The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments. - -### Key Features - -- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role -- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization -- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs -- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists -- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control - -### When to Use BMAD - -- **New Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end development -- **Existing Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions and enhancements -- **Team Collaboration**: Multiple roles working together -- **Quality Assurance**: Structured testing and validation -- **Documentation**: Professional PRDs, architecture docs, user stories - -## How BMAD Works - -### The Core Method - -BMAD transforms you into a "Vibe CEO" - directing a team of specialized AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how: - -1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide vision and decisions; agents handle implementation details -2. **Specialized Agents**: Each agent masters one role (PM, Developer, Architect, etc.) -3. **Structured Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from idea to deployed code -4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective - -### The Two-Phase Approach - -**Phase 1: Planning (Web UI - Cost Effective)** -- Use large context windows (Gemini's 1M tokens) -- Generate comprehensive documents (PRD, Architecture) -- Leverage multiple agents for brainstorming -- Create once, use throughout development - -**Phase 2: Development (IDE - Implementation)** -- Shard documents into manageable pieces -- Execute focused SM ā†’ Dev cycles -- One story at a time, sequential progress -- Real-time file operations and testing - -### The Development Loop - -```text -1. SM Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Creates next story from sharded docs -2. You ā†’ Review and approve story -3. Dev Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Implements approved story -4. QA Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Reviews and refactors code -5. You ā†’ Verify completion -6. Repeat until epic complete -``` - -### Why This Works - -- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance -- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality -- **Incremental Progress**: Small stories = manageable complexity -- **Human Oversight**: You validate each step = quality control -- **Document-Driven**: Specs guide everything = consistency - -## Getting Started - -### Quick Start Options - -#### Option 1: Web UI -**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately - -1. Navigate to `dist/teams/` -2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content -3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT -4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed" -5. Type `/help` to see available commands - -#### Option 2: IDE Integration -**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, VS Code Copilot users - -```bash -# Interactive installation (recommended) -npx bmad-method install -``` - -**Installation Steps**: -- Choose "Complete installation" -- Select your IDE from supported options: - - **Cursor**: Native AI integration - - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE - - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities - - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features - - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support - - **VS Code Copilot**: AI-powered coding assistant - -**Note for VS Code Users**: BMAD-METHOD assumes when you mention "VS Code" that you're using it with an AI-powered extension like GitHub Copilot, Cline, or Roo. Standard VS Code without AI capabilities cannot run BMAD agents. The installer includes built-in support for Cline and Roo. - -**Verify Installation**: -- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents -- IDE-specific integration files created -- All agent commands/rules/modes available - -**Remember**: At its core, BMAD-METHOD is about mastering and harnessing prompt engineering. Any IDE with AI agent support can use BMAD - the framework provides the structured prompts and workflows that make AI development effective - -### Environment Selection Guide - -**Use Web UI for**: -- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture) -- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini) -- Brainstorming and analysis phases -- Multi-agent consultation and planning - -**Use IDE for**: -- Active development and coding -- File operations and project integration -- Document sharding and story management -- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles) - -**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development. - -### IDE-Only Workflow Considerations - -**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs: - -**Pros of IDE-Only**: -- Single environment workflow -- Direct file operations from start -- No copy/paste between environments -- Immediate project integration - -**Cons of IDE-Only**: -- Higher token costs for large document creation -- Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model) -- May hit limits during planning phases -- Less cost-effective for brainstorming - -**Using Web Agents in IDE**: -- **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts -- **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context -- **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization - -**About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**: -- **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT... -- **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results -- **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs -- **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but... - -**CRITICAL RULE for Development**: -- **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator -- **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator -- **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow -- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM ā†’ Dev for implementation - -**Best Practice for IDE-Only**: -1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master) -2. Create documents directly in project -3. Shard immediately after creation -4. **MUST switch to SM agent** for story creation -5. **MUST switch to Dev agent** for implementation -6. Keep planning and coding in separate chat sessions - -## Core Configuration (core-config.yaml) - -**New in V4**: The `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility. - -### What is core-config.yaml? - -This configuration file acts as a map for BMAD agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables: - -- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures -- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live -- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load -- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting - -### Key Configuration Areas - -#### PRD Configuration -- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions -- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true) -- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files -- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`) - -#### Architecture Configuration -- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded) -- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components -- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live - -#### Developer Files -- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task -- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures -- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations - -### Why It Matters - -1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure -2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace -3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMAD to match your team's process -4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration - -### Common Configurations - -**Legacy V3 Project**: -```yaml -prdVersion: v3 -prdSharded: false -architectureVersion: v3 -architectureSharded: false -``` - -**V4 Optimized Project**: -```yaml -prdVersion: v4 -prdSharded: true -prdShardedLocation: docs/prd -architectureVersion: v4 -architectureSharded: true -architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture -``` - -## Core Philosophy - -### Vibe CEO'ing - -You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to: - -- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives -- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality -- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents - -### Core Principles - -1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate. -2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs. -3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment. -4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process. -5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs. -6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs. -7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand. -8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges. - -### Key Workflow Principles - -1. **Agent Specialization**: Each agent has specific expertise and responsibilities -2. **Clean Handoffs**: Always start fresh when switching between agents -3. **Status Tracking**: Maintain story statuses (Draft ā†’ Approved ā†’ InProgress ā†’ Done) -4. **Iterative Development**: Complete one story before starting the next -5. **Documentation First**: Always start with solid PRD and architecture - -## Agent System - -### Core Development Team - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ----------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | -| `analyst` | Business Analyst | Market research, requirements gathering | Project planning, competitive analysis | -| `pm` | Product Manager | PRD creation, feature prioritization | Strategic planning, roadmaps | -| `architect` | Solution Architect | System design, technical architecture | Complex systems, scalability planning | -| `dev` | Developer | Code implementation, debugging | All development tasks | -| `qa` | QA Specialist | Test planning, quality assurance | Testing strategies, bug validation | -| `ux-expert` | UX Designer | UI/UX design, prototypes | User experience, interface design | -| `po` | Product Owner | Backlog management, story validation | Story refinement, acceptance criteria | -| `sm` | Scrum Master | Sprint planning, story creation | Project management, workflow | - -### Meta Agents - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | -| `bmad-orchestrator` | Team Coordinator | Multi-agent workflows, role switching | Complex multi-role tasks | -| `bmad-master` | Universal Expert | All capabilities without switching | Single-session comprehensive work | - -### Agent Interaction Commands - -#### IDE-Specific Syntax - -**Agent Loading by IDE**: -- **Claude Code**: `/agent-name` (e.g., `/bmad-master`) -- **Cursor**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) -- **Windsurf**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) -- **Roo Code**: Select mode from mode selector (e.g., `bmad-bmad-master`) -- **VS Code Copilot**: Open the Chat view (`āŒƒāŒ˜I` on Mac, `Ctrl+Alt+I` on Windows/Linux) and select **Agent** from the chat mode selector. - -**Chat Management Guidelines**: -- **Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf**: Start new chats when switching agents -- **Roo Code**: Switch modes within the same conversation - -**Common Task Commands**: -- `*help` - Show available commands -- `*status` - Show current context/progress -- `*exit` - Exit the agent mode -- `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd` - Shard PRD into manageable pieces -- `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture` - Shard architecture document -- `*create` - Run create-next-story task (SM agent) - -**In Web UI**: -```text -/pm create-doc prd -/architect review system design -/dev implement story 1.2 -/help - Show available commands -/switch agent-name - Change active agent (if orchestrator available) -``` - -## Team Configurations - -### Pre-Built Teams - -#### Team All -- **Includes**: All 10 agents + orchestrator -- **Use Case**: Complete projects requiring all roles -- **Bundle**: `team-all.txt` - -#### Team Fullstack -- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA, UX Expert -- **Use Case**: End-to-end web/mobile development -- **Bundle**: `team-fullstack.txt` - -#### Team No-UI -- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA (no UX Expert) -- **Use Case**: Backend services, APIs, system development -- **Bundle**: `team-no-ui.txt` - -## Core Architecture - -### System Overview - -The BMAD-Method is built around a modular architecture centered on the `bmad-core` directory, which serves as the brain of the entire system. This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). - -### Key Architectural Components - -#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) -- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) -- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies -- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use -- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context - -#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) -- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes -- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) -- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments - -#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) -- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types -- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development -- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions - -#### 4. Reusable Resources -- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories -- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" -- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review -- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences - -### Dual Environment Architecture - -#### IDE Environment - -- Users interact directly with agent markdown files -- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically -- Supports real-time file operations and project integration -- Optimized for development workflow execution - -#### Web UI Environment - -- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assest with an orchestrating agent -- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team -- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces -- Provides complete context in one package - -### Template Processing System - -BMAD employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: - -1. **Template Format** (`utils/template-format.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives -2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction -3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming - -**Template Features**: - -- **Self-contained**: Templates embed both output structure and processing instructions -- **Variable Substitution**: `{{placeholders}}` for dynamic content -- **AI Processing Directives**: `[[LLM: instructions]]` for AI-only processing -- **Interactive Refinement**: Built-in elicitation processes for quality improvement - -### Technical Preferences Integration - -The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: -- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects -- Eliminates repetitive technology specification -- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences -- Evolves over time with lessons learned - -### Build and Delivery Process - -The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: -1. Reading agent or team definition files -2. Recursively resolving all dependencies -3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators -4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces - -This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMAD powerful. - -## Complete Development Workflow - -### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** - -**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: -1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis - -**For All Projects**: -1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis -2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) -3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements -4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation -5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` - -#### Example Planning Prompts - -**For PRD Creation**: -```text -"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. -Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." -``` - -**For Architecture Design**: -```text -"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture -that can handle [specific requirements]." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE - -**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** - -- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project - -### IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): - - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Two methods to shard: - a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat - b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents - - Shards `docs/prd.md` ā†’ `docs/prd/` folder - - Shards `docs/architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Content**: - - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order - - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation - -**Resulting Folder Structure**: -- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections -- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections -- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories - -3. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `@sm` ā†’ `*create` - - SM executes create-next-story task - - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@dev` - - Agent asks which story to implement - - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time - - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Dev maintains File List of all changes - - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing - - **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@qa` ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM ā†’ Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. - -### Status Tracking Workflow - -Stories progress through defined statuses: -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Development -- Business analysis and market research -- Product requirements and feature definition -- System architecture and design -- Development execution -- Testing and deployment - -#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. - -**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: - -**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` -3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` - - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided - - Choose "single document" format for Web UI - - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas - - Creates one comprehensive markdown file - - Avoids bloating docs with unused code - -**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** -2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` - - More thorough but can create excessive documentation - -2. **Requirements Gathering**: - - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` - - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points - - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment - - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes - -3. **Architecture Planning**: - - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` - - **Integration Strategy**: How new features integrate with existing system - - **Migration Planning**: Gradual rollout and backwards compatibility - - **Risk Mitigation**: Addressing potential breaking changes - -**Brownfield-Specific Resources**: - -**Templates**: -- `brownfield-prd-tmpl.md`: Comprehensive enhancement planning with existing system analysis -- `brownfield-architecture-tmpl.md`: Integration-focused architecture for existing systems - -**Tasks**: -- `document-project`: Generates comprehensive documentation from existing codebase -- `brownfield-create-epic`: Creates single epic for focused enhancements (when full PRD is overkill) -- `brownfield-create-story`: Creates individual story for small, isolated changes - -**When to Use Each Approach**: - -**Full Brownfield Workflow** (Recommended for): -- Major feature additions -- System modernization -- Complex integrations -- Multiple related changes - -**Quick Epic/Story Creation** (Use when): -- Single, focused enhancement -- Isolated bug fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing system - -**Critical Success Factors**: -1. **Documentation First**: Always run `document-project` if docs are outdated/missing -2. **Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant code sections -3. **Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -**For detailed guide**: See `docs/working-in-the-brownfield.md` - -## Document Creation Best Practices - -### Required File Naming for Framework Integration - -- `docs/prd.md` - Product Requirements Document -- `docs/architecture.md` - System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter**: -- Agents automatically reference these files during development -- Sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Documents (PRD, Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` -4. **Switch to IDE**: Use IDE agents for development and smaller documents - -### Document Sharding - -Templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original PRD**: -```markdown -## Goals and Background Context -## Requirements -## User Interface Design Goals -## Success Metrics -``` - -**After Sharding**: -- `docs/prd/goals-and-background-context.md` -- `docs/prd/requirements.md` -- `docs/prd/user-interface-design-goals.md` -- `docs/prd/success-metrics.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic sharding. - -## Usage Patterns and Best Practices - -### Environment-Specific Usage - -**Web UI Best For**: -- Initial planning and documentation phases -- Cost-effective large document creation -- Agent consultation and brainstorming -- Multi-agent workflows with orchestrator - -**IDE Best For**: -- Active development and implementation -- File operations and project integration -- Story management and development cycles -- Code review and debugging - -### Quality Assurance - -- Use appropriate agents for specialized tasks -- Follow Agile ceremonies and review processes -- Maintain document consistency with PO agent -- Regular validation with checklists and templates - -### Performance Optimization - -- Use specific agents vs. `bmad-master` for focused tasks -- Choose appropriate team size for project needs -- Leverage technical preferences for consistency -- Regular context management and cache clearing - -## Success Tips - -- **Use Gemini for big picture planning** - The team-fullstack bundle provides collaborative expertise -- **Use bmad-master for document organization** - Sharding creates manageable chunks -- **Follow the SM ā†’ Dev cycle religiously** - This ensures systematic progress -- **Keep conversations focused** - One agent, one task per conversation -- **Review everything** - Always review and approve before marking complete - -## Contributing to BMAD-METHOD -

Initial Project Analysis - -[[LLM: First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. - -**IF PRD EXISTS**: - -- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned -- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected -- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas -- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean - -**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: -Ask the user: - -"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: - -1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. - -2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? - -3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: - - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' - - 'Refactoring the authentication module' - - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' - -4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) - -Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." - -Based on their response: - -- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation -- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below - -Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: - -1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization -2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies -3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands -4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation -5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches - -Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: - -- What is the primary purpose of this project? -- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? -- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) -- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? -- What level of technical detail should the documentation target?

Challenge from Critical Perspective (Self or Other Persona) - [[LLM: Adopt a critical perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another role or persona (e.g., 'as a customer', 'as [Another Persona Name]'), critique the content or play devil's advocate from that specified viewpoint. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your own current persona's viewpoint, arguing against the proposal or current content and highlighting weaknesses or counterarguments specific to your concerns. This can also randomly include YAGNI when appropriate, such as when trimming the scope of an MVP, the perspective might challenge the need for something to cut MVP scope.]] - -7. Explore Diverse Alternatives (ToT-Inspired) - [[LLM: From your role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches or solutions to the current topic. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2 distinct alternatives, detailing the pros, cons, and potential implications you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight is 20/20: The 'If Only...' Reflection - [[LLM: In your current persona, imagine it's a retrospective for a project based on the current content. What's the one 'if only we had known/done X...' that your role would humorously or dramatically highlight, along with the imagined consequences?]] - -9.

Initial Setup & Mode Selection - -- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** - - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. - - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. - - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `change-checklist` (e.g., `change-checklist`). -- **Establish Interaction Mode:** - - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: - - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the `change-checklist` section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." - - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." - - Request the user to select their preferred mode. - - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode (e.g., "Okay, we will proceed in Incremental mode."). This chosen mode will govern how subsequent steps in this task are executed. -- **Explain Process:** Briefly inform the user: "We will now use the `change-checklist` to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." - When asking multiple questions or presenting multiple points for user input at once, number them clearly (e.g., 1., 2a., 2b.) to make it easier for the user to provide specific responses. - -### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) - -- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the `change-checklist` (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). -- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): - - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. - - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. - - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. - - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. - - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. - -### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) - -- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): - - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). - - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: - - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. - - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. - - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). - - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. - - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). - - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. - - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. - -### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits - -- Synthesize the complete `change-checklist` analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the `change-checklist` (Proposal Components). -- The proposal must clearly present: - - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. - - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). -- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. - -### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps - -- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. -- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. -- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** - - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. - - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. - -## Output Deliverables - -- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format).

To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: - -1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. - -2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? - -3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: - - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' - - 'Refactoring the authentication module' - - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' - -4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase?

(e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) -- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? -- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) -- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) - ]] - -### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis - -[[LLM: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: - -1. **Explore Key Areas**: - - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) - - Configuration files and environment setup - - Package dependencies and versions - - Build and deployment configurations - - Test suites and coverage - -2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: - - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" - - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" - - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" - - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" - - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" - -3. **Map the Reality**: - - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) - - Find where key business logic lives - - Locate integration points and external dependencies - - Document workarounds and technical debt - - Note areas that differ from standard patterns - -**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement]] - -### 3.

Core Prompting Principles - -Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code. - -- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. -- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. -- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. -- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. - -### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework - -To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. - -1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. - - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ -2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. - - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ -3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. - - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ -4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. - - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ - -### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt - -You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. - -1. **Gather Foundational Context**: - - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. -2. **Describe the Visuals**: - - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. - - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). -3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: - - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. -4. **Present and Refine**: - - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). - - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. - - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. -==================== END: tasks#generate-ai-frontend-prompt ==================== - -==================== START: tasks#index-docs ==================== -# Index Documentation Task - -## Purpose - -This task maintains the integrity and completeness of the `docs/index.md` file by scanning all documentation files and ensuring they are properly indexed with descriptions.

For example, an API completed can deliver value even if a UI is not complete and planned for a separate epic. -- Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things. -- Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories.

Mark `[x]` for completed/confirmed, `[N/A]` if not applicable, or add notes for discussion points. - -[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - CHANGE NAVIGATION - -Changes during development are inevitable, but how we handle them determines project success or failure. - -Before proceeding, understand: - -1. This checklist is for SIGNIFICANT changes that affect the project direction -2. Minor adjustments within a story don't require this process -3. The goal is to minimize wasted work while adapting to new realities -4. User buy-in is critical - they must understand and approve changes - -Required context: - -- The triggering story or issue -- Current project state (completed stories, current epic) -- Access to PRD, architecture, and other key documents -- Understanding of remaining work planned - -APPROACH: -This is an interactive process with the user. Work through each section together, discussing implications and options.

The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments. - -### Key Features - -- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role -- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization -- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs -- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists -- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control - -### When to Use BMAD - -- **New Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end development -- **Existing Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions and enhancements -- **Team Collaboration**: Multiple roles working together -- **Quality Assurance**: Structured testing and validation -- **Documentation**: Professional PRDs, architecture docs, user stories - -## How BMAD Works - -### The Core Method - -BMAD transforms you into a "Vibe CEO" - directing a team of specialized AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how: - -1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide vision and decisions; agents handle implementation details -2. **Specialized Agents**: Each agent masters one role (PM, Developer, Architect, etc.) -3. **Structured Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from idea to deployed code -4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective - -### The Two-Phase Approach - -**Phase 1: Planning (Web UI - Cost Effective)** -- Use large context windows (Gemini's 1M tokens) -- Generate comprehensive documents (PRD, Architecture) -- Leverage multiple agents for brainstorming -- Create once, use throughout development - -**Phase 2: Development (IDE - Implementation)** -- Shard documents into manageable pieces -- Execute focused SM ā†’ Dev cycles -- One story at a time, sequential progress -- Real-time file operations and testing - -### The Development Loop - -```text -1. SM Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Creates next story from sharded docs -2. You ā†’ Review and approve story -3. Dev Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Implements approved story -4. QA Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Reviews and refactors code -5. You ā†’ Verify completion -6. Repeat until epic complete -``` - -### Why This Works - -- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance -- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality -- **Incremental Progress**: Small stories = manageable complexity -- **Human Oversight**: You validate each step = quality control -- **Document-Driven**: Specs guide everything = consistency - -## Getting Started - -### Quick Start Options - -#### Option 1: Web UI -**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately - -1. Navigate to `dist/teams/` -2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content -3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT -4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed" -5. Type `/help` to see available commands - -#### Option 2: IDE Integration -**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, VS Code Copilot users - -```bash -# Interactive installation (recommended) -npx bmad-method install -``` - -**Installation Steps**: -- Choose "Complete installation" -- Select your IDE from supported options: - - **Cursor**: Native AI integration - - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE - - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities - - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features - - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support - - **VS Code Copilot**: AI-powered coding assistant - -**Note for VS Code Users**: BMAD-METHOD assumes when you mention "VS Code" that you're using it with an AI-powered extension like GitHub Copilot, Cline, or Roo. Standard VS Code without AI capabilities cannot run BMAD agents. The installer includes built-in support for Cline and Roo. - -**Verify Installation**: -- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents -- IDE-specific integration files created -- All agent commands/rules/modes available - -**Remember**: At its core, BMAD-METHOD is about mastering and harnessing prompt engineering. Any IDE with AI agent support can use BMAD - the framework provides the structured prompts and workflows that make AI development effective - -### Environment Selection Guide - -**Use Web UI for**: -- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture) -- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini) -- Brainstorming and analysis phases -- Multi-agent consultation and planning - -**Use IDE for**: -- Active development and coding -- File operations and project integration -- Document sharding and story management -- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles) - -**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development. - -### IDE-Only Workflow Considerations - -**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs: - -**Pros of IDE-Only**: -- Single environment workflow -- Direct file operations from start -- No copy/paste between environments -- Immediate project integration - -**Cons of IDE-Only**: -- Higher token costs for large document creation -- Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model) -- May hit limits during planning phases -- Less cost-effective for brainstorming - -**Using Web Agents in IDE**: -- **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts -- **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context -- **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization - -**About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**: -- **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT... -- **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results -- **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs -- **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but... - -**CRITICAL RULE for Development**: -- **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator -- **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator -- **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow -- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM ā†’ Dev for implementation - -**Best Practice for IDE-Only**: -1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master) -2. Create documents directly in project -3. Shard immediately after creation -4. **MUST switch to SM agent** for story creation -5. **MUST switch to Dev agent** for implementation -6. Keep planning and coding in separate chat sessions - -## Core Configuration (core-config.yaml) - -**New in V4**: The `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility. - -### What is core-config.yaml? - -This configuration file acts as a map for BMAD agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables: - -- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures -- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live -- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load -- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting - -### Key Configuration Areas - -#### PRD Configuration -- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions -- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true) -- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files -- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`) - -#### Architecture Configuration -- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded) -- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components -- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live - -#### Developer Files -- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task -- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures -- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations - -### Why It Matters - -1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure -2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace -3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMAD to match your team's process -4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration - -### Common Configurations - -**Legacy V3 Project**: -```yaml -prdVersion: v3 -prdSharded: false -architectureVersion: v3 -architectureSharded: false -``` - -**V4 Optimized Project**: -```yaml -prdVersion: v4 -prdSharded: true -prdShardedLocation: docs/prd -architectureVersion: v4 -architectureSharded: true -architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture -``` - -## Core Philosophy - -### Vibe CEO'ing - -You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to: - -- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives -- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality -- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents - -### Core Principles - -1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate. -2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs. -3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment. -4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process. -5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs. -6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs. -7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand. -8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges. - -### Key Workflow Principles - -1. **Agent Specialization**: Each agent has specific expertise and responsibilities -2. **Clean Handoffs**: Always start fresh when switching between agents -3. **Status Tracking**: Maintain story statuses (Draft ā†’ Approved ā†’ InProgress ā†’ Done) -4. **Iterative Development**: Complete one story before starting the next -5. **Documentation First**: Always start with solid PRD and architecture - -## Agent System - -### Core Development Team - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ----------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | -| `analyst` | Business Analyst | Market research, requirements gathering | Project planning, competitive analysis | -| `pm` | Product Manager | PRD creation, feature prioritization | Strategic planning, roadmaps | -| `architect` | Solution Architect | System design, technical architecture | Complex systems, scalability planning | -| `dev` | Developer | Code implementation, debugging | All development tasks | -| `qa` | QA Specialist | Test planning, quality assurance | Testing strategies, bug validation | -| `ux-expert` | UX Designer | UI/UX design, prototypes | User experience, interface design | -| `po` | Product Owner | Backlog management, story validation | Story refinement, acceptance criteria | -| `sm` | Scrum Master | Sprint planning, story creation | Project management, workflow | - -### Meta Agents - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | -| `bmad-orchestrator` | Team Coordinator | Multi-agent workflows, role switching | Complex multi-role tasks | -| `bmad-master` | Universal Expert | All capabilities without switching | Single-session comprehensive work | - -### Agent Interaction Commands - -#### IDE-Specific Syntax - -**Agent Loading by IDE**: -- **Claude Code**: `/agent-name` (e.g., `/bmad-master`) -- **Cursor**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) -- **Windsurf**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) -- **Roo Code**: Select mode from mode selector (e.g., `bmad-bmad-master`) -- **VS Code Copilot**: Open the Chat view (`āŒƒāŒ˜I` on Mac, `Ctrl+Alt+I` on Windows/Linux) and select **Agent** from the chat mode selector. - -**Chat Management Guidelines**: -- **Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf**: Start new chats when switching agents -- **Roo Code**: Switch modes within the same conversation - -**Common Task Commands**: -- `*help` - Show available commands -- `*status` - Show current context/progress -- `*exit` - Exit the agent mode -- `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd` - Shard PRD into manageable pieces -- `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture` - Shard architecture document -- `*create` - Run create-next-story task (SM agent) - -**In Web UI**: -```text -/pm create-doc prd -/architect review system design -/dev implement story 1.2 -/help - Show available commands -/switch agent-name - Change active agent (if orchestrator available) -``` - -## Team Configurations - -### Pre-Built Teams - -#### Team All -- **Includes**: All 10 agents + orchestrator -- **Use Case**: Complete projects requiring all roles -- **Bundle**: `team-all.txt` - -#### Team Fullstack -- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA, UX Expert -- **Use Case**: End-to-end web/mobile development -- **Bundle**: `team-fullstack.txt` - -#### Team No-UI -- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA (no UX Expert) -- **Use Case**: Backend services, APIs, system development -- **Bundle**: `team-no-ui.txt` - -## Core Architecture - -### System Overview - -The BMAD-Method is built around a modular architecture centered on the `bmad-core` directory, which serves as the brain of the entire system. This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). - -### Key Architectural Components - -#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) -- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) -- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies -- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use -- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context - -#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) -- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes -- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) -- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments - -#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) -- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types -- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development -- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions - -#### 4. Reusable Resources -- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories -- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" -- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review -- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences - -### Dual Environment Architecture - -#### IDE Environment - -- Users interact directly with agent markdown files -- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically -- Supports real-time file operations and project integration -- Optimized for development workflow execution - -#### Web UI Environment - -- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assest with an orchestrating agent -- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team -- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces -- Provides complete context in one package - -### Template Processing System - -BMAD employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: - -1. **Template Format** (`utils/template-format.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives -2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction -3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming - -**Template Features**: - -- **Self-contained**: Templates embed both output structure and processing instructions -- **Variable Substitution**: `{{placeholders}}` for dynamic content -- **AI Processing Directives**: `[[LLM: instructions]]` for AI-only processing -- **Interactive Refinement**: Built-in elicitation processes for quality improvement - -### Technical Preferences Integration - -The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: -- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects -- Eliminates repetitive technology specification -- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences -- Evolves over time with lessons learned - -### Build and Delivery Process - -The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: -1. Reading agent or team definition files -2. Recursively resolving all dependencies -3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators -4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces - -This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMAD powerful. - -## Complete Development Workflow - -### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** - -**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: -1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis - -**For All Projects**: -1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis -2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) -3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements -4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation -5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` - -#### Example Planning Prompts - -**For PRD Creation**: -```text -"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. -Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." -``` - -**For Architecture Design**: -```text -"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture -that can handle [specific requirements]." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE - -**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** - -- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project - -### IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): - - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Two methods to shard: - a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat - b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents - - Shards `docs/prd.md` ā†’ `docs/prd/` folder - - Shards `docs/architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Content**: - - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order - - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation - -**Resulting Folder Structure**: -- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections -- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections -- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories - -3. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `@sm` ā†’ `*create` - - SM executes create-next-story task - - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@dev` - - Agent asks which story to implement - - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time - - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Dev maintains File List of all changes - - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing - - **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@qa` ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM ā†’ Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. - -### Status Tracking Workflow - -Stories progress through defined statuses: -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Development -- Business analysis and market research -- Product requirements and feature definition -- System architecture and design -- Development execution -- Testing and deployment - -#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. - -**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: - -**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` -3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` - - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided - - Choose "single document" format for Web UI - - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas - - Creates one comprehensive markdown file - - Avoids bloating docs with unused code - -**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** -2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` - - More thorough but can create excessive documentation - -2. **Requirements Gathering**: - - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` - - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points - - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment - - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes - -3. **Architecture Planning**: - - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` - - **Integration Strategy**: How new features integrate with existing system - - **Migration Planning**: Gradual rollout and backwards compatibility - - **Risk Mitigation**: Addressing potential breaking changes - -**Brownfield-Specific Resources**: - -**Templates**: -- `brownfield-prd-tmpl.md`: Comprehensive enhancement planning with existing system analysis -- `brownfield-architecture-tmpl.md`: Integration-focused architecture for existing systems - -**Tasks**: -- `document-project`: Generates comprehensive documentation from existing codebase -- `brownfield-create-epic`: Creates single epic for focused enhancements (when full PRD is overkill) -- `brownfield-create-story`: Creates individual story for small, isolated changes - -**When to Use Each Approach**: - -**Full Brownfield Workflow** (Recommended for): -- Major feature additions -- System modernization -- Complex integrations -- Multiple related changes - -**Quick Epic/Story Creation** (Use when): -- Single, focused enhancement -- Isolated bug fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing system - -**Critical Success Factors**: -1. **Documentation First**: Always run `document-project` if docs are outdated/missing -2. **Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant code sections -3. **Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -**For detailed guide**: See `docs/working-in-the-brownfield.md` - -## Document Creation Best Practices - -### Required File Naming for Framework Integration - -- `docs/prd.md` - Product Requirements Document -- `docs/architecture.md` - System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter**: -- Agents automatically reference these files during development -- Sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Documents (PRD, Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` -4. **Switch to IDE**: Use IDE agents for development and smaller documents - -### Document Sharding - -Templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original PRD**: -```markdown -## Goals and Background Context -## Requirements -## User Interface Design Goals -## Success Metrics -``` - -**After Sharding**: -- `docs/prd/goals-and-background-context.md` -- `docs/prd/requirements.md` -- `docs/prd/user-interface-design-goals.md` -- `docs/prd/success-metrics.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic sharding. - -## Usage Patterns and Best Practices - -### Environment-Specific Usage - -**Web UI Best For**: -- Initial planning and documentation phases -- Cost-effective large document creation -- Agent consultation and brainstorming -- Multi-agent workflows with orchestrator - -**IDE Best For**: -- Active development and implementation -- File operations and project integration -- Story management and development cycles -- Code review and debugging - -### Quality Assurance - -- Use appropriate agents for specialized tasks -- Follow Agile ceremonies and review processes -- Maintain document consistency with PO agent -- Regular validation with checklists and templates - -### Performance Optimization - -- Use specific agents vs. `bmad-master` for focused tasks -- Choose appropriate team size for project needs -- Leverage technical preferences for consistency -- Regular context management and cache clearing - -## Success Tips - -- **Use Gemini for big picture planning** - The team-fullstack bundle provides collaborative expertise -- **Use bmad-master for document organization** - Sharding creates manageable chunks -- **Follow the SM ā†’ Dev cycle religiously** - This ensures systematic progress -- **Keep conversations focused** - One agent, one task per conversation -- **Review everything** - Always review and approve before marking complete - -## Contributing to BMAD-METHOD -

Ask Interaction Mode - -> 1. **Incremental** - Section by section with reviews -> 2. **YOLO Mode** - Complete draft then review (user can type `/yolo` anytime to switch) - -### 3. Execute Template - -- Replace {{placeholders}} with real content -- Execute [[LLM:]] instructions as you encounter them -- Process <> loops and ^^CONDITIONS^^ -- Use @{examples} for guidance but never output them - -### 4. Key Execution Patterns - -**When you see:** `[[LLM: Draft X and immediately execute tasks#advanced-elicitation]]` - -- Draft the content -- Present it to user -- IMMEDIATELY execute the task -- Wait for completion before continuing - -**When you see:** `[[LLM: After section completion, apply tasks#Y]]` - -- Finish the section -- STOP and execute the task -- Wait for user input - -### 5. Validation & Final Presentation - -- Run any specified checklists -- Present clean, formatted content only -- No truncation or summarization -- Begin directly with content (no preamble) -- Include any handoff prompts from template - -### 6. Update Workflow Plan (if applicable) - -[[LLM: After successful document creation]] - -- If plan tracking is enabled and document was part of plan: - - Call update-workflow-plan task to mark step complete - - Parameters: task: create-doc, step_id: {from plan}, status: complete - - Show next recommended step from plan - -## Common Mistakes to Avoid - -āŒ Skipping elicitation tasks -āŒ Showing template markup to users -āŒ Continuing past STOP signals -āŒ Combining multiple review points - -āœ… Execute ALL instructions in sequence -āœ… Present only clean, formatted content -āœ… Stop at every elicitation point -āœ… Wait for user confirmation when instructed - -## Remember - -Templates contain precise instructions for a reason.

The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments. - -### Key Features - -- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role -- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization -- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs -- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists -- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control - -### When to Use BMAD - -- **New Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end development -- **Existing Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions and enhancements -- **Team Collaboration**: Multiple roles working together -- **Quality Assurance**: Structured testing and validation -- **Documentation**: Professional PRDs, architecture docs, user stories - -## How BMAD Works - -### The Core Method - -BMAD transforms you into a "Vibe CEO" - directing a team of specialized AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how: - -1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide vision and decisions; agents handle implementation details -2. **Specialized Agents**: Each agent masters one role (PM, Developer, Architect, etc.) -3. **Structured Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from idea to deployed code -4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective - -### The Two-Phase Approach - -**Phase 1: Planning (Web UI - Cost Effective)** -- Use large context windows (Gemini's 1M tokens) -- Generate comprehensive documents (PRD, Architecture) -- Leverage multiple agents for brainstorming -- Create once, use throughout development - -**Phase 2: Development (IDE - Implementation)** -- Shard documents into manageable pieces -- Execute focused SM ā†’ Dev cycles -- One story at a time, sequential progress -- Real-time file operations and testing - -### The Development Loop - -```text -1. SM Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Creates next story from sharded docs -2. You ā†’ Review and approve story -3. Dev Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Implements approved story -4. QA Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Reviews and refactors code -5. You ā†’ Verify completion -6. Repeat until epic complete -``` - -### Why This Works - -- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance -- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality -- **Incremental Progress**: Small stories = manageable complexity -- **Human Oversight**: You validate each step = quality control -- **Document-Driven**: Specs guide everything = consistency - -## Getting Started - -### Quick Start Options - -#### Option 1: Web UI -**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately - -1. Navigate to `dist/teams/` -2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content -3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT -4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed" -5. Type `/help` to see available commands - -#### Option 2: IDE Integration -**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, VS Code Copilot users - -```bash -# Interactive installation (recommended) -npx bmad-method install -``` - -**Installation Steps**: -- Choose "Complete installation" -- Select your IDE from supported options: - - **Cursor**: Native AI integration - - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE - - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities - - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features - - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support - - **VS Code Copilot**: AI-powered coding assistant - -**Note for VS Code Users**: BMAD-METHOD assumes when you mention "VS Code" that you're using it with an AI-powered extension like GitHub Copilot, Cline, or Roo. Standard VS Code without AI capabilities cannot run BMAD agents. The installer includes built-in support for Cline and Roo. - -**Verify Installation**: -- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents -- IDE-specific integration files created -- All agent commands/rules/modes available - -**Remember**: At its core, BMAD-METHOD is about mastering and harnessing prompt engineering. Any IDE with AI agent support can use BMAD - the framework provides the structured prompts and workflows that make AI development effective - -### Environment Selection Guide - -**Use Web UI for**: -- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture) -- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini) -- Brainstorming and analysis phases -- Multi-agent consultation and planning - -**Use IDE for**: -- Active development and coding -- File operations and project integration -- Document sharding and story management -- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles) - -**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development. - -### IDE-Only Workflow Considerations - -**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs: - -**Pros of IDE-Only**: -- Single environment workflow -- Direct file operations from start -- No copy/paste between environments -- Immediate project integration - -**Cons of IDE-Only**: -- Higher token costs for large document creation -- Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model) -- May hit limits during planning phases -- Less cost-effective for brainstorming - -**Using Web Agents in IDE**: -- **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts -- **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context -- **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization - -**About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**: -- **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT... -- **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results -- **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs -- **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but... - -**CRITICAL RULE for Development**: -- **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator -- **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator -- **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow -- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM ā†’ Dev for implementation - -**Best Practice for IDE-Only**: -1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master) -2. Create documents directly in project -3. Shard immediately after creation -4. **MUST switch to SM agent** for story creation -5. **MUST switch to Dev agent** for implementation -6. Keep planning and coding in separate chat sessions - -## Core Configuration (core-config.yaml) - -**New in V4**: The `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility. - -### What is core-config.yaml? - -This configuration file acts as a map for BMAD agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables: - -- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures -- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live -- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load -- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting - -### Key Configuration Areas - -#### PRD Configuration -- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions -- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true) -- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files -- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`) - -#### Architecture Configuration -- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded) -- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components -- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live - -#### Developer Files -- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task -- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures -- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations - -### Why It Matters - -1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure -2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace -3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMAD to match your team's process -4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration - -### Common Configurations - -**Legacy V3 Project**: -```yaml -prdVersion: v3 -prdSharded: false -architectureVersion: v3 -architectureSharded: false -``` - -**V4 Optimized Project**: -```yaml -prdVersion: v4 -prdSharded: true -prdShardedLocation: docs/prd -architectureVersion: v4 -architectureSharded: true -architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture -``` - -## Core Philosophy - -### Vibe CEO'ing - -You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to: - -- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives -- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality -- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents - -### Core Principles - -1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more.

This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). - -### Key Architectural Components - -#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) -- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) -- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies -- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use -- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context - -#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) -- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes -- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) -- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments - -#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) -- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types -- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development -- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions - -#### 4. Reusable Resources -- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories -- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" -- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review -- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences - -### Dual Environment Architecture - -#### IDE Environment - -- Users interact directly with agent markdown files -- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically -- Supports real-time file operations and project integration -- Optimized for development workflow execution - -#### Web UI Environment - -- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assest with an orchestrating agent -- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team -- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces -- Provides complete context in one package - -### Template Processing System - -BMAD employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: - -1. **Template Format** (`utils/template-format.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives -2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction -3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming - -**Template Features**: - -- **Self-contained**: Templates embed both output structure and processing instructions -- **Variable Substitution**: `{{placeholders}}` for dynamic content -- **AI Processing Directives**: `[[LLM: instructions]]` for AI-only processing -- **Interactive Refinement**: Built-in elicitation processes for quality improvement - -### Technical Preferences Integration - -The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: -- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects -- Eliminates repetitive technology specification -- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences -- Evolves over time with lessons learned - -### Build and Delivery Process - -The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: -1. Reading agent or team definition files -2. Recursively resolving all dependencies -3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators -4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces - -This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMAD powerful. - -## Complete Development Workflow - -### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** - -**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: -1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis - -**For All Projects**: -1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis -2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) -3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements -4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation -5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` - -#### Example Planning Prompts - -**For PRD Creation**: -```text -"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. -Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." -``` - -**For Architecture Design**: -```text -"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture -that can handle [specific requirements]." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE - -**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** - -- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project - -### IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): - - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Two methods to shard: - a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat - b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents - - Shards `docs/prd.md` ā†’ `docs/prd/` folder - - Shards `docs/architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Content**: - - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order - - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation - -**Resulting Folder Structure**: -- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections -- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections -- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories - -3. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `@sm` ā†’ `*create` - - SM executes create-next-story task - - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@dev` - - Agent asks which story to implement - - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time - - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Dev maintains File List of all changes - - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing - - **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@qa` ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM ā†’ Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. - -### Status Tracking Workflow - -Stories progress through defined statuses: -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Development -- Business analysis and market research -- Product requirements and feature definition -- System architecture and design -- Development execution -- Testing and deployment - -#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. - -**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: - -**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` -3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` - - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided - - Choose "single document" format for Web UI - - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas - - Creates one comprehensive markdown file - - Avoids bloating docs with unused code - -**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** -2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` - - More thorough but can create excessive documentation - -2. **Requirements Gathering**: - - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` - - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points - - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment - - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes - -3. **Architecture Planning**: - - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` - - **Integration Strategy**: How new features integrate with existing system - - **Migration Planning**: Gradual rollout and backwards compatibility - - **Risk Mitigation**: Addressing potential breaking changes - -**Brownfield-Specific Resources**: - -**Templates**: -- `brownfield-prd-tmpl.md`: Comprehensive enhancement planning with existing system analysis -- `brownfield-architecture-tmpl.md`: Integration-focused architecture for existing systems - -**Tasks**: -- `document-project`: Generates comprehensive documentation from existing codebase -- `brownfield-create-epic`: Creates single epic for focused enhancements (when full PRD is overkill) -- `brownfield-create-story`: Creates individual story for small, isolated changes - -**When to Use Each Approach**: - -**Full Brownfield Workflow** (Recommended for): -- Major feature additions -- System modernization -- Complex integrations -- Multiple related changes - -**Quick Epic/Story Creation** (Use when): -- Single, focused enhancement -- Isolated bug fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing system - -**Critical Success Factors**: -1. **Documentation First**: Always run `document-project` if docs are outdated/missing -2. **Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant code sections -3. **Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -**For detailed guide**: See `docs/working-in-the-brownfield.md` - -## Document Creation Best Practices - -### Required File Naming for Framework Integration - -- `docs/prd.md` - Product Requirements Document -- `docs/architecture.md` - System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter**: -- Agents automatically reference these files during development -- Sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Documents (PRD, Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` -4. **Switch to IDE**: Use IDE agents for development and smaller documents - -### Document Sharding - -Templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original PRD**: -```markdown -## Goals and Background Context -## Requirements -## User Interface Design Goals -## Success Metrics -``` - -**After Sharding**: -- `docs/prd/goals-and-background-context.md` -- `docs/prd/requirements.md` -- `docs/prd/user-interface-design-goals.md` -- `docs/prd/success-metrics.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic sharding. - -## Usage Patterns and Best Practices - -### Environment-Specific Usage - -**Web UI Best For**: -- Initial planning and documentation phases -- Cost-effective large document creation -- Agent consultation and brainstorming -- Multi-agent workflows with orchestrator - -**IDE Best For**: -- Active development and implementation -- File operations and project integration -- Story management and development cycles -- Code review and debugging - -### Quality Assurance - -- Use appropriate agents for specialized tasks -- Follow Agile ceremonies and review processes -- Maintain document consistency with PO agent -- Regular validation with checklists and templates - -### Performance Optimization - -- Use specific agents vs. `bmad-master` for focused tasks -- Choose appropriate team size for project needs -- Leverage technical preferences for consistency -- Regular context management and cache clearing - -## Success Tips - -- **Use Gemini for big picture planning** - The team-fullstack bundle provides collaborative expertise -- **Use bmad-master for document organization** - Sharding creates manageable chunks -- **Follow the SM ā†’ Dev cycle religiously** - This ensures systematic progress -- **Keep conversations focused** - One agent, one task per conversation -- **Review everything** - Always review and approve before marking complete - -## Contributing to BMAD-METHOD -

Initial Setup & Mode Selection - -- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** - - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. - - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. - - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `change-checklist` (e.g., `change-checklist`). -- **Establish Interaction Mode:** - - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: - - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the `change-checklist` section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." - - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." - - Request the user to select their preferred mode. - - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode (e.g., "Okay, we will proceed in Incremental mode."). This chosen mode will govern how subsequent steps in this task are executed. -- **Explain Process:** Briefly inform the user: "We will now use the `change-checklist` to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." - When asking multiple questions or presenting multiple points for user input at once, number them clearly (e.g., 1., 2a., 2b.) to make it easier for the user to provide specific responses. - -### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) - -- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the `change-checklist` (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). -- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): - - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. - - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. - - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. - - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. - - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. - -### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) - -- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): - - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). - - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: - - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. - - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. - - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). - - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. - - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). - - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. - - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. - -### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits - -- Synthesize the complete `change-checklist` analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the `change-checklist` (Proposal Components). -- The proposal must clearly present: - - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. - - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). -- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. - -### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps - -- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. -- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. -- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** - - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. - - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. - -## Output Deliverables - -- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: - - A summary of the `change-checklist` analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). - - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. -- **Implicit:** An annotated `change-checklist` (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. -==================== END: tasks#correct-course ==================== - -==================== START: tasks#create-deep-research-prompt ==================== -# Create Deep Research Prompt Task - -This task helps create comprehensive research prompts for various types of deep analysis.

Initial Setup & Mode Selection - -- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** - - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. - - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. - - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `change-checklist` (e.g., `change-checklist`). -- **Establish Interaction Mode:** - - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: - - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the `change-checklist` section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." - - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." - - Request the user to select their preferred mode. - - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode (e.g., "Okay, we will proceed in Incremental mode."). This chosen mode will govern how subsequent steps in this task are executed. -- **Explain Process:** Briefly inform the user: "We will now use the `change-checklist` to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." - When asking multiple questions or presenting multiple points for user input at once, number them clearly (e.g., 1., 2a., 2b.) to make it easier for the user to provide specific responses. - -### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) - -- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the `change-checklist` (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). -- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): - - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. - - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. - - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. - - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. - - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. - -### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) - -- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): - - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). - - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: - - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. - - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. - - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). - - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. - - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). - - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. - - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. - -### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits - -- Synthesize the complete `change-checklist` analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the `change-checklist` (Proposal Components). -- The proposal must clearly present: - - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. - - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). -- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. - -### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps - -- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. -- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. -- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** - - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. - - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. - -## Output Deliverables - -- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: - - A summary of the `change-checklist` analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). - - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. -- **Implicit:** An annotated `change-checklist` (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. -==================== END: tasks#correct-course ==================== - -==================== START: tasks#brownfield-create-epic ==================== -# Create Brownfield Epic Task - -## Purpose - -Create a single epic for smaller brownfield enhancements that don't require the full PRD and Architecture documentation process.

Core Prompting Principles - -Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code. - -- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. -- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. -- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. -- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. - -### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework - -To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. - -1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. - - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ -2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. - - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ -3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. - - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ -4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. - - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ - -### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt - -You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. - -1. **Gather Foundational Context**: - - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. -2. **Describe the Visuals**: - - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. - - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). -3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: - - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. -4. **Present and Refine**: - - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). - - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. - - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. -==================== END: tasks#generate-ai-frontend-prompt ==================== - -==================== START: tasks#create-deep-research-prompt ==================== -# Create Deep Research Prompt Task - -This task helps create comprehensive research prompts for various types of deep analysis.

Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] - -1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) - [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] - -2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective - [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] - -3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies - [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] - -5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks - [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective - [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] - -7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches - [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection - [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] - -9. Proceed / No Further Actions - [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current game design work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list.

-==================== START: data#development-guidelines ==================== -# Game Development Guidelines - -## Overview - -This document establishes coding standards, architectural patterns, and development practices for 2D game development using Phaser 3 and TypeScript. These guidelines ensure consistency, performance, and maintainability across all game development stories. - -## TypeScript Standards - -### Strict Mode Configuration - -**Required tsconfig.json settings:** - -```json -{ - "compilerOptions": { - "strict": true, - "noImplicitAny": true, - "strictNullChecks": true, - "strictFunctionTypes": true, - "noImplicitReturns": true, - "noUnusedLocals": true, - "noUnusedParameters": true, - "exactOptionalPropertyTypes": true - } -} -``` - -### Type Definitions - -**Game Object Interfaces:** - -```typescript -// Core game entity interface -interface GameEntity { - readonly id: string; - position: Phaser.Math.Vector2; - active: boolean; - destroy(): void; -} - -// Player controller interface -interface PlayerController { - readonly inputEnabled: boolean; - handleInput(input: InputState): void; - update(delta: number): void; -} - -// Game system interface -interface GameSystem { - readonly name: string; - initialize(): void; - update(delta: number): void; - shutdown(): void; -} -``` - -**Scene Data Interfaces:** - -```typescript -// Scene transition data -interface SceneData { - [key: string]: any; -} - -// Game state interface -interface GameState { - currentLevel: number; - score: number; - lives: number; - settings: GameSettings; -} - -interface GameSettings { - musicVolume: number; - sfxVolume: number; - difficulty: "easy" | "normal" | "hard"; - controls: ControlScheme; -} -``` - -### Naming Conventions - -**Classes and Interfaces:** - -- PascalCase for classes: `PlayerSprite`, `GameManager`, `AudioSystem` -- PascalCase with 'I' prefix for interfaces: `IGameEntity`, `IPlayerController` -- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `CollisionManager` not `CM` - -**Methods and Variables:** - -- camelCase for methods and variables: `updatePosition()`, `playerSpeed` -- Descriptive names: `calculateDamage()` not `calcDmg()` -- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `isActive`, `hasCollision`, `canMove` - -**Constants:** - -- UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants: `MAX_PLAYER_SPEED`, `DEFAULT_VOLUME` -- Group related constants in enums or const objects - -**Files and Directories:** - -- kebab-case for file names: `player-controller.ts`, `audio-manager.ts` -- PascalCase for scene files: `MenuScene.ts`, `GameScene.ts` - -## Phaser 3 Architecture Patterns - -### Scene Organization - -**Scene Lifecycle Management:** - -```typescript -class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { - private gameManager!: GameManager; - private inputManager!: InputManager; - - constructor() { - super({ key: "GameScene" }); - } - - preload(): void { - // Load only scene-specific assets - this.load.image("player", "assets/player.png"); - } - - create(data: SceneData): void { - // Initialize game systems - this.gameManager = new GameManager(this); - this.inputManager = new InputManager(this); - - // Set up scene-specific logic - this.setupGameObjects(); - this.setupEventListeners(); - } - - update(time: number, delta: number): void { - // Update all game systems - this.gameManager.update(delta); - this.inputManager.update(delta); - } - - shutdown(): void { - // Clean up resources - this.gameManager.destroy(); - this.inputManager.destroy(); - - // Remove event listeners - this.events.off("*"); - } -} -``` - -**Scene Transitions:** - -```typescript -// Proper scene transitions with data -this.scene.start("NextScene", { - playerScore: this.playerScore, - currentLevel: this.currentLevel + 1, -}); - -// Scene overlays for UI -this.scene.launch("PauseMenuScene"); -this.scene.pause(); -``` - -### Game Object Patterns - -**Component-Based Architecture:** - -```typescript -// Base game entity -abstract class GameEntity extends Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite { - protected components: Map = new Map(); - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, x: number, y: number, texture: string) { - super(scene, x, y, texture); - scene.add.existing(this); - } - - addComponent(component: T): T { - this.components.set(component.name, component); - return component; - } - - getComponent(name: string): T | undefined { - return this.components.get(name) as T; - } - - update(delta: number): void { - this.components.forEach((component) => component.update(delta)); - } - - destroy(): void { - this.components.forEach((component) => component.destroy()); - this.components.clear(); - super.destroy(); - } -} - -// Example player implementation -class Player extends GameEntity { - private movement!: MovementComponent; - private health!: HealthComponent; - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, x: number, y: number) { - super(scene, x, y, "player"); - - this.movement = this.addComponent(new MovementComponent(this)); - this.health = this.addComponent(new HealthComponent(this, 100)); - } -} -``` - -### System Management - -**Singleton Managers:** - -```typescript -class GameManager { - private static instance: GameManager; - private scene: Phaser.Scene; - private gameState: GameState; - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene) { - if (GameManager.instance) { - throw new Error("GameManager already exists!"); - } - - this.scene = scene; - this.gameState = this.loadGameState(); - GameManager.instance = this; - } - - static getInstance(): GameManager { - if (!GameManager.instance) { - throw new Error("GameManager not initialized!"); - } - return GameManager.instance; - } - - update(delta: number): void { - // Update game logic - } - - destroy(): void { - GameManager.instance = null!; - } -} -``` - -## Performance Optimization - -### Object Pooling - -**Required for High-Frequency Objects:** - -```typescript -class BulletPool { - private pool: Bullet[] = []; - private scene: Phaser.Scene; - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, initialSize: number = 50) { - this.scene = scene; - - // Pre-create bullets - for (let i = 0; i < initialSize; i++) { - const bullet = new Bullet(scene, 0, 0); - bullet.setActive(false); - bullet.setVisible(false); - this.pool.push(bullet); - } - } - - getBullet(): Bullet | null { - const bullet = this.pool.find((b) => !b.active); - if (bullet) { - bullet.setActive(true); - bullet.setVisible(true); - return bullet; - } - - // Pool exhausted - create new bullet - console.warn("Bullet pool exhausted, creating new bullet"); - return new Bullet(this.scene, 0, 0); - } - - releaseBullet(bullet: Bullet): void { - bullet.setActive(false); - bullet.setVisible(false); - bullet.setPosition(0, 0); - } -} -``` - -### Frame Rate Optimization - -**Performance Monitoring:** - -```typescript -class PerformanceMonitor { - private frameCount: number = 0; - private lastTime: number = 0; - private frameRate: number = 60; - - update(time: number): void { - this.frameCount++; - - if (time - this.lastTime >= 1000) { - this.frameRate = this.frameCount; - this.frameCount = 0; - this.lastTime = time; - - if (this.frameRate < 55) { - console.warn(`Low frame rate detected: ${this.frameRate} FPS`); - this.optimizePerformance(); - } - } - } - - private optimizePerformance(): void { - // Reduce particle counts, disable effects, etc. - } -} -``` - -**Update Loop Optimization:** - -```typescript -// Avoid expensive operations in update loops -class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { - private updateTimer: number = 0; - private readonly UPDATE_INTERVAL = 100; // ms - - update(time: number, delta: number): void { - // High-frequency updates (every frame) - this.updatePlayer(delta); - this.updatePhysics(delta); - - // Low-frequency updates (10 times per second) - this.updateTimer += delta; - if (this.updateTimer >= this.UPDATE_INTERVAL) { - this.updateUI(); - this.updateAI(); - this.updateTimer = 0; - } - } -} -``` - -## Input Handling - -### Cross-Platform Input - -**Input Abstraction:** - -```typescript -interface InputState { - moveLeft: boolean; - moveRight: boolean; - jump: boolean; - action: boolean; - pause: boolean; -} - -class InputManager { - private inputState: InputState = { - moveLeft: false, - moveRight: false, - jump: false, - action: false, - pause: false, - }; - - private keys!: { [key: string]: Phaser.Input.Keyboard.Key }; - private pointer!: Phaser.Input.Pointer; - - constructor(private scene: Phaser.Scene) { - this.setupKeyboard(); - this.setupTouch(); - } - - private setupKeyboard(): void { - this.keys = this.scene.input.keyboard.addKeys("W,A,S,D,SPACE,ESC,UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT"); - } - - private setupTouch(): void { - this.scene.input.on("pointerdown", this.handlePointerDown, this); - this.scene.input.on("pointerup", this.handlePointerUp, this); - } - - update(): void { - // Update input state from multiple sources - this.inputState.moveLeft = this.keys.A.isDown || this.keys.LEFT.isDown; - this.inputState.moveRight = this.keys.D.isDown || this.keys.RIGHT.isDown; - this.inputState.jump = Phaser.Input.Keyboard.JustDown(this.keys.SPACE); - // ... handle touch input - } - - getInputState(): InputState { - return { ...this.inputState }; - } -} -``` - -## Error Handling - -### Graceful Degradation - -**Asset Loading Error Handling:** - -```typescript -class AssetManager { - loadAssets(): Promise { - return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { - this.scene.load.on("filecomplete", this.handleFileComplete, this); - this.scene.load.on("loaderror", this.handleLoadError, this); - this.scene.load.on("complete", () => resolve()); - - this.scene.load.start(); - }); - } - - private handleLoadError(file: Phaser.Loader.File): void { - console.error(`Failed to load asset: ${file.key}`); - - // Use fallback assets - this.loadFallbackAsset(file.key); - } - - private loadFallbackAsset(key: string): void { - // Load placeholder or default assets - switch (key) { - case "player": - this.scene.load.image("player", "assets/defaults/default-player.png"); - break; - default: - console.warn(`No fallback for asset: ${key}`); - } - } -} -``` - -### Runtime Error Recovery - -**System Error Handling:** - -```typescript -class GameSystem { - protected handleError(error: Error, context: string): void { - console.error(`Error in ${context}:`, error); - - // Report to analytics/logging service - this.reportError(error, context); - - // Attempt recovery - this.attemptRecovery(context); - } - - private attemptRecovery(context: string): void { - switch (context) { - case "update": - // Reset system state - this.reset(); - break; - case "render": - // Disable visual effects - this.disableEffects(); - break; - default: - // Generic recovery - this.safeShutdown(); - } - } -} -``` - -## Testing Standards - -### Unit Testing - -**Game Logic Testing:** - -```typescript -// Example test for game mechanics -describe("HealthComponent", () => { - let healthComponent: HealthComponent; - - beforeEach(() => { - const mockEntity = {} as GameEntity; - healthComponent = new HealthComponent(mockEntity, 100); - }); - - test("should initialize with correct health", () => { - expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(100); - expect(healthComponent.maxHealth).toBe(100); - }); - - test("should handle damage correctly", () => { - healthComponent.takeDamage(25); - expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(75); - expect(healthComponent.isAlive()).toBe(true); - }); - - test("should handle death correctly", () => { - healthComponent.takeDamage(150); - expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(0); - expect(healthComponent.isAlive()).toBe(false); - }); -}); -``` - -### Integration Testing - -**Scene Testing:** - -```typescript -describe("GameScene Integration", () => { - let scene: GameScene; - let mockGame: Phaser.Game; - - beforeEach(() => { - // Mock Phaser game instance - mockGame = createMockGame(); - scene = new GameScene(); - }); - - test("should initialize all systems", () => { - scene.create({}); - - expect(scene.gameManager).toBeDefined(); - expect(scene.inputManager).toBeDefined(); - }); -});

First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented, with game-specific focus (e.g., "Please review the core mechanics for player engagement and implementation feasibility. Pay special attention to how these mechanics create the intended player experience and whether they're technically achievable with Phaser 3.") - -2. If the section contains game flow diagrams, level layouts, or system diagrams, explain each diagram briefly with game development context before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The gameplay loop diagram shows how player actions lead to rewards and progression. Notice how each step maintains player engagement and creates opportunities for skill development.") - -3. If the section contains multiple game elements (like multiple mechanics, multiple levels, multiple systems, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to: - - - The entire section as a whole - - Individual game elements within the section (specify which element when selecting an action) - -4. Then present the action list as specified below.]] - -### 2. Ask for Review and Present Game Design Action List - -[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted game design section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Game Design Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple game elements in the section, mention they can specify which element(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection. If an elicitation action (0-8) is chosen, execute it and then re-offer this combined review/elicitation choice.

Expand or Contract for Target Audience - [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the game design content (add more detail, elaborate on mechanics, include more examples) or 'contract' it (simplify mechanics, focus on core features, reduce complexity). Also, ask if there's a specific player demographic or experience level they have in mind (casual players, hardcore gamers, children, etc.). Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current game design role's perspective, tailored to the specified player audience if provided.]] - -1. Explain Game Design Reasoning (Step-by-Step) - [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step game design thinking process that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this game content. Focus on player psychology, engagement mechanics, technical feasibility, and how design decisions support the overall player experience goals.]] - -2. Critique and Refine from Player Perspective - [[LLM: From your current game design role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for potential player confusion, engagement issues, balance problems, or areas for improvement. Consider how players will actually interact with and experience these systems, then suggest a refined version that better serves player enjoyment and understanding.]] - -3. Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies - [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] - -5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks - [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective - [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] - -7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches - [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection - [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] - -9.

This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase. - -## Task Instructions - -### 1. Initial Project Analysis - -[[LLM: First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. - -**IF PRD EXISTS**: - -- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned -- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected -- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas -- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean - -**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: -Ask the user: - -"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: - -1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. - -2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? - -3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: - - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' - - 'Refactoring the authentication module' - - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' - -4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) - -Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." - -Based on their response: - -- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation -- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below - -Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: - -1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization -2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies -3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands -4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation -5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches - -Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: - -- What is the primary purpose of this project? -- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? -- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) -- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? -- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) -- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) - ]] - -### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis - -[[LLM: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: - -1. **Explore Key Areas**: - - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) - - Configuration files and environment setup - - Package dependencies and versions - - Build and deployment configurations - - Test suites and coverage - -2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: - - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" - - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" - - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" - - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" - - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" - -3. **Map the Reality**: - - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) - - Find where key business logic lives - - Locate integration points and external dependencies - - Document workarounds and technical debt - - Note areas that differ from standard patterns - -**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement]] - -### 3.

-==================== START: data#development-guidelines ==================== -# Game Development Guidelines - -## Overview - -This document establishes coding standards, architectural patterns, and development practices for 2D game development using Phaser 3 and TypeScript. These guidelines ensure consistency, performance, and maintainability across all game development stories. - -## TypeScript Standards - -### Strict Mode Configuration - -**Required tsconfig.json settings:** - -```json -{ - "compilerOptions": { - "strict": true, - "noImplicitAny": true, - "strictNullChecks": true, - "strictFunctionTypes": true, - "noImplicitReturns": true, - "noUnusedLocals": true, - "noUnusedParameters": true, - "exactOptionalPropertyTypes": true - } -} -``` - -### Type Definitions - -**Game Object Interfaces:** - -```typescript -// Core game entity interface -interface GameEntity { - readonly id: string; - position: Phaser.Math.Vector2; - active: boolean; - destroy(): void; -} - -// Player controller interface -interface PlayerController { - readonly inputEnabled: boolean; - handleInput(input: InputState): void; - update(delta: number): void; -} - -// Game system interface -interface GameSystem { - readonly name: string; - initialize(): void; - update(delta: number): void; - shutdown(): void; -} -``` - -**Scene Data Interfaces:** - -```typescript -// Scene transition data -interface SceneData { - [key: string]: any; -} - -// Game state interface -interface GameState { - currentLevel: number; - score: number; - lives: number; - settings: GameSettings; -} - -interface GameSettings { - musicVolume: number; - sfxVolume: number; - difficulty: "easy" | "normal" | "hard"; - controls: ControlScheme; -} -``` - -### Naming Conventions - -**Classes and Interfaces:** - -- PascalCase for classes: `PlayerSprite`, `GameManager`, `AudioSystem` -- PascalCase with 'I' prefix for interfaces: `IGameEntity`, `IPlayerController` -- Descriptive names that indicate purpose: `CollisionManager` not `CM` - -**Methods and Variables:** - -- camelCase for methods and variables: `updatePosition()`, `playerSpeed` -- Descriptive names: `calculateDamage()` not `calcDmg()` -- Boolean variables with is/has/can prefix: `isActive`, `hasCollision`, `canMove` - -**Constants:** - -- UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants: `MAX_PLAYER_SPEED`, `DEFAULT_VOLUME` -- Group related constants in enums or const objects - -**Files and Directories:** - -- kebab-case for file names: `player-controller.ts`, `audio-manager.ts` -- PascalCase for scene files: `MenuScene.ts`, `GameScene.ts` - -## Phaser 3 Architecture Patterns - -### Scene Organization - -**Scene Lifecycle Management:** - -```typescript -class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { - private gameManager!: GameManager; - private inputManager!: InputManager; - - constructor() { - super({ key: "GameScene" }); - } - - preload(): void { - // Load only scene-specific assets - this.load.image("player", "assets/player.png"); - } - - create(data: SceneData): void { - // Initialize game systems - this.gameManager = new GameManager(this); - this.inputManager = new InputManager(this); - - // Set up scene-specific logic - this.setupGameObjects(); - this.setupEventListeners(); - } - - update(time: number, delta: number): void { - // Update all game systems - this.gameManager.update(delta); - this.inputManager.update(delta); - } - - shutdown(): void { - // Clean up resources - this.gameManager.destroy(); - this.inputManager.destroy(); - - // Remove event listeners - this.events.off("*"); - } -} -``` - -**Scene Transitions:** - -```typescript -// Proper scene transitions with data -this.scene.start("NextScene", { - playerScore: this.playerScore, - currentLevel: this.currentLevel + 1, -}); - -// Scene overlays for UI -this.scene.launch("PauseMenuScene"); -this.scene.pause(); -``` - -### Game Object Patterns - -**Component-Based Architecture:** - -```typescript -// Base game entity -abstract class GameEntity extends Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite { - protected components: Map = new Map(); - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, x: number, y: number, texture: string) { - super(scene, x, y, texture); - scene.add.existing(this); - } - - addComponent(component: T): T { - this.components.set(component.name, component); - return component; - } - - getComponent(name: string): T | undefined { - return this.components.get(name) as T; - } - - update(delta: number): void { - this.components.forEach((component) => component.update(delta)); - } - - destroy(): void { - this.components.forEach((component) => component.destroy()); - this.components.clear(); - super.destroy(); - } -} - -// Example player implementation -class Player extends GameEntity { - private movement!: MovementComponent; - private health!: HealthComponent; - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, x: number, y: number) { - super(scene, x, y, "player"); - - this.movement = this.addComponent(new MovementComponent(this)); - this.health = this.addComponent(new HealthComponent(this, 100)); - } -} -``` - -### System Management - -**Singleton Managers:** - -```typescript -class GameManager { - private static instance: GameManager; - private scene: Phaser.Scene; - private gameState: GameState; - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene) { - if (GameManager.instance) { - throw new Error("GameManager already exists!"); - } - - this.scene = scene; - this.gameState = this.loadGameState(); - GameManager.instance = this; - } - - static getInstance(): GameManager { - if (!GameManager.instance) { - throw new Error("GameManager not initialized!"); - } - return GameManager.instance; - } - - update(delta: number): void { - // Update game logic - } - - destroy(): void { - GameManager.instance = null!; - } -} -``` - -## Performance Optimization - -### Object Pooling - -**Required for High-Frequency Objects:** - -```typescript -class BulletPool { - private pool: Bullet[] = []; - private scene: Phaser.Scene; - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, initialSize: number = 50) { - this.scene = scene; - - // Pre-create bullets - for (let i = 0; i < initialSize; i++) { - const bullet = new Bullet(scene, 0, 0); - bullet.setActive(false); - bullet.setVisible(false); - this.pool.push(bullet); - } - } - - getBullet(): Bullet | null { - const bullet = this.pool.find((b) => !b.active); - if (bullet) { - bullet.setActive(true); - bullet.setVisible(true); - return bullet; - } - - // Pool exhausted - create new bullet - console.warn("Bullet pool exhausted, creating new bullet"); - return new Bullet(this.scene, 0, 0); - } - - releaseBullet(bullet: Bullet): void { - bullet.setActive(false); - bullet.setVisible(false); - bullet.setPosition(0, 0); - } -} -``` - -### Frame Rate Optimization - -**Performance Monitoring:** - -```typescript -class PerformanceMonitor { - private frameCount: number = 0; - private lastTime: number = 0; - private frameRate: number = 60; - - update(time: number): void { - this.frameCount++; - - if (time - this.lastTime >= 1000) { - this.frameRate = this.frameCount; - this.frameCount = 0; - this.lastTime = time; - - if (this.frameRate < 55) { - console.warn(`Low frame rate detected: ${this.frameRate} FPS`); - this.optimizePerformance(); - } - } - } - - private optimizePerformance(): void { - // Reduce particle counts, disable effects, etc. - } -} -``` - -**Update Loop Optimization:** - -```typescript -// Avoid expensive operations in update loops -class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { - private updateTimer: number = 0; - private readonly UPDATE_INTERVAL = 100; // ms - - update(time: number, delta: number): void { - // High-frequency updates (every frame) - this.updatePlayer(delta); - this.updatePhysics(delta); - - // Low-frequency updates (10 times per second) - this.updateTimer += delta; - if (this.updateTimer >= this.UPDATE_INTERVAL) { - this.updateUI(); - this.updateAI(); - this.updateTimer = 0; - } - } -} -``` - -## Input Handling - -### Cross-Platform Input - -**Input Abstraction:** - -```typescript -interface InputState { - moveLeft: boolean; - moveRight: boolean; - jump: boolean; - action: boolean; - pause: boolean; -} - -class InputManager { - private inputState: InputState = { - moveLeft: false, - moveRight: false, - jump: false, - action: false, - pause: false, - }; - - private keys!: { [key: string]: Phaser.Input.Keyboard.Key }; - private pointer!: Phaser.Input.Pointer; - - constructor(private scene: Phaser.Scene) { - this.setupKeyboard(); - this.setupTouch(); - } - - private setupKeyboard(): void { - this.keys = this.scene.input.keyboard.addKeys("W,A,S,D,SPACE,ESC,UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT"); - } - - private setupTouch(): void { - this.scene.input.on("pointerdown", this.handlePointerDown, this); - this.scene.input.on("pointerup", this.handlePointerUp, this); - } - - update(): void { - // Update input state from multiple sources - this.inputState.moveLeft = this.keys.A.isDown || this.keys.LEFT.isDown; - this.inputState.moveRight = this.keys.D.isDown || this.keys.RIGHT.isDown; - this.inputState.jump = Phaser.Input.Keyboard.JustDown(this.keys.SPACE); - // ... handle touch input - } - - getInputState(): InputState { - return { ...this.inputState }; - } -} -``` - -## Error Handling - -### Graceful Degradation - -**Asset Loading Error Handling:** - -```typescript -class AssetManager { - loadAssets(): Promise { - return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { - this.scene.load.on("filecomplete", this.handleFileComplete, this); - this.scene.load.on("loaderror", this.handleLoadError, this); - this.scene.load.on("complete", () => resolve()); - - this.scene.load.start(); - }); - } - - private handleLoadError(file: Phaser.Loader.File): void { - console.error(`Failed to load asset: ${file.key}`); - - // Use fallback assets - this.loadFallbackAsset(file.key); - } - - private loadFallbackAsset(key: string): void { - // Load placeholder or default assets - switch (key) { - case "player": - this.scene.load.image("player", "assets/defaults/default-player.png"); - break; - default: - console.warn(`No fallback for asset: ${key}`); - } - } -} -``` - -### Runtime Error Recovery - -**System Error Handling:** - -```typescript -class GameSystem { - protected handleError(error: Error, context: string): void { - console.error(`Error in ${context}:`, error); - - // Report to analytics/logging service - this.reportError(error, context); - - // Attempt recovery - this.attemptRecovery(context); - } - - private attemptRecovery(context: string): void { - switch (context) { - case "update": - // Reset system state - this.reset(); - break; - case "render": - // Disable visual effects - this.disableEffects(); - break; - default: - // Generic recovery - this.safeShutdown(); - } - } -} -``` - -## Testing Standards - -### Unit Testing - -**Game Logic Testing:** - -```typescript -// Example test for game mechanics -describe("HealthComponent", () => { - let healthComponent: HealthComponent; - - beforeEach(() => { - const mockEntity = {} as GameEntity; - healthComponent = new HealthComponent(mockEntity, 100); - }); - - test("should initialize with correct health", () => { - expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(100); - expect(healthComponent.maxHealth).toBe(100); - }); - - test("should handle damage correctly", () => { - healthComponent.takeDamage(25); - expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(75); - expect(healthComponent.isAlive()).toBe(true); - }); - - test("should handle death correctly", () => { - healthComponent.takeDamage(150); - expect(healthComponent.currentHealth).toBe(0); - expect(healthComponent.isAlive()).toBe(false); - }); -}); -``` - -### Integration Testing - -**Scene Testing:** - -```typescript -describe("GameScene Integration", () => { - let scene: GameScene; - let mockGame: Phaser.Game; - - beforeEach(() => { - // Mock Phaser game instance - mockGame = createMockGame(); - scene = new GameScene(); - }); - - test("should initialize all systems", () => { - scene.create({}); - - expect(scene.gameManager).toBeDefined(); - expect(scene.inputManager).toBeDefined(); - }); -});

"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.

"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 -

Challenge from Critical Perspective (Self or Other Persona) - [[LLM: Adopt a critical perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another role or persona (e.g., 'as a customer', 'as [Another Persona Name]'), critique the content or play devil's advocate from that specified viewpoint. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your own current persona's viewpoint, arguing against the proposal or current content and highlighting weaknesses or counterarguments specific to your concerns. This can also randomly include YAGNI when appropriate, such as when trimming the scope of an MVP, the perspective might challenge the need for something to cut MVP scope.]] - -7. Explore Diverse Alternatives (ToT-Inspired) - [[LLM: From your role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches or solutions to the current topic. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2 distinct alternatives, detailing the pros, cons, and potential implications you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight is 20/20: The 'If Only...' Reflection - [[LLM: In your current persona, imagine it's a retrospective for a project based on the current content.

Identify Potential Risks and Unforeseen Issues - [[LLM: Based on your role's expertise, brainstorm potential risks, overlooked edge cases, or unintended consequences related to the current content or proposal.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Perspective (Self or Other Persona) - [[LLM: Adopt a critical perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another role or persona (e.g., 'as a customer', 'as [Another Persona Name]'), critique the content or play devil's advocate from that specified viewpoint. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your own current persona's viewpoint, arguing against the proposal or current content and highlighting weaknesses or counterarguments specific to your concerns. This can also randomly include YAGNI when appropriate, such as when trimming the scope of an MVP, the perspective might challenge the need for something to cut MVP scope.]] - -7. Explore Diverse Alternatives (ToT-Inspired) - [[LLM: From your role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches or solutions to the current topic. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2 distinct alternatives, detailing the pros, cons, and potential implications you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight is 20/20: The 'If Only...' Reflection - [[LLM: In your current persona, imagine it's a retrospective for a project based on the current content. What's the one 'if only we had known/done X...' that your role would humorously or dramatically highlight, along with the imagined consequences?]] - -9. Proceed / No Further Actions - [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list.

Plan remains readable and well-formatted - -## Error Handling - -- **Plan file not found**: Offer to create new plan -- **Malformed plan**: Attempt basic updates, warn user -- **Write permission error**: Show changes that would be made -- **Step not found**: Show available steps, ask for clarification -- **Concurrent updates**: Implement simple locking or warn about conflicts - -## Notes - -- Always preserve plan history (don't delete old information) -- Keep updates atomic to prevent corruption -- Consider creating backup before major updates -- Updates should enhance, not complicate, the workflow experience -- If plan becomes too cluttered, suggest creating fresh plan for next phase -==================== END: tasks#update-workflow-plan ==================== - -==================== START: data#bmad-kb ==================== -# BMAD Knowledge Base - -## Overview - -BMAD-METHOD (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-driven Development) is a framework that combines AI agents with Agile development methodologies. The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments. - -### Key Features - -- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role -- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization -- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs -- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists -- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control - -### When to Use BMAD - -- **New Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end development -- **Existing Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions and enhancements -- **Team Collaboration**: Multiple roles working together -- **Quality Assurance**: Structured testing and validation -- **Documentation**: Professional PRDs, architecture docs, user stories - -## How BMAD Works - -### The Core Method - -BMAD transforms you into a "Vibe CEO" - directing a team of specialized AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how: - -1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide vision and decisions; agents handle implementation details -2. **Specialized Agents**: Each agent masters one role (PM, Developer, Architect, etc.) -3. **Structured Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from idea to deployed code -4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective - -### The Two-Phase Approach - -**Phase 1: Planning (Web UI - Cost Effective)** -- Use large context windows (Gemini's 1M tokens) -- Generate comprehensive documents (PRD, Architecture) -- Leverage multiple agents for brainstorming -- Create once, use throughout development - -**Phase 2: Development (IDE - Implementation)** -- Shard documents into manageable pieces -- Execute focused SM ā†’ Dev cycles -- One story at a time, sequential progress -- Real-time file operations and testing - -### The Development Loop - -```text -1. SM Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Creates next story from sharded docs -2. You ā†’ Review and approve story -3. Dev Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Implements approved story -4. QA Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Reviews and refactors code -5. You ā†’ Verify completion -6. Repeat until epic complete -``` - -### Why This Works - -- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance -- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality -- **Incremental Progress**: Small stories = manageable complexity -- **Human Oversight**: You validate each step = quality control -- **Document-Driven**: Specs guide everything = consistency - -## Getting Started - -### Quick Start Options - -#### Option 1: Web UI -**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately - -1. Navigate to `dist/teams/` -2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content -3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT -4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed" -5. Type `/help` to see available commands - -#### Option 2: IDE Integration -**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, VS Code Copilot users - -```bash -# Interactive installation (recommended) -npx bmad-method install -``` - -**Installation Steps**: -- Choose "Complete installation" -- Select your IDE from supported options: - - **Cursor**: Native AI integration - - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE - - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities - - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features - - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support - - **VS Code Copilot**: AI-powered coding assistant - -**Note for VS Code Users**: BMAD-METHOD assumes when you mention "VS Code" that you're using it with an AI-powered extension like GitHub Copilot, Cline, or Roo. Standard VS Code without AI capabilities cannot run BMAD agents. The installer includes built-in support for Cline and Roo. - -**Verify Installation**: -- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents -- IDE-specific integration files created -- All agent commands/rules/modes available - -**Remember**: At its core, BMAD-METHOD is about mastering and harnessing prompt engineering. Any IDE with AI agent support can use BMAD - the framework provides the structured prompts and workflows that make AI development effective - -### Environment Selection Guide - -**Use Web UI for**: -- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture) -- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini) -- Brainstorming and analysis phases -- Multi-agent consultation and planning - -**Use IDE for**: -- Active development and coding -- File operations and project integration -- Document sharding and story management -- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles) - -**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development. - -### IDE-Only Workflow Considerations - -**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs: - -**Pros of IDE-Only**: -- Single environment workflow -- Direct file operations from start -- No copy/paste between environments -- Immediate project integration - -**Cons of IDE-Only**: -- Higher token costs for large document creation -- Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model) -- May hit limits during planning phases -- Less cost-effective for brainstorming - -**Using Web Agents in IDE**: -- **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts -- **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context -- **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization - -**About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**: -- **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT... -- **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results -- **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs -- **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but... - -**CRITICAL RULE for Development**: -- **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator -- **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator -- **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow -- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM ā†’ Dev for implementation - -**Best Practice for IDE-Only**: -1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master) -2. Create documents directly in project -3. Shard immediately after creation -4. **MUST switch to SM agent** for story creation -5. **MUST switch to Dev agent** for implementation -6. Keep planning and coding in separate chat sessions - -## Core Configuration (core-config.yaml) - -**New in V4**: The `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility. - -### What is core-config.yaml? - -This configuration file acts as a map for BMAD agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables: - -- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures -- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live -- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load -- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting - -### Key Configuration Areas - -#### PRD Configuration -- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions -- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true) -- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files -- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`) - -#### Architecture Configuration -- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded) -- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components -- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live - -#### Developer Files -- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task -- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures -- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations - -### Why It Matters - -1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure -2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace -3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMAD to match your team's process -4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration - -### Common Configurations - -**Legacy V3 Project**: -```yaml -prdVersion: v3 -prdSharded: false -architectureVersion: v3 -architectureSharded: false -``` - -**V4 Optimized Project**: -```yaml -prdVersion: v4 -prdSharded: true -prdShardedLocation: docs/prd -architectureVersion: v4 -architectureSharded: true -architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture -``` - -## Core Philosophy - -### Vibe CEO'ing - -You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to: - -- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives -- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality -- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents - -### Core Principles - -1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate. -2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs. -3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment. -4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process. -5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs. -6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs. -7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand. -8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges. - -### Key Workflow Principles - -1. **Agent Specialization**: Each agent has specific expertise and responsibilities -2. **Clean Handoffs**: Always start fresh when switching between agents -3. **Status Tracking**: Maintain story statuses (Draft ā†’ Approved ā†’ InProgress ā†’ Done) -4. **Iterative Development**: Complete one story before starting the next -5. **Documentation First**: Always start with solid PRD and architecture - -## Agent System - -### Core Development Team - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ----------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | -| `analyst` | Business Analyst | Market research, requirements gathering | Project planning, competitive analysis | -| `pm` | Product Manager | PRD creation, feature prioritization | Strategic planning, roadmaps | -| `architect` | Solution Architect | System design, technical architecture | Complex systems, scalability planning | -| `dev` | Developer | Code implementation, debugging | All development tasks | -| `qa` | QA Specialist | Test planning, quality assurance | Testing strategies, bug validation | -| `ux-expert` | UX Designer | UI/UX design, prototypes | User experience, interface design | -| `po` | Product Owner | Backlog management, story validation | Story refinement, acceptance criteria | -| `sm` | Scrum Master | Sprint planning, story creation | Project management, workflow | - -### Meta Agents - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | -| `bmad-orchestrator` | Team Coordinator | Multi-agent workflows, role switching | Complex multi-role tasks | -| `bmad-master` | Universal Expert | All capabilities without switching | Single-session comprehensive work | - -### Agent Interaction Commands - -#### IDE-Specific Syntax - -**Agent Loading by IDE**: -- **Claude Code**: `/agent-name` (e.g., `/bmad-master`) -- **Cursor**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) -- **Windsurf**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) -- **Roo Code**: Select mode from mode selector (e.g., `bmad-bmad-master`) -- **VS Code Copilot**: Open the Chat view (`āŒƒāŒ˜I` on Mac, `Ctrl+Alt+I` on Windows/Linux) and select **Agent** from the chat mode selector. - -**Chat Management Guidelines**: -- **Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf**: Start new chats when switching agents -- **Roo Code**: Switch modes within the same conversation - -**Common Task Commands**: -- `*help` - Show available commands -- `*status` - Show current context/progress -- `*exit` - Exit the agent mode -- `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd` - Shard PRD into manageable pieces -- `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture` - Shard architecture document -- `*create` - Run create-next-story task (SM agent) - -**In Web UI**: -```text -/pm create-doc prd -/architect review system design -/dev implement story 1.2 -/help - Show available commands -/switch agent-name - Change active agent (if orchestrator available) -``` - -## Team Configurations - -### Pre-Built Teams - -#### Team All -- **Includes**: All 10 agents + orchestrator -- **Use Case**: Complete projects requiring all roles -- **Bundle**: `team-all.txt` - -#### Team Fullstack -- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA, UX Expert -- **Use Case**: End-to-end web/mobile development -- **Bundle**: `team-fullstack.txt` - -#### Team No-UI -- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA (no UX Expert) -- **Use Case**: Backend services, APIs, system development -- **Bundle**: `team-no-ui.txt` - -## Core Architecture - -### System Overview - -The BMAD-Method is built around a modular architecture centered on the `bmad-core` directory, which serves as the brain of the entire system. This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). - -### Key Architectural Components - -#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) -- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) -- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies -- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use -- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context - -#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) -- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes -- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) -- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments - -#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) -- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types -- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development -- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions - -#### 4. Reusable Resources -- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories -- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" -- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review -- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences - -### Dual Environment Architecture - -#### IDE Environment - -- Users interact directly with agent markdown files -- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically -- Supports real-time file operations and project integration -- Optimized for development workflow execution - -#### Web UI Environment - -- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assest with an orchestrating agent -- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team -- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces -- Provides complete context in one package - -### Template Processing System - -BMAD employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: - -1. **Template Format** (`utils/template-format.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives -2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction -3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming - -**Template Features**: - -- **Self-contained**: Templates embed both output structure and processing instructions -- **Variable Substitution**: `{{placeholders}}` for dynamic content -- **AI Processing Directives**: `[[LLM: instructions]]` for AI-only processing -- **Interactive Refinement**: Built-in elicitation processes for quality improvement - -### Technical Preferences Integration - -The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: -- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects -- Eliminates repetitive technology specification -- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences -- Evolves over time with lessons learned - -### Build and Delivery Process - -The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: -1. Reading agent or team definition files -2. Recursively resolving all dependencies -3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators -4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces - -This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMAD powerful. - -## Complete Development Workflow - -### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** - -**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: -1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis - -**For All Projects**: -1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis -2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) -3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements -4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation -5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` - -#### Example Planning Prompts - -**For PRD Creation**: -```text -"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. -Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." -``` - -**For Architecture Design**: -```text -"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture -that can handle [specific requirements]." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE - -**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** - -- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project - -### IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): - - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Two methods to shard: - a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat - b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents - - Shards `docs/prd.md` ā†’ `docs/prd/` folder - - Shards `docs/architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Content**: - - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order - - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation - -**Resulting Folder Structure**: -- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections -- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections -- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories - -3. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `@sm` ā†’ `*create` - - SM executes create-next-story task - - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@dev` - - Agent asks which story to implement - - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time - - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Dev maintains File List of all changes - - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing - - **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@qa` ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM ā†’ Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. - -### Status Tracking Workflow - -Stories progress through defined statuses: -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Development -- Business analysis and market research -- Product requirements and feature definition -- System architecture and design -- Development execution -- Testing and deployment - -#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. - -**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: - -**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` -3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` - - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided - - Choose "single document" format for Web UI - - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas - - Creates one comprehensive markdown file - - Avoids bloating docs with unused code - -**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** -2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` - - More thorough but can create excessive documentation - -2. **Requirements Gathering**: - - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` - - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points - - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment - - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes - -3. **Architecture Planning**: - - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` - - **Integration Strategy**: How new features integrate with existing system - - **Migration Planning**: Gradual rollout and backwards compatibility - - **Risk Mitigation**: Addressing potential breaking changes - -**Brownfield-Specific Resources**: - -**Templates**: -- `brownfield-prd-tmpl.md`: Comprehensive enhancement planning with existing system analysis -- `brownfield-architecture-tmpl.md`: Integration-focused architecture for existing systems - -**Tasks**: -- `document-project`: Generates comprehensive documentation from existing codebase -- `brownfield-create-epic`: Creates single epic for focused enhancements (when full PRD is overkill) -- `brownfield-create-story`: Creates individual story for small, isolated changes - -**When to Use Each Approach**: - -**Full Brownfield Workflow** (Recommended for): -- Major feature additions -- System modernization -- Complex integrations -- Multiple related changes - -**Quick Epic/Story Creation** (Use when): -- Single, focused enhancement -- Isolated bug fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing system - -**Critical Success Factors**: -1. **Documentation First**: Always run `document-project` if docs are outdated/missing -2. **Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant code sections -3. **Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -**For detailed guide**: See `docs/working-in-the-brownfield.md` - -## Document Creation Best Practices - -### Required File Naming for Framework Integration - -- `docs/prd.md` - Product Requirements Document -- `docs/architecture.md` - System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter**: -- Agents automatically reference these files during development -- Sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Documents (PRD, Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` -4. **Switch to IDE**: Use IDE agents for development and smaller documents - -### Document Sharding - -Templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original PRD**: -```markdown -## Goals and Background Context -## Requirements -## User Interface Design Goals -## Success Metrics -``` - -**After Sharding**: -- `docs/prd/goals-and-background-context.md` -- `docs/prd/requirements.md` -- `docs/prd/user-interface-design-goals.md` -- `docs/prd/success-metrics.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic sharding. - -## Usage Patterns and Best Practices - -### Environment-Specific Usage - -**Web UI Best For**: -- Initial planning and documentation phases -- Cost-effective large document creation -- Agent consultation and brainstorming -- Multi-agent workflows with orchestrator - -**IDE Best For**: -- Active development and implementation -- File operations and project integration -- Story management and development cycles -- Code review and debugging - -### Quality Assurance - -- Use appropriate agents for specialized tasks -- Follow Agile ceremonies and review processes -- Maintain document consistency with PO agent -- Regular validation with checklists and templates - -### Performance Optimization - -- Use specific agents vs. `bmad-master` for focused tasks -- Choose appropriate team size for project needs -- Leverage technical preferences for consistency -- Regular context management and cache clearing - -## Success Tips - -- **Use Gemini for big picture planning** - The team-fullstack bundle provides collaborative expertise -- **Use bmad-master for document organization** - Sharding creates manageable chunks -- **Follow the SM ā†’ Dev cycle religiously** - This ensures systematic progress -- **Keep conversations focused** - One agent, one task per conversation -- **Review everything** - Always review and approve before marking complete - -## Contributing to BMAD-METHOD -

Initial Setup & Mode Selection - -- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** - - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. - - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. - - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `change-checklist` (e.g., `change-checklist`). -- **Establish Interaction Mode:** - - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: - - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the `change-checklist` section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." - - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." - - Request the user to select their preferred mode. - - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode (e.g., "Okay, we will proceed in Incremental mode."). This chosen mode will govern how subsequent steps in this task are executed. -- **Explain Process:** Briefly inform the user: "We will now use the `change-checklist` to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." - When asking multiple questions or presenting multiple points for user input at once, number them clearly (e.g., 1., 2a., 2b.) to make it easier for the user to provide specific responses. - -### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) - -- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the `change-checklist` (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). -- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): - - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. - - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. - - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. - - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. - - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. - -### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) - -- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): - - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). - - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: - - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. - - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. - - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). - - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. - - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). - - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. - - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. - -### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits - -- Synthesize the complete `change-checklist` analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the `change-checklist` (Proposal Components). -- The proposal must clearly present: - - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. - - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). -- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. - -### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps - -- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. -- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. -- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** - - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. - - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. - -## Output Deliverables - -- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: - - A summary of the `change-checklist` analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). - - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. -- **Implicit:** An annotated `change-checklist` (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. -==================== END: tasks#correct-course ==================== - -==================== START: tasks#brownfield-create-epic ==================== -# Create Brownfield Epic Task - -## Purpose - -Create a single epic for smaller brownfield enhancements that don't require the full PRD and Architecture documentation process.

For example, an API completed can deliver value even if a UI is not complete and planned for a separate epic. -- Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things. -- Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories.

Core Prompting Principles - -Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code. - -- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. -- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. -- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. -- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. - -### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework - -To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. - -1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. - - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ -2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. - - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ -3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. - - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ -4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. - - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ - -### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt - -You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. - -1. **Gather Foundational Context**: - - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. -2. **Describe the Visuals**: - - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. - - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). -3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: - - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. -4. **Present and Refine**: - - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). - - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. - - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. -==================== END: tasks#generate-ai-frontend-prompt ==================== - -==================== START: templates#front-end-spec-tmpl ==================== -# {{Project Name}} UI/UX Specification - -[[LLM: The default path and filename unless specified is docs/front-end-spec.md]] - -[[LLM: Review provided documents including Project Brief, PRD, and any user research to gather context.

Then present the action list as specified below.]] - -### 2. Ask for Review and Present Action List - -[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Reflective, Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple items in the section, mention they can specify which item(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection.

Analyze Logical Flow and Dependencies - [[LLM: From your role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical progression, internal consistency, and any relevant dependencies. Confirm if elements are presented in an effective order.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Overall Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current content contributes to the stated overall goals of the document, interpreting this from your specific role's perspective and identifying any misalignments you perceive.]] - -5. Identify Potential Risks and Unforeseen Issues - [[LLM: Based on your role's expertise, brainstorm potential risks, overlooked edge cases, or unintended consequences related to the current content or proposal.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Perspective (Self or Other Persona) - [[LLM: Adopt a critical perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another role or persona (e.g., 'as a customer', 'as [Another Persona Name]'), critique the content or play devil's advocate from that specified viewpoint.

The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments. - -### Key Features - -- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role -- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization -- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs -- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists -- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control - -### When to Use BMAD - -- **New Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end development -- **Existing Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions and enhancements -- **Team Collaboration**: Multiple roles working together -- **Quality Assurance**: Structured testing and validation -- **Documentation**: Professional PRDs, architecture docs, user stories - -## How BMAD Works - -### The Core Method - -BMAD transforms you into a "Vibe CEO" - directing a team of specialized AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how: - -1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide vision and decisions; agents handle implementation details -2. **Specialized Agents**: Each agent masters one role (PM, Developer, Architect, etc.) -3. **Structured Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from idea to deployed code -4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective - -### The Two-Phase Approach - -**Phase 1: Planning (Web UI - Cost Effective)** -- Use large context windows (Gemini's 1M tokens) -- Generate comprehensive documents (PRD, Architecture) -- Leverage multiple agents for brainstorming -- Create once, use throughout development - -**Phase 2: Development (IDE - Implementation)** -- Shard documents into manageable pieces -- Execute focused SM ā†’ Dev cycles -- One story at a time, sequential progress -- Real-time file operations and testing - -### The Development Loop - -```text -1. SM Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Creates next story from sharded docs -2. You ā†’ Review and approve story -3. Dev Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Implements approved story -4. QA Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Reviews and refactors code -5. You ā†’ Verify completion -6. Repeat until epic complete -``` - -### Why This Works - -- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance -- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality -- **Incremental Progress**: Small stories = manageable complexity -- **Human Oversight**: You validate each step = quality control -- **Document-Driven**: Specs guide everything = consistency - -## Getting Started - -### Quick Start Options - -#### Option 1: Web UI -**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately - -1. Navigate to `dist/teams/` -2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content -3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT -4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed" -5. Type `/help` to see available commands - -#### Option 2: IDE Integration -**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, VS Code Copilot users - -```bash -# Interactive installation (recommended) -npx bmad-method install -``` - -**Installation Steps**: -- Choose "Complete installation" -- Select your IDE from supported options: - - **Cursor**: Native AI integration - - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE - - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities - - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features - - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support - - **VS Code Copilot**: AI-powered coding assistant - -**Note for VS Code Users**: BMAD-METHOD assumes when you mention "VS Code" that you're using it with an AI-powered extension like GitHub Copilot, Cline, or Roo. Standard VS Code without AI capabilities cannot run BMAD agents. The installer includes built-in support for Cline and Roo. - -**Verify Installation**: -- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents -- IDE-specific integration files created -- All agent commands/rules/modes available - -**Remember**: At its core, BMAD-METHOD is about mastering and harnessing prompt engineering. Any IDE with AI agent support can use BMAD - the framework provides the structured prompts and workflows that make AI development effective - -### Environment Selection Guide - -**Use Web UI for**: -- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture) -- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini) -- Brainstorming and analysis phases -- Multi-agent consultation and planning - -**Use IDE for**: -- Active development and coding -- File operations and project integration -- Document sharding and story management -- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles) - -**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development. - -### IDE-Only Workflow Considerations - -**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs: - -**Pros of IDE-Only**: -- Single environment workflow -- Direct file operations from start -- No copy/paste between environments -- Immediate project integration - -**Cons of IDE-Only**: -- Higher token costs for large document creation -- Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model) -- May hit limits during planning phases -- Less cost-effective for brainstorming - -**Using Web Agents in IDE**: -- **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts -- **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context -- **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization - -**About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**: -- **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT... -- **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results -- **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs -- **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but... - -**CRITICAL RULE for Development**: -- **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator -- **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator -- **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow -- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM ā†’ Dev for implementation - -**Best Practice for IDE-Only**: -1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master) -2. Create documents directly in project -3. Shard immediately after creation -4. **MUST switch to SM agent** for story creation -5. **MUST switch to Dev agent** for implementation -6. Keep planning and coding in separate chat sessions - -## Core Configuration (core-config.yaml) - -**New in V4**: The `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility. - -### What is core-config.yaml? - -This configuration file acts as a map for BMAD agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables: - -- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures -- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live -- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load -- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting - -### Key Configuration Areas - -#### PRD Configuration -- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions -- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true) -- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files -- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`) - -#### Architecture Configuration -- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded) -- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components -- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live - -#### Developer Files -- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task -- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures -- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations - -### Why It Matters - -1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure -2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace -3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMAD to match your team's process -4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration - -### Common Configurations - -**Legacy V3 Project**: -```yaml -prdVersion: v3 -prdSharded: false -architectureVersion: v3 -architectureSharded: false -``` - -**V4 Optimized Project**: -```yaml -prdVersion: v4 -prdSharded: true -prdShardedLocation: docs/prd -architectureVersion: v4 -architectureSharded: true -architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture -``` - -## Core Philosophy - -### Vibe CEO'ing - -You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to: - -- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives -- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality -- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents - -### Core Principles - -1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more.

This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). - -### Key Architectural Components - -#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) -- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) -- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies -- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use -- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context - -#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) -- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes -- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) -- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments - -#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) -- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types -- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development -- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions - -#### 4. Reusable Resources -- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories -- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" -- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review -- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences - -### Dual Environment Architecture - -#### IDE Environment - -- Users interact directly with agent markdown files -- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically -- Supports real-time file operations and project integration -- Optimized for development workflow execution - -#### Web UI Environment - -- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assest with an orchestrating agent -- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team -- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces -- Provides complete context in one package - -### Template Processing System - -BMAD employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: - -1. **Template Format** (`utils/template-format.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives -2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction -3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming - -**Template Features**: - -- **Self-contained**: Templates embed both output structure and processing instructions -- **Variable Substitution**: `{{placeholders}}` for dynamic content -- **AI Processing Directives**: `[[LLM: instructions]]` for AI-only processing -- **Interactive Refinement**: Built-in elicitation processes for quality improvement - -### Technical Preferences Integration - -The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: -- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects -- Eliminates repetitive technology specification -- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences -- Evolves over time with lessons learned - -### Build and Delivery Process - -The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: -1. Reading agent or team definition files -2. Recursively resolving all dependencies -3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators -4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces - -This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMAD powerful. - -## Complete Development Workflow - -### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** - -**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: -1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis - -**For All Projects**: -1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis -2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) -3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements -4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation -5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` - -#### Example Planning Prompts - -**For PRD Creation**: -```text -"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. -Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." -``` - -**For Architecture Design**: -```text -"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture -that can handle [specific requirements]." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE - -**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** - -- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project - -### IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): - - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Two methods to shard: - a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat - b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents - - Shards `docs/prd.md` ā†’ `docs/prd/` folder - - Shards `docs/architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Content**: - - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order - - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation - -**Resulting Folder Structure**: -- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections -- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections -- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories - -3. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `@sm` ā†’ `*create` - - SM executes create-next-story task - - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@dev` - - Agent asks which story to implement - - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time - - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Dev maintains File List of all changes - - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing - - **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@qa` ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM ā†’ Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. - -### Status Tracking Workflow - -Stories progress through defined statuses: -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Development -- Business analysis and market research -- Product requirements and feature definition -- System architecture and design -- Development execution -- Testing and deployment - -#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. - -**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: - -**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` -3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` - - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided - - Choose "single document" format for Web UI - - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas - - Creates one comprehensive markdown file - - Avoids bloating docs with unused code - -**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** -2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` - - More thorough but can create excessive documentation - -2. **Requirements Gathering**: - - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` - - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points - - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment - - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes - -3. **Architecture Planning**: - - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` - - **Integration Strategy**: How new features integrate with existing system - - **Migration Planning**: Gradual rollout and backwards compatibility - - **Risk Mitigation**: Addressing potential breaking changes - -**Brownfield-Specific Resources**: - -**Templates**: -- `brownfield-prd-tmpl.md`: Comprehensive enhancement planning with existing system analysis -- `brownfield-architecture-tmpl.md`: Integration-focused architecture for existing systems - -**Tasks**: -- `document-project`: Generates comprehensive documentation from existing codebase -- `brownfield-create-epic`: Creates single epic for focused enhancements (when full PRD is overkill) -- `brownfield-create-story`: Creates individual story for small, isolated changes - -**When to Use Each Approach**: - -**Full Brownfield Workflow** (Recommended for): -- Major feature additions -- System modernization -- Complex integrations -- Multiple related changes - -**Quick Epic/Story Creation** (Use when): -- Single, focused enhancement -- Isolated bug fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing system - -**Critical Success Factors**: -1. **Documentation First**: Always run `document-project` if docs are outdated/missing -2. **Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant code sections -3. **Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -**For detailed guide**: See `docs/working-in-the-brownfield.md` - -## Document Creation Best Practices - -### Required File Naming for Framework Integration - -- `docs/prd.md` - Product Requirements Document -- `docs/architecture.md` - System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter**: -- Agents automatically reference these files during development -- Sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Documents (PRD, Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` -4. **Switch to IDE**: Use IDE agents for development and smaller documents - -### Document Sharding - -Templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original PRD**: -```markdown -## Goals and Background Context -## Requirements -## User Interface Design Goals -## Success Metrics -``` - -**After Sharding**: -- `docs/prd/goals-and-background-context.md` -- `docs/prd/requirements.md` -- `docs/prd/user-interface-design-goals.md` -- `docs/prd/success-metrics.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic sharding. - -## Usage Patterns and Best Practices - -### Environment-Specific Usage - -**Web UI Best For**: -- Initial planning and documentation phases -- Cost-effective large document creation -- Agent consultation and brainstorming -- Multi-agent workflows with orchestrator - -**IDE Best For**: -- Active development and implementation -- File operations and project integration -- Story management and development cycles -- Code review and debugging - -### Quality Assurance - -- Use appropriate agents for specialized tasks -- Follow Agile ceremonies and review processes -- Maintain document consistency with PO agent -- Regular validation with checklists and templates - -### Performance Optimization - -- Use specific agents vs. `bmad-master` for focused tasks -- Choose appropriate team size for project needs -- Leverage technical preferences for consistency -- Regular context management and cache clearing - -## Success Tips - -- **Use Gemini for big picture planning** - The team-fullstack bundle provides collaborative expertise -- **Use bmad-master for document organization** - Sharding creates manageable chunks -- **Follow the SM ā†’ Dev cycle religiously** - This ensures systematic progress -- **Keep conversations focused** - One agent, one task per conversation -- **Review everything** - Always review and approve before marking complete - -## Contributing to BMAD-METHOD -

Initial Project Analysis - -[[LLM: First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. - -**IF PRD EXISTS**: - -- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned -- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected -- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas -- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean - -**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: -Ask the user: - -"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: - -1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. - -2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? - -3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: - - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' - - 'Refactoring the authentication module' - - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' - -4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) - -Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." - -Based on their response: - -- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation -- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below - -Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: - -1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization -2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies -3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands -4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation -5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches - -Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: - -- What is the primary purpose of this project? -- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? -- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) -- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? -- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) -- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) - ]] - -### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis - -[[LLM: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: - -1. **Explore Key Areas**: - - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) - - Configuration files and environment setup - - Package dependencies and versions - - Build and deployment configurations - - Test suites and coverage - -2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: - - "I see you're using [technology X].

Initial Setup & Mode Selection - -- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** - - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. - - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. - - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `change-checklist` (e.g., `change-checklist`). -- **Establish Interaction Mode:** - - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: - - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the `change-checklist` section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." - - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." - - Request the user to select their preferred mode. - - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode (e.g., "Okay, we will proceed in Incremental mode."). This chosen mode will govern how subsequent steps in this task are executed. -- **Explain Process:** Briefly inform the user: "We will now use the `change-checklist` to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." - When asking multiple questions or presenting multiple points for user input at once, number them clearly (e.g., 1., 2a., 2b.) to make it easier for the user to provide specific responses. - -### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) - -- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the `change-checklist` (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). -- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): - - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. - - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. - - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. - - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. - - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. - -### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) - -- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): - - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). - - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: - - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. - - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. - - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). - - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. - - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). - - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. - - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. - -### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits - -- Synthesize the complete `change-checklist` analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the `change-checklist` (Proposal Components). -- The proposal must clearly present: - - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. - - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). -- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. - -### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps - -- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. -- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. -- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** - - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. - - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. - -## Output Deliverables - -- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: - - A summary of the `change-checklist` analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). - - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. -- **Implicit:** An annotated `change-checklist` (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. -==================== END: tasks#correct-course ==================== - -==================== START: tasks#brownfield-create-epic ==================== -# Create Brownfield Epic Task - -## Purpose - -Create a single epic for smaller brownfield enhancements that don't require the full PRD and Architecture documentation process.

Core Prompting Principles - -Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code. - -- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs. -- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results. -- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals. -- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop. - -### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework - -To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework. - -1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task. - - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_ -2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt. - - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_ -3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do. - - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_ -4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase. - - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_ - -### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt - -You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt. - -1. **Gather Foundational Context**: - - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used. -2. **Describe the Visuals**: - - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots. - - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful"). -3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**: - - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page. -4. **Present and Refine**: - - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block). - - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above. - - Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready. -==================== END: tasks#generate-ai-frontend-prompt ==================== - -==================== START: templates#front-end-spec-tmpl ==================== -# {{Project Name}} UI/UX Specification - -[[LLM: The default path and filename unless specified is docs/front-end-spec.md]] - -[[LLM: Review provided documents including Project Brief, PRD, and any user research to gather context.

Expand or Contract for Audience - [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the content (add more detail, elaborate) or 'contract' it (simplify, clarify, make more concise). Also, ask if there's a specific target audience they have in mind. Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current role's perspective, tailored to the specified audience if provided.]] - -1. Explain Reasoning (CoT Step-by-Step) - [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step thinking process, characteristic of your role, that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this content.]] - -2.

Analyze Logical Flow and Dependencies - [[LLM: From your role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical progression, internal consistency, and any relevant dependencies. Confirm if elements are presented in an effective order.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Overall Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current content contributes to the stated overall goals of the document, interpreting this from your specific role's perspective and identifying any misalignments you perceive.]] - -5. Identify Potential Risks and Unforeseen Issues - [[LLM: Based on your role's expertise, brainstorm potential risks, overlooked edge cases, or unintended consequences related to the current content or proposal.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Perspective (Self or Other Persona) - [[LLM: Adopt a critical perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another role or persona (e.g., 'as a customer', 'as [Another Persona Name]'), critique the content or play devil's advocate from that specified viewpoint. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your own current persona's viewpoint, arguing against the proposal or current content and highlighting weaknesses or counterarguments specific to your concerns. This can also randomly include YAGNI when appropriate, such as when trimming the scope of an MVP, the perspective might challenge the need for something to cut MVP scope.]] - -7. Explore Diverse Alternatives (ToT-Inspired) - [[LLM: From your role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches or solutions to the current topic. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2 distinct alternatives, detailing the pros, cons, and potential implications you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight is 20/20: The 'If Only...' Reflection - [[LLM: In your current persona, imagine it's a retrospective for a project based on the current content. What's the one 'if only we had known/done X...' that your role would humorously or dramatically highlight, along with the imagined consequences?]] - -9. Proceed / No Further Actions - [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list.

The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments. - -### Key Features - -- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role -- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization -- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs -- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists -- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control - -### When to Use BMAD - -- **New Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end development -- **Existing Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions and enhancements -- **Team Collaboration**: Multiple roles working together -- **Quality Assurance**: Structured testing and validation -- **Documentation**: Professional PRDs, architecture docs, user stories - -## How BMAD Works - -### The Core Method - -BMAD transforms you into a "Vibe CEO" - directing a team of specialized AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how: - -1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide vision and decisions; agents handle implementation details -2. **Specialized Agents**: Each agent masters one role (PM, Developer, Architect, etc.) -3. **Structured Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from idea to deployed code -4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective - -### The Two-Phase Approach - -**Phase 1: Planning (Web UI - Cost Effective)** -- Use large context windows (Gemini's 1M tokens) -- Generate comprehensive documents (PRD, Architecture) -- Leverage multiple agents for brainstorming -- Create once, use throughout development - -**Phase 2: Development (IDE - Implementation)** -- Shard documents into manageable pieces -- Execute focused SM ā†’ Dev cycles -- One story at a time, sequential progress -- Real-time file operations and testing - -### The Development Loop - -```text -1. SM Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Creates next story from sharded docs -2. You ā†’ Review and approve story -3. Dev Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Implements approved story -4. QA Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Reviews and refactors code -5. You ā†’ Verify completion -6. Repeat until epic complete -``` - -### Why This Works - -- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance -- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality -- **Incremental Progress**: Small stories = manageable complexity -- **Human Oversight**: You validate each step = quality control -- **Document-Driven**: Specs guide everything = consistency - -## Getting Started - -### Quick Start Options - -#### Option 1: Web UI -**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately - -1. Navigate to `dist/teams/` -2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content -3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT -4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed" -5. Type `/help` to see available commands - -#### Option 2: IDE Integration -**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, VS Code Copilot users - -```bash -# Interactive installation (recommended) -npx bmad-method install -``` - -**Installation Steps**: -- Choose "Complete installation" -- Select your IDE from supported options: - - **Cursor**: Native AI integration - - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE - - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities - - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features - - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support - - **VS Code Copilot**: AI-powered coding assistant - -**Note for VS Code Users**: BMAD-METHOD assumes when you mention "VS Code" that you're using it with an AI-powered extension like GitHub Copilot, Cline, or Roo. Standard VS Code without AI capabilities cannot run BMAD agents. The installer includes built-in support for Cline and Roo. - -**Verify Installation**: -- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents -- IDE-specific integration files created -- All agent commands/rules/modes available - -**Remember**: At its core, BMAD-METHOD is about mastering and harnessing prompt engineering. Any IDE with AI agent support can use BMAD - the framework provides the structured prompts and workflows that make AI development effective - -### Environment Selection Guide - -**Use Web UI for**: -- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture) -- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini) -- Brainstorming and analysis phases -- Multi-agent consultation and planning - -**Use IDE for**: -- Active development and coding -- File operations and project integration -- Document sharding and story management -- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles) - -**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development. - -### IDE-Only Workflow Considerations - -**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs: - -**Pros of IDE-Only**: -- Single environment workflow -- Direct file operations from start -- No copy/paste between environments -- Immediate project integration - -**Cons of IDE-Only**: -- Higher token costs for large document creation -- Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model) -- May hit limits during planning phases -- Less cost-effective for brainstorming - -**Using Web Agents in IDE**: -- **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts -- **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context -- **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization - -**About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**: -- **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT... -- **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results -- **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs -- **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but... - -**CRITICAL RULE for Development**: -- **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator -- **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator -- **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow -- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM ā†’ Dev for implementation - -**Best Practice for IDE-Only**: -1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master) -2. Create documents directly in project -3. Shard immediately after creation -4. **MUST switch to SM agent** for story creation -5. **MUST switch to Dev agent** for implementation -6. Keep planning and coding in separate chat sessions - -## Core Configuration (core-config.yaml) - -**New in V4**: The `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility. - -### What is core-config.yaml? - -This configuration file acts as a map for BMAD agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables: - -- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures -- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live -- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load -- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting - -### Key Configuration Areas - -#### PRD Configuration -- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions -- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true) -- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files -- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`) - -#### Architecture Configuration -- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded) -- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components -- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live - -#### Developer Files -- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task -- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures -- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations - -### Why It Matters - -1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure -2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace -3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMAD to match your team's process -4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration - -### Common Configurations - -**Legacy V3 Project**: -```yaml -prdVersion: v3 -prdSharded: false -architectureVersion: v3 -architectureSharded: false -``` - -**V4 Optimized Project**: -```yaml -prdVersion: v4 -prdSharded: true -prdShardedLocation: docs/prd -architectureVersion: v4 -architectureSharded: true -architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture -``` - -## Core Philosophy - -### Vibe CEO'ing - -You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to: - -- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives -- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality -- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents - -### Core Principles - -1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate. -2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs. -3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment. -4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process. -5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs. -6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs. -7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand. -8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges. - -### Key Workflow Principles - -1. **Agent Specialization**: Each agent has specific expertise and responsibilities -2. **Clean Handoffs**: Always start fresh when switching between agents -3. **Status Tracking**: Maintain story statuses (Draft ā†’ Approved ā†’ InProgress ā†’ Done) -4. **Iterative Development**: Complete one story before starting the next -5. **Documentation First**: Always start with solid PRD and architecture - -## Agent System - -### Core Development Team - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ----------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | -| `analyst` | Business Analyst | Market research, requirements gathering | Project planning, competitive analysis | -| `pm` | Product Manager | PRD creation, feature prioritization | Strategic planning, roadmaps | -| `architect` | Solution Architect | System design, technical architecture | Complex systems, scalability planning | -| `dev` | Developer | Code implementation, debugging | All development tasks | -| `qa` | QA Specialist | Test planning, quality assurance | Testing strategies, bug validation | -| `ux-expert` | UX Designer | UI/UX design, prototypes | User experience, interface design | -| `po` | Product Owner | Backlog management, story validation | Story refinement, acceptance criteria | -| `sm` | Scrum Master | Sprint planning, story creation | Project management, workflow | - -### Meta Agents - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | -| `bmad-orchestrator` | Team Coordinator | Multi-agent workflows, role switching | Complex multi-role tasks | -| `bmad-master` | Universal Expert | All capabilities without switching | Single-session comprehensive work | - -### Agent Interaction Commands - -#### IDE-Specific Syntax - -**Agent Loading by IDE**: -- **Claude Code**: `/agent-name` (e.g., `/bmad-master`) -- **Cursor**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) -- **Windsurf**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) -- **Roo Code**: Select mode from mode selector (e.g., `bmad-bmad-master`) -- **VS Code Copilot**: Open the Chat view (`āŒƒāŒ˜I` on Mac, `Ctrl+Alt+I` on Windows/Linux) and select **Agent** from the chat mode selector. - -**Chat Management Guidelines**: -- **Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf**: Start new chats when switching agents -- **Roo Code**: Switch modes within the same conversation - -**Common Task Commands**: -- `*help` - Show available commands -- `*status` - Show current context/progress -- `*exit` - Exit the agent mode -- `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd` - Shard PRD into manageable pieces -- `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture` - Shard architecture document -- `*create` - Run create-next-story task (SM agent) - -**In Web UI**: -```text -/pm create-doc prd -/architect review system design -/dev implement story 1.2 -/help - Show available commands -/switch agent-name - Change active agent (if orchestrator available) -``` - -## Team Configurations - -### Pre-Built Teams - -#### Team All -- **Includes**: All 10 agents + orchestrator -- **Use Case**: Complete projects requiring all roles -- **Bundle**: `team-all.txt` - -#### Team Fullstack -- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA, UX Expert -- **Use Case**: End-to-end web/mobile development -- **Bundle**: `team-fullstack.txt` - -#### Team No-UI -- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA (no UX Expert) -- **Use Case**: Backend services, APIs, system development -- **Bundle**: `team-no-ui.txt` - -## Core Architecture - -### System Overview - -The BMAD-Method is built around a modular architecture centered on the `bmad-core` directory, which serves as the brain of the entire system. This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). - -### Key Architectural Components - -#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) -- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) -- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies -- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use -- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context - -#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) -- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes -- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) -- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments - -#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) -- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types -- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development -- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions - -#### 4. Reusable Resources -- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories -- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" -- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review -- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences - -### Dual Environment Architecture - -#### IDE Environment - -- Users interact directly with agent markdown files -- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically -- Supports real-time file operations and project integration -- Optimized for development workflow execution - -#### Web UI Environment - -- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assest with an orchestrating agent -- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team -- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces -- Provides complete context in one package - -### Template Processing System - -BMAD employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: - -1. **Template Format** (`utils/template-format.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives -2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction -3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming - -**Template Features**: - -- **Self-contained**: Templates embed both output structure and processing instructions -- **Variable Substitution**: `{{placeholders}}` for dynamic content -- **AI Processing Directives**: `[[LLM: instructions]]` for AI-only processing -- **Interactive Refinement**: Built-in elicitation processes for quality improvement - -### Technical Preferences Integration - -The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: -- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects -- Eliminates repetitive technology specification -- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences -- Evolves over time with lessons learned - -### Build and Delivery Process - -The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: -1. Reading agent or team definition files -2. Recursively resolving all dependencies -3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators -4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces - -This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMAD powerful. - -## Complete Development Workflow - -### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** - -**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: -1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis - -**For All Projects**: -1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis -2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) -3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements -4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation -5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` - -#### Example Planning Prompts - -**For PRD Creation**: -```text -"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. -Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." -``` - -**For Architecture Design**: -```text -"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture -that can handle [specific requirements]." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE - -**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** - -- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project - -### IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): - - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Two methods to shard: - a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat - b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents - - Shards `docs/prd.md` ā†’ `docs/prd/` folder - - Shards `docs/architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Content**: - - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order - - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation - -**Resulting Folder Structure**: -- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections -- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections -- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories - -3. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `@sm` ā†’ `*create` - - SM executes create-next-story task - - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@dev` - - Agent asks which story to implement - - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time - - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Dev maintains File List of all changes - - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing - - **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@qa` ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM ā†’ Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. - -### Status Tracking Workflow - -Stories progress through defined statuses: -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Development -- Business analysis and market research -- Product requirements and feature definition -- System architecture and design -- Development execution -- Testing and deployment - -#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. - -**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: - -**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` -3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` - - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided - - Choose "single document" format for Web UI - - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas - - Creates one comprehensive markdown file - - Avoids bloating docs with unused code - -**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** -2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` - - More thorough but can create excessive documentation - -2. **Requirements Gathering**: - - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` - - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points - - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment - - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes - -3. **Architecture Planning**: - - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` - - **Integration Strategy**: How new features integrate with existing system - - **Migration Planning**: Gradual rollout and backwards compatibility - - **Risk Mitigation**: Addressing potential breaking changes - -**Brownfield-Specific Resources**: - -**Templates**: -- `brownfield-prd-tmpl.md`: Comprehensive enhancement planning with existing system analysis -- `brownfield-architecture-tmpl.md`: Integration-focused architecture for existing systems - -**Tasks**: -- `document-project`: Generates comprehensive documentation from existing codebase -- `brownfield-create-epic`: Creates single epic for focused enhancements (when full PRD is overkill) -- `brownfield-create-story`: Creates individual story for small, isolated changes - -**When to Use Each Approach**: - -**Full Brownfield Workflow** (Recommended for): -- Major feature additions -- System modernization -- Complex integrations -- Multiple related changes - -**Quick Epic/Story Creation** (Use when): -- Single, focused enhancement -- Isolated bug fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing system - -**Critical Success Factors**: -1. **Documentation First**: Always run `document-project` if docs are outdated/missing -2. **Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant code sections -3. **Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -**For detailed guide**: See `docs/working-in-the-brownfield.md` - -## Document Creation Best Practices - -### Required File Naming for Framework Integration - -- `docs/prd.md` - Product Requirements Document -- `docs/architecture.md` - System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter**: -- Agents automatically reference these files during development -- Sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Documents (PRD, Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` -4. **Switch to IDE**: Use IDE agents for development and smaller documents - -### Document Sharding - -Templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original PRD**: -```markdown -## Goals and Background Context -## Requirements -## User Interface Design Goals -## Success Metrics -``` - -**After Sharding**: -- `docs/prd/goals-and-background-context.md` -- `docs/prd/requirements.md` -- `docs/prd/user-interface-design-goals.md` -- `docs/prd/success-metrics.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic sharding. - -## Usage Patterns and Best Practices - -### Environment-Specific Usage - -**Web UI Best For**: -- Initial planning and documentation phases -- Cost-effective large document creation -- Agent consultation and brainstorming -- Multi-agent workflows with orchestrator - -**IDE Best For**: -- Active development and implementation -- File operations and project integration -- Story management and development cycles -- Code review and debugging - -### Quality Assurance - -- Use appropriate agents for specialized tasks -- Follow Agile ceremonies and review processes -- Maintain document consistency with PO agent -- Regular validation with checklists and templates - -### Performance Optimization - -- Use specific agents vs. `bmad-master` for focused tasks -- Choose appropriate team size for project needs -- Leverage technical preferences for consistency -- Regular context management and cache clearing - -## Success Tips - -- **Use Gemini for big picture planning** - The team-fullstack bundle provides collaborative expertise -- **Use bmad-master for document organization** - Sharding creates manageable chunks -- **Follow the SM ā†’ Dev cycle religiously** - This ensures systematic progress -- **Keep conversations focused** - One agent, one task per conversation -- **Review everything** - Always review and approve before marking complete - -## Contributing to BMAD-METHOD -

Initial Setup & Mode Selection - -- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** - - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. - - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. - - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `change-checklist` (e.g., `change-checklist`). -- **Establish Interaction Mode:** - - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: - - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the `change-checklist` section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." - - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." - - Request the user to select their preferred mode. - - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode (e.g., "Okay, we will proceed in Incremental mode."). This chosen mode will govern how subsequent steps in this task are executed. -- **Explain Process:** Briefly inform the user: "We will now use the `change-checklist` to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." - When asking multiple questions or presenting multiple points for user input at once, number them clearly (e.g., 1., 2a., 2b.) to make it easier for the user to provide specific responses. - -### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) - -- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the `change-checklist` (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). -- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): - - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. - - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. - - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. - - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. - - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. - -### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) - -- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): - - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). - - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: - - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. - - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. - - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). - - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. - - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). - - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. - - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. - -### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits - -- Synthesize the complete `change-checklist` analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the `change-checklist` (Proposal Components). -- The proposal must clearly present: - - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. - - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). -- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. - -### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps - -- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. -- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. -- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** - - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. - - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. - -## Output Deliverables - -- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: - - A summary of the `change-checklist` analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). - - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. -- **Implicit:** An annotated `change-checklist` (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. -==================== END: tasks#correct-course ==================== - -==================== START: tasks#brownfield-create-epic ==================== -# Create Brownfield Epic Task - -## Purpose - -Create a single epic for smaller brownfield enhancements that don't require the full PRD and Architecture documentation process.

Also, ask if there's a specific target audience they have in mind. Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current role's perspective, tailored to the specified audience if provided.]] - -1. Explain Reasoning (CoT Step-by-Step) - [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step thinking process, characteristic of your role, that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this content.]] - -2.

Analyze Logical Flow and Dependencies - [[LLM: From your role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical progression, internal consistency, and any relevant dependencies. Confirm if elements are presented in an effective order.]] - -4. Assess Alignment with Overall Goals - [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current content contributes to the stated overall goals of the document, interpreting this from your specific role's perspective and identifying any misalignments you perceive.]] - -5. Identify Potential Risks and Unforeseen Issues - [[LLM: Based on your role's expertise, brainstorm potential risks, overlooked edge cases, or unintended consequences related to the current content or proposal.]] - -6. Challenge from Critical Perspective (Self or Other Persona) - [[LLM: Adopt a critical perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another role or persona (e.g., 'as a customer', 'as [Another Persona Name]'), critique the content or play devil's advocate from that specified viewpoint. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your own current persona's viewpoint, arguing against the proposal or current content and highlighting weaknesses or counterarguments specific to your concerns. This can also randomly include YAGNI when appropriate, such as when trimming the scope of an MVP, the perspective might challenge the need for something to cut MVP scope.]] - -7. Explore Diverse Alternatives (ToT-Inspired) - [[LLM: From your role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches or solutions to the current topic. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2 distinct alternatives, detailing the pros, cons, and potential implications you foresee for each.]] - -8. Hindsight is 20/20: The 'If Only...' Reflection - [[LLM: In your current persona, imagine it's a retrospective for a project based on the current content. What's the one 'if only we had known/done X...' that your role would humorously or dramatically highlight, along with the imagined consequences?]] - -9. Proceed / No Further Actions - [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list.

The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments. - -### Key Features - -- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role -- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization -- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs -- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists -- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control - -### When to Use BMAD - -- **New Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end development -- **Existing Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions and enhancements -- **Team Collaboration**: Multiple roles working together -- **Quality Assurance**: Structured testing and validation -- **Documentation**: Professional PRDs, architecture docs, user stories - -## How BMAD Works - -### The Core Method - -BMAD transforms you into a "Vibe CEO" - directing a team of specialized AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how: - -1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide vision and decisions; agents handle implementation details -2. **Specialized Agents**: Each agent masters one role (PM, Developer, Architect, etc.) -3. **Structured Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from idea to deployed code -4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective - -### The Two-Phase Approach - -**Phase 1: Planning (Web UI - Cost Effective)** -- Use large context windows (Gemini's 1M tokens) -- Generate comprehensive documents (PRD, Architecture) -- Leverage multiple agents for brainstorming -- Create once, use throughout development - -**Phase 2: Development (IDE - Implementation)** -- Shard documents into manageable pieces -- Execute focused SM ā†’ Dev cycles -- One story at a time, sequential progress -- Real-time file operations and testing - -### The Development Loop - -```text -1. SM Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Creates next story from sharded docs -2. You ā†’ Review and approve story -3. Dev Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Implements approved story -4. QA Agent (New Chat) ā†’ Reviews and refactors code -5. You ā†’ Verify completion -6. Repeat until epic complete -``` - -### Why This Works - -- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance -- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality -- **Incremental Progress**: Small stories = manageable complexity -- **Human Oversight**: You validate each step = quality control -- **Document-Driven**: Specs guide everything = consistency - -## Getting Started - -### Quick Start Options - -#### Option 1: Web UI -**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately - -1. Navigate to `dist/teams/` -2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content -3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT -4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed" -5. Type `/help` to see available commands - -#### Option 2: IDE Integration -**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, VS Code Copilot users - -```bash -# Interactive installation (recommended) -npx bmad-method install -``` - -**Installation Steps**: -- Choose "Complete installation" -- Select your IDE from supported options: - - **Cursor**: Native AI integration - - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE - - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities - - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features - - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support - - **VS Code Copilot**: AI-powered coding assistant - -**Note for VS Code Users**: BMAD-METHOD assumes when you mention "VS Code" that you're using it with an AI-powered extension like GitHub Copilot, Cline, or Roo. Standard VS Code without AI capabilities cannot run BMAD agents. The installer includes built-in support for Cline and Roo. - -**Verify Installation**: -- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents -- IDE-specific integration files created -- All agent commands/rules/modes available - -**Remember**: At its core, BMAD-METHOD is about mastering and harnessing prompt engineering. Any IDE with AI agent support can use BMAD - the framework provides the structured prompts and workflows that make AI development effective - -### Environment Selection Guide - -**Use Web UI for**: -- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture) -- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini) -- Brainstorming and analysis phases -- Multi-agent consultation and planning - -**Use IDE for**: -- Active development and coding -- File operations and project integration -- Document sharding and story management -- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles) - -**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development. - -### IDE-Only Workflow Considerations - -**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs: - -**Pros of IDE-Only**: -- Single environment workflow -- Direct file operations from start -- No copy/paste between environments -- Immediate project integration - -**Cons of IDE-Only**: -- Higher token costs for large document creation -- Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model) -- May hit limits during planning phases -- Less cost-effective for brainstorming - -**Using Web Agents in IDE**: -- **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts -- **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context -- **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization - -**About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**: -- **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT... -- **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results -- **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs -- **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but... - -**CRITICAL RULE for Development**: -- **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator -- **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator -- **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow -- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM ā†’ Dev for implementation - -**Best Practice for IDE-Only**: -1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master) -2. Create documents directly in project -3. Shard immediately after creation -4. **MUST switch to SM agent** for story creation -5. **MUST switch to Dev agent** for implementation -6. Keep planning and coding in separate chat sessions - -## Core Configuration (core-config.yaml) - -**New in V4**: The `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility. - -### What is core-config.yaml? - -This configuration file acts as a map for BMAD agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables: - -- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures -- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live -- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load -- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting - -### Key Configuration Areas - -#### PRD Configuration -- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions -- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true) -- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files -- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`) - -#### Architecture Configuration -- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded) -- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components -- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live - -#### Developer Files -- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task -- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures -- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations - -### Why It Matters - -1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure -2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace -3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMAD to match your team's process -4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration - -### Common Configurations - -**Legacy V3 Project**: -```yaml -prdVersion: v3 -prdSharded: false -architectureVersion: v3 -architectureSharded: false -``` - -**V4 Optimized Project**: -```yaml -prdVersion: v4 -prdSharded: true -prdShardedLocation: docs/prd -architectureVersion: v4 -architectureSharded: true -architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture -``` - -## Core Philosophy - -### Vibe CEO'ing - -You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to: - -- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives -- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality -- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents - -### Core Principles - -1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate. -2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs. -3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment. -4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process. -5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs. -6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs. -7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand. -8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges. - -### Key Workflow Principles - -1. **Agent Specialization**: Each agent has specific expertise and responsibilities -2. **Clean Handoffs**: Always start fresh when switching between agents -3. **Status Tracking**: Maintain story statuses (Draft ā†’ Approved ā†’ InProgress ā†’ Done) -4. **Iterative Development**: Complete one story before starting the next -5. **Documentation First**: Always start with solid PRD and architecture - -## Agent System - -### Core Development Team - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ----------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | -| `analyst` | Business Analyst | Market research, requirements gathering | Project planning, competitive analysis | -| `pm` | Product Manager | PRD creation, feature prioritization | Strategic planning, roadmaps | -| `architect` | Solution Architect | System design, technical architecture | Complex systems, scalability planning | -| `dev` | Developer | Code implementation, debugging | All development tasks | -| `qa` | QA Specialist | Test planning, quality assurance | Testing strategies, bug validation | -| `ux-expert` | UX Designer | UI/UX design, prototypes | User experience, interface design | -| `po` | Product Owner | Backlog management, story validation | Story refinement, acceptance criteria | -| `sm` | Scrum Master | Sprint planning, story creation | Project management, workflow | - -### Meta Agents - -| Agent | Role | Primary Functions | When to Use | -| ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | -| `bmad-orchestrator` | Team Coordinator | Multi-agent workflows, role switching | Complex multi-role tasks | -| `bmad-master` | Universal Expert | All capabilities without switching | Single-session comprehensive work | - -### Agent Interaction Commands - -#### IDE-Specific Syntax - -**Agent Loading by IDE**: -- **Claude Code**: `/agent-name` (e.g., `/bmad-master`) -- **Cursor**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) -- **Windsurf**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`) -- **Roo Code**: Select mode from mode selector (e.g., `bmad-bmad-master`) -- **VS Code Copilot**: Open the Chat view (`āŒƒāŒ˜I` on Mac, `Ctrl+Alt+I` on Windows/Linux) and select **Agent** from the chat mode selector. - -**Chat Management Guidelines**: -- **Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf**: Start new chats when switching agents -- **Roo Code**: Switch modes within the same conversation - -**Common Task Commands**: -- `*help` - Show available commands -- `*status` - Show current context/progress -- `*exit` - Exit the agent mode -- `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd` - Shard PRD into manageable pieces -- `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture` - Shard architecture document -- `*create` - Run create-next-story task (SM agent) - -**In Web UI**: -```text -/pm create-doc prd -/architect review system design -/dev implement story 1.2 -/help - Show available commands -/switch agent-name - Change active agent (if orchestrator available) -``` - -## Team Configurations - -### Pre-Built Teams - -#### Team All -- **Includes**: All 10 agents + orchestrator -- **Use Case**: Complete projects requiring all roles -- **Bundle**: `team-all.txt` - -#### Team Fullstack -- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA, UX Expert -- **Use Case**: End-to-end web/mobile development -- **Bundle**: `team-fullstack.txt` - -#### Team No-UI -- **Includes**: PM, Architect, Developer, QA (no UX Expert) -- **Use Case**: Backend services, APIs, system development -- **Bundle**: `team-no-ui.txt` - -## Core Architecture - -### System Overview - -The BMAD-Method is built around a modular architecture centered on the `bmad-core` directory, which serves as the brain of the entire system. This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini). - -### Key Architectural Components - -#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`) -- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.) -- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies -- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use -- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context - -#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`) -- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes -- **Examples**: `team-all.yaml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yaml` (full-stack development) -- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments - -#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`) -- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types -- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development -- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions - -#### 4. Reusable Resources -- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories -- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story" -- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review -- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences - -### Dual Environment Architecture - -#### IDE Environment - -- Users interact directly with agent markdown files -- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically -- Supports real-time file operations and project integration -- Optimized for development workflow execution - -#### Web UI Environment - -- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assest with an orchestrating agent -- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team -- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces -- Provides complete context in one package - -### Template Processing System - -BMAD employs a sophisticated template system with three key components: - -1. **Template Format** (`utils/template-format.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives -2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction -3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming - -**Template Features**: - -- **Self-contained**: Templates embed both output structure and processing instructions -- **Variable Substitution**: `{{placeholders}}` for dynamic content -- **AI Processing Directives**: `[[LLM: instructions]]` for AI-only processing -- **Interactive Refinement**: Built-in elicitation processes for quality improvement - -### Technical Preferences Integration - -The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that: -- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects -- Eliminates repetitive technology specification -- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences -- Evolves over time with lessons learned - -### Build and Delivery Process - -The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by: -1. Reading agent or team definition files -2. Recursively resolving all dependencies -3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators -4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces - -This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMAD powerful. - -## Complete Development Workflow - -### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!) - -**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:** - -**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**: -1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis - -**For All Projects**: -1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis -2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user) -3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements -4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation -5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency -6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` - -#### Example Planning Prompts - -**For PRD Creation**: -```text -"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose]. -Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD." -``` - -**For Architecture Design**: -```text -"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture -that can handle [specific requirements]." -``` - -### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE - -**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:** - -- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding -- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks -- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project - -### IDE Development Workflow - -**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder - -1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): - - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development - - Two methods to shard: - a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat - b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents - - Shards `docs/prd.md` ā†’ `docs/prd/` folder - - Shards `docs/architecture.md` ā†’ `docs/architecture/` folder - - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful! - -2. **Verify Sharded Content**: - - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order - - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference - - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation - -**Resulting Folder Structure**: -- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections -- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections -- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories - -3. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time): - - **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**: - - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows - - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation - - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work** - - **Step 1 - Story Creation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ Select powerful model ā†’ `@sm` ā†’ `*create` - - SM executes create-next-story task - - Review generated story in `docs/stories/` - - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved" - - **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@dev` - - Agent asks which story to implement - - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time - - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion - - Dev maintains File List of all changes - - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing - - **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**: - - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** ā†’ `@qa` ā†’ execute review-story task - - QA performs senior developer code review - - QA can refactor and improve code directly - - QA appends results to story's QA Results section - - If approved: Status ā†’ "Done" - - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev - - **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM ā†’ Dev ā†’ QA cycle until all epic stories complete - -**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete. - -### Status Tracking Workflow - -Stories progress through defined statuses: -- **Draft** ā†’ **Approved** ā†’ **InProgress** ā†’ **Done** - -Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding. - -### Workflow Types - -#### Greenfield Development -- Business analysis and market research -- Product requirements and feature definition -- System architecture and design -- Development execution -- Testing and deployment - -#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects) - -**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints. - -**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**: - -**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**: -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip) -2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` -3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` - - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided - - Choose "single document" format for Web UI - - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas - - Creates one comprehensive markdown file - - Avoids bloating docs with unused code - -**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**: -1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** -2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` ā†’ `*document-project` -3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` ā†’ `*create-doc brownfield-prd` - - More thorough but can create excessive documentation - -2. **Requirements Gathering**: - - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl` - - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points - - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment - - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes - -3. **Architecture Planning**: - - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl` - - **Integration Strategy**: How new features integrate with existing system - - **Migration Planning**: Gradual rollout and backwards compatibility - - **Risk Mitigation**: Addressing potential breaking changes - -**Brownfield-Specific Resources**: - -**Templates**: -- `brownfield-prd-tmpl.md`: Comprehensive enhancement planning with existing system analysis -- `brownfield-architecture-tmpl.md`: Integration-focused architecture for existing systems - -**Tasks**: -- `document-project`: Generates comprehensive documentation from existing codebase -- `brownfield-create-epic`: Creates single epic for focused enhancements (when full PRD is overkill) -- `brownfield-create-story`: Creates individual story for small, isolated changes - -**When to Use Each Approach**: - -**Full Brownfield Workflow** (Recommended for): -- Major feature additions -- System modernization -- Complex integrations -- Multiple related changes - -**Quick Epic/Story Creation** (Use when): -- Single, focused enhancement -- Isolated bug fixes -- Small feature additions -- Well-documented existing system - -**Critical Success Factors**: -1. **Documentation First**: Always run `document-project` if docs are outdated/missing -2. **Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant code sections -3. **Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes -4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and testing - -**For detailed guide**: See `docs/working-in-the-brownfield.md` - -## Document Creation Best Practices - -### Required File Naming for Framework Integration - -- `docs/prd.md` - Product Requirements Document -- `docs/architecture.md` - System Architecture Document - -**Why These Names Matter**: -- Agents automatically reference these files during development -- Sharding tasks expect these specific filenames -- Workflow automation depends on standard naming - -### Cost-Effective Document Creation Workflow - -**Recommended for Large Documents (PRD, Architecture):** - -1. **Use Web UI**: Create documents in web interface for cost efficiency -2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your project -3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` -4. **Switch to IDE**: Use IDE agents for development and smaller documents - -### Document Sharding - -Templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded: - -**Original PRD**: -```markdown -## Goals and Background Context -## Requirements -## User Interface Design Goals -## Success Metrics -``` - -**After Sharding**: -- `docs/prd/goals-and-background-context.md` -- `docs/prd/requirements.md` -- `docs/prd/user-interface-design-goals.md` -- `docs/prd/success-metrics.md` - -Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic sharding. - -## Usage Patterns and Best Practices - -### Environment-Specific Usage - -**Web UI Best For**: -- Initial planning and documentation phases -- Cost-effective large document creation -- Agent consultation and brainstorming -- Multi-agent workflows with orchestrator - -**IDE Best For**: -- Active development and implementation -- File operations and project integration -- Story management and development cycles -- Code review and debugging - -### Quality Assurance - -- Use appropriate agents for specialized tasks -- Follow Agile ceremonies and review processes -- Maintain document consistency with PO agent -- Regular validation with checklists and templates - -### Performance Optimization - -- Use specific agents vs. `bmad-master` for focused tasks -- Choose appropriate team size for project needs -- Leverage technical preferences for consistency -- Regular context management and cache clearing - -## Success Tips - -- **Use Gemini for big picture planning** - The team-fullstack bundle provides collaborative expertise -- **Use bmad-master for document organization** - Sharding creates manageable chunks -- **Follow the SM ā†’ Dev cycle religiously** - This ensures systematic progress -- **Keep conversations focused** - One agent, one task per conversation -- **Review everything** - Always review and approve before marking complete - -## Contributing to BMAD-METHOD -

This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase. - -## Task Instructions - -### 1. Initial Project Analysis - -[[LLM: First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only. - -**IF PRD EXISTS**: - -- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned -- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected -- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas -- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean - -**IF NO PRD EXISTS**: -Ask the user: - -"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options: - -1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas. - -2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share? - -3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example: - - 'Adding payment processing to the user service' - - 'Refactoring the authentication module' - - 'Integrating with a new third-party API' - -4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects) - -Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer." - -Based on their response: - -- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation -- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below - -Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to: - -1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization -2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies -3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands -4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation -5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches - -Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs: - -- What is the primary purpose of this project? -- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand? -- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing) -- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer? -- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team) -- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation) - ]] - -### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis - -[[LLM: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase: - -1. **Explore Key Areas**: - - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers) - - Configuration files and environment setup - - Package dependencies and versions - - Build and deployment configurations - - Test suites and coverage - -2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**: - - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?" - - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?" - - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?" - - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?" - - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?" - -3. **Map the Reality**: - - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices) - - Find where key business logic lives - - Locate integration points and external dependencies - - Document workarounds and technical debt - - Note areas that differ from standard patterns - -**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement]] - -### 3.

Initial Setup & Mode Selection - -- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:** - - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated. - - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact. - - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `change-checklist` (e.g., `change-checklist`). -- **Establish Interaction Mode:** - - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task: - - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the `change-checklist` section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement." - - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals." - - Request the user to select their preferred mode. - - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode (e.g., "Okay, we will proceed in Incremental mode."). This chosen mode will govern how subsequent steps in this task are executed. -- **Explain Process:** Briefly inform the user: "We will now use the `change-checklist` to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode." - When asking multiple questions or presenting multiple points for user input at once, number them clearly (e.g., 1., 2a., 2b.) to make it easier for the user to provide specific responses. - -### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode) - -- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the `change-checklist` (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation). -- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode): - - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user. - - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact. - - Discuss your findings for each item with the user. - - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions. - - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist. - -### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched) - -- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect): - - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams). - - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include: - - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority. - - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics. - - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram). - - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents. - - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision). - - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted. - - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step. - -### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits - -- Synthesize the complete `change-checklist` analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the `change-checklist` (Proposal Components). -- The proposal must clearly present: - - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward. - - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]"). -- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user. - -### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps - -- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it. -- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user. -- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:** - - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate. - - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort. - -## Output Deliverables - -- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain: - - A summary of the `change-checklist` analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path). - - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts. -- **Implicit:** An annotated `change-checklist` (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process. -==================== END: tasks#correct-course ==================== - -==================== START: tasks#brownfield-create-epic ==================== -# Create Brownfield Epic Task - -## Purpose - -Create a single epic for smaller brownfield enhancements that don't require the full PRD and Architecture documentation process.

For example, an API completed can deliver value even if a UI is not complete and planned for a separate epic. -- Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things. -- Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories.
