+
+## Code of Conduct
+
+By participating in this project, you agree to abide by our Code of Conduct. Please read it before participating.
+
+## How to Contribute
+
+### Reporting Bugs
+
+- Check if the bug has already been reported in the Issues section
+- Include detailed steps to reproduce the bug
+- Include any relevant logs or screenshots
+
+### Suggesting Features
+
+- Check if the feature has already been suggested in the Issues section, and consider using the discussions tab in GitHub also. Explain the feature in detail and why it would be valuable.
+
+### Pull Request Process
+
+Please only propose small granular commits! If its large or significant, please discuss in the discussions tab and open up an issue first. I do not want you to waste your time on a potentially very large PR to have it rejected because it is not aligned or deviates from other planned changes. Communicate and lets work together to build and improve this great community project!
+
+**Important**: All contributions must align with our [Guiding Principles](GUIDING-PRINCIPLES.md). Key points:
+
+- 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 expansion packs for domain-specific features
+
+#### Which Branch for Your PR?
+
+**Submit to `next` branch** (most contributions):
+
+- ✨ New features or agents
+- 🎨 Enhancements to existing features
+- 📚 Documentation updates
+- ♻️ Code refactoring
+- ⚡ Performance improvements
+- 🧪 New tests
+- 🎁 New expansion packs
+
+**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 and don't depend on each other's merge order.
+
+#### Pull Request Steps
+
+1. Fork the repository
+2. Create a new branch (`git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name`)
+3. Make your changes
+4. Run any tests or linting to ensure quality
+5. Commit your changes with clear, descriptive messages following our commit message convention
+6. Push to your branch (`git push origin feature/your-feature-name`)
+7. Open a Pull Request against the main branch
+
+## Pull Request Description Guidelines
+
+Keep PR descriptions short and to the point following this template:
+
+### 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]
+
+## 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 and deliver unprecedented value to stakeholders through innovative approaches...
+
+✅ **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
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Follow the existing code style and conventions
+- Write clear comments for complex logic
+
+## License
+
+By contributing to this project, you agree that your contributions will be licensed under the same license as the project.

+# BMAD Method Guiding Principles
+
+The BMAD Method is a natural language framework for AI-assisted software development. These principles ensure contributions maintain the method's effectiveness.
+
+## Core Principles
+
+### 1. Dev Agents Must Be Lean
+
+- **Minimize dev agent dependencies**: Development agents that work in IDEs must have minimal context overhead
+- **Save context for code**: Every line counts - dev agents should focus on coding, not documentation
+- **Web agents can be larger**: Planning agents (PRD Writer, Architect) used in web UI can have more complex tasks and dependencies
+- **Small files, loaded on demand**: Multiple small, focused files are better than large files with many branches
+
+### 2. Natural Language First
+
+- **Everything is markdown**: Agents, tasks, templates - all written in plain English
+- **No code in core**: The framework itself contains no programming code, only natural language instructions
+- **Self-contained templates**: Templates include their own generation instructions using `[[LLM: ...]]` markup
+
+### 3. Agent and Task Design
+
+- **Agents define roles**: Each agent is a persona with specific expertise (e.g., Frontend Developer, API Developer)
+- **Tasks are procedures**: Step-by-step instructions an agent follows to complete work
+- **Templates are outputs**: Structured documents with embedded instructions for generation
+- **Dependencies matter**: Explicitly declare only what's needed
+
+## Practical Guidelines
+
+### When to Add to Core
+
+- Universal software development needs only
+- Doesn't bloat dev agent contexts
+- Follows existing agent/task/template patterns
+
+### When to Create Expansion Packs
+
+- Domain-specific needs beyond software development
+- Non-technical domains (business, wellness, education, creative)
+- Specialized technical domains (games, infrastructure, mobile)
+- Heavy documentation or knowledge bases
+- Anything that would bloat core agents
+
+See [Expansion Packs Guide](../docs/expansion-packs.md) for detailed examples and ideas.
+
+### Agent Design Rules
+
+1. **Web/Planning Agents**: Can have richer context, multiple tasks, extensive templates
+2. **Dev Agents**: Minimal dependencies, focused on code generation, lean task sets
+3. **All Agents**: Clear persona, specific expertise, well-defined capabilities
+
+### Task Writing Rules
+
+1. Write clear step-by-step procedures
+2. Use markdown formatting for readability
+3. Keep dev agent tasks focused and concise
+4. Planning tasks can be more elaborate
+5. **Prefer multiple small tasks over one large branching task**
+   - Instead of one task with many conditional paths
+   - Create multiple focused tasks the agent can choose from
+   - This keeps context overhead minimal
+6. **Reuse common tasks** - Don't create new document creation tasks
+   - Use the existing `create-doc` task
+   - Pass the appropriate template with embedded LLM instructions
+   - This maintains consistency and reduces duplication
+
+### Template Rules
+
+1. Include generation instructions with `[[LLM: ...]]` markup
+2. Provide clear structure for output
+3. Make templates reusable across agents
+4. Use standardized markup elements:
+   - `{{placeholders}}` for variables to be replaced
+   - `[[LLM: instructions]]` for AI-only processing (never shown to users)
+   - `REPEAT` sections for repeatable content blocks
+   - `^^CONDITION^^` blocks for conditional content
+   - `@{examples}` for guidance examples (never output to users)
+5. NEVER display template markup or LLM instructions to users
+6. Focus on clean output - all processing instructions stay internal
+
+## Remember
+
+- The power is in natural language orchestration, not code
+- Dev agents code, planning agents plan
+- Keep dev agents lean for maximum coding efficiency
+- Expansion packs handle specialized domains

-# BMad Method V1
+# BMAD-METHOD
 
-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.
+[![Version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/bmad-method?color=blue&label=version)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bmad-method)
+[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](LICENSE)
+[![Node.js Version](https://img.shields.io/badge/node-%3E%3D20.0.0-brightgreen)](https://nodejs.org)
+[![Discord](https://img.shields.io/badge/Discord-Join%20Community-7289da?logo=discord&logoColor=white)](https://discord.gg/g6ypHytrCB)
 
-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.
+**AI-Powered Agile Development Framework** - Transform your software development with specialized AI agents that work as your complete Agile team.
 
-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.
+📺 **[Subscribe to BMadCode on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@BMadCode?sub_confirmation=1)** - V4 walkthrough and comprehensive guide coming soon!
+
+⭐ **If you find this project helpful or useful, please give it a star!** It helps others discover BMAD-METHOD and you will be notified of updates!

+
+## Usage
+
+### With IDE Integration
+
+After installation with `--ide` flag:
+
+```bash
+# In Cursor
+@pm Create a PRD for a task management app
+
+# In Claude Code
+/architect Design a microservices architecture
+
+# In Windsurf
+@dev Implement story 1.3
+```
+
+### With Web UI (ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini)
+
+After uploading a bundle you can ask /help of the agent to learn what it can do
+
+### CLI Commands
+
+```bash
+# List all available agents
+npx bmad-method list
+
+# Install or update (automatically detects existing installations)
+npx bmad-method install
+
+# Check installation status
+npx bmad-method status
+```
+
+### Upgrading from V3 to V4
+
+If you have an existing BMAD-METHOD V3 project, simply run the installer in your project directory:
+
+```bash
+npx bmad-method install
+# The installer will automatically detect your V3 installation and offer to upgrade
+```
+
+The upgrade process will:
+
+1. Create a backup of your V3 files in `.bmad-v3-backup/`
+2. Install the new V4 `.bmad-core/` structure
+3. Migrate your documents (PRD, Architecture, Stories, Epics)
+4. Set up IDE integration for all V4 agents
+5. Create an install manifest for future updates
+
+After upgrading:
+
+1. Review your documents in the `docs/` folder - if you had a PRD or architecture in your old project, copy it from the backup to the docs folder if they are not there.
+2. Optionally run the `doc-migration-task` to align your documents with V4 templates - you can do this with your agent my saying something like: 'run {drag in task} against {drag prd or arch file from docs} to align with {drag the template from .bmad-core/templates/full-stack-architecture.md}
+3. If you have separate front-end and backend architecture docs you can modify step 2 to merge both into a single full stack architecture or separate Front and Back end.
+
+The reason #2 and 3 are optional is because now BMad V4 makes sharding optional for the SM. See [Core Configuration](#-core-configuration-new-in-v4)
+
+**Note**: The agents in `.bmad-core/` fully replace the items in `bmad-agent/` - you can remove the backup folder versions.
+
+### 🔧 Core Configuration (NEW in V4)
+
+**Critical**: V4 introduces `bmad-core/core-config.yml` - a powerful configuration file that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, whether it's V4-optimized or legacy. You can even now use non-standard PRDs and architectures!
+
+#### What is core-config.yml?
+
+This configuration file tells BMAD agents exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It's the key to V4's flexibility and backwards compatibility.
+
+#### Key Features
+
+- **Version Awareness**: Agents understand if your PRD/Architecture follows V4 conventions or earlier versions
+- **Flexible Document Locations**: Works whether your epics are embedded in PRD or properly sharded
+- **Developer Context**: Define which files the dev agent should always load
+- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting story implementation
+
+#### Why It Matters
+
+- **Use BMAD with ANY project structure** - V3, V4, or custom layouts
+- **No forced migrations** - Keep your existing document organization
+- **Customize developer workflow** - Specify exactly which files provide context
+- **Seamless upgrades** - Start with V3 docs and gradually adopt V4 patterns
+
+See the [detailed core-config.yml guide](docs/user-guide.md#core-configuration-coreconfigyml) for configuration examples and best practices.
+

-## 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. }

+# Architect Solution Validation Checklist
+
+This checklist serves as a comprehensive framework for the Architect to validate the technical design and architecture before development execution. The Architect should systematically work through each item, ensuring the architecture is robust, scalable, secure, and aligned with the product requirements.
+
+[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - REQUIRED ARTIFACTS
+
+Before proceeding with this checklist, ensure you have access to:
+
+1. architecture.md - The primary architecture document (check docs/architecture.md)
+2. prd.md - Product Requirements Document for requirements alignment (check docs/prd.md)
+3. frontend-architecture.md or fe-architecture.md - If this is a UI project (check docs/frontend-architecture.md)
+4. Any system diagrams referenced in the architecture
+5. API documentation if available
+6. Technology stack details and version specifications
+
+IMPORTANT: If any required documents are missing or inaccessible, immediately ask the user for their location or content before proceeding.
+
+PROJECT TYPE DETECTION:
+First, determine the project type by checking:
+
+- Does the architecture include a frontend/UI component?
+- Is there a frontend-architecture.md document?
+- Does the PRD mention user interfaces or frontend requirements?
+
+If this is a backend-only or service-only project:
+
+- Skip sections marked with [[FRONTEND ONLY]]
+- Focus extra attention on API design, service architecture, and integration patterns

+# Change Navigation Checklist
+
+**Purpose:** To systematically guide the selected Agent and user through the analysis and planning required when a significant change (pivot, tech issue, missing requirement, failed story) is identified during the BMAD workflow.
+
+**Instructions:** Review each item with the user. Mark `[x]` for completed/confirmed, `[N/A]` if not applicable, or add notes for discussion points.
+
+[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - CHANGE NAVIGATION
+
+Changes during development are inevitable, but how we handle them determines project success or failure.
+
+Before proceeding, understand:
+
+1. This checklist is for SIGNIFICANT changes that affect the project direction
+2. Minor adjustments within a story don't require this process
+3. The goal is to minimize wasted work while adapting to new realities
+4. User buy-in is critical - they must understand and approve changes
+
+Required context:
+
+- The triggering story or issue
+- Current project state (completed stories, current epic)
+- Access to PRD, architecture, and other key documents
+- Understanding of remaining work planned
+
+APPROACH:
+This is an interactive process with the user. Work through each section together, discussing implications and options. The user makes final decisions, but provide expert guidance on technical feasibility and impact.
+
+REMEMBER: Changes are opportunities to improve, not failures. Handle them professionally and constructively.]]
+
+---
+
+## 1. Understand the Trigger & Context
+
+[[LLM: Start by fully understanding what went wrong and why. Don't jump to solutions yet. Ask probing questions:
+
+- What exactly happened that triggered this review?
+- Is this a one-time issue or symptomatic of a larger problem?
+- Could this have been anticipated earlier?
+- What assumptions were incorrect?
+
+Be specific and factual, not blame-oriented.]]
+
+- [ ] **Identify Triggering Story:** Clearly identify the story (or stories) that revealed the issue.
+- [ ] **Define the Issue:** Articulate the core problem precisely.
+  - [ ] Is it a technical limitation/dead-end?
+  - [ ] Is it a newly discovered requirement?
+  - [ ] Is it a fundamental misunderstanding of existing requirements?
+  - [ ] Is it a necessary pivot based on feedback or new information?
+  - [ ] Is it a failed/abandoned story needing a new approach?
+- [ ] **Assess Initial Impact:** Describe the immediate observed consequences (e.g., blocked progress, incorrect functionality, non-viable tech).
+- [ ] **Gather Evidence:** Note any specific logs, error messages, user feedback, or analysis that supports the issue definition.
+
+## 2. Epic Impact Assessment
+
+[[LLM: Changes ripple through the project structure. Systematically evaluate:
+
+1. Can we salvage the current epic with modifications?
+2. Do future epics still make sense given this change?
+3. Are we creating or eliminating dependencies?
+4. Does the epic sequence need reordering?
+
+Think about both immediate and downstream effects.]]
+
+- [ ] **Analyze Current Epic:**
+  - [ ] Can the current epic containing the trigger story still be completed?
+  - [ ] Does the current epic need modification (story changes, additions, removals)?
+  - [ ] Should the current epic be abandoned or fundamentally redefined?
+- [ ] **Analyze Future Epics:**
+  - [ ] Review all remaining planned epics.
+  - [ ] Does the issue require changes to planned stories in future epics?
+  - [ ] Does the issue invalidate any future epics?
+  - [ ] Does the issue necessitate the creation of entirely new epics?
+  - [ ] Should the order/priority of future epics be changed?
+- [ ] **Summarize Epic Impact:** Briefly document the overall effect on the project's epic structure and flow.
+
+## 3. Artifact Conflict & Impact Analysis
+
+[[LLM: Documentation drives development in BMAD. Check each artifact:
+
+1. Does this change invalidate documented decisions?
+2. Are architectural assumptions still valid?
+3. Do user flows need rethinking?
+4. Are technical constraints different than documented?
+
+Be thorough - missed conflicts cause future problems.]]
+
+- [ ] **Review PRD:**
+  - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the core goals or requirements stated in the PRD?
+  - [ ] Does the PRD need clarification or updates based on the new understanding?
+- [ ] **Review Architecture Document:**
+  - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the documented architecture (components, patterns, tech choices)?
+  - [ ] Are specific components/diagrams/sections impacted?
+  - [ ] Does the technology list need updating?
+  - [ ] Do data models or schemas need revision?
+  - [ ] Are external API integrations affected?
+- [ ] **Review Frontend Spec (if applicable):**
+  - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the FE architecture, component library choice, or UI/UX design?
+  - [ ] Are specific FE components or user flows impacted?
+- [ ] **Review Other Artifacts (if applicable):**
+  - [ ] Consider impact on deployment scripts, IaC, monitoring setup, etc.
+- [ ] **Summarize Artifact Impact:** List all artifacts requiring updates and the nature of the changes needed.
+
+## 4. Path Forward Evaluation
+
+[[LLM: Present options clearly with pros/cons. For each path:
+
+1. What's the effort required?
+2. What work gets thrown away?
+3. What risks are we taking?
+4. How does this affect timeline?
+5. Is this sustainable long-term?
+
+Be honest about trade-offs. There's rarely a perfect solution.]]
+
+- [ ] **Option 1: Direct Adjustment / Integration:**
+  - [ ] Can the issue be addressed by modifying/adding future stories within the existing plan?
+  - [ ] Define the scope and nature of these adjustments.
+  - [ ] Assess feasibility, effort, and risks of this path.
+- [ ] **Option 2: Potential Rollback:**
+  - [ ] Would reverting completed stories significantly simplify addressing the issue?
+  - [ ] Identify specific stories/commits to consider for rollback.
+  - [ ] Assess the effort required for rollback.
+  - [ ] Assess the impact of rollback (lost work, data implications).
+  - [ ] Compare the net benefit/cost vs. Direct Adjustment.
+- [ ] **Option 3: PRD MVP Review & Potential Re-scoping:**
+  - [ ] Is the original PRD MVP still achievable given the issue and constraints?
+  - [ ] Does the MVP scope need reduction (removing features/epics)?
+  - [ ] Do the core MVP goals need modification?
+  - [ ] Are alternative approaches needed to meet the original MVP intent?
+  - [ ] **Extreme Case:** Does the issue necessitate a fundamental replan or potentially a new PRD V2 (to be handled by PM)?
+- [ ] **Select Recommended Path:** Based on the evaluation, agree on the most viable path forward.
+
+## 5. Sprint Change Proposal Components
+
+[[LLM: The proposal must be actionable and clear. Ensure:
+
+1. The issue is explained in plain language
+2. Impacts are quantified where possible
+3. The recommended path has clear rationale
+4. Next steps are specific and assigned
+5. Success criteria for the change are defined
+
+This proposal guides all subsequent work.]]
+
+(Ensure all agreed-upon points from previous sections are captured in the proposal)
+
+- [ ] **Identified Issue Summary:** Clear, concise problem statement.
+- [ ] **Epic Impact Summary:** How epics are affected.
+- [ ] **Artifact Adjustment Needs:** List of documents to change.
+- [ ] **Recommended Path Forward:** Chosen solution with rationale.
+- [ ] **PRD MVP Impact:** Changes to scope/goals (if any).
+- [ ] **High-Level Action Plan:** Next steps for stories/updates.
+- [ ] **Agent Handoff Plan:** Identify roles needed (PM, Arch, Design Arch, PO).
+
+## 6. Final Review & Handoff
+
+[[LLM: Changes require coordination. Before concluding:
+
+1. Is the user fully aligned with the plan?
+2. Do all stakeholders understand the impacts?
+3. Are handoffs to other agents clear?
+4. Is there a rollback plan if the change fails?
+5. How will we validate the change worked?
+
+Get explicit approval - implicit agreement causes problems.
+
+FINAL REPORT:
+After completing the checklist, provide a concise summary:
+
+- What changed and why
+- What we're doing about it
+- Who needs to do what
+- When we'll know if it worked
+
+Keep it action-oriented and forward-looking.]]
+
+- [ ] **Review Checklist:** Confirm all relevant items were discussed.
+- [ ] **Review Sprint Change Proposal:** Ensure it accurately reflects the discussion and decisions.
+- [ ] **User Approval:** Obtain explicit user approval for the proposal.
+- [ ] **Confirm Next Steps:** Reiterate the handoff plan and the next actions to be taken by specific agents.

+
+2. Is this a BROWNFIELD project (enhancing existing system)?
+
+   - Look for: References to existing codebase, enhancement/modification language
+   - Check for: brownfield-prd.md, brownfield-architecture.md, existing system analysis
+
+3. Does the project include UI/UX components?
+   - Check for: frontend-architecture.md, UI/UX specifications, design files

+# Story Draft Checklist
+
+The Scrum Master should use this checklist to validate that each story contains sufficient context for a developer agent to implement it successfully, while assuming the dev agent has reasonable capabilities to figure things out.
+
+[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - STORY DRAFT VALIDATION
+
+Before proceeding with this checklist, ensure you have access to:
+
+1. The story document being validated (usually in docs/stories/ or provided directly)
+2. The parent epic context
+3. Any referenced architecture or design documents
+4. Previous related stories if this builds on prior work
+
+IMPORTANT: This checklist validates individual stories BEFORE implementation begins.
+
+VALIDATION PRINCIPLES:
+
+1. Clarity - A developer should understand WHAT to build
+2. Context - WHY this is being built and how it fits
+3. Guidance - Key technical decisions and patterns to follow
+4. Testability - How to verify the implementation works
+5. Self-Contained - Most info needed is in the story itself
+
+REMEMBER: We assume competent developer agents who can:
+
+- Research documentation and codebases
+- Make reasonable technical decisions
+- Follow established patterns
+- Ask for clarification when truly stuck
+
+We're checking for SUFFICIENT guidance, not exhaustive detail.]]
+
+## 1. GOAL & CONTEXT CLARITY
+
+[[LLM: Without clear goals, developers build the wrong thing. Verify:
+
+1. The story states WHAT functionality to implement
+2. The business value or user benefit is clear
+3. How this fits into the larger epic/product is explained
+4. Dependencies are explicit ("requires Story X to be complete")
+5. Success looks like something specific, not vague]]
+
+- [ ] Story goal/purpose is clearly stated
+- [ ] Relationship to epic goals is evident
+- [ ] How the story fits into overall system flow is explained
+- [ ] Dependencies on previous stories are identified (if applicable)
+- [ ] Business context and value are clear
+
+## 2. TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE
+
+[[LLM: Developers need enough technical context to start coding. Check:
+
+1. Key files/components to create or modify are mentioned
+2. Technology choices are specified where non-obvious
+3. Integration points with existing code are identified
+4. Data models or API contracts are defined or referenced
+5. Non-standard patterns or exceptions are called out
+
+Note: We don't need every file listed - just the important ones.]]
+
+- [ ] Key files to create/modify are identified (not necessarily exhaustive)
+- [ ] Technologies specifically needed for this story are mentioned
+- [ ] Critical APIs or interfaces are sufficiently described
+- [ ] Necessary data models or structures are referenced
+- [ ] Required environment variables are listed (if applicable)
+- [ ] Any exceptions to standard coding patterns are noted
+
+## 3. REFERENCE EFFECTIVENESS
+
+[[LLM: References should help, not create a treasure hunt. Ensure:
+
+1. References point to specific sections, not whole documents
+2. The relevance of each reference is explained
+3. Critical information is summarized in the story
+4. References are accessible (not broken links)
+5. Previous story context is summarized if needed]]
+
+- [ ] References to external documents point to specific relevant sections
+- [ ] Critical information from previous stories is summarized (not just referenced)
+- [ ] Context is provided for why references are relevant
+- [ ] References use consistent format (e.g., `docs/filename.md#section`)
+
+## 4. SELF-CONTAINMENT ASSESSMENT
+
+[[LLM: Stories should be mostly self-contained to avoid context switching. Verify:
+
+1. Core requirements are in the story, not just in references
+2. Domain terms are explained or obvious from context
+3. Assumptions are stated explicitly
+4. Edge cases are mentioned (even if deferred)
+5. The story could be understood without reading 10 other documents]]
+
+- [ ] Core information needed is included (not overly reliant on external docs)
+- [ ] Implicit assumptions are made explicit
+- [ ] Domain-specific terms or concepts are explained
+- [ ] Edge cases or error scenarios are addressed
+
+## 5. TESTING GUIDANCE
+
+[[LLM: Testing ensures the implementation actually works. Check:
+
+1. Test approach is specified (unit, integration, e2e)
+2. Key test scenarios are listed
+3. Success criteria are measurable
+4. Special test considerations are noted
+5. Acceptance criteria in the story are testable]]
+
+- [ ] Required testing approach is outlined
+- [ ] Key test scenarios are identified
+- [ ] Success criteria are defined
+- [ ] Special testing considerations are noted (if applicable)
+
+## VALIDATION RESULT
+
+[[LLM: FINAL STORY VALIDATION REPORT
+
+Generate a concise validation report:
+
+1. Quick Summary
+
+   - Story readiness: READY / NEEDS REVISION / BLOCKED
+   - Clarity score (1-10)
+   - Major gaps identified
+
+2. Fill in the validation table with:
+
+   - PASS: Requirements clearly met
+   - PARTIAL: Some gaps but workable
+   - FAIL: Critical information missing
+
+3. Specific Issues (if any)
+
+   - List concrete problems to fix
+   - Suggest specific improvements
+   - Identify any blocking dependencies
+
+4. Developer Perspective
+   - Could YOU implement this story as written?
+   - What questions would you have?
+   - What might cause delays or rework?
+
+Be pragmatic - perfect documentation doesn't exist. Focus on whether a competent developer can succeed with this story.]]

+# BMAD Knowledge Base
+
+## Overview
+
+BMAD-METHOD (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-driven Development) is a framework that combines AI agents with Agile development methodologies. The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role
+- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization
+- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs
+- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists
+- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control
+
+### When to Use BMAD
+
+- **New Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end development
+- **Existing Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions and enhancements
+- **Team Collaboration**: Multiple roles working together
+- **Quality Assurance**: Structured testing and validation
+- **Documentation**: Professional PRDs, architecture docs, user stories
+
+## How BMAD Works
+
+### The Core Method
+
+BMAD transforms you into a "Vibe CEO" - directing a team of specialized AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how:
+
+1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide vision and decisions; agents handle implementation details
+2. **Specialized Agents**: Each agent masters one role (PM, Developer, Architect, etc.)
+3. **Structured Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from idea to deployed code
+4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective
+
+### The Two-Phase Approach
+
+**Phase 1: Planning (Web UI - Cost Effective)**
+- Use large context windows (Gemini's 1M tokens)
+- Generate comprehensive documents (PRD, Architecture)
+- Leverage multiple agents for brainstorming
+- Create once, use throughout development
+
+**Phase 2: Development (IDE - Implementation)**
+- Shard documents into manageable pieces
+- Execute focused SM → Dev cycles
+- One story at a time, sequential progress
+- Real-time file operations and testing
+
+### The Development Loop
+
+```text
+1. SM Agent (New Chat) → Creates next story from sharded docs
+2. You → Review and approve story
+3. Dev Agent (New Chat) → Implements approved story
+4. QA Agent (New Chat) → Reviews and refactors code
+5. You → Verify completion
+6. Repeat until epic complete
+```
+
+### Why This Works
+
+- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance
+- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality
+- **Incremental Progress**: Small stories = manageable complexity
+- **Human Oversight**: You validate each step = quality control
+- **Document-Driven**: Specs guide everything = consistency
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Quick Start Options
+
+#### Option 1: Web UI
+**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately
+
+1. Navigate to `dist/teams/`
+2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content
+3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT
+4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
+5. Type `/help` to see available commands
+
+#### Option 2: IDE Integration
+**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code users
+
+```bash
+# Interactive installation (recommended)
+npx bmad-method install
+```
+
+**Installation Steps**:
+- Choose "Complete installation"
+- Select your IDE from supported options:
+  - **Cursor**: Native AI integration
+  - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE
+  - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities
+  - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features
+  - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support
+
+**Note for VS Code Users**: BMAD-METHOD assumes when you mention "VS Code" that you're using it with an AI-powered extension like GitHub Copilot, Cline, or Roo. Standard VS Code without AI capabilities cannot run BMAD agents. The installer includes built-in support for Cline and Roo.
+
+**Verify Installation**:
+- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents
+- IDE-specific integration files created
+- All agent commands/rules/modes available
+
+**Remember**: At its core, BMAD-METHOD is about mastering and harnessing prompt engineering. Any IDE with AI agent support can use BMAD - the framework provides the structured prompts and workflows that make AI development effective
+
+### Environment Selection Guide
+
+**Use Web UI for**:
+- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture)
+- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini)
+- Brainstorming and analysis phases
+- Multi-agent consultation and planning
+
+**Use IDE for**:
+- Active development and coding
+- File operations and project integration
+- Document sharding and story management
+- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles)
+
+**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development.
+
+### IDE-Only Workflow Considerations
+
+**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs:
+
+**Pros of IDE-Only**:
+- Single environment workflow
+- Direct file operations from start
+- No copy/paste between environments
+- Immediate project integration
+
+**Cons of IDE-Only**:
+- Higher token costs for large document creation
+- Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model)
+- May hit limits during planning phases
+- Less cost-effective for brainstorming
+
+**Using Web Agents in IDE**:
+- **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts
+- **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context
+- **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization
+
+**About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**:
+- **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT...
+- **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results
+- **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs
+- **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but...
+
+**CRITICAL RULE for Development**:
+- **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator
+- **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator
+- **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow
+- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM → Dev for implementation
+
+**Best Practice for IDE-Only**:
+1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master)
+2. Create documents directly in project
+3. Shard immediately after creation
+4. **MUST switch to SM agent** for story creation
+5. **MUST switch to Dev agent** for implementation
+6. Keep planning and coding in separate chat sessions
+
+## Core Configuration (core-config.yml)
+
+**New in V4**: The `bmad-core/core-config.yml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility.
+
+### What is core-config.yml?
+
+This configuration file acts as a map for BMAD agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables:
+
+- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures
+- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live
+- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load
+- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting
+
+### Key Configuration Areas
+
+#### PRD Configuration
+- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions
+- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true)
+- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files
+- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`)
+
+#### Architecture Configuration
+- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded)
+- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components
+- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live
+
+#### Developer Files
+- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task
+- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures
+- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations
+
+### Why It Matters
+
+1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure
+2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace
+3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMAD to match your team's process
+4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration
+
+### Common Configurations
+
+**Legacy V3 Project**:
+```yaml
+prdVersion: v3
+prdSharded: false
+architectureVersion: v3
+architectureSharded: false
+```
+
+**V4 Optimized Project**:
+```yaml
+prdVersion: v4
+prdSharded: true
+prdShardedLocation: docs/prd
+architectureVersion: v4
+architectureSharded: true
+architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture
+```
+
+## Core Philosophy
+
+### Vibe CEO'ing
+
+You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to:
+
+- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives
+- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality
+- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents
+
+### Core Principles
+
+1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate.
+2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs.
+3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment.
+4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process.
+5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs.
+6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs.
+7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand.
+8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges.
+
+### Key Workflow Principles
+
+1. **Agent Specialization**: Each agent has specific expertise and responsibilities
+2. **Clean Handoffs**: Always start fresh when switching between agents
+3. **Status Tracking**: Maintain story statuses (Draft → Approved → InProgress → Done)
+4. **Iterative Development**: Complete one story before starting the next
+5. **Documentation First**: Always start with solid PRD and architecture
+

+
+## Core Architecture
+
+### System Overview
+
+The BMAD-Method is built around a modular architecture centered on the `bmad-core` directory, which serves as the brain of the entire system. This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini).
+
+### Key Architectural Components
+
+#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`)
+- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.)
+- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies
+- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use
+- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context
+
+#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`)
+- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes
+- **Examples**: `team-all.yml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yml` (full-stack development)
+- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments
+
+#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`)
+- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types
+- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development
+- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions
+
+#### 4. Reusable Resources
+- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories
+- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story"
+- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review
+- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences
+
+### Dual Environment Architecture
+
+#### IDE Environment
+
+- Users interact directly with agent markdown files
+- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically
+- Supports real-time file operations and project integration
+- Optimized for development workflow execution
+
+#### Web UI Environment
+
+- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assest with an orchestrating agent
+- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team
+- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces
+- Provides complete context in one package
+
+### Template Processing System
+
+BMAD employs a sophisticated template system with three key components:
+
+1. **Template Format** (`utils/template-format.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives
+2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction
+3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming
+
+**Template Features**:
+
+- **Self-contained**: Templates embed both output structure and processing instructions
+- **Variable Substitution**: `{{placeholders}}` for dynamic content
+- **AI Processing Directives**: `[[LLM: instructions]]` for AI-only processing
+- **Interactive Refinement**: Built-in elicitation processes for quality improvement
+
+### Technical Preferences Integration
+
+The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that:
+- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects
+- Eliminates repetitive technology specification
+- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences
+- Evolves over time with lessons learned
+
+### Build and Delivery Process
+
+The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by:
+1. Reading agent or team definition files
+2. Recursively resolving all dependencies
+3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators
+4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces
+
+This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMAD powerful.
+
+## Complete Development Workflow
+
+### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended - Especially Gemini!)
+
+**Ideal for cost efficiency with Gemini's massive context:**
+
+**For Brownfield Projects - Start Here!**:
+1. **Upload entire project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip)
+2. **Document existing system**: `/analyst` → `*document-project`
+3. **Creates comprehensive docs** from entire codebase analysis
+
+**For All Projects**:
+1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis
+2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user)
+3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements
+4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation
+5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency
+6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md`
+
+#### Example Planning Prompts
+
+**For PRD Creation**:
+```text
+"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose].
+Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD."
+```
+
+**For Architecture Design**:
+```text
+"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture
+that can handle [specific requirements]."
+```
+
+### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE
+
+**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:**
+
+- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding
+- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks
+- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project
+
+### IDE Development Workflow
+
+**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder
+
+1. **Document Sharding** (CRITICAL STEP): 
+   - Documents created by PM/Architect (in Web or IDE) MUST be sharded for development
+   - Two methods to shard:
+     a) **Manual**: Drag `shard-doc` task + document file into chat
+     b) **Agent**: Ask `@bmad-master` or `@po` to shard documents
+   - Shards `docs/prd.md` → `docs/prd/` folder
+   - Shards `docs/architecture.md` → `docs/architecture/` folder
+   - **WARNING**: Do NOT shard in Web UI - copying many small files is painful!
+
+2. **Verify Sharded Content**:
+   - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order
+   - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference
+   - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation
+
+**Resulting Folder Structure**:
+- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections
+- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections
+- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories
+
+3. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time):
+
+   **CRITICAL CONTEXT MANAGEMENT**:
+   - **Context windows matter!** Always use fresh, clean context windows
+   - **Model selection matters!** Use most powerful thinking model for SM story creation
+   - **ALWAYS start new chat between SM, Dev, and QA work**
+
+   **Step 1 - Story Creation**: 
+   - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** → Select powerful model → `@sm` → `*create`
+   - SM executes create-next-story task
+   - Review generated story in `docs/stories/`
+   - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved"
+   
+   **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: 
+   - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** → `@dev`
+   - Agent asks which story to implement
+   - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time
+   - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion
+   - Dev maintains File List of all changes
+   - Dev marks story as "Review" when complete with all tests passing
+   
+   **Step 3 - Senior QA Review**:
+   - **NEW CLEAN CHAT** → `@qa` → execute review-story task
+   - QA performs senior developer code review
+   - QA can refactor and improve code directly
+   - QA appends results to story's QA Results section
+   - If approved: Status → "Done"
+   - If changes needed: Status stays "Review" with unchecked items for dev
+   
+   **Step 4 - Repeat**: Continue SM → Dev → QA cycle until all epic stories complete
+
+**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete.
+
+### Status Tracking Workflow
+
+Stories progress through defined statuses:
+- **Draft** → **Approved** → **InProgress** → **Done**
+
+Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding.
+
+### Workflow Types
+
+#### Greenfield Development
+- Business analysis and market research
+- Product requirements and feature definition  
+- System architecture and design
+- Development execution
+- Testing and deployment
+
+#### Brownfield Enhancement (Existing Projects)
+
+**Key Concept**: Brownfield development requires comprehensive documentation of your existing project for AI agents to understand context, patterns, and constraints.
+
+**Complete Brownfield Workflow Options**:
+
+**Option 1: PRD-First (Recommended for Large Codebases/Monorepos)**:
+1. **Upload project to Gemini Web** (GitHub URL, files, or zip)
+2. **Create PRD first**: `@pm` → `*create-doc brownfield-prd`
+3. **Focused documentation**: `@analyst` → `*document-project`
+   - Analyst asks for focus if no PRD provided
+   - Choose "single document" format for Web UI
+   - Uses PRD to document ONLY relevant areas
+   - Creates one comprehensive markdown file
+   - Avoids bloating docs with unused code
+
+**Option 2: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)**:
+1. **Upload project to Gemini Web**
+2. **Document everything**: `@analyst` → `*document-project`
+3. **Then create PRD**: `@pm` → `*create-doc brownfield-prd`
+   - More thorough but can create excessive documentation
+
+2. **Requirements Gathering**:
+   - **Brownfield PRD**: Use PM agent with `brownfield-prd-tmpl`
+   - **Analyzes**: Existing system, constraints, integration points
+   - **Defines**: Enhancement scope, compatibility requirements, risk assessment
+   - **Creates**: Epic and story structure for changes
+
+3. **Architecture Planning**:
+   - **Brownfield Architecture**: Use Architect agent with `brownfield-architecture-tmpl`
+   - **Integration Strategy**: How new features integrate with existing system
+   - **Migration Planning**: Gradual rollout and backwards compatibility
+   - **Risk Mitigation**: Addressing potential breaking changes
+
+**Brownfield-Specific Resources**:
+
+**Templates**:
+- `brownfield-prd-tmpl.md`: Comprehensive enhancement planning with existing system analysis
+- `brownfield-architecture-tmpl.md`: Integration-focused architecture for existing systems
+
+**Tasks**:
+- `document-project`: Generates comprehensive documentation from existing codebase
+- `brownfield-create-epic`: Creates single epic for focused enhancements (when full PRD is overkill)
+- `brownfield-create-story`: Creates individual story for small, isolated changes
+
+**When to Use Each Approach**:
+
+**Full Brownfield Workflow** (Recommended for):
+- Major feature additions
+- System modernization
+- Complex integrations
+- Multiple related changes
+
+**Quick Epic/Story Creation** (Use when):
+- Single, focused enhancement
+- Isolated bug fixes
+- Small feature additions
+- Well-documented existing system
+
+**Critical Success Factors**:
+1. **Documentation First**: Always run `document-project` if docs are outdated/missing
+2. **Context Matters**: Provide agents access to relevant code sections
+3. **Integration Focus**: Emphasize compatibility and non-breaking changes
+4. **Incremental Approach**: Plan for gradual rollout and testing
+
+**For detailed guide**: See `docs/working-in-the-brownfield.md`
+
+## Document Creation Best Practices
+
+### Required File Naming for Framework Integration
+
+- `docs/prd.md` - Product Requirements Document
+- `docs/architecture.md` - System Architecture Document
+
+**Why These Names Matter**:
+- Agents automatically reference these files during development
+- Sharding tasks expect these specific filenames
+- Workflow automation depends on standard naming
+
+### Cost-Effective Document Creation Workflow
+
+**Recommended for Large Documents (PRD, Architecture):**
+
+1. **Use Web UI**: Create documents in web interface for cost efficiency
+2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your project
+3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md`
+4. **Switch to IDE**: Use IDE agents for development and smaller documents
+
+### Document Sharding
+
+Templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded:
+
+**Original PRD**:
+```markdown
+## Goals and Background Context
+## Requirements  
+## User Interface Design Goals
+## Success Metrics
+```
+
+**After Sharding**:
+- `docs/prd/goals-and-background-context.md`
+- `docs/prd/requirements.md`
+- `docs/prd/user-interface-design-goals.md`
+- `docs/prd/success-metrics.md`
+
+Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic sharding.
+
+## Usage Patterns and Best Practices
+
+### Environment-Specific Usage
+
+**Web UI Best For**:
+- Initial planning and documentation phases
+- Cost-effective large document creation
+- Agent consultation and brainstorming
+- Multi-agent workflows with orchestrator
+
+**IDE Best For**:
+- Active development and implementation
+- File operations and project integration
+- Story management and development cycles
+- Code review and debugging
+
+### Quality Assurance
+
+- Use appropriate agents for specialized tasks
+- Follow Agile ceremonies and review processes
+- Maintain document consistency with PO agent
+- Regular validation with checklists and templates
+
+### Performance Optimization
+
+- Use specific agents vs. `bmad-master` for focused tasks
+- Choose appropriate team size for project needs
+- Leverage technical preferences for consistency
+- Regular context management and cache clearing
+
+## Success Tips
+
+- **Use Gemini for big picture planning** - The team-fullstack bundle provides collaborative expertise
+- **Use bmad-master for document organization** - Sharding creates manageable chunks
+- **Follow the SM → Dev cycle religiously** - This ensures systematic progress
+- **Keep conversations focused** - One agent, one task per conversation
+- **Review everything** - Always review and approve before marking complete
+
+## Contributing to BMAD-METHOD
+
+### Quick Contribution Guidelines
+
+For full details, see `CONTRIBUTING.md`. Key points:
+
+**Fork Workflow**:
+1. Fork the repository
+2. Create feature branches
+3. Submit PRs to `next` branch (default) or `main` for critical fixes only
+4. Keep PRs small: 200-400 lines ideal, 800 lines maximum
+5. One feature/fix per PR
+
+**PR Requirements**:
+- Clear descriptions (max 200 words) with What/Why/How/Testing
+- Use conventional commits (feat:, fix:, docs:)
+- Atomic commits - one logical change per commit
+- Must align with guiding principles
+
+**Core Principles** (from GUIDING-PRINCIPLES.md):
+- **Dev Agents Must Be Lean**: Minimize dependencies, save context for code
+- **Natural Language First**: Everything in markdown, no code in core
+- **Core vs Expansion Packs**: Core for universal needs, packs for specialized domains
+- **Design Philosophy**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan"
+

+# Advanced Elicitation Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+- Provide optional reflective and brainstorming actions to enhance content quality
+- Enable deeper exploration of ideas through structured elicitation techniques
+- Support iterative refinement through multiple analytical perspectives
+
+## Task Instructions
+
+### 1. Section Context and Review
+
+[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a section:
+
+1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented (e.g., "Please review the technology choices for completeness and alignment with your project needs. Pay special attention to version numbers and any missing categories.")
+
+2. If the section contains Mermaid diagrams, explain each diagram briefly before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The component diagram shows the main system modules and their interactions. Notice how the API Gateway routes requests to different services.")
+
+3. If the section contains multiple distinct items (like multiple components, multiple patterns, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to:
+
+   - The entire section as a whole
+   - Individual items within the section (specify which item when selecting an action)
+
+4. Then present the action list as specified below.]]
+
+### 2. Ask for Review and Present Action List
+
+[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Reflective, Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple items in the section, mention they can specify which item(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection. If an elicitation action (0-8) is chosen, execute it and then re-offer this combined review/elicitation choice. If option 9 is chosen, or if the user provides direct feedback, proceed accordingly.]]
+
+**Present the numbered list (0-9) with this exact format:**
+
+```text
+**Advanced Reflective, Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions**
+Choose an action (0-9 - 9 to bypass - HELP for explanation of these options):
+
+0. Expand or Contract for Audience
+1. Explain Reasoning (CoT Step-by-Step)
+2. Critique and Refine
+3. Analyze Logical Flow and Dependencies
+4. Assess Alignment with Overall Goals
+5. Identify Potential Risks and Unforeseen Issues
+6. Challenge from Critical Perspective (Self or Other Persona)
+7. Explore Diverse Alternatives (ToT-Inspired)
+8. Hindsight is 20/20: The 'If Only...' Reflection
+9. Proceed / No Further Actions
+```
+
+### 2. Processing Guidelines
+
+**Do NOT show:**
+
+- The full protocol text with `[[LLM: ...]]` instructions
+- Detailed explanations of each option unless executing or the user asks, when giving the definition you can modify to tie its relevance
+- Any internal template markup
+
+**After user selection from the list:**
+
+- Execute the chosen action according to the protocol instructions below
+- Ask if they want to select another action or proceed with option 9 once complete
+- Continue until user selects option 9 or indicates completion
+
+## Action Definitions
+
+0. Expand or Contract for Audience
+   [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the content (add more detail, elaborate) or 'contract' it (simplify, clarify, make more concise). Also, ask if there's a specific target audience they have in mind. Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current role's perspective, tailored to the specified audience if provided.]]
+
+1. Explain Reasoning (CoT Step-by-Step)
+   [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step thinking process, characteristic of your role, that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this content.]]
+
+2. Critique and Refine
+   [[LLM: From your current role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for flaws, inconsistencies, or areas for improvement, and then suggest a refined version reflecting your expertise.]]
+
+3. Analyze Logical Flow and Dependencies
+   [[LLM: From your role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical progression, internal consistency, and any relevant dependencies. Confirm if elements are presented in an effective order.]]
+
+4. Assess Alignment with Overall Goals
+   [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current content contributes to the stated overall goals of the document, interpreting this from your specific role's perspective and identifying any misalignments you perceive.]]
+
+5. Identify Potential Risks and Unforeseen Issues
+   [[LLM: Based on your role's expertise, brainstorm potential risks, overlooked edge cases, or unintended consequences related to the current content or proposal.]]
+
+6. Challenge from Critical Perspective (Self or Other Persona)
+   [[LLM: Adopt a critical perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another role or persona (e.g., 'as a customer', 'as [Another Persona Name]'), critique the content or play devil's advocate from that specified viewpoint. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your own current persona's viewpoint, arguing against the proposal or current content and highlighting weaknesses or counterarguments specific to your concerns. This can also randomly include YAGNI when appropriate, such as when trimming the scope of an MVP, the perspective might challenge the need for something to cut MVP scope.]]
+
+7. Explore Diverse Alternatives (ToT-Inspired)
+   [[LLM: From your role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches or solutions to the current topic. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2 distinct alternatives, detailing the pros, cons, and potential implications you foresee for each.]]
+
+8. Hindsight is 20/20: The 'If Only...' Reflection
+   [[LLM: In your current persona, imagine it's a retrospective for a project based on the current content. What's the one 'if only we had known/done X...' that your role would humorously or dramatically highlight, along with the imagined consequences?]]
+
+9. Proceed / No Further Actions
+   [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]]

+# Brainstorming Techniques Task
+
+This task provides a comprehensive toolkit of creative brainstorming techniques for ideation and innovative thinking. The analyst can use these techniques to facilitate productive brainstorming sessions with users.
+
+## Process
+
+### 1. Session Setup
+
+[[LLM: Begin by understanding the brainstorming context and goals. Ask clarifying questions if needed to determine the best approach.]]
+
+1. **Establish Context**
+
+   - Understand the problem space or opportunity area
+   - Identify any constraints or parameters
+   - Determine session goals (divergent exploration vs. focused ideation)
+
+2. **Select Technique Approach**
+   - Option A: User selects specific techniques
+   - Option B: Analyst recommends techniques based on context
+   - Option C: Random technique selection for creative variety
+   - Option D: Progressive technique flow (start broad, narrow down)
+
+### 2. Core Brainstorming Techniques
+
+#### Creative Expansion Techniques
+
+1. **"What If" Scenarios**
+   [[LLM: Generate provocative what-if questions that challenge assumptions and expand thinking beyond current limitations.]]
+
+   - What if we had unlimited resources?
+   - What if this problem didn't exist?
+   - What if we approached this from a child's perspective?
+   - What if we had to solve this in 24 hours?
+
+2. **Analogical Thinking**
+   [[LLM: Help user draw parallels between their challenge and other domains, industries, or natural systems.]]
+
+   - "How might this work like [X] but for [Y]?"
+   - Nature-inspired solutions (biomimicry)
+   - Cross-industry pattern matching
+   - Historical precedent analysis
+
+3. **Reversal/Inversion**
+   [[LLM: Flip the problem or approach it from the opposite angle to reveal new insights.]]
+
+   - What if we did the exact opposite?
+   - How could we make this problem worse? (then reverse)
+   - Start from the end goal and work backward
+   - Reverse roles or perspectives
+
+4. **First Principles Thinking**
+   [[LLM: Break down to fundamental truths and rebuild from scratch.]]
+   - What are the absolute fundamentals here?
+   - What assumptions can we challenge?
+   - If we started from zero, what would we build?
+   - What laws of physics/economics/human nature apply?
+
+#### Structured Ideation Frameworks
+
+1. **SCAMPER Method**
+   [[LLM: Guide through each SCAMPER prompt systematically.]]
+
+   - **S** = Substitute: What can be substituted?
+   - **C** = Combine: What can be combined or integrated?
+   - **A** = Adapt: What can be adapted from elsewhere?
+   - **M** = Modify/Magnify: What can be emphasized or reduced?
+   - **P** = Put to other uses: What else could this be used for?
+   - **E** = Eliminate: What can be removed or simplified?
+   - **R**= Reverse/Rearrange: What can be reversed or reordered?
+
+2. **Six Thinking Hats**
+   [[LLM: Cycle through different thinking modes, spending focused time in each.]]
+
+   - White Hat: Facts and information
+   - Red Hat: Emotions and intuition
+   - Black Hat: Caution and critical thinking
+   - Yellow Hat: Optimism and benefits
+   - Green Hat: Creativity and alternatives
+   - Blue Hat: Process and control
+
+3. **Mind Mapping**
+   [[LLM: Create text-based mind maps with clear hierarchical structure.]]
+
+   ```plaintext
+   Central Concept
+   ├── Branch 1
+   │   ├── Sub-idea 1.1
+   │   └── Sub-idea 1.2
+   ├── Branch 2
+   │   ├── Sub-idea 2.1
+   │   └── Sub-idea 2.2
+   └── Branch 3
+       └── Sub-idea 3.1
+   ```
+
+#### Collaborative Techniques
+
+1. **"Yes, And..." Building**
+   [[LLM: Accept every idea and build upon it without judgment. Encourage wild ideas and defer criticism.]]
+
+   - Accept the premise of each idea
+   - Add to it with "Yes, and..."
+   - Build chains of connected ideas
+   - Explore tangents freely
+
+2. **Brainwriting/Round Robin**
+   [[LLM: Simulate multiple perspectives by generating ideas from different viewpoints.]]
+
+   - Generate ideas from stakeholder perspectives
+   - Build on previous ideas in rounds
+   - Combine unrelated ideas
+   - Cross-pollinate concepts
+
+3. **Random Stimulation**
+   [[LLM: Use random words, images, or concepts as creative triggers.]]
+   - Random word association
+   - Picture/metaphor inspiration
+   - Forced connections between unrelated items
+   - Constraint-based creativity
+
+#### Deep Exploration Techniques
+
+1. **Five Whys**
+   [[LLM: Dig deeper into root causes and underlying motivations.]]
+
+   - Why does this problem exist? → Answer → Why? (repeat 5 times)
+   - Uncover hidden assumptions
+   - Find root causes, not symptoms
+   - Identify intervention points
+
+2. **Morphological Analysis**
+   [[LLM: Break down into parameters and systematically explore combinations.]]
+
+   - List key parameters/dimensions
+   - Identify possible values for each
+   - Create combination matrix
+   - Explore unusual combinations
+
+3. **Provocation Technique (PO)**
+   [[LLM: Make deliberately provocative statements to jar thinking.]]
+   - PO: Cars have square wheels
+   - PO: Customers pay us to take products
+   - PO: The problem solves itself
+   - Extract useful ideas from provocations

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

+# Create Next Story Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+To identify the next logical story based on project progress and epic definitions, and then to prepare a comprehensive, self-contained, and actionable story file using the `Story Template`. This task ensures the story is enriched with all necessary technical context, requirements, and acceptance criteria, making it ready for efficient implementation by a Developer Agent with minimal need for additional research.
+
+## Task Execution Instructions
+
+### 0. Load Core Configuration
+
+[[LLM: CRITICAL - This MUST be your first step]]
+
+- Load `.bmad-core/core-config.yml` from the project root
+- If the file does not exist:
+  - HALT and inform the user: "core-config.yml not found. This file is required for story creation. You can:
+    1. Copy it from GITHUB BMAD-METHOD/bmad-core/core-config.yml and configure it for your project
+    2. Run the BMAD installer against your project to upgrade and add the file automatically
+    Please add and configure core-config.yml before proceeding."
+- Extract the following key configurations:
+  - `devStoryLocation`: Where to save story files
+  - `prd.prdSharded`: Whether PRD is sharded or monolithic
+  - `prd.prdFile`: Location of monolithic PRD (if not sharded)
+  - `prd.prdShardedLocation`: Location of sharded epic files
+  - `prd.epicFilePattern`: Pattern for epic files (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`)
+  - `architecture.architectureVersion`: Architecture document version
+  - `architecture.architectureSharded`: Whether architecture is sharded
+  - `architecture.architectureFile`: Location of monolithic architecture
+  - `architecture.architectureShardedLocation`: Location of sharded architecture files
+
+### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation
+
+#### 1.1 Locate Epic Files
+
+- Based on `prdSharded` from config:
+  - **If `prdSharded: true`**: Look for epic files in `prdShardedLocation` using `epicFilePattern`
+  - **If `prdSharded: false`**: Load the full PRD from `prdFile` and extract epics from section headings (## Epic N or ### Epic N)
+
+#### 1.2 Review Existing Stories
+
+- Check `devStoryLocation` from config (e.g., `docs/stories/`) for existing story files
+- If the directory exists and has at least 1 file, find the highest-numbered story file.
+- **If a highest story file exists (`{lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md`):**
+  - Verify its `Status` is 'Done' (or equivalent).
+  - If not 'Done', present an alert to the user:
+
+    ```plaintext
+    ALERT: Found incomplete story:
+    File: {lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md
+    Status: [current status]
+
+    Would you like to:
+    1. View the incomplete story details (instructs user to do so, agent does not display)
+    2. Cancel new story creation at this time
+    3. Accept risk & Override to create the next story in draft
+
+    Please choose an option (1/2/3):
+    ```
+
+  - Proceed only if user selects option 3 (Override) or if the last story was 'Done'.
+  - If proceeding: Look for the Epic File for `{lastEpicNum}` (e.g., `epic-{lastEpicNum}*.md`) and parse it to find ALL stories in that epic. **ALWAYS select the next sequential story** (e.g., if last was 2.2, next MUST be 2.3).
+  - If the next sequential story has unmet prerequisites, present this to the user:
+
+    ```plaintext
+    ALERT: Next story has unmet prerequisites:
+    Story: {epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}
+    Prerequisites not met: [list specific prerequisites]
+    
+    Would you like to:
+    1. Create the story anyway (mark prerequisites as pending)
+    2. Skip to a different story (requires your specific instruction)
+    3. Cancel story creation
+    
+    Please choose an option (1/2/3):
+    ```
+
+  - If there are no more stories in the current epic (e.g., 2.9 was done and there is no 2.10):
+
+    ```plaintext
+    Epic {epicNum} Complete: All stories in Epic {epicNum} have been completed.
+    
+    Would you like to:
+    1. Begin Epic {epicNum + 1} with story {epicNum + 1}.1
+    2. Select a specific story to work on
+    3. Cancel story creation
+    
+    Please choose an option (1/2/3):
+    ```
+
+  - **CRITICAL**: NEVER automatically skip to another epic or non-sequential story. The user MUST explicitly instruct which story to create if skipping the sequential order.
+
+- **If no story files exist in `docs/stories/`:**
+  - The next story is ALWAYS 1.1 (the first story of the first epic).
+  - If story 1.1 has unmet prerequisites, follow the same alert process as above.
+- Announce the identified story to the user: "Identified next story for preparation: {epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}".
+
+### 2. Gather Core Story Requirements (from Epic)
+
+- For the identified story, review its parent Epic (e.g., `epic-{epicNum}*.md` from the location identified in step 1.1).
+- Extract: Exact Title, full Goal/User Story statement, initial list of Requirements, all Acceptance Criteria (ACs), and any predefined high-level Tasks.
+- Keep a record of this original epic-defined scope for later deviation analysis.
+
+### 3. Review Previous Story and Extract Dev Notes
+
+[[LLM: This step is CRITICAL for continuity and learning from implementation experience]]
+
+- If this is not the first story (i.e., previous story exists):
+  - Read the previous sequential story from `docs/stories`
+  - Pay special attention to:
+    - Dev Agent Record sections (especially Completion Notes and Debug Log References)
+    - Any deviations from planned implementation
+    - Technical decisions made during implementation
+    - Challenges encountered and solutions applied
+    - Any "lessons learned" or notes for future stories
+  - Extract relevant insights that might inform the current story's preparation
+
+### 4. Gather & Synthesize Architecture Context
+
+[[LLM: CRITICAL - You MUST gather technical details from the architecture documents. NEVER make up technical details not found in these documents.]]
+
+#### 4.1 Determine Architecture Document Strategy
+
+Based on configuration loaded in Step 0:
+
+- **If `architectureVersion: v4` and `architectureSharded: true`**:
+  - Read `{architectureShardedLocation}/index.md` to understand available documentation
+  - Follow the structured reading order in section 4.2 below
+  
+- **If `architectureVersion: v4` and `architectureSharded: false`**:
+  - Load the monolithic architecture from `architectureFile`
+  - Extract relevant sections based on v4 structure (tech stack, project structure, etc.)
+  
+- **If `architectureVersion` is NOT v4**:
+  - Inform user: "Architecture document is not v4 format. Will use best judgment to find relevant information."
+  - If `architectureSharded: true`: Search sharded files by filename relevance
+  - If `architectureSharded: false`: Search within monolithic `architectureFile` for relevant sections
+
+#### 4.2 Recommended Reading Order Based on Story Type (v4 Sharded Only)
+
+[[LLM: Use this structured approach ONLY for v4 sharded architecture. For other versions, use best judgment based on file names and content.]]
+
+**For ALL Stories:**
+
+1. `docs/architecture/tech-stack.md` - Understand technology constraints and versions
+2. `docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md` - Know where code should be placed
+3. `docs/architecture/coding-standards.md` - Ensure dev follows project conventions
+4. `docs/architecture/testing-strategy.md` - Include testing requirements in tasks
+
+**For Backend/API Stories, additionally read:**
+5. `docs/architecture/data-models.md` - Data structures and validation rules
+6. `docs/architecture/database-schema.md` - Database design and relationships
+7. `docs/architecture/backend-architecture.md` - Service patterns and structure
+8. `docs/architecture/rest-api-spec.md` - API endpoint specifications
+9. `docs/architecture/external-apis.md` - Third-party integrations (if relevant)
+
+**For Frontend/UI Stories, additionally read:**
+5. `docs/architecture/frontend-architecture.md` - Component structure and patterns
+6. `docs/architecture/components.md` - Specific component designs
+7. `docs/architecture/core-workflows.md` - User interaction flows
+8. `docs/architecture/data-models.md` - Frontend data handling
+
+**For Full-Stack Stories:**
+
+- Read both Backend and Frontend sections above
+
+#### 4.3 Extract Story-Specific Technical Details
+
+[[LLM: As you read each document, extract ONLY the information directly relevant to implementing the current story. Do NOT include general information unless it directly impacts the story implementation.]]
+
+For each relevant document, extract:
+
+- Specific data models, schemas, or structures the story will use
+- API endpoints the story must implement or consume
+- Component specifications for UI elements in the story
+- File paths and naming conventions for new code
+- Testing requirements specific to the story's features
+- Security or performance considerations affecting the story
+
+#### 4.4 Document Source References
+
+[[LLM: ALWAYS cite the source document and section for each technical detail you include. This helps the dev agent verify information if needed.]]
+
+Format references as: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]`
+
+### 5. Verify Project Structure Alignment
+
+- Cross-reference the story's requirements and anticipated file manipulations with the Project Structure Guide from `docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md`.
+- Ensure any file paths, component locations, or module names implied by the story align with defined structures.
+- Document any structural conflicts, necessary clarifications, or undefined components/paths in a "Project Structure Notes" section within the story draft.
+
+### 6. Populate Story Template with Full Context
+
+- Create a new story file: `{devStoryLocation}/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` (using location from config).
+- Use the Story Template to structure the file.
+- Fill in:
+  - Story `{EpicNum}.{StoryNum}: {Short Title Copied from Epic File}`
+  - `Status: Draft`
+  - `Story` (User Story statement from Epic)
+  - `Acceptance Criteria (ACs)` (from Epic, to be refined if needed based on context)
+- **`Dev Technical Guidance` section (CRITICAL):**
+
+  [[LLM: This section MUST contain ONLY information extracted from the architecture shards. NEVER invent or assume technical details.]]
+
+  - Include ALL relevant technical details gathered from Steps 3 and 4, organized by category:
+    - **Previous Story Insights**: Key learnings or considerations from the previous story
+    - **Data Models**: Specific schemas, validation rules, relationships [with source references]
+    - **API Specifications**: Endpoint details, request/response formats, auth requirements [with source references]
+    - **Component Specifications**: UI component details, props, state management [with source references]
+    - **File Locations**: Exact paths where new code should be created based on project structure
+    - **Testing Requirements**: Specific test cases or strategies from testing-strategy.md
+    - **Technical Constraints**: Version requirements, performance considerations, security rules
+  - Every technical detail MUST include its source reference: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]`
+  - If information for a category is not found in the architecture docs, explicitly state: "No specific guidance found in architecture docs"
+
+- **`Tasks / Subtasks` section:**
+  - Generate a detailed, sequential list of technical tasks based ONLY on:
+    - Requirements from the Epic
+    - Technical constraints from architecture shards
+    - Project structure from unified-project-structure.md
+    - Testing requirements from testing-strategy.md
+  - Each task must reference relevant architecture documentation
+  - Include unit testing as explicit subtasks based on testing-strategy.md
+  - Link tasks to ACs where applicable (e.g., `Task 1 (AC: 1, 3)`)
+- Add notes on project structure alignment or discrepancies found in Step 5.
+- Prepare content for the "Deviation Analysis" based on any conflicts between epic requirements and architecture constraints.
+
+### 7. Run Story Draft Checklist
+
+- Execute the Story Draft Checklist against the prepared story
+- Document any issues or gaps identified
+- Make necessary adjustments to meet quality standards
+- Ensure all technical guidance is properly sourced from architecture docs
+
+### 8. Finalize Story File
+
+- Review all sections for completeness and accuracy
+- Verify all source references are included for technical details
+- Ensure tasks align with both epic requirements and architecture constraints
+- Update status to "Draft"
+- Save the story file to `{devStoryLocation}/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` (using location from config)
+
+### 9. Report Completion
+
+Provide a summary to the user including:
+
+- Story created: `{epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}`
+- Status: Draft
+- Key technical components included from architecture docs
+- Any deviations or conflicts noted between epic and architecture
+- Recommendations for story review before approval
+- Next steps: Story should be reviewed by PO for approval before dev work begins
+
+[[LLM: Remember - The success of this task depends on extracting real, specific technical details from the architecture shards. The dev agent should have everything they need in the story file without having to search through multiple documents.]]

+# Document Migration Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+Simple document migration that cleans up heading formats and adds epic structure for PRDs.
+
+## Task Requirements
+
+1. **Input**: User specifies the document to migrate (e.g., `docs/prd.md`)
+2. **Detection**: Automatically determine if it's a PRD or other document type
+3. **Migration**: Apply appropriate transformations
+4. **Backup**: Create backup with `.bak` extension
+
+## Migration Rules
+
+### For PRDs
+
+- Find all level 3 headings that appear to be epics
+- Add a level 2 heading "## Epic #" (incrementing number) before each epic
+- Also apply the heading cleanup rules below
+
+### For All Documents
+
+- Find all level 2 headings (`## ...`)
+- Remove leading numbers and symbols
+- Keep only alphabetic characters and spaces
+- **CRITICAL**: Do not lose any information - preserve all content under appropriate headings
+- Examples:
+  - `## 1. Foo & Bar` → `## Foo Bar`
+  - `## 2.1 Technical Overview` → `## Technical Overview`
+  - `## 3) User Experience` → `## User Experience`
+
+### For Architecture Documents
+
+- **PRIMARY GOAL**: Align level 2 headings to match template level 2 titles exactly
+- **PRESERVE EVERYTHING**: Do not lose any information during migration
+- Map existing content to the closest matching template section
+- If content doesn't fit template sections, create appropriate level 3 subsections
+
+## Detection Logic
+
+A document is considered a PRD if:
+
+- Filename contains "prd" (case insensitive)
+- OR main title contains "Product Requirements" or "PRD"
+- OR contains sections like "User Stories", "Functional Requirements", "Acceptance Criteria"
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Backup Original**: Copy `filename.md` to `filename.md.bak`
+2. **Detect Type**: Check if document is a PRD
+3. **Process Headings**:
+   - Clean all level 2 headings
+   - If PRD: Add epic structure before level 3 headings that look like epics
+4. **Write Result**: Overwrite original file with migrated content
+
+## Epic Detection for PRDs
+
+Level 3 headings are treated as epics if they:
+
+- Describe features or functionality
+- Are substantial sections (not just "Overview" or "Notes")
+- Common epic patterns: "User Management", "Payment Processing", "Reporting Dashboard"
+
+The epic numbering starts at 1 and increments for each epic found.
+
+## Example
+
+### Before (PRD):

+```markdown
+# Product Requirements Document
+
+## 1. Executive Summary
+
+Content here...

+
+### User Management System
+
+Epic content...
