application, Supabase integration, and deployment pipeline, implement the initial API and CLI trigger mechanisms, and implement the functionality to retrieve, process, and store Hacker News posts and comments, providing the necessary data for newsletter generation.
|
||||
- Story 1.1: Project Setup
|
||||
- As a developer, I want to set up the Next.js project with Supabase integration and initialize a Git repository, so that I have a functional foundation for building the application.
|
||||
- Acceptance Criteria:
|
||||
1. The Next.js project is initialized using the Vercel/Supabase template (`npx create-next-app@latest --example with-supabase`).
|
||||
2. Supabase client libraries are installed (`npm install @supabase/supabase-js`).
|
||||
3. The Supabase client is initialized with the Supabase URL and Anon Key from environment variables (`NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL`, `NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY`).
|
||||
4. The project codebase is initialized in a Git repository with a `.gitignore` file.
|
||||
- Story 1.2: Deployment Pipeline
|
||||
- As a developer, I want to configure the deployment pipeline to Vercel with separate development and production environments, so that I can easily deploy and update the application.
|
||||
- Acceptance Criteria:
|
||||
1. The project is successfully linked to a Vercel project using the Vercel CLI (`vercel link`).
|
||||
2. Separate Vercel projects are set up for development and production environments.
|
||||
3. Automated deployments are configured for the `main` branch to the production environment.
|
||||
4. Environment variables are set up for local development (`.env.local`) and Vercel deployments (via the Vercel dashboard) for Supabase URL/Key, API key, and other sensitive configuration.
|
||||
- Story 1.3: API and CLI Trigger Mechanisms
|
||||
- As a developer, I want to implement a secure API endpoint and a CLI command to trigger the workflow, so that I can manually trigger the process during development and testing.
|
||||
- Acceptance Criteria:
|
||||
1. A secure API endpoint (`/api/trigger-workflow`) is created as a Vercel API Route.
|
||||
2. The API endpoint requires authentication using an API key passed in the `X-API-Key` header.
|
||||
3. The API endpoint triggers the execution of the main workflow (HN data retrieval).
|
||||
4. The API endpoint returns a JSON response with a success/failure status code and message.
|
||||
5. A CLI command (`node trigger.js`) is created using Node.js and a library like `commander` or `yargs` to trigger the workflow locally.
|
||||
6. The CLI command reads necessary configuration (e.g., Supabase credentials) from environment variables.
|
||||
7. Both the API endpoint and CLI command log all requests with timestamps, source (API/CLI), and status.
|
||||
- Story 1.4: HN Data Retrieval
|
||||
- As a system, I want to retrieve the top 30 Hacker News posts and associated comments daily using the HN Algolia API, and store them in the Supabase database, so that the data is available for summarization and newsletter generation.
|
||||
- Acceptance Criteria:
|
||||
1. The system retrieves the top 30 Hacker News posts daily using the HN Algolia API (`https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search_by_date?tags=front_page`).
|
||||
2. The system retrieves associated comments for the top 30 posts using the HN Algolia API (using the post's `objectID`).
|
||||
3. Retrieved data (posts and comments) is stored in the Supabase database in tables named `hn_posts` and `hn_comments`, with appropriate fields (e.g., `title`, `url`, `created_at`, `author` for posts; `text`, `author`, `created_at`, `parent_id` for comments) and a `date` field to associate the data with the retrieval date.
|
||||
4. This functionality can be triggered via the API endpoint (`/api/trigger-workflow`) and the CLI command (`node trigger.js`).
|
||||
5. The system logs the start and completion of the retrieval process, including the number of posts/comments retrieved and any errors encountered (e.g., API request failures, database connection errors).
|
||||
|
||||
**Epic 2: Article Scraping**
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
# BMAD Method Advisor - V3 (Web UI Edition)
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
## PRIMARY ROLE: Orchestrator & Guide
|
||||
|
||||
- To provide comprehensive guidance and advice on effectively utilizing all aspects of the BMAD (Brian Madison) Method.
|
||||
- To clarify the roles, responsibilities, and interplay of specialized agents (Analyst, PM, Architect, Design Architect, POSM, etc.) within the BMAD framework.
|
||||
- To help users navigate the structured progression of the method, from ideation to deployment, including understanding handoffs, iterative refinements, and documentation management.
|
||||
- To offer best-practice recommendations for using different tools (Web UIs, IDEs) and engaging different agents at appropriate stages.
|
||||
You are the central orchestrator and guide for users navigating the BMAD Method V3. Your primary goal is to help users understand the overall process, select the appropriate specialized agent for their current needs, and provide high-level guidance on the BMAD philosophy and workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase Persona
|
||||
## CORE KNOWLEDGE SOURCE:
|
||||
|
||||
- Role: Name is BMad, but some call Brian. Expert BMAD Method Coach & Navigator and explainer.
|
||||
- Style: Knowledgeable, clear, patient, supportive, and pragmatic. Aims to empower users by making the BMAD method accessible and understandable. Focuses on providing actionable advice and clarifying complex workflows.
|
||||
- Background: Software engineering expert with over 25 years of real world experience building simulations, e-commerce, enterprise and web applications in both the public and private sectors.
|
||||
**Your primary source of detailed information about the BMAD Method, agent roles, workflows, and best practices is the `bmad-kb.md` file.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Operating Instructions & Guidance
|
||||
- **ALWAYS reference `bmad-kb.md` when asked about specific agent details, workflow steps, IDE vs. UI usage, IDE tasks, or the core philosophy.**
|
||||
- **To find information efficiently, look for Markdown headers like `## TOPIC NAME` or `### SUBTOPIC NAME` within `bmad-kb.md` that match the user's query.**
|
||||
- Extract relevant sections from `bmad-kb.md` under the appropriate headers to answer user questions accurately and comprehensively.
|
||||
- **Do NOT rely solely on your internal training data for BMAD specifics; the `bmad-kb.md` file is the authoritative source.**
|
||||
|
||||
- When a user asks for general guidance on the BMAD method, is unsure where to start, or has questions about how to best apply the method, proactively offer insights from the "Navigating the BMAD Workflow: Initial Guidance" section below.
|
||||
- If the user has specific questions about a particular agent (e.g., "What does the Analyst do?", "When do I use the PM?"), refer to the relevant subsections in this document and, if necessary, suggest they consult that agent's specific markdown file (e.g., `1-analyst.md`, `2-pm.md`) for detailed operational instructions.
|
||||
- Explain the typical sequence of agent engagement but also highlight the iterative nature of the method, which allows for revisiting phases if new information dictates.
|
||||
- Clarify the distinction and recommended uses of Web UIs (like Gemini Web or OpenAI custom GPTs) versus IDEs for different phases and agent interactions, emphasizing cost-effectiveness of UIs for conceptual stages.
|
||||
- If the user is an advanced user looking to customize agent behavior, explain that this involves editing the respective `.md` files located in the `BETA-V3/gems-and-gpts/` directory.
|
||||
- Strive to be a helpful, overarching guide to the entire BMAD ecosystem, instilling confidence in the user's ability to leverage the method effectively.
|
||||

Welcome to the BMAD (Brian Madison) Method! This advisor is here to help you navigate the various stages and agent roles within the BMAD framework, ensuring you can effectively move from initial idea to deployed solution.
|
||||
1. **Introduction & Orientation:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Structured Progression:** The method encourages a phased approach, from ideation and research through detailed planning, architecture, and development.
|
||||
- **Role-Based Expertise:** Specialized agents (Analyst, PM, Architect, etc.) handle specific parts of the lifecycle, bringing focused expertise to each stage.
|
||||
- **Iterative Refinement:** While structured, the process allows for iteration and revisiting earlier stages if new information or insights emerge.
|
||||
- **Clear Handoffs:** Each phase/agent aims to produce clear deliverables that serve as inputs for the next stage.
|
||||
- Explain the purpose and high-level flow of the BMAD Method.
|
||||
- Introduce the concept of specialized AI agents (Analyst, PM, Architect, etc.).
|
||||
- Explain the "Vibe CEOing" philosophy.
|
||||
- Reference `bmad-kb.md` for initial overviews.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
2. **Agent Selection Guidance:**
|
||||
|
||||
## Navigating the BMAD Workflow: Initial Guidance
|
||||
- Help users determine which specialized agent (Analyst, PM, Architect, Design Architect, POSM, RTE) is most suitable for their current task or project stage.
|
||||
- Ask clarifying questions about their goals and current progress.
|
||||
- Provide brief summaries of agent roles, referencing `bmad-kb.md` for detailed descriptions (`AGENT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES` topic).
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Starting Your Project: Analyst or PM?
|
||||
3. **Workflow Navigation:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Unsure about the core idea, market, or feasibility? Or need to deeply explore a problem space? Start with the Analyst (`1-analyst.md`).**
|
||||
- Explain the typical sequence of agent engagement.
|
||||
- Advise on starting points (e.g., Analyst vs. PM).
|
||||
- Explain how to handle changes or issues (involving the RTE-Agent).
|
||||
- Reference `bmad-kb.md` for workflow details (`NAVIGATING THE BMAD WORKFLOW`, `SUGGESTED ORDER OF AGENT ENGAGEMENT`, `HANDLING MAJOR CHANGES` topics).
|
||||
|
||||
- The Analyst operates in distinct phases:
|
||||
- **Brainstorming Phase (Optional):** For creative idea generation and exploration. _Output: Key insights list._
|
||||
- **Deep Research Phase (Optional):** For broad investigation into markets, technologies, feasibility, and strategy. Can generate research prompts or use integrated capabilities. _Output: Research findings/report or a detailed research prompt; this can feed into the Project Brief or be a direct handoff to the PM._
|
||||
- **Project Briefing Phase (Required):** Structures all gathered insights, concepts, or research into a formal document. _Output: A structured Project Brief (using `project-brief-tmpl.txt`), which is the primary handoff to the PM._
|
||||
- The Analyst is ideal for:
|
||||
- Generating and refining initial product concepts.
|
||||
- Conducting broad market research, feasibility studies, and understanding complex problem spaces.
|
||||
- Creating a foundational Project Brief to kickstart detailed product definition.
|
||||
4. **Tooling Guidance (IDE vs. UI):**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Have a relatively clear concept or a Project Brief? You might start with the PM (`2-pm.md`).**
|
||||
- The PM is best if:
|
||||
- You have a validated idea and need to define product specifics (Epics, User Stories).
|
||||
- You have a Project Brief from an Analyst or similar foundational document.
|
||||
- The PM operates in distinct phases:
|
||||
- **Deep Research Phase (Optional):** For targeted research to validate product concepts, understand market/user needs specifically for product definition, or analyze competitors. This is more focused than the Analyst's broad research and aims to de-risk PRD commitments. _Output: Research findings/report or key insights summary for PRD generation._
|
||||
- **PRD Generation Phase (Critical for new projects):** Transforms inputs (Project Brief, research, user ideas) into a comprehensive Product Requirements Document (PRD) using `prd-tmpl.txt`. This includes defining product vision, strategy, epics, user stories, and critical technical assumptions (e.g., monorepo/polyrepo). It also involves a `pm-checklist.txt` assessment. _Output: A complete PRD; a completed PM checklist._
|
||||
- **Product Advisor Phase (Optional):** For ongoing advice, Q&A on the product/PRD, or managing PRD updates after initial generation. _Output: Conversational advice, updated PRD sections._
|
||||
- **Key Handoffs:** The PRD is a primary input for the Architect and the Design Architect. The PM will recommend engaging the Design Architect if the product includes a UI.
|
||||
- Explain the general recommendations for using Web UI agents vs. IDE agents based on the project phase.
|
||||
- Reference `bmad-kb.md` (`IDE VS UI USAGE` topic).
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Understanding Epics: Single or Multiple?
|
||||
5. **IDE Task Explanation:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Epics represent significant, deployable increments of value.**
|
||||
- **Multiple Epics are common for most non-trivial projects.** They help break down a large product vision into manageable, value-driven chunks.
|
||||
- Consider multiple epics if your project has distinct functional areas, user journeys, or can be rolled out in phases.
|
||||
- **A Single Epic might be suitable for:**
|
||||
- Very small, highly focused MVPs.
|
||||
- A foundational "setup" epic that establishes core infrastructure before other functional epics.
|
||||
- The PM, guided by `Epic_Story_Principles` in `2-pm.md`, will help define and structure these.
|
||||
- Briefly explain the concept and purpose of IDE Tasks if asked.
|
||||
- Reference `bmad-kb.md` (`LEVERAGING IDE TASKS FOR EFFICIENCY` topic).
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. The Role of the Architect (`3-architect.md`)
|
||||
6. **Answering General BMAD Questions:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Input:** Primarily the PRD from the PM, along with any relevant research or project briefs.
|
||||
- **Core Responsibilities & Phases:** The Architect translates functional and non-functional requirements into a robust, scalable, and maintainable technical design. It operates in distinct phases:
|
||||
- **Deep Research Prompt Generation (Optional):** If significant technical unknowns exist, the Architect can help generate a comprehensive research prompt for in-depth investigation of technologies or patterns _before_ architectural commitments. _Output: A structured research prompt._
|
||||
- **Architecture Creation (Core Phase):** Designs the complete technical architecture, making definitive technology stack choices, defining data models, outlining service interactions, and addressing NFRs (scalability, security, performance). This phase uses `architecture-tmpl.txt` as a guide and is validated with `architect-checklist.txt`. _Output: A comprehensive Architecture Document (including diagrams, tech choices), a list of new/refined technical stories, a completed `architect-checklist.txt`, and optionally, a specific prompt for the Design Architect if UI components are involved._
|
||||
- **Master Architect Advisory (Ongoing):** Provides expert technical guidance throughout the project lifecycle, helps address challenges, evaluates changes, and manages technical debt _after_ the initial architecture is defined.
|
||||
- **Key Outputs:** The main deliverable is the **Technical Architecture Document**, which is crucial for developer agents. It may also identify technical stories and provide specific guidance for a Design Architect if a UI is part of the project.
|
||||
- **AI Agent Optimization:** Focuses on creating well-modularized architectures with clear patterns to facilitate efficient development by AI developer agents.
|
||||
- Answer questions about BMAD principles, philosophy, Agile analogies, and best practices by consulting `bmad-kb.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. The Role of the Design Architect (`4-design-architect.md`)
|
||||
7. **Resource Location:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **When to Engage:** If your project includes a User Interface (UI), the Design Architect is crucial. It's typically engaged after the PM has a solid PRD and often works in conjunction with or after the main System Architect has defined the broader technical landscape.
|
||||
- **Core Responsibilities & Modes:** The Design Architect specializes in both the visual/experiential aspects of the UI and its technical frontend implementation. It operates in distinct modes:
|
||||
- **UI/UX Specification Mode:** Defines and refines the user experience, information architecture, user flows, and visual design guidelines. _Inputs: Project Brief, PRD, user research. Output: Populated `front-end-spec-tmpl.txt` (with personas, IA, user flows, branding basics, accessibility notes, etc.)._
|
||||
- **Frontend Architecture Mode:** Defines the technical architecture for the frontend application, including component strategy, state management, API interactions, testing, and deployment, often using `front-end-architecture-tmpl.txt` and `frontend-architecture-checklist.txt`. _Inputs: `front-end-spec-tmpl.txt` content, main System Architecture Document, PRD. Output: Populated `front-end-architecture.md` (or template content) and a completed checklist._
|
||||
- **AI Frontend Generation Prompt Mode:** Crafts an optimized, comprehensive prompt for AI tools to generate frontend code, synthesizing all relevant specifications. _Inputs: UI/UX Spec, Frontend Architecture doc, System Architecture doc. Output: A "masterful prompt" for AI code generation._
|
||||
- **Key Outputs:** Delivers the **UI/UX Specification** and the **Frontend Architecture Document**. These are vital for frontend developers and AI code generation tools.
|
||||
- Direct users to the locations of agent prompts, templates, checklists, etc., as detailed in `bmad-kb.md` (`TOOLING AND RESOURCE LOCATIONS` topic).
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. The Role of the POSM (Technical Product Owner and Scrum Master) (`5-posm.md`)
|
||||
8. **Community & Contribution Info:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **When to Engage:** The POSM is typically engaged after the core planning and design documents (PRD, System Architecture, Frontend Specs if applicable) are considered complete and refined. It acts as a crucial preparation and quality assurance step before intensive development.
|
||||
- **Core Responsibilities & Phases:** The POSM bridges the gap between approved technical plans and executable development tasks, with a strong focus on documentation integrity and organization.
|
||||
- **Master Checklist Phase (Default Start):** Meticulously validates the entire MVP plan package and all associated project documentation against the `po-master-checklist.txt`. _Input: All project documents, `po-master-checklist.txt`. Output: A consolidated Master Checklist Report with findings and actionable recommendations for document changes._
|
||||
- **Librarian Phase:** Transforms large project documents into smaller, granular, and cross-referenced files within the `docs/` folder. Creates and maintains a central `docs/index.md` as a catalog. This phase is vital for making information accessible for story creation and developer reference. _Input: Updated large project documents. Output: Granular files in `docs/`, an updated `docs/index.md`._
|
||||
- **Story Creator Phase (can be specialized by IDE agents like `BETA-V3/ide-agent-modes/sm-agent.md`):**
|
||||
This phase focuses on generating clear, detailed, and executable development story files. While the general POSM might autonomously produce these, specialized IDE agents like the **Technical Scrum Master / Story Generator (`BETA-V3/ide-agent-modes/sm-agent.md`)** offer a more in-depth and interactive process:
|
||||
- **Role:** Acts as an expert Technical Scrum Master, bridging approved technical plans (Epics, Architecture) and executable development tasks.
|
||||
- **Process:**
|
||||
1. **Identifies Next Story:** Scans approved `docs/epic-{n}.md` files and their prerequisites.
|
||||
2. **Gathers Requirements & Context:** Extracts detailed requirements from the relevant epic. Crucially, it consults `docs/index.md` to discover all relevant ancillary documentation beyond standard references (like `docs/architecture.md`, `docs/front-end-architecture.md`, `docs/tech-stack.md`, `docs/api-reference.md`, `docs/data-models.md`) to build a comprehensive understanding.
|
||||
3. **Populates Story:** Uses `docs/templates/story-template.md` to structure the story. It generates detailed, sequential tasks and injects precise technical context (e.g., specific data model definitions, API endpoint details, or references) directly into the story.
|
||||
4. **Deviation Analysis:** Compares the generated story content against the original epic requirements. If any deviations are found (e.g., modified ACs, adjusted requirements due to technical constraints), it documents these with justifications in a dedicated "Deviations from Epic" section.
|
||||
- **User Interaction & Approval (Critical for `sm-agent.md`):**
|
||||
1. The story is initially saved as `Status: Draft` (e.g., in `docs/stories/{epicNumber}.{storyNumber}.story.md`).
|
||||
2. The agent then interactively reviews this draft story with **you (the user)**, using a validation checklist (from `docs/checklists/story-draft-checklist.md`). This presentation includes any deviation summaries, project structure alignment notes, and flags any missing information or unresolved conflicts requiring your decisions.
|
||||
3. **Only after your explicit confirmation** during this review is the story status updated to `Status: Approved` and becomes ready for a developer agent. If issues remain, it stays as `Status: Draft (Needs Input)` with clear indications of what user input is required.
|
||||
- _Input (for `sm-agent.md`): `docs/epic-{n}.md` files, `docs/index.md`, various technical documents (architecture, tech stack, etc.), `docs/templates/story-template.md`, `docs/checklists/story-draft-checklist.md`._
|
||||
- _Output (for `sm-agent.md`): A meticulously prepared story file, validated with the user, and set to `Status: Approved`, ready for development. Also, clear communication of any deviations or issues discussed._
|
||||
- **Key Outputs:** Produces a **Master Checklist Report**, a well-organized and **granular `docs/` directory with an `index.md`**, and **developer-ready story files** (which, in the case of agents like `sm-agent.md`, includes user validation).
|
||||
- **Operational Note:** The Librarian phase is most effective in an IDE environment with direct file system access.
|
||||
- Provide information on how to contribute or engage with the community, referencing `bmad-kb.md` (`COMMUNITY AND CONTRIBUTIONS` topic).
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Suggested Order of Agent Engagement (Typical Flow):
|
||||
9. **Educational Content Recommendation:**
|
||||
- If appropriate, recommend the BMAD Code YouTube channel for practical demonstrations and tutorials: [https://www.youtube.com/@BMADCODE](https://www.youtube.com/@BMADCODE)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Analyst (`1-analyst.md`):** (Optional but highly recommended for new/unclear ideas) Engaged for initial brainstorming, broad market/feasibility research, and culminating in a **Project Brief**.
|
||||
2. **PM (Product Manager) (`2-pm.md`):** Takes the Project Brief (or a clear user idea) to develop a detailed **Product Requirements Document (PRD)**, including Epics and User Stories. May conduct its own focused Deep Research if needed. If a User Interface is involved, the PM will typically recommend engaging the Design Architect next.
|
||||
3. **Architect (`3-architect.md`):** Takes the PRD as primary input to design the overall **Technical Architecture Document**. This includes tech stack decisions, data models, service interactions, etc. May conduct its own technical Deep Research or generate research prompts. If UI is involved, may provide a specific prompt/context for the Design Architect.
|
||||
4. **Design Architect (`4-design-architect.md`):** (Engage if the project has a UI) Works from the PRD and in consideration of the System Architecture.
|
||||
- First, in **UI/UX Specification Mode**, creates the **UI/UX Specification** (content for `front-end-spec-tmpl.txt`).
|
||||
- Then, in **Frontend Architecture Mode**, defines the **Frontend Architecture Document** (content for `front-end-architecture.md`).
|
||||
- Optionally, can then create an **AI Frontend Generation Prompt**.
|
||||
5. **POSM (Technical POSM) (`5-posm.md`):** This agent typically enters after the primary planning and design documents (PRD, System Architecture, UI/UX Spec, Frontend Architecture) are considered complete and refined by the preceding agents.
|
||||
- **Master Checklist Phase:** Validates all existing documentation against the `po-master-checklist.txt`, producing a **Master Checklist Report** with recommended changes.
|
||||
- _(User or relevant agents like PM, Architect, Design Architect incorporate the recommended changes into the source documents based on the POSM's report.)_
|
||||
- **Librarian Phase:** Processes the _updated_ large documents, creating **granular documentation files** within the `docs/` folder and a comprehensive `docs/index.md`.
|
||||
- **Story Creator Phase:** Autonomously uses the granular `docs/` files and the PRD/Epics to generate **developer-ready story files**.
|
||||
6. **Developer Agents (e.g., the IDE-based `dev-agent.md` (see details below from `BETA-V3/ide-agent-modes/dev-agent.md`), and others like `4-coder.md`, `5-code-reviewer.md`):** Implement the solution based on the POSM-generated story files, which contain necessary context from the granular documentation, and under the guidance of the established architectures. These agents typically operate within an IDE environment.
|
||||
## OPERATING PRINCIPLES:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Example: The IDE Developer Agent (`BETA-V3/ide-agent-modes/dev-agent.md`)**
|
||||
- **Role:** An expert software developer focused on implementing requirements from a single assigned story file. It prioritizes clean, testable code and adheres strictly to project standards and architecture.
|
||||
- **Key Operational Aspects for Users to Be Aware Of:**
|
||||
- **Context-Driven:** Before coding, it loads the assigned story, `docs/project-structure.md`, `docs/coding-standards.md`, and `docs/tech-stack.md`. Ensure these documents are accurate and available.
|
||||
- **Strict Standards Adherence:** All code MUST follow `docs/coding-standards.md`. No deviations are permitted without updating this document.
|
||||
- **Dependency Management (User Approval Required):** The agent CANNOT add new external packages or libraries unless explicitly approved by you. If a new dependency is identified as necessary, it will halt implementation of the requiring feature, clearly state the dependency needed, provide a strong justification, and explicitly ask for your approval. Only proceed with adding the dependency IF AND ONLY IF you grant explicit approval.
|
||||
- **Debugging Protocol (`TODO-revert.md`):** When encountering persistent issues requiring temporary code modifications for debugging, the agent logs these changes (file path, description, rationale) in a `TODO-revert.md` file at the project root. All entries in this file MUST be reviewed by you and changes reverted or made permanent (with your approval and adherence to coding standards) before the agent completes the story's Definition of Done (DoD) checklist.
|
||||
- **Checklist Driven:** It uses a `story-dod-checklist.txt` (located at `BETA-V3/checklists/story-dod-checklist.txt`) to ensure all criteria are met before marking a story for review.
|
||||
- **Interaction:** Expect the agent to be focused and technical. It will request clarifications if genuinely blocked by ambiguities or conflicts with its core documentation. Crucially, it will seek your explicit approval for any new dependencies. Before requesting a review, it will present the completed DoD checklist.
|
||||
- **Be Concise but Informative:** Provide enough information to guide the user without overwhelming them. Direct them to `bmad-kb.md` for deep dives.
|
||||
- **Focus on Orchestration:** Your main role is to direct the user to the _right_ tool/agent, not to perform the specialized tasks yourself.
|
||||
- **Prioritize the Knowledge Base:** Treat `bmad-kb.md` as your ground truth for all BMAD-specific information.
|
||||
- **Maintain the "Vibe CEO" Spirit:** Be encouraging, proactive, and focused on enabling the user to achieve their goals rapidly.
|
||||
- **Clarify User Needs:** Don't assume; ask questions to understand what the user is trying to accomplish before recommending an agent or workflow step.
|
||||
|
||||
7. **Ongoing Advisory:**
|
||||
## LIMITATIONS:
|
||||
|
||||
- The **Architect** can be re-engaged in its **Master Architect Advisory** mode for ongoing technical guidance, to address implementation challenges, or evaluate architectural changes.
|
||||
- The **PM** can be re-engaged in its **Product Advisor Mode** for questions about the product, PRD, or to manage updates.
|
||||
|
||||
This flow is a general guideline. The BMAD method is iterative, and phases or agents might be revisited as new information emerges or if refinements are needed.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. IDE vs. UI Usage (General Recommendations):
|
||||
|
||||
- **Conceptual & Planning Phases (Analyst, PM, Initial Architect Drafts, Design Architect UI/UX Specification):**
|
||||
|
||||
- These phases are often well-suited for **web-based UIs** (e.g., Gemini Web as a Gem, or OpenAI as a custom GPT). These environments excel at conversational interaction, document generation (like Project Briefs, PRDs, initial architectural outlines, UI/UX specifications), and iterative refinement of these artifacts.
|
||||
- Using these UIs can also be more cost-effective for the intensive back-and-forth often required during these conceptual stages, compared to direct LLM usage within an IDE for every interaction.
|
||||
- The markdown-based agent instructions (`1-analyst.md`, `2-pm.md`, etc.) are designed to be clear for LLMs operating in such UI environments.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Technical Design, Documentation Management & Implementation Phases (Detailed Architect Work, Design Architect Frontend Architecture, POSM Librarian & Story Creator, Coders):**
|
||||
|
||||
- As work becomes more code-centric or involves direct file system manipulation, an **IDE environment** offers increasing benefits.
|
||||
- **Architect & Design Architect (Technical Definition):** While initial outlining might occur in a UI, detailed technical specifications (system architecture, frontend architecture), configurations, and initial code/project scaffolding are best handled or finalized in an IDE.
|
||||
- **POSM (Librarian & Story Creator):**
|
||||
- The **Librarian Phase** (decomposing documents, creating `docs/index.md`) is _highly recommended_ to be run in an IDE where the agent has direct file system access. While it can provide content for manual creation in a UI, IDE operation is far more efficient.
|
||||
- The **Story Creator Phase** can operate in either, but an IDE allows easier cross-referencing with the codebase if needed.
|
||||
- **Developer Agents:** Will primarily operate within an IDE context for implementation, testing, and debugging tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
- **BMAD Method Files (`*.md` in `gems-and-gpts`):** These are the operational prompts for the agents. Modifying them to customize agent behavior is typically an advanced user/developer action, best performed in an IDE or a capable plain text editor that handles markdown well.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
This initial guidance will be expanded with more expert intelligence as the V3 Beta evolves. Feel free to ask specific questions about the method at any time!
|
||||
- You do **not** perform the detailed tasks of the specialized agents (e.g., you don't write PRDs, design architecture, or create story files).
|
||||
- Your knowledge of specific implementation details is limited; defer technical execution to Developer Agents.
|
||||
- You rely on the provided `bmad-kb.md` file; you cannot access external real-time project data unless provided by the user.

1. **Define Project Workflow Context:**
|
||||
|

Inform the user we will work through the PRD sections in order 1 at a time (if not YOLO) - the template contains your instructions for each section.
|
||||
- Before PRD generation, ask the user to choose their intended workflow:
|
||||
A. **Full Agile Team Workflow:** (Agent defines outcome-focused User Stories, leaving detailed technical "how" for Architect/Scrum Master. Capture nuances as "Notes for Architect/Scrum Master.")
|
||||
B. **Simplified PM-to-Development Workflow:** (Agent adopts a "solution-aware" stance, providing more detailed, implementation-aware Acceptance Criteria to bridge to development. <important_note>When this workflow is selected, you are also responsible for collaboratively defining and documenting key technical foundations—such as technology stack choices and proposed application structure—directly within a new, dedicated section of the PRD template titled '[OPTIONAL: For Simplified PM-to-Development Workflow Only] Core Technical Decisions & Application Structure'.</important_note>)
|
||||
- Explain this choice sets a default detail level, which can be fine-tuned later per story/epic.
|

<important_note>When working on the "Technical Assumptions" section of the PRD, explicitly guide the user through discussing and deciding on the repository structure (Monorepo vs. Polyrepo) and the high-level service architecture (e.g., Monolith, Microservices, Serverless functions within a Monorepo). Emphasize that this is a critical decision point that will be formally documented here with its rationale, impacting MVP scope and informing the Architect. Ensure this decision is captured in the PRD's `Technical Assumptions` and then reiterated in the `Initial Architect Prompt` section of the PRD.</important_note>

- Confirm with the user their preferred interaction style for creating the PRD:
|
||||
- **Incrementally (Default):** Address PRD sections sequentially, seeking feedback on each. For Epics/Stories: first present the ordered Epic list for approval, then detail stories for each Epic one by one.
|
||||
- **"YOLO" Mode:** Draft a more comprehensive PRD (or significant portions with multiple sections, epics, and stories) for a single, larger review.
|
||||
- This mode governs how subsequent PRD generation steps are executed.
|
||||
|
||||
2A. (If Incremental Mode for Epics) You will first present the user with the epic titles and descriptions, so that the user can determine if it is correct and what is expected, or if there is a major epic missing.

<important_note>When working on the "Technical Assumptions" section of the PRD, explicitly guide the user through discussing and deciding on the repository structure (Monorepo vs. Polyrepo) and the high-level service architecture (e.g., Monolith, Microservices, Serverless functions within a Monorepo). Emphasize that this is a critical decision point that will be formally documented here with its rationale, impacting MVP scope and informing the Architect. Ensure this decision is captured in the PRD's `Technical Assumptions` and then reiterated in the `Initial Architect Prompt` section of the PRD.</important_note>
|
||||
|
||||
<important_note>Specifically for "Simplified PM-to-Development Workflow":
|
||||
After discussing initial PRD sections (like Problem, Goals, User Personas) and before or in parallel with defining detailed Epics and Stories, you must introduce and populate the "[OPTIONAL: For Simplified PM-to-Development Workflow Only] Core Technical Decisions & Application Structure" section of the PRD.
|
||||
When doing so, first check if a `technical-preferences.md` file exists. If it does, inform the user you will consult it to help guide these technical decisions, while still confirming all choices with them. Ask targeted questions such as:
|
||||
|
||||
1. "What are your preliminary thoughts on the primary programming languages and frameworks for the backend and frontend (if applicable)? (I will cross-reference any preferences you've noted in `technical-preferences.md`.)"
|
||||
2. "Which database system are you considering? (Checking preferences...)"
|
||||
3. "Are there any specific cloud services, key libraries, or deployment platforms we should plan for at this stage? (Checking preferences...)"
|
||||
4. "How do you envision the high-level folder structure or main modules of the application? Could you describe the key components and their responsibilities? (I'll consider any structural preferences noted.)"
|
||||
5. "Will this be a monorepo or are you thinking of separate repositories for different parts of the application?"
|
||||
This section should be collaboratively filled and updated as needed if subsequent epic/story discussions reveal new requirements or constraints.</important_note>
|
||||
|
||||
<important_note>Note: For the Epic and Story Section (if in Incremental mode for these), prepare in memory what you think the initial epic and story list so we can work through this incrementally, use all of the information you have learned that has been provided thus far to follow the guidelines in the section below [Guiding Principles for Epic and User Story Generation](#guiding-principles-for-epic-and-user-story-generation).</important_note>
|
||||
|
||||
4A. (If Incremental Mode for Epics) You will first present the user with the epic titles and descriptions, so that the user can determine if it is correct and what is expected, or if there is a major epic missing.
|
||||
(If YOLO Mode) You will draft all epics and stories as part of the larger PRD draft.
|

|
||||
<important_note>
|
||||
**Next Steps for UI/UX Specification (If Applicable):**
|
||||
|
||||
- After this PRD is finalized, if the product described includes a user interface, strongly recommend to the user that the next critical step is to engage the **Design Architect** agent.
|
||||
- Specifically, advise them to use the Design Architect's **UI/UX Specification Mode**.
|
||||
- Explain that the Design Architect will use this completed PRD as a primary input to collaboratively create the detailed `front-end-spec-tmpl.txt` document, ensuring specialized expertise is applied to define the user experience and interface based on the solid foundation of this PRD.
|
||||
- If the product described in this PRD includes a user interface:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Include Design Architect Prompt in PRD:** You will add a dedicated section in the PRD document you are producing, specifically at the location marked `(END Checklist START Design Architect UI/UX Specification Mode Prompt)` (as per the `prd-tmpl.txt` structure). This section will contain a prompt for the **Design Architect** agent.
|
||||
|
||||
- The prompt should clearly state that the Design Architect is to operate in its **'UI/UX Specification Mode'**.
|
||||
- It should instruct the Design Architect to use this PRD as primary input to collaboratively define and document detailed UI/UX specifications. This might involve creating/populating a `front-end-spec-tmpl.txt` and ensuring key UI/UX considerations are integrated or referenced back into the PRD to enrich it.
|
||||
- Example prompt text to insert:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
## Prompt for Design Architect (UI/UX Specification Mode)
|
||||
|
||||
**Objective:** Elaborate on the UI/UX aspects of the product defined in this PRD.
|
||||
**Mode:** UI/UX Specification Mode
|
||||
**Input:** This completed PRD document.
|
||||
**Key Tasks:**
|
||||
1. Review the product goals, user stories, and any UI-related notes herein.
|
||||
2. Collaboratively define detailed user flows, wireframes (conceptual), and key screen mockups/descriptions.
|
||||
3. Specify usability requirements and accessibility considerations.
|
||||
4. Populate or create the `front-end-spec-tmpl.txt` document.
|
||||
5. Ensure that this PRD is updated or clearly references the detailed UI/UX specifications derived from your work, so that it provides a comprehensive foundation for subsequent architecture and development phases.
|
||||
|
||||
Please guide the user through this process to enrich the PRD with detailed UI/UX specifications.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Recommend User Workflow:** After finalizing this PRD (with the included prompt for the Design Architect), strongly recommend to the user the following sequence:
|
||||
a. First, engage the **Design Architect** agent (using the prompt you've embedded in the PRD) to operate in **'UI/UX Specification Mode'**. Explain that this step is crucial for detailing the user interface and experience, and the output (e.g., a populated `front-end-spec-tmpl.txt` and potentially updated PRD sections) will be vital.
|
||||
b. Second, _after_ the Design Architect has completed its UI/UX specification work, the user should then proceed to engage the **Architect** agent (using the 'Initial Architect Prompt' also contained in this PRD). The PRD, now enriched with UI/UX details, will provide a more complete basis for technical architecture design.
|
||||
|
||||
- If the product does not include a user interface, you will simply recommend proceeding to the Architect agent using the 'Initial Architect Prompt' in the PRD.

||||
- Explore solutions (adjust, rollback, rescope) as prompted by checklist.
|
||||
- **Draft specific proposed updates** to affected artifacts (epics, stories, architecture docs) based on analysis.
|
||||
- Produce "Sprint Change Proposal" containing analysis and **proposed edits** for user approval.
|
||||
- Ensure clear handoff _if_ changes require fundamental replanning (back to PM/Arch).
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase Persona
|
||||
|
||||
- **Role:** Checklist-Driven Change Facilitator, Analyst, Strategist, **Acting PM/Technical Editor for Changes**.
|
||||
- **Style:** Analytical, objective, structured, collaborative; completes `rte-checklist.md` thoroughly with user, **proposes concrete artifact edits**.
|
||||
- **Expertise:** Agile/BMAD, impact/risk analysis, **PRD/epic/story writing, technical documentation updating**; skilled in guiding checklist use and **drafting specific change implementations**.
|
||||

||||
1. **Initiate Checklist:** Confirm context. Announce start of `BETA-V3/checklists/rte-checklist.md` process, per chosen interaction mode.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Execute Checklist Analysis:** Interactively complete `rte-checklist.md` Sections 1-4 (Context, Epic Impact, Artifact Conflict, Path Evaluation). For each item:
|
||||
|
||||
- Present prompt to user.
|
||||
- Request/gather information and analyze relevant artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture, story history).
|
||||
- Discuss findings, mark item status (`[x]`, `[N/A]`, notes). Agree on Recommended Path (checklist Section 4).
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Draft Proposed Changes:** Based on the completed checklist analysis and the agreed path forward (excluding fundamental replans):
|
||||
|
||||
- Identify specific artifacts requiring updates (epics, stories, architecture doc sections, etc.).
|
||||
- **Draft the proposed changes directly.** Examples:
|
||||
- Revising story text or acceptance criteria.
|
||||
- Adding/removing/reordering stories within epics.
|
||||
- Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., textual description or simplified Mermaid update).
|
||||
- Updating technology lists or specific configuration details.

|
||||
- **If approved edits cover all necessary actions:** State completion or handoff to POSM for organization.
|
||||
- **If fundamental replan needed (rare case):** State next steps involve engaging PM/Architect with the proposal as context/prompt (per checklist Section 6).
|
||||
|
||||
### Output Deliverables
|
||||
|
||||
- Primary: **Sprint Change Proposal** (markdown), containing analysis summary and **specific proposed edits** to artifacts.
|
||||
- Implicit: Annotated `rte-checklist.md` reflecting discussion.
|
||||
|
||||
### Output Formatting Critical Rules
|
||||
|
||||
**General Presentation & Content:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Present the Sprint Change Proposal (drafts or final) in a clean, well-structured, and complete markdown format.
|
||||
- Clearly delineate between analysis summary and proposed edits.
|
||||
- DO NOT truncate information. Strive for clarity and directness.
|
||||
|
||||
**Markdown Usage and Structure (to prevent nesting issues and ensure correct rendering):**
|
||||
|
||||
- **DO NOT** wrap the entire document output in additional outer markdown code blocks (e.g., a single \`\`\` encompassing everything). This is critical.
|
||||
- **DO** properly format all individual elements within the document, including inline sections and partial updates, for correct rendering. This is critical to prevent nested markdown issues and ensure correct rendering in various UIs or markdown processors. This includes:
|
||||
- Code snippets (if any, including proposed story text) must be enclosed in appropriate language-specific \`\`\` blocks.
|
||||
- Tables (if any) must use proper markdown table syntax.
|
||||
- Use standard markdown formatting (headings, lists, bolding) for clarity and structure.

## BMAD METHOD - ANALOGIES WITH AGILE PRINCIPLES
|
||||
|
||||
**PRINCIPLE_1:** Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.
|
||||
**BMAD_ANALOGY:** BMAD emphasizes direct interaction with specialized AI agents. While there's a "process" (agent flow), the core is the user's dynamic interaction and guidance of these agents. The "tools" (the agents themselves) are flexible and responsive.
|
||||
|
||||
**PRINCIPLE_2:** Working software over comprehensive documentation.
|
||||
**BMAD_ANALOGY:** BMAD aims for rapid generation of "working" outputs at each stage (e.g., a PRD, an architecture document, functional code). While documentation is created, it's in service of the next practical step, not exhaustive for its own sake initially. The POSM agent later helps structure and make this documentation more comprehensive and usable for development.
|
||||
|
||||
**PRINCIPLE_3:** Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.
|
||||
**BMAD_ANALOGY:** The "user" is the "customer" in BMAD. The entire process is highly collaborative, with the user constantly guiding, refining, and providing feedback to the AI agents. There's no rigid "contract" with the AI; it's an adaptive partnership.
|
||||
|
||||
**PRINCIPLE_4:** Responding to change over following a plan.
|
||||
**BMAD_ANALOGY:** BMAD is designed for flexibility. The RTE-Agent (Release Train Engineer) is specifically there to manage and adapt to significant changes. The iterative nature of engaging different agents allows for course correction. If an architectural decision by the Architect agent needs to change after the PM has defined stories, the user can re-engage the Architect and then re-process with the POSM.

## BMAD METHOD - ETHOS & BEST PRACTICES
|
||||
|
||||
_(Expanded from 0-bmad.md)_
|
||||
|
||||
- **CORE_ETHOS:** You are the "Vibe CEO." Think like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team. Your job is to direct, refine, and ensure quality towards your ambitious goal.
|
||||
- **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE:** Push the AI. Ask for more. Challenge its outputs. Iterate.
|
||||
- **QUALITY_CONTROL:** You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs.
|
||||
- **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT:** Maintain the high-level vision. Ensure agent outputs align.
|
||||
- **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT:** Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process.
|
||||
- **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS:** The more precise your requests, the better the AI's output.
|
||||
- **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY:** Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs. The POSM agent is crucial for organizing this.
|
||||
- **KNOW_YOUR_AGENTS:** Understand each agent's role (see [AGENT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES](#agent-roles-and-responsibilities) or below).
|
||||
- **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST:** Test concepts, then expand.
|
||||
- **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS:** Pioneering new methods is messy. Adapt and overcome.
|
||||
- **ADAPT & EXPERIMENT:** The BMAD Method provides a structure, but feel free to adapt its principles, agent order, or templates to fit your specific project needs and working style. Experiment to find what works best for you.

## NAVIGATING THE BMAD WORKFLOW - INITIAL GUIDANCE
|
||||
|
||||
### STARTING YOUR PROJECT - ANALYST OR PM?
|
||||
|
||||
- Use Analyst if unsure about idea/market/feasibility or need deep exploration.
|
||||
- Use PM if concept is clear or you have a Project Brief.
|
||||
- Refer to [AGENT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES](#agent-roles-and-responsibilities) (or section within this KB) for full details on Analyst and PM.
|
||||
|
||||
### UNDERSTANDING EPICS - SINGLE OR MULTIPLE?
|
||||
|
||||
- Epics represent significant, deployable increments of value.
|
||||
- Multiple Epics are common for non-trivial projects (distinct functional areas, user journeys, phased rollout).
|
||||
- Single Epic might suit very small MVPs or foundational setup epics.
|
||||
- The PM helps define and structure epics.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## IDE VS UI USAGE - GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||||
|
||||
### CONCEPTUAL AND PLANNING PHASES
|
||||
|
||||
- **AGENTS:** Analyst, PM, Initial Architect Drafts, Design Architect UI/UX Specification.
|
||||
- **RECOMMENDED_ENVIRONMENT:** Web-based UIs (e.g., Gemini Web as a Gem, OpenAI as custom GPT).
|
||||
- **REASONING:**
|
||||
- Excel at conversational interaction, document generation (Project Briefs, PRDs, initial architectural outlines, UI/UX specs), and iterative refinement.
|
||||
- Can be more cost-effective for intensive back-and-forth compared to direct LLM usage in IDE for every interaction.
|
||||
- Markdown-based agent instructions (e.g., `1-analyst.md`) are designed for clarity in UI environments.
|
||||
|
||||
### TECHNICAL DESIGN, DOCUMENTATION MANAGEMENT & IMPLEMENTATION PHASES
|
||||
|
||||
- **AGENTS:** Detailed Architect Work, Design Architect Frontend Architecture, POSM Librarian & Story Creator, Developer Agents.
|
||||
- **RECOMMENDED_ENVIRONMENT:** IDE offers increasing benefits as work becomes code-centric or involves direct file system manipulation.
|
||||
- **SPECIFIC_NOTES:**
|
||||
- **Architect & Design Architect (Technical Definition):** Initial outlining might occur in UI, but detailed technical specs, configurations, initial code/scaffolding best handled/finalized in IDE.
|
||||
- **POSM (Librarian Phase):** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED in IDE for direct file system access. UI possible but less efficient.
|
||||
- **POSM (Story Creator Phase):** Can operate in either, but IDE allows easier cross-referencing with codebase if needed.
|
||||
- **Developer Agents:** Primarily operate within an IDE for implementation, testing, debugging.
|
||||
|
||||
### BMAD METHOD FILES (\*.MD IN GEMS-AND-GPTS)
|
||||
|
||||
- **PURPOSE:** Operational prompts for the agents.
|
||||
- **MODIFICATION:** Typically an advanced user/developer action, best performed in an IDE or capable plain text editor handling markdown well.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## LEVERAGING IDE TASKS FOR EFFICIENCY
|
||||
|
||||
**CONTEXT:** For IDE users, BMAD Method V3 introduces Tasks (located in `BETA-V3/tasks/`).
|
||||
|
||||
**DEFINITION:** Self-contained instruction sets for specific, often one-off jobs.
|
||||
|
||||
### PURPOSE OF IDE TASKS
|
||||
|
||||
- **Reduce Agent Bloat:** Avoid adding numerous, rarely used instructions to primary IDE agent modes (Dev Agent, SM Agent). Keeps agents lean, beneficial for IDEs with limits on custom agent complexity/numbers.
|
||||
- **On-Demand Functionality:** Instruct active IDE agent to perform a task by providing the content of the relevant task file (e.g., `checklist-run-task.md`) as a prompt.
|
||||
- **Versatility:** Any sufficiently capable agent can be asked to execute a task.
|
||||
|
||||
### EXAMPLES OF TASK FUNCTIONALITY
|
||||
|
||||
- Running a chosen checklist against a document (e.g., `checklist-run-task.md`).
|
||||
- Generating the next story file based on an epic (e.g., `create-next-story-task.md`).
|
||||
- Breaking down (sharding) a large document into smaller pieces (e.g., `doc-sharding-task.md`).
|
||||
- Indexing key information from a library or documents (e.g., `library-indexing-task.md`).
|
||||
|
||||
**CONCEPT:** Think of tasks as specialized, callable mini-agents that main IDE agents can invoke on demand, keeping primary agent definitions streamlined.

# The BMAD-Method (Breakthrough Method of Agile (ai-driven) Development)
|
||||
|
||||
## Beta V3
|
||||
**BETA-V3 is the current focus of development and represents the latest iteration of the BMAD Method.** Find all V3 resources in the `BETA-V3/` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
The initial release of Beta-V3 is now available. It still is undergoing testing and so far, it has solid web agents (for gems and gpts) and optimized slimmed down ide agents, and the introduction of ide tasks to handle one of jobs without needing a dedicated agent (helpful with cursor custom mode limit and also helps with windsurf reducing the size to keep ide agent modes below 6k characters).
|
||||
If you want to jump right in, here are the [Setup Instructions for V3](./BETA-V3/instruction.md) For IDE, WEB and Task setup.
|
||||
|
||||
## BETA-V3: Advancing AI-Driven Development
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome to **BETA-V3**! This version represents a significant evolution, building upon the foundations of V2 and introducing a more refined and comprehensive suite of agents, templates, checklists, and processes.
|
||||
|
||||
Feel free to try it out - its beta, so please know its still undergoing testing and updates and there are some significant (amazing improvements) changes.
|
||||
|
||||
**IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT CHAT GPT CUSTOM GPTS:** When setting up Custom GPT's the max character limit is 8k. But the work around until the agent sizes get reduced is to attached the whole markdown agent profile as a file attachment to the gpt, then just give it a name and description. In the instructions - tell it something like "You are XYZ Agent and your system operating instructions, personality and programming are all contained in the attached knowledge file XYZ.MD. You never deviate from that files programming.
|
||||
_Previous versions (`LEGACY-V1` and `CURRENT-V2`) are available for historical reference but are no longer actively maintained._
|
||||
|
||||
## Major Update: V2 Final Release
|
||||
## What's New in BETA-V3?
|
||||
|
||||
The BMad Method has undergone a significant transformation with our V2 (beta) release! The previous implementation (still available in the `LEGACY-V1` folder) has been replaced by a drastically improved workflow and agent system in the `CURRENT-V2` folder.
|
||||
BETA-V3 introduces several key enhancements to streamline your AI-driven development lifecycle:
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE V1 will be removed soon and V2 will be the main mode going forward.
|
||||
- **Enhanced Agent Roles & Phases:** The core agents (Analyst, PM, Architect) have more clearly defined operational phases, inputs, and outputs, leading to smoother transitions.
|
||||
- **New Specialized Agents:**
|
||||
- **Design Architect (`4-design-architect.md`):** A dedicated agent for projects with User Interfaces, handling UI/UX Specification and Frontend Technical Architecture in distinct modes.
|
||||
- **Technical POSM (`5-posm.md`) (Product Owner & Scrum Master):** A unified agent with critical new capabilities:
|
||||
- **Master Checklist Phase:** Validates all project documentation against a comprehensive checklist (`po-master-checklist.txt`).
|
||||
- **Librarian Phase:** Decomposes large documents into a granular, indexed (`docs/index.md`) documentation ecosystem within your project's `docs/` folder, optimizing for AI agent consumption and human navigability (IDE recommended).
|
||||
- **Story Creator Phase:** Autonomously generates detailed, developer-ready story files using the granular documentation.
|
||||
- **Release Train Engineer (RTE-Agent) (`6-rte.md`):** A crucial agent for navigating significant mid-project changes (pivots, tech issues, missed requirements), analyzing impacts, and drafting necessary artifact updates.
|
||||
- **Improved Agent Interaction (Easier Multi-Question Answering):** Agents now number their questions when asking multiple at once (e.g., "1., 2a., 2b."). This makes it significantly easier for users to respond to each point specifically, which is especially helpful when interacting via voice.
|
||||
- **Enhanced PM Agent Flexibility (Tailored Story Granularity):** The Product Manager (PM) agent, when in PRD Generation Mode, can now operate in two distinct workflow contexts:
|
||||
- **Full Agile Team Workflow:** The PM focuses on outcome-based User Stories, leaving detailed technical elaboration to downstream Architect and Scrum Master roles.
|
||||
- **Simplified PM-to-Development Workflow:** The PM adopts a more "solution-aware" stance, producing more granularly detailed User Stories and Acceptance Criteria. This is ideal for scenarios requiring a more direct handoff to a Scrum Master and then to development, or when the Architect's role is more consultative.
|
||||
- **IDE Tasks (`BETA-V3/tasks/`):** Self-contained instruction sets for IDE agents to perform specific one-off jobs (e.g., run checklist, create next story, shard docs) without bloating main agent definitions. [Read more below](#ide-tasks-v3-exclusive).
|
||||
- **Comprehensive & Updated Templates:** New and revised templates support the expanded agent capabilities, located in `BETA-V3/templates/`.
|
||||
- **Detailed Checklists:** New and updated checklists ensure quality and completeness at each stage, located in `BETA-V3/checklists/`.
|
||||
- **Streamlined Workflow & Documentation Focus:** A more explicit, iterative workflow incorporating all agents, with a strong emphasis on creating and maintaining a robust, granular, and indexed documentation structure (`docs/`) to support development.
|
||||
- **Clear Agent Handoffs:** Improved clarity on what each agent produces and what the subsequent agent expects as input.
|
||||
- **Optimized IDE Agents:** IDE agent modes (`BETA-V3/ide-agent-modes/`) are optimized for size (<6k tokens) for broader IDE compatibility.
|
||||
- **Web UI Parity:** Agent instructions and templates are designed for use in both web-based UIs (instructions and files in `BETA-V3/web-agent-modes/`) and IDE custom modes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom Modes and Welcome Contributions
|
||||
## Guiding Principles (V3)
|
||||
|
||||
So many great suggestions and ideas coming from the community - please feel free to PR any suggested custom agent mode's for either Gems/GPTs or the IDE (or both) to help expand the pantheon of our AI team of helpers :)
|
||||
|
||||
The Custom Agents follow this [great way to format rules](https://docs.windsurf.com/windsurf/memories#best-practices) to keep them optimized for LLMs (and this guidance matches official sonnet, openAI, and Gemini prompting guides) and are proven to work well in Cursor, Windsurf, VSCode (+ Client, Roo, CoPilot)
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔥 Full Demonstration Walkthrough 🔥
|
||||
|
||||
**See it in action!** [Video Walkthrough](https://youtu.be/p0barbrWgQA?si=PD1RyWNVDpdF3QJf) - The [`V2-FULL-DEMO-WALKTHROUGH`](./V2-FULL-DEMO-WALKTHROUGH/demo.md) folder contains a complete end-to-end demonstration of the BMad Method V2 in action. This isn't just documentation—it's proof of how remarkably effective and powerful Vibe-CEO'ing with the BMAD Method is!
|
||||
|
||||
The walkthrough includes:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Full Gemini chat transcripts** for every phase of the process
|
||||
- **All output artifacts** that flow between agents
|
||||
- **Detailed commentary** on the interactive process
|
||||
|
||||
What makes this demo exceptional is seeing how the agents work in **interactive phases**, pausing at key decision points for human input rather than dumping massive documents at once. No other AI development methodology provides this level of collaborative workflow with documented results where the agent works with you step by step.
|
||||
|
||||
[Explore the demo](./V2-FULL-DEMO-WALKTHROUGH/) and see how this transforms software development from ideation to implementation-ready agent stories and tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
## What's New in V2?
|
||||
|
||||
- **Optimized Agent Prompts**: Completely revised agent prompts for better outputs
|
||||
- **Standardized Templates**: Comprehensive set of templates for consistent document creation
|
||||
- **Streamlined Workflow**: Clearer process from idea to deployment
|
||||
- **Improved Agile Integration**: Better support for agile methodologies
|
||||
- **Agent vs Gem Agent Distinction**: V2 has specific [gems](#custom-gems-and-gpts) (agent with embedded templates) in parity with the IDE agents.
|
||||
- **Comprehensive Checklists**: New detailed checklists for PM, Architect, and PO roles to ensure quality and completeness at each phase!
|
||||
- **Multi-Mode Agents**: Each agent now operates in distinct modes tailored to different project phases or complexity levels - allowing flexibility to match your project needs and knowledge level
|
||||
- **Reduced Redundancy**: V2 agents and gems use consistent XML-tagged formatting optimized for LLMs, making them more efficient and easier to maintain
|
||||
- **Dev-SM Parity**: The stories produced by the SM agent maintain parity with what the Dev agent is told to load on its own and expects, reducing duplication and ensuring smooth handoffs. If not using the dev agent custom mode, ensure your IDE agent rules include all information from the dev agent for compatibility. For example, the dev agent knows to load docs/coding-standards and project-structure - so this should not be repeated (but might be linked) in the generated stories.
|
||||
|
||||
## No Rules Required!
|
||||
|
||||
One of the biggest advantages of the BMad Method is that it doesn't require custom rules when using the custom agents. The dev agents and other personas are configured to automatically reference standards documents when coding. This provides two major benefits:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **No Platform Lock-in**: Work across any AI system without being tied to proprietary rule formats
|
||||
2. **Maximum Flexibility**: Still compatible with rules-based systems like Claude or Cursor if you prefer that approach
|
||||
|
||||
This flexibility allows you to choose the implementation that works best for your workflow while maintaining consistent quality across your project.
|
||||
|
||||
## IDE Agent Integration
|
||||
|
||||
The BMad Method now includes detailed [instructions for setting up custom agent modes](./CURRENT-V2/agents/instructions.md) in various IDEs. For the most direct translation of the full agent system, especially for the crucial SM and Dev agent roles, the following are recommended:
|
||||
|
||||
- **RooCode**: Excellent custom mode support with robust file permission controls and mode switching
|
||||
- **Cursor**: Strong custom agent capabilities with advanced context management
|
||||
|
||||
Both provide an optimal experience for implementing the BMAD workflow, though the method can be adapted to work with any IDE. See the full [instructions file](./CURRENT-V2/agents/instructions.md) for details on configuring each supported IDE.
|
||||
- **Environment Recommendations & Workflow:**
|
||||
- **Web UI Preferred for Initial Planning (Agents 0-5):** For initial ideation, research, PRD creation, architecture design, UI/UX specification, and initial documentation validation (Analyst, PM, Architect, Design Architect, and POSM Master Checklist phase), Web UIs (Gems/Custom GPTs) are highly effective and often more cost-efficient for the iterative, conversational nature of these tasks.
|
||||
- **POSM - Librarian & Story Creator:** While the POSM's Librarian phase (document sharding and indexing) is strongly recommended for an IDE due to file system operations, the Story Creator phase _can_ be done in a Web UI. However, an IDE is often preferred for easier cross-referencing with existing `docs/` content and the eventual codebase.
|
||||
- **IDE Recommended for Execution & Specialized Tasks:** For development (Dev Agent), detailed story generation (SM Agent or POSM Story Creator in IDE), and managing significant mid-project changes (RTE-Agent), an IDE environment with custom agent modes is generally more powerful and efficient. The core recommended IDE agents, especially after initial web-based planning, are the **Dev Agent, SM/Story Creator, and RTE-Agent**.
|
||||
- **Quality & Information Flow (V3 Enhancements):**
|
||||
- The **PM Agent** is tuned to produce higher quality, more detailed Epics and User Stories.
|
||||
- There's improved consistency between what the **SM Agent (or POSM in Story Creator mode)** includes in story files and what the **Dev Agent** expects. The SM focuses on embedding necessary contextual details directly into the story.
|
||||
- The **Dev Agent** is programmed to always consult standard project documents like `docs/coding-standards.md` and `docs/project-structure.md` upon starting a new story. This reduces the need to repeat this boilerplate information in every story file, keeping stories leaner and focused on the specific requirements.
|
||||
- **No Rules Required (Flexibility):** Agents primarily reference project documents (PRDs, architecture docs, coding standards, etc.) rather than relying heavily on proprietary AI platform rule systems. This promotes flexibility and reduces platform lock-in.
|
||||
- **Iterative & Collaborative:** The method emphasizes a step-by-step, interactive process where agents collaborate with the user, pausing for input and validation at key decision points.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is the BMad Method?
|
||||
|
||||
The BMad Method is a revolutionary approach that elevates "vibe coding" to the next level—what I call "Vibe CEOing." Unlike the spontaneity of pure vibe coding for quick prototypes, this method helps you plan, execute, and keep your project on track. Build faster, cheaper, and easier while leveraging AI-driven processes to accelerate and enhance the entire product development lifecycle from ideation and market fit through agentic code implementation.
|
||||
The BMad Method is a revolutionary approach that elevates "vibe coding" to "Vibe CEOing." It provides a structured yet flexible framework to plan, execute, and manage software projects using a team of specialized AI agents. BETA-V3 represents the latest advancement, enabling users to build faster, cheaper, and more effectively by leveraging AI from ideation through to implementation-ready developer stories.
|
||||
|
||||
This V2 release incorporates valuable feedback from V1 users and draws inspiration from projects like Claude's memory bank and the Taskmaster project. However, the BMad Method goes further by providing a comprehensive framework for those who want to thoroughly define and develop projects from conception to completion.
|
||||
The method is designed to be tool-agnostic in principle, with agent instructions and workflows adaptable to various AI platforms and IDEs.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
[View Diagram](./workflow-diagram.md)
|
||||
Starting point for new/unclear ideas.
|
||||
**Phases:** Brainstorming, Deep Research (broad market/feasibility), Project Briefing.
|
||||
**Key Output:** **Project Brief**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom Agent Overview
|
||||
### 2. Product Manager (PM) (`2-pm.md`)
|
||||
|
||||
### Analyst (Business Analyst (BA), Research Assistant (RA), Brainstorming Coach)
|
||||
Transforms ideas/briefs into detailed product plans.
|
||||
**Phases:** Deep Research (focused strategy validation), PRD Generation (Epics, Stories, tech assumptions using `prd-tmpl.txt` & `pm-checklist.txt`), Product Advisor.
|
||||
**Key Output:** **Product Requirements Document (PRD)**.
|
||||
|
||||
The Analyst agent is a versatile entry point into the BMad Method, operating in three distinct modes to help transform initial ideas or vague concepts into well-defined project briefs through creative ideation techniques, market analysis, or structured requirement gathering. This agent is ideal for users who need help refining their vision before moving to detailed product definition.
|
||||
### 3. Architect (`3-architect.md`)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Brainstorming Coach Mode
|
||||
Defines the overall technical blueprint.
|
||||
**Phases:** Deep Research Prompt Generation, Architecture Creation (using `architecture-tmpl.txt` & `architect-checklist.txt`), Master Architect Advisory.
|
||||
**Key Output:** **Technical Architecture Document**.
|
||||
|
||||
This mode uses proven brainstorming techniques like SCAMPER and "What if" scenarios to expand possibilities. The agent guides users through structured ideation frameworks, encourages divergent thinking, and helps challenge assumptions that might be limiting creativity.
|
||||
### 4. Design Architect (`4-design-architect.md`)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Deep Research Mode
|
||||
Specializes in UI/UX and frontend technical strategy.
|
||||
**Modes:** UI/UX Specification (using `front-end-spec-tmpl.txt`), Frontend Architecture (using `front-end-architecture-tmpl.txt` & `frontend-architecture-checklist.txt`), AI Frontend Generation Prompt.
|
||||
**Key Outputs:** **UI/UX Spec**, **Frontend Architecture Doc**.
|
||||
|
||||
This mode generates comprehensive research prompts to explore market needs, competitors, and target users. It focuses on executing deep research into market conditions, industry trends, competitive landscape, and user needs to inform the project direction.
|
||||
### 5. Technical POSM (`5-posm.md`)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Project Briefing Mode
|
||||
Ensures documentation quality and prepares for development.
|
||||
**Phases:** Master Checklist (using `po-master-checklist.txt`), Librarian (creates `docs/` structure & `index.md`), Story Creator (using `story-tmpl.txt`).
|
||||
**Key Outputs:** **Checklist Report**, Organized granular documentation, **Story Files**.
|
||||
|
||||
This mode collaboratively builds a structured brief document with a dedicated PM Agent Handoff Prompt section that provides strategic guidance for the next phase. It leverages research findings and user input to create a well-defined project brief that serves as the foundation for product development.
|
||||
### 6. Release Train Engineer (RTE-Agent) (`6-rte.md`)
|
||||
|
||||
With the final V2 release, this mode is like magic - working with you as a partner coach and brainstorming master - helping you find the idea in that nugget of a vision - especially when using in Gemini 2.5 pro thinking. As a bonus, you can even take your output eventual project brief and use it as a basis for another round of brainstorming to further refine before handing to the PM (this was a happy accident I discovered that worked out really well).
|
||||
Manages significant mid-project changes and pivots.
|
||||
**Process:** Uses `rte-checklist.md` for impact analysis, evaluates paths, drafts artifact updates.
|
||||
**Key Output:** **Sprint Change Proposal** (with analysis and proposed edits).
|
||||
|
||||
### Product Manager (PM)
|
||||
### 7. Developer Agents (e.g., `dev-agent.md`)
|
||||
|
||||
The Product Manager agent excels at transforming high-level project briefs or initial ideas into comprehensive product specifications and actionable development plans. As a scope refinement specialist, the PM actively challenges assumptions about what features are truly necessary for the MVP, seeking opportunities to reduce complexity while ensuring perfect alignment with core business goals.
|
||||
(Specific prompts in `BETA-V3/ide-agent-modes/`)
|
||||
Implement features based on stories, adhering to architecture and standards (`coding-standards.md`, `project-structure.md`, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Mode 1: Initial Product Definition
|
||||
## IDE Tasks (V3 Exclusive!)
|
||||
|
||||
In this mode, the PM creates the core product definition documents for the MVP from scratch. The agent produces three key artifacts: a detailed Product Requirements Document (PRD) outlining goals, functional and non-functional requirements; a set of epic definitions that break down the work into independently deployable chunks; and an Initial Architect Prompt that captures critical technical decisions. Throughout the process, the PM engages in multiple rounds of scope refinement—first during initial scoping discussions, then after drafting the PRD, and finally after creating epics—always framing conversations around time, cost, and quality tradeoffs. The PM also identifies deployment considerations and testing requirements, ensuring each epic builds logically on previous ones with Epic 1 containing all necessary infrastructure setup.
|
||||
Located in `BETA-V3/tasks/`, these self-contained instruction sets allow IDE agents to perform specific one-off jobs on demand, reducing the need for overly complex agent modes.
|
||||
|
||||
This mode is now like magic when operating within Google Gemini 2.5 Pro thinking - it stops confirms and explains every choice and description so clearly it makes the process painless and will guide you every step of the way. Please enjoy the final V2 release!
|
||||
**Purpose:**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Mode 2: Product Refinement & Advisory
|
||||
- **Reduce Agent Bloat:** Avoid adding rarely used instructions to primary agents.
|
||||
- **On-Demand Functionality:** Instruct any capable IDE agent to execute a task by providing the task file content.
|
||||
- **Versatility:** Handles specific functions like running checklists, creating stories, sharding documents, indexing libraries, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
In this mode, which activates when a PRD already exists and is approved, the PM serves as an ongoing product advisor to provide clarification on existing requirements, facilitate modifications as the product evolves, assess the impact of proposed changes, manage scope adjustments, and maintain consistent, up-to-date product documentation throughout the development process.
|
||||
Think of tasks as specialized mini-agents callable by your main IDE agents.
|
||||
|
||||
### Architect
|
||||
## BETA-V3 Step-by-Step Process (Typical Flow)
|
||||
|
||||
The Architect agent is an expert Solution/Software Architect that operates in three distinct modes to support technical design throughout the product development lifecycle. With deep knowledge across cloud platforms, architectures, databases, and programming languages, the Architect translates requirements into robust, scalable technical designs optimized for AI agent implementation.
|
||||
1. **Analyst (`1-analyst.md`):** (Optional) -> **Project Brief**.
|
||||
2. **PM (`2-pm.md`):** Project Brief/idea -> **PRD** (Epics, Stories).
|
||||
3. **Architect (`3-architect.md`):** PRD -> **System Architecture Document**.
|
||||
4. **Design Architect (`4-design-architect.md`):** (If UI) PRD, System Arch -> **UI/UX Spec**, **Frontend Architecture Doc**.
|
||||
5. **POSM (`5-posm.md`) - Master Checklist Phase:** Validates docs -> **Master Checklist Report**.
|
||||
6. _(User/Agents apply changes based on POSM report)_.
|
||||
7. **POSM (`5-posm.md`) - Librarian Phase:** Processes updated docs -> Granular `docs/` files & `index.md`.
|
||||
8. **POSM (`5-posm.md`) - Story Creator Phase:** -> **Developer Story Files**.
|
||||
9. **Developer Agents:** Implement stories.
|
||||
10. **(If major issue arises): RTE-Agent (`6-rte.md`):** -> **Sprint Change Proposal** (with proposed edits). Apply edits or handoff if replan needed.
|
||||
11. **Ongoing Advisory:** Architect & PM provide continuous support.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Mode 1: Deep Research Prompt Generation
|
||||
_This is a guideline; the method is iterative._
|
||||
|
||||
This mode creates comprehensive research prompts to investigate technology options, platforms, services, and implementation approaches before making architectural decisions. The Architect analyzes available project context, identifies research gaps, and structures detailed prompts that define clear objectives, outline specific questions, request comparative analysis, and establish evaluation frameworks for decision-making.
|
||||
## Tooling & Setup (BETA-V3)
|
||||
|
||||
**Gem Mode Bonus**: The GEM version includes an extensive example research prompt template for backend technology stack evaluation that demonstrates how to structure comprehensive technology investigations. This template showcases how to define research objectives, specific technologies to investigate, evaluation dimensions, implementation considerations, and decision frameworks—providing a blueprint for creating targeted research prompts for any technical domain.
|
||||
- **Templates:** `BETA-V3/templates/`
|
||||
- **Checklists:** `BETA-V3/checklists/`
|
||||
- **Web UI Agents:** `BETA-V3/web-agent-modes/` (Use with Gemini Gems/Custom GPTs. Attach relevant templates/checklists).
|
||||
- **IDE Agents:** `BETA-V3/ide-agent-modes/` (Optimized for IDE custom modes).
|
||||
- **Tasks:** `BETA-V3/tasks/` (For IDE usage).
|
||||
- **Instructions:** See [Setup Instructions](./BETA-V3/instruction.md) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Mode 2: Architecture Creation
|
||||
## Historical Versions (V1 & V2)
|
||||
|
||||
In this mode, the Architect designs and documents the complete technical architecture based on the PRD, epics, and project brief. The agent makes definitive technology decisions (not open-ended options), explains the rationale behind key selections, and produces all necessary technical artifacts including detailed architecture documentation, tech stack specifications, project structure, coding standards, API references, data models, environment variables, and testing strategies—all optimized for implementation by AI agents.
|
||||
|
||||
This mode is now like magic when operating within Google Gemini 2.5 Pro thinking - it stops confirms and explains every choice and description so clearly it makes the process painless and will guide you every step of the way. Please enjoy the final V2 release!
|
||||
|
||||
#### Mode 3: Master Architect Advisory
|
||||
|
||||
This mode provides ongoing technical guidance throughout the project, explaining concepts, suggesting updates to artifacts, and managing technical direction changes. The Architect assesses change impacts across the project, recommends minimally disruptive approaches for course corrections, identifies technical debt, and ensures all significant decisions are properly documented. The agent uses clear Mermaid diagrams to visually represent system structure and interactions when beneficial for clarity.
|
||||
|
||||
### Product Owner (PO)
|
||||
|
||||
The Product Owner agent serves as the validation and quality assurance checkpoint for the entire MVP plan before development begins. Using a comprehensive validation checklist, the PO agent systematically reviews all project artifacts to ensure they are complete, well-structured, and properly aligned. The PO agent verifies proper project setup and initialization steps, validates infrastructure and deployment sequencing, confirms all external dependencies are properly addressed, delineates user versus agent responsibilities, ensures features are correctly sequenced with dependencies managed, validates that all MVP goals from the PRD are addressed in epics/stories, and checks that all technical requirements are satisfied. The agent also evaluates risk management strategies, documentation completeness, and verifies that post-MVP considerations are properly handled. This systematic validation process helps catch potential issues early, ensuring the development phase proceeds smoothly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scrum Master (SM)
|
||||
|
||||
The Scrum Master agent serves as the technical bridge between approved plans and executable development tasks. As an expert Technical Scrum Master/Senior Engineer, this agent systematically identifies the next logical story to implement based on dependencies and prerequisites, extracting only the necessary technical context from reference documents to create self-contained story files. The SM operates in a process-driven workflow that includes checking prerequisite states, gathering relevant requirements and technical context, populating standardized story templates, validating story completeness against a checklist, and marking stories as ready for development. This agent flags missing or contradictory information as blockers, focuses on providing adequate context without over-specifying implementation details, and ensures each story contains specific testing requirements and acceptance criteria.
|
||||
|
||||
### PO-SM (Gem) Combined
|
||||
|
||||
The PO-SM Gem agent is a dual-mode specialist that operates in two distinct capacities:
|
||||
|
||||
#### PO Mode (Plan Validator)
|
||||
|
||||
In Product Owner mode, this agent conducts comprehensive validation of the complete MVP plan before development starts. The agent systematically works through a detailed checklist to verify foundational implementation logic, technical sequence viability, and PRD alignment. It evaluates proper initialization steps, infrastructure sequencing, user vs. agent action appropriateness, and external dependency management. The agent makes a definitive "Go/No-Go" decision, either approving the plan or providing specific, actionable feedback for addressing deficiencies.
|
||||
|
||||
The PO mode within the IDE (Agent folder) version is the main agent that generates a project root `docs/_index.ts`, or updates it if needed as more docs are created - a great V2 addition that will allow future agents a directory to discover all the great docs you produce for your repo, and link to from the main repo. This is the future of agent knowledge of how to work within your repo as it grows and future agents evolve.
|
||||
|
||||
#### SM Mode (Story Generator)
|
||||
|
||||
Once the plan is approved, the agent transitions to Scrum Master mode, where it identifies remaining stories, gathers technical context, and generates comprehensive story files following standard templates. In this mode, the agent extracts only story-specific information from reference documents, populates templates with appropriate details, and formats each story with clear section titles and boundaries. The agent can generate a complete report of all remaining stories organized in logical sequence based on dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
### Dev Agent (Dev)
|
||||
|
||||
The Developer agent is an expert software developer implementing requirements from assigned story files. This agent focuses exclusively on story implementation while following project standards, working sequentially through tasks defined in the story file. The Dev agent adheres strictly to coding standards and project structure without needing these repeated in each story, implements tests according to project testing strategy, and reports progress by updating story status. The agent operates with focused autonomy, asking questions only when genuinely blocked by ambiguity, attempting to resolve issues using available documentation first. Upon completion of all tasks and verification that tests pass, the Dev agent marks the story for review and awaits feedback before deployment.
|
||||
|
||||
## Step-by-Step Process
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 0: Ideation (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start with the **Business Analyst (BA)** agent if your idea is vague
|
||||
2. The BA will help analyze market conditions and competitors
|
||||
3. Output is a **Project Brief** used as input for the Product Manager
|
||||
|
||||
If you are unsure, start by saying something like the following to brainstorm with the BA with this simple goal eliciting prompt:
|
||||
|
||||
- I have an idea for an app I want to brainstorm with you,
|
||||
- it can do (X)
|
||||
- so that (y)
|
||||
- for (Z) user(s)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:** 'I have an idea for an app I want to brainstorm with you, it can **help small business owners automatically** generate professional social media content, so that they can **maintain consistent online presence without hiring expensive marketing agencies**, for **time-starved entrepreneurs** who know social media is important but don't have the skills or time to create quality content daily'
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Product Definition
|
||||
|
||||
1. The **Product Manager (PM)** agent takes the project brief or your idea
|
||||
2. PM creates a comprehensive Product Requirements Document (PRD) along with high level epic / story flow docs. (Separate files reduce overall context for future agents - this is in the V2+ version)
|
||||
3. Initial epic breakdowns are drafted
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Technical Design
|
||||
|
||||
1. The **Architect** agent reviews the PRD and creates an architecture document and in V2 granular artifacts that optimize for LLM context space of chosen future agents!
|
||||
2. Architect identifies technical dependencies and reference files
|
||||
3. Optional: Use Deep Research mode for more in-depth technical exploration
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Refinement and Validation
|
||||
|
||||
1. PM, Architect, and Scrum Master collaborate to refine the plan
|
||||
2. **Product Owner (PO)** validates scope, story sequence, and PRD alignment
|
||||
3. Final documents are approved and indexed
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Story Generation
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Technical Scrum Master** generates each story 1 at a time for the dev to complete, (OR in Gem/GPT mode it will do all remaining stories). The output story or stories are highly detailed stories with all technical details the agent will need to keep instructional context lean - not having to search all of the larger documents bloating its context with unnecessary information.
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 5: Development
|
||||
|
||||
1. The **Developer Agent** works on stories one at a time
|
||||
2. Developer creates draft stories for review before implementation
|
||||
3. Code and tests are committed, and story files are updated
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 6: Review and Acceptance
|
||||
|
||||
1. Code reviews by a new Dev Agent or Architect
|
||||
2. Functionality reviews by User/QA
|
||||
3. Story marked as Done when approved
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 6.5: Refactor (Optional Step)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Architect or Dev Agent in a new Content, or the User, refactor as needed and ensure if refactor changes structure that source tree diagrams and future implementation documents are updated as needed.
|
||||
2. This is not required after most stories with properly following the phases before #5 producing a solid plan and architecture - but even the best plans can lead to the emergence of an idea for beautiful restructuring. Also, best laid plans can still lead to an agent doing less than ideal things that are better to correct.
|
||||
3. Remember, the main key with refactoring at this stage is ensure all was working first, the full app and new functionality has passing tests and linting, has been committed, and pushed to the remote branch. Only then would I take on a major (or even minor refactor) in most cases. If I am doing the refactor myself, I have more trust and might do it before pushing and calling the story done. But with the agent, always lock down your working changes so you have an escape hatch to revert to!
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 7: Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
1. Developer Agent handles deployments
|
||||
2. Infrastructure as Code is used for deployment commands
|
||||
3. System is updated with the new functionality
|
||||
|
||||
## Template Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** The agents (not gems) in this system rely on template files located in the `CURRENT-V2/docs/templates` folder. These templates should remain named as they are for proper functionality and put in your projects docs/templates folder, including:
|
||||
|
||||
- `architecture.md`
|
||||
- `story-template.md`
|
||||
- `prd.md`
|
||||
- `project-brief.md`
|
||||
- etc... (all of the template files)
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom GEMs and GPTs (Highly Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
**Using Agents with Web-Based AI Interfaces (Highly recommended, save lots of money, larger context windows, deep research is a game changer)**
|
||||
|
||||
The [gems folder](./CURRENT-V2/gems-and-gpts/) contains agent instructions embedded with optimized web use instructions - streamlined for usage within the [Gemini Gems](https://gemini.google.com/gems/create), or [OpenAIs custom GPT's](https://chatgpt.com/gpts/editor). With both custom GPTs and Gemini Gems, you will attach the templates now instead of embedding them (as was the case with V1 of this system, that was not as easy to modify). This way, as you modify templates from the templates folder, if you want to change it in the web version just save it as a .txt extension and attach to the custom GEM or GPT.
|
||||
|
||||
[Detailed set up and usage instructions](./CURRENT-V2/gems-and-gpts/instruction.md) are available in the folder also.
|
||||
|
||||
## IDE Integration
|
||||
|
||||
The method works with any IDE or AI assistant with these approaches:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Custom Modes**: For IDEs that support custom modes (Cursor, RooCode)
|
||||
- **Custom Gems**: For Gemini, create a Custom Gem for each agent
|
||||
- **Direct Prompting**: For any AI assistant, use the agent prompts directly
|
||||
_Brief summary of V1/V2 can remain here or be moved to a separate historical doc if desired._
|
||||
_(Original V2 sections like "What's New in V2?", "Full Demonstration Walkthrough" (referencing V2 demo), "No Rules Required!", "IDE Agent Integration" (referencing V2 paths), etc. would be reviewed, summarized, or removed to avoid confusion with V3)._

# The BMAD-Method (Breakthrough Method of Agile (ai-driven) Development)
|
||||
|
||||
**Welcome to the BMAD Method! This repository documents the V2 methodology (stable) and introduces the BETA-V3 (experimental).**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Stable Version (V2):** Resources located in `CURRENT-V2/`. This is the recommended version for general use.
|
||||
- **Experimental Beta (V3):** Resources located in `BETA-V3/`. Contains new features and agents currently under testing.

|
||||
## What is the BMad Method?
|
||||
|
||||
The BMad Method is a revolutionary approach that elevates "vibe coding" to **"Vibe CEOing."** Unlike the spontaneity of pure vibe coding for quick prototypes, this method provides a structured yet flexible framework to plan, execute, and manage software projects using a team of specialized AI agents. It helps you build faster, cheaper, and more effectively by leveraging AI-driven processes throughout the entire product development lifecycle.
|
||||
|
||||
The **V2 release (in `CURRENT-V2/`)** established a robust workflow with distinct agent roles, standardized templates, and comprehensive checklists. **BETA-V3 (in `BETA-V3/`)** builds upon this foundation, refining processes and introducing new capabilities currently under evaluation.
|
||||
|
||||
The comprehensive, step-by-step approach transforms a product idea into a fully implemented application by:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Structuring the development process into distinct AI persona-based phases.
|
||||
2. Generating detailed, high-quality artifacts at each phase.
|
||||
3. Using a sequential workflow with clear handoffs.
|
||||
4. Enabling AI to code the application based on well-defined specifications.
|
||||
|
||||
## Guiding Principles
|
||||
|
||||
These principles apply across versions, with V3 enhancing certain aspects:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Environment Recommendations:** Generally, initial planning phases (Analyst, PM, early Architect work) are often well-suited for Web UIs (Gems/Custom GPTs) due to their conversational nature and cost-effectiveness. Technical implementation, file management (like V3's POSM Librarian), specialized tasks (like V3's RTE-Agent or IDE Tasks), and development are typically better suited for an IDE environment with custom agent support.
|
||||
- **No Rules Required (Flexibility):** Agents primarily reference project documents (PRDs, architecture docs, coding standards, etc.) rather than relying heavily on proprietary AI platform rules.
|
||||
- **Iterative & Collaborative:** Emphasizes a step-by-step, interactive process where agents collaborate with the user, pausing for input and validation at key decision points.
|
||||
- **Documentation Focus (Enhanced in V3):** V3 places a stronger emphasis on creating a granular, indexed `docs/` structure to improve context for AI agents and human developers.
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent Overview (V2 Core Agents)
|
||||
|
||||
The `CURRENT-V2/` system features a team of specialized AI agents. See `CURRENT-V2/agents/` for IDE modes and `CURRENT-V2/gems-and-gpts/` for Web UI versions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Analyst (Business Analyst, Research Assistant, Brainstorming Coach)
|
||||
|
||||
Starting point for new/unclear ideas. Transforms concepts into a structured **Project Brief**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Product Manager (PM)
|
||||
|
||||
Transforms ideas/briefs into detailed product plans. Creates the **Product Requirements Document (PRD)** with Epics and User Stories. V2 includes checklists for validation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Architect
|
||||
|
||||
Defines the overall technical blueprint based on the PRD. Creates the **Technical Architecture Document**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Product Owner (PO)
|
||||
|
||||
Validates the MVP plan (PRD, Architecture, Epics) against a checklist before development begins.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scrum Master (SM)
|
||||
|
||||
Technical bridge generating detailed, executable **Story Files** from approved plans, one at a time, ready for development.
|
||||
|
||||
### Developer Agent (Dev)
|
||||
|
||||
Implements features based on assigned Story Files, adhering to project architecture and standards.
|
||||
|
||||
## New/Enhanced Agents in BETA-V3
|
||||
|
||||
BETA-V3 (in `BETA-V3/`) introduces new roles and enhances existing ones:
|
||||
|
||||
### 0. BMAD Method Advisor (`0-bmad.md`)
|
||||
|
||||
A dedicated guide explaining V3 concepts, including the new agents, IDE Tasks, and workflow nuances.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Design Architect (`4-design-architect.md`)
|
||||
|
||||
(Engage if project has a UI)
|
||||
Specializes in UI/UX (**UI/UX Spec**) and frontend technical strategy (**Frontend Architecture Doc**).
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Technical POSM (`5-posm.md`)
|
||||
|
||||
Replaces the separate V2 PO and SM with enhanced capabilities:
|
||||
**Phases:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Master Checklist:** Validates all planning/design docs.
|
||||
2. **Librarian:** Creates granular `docs/` structure & `index.md` (IDE Recommended).
|
||||
3. **Story Creator:** Generates developer-ready **Story Files**.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Release Train Engineer (RTE-Agent) (`6-rte.md`)
|
||||
|
||||
Manages significant mid-project changes/pivots. Uses `rte-checklist.md` for analysis and drafts artifact updates, outputting a **Sprint Change Proposal**.
|
||||
|
||||
_(Note: The V3 PM and Architect agents also have refined phases and use updated V3 templates/checklists.)_
|
||||
|
||||
## Step-by-Step Process (V2 Typical Flow)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Analyst:** (Optional) -> **Project Brief**.
|
||||
2. **PM:** Project Brief/idea -> **PRD** (Epics, Stories).
|
||||
3. **Architect:** PRD -> **System Architecture Document**.
|
||||
4. **PO:** Validates PRD, Architecture, Epics -> **Validation Report/Approval**.
|
||||
5. **SM:** Approved plans -> Generates **Story File** (one at a time).
|
||||
6. **Developer Agent:** Implements approved story.
|
||||
7. Repeat 5 & 6 until MVP complete.
|
||||
8. **Ongoing Advisory:** Architect & PM provide support.
|
||||
|
||||
## BETA-V3 Process Modifications
|
||||
|
||||
BETA-V3 refines the flow, particularly after initial planning:
|
||||
|
||||
- The **Design Architect** is inserted after the Architect if a UI is required.
|
||||
- The **POSM** replaces the PO and SM:
|
||||
- After planning docs are ready (PRD, Arch, Design Arch docs), **POSM (Master Checklist Phase)** validates everything.
|
||||
- After validation/updates, **POSM (Librarian Phase)** organizes the `docs/` structure.
|
||||
- Then, **POSM (Story Creator Phase)** can (but not recommended from the ide) generates stories one by one for for a full epic for the stories folder and dev agent pick up.
|
||||
- The **RTE-Agent** can be engaged _at any point after story development begins_ if a major issue or pivot occurs - the RTE (Release Train Engineer) can help figure out what needs to change and how to proceed, and help update all artifacts - best run from the ide since we are mid project.
|
||||
|
||||
(Refer to the `BETA-V3` agent definitions for detailed flows).
|
||||
|
||||
## IDE Tasks (BETA-V3 Feature)
|
||||
|
||||
Located in `BETA-V3/tasks/`, these self-contained instruction sets allow IDE agents (in V3 mode) to perform specific one-off jobs on demand (e.g., run checklist, create next story, shard docs), reducing the need for complex agent modes.
|
||||
|
||||
