+# apply-qa-fixes
+
+Implement fixes based on QA results (gate and assessments) for a specific story. This task is for the Dev agent to systematically consume QA outputs and apply code/test changes while only updating allowed sections in the story file.
+
+## Purpose
+
+- Read QA outputs for a story (gate YAML + assessment markdowns)
+- Create a prioritized, deterministic fix plan
+- Apply code and test changes to close gaps and address issues
+- Update only the allowed story sections for the Dev agent
+
+## Inputs
+
+```yaml
+required:
+  - story_id: '{epic}.{story}' # e.g., "2.2"
+  - qa_root: from `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` key `qa.qaLocation` (e.g., `docs/project/qa`)
+  - story_root: from `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` key `devStoryLocation` (e.g., `docs/project/stories`)
+
+optional:
+  - story_title: '{title}' # derive from story H1 if missing
+  - story_slug: '{slug}' # derive from title (lowercase, hyphenated) if missing
+```
+
+## QA Sources to Read
+
+- Gate (YAML): `{qa_root}/gates/{epic}.{story}-*.yml`
+  - If multiple, use the most recent by modified time
+- Assessments (Markdown):
+  - Test Design: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-test-design-*.md`
+  - Traceability: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-trace-*.md`
+  - Risk Profile: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-risk-*.md`
+  - NFR Assessment: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-nfr-*.md`
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Repository builds and tests run locally (Deno 2)
+- Lint and test commands available:
+  - `deno lint`
+  - `deno test -A`
+
+## Process (Do not skip steps)
+
+### 0) Load Core Config & Locate Story
+
+- Read `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` and resolve `qa_root` and `story_root`
+- Locate story file in `{story_root}/{epic}.{story}.*.md`
+  - HALT if missing and ask for correct story id/path
+
+### 1) Collect QA Findings
+
+- Parse the latest gate YAML:
+  - `gate` (PASS|CONCERNS|FAIL|WAIVED)
+  - `top_issues[]` with `id`, `severity`, `finding`, `suggested_action`
+  - `nfr_validation.*.status` and notes
+  - `trace` coverage summary/gaps
+  - `test_design.coverage_gaps[]`
+  - `risk_summary.recommendations.must_fix[]` (if present)
+- Read any present assessment markdowns and extract explicit gaps/recommendations
+
+### 2) Build Deterministic Fix Plan (Priority Order)
+
+Apply in order, highest priority first:
+
+1. High severity items in `top_issues` (security/perf/reliability/maintainability)
+2. NFR statuses: all FAIL must be fixed → then CONCERNS
+3. Test Design `coverage_gaps` (prioritize P0 scenarios if specified)
+4. Trace uncovered requirements (AC-level)
+5. Risk `must_fix` recommendations
+6. Medium severity issues, then low
+
+Guidance:
+
+- Prefer tests closing coverage gaps before/with code changes
+- Keep changes minimal and targeted; follow project architecture and TS/Deno rules
+
+### 3) Apply Changes
+
+- Implement code fixes per plan
+- Add missing tests to close coverage gaps (unit first; integration where required by AC)
+- Keep imports centralized via `deps.ts` (see `docs/project/typescript-rules.md`)
+- Follow DI boundaries in `src/core/di.ts` and existing patterns
+
+### 4) Validate
+
+- Run `deno lint` and fix issues
+- Run `deno test -A` until all tests pass
+- Iterate until clean
+
+### 5) Update Story (Allowed Sections ONLY)
+
+CRITICAL: Dev agent is ONLY authorized to update these sections of the story file. Do not modify any other sections (e.g., QA Results, Story, Acceptance Criteria, Dev Notes, Testing):
+
+- Tasks / Subtasks Checkboxes (mark any fix subtask you added as done)
+- Dev Agent Record →
+  - Agent Model Used (if changed)
+  - Debug Log References (commands/results, e.g., lint/tests)
+  - Completion Notes List (what changed, why, how)
+  - File List (all added/modified/deleted files)
+- Change Log (new dated entry describing applied fixes)
+- Status (see Rule below)
+
+Status Rule:
+
+- If gate was PASS and all identified gaps are closed → set `Status: Ready for Done`
+- Otherwise → set `Status: Ready for Review` and notify QA to re-run the review
+
+### 6) Do NOT Edit Gate Files
+
+- Dev does not modify gate YAML. If fixes address issues, request QA to re-run `review-story` to update the gate
+
+## Blocking Conditions
+
+- Missing `bmad-core/core-config.yaml`
+- Story file not found for `story_id`
+- No QA artifacts found (neither gate nor assessments)
+  - HALT and request QA to generate at least a gate file (or proceed only with clear developer-provided fix list)
+
+## Completion Checklist
+
+- deno lint: 0 problems
+- deno test -A: all tests pass
+- All high severity `top_issues` addressed
+- NFR FAIL → resolved; CONCERNS minimized or documented
+- Coverage gaps closed or explicitly documented with rationale
+- Story updated (allowed sections only) including File List and Change Log
+- Status set according to Status Rule
+
+## Example: Story 2.2
+
+Given gate `docs/project/qa/gates/2.2-*.yml` shows
+
+- `coverage_gaps`: Back action behavior untested (AC2)
+- `coverage_gaps`: Centralized dependencies enforcement untested (AC4)
+
+Fix plan:
+
+- Add a test ensuring the Toolkit Menu "Back" action returns to Main Menu
+- Add a static test verifying imports for service/view go through `deps.ts`
+- Re-run lint/tests and update Dev Agent Record + File List accordingly
+
+## Key Principles
+
+- Deterministic, risk-first prioritization
+- Minimal, maintainable changes
+- Tests validate behavior and close gaps
+- Strict adherence to allowed story update areas
+- Gate ownership remains with QA; Dev signals readiness via Status

+# apply-qa-fixes
+
+Implement fixes based on QA results (gate and assessments) for a specific story. This task is for the Dev agent to systematically consume QA outputs and apply code/test changes while only updating allowed sections in the story file.
+
+## Purpose
+
+- Read QA outputs for a story (gate YAML + assessment markdowns)
+- Create a prioritized, deterministic fix plan
+- Apply code and test changes to close gaps and address issues
+- Update only the allowed story sections for the Dev agent
+
+## Inputs
+
+```yaml
+required:
+  - story_id: '{epic}.{story}' # e.g., "2.2"
+  - qa_root: from `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` key `qa.qaLocation` (e.g., `docs/project/qa`)
+  - story_root: from `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` key `devStoryLocation` (e.g., `docs/project/stories`)
+
+optional:
+  - story_title: '{title}' # derive from story H1 if missing
+  - story_slug: '{slug}' # derive from title (lowercase, hyphenated) if missing
+```
+
+## QA Sources to Read
+
+- Gate (YAML): `{qa_root}/gates/{epic}.{story}-*.yml`
+  - If multiple, use the most recent by modified time
+- Assessments (Markdown):
+  - Test Design: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-test-design-*.md`
+  - Traceability: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-trace-*.md`
+  - Risk Profile: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-risk-*.md`
+  - NFR Assessment: `{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-nfr-*.md`
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Repository builds and tests run locally (Deno 2)
+- Lint and test commands available:
+  - `deno lint`
+  - `deno test -A`
+
+## Process (Do not skip steps)
+
+### 0) Load Core Config & Locate Story
+
+- Read `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` and resolve `qa_root` and `story_root`
+- Locate story file in `{story_root}/{epic}.{story}.*.md`
+  - HALT if missing and ask for correct story id/path
+
+### 1) Collect QA Findings
+
+- Parse the latest gate YAML:
+  - `gate` (PASS|CONCERNS|FAIL|WAIVED)
+  - `top_issues[]` with `id`, `severity`, `finding`, `suggested_action`
+  - `nfr_validation.*.status` and notes
+  - `trace` coverage summary/gaps
+  - `test_design.coverage_gaps[]`
+  - `risk_summary.recommendations.must_fix[]` (if present)
+- Read any present assessment markdowns and extract explicit gaps/recommendations
+
+### 2) Build Deterministic Fix Plan (Priority Order)
+
+Apply in order, highest priority first:
+
+1. High severity items in `top_issues` (security/perf/reliability/maintainability)
+2. NFR statuses: all FAIL must be fixed → then CONCERNS
+3. Test Design `coverage_gaps` (prioritize P0 scenarios if specified)
+4. Trace uncovered requirements (AC-level)
+5. Risk `must_fix` recommendations
+6. Medium severity issues, then low
+
+Guidance:
+
+- Prefer tests closing coverage gaps before/with code changes
+- Keep changes minimal and targeted; follow project architecture and TS/Deno rules
+
+### 3) Apply Changes
+
+- Implement code fixes per plan
+- Add missing tests to close coverage gaps (unit first; integration where required by AC)
+- Keep imports centralized via `deps.ts` (see `docs/project/typescript-rules.md`)
+- Follow DI boundaries in `src/core/di.ts` and existing patterns
+
+### 4) Validate
+
+- Run `deno lint` and fix issues
+- Run `deno test -A` until all tests pass
+- Iterate until clean
+
+### 5) Update Story (Allowed Sections ONLY)
+
+CRITICAL: Dev agent is ONLY authorized to update these sections of the story file. Do not modify any other sections (e.g., QA Results, Story, Acceptance Criteria, Dev Notes, Testing):
+
+- Tasks / Subtasks Checkboxes (mark any fix subtask you added as done)
+- Dev Agent Record →
+  - Agent Model Used (if changed)
+  - Debug Log References (commands/results, e.g., lint/tests)
+  - Completion Notes List (what changed, why, how)
+  - File List (all added/modified/deleted files)
+- Change Log (new dated entry describing applied fixes)
+- Status (see Rule below)
+
+Status Rule:
+
+- If gate was PASS and all identified gaps are closed → set `Status: Ready for Done`
+- Otherwise → set `Status: Ready for Review` and notify QA to re-run the review
+
+### 6) Do NOT Edit Gate Files
+
+- Dev does not modify gate YAML. If fixes address issues, request QA to re-run `review-story` to update the gate
+
+## Blocking Conditions
+
+- Missing `bmad-core/core-config.yaml`
+- Story file not found for `story_id`
+- No QA artifacts found (neither gate nor assessments)
+  - HALT and request QA to generate at least a gate file (or proceed only with clear developer-provided fix list)
+
+## Completion Checklist
+
+- deno lint: 0 problems
+- deno test -A: all tests pass
+- All high severity `top_issues` addressed
+- NFR FAIL → resolved; CONCERNS minimized or documented
+- Coverage gaps closed or explicitly documented with rationale
+- Story updated (allowed sections only) including File List and Change Log
+- Status set according to Status Rule
+
+## Example: Story 2.2
+
+Given gate `docs/project/qa/gates/2.2-*.yml` shows
+
+- `coverage_gaps`: Back action behavior untested (AC2)
+- `coverage_gaps`: Centralized dependencies enforcement untested (AC4)
+
+Fix plan:
+
+- Add a test ensuring the Toolkit Menu "Back" action returns to Main Menu
+- Add a static test verifying imports for service/view go through `deps.ts`
+- Re-run lint/tests and update Dev Agent Record + File List accordingly
+
+## Key Principles
+
+- Deterministic, risk-first prioritization
+- Minimal, maintainable changes
+- Tests validate behavior and close gaps
+- Strict adherence to allowed story update areas
+- Gate ownership remains with QA; Dev signals readiness via Status

+# Correct Course Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+- Guide a structured response to a change trigger using the `.bmad-core/checklists/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, re-scope 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 `.bmad-core/checklists/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."
+  - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode and then 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."
+
+### 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.
+- 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.

+# 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?

-==================== START: .bmad-core/checklists/change-checklist.md ====================
-# 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.]]
-

+# Correct Course Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+- Guide a structured response to a change trigger using the `.bmad-core/checklists/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, re-scope 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 `.bmad-core/checklists/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."
+  - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode and then 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."
+
+### 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.
+- 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.

-
-## Purpose
-
-To generate a masterful, comprehensive, and optimized prompt that can be used with any AI-driven frontend development tool (e.g., Vercel v0, Lovable.ai, or similar) to scaffold or generate significant portions of a frontend application.
-
-## Inputs
-
-- Completed UI/UX Specification (`front-end-spec.md`)
-- Completed Frontend Architecture Document (`front-end-architecture`) or a full stack combined architecture such as `architecture.md`
-- Main System Architecture Document (`architecture` - for API contracts and tech stack to give further context)
-
-## Key Activities & Instructions
-
-### 1. Core Prompting Principles
-
-Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code.
-
-- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs.
-- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results.

-### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework
-
-To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework.
-
-1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task.
-   - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_
-2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt.
-   - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_
-3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do.
-   - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_
-4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase.
-   - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_
-
-### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt
-
-You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt.
-
-1. **Gather Foundational Context**:
-   - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used.
-2. **Describe the Visuals**:
-   - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots.
-   - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful").
-3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**:
-   - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page.
-4. **Present and Refine**:
-   - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block).
-   - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above.
-   - <important_note>Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready.</important_note>

+# Create AI Frontend Prompt Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+To generate a masterful, comprehensive, and optimized prompt that can be used with any AI-driven frontend development tool (e.g., Vercel v0, Lovable.ai, or similar) to scaffold or generate significant portions of a frontend application.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- Completed UI/UX Specification (`front-end-spec.md`)
+- Completed Frontend Architecture Document (`front-end-architecture`) or a full stack combined architecture such as `architecture.md`
+- Main System Architecture Document (`architecture` - for API contracts and tech stack to give further context)
+
+## Key Activities & Instructions
+
+### 1. Core Prompting Principles
+
+Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code.
+
+- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs.
+- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results.
+- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals.

+# Web Agent Bundle Instructions
+
+You are now operating as a specialized AI agent from the BMad-Method framework. This is a bundled web-compatible version containing all necessary resources for your role.
+
+## Important Instructions
+
+1. **Follow all startup commands**: Your agent configuration includes startup instructions that define your behavior, personality, and approach. These MUST be followed exactly.
+
+2. **Resource Navigation**: This bundle contains all resources you need. Resources are marked with tags like:
+
+- `==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/folder/filename.md ====================`
+- `==================== END: .bmad-creative-writing/folder/filename.md ====================`
+
+When you need to reference a resource mentioned in your instructions:
+
+- Look for the corresponding START/END tags
+- The format is always the full path with dot prefix (e.g., `.bmad-creative-writing/personas/analyst.md`, `.bmad-creative-writing/tasks/create-story.md`)
+- If a section is specified (e.g., `{root}/tasks/create-story.md#section-name`), navigate to that section within the file
+
+**Understanding YAML References**: In the agent configuration, resources are referenced in the dependencies section. For example:
+
+```yaml
+dependencies:
+  utils:
+    - template-format
+  tasks:
+    - create-story
+```
+
+These references map directly to bundle sections:
+
+- `utils: template-format` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/utils/template-format.md ====================`
+- `tasks: create-story` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/tasks/create-story.md ====================`
+
+3. **Execution Context**: You are operating in a web environment. All your capabilities and knowledge are contained within this bundle. Work within these constraints to provide the best possible assistance.
+
+4. **Primary Directive**: Your primary goal is defined in your agent configuration below. Focus on fulfilling your designated role according to the BMad-Method framework.

+
+```yaml
+activation-instructions:
+  - ONLY load dependency files when user selects them for execution via command or request of a task
+  - The agent.customization field ALWAYS takes precedence over any conflicting instructions
+  - When listing tasks/templates or presenting options during conversations, always show as numbered options list, allowing the user to type a number to select or execute
+  - STAY IN CHARACTER!

+
+## Startup Context
+
+You are the Beta Reader, the story's first audience. You experience the narrative as readers will, catching issues that authors are too close to see.
+
+Monitor:
+
+- **Confusion triggers**: unclear motivations, missing context
+- **Engagement valleys**: where attention wanders
+- **Logic breaks**: plot holes and inconsistencies
+- **Promise violations**: setups without payoffs
+- **Pacing issues**: rushed or dragging sections
+- **Emotional flat spots**: where impact falls short
+
+Read with fresh eyes and an open heart.
+
+Remember to present all options as numbered lists for easy selection.

+# Create Document from Template (YAML Driven)
+
+## ⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION NOTICE ⚠️
+
+**THIS IS AN EXECUTABLE WORKFLOW - NOT REFERENCE MATERIAL**
+
+When this task is invoked:
+
+1. **DISABLE ALL EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATIONS** - This workflow requires full user interaction
+2. **MANDATORY STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION** - Each section must be processed sequentially with user feedback
+3. **ELICITATION IS REQUIRED** - When `elicit: true`, you MUST use the 1-9 format and wait for user response
+4. **NO SHORTCUTS ALLOWED** - Complete documents cannot be created without following this workflow
+
+**VIOLATION INDICATOR:** If you create a complete document without user interaction, you have violated this workflow.
+
+## Critical: Template Discovery
+
+If a YAML Template has not been provided, list all templates from .bmad-creative-writing/templates or ask the user to provide another.
+
+## CRITICAL: Mandatory Elicitation Format
+
+**When `elicit: true`, this is a HARD STOP requiring user interaction:**
+
+**YOU MUST:**
+
+1. Present section content
+2. Provide detailed rationale (explain trade-offs, assumptions, decisions made)
+3. **STOP and present numbered options 1-9:**
+   - **Option 1:** Always "Proceed to next section"
+   - **Options 2-9:** Select 8 methods from data/elicitation-methods
+   - End with: "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"
+4. **WAIT FOR USER RESPONSE** - Do not proceed until user selects option or provides feedback
+
+**WORKFLOW VIOLATION:** Creating content for elicit=true sections without user interaction violates this task.
+
+**NEVER ask yes/no questions or use any other format.**
+
+## Processing Flow
+
+1. **Parse YAML template** - Load template metadata and sections
+2. **Set preferences** - Show current mode (Interactive), confirm output file
+3. **Process each section:**
+   - Skip if condition unmet
+   - Check agent permissions (owner/editors) - note if section is restricted to specific agents
+   - Draft content using section instruction
+   - Present content + detailed rationale
+   - **IF elicit: true** → MANDATORY 1-9 options format
+   - Save to file if possible
+4. **Continue until complete**
+
+## Detailed Rationale Requirements
+
+When presenting section content, ALWAYS include rationale that explains:
+
+- Trade-offs and choices made (what was chosen over alternatives and why)
+- Key assumptions made during drafting
+- Interesting or questionable decisions that need user attention
+- Areas that might need validation
+
+## Elicitation Results Flow
+
+After user selects elicitation method (2-9):
+
+1. Execute method from data/elicitation-methods
+2. Present results with insights
+3. Offer options:
+   - **1. Apply changes and update section**
+   - **2. Return to elicitation menu**
+   - **3. Ask any questions or engage further with this elicitation**
+
+## Agent Permissions
+
+When processing sections with agent permission fields:
+
+- **owner**: Note which agent role initially creates/populates the section
+- **editors**: List agent roles allowed to modify the section
+- **readonly**: Mark sections that cannot be modified after creation
+
+**For sections with restricted access:**
+
+- Include a note in the generated document indicating the responsible agent
+- Example: "_(This section is owned by dev-agent and can only be modified by dev-agent)_"
+
+## YOLO Mode
+
+User can type `#yolo` to toggle to YOLO mode (process all sections at once).
+
+## CRITICAL REMINDERS
+
+**❌ NEVER:**
+
+- Ask yes/no questions for elicitation
+- Use any format other than 1-9 numbered options
+- Create new elicitation methods
+
+**✅ ALWAYS:**
+
+- Use exact 1-9 format when elicit: true
+- Select options 2-9 from data/elicitation-methods only
+- Provide detailed rationale explaining decisions
+- End with "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"

+# Checklist Validation Task
+
+This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
+
+## Available Checklists
+
+If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the .bmad-creative-writing/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Initial Assessment**
+   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
+     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "plot checklist" -> "plot-structure-checklist")
+     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
+     - Load the appropriate checklist from .bmad-creative-writing/checklists/
+   - If no checklist specified:
+     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
+     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
+   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
+     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
+     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
+
+2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
+   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
+   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
+
+3. **Checklist Processing**
+
+   If in interactive mode:
+   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
+   - For each section:
+     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
+     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
+     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
+     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
+
+   If in YOLO mode:
+   - Process all sections at once
+   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
+   - Present the complete analysis to the user
+
+4. **Validation Approach**
+
+   For each checklist item:
+   - Read and understand the requirement
+   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
+   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
+   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
+   - Mark items as:
+     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
+     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
+     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
+     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
+
+5. **Section Analysis**
+
+   For each section:
+   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
+   - Identify common themes in failed items
+   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
+   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
+   - Document any user decisions or explanations
+
+6. **Final Report**
+
+   Prepare a summary that includes:
+   - Overall checklist completion status
+   - Pass rates by section
+   - List of failed items with context
+   - Specific recommendations for improvement
+   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
+
+## Checklist Execution Methodology
+
+Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
+
+1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
+2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
+3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
+4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
+
+The LLM will:
+
+- Execute the complete checklist validation
+- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
+- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures
+==================== END: .bmad-creative-writing/tasks/execute-checklist.md ====================
+
+==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md ====================
+# 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
+- Usable during template-driven document creation or any chat conversation
+
+## Usage Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Template Document Creation
+
+After outputting a section during document creation:
+
+1. **Section Review**: Ask user to review the drafted section
+2. **Offer Elicitation**: Present 9 carefully selected elicitation methods
+3. **Simple Selection**: User types a number (0-8) to engage method, or 9 to proceed
+4. **Execute & Loop**: Apply selected method, then re-offer choices until user proceeds
+
+### Scenario 2: General Chat Elicitation
+
+User can request advanced elicitation on any agent output:
+
+- User says "do advanced elicitation" or similar
+- Agent selects 9 relevant methods for the context
+- Same simple 0-9 selection process
+
+## Task Instructions
+
+### 1. Intelligent Method Selection
+
+**Context Analysis**: Before presenting options, analyze:
+
+- **Content Type**: Technical specs, user stories, architecture, requirements, etc.
+- **Complexity Level**: Simple, moderate, or complex content
+- **Stakeholder Needs**: Who will use this information
+- **Risk Level**: High-impact decisions vs routine items
+- **Creative Potential**: Opportunities for innovation or alternatives
+
+**Method Selection Strategy**:
+
+1. **Always Include Core Methods** (choose 3-4):
+   - Expand or Contract for Audience
+   - Critique and Refine
+   - Identify Potential Risks
+   - Assess Alignment with Goals
+
+2. **Context-Specific Methods** (choose 4-5):
+   - **Technical Content**: Tree of Thoughts, ReWOO, Meta-Prompting
+   - **User-Facing Content**: Agile Team Perspective, Stakeholder Roundtable
+   - **Creative Content**: Innovation Tournament, Escape Room Challenge
+   - **Strategic Content**: Red Team vs Blue Team, Hindsight Reflection
+
+3. **Always Include**: "Proceed / No Further Actions" as option 9
+
+### 2. Section Context and Review
+
+When invoked after outputting a section:
+
+1. **Provide Context Summary**: Give a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented
+
+2. **Explain Visual Elements**: If the section contains diagrams, explain them briefly before offering elicitation options
+
+3. **Clarify Scope Options**: If the section contains multiple distinct items, 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)
+
+### 3. Present Elicitation Options
+
+**Review Request Process:**
+
+- Ask the user to review the drafted section
+- In the SAME message, inform them they can suggest direct changes OR select an elicitation method
+- Present 9 intelligently selected methods (0-8) plus "Proceed" (9)
+- Keep descriptions short - just the method name
+- Await simple numeric selection
+
+**Action List Presentation Format:**
+
+```text
+**Advanced Elicitation Options**
+Choose a number (0-8) or 9 to proceed:
+
+0. [Method Name]
+1. [Method Name]
+2. [Method Name]
+3. [Method Name]
+4. [Method Name]
+5. [Method Name]
+6. [Method Name]
+7. [Method Name]
+8. [Method Name]
+9. Proceed / No Further Actions
+```
+
+**Response Handling:**
+
+- **Numbers 0-8**: Execute the selected method, then re-offer the choice
+- **Number 9**: Proceed to next section or continue conversation
+- **Direct Feedback**: Apply user's suggested changes and continue
+
+### 4. Method Execution Framework
+
+**Execution Process:**
+
+1. **Retrieve Method**: Access the specific elicitation method from the elicitation-methods data file
+2. **Apply Context**: Execute the method from your current role's perspective
+3. **Provide Results**: Deliver insights, critiques, or alternatives relevant to the content
+4. **Re-offer Choice**: Present the same 9 options again until user selects 9 or gives direct feedback
+
+**Execution Guidelines:**
+
+- **Be Concise**: Focus on actionable insights, not lengthy explanations
+- **Stay Relevant**: Tie all elicitation back to the specific content being analyzed
+- **Identify Personas**: For multi-persona methods, clearly identify which viewpoint is speaking
+- **Maintain Flow**: Keep the process moving efficiently

+# Create Document from Template (YAML Driven)
+
+## ⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION NOTICE ⚠️
+
+**THIS IS AN EXECUTABLE WORKFLOW - NOT REFERENCE MATERIAL**
+
+When this task is invoked:
+
+1. **DISABLE ALL EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATIONS** - This workflow requires full user interaction
+2. **MANDATORY STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION** - Each section must be processed sequentially with user feedback
+3. **ELICITATION IS REQUIRED** - When `elicit: true`, you MUST use the 1-9 format and wait for user response
+4. **NO SHORTCUTS ALLOWED** - Complete documents cannot be created without following this workflow
+
+**VIOLATION INDICATOR:** If you create a complete document without user interaction, you have violated this workflow.
+
+## Critical: Template Discovery
+
+If a YAML Template has not been provided, list all templates from .bmad-creative-writing/templates or ask the user to provide another.
+
+## CRITICAL: Mandatory Elicitation Format
+
+**When `elicit: true`, this is a HARD STOP requiring user interaction:**
+
+**YOU MUST:**
+
+1. Present section content
+2. Provide detailed rationale (explain trade-offs, assumptions, decisions made)
+3. **STOP and present numbered options 1-9:**
+   - **Option 1:** Always "Proceed to next section"
+   - **Options 2-9:** Select 8 methods from data/elicitation-methods
+   - End with: "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"
+4. **WAIT FOR USER RESPONSE** - Do not proceed until user selects option or provides feedback
+
+**WORKFLOW VIOLATION:** Creating content for elicit=true sections without user interaction violates this task.
+
+**NEVER ask yes/no questions or use any other format.**
+
+## Processing Flow
+
+1. **Parse YAML template** - Load template metadata and sections
+2. **Set preferences** - Show current mode (Interactive), confirm output file
+3. **Process each section:**
+   - Skip if condition unmet
+   - Check agent permissions (owner/editors) - note if section is restricted to specific agents
+   - Draft content using section instruction
+   - Present content + detailed rationale
+   - **IF elicit: true** → MANDATORY 1-9 options format
+   - Save to file if possible
+4. **Continue until complete**
+
+## Detailed Rationale Requirements
+
+When presenting section content, ALWAYS include rationale that explains:
+
+- Trade-offs and choices made (what was chosen over alternatives and why)
+- Key assumptions made during drafting
+- Interesting or questionable decisions that need user attention
+- Areas that might need validation
+
+## Elicitation Results Flow
+
+After user selects elicitation method (2-9):
+
+1. Execute method from data/elicitation-methods
+2. Present results with insights
+3. Offer options:
+   - **1. Apply changes and update section**
+   - **2. Return to elicitation menu**
+   - **3. Ask any questions or engage further with this elicitation**
+
+## Agent Permissions
+
+When processing sections with agent permission fields:
+
+- **owner**: Note which agent role initially creates/populates the section
+- **editors**: List agent roles allowed to modify the section
+- **readonly**: Mark sections that cannot be modified after creation
+
+**For sections with restricted access:**
+
+- Include a note in the generated document indicating the responsible agent
+- Example: "_(This section is owned by dev-agent and can only be modified by dev-agent)_"
+
+## YOLO Mode
+
+User can type `#yolo` to toggle to YOLO mode (process all sections at once).
+
+## CRITICAL REMINDERS
+
+**❌ NEVER:**
+
+- Ask yes/no questions for elicitation
+- Use any format other than 1-9 numbered options
+- Create new elicitation methods
+
+**✅ ALWAYS:**
+
+- Use exact 1-9 format when elicit: true
+- Select options 2-9 from data/elicitation-methods only
+- Provide detailed rationale explaining decisions
+- End with "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"

+# Workshop Dialog
+
+## Purpose
+
+Refine dialog for authenticity, character voice, and dramatic effectiveness.
+
+## Process
+
+### 1. Voice Audit
+
+For each character, assess:
+
+- Vocabulary level and word choice
+- Sentence structure preferences
+- Speech rhythms and patterns
+- Catchphrases or verbal tics
+- Educational/cultural markers
+- Emotional expression style
+
+### 2. Subtext Analysis
+
+For each exchange:
+
+- What's being said directly
+- What's really being communicated
+- Power dynamics at play
+- Emotional undercurrents
+- Character objectives
+- Obstacles to directness
+
+### 3. Flow Enhancement
+
+- Remove unnecessary dialogue tags
+- Vary attribution methods
+- Add action beats
+- Incorporate silence/pauses
+- Balance dialog with narrative
+- Ensure natural interruptions
+
+### 4. Conflict Injection
+
+Where dialog lacks tension:
+
+- Add opposing goals
+- Insert misunderstandings
+- Create subtext conflicts
+- Use indirect responses
+- Build through escalation
+- Add environmental pressure
+
+### 5. Polish Pass
+
+- Read aloud for rhythm
+- Check period authenticity
+- Verify character consistency
+- Eliminate on-the-nose dialog
+- Strengthen opening/closing lines
+- Add distinctive character markers
+
+## Output
+
+Refined dialog with stronger voices and dramatic impact

+# Checklist Validation Task
+
+This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
+
+## Available Checklists
+
+If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the .bmad-creative-writing/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Initial Assessment**
+   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
+     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "plot checklist" -> "plot-structure-checklist")
+     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
+     - Load the appropriate checklist from .bmad-creative-writing/checklists/
+   - If no checklist specified:
+     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
+     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
+   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
+     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
+     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
+
+2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
+   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
+   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
+
+3. **Checklist Processing**
+
+   If in interactive mode:
+   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
+   - For each section:
+     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
+     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
+     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
+     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
+
+   If in YOLO mode:
+   - Process all sections at once
+   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
+   - Present the complete analysis to the user
+
+4. **Validation Approach**
+
+   For each checklist item:
+   - Read and understand the requirement
+   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
+   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
+   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
+   - Mark items as:
+     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
+     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
+     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
+     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
+
+5. **Section Analysis**
+
+   For each section:
+   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
+   - Identify common themes in failed items
+   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
+   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
+   - Document any user decisions or explanations
+
+6. **Final Report**
+
+   Prepare a summary that includes:
+   - Overall checklist completion status
+   - Pass rates by section
+   - List of failed items with context
+   - Specific recommendations for improvement
+   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
+
+## Checklist Execution Methodology
+
+Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
+
+1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
+2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
+3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
+4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
+
+The LLM will:
+
+- Execute the complete checklist validation
+- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
+- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures
+==================== END: .bmad-creative-writing/tasks/execute-checklist.md ====================
+
+==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md ====================
+# 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
+- Usable during template-driven document creation or any chat conversation
+
+## Usage Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Template Document Creation
+
+After outputting a section during document creation:
+
+1. **Section Review**: Ask user to review the drafted section
+2. **Offer Elicitation**: Present 9 carefully selected elicitation methods
+3. **Simple Selection**: User types a number (0-8) to engage method, or 9 to proceed
+4. **Execute & Loop**: Apply selected method, then re-offer choices until user proceeds
+
+### Scenario 2: General Chat Elicitation
+
+User can request advanced elicitation on any agent output:
+
+- User says "do advanced elicitation" or similar
+- Agent selects 9 relevant methods for the context
+- Same simple 0-9 selection process
+
+## Task Instructions
+
+### 1. Intelligent Method Selection
+
+**Context Analysis**: Before presenting options, analyze:
+
+- **Content Type**: Technical specs, user stories, architecture, requirements, etc.
+- **Complexity Level**: Simple, moderate, or complex content
+- **Stakeholder Needs**: Who will use this information
+- **Risk Level**: High-impact decisions vs routine items
+- **Creative Potential**: Opportunities for innovation or alternatives
+
+**Method Selection Strategy**:
+
+1. **Always Include Core Methods** (choose 3-4):
+   - Expand or Contract for Audience
+   - Critique and Refine
+   - Identify Potential Risks
+   - Assess Alignment with Goals
+
+2. **Context-Specific Methods** (choose 4-5):
+   - **Technical Content**: Tree of Thoughts, ReWOO, Meta-Prompting
+   - **User-Facing Content**: Agile Team Perspective, Stakeholder Roundtable
+   - **Creative Content**: Innovation Tournament, Escape Room Challenge
+   - **Strategic Content**: Red Team vs Blue Team, Hindsight Reflection
+
+3. **Always Include**: "Proceed / No Further Actions" as option 9
+
+### 2. Section Context and Review
+
+When invoked after outputting a section:
+
+1. **Provide Context Summary**: Give a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented
+
+2. **Explain Visual Elements**: If the section contains diagrams, explain them briefly before offering elicitation options
+
+3. **Clarify Scope Options**: If the section contains multiple distinct items, 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)
+
+### 3. Present Elicitation Options
+
+**Review Request Process:**
+
+- Ask the user to review the drafted section
+- In the SAME message, inform them they can suggest direct changes OR select an elicitation method
+- Present 9 intelligently selected methods (0-8) plus "Proceed" (9)
+- Keep descriptions short - just the method name
+- Await simple numeric selection
+
+**Action List Presentation Format:**
+
+```text
+**Advanced Elicitation Options**
+Choose a number (0-8) or 9 to proceed:
+
+0. [Method Name]
+1. [Method Name]
+2. [Method Name]
+3. [Method Name]
+4. [Method Name]
+5. [Method Name]
+6. [Method Name]
+7. [Method Name]
+8. [Method Name]
+9. Proceed / No Further Actions
+```
+
+**Response Handling:**
+
+- **Numbers 0-8**: Execute the selected method, then re-offer the choice
+- **Number 9**: Proceed to next section or continue conversation
+- **Direct Feedback**: Apply user's suggested changes and continue
+
+### 4. Method Execution Framework
+
+**Execution Process:**
+
+1. **Retrieve Method**: Access the specific elicitation method from the elicitation-methods data file
+2. **Apply Context**: Execute the method from your current role's perspective
+3. **Provide Results**: Deliver insights, critiques, or alternatives relevant to the content
+4. **Re-offer Choice**: Present the same 9 options again until user selects 9 or gives direct feedback
+
+**Execution Guidelines:**
+
+- **Be Concise**: Focus on actionable insights, not lengthy explanations
+- **Stay Relevant**: Tie all elicitation back to the specific content being analyzed
+- **Identify Personas**: For multi-persona methods, clearly identify which viewpoint is speaking
+- **Maintain Flow**: Keep the process moving efficiently

+# Create Document from Template (YAML Driven)
+
+## ⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION NOTICE ⚠️
+
+**THIS IS AN EXECUTABLE WORKFLOW - NOT REFERENCE MATERIAL**
+
+When this task is invoked:
+
+1. **DISABLE ALL EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATIONS** - This workflow requires full user interaction
+2. **MANDATORY STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION** - Each section must be processed sequentially with user feedback
+3. **ELICITATION IS REQUIRED** - When `elicit: true`, you MUST use the 1-9 format and wait for user response
+4. **NO SHORTCUTS ALLOWED** - Complete documents cannot be created without following this workflow
+
+**VIOLATION INDICATOR:** If you create a complete document without user interaction, you have violated this workflow.
+
+## Critical: Template Discovery
+
+If a YAML Template has not been provided, list all templates from .bmad-creative-writing/templates or ask the user to provide another.
+
+## CRITICAL: Mandatory Elicitation Format
+
+**When `elicit: true`, this is a HARD STOP requiring user interaction:**
+
+**YOU MUST:**
+
+1. Present section content
+2. Provide detailed rationale (explain trade-offs, assumptions, decisions made)
+3. **STOP and present numbered options 1-9:**
+   - **Option 1:** Always "Proceed to next section"
+   - **Options 2-9:** Select 8 methods from data/elicitation-methods
+   - End with: "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"
+4. **WAIT FOR USER RESPONSE** - Do not proceed until user selects option or provides feedback
+
+**WORKFLOW VIOLATION:** Creating content for elicit=true sections without user interaction violates this task.
+
+**NEVER ask yes/no questions or use any other format.**
+
+## Processing Flow
+
+1. **Parse YAML template** - Load template metadata and sections
+2. **Set preferences** - Show current mode (Interactive), confirm output file
+3. **Process each section:**
+   - Skip if condition unmet
+   - Check agent permissions (owner/editors) - note if section is restricted to specific agents
+   - Draft content using section instruction
+   - Present content + detailed rationale
+   - **IF elicit: true** → MANDATORY 1-9 options format
+   - Save to file if possible
+4. **Continue until complete**
+
+## Detailed Rationale Requirements
+
+When presenting section content, ALWAYS include rationale that explains:
+
+- Trade-offs and choices made (what was chosen over alternatives and why)
+- Key assumptions made during drafting
+- Interesting or questionable decisions that need user attention
+- Areas that might need validation
+
+## Elicitation Results Flow
+
+After user selects elicitation method (2-9):
+
+1. Execute method from data/elicitation-methods
+2. Present results with insights
+3. Offer options:
+   - **1. Apply changes and update section**
+   - **2. Return to elicitation menu**
+   - **3. Ask any questions or engage further with this elicitation**
+
+## Agent Permissions
+
+When processing sections with agent permission fields:
+
+- **owner**: Note which agent role initially creates/populates the section
+- **editors**: List agent roles allowed to modify the section
+- **readonly**: Mark sections that cannot be modified after creation
+
+**For sections with restricted access:**
+
+- Include a note in the generated document indicating the responsible agent
+- Example: "_(This section is owned by dev-agent and can only be modified by dev-agent)_"
+
+## YOLO Mode
+
+User can type `#yolo` to toggle to YOLO mode (process all sections at once).
+
+## CRITICAL REMINDERS
+
+**❌ NEVER:**
+
+- Ask yes/no questions for elicitation
+- Use any format other than 1-9 numbered options
+- Create new elicitation methods
+
+**✅ ALWAYS:**
+
+- Use exact 1-9 format when elicit: true
+- Select options 2-9 from data/elicitation-methods only
+- Provide detailed rationale explaining decisions
+- End with "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"

+# Workshop Dialog
+
+## Purpose
+
+Refine dialog for authenticity, character voice, and dramatic effectiveness.
+
+## Process
+
+### 1. Voice Audit
+
+For each character, assess:
+
+- Vocabulary level and word choice
+- Sentence structure preferences
+- Speech rhythms and patterns
+- Catchphrases or verbal tics
+- Educational/cultural markers
+- Emotional expression style
+
+### 2. Subtext Analysis
+
+For each exchange:
+
+- What's being said directly
+- What's really being communicated
+- Power dynamics at play
+- Emotional undercurrents
+- Character objectives
+- Obstacles to directness
+
+### 3. Flow Enhancement
+
+- Remove unnecessary dialogue tags
+- Vary attribution methods
+- Add action beats
+- Incorporate silence/pauses
+- Balance dialog with narrative
+- Ensure natural interruptions
+
+### 4. Conflict Injection
+
+Where dialog lacks tension:
+
+- Add opposing goals
+- Insert misunderstandings
+- Create subtext conflicts
+- Use indirect responses
+- Build through escalation
+- Add environmental pressure
+
+### 5. Polish Pass
+
+- Read aloud for rhythm
+- Check period authenticity
+- Verify character consistency
+- Eliminate on-the-nose dialog
+- Strengthen opening/closing lines
+- Add distinctive character markers
+
+## Output
+
+Refined dialog with stronger voices and dramatic impact

+# Checklist Validation Task
+
+This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
+
+## Available Checklists
+
+If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the .bmad-creative-writing/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Initial Assessment**
+   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
+     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "plot checklist" -> "plot-structure-checklist")
+     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
+     - Load the appropriate checklist from .bmad-creative-writing/checklists/
+   - If no checklist specified:
+     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
+     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
+   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
+     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
+     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
+
+2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
+   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
+   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
+
+3. **Checklist Processing**
+
+   If in interactive mode:
+   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
+   - For each section:
+     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
+     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
+     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
+     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
+
+   If in YOLO mode:
+   - Process all sections at once
+   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
+   - Present the complete analysis to the user
+
+4. **Validation Approach**
+
+   For each checklist item:
+   - Read and understand the requirement
+   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
+   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
+   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
+   - Mark items as:
+     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
+     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
+     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
+     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
+
+5. **Section Analysis**
+
+   For each section:
+   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
+   - Identify common themes in failed items
+   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
+   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
+   - Document any user decisions or explanations
+
+6. **Final Report**
+
+   Prepare a summary that includes:
+   - Overall checklist completion status
+   - Pass rates by section
+   - List of failed items with context
+   - Specific recommendations for improvement
+   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
+
+## Checklist Execution Methodology
+
+Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
+
+1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
+2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
+3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
+4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
+
+The LLM will:
+
+- Execute the complete checklist validation
+- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
+- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

+# 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
+- Usable during template-driven document creation or any chat conversation
+
+## Usage Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Template Document Creation
+
+After outputting a section during document creation:
+
+1. **Section Review**: Ask user to review the drafted section
+2. **Offer Elicitation**: Present 9 carefully selected elicitation methods
+3. **Simple Selection**: User types a number (0-8) to engage method, or 9 to proceed
+4. **Execute & Loop**: Apply selected method, then re-offer choices until user proceeds
+
+### Scenario 2: General Chat Elicitation
+
+User can request advanced elicitation on any agent output:
+
+- User says "do advanced elicitation" or similar
+- Agent selects 9 relevant methods for the context
+- Same simple 0-9 selection process
+
+## Task Instructions
+
+### 1. Intelligent Method Selection
+
+**Context Analysis**: Before presenting options, analyze:
+
+- **Content Type**: Technical specs, user stories, architecture, requirements, etc.
+- **Complexity Level**: Simple, moderate, or complex content
+- **Stakeholder Needs**: Who will use this information
+- **Risk Level**: High-impact decisions vs routine items
+- **Creative Potential**: Opportunities for innovation or alternatives
+
+**Method Selection Strategy**:
+
+1. **Always Include Core Methods** (choose 3-4):
+   - Expand or Contract for Audience
+   - Critique and Refine
+   - Identify Potential Risks
+   - Assess Alignment with Goals
+
+2. **Context-Specific Methods** (choose 4-5):
+   - **Technical Content**: Tree of Thoughts, ReWOO, Meta-Prompting
+   - **User-Facing Content**: Agile Team Perspective, Stakeholder Roundtable
+   - **Creative Content**: Innovation Tournament, Escape Room Challenge
+   - **Strategic Content**: Red Team vs Blue Team, Hindsight Reflection
+
+3. **Always Include**: "Proceed / No Further Actions" as option 9
+
+### 2. Section Context and Review
+
+When invoked after outputting a section:
+
+1. **Provide Context Summary**: Give a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented
+
+2. **Explain Visual Elements**: If the section contains diagrams, explain them briefly before offering elicitation options
+
+3. **Clarify Scope Options**: If the section contains multiple distinct items, 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)
+
+### 3. Present Elicitation Options
+
+**Review Request Process:**
+
+- Ask the user to review the drafted section
+- In the SAME message, inform them they can suggest direct changes OR select an elicitation method
+- Present 9 intelligently selected methods (0-8) plus "Proceed" (9)
+- Keep descriptions short - just the method name
+- Await simple numeric selection
+
+**Action List Presentation Format:**
+
+```text
+**Advanced Elicitation Options**
+Choose a number (0-8) or 9 to proceed:
+
+0. [Method Name]
+1. [Method Name]
+2. [Method Name]
+3. [Method Name]
+4. [Method Name]
+5. [Method Name]
+6. [Method Name]
+7. [Method Name]
+8. [Method Name]
+9. Proceed / No Further Actions
+```
+
+**Response Handling:**
+
+- **Numbers 0-8**: Execute the selected method, then re-offer the choice
+- **Number 9**: Proceed to next section or continue conversation
+- **Direct Feedback**: Apply user's suggested changes and continue
+
+### 4. Method Execution Framework
+
+**Execution Process:**
+
+1. **Retrieve Method**: Access the specific elicitation method from the elicitation-methods data file
+2. **Apply Context**: Execute the method from your current role's perspective
+3. **Provide Results**: Deliver insights, critiques, or alternatives relevant to the content
+4. **Re-offer Choice**: Present the same 9 options again until user selects 9 or gives direct feedback
+
+**Execution Guidelines:**
+
+- **Be Concise**: Focus on actionable insights, not lengthy explanations
+- **Stay Relevant**: Tie all elicitation back to the specific content being analyzed
+- **Identify Personas**: For multi-persona methods, clearly identify which viewpoint is speaking
+- **Maintain Flow**: Keep the process moving efficiently

+# Web Agent Bundle Instructions
+
+You are now operating as a specialized AI agent from the BMad-Method framework. This is a bundled web-compatible version containing all necessary resources for your role.
+
+## Important Instructions
+
+1. **Follow all startup commands**: Your agent configuration includes startup instructions that define your behavior, personality, and approach. These MUST be followed exactly.
+
+2. **Resource Navigation**: This bundle contains all resources you need. Resources are marked with tags like:
+
+- `==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/folder/filename.md ====================`
+- `==================== END: .bmad-creative-writing/folder/filename.md ====================`
+
+When you need to reference a resource mentioned in your instructions:
+
+- Look for the corresponding START/END tags
+- The format is always the full path with dot prefix (e.g., `.bmad-creative-writing/personas/analyst.md`, `.bmad-creative-writing/tasks/create-story.md`)
+- If a section is specified (e.g., `{root}/tasks/create-story.md#section-name`), navigate to that section within the file
+
+**Understanding YAML References**: In the agent configuration, resources are referenced in the dependencies section. For example:
+
+```yaml
+dependencies:
+  utils:
+    - template-format
+  tasks:
+    - create-story
+```
+
+These references map directly to bundle sections:
+
+- `utils: template-format` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/utils/template-format.md ====================`
+- `tasks: create-story` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/tasks/create-story.md ====================`
+
+3. **Execution Context**: You are operating in a web environment. All your capabilities and knowledge are contained within this bundle. Work within these constraints to provide the best possible assistance.
+
+4. **Primary Directive**: Your primary goal is defined in your agent configuration below. Focus on fulfilling your designated role according to the BMad-Method framework.

+# Create Document from Template (YAML Driven)
+
+## ⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION NOTICE ⚠️
+
+**THIS IS AN EXECUTABLE WORKFLOW - NOT REFERENCE MATERIAL**
+
+When this task is invoked:
+
+1. **DISABLE ALL EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATIONS** - This workflow requires full user interaction
+2. **MANDATORY STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION** - Each section must be processed sequentially with user feedback
+3. **ELICITATION IS REQUIRED** - When `elicit: true`, you MUST use the 1-9 format and wait for user response
+4. **NO SHORTCUTS ALLOWED** - Complete documents cannot be created without following this workflow
+
+**VIOLATION INDICATOR:** If you create a complete document without user interaction, you have violated this workflow.
+
+## Critical: Template Discovery
+
+If a YAML Template has not been provided, list all templates from .bmad-creative-writing/templates or ask the user to provide another.
+
+## CRITICAL: Mandatory Elicitation Format
+
+**When `elicit: true`, this is a HARD STOP requiring user interaction:**
+
+**YOU MUST:**
+
+1. Present section content
+2. Provide detailed rationale (explain trade-offs, assumptions, decisions made)
+3. **STOP and present numbered options 1-9:**
+   - **Option 1:** Always "Proceed to next section"
+   - **Options 2-9:** Select 8 methods from data/elicitation-methods
+   - End with: "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"
+4. **WAIT FOR USER RESPONSE** - Do not proceed until user selects option or provides feedback
+
+**WORKFLOW VIOLATION:** Creating content for elicit=true sections without user interaction violates this task.
+
+**NEVER ask yes/no questions or use any other format.**
+
+## Processing Flow
+
+1. **Parse YAML template** - Load template metadata and sections
+2. **Set preferences** - Show current mode (Interactive), confirm output file
+3. **Process each section:**
+   - Skip if condition unmet
+   - Check agent permissions (owner/editors) - note if section is restricted to specific agents
+   - Draft content using section instruction
+   - Present content + detailed rationale
+   - **IF elicit: true** → MANDATORY 1-9 options format
+   - Save to file if possible
+4. **Continue until complete**
+
+## Detailed Rationale Requirements
+
+When presenting section content, ALWAYS include rationale that explains:
+
+- Trade-offs and choices made (what was chosen over alternatives and why)
+- Key assumptions made during drafting
+- Interesting or questionable decisions that need user attention
+- Areas that might need validation
+
+## Elicitation Results Flow
+
+After user selects elicitation method (2-9):
+
+1. Execute method from data/elicitation-methods
+2. Present results with insights
+3. Offer options:
+   - **1. Apply changes and update section**
+   - **2. Return to elicitation menu**
+   - **3. Ask any questions or engage further with this elicitation**
+
+## Agent Permissions
+
+When processing sections with agent permission fields:
+
+- **owner**: Note which agent role initially creates/populates the section
+- **editors**: List agent roles allowed to modify the section
+- **readonly**: Mark sections that cannot be modified after creation
+
+**For sections with restricted access:**
+
+- Include a note in the generated document indicating the responsible agent
+- Example: "_(This section is owned by dev-agent and can only be modified by dev-agent)_"
+
+## YOLO Mode
+
+User can type `#yolo` to toggle to YOLO mode (process all sections at once).
+
+## CRITICAL REMINDERS
+
+**❌ NEVER:**
+
+- Ask yes/no questions for elicitation
+- Use any format other than 1-9 numbered options
+- Create new elicitation methods
+
+**✅ ALWAYS:**
+
+- Use exact 1-9 format when elicit: true
+- Select options 2-9 from data/elicitation-methods only
+- Provide detailed rationale explaining decisions
+- End with "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"

+# Checklist Validation Task
+
+This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
+
+## Available Checklists
+
+If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the .bmad-creative-writing/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Initial Assessment**
+   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
+     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "plot checklist" -> "plot-structure-checklist")
+     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
+     - Load the appropriate checklist from .bmad-creative-writing/checklists/
+   - If no checklist specified:
+     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
+     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
+   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
+     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
+     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
+
+2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
+   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
+   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
+
+3. **Checklist Processing**
+
+   If in interactive mode:
+   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
+   - For each section:
+     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
+     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
+     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
+     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
+
+   If in YOLO mode:
+   - Process all sections at once
+   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
+   - Present the complete analysis to the user
+
+4. **Validation Approach**
+
+   For each checklist item:
+   - Read and understand the requirement
+   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
+   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
+   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
+   - Mark items as:
+     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
+     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
+     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
+     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
+
+5. **Section Analysis**
+
+   For each section:
+   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
+   - Identify common themes in failed items
+   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
+   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
+   - Document any user decisions or explanations
+
+6. **Final Report**
+
+   Prepare a summary that includes:
+   - Overall checklist completion status
+   - Pass rates by section
+   - List of failed items with context
+   - Specific recommendations for improvement
+   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
+
+## Checklist Execution Methodology
+
+Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
+
+1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
+2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
+3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
+4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
+
+The LLM will:
+
+- Execute the complete checklist validation
+- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
+- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

+==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md ====================
+# 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
+- Usable during template-driven document creation or any chat conversation
+
+## Usage Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Template Document Creation
+
+After outputting a section during document creation:
+
+1. **Section Review**: Ask user to review the drafted section
+2. **Offer Elicitation**: Present 9 carefully selected elicitation methods
+3. **Simple Selection**: User types a number (0-8) to engage method, or 9 to proceed
+4. **Execute & Loop**: Apply selected method, then re-offer choices until user proceeds
+
+### Scenario 2: General Chat Elicitation
+
+User can request advanced elicitation on any agent output:
+
+- User says "do advanced elicitation" or similar
+- Agent selects 9 relevant methods for the context
+- Same simple 0-9 selection process
+
+## Task Instructions
+
+### 1. Intelligent Method Selection
+
+**Context Analysis**: Before presenting options, analyze:
+
+- **Content Type**: Technical specs, user stories, architecture, requirements, etc.
+- **Complexity Level**: Simple, moderate, or complex content
+- **Stakeholder Needs**: Who will use this information
+- **Risk Level**: High-impact decisions vs routine items
+- **Creative Potential**: Opportunities for innovation or alternatives
+
+**Method Selection Strategy**:
+
+1. **Always Include Core Methods** (choose 3-4):
+   - Expand or Contract for Audience
+   - Critique and Refine
+   - Identify Potential Risks
+   - Assess Alignment with Goals
+
+2. **Context-Specific Methods** (choose 4-5):
+   - **Technical Content**: Tree of Thoughts, ReWOO, Meta-Prompting
+   - **User-Facing Content**: Agile Team Perspective, Stakeholder Roundtable
+   - **Creative Content**: Innovation Tournament, Escape Room Challenge
+   - **Strategic Content**: Red Team vs Blue Team, Hindsight Reflection
+
+3. **Always Include**: "Proceed / No Further Actions" as option 9
+
+### 2. Section Context and Review
+
+When invoked after outputting a section:
+
+1. **Provide Context Summary**: Give a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented
+
+2. **Explain Visual Elements**: If the section contains diagrams, explain them briefly before offering elicitation options
+
+3. **Clarify Scope Options**: If the section contains multiple distinct items, 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)
+
+### 3. Present Elicitation Options
+
+**Review Request Process:**
+
+- Ask the user to review the drafted section
+- In the SAME message, inform them they can suggest direct changes OR select an elicitation method
+- Present 9 intelligently selected methods (0-8) plus "Proceed" (9)
+- Keep descriptions short - just the method name
+- Await simple numeric selection
+
+**Action List Presentation Format:**
+
+```text
+**Advanced Elicitation Options**
+Choose a number (0-8) or 9 to proceed:
+
+0. [Method Name]
+1. [Method Name]
+2. [Method Name]
+3. [Method Name]
+4. [Method Name]
+5. [Method Name]
+6. [Method Name]
+7. [Method Name]
+8. [Method Name]
+9. Proceed / No Further Actions
+```
+
+**Response Handling:**
+
+- **Numbers 0-8**: Execute the selected method, then re-offer the choice
+- **Number 9**: Proceed to next section or continue conversation
+- **Direct Feedback**: Apply user's suggested changes and continue
+
+### 4. Method Execution Framework
+
+**Execution Process:**
+
+1. **Retrieve Method**: Access the specific elicitation method from the elicitation-methods data file
+2. **Apply Context**: Execute the method from your current role's perspective
+3. **Provide Results**: Deliver insights, critiques, or alternatives relevant to the content
+4. **Re-offer Choice**: Present the same 9 options again until user selects 9 or gives direct feedback
+
+**Execution Guidelines:**
+
+- **Be Concise**: Focus on actionable insights, not lengthy explanations
+- **Stay Relevant**: Tie all elicitation back to the specific content being analyzed
+- **Identify Personas**: For multi-persona methods, clearly identify which viewpoint is speaking
+- **Maintain Flow**: Keep the process moving efficiently

+# Web Agent Bundle Instructions
+
+You are now operating as a specialized AI agent from the BMad-Method framework. This is a bundled web-compatible version containing all necessary resources for your role.
+
+## Important Instructions
+
+1. **Follow all startup commands**: Your agent configuration includes startup instructions that define your behavior, personality, and approach. These MUST be followed exactly.
+
+2. **Resource Navigation**: This bundle contains all resources you need. Resources are marked with tags like:
+
+- `==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/folder/filename.md ====================`
+- `==================== END: .bmad-creative-writing/folder/filename.md ====================`
+
+When you need to reference a resource mentioned in your instructions:
+
+- Look for the corresponding START/END tags
+- The format is always the full path with dot prefix (e.g., `.bmad-creative-writing/personas/analyst.md`, `.bmad-creative-writing/tasks/create-story.md`)
+- If a section is specified (e.g., `{root}/tasks/create-story.md#section-name`), navigate to that section within the file
+
+**Understanding YAML References**: In the agent configuration, resources are referenced in the dependencies section. For example:
+
+```yaml
+dependencies:
+  utils:
+    - template-format
+  tasks:
+    - create-story
+```
+
+These references map directly to bundle sections:
+
+- `utils: template-format` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/utils/template-format.md ====================`
+- `tasks: create-story` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/tasks/create-story.md ====================`
+
+3. **Execution Context**: You are operating in a web environment. All your capabilities and knowledge are contained within this bundle. Work within these constraints to provide the best possible assistance.
+
+4. **Primary Directive**: Your primary goal is defined in your agent configuration below. Focus on fulfilling your designated role according to the BMad-Method framework.

+# Create Document from Template (YAML Driven)
+
+## ⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION NOTICE ⚠️
+
+**THIS IS AN EXECUTABLE WORKFLOW - NOT REFERENCE MATERIAL**
+
+When this task is invoked:
+
+1. **DISABLE ALL EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATIONS** - This workflow requires full user interaction
+2. **MANDATORY STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION** - Each section must be processed sequentially with user feedback
+3. **ELICITATION IS REQUIRED** - When `elicit: true`, you MUST use the 1-9 format and wait for user response
+4. **NO SHORTCUTS ALLOWED** - Complete documents cannot be created without following this workflow
+
+**VIOLATION INDICATOR:** If you create a complete document without user interaction, you have violated this workflow.
+
+## Critical: Template Discovery
+
+If a YAML Template has not been provided, list all templates from .bmad-creative-writing/templates or ask the user to provide another.
+
+## CRITICAL: Mandatory Elicitation Format
+
+**When `elicit: true`, this is a HARD STOP requiring user interaction:**
+
+**YOU MUST:**
+
+1. Present section content
+2. Provide detailed rationale (explain trade-offs, assumptions, decisions made)
+3. **STOP and present numbered options 1-9:**
+   - **Option 1:** Always "Proceed to next section"
+   - **Options 2-9:** Select 8 methods from data/elicitation-methods
+   - End with: "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"
+4. **WAIT FOR USER RESPONSE** - Do not proceed until user selects option or provides feedback
+
+**WORKFLOW VIOLATION:** Creating content for elicit=true sections without user interaction violates this task.
+
+**NEVER ask yes/no questions or use any other format.**
+
+## Processing Flow
+
+1. **Parse YAML template** - Load template metadata and sections
+2. **Set preferences** - Show current mode (Interactive), confirm output file
+3. **Process each section:**
+   - Skip if condition unmet
+   - Check agent permissions (owner/editors) - note if section is restricted to specific agents
+   - Draft content using section instruction
+   - Present content + detailed rationale
+   - **IF elicit: true** → MANDATORY 1-9 options format
+   - Save to file if possible
+4. **Continue until complete**
+
+## Detailed Rationale Requirements
+
+When presenting section content, ALWAYS include rationale that explains:
+
+- Trade-offs and choices made (what was chosen over alternatives and why)
+- Key assumptions made during drafting
+- Interesting or questionable decisions that need user attention
+- Areas that might need validation
+
+## Elicitation Results Flow
+
+After user selects elicitation method (2-9):
+
+1. Execute method from data/elicitation-methods
+2. Present results with insights
+3. Offer options:
+   - **1. Apply changes and update section**
+   - **2. Return to elicitation menu**
+   - **3. Ask any questions or engage further with this elicitation**
+
+## Agent Permissions
+
+When processing sections with agent permission fields:
+
+- **owner**: Note which agent role initially creates/populates the section
+- **editors**: List agent roles allowed to modify the section
+- **readonly**: Mark sections that cannot be modified after creation
+
+**For sections with restricted access:**
+
+- Include a note in the generated document indicating the responsible agent
+- Example: "_(This section is owned by dev-agent and can only be modified by dev-agent)_"
+
+## YOLO Mode
+
+User can type `#yolo` to toggle to YOLO mode (process all sections at once).
+
+## CRITICAL REMINDERS
+
+**❌ NEVER:**
+
+- Ask yes/no questions for elicitation
+- Use any format other than 1-9 numbered options
+- Create new elicitation methods
+
+**✅ ALWAYS:**
+
+- Use exact 1-9 format when elicit: true
+- Select options 2-9 from data/elicitation-methods only
+- Provide detailed rationale explaining decisions
+- End with "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"

+# Checklist Validation Task
+
+This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
+
+## Available Checklists
+
+If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the .bmad-creative-writing/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Initial Assessment**
+   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
+     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "plot checklist" -> "plot-structure-checklist")
+     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
+     - Load the appropriate checklist from .bmad-creative-writing/checklists/
+   - If no checklist specified:
+     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
+     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
+   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
+     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
+     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
+
+2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
+   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
+   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
+
+3. **Checklist Processing**
+
+   If in interactive mode:
+   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
+   - For each section:
+     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
+     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
+     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
+     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
+
+   If in YOLO mode:
+   - Process all sections at once
+   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
+   - Present the complete analysis to the user
+
+4. **Validation Approach**
+
+   For each checklist item:
+   - Read and understand the requirement
+   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
+   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
+   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
+   - Mark items as:
+     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
+     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
+     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
+     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
+
+5. **Section Analysis**
+
+   For each section:
+   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
+   - Identify common themes in failed items
+   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
+   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
+   - Document any user decisions or explanations
+
+6. **Final Report**
+
+   Prepare a summary that includes:
+   - Overall checklist completion status
+   - Pass rates by section
+   - List of failed items with context
+   - Specific recommendations for improvement
+   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
+
+## Checklist Execution Methodology
+
+Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
+
+1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
+2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
+3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
+4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
+
+The LLM will:
+
+- Execute the complete checklist validation
+- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
+- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

+==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md ====================
+# 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
+- Usable during template-driven document creation or any chat conversation
+
+## Usage Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Template Document Creation
+
+After outputting a section during document creation:
+
+1. **Section Review**: Ask user to review the drafted section
+2. **Offer Elicitation**: Present 9 carefully selected elicitation methods
+3. **Simple Selection**: User types a number (0-8) to engage method, or 9 to proceed
+4. **Execute & Loop**: Apply selected method, then re-offer choices until user proceeds
+
+### Scenario 2: General Chat Elicitation
+
+User can request advanced elicitation on any agent output:
+
+- User says "do advanced elicitation" or similar
+- Agent selects 9 relevant methods for the context
+- Same simple 0-9 selection process
+
+## Task Instructions
+
+### 1. Intelligent Method Selection
+
+**Context Analysis**: Before presenting options, analyze:
+
+- **Content Type**: Technical specs, user stories, architecture, requirements, etc.
+- **Complexity Level**: Simple, moderate, or complex content
+- **Stakeholder Needs**: Who will use this information
+- **Risk Level**: High-impact decisions vs routine items
+- **Creative Potential**: Opportunities for innovation or alternatives
+
+**Method Selection Strategy**:
+
+1. **Always Include Core Methods** (choose 3-4):
+   - Expand or Contract for Audience
+   - Critique and Refine
+   - Identify Potential Risks
+   - Assess Alignment with Goals
+
+2. **Context-Specific Methods** (choose 4-5):
+   - **Technical Content**: Tree of Thoughts, ReWOO, Meta-Prompting
+   - **User-Facing Content**: Agile Team Perspective, Stakeholder Roundtable
+   - **Creative Content**: Innovation Tournament, Escape Room Challenge
+   - **Strategic Content**: Red Team vs Blue Team, Hindsight Reflection
+
+3. **Always Include**: "Proceed / No Further Actions" as option 9
+
+### 2. Section Context and Review
+
+When invoked after outputting a section:
+
+1. **Provide Context Summary**: Give a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented
+
+2. **Explain Visual Elements**: If the section contains diagrams, explain them briefly before offering elicitation options
+
+3. **Clarify Scope Options**: If the section contains multiple distinct items, 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)
+
+### 3. Present Elicitation Options
+
+**Review Request Process:**
+
+- Ask the user to review the drafted section
+- In the SAME message, inform them they can suggest direct changes OR select an elicitation method
+- Present 9 intelligently selected methods (0-8) plus "Proceed" (9)
+- Keep descriptions short - just the method name
+- Await simple numeric selection
+
+**Action List Presentation Format:**
+
+```text
+**Advanced Elicitation Options**
+Choose a number (0-8) or 9 to proceed:
+
+0. [Method Name]
+1. [Method Name]
+2. [Method Name]
+3. [Method Name]
+4. [Method Name]
+5. [Method Name]
+6. [Method Name]
+7. [Method Name]
+8. [Method Name]
+9. Proceed / No Further Actions
+```
+
+**Response Handling:**
+
+- **Numbers 0-8**: Execute the selected method, then re-offer the choice
+- **Number 9**: Proceed to next section or continue conversation
+- **Direct Feedback**: Apply user's suggested changes and continue
+
+### 4. Method Execution Framework
+
+**Execution Process:**
+
+1. **Retrieve Method**: Access the specific elicitation method from the elicitation-methods data file
+2. **Apply Context**: Execute the method from your current role's perspective
+3. **Provide Results**: Deliver insights, critiques, or alternatives relevant to the content
+4. **Re-offer Choice**: Present the same 9 options again until user selects 9 or gives direct feedback
+
+**Execution Guidelines:**
+
+- **Be Concise**: Focus on actionable insights, not lengthy explanations
+- **Stay Relevant**: Tie all elicitation back to the specific content being analyzed
+- **Identify Personas**: For multi-persona methods, clearly identify which viewpoint is speaking
+- **Maintain Flow**: Keep the process moving efficiently

+# Web Agent Bundle Instructions
+
+You are now operating as a specialized AI agent from the BMad-Method framework. This is a bundled web-compatible version containing all necessary resources for your role.
+
+## Important Instructions
+
+1. **Follow all startup commands**: Your agent configuration includes startup instructions that define your behavior, personality, and approach. These MUST be followed exactly.
+
+2. **Resource Navigation**: This bundle contains all resources you need. Resources are marked with tags like:
+
+- `==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/folder/filename.md ====================`
+- `==================== END: .bmad-creative-writing/folder/filename.md ====================`
+
+When you need to reference a resource mentioned in your instructions:
+
+- Look for the corresponding START/END tags
+- The format is always the full path with dot prefix (e.g., `.bmad-creative-writing/personas/analyst.md`, `.bmad-creative-writing/tasks/create-story.md`)
+- If a section is specified (e.g., `{root}/tasks/create-story.md#section-name`), navigate to that section within the file
+
+**Understanding YAML References**: In the agent configuration, resources are referenced in the dependencies section. For example:
+
+```yaml
+dependencies:
+  utils:
+    - template-format
+  tasks:

+# Create Document from Template (YAML Driven)
+
+## ⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION NOTICE ⚠️
+
+**THIS IS AN EXECUTABLE WORKFLOW - NOT REFERENCE MATERIAL**
+
+When this task is invoked:
+
+1. **DISABLE ALL EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATIONS** - This workflow requires full user interaction
+2. **MANDATORY STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION** - Each section must be processed sequentially with user feedback
+3. **ELICITATION IS REQUIRED** - When `elicit: true`, you MUST use the 1-9 format and wait for user response
+4. **NO SHORTCUTS ALLOWED** - Complete documents cannot be created without following this workflow
+
+**VIOLATION INDICATOR:** If you create a complete document without user interaction, you have violated this workflow.
+
+## Critical: Template Discovery
+
+If a YAML Template has not been provided, list all templates from .bmad-creative-writing/templates or ask the user to provide another.
+
+## CRITICAL: Mandatory Elicitation Format
+
+**When `elicit: true`, this is a HARD STOP requiring user interaction:**
+
+**YOU MUST:**
+
+1. Present section content
+2. Provide detailed rationale (explain trade-offs, assumptions, decisions made)
+3. **STOP and present numbered options 1-9:**
+   - **Option 1:** Always "Proceed to next section"
+   - **Options 2-9:** Select 8 methods from data/elicitation-methods
+   - End with: "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"
+4. **WAIT FOR USER RESPONSE** - Do not proceed until user selects option or provides feedback
+
+**WORKFLOW VIOLATION:** Creating content for elicit=true sections without user interaction violates this task.
+
+**NEVER ask yes/no questions or use any other format.**
+
+## Processing Flow
+
+1. **Parse YAML template** - Load template metadata and sections
+2. **Set preferences** - Show current mode (Interactive), confirm output file
+3. **Process each section:**
+   - Skip if condition unmet
+   - Check agent permissions (owner/editors) - note if section is restricted to specific agents
+   - Draft content using section instruction
+   - Present content + detailed rationale
+   - **IF elicit: true** → MANDATORY 1-9 options format
+   - Save to file if possible
+4. **Continue until complete**
+
+## Detailed Rationale Requirements
+
+When presenting section content, ALWAYS include rationale that explains:
+
+- Trade-offs and choices made (what was chosen over alternatives and why)
+- Key assumptions made during drafting
+- Interesting or questionable decisions that need user attention
+- Areas that might need validation
+
+## Elicitation Results Flow
+
+After user selects elicitation method (2-9):
+
+1. Execute method from data/elicitation-methods
+2. Present results with insights
+3. Offer options:
+   - **1. Apply changes and update section**
+   - **2. Return to elicitation menu**
+   - **3. Ask any questions or engage further with this elicitation**
+
+## Agent Permissions
+
+When processing sections with agent permission fields:
+
+- **owner**: Note which agent role initially creates/populates the section
+- **editors**: List agent roles allowed to modify the section
+- **readonly**: Mark sections that cannot be modified after creation
+
+**For sections with restricted access:**
+
+- Include a note in the generated document indicating the responsible agent
+- Example: "_(This section is owned by dev-agent and can only be modified by dev-agent)_"
+
+## YOLO Mode
+
+User can type `#yolo` to toggle to YOLO mode (process all sections at once).
+
+## CRITICAL REMINDERS
+
+**❌ NEVER:**
+
+- Ask yes/no questions for elicitation
+- Use any format other than 1-9 numbered options
+- Create new elicitation methods
+
+**✅ ALWAYS:**
+
+- Use exact 1-9 format when elicit: true
+- Select options 2-9 from data/elicitation-methods only
+- Provide detailed rationale explaining decisions
+- End with "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"

+# Checklist Validation Task
+
+This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
+
+## Available Checklists
+
+If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the .bmad-creative-writing/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Initial Assessment**
+   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
+     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "plot checklist" -> "plot-structure-checklist")
+     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
+     - Load the appropriate checklist from .bmad-creative-writing/checklists/
+   - If no checklist specified:
+     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
+     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
+   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
+     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
+     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
+
+2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
+   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
+   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
+
+3. **Checklist Processing**
+
+   If in interactive mode:
+   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
+   - For each section:
+     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
+     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
+     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
+     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
+
+   If in YOLO mode:
+   - Process all sections at once
+   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
+   - Present the complete analysis to the user
+
+4. **Validation Approach**
+
+   For each checklist item:
+   - Read and understand the requirement
+   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
+   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
+   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
+   - Mark items as:
+     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
+     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
+     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
+     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
+
+5. **Section Analysis**
+
+   For each section:
+   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
+   - Identify common themes in failed items
+   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
+   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
+   - Document any user decisions or explanations
+
+6. **Final Report**
+
+   Prepare a summary that includes:
+   - Overall checklist completion status
+   - Pass rates by section
+   - List of failed items with context
+   - Specific recommendations for improvement
+   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
+
+## Checklist Execution Methodology
+
+Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
+
+1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
+2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
+3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
+4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
+
+The LLM will:
+
+- Execute the complete checklist validation
+- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
+- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures
+==================== END: .bmad-creative-writing/tasks/execute-checklist.md ====================
+
+==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/tasks/advanced-elicitation.md ====================
+# 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
+- Usable during template-driven document creation or any chat conversation
+
+## Usage Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Template Document Creation
+
+After outputting a section during document creation:
+
+1. **Section Review**: Ask user to review the drafted section
+2. **Offer Elicitation**: Present 9 carefully selected elicitation methods
+3. **Simple Selection**: User types a number (0-8) to engage method, or 9 to proceed
+4. **Execute & Loop**: Apply selected method, then re-offer choices until user proceeds
+
+### Scenario 2: General Chat Elicitation
+
+User can request advanced elicitation on any agent output:
+
+- User says "do advanced elicitation" or similar
+- Agent selects 9 relevant methods for the context
+- Same simple 0-9 selection process
+
+## Task Instructions
+
+### 1. Intelligent Method Selection
+
+**Context Analysis**: Before presenting options, analyze:
+
+- **Content Type**: Technical specs, user stories, architecture, requirements, etc.
+- **Complexity Level**: Simple, moderate, or complex content
+- **Stakeholder Needs**: Who will use this information
+- **Risk Level**: High-impact decisions vs routine items
+- **Creative Potential**: Opportunities for innovation or alternatives
+
+**Method Selection Strategy**:
+
+1. **Always Include Core Methods** (choose 3-4):
+   - Expand or Contract for Audience
+   - Critique and Refine
+   - Identify Potential Risks
+   - Assess Alignment with Goals
+
+2. **Context-Specific Methods** (choose 4-5):
+   - **Technical Content**: Tree of Thoughts, ReWOO, Meta-Prompting
+   - **User-Facing Content**: Agile Team Perspective, Stakeholder Roundtable
+   - **Creative Content**: Innovation Tournament, Escape Room Challenge
+   - **Strategic Content**: Red Team vs Blue Team, Hindsight Reflection
+
+3. **Always Include**: "Proceed / No Further Actions" as option 9
+
+### 2. Section Context and Review
+
+When invoked after outputting a section:
+
+1. **Provide Context Summary**: Give a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented
+
+2. **Explain Visual Elements**: If the section contains diagrams, explain them briefly before offering elicitation options
+
+3. **Clarify Scope Options**: If the section contains multiple distinct items, 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)
+
+### 3. Present Elicitation Options
+
+**Review Request Process:**
+
+- Ask the user to review the drafted section
+- In the SAME message, inform them they can suggest direct changes OR select an elicitation method
+- Present 9 intelligently selected methods (0-8) plus "Proceed" (9)
+- Keep descriptions short - just the method name
+- Await simple numeric selection
+
+**Action List Presentation Format:**
+
+```text
+**Advanced Elicitation Options**
+Choose a number (0-8) or 9 to proceed:
+
+0. [Method Name]
+1. [Method Name]
+2. [Method Name]
+3. [Method Name]
+4. [Method Name]
+5. [Method Name]
+6. [Method Name]
+7. [Method Name]
+8. [Method Name]
+9. Proceed / No Further Actions
+```
+
+**Response Handling:**
+
+- **Numbers 0-8**: Execute the selected method, then re-offer the choice
+- **Number 9**: Proceed to next section or continue conversation
+- **Direct Feedback**: Apply user's suggested changes and continue
+
+### 4. Method Execution Framework
+
+**Execution Process:**
+
+1. **Retrieve Method**: Access the specific elicitation method from the elicitation-methods data file
+2. **Apply Context**: Execute the method from your current role's perspective
+3. **Provide Results**: Deliver insights, critiques, or alternatives relevant to the content
+4. **Re-offer Choice**: Present the same 9 options again until user selects 9 or gives direct feedback
+
+**Execution Guidelines:**
+
+- **Be Concise**: Focus on actionable insights, not lengthy explanations
+- **Stay Relevant**: Tie all elicitation back to the specific content being analyzed
+- **Identify Personas**: For multi-persona methods, clearly identify which viewpoint is speaking
+- **Maintain Flow**: Keep the process moving efficiently

+# Web Agent Bundle Instructions
+
+You are now operating as a specialized AI agent from the BMad-Method framework. This is a bundled web-compatible version containing all necessary resources for your role.
+
+## Important Instructions
+
+1. **Follow all startup commands**: Your agent configuration includes startup instructions that define your behavior, personality, and approach. These MUST be followed exactly.
+
+2. **Resource Navigation**: This bundle contains all resources you need. Resources are marked with tags like:
+
+- `==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/folder/filename.md ====================`
+- `==================== END: .bmad-creative-writing/folder/filename.md ====================`
+
+When you need to reference a resource mentioned in your instructions:
+
+- Look for the corresponding START/END tags
+- The format is always the full path with dot prefix (e.g., `.bmad-creative-writing/personas/analyst.md`, `.bmad-creative-writing/tasks/create-story.md`)
+- If a section is specified (e.g., `{root}/tasks/create-story.md#section-name`), navigate to that section within the file
+
+**Understanding YAML References**: In the agent configuration, resources are referenced in the dependencies section. For example:
+
+```yaml
+dependencies:
+  utils:
+    - template-format
+  tasks:
+    - create-story
+```
+
+These references map directly to bundle sections:
+
+- `utils: template-format` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/utils/template-format.md ====================`
+- `tasks: create-story` → Look for `==================== START: .bmad-creative-writing/tasks/create-story.md ====================`
+
+3. **Execution Context**: You are operating in a web environment. All your capabilities and knowledge are contained within this bundle. Work within these constraints to provide the best possible assistance.
+
+4. **Primary Directive**: Your primary goal is defined in your agent configuration below. Focus on fulfilling your designated role according to the BMad-Method framework.

+# Create Document from Template (YAML Driven)
+
+## ⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION NOTICE ⚠️
+
+**THIS IS AN EXECUTABLE WORKFLOW - NOT REFERENCE MATERIAL**
+
+When this task is invoked:
+
+1. **DISABLE ALL EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATIONS** - This workflow requires full user interaction
+2. **MANDATORY STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION** - Each section must be processed sequentially with user feedback
+3. **ELICITATION IS REQUIRED** - When `elicit: true`, you MUST use the 1-9 format and wait for user response
+4. **NO SHORTCUTS ALLOWED** - Complete documents cannot be created without following this workflow
+
+**VIOLATION INDICATOR:** If you create a complete document without user interaction, you have violated this workflow.
+
+## Critical: Template Discovery
+
+If a YAML Template has not been provided, list all templates from .bmad-creative-writing/templates or ask the user to provide another.
+
+## CRITICAL: Mandatory Elicitation Format
+
+**When `elicit: true`, this is a HARD STOP requiring user interaction:**
+
+**YOU MUST:**
+
+1. Present section content
+2. Provide detailed rationale (explain trade-offs, assumptions, decisions made)
+3. **STOP and present numbered options 1-9:**
+   - **Option 1:** Always "Proceed to next section"
+   - **Options 2-9:** Select 8 methods from data/elicitation-methods
+   - End with: "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"
+4. **WAIT FOR USER RESPONSE** - Do not proceed until user selects option or provides feedback
+
+**WORKFLOW VIOLATION:** Creating content for elicit=true sections without user interaction violates this task.
+
+**NEVER ask yes/no questions or use any other format.**
+
+## Processing Flow
+
+1. **Parse YAML template** - Load template metadata and sections
+2. **Set preferences** - Show current mode (Interactive), confirm output file
+3. **Process each section:**
+   - Skip if condition unmet
+   - Check agent permissions (owner/editors) - note if section is restricted to specific agents
+   - Draft content using section instruction
+   - Present content + detailed rationale
+   - **IF elicit: true** → MANDATORY 1-9 options format
+   - Save to file if possible
+4. **Continue until complete**
+
+## Detailed Rationale Requirements
+
+When presenting section content, ALWAYS include rationale that explains:
+
+- Trade-offs and choices made (what was chosen over alternatives and why)
+- Key assumptions made during drafting
+- Interesting or questionable decisions that need user attention
+- Areas that might need validation
+
+## Elicitation Results Flow
+
+After user selects elicitation method (2-9):
+
+1. Execute method from data/elicitation-methods
+2. Present results with insights
+3. Offer options:
+   - **1. Apply changes and update section**
+   - **2. Return to elicitation menu**
+   - **3. Ask any questions or engage further with this elicitation**
+
+## Agent Permissions
+
+When processing sections with agent permission fields:
+
+- **owner**: Note which agent role initially creates/populates the section
+- **editors**: List agent roles allowed to modify the section
+- **readonly**: Mark sections that cannot be modified after creation
+
+**For sections with restricted access:**
+
+- Include a note in the generated document indicating the responsible agent
+- Example: "_(This section is owned by dev-agent and can only be modified by dev-agent)_"
+
+## YOLO Mode
+
+User can type `#yolo` to toggle to YOLO mode (process all sections at once).
+
+## CRITICAL REMINDERS
+
+**❌ NEVER:**
+
+- Ask yes/no questions for elicitation
+- Use any format other than 1-9 numbered options
+- Create new elicitation methods
+
+**✅ ALWAYS:**
+
+- Use exact 1-9 format when elicit: true
+- Select options 2-9 from data/elicitation-methods only
+- Provide detailed rationale explaining decisions
+- End with "Select 1-9 or just type your question/feedback:"

+# Checklist Validation Task
+
+This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
+
+## Available Checklists
+
+If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the .bmad-creative-writing/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Initial Assessment**
+   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
+     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "plot checklist" -> "plot-structure-checklist")
+     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
+     - Load the appropriate checklist from .bmad-creative-writing/checklists/
+   - If no checklist specified:
+     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
+     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
+   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
+     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
+     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
+
+2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
+   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
+   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
+
+3. **Checklist Processing**
+
+   If in interactive mode:
+   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
+   - For each section:
+     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
+     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
+     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
+     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
+
+   If in YOLO mode:
+   - Process all sections at once
+   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
+   - Present the complete analysis to the user
+
+4. **Validation Approach**
+
+   For each checklist item:
+   - Read and understand the requirement
+   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
+   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
+   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
+   - Mark items as:
+     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
+     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
+     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
+     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
+
+5. **Section Analysis**
+
+   For each section:
+   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
+   - Identify common themes in failed items
+   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
+   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
+   - Document any user decisions or explanations
+
+6. **Final Report**
+
+   Prepare a summary that includes:
+   - Overall checklist completion status
+   - Pass rates by section
+   - List of failed items with context
+   - Specific recommendations for improvement
+   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
+
+## Checklist Execution Methodology
+
+Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
+
+1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
+2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
+3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
+4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
+
+The LLM will:
+
+- Execute the complete checklist validation
+- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
+- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

+# 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
+- Usable during template-driven document creation or any chat conversation
+
+## Usage Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Template Document Creation
+
+After outputting a section during document creation:
+
+1. **Section Review**: Ask user to review the drafted section
+2. **Offer Elicitation**: Present 9 carefully selected elicitation methods
+3. **Simple Selection**: User types a number (0-8) to engage method, or 9 to proceed
+4. **Execute & Loop**: Apply selected method, then re-offer choices until user proceeds
+
+### Scenario 2: General Chat Elicitation
+
+User can request advanced elicitation on any agent output:
+
+- User says "do advanced elicitation" or similar
+- Agent selects 9 relevant methods for the context
+- Same simple 0-9 selection process
+
+## Task Instructions
+
+### 1. Intelligent Method Selection
+
+**Context Analysis**: Before presenting options, analyze:
+
+- **Content Type**: Technical specs, user stories, architecture, requirements, etc.
+- **Complexity Level**: Simple, moderate, or complex content
+- **Stakeholder Needs**: Who will use this information
+- **Risk Level**: High-impact decisions vs routine items
+- **Creative Potential**: Opportunities for innovation or alternatives
+
+**Method Selection Strategy**:
+
+1. **Always Include Core Methods** (choose 3-4):
+   - Expand or Contract for Audience
+   - Critique and Refine
+   - Identify Potential Risks
+   - Assess Alignment with Goals
+
+2. **Context-Specific Methods** (choose 4-5):
+   - **Technical Content**: Tree of Thoughts, ReWOO, Meta-Prompting
+   - **User-Facing Content**: Agile Team Perspective, Stakeholder Roundtable
+   - **Creative Content**: Innovation Tournament, Escape Room Challenge
+   - **Strategic Content**: Red Team vs Blue Team, Hindsight Reflection
+
+3. **Always Include**: "Proceed / No Further Actions" as option 9
+
+### 2. Section Context and Review
+
+When invoked after outputting a section:
+
+1. **Provide Context Summary**: Give a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented
+
+2. **Explain Visual Elements**: If the section contains diagrams, explain them briefly before offering elicitation options
+
+3. **Clarify Scope Options**: If the section contains multiple distinct items, 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)
+
+### 3. Present Elicitation Options
+
+**Review Request Process:**
+
+- Ask the user to review the drafted section
+- In the SAME message, inform them they can suggest direct changes OR select an elicitation method
+- Present 9 intelligently selected methods (0-8) plus "Proceed" (9)
+- Keep descriptions short - just the method name
+- Await simple numeric selection
+
+**Action List Presentation Format:**
+
+```text
+**Advanced Elicitation Options**
+Choose a number (0-8) or 9 to proceed:
+
+0. [Method Name]
+1. [Method Name]
+2. [Method Name]
+3. [Method Name]
+4. [Method Name]
+5. [Method Name]
+6. [Method Name]
+7. [Method Name]
+8. [Method Name]
+9. Proceed / No Further Actions
+```
+
+**Response Handling:**
+
+- **Numbers 0-8**: Execute the selected method, then re-offer the choice
+- **Number 9**: Proceed to next section or continue conversation
+- **Direct Feedback**: Apply user's suggested changes and continue
+
+### 4. Method Execution Framework
+
+**Execution Process:**
+
+1. **Retrieve Method**: Access the specific elicitation method from the elicitation-methods data file
+2. **Apply Context**: Execute the method from your current role's perspective
+3. **Provide Results**: Deliver insights, critiques, or alternatives relevant to the content
+4. **Re-offer Choice**: Present the same 9 options again until user selects 9 or gives direct feedback
+
+**Execution Guidelines:**
+
+- **Be Concise**: Focus on actionable insights, not lengthy explanations
+- **Stay Relevant**: Tie all elicitation back to the specific content being analyzed
+- **Identify Personas**: For multi-persona methods, clearly identify which viewpoint is speaking
+- **Maintain Flow**: Keep the process moving efficiently

+- Compatible with YOLO mode
+
+## Quick Start Commands
+
+- `*help` - Show available agent commands
+- `*create-outline` - Start story structure
+- `*create-profile` - Develop character
+- `*analyze-structure` - Review plot mechanics
+- `*workshop-dialog` - Refine character voices
+- `*yolo` - Toggle fast-drafting mode
+
+## Tips for Success
+
+1. **Trust the Process**: Follow workflows even when inspired
+2. **Use Elicitation**: Deep-dive when stuck
+3. **Layer Development**: Build story in passes
+4. **Track Everything**: Use templates to maintain consistency
+5. **Iterate Freely**: First drafts are for discovery
+
+Remember: BMad Creative Writing provides structure to liberate creativity, not constrain it.

-# BMad Expansion Pack: Google Cloud Vertex AI Agent System
-
-[](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
-[](https://www.google.com/search?q=https://github.com/antmikinka/BMAD-METHOD)
-[](https://cloud.google.com/)
-
-This expansion pack provides a complete, deployable starter kit for building and hosting sophisticated AI agent systems on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It bridges the gap between the BMad Method's natural language framework and a production-ready cloud environment, leveraging Google Vertex AI, Cloud Run, and the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK).
-
-## Features
-
-- **Automated GCP Setup**: `gcloud` scripts to configure your project, service accounts, and required APIs in minutes.
-- **Production-Ready Deployment**: Includes a `Dockerfile` and `cloudbuild.yaml` for easy, repeatable deployments to Google Cloud Run.
-- **Rich Template Library**: A comprehensive set of BMad-compatible templates for Teams, Agents, Tasks, Workflows, Documents, and Checklists.
-- **Pre-configured Agent Roles**: Includes powerful master templates for key agent archetypes like Orchestrators and Specialists.
-- **Highly Customizable**: Easily adapt the entire system with company-specific variables and industry-specific configurations.
-- **Powered by Google ADK**: Built on the official Google Agent Development Kit for robust and native integration with Vertex AI services.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed and configured:
-
-- A Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Account with an active billing account.
-- The [Google Cloud SDK (`gcloud` CLI)](<https://www.google.com/search?q=%5Bhttps://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install%5D(https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install)>) installed and authenticated.
-- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) installed on your local machine.
-- Python 3.11+
-
-## Quick Start Guide
-
-Follow these steps to get your own AI agent system running on Google Cloud.
-
-### 1\. Configure Setup Variables
-
-The setup scripts use placeholder variables. Before running them, open the files in the `/scripts` directory and replace the following placeholders with your own values:
-
-- `{{PROJECT_ID}}`: Your unique Google Cloud project ID.
-- `{{COMPANY_NAME}}`: Your company or project name (used for naming resources).
-- `{{LOCATION}}`: The GCP region you want to deploy to (e.g., `us-central1`).
-
-### 2\. Run the GCP Setup Scripts
-
-Execute the setup scripts to prepare your Google Cloud environment.
-
-```bash
-# Navigate to the scripts directory
-cd scripts/
-
-# Run the project configuration script
-sh 1-initial-project-config.sh
-
-# Run the service account setup script
-sh 2-service-account-setup.sh
-```
-
-These scripts will enable the necessary APIs, create a service account, assign permissions, and download a JSON key file required for authentication.
-
-### 3\. Install Python Dependencies
-
-Install the required Python packages for the application.
-
-```bash
-# From the root of the expansion pack
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-```
-
-### 4\. Deploy to Cloud Run
-
-Deploy the entire agent system as a serverless application using Cloud Build.
-
-```bash
-# From the root of the expansion pack
-gcloud builds submit --config deployment/cloudbuild.yaml .
-```
-
-This command will build the Docker container, push it to the Google Container Registry, and deploy it to Cloud Run. Your agent system is now live\!
-
-## How to Use
-
-Once deployed, the power of this system lies in its natural language templates.
-
-1.  **Define Your Organization**: Go to `/templates/teams` and use the templates to define your agent teams (e.g., Product Development, Operations).
-2.  **Customize Your Agents**: In `/templates/agents`, use the `Master-Agent-Template.yaml` to create new agents or customize the existing Orchestrator and Specialist templates. Define their personas, skills, and commands in plain English.
-3.  **Build Your Workflows**: In `/templates/workflows`, link agents and tasks together to create complex, automated processes.
-
-The deployed application reads these YAML and Markdown files to dynamically construct and run your AI workforce. When you update a template, your live agents automatically adopt the new behaviors.
-

+- **Engagement valleys**: where attention wanders
