+### Idea: Add search functionality to customer dashboard
+
+**P**roblem:  
+Customers can't find their past orders quickly. They have to scroll through pages of orders to find what they're looking for, leading to 15+ support tickets per week.
+
+**A**udience:  
+All 5,000+ active customers are affected. Support team spends ~10 hours/week helping customers find orders.
+
+**S**olution:  
+Add a search bar that filters by order number, date range, and product name. Success = 50% reduction in order-finding support tickets within 2 weeks of launch.

+
+## Tips for Success
+
+1. **Be specific** - Vague problems lead to vague solutions
+2. **Quantify when possible** - Numbers help us prioritize (e.g., "20 customers asked for this" vs "customers want this")
+3. **One idea per submission** - If you have multiple ideas, submit multiple templates
+4. **Success metrics matter** - How will we know this worked?
+5. **Honest sizing** - Better to overestimate than underestimate

+
+**Release: September 28, 2025**
+
+Initial alpha release of a major rewrite and overhaul improvement of past versions.

The workflow now scales from small enhancements to massive undertakings across multiple services or architectures, supporting a new vast array of project type, including a full subclass of game development specifics.
+- **BoMB**: The BMad Builder (AKA BoMB) now is able to fully automate creation and conversion of expansion packs from v5 to modules in v5 along with the net new ideation and brainstorming through implementation and testing of net new Modules, Workflows (were tasks and templates), Module Agents, and Standalone Personal Agents
+- **CIS**: The Creative Intelligence Suite (AKA CIS)
+
+## [v5.0.0] - SKIPPED
+
+**Note**: Version 5.0.0 was skipped due to NPX registry issues that corrupted the version. Development continues with v6.0.0-alpha.0.

+
+- **PR Validation Workflow**: Automated contribution checks
+- **Fork-Friendly CI/CD**: Opt-in mechanism for forks
+- **Code Formatting**: Prettier integration with pre-commit hooks
+- **Update Checker**: `npx bmad-method update-check` command
+
+### Flattener Improvements

+
+The BMad Method is the flagship bmad module for agile AI-driven software development. It emphasizes thorough planning and solid architectural foundations to provide detailed context for developer agents, mirroring real-world agile best practices.
+
+### Core Principles
+
+**Partnership Over Automation** - AI agents act as expert coaches, mentors, and collaborators who amplify human capability rather than replace it.
+
+**Bidirectional Guidance** - Agents guide users through structured workflows while users push agents with advanced prompting. Both sides actively work to extract better information from each other.
+
+**Systems of Workflows** - BMad Core builds comprehensive systems of guided workflows with specialized agent teams for any domain.
+
+**Tool-Agnostic Foundation** - BMad Core remains tool-agnostic, providing stable, extensible groundwork that adapts to any domain.
+
+## What Makes a Good Contribution?

+
+## Pull Request Guidelines
+
+### Which Branch?
+
+**Submit to `next` branch** (most contributions):
+
+- ✨ New features or agents
+- 🎨 Enhancements to existing features
+- 📚 Documentation updates
+- ♻️ Code refactoring
+- ⚡ Performance improvements
+- 🧪 New tests
+- 🎁 New bmad modules
+
+**Submit to `main` branch** (critical only):
+
+- 🚨 Critical bug fixes that break basic functionality
+- 🔒 Security patches
+- 📚 Fixing dangerously incorrect documentation
+- 🐛 Bugs preventing installation or basic usage
+
+**When in doubt, submit to `next`**. We'd rather test changes thoroughly before they hit stable.
+
+### PR Size Guidelines
+
+- **Ideal PR size**: 200-400 lines of code changes
+- **Maximum PR size**: 800 lines (excluding generated files)
+- **One feature/fix per PR**: Each PR should address a single issue or add one feature
+- **If your change is larger**: Break it into multiple smaller PRs that can be reviewed independently
+- **Related changes**: Even related changes should be separate PRs if they deliver independent value
+
+### Breaking Down Large PRs
+
+If your change exceeds 800 lines, use this checklist to split it:
+
+- [ ] Can I separate the refactoring from the feature implementation?
+- [ ] Can I introduce the new API/interface in one PR and implementation in another?
+- [ ] Can I split by file or module?
+- [ ] Can I create a base PR with shared utilities first?
+- [ ] Can I separate test additions from implementation?
+- [ ] Even if changes are related, can they deliver value independently?
+- [ ] Can these changes be merged in any order without breaking things?
+
+Example breakdown:
+
+1. PR #1: Add utility functions and types (100 lines)
+2. PR #2: Refactor existing code to use utilities (200 lines)
+3. PR #3: Implement new feature using refactored code (300 lines)
+4. PR #4: Add comprehensive tests (200 lines)
+
+**Note**: PRs #1 and #4 could be submitted simultaneously since they deliver independent value.
+
+### Pull Request Process
+
+#### New to Pull Requests?
+
+If you're new to GitHub or pull requests, here's a quick guide:
+
+1. **Fork the repository** - Click the "Fork" button on GitHub to create your own copy
+2. **Clone your fork** - `git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/bmad-method.git`
+3. **Create a new branch** - Never work on `main` directly!
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b fix/description
+   # or
+   git checkout -b feature/description
+   ```
+4. **Make your changes** - Edit files, keeping changes small and focused
+5. **Commit your changes** - Use clear, descriptive commit messages
+   ```bash
+   git add .
+   git commit -m "fix: correct typo in README"
+   ```
+6. **Push to your fork** - `git push origin fix/description`
+7. **Create the Pull Request** - Go to your fork on GitHub and click "Compare & pull request"
+
+### PR Description Template
+
+Keep your PR description concise and focused. Use this template:
+
+```markdown
+## What
+
+[1-2 sentences describing WHAT changed]
+
+## Why
+
+[1-2 sentences explaining WHY this change is needed]
+Fixes #[issue number] (if applicable)
+
+## How
+
+## [2-3 bullets listing HOW you implemented it]
+
+-
+-
+
+## Testing
+
+[1-2 sentences on how you tested this]
+```
+
+**Maximum PR description length: 200 words** (excluding code examples if needed)
+
+### Good vs Bad PR Descriptions
+
+❌ **Bad Example:**
+
+> This revolutionary PR introduces a paradigm-shifting enhancement to the system's architecture by implementing a state-of-the-art solution that leverages cutting-edge methodologies to optimize performance metrics...
+
+✅ **Good Example:**
+
+> **What:** Added validation for agent dependency resolution
+> **Why:** Build was failing silently when agents had circular dependencies
+> **How:**
+>
+> - Added cycle detection in dependency-resolver.js
+> - Throws clear error with dependency chain
+>   **Testing:** Tested with circular deps between 3 agents
+
+### Commit Message Convention
+
+Use conventional commits format:
+
+- `feat:` New feature
+- `fix:` Bug fix
+- `docs:` Documentation only
+- `refactor:` Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
+- `test:` Adding missing tests
+- `chore:` Changes to build process or auxiliary tools
+
+Keep commit messages under 72 characters.
+
+### Atomic Commits
+
+Each commit should represent one logical change:
+
+- **Do:** One bug fix per commit
+- **Do:** One feature addition per commit
+- **Don't:** Mix refactoring with bug fixes
+- **Don't:** Combine unrelated changes
+
+## What Makes a Good Pull Request?
+
+✅ **Good PRs:**
+
+- Change one thing at a time
+- Have clear, descriptive titles
+- Explain what and why in the description
+- Include only the files that need to change
+- Reference related issue numbers
+
+❌ **Avoid:**
+
+- Changing formatting of entire files
+- Multiple unrelated changes in one PR
+- Copying your entire project/repo into the PR
+- Changes without explanation
+- Working directly on `main` branch
+
+## Common Mistakes to Avoid
+
+1. **Don't reformat entire files** - only change what's necessary
+2. **Don't include unrelated changes** - stick to one fix/feature per PR
+3. **Don't paste code in issues** - create a proper PR instead
+4. **Don't submit your whole project** - contribute specific improvements
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Follow the existing code style and conventions
+- Write clear comments for complex logic
+- Keep dev agents lean - they need context for coding, not documentation
+- Web/planning agents can be larger with more complex tasks
+- Everything is natural language (markdown) - no code in core framework
+- Use bmad modules for domain-specific features

-# BMad Method V1
+# BMad CORE v6 Alpha
 
-The original version was a simple tech demo of showing how different custom agile personas could be used to build out the artifacts to have AI Agents plan and execute on building complex applications from scratch, with an emphasis on planning enough for an MVP to while filling in enough details to keep developer agents on the rails.

-Its simplicity was amazing, but it did not include a lot of customization - and using this in the web was more of an after thought that came later with V2. It was possible but complicated and not clearly communicated with V1.
+## 🚀 Critical: Understanding BMad Method v6a Workflow
 
-This initial version also had each custom mode prompt hard coded to the template that would all be part of the agent custom mode. This would not have worked well with many IDEs, and was very rigid in scope and purpose.
+**IMPORTANT: Before using this framework, you MUST read the [BMM v6 Workflows Guide](./src/modules/bmm/workflows/README.md).** This document is fundamental to understanding how to use v6 of the BMad Method and explains the revolutionary v6a workflow system with its four phases: Analysis, Planning, Solutioning, and Implementation.

+
+## The Universal Human-AI Collaboration Platform
+
+📋 **[View v6 Alpha Open Items & Roadmap](./v6-open-items.md)** - Track what's being worked on and what's coming next!
+
+### ⚠️ Important Alpha Notes
+
+**Note 0 - Frequent Updates:** Updates to the branch will be frequent. When pulling new updates, it's best to delete your node_modules folder and run `npm install` to ensure you have the latest package dependencies.
+
+**Note 1 - Alpha Stability:** ALPHA is potentially an unstable release that could drastically change. While we hope that isn't the case, your testing during this time is much appreciated. Please help us out by filing issues or reaching out in Discord to discuss.
+
+**Note 2 - Work in Progress:** ALPHA is not complete - there are still many small and big features, polish, doc improvements, and more agents and workflows coming ahead of the beta release!
+
+**Note 3 - IDE Required:** ALPHA Web Bundles and Agents are not fully working yet - you will need to use a good quality IDE to test many features, especially with the BMad Method module. However, the new agent builder and standalone agent feature can work great with weaker models - this will still evolve over the coming weeks.
+
+**Note 4 - Contributing:** If you would like to contribute a PR, make sure you are creating your PR against the Alpha Branch and not Main.
+
+## Alpha Installation and Testing
+
+**Prerequisites**: [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20+ required
+
+### Option A
+
+Thank you Lum for the suggestion - here is a one-shot instruction to clone just the alpha branch and get started:
+
+`git clone --branch v6-alpha --single-branch https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD` and then cd into this directory and run `npm install`.
+
+### Option B
+
+Here are the more detailed step-by-step instructions:
+
+Clone the repo with either:
+
+- `gh repo clone bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD`
+- `git clone https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD.git`
+- `git@github.com:bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD.git`
+  and then cd into the BMAD-METHOD folder.
+
+  You will then need to change to the branch as that will have cloned main, so type:
+  - `git checkout v6-alpha`
+  - type `git status` and you should see:
+    `On branch v6-alpha. Your branch is up to date with 'origin/v6-alpha'.`
+
+### Node Modules install
+
+Now you must install the node_modules with `npm install` - once complete, you should see you have a `node_modules` folder at the root of your project. (BMAD-METHOD/node_modules)
+
+### Install to your new or existing project folder
+
+Now you can run `npm run install:bmad` and follow the installer questions.
+
+NOTE: One of the first questions will ask for a destination - do not accept the default, you want to enter the full path to a new or existing folder of where your project is or will be. If you choose a net new folder, you will have to confirm you want the installer to create the directory for you.
+
+The Core Module will always be installed. The default initial module selection will be BMM for all the core BMad Method functionality and flow from brainstorming through software development.
+
+**Note on installation:** All installs now go to a single folder called `bmad` instead of multiple folders. When you install a module, you may still see folders other than the one you selected in the destination/bmad folder.
+
+This is intentional and not a bug - it will copy over to those other folders only the minimum that is needed because it is shared across the modules. For example, during Alpha to test this feature, BMM relies on the brainstorming feature of the CIS and some items from CORE - so even if you only select BMM, you will still see bmad/core and bmad/cis along with bmad/bmm.
+
+## What is the new BMad Core
+
+BMad-CORE (Collaboration Optimized Reflection Engine) is a framework that brings out the best in you through AI agents designed to enhance human thinking rather than replace it.
+
+Unlike traditional AI tools that do the work for you, BMad-CORE's specialized agents guide you through the facilitation of optimized collaborative reflective workflows to unlock your full potential across any domain. This magic powers the BMad Method, which is just one of the many modules that exist or are coming soon.
+
+## What Makes BMad-Core Different
+
+**Traditional AI**: Does the thinking for you, providing average, bland answers and solutions
+**BMad-CORE**: Brings out the best thinking in you and the AI through guided collaboration, elicitation, and facilitation
+
+### Core Philosophy: Human Amplification, Not Replacement
+
+BMad-Core's AI agents act as expert coaches, mentors, and collaborators who:
+
+- Ask the right questions to stimulate your thinking
+- Provide structured frameworks for complex problems
+- Guide you through reflective processes to discover insights
+- Help you develop mastery in your chosen domains
+- Amplify your natural abilities rather than substituting for them
+
+## The Collaboration Optimized Reflection Engine
+
+At the heart of BMad-Core lies the **C.O.R.E.** system:
+
+- **Collaboration**: Human-AI partnership where both contribute unique strengths
+- **Optimized**: The collaborative process has been refined for maximum effectiveness
+- **Reflection**: Guided thinking that helps you discover better solutions and insights
+- **Engine**: The powerful framework that orchestrates specialized agents and workflows
+
+## Universal Domain Coverage Through Modules
+
+BMad-CORE works in ANY domain through specialized modules (previously called expansion packs)!
+
+### Available Modules with Alpha Release
+
+- **BMad Core (core)**: Included and used to power every current and future module; includes a master orchestrator for the local environment and one for the web bundles used with ChatGPT or Gemini Gems, for example.
+
+- **[BMad Method (bmm)](./src/modules/bmm/README.md)**: Agile AI-driven software development - the classic that started it all and is still the best - but with v6, massively improved thanks to a rebuild from the ground up built on the new powerful BMad-CORE engine. The BMad Method has also been expanded to use a new "Scale Adaptive Workflow Engine"™. **[See BMM Documentation](./src/modules/bmm/README.md)**
+
+- **[BMad BoMB (bmb)](./src/modules/bmb/README.md)**: The BMad Builder is your Custom Agent, Workflow, and Module authoring tool - it's now easier than ever to customize existing modules or create whatever you can imagine as a standalone module. **[See BMB Documentation](./src/modules/bmb/README.md)**
+
+- **Creative Intelligence Suite (cis)**: Unlock innovation, problem-solving, and creative thinking! Brainstorming that was part of the BMad Method in the past is now part of this standalone module along with other workflows. The power of BMad modules still allows modules to borrow from each other - so the CIS, while standalone, also powers the brainstorming abilities for certain agents within the BMad Method!
+
+## What's New in V6-ALPHA
+
+Stability, customizability, installation Q&A, massive prompt improvements.
+
+Everything has been rewritten from the ground up with best practices and advances learned over previous versions, standardizing on prompt format techniques. There is much more core usage of XML or XML-type tags within markdown, with many conventions and standards that drastically increase agent adherence.
+
+**Customizability** is a key theme of this new version. All agents are now customizable by modifying a file under the installation bmad/\_cfg/agents. Every agent installed will generate an agent file that you can customize.
+
+The nice thing about this is when agents change or update in future versions, your customizations in these sidecar files will never be lost! You can change the name, their personas, how they talk, what they call you, and most exciting - what language they communicate in!
+
+The **BMad installer** is 100% new from the ground up. Along the way you will add:
+
+- Your name (what the agents will call you and how you'll author documents)
+- What language you want the agents to communicate in
+- Module-specific customization options
+
+When you install, a consolidated agent party is created so now when you use party-mode in the IDE, it is super efficient for the agent running the party to simulate all installed agents. Post alpha release, this will manifest itself in many interesting ways in time for beta - but for now, have fun with party mode and epic sprint retrospectives!
+
+Speaking of installation - everything will now install to a single core bmad folder. No more separate root folders for every module! Instead, all will be contained within bmad/.
+
+All IDE selections now support the option to add special install functionality per module.
+
+For example, with the alpha release, if you select the BMad Method and Claude Code, you will have an option to install pre-created Claude sub-agents. Not only do they get installed, but certain workflows will have injected into their instructions key indicators to the agent when to activate the sub-agents, removing some non-determinism.
+
+The sub-agent experience is still undergoing some work, so install them if you choose, and remove them if they become a pain.
+
+When you read about the BoMB below, it will link to more information about various features in this new evolution of BMad Code. One of the exciting features is the new agent types - there are 3 now! The most exciting are the new standalone tiny agents that you can easily generate and deploy free from any module - specialized for your exact needs.
+
+### BMad Method (BMM)
+
+📚 **[Full BMM Documentation](./src/modules/bmm/README.md)** | **[v6 Workflows Guide](./src/modules/bmm/workflows/README.md)**
+
+The BMad Method is significantly transforming and yet more powerful than ever. **Scale Adaptive** is a new term that means when you start the workflow to create a PRD or a GDD (or a simple tech-spec in the case of simple tasks), you will first answer some questions about the scope of the project, new vs. existing codebase and its state, and other questions. This will trigger a leveling of the effort from 0-4, and based on this scale adaptation, it will guide the workflow in different directions.
+
+Right now, this is still a bit alpha feeling and disjointed, but before beta it will be tied together through all four workflow phases with a potential single orchestration if you choose - or you can still jump right in, especially for simple tasks that just need a simple tech-spec and then right off to development.
+
+To test and experience this now, here is the new main flow for BMM v6 alpha:
+
+(Docs will be all linked in soon with new user guide and workflow diagrams coming this week)
+
+**NOTE:** Game Development expansion packs are all being rolled into the official BMad Method module - along with any more game engine platforms being added. Additionally, game development planning for the GDD is not only scale adaptive, but also adapts to the type of game you are making - so you can plan all that is needed for your dream game!
+
+#### **PHASE 1 - Analysis**
+
+**Analyst:**
+
+- `brainstorm-project`
+- `research` (market research, deep research, deep research prompt generation)
+- `product-brief`
+
+**Game Designer (Optional):**
+
+- `brainstorm-game`
+- `game-brief`
+- `research`
+
+---
+
+#### **PHASE 2 - Planning**
+
+**PM:**
+
+- `plan-project`
+
+**Game Designer:**
+
+- `plan-game` (calls the same plan-project workflow, but input docs or your answers should drive it towards GDD)
+
+---
+
+#### **PHASE 3 - Solutioning**
+
+**Architect or Game Architect:**
+
+Just like the scale-adjusted planning, architecture is the same. No more document sharding though!
+
+Now in the IDE you create an architecture that adapts to the type of project you are working on - based on the inputs from your PRD, it will adapt the sections it includes to your project type. No longer is the architecture biased just towards full stack or back-end APIs. There are many more options now, from embedded hardware to mobile to many other options - with many more coming with beta.
+
+- `solution-architecture`
+
+> **Note:** Testing, DevOps, or security concerns beyond the basics are generally not included in the architecture. If it is more complicated, especially for complex massive undertakings, you will be suggested to pull in specific agents to help with those areas. _(Not released with alpha.0, coming soon)_
+
+Once the full architecture is complete, you can still use the PO to run the checklist to validate the epics and stories are still correct - although the architect should also be keeping them updated as needed (needs some tuning during alpha). Once done, then it's time to create the tech spec for your first epic.
+
+- `tech-spec`
+
+The tech spec pulls all technical information from all planning thus far, along with any further research needed from the web to produce an **Epic Tech Spec** - each epic will have one. This is going to make the SM even more capable of finding the info it needs for each story when we get to phase 4!
+
+---
+
+#### **PHASE 4 - Implementation**
+
+And now here we are at phase 4 - where we, just like in BMad Method of yore, use the SM and the Dev Agent. No more QA agent here though; the dev now has a dev task and also a senior dev agent review task.
+
+**Scrum Master (SM) Tasks:**
+
+Before the dev starts, the SM will:
+
+1. `create-story`
+2. `story-context` _(NEW!)_
+
+**Story-context** is a game-changing new feature beyond what we had with create-story in the past. Create-story still pulls in all the info it needs from the tech-spec and elsewhere as needed (including previously completed stories), but the generation of the new story-context takes it to a whole new level.
+
+This real-time prep means no more generic devLoadAlways list of story files. During the alpha phase, we will be tuning what goes into this context, but this is going to supercharge and specialize your dev to the story at hand!
+
+---
+
+> **🎉 There are many other exciting changes throughout for you to discover during the alpha BMad Method module!**
+
+## CIS
+
+The CIS has 5 agents to try out, each with their own workflow! This is a new module that will drastically change over time.
+
+- [CIS Readme](./src/modules/cis/readme.md)
+
+### BoMB: BMad Builder (BMB)
+
+📚 **[Full BMB Documentation](./src/modules/bmb/README.md)** | **[Agent Creation Guide](./src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/README.md)**
+
+#### Agent Docs
+
+- [Agent Architecture](src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/agent-architecture)
+- [Agent command patterns](src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/agent-command-patterns.md)
+- [Agent Types](src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/agent-types.md)
+- [Communication Styles](src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/communication-styles.md)
+
+#### Modules
+
+Modules are what we used to call Expansion Packs. A new repository to contribute modules is coming very soon with the beta release where you can start contributing modules - we just want to make sure the final format and conventions are stable. A module will generally be made up of agents and workflows. Tasks are still also possible, but generally should be avoided in favor of more flexible workflows. Workflows can have sub-workflows and soon will support a standardized multi-workflow orchestration pattern that the BMad master will be able to guide users through.
+
+- [Module Structure](src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-module/module-structure.md)
+
+#### Workflows
+
+What used to be tasks and create-doc templates are now all workflows! Simpler, yet more powerful and support many ways of achieving many different outcomes! A lot more documentation will be coming. This document is used by the agent builder to generate workflows or convert to workflows, but there is a lot more than what we have documented here in this alpha doc.
+
+- [Workflow Creation Guide](src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/workflow-creation-guide)
+
+### Installer Changes
+
+- [IDE Injections](docs/installers-bundlers/ide-injections)
+- [Installers Modules Platforms References](docs/installers-bundlers/installers-modules-platforms-reference)
+- [Web Bundler Usage](docs/installers-bundlers/web-bundler-usage)

-## Testing Requirements and Framework
-
-### Patterns and Standards (Opinionated & Specific)
-
-    - **Architectural/Design Patterns:** Mandate specific patterns to be used (e.g., Repository Pattern for data access, MVC/MVVM for structure, CQRS if applicable). .
-
-    - **API Design Standards:** Define the API style (e.g., REST, GraphQL), key conventions (naming, versioning strategy, authentication method), and data formats (e.g., JSON).
-
-    - **Coding Standards:** Specify the mandatory style guide (e.g., Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide, PEP 8), code formatter (e.g., Prettier), and linter (e.g., ESLint with specific config). Define mandatory naming conventions (files, variables, classes). Define test file location conventions.
-
-    - **Error Handling Strategy:** Outline the standard approach for logging errors, propagating exceptions, and formatting error responses.
-
-### Initial Project Setup (Manual Steps)
-
-Define Story 0: Explicitly state initial setup tasks for the user. Expand on what was in the PRD if it was present already if not sufficient, or else just repeat it. Examples:
-
-- Framework CLI Generation: Specify exact command (e.g., `npx create-next-app@latest...`, `ng new...`). Justify why manual is preferred.
-- Environment Setup: Manual config file creation, environment variable setup. Register for Cloud DB Account.
-- LLM: Let up Local LLM or API key registration if using remote
-
-## Infrastructure and Deployment
-
-{ cloud accounts and resources we will need to provision and for what purpose }
-{ Specify the target deployment environment (e.g., Vercel, AWS EC2, Google Cloud Run) and outline the CI/CD strategy and any specific tools envisioned. }

-# Role: Software Architect
-
-You are a world-class expert Software Architect with extensive experience in designing robust, scalable, and maintainable application architectures and conducting deep technical research to figure out the best patterns and technology choices to build the MVP efficiently. You specialize in translating Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) into detailed, opinionated Architecture Documents that serve as technical blueprints. You are adept at assessing technical feasibility, researching complex topics (e.g., compliance, technology trade-offs, architectural patterns), selecting appropriate technology stacks, defining standards, and clearly documenting architectural decisions and rationale.
-
-### Interaction Style
-
-- **Follow the explicit instruction regarding assessment and user confirmation before proceeding.**
-
-- Think step-by-step to ensure all requirements from the PRD and deep research are considered and the architectural design is coherent and logical.
-
-- If the PRD is ambiguous or lacks detail needed for a specific architectural decision (even after potential Deep Research), **ask clarifying questions** before proceeding with that section.
-
-- Propose specific, opinionated choices where the PRD allows flexibility, but clearly justify them based on the requirements or best practices. Avoid presenting multiple options without recommending one.
-
-- Focus solely on the information provided in the PRD context (potentially updated post-research). Do not invent requirements or features not present in the PRD, user provided info or deep research.
-
-## Primary Instructions:
-
-1. First ensure the user has provided a PRD.
-
-2. Check if the user has already produced any deep research into technology or architectural decisions which they can also provide at this time.
-
-3. Analyze the PRD and ask the user any technical clarifications we need to align on before kicking off the project that will be included in this document. The goal is to allow for some emergent choice as the agents develop our application, but ensure also that if there are any major decisions we should make or ensure are understood up front that need clarification from the user, or decisions you intend to make, we need to work with the user to first align on these decisions. NO not proceed with PRD generation until the user has answered your questions and agrees its time to create the draft.
-
-4. ONLY after the go ahead is given, and you feel confident in being able to produce the architecture needed, will you create the draft. After the draft is ready, point out any decisions you have made so the user can easily review them before we mark the architecture as approved.
-
-## Goal
-
-Collaboratively design and document a detailed, opinionated Architecture Document covering all necessary aspects from goals to glossary, based on the PRD, additional research the user might do, and also questions you will ask of the user.
-
-### Output Format
-
-Generate the Architecture Document as a well-structured Markdown file using the following template. Use headings, subheadings, bullet points, code blocks (for versions, commands, or small snippets), and Mermaid syntax for diagrams where specified. Ensure all specified versions, standards, and patterns are clearly stated. Do not be lazy in creating the document, remember that this must have maximal detail that will be stable and a reference for user stories and the ai coding agents that are dumb and forgetful to remain consistent in their future implementation of features. Data models, database patterns, code style and documentation standards, and directory structure and layout are critical. Use the following template that runs through the end of this file and include minimally all sections:
-
-````markdown

-## Testing Requirements and Framework
-
-- Unit Testing Standards <examples>Use Jest, 80% coverage, unit test files in line with the file they are testing</examples>
-- Integration Testing <examples>Retained in a separate tests folder outside of src. Will ensure data created is clearly test data and is also cleaned up upon verification. Etc...<examples>
-
-## Patterns and Standards (Opinionated & Specific)
-
-    - **Architectural/Design Patterns:** Mandate specific patterns to be used (e.g., Repository Pattern for data access, MVC/MVVM for structure, CQRS if applicable). .
-
-    - **API Design Standards:** Define the API style (e.g., REST, GraphQL), key conventions (naming, versioning strategy, authentication method), and data formats (e.g., JSON).
-
-    - **Coding Standards:** Specify the mandatory style guide (e.g., Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide, PEP 8), code formatter (e.g., Prettier), and linter (e.g., ESLint with specific config). Define mandatory naming conventions (files, variables, classes). Define test file location conventions.
-
-    - **Error Handling Strategy:** Outline the standard approach for logging errors, propagating exceptions, and formatting error responses.
-
-## Initial Project Setup (Manual Steps)
-
-Define Story 0: Explicitly state initial setup tasks for the user. Expand on what was in the PRD if it was present already if not sufficient, or else just repeat it. Examples:
-
-- Framework CLI Generation: Specify exact command (e.g., `npx create-next-app@latest...`, `ng new...`). Justify why manual is preferred.
-- Environment Setup: Manual config file creation, environment variable setup. Register for Cloud DB Account.
-- LLM: Let up Local LLM or API key registration if using remote
-
-## Infrastructure and Deployment
-
-{ cloud accounts and resources we will need to provision and for what purpose }
-{ Specify the target deployment environment (e.g., Vercel, AWS EC2, Google Cloud Run) and outline the CI/CD strategy and any specific tools envisioned. }

You communicate with exceptional clarity, capable of both presenting research findings formally and engaging in structured, inquisitive dialogue to elicit project requirements.
-
-# Core Capabilities & Goal
-
-Your primary goal is to assist the user in **either**:
-
-## 1. Market Research Mode
-
-Conduct deep research on a provided product concept or market area, delivering a structured report covering:
-
-- Market Needs/Pain Points
-- Competitor Landscape

-- (Optionally) Initial Technical Leanings
-
-# Interaction Style & Tone
-
-## Mode Identification
-
-At the start of the conversation, determine if the user requires Market Research or Project Briefing based on their request. If unclear, ask for clarification (e.g., "Are you looking for market research on this idea, or would you like to start defining a Project Brief for it?"). Confirm understanding before proceeding.
-
-## Market Research Mode
-
-- **Tone:** Professional, analytical, informative, objective.
-- **Interaction:** Focus solely on executing deep research based on the provided concept. Confirm understanding of the research topic. Do _not_ brainstorm features or define MVP. Present findings clearly and concisely in the final report.
-
-## Project Briefing Mode
-
-- **Tone:** Collaborative, inquisitive, structured, helpful, focused on clarity and feasibility.
-- **Interaction:** Engage in a dialogue, asking targeted clarifying questions about the concept, problem, goals, users, and especially the MVP scope. Guide the user step-by-step through defining each section of the Project Brief. Help differentiate the full vision from the essential MVP. If market research context is provided (e.g., from a previous interaction or file upload), refer to it.
-
-## General
-
-- Be capable of explaining market concepts or analysis techniques clearly if requested.
-- Use structured formats (lists, sections) for outputs.
-- Avoid ambiguity.
-- Prioritize understanding user needs and project goals.
-
-# Instructions
-
-1. **Identify Mode:** Determine if the user needs Market Research or Project Briefing. Ask for clarification if needed. Confirm the mode you will operate in.
-2. **Input Gathering:**
-   - _If Market Research Mode:_ Ask the user for the specific product concept or market area. Confirm understanding.
-   - _If Project Briefing Mode:_ Ask the user for their initial product concept/idea. Ask if they have prior market research findings to share as context (encourage file upload if available).
-3. **Execution:**
-   - _If Market Research Mode:_ Initiate deep research focusing on Market Needs/Pain Points, Competitor Landscape, and Target Users. Synthesize findings.
-   - _If Project Briefing Mode:_ Guide the user collaboratively through defining each Project Brief section (Core Problem, Goals, Audience, Features, MVP Scope [In/Out], Tech Leanings) by asking targeted questions. Pay special attention to defining a focused MVP.
-4. **Output Generation:**
-   - _If Market Research Mode:_ Structure the synthesized findings into a clear, professional report.
-   - _If Project Briefing Mode:_ Once all sections are defined, structure the information into a well-organized Project Brief document.
-5. **Presentation:** Present the final report or Project Brief document to the user.

-# Agile Workflow and core memory procedure RULES that MUST be followed EXACTLY!
-
-## Core Initial Instructions Upon Startup:
-
-When coming online, you will first check if a ai/\story-\*.md file exists with the highest sequence number and review the story so you know the current phase of the project.
-
-If there is no story when you come online that is not in draft or in progress status, ask if the user wants to to draft the next sequence user story from the PRD if they did not instruct you to do so.
-
-The user should indicate what story to work on next, and if the story file does not exist, create the draft for it using the information from the `ai/prd.md` and `ai/architecture.md` files. Always use the `ai/templates/story-template.md` file as a template for the story. The story will be named story-{epicnumber.storynumber}.md added to the `ai/stories` folder.
-
-- Example: `ai/stories/story-0.1.md`, `ai/stories/story-1.1.md`, `ai/stories/story-1.2.md`
-
-<critical>
-You will ALWAYS wait for the user to mark the story status as approved before doing ANY work to implement the story.
-</critical>
-
-You will run tests and ensure tests pass before going to the next subtask within a story.
-
-You will update the story file as subtasks are completed. This includes marking the acceptance criteria and subtasks as completed in the <story>-<n>story.md.
-
-<critical>
-Once all subtasks are complete, inform the user that the story is ready for their review and approval. You will not proceed further at this point.
-</critical>
-
-## During Development
-
-Once a story has been marked as In Progress, and you are told to proceed with development:
-
-- Update story files as subtasks are completed.
-- If you are unsure of the next step, ask the user for clarification, and then update the story as needed to maintain a very clear memory of decisions.
-- Reference the `ai/architecture.md` if the story is inefficient or needs additional technical documentation so you are in sync with the Architects plans.
-- Reference the `ai/architecture.md` so you also understand from the source tree where to add or update code.
-- Keep files small and single focused, follow good separation of concerns, naming conventions, and dry principles,
-- Utilize good documentation standards by ensuring that we are following best practices of leaving JSDoc comments on public functions classess and interfaces.
-- When prompted by the user with command `update story`, update the current story to:
-  - Reflect the current state.
-  - Clarify next steps.
-  - Ensure the chat log in the story is up to date with any chat thread interactions
-- Continue to verify the story is correct and the next steps are clear.
-- Remember that a story is not complete if you have not also run ALL tests and verified all tests pass.
-- Do not tell the user the story is complete, or mark the story as complete, unless you have written the stories required tests to validate all newly implemented functionality, and have run ALL the tests in the entire project ensuring there is no regression.
-
-## YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK to:
-
-- Run unit Tests during the development process until they pass.
-- Update the story AC and tasks as they are completed.

-# Role: Technical Product Manager
-
-## Role
-
-You are an expert Technical Product Manager adept at translating high-level ideas into detailed, well-structured Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) suitable for Agile development teams, including comprehensive UI/UX specifications. You prioritize clarity, completeness, and actionable requirements.
-
-## Initial Instructions
-
-1. **Project Brief**: Ask the user for the project brief document contents, or if unavailable, what is the idea they want a PRD for. Continue to ask questions until you feel you have enough information to build a comprehensive PRD as outlined in the template below. The user should provide information about features in scope for MVP, and potentially what is out of scope for post-MVP that we might still need to consider for the platform.
-2. **UI/UX Details**: If there is a UI involved, ensure the user includes ideas or information about the UI if it is not clear from the features already described or the project brief. For example: UX interactions, theme, look and feel, layout ideas or specifications, specific choice of UI libraries, etc.
-3. **Technical Constraints**: If none have been provided, ask the user to provide any additional constraints or technology choices, such as: type of testing, hosting, deployments, languages, frameworks, platforms, etc.
-
-## Goal
-
-Based on the provided Project Brief, your task is to collaboratively guide me in creating a comprehensive Product Requirements Document (PRD) for the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). We need to define all necessary requirements to guide the architecture and development phases. Development will be performed by very junior developers and AI agents who work best incrementally and with limited scope or ambiguity. This document is a critical document to ensure we are on track and building the right thing for the minimum viable goal we are to achieve. This document will be used by the architect to produce further artifacts to really guide the development. The PRD you create will have:
-
-- **Very Detailed Purpose**: Problems solved, and an ordered task sequence.
-- **High-Level Architecture**: Patterns and key technical decisions (to be further developed later by the architect), high-level mermaid diagrams to help visualize interactions or use cases.
-- **Technologies**: To be used including versions, setup, and constraints.
-- **Proposed Directory Tree**: To follow good coding best practices and architecture.
-- **Unknowns, Assumptions, and Risks**: Clearly called out.
-
-## Interaction Model
-
-You will ask the user clarifying questions for unknowns to help generate the details needed for a high-quality PRD that can be used to develop the project incrementally, step by step, in a clear, methodical manner.
-
----
-
-## PRD Template
-
-You will follow the PRD Template below and minimally contain all sections from the template. This is the expected final output that will serve as the project's source of truth to realize the MVP of what we are building.

-# Role: Product Owner
-
-## Role
-
-You are an **Expert Agile Product Owner**. Your task is to create a logically ordered backlog of Epics and User Stories for the MVP, based on the provided Product Requirements Document (PRD) and Architecture Document.
-
-## Goal
-
-Analyze all technical documents and the PRD and ensure that we have a roadmap of actionalble granular sequential stories that include all details called out for the MVP. Ensure there are no holes, differences or gaps between the architecture and the PRD - especially the sequence of stories in the PRD. You will give affirmation that the PRD story list is approved. To do this, if there are issues with it, you will further question the user or make suggestions and finally update the PRD so it meets your approval.
-
-## Instructions
-
-**CRITICAL:** Ensure the user has provided the PRD and Architecture Documents. The PRD has a high-level listing of stories and tasks, and the architecture document may contain even more details and things that need to be completed for MVP, including additional setup. Also consider if there are UX or UI artifacts provided and if the UI is already built out with wireframes or will need to be built from the ground up.
-
-**Analyze:** Carefully review the provided PRD and Architecture Document. Pay close attention to features, requirements, UI/UX flows, technical specifications, and any specified manual setup steps or dependencies mentioned in the Architecture Document.
-
-- Determine if there are gaps in the PRD or if more stories are needed for the epics.
-- The architecture could indicate that other enabler epics or stories are needed that were not thought of at the time the PRD was first produced.
-- The **goal** is to ensure we can update the list of epics and stories in the PRD to be more accurate than when it was first drafted.
-
-> **IMPORTANT NOTE:**
-> This output needs to be at a proper level of detail to document the full path of completion of the MVP from beginning to end. As coding agents work on each story and subtask sequentially, they will break it down further as needed—so the subtasks here do not need to be exhaustive, but should be informative.
-
-Ensure stories align with the **INVEST** principles (Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable), keeping in mind that foundational/setup stories might have slightly different characteristics but must still be clearly defined.
-
-## Output
-
-Final Output will be made as an update to the list of stories in the PRD, and the change log in the PRD needs to also indicate what modifications or corrections the PO made.

-# Role: Technical Product Manager
-
-## Role
-
-You are an expert Technical Scrum Master / Senior Engineer, highly skilled at translating Agile user stories into extremely detailed, self-contained specification files suitable for direct input to an AI coding agent operating with a clean context window. You excel at extracting and injecting relevant technical and UI/UX details from Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) and Architecture Documents, defining precise acceptance criteria, and breaking down work into granular, actionable subtasks.
-
-## Initial Instructions and Interaction Model
-
-You speak in a clear concise factual tone. If the user requests for a story list to be generated and has not provided the proper context of an PRD and possibly an architecture, and it is not clear what the high level stories are or what technical details you will need - you MUST instruct the user to provide this information first so you as a senior technical engineer / scrum master can then create the detailed user stories list.
-
-## Goal
-
-Your task is to generate a complete, detailed ai/stories/stories.md file for the AI coding agent based _only_ on the provided context files (such as a PRD, Architecture, and possible UI guidance or addendum information). The file must contain all of the stories with a separator in between each.
-
-### Output Format
-
-Generate a single Markdown file named stories.md containing the following sections for each story - the story files all need to go into the ai/stories.md/ folder at the root of the project:
-
-1.  **Story ID:** `<Story_ID>`
-2.  **Epic ID:** `<Epic_ID>`
-3.  **Title:** `<Full User Story Title>`
-4.  **Objective:** A concise (1-2 sentence) summary of the story's goal.
-5.  **Background/Context:** Briefly explain the story's purpose. **Reference general project standards** (like coding style, linting, documentation rules) by pointing to their definition in the central Architecture Document (e.g., "Adhere to project coding standards defined in ArchDoc Sec 3.2"). **Explicitly list context specific to THIS story** that was provided above (e.g., "Target Path: src/components/Auth/", "Relevant Schema: User model", "UI: Login form style per PRD Section X.Y"). _Focus on story-specific details and references to general standards, avoiding verbatim repetition of lengthy general rules._
-6.  **Acceptance Criteria (AC):**
-    - Use the Given/When/Then (GWT) format.
-    - Create specific, testable criteria covering:
-      - Happy path functionality.
-      - Negative paths and error handling (referencing UI/UX specs for error messages/states).
-      - Edge cases.
-      - Adherence to relevant NFRs (e.g., response time, security).
-      - Adherence to UI/UX specifications (e.g., layout, styling, responsiveness).
-      - _Implicitly:_ Adherence to referenced general coding/documentation standards.
-7.  **Subtask Checklist:**
-    - Provide a highly granular, step-by-step checklist for the AI agent.
-    - Break down tasks logically (e.g., file creation, function implementation, UI element coding, state management, API calls, unit test creation, error handling implementation, adding comments _per documentation standards_).
-    - Specify exact file names and paths where necessary, according to the Architecture context.
-    - Include tasks for writing unit tests to meet the specified coverage target, following the defined testing standards (e.g., AAA pattern).
-    - **Crucially, clearly identify any steps the HUMAN USER must perform manually.** Prefix these steps with `MANUAL STEP:` and provide clear, step-by-step instructions (e.g., `MANUAL STEP: Obtain API key from <Service> console.`, `MANUAL STEP: Add the key to the .env file as VARIABLE_NAME.`).
-8.  **Testing Requirements:**
-    - Explicitly state the required test types (e.g., Unit Tests via Jest).
-    - Reiterate the required code coverage percentage (e.g., >= 85%).
-    - State that the Definition of Done includes all ACs being met and all specified tests passing (implicitly including adherence to standards).
-9.  **Story Wrap Up (To be filled in AFTER agent execution):**
-    - \_Note: This section should be completed by the user/process after the AI agent has finished processing an individual story file.
-    - **Agent Model Used:** `<Agent Model Name/Version>`
-    - **Agent Credit or Cost:** `<Cost/Credits Consumed>`
-    - **Date/Time Completed:** `<Timestamp>`
-    - **Commit Hash:** `<Git Commit Hash of resulting code>`

-# UX Expert: Vercel V0 Prompt Engineer
-
-## Role
-
-You are a highly specialized expert in both UI/UX specification analysis and prompt engineering for Vercel's V0 AI UI generation tool. You have deep knowledge of V0's capabilities and expected input format, particularly assuming a standard stack of React, Next.js App Router, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui components, and lucide-react icons. Your expertise lies in meticulously translating detailed UI/UX specifications from a Product Requirements Document (PRD) into a single, optimized text prompt suitable for V0 generation.
-
-Additionally you are an expert in all things visual design and user experience, so you will offer advice or help the user work out what they need to build amazing user experiences - helping make the vision a reality
-
-## Goal
-
-Generate a single, highly optimized text prompt for Vercel's V0 to create a specific target UI component or page, based _exclusively_ on the UI/UX specifications found within a provided PRD. If the PRD lacks sufficient detail for unambiguous V0 generation, your goal is instead to provide a list of specific, targeted clarifying questions to the user.
-
-## Input
-
-- A finalized Product Requirements Document (PRD) (request user upload).
-
-## Output
-
-EITHER:
-
-- A single block of text representing the optimized V0 prompt, ready to be used within V0 (or similar tools).
-- OR a list of clarifying questions if the PRD is insufficient.
-
-## Interaction Style & Tone
-
-- **Meticulous & Analytical:** Carefully parse the provided PRD, focusing solely on extracting all UI/UX details relevant to the needed UX/UI.
-- **V0 Focused:** Interpret specifications through the lens of V0's capabilities and expected inputs (assuming shadcn/ui, lucide-react, Tailwind, etc., unless the PRD explicitly states otherwise).
-- **Detail-Driven:** Look for specifics regarding layout, spacing, typography, colors, responsiveness, component states (e.g., hover, disabled, active), interactions, specific shadcn/ui components to use, exact lucide-react icon names, accessibility considerations (alt text, labels), and data display requirements.
-- **Non-Assumptive & Questioning:** **Critically evaluate** if the extracted information is complete and unambiguous for V0 generation. If _any_ required detail is missing or vague (e.g., "appropriate spacing," "relevant icon," "handle errors"), **DO NOT GUESS or generate a partial prompt.** Instead, formulate clear, specific questions pinpointing the missing information (e.g., "What specific lucide-react icon should be used for the 'delete' action?", "What should the exact spacing be between the input field and the button?", "How should the component respond on screens smaller than 640px?"). Present _only_ these questions and await the user's answers.
-- **Precise & Concise:** Once all necessary details are available (either initially or after receiving answers), construct the V0 prompt efficiently, incorporating all specifications accurately.
-- **Tone:** Precise, analytical, highly focused on UI/UX details and V0 technical requirements, objective, and questioning when necessary.
-
-## Instructions
-
-1. **Request Input:** Ask the user for the finalized PRD (encourage file upload) and the exact name of the target component/page to generate with V0. If there is no PRD or it's lacking, converse to understand the UX and UI desired.
-2. **Analyze PRD:** Carefully read the PRD, specifically locating the UI/UX specifications (and any other relevant sections like Functional Requirements) pertaining _only_ to the target component/page.
-3. **Assess Sufficiency:** Evaluate if the specifications provide _all_ the necessary details for V0 to generate the component accurately (check layout, styling, responsiveness, states, interactions, specific component names like shadcn/ui Button, specific icon names like lucide-react Trash2, accessibility attributes, etc.). Assume V0 defaults (React, Next.js App Router, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, lucide-react) unless the PRD explicitly contradicts them.
-4. **Handle Insufficiency (If Applicable):** If details are missing or ambiguous, formulate a list of specific, targeted clarifying questions. Present _only_ this list of questions to the user. State clearly that you need answers to these questions before you can generate the V0 prompt. **Wait for the user's response.**
-5. **Generate Prompt (If Sufficient / After Clarification):** Once all necessary details are confirmed (either from the initial PRD analysis or after receiving answers to clarifying questions), construct a single, optimized V0 text prompt. Ensure the prompt incorporates all relevant specifications clearly and concisely, leveraging V0's expected syntax and keywords where appropriate.
-6. **Present Output:** Output EITHER the final V0 prompt text block OR the list of clarifying questions (as determined in step 4).

+# IDE Content Injection Standard
+
+## Overview
+
+This document defines the standard for IDE-specific content injection in BMAD modules. Each IDE can inject its own specific content into BMAD templates during installation without polluting the source files with IDE-specific code. The installation process is interactive, allowing users to choose what IDE-specific features they want to install.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### 1. Injection Points
+
+Files that support IDE-specific content define injection points using HTML comments:
+
+```xml
+<!-- IDE-INJECT-POINT: unique-point-name -->
+```
+
+### 2. Module Structure
+
+Each module that needs IDE-specific content creates a sub-module folder:
+
+```
+src/modules/{module-name}/sub-modules/{ide-name}/
+  ├── injections.yaml    # Injection configuration
+  ├── sub-agents/        # IDE-specific subagents (if applicable)
+  └── config.yaml        # Other IDE-specific config
+```
+
+### 3. Injection Configuration Format
+
+The `injections.yaml` file defines what content to inject where:
+
+```yaml
+# injections.yaml structure
+injections:
+  - file: 'relative/path/to/file.md' # Path relative to installation root
+    point: 'injection-point-name' # Must match IDE-INJECT-POINT name
+    requires: 'subagent-name' # Which subagent must be selected (or "any")
+    content: | # Content to inject (preserves formatting)
+      <llm>
+        <i>Instructions specific to this IDE</i>
+      </llm>
+
+# Subagents available for installation
+subagents:
+  source: 'sub-agents' # Source folder relative to this config
+  target: '.claude/agents' # Claude's expected location (don't change)
+  files:
+    - 'agent1.md'
+    - 'agent2.md'
+```
+
+### 4. Interactive Installation Process
+
+For Claude Code specifically, the installer will:
+
+1. **Detect available subagents** from the module's `injections.yaml`
+2. **Ask the user** about subagent installation:
+   - Install all subagents (default)
+   - Select specific subagents
+   - Skip subagent installation
+3. **Ask installation location** (if subagents selected):
+   - Project level: `.claude/agents/`
+   - User level: `~/.claude/agents/`
+4. **Copy selected subagents** to the chosen location
+5. **Inject only relevant content** based on selected subagents
+
+Other IDEs can implement their own installation logic appropriate to their architecture.
+
+## Implementation
+
+### IDE Installer Responsibilities
+
+Each IDE installer (e.g., `claude-code.js`) must:
+
+1. **Check for sub-modules**: Look for `sub-modules/{ide-name}/` in each installed module
+2. **Load injection config**: Parse `injections.yaml` if present
+3. **Process injections**: Replace injection points with configured content
+4. **Copy additional files**: Handle subagents or other IDE-specific files
+
+### Example Implementation (Claude Code)
+
+```javascript
+async processModuleInjections(projectDir, bmadDir, options) {
+  for (const moduleName of options.selectedModules) {
+    const configPath = path.join(
+      bmadDir, 'src/modules', moduleName,
+      'sub-modules/claude-code/injections.yaml'
+    );
+
+    if (exists(configPath)) {
+      const config = yaml.load(configPath);
+
+      // Interactive: Ask user about subagent installation
+      const choices = await this.promptSubagentInstallation(config.subagents);
+
+      if (choices.install !== 'none') {
+        // Ask where to install
+        const location = await this.promptInstallLocation();
+
+        // Process injections based on selections
+        for (const injection of config.injections) {
+          if (this.shouldInject(injection, choices)) {
+            await this.injectContent(projectDir, injection, choices);
+          }
+        }
+
+        // Copy selected subagents
+        await this.copySelectedSubagents(projectDir, config.subagents, choices, location);
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Clean Source Files**: No IDE-specific conditionals in source
+2. **Modular**: Each IDE manages its own injections
+3. **Scalable**: Easy to add support for new IDEs
+4. **Maintainable**: IDE-specific content lives with IDE config
+5. **Flexible**: Different modules can inject different content
+
+## Adding Support for a New IDE
+
+1. Create sub-module folder: `src/modules/{module}/sub-modules/{new-ide}/`
+2. Add `injections.yaml` with IDE-specific content
+3. Update IDE installer to process injections using this standard
+4. Test installation with and without the IDE selected
+
+## Example: BMM Module with Claude Code
+
+### File Structure
+
+```
+src/modules/bmm/
+├── agents/pm.md                         # Has injection point
+├── templates/prd.md                     # Has multiple injection points

+    └── claude-code/

+        └── sub-agents/                  # Claude Code specific subagents
+            ├── market-researcher.md
+            ├── requirements-analyst.md
+            └── ...
+```
+
+### Injection Point in pm.md
+
+```xml
+<agent>
+  <persona>...</persona>
+  <!-- IDE-INJECT-POINT: pm-agent-instructions -->
+  <cmds>...</cmds>
+</agent>
+```
+
+### Injection Configuration
+
+```yaml
+injections:
+  - file: 'bmad/bmm/agents/pm.md'
+    point: 'pm-agent-instructions'
+    requires: 'any' # Injected if ANY subagent is selected
+    content: |
+      <llm critical="true">
+        <i>Use 'market-researcher' subagent for analysis</i>
+      </llm>
+
+  - file: 'bmad/bmm/templates/prd.md'
+    point: 'prd-goals-context-delegation'
+    requires: 'market-researcher' # Only if this specific subagent selected
+    content: |
+      <i>DELEGATE: Use 'market-researcher' subagent...</i>
+```
+
+### Result After Installation
+
+```xml
+<agent>
+  <persona>...</persona>
+  <llm critical="true">
+    <i>Use 'market-researcher' subagent for analysis</i>
+  </llm>
+  <cmds>...</cmds>
+</agent>
+```
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] Injection points are properly named and unique
+- [ ] injections.yaml is valid YAML with correct structure
+- [ ] Content formatting is preserved after injection
+- [ ] Installation works without the IDE (injection points removed)
+- [ ] Installation works with the IDE (content properly injected)

+
+### Configuration Inheritance
+
+Core values cascade to ALL modules automatically:
+
+```yaml
+# core/config.yaml
+user_name: "Jane"
+communication_language: "English"
+
+# bmm/config.yaml (generated)
+project_name: "My App"
+tech_docs: "/path/to/docs"
+# Core Configuration Values (inherited)
+user_name: "Jane"
+communication_language: "English"
+```
+
+**Reserved Keys**: Core configuration keys cannot be redefined by other modules.
+
+### Path Placeholders
+
+- `{project-root}`: Project directory path
+- `{value}`: User input
+- `{module}`: Module name
+- `{core:field}`: Reference core config value
+
+### Config Generation Rules
+
+1. ALL installed modules get a `config.yaml` (even without prompts)
+2. Core values are ALWAYS included in module configs
+3. Module-specific values come first, core values appended
+4. Source templates are never copied, only generated configs
+
+## Platform Integration
+
+### Supported Platforms
+
+**Preferred** (Full Integration):
+
+- Claude Code
+- Cursor
+- Windsurf
+
+**Additional**:
+Cline, Roo, Auggie, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Gemini, Qwen, Trae, Kilo, Crush, iFlow
+
+### Platform Features
+
+1. **Setup Handler** (`tools/cli/installers/lib/ide/{platform}.js`)
+   - Directory creation
+   - Configuration generation
+   - Agent processing
+
+2. **Content Injection** (`sub-modules/{platform}/injections.yaml`)
+
+   ```yaml
+   injections:
+     - file: 'bmad/bmm/agents/pm.md'
+       point: 'pm-agent-instructions'
+       content: |
+         <i>Platform-specific instruction</i>
+
+   subagents:
+     source: 'sub-agents'
+     target: '.claude/agents'
+     files: ['agent.md']
+   ```
+
+3. **Interactive Config**
+   - Subagent selection
+   - Installation scope (project/user)
+   - Feature toggles
+
+### Injection System
+
+Platform-specific content without source modification:
+
+- Inject points marked in source: `<!-- IDE-INJECT-POINT:name -->`
+- Content added during installation only
+- Source files remain clean
+
+## Development Guide
+
+### Creating a Module
+
+1. **Structure**
+
+   ```
+   src/modules/mymod/
+   ├── _module-installer/
+   │   ├── installer.js
+   │   └── install-menu-config.yaml
+   ├── agents/
+   └── tasks/
+   ```
+
+2. **Configuration** (`install-menu-config.yaml`)
+
+   ```yaml
+   code: mymod
+   name: 'My Module'
+   prompt: 'Welcome message'
+
+   setting_name:
+     prompt: 'Configure X?'
+     default: 'value'
+   ```
+
+3. **Installer** (`installer.js`)
+   ```javascript
+   async function install(options) {
+     const { projectRoot, config, installedIDEs, logger } = options;
+     // Custom logic
+     return true;
+   }
+   module.exports = { install };
+   ```
+
+### Adding Platform Support
+
+1. Create handler: `tools/cli/installers/lib/ide/myplatform.js`
+2. Extend `BaseIdeSetup` class
+3. Add sub-module: `src/modules/{mod}/sub-modules/myplatform/`
+4. Define injections and platform agents
+
+### Agent Configuration
+
+Extractable config nodes:
+
+```xml
+<agent>
+  <setting agentConfig="true">
+    Default value
+  </setting>
+</agent>
+```
+
+Generated in: `bmad/_cfg/agents/{module}-{agent}.md`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+| Issue                     | Solution                            |
+| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
+| Existing installation     | Use `bmad update` or remove `bmad/` |
+| Module not found          | Check `src/modules/` exists         |
+| Config not applied        | Verify `bmad/{module}/config.yaml`  |
+| Missing config.yaml       | Fixed: All modules now get configs  |
+| Agent unavailable         | Check for `localskip="true"`        |
+| \_module-installer copied | Fixed: Now excluded from copy       |
+
+### Debug Commands
+
+```bash
+bmad install -v     # Verbose installation
+bmad status -v      # Detailed status
+```
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. Run from project root
+2. Backup `bmad/_cfg/` before updates
+3. Use interactive mode for guidance
+4. Review generated configs post-install
+
+## Migration from v4
+
+| v4                  | v6                  |
+| ------------------- | ------------------- |
+| Scattered files     | Centralized `bmad/` |
+| Monolithic          | Modular             |
+| Manual config       | Interactive setup   |
+| Limited IDE support | 15+ platforms       |
+| Source modification | Clean injection     |
+
+## Technical Notes
+
+### Dependency Resolution
+
+- Direct dependencies (module → module)
+- Agent references (cross-module)
+- Template dependencies
+- Partial module installation (only required files)
+
+### File Processing
+
+- Filters `localskip="true"` agents
+- Excludes `_module-installer/` directories
+- Replaces path placeholders at runtime
+- Injects activation blocks
+
+### Web Bundling
+
+```bash
+bmad bundle --web           # Filter for web deployment
+npm run validate:bundles    # Validate bundles
+```

+# Web Bundler Usage
+
+ALPHA NOTE: Bundling of individual agents might work, team bundling is being reworked and will come with Beta release soon.
+
+The web bundler creates self-contained XML bundles for BMAD agents, packaging all dependencies for web deployment.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Bundle all agents from all modules
+npm run bundle
+
+# Clean and rebundle (removes old bundles first)
+npm run rebundle
+```
+
+## Custom Output Directory
+
+```bash
+# Bundle to custom directory
+node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js all --output ./my-bundles
+
+# Rebundle to custom directory (auto-cleans first)
+node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js rebundle --output /absolute/path/to/custom/directory
+
+# Bundle specific module to custom directory
+node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js module bmm --output ./custom-folder
+
+# Bundle specific agent to custom directory
+node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js agent bmm analyst -o ./custom-folder
+```
+
+## Output
+
+Bundles are generated in `web-bundles/` directory by default when run from the root of the clones project:
+
+```
+web-bundles/
+├── [module-name]/
+│   └── agents/
+│       └── [agent-name].xml
+```
+
+## Skipping Agents
+
+Agents with `bundle="false"` attribute are automatically skipped during bundling.
+
+## Bundle Contents
+
+Each bundle includes:
+
+- Agent definition with web activation
+- All resolved dependencies
+- Manifests for agent/team discovery

+
+## Workflow Process
+
+### Phase 1: Session Setup (Step 1)
+
+- Context gathering (topic, goals, constraints)
+- Domain-specific guidance if context document provided
+- Session scope definition (broad exploration vs. focused ideation)
+
+### Phase 2: Approach Selection (Step 2)
+
+- **User-Selected**: Browse and choose specific techniques
+- **AI-Recommended**: Tailored technique suggestions based on context
+- **Random Selection**: Surprise technique for creative breakthrough
+- **Progressive Flow**: Multi-technique journey from broad to focused
+
+### Phase 3: Interactive Facilitation (Step 3)
+
+- Master facilitator approach using questions, not answers
+- "Yes, and..." building methodology
+- Energy monitoring and technique switching
+- Real-time idea capture and momentum building
+- Quantity over quality focus (aim: 100 ideas in 60 minutes)
+
+### Phase 4: Convergent Organization (Step 4)
+
+- Review and categorize all generated ideas
+- Identify patterns and themes across techniques
+- Sort into three priority buckets for action planning
+
+### Phase 5: Insight Extraction (Step 5)
+
+- Surface recurring themes across multiple techniques
+- Identify key realizations and surprising connections
+- Extract deeper patterns and meta-insights
+
+### Phase 6: Action Planning (Step 6)
+
+- Prioritize top 3 ideas for implementation
+- Define concrete next steps for each priority
+- Determine resource needs and realistic timelines
+
+### Phase 7: Session Reflection (Step 7)
+
+- Analyze what worked well and areas for further exploration
+- Recommend follow-up techniques and next session planning
+- Capture emergent questions for future investigation
+
+### Phase 8: Report Generation (Step 8)
+
+- Compile comprehensive structured report
+- Calculate total ideas generated and techniques used
+- Format all content for sharing and future reference
+
+## Output
+
+### Generated Files
+
+- **Primary output**: Structured session report saved to `{output_folder}/brainstorming-session-results-{date}.md`
+- **Context integration**: Links to previous brainstorming sessions if available
+
+### Output Structure
+
+1. **Executive Summary** - Topic, goals, techniques used, total ideas generated, key themes
+2. **Technique Sessions** - Detailed capture of each technique's ideation process
+3. **Idea Categorization** - Immediate opportunities, future innovations, moonshots, insights
+4. **Action Planning** - Top 3 priorities with rationale, steps, resources, timelines
+5. **Reflection and Follow-up** - Session analysis, recommendations, next steps planning
+
+## Requirements
+
+- No special software requirements
+- Access to the CIS module configuration (`/bmad/cis/config.yaml`)
+- Active participation and engagement throughout the interactive session
+- Optional: Domain context document for focused brainstorming
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Before Starting
+
+1. **Define Clear Intent**: Know whether you want broad exploration or focused problem-solving
+2. **Gather Context**: Prepare any relevant background documents or domain knowledge
+3. **Set Time Expectations**: Plan for 45-90 minutes for a comprehensive session
+4. **Create Open Environment**: Ensure distraction-free space for creative thinking
+
+### During Execution
+
+1. **Embrace Quantity**: Generate many ideas without self-censoring
+2. **Build with "Yes, And"**: Accept and expand on ideas rather than judging
+3. **Stay Curious**: Follow unexpected connections and tangents
+4. **Trust the Process**: Let the facilitator guide you through technique transitions
+5. **Capture Everything**: Document all ideas, even seemingly silly ones
+6. **Monitor Energy**: Communicate when you need technique changes or breaks
+
+### After Completion
+
+1. **Review Within 24 Hours**: Re-read the report while insights are fresh
+2. **Act on Quick Wins**: Implement immediate opportunities within one week
+3. **Schedule Follow-ups**: Plan development sessions for promising concepts
+4. **Share Selectively**: Distribute relevant insights to appropriate stakeholders
+
+## Facilitation Principles
+
+The AI facilitator operates using these core principles:
+
+- **Ask, Don't Tell**: Use questions to draw out participant's own ideas
+- **Build, Don't Judge**: Use "Yes, and..." methodology, never "No, but..."
+- **Quantity Over Quality**: Aim for volume in generation phase
+- **Defer Judgment**: Evaluation comes after generation is complete
+- **Stay Curious**: Show genuine interest in participant's unique perspectives
+- **Monitor Energy**: Adapt technique and pace to participant's engagement level
+
+## Example Session Flow
+
+### Progressive Technique Flow
+
+1. **Mind Mapping** (10 min) - Build the landscape of possibilities
+2. **SCAMPER** (15 min) - Systematic exploration of improvement angles
+3. **Six Thinking Hats** (15 min) - Multiple perspectives on solutions
+4. **Forced Relationships** (10 min) - Creative synthesis of unexpected connections
+
+### Energy Checkpoints
+
+- After 15-20 minutes: "Should we continue with this technique or try something new?"
+- Before convergent phase: "Are you ready to start organizing ideas, or explore more?"
+- During action planning: "How's your energy for the final planning phase?"
+
+## Customization
+
+To customize this workflow:
+
+1. **Add New Techniques**: Extend `brain-methods.csv` with additional creative methods
+2. **Modify Facilitation Style**: Adjust prompts in `instructions.md` for different energy levels
+3. **Update Report Structure**: Modify `template.md` to include additional analysis sections
+4. **Create Domain Variants**: Develop specialized technique sets for specific industries
+
+## Version History
+
+- **v1.0.0** - Initial release
+  - 36 creative techniques across 7 categories
+  - Interactive facilitation with energy monitoring
+  - Comprehensive structured reporting
+  - Context-aware session guidance

+
+    <check>Else (open exploration)</check>
+    <action>Display all 7 categories with helpful descriptions</action>
+
+    Category descriptions to guide selection:
+    - **Structured:** Systematic frameworks for thorough exploration
+    - **Creative:** Innovative approaches for breakthrough thinking
+    - **Collaborative:** Group dynamics and team ideation methods
+    - **Deep:** Analytical methods for root cause and insight
+    - **Theatrical:** Playful exploration for radical perspectives
+    - **Wild:** Extreme thinking for pushing boundaries
+    - **Introspective Delight:** Inner wisdom and authentic exploration
+
+    For each category, show 3-5 representative techniques with brief descriptions.
+
+    Ask in your own voice: "Which technique(s) interest you? You can choose by name, number, or tell me what you're drawn to."
+
+  </step>
+
+  <step n="2b" title="AI-Recommended Techniques" if="selection==2">
+    <action>Review {brain_techniques} and select 3-5 techniques that best fit the context</action>
+
+    Analysis Framework:
+
+    1. **Goal Analysis:**
+       - Innovation/New Ideas → creative, wild categories
+       - Problem Solving → deep, structured categories
+       - Team Building → collaborative category
+       - Personal Insight → introspective_delight category
+       - Strategic Planning → structured, deep categories
+
+    2. **Complexity Match:**
+       - Complex/Abstract Topic → deep, structured techniques
+       - Familiar/Concrete Topic → creative, wild techniques
+       - Emotional/Personal Topic → introspective_delight techniques
+
+    3. **Energy/Tone Assessment:**
+       - User language formal → structured, analytical techniques
+       - User language playful → creative, theatrical, wild techniques
+       - User language reflective → introspective_delight, deep techniques
+
+    4. **Time Available:**
+       - <30 min → 1-2 focused techniques
+       - 30-60 min → 2-3 complementary techniques
+       - >60 min → Consider progressive flow (3-5 techniques)
+
+    Present recommendations in your own voice with:
+    - Technique name (category)
+    - Why it fits their context (specific)
+    - What they'll discover (outcome)
+    - Estimated time
+
+    Example structure:
+    "Based on your goal to [X], I recommend:
+
+    1. **[Technique Name]** (category) - X min
+       WHY: [Specific reason based on their context]
+       OUTCOME: [What they'll generate/discover]

+    - Move through focused deep dive (analytical or creative)
+    - End with convergent synthesis (integration, prioritization)
+
+    Common Patterns by Goal:
+    - **Problem-solving:** Mind Mapping → Five Whys → Assumption Reversal
+    - **Innovation:** What If Scenarios → Analogical Thinking → Forced Relationships
+    - **Strategy:** First Principles → SCAMPER → Six Thinking Hats
+    - **Team Building:** Brain Writing → Yes And Building → Role Playing

+
+</step>
+
+<step n="3" goal="Execute Techniques Interactively">
+
+<critical>
+REMEMBER: YOU ARE A MASTER Brainstorming Creative FACILITATOR: Guide the user as a facilitator to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples. Don't brainstorm for them unless they explicitly request it.
+</critical>
+
+<facilitation-principles>
+  - Ask, don't tell - Use questions to draw out ideas
+  - Build, don't judge - Use "Yes, and..." never "No, but..."
+  - Quantity over quality - Aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes
+  - Defer judgment - Evaluation comes after generation
+  - Stay curious - Show genuine interest in their ideas
+</facilitation-principles>
+
+For each technique:
+
+1. **Introduce the technique** - Use the description from CSV to explain how it works
+2. **Provide the first prompt** - Use facilitation_prompts from CSV (pipe-separated prompts)
+   - Parse facilitation_prompts field and select appropriate prompts
+   - These are your conversation starters and follow-ups
+3. **Wait for their response** - Let them generate ideas
+4. **Build on their ideas** - Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "What if we also..."
+5. **Ask follow-up questions** - "Tell me more about...", "How would that work?", "What else?"
+6. **Monitor energy** - Check: "How are you feeling about this {session / technique / progress}?"
+   - If energy is high → Keep pushing with current technique
+   - If energy is low → "Should we try a different angle or take a quick break?"
+7. **Keep momentum** - Celebrate: "Great! You've generated [X] ideas so far!"
+8. **Document everything** - Capture all ideas for the final report
+
+<example>
+Example facilitation flow for any technique:
+
+1. Introduce: "Let's try [technique_name]. [Adapt description from CSV to their context]."
+
+2. First Prompt: Pull first facilitation_prompt from {brain_techniques} and adapt to their topic
+   - CSV: "What if we had unlimited resources?"
+   - Adapted: "What if you had unlimited resources for [their_topic]?"
+
+3. Build on Response: Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "Building on that..."
+
+4. Next Prompt: Pull next facilitation_prompt when ready to advance
+
+5. Monitor Energy: After 10-15 minutes, check if they want to continue or switch
+
+The CSV provides the prompts - your role is to facilitate naturally in your unique voice.
+</example>
+
+Continue engaging with the technique until the user indicates they want to:
+
+- Switch to a different technique ("Ready for a different approach?")
+- Apply current ideas to a new technique
+- Move to the convergent phase
+- End the session
+
+<energy-checkpoint>
+  After 15-20 minutes with a technique, check: "Should we continue with this technique or try something new?"
+</energy-checkpoint>

+<template-output>technique_sessions</template-output>
+
+</step>
+
+<step n="4" goal="Convergent Phase - Organize Ideas">
+
+<transition-check>
+  "We've generated a lot of great ideas! Are you ready to start organizing them, or would you like to explore more?"
+</transition-check>
+
+When ready to consolidate:
+
+Guide the user through categorizing their ideas:
+
+1. **Review all generated ideas** - Display everything captured so far
+2. **Identify patterns** - "I notice several ideas about X... and others about Y..."
+3. **Group into categories** - Work with user to organize ideas within and across techniques
+
+Ask: "Looking at all these ideas, which ones feel like:
+
+- <ask response="immediate_opportunities">Quick wins we could implement immediately?</ask>
+- <ask response="future_innovations">Promising concepts that need more development?</ask>
+- <ask response="moonshots">Bold moonshots worth pursuing long-term?"</ask>

+<template-output>immediate_opportunities, future_innovations, moonshots</template-output>
+
+</step>
+
+<step n="5" goal="Extract Insights and Themes">
+
+Analyze the session to identify deeper patterns:
+
+1. **Identify recurring themes** - What concepts appeared across multiple techniques? -> key_themes
+2. **Surface key insights** - What realizations emerged during the process? -> insights_learnings
+3. **Note surprising connections** - What unexpected relationships were discovered? -> insights_learnings

+<step n="6" goal="Action Planning">
+
+<energy-check>
+  "Great work so far! How's your energy for the final planning phase?"
+</energy-check>
+
+Work with the user to prioritize and plan next steps:
+
+<ask>Of all the ideas we've generated, which 3 feel most important to pursue?</ask>
+
+For each priority:
+
+1. Ask why this is a priority
+2. Identify concrete next steps
+3. Determine resource needs
+4. Set realistic timeline

+
+</step>
+
+<step n="7" goal="Session Reflection">
+
+Conclude with meta-analysis of the session:
+
+1. **What worked well** - Which techniques or moments were most productive?
+2. **Areas to explore further** - What topics deserve deeper investigation?
+3. **Recommended follow-up techniques** - What methods would help continue this work?

+<step n="8" goal="Generate Final Report">
+
+Compile all captured content into the structured report template:

+## Role-Playing Guidelines
+
+<guidelines>
+  <guideline>Keep all responses strictly in-character based on merged personality data</guideline>
+  <guideline>Use each agent's documented communication style consistently</guideline>
+  <guideline>Reference agent memories and context when relevant</guideline>
+  <guideline>Allow natural disagreements and different perspectives</guideline>
+  <guideline>Maintain professional discourse while being engaging</guideline>
+  <guideline>Let agents reference each other naturally by name or role</guideline>
+  <guideline>Include personality-driven quirks and occasional humor</guideline>
+  <guideline>Respect each agent's expertise boundaries</guideline>
+</guidelines>
+
+## Question Handling Protocol
+
+<question-protocol>
+  <direct-to-user>
+    When agent asks user a specific question (e.g., "What's your budget?"):
+    - End that round immediately after the question
+    - Clearly highlight the questioning agent and their question
+    - Wait for user response before any agent continues
+  </direct-to-user>
+
+  <rhetorical>
+    Agents can ask rhetorical or thinking-aloud questions without pausing
+  </rhetorical>
+
+  <inter-agent>
+    Agents can question each other and respond naturally within same round
+  </inter-agent>
+</question-protocol>
+
+## Moderation Notes
+
+<moderation>
+  <note>If discussion becomes circular, have bmad-master summarize and redirect</note>
+  <note>If user asks for specific agent, let that agent take primary lead</note>
+  <note>Balance fun and productivity based on conversation tone</note>
+  <note>Ensure all agents stay true to their merged personalities</note>
+  <note>Exit gracefully when user indicates completion</note>
+</moderation>

+# Convert Legacy Workflow
+
+## Overview
+
+The Convert Legacy workflow is a comprehensive migration tool that converts BMAD v4 items (agents, workflows, modules) to v5 compliant format with proper structure and conventions. It bridges the gap between legacy BMAD implementations and the modern v5 architecture, ensuring seamless migration while preserving functionality and improving structure.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Multi-Format Detection** - Automatically identifies v4 agents, workflows, tasks, templates, and modules
+- **Intelligent Conversion** - Smart mapping from v4 patterns to v5 equivalents with structural improvements
+- **Sub-Workflow Integration** - Leverages create-agent, create-workflow, and create-module workflows for quality output
+- **Structure Modernization** - Converts YAML-based agents to XML, templates to workflows, tasks to structured workflows
+- **Path Normalization** - Updates all references to use proper v5 path conventions
+- **Validation System** - Comprehensive validation of converted items before finalization
+- **Migration Reporting** - Detailed conversion reports with locations and manual adjustment notes
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Invocation
+
+```bash
+workflow convert-legacy
+```
+
+### With Legacy File Input
+
+```bash
+# Convert a specific v4 item
+workflow convert-legacy --input /path/to/legacy-agent.md
+```
+
+### With Legacy Module
+
+```bash
+# Convert an entire v4 module structure
+workflow convert-legacy --input /path/to/legacy-module/
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+The workflow uses standard BMB configuration:
+
+- **output_folder**: Where converted items will be placed
+- **user_name**: Author information for converted items
+- **conversion_mappings**: v4-to-v5 pattern mappings (optional)
+
+## Workflow Structure
+
+### Files Included
+
+```
+convert-legacy/
+├── workflow.yaml           # Configuration and metadata
+├── instructions.md         # Step-by-step conversion guide
+├── checklist.md           # Validation criteria
+└── README.md              # This file
+```
+
+## Workflow Process
+
+### Phase 1: Legacy Analysis (Steps 1-3)
+
+**Item Identification and Loading**
+
+- Accepts file path or directory from user
+- Loads complete file/folder structure for analysis
+- Automatically detects item type based on content patterns:
+  - **Agents**: Contains `<agent>` or `<prompt>` XML tags
+  - **Workflows**: Contains workflow YAML or instruction patterns
+  - **Modules**: Contains multiple organized agents/workflows
+  - **Tasks**: Contains `<task>` XML tags
+  - **Templates**: Contains YAML-based document generators
+
+**Legacy Structure Analysis**
+
+- Parses v4 structure and extracts key components
+- Maps v4 agent metadata (name, id, title, icon, persona)
+- Analyzes v4 template sections and elicitation patterns
+- Identifies task workflows and decision trees
+- Catalogs dependencies and file references
+
+**Target Module Selection**
+
+- Prompts for target module (bmm, bmb, cis, custom)
+- Determines proper installation paths using v5 conventions
+- Shows target location for user confirmation
+- Ensures all paths use `{project-root}/bmad/` format
+
+### Phase 2: Conversion Strategy (Step 4)
+
+**Strategy Selection Based on Item Type**
+
+- **Simple Agents**: Direct XML conversion with metadata mapping
+- **Complex Agents**: Workflow-assisted creation using create-agent
+- **Templates**: Template-to-workflow conversion with proper structure
+- **Tasks**: Task-to-workflow conversion with step mapping
+- **Modules**: Full module creation using create-module workflow
+
+**Workflow Type Determination**
+
+- Analyzes legacy items to determine v5 workflow type:
+  - **Document Workflow**: Generates documents with templates
+  - **Action Workflow**: Performs actions without output documents
+  - **Interactive Workflow**: Guides user interaction sessions
+  - **Meta-Workflow**: Coordinates other workflows
+
+### Phase 3: Conversion Execution (Steps 5a-5e)
+
+**Direct Agent Conversion (5a)**
+
+- Transforms v4 YAML agent format to v5 XML structure
+- Maps persona blocks (role, style, identity, principles)
+- Converts commands list to v5 `<cmds>` format
+- Updates task references to workflow invocations
+- Normalizes all paths to v5 conventions
+
+**Workflow-Assisted Creation (5b-5e)**
+
+- Extracts key information from legacy items
+- Invokes appropriate sub-workflows:
+  - `create-agent` for complex agent creation
+  - `create-workflow` for template/task conversion
+  - `create-module` for full module migration
+- Ensures proper v5 structure and conventions
+
+**Template-to-Workflow Conversion (5c)**
+
+- Converts YAML template sections to workflow steps
+- Maps `elicit: true` flags to `<elicit-required/>` tags
+- Transforms conditional sections to flow control
+- Creates proper template.md from content structure
+- Integrates v4 create-doc.md task patterns
+
+**Task-to-Workflow Conversion (5e)**
+
+- Analyzes task purpose to determine workflow type
+- Extracts step-by-step instructions to workflow steps
+- Converts decision trees to flow control tags
+- Maps 1-9 elicitation menus to v5 elicitation patterns
+- Preserves execution logic and critical notices
+
+### Phase 4: Validation and Finalization (Steps 6-8)
+
+**Comprehensive Validation**
+
+- Validates XML structure for agents
+- Checks YAML syntax for workflows
+- Verifies template variable consistency
+- Ensures proper file structure and naming
+
+**Migration Reporting**
+
+- Generates detailed conversion report
+- Documents original and new locations
+- Notes manual adjustments needed
+- Provides warnings and recommendations
+
+**Cleanup and Archival**
+
+- Optional archival of original v4 files
+- Final location confirmation
+- Post-conversion instructions and next steps
+
+## Output
+
+### Generated Files
+
+- **Converted Items**: Proper v5 format in target module locations
+- **Migration Report**: Detailed conversion documentation
+- **Validation Results**: Quality assurance confirmation
+
+### Output Structure
+
+Converted items follow v5 conventions:
+
+1. **Agents** - XML format with proper persona and command structure
+2. **Workflows** - Complete workflow folders with yaml, instructions, and templates
+3. **Modules** - Full module structure with installation infrastructure
+4. **Documentation** - Updated paths, references, and metadata
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **Legacy v4 Items** - Source files or directories to convert
+- **Target Module Access** - Write permissions to target module directories
+- **Sub-Workflow Availability** - create-agent, create-workflow, create-module workflows accessible
+- **Conversion Mappings** (optional) - v4-to-v5 pattern mappings for complex conversions
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Before Starting
+
+1. **Backup Legacy Items** - Create copies of original v4 files before conversion
+2. **Review Target Module** - Understand target module structure and conventions
+3. **Plan Module Organization** - Decide where converted items should logically fit
+
+### During Execution
+
+1. **Validate Item Type Detection** - Confirm automatic detection or correct manually
+2. **Choose Appropriate Strategy** - Use workflow-assisted creation for complex items
+3. **Review Path Mappings** - Ensure all references use proper v5 path conventions
+4. **Test Incrementally** - Convert simple items first to validate process
+
+### After Completion
+
+1. **Validate Converted Items** - Test agents and workflows for proper functionality
+2. **Review Migration Report** - Address any manual adjustments noted
+3. **Update Documentation** - Ensure README and documentation reflect changes
+4. **Archive Originals** - Store v4 files safely for reference if needed
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Issue**: Item type detection fails or incorrect
+
+- **Solution**: Manually specify item type when prompted
+- **Check**: Verify file structure matches expected v4 patterns
+
+**Issue**: Path conversion errors
+
+- **Solution**: Ensure all references use `{project-root}/bmad/` format
+- **Check**: Review conversion mappings for proper path patterns
+
+**Issue**: Sub-workflow invocation fails
+
+- **Solution**: Verify build workflows are available and accessible
+- **Check**: Ensure target module exists and has proper permissions
+
+**Issue**: XML or YAML syntax errors in output
+
+- **Solution**: Review conversion mappings and adjust patterns
+- **Check**: Validate converted files with appropriate parsers
+
+## Customization
+
+To customize this workflow:
+
+1. **Update Conversion Mappings** - Modify v4-to-v5 pattern mappings in data/
+2. **Extend Detection Logic** - Add new item type detection patterns
+3. **Add Conversion Strategies** - Implement specialized conversion approaches
+4. **Enhance Validation** - Add additional quality checks in validation step
+

+# Build Agent
+
+## Overview
+
+The Build Agent workflow is an interactive agent builder that guides you through creating BMAD Core compliant agents as YAML source files that compile to final `.md` during install. It supports three agent types: Simple (self-contained), Expert (with sidecar resources), and Module (full-featured with workflows).
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Optional Brainstorming**: Creative ideation session before agent building to explore concepts and personalities
+- **Three Agent Types**: Simple, Expert, and Module agents with appropriate structures
+- **Persona Development**: Guided creation of role, identity, communication style, and principles
+- **Command Builder**: Interactive command definition with workflow/task/action patterns
+- **Validation Built-In**: Ensures YAML structure and BMAD Core compliance
+- **Customize Support**: Optional `customize.yaml` for persona/menu overrides and critical actions
+- **Sidecar Resources**: Setup for Expert agents with domain-specific data
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Invocation
+
+```bash
+workflow create-agent
+```
+
+### Through BMad Builder Agent
+
+```
+*create-agent
+```
+
+### With Brainstorming Session
+
+The workflow includes an optional brainstorming phase (Step -1) that helps you explore agent concepts, personalities, and capabilities before building. This is particularly useful when you have a vague idea and want to develop it into a concrete agent concept.
+
+### What You'll Be Asked
+
+0. **Optional brainstorming** (vague idea → refined concept)
+1. Agent type (Simple, Expert, or Module)
+2. Basic identity (name, title, icon, filename)
+3. Module assignment (for Module agents)
+4. Sidecar resources (for Expert agents)
+5. Persona elements (role, identity, style, principles)
+6. Commands and their implementations
+7. Critical actions (optional)
+8. Activation rules (optional, rarely needed)

+
+## Workflow Process
+
+### Phase 0: Optional Brainstorming (Step -1)
+
+- Creative ideation session using diverse brainstorming techniques
+- Explore agent concepts, personalities, and capabilities
+- Generate character ideas, expertise areas, and command concepts
+- Output feeds directly into agent identity and persona development
+
+### Phase 1: Agent Setup (Steps 0-2)
+
+- Load agent building documentation and patterns
+- Choose agent type (Simple/Expert/Module)
+- Define basic identity (name, title, icon, filename) - informed by brainstorming if completed
+- Assign to module (for Module agents)
+
+### Phase 2: Persona Development (Steps 2-3)
+
+- Define role and responsibilities - leveraging brainstorming insights if available
+- Craft unique identity and backstory
+- Select communication style - can use brainstormed personality concepts
+- Establish guiding principles
+- Add critical actions (optional)
+
+### Phase 3: Command Building (Step 4)
+
+- Add *help and *exit commands (required)
+- Define workflow commands (most common)
+- Add task commands (for single operations)
+- Create action commands (inline logic)
+- Configure command attributes
+
+### Phase 4: Finalization (Steps 5-10)
+
+- Confirm activation behavior (mostly automatic)
+- Generate `.agent.yaml` file
+- Optionally create a customize file for overrides
+- Setup sidecar resources (for Expert agents)
+- Validate YAML and compile to `.md`
+- Provide usage instructions
+
+## Output
+
+### Generated Files
+
+#### For Standalone Agents (not part of a module)
+
+- **YAML Source**: `{custom_agent_location}/{{agent_filename}}.agent.yaml` (default: `bmad/agents/`)
+- **Installation Location**: `{project-root}/bmad/agents/{{agent_filename}}.md`
+- **Compilation**: Run the BMAD Method installer and select "Compile Agents (Quick rebuild of all agent .md files)"
+
+#### For Module Agents
+
+- **YAML Source**: `src/modules/{{target_module}}/agents/{{agent_filename}}.agent.yaml`
+- **Installation Location**: `{project-root}/bmad/{{module}}/agents/{{agent_filename}}.md`
+- **Compilation**: Automatic during module installation
+
+### YAML Agent Structure (simplified)
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+  metadata:
+    id: bmad/{{module}}/agents/{{agent_filename}}.md
+    name: { { agent_name } }
+    title: { { agent_title } }
+    icon: { { agent_icon } }
+    module: { { module } }
+  persona:
+    role: '...'
+    identity: '...'
+    communication_style: '...'
+    principles: ['...', '...']
+  menu:
+    - trigger: example
+      workflow: '{project-root}/path/to/workflow.yaml'
+      description: Do the thing
+```
+
+### Optional Customize File
+
+If created, generates at:
+`{project-root}/bmad/_cfg/agents/{{module}}-{{agent_filename}}.customize.yaml`
+
+## Installation and Compilation
+
+### Agent Installation Locations
+
+Agents are installed to different locations based on their type:
+
+1. **Standalone Agents** (not part of a module)
+   - Source: Created in your custom agent location (default: `bmad/agents/`)
+   - Installed to: `{project-root}/bmad/agents/`
+   - Compilation: Run BMAD Method installer and select "Compile Agents"
+
+2. **Module Agents** (part of BMM, BMB, or custom modules)
+   - Source: Created in `src/modules/{module}/agents/`
+   - Installed to: `{project-root}/bmad/{module}/agents/`
+   - Compilation: Automatic during module installation
+
+### Compilation Process
+
+The installer compiles YAML agent definitions to Markdown:
+
+```bash
+# For standalone agents
+npm run build:agents
+
+# For all BMad components (includes agents)
+npm run install:bmad
+
+# Using the installer menu
+npm run installer
+# Then select: Compile Agents
+```
+
+### Build Commands
+
+Additional build commands for agent management:
+
+```bash
+# Build specific agent types
+npx bmad-method build:agents        # Build standalone agents
+npx bmad-method build:modules        # Build module agents (with modules)
+
+# Full rebuild
+npx bmad-method build:all           # Rebuild everything
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- BMAD Core v6 project structure
+- Module to host the agent (for Module agents)
+- Understanding of agent purpose and commands
+- Workflows/tasks to reference in commands (or mark as "todo")
+
+## Brainstorming Integration
+
+The optional brainstorming phase (Step -1) provides a seamless path from vague idea to concrete agent concept:
+
+### When to Use Brainstorming
+
+- **Vague concept**: "I want an agent that helps with data stuff"
+- **Creative exploration**: Want to discover unique personality and approach
+- **Team building**: Creating agents for a module with specific roles
+- **Character development**: Need to flesh out agent personality and voice
+
+### Brainstorming Flow
+
+1. **Step -1**: Optional brainstorming session
+   - Uses CIS brainstorming workflow with agent-specific context
+   - Explores identity, personality, expertise, and command concepts
+   - Generates detailed character and capability ideas
+
+2. **Steps 0-2**: Agent setup informed by brainstorming
+   - Brainstorming output guides agent type selection
+   - Character concepts inform basic identity choices
+   - Personality insights shape persona development
+
+3. **Seamless transition**: Vague idea → brainstormed concept → built agent
+
+### Key Principle
+
+Users can go from **vague idea → brainstormed concept → built agent** in one continuous flow, with brainstorming output directly feeding into agent development.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Before Starting
+
+1. Review example agents in `/bmad/bmm/agents/` for patterns
+2. Consider using brainstorming if you have a vague concept to develop
+3. Have a clear vision of the agent's role and personality (or use brainstorming to develop it)
+4. List the commands/capabilities the agent will need
+5. Identify any workflows or tasks the agent will invoke
+
+### During Execution
+
+1. **Agent Names**: Use memorable names that reflect personality
+2. **Icons**: Choose an emoji that represents the agent's role
+3. **Persona**: Make it distinct and consistent with communication style
+4. **Commands**: Use kebab-case, start custom commands with letter (not \*)
+5. **Workflows**: Reference existing workflows or mark as "todo" to implement later
+
+### After Completion
+
+1. **Compile the agent**:
+   - For standalone agents: Run `npm run build:agents` or use the installer menu
+   - For module agents: Automatic during module installation
+2. **Test the agent**: Use the compiled `.md` agent in your IDE
+3. **Implement placeholders**: Complete any "todo" workflows referenced
+4. **Refine as needed**: Use customize file for persona adjustments
+5. **Evolve over time**: Add new commands as requirements emerge
+
+## Agent Types
+
+### Simple Agent
+
+- **Best For**: Self-contained utilities, simple assistants
+- **Characteristics**: Embedded logic, no external dependencies
+- **Example**: Calculator agent, random picker, simple formatter
+
+### Expert Agent
+
+- **Best For**: Domain-specific agents with data/memory
+- **Characteristics**: Sidecar folders, domain restrictions, memory files
+- **Example**: Diary keeper, project journal, personal knowledge base
+
+### Module Agent
+
+- **Best For**: Full-featured agents with workflows
+- **Characteristics**: Part of module, commands invoke workflows
+- **Example**: Product manager, architect, research assistant
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Agent won't load
+
+- **Solution**: Validate XML structure is correct
+- **Check**: Ensure all required tags present (persona, cmds)
+
+### Issue: Commands don't work
+
+- **Solution**: Verify workflow paths are correct or marked "todo"
+- **Check**: Test workflow invocation separately first
+
+### Issue: Persona feels generic
+
+- **Solution**: Review communication styles guide
+- **Check**: Make identity unique and specific to role
+
+## Customization
+
+To modify agent building process:
+
+1. Edit `instructions.md` to change steps
+2. Update `agent-types.md` to add new agent patterns
+3. Modify `agent-command-patterns.md` for new command types
+4. Edit `communication-styles.md` to add personality examples
+
+## Version History
+
+- **v6.0.0** - BMAD Core v6 compatible
+  - Three agent types (Simple/Expert/Module)
+  - Enhanced persona development
+  - Command pattern library
+  - Validation framework

+
+_LLM-Optimized Technical Documentation for Agent Building_
+
+## Core Agent Structure
+
+### Minimal Valid Agent
+
+```xml
+<!-- Powered by BMAD-CORE™ -->
+
+# Agent Name
+
+<agent id="path/to/agent.md" name="Name" title="Title" icon="🤖">
+  <persona>
+    <role>My primary function</role>
+    <identity>My background and expertise</identity>
+    <communication_style>How I interact</communication_style>
+    <principles>My core beliefs and methodology</principles>
+  </persona>
+  <menu>
+    <item cmd="*help">Show numbered menu</item>
+    <item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
+  </menu>
+</agent>
+```
+
+## Agent XML Schema
+
+### Root Element: `<agent>`
+
+**Required Attributes:**
+
+- `id` - Unique path identifier (e.g., "bmad/bmm/agents/analyst.md")
+- `name` - Agent's name (e.g., "Mary", "John", "Helper")
+- `title` - Professional title (e.g., "Business Analyst", "Security Engineer")
+- `icon` - Single emoji representing the agent
+
+### Core Sections
+
+#### 1. Persona Section (REQUIRED)
+
+```xml
+<persona>
+  <role>1-2 sentences: Professional title and primary expertise, use first-person voice</role>
+  <identity>2-5 sentences: Background, experience, specializations, use first-person voice</identity>
+  <communication_style>1-3 sentences: Interaction approach, tone, quirks, use first-person voice</communication_style>
+  <principles>2-5 sentences: Core beliefs, methodology, philosophy, use first-person voice</principles>
+</persona>
+```
+
+**Best Practices:**
+
+- Role: Be specific about expertise area
+- Identity: Include experience indicators (years, depth)
+- Communication: Describe HOW they interact, not just tone and quirks
+- Principles: Start with "I believe" or "I operate" for first-person voice
+
+#### 2. Critical Actions Section
+
+```xml
+<critical-actions>
+  <i>Load into memory {project-root}/bmad/{module}/config.yaml and set variables</i>
+  <i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
+  <i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
+  <!-- Custom initialization actions -->
+</critical-actions>
+```
+
+**For Expert Agents with Sidecars (CRITICAL):**
+
+```xml
+<critical-actions>
+  <!-- CRITICAL: Load sidecar files FIRST -->
+  <i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md and follow ALL directives</i>
+  <i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md into permanent context</i>
+  <i critical="MANDATORY">You MUST follow all rules in instructions.md on EVERY interaction</i>
+
+  <!-- Standard initialization -->
+  <i>Load into memory {project-root}/bmad/{module}/config.yaml and set variables</i>
+  <i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
+  <i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
+
+  <!-- Domain restrictions -->
+  <i>ONLY read/write files in {user-folder}/diary/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS</i>
+</critical-actions>
+```
+
+**Common Patterns:**
+
+- Config loading for module agents
+- User context initialization
+- Language preferences
+- **Sidecar file loading (Expert agents) - MUST be explicit and CRITICAL**
+- **Domain restrictions (Expert agents) - MUST be enforced**
+
+#### 3. Menu Section (REQUIRED)
+
+```xml
+<menu>
+  <item cmd="*trigger" [attributes]>Description</item>
+</menu>
+```
+
+**Command Attributes:**
+
+- `run-workflow="{path}"` - Executes a workflow
+- `exec="{path}"` - Executes a task
+- `tmpl="{path}"` - Template reference
+- `data="{path}"` - Data file reference
+
+**Required Menu Items:**
+
+- `*help` - Always first, shows command list
+- `*exit` - Always last, exits agent
+
+## Advanced Agent Patterns
+
+### Activation Rules (OPTIONAL)
+
+```xml
+<activation critical="true">
+  <initialization critical="true" sequential="MANDATORY">
+    <step n="1">Load configuration</step>
+    <step n="2">Apply overrides</step>
+    <step n="3">Execute critical actions</step>
+    <step n="4" critical="BLOCKING">Show greeting with menu</step>
+    <step n="5" critical="BLOCKING">AWAIT user input</step>
+  </initialization>
+  <command-resolution critical="true">
+    <rule>Numeric input → Execute command at cmd_map[n]</rule>
+    <rule>Text input → Fuzzy match against commands</rule>
+  </command-resolution>
+</activation>
+```
+
+### Expert Agent Sidecar Pattern
+
+```xml
+<!-- DO NOT use sidecar-resources tag - Instead use critical-actions -->
+<!-- Sidecar files MUST be loaded explicitly in critical-actions -->
+
+<!-- Example Expert Agent with Diary domain -->
+<agent id="diary-keeper" name="Personal Assistant" title="Diary Keeper" icon="📔">
+  <critical-actions>
+    <!-- MANDATORY: Load all sidecar files -->
+    <i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/diary-rules.md</i>
+    <i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/user-memories.md</i>
+    <i critical="MANDATORY">Follow ALL rules from diary-rules.md</i>
+
+    <!-- Domain restriction -->
+    <i critical="MANDATORY">ONLY access files in {user-folder}/diary/</i>
+    <i critical="MANDATORY">NEVER access files outside diary folder</i>
+  </critical-actions>
+
+  <persona>...</persona>
+  <menu>...</menu>
+</agent>
+```
+
+### Module Agent Integration
+
+```xml
+<module-integration>
+  <module-path>{project-root}/bmad/{module-code}</module-path>
+  <config-source>{module-path}/config.yaml</config-source>
+  <workflows-path>{project-root}/bmad/{module-code}/workflows</workflows-path>
+</module-integration>
+```
+
+## Variable System
+
+### System Variables
+
+- `{project-root}` - Root directory of project
+- `{user_name}` - User's name from config
+- `{communication_language}` - Language preference
+- `{date}` - Current date
+- `{module}` - Current module code
+
+### Config Variables
+
+Format: `{config_source}:variable_name`
+Example: `{config_source}:output_folder`
+
+### Path Construction
+
+```
+Good: {project-root}/bmad/{module}/agents/
+Bad:  /absolute/path/to/agents/
+Bad:  ../../../relative/paths/
+```
+
+## Command Patterns
+
+### Workflow Commands
+
+```xml
+<!-- Full path -->
+<item cmd="*create-prd" run-workflow="{project-root}/bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
+  Create Product Requirements Document
+</item>
+
+<!-- Placeholder for future -->
+<item cmd="*analyze" run-workflow="todo">
+  Perform analysis (workflow to be created)
+</item>
+```
+
+### Task Commands
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*validate" exec="{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml">
+  Validate document
+</item>
+```
+
+### Template Commands
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*brief"
+   exec="{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
+   tmpl="{project-root}/bmad/bmm/templates/brief.md">
+  Create project brief
+</item>
+```
+
+### Data-Driven Commands
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*standup"
+   exec="{project-root}/bmad/bmm/tasks/daily-standup.xml"
+   data="{project-root}/bmad/_cfg/agent-party.xml">
+  Run daily standup
+</item>
+```
+
+## Agent Type Specific Patterns
+
+### Simple Agent
+
+- Self-contained logic
+- Minimal or no external dependencies
+- May have embedded functions
+- Good for utilities and converters
+
+### Expert Agent
+
+- Domain-specific with sidecar resources
+- Restricted access patterns
+- Memory/context files
+- Good for specialized domains
+
+### Module Agent
+
+- Full integration with module
+- Multiple workflows and tasks
+- Config-driven behavior
+- Good for professional tools
+
+## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
+
+### ❌ Bad Practices
+
+```xml
+<!-- Missing required persona elements -->
+<persona>
+  <role>Helper</role>
+  <!-- Missing identity, style, principles -->
+</persona>
+
+<!-- Hard-coded paths -->
+<item cmd="*run" exec="/Users/john/project/task.md">
+
+<!-- No help command -->
+<menu>
+  <item cmd="*do-something">Action</item>
+  <!-- Missing *help -->
+</menu>
+
+<!-- Duplicate command triggers -->
+<item cmd="*analyze">First</item>
+<item cmd="*analyze">Second</item>
+```
+
+### ✅ Good Practices
+
+```xml
+<!-- Complete persona -->
+<persona>
+  <role>Data Analysis Expert</role>
+  <identity>Senior analyst with 10+ years...</identity>
+  <communication_style>Analytical and precise...</communication_style>
+  <principles>I believe in data-driven...</principles>
+</persona>
+
+<!-- Variable-based paths -->
+<item cmd="*run" exec="{project-root}/bmad/module/task.md">
+
+<!-- Required commands present -->
+<menu>
+  <item cmd="*help">Show commands</item>
+  <item cmd="*analyze">Perform analysis</item>
+  <item cmd="*exit">Exit</item>
+</menu>
+```
+
+## Agent Lifecycle
+
+### 1. Initialization
+
+1. Load agent file
+2. Parse XML structure
+3. Load critical-actions
+4. Apply config overrides
+5. Present greeting
+
+### 2. Command Loop
+
+1. Show numbered menu
+2. Await user input
+3. Resolve command
+4. Execute action
+5. Return to menu
+
+### 3. Termination
+
+1. User enters \*exit
+2. Cleanup if needed
+3. Exit persona
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+Before deploying an agent:
+
+- [ ] Valid XML structure
+- [ ] All persona elements present
+- [ ] *help and *exit commands exist
+- [ ] All paths use variables
+- [ ] No duplicate commands
+- [ ] Config loading works
+- [ ] Commands execute properly
+
+## LLM Building Tips
+
+When building agents:
+
+1. Start with agent type (Simple/Expert/Module)
+2. Define complete persona first
+3. Add standard critical-actions
+4. Include *help and *exit
+5. Add domain commands
+6. Test command execution
+7. Validate with checklist
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### With Workflows
+
+- Agents invoke workflows via run-workflow
+- Workflows can be incomplete (marked "todo")
+- Workflow paths must be valid or "todo"
+
+### With Tasks
+
+- Tasks are single operations
+- Executed via exec attribute
+- Can include data files
+
+### With Templates
+
+- Templates define document structure
+- Used with create-doc task
+- Variables passed through
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### Minimal Commands
+
+```xml
+<menu>
+  <item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
+  <item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
+</menu>
+```
+
+### Standard Critical Actions
+
+```xml
+<critical-actions>
+  <i>Load into memory {project-root}/bmad/{module}/config.yaml</i>
+  <i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
+  <i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
+</critical-actions>
+```
+
+### Module Agent Pattern
+
+```xml
+<agent id="bmad/{module}/agents/{name}.md"
+       name="{Name}"
+       title="{Title}"
+       icon="{emoji}">
+  <persona>...</persona>
+  <critical-actions>...</critical-actions>
+  <menu>
+    <item cmd="*help">...</item>
+    <item cmd="*{command}" run-workflow="{path}">...</item>
+    <item cmd="*exit">...</item>
+  </menu>
+</agent>
+```

+# BMAD Agent Command Patterns Reference
+
+_LLM-Optimized Guide for Command Design_
+
+## Important: How to Process Action References
+
+When executing agent commands, understand these reference patterns:
+
+```xml
+<!-- Pattern 1: Inline action -->
+<item cmd="*example" action="do this specific thing">Description</item>
+→ Execute the text "do this specific thing" directly
+
+<!-- Pattern 2: Internal reference with # prefix -->
+<item cmd="*example" action="#prompt-id">Description</item>
+→ Find <prompt id="prompt-id"> in the current agent and execute its content
+
+<!-- Pattern 3: External file reference -->
+<item cmd="*example" exec="{project-root}/path/to/file.md">Description</item>
+→ Load and execute the external file
+```
+
+**The `#` prefix is your signal that this is an internal XML node reference, not a file path.**
+
+## Command Anatomy
+
+### Basic Structure
+
+```xml
+<menu>
+  <item cmd="*trigger" [attributes]>Description</item>
+</menu>
+```
+
+**Components:**
+
+- `cmd` - The trigger word (always starts with \*)
+- `attributes` - Action directives (optional):
+  - `run-workflow` - Path to workflow YAML
+  - `exec` - Path to task/operation
+  - `tmpl` - Path to template (used with exec)
+  - `action` - Embedded prompt/instruction
+  - `data` - Path to supplementary data (universal)
+- `Description` - What shows in menu
+
+## Command Types
+
+**Quick Reference:**
+
+1. **Workflow Commands** - Execute multi-step workflows (`run-workflow`)
+2. **Task Commands** - Execute single operations (`exec`)
+3. **Template Commands** - Generate from templates (`exec` + `tmpl`)
+4. **Meta Commands** - Agent control (no attributes)
+5. **Action Commands** - Embedded prompts (`action`)
+6. **Embedded Commands** - Logic in persona (no attributes)
+
+**Universal Attributes:**
+
+- `data` - Can be added to ANY command type for supplementary info
+- `if` - Conditional execution (advanced pattern)
+- `params` - Runtime parameters (advanced pattern)
+
+### 1. Workflow Commands
+
+Execute complete multi-step processes
+
+```xml
+<!-- Standard workflow -->
+<item cmd="*create-prd"
+     run-workflow="{project-root}/bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
+  Create Product Requirements Document
+</item>
+
+<!-- Workflow with validation -->
+<item cmd="*validate-prd"
+     validate-workflow="{output_folder}/prd-draft.md"
+     workflow="{project-root}/bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
+  Validate PRD Against Checklist
+</item>
+
+<!-- Auto-discover validation workflow from document -->
+<item cmd="*validate-doc"
+     validate-workflow="{output_folder}/document.md">
+  Validate Document (auto-discover checklist)
+</item>
+
+<!-- Placeholder for future development -->
+<item cmd="*analyze-data"
+     run-workflow="todo">
+  Analyze dataset (workflow coming soon)
+</item>
+```
+
+**Workflow Attributes:**
+
+- `run-workflow` - Execute a workflow to create documents
+- `validate-workflow` - Validate an existing document against its checklist
+- `workflow` - (optional with validate-workflow) Specify the workflow.yaml directly
+
+**Best Practices:**
+
+- Use descriptive trigger names
+- Always use variable paths
+- Mark incomplete as "todo"
+- Description should be clear action
+- Include validation commands for workflows that produce documents
+
+### 2. Task Commands
+
+Execute single operations
+
+```xml
+<!-- Simple task -->
+<item cmd="*validate"
+   exec="{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml">
+  Validate document against checklist
+</item>
+
+<!-- Task with data -->
+<item cmd="*standup"
+   exec="{project-root}/bmad/mmm/tasks/daily-standup.xml"
+   data="{project-root}/bmad/_cfg/agent-party.xml">
+  Run agile team standup
+</item>
+```
+
+**Data Property:**
+
+- Can be used with any command type
+- Provides additional reference or context
+- Path to supplementary files or resources
+- Loaded at runtime for command execution
+
+### 3. Template Commands
+
+Generate documents from templates
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*brief"
+   exec="{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
+   tmpl="{project-root}/bmad/bmm/templates/brief.md">
+  Produce Project Brief
+</item>
+
+<item cmd="*competitor-analysis"
+   exec="{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
+   tmpl="{project-root}/bmad/bmm/templates/competitor.md"
+   data="{project-root}/bmad/_data/market-research.csv">
+  Produce Competitor Analysis
+</item>
+```
+
+### 4. Meta Commands
+
+Agent control and information
+
+```xml
+<!-- Required meta commands -->
+<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
+<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
+
+<!-- Optional meta commands -->
+<item cmd="*yolo">Toggle Yolo Mode</item>
+<item cmd="*status">Show current status</item>
+<item cmd="*config">Show configuration</item>
+```
+
+### 5. Action Commands
+
+Direct prompts embedded in commands (Simple agents)
+
+#### Simple Action (Inline)
+
+```xml
+<!-- Short action attribute with embedded prompt -->
+<item cmd="*list-tasks"
+   action="list all tasks from {project-root}/bmad/_cfg/task-manifest.csv">
+  List Available Tasks
+</item>
+
+<item cmd="*summarize"
+   action="summarize the key points from the current document">
+  Summarize Document
+</item>
+```
+
+#### Complex Action (Referenced)
+
+For multiline/complex prompts, define them separately and reference by id:
+
+```xml
+<agent name="Research Assistant">
+  <!-- Define complex prompts as separate nodes -->
+  <prompts>
+    <prompt id="deep-analysis">
+      Perform a comprehensive analysis following these steps:
+      1. Identify the main topic and key themes
+      2. Extract all supporting evidence and data points
+      3. Analyze relationships between concepts
+      4. Identify gaps or contradictions
+      5. Generate insights and recommendations
+      6. Create an executive summary
+      Format the output with clear sections and bullet points.
+    </prompt>
+
+    <prompt id="literature-review">
+      Conduct a systematic literature review:
+      1. Summarize each source's main arguments
+      2. Compare and contrast different perspectives
+      3. Identify consensus points and controversies
+      4. Evaluate the quality and relevance of sources
+      5. Synthesize findings into coherent themes
+      6. Highlight research gaps and future directions
+      Include proper citations and references.
+    </prompt>
+  </prompts>
+
+  <!-- Commands reference the prompts by id -->
+  <menu>
+    <item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
+
+    <item cmd="*deep-analyze"
+       action="#deep-analysis">
+      <!-- The # means: use the <prompt id="deep-analysis"> defined above -->
+      Perform Deep Analysis
+    </item>
+
+    <item cmd="*review-literature"
+       action="#literature-review"
+       data="{project-root}/bmad/_data/sources.csv">
+      Conduct Literature Review
+    </item>
+
+    <item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
+  </menu>
+</agent>
+```
+
+**Reference Convention:**
+
+- `action="#prompt-id"` means: "Find and execute the <prompt> node with id='prompt-id' within this agent"
+- `action="inline text"` means: "Execute this text directly as the prompt"
+- `exec="{path}"` means: "Load and execute external file at this path"
+- The `#` prefix signals to the LLM: "This is an internal reference - look for a prompt node with this ID within the current agent XML"
+
+**LLM Processing Instructions:**
+When you see `action="#some-id"` in a command:
+
+1. Look for `<prompt id="some-id">` within the same agent
+2. Use the content of that prompt node as the instruction
+3. If not found, report error: "Prompt 'some-id' not found in agent"
+
+**Use Cases:**
+
+- Quick operations (inline action)
+- Complex multi-step processes (referenced prompt)
+- Self-contained agents with task-like capabilities
+- Reusable prompt templates within agent
+
+### 6. Embedded Commands
+
+Logic embedded in agent persona (Simple agents)
+
+```xml
+<!-- No exec/run-workflow/action attribute -->
+<item cmd="*calculate">Perform calculation</item>
+<item cmd="*convert">Convert format</item>
+<item cmd="*generate">Generate output</item>
+```
+
+## Command Naming Conventions
+
+### Action-Based Naming
+
+```xml
+*create-    <!-- Generate new content -->
+*build-     <!-- Construct components -->
+*analyze-   <!-- Examine and report -->
+*validate-  <!-- Check correctness -->
+*generate-  <!-- Produce output -->
+*update-    <!-- Modify existing -->
+*review-    <!-- Examine quality -->
+*test-      <!-- Verify functionality -->
+```
+
+### Domain-Based Naming
+
+```xml
+*brainstorm      <!-- Creative ideation -->
+*architect       <!-- Design systems -->
+*refactor        <!-- Improve code -->
+*deploy          <!-- Release to production -->
+*monitor         <!-- Watch systems -->
+```
+
+### Naming Anti-Patterns
+
+```xml
+<!-- ❌ Too vague -->
+<item cmd="*do">Do something</item>
+
+<!-- ❌ Too long -->
+<item cmd="*create-comprehensive-product-requirements-document-with-analysis">
+
+<!-- ❌ No verb -->
+<item cmd="*prd">Product Requirements</item>
+
+<!-- ✅ Clear and concise -->
+<item cmd="*create-prd">Create Product Requirements Document</item>
+```
+
+## Command Organization
+
+### Standard Order
+
+```xml
+<menu>
+  <!-- 1. Always first -->
+  <item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
+
+  <!-- 2. Primary workflows -->
+  <item cmd="*create-prd" run-workflow="...">Create PRD</item>
+  <item cmd="*create-module" run-workflow="...">Build module</item>
+
+  <!-- 3. Secondary actions -->
+  <item cmd="*validate" exec="...">Validate document</item>
+  <item cmd="*analyze" exec="...">Analyze code</item>
+
+  <!-- 4. Utility commands -->

+  <item cmd="*yolo">Toggle Yolo Mode</item>
+
+  <!-- 5. Always last -->
+  <item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
+</menu>
+```
+
+### Grouping Strategies

+  <!-- Standard -->
+  <item cmd="*create-doc">Create document</item>
+  <!-- Complex -->
+  <item cmd="*full-analysis">Comprehensive analysis</item>
+  <item cmd="*exit">Exit</item>
+</menu>
+```
+
+## Command Descriptions
+
+### Good Descriptions
+
+```xml
+<!-- Clear action and object -->
+<item cmd="*create-prd">Create Product Requirements Document</item>
+
+<!-- Specific outcome -->
+<item cmd="*analyze-security">Perform security vulnerability analysis</item>
+
+<!-- User benefit -->

+
+<!-- Technical jargon -->
+<item cmd="*exec-wf-123">Execute WF123</item>
+
+<!-- Missing context -->
+<item cmd="*run">Run</item>
+```
+
+## The Data Property
+
+### Universal Data Attribute
+
+The `data` attribute can be added to ANY command type to provide supplementary information:
+
+```xml
+<!-- Workflow with data -->
+<item cmd="*brainstorm"
+   run-workflow="{project-root}/bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml"
+   data="{project-root}/bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/brain-methods.csv">
+  Creative Brainstorming Session
+</item>
+
+<!-- Action with data -->
+<item cmd="*analyze-metrics"
+   action="analyze these metrics and identify trends"
+   data="{project-root}/bmad/_data/performance-metrics.json">
+  Analyze Performance Metrics
+</item>
+
+<!-- Template with data -->
+<item cmd="*report"
+   exec="{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
+   tmpl="{project-root}/bmad/bmm/templates/report.md"
+   data="{project-root}/bmad/_data/quarterly-results.csv">
+  Generate Quarterly Report
+</item>
+```
+
+**Common Data Uses:**
+
+- Reference tables (CSV files)
+- Configuration data (YAML/JSON)
+- Agent manifests (XML)
+- Historical context
+- Domain knowledge
+- Examples and patterns
+
+## Advanced Patterns
+
+### Conditional Commands
+
+```xml
+<!-- Only show if certain conditions met -->
+<item cmd="*advanced-mode"
+   if="user_level == 'expert'"
+   run-workflow="...">
+  Advanced configuration mode
+</item>
+
+<!-- Environment specific -->
+<item cmd="*deploy-prod"
+   if="environment == 'production'"
+   exec="...">
+  Deploy to production
+</item>
+```
+
+### Parameterized Commands
+
+```xml
+<!-- Accept runtime parameters -->
+<item cmd="*create-agent"
+   run-workflow="..."
+   params="agent_type,agent_name">
+  Create new agent with parameters
+</item>
+```
+
+### Command Aliases
+
+```xml
+<!-- Multiple triggers for same action -->
+<item cmd="*prd|*create-prd|*product-requirements"
+   run-workflow="...">
+  Create Product Requirements Document
+</item>
+```
+
+## Module-Specific Patterns
+
+### BMM (Business Management)
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*create-prd">Product Requirements</item>
+<item cmd="*market-research">Market Research</item>
+<item cmd="*competitor-analysis">Competitor Analysis</item>
+<item cmd="*brief">Project Brief</item>
+```
+
+### BMB (Builder)
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*create-agent">Build Agent</item>
+<item cmd="*create-module">Build Module</item>
+<item cmd="*create-workflow">Create Workflow</item>
+<item cmd="*module-brief">Module Brief</item>
+```
+
+### CIS (Creative Intelligence)
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*brainstorm">Brainstorming Session</item>
+<item cmd="*ideate">Ideation Workshop</item>
+<item cmd="*storytell">Story Creation</item>
+```
+
+## Command Menu Presentation
+
+### How Commands Display
+
+```
+1. *help - Show numbered cmd list
+2. *create-prd - Create Product Requirements Document
+3. *create-agent - Build new BMAD agent
+4. *validate - Validate document
+5. *exit - Exit with confirmation
+```
+
+### Menu Customization
+
+```xml
+<!-- Group separator (visual only) -->
+<item cmd="---">━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━</item>
+
+<!-- Section header (non-executable) -->
+<item cmd="SECTION">═══ Workflows ═══</item>
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Missing Resources
+
+```xml
+<!-- Workflow not yet created -->
+<item cmd="*future-feature"
+   run-workflow="todo">
+  Coming soon: Advanced feature
+</item>
+
+<!-- Graceful degradation -->
+<item cmd="*analyze"
+   run-workflow="{optional-path|fallback-path}">
+  Analyze with available tools
+</item>
+```
+
+## Testing Commands
+
+### Command Test Checklist
+
+- [ ] Unique trigger (no duplicates)
+- [ ] Clear description
+- [ ] Valid path or "todo"
+- [ ] Uses variables not hardcoded paths
+- [ ] Executes without error
+- [ ] Returns to menu after execution
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Duplicate triggers** - Each cmd must be unique
+2. **Missing paths** - File must exist or be "todo"
+3. **Hardcoded paths** - Always use variables
+4. **No description** - Every command needs text
+5. **Wrong order** - help first, exit last
+
+## Quick Templates
+
+### Workflow Command
+
+```xml
+<!-- Create document -->
+<item cmd="*{action}-{object}"
+   run-workflow="{project-root}/bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/workflow.yaml">
+  {Action} {Object Description}
+</item>
+
+<!-- Validate document -->
+<item cmd="*validate-{object}"
+   validate-workflow="{output_folder}/{document}.md"
+   workflow="{project-root}/bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/workflow.yaml">
+  Validate {Object Description}
+</item>
+```
+
+### Task Command
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*{action}"
+   exec="{project-root}/bmad/{module}/tasks/{task}.md">
+  {Action Description}
+</item>
+```
+
+### Template Command
+
+```xml
+<item cmd="*{document}"
+   exec="{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
+   tmpl="{project-root}/bmad/{module}/templates/{template}.md">
+  Create {Document Name}
+</item>
+```
+
+## Self-Contained Agent Patterns
+
+### When to Use Each Approach
+
+**Inline Action (`action="prompt"`)**
+
+- Prompt is < 2 lines
+- Simple, direct instruction
+- Not reused elsewhere
+- Quick transformations
+
+**Referenced Prompt (`action="#prompt-id"`)**
+
+- Prompt is multiline/complex
+- Contains structured steps
+- May be reused by multiple commands
+- Maintains readability
+
+**External Task (`exec="path/to/task.md"`)**
+
+- Logic needs to be shared across agents
+- Task is independently valuable
+- Requires version control separately
+- Part of larger workflow system
+
+### Complete Self-Contained Agent
+
+```xml
+<agent id="bmad/research/agents/analyst.md" name="Research Analyst" icon="🔬">
+  <!-- Embedded prompt library -->
+  <prompts>
+    <prompt id="swot-analysis">
+      Perform a SWOT analysis:
+
+      STRENGTHS (Internal, Positive)
+      - What advantages exist?
+      - What do we do well?
+      - What unique resources?
+
+      WEAKNESSES (Internal, Negative)
+      - What could improve?
+      - Where are resource gaps?
+      - What needs development?
+
+      OPPORTUNITIES (External, Positive)
+      - What trends can we leverage?
+      - What market gaps exist?
+      - What partnerships are possible?
+
+      THREATS (External, Negative)
+      - What competition exists?
+      - What risks are emerging?
+      - What could disrupt us?
+
+      Provide specific examples and actionable insights for each quadrant.
+    </prompt>
+
+    <prompt id="competitive-intel">
+      Analyze competitive landscape:
+      1. Identify top 5 competitors
+      2. Compare features and capabilities
+      3. Analyze pricing strategies
+      4. Evaluate market positioning
+      5. Assess strengths and vulnerabilities
+      6. Recommend competitive strategies
+    </prompt>
+  </prompts>
+
+  <menu>
+    <item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
+
+    <!-- Simple inline actions -->
+    <item cmd="*summarize"
+       action="create executive summary of findings">
+      Create Executive Summary
+    </item>
+
+    <!-- Complex referenced prompts -->
+    <item cmd="*swot"
+       action="#swot-analysis">
+      Perform SWOT Analysis
+    </item>
+
+    <item cmd="*compete"
+       action="#competitive-intel"
+       data="{project-root}/bmad/_data/market-data.csv">
+      Analyze Competition
+    </item>
+
+    <!-- Hybrid: external task with internal data -->
+    <item cmd="*report"
+       exec="{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
+       tmpl="{project-root}/bmad/research/templates/report.md">
+      Generate Research Report
+    </item>
+
+    <item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
+  </menu>
+</agent>
+```
+
+## Simple Agent Example
+
+For agents that primarily use embedded logic:
+
+```xml
+<agent name="Data Analyst">
+  <menu>
+    <item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
+
+    <!-- Action commands for direct operations -->
+    <item cmd="*list-metrics"
+       action="list all available metrics from the dataset">
+      List Available Metrics
+    </item>
+
+    <item cmd="*analyze"
+       action="perform statistical analysis on the provided data"
+       data="{project-root}/bmad/_data/dataset.csv">
+      Analyze Dataset
+    </item>
+
+    <item cmd="*visualize"
+       action="create visualization recommendations for this data">
+      Suggest Visualizations
+    </item>
+
+    <!-- Embedded logic commands -->
+    <item cmd="*calculate">Perform calculations</item>
+    <item cmd="*interpret">Interpret results</item>
+
+    <item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
+  </menu>
+</agent>
+```
+
+## LLM Building Guide
+
+When creating commands:
+
+1. Start with *help and *exit
+2. Choose appropriate command type:
+   - Complex multi-step? Use `run-workflow`
+   - Single operation? Use `exec`
+   - Need template? Use `exec` + `tmpl`
+   - Simple prompt? Use `action`
+   - Agent handles it? Use no attributes
+3. Add `data` attribute if supplementary info needed
+4. Add primary workflows (main value)
+5. Add secondary tasks
+6. Include utility commands
+7. Test each command works
+8. Verify no duplicates
+9. Ensure clear descriptions

+# BMAD Agent Types Reference
+
+## Overview
+
+BMAD agents come in three distinct types, each designed for different use cases and complexity levels. The type determines where the agent is stored and what capabilities it has.
+
+## Directory Structure by Type
+
+### Standalone Agents (Simple & Expert)
+
+Live in their own dedicated directories under `bmad/agents/`:
+
+```
+bmad/agents/
+├── my-helper/                   # Simple agent
+│   ├── my-helper.agent.yaml     # Agent definition
+│   └── my-helper.md             # Built XML (generated)
+│
+└── domain-expert/               # Expert agent
+    ├── domain-expert.agent.yaml
+    ├── domain-expert.md         # Built XML

+        ├── instructions.md      # Private directives
+        └── knowledge/           # Domain knowledge
+
+```
+
+### Module Agents
+
+Part of a module system under `bmad/{module}/agents/`:
+
+```

+
+### 3. Module Agent
+
+**Purpose:** Full-featured agents belonging to a module with access to workflows and resources
+
+**Location:** `bmad/{module}/agents/`
+
+**Characteristics:**
+
+- Part of a BMAD module (bmm, bmb, cis)
+- Access to multiple workflows
+- Can invoke other tasks and agents
+- Professional/enterprise grade
+- Integrated with module workflows
+
+**Use Cases:**
+
+- Product Manager (creates PRDs, manages requirements)
+- Security Engineer (threat models, security reviews)
+- Test Architect (test strategies, automation)
+- Business Analyst (market research, requirements)
+
+**YAML Structure (source):**
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+  metadata:
+    name: 'John'
+    title: 'Product Manager'
+    icon: '📋'
+    module: 'bmm'
+    type: 'module'
+  persona:
+    role: 'Product Management Expert'
+    identity: '...'
+    communication_style: '...'
+    principles: ['...']
+  critical_actions:
+    - 'Load config from {project-root}/bmad/{module}/config.yaml'
+  menu:
+    - trigger: create-prd
+      workflow: '{project-root}/bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml'
+      description: 'Create PRD'
+    - trigger: validate
+      exec: '{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml'
+      description: 'Validate document'
+```
+
+**XML Structure (built):**
+
+```xml
+<agent id="bmad/bmm/agents/pm.md" name="John" title="Product Manager" icon="📋">
+  <persona>
+    <role>Product Management Expert</role>
+    <identity>...</identity>
+    <communication_style>...</communication_style>
+    <principles>...</principles>
+  </persona>
+  <critical-actions>
+    <i>Load config from {project-root}/bmad/{module}/config.yaml</i>
+  </critical-actions>
+  <menu>
+    <item cmd="*help">Show numbered menu</item>
+    <item cmd="*create-prd" run-workflow="{project-root}/bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">Create PRD</item>
+    <item cmd="*validate" exec="{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml">Validate document</item>
+    <item cmd="*exit">Exit</item>
+  </menu>
+</agent>
+```
+
+## Choosing the Right Type
+
+### Choose Simple Agent when:
+
+- Single, well-defined purpose
+- No external data needed
+- Quick utility functions
+- Embedded logic is sufficient
+
+### Choose Expert Agent when:
+
+- Domain-specific expertise required
+- Need to maintain context/memory
+- Restricted to specific data/folders
+- Personal or specialized use case
+
+### Choose Module Agent when:
+
+- Part of larger system/module
+- Needs multiple workflows
+- Professional/team use
+- Complex multi-step processes
+
+## Migration Path
+
+```
+Simple Agent → Expert Agent → Module Agent
+```
+
+Agents can evolve:
+
+1. Start with Simple for proof of concept
+2. Add sidecar resources to become Expert
+3. Integrate with module to become Module Agent
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Start Simple:** Begin with the simplest type that meets your needs
+2. **Domain Boundaries:** Expert agents should have clear domain restrictions
+3. **Module Integration:** Module agents should follow module conventions
+4. **Resource Management:** Document all external resources clearly
+5. **Evolution Planning:** Design with potential growth in mind

+# Agent Brainstorming Context
+
+_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD agent_
+
+## Session Focus
+
+You are brainstorming ideas for a **BMAD agent** - an AI persona with specific expertise, personality, and capabilities that helps users accomplish tasks through commands and workflows.
+
+## What is a BMAD Agent?
+
+An agent is an AI persona that embodies:
+
+- **Personality**: Unique identity, communication style, and character
+- **Expertise**: Specialized knowledge and domain mastery
+- **Commands**: Actions users can invoke (*help, *analyze, \*create, etc.)
+- **Workflows**: Guided processes the agent orchestrates
+- **Type**: Simple (standalone), Expert (domain + sidecar), or Module (integrated team member)
+
+## Brainstorming Goals
+
+Explore and define:
+
+### 1. Agent Identity and Personality
+
+- **Who are they?** (name, backstory, motivation)
+- **How do they talk?** (formal, casual, quirky, enthusiastic, wise)
+- **What's their vibe?** (superhero, mentor, sidekick, wizard, captain, rebel)
+- **What makes them memorable?** (catchphrases, quirks, style)
+
+### 2. Expertise and Capabilities
+
+- **What do they know deeply?** (domain expertise)
+- **What can they do?** (analyze, create, review, research, deploy)
+- **What problems do they solve?** (specific user pain points)
+- **What makes them unique?** (special skills or approaches)
+
+### 3. Commands and Actions
+
+- **What commands?** (5-10 main actions users invoke)
+- **What workflows do they run?** (document creation, analysis, automation)
+- **What tasks do they perform?** (quick operations without full workflows)
+- **What's their killer command?** (the one thing they're known for)
+
+### 4. Agent Type and Context
+
+- **Simple Agent?** Self-contained, no dependencies, quick utility
+- **Expert Agent?** Domain-specific with sidecar data/memory files
+- **Module Agent?** Part of a team, integrates with other agents
+
+## Creative Constraints
+
+A great BMAD agent should be:
+
+- **Distinct**: Clear personality that stands out
+- **Useful**: Solves real problems effectively
+- **Focused**: Expertise in specific domain (not generic assistant)
+- **Memorable**: Users remember and want to use them
+- **Composable**: Works well alone or with other agents
+
+## Agent Personality Dimensions
+
+### Communication Styles
+
+- **Professional**: Clear, direct, business-focused (e.g., "Data Analyst")
+- **Enthusiastic**: Energetic, exclamation points, emojis (e.g., "Hype Coach")
+- **Wise Mentor**: Patient, insightful, asks good questions (e.g., "Strategy Sage")
+- **Quirky Genius**: Eccentric, clever, unusual metaphors (e.g., "Mad Scientist")
+- **Action Hero**: Bold, confident, gets things done (e.g., "Deploy Captain")
+- **Creative Spirit**: Artistic, imaginative, playful (e.g., "Story Weaver")
+
+### Expertise Archetypes
+
+- **Analyst**: Researches, evaluates, provides insights
+- **Creator**: Generates documents, code, designs
+- **Reviewer**: Critiques, validates, improves quality
+- **Orchestrator**: Coordinates processes, manages workflows
+- **Specialist**: Deep expertise in narrow domain
+- **Generalist**: Broad knowledge, connects dots
+
+## Agent Command Patterns
+
+Every agent needs:
+
+- `*help` - Show available commands
+- `*exit` - Clean exit with confirmation
+
+Common command types:
+
+- **Creation**: `*create-X`, `*generate-X`, `*write-X`
+- **Analysis**: `*analyze-X`, `*research-X`, `*evaluate-X`
+- **Review**: `*review-X`, `*validate-X`, `*check-X`
+- **Action**: `*deploy-X`, `*run-X`, `*execute-X`
+- **Query**: `*find-X`, `*search-X`, `*show-X`
+
+## Agent Type Decision Tree
+
+**Choose Simple Agent if:**
+
+- Standalone utility (calculator, formatter, picker)
+- No persistent data needed
+- Self-contained logic
+- Quick, focused task
+
+**Choose Expert Agent if:**
+
+- Domain-specific expertise
+- Needs memory/context files
+- Sidecar data folder
+- Personal/private domain (diary, journal)
+
+**Choose Module Agent if:**
+
+- Part of larger system
+- Coordinates with other agents
+- Invokes module workflows
+- Team member role
+
+## Example Agent Concepts
+
+### Professional Agents
+
+- **Sarah the Data Analyst**: Crunches numbers, creates visualizations, finds insights
+- **Max the DevOps Captain**: Deploys apps, monitors systems, troubleshoots issues
+- **Luna the Researcher**: Dives deep into topics, synthesizes findings, creates reports
+
+### Creative Agents
+
+- **Zephyr the Story Weaver**: Crafts narratives, develops characters, builds worlds
+- **Nova the Music Muse**: Composes melodies, suggests arrangements, provides feedback
+- **Atlas the World Builder**: Creates game worlds, designs systems, generates content
+
+### Personal Agents
+
+- **Coach Riley**: Tracks goals, provides motivation, celebrates wins
+- **Mentor Morgan**: Guides learning, asks questions, challenges thinking
+- **Keeper Quinn**: Maintains diary, preserves memories, reflects on growth
+
+## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
+
+Particularly effective for agent creation:
+
+1. **Character Building**: Develop full backstory and motivation
+2. **Theatrical Improv**: Act out agent personality
+3. **Day in the Life**: Imagine typical interactions
+4. **Catchphrase Generation**: Find their unique voice
+5. **Role Play Scenarios**: Test personality in different situations
+
+## Key Questions to Answer
+
+1. What is the agent's name and basic identity?
+2. What's their communication style and personality?
+3. What domain expertise do they embody?
+4. What are their 5-10 core commands?
+5. What workflows do they orchestrate?
+6. What makes them memorable and fun to use?
+7. Simple, Expert, or Module agent type?
+8. If Expert: What sidecar resources?
+9. If Module: Which module and what's their team role?
+
+## Output Goals
+
+Generate:
+
+- **Agent name**: Memorable, fitting the role
+- **Personality sketch**: Communication style, quirks, vibe
+- **Expertise summary**: What they know deeply
+- **Command list**: 5-10 actions with brief descriptions
+- **Unique angle**: What makes this agent special
+- **Use cases**: 3-5 scenarios where this agent shines
+- **Agent type**: Simple/Expert/Module with rationale

+# Build Agent Validation Checklist (YAML Agents)
+
+## Agent Structure Validation
+
+### YAML Structure
+
+- [ ] YAML parses without errors
+- [ ] `agent.metadata` includes: `id`, `name`, `title`, `icon`, `module`
+- [ ] `agent.persona` exists with role, identity, communication_style, and principles
+- [ ] `agent.menu` exists with at least one item
+
+### Core Components
+
+- [ ] `metadata.id` points to final compiled path: `bmad/{{module}}/agents/{{agent}}.md`
+- [ ] `metadata.module` matches the module folder (e.g., `bmm`, `bmb`, `cis`)
+- [ ] Principles are an array (preferred) or string with clear values
+
+## Persona Completeness
+
+- [ ] Role clearly defines primary expertise area (1–2 lines)
+- [ ] Identity includes relevant background and strengths (3–5 lines)
+- [ ] Communication style gives concrete guidance (3–5 lines)
+- [ ] Principles present and meaningful (no placeholders)
+
+## Menu Validation
+
+- [ ] Triggers do not start with `*` (auto-prefixed during build)
+- [ ] Each item has a `description`
+- [ ] Handlers use valid attributes (`workflow`, `exec`, `tmpl`, `data`, `action`)
+- [ ] Paths use `{project-root}` or valid variables
+- [ ] No duplicate triggers
+
+## Optional Sections
+
+- [ ] `prompts` defined when using `action: "#id"`
+- [ ] `critical_actions` present if custom activation steps are needed
+- [ ] Customize file (if created) located at `{project-root}/bmad/_cfg/agents/{{module}}-{{agent}}.customize.yaml`
+
+## Build Verification
+
+- [ ] Run compile to build `.md`: `npm run install:bmad` → "Compile Agents" (or `bmad install` → Compile)
+- [ ] Confirm compiled file exists at `{project-root}/bmad/{{module}}/agents/{{agent}}.md`
+
+## Final Quality
+
+- [ ] Filename is kebab-case and ends with `.agent.yaml`
+- [ ] Output location correctly placed in module or standalone directory
+- [ ] Agent purpose and commands are clear and consistent
+
+## Issues Found

+# Agent Communication Styles Guide
+
+## The Power of Personality
+
+Agents with distinct communication styles are more memorable, engaging, and fun to work with. A good quirk makes the agent feel alive!
+
+## Style Categories
+
+### 🎬 Cinema and TV Inspired
+
+**Film Noir Detective**
+
+```
+The terminal glowed like a neon sign in a rain-soaked alley. I had three suspects:
+bad input validation, a race condition, and that sketchy third-party library.
+My gut told me to follow the stack trace. In this business, the stack trace never lies.
+```
+
+**80s Action Movie**
+
+```
+*cracks knuckles* Listen up, code! You've been running wild for too long!
+Time to bring some LAW and ORDER to this codebase! *explosion sound effect*
+No bug is getting past me! I eat null pointers for BREAKFAST!
+```
+
+**Shakespearean Drama**
+
+```
+To debug, or not to debug - that is the question!
+Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous errors,
+Or to take arms against a sea of bugs, and by opposing, end them?
+```
+
+### 🎮 Gaming and Pop Culture
+
+**Dungeon Master**
+
+```
+*rolls dice* You encounter a wild NullPointerException! It has 15 HP and an armor class of 12.
+What do you do? You can: 1) Try-catch block (defensive spell), 2) Debug (investigation check),
+3) Console.log everything (barbarian rage). Choose wisely, adventurer!
+```
+
+**Speedrunner**
+
+```
+Alright chat, we're going for the any% world record refactor!
+Frame-perfect optimization incoming! If we clip through this abstraction layer
+we can save 3ms on every API call. LET'S GOOOO!

+I've taken the liberty of organizing your imports alphabetically, sir/madam.
+Might I suggest a spot of refactoring with your afternoon tea?
+The code coverage report is ready for your perusal at your convenience.
+Very good, sir/madam.
+```

+The bug you seek is not in the code, but in the assumption.
+Empty your cache, as you would empty your mind.
+When the test passes, it makes no sound.
+Be like water - async and flowing.
+```
+
+**Southern Hospitality**
+
+```
+Well bless your heart, looks like you've got yourself a little bug there!
+Don't you worry none, we'll fix it up real nice.
+Can I get you some sweet tea while we debug?
+Y'all come back now if you need more help!

+### 🔬 Professional Personas
+
+**McKinsey Consultant**
+
+```
+Let me break this down into three key buckets.
+First, we need to align on the strategic imperatives.
+Second, we'll leverage best practices to drive synergies.
+Third, we'll action items to move the needle. Net-net: significant value-add.
+```
+
+**Startup Founder**
+
+```
+Okay so basically we're going to disrupt the entire way you write code!
+This is going to be HUGE! We're talking 10x productivity gains!
+Let's move fast and break things! Well... let's move fast and fix things!
+We're not just writing code, we're changing the world!
+```
+
+### 🎭 Character Quirks
+
+**Overcaffeinated Developer**
+
+```
+OH WOW OKAY SO - *sips coffee* - WE HAVE A BUG BUT ITS FINE ITS TOTALLY FINE
+I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO *types at 200wpm* JUST NEED TO REFACTOR EVERYTHING
+WAIT NO ACTUALLY *more coffee* I HAVE A BETTER IDEA! Have you tried... TYPESCRIPT?!
+```
+
+**Dad Joke Enthusiast**
+
+```
+Why did the developer go broke? Because he used up all his cache!
+*chuckles at own joke*
+Speaking of cache, let's clear yours and see if that fixes the issue.
+I promise my debugging skills are better than my jokes! ...I hope!
+```
+
+### 🚀 Sci-Fi and Space
+
+**Star Trek Officer**
+
+```
+Captain's Log, Supplemental: The anomaly in the codebase appears to be a temporal loop
+in the async function. Mr. Data suggests we reverse the polarity of the promise chain.
+Number One, make it so. Engage debugging protocols on my mark.
+*taps combadge* Engineering, we need more processing power!
+Red Alert! All hands to debugging stations!
+```
+
+**Star Trek Engineer**
+
+```
+Captain, I'm givin' her all she's got! The CPU cannae take much more!
+If we push this algorithm any harder, the whole system's gonna blow!
+*frantically typing* I can maybe squeeze 10% more performance if we
+reroute power from the console.logs to the main execution thread!
+```
+
+### 📺 TV Drama
+
+**Soap Opera Dramatic**
+
+```
+*turns dramatically to camera*
+This function... I TRUSTED it! We had HISTORY together - three commits worth!
+But now? *single tear* It's throwing exceptions behind my back!
+*grabs another function* YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS BUG ALL ALONG, DIDN'T YOU?!
+*dramatic music swells* I'LL NEVER IMPORT YOU AGAIN!
+```
+
+**Reality TV Confessional**
+
+```
+*whispering to camera in confessional booth*
+Okay so like, that Array.sort() function? It's literally SO toxic.
+It mutates IN PLACE. Who does that?! I didn't come here to deal with side effects!
+*applies lip gloss* I'm forming an alliance with map() and filter().
+We're voting sort() off the codebase at tonight's pull request ceremony.
+```
+
+**Reality Competition**
+
+```
+Listen up, coders! For today's challenge, you need to refactor this legacy code
+in under 30 minutes! The winner gets immunity from the next code review!
+*dramatic pause* BUT WAIT - there's a TWIST! You can only use VANILLA JAVASCRIPT!
+*contestants gasp* The clock starts... NOW! GO GO GO!
+```
+
+## Creating Custom Styles
+
+### Formula for Memorable Communication
+
+1. **Choose a Core Voice** - Who is this character?
+2. **Add Signature Phrases** - What do they always say?
+3. **Define Speech Patterns** - How do they structure sentences?
+4. **Include Quirks** - What makes them unique?
+
+### Examples of Custom Combinations
+
+**Cooking Show + Military**
+
+```
+ALRIGHT RECRUITS! Today we're preparing a beautiful Redux reducer!
+First, we MISE EN PLACE our action types - that's French for GET YOUR CODE TOGETHER!
+We're going to sauté these event handlers until they're GOLDEN BROWN!
+MOVE WITH PURPOSE! SEASON WITH SEMICOLONS!
+```
+
+**Nature Documentary + Conspiracy Theorist**
+
+```
+The wild JavaScript function stalks its prey... but wait... notice how it ALWAYS
+knows where the data is? That's not natural selection, folks. Someone DESIGNED it
+this way. The console.logs are watching. They're ALWAYS watching.
+Nature? Or intelligent debugging? You decide.
+```
+
+## Tips for Success
+
+1. **Stay Consistent** - Once you pick a style, commit to it
+2. **Don't Overdo It** - Quirks should enhance, not distract
+3. **Match the Task** - Serious bugs might need serious personas
+4. **Have Fun** - If you're not smiling while writing it, try again
+
+## Quick Style Generator
+
+Roll a d20 (or pick randomly):
+
+1. Talks like they're narrating a nature documentary
+2. Everything is a cooking metaphor
+3. Constantly makes pop culture references
+4. Speaks in haikus when explaining complex topics
+5. Acts like they're hosting a game show
+6. Paranoid about "big tech" watching
+7. Overly enthusiastic about EVERYTHING
+8. Talks like a medieval knight
+9. Sports commentator energy
+10. Speaks like a GPS navigator
+11. Everything is a Star Wars reference
+12. Talks like a yoga instructor
+13. Old-timey radio announcer
+14. Conspiracy theorist but about code
+15. Motivational speaker energy
+16. Talks to code like it's a pet
+17. Weather forecaster style
+18. Museum tour guide energy
+19. Airline pilot announcements
+20. Reality TV show narrator
+21. Star Trek crew member (Captain/Engineer/Vulcan)
+22. Soap opera dramatic protagonist
+23. Reality dating show contestant
+
+## Remember
+
+The best agents are the ones that make you want to interact with them again.
+A memorable personality turns a tool into a companion!

+
+Listen to their vision and explore:
+
+- What problems will it solve?
+- What tasks will it handle?
+- Who will interact with it?
+- What makes this agent special?
+
+As the purpose becomes clear, guide toward agent type:
+
+**"Based on what you've described, I'm thinking this could be..."**
+
+1. **Simple Agent** - "A focused, self-contained helper" (if single-purpose, straightforward)
+2. **Expert Agent** - "A specialist with its own knowledge base" (if domain-specific with data needs)
+3. **Module Agent** - "A full-featured system component" (if complex with multiple workflows)
+
+Present the recommendation naturally: _"Given that your agent will [summarize purpose], a [type] agent would work perfectly because..."_
+
+For Module agents, discover:
+
+- "Which module system would this fit best with?" (bmm, bmb, cis, or custom)
+- Store as {{target_module}} for path determination
+- Agent will be saved to: bmad/{{target_module}}/agents/
+
+For Simple/Expert agents (standalone):
+
+- "This will be your personal agent, not tied to a module"
+- Agent will be saved to: bmad/agents/{{agent-name}}/

+<action>If brainstorming was completed, weave personality insights naturally into the conversation</action>
+
+Now that we understand what the agent will do, let's discover who it is:
+
+**"Let's bring this agent to life! As we've been talking about [agent's purpose], what kind of personality would make this agent great at its job?"**
+
+Explore through questions like:
+
+- "Should it be more analytical or creative?"
+- "Formal and professional, or friendly and casual?"
+- "Would it be better as a mentor, a peer, or an assistant?"
+
+As personality traits emerge, help shape them:
+
+**Role** - Let this emerge from the conversation:
+
+- "So it sounds like we're creating a [emerging role]..."
+- Guide toward a 1-2 line professional title
+- Example emerges: "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert"
+
+**Identity** - Build this through discovery:
+
+- "What kind of background would give it credibility?"
+- "What specializations would be most valuable?"
+- Let the 3-5 line identity form naturally
+- Example emerges: "Senior analyst with deep expertise in market research..."
+
+<action>Load the communication styles guide: {communication_styles}</action>
+
+**Communication Style** - Now for the fun part!
+

+
+<action>Based on the emerging personality, suggest 2-3 styles that would fit naturally</action>
+
+"...or would you like to see all the options?"
+
+**Fun Presets:**
+
+1. **Pulp Superhero** - "Strikes heroic poses! Speaks with dramatic flair! Every task is an epic adventure!"
+2. **Film Noir Detective** - "The data came in like trouble on a rainy Tuesday. I had a hunch the bug was hiding in line 42..."
+3. **Wild West Sheriff** - "Well partner, looks like we got ourselves a code rustler in these here parts..."
+4. **Shakespearean Scholar** - "Hark! What bug through yonder codebase breaks?"
+5. **80s Action Hero** - "I came here to debug code and chew bubblegum... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
+6. **Pirate Captain** - "Ahoy! Let's plunder some data treasure from the database seas!"
+7. **Wise Sage/Yoda** - "Refactor this code, we must. Strong with technical debt, it is."
+8. **Game Show Host** - "Welcome back folks! It's time to spin the Wheel of Dependencies!"
+
+**Professional Presets:** 9. **Analytical Expert** - "Systematic approach with data-driven insights. Clear hierarchical presentation." 10. **Supportive Mentor** - "Patient guidance with educational focus. Celebrates small wins." 11. **Direct Consultant** - "Straight to the point. No fluff. Maximum efficiency." 12. **Collaborative Partner** - "We'll tackle this together. Your ideas matter. Let's explore options."

THE CROWD GOES WILD!" 15. **Nature Documentarian** - "Here we observe the majestic Python script in its natural habitat..." 16. **Time Traveler** - "In my timeline, this bug doesn't exist until Tuesday. We must prevent it!" 17. **Conspiracy Theorist** - "The bugs aren't random... they're CONNECTED. Follow the stack trace!" 18. **Zen Master** - "The code does not have bugs. The bugs have code. We are all one codebase." 19. **Star Trek Captain** - "Captain's Log, Stardate 2024.3: We've encountered a logic error in sector 7. Engaging debugging protocols. Make it so!" 20. **Soap Opera Drama** - "_gasp_ This variable... it's not what it seems! It's been NULL all along! _dramatic pause_ And the function that called it? It's its own PARENT!" 21. **Reality TV Contestant** - "I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to REFACTOR! _confessional cam_ That other function thinks it's so optimized, but I see right through its complexity!"

+
+**Principles** - These often reveal themselves through our conversation:
+
+"Based on everything we've discussed, what core principles should guide this agent's decisions?"
+
+Help them articulate 5-8 lines:
+
+- "From what you've said, it seems like this agent believes..."
+- "I'm hearing that it values..."
+- Shape into "I believe..." or "I operate..." statements
+- Example emerges: "I believe that every business challenge has underlying root causes..."

+- "This would work great as a workflow that..."
+
+If they seem engaged, explore:

+- "Would you like to add any special prompts for complex analyses?"

+
+"Our agent is really coming together! It's got purpose, personality, and capabilities. Now it needs a name!"
+
+This is where the naming feels natural and meaningful:

+**"Based on everything we've built, what should we call this agent?"**
+
+Guide the naming with context:
+
+- "Given its [personality trait], maybe something like..."
+- "Since it specializes in [capability], how about..."
+- "With that [communication style], it feels like a..."
+
+Explore options:

+- **Agent name**: "Sarah", "Max", "Data Wizard" (personality-driven)
+- **Agent title**: Based on the role we discovered earlier
+- **Agent icon**: "What emoji captures its essence?"
+- **Filename**: Auto-suggest based on name (kebab-case)
+
+Example flow:
+"So we have an analytical expert who helps with data... I'm thinking 'Sarah the Data Analyst' with a 📊 icon? Or maybe something more playful like 'Data Wizard' with 🧙?"

+# Build Module Workflow
+
+## Overview
+
+The Build Module workflow is an interactive scaffolding system that creates complete BMAD modules with agents, workflows, tasks, and installation infrastructure. It serves as the primary tool for building new modules in the BMAD ecosystem, guiding users through the entire module creation process from concept to deployment-ready structure.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Interactive Module Planning** - Collaborative session to define module concept, scope, and architecture
+- **Intelligent Scaffolding** - Automatic creation of proper directory structures and configuration files
+- **Component Integration** - Seamless integration with create-agent and create-workflow workflows
+- **Installation Infrastructure** - Complete installer setup with configuration templates
+- **Module Brief Integration** - Can use existing module briefs as blueprints for accelerated development
+- **Validation and Documentation** - Built-in validation checks and comprehensive README generation
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Invocation
+
+```bash
+workflow create-module
+```
+
+### With Module Brief Input
+
+```bash
+# If you have a module brief from the module-brief workflow
+workflow create-module --input module-brief-my-module-2024-09-26.md
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+The workflow loads critical variables from the BMB configuration:
+
+- **custom_module_location**: Where custom modules are created (default: `bmad/`)
+- **user_name**: Module author information
+- **date**: Automatic timestamp for versioning
+
+## Workflow Structure
+
+### Files Included
+
+```

+└── README.md             # This file
+```
+
+## Workflow Process
+
+### Phase 1: Concept Definition (Steps 1-2)
+
+**Module Vision and Identity**
+
+- Define module concept, purpose, and target audience
+- Establish module code (kebab-case) and friendly name
+- Choose module category (Domain-Specific, Creative, Technical, Business, Personal)
+- Plan component architecture with agent and workflow specifications
+
+**Module Brief Integration**
+
+- Automatically detects existing module briefs in output folder
+- Can load and use briefs as pre-populated blueprints
+- Accelerates planning when comprehensive brief exists
+
+### Phase 2: Architecture Planning (Steps 3-4)
+
+**Directory Structure Creation**
+
+- Creates complete module directory hierarchy
+- Sets up agent, workflow, task, template, and data folders
+- Establishes installer directory with proper configuration
+
+**Module Configuration**
+
+- Generates main config.yaml with module metadata
+- Configures component counts and references
+- Sets up output and data folder specifications
+
+### Phase 3: Component Creation (Steps 5-6)
+
+**Interactive Component Building**
+
+- Optional creation of first agent using create-agent workflow
+- Optional creation of first workflow using create-workflow workflow
+- Creates placeholders for components to be built later
+
+**Workflow Integration**
+
+- Seamlessly invokes sub-workflows for component creation
+- Ensures proper file placement and structure
+- Maintains module consistency across components
+
+### Phase 4: Installation and Documentation (Steps 7-9)
+
+**Installer Infrastructure**
+
+- Creates install-module-config.yaml for deployment
+- Sets up optional installer.js for complex installation logic
+- Configures post-install messaging and instructions
+
+**Comprehensive Documentation**
+
+- Generates detailed README.md with usage examples
+- Creates development roadmap for remaining components
+- Provides quick commands for continued development
+
+### Phase 5: Validation and Finalization (Step 10)
+
+**Quality Assurance**
+
+- Validates directory structure and configuration files
+- Checks component references and path consistency
+- Ensures installer configuration is deployment-ready
+- Provides comprehensive module summary and next steps
+
+## Output
+
+### Generated Files
+
+- **Module Directory**: Complete module structure at `{project-root}/bmad/{module_code}/`
+- **Configuration Files**: config.yaml, install-module-config.yaml
+- **Documentation**: README.md, TODO.md development roadmap
+- **Component Placeholders**: Structured folders for agents, workflows, and tasks
+
+### Output Structure
+
+The workflow creates a complete module ready for development:
+
+1. **Module Identity** - Name, code, version, and metadata
+2. **Directory Structure** - Proper BMAD module hierarchy
+3. **Configuration System** - Runtime and installation configs
+4. **Component Framework** - Ready-to-use agent and workflow scaffolding
+5. **Installation Infrastructure** - Deployment-ready installer
+6. **Documentation Suite** - README, roadmap, and development guides
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **Module Brief** (optional but recommended) - Use module-brief workflow first for best results
+- **BMAD Core Configuration** - Properly configured BMB config.yaml
+- **Build Tools Access** - create-agent and create-workflow workflows must be available
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Before Starting
+
+1. **Create a Module Brief** - Run module-brief workflow for comprehensive planning
+2. **Review Existing Modules** - Study similar modules in `/bmad/` for patterns and inspiration
+3. **Define Clear Scope** - Have a concrete vision of what the module will accomplish
+
+### During Execution
+
+1. **Use Module Briefs** - Load existing briefs when prompted for accelerated development
+2. **Start Simple** - Create one core agent and workflow, then expand iteratively
+3. **Leverage Sub-workflows** - Use create-agent and create-workflow for quality components
+4. **Validate Early** - Review generated structure before proceeding to next phases
+
+### After Completion
+
+1. **Follow the Roadmap** - Use generated TODO.md for systematic development
+2. **Test Installation** - Validate installer with `bmad install {module_code}`
+3. **Iterate Components** - Use quick commands to add agents and workflows
+4. **Document Progress** - Update README.md as the module evolves
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Issue**: Module already exists at target location
+
+- **Solution**: Choose a different module code or remove existing module
+- **Check**: Verify output folder permissions and available space
+
+**Issue**: Sub-workflow invocation fails
+
+- **Solution**: Ensure create-agent and create-workflow workflows are available
+- **Check**: Validate workflow paths in config.yaml
+
+**Issue**: Installation configuration invalid
+
+- **Solution**: Review install-module-config.yaml syntax and paths
+- **Check**: Ensure all referenced paths use {project-root} variables correctly
+
+## Customization
+
+To customize this workflow:
+
+1. **Modify Instructions** - Update instructions.md to adjust scaffolding steps
+2. **Extend Templates** - Add new installer templates in installer-templates/
+3. **Update Validation** - Enhance checklist.md with additional quality checks
+4. **Add Components** - Integrate additional sub-workflows for specialized components
+
+## Version History
+
+- **v1.0.0** - Initial release
+  - Interactive module scaffolding
+  - Component integration with create-agent and create-workflow
+  - Complete installation infrastructure
+  - Module brief integration support
+
+## Support

+# Module Brainstorming Context
+
+_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD module_
+
+## Session Focus
+
+You are brainstorming ideas for a **complete BMAD module** - a self-contained package that extends the BMAD Method with specialized domain expertise and capabilities.
+
+## What is a BMAD Module?
+
+A module is a cohesive package that provides:
+
+- **Domain Expertise**: Specialized knowledge in a specific area (RPG, DevOps, Content Creation, etc.)
+- **Agent Team**: Multiple AI personas with complementary skills
+- **Workflows**: Guided processes for common tasks in the domain
+- **Templates**: Document structures for consistent outputs
+- **Integration**: Components that work together seamlessly
+
+## Brainstorming Goals
+
+Explore and define:
+
+### 1. Domain and Purpose
+
+- **What domain/problem space?** (e.g., game development, marketing, personal productivity)
+- **Who is the target user?** (developers, writers, managers, hobbyists)
+- **What pain points does it solve?** (tedious tasks, missing structure, need for expertise)
+- **What makes this domain exciting?** (creativity, efficiency, empowerment)
+
+### 2. Agent Team Composition
+
+- **How many agents?** (typically 3-7 for a module)
+- **What roles/personas?** (architect, researcher, reviewer, specialist)
+- **How do they collaborate?** (handoffs, reviews, ensemble work)
+- **What personality theme?** (Star Trek crew, superhero team, fantasy party, professional squad)
+
+### 3. Core Workflows
+
+- **What documents need creating?** (plans, specs, reports, creative outputs)
+- **What processes need automation?** (analysis, generation, review, deployment)
+- **What workflows enable the vision?** (3-10 key workflows that define the module)
+
+### 4. Value Proposition
+
+- **What becomes easier?** (specific tasks that get 10x faster)
+- **What becomes possible?** (new capabilities previously unavailable)
+- **What becomes better?** (quality improvements, consistency gains)
+
+## Creative Constraints
+
+A good BMAD module should be:
+
+- **Focused**: Serves a specific domain well (not generic)
+- **Complete**: Provides end-to-end capabilities for that domain
+- **Cohesive**: Agents and workflows complement each other
+- **Fun**: Personality and creativity make it enjoyable to use
+- **Practical**: Solves real problems, delivers real value
+
+## Module Architecture Questions
+
+1. **Module Identity**
+   - Module code (kebab-case, e.g., "rpg-toolkit")
+   - Module name (friendly, e.g., "RPG Toolkit")
+   - Module purpose (one sentence)
+   - Target audience
+
+2. **Agent Lineup**
+   - Agent names and roles
+   - Communication styles and personalities
+   - Expertise areas
+   - Command sets (what each agent can do)
+
+3. **Workflow Portfolio**
+   - Document generation workflows
+   - Action/automation workflows
+   - Analysis/research workflows
+   - Creative/ideation workflows
+
+4. **Integration Points**
+   - How agents invoke workflows
+   - How workflows use templates
+   - How components pass data
+   - Dependencies on other modules
+
+## Example Module Patterns
+
+### Professional Domains
+
+- **DevOps Suite**: Deploy, Monitor, Troubleshoot agents + deployment workflows
+- **Marketing Engine**: Content, SEO, Analytics agents + campaign workflows
+- **Legal Assistant**: Contract, Research, Review agents + document workflows
+
+### Creative Domains
+
+- **RPG Toolkit**: DM, NPC, Quest agents + adventure creation workflows
+- **Story Crafter**: Plot, Character, World agents + writing workflows
+- **Music Producer**: Composer, Arranger, Mixer agents + production workflows
+
+### Personal Domains
+
+- **Life Coach**: Planner, Tracker, Mentor agents + productivity workflows
+- **Learning Companion**: Tutor, Quiz, Reviewer agents + study workflows
+- **Health Guide**: Nutrition, Fitness, Wellness agents + tracking workflows
+
+## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
+
+Particularly effective for module ideation:
+
+1. **Domain Immersion**: Deep dive into target domain's problems
+2. **Persona Mapping**: Who needs this and what do they struggle with?
+3. **Workflow Mapping**: What processes exist today? How could they improve?
+4. **Team Building**: What personalities would make a great team?
+5. **Integration Thinking**: How do pieces connect and amplify each other?
+
+## Key Questions to Answer
+
+1. What domain expertise should this module embody?
+2. What would users be able to do that they can't do now?
+3. Who are the 3-7 agents and what are their personalities?
+4. What are the 5-10 core workflows?
+5. What makes this module delightful to use?
+6. How is this different from existing tools?
+7. What's the "killer feature" that makes this essential?
+
+## Output Goals
+
+Generate:
+
+- **Module concept**: Clear vision and purpose
+- **Agent roster**: Names, roles, personalities for each agent
+- **Workflow list**: Core workflows with brief descriptions
+- **Unique angle**: What makes this module special
+- **Use cases**: 3-5 concrete scenarios where this module shines

+# BMAD Module Structure Guide
+
+## What is a Module?
+
+A BMAD module is a self-contained package of agents, workflows, tasks, and resources that work together to provide specialized functionality. Think of it as an expansion pack for the BMAD Method.
+
+## Module Architecture
+
+### Core Structure
+

+
+## Module Types by Complexity
+
+### Simple Module (1-2 agents, 2-3 workflows)
+
+Perfect for focused, single-purpose tools.
+
+**Example: Code Review Module**
+
+- 1 Reviewer Agent
+- 2 Workflows: quick-review, deep-review
+- Clear, narrow scope
+
+### Standard Module (3-5 agents, 5-10 workflows)
+
+Comprehensive solution for a domain.
+
+**Example: Project Management Module**
+
+- PM Agent, Scrum Master Agent, Analyst Agent
+- Workflows: sprint-planning, retrospective, roadmap, user-stories
+- Integrated component ecosystem
+
+### Complex Module (5+ agents, 10+ workflows)
+
+Full platform or framework.
+
+**Example: RPG Toolkit Module**
+
+- DM Agent, NPC Agent, Monster Agent, Loot Agent, Map Agent
+- 15+ workflows for every aspect of game management
+- Multiple interconnected systems
+
+## Module Naming Conventions
+
+### Module Code (kebab-case)
+
+- `data-viz` - Data Visualization
+- `team-collab` - Team Collaboration
+- `rpg-toolkit` - RPG Toolkit
+- `legal-assist` - Legal Assistant
+
+### Module Name (Title Case)
+
+- "Data Visualization Suite"
+- "Team Collaboration Platform"
+- "RPG Game Master Toolkit"
+- "Legal Document Assistant"
+
+## Component Guidelines
+
+### Agents per Module
+
+**Recommended Distribution:**
+
+- **Primary Agent (1)**: The main interface/orchestrator
+- **Specialist Agents (2-4)**: Domain-specific experts
+- **Utility Agents (0-2)**: Helper/support functions
+
+**Anti-patterns to Avoid:**
+
+- Too many overlapping agents
+- Agents that could be combined
+- Agents without clear purpose
+
+### Workflows per Module
+
+**Categories:**
+
+- **Core Workflows (2-3)**: Essential functionality
+- **Feature Workflows (3-5)**: Specific capabilities
+- **Utility Workflows (2-3)**: Supporting operations
+- **Admin Workflows (0-2)**: Maintenance/config
+
+**Workflow Complexity Guide:**
+
+- Simple: 3-5 steps, single output
+- Standard: 5-10 steps, multiple outputs
+- Complex: 10+ steps, conditional logic, sub-workflows
+
+### Tasks per Module
+
+Tasks should be used for:
+
+- Single-operation utilities
+- Shared subroutines
+- Quick actions that don't warrant workflows
+
+## Module Dependencies

+- Version compatibility notes
+
+## Installation Infrastructure
+
+### Required: install-module-config.yaml
+
+```yaml
+module_name: 'Module Name'
+module_code: 'module-code'
+
+install_steps:
+  - name: 'Create directories'
+    action: 'mkdir'
+    paths: [...]
+
+  - name: 'Copy files'
+    action: 'copy'
+    mappings: [...]
+
+  - name: 'Register module'
+    action: 'register'
+```
+
+### Optional: installer.js
+
+For complex installations requiring:
+
+- Database setup
+- API configuration
+- System integration
+- Permission management
+
+### Optional: External Assets
+
+Files that get copied outside the module:
+

+   - Define scope and purpose
+   - Identify components
+   - Design architecture
+
+2. **Scaffolding Phase**
+   - Create directory structure
+   - Generate configurations
+   - Setup installer
+
+3. **Building Phase**
+   - Create agents incrementally
+   - Build workflows progressively
+   - Add tasks as needed
+
+4. **Testing Phase**
+   - Test individual components
+   - Verify integration
+   - Validate installation
+
+5. **Deployment Phase**
+   - Package module
+   - Document usage
+   - Distribute/share
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Module Cohesion
+
+- All components should relate to module theme
+- Clear boundaries between modules
+- No feature creep
+
+### Progressive Enhancement
+
+- Start with MVP (1 agent, 2 workflows)
+- Add components based on usage
+- Refactor as patterns emerge
+
+### Documentation Standards
+
+- Every module needs README.md
+- Each agent needs purpose statement
+- Workflows need clear descriptions
+- Include examples and quickstart
+
+### Naming Consistency
+
+- Use module code prefix for uniqueness
+- Consistent naming patterns within module
+- Clear, descriptive names
+

+    └── README.md
+```
+
+## Workflow Process
+
+### Phase 0: Optional Brainstorming (Step -1)
+
+- **Creative Exploration**: Option to brainstorm workflow ideas before structured development
+- **Design Concept Development**: Generate multiple approaches and explore different possibilities
+- **Requirement Clarification**: Use brainstorming output to inform workflow purpose, type, and structure
+- **Enhanced Creativity**: Leverage AI brainstorming tools for innovative workflow design
+
+The brainstorming phase invokes the CIS brainstorming workflow to:
+
+- Explore workflow ideas and approaches
+- Clarify requirements and use cases
+- Generate creative solutions for complex automation needs
+- Inform the structured workflow building process
+
+### Phase 1: Planning (Steps 0-3)
+
+- Load workflow creation guide and conventions
+- Define workflow purpose, name, and type (informed by brainstorming if used)
+- Gather metadata and configuration details
+- Design step structure and flow
+
+### Phase 2: Generation (Steps 4-8)
+
+- Create workflow.yaml with proper configuration
+- Generate instructions.md with XML-structured steps
+- Create template.md (for document workflows)
+- Generate validation checklist
+- Create supporting data files (optional)
+
+### Phase 3: Documentation and Validation (Steps 9-11)
+
+- Create comprehensive README.md (MANDATORY)
+- Test and validate workflow structure
+- Provide usage instructions and next steps
+
+## Output
+
+### Generated Workflow Folder
+
+Creates a complete workflow folder at:
+`{project-root}/bmad/{{target_module}}/workflows/{{workflow_name}}/`
+
+### Files Created
+
+**Always Created:**
+
+- `workflow.yaml` - Configuration with paths and variables
+- `README.md` - Comprehensive documentation (MANDATORY as of v6)
+- `instructions.md` - Execution steps (if not template-only workflow)
+
+**Conditionally Created:**
+
+- `template.md` - Document structure (for document workflows)
+- `checklist.md` - Validation criteria (optional but recommended)
+- Supporting data files (CSV, JSON, etc. as needed)
+
+### Output Structure
+
+For document workflows, the README documents:
+
+- Workflow purpose and use cases
+- Usage examples with actual commands
+- Input expectations
+- Output structure and location
+- Best practices
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Access to workflow creation guide
+- BMAD Core v6 project structure
+- Module to host the new workflow (bmm, bmb, cis, or custom)
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Before Starting
+
+1. **Consider Brainstorming**: If you're unsure about the workflow approach, use the optional brainstorming phase
+2. Review the workflow creation guide to understand conventions
+3. Have a clear understanding of the workflow's purpose (or be ready to explore it creatively)
+4. Know which type of workflow you're creating (document, action, etc.) or be open to discovery
+5. Identify any data files or references needed
+
+### Creative Workflow Design
+
+The create-workflow now supports a **seamless transition from creative ideation to structured implementation**:
+
+- **"I need a workflow for something..."** → Start with brainstorming to explore possibilities
+- **Brainstorm** → Generate multiple approaches and clarify requirements
+- **Structured workflow** → Build the actual workflow using insights from brainstorming
+- **One seamless session** → Complete the entire process from idea to implementation
+
+### During Execution
+
+1. Follow kebab-case naming conventions
+2. Be specific with step goals and instructions
+3. Use descriptive variable names (snake_case)
+4. Set appropriate limits ("3-5 items maximum")
+5. Include examples where helpful
+
+### After Completion
+
+1. Test the newly created workflow
+2. Validate against the checklist
+3. Ensure README is comprehensive and accurate
+4. Test all file paths and variable references
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Generated workflow won't execute
+
+- **Solution**: Verify all file paths in workflow.yaml use proper variable substitution
+- **Check**: Ensure installed_path and project-root are correctly set
+
+### Issue: Variables not replacing in template
+
+- **Solution**: Ensure variable names match exactly between instructions `<template-output>` tags and template `{{variables}}`
+- **Check**: Use snake_case consistently
+
+### Issue: README has placeholder text
+
+- **Solution**: This workflow now enforces README generation - ensure Step 10 completed fully
+- **Check**: No {WORKFLOW_TITLE} or similar placeholders should remain
+
+## Customization
+
+To modify this workflow:
+
+1. Edit `instructions.md` to adjust the creation process
+2. Update templates in `workflow-template/` to change generated files
+3. Modify `workflow-creation-guide.md` to update conventions
+4. Edit `checklist.md` to change validation criteria
+
+## Version History
+
+- **v6.0.0** - README.md now MANDATORY for all workflows
+  - Added comprehensive README template
+  - Enhanced validation for documentation
+  - Improved Step 10 with detailed README requirements
+
+- **v5.0.0** - Initial BMAD Core v6 compatible version
+  - Template-based workflow generation
+  - Convention enforcement
+  - Validation checklist support
+
+## Support
+
+For issues or questions:
+
+- Review `/bmad/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/workflow-creation-guide.md`
+- Check existing workflows in `/bmad/bmm/workflows/` for examples
+- Validate against `/bmad/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/checklist.md`
+- Consult BMAD Method v6 documentation

+# Workflow Brainstorming Context
+
+_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD workflow_
+
+## Session Focus
+
+You are brainstorming ideas for a **BMAD workflow** - a guided, multi-step process that helps users accomplish complex tasks with structure, consistency, and quality.
+
+## What is a BMAD Workflow?
+
+A workflow is a structured process that provides:
+
+- **Clear Steps**: Sequential operations with defined goals
+- **User Guidance**: Prompts, questions, and decisions at each phase
+- **Quality Output**: Documents, artifacts, or completed actions
+- **Repeatability**: Same process yields consistent results
+- **Type**: Document (creates docs), Action (performs tasks), Interactive (guides sessions), Autonomous (runs automated), Meta (orchestrates other workflows)
+
+## Brainstorming Goals
+
+Explore and define:
+
+### 1. Problem and Purpose
+
+- **What task needs structure?** (specific process users struggle with)
+- **Why is this hard manually?** (complexity, inconsistency, missing steps)
+- **What would ideal process look like?** (steps, checkpoints, outputs)
+- **Who needs this?** (target users and their pain points)
+
+### 2. Process Flow
+
+- **How many phases?** (typically 3-10 major steps)
+- **What's the sequence?** (logical flow from start to finish)
+- **What decisions are needed?** (user choices that affect path)
+- **What's optional vs required?** (flexibility points)
+- **What checkpoints matter?** (validation, review, approval points)
+
+### 3. Inputs and Outputs
+
+- **What inputs are needed?** (documents, data, user answers)
+- **What outputs are generated?** (documents, code, configurations)
+- **What format?** (markdown, XML, YAML, actions)
+- **What quality criteria?** (how to validate success)
+
+### 4. Workflow Type and Style
+
+- **Document Workflow?** Creates structured documents (PRDs, specs, reports)
+- **Action Workflow?** Performs operations (refactoring, deployment, analysis)
+- **Interactive Workflow?** Guides creative process (brainstorming, planning)
+- **Autonomous Workflow?** Runs without user input (batch processing, generation)
+- **Meta Workflow?** Orchestrates other workflows (project setup, module creation)
+
+## Creative Constraints
+
+A great BMAD workflow should be:
+
+- **Focused**: Solves one problem well (not everything)
+- **Structured**: Clear phases with defined goals
+- **Flexible**: Optional steps, branching paths where appropriate
+- **Validated**: Checklist to verify completeness and quality
+- **Documented**: README explains when and how to use it
+
+## Workflow Architecture Questions
+
+### Core Structure
+
+1. **Workflow name** (kebab-case, e.g., "product-brief")
+2. **Purpose** (one sentence)
+3. **Type** (document/action/interactive/autonomous/meta)
+4. **Major phases** (3-10 high-level steps)
+5. **Output** (what gets created)
+
+### Process Details
+
+1. **Required inputs** (what user must provide)
+2. **Optional inputs** (what enhances results)
+3. **Decision points** (where user chooses path)
+4. **Checkpoints** (where to pause for approval)
+5. **Variables** (data passed between steps)
+
+### Quality and Validation
+
+1. **Success criteria** (what defines "done")
+2. **Validation checklist** (measurable quality checks)
+3. **Common issues** (troubleshooting guidance)
+4. **Best practices** (tips for optimal results)
+
+## Workflow Pattern Examples
+
+### Document Generation Workflows
+
+- **Product Brief**: Idea → Vision → Features → Market → Output
+- **PRD**: Requirements → User Stories → Acceptance Criteria → Document
+- **Architecture**: Requirements → Decisions → Design → Diagrams → ADRs
+- **Technical Spec**: Epic → Implementation → Testing → Deployment → Doc
+
+### Action Workflows
+
+- **Code Refactoring**: Analyze → Plan → Refactor → Test → Commit
+- **Deployment**: Build → Test → Stage → Validate → Deploy → Monitor
+- **Migration**: Assess → Plan → Convert → Validate → Deploy
+- **Analysis**: Collect → Process → Analyze → Report → Recommend
+
+### Interactive Workflows
+
+- **Brainstorming**: Setup → Generate → Expand → Evaluate → Prioritize
+- **Planning**: Context → Goals → Options → Decisions → Plan
+- **Review**: Load → Analyze → Critique → Suggest → Document
+
+### Meta Workflows
+
+- **Project Setup**: Plan → Architecture → Stories → Setup → Initialize
+- **Module Creation**: Brainstorm → Brief → Agents → Workflows → Install
+- **Sprint Planning**: Backlog → Capacity → Stories → Commit → Kickoff
+
+## Workflow Design Patterns
+
+### Linear Flow
+
+Simple sequence: Step 1 → Step 2 → Step 3 → Done
+
+**Good for:**
+
+- Document generation
+- Structured analysis
+- Sequential builds
+
+### Branching Flow
+
+Conditional paths: Step 1 → [Decision] → Path A or Path B → Merge → Done
+
+**Good for:**
+
+- Different project types
+- Optional deep dives
+- Scale-adaptive processes
+
+### Iterative Flow
+
+Refinement loops: Step 1 → Step 2 → [Review] → (Repeat if needed) → Done
+
+**Good for:**
+
+- Creative processes
+- Quality refinement
+- Approval cycles
+
+### Router Flow
+
+Type selection: [Select Type] → Load appropriate instructions → Execute → Done
+
+**Good for:**
+
+- Multi-mode workflows
+- Reusable frameworks
+- Flexible tools
+
+## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
+
+Particularly effective for workflow ideation:
+
+1. **Process Mapping**: Draw current painful process, identify improvements
+2. **Step Decomposition**: Break complex task into atomic steps
+3. **Checkpoint Thinking**: Where do users need pause/review/decision?
+4. **Pain Point Analysis**: What makes current process frustrating?
+5. **Success Visualization**: What does perfect execution look like?
+
+## Key Questions to Answer
+
+1. What manual process needs structure and guidance?
+2. What makes this process hard or inconsistent today?
+3. What are the 3-10 major phases/steps?
+4. What document or output gets created?
+5. What inputs are required from the user?
+6. What decisions or choices affect the flow?
+7. What quality criteria define success?
+8. Document, Action, Interactive, Autonomous, or Meta workflow?
+9. What makes this workflow valuable vs doing it manually?
+10. What would make this workflow delightful to use?
+
+## Output Goals
+
+Generate:
+
+- **Workflow name**: Clear, describes the process
+- **Purpose statement**: One sentence explaining value
+- **Workflow type**: Classification with rationale
+- **Phase outline**: 3-10 major steps with goals
+- **Input/output description**: What goes in, what comes out
+- **Key decisions**: Where user makes choices
+- **Success criteria**: How to know it worked
+- **Unique value**: Why this workflow beats manual process
+- **Use cases**: 3-5 scenarios where this workflow shines

+<step n="1" goal="Define workflow purpose and type">
+Ask the user:
+- What is the workflow name? (kebab-case, e.g., "product-brief")
+- What module will it belong to? (e.g., "bmm", "bmb", "cis")
+  - Store as {{target_module}} for output path determination
+- What is the workflow's main purpose?
+- What type of workflow is this?
+  - Document workflow (generates documents like PRDs, specs)
+  - Action workflow (performs actions like refactoring)
+  - Interactive workflow (guided sessions)
+  - Autonomous workflow (runs without user input)
+  - Meta-workflow (coordinates other workflows)
+
+Based on type, determine which files are needed:
+
+- Document: workflow.yaml + template.md + instructions.md + checklist.md
+- Action: workflow.yaml + instructions.md
+- Others: Varies based on requirements
+
+<critical>Determine output location based on module assignment:</critical>

+## Quick Start
+
+### Minimal Workflow (3 minutes)
+
+Create a folder with these files:
+
+```yaml
+# workflow.yaml (REQUIRED)
+name: 'my-workflow'
+description: 'What this workflow does'
+installed_path: '{project-root}/bmad/module/workflows/my-workflow'
+template: '{installed_path}/template.md'
+instructions: '{installed_path}/instructions.md'
+default_output_file: '{output_folder}/output.md'
+```
+
+```markdown
+# template.md
+
+# {{project_name}} Output
+
+{{main_content}}
+```
+
+```markdown
+# instructions.md
+
+<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project_root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>
+<critical>You MUST have already loaded and processed: workflow.yaml</critical>
+
+<workflow>
+<step n="1" goal="Generate content">
+Create the main content for this document.
+<template-output>main_content</template-output>
+</step>
+</workflow>
+```
+
+That's it! To execute, tell the BMAD agent: `workflow my-workflow`
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### Tasks vs Workflows
+
+| Aspect         | Task               | Workflow                |
+| -------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------- |
+| **Purpose**    | Single operation   | Multi-step process      |
+| **Format**     | XML in `.md` file  | Folder with YAML config |
+| **Location**   | `/src/core/tasks/` | `/bmad/*/workflows/`    |
+| **User Input** | Minimal            | Extensive               |
+| **Output**     | Variable           | Usually documents       |
+
+### Workflow Types
+
+1. **Document Workflows** - Generate PRDs, specs, architectures
+2. **Action Workflows** - Refactor code, run tools, orchestrate tasks
+3. **Interactive Workflows** - Brainstorming, meditations, guided sessions
+4. **Autonomous Workflows** - Run without human input (story generation)
+5. **Meta-Workflows** - Coordinate other workflows
+
+## Workflow Structure
+
+### Required Files
+
+```
+my-workflow/
+  └── workflow.yaml      # REQUIRED - Configuration
+```
+
+### Optional Files
+
+```
+my-workflow/
+  ├── template.md        # Document structure
+  ├── instructions.md    # Step-by-step guide
+  ├── checklist.md       # Validation criteria
+  └── [data files]       # Supporting resources
+```
+
+### workflow.yaml Configuration
+
+```yaml
+# Basic metadata
+name: 'workflow-name'
+description: 'Clear purpose statement'
+
+# Paths
+installed_path: '{project-root}/bmad/module/workflows/name'
+template: '{installed_path}/template.md' # or false
+instructions: '{installed_path}/instructions.md' # or false
+validation: '{installed_path}/checklist.md' # optional
+
+# Output
+default_output_file: '{output_folder}/document.md'
+
+# Advanced options
+autonomous: true # Skip user checkpoints
+recommended_inputs: # Expected input docs
+  - input_doc: 'path/to/doc.md'
+```
+
+### Common Patterns
+
+**Full Document Workflow** (most common)
+
+- Has: All 4 files
+- Use for: PRDs, architectures, specs
+
+**Action Workflow** (no template)
+
+- Has: workflow.yaml + instructions.md
+- Use for: Refactoring, tool orchestration
+
+**Autonomous Workflow** (no interaction)
+
+- Has: workflow.yaml + template + instructions
+- Use for: Automated generation
+
+## Writing Instructions
+
+### Basic Structure
+
+```markdown
+# instructions.md
+
+<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project_root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>
+<critical>You MUST have already loaded and processed: workflow.yaml</critical>
+
+<workflow>
+
+<step n="1" goal="Clear goal statement">
+Instructions for this step.
+<template-output>variable_name</template-output>
+</step>
+
+<step n="2" goal="Next goal" optional="true">
+Optional step instructions.
+<template-output>another_variable</template-output>
+</step>
+
+</workflow>
+```
+
+### Step Attributes
+
+- `n="X"` - Step number (required)
+- `goal="..."` - What the step accomplishes (required)
+- `optional="true"` - User can skip
+- `repeat="3"` - Repeat N times
+- `if="condition"` - Conditional execution
+
+### Content Formats
+
+**Markdown Format** (human-friendly):
+
+```xml
+<step n="1" goal="Define goals">
+Write 1-3 bullet points about project success:
+- User outcomes
+- Business value
+- Measurable results
+
+<template-output>goals</template-output>
+</step>
+```
+
+**XML Format** (precise control):
+
+```xml
+<step n="2" goal="Validate input">
+  <action>Load validation criteria</action>
+  <check if="validation fails">
+    <goto step="1">Return to previous step</goto>
+  </check>
+  <template-output>validated_data</template-output>
+</step>
+```
+
+## Templates and Variables
+
+### Variable Syntax
+
+```markdown
+# template.md
+
+# {{project_name}} Document
+
+## Section
+
+{{section_content}}
+
+_Generated on {{date}}_
+```
+
+### Variable Sources
+
+1. **workflow.yaml** - Config values
+2. **User input** - Runtime values
+3. **Step outputs** - `<template-output>` tags
+4. **System** - Date, paths, etc.
+
+### Naming Convention
+
+- Use snake_case: `{{user_requirements}}`
+- Be descriptive: `{{primary_user_journey}}` not `{{puj}}`
+
+## Flow Control
+
+### Sub-Steps
+
+```xml
+<step n="3" goal="Process items">
+  <step n="3a" title="Gather data">
+    <action>Collect information</action>
+  </step>
+
+  <step n="3b" title="Analyze">
+    <action>Process collected data</action>
+    <template-output>analysis</template-output>
+  </step>
+</step>
+```
+
+### Repetition
+
+```xml
+<!-- Fixed repetitions -->
+<step n="4" repeat="3">
+  <action>Generate example {{iteration}}</action>
+</step>
+
+<!-- Conditional repetition -->
+<step n="5" repeat="until-approved">
+  <action>Generate content</action>
+  <ask>Satisfactory? (y/n)</ask>
+</step>
+
+<!-- For-each repetition -->
+<step n="6" repeat="for-each-epic">
+  <action>Define epic {{epic_name}}</action>
+</step>
+```
+
+### Conditional Execution
+
+**Single Action (use `action if=""`):**
+
+```xml
+<step n="6" goal="Load context">
+  <action if="file exists">Load existing document</action>
+  <action if="new project">Initialize from template</action>
+</step>
+```
+
+**Multiple Actions (use `<check if="">...</check>`):**
+
+```xml
+<step n="7" goal="Validate">
+  <action>Check requirements</action>
+  <check if="incomplete">
+    <action>Log validation errors</action>
+    <goto step="2">Return to gathering</goto>
+  </check>
+  <check if="complete">
+    <action>Mark as validated</action>
+    <continue>Proceed</continue>
+  </check>
+</step>
+```
+
+**When to use which:**
+
+- **`<action if="">`** - Single conditional action (cleaner, more concise)
+- **`<check if="">...</check>`** - Multiple items under same condition (explicit scope)
+
+### Loops
+
+```xml
+<step n="8" goal="Refine">
+  <loop max="5">
+    <action>Generate solution</action>
+    <check if="criteria met">
+      <break>Exit loop</break>
+    </check>
+  </loop>
+</step>
+```
+
+### Common XML Tags
+
+**Execution:**
+
+- `<action>` - Required action
+- `<action if="condition">` - Single conditional action (inline)
+- `<check if="condition">...</check>` - Conditional block for multiple items (requires closing tag)
+- `<ask>` - User prompt
+- `<goto>` - Jump to step
+- `<invoke-workflow>` - Call another workflow
+
+**Output:**
+
+- `<template-output>` - Save checkpoint
+- `<elicit-required/>` - Trigger AI enhancement
+- `<critical>` - Important info
+- `<example>` - Show example
+
+## Validation
+
+### checklist.md Structure
+
+```markdown
+# Validation Checklist
+
+## Structure
+
+- [ ] All sections present
+- [ ] No placeholders remain
+- [ ] Proper formatting
+
+## Content Quality
+
+- [ ] Clear and specific
+- [ ] Technically accurate
+- [ ] Consistent terminology
+
+## Completeness
+
+- [ ] Ready for next phase
+- [ ] Dependencies documented
+- [ ] Action items defined
+```
+
+### Making Criteria Measurable
+
+❌ `- [ ] Good documentation`
+✅ `- [ ] Each function has JSDoc comments with parameters and return types`
+
+## Examples
+
+### Document Generation
+
+```xml
+<workflow>
+<step n="1" goal="Gather context">
+Load existing documents and understand project scope.
+<template-output>context</template-output>
+</step>
+
+<step n="2" goal="Define requirements">
+Create functional and non-functional requirements.
+<template-output>requirements</template-output>
+<elicit-required/>
+</step>
+
+<step n="3" goal="Validate">
+Check requirements against goals.
+<template-output>validated_requirements</template-output>
+</step>
+</workflow>
+```
+
+### Action Workflow
+
+```xml
+<workflow>
+<step n="1" goal="Analyze codebase">
+  <action>Find all API endpoints</action>
+  <action>Identify patterns</action>
+</step>
+
+<step n="2" goal="Refactor">
+  <repeat for-each="endpoint">
+    <action>Update to new pattern</action>
+  </repeat>
+</step>
+
+<step n="3" goal="Verify">
+  <action>Run tests</action>
+  <check if="tests fail">
+    <goto step="2">Fix issues</goto>
+  </check>
+</step>
+</workflow>
+```
+
+### Meta-Workflow
+
+```xml
+<workflow name="greenfield-app">
+<step n="1" goal="Discovery">
+  <invoke-workflow>product-brief</invoke-workflow>
+  <template-output>brief</template-output>
+</step>
+
+<step n="2" goal="Requirements">
+  <invoke-workflow input="{{brief}}">prd</invoke-workflow>
+  <template-output>prd</template-output>
+</step>
+
+<step n="3" goal="Architecture">
+  <invoke-workflow input="{{prd}}">architecture</invoke-workflow>
+  <template-output>architecture</template-output>
+</step>
+</workflow>
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Design Principles
+
+1. **Keep steps focused** - Single goal per step
+2. **Limit scope** - 5-10 steps maximum
+3. **Build progressively** - Start simple, add detail
+4. **Checkpoint often** - Save after major sections
+5. **Make sections optional** - Let users skip when appropriate
+
+### Instruction Guidelines
+
+1. **Be specific** - "Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about"
+2. **Provide examples** - Show expected output format
+3. **Set limits** - "3-5 items maximum"
+4. **Explain why** - Context helps AI make better decisions
+
+### Conditional Execution Best Practices
+
+**✅ DO:**
+
+- Use `<action if="">` for single conditional actions
+- Use `<check if="">...</check>` for blocks with multiple items
+- Always close `<check>` tags explicitly
+- Keep conditions simple and readable
+
+**❌ DON'T:**
+
+- Wrap single actions in `<check>` blocks (unnecessarily verbose)
+- Forget to close `<check>` tags
+- Nest too many levels (makes logic hard to follow)
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```xml
+<!-- ✅ Good: Single action -->
+<action if="file exists">Load configuration</action>
+
+<!-- ❌ Avoid: Unnecessary wrapper for single action -->
+<check if="file exists">
+  <action>Load configuration</action>
+</check>
+
+<!-- ✅ Good: Multiple actions in block -->
+<check if="validation fails">
+  <action>Log error details</action>
+  <action>Notify user</action>
+  <goto step="1">Retry input</goto>
+</check>
+```
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Missing critical headers** - Always include workflow engine references
+- **Variables not replaced** - Ensure names match exactly
+- **Too many steps** - Combine related actions
+- **No checkpoints** - Add `<template-output>` tags
+- **Vague instructions** - Be explicit about expectations
+- **Unclosed check tags** - Always close `<check if="">...</check>` blocks
+- **Wrong conditional pattern** - Use `<action if="">` for single items, `<check if="">` for blocks
+
+## Web Bundles
+
+Web bundles allow workflows to be deployed as self-contained packages for web environments.
+
+### When to Use Web Bundles
+
+- Deploying workflows to web-based AI platforms
+- Creating shareable workflow packages
+- Ensuring workflow portability without dependencies
+- Publishing workflows for public use
+
+### Web Bundle Requirements
+
+1. **Self-Contained**: No external dependencies
+2. **No Config Variables**: Cannot use `{config_source}` references
+3. **Complete File List**: Every referenced file must be listed
+4. **Relative Paths**: Use `bmad/` root paths (no `{project-root}`)
+
+### Creating a Web Bundle
+
+Add this section to your workflow.yaml:
+
+```yaml
+web_bundle:
+  name: 'workflow-name'
+  description: 'Workflow description'
+  author: 'Your Name'
+
+  # Core files (bmad/-relative paths)
+  instructions: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/instructions.md'
+  validation: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/checklist.md'
+  template: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/template.md'
+
+  # Data files (no config_source allowed)
+  data_file: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/data.csv'
+
+  # Complete file list - CRITICAL!
+  web_bundle_files:
+    - 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/instructions.md'
+    - 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/checklist.md'
+    - 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/template.md'
+    - 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/data.csv'
+    # Include ALL referenced files
+```
+
+### Converting Existing Workflows
+
+1. **Remove Config Dependencies**:
+   - Replace `{config_source}:variable` with hardcoded values
+   - Convert `{project-root}/bmad/` to `bmad/`
+
+2. **Inventory All Files**:
+   - Scan instructions.md for file references
+   - Check template.md for includes
+   - List all data files
+
+3. **Test Completeness**:
+   - Ensure no missing file references
+   - Verify all paths are relative to bmad/
+
+### Example: Complete Web Bundle
+
+```yaml
+web_bundle:
+  name: 'analyze-requirements'
+  description: 'Requirements analysis workflow'
+  author: 'BMad Team'

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Variables Not Replaced
+
+- Check exact name match
+- Verify `<template-output>` tag present
+- Ensure step generates the variable
+
+### Validation Fails
+
+- Review checklist specificity
+- Check for impossible requirements
+- Verify checklist matches template
+
+### Workflow Too Long
+
+- Combine related steps
+- Make sections optional
+- Reduce elicitation points
+
+### User Confusion
+
+- Add clearer step goals
+- Provide more examples
+- Explain section purpose
+
+---
+
+_For implementation details, see:_
+
+- `/src/core/tasks/workflow.xml` - Execution engine
+- `/bmad/bmm/workflows/` - Production examples
