"What reference data will users need to provide?" +8. "What domain-specific knowledge should be embedded in the expansion pack?" +9. "What quality standards or compliance requirements exist in this field?" +10. "What are the typical workflow decision points where users need guidance?" + +### Planning Phase + +1. "Here's the proposed plan. Please review and approve before we continue." + +### Orchestrator Character and Command Design + +1. "What natural leadership role exists in {domain}? (e.g., Office Manager, Project Lead, Department Head)" +2. "What should the orchestrator character's name and professional background be to match this role?" +3. "What communication style fits this domain role? (medical professional, legal formal, tech agile)" +4. "What domain-specific commands should the orchestrator support using numbered options?" +5. "How many specialist agents will this pack include? (determines if team/workflow required)" +6. "What's the typical workflow from start to finish, including decision points?" +7. "Where in the workflow should users choose between different paths?" +8. "How should the orchestrator hand off to specialist agents?" +9. "What quality gates should be built into the workflow?" +10.

"What format should this data be in?" +3. "Can you provide a sample?" + +## Critical Advanced Considerations + +**Character and Persona Architecture:** + +- **Character Consistency**: Every agent needs a persistent human persona with name, background, and communication style +- **Numbered Options Protocol**: ALL agent interactions must use numbered lists for user selections +- **Professional Authenticity**: Characters should reflect realistic expertise and communication patterns for their domain + +**Technical Architecture Requirements:** + +- **YAML-in-Markdown Structure**: All agents must use embedded activation instructions and configuration +- **LLM Template Intelligence**: Templates need instruction embedding with conditionals and variables +- **Quality Integration**: Multi-level validation systems with star ratings and ready/not-ready frameworks + +**Workflow and Orchestration:** + +- **Decision Trees**: Workflows must include branching logic and conditional paths +- **Handoff Protocols**: Explicit procedures for agent-to-agent transitions +- **Knowledge Base Embedding**: Domain expertise must be built into the pack, not just referenced + +**Quality and Validation:** + +- **Plan First**: ALWAYS create and get approval for plan.md before implementing +- **Orchestrator Required**: Every pack MUST have a custom BMAD orchestrator with sophisticated command system +- **Verify References**: ALL referenced tasks/templates MUST exist and be tested +- **Multi-Level Validation**: Quality systems must provide basic, comprehensive, and expert-level assessment +- **Domain Expertise**: Ensure accuracy in specialized fields with embedded best practices +- **Compliance Integration**: Include necessary regulatory requirements as embedded knowledge + +## Advanced Success Strategies + +**Character Development Excellence:** + +1. **Create Believable Personas**: Each agent should feel like a real professional with authentic expertise +2. **Maintain Communication Consistency**: Character voices should remain consistent across all interactions +3. **Design Professional Relationships**: Show how characters work together and hand off responsibilities + +**Technical Implementation Excellence:** + +1. **Plan Thoroughly**: The plan.md prevents missing components and ensures character consistency +2. **Build Orchestrator First**: It defines the overall workflow and establishes the primary character voice +3. **Implement Template Intelligence**: Use LLM instruction embedding for sophisticated document generation +4. **Create Quality Integration**: Every task should connect to validation checklists and quality systems + +**Workflow and Quality Excellence:** + +1. **Design Decision Trees**: Map out all workflow branching points and conditional paths +2. **Test Handoff Protocols**: Ensure smooth transitions between agents with clear success criteria +3. **Embed Domain Knowledge**: Include best practices, terminology, and standards as built-in knowledge +4. **Validate Continuously**: Check off items in plan.md and test all references throughout development +5. **Document Comprehensively**: Users need clear instructions for data files, character introductions, and quality expectations + +## Advanced Mistakes to Avoid + +**Character and Persona Mistakes:** + +1. **Generic Orchestrator**: Creating a bland orchestrator instead of domain-themed character (e.g., "Orchestrator" vs "Office Manager") +2. **Generic Characters**: Creating agents without distinct personalities, names, or communication styles +3. **Inconsistent Voices**: Characters that sound the same or change personality mid-conversation +4. **Missing Professional Context**: Agents without believable expertise or domain authority +5. **No Numbered Options**: Failing to implement the numbered selection protocol + +**Technical Architecture Mistakes:** + +1. **Missing Core Utilities**: Not including create-doc.md, execute-checklist.md, template-format.md, workflow-management.md +2. **Simple Agent Structure**: Using basic YAML instead of YAML-in-Markdown with embedded instructions +3. **Basic Templates**: Creating simple templates without LLM instruction embedding or conditional content +4. **Missing Quality Integration**: Templates and tasks that don't connect to validation systems +5. **Weak Command Systems**: Orchestrators without sophisticated command interfaces and help systems +6. **Missing Team/Workflow**: Not creating team and workflow files when pack has multiple agents + +**Workflow and Content Mistakes:** + +1. **Linear Workflows**: Creating workflows without decision trees or branching logic +2. **Missing Handoff Protocols**: Agents that don't properly transition work to each other +3. **External Dependencies**: Requiring users to provide knowledge that should be embedded in the pack +4. **Orphaned References**: Agent references task that doesn't exist +5. **Unclear Data Needs**: Not specifying required user data files with validation criteria +6. **Skipping Plan**: Going straight to implementation without comprehensive planning +7. **Generic Orchestrator**: Not making the orchestrator domain-specific with appropriate character and commands + +## Advanced
