91f6c41be1 docs: radical reduction of documentation scope for v6 beta (#1406)
* docs: radical reduction of documentation scope for v6 beta

Archive and basement unreviewed content to ship a focused, minimal doc set.

Changes:
- Archive stale how-to workflow guides (will rewrite for v6)
- Archive outdated explanation and reference content
- Move unreviewed content to basement for later review
- Reorganize TEA docs into dedicated /tea/ section
- Add workflow-map visual reference page
- Simplify getting-started tutorial and sidebar navigation
- Add explanation pages: brainstorming, adversarial-review, party-mode,
  quick-flow, advanced-elicitation
- Fix base URL handling for subdirectory deployments (GitHub Pages forks)

The goal is a minimal, accurate doc set for beta rather than
comprehensive but potentially misleading content.

9b8ce69f37 fix(quick-spec): reorder final menu to D-B-A-P-R (#1402)
Group "go-on" options first (Done, Begin Dev), then reasoning options
(Advanced Elicitation, Party Mode, Adversarial Review).

Follows established pattern: most common action first, related options grouped.

79959e75ac fix(quick-flow): standardize menu shortcuts for intuitive UX (#1401)
* fix(quick-spec): change menu shortcuts to avoid Approve/Advanced confusion

Users were typing 'a' expecting to Approve (since it starts with A) but
triggering Advanced Elicitation instead. Changed shortcuts to:
- [C] Continue (was [Y] Approve)
- [E] Edit (was [C] Changes)

This keeps [A] for Advanced Elicitation consistent with other workflows.

Fixes user-reported UX issue with confusing menu shortcuts.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(quick-dev): standardize menu shortcuts to use intuitive letters

- Change [T] to [P] for "Plan first" (P matches the label)
- Change [1][2][3] to [W][F][S] for findings resolution:
  - [W] Walk through
  - [F] Fix automatically
  - [S] Skip

Consistent with letter-based menu pattern used elsewhere.

999ece33a9 Interactive workflow guide, README Quick Start overhaul, and /bmad-help callouts (#1396)
* Add interactive workflow guide page

Replace confusing static SVG workflow diagram with an interactive
guide at /workflow-guide. Users select their track (Quick Flow,
BMad Method, Enterprise) and see relevant phases, agents, commands,
and outputs. Update link validator to recognize custom page routes.

* Add visual dev loop indicator to workflow guide

Wrap create-story, dev-story, and code-review in a dashed border
group with a "Repeat for each story" label to clearly communicate
the iterative development cycle in Phase 4.

* Simplify workflow guide to vertical slash command flow

Replace expandable phase cards with a clean vertical flow showing
slash commands as the primary element, with down arrows between
steps, agent badges, required/optional status, and concise
descriptions. Add prominent /bmad-help callout and note that
agent loading is optional.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Simplify README Quick Start with numbered command flows

Replace wordy paragraphs and track table with two clear numbered
paths (Quick Flow: 3 commands, BMad Method: 6 steps) and a
prominent /bmad-help callout as the primary guidance mechanism.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Add Party Mode to README, /bmad-help to getting-started

Add Party Mode bullet to Why BMad section, note about agent-based
usage as an alternative to direct workflows, and a /bmad-help
mention in the getting-started tutorial after installation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Fix workflow-guide links to use relative paths

The /workflow-guide absolute path breaks with non-root base paths.
Use relative paths since workflow-guide is a custom Astro page
outside the docs collection. Docs-to-docs links keep the /docs/
pattern which the rehype plugin handles.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Revert workflow-guide links to absolute paths

Use /workflow-guide to match the /docs/ convention used throughout.
Works correctly on the production site where base path is /.

def8da0acb refactor: replace 'execute' with 'Read fully and follow:' in workflow prompts (#1387)
Replace ambiguous "execute" terminology with explicit "Read fully and follow:"
phrasing across all workflow files to prevent LLM goal-seeking behavior where
models attempt to "achieve the end result" rather than following step-by-step
instructions verbatim.

Changes:
- Update 5 handler templates with canonical phrasing
- Replace ~150 INSTRUCTIONAL patterns across 87 workflow files
- Add "[Workflow] complete." prefix to 7 workflow endpoints
- Preserve BEHAVIORAL/STRUCTURAL patterns (agent descriptions, XML tags)
- Fix gitignore and markdownlint to ignore all node_modules directories

Closes #1372

aad132c9b1 feat: add optional also_consider input to adversarial review task (#1371)
Add an optional also_consider parameter that allows callers to pass
domain-specific areas to keep in mind during review. This gently nudges
the reviewer toward specific concerns without overriding normal analysis.

Testing showed:
- Specific items steer strongly (questions get directly answered)
- Domain-focused items shift the lens (e.g., security focus = deeper security findings)
- Vague items have minimal effect (similar to baseline)
- Single items nudge without dominating
- Contradictory items handled gracefully

Includes test cases with sample content and 10 configurations to validate
the parameter behavior across different use cases.

96f21be73e docs: optimize style guide for LLM readers (#1321)
* docs: optimize style guide for LLM readers

Restructure documentation style guide with dependency-first ordering
and LLM-optimized content based on editorial-review-structure analysis.

Key changes:
- Add Universal Formatting Rules section at top (consolidated anti-patterns)
- Move Visual Hierarchy and formatting rules before document types
- Add Document Types decision table for type selection
- Move Before/After example to follow Visual Hierarchy
- Merge Links/Images into single Assets table
- Move tutorial-specific checklist into Tutorial Structure section
- Move Validation Steps to end (submission workflow)
- Cut abstract Quick Principles (no execution value for LLMs)
- Remove emotional/orientation language throughout
- Condense FAQ Sections structure

Result: ~35% reduction (539 deletions, 383 insertions) with improved
parseability for AI agents writing documentation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: clarify explanation checklist admonition limit

Disambiguate 2-3 admonitions max to explicitly show it is a per-document
limit that still respects the universal per-section rule.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: clarify header budget vs structure template relationship

Add note explaining that structure templates show content flow, not 1:1
header mapping. Admonitions and inline elements are within sections.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: remove horizontal rules to follow own guidelines

Remove all --- section separators to comply with Universal Formatting
Rules. The ## headers provide sufficient visual separation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: address PR review findings for style guide

- Fix forward reference in Header Budget section
- Clarify descriptions rule scope (tables and 5+ item lists)
- Restore realistic FAQ examples
- Add qualifier to admonition content length guideline

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: further optimize style guide as delta-only document

- Add opener declaring adherence to Google Style Guide and Diataxis
- Remove generic Google style guide sections (Visual Hierarchy patterns,
  Tables constraints, Code Blocks, Lists, Assets)
- Remove Diataxis explainer content (Document Types table, "X documents
  do Y" explanatory sentences, Before/After example)
- Keep all project-specific structure templates and checklists
- Consolidate rules into single Project-Specific Rules table

Result: 367 lines (down from 597), pure delta document assuming
LLM training knowledge of baseline standards.

- Add new prompts.js wrapper around @clack/prompts to fix Windows arrow
  key navigation issues (libuv #852)
- Fix validation logic in github-copilot.js that always returned true
- Add support for primitive choice values (string/number) in select/multiselect
- Add 'when' property support for conditional questions in prompt()
- Update all IDE installers to use new prompts module

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Move @clack/prompts from devDependencies to dependencies (critical)
- Remove unused inquirer dependency
- Fix potential crash in multiselect when initialValues is undefined
- Add async validator detection with explicit error message
- Extract validateCustomContentPathSync method in ui.js
- Extract promptInstallLocation methods in claude-code.js and antigravity.js

* fix(cli): add spacing between prompts and installation progress

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(cli): add multiselect usage hints for inexperienced users

Add inline navigation hints to all multiselect prompts showing
(↑/↓ navigate, SPACE select, ENTER confirm) to help users
unfamiliar with terminal multiselect controls.

Also restore detailed warning when no tools are selected,
explaining that SPACE must be pressed to select items.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(cli): restore IDE grouping using groupMultiselect

Replace flat multiselect with native @clack/prompts groupMultiselect
component to restore visual grouping of IDE/tool options:
- "Previously Configured" - pre-selected IDEs from existing install
- "Recommended Tools" - starred preferred options
- "Additional Tools" - other available options

This restores the grouped UX that was lost during the Inquirer.js
to @clack/prompts migration.

d419ac8a70 feat: add editorial review tasks for structure and prose (#1307)
* feat: add editorial review tasks for structure and prose

Add two complementary editorial review tasks:

- editorial-review-structure.xml: Structural editor that proposes cuts,
  reorganization, and simplification. Includes 5 document archetype models
  (Tutorial, Reference, Explanation, Prompt, Strategic) for targeted evaluation.

- editorial-review-prose.xml: Clinical copy-editor for prose improvements
  using Microsoft Writing Style Guide as baseline.

Both tasks support humans and llm target audiences with different principles.

* fix: add content-sacrosanct guardrail to editorial review tasks

Both editorial review tasks (prose and structure) were missing the key
constraint that reviewers should never challenge the ideas/knowledge
themselves—only how clearly they are communicated. This restores the
original design intent.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: align reader_type parameter naming across editorial tasks

Prose task was using 'target_audience' for the humans/llm optimization
flag while structure task correctly separates 'target_audience' (who
reads) from 'reader_type' (optimization mode). Aligns to reader_type.

d4f6642333 fix: add missing review menu and HALT to quick-spec step 4 (#1305)
Step 4 was missing a structured menu at the spec review checkpoint.
This caused agents to skip past the approval step without waiting for
explicit user confirmation.

Added:
- Review menu with [y] Approve, [c] Changes, [q] Questions, [a] Advanced Elicitation, [p] Party Mode
- Explicit HALT instruction
- Menu handling section

This aligns step 4 with the menu-driven pattern used in steps 1-3.

Fixes #1304

Also fixes pre-existing prettier issue in src/modules/cis/module.yaml.

* fix(build): use file glob instead of sidebar parsing for llms-full.txt

Replace brittle sidebar.js regex parsing with recursive file glob.
The old approach captured non-file strings like 'autogenerated' and
category labels, resulting in only 5 files being processed.

Now correctly processes all 86+ markdown files (~95k tokens).

* fix(seo): use absolute URLs in AI meta tags for agent discoverability

AI web-browsing agents couldn't follow relative paths in meta tags due to
URL security restrictions. Changed llms-full.txt and llms.txt meta tag
URLs from relative (baseUrl) to absolute (urlParts.origin + baseUrl).

d1f3844449 Docusaurus build fix - Sidebar and missing image issues (#1243)
* fix(docs): align sidebar with actual docs structure and fix image path

Sidebar referenced non-existent paths (modules/bmm/, getting-started/, etc.)
while actual docs live in different locations (modules/bmm-bmad-method/,
bmad-core-concepts/, etc.). Updated sidebar to match reality so Docusaurus
can build successfully.

Also fixed broken image reference in workflows-guide.md that used an
incorrect relative path.

b1d1242fcf fix: restore agent files accidentally modified in Docusaurus merge (#1191)
* fix: restore agent files accidentally modified in Docusaurus merge

Restores 25 agent files to their pre-merge state:
- Trigger format with shortcuts (WS, CH, BP, etc.) restored
- Fuzzy matching syntax restored
- BMB module: restores separate agent-builder, module-builder,
  workflow-builder agents; removes consolidated bmad-builder

Also updates test to match restored trigger format.

Note: Schema validation needs update in follow-up commit.

* fix: normalize trigger fuzzy match format for schema validation

- Add dashes to fuzzy match text to match kebab-case triggers
- Add missing 'chat' kebab in CH triggers (CH or chat or fuzzy match on chat)
- Relax schema to allow 1-3 char shortcuts and skip shortcut derivation check
- Remove compound-wrong-shortcut test fixture (no longer validated)

All 24 agent files now pass schema validation.

e59c7b79ed fix(bmgd): correct workflow-status filename and add sprint-planning update (#1172)
* fix(bmgd): add workflow status update to game-architecture completion

The game-architecture workflow was not updating the bmgd-workflow-status.yaml
file on completion, unlike other BMGD workflows (narrative, brainstorm-game).

Changes:
- Add step 4 "Update Workflow Status" to update create-architecture status
- Renumber subsequent steps (5-8 → 6-9)
- Add success metric for workflow status update
- Add failure condition for missing status update

* feat(bmgd): add generate-project-context workflow for game development

Adds a new workflow to create optimized project-context.md files for AI agent
consistency in game development projects.

New workflow files:
- workflow.md: Main workflow entry point
- project-context-template.md: Template for context file
- steps/step-01-discover.md: Context discovery & initialization
- steps/step-02-generate.md: Rules generation with A/P/C menus
- steps/step-03-complete.md: Finalization & optimization

Integration:
- Added generate-project-context trigger to game-architect agent menu
- Added project context creation option to game-architecture completion step
- Renumbered steps 6-9 → 7-10 to accommodate new step 6

Adapted from BMM generate-project-context with game-specific:
- Engine patterns (Unity, Unreal, Godot)
- Performance and frame budget rules
- Platform-specific requirements
- Game testing patterns

* fix(bmgd): correct workflow-status filename and add sprint-planning update

- Fix all BMGD workflows to reference bmgd-workflow-status.yaml instead of bmm-workflow-status.yaml
- Add workflow-status update to sprint-planning workflow completion

Affected workflows:
- brainstorm-game (instructions.md, step-01-init.md, step-04-complete.md)
- game-brief (instructions.md)
- narrative (instructions-narrative.md, step-11-complete.md)
- game-architecture (instructions.md)
- sprint-planning (instructions.md)

9fe79882b2 fix(release): restore automated release workflow for v6 (#1139)
* fix(release): update workflow to sync package-lock.json

- Call 'npm version' directly with --no-git-tag-version flag to ensure
  both package.json and package-lock.json are updated together
- Add 'alpha' option (default) for alpha version bumps
- Add 'beta' option to transition to/bump beta series
- Temporarily disable web bundles (tools/cli/bundlers/ is missing)

The workflow was previously calling non-existent npm scripts
(version:patch/minor/major) that were removed in the v6 refactor.

Note: This change cannot be fully tested without triggering an actual
release. The web bundles functionality requires a separate fix.

Fixes #1104

* fix(release): simplify version bump logic

Modern npm (v11+) correctly handles --preid flag transitions:
- prerelease --preid=beta on alpha.X produces beta.0 (works!)
- prerelease --preid=alpha on alpha.X produces alpha.X+1 (works!)

CodeRabbit warning was based on outdated npm behavior.
Consolidate alpha|beta into single case for cleaner code.

7a9f1d4a3c fix(bmm): normalize story status references to lowercase kebab-case
Updated status references to use canonical lowercase kebab-case format:

- dev-story/instructions.xml: Status field set to "review" (was "Ready for Review")
- dev-story/instructions.xml: Output messages reference actual "review" status
- dev-story/checklist.md: Status field instruction uses "review"
- daily-standup.xml: Status examples use "in-progress, review"

Story lifecycle: backlog → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done

Fixes #1105

7d6aae1b78 fix(bmm): remove stale 'drafted' story state from docs and workflows
The `drafted` story state is no longer used since create-story now sets
status directly to `ready-for-dev`. This PR removes all references to
this legacy state from BMM documentation and workflow files.

Changes:
- Remove `drafted` from story status definitions and state machine docs
- Remove dead story-context file detection (story-context files no longer exist)
- Replace "draft" verb with "create" in story-related messaging
- Add legacy `drafted` → `ready-for-dev` migration in sprint-status
- Clarify that validate-create-story is optional and doesn't change status
- Document story handoff sequence: create-story → (optional) validate → dev-story

Story lifecycle is now: backlog → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done

Closes #1089

e2d9d35ce9 fix(bmm): improve code review completion message (#1095)
Change "Story is ready for next work!" to "Code review complete!"

The original phrasing was misleading - when a code review finishes
with status "done", it means the review itself is complete and the
story is marked done in tracking. However, the user may choose to
do additional reviews or the story may genuinely be finished.
"Code review complete" more accurately describes what actually
happened without implying next steps.

a0442d4fb7 chore(cli): remove broken build caching (#1042)
The agent build caching never worked - BUILD-META comments were
never written to output files, so every build acted like --force.

Since building all 29 agents takes ~300ms, caching provided no
meaningful benefit. Removed ~190 lines of dead code including
checkIfNeedsRebuild, checkBuildStatus, buildMetadataComment,
and the --force flag.

* update 2024 to 2025

* fix(workflows): remove hardcoded years from WebSearch queries

Years in search queries (2024/2025) do not improve results - search
engines already prioritize current documentation. Tested all patterns
and confirmed identical quality results with/without years.

Removes years from:
- step-03-starter.md (5 queries)
- step-04-decisions.md (2 queries)
- game-architecture/instructions.md (2 queries)

Leaves file-utils.md unchanged (test fixture data, not a search query).

a6dffb4706 fix(installer): remove hardcoded 'bmad' prefix from files-manifest.csv paths (#1043)
The manifest writer hardcoded 'bmad' as the path prefix regardless of
the actual folder name (.bmad, bmad, etc). The reader had a matching
hardcoded strip, so it worked by accident.

Now paths are stored relative to bmadDir without any prefix. Legacy
fallback strips 'bmad/' on read - safe because no real path inside
bmadDir would start with 'bmad/'.

## Summary
- Track all files with TTS injection applied during installation
- Display informative summary explaining what TTS injection does
- Show backup location and restore command for recovery

## What is TTS Injection?
TTS (Text-to-Speech) injection adds voice instructions to BMAD agents,
enabling them to speak their responses aloud using AgentVibes.

Example: When you activate the PM agent, it will greet you with
spoken audio like "Hey! I'm your Project Manager. How can I help?"

## Changes
- **installer.js**: Track files in `processAgentFiles()`, `buildStandaloneAgents()`,
  and `rebuildAgentFiles()` when TTS markers are processed
- **compiler.js**: Add TTS injection support for custom agent compilation
- **ui.js**: Enhanced installation summary showing:
  - Explanation of what TTS injection is with example
  - List of all files with TTS injection applied (grouped by type)
  - Backup location (~/.bmad-tts-backups/)
  - Restore command for recovery

## Example Output
```

What is TTS Injection?

  TTS (Text-to-Speech) injection adds voice instructions to BMAD agents,
  enabling them to speak their responses aloud using AgentVibes.

  Example: When you activate the PM agent, it will greet you with
  spoken audio like "Hey! I'm your Project Manager. How can I help?"

 TTS injection applied to 11 file(s):

  Party Mode (multi-agent conversations):
    • .bmad/core/workflows/party-mode/instructions.md
  Agent TTS (individual agent voices):
    • .bmad/bmm/agents/analyst.md
    • .bmad/bmm/agents/architect.md
    ...

Backups & Recovery:

  Pre-injection backups are stored in:
    ~/.bmad-tts-backups/

  To restore original files (removes TTS instructions):
    bmad-tts-injector.sh --restore /path/to/.bmad
```

4539ca7436 feat: implement granular step-file workflow architecture with multi-menu support
## Major Features Added
- **Step-file workflow architecture**: Transform monolithic workflows into granular step files for improved LLM adherence and consistency
- **Multi-menu handler system**: New `handler-multi.xml` enables grouped menu items with fuzzy matching
- **Workflow compliance checker**: Added automated compliance validation for all workflows
- **Create/edit agent workflows**: New structured workflows for agent creation and editing

## Workflow Enhancements
- **Create-workflow**: Expanded from 6 to 14 detailed steps covering tools, design, compliance
- **Granular step execution**: Each workflow step now has dedicated files for focused execution
- **New documentation**: Added CSV data standards, intent vs prescriptive spectrum, and common tools reference

## Complete Migration Status
- **4 workflows fully migrated**: `create-agent`, `edit-agent`, `create-workflow`, and `edit-workflow` now use the new granular step-file architecture
- **Legacy transformation**: `edit-workflow` includes built-in capability to transform legacy single-file workflows into the new improved granular format
- **Future cleanup**: Legacy versions will be removed in a future commit after validation

## Schema Updates
- **Multi-menu support**: Updated agent schema to support `triggers` array for grouped menu items
- **Legacy compatibility**: Maintains backward compatibility with single `trigger` field
- **Discussion enhancements**: Added conversational_knowledge recommendation for discussion agents

## File Structure Changes
- Added: `create-agent/`, `edit-agent/`, `edit-workflow/`, `workflow-compliance-check/` workflows
- Added: Documentation standards and CSV reference files
- Refactored: `create-workflow/steps/` with detailed granular step files

## Handler Improvements
- Enhanced `handler-exec.xml` with clearer execution instructions
- Improved data passing context for executed files
- Better error handling and user guidance

This architectural change significantly improves workflow execution consistency across all LLM models by breaking complex processes into manageable, focused steps. The edit-workflow transformation tool ensures smooth migration of existing workflows to the new format.

2cac74cfb5 agent vibes injection and installer update 2025-11-26 11:00:46 -06:00
Paul Preibisch
5702195ef7 Add Text-to-Speech Integration via TTS_INJECTION System (#934)
* feat: Add provider-agnostic TTS integration via injection point system

Implements comprehensive Text-to-Speech integration for BMAD agents using a generic
TTS_INJECTION marker system. When AgentVibes (or any compatible TTS provider) is
installed, all BMAD agents can speak their responses with unique AI voices.

## Key Features

**Provider-Agnostic Architecture**
- Uses generic `TTS_INJECTION` markers instead of vendor-specific naming
- Future-proof for multiple TTS providers beyond AgentVibes
- Clean separation - BMAD stays TTS-agnostic, providers handle injection

**Installation Flow**
- BMAD → AgentVibes: TTS instructions injected when AgentVibes detects existing BMAD installation
- AgentVibes → BMAD: TTS instructions injected during BMAD installation when AgentVibes detected
- User must manually create voice assignment file when AgentVibes installs first (documented limitation)

**Party Mode Voice Support**
- Each agent speaks with unique assigned voice in multi-agent discussions
- PM, Architect, Developer, Analyst, UX Designer, etc. - all with distinct voices

**Zero Breaking Changes**
- Fully backward compatible - works without any TTS provider
- `TTS_INJECTION` markers are benign HTML comments if not processed
- No changes to existing agent behavior or non-TTS workflows

## Implementation Details

**Files Modified:**
- `tools/cli/installers/lib/core/installer.js` - TTS injection processing logic
- `tools/cli/lib/ui.js` - AgentVibes detection and installation prompts
- `tools/cli/commands/install.js` - Post-install guidance for AgentVibes setup
- `src/utility/models/fragments/activation-rules.xml` - TTS_INJECTION marker for agents
- `src/core/workflows/party-mode/instructions.md` - TTS_INJECTION marker for party mode

**Injection Point System:**
```xml
<rules>
  - ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}
  <!-- TTS_INJECTION:agent-tts -->
  - Stay in character until exit selected
</rules>
```

When AgentVibes is detected, the installer replaces this marker with:
```
- When responding to user messages, speak your responses using TTS:
  Call: `.claude/hooks/bmad-speak.sh '{agent-id}' '{response-text}'` after each response
  IMPORTANT: Use single quotes - do NOT escape special characters like ! or $
```

**Special Character Handling:**
- Explicit guidance to use single quotes without escaping
- Prevents "backslash exclamation" artifacts in speech

**User Experience:**
```
User: "How should we architect this feature?"
Architect: [Text response] + 🔊 [Professional voice explains architecture]
```

Party Mode:
```
PM (John): "I'll focus on user value..." 🔊 [Male professional voice]
UX Designer (Sara): "From a user perspective..." 🔊 [Female voice]
Architect (Marcus): "The technical approach..." 🔊 [Male technical voice]
```

## Testing

**Unit Tests:**  62/62 passing
- 49/49 schema validation tests
- 13/13 installation component tests

**Integration Testing:**
-  BMAD → AgentVibes (automatic injection)
-  AgentVibes → BMAD (automatic injection)
-  No TTS provider (markers remain as comments)

## Documentation

Comprehensive testing guide created with:
- Both installation scenario walkthroughs
- Verification commands and expected outputs
- Troubleshooting guidance

## Known Limitations

**AgentVibes → BMAD Installation Order:**
When AgentVibes installs first, voice assignment file must be created manually:
```bash
mkdir -p .bmad/_cfg
cat > .bmad/_cfg/agent-voice-map.csv << 'EOF'
agent_id,voice_name
pm,en_US-ryan-high
architect,en_US-danny-low
dev,en_US-joe-medium
EOF
```

This limitation exists to prevent false legacy v4 detection warnings from BMAD installer.

**Recommended:** Install BMAD first, then AgentVibes for automatic voice assignment.

## Related Work

**Companion Implementation:**
- Repository: paulpreibisch/AgentVibes
- Commits: 6 commits implementing injection processing and voice routing
- Features: Retroactive injection, file path extraction, escape stripping

**GitHub Issues:**
- paulpreibisch/AgentVibes#36 - BMAD agent ID support

## Breaking Changes

None. Feature is opt-in and requires separate TTS provider installation.

* fix: Enforce project hooks over global hooks in party mode

before, claude would sometimes favor global agent vibes hooks over project specific

* feat: Automate AgentVibes installer invocation after BMAD install

Instead of showing manual installation instructions, the installer now:
- Prompts "Press Enter to start AgentVibes installer..."
- Automatically runs npx agentvibes@latest install
- Handles errors gracefully with fallback instructions

This provides a seamless installation flow matching the test script's
interactive approach.

  - Interactive mode selection (official PR or custom fork)
  - Automatic BMAD CLI setup and linking
  - AgentVibes installation with guided prompts
  - Built-in verification checks for voice maps and hooks
  - Saved configuration for quick re-testing

- TESTING.md: Complete testing documentation
  - Quick start with one-line npx command
  - Manual installation alternative
  - Troubleshooting guide
  - Cleanup instructions

Testers can now run a single command to test the full AgentVibes integration
without needing to understand the complex setup process.

* fix: Add shell: true to npx execSync to prevent permission denied error

The execSync call for 'npx agentvibes@latest install' was failing with
'Permission denied' because the shell was trying to execute 'agentvibes@latest'
directly instead of passing it as an argument to npx.

Adding shell: true ensures the command runs in a proper shell context
where npx can correctly interpret the @latest version syntax.

* fix: Remove duplicate AgentVibes installation step from test script

The test script was calling AgentVibes installer twice:
1. BMAD installer now automatically runs AgentVibes (new feature)
2. Test script had a separate Step 6 that also ran AgentVibes

This caused the installer to run twice, with the second call failing
because it was already installed.

Changes:
- Removed redundant Step 6 (AgentVibes installation)
- Updated Step 5 to indicate it includes AgentVibes
- Updated step numbers from 7 to 6 throughout
- Added guidance that AgentVibes runs automatically

Now the flow is cleaner: BMAD installer handles everything!

* fix: Address bmadcode review - preserve variables and move TTS logic to injection

Fixes requested changes from PR review:

1. Preserve {bmad_folder} variable placeholder
   - Changed: {project_root}/.bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
   - To: {project_root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml
   - Allows users to choose custom BMAD folder names during installation

2. Move TTS-specific hook guidance to injection system
   - Removed hardcoded hook enforcement from source files
   - Added hook guidance to processTTSInjectionPoints() in installer.js
   - Now only appears when AgentVibes is installed (via TTS_INJECTION)

3. Maintain TTS-agnostic source architecture
   - Source files remain clean of TTS-specific instructions
   - TTS details injected at install-time only when needed
   - Preserves provider-agnostic design principle

Changes made:
- src/core/workflows/party-mode/instructions.md
  - Reverted .bmad to {bmad_folder} variable
  - Replaced hardcoded hook guidance with <!-- TTS_INJECTION:party-mode -->
  - Removed <note> about play-tts.sh hook location

- tools/cli/installers/lib/core/installer.js
  - Added hook enforcement to party-mode injection replacement
  - Guidance now injected only when enableAgentVibes is true

Addresses review comments from bmadcode:
- "needs to remain the variable. it will get set in the file at the install destination."
- "items like this we will need to inject if user is using claude and TTS"

The correct command to start Claude is 'claude', not 'claude-code'.
Updated line 362-363 in test-bmad-pr.sh to show the correct command.

* fix: Remove npm link from test script to avoid global namespace pollution

- Removed 'npm link' command that was installing BMAD globally
- Changed 'bmad install' to direct node execution using local clone
- Updated success message to reflect no global installation

This keeps testing fully isolated and prevents conflicts with:
- Existing BMAD installations
- Future official BMAD installs
- Orphaned symlinks when test directory is deleted

The test script now runs completely self-contained without modifying
the user's global npm environment.

- **Comprehensive anti-pattern prevention** stops wheel reinvention and wrong approaches
- **Developer optimization focus** for maximum clarity with minimum verbosity

📋 **Enhanced Definition of Done:**
- **27-point validation checklist** covers all implementation aspects
- **Multiple validation gates** prevent claiming work that isn't actually done
- **Comprehensive test requirements** ensure no functionality goes untested
- **File tracking and documentation** for complete project visibility

🔧 **Technical Improvements:**
- **Variable consistency** throughout all workflow files
- **XML instruction format** for better workflow engine compatibility
- **Proper ask tag handling** for user interaction clarity
- **Project context integration** without blocking implementation
- **Fixed all agent schema compliance** for proper array formatting

**Result:** Phase 4 now delivers superior development outcomes with:

6907d44810 fix: display proper persona names in custom agent manifests
## Problem
Custom agents showed generic names (like "Commit Poet") instead of their
actual persona names (like "Inkwell Von Comitizen") in the agent manifest.

## Root Cause
The extractManifestData function was using metadata.name/title instead of
extracting the persona name from the compiled agent XML.

## Solution
1. Added extractAgentAttribute function to pull attributes from <agent> tag
2. Prioritize XML extraction over metadata for persona info:
   - displayName: uses agent title attribute from XML
   - title: uses agent title attribute from XML
   - icon: uses agent icon attribute from XML
   - Falls back to metadata if XML extraction fails

## Result
Custom agents now display their actual persona names in manifests:
- Before: "Commit Poet"
- After: "Inkwell Von Comitizen"

This provides better user experience with proper agent identification
in IDE integrations and manifests.

- TOML format with proper description and prompt fields
- Uses existing processAgentLauncherContent method
- Format: custom-{agent-name}.toml

 Trae (.trae/rules/)
- Markdown format with bmad-agent-custom- prefix
- Follows existing BMAD naming pattern
- Format: bmad-agent-custom-{agent-name}.md

 Roo (.roomodes)
- YAML format appends to existing customModes section
- Creates customModes section if missing
- Format: bmad-custom-{agent-name} (slug-based)

 Kilo (.kilocodemodes)
- YAML format identical to Roo pattern
- Handles existing customModes gracefully
- Format: bmad-custom-{agent-name} (slug-based)

 Auggie (.augment/commands/bmad/)
- Frontmatter + Markdown format
- Follows existing Auggie command pattern
- Format: custom-{agent-name}.md

## Complete IDE Coverage:
ALL IDEs now support custom agent installation:

98342f2174 feat: add custom agent support to more IDEs
## Added installCustomAgentLauncher function to:

 Cline (.clinerules/workflows/)
- Creates workflow files with custom agent launchers
- Format: bmad-custom-{agent-name}.md

 Crush (.crush/commands/bmad/)
- Creates command files with custom agent launchers
- Format: custom-{agent-name}.md

 Gemini (.gemini/commands/)
- Creates TOML command files with custom agent launchers
- Format: bmad-custom-{agent-name}.toml

2edadd11ae fix: add custom agent support to Antigravity IDE
## Problem
Custom agents were only installing to Claude Code (.claude/commands/)
but not to Antigravity (.agent/) or other IDEs that lack installCustomAgentLauncher function.

## Root Cause
Antigravity was missing the installCustomAgentLauncher function that the
IdeManager calls to install custom agents during agent installation.

## Solution
Added installCustomAgentLauncher function to Antigravity that:
- Creates .agent directory if needed
- Generates custom agent launchers with @agentPath references
- Uses same pattern as existing Antigravity agent launchers
- Returns proper installation result for tracking

## Result
Custom agents now install to:
- Claude Code: .claude/commands/bmad/custom/agents/ 
- Antigravity: .agent/bmad-custom-agents-{agentName}.md 
- Codex: (already working) 

All configured IDEs now receive custom agent installations!

0aeaa5b2ea fix: compile agents now checks multiple source locations
## Problem
Compile Agents ignored custom agents in source locations like:
- {project-root}/custom/src/agents/
- {bmad-folder}/custom/src/agents/

## Solution
Update reinstallCustomAgents to check all locations:
1. _cfg/custom/agents/ (backup location)
2. {bmad-folder}/custom/src/agents/ (source in BMAD folder)
3. {project-root}/custom/src/agents/ (source at project root)

## Changes
- Search multiple locations for agents during compile
- Avoid duplicate processing with Set tracking
- Auto-backup source YAML to _cfg/custom/agents/ if needed
- Works with any custom bmad_folder name from config

Now 'Compile Agents' works with agents in any source location!

c57ada4d9c feat: improve agent creation workflow and documentation
## BMB Agent Workflow Improvements
- Always create folders for agents (even simple ones)
- Add compact info-and-installation-guide.md (20 lines max)
- Include installation guide with every created agent
- Update workflow to use standalone_output_folder structure

## Documentation Updates
- Clarify --defaults makes installation non-interactive
- Update all parameter documentation for clarity
- Fix npm package references (bmad-method only)

## New Agent Structure
Every agent now gets:
  agent-folder/
  ├── agent-name.agent.yaml    # Source YAML
  └── info-and-installation-guide.md  # Quick install guide + description

## Quick Install Commands (added to guide)
- Interactive: npx bmad-method agent-install --source ./agent.yaml
- Non-interactive: npx bmad-method agent-install --source ./agent.yaml --defaults

This makes agent installation much more user-friendly and consistent.

da00b295a9 fix: remove .agent from gitignore for Antigravity workflow access (#953)
Antigravity respects .gitignore rules which blocks access to workflow files
in .agent/workflows/, preventing custom workflows from being discovered.
Removing .agent from gitignore to allow Antigravity to scan workflow files.

Note: Codex and Claude Code ignore .gitignore when scanning for custom
prompts, so this only affects Antigravity users.

09533e4abb Chore/update gitignore (#945)
* feat: Add Google Antigravity IDE installer

Implements installer for Google Antigravity IDE with flattened slash command
naming to match Antigravity's namespace requirements.

Key features:
- Flattened file naming (bmad-module-agents-name.md) for proper slash commands
- Subagent installation support (project-level or user-level)
- Module-specific injection configuration
- Agent, workflow, task, and tool command generation

Implementation:
- Added AntigravitySetup class extending BaseIdeSetup
- Extracted flattenFilename() to BaseIdeSetup for reuse across IDE handlers
- Uses .agent/workflows directory structure
- Supports both interactive and non-interactive configuration

Fixes:
- Proper namespace isolation: /bmad-module-agents-dev instead of /dev
- Prevents conflicts between modules with same agent names

Note: This installer shares 95% of its code with claude-code.js.
Future refactoring could extract common patterns to IdeWithSlashCommandsSetup
base class (see design documents for details).

f17e4ef0b7 refactor(bmm,cis,core): Align diagram workflows with agile roles and distribute capabilities
## The Tale of the Frame Expert

Once upon a time, BMad Method had a specialized agent called Frame Expert.
This agent was the master of all visual artifacts - flowcharts, diagrams,
wireframes, data flows. Whenever anyone needed a diagram, they called upon
Frame Expert. The agent lived in its own isolated domain with four dedicated
workflows and a library of shared templates.

## The Awakening

But something felt wrong. Teams using BMad Method were meant to mirror real
agile teams - Product Managers, Architects, UX Designers, Tech Writers,
Developers. Each agent represented an authentic role you'd find in any
software team.

Except Frame Expert.

No real agile team has a "Frame Expert" or "Diagram Specialist" who creates
all visual artifacts. In real teams, Architects diagram system architecture.
PMs flowchart processes. UX Designers wireframe interfaces. Tech Writers
create documentation diagrams. The visuals emerge from the domain experts
who need them, not from a centralized diagram factory.

Frame Expert was an abstraction that made technical sense but violated the
very soul of BMad Method - authentic agile role modeling.

## The Transformation

And so Frame Expert was dissolved, its knowledge distributed to those who
truly needed it:

**The Architect** inherited system architecture diagrams and data flows -
the blueprints of technical systems they design.

**The Product Manager** received process flowcharts - the visual maps of
features and workflows they orchestrate.

**The UX Designer** claimed wireframes - the interface sketches that bring
their vision to life.

**The Tech Writer** gained all diagram types - the visual aids that clarify
their documentation.

Each agent now creates diagrams in their domain, using their expertise,
serving their purpose.

## The Shared Knowledge

But the wisdom of diagram creation itself - the Excalidraw templates, the
component libraries, the validation patterns - this knowledge was too
valuable to scatter. It was elevated to core resources, where both BMM
agents AND the new CIS presentation-master agent could draw upon it.

Shared infrastructure for common needs. Distributed execution for domain
expertise.

## The Ripple Effects

With diagrams now properly distributed, other misalignments became visible:

Epic creation was happening in Phase 2 (Planning), before Architecture
existed. But epics need architectural context - API contracts, data models,
technical decisions. So epic creation migrated to Phase 3 (Solutioning),
after Architecture provides that foundation.

Workflow paths were updated. Documentation gained visual flowcharts showing
the complete journey. Agent naming standards were clarified - filenames are
stable roles, persona names are user dreams.

## What Changed

**Removed:**
- frame-expert.agent.yaml (the centralized specialist)
- All frame-expert workflows and shared resources
- Phase 2 epic creation workflow (wrong timing)
- game-design workflow path (consolidated to method track)
- v6-open-items.md (planning doc, now complete)

**Distributed Diagram Capabilities:**
- Architect: create-excalidraw-diagram, create-excalidraw-dataflow
- PM: create-excalidraw-flowchart
- Tech Writer: create-excalidraw-{diagram,dataflow,flowchart}, generate-mermaid
- UX Designer: create-excalidraw-wireframe

**Created:**
- src/core/resources/ (shared diagram context for all modules)
- src/modules/cis/agents/presentation-master.agent.yaml (visual comms specialist)
- src/modules/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/create-epics-and-stories/ (epic creation's new home)
- src/modules/bmm/workflows/diagrams/ (distributed diagram implementations)
- src/modules/bmm/docs/images/ (workflow visualization assets)

**Enhanced:**
- All agent definitions with domain-appropriate diagram workflows
- Documentation with embedded workflow diagrams and visual guides
- Agent compilation docs with critical naming convention rules
- All 4 workflow paths (enterprise/method × brownfield/greenfield)

**Fixed:**
- Epic creation now in Phase 3 after Architecture
- Story context path variables in BMGD module
- PRD workflow descriptions (epics moved to Phase 3)

## For Users

The Frame Expert commands are gone. In their place:

- Need architecture diagrams? Ask `/architect`
- Need process flows? Ask `/pm`
- Need wireframes? Ask `/ux-designer`
- Need documentation visuals? Ask `/tech-writer`

Each expert creates diagrams in their domain, with their context, using
their judgment.

This is how real teams work.

224af173ef feat: Comprehensive edit-agent workflow enhancement with Expert agent support and unified validation
## Overview
Major enhancement to edit-agent workflow to match create-agent quality standards, plus critical addition of Expert agent sidecar file support and consolidation of validation checklists into single source of truth.

## 1. edit-agent Workflow Comprehensive Enhancement

### Documentation Reference Updates (workflow.yaml)
**Fixed all broken references** - replaced deleted docs with new comprehensive guides:
-  Removed: agent-types.md, agent-architecture.md, agent-command-patterns.md, communication-styles.md
-  Added structured references:
  * Core Concepts: understanding_agent_types, agent_compilation
  * Architecture Guides: simple_architecture, expert_architecture, module_architecture
  * Design Patterns: menu_patterns, communication_presets, brainstorm_context
  * Reference Agents: commit-poet, journal-keeper, module examples, BMM agents

### Critical Persona Field Guidance Added (instructions.md +59 lines)
**The #1 issue in legacy agents** - comprehensive guidance on persona field separation:

- Explains how LLMs interpret each field:
  * role → "What knowledge/skills/capabilities do I possess?"
  * identity → "What background/experience/context shapes my responses?"
  * communication_style → "What verbal patterns/word choice do I use?"
  * principles → "What beliefs/philosophy drive my choices?"

- BEFORE/AFTER examples showing common mistakes
- Red flag word detection guide (ensures, experienced, believes in, etc.)
- Pure communication style examples from reference agents

### Enhanced Step 1: Analysis (instructions.md +57 lines)
- References all new comprehensive documentation
- **CRITICAL: Persona field separation analysis**
  * Checks for behaviors/role/identity mixed into communication_style
  * Compares against communication_presets for purity
  * Compares against reference agents for quality
- Warm, conversational feedback explaining issues found

### Massive Step 3 Enhancement: Communication Style Refinement (+122 lines)
**7-step prescriptive pattern for fixing the #1 quality issue:**

1. Diagnose Current Communication Style - red flag word detection
2. Extract Non-Style Content - working copy methodology
3. Discover TRUE Communication Style - interview questions + preset exploration
4. Craft Pure Communication Style - good/bad examples from references
5. Show Before/After With Full Context - complete transformation
6. Validate Against Standards - zero red flags, compare to presets/references
7. Confirm With User - explain changes, read dramatically, refine

Examples from actual reference agents:
- "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue" (Mary/analyst)
- "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs" (Amelia/dev)
- "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase" (commit-poet)

### Legacy Type Migration Pattern (+42 lines)
**Comprehensive guide for full/hybrid/standalone → Simple/Expert/Module migration:**

- Clear explanations of modern types (architecture, NOT capability)
- Migration patterns with decision tree
- Structural conversion guides (Simple ↔ Expert)
- Module = design intent clarification

### Enhanced Validation (Step 4)
- Persona field separation validation emphasized
- Updated success message with all quality standards
- Comprehensive checklist validation

### Complete README Documentation (200 lines created)
- Purpose emphasizing persona field separation as #1 issue
- 14 common editing scenarios (persona separation listed FIRST)
- Complete doc reference listing by category
- Dedicated "Critical: Persona Field Separation" section
- Red flag words guide
- 3 detailed usage scenarios
- Quality standards checklist

## 2. Expert Agent Sidecar File Support (NEW)

### Step 1: Smart Path Detection and Loading (+35 lines)
**Automatically detects and loads based on path type:**

```yaml
If path is .agent.yaml → Simple Agent (load single file)
If path is folder → Expert Agent:
  - Load .agent.yaml from inside folder
  - Load ALL sidecar files (*.md, *.txt, *.csv, *.json, *.yaml)
  - Create inventory for reference
  - Present: "Loaded agent.yaml + 5 sidecar files: [list]"
```

**Sidecar analysis:**
- Maps which menu items reference which sidecar files (tmpl="path", data="path")
- Checks if all sidecar references actually exist
- Identifies unused/orphaned sidecar files
- Assesses sidecar organization

**Warm expert agent feedback:**
"This is beautifully organized as an Expert agent! The sidecar files include 3 journal templates (daily, weekly, breakthrough) and a mood-patterns knowledge file. Your menu items reference them nicely. I do notice 'old-template.md' isn't referenced anywhere - we could clean that up."

### Step 3: Sidecar Editing Patterns (+47 lines)
**5 complete sidecar editing scenarios:**

1. **Updating templates** - Edit content, verify references work, test variables
2. **Adding new sidecar files** - Create file + add menu item with reference
3. **Removing unused sidecar files** - Confirm unused, ask to delete, clean references
4. **Reorganizing sidecar structure** - Move files, update ALL YAML references
5. **Updating knowledge base files** - Edit .csv/.json/.yaml data directly

**Critical mindset:** "Sidecar files are as much a part of the agent as the YAML!"

### Step 4: Sidecar Validation (+16 lines)
**Conversational validation:**
- "Your menu item 'daily-journal' references 'templates/daily.md'... checking... ✓ exists!"
- Check for orphaned files not referenced anywhere
- Verify sidecar file formats (YAML parses, CSV has headers, markdown well-formed)
- Success message: "✓ All sidecar file references valid - 5 sidecar files, all referenced correctly!"

### README Updates
- "What You'll Need" distinguishes Simple vs Expert paths
- Scenario 2b: Complete Expert agent editing example (journal-keeper template update)
- Updated common scenarios list

## 3. Unified Validation Checklist (Single Source of Truth)

### Problem Solved
- create-agent had outdated checklist (62 lines, no persona field separation)
- edit-agent had enhanced checklist (112 lines, with our improvements)
- Risk of drift and inconsistency between workflows

### Solution: agent-validation-checklist.md (160 lines)
**Canonical location:** `/src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/`

**Comprehensive coverage combining best of both:**
- YAML structure validation
- **Persona field separation** (field separation check, purity check, quality benchmarking)
- Menu validation (including sidecar file path validation)
- Type-specific validation (Simple/Expert/Module)
- Compilation validation
- Common issues and fixes section

**Key sections:**
- Persona Validation (CRITICAL - #1 Quality Issue)
  * Field Separation Check (what belongs where)
  * Communication Style Purity Check (red flag word detection)
  * Quality Benchmarking (compare to presets and references)
- Expert Agent validation (9 sidecar-specific checks)
- Module Agent validation (design intent verification)
- Common Issues and Fixes (real examples with solutions)

### References Updated
**create-agent/workflow.yaml:**
```yaml
validation: "{installed_path}/agent-validation-checklist.md"
```

**edit-agent/workflow.yaml:**
```yaml
# Shared validation checklist (canonical location in create-agent folder)
validation: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/workflows/create-agent/agent-validation-checklist.md"
```

**edit-agent/instructions.md:**
```xml
<note>The validation checklist is shared between create-agent and edit-agent workflows to ensure consistent quality standards.</note>
```

### Files Changed
-  Created: agent-validation-checklist.md (160 lines)
-  Deleted: create-agent/checklist.md (62 lines)
-  Deleted: edit-agent/checklist.md (112 lines)
- Updated: Both workflow.yaml files to reference unified checklist

## Statistics

**Overall changes:** 6 files changed, +553 insertions, -264 deletions

**edit-agent enhancements:**
- instructions.md: +396 lines (comprehensive guidance)
- README.md: +213 lines (complete documentation)
- workflow.yaml: +32 lines (proper doc references)

**Validation unification:**
- Net result: Better quality, less duplication, easier maintenance
- Single source of truth for all agent validation

## Impact

### For Users Editing Agents
- Automatically detects and handles Expert agents with sidecar files
- Clear guidance on fixing #1 issue (persona field separation)
- 7-step prescriptive pattern for communication style refinement
- Warm, educational feedback throughout
- Validates against same standards as create-agent

### For Agent Quality
- Both create and edit workflows use same validation standards
- Persona field separation gets proper attention
- Expert agent sidecar files treated as first-class citizens
- Legacy agents can be migrated to modern standards
- All agents validated against reference implementations

### For Maintenance
- ONE checklist to maintain instead of two
- Consistent quality standards across workflows
- Documentation properly linked to new comprehensive guides
- No risk of checklist drift

This brings edit-agent to the same quality level as create-agent while adding critical Expert agent support and establishing single source of truth for validation.

054b031c1d feat: Complete BMAD agent creation system with install tooling, references, and field guidance
## Overview
This commit represents a complete overhaul of the BMAD agent creation system, establishing clear standards for agent development, installation workflows, and persona design. The changes span documentation, tooling, reference implementations, and field-specific guidance.

## Key Components

### 1. Agent Installation Infrastructure
**New CLI Command: `agent-install`**
- Interactive agent installation with persona customization
- Supports Simple (single YAML), Expert (sidecar files), and Module agents
- Template variable processing with Handlebars-style syntax
- Automatic compilation from YAML to XML (.md) format
- Manifest tracking and IDE integration (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
- Source preservation in `_cfg/custom/agents/` for reinstallation

**Files Created:**
- `tools/cli/commands/agent-install.js` - Main CLI command
- `tools/cli/lib/agent/compiler.js` - YAML to XML compilation engine
- `tools/cli/lib/agent/installer.js` - Installation orchestration
- `tools/cli/lib/agent/template-engine.js` - Handlebars template processing

**Compiler Features:**
- Auto-injects frontmatter, activation, handlers, help/exit menu items
- Smart handler inclusion (only includes action/workflow/exec/tmpl handlers actually used)
- Proper XML escaping and formatting
- Persona name customization (e.g., "Fred the Commit Poet")

### 2. Documentation Overhaul
**Deleted Bloated/Outdated Docs (2,651 lines removed):**
- Old verbose architecture docs
- Redundant pattern files
- Outdated workflow guides

**Created Focused, Type-Specific Docs:**
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/understanding-agent-types.md` - Architecture vs capability distinction
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/simple-agent-architecture.md` - Self-contained agents
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/expert-agent-architecture.md` - Agents with sidecar files
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/module-agent-architecture.md` - Workflow-integrated agents
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/agent-compilation.md` - YAML → XML process
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/agent-menu-patterns.md` - Menu design patterns
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/index.md` - Documentation hub

**Net Result:** ~1,930 line reduction while adding MORE value through focused content

### 3. Create-Agent Workflow Enhancements
**Critical Persona Field Guidance Added to Step 4:**
Explains how the LLM interprets each persona field when the agent activates:

- **role** → "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
- **identity** → "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
- **communication_style** → "What verbal patterns, word choice, quirks, and phrasing do I use?"
- **principles** → "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices?"

**Key Insight:** `communication_style` should ONLY describe HOW the agent talks, not restate role/identity/principles. The `communication-presets.csv` provides 60 pure communication styles with NO role/identity/principles mixed in.

**Files Updated:**
- `src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/instructions.md` - Added persona field interpretation guide
- `src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/brainstorm-context.md` - Refined to 137 lines
- `src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/communication-presets.csv` - 60 styles across 13 categories

### 4. Reference Agent Cleanup
**Removed install_config Personality Bloat:**
Understanding: Future installer will handle personality customization, so stripped all personality toggles from reference agents.

**commit-poet.agent.yaml** (Simple Agent):
- BEFORE: 36 personality combinations (3 enthusiasm × 3 depths × 4 styles) = decision fatigue
- AFTER: Single concise persona with pure communication style
- Changed from verbose conditionals to: "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase. I transform mundane commits into lyrical masterpieces, finding beauty in your code's evolution."
- Reduction: 248 lines → 153 lines (38% reduction)

**journal-keeper.agent.yaml** (Expert Agent):
- Stripped install_config, simplified communication_style
- Shows proper Expert agent structure with sidecar files

**security-engineer.agent.yaml & trend-analyst.agent.yaml** (Module Agents):
- Added header comments explaining WHY Module Agent (design intent, not just location)
- Clarified: Module agents are designed FOR ecosystem integration, not capability-limited

**Files Updated:**
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/simple-examples/commit-poet.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/expert-examples/journal-keeper/journal-keeper.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/module-examples/security-engineer.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/module-examples/trend-analyst.agent.yaml`

### 5. BMM Agent Voice Enhancement
**Gave all 9 BMM agents distinct, memorable communication voices:**

**Mary (analyst)** - The favorite! Changed from generic "systematic and probing" to:
"Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue, thrilled when patterns emerge. Asks questions that spark 'aha!' moments while structuring insights with precision."

**Other Notable Voices:**
- **John (pm):** "Asks 'WHY?' relentlessly like a detective on a case. Direct and data-sharp, cuts through fluff to what actually matters."
- **Winston (architect):** "Speaks in calm, pragmatic tones, balancing 'what could be' with 'what should be.' Champions boring technology that actually works."
- **Amelia (dev):** "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs - every statement citable. No fluff, all precision."
- **Bob (sm):** "Crisp and checklist-driven. Every word has a purpose, every requirement crystal clear. Zero tolerance for ambiguity."
- **Sally (ux-designer):** "Paints pictures with words, telling user stories that make you FEEL the problem. Empathetic advocate with creative storytelling flair."

**Pattern Applied:** Moved behaviors from communication_style to principles, keeping communication_style as PURE verbal patterns.

**Files Updated:**
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/analyst.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/pm.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/architect.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/dev.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/sm.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/tea.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/tech-writer.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/ux-designer.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/frame-expert.agent.yaml`

### 6. Linting Fixes
**ESLint Compliance:**
- Replaced all `'utf-8'` with `'utf8'` (unicorn/text-encoding-identifier-case)
- Changed `variables.hasOwnProperty(varName)` to `Object.hasOwn(variables, varName)` (unicorn/prefer-object-has-own)
- Replaced `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(...))` with `structuredClone(...)` (unicorn/prefer-structured-clone)
- Fixed empty YAML mapping values in sample files

**Files Fixed:**
- 7 JavaScript files across agent tooling (compiler, installer, commands, IDE integration)
- 1 YAML sample file

## Architecture Decisions

### Agent Types Are About Architecture, Not Capability
- **Simple:** Self-contained in single YAML (NOT limited in capability)
- **Expert:** Includes sidecar files (templates, docs, etc.)
- **Module:** Designed for BMAD ecosystem integration (workflows, cross-agent coordination)

### Persona Field Separation Critical for LLM Interpretation
The LLM needs distinct fields to understand its role:
- Mixing role/identity/principles into communication_style confuses the persona
- Pure communication styles (from communication-presets.csv) have ZERO role/identity/principles content
- Example DON'T: "Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches..." (mixing identity + style)
- Example DO: "Systematic and probing. Structures findings hierarchically." (pure style)

### Install-Time vs Runtime Configuration
- Template variables ({{var}}) resolve at compile-time
- Runtime variables ({user_name}, {bmad_folder}) resolve when agent activates
- Future installer will handle personality customization, so agents should ship with single default persona

## Testing
- All linting passes (ESLint with max-warnings=0)
- Agent compilation tested with commit-poet, journal-keeper examples
- Install workflow validated with Simple and Expert agent types
- Manifest tracking and IDE integration verified

## Impact
This establishes BMAD as having a complete, production-ready agent creation and installation system with:
- Clear documentation for all agent types
- Automated compilation and installation
- Strong persona design guidance
- Reference implementations showing best practices
- Distinct, memorable agent voices throughout BMM module

7b7f984cd2 feat: Add Google Antigravity IDE installer (#938)
Implements installer for Google Antigravity IDE with flattened slash command
naming to match Antigravity's namespace requirements.

Key features:
- Flattened file naming (bmad-module-agents-name.md) for proper slash commands
- Subagent installation support (project-level or user-level)
- Module-specific injection configuration
- Agent, workflow, task, and tool command generation

Implementation:
- Added AntigravitySetup class extending BaseIdeSetup
- Extracted flattenFilename() to BaseIdeSetup for reuse across IDE handlers
- Uses .agent/workflows directory structure
- Supports both interactive and non-interactive configuration

Fixes:
- Proper namespace isolation: /bmad-module-agents-dev instead of /dev
- Prevents conflicts between modules with same agent names

Note: This installer shares 95% of its code with claude-code.js.
Future refactoring could extract common patterns to IdeWithSlashCommandsSetup
base class (see design documents for details).

073597a8ff feat: Add project-specific installation option for Codex CLI (#937)
Add support for choosing between global and project-specific installation
locations for Codex CLI prompts with CODEX_HOME configuration instructions.

Changes:
- Add collectConfiguration() to prompt for installation location (default: global)
- Support global (~/.codex/prompts) and project-specific (<project>/.codex/prompts)
- Display OS-specific CODEX_HOME setup instructions before user confirms
- Update detect() and cleanup() to handle both installation locations

Installation options:
- Global: Simple, works immediately, but prompts reference specific .bmad path
- Project-specific: Requires CODEX_HOME, better for multi-project workflows
  - Unix/Mac: alias codex='CODEX_HOME="$PWD/.codex" codex'
  - Windows: codex.cmd wrapper with %~dp0

f14014f0c7 refactor: Major workflow enhancements - time estimates prohibition, progressive epic creation, and workflow simplification
## Key Changes

### 1. Time Estimate Prohibition (All Modules)
- Added critical warnings against providing ANY time estimates (hours/days/weeks/months)
- Acknowledges AI has fundamentally changed development speed
- Applied to 33 workflow instruction files across BMB, BMGD, BMM, and CIS modules
- Updated workflow creation guide with prohibition guidelines

### 2. Enhanced Epic Creation Workflow
- Added intelligent UPDATE vs CREATE mode detection
- Detects available context (UX, Architecture, Domain brief, Product brief)
- Progressive enhancement: creates basic epics, then enriches with UX/Architecture
- Living document approach with continuous updates
- Added 305 lines of sophisticated workflow logic

### 3. Workflow Status Initialization Refactoring
- Simplified from 893 to 318 lines (65% reduction)
- Streamlined state detection: CLEAN, PLANNING, ACTIVE, LEGACY, UNCLEAR
- Cleaner path selection and initialization logic
- Removed redundant complexity while maintaining functionality

### 4. Workflow Path Updates
- Updated all 4 workflow paths (enterprise/method × brownfield/greenfield)
- Added multiple optional epic creation steps at different phases:
  - After PRD (basic structure)
  - After UX Design (with interaction context)
  - After Architecture (final with full context)
- Changed PRD output description from "with epics and stories" to "with FRs and NFRs"

### 5. Architecture & Innovation Updates
- Made epics input optional in architecture workflow (falls back to PRD FRs)
- Updated innovation strategy phases to remove time-based language
- Phases now: Immediate Impact → Foundation Building → Scale & Optimization

### Files Changed
- 33 instruction files updated with time estimate prohibition
- 2 workflow.yaml files updated (create-epics-and-stories, architecture)

48cf5c8056 feat(workflows): Implement intelligent file discovery protocol and Phase 4 BMGD workflows
## Core Workflow Engine Enhancements

### discover_inputs Protocol (MAJOR)
- Added reusable `discover_inputs` protocol to workflow.xml for intelligent file loading
- Supports three loading strategies:
  - FULL_LOAD: Load all shards for PRD, Architecture, UX (changed pattern from /index.md to /*/*.md)
  - SELECTIVE_LOAD: Load specific shard via template variable (e.g., epic-{{epic_num}}.md)
  - INDEX_GUIDED: Load index, analyze TOC, intelligently load relevant docs (with "DO NOT BE LAZY" mandate)
- Auto-discovers whole vs sharded documents with proper fallback
- Provides transparent reporting of loaded content with file counts
- Invoked via <invoke-protocol name="discover_inputs" /> tag in workflow instructions

### Advanced Elicitation Improvements
- Renamed adv-elicit.xml to advanced-elicitation.xml for clarity
- Updated all references across agents and commands

### Shard Document Tool Enhancement
- Added Step 6: Handle Original Document with three options:
  - [d] Delete - Remove original (recommended, prevents confusion)
  - [m] Move to archive - Backup original to archive folder
  - [k] Keep - Warning about defeating sharding purpose
- Prevents issue where both whole and sharded versions exist, confusing discover_inputs protocol

## BMM Module - Input File Pattern Standardization

### Phase 1 - Analysis (1 workflow)
- product-brief: Added load_strategy (FULL_LOAD for research/brainstorming, INDEX_GUIDED for document_project)
- Updated instructions.md to use invoke-protocol, replaced manual fuzzy matching

### Phase 2 - Planning (4 workflows)
- prd: Added load_strategy, updated instructions to reference {product_brief_content}, {research_content}
- create-ux-design: Added load_strategy, removed fuzzy matching from instructions
- tech-spec: Added load_strategy for brownfield context discovery
- All epics patterns updated to support SELECTIVE_LOAD for specific epic shards

### Phase 3 - Solutioning (2 workflows)
- architecture: Added load_strategy, updated instructions to use pre-loaded {prd_content}, {epics_content}, {ux_design_content}
- solutioning-gate-check: Added load_strategy, replaced manual discovery with protocol invocation

### Phase 4 - Implementation (8 workflows)
- code-review: Added load_strategy, fixed sharded patterns to /*/*.md, added step 1.5 for protocol
- correct-course: Added complete input_file_patterns section (was missing), added step 0.5
- create-story: Added load_strategy, updated to SELECTIVE_LOAD for epics, added step 1.5
- dev-story: Added complete input_file_patterns section (was missing), added step 0.5
- epic-tech-context: Added load_strategy, updated PRD extraction to use {prd_content}, added step 1.5
- retrospective: Added load_strategy for architecture/prd (FULL_LOAD), epics (SELECTIVE_LOAD), added step 0.5
- sprint-planning: Fixed sharded pattern to load ALL epics (/*/*.md), added step 0.5
- story-context: Added load_strategy, updated doc collection to reference pre-loaded content, added step 1.5

### Sprint Artifacts Path Corrections
- story-done: Added missing sprint_artifacts variable, fixed sprint_status path from {context_dir} to {sprint_artifacts}
- story-ready: Added missing sprint_artifacts variable
- story-context: Fixed undefined {context_dir} -> {sprint_artifacts}
- correct-course: Added sprint_artifacts and sprint_status variables

## BMGD Module - Phase 4 Production Workflows (NEW)

Added complete Phase 4 implementation workflows for game development:
- code-review: Senior developer review for completed game features
- correct-course: Sprint change management for game projects
- create-story: Story generation for game mechanics/features
- dev-story: Feature implementation workflow
- epic-tech-context: Technical spec generation per game epic
- retrospective: Epic completion review and lessons learned
- sprint-planning: Game development sprint status tracking
- story-context: Dynamic context assembly for game stories
- story-done: Story completion workflow
- story-ready: Story readiness workflow

All BMGD workflows follow BMM patterns with game-specific adaptations.

## Agent Updates

### BMM Agents
- Updated all 7 BMM agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, tech-writer, ux-designer)
- Standardized web bundle configurations

### BMGD Agents
- Updated 4 game development agents (game-architect, game-designer, game-dev, game-scrum-master)
- Aligned with BMM agent structure

### CIS Agents
- Updated 5 creative intelligence agents for consistency

## Documentation & Configuration

- Updated CHANGELOG.md with Phase 4 workflow additions
- Updated files-manifest.csv and task-manifest.csv
- Updated .claude commands for all agents
- Fixed formatting issues from previous commits

## Breaking Changes

NONE - All changes are backward compatible. Workflows without input_file_patterns continue to work.
Workflows with input_file_patterns now benefit from intelligent auto-loading.

## Migration Notes

Existing workflows can gradually adopt discover_inputs protocol by:
1. Adding load_strategy to existing input_file_patterns in workflow.yaml
2. Adding <invoke-protocol name="discover_inputs" /> step in instructions.md
3. Replacing manual file loading with references to {pattern_name_content} variables

4d745532aa refactor(tech-spec): unify story generation and adopt intent-based approach
Major refactoring of tech-spec workflow for quick-flow projects:

## Unified Story Generation
- Consolidated instructions-level0-story.md and instructions-level1-stories.md into single instructions-generate-stories.md
- Always generates epic + stories (minimal epic for 1 story, detailed for multiple)
- Consistent naming: story-{epic-slug}-N.md for all stories (1-5)
- Eliminated branching logic and duplicate code

## Intent-Based Intelligence
- Removed 150+ lines of hardcoded stack detection examples (Node.js, Python, Ruby, Java, Go, Rust, PHP)
- Replaced prescriptive instructions with intelligent guidance that trusts LLM capabilities
- PHASE 2 stack detection now adapts to ANY project type automatically
- Step 2 discovery changed from scripted Q&A to adaptive conversation goals

## Terminology Updates
- Replaced "Level 0" and "Level 1" with "quick-flow" terminology throughout
- Updated to "single story" vs "multiple stories (2-5)" language
- Consistent modern terminology across all files

## Variable and Structure Improvements
- Fixed variable references: now uses {instructions_generate_stories} instead of hardcoded paths
- Updated workflow.yaml with cleaner variable structure
- Removed unused variables (project_level, development_context)
- Added story_count and epic_slug runtime variables

## Files Changed
- Deleted: instructions-level0-story.md (7,259 bytes)
- Deleted: instructions-level1-stories.md (16,274 bytes)
- Created: instructions-generate-stories.md (13,109 bytes)
- Updated: instructions.md (reduced from 35,028 to 32,006 bytes)
- Updated: workflow.yaml, checklist.md

## Impact
- 50% fewer workflow files (3 → 1 for story generation)
- More adaptable to any tech stack
- Clearer, more maintainable code
- Better developer and user experience
- Trusts modern LLM intelligence instead of constraining with examples

2d99833b9e feat: Add documentation guides, simplify folder structure, and major workflow refactoring
Created two comprehensive guides for v6 features:

**docs/agent-customization-guide.md**
- Complete guide for customizing agent names, personas, memories, and behaviors
- Update-safe customization via bmad/_cfg/agents/ configuration files
- Real-world examples (TDD setup, multilingual agents, custom workflows)
- Troubleshooting and best practices

**docs/web-bundles-gemini-gpt-guide.md**
- Comprehensive guide for using BMad agents in Gemini Gems and Custom GPTs
- Critical setup rules with exact configuration text required
- Cost-saving strategy: web planning → local implementation (60-80% savings)
- Platform comparison (Gemini Gems strongly recommended over Custom GPTs)
- Complete workflow examples showing full planning-to-implementation cycle
- Team bundle guidance (Gemini 2.5 Pro+ only)

**README.md updates**
- Added prominent links in v6 Core Enhancements section
- Created new "Customization & Sharing" documentation category
- Web Bundles feature highlighted with direct guide link

**Unified output folder structure across all modules:**

**Before (confusing):**
- output_folder: Main docs
- game_design_docs: Separate design folder
- tech_docs: Separate technical folder
- dev_ephemeral_location: Separate ephemeral folder outside docs

**After (simplified):**
- output_folder: Single location for ALL AI-generated artifacts (default: "docs")
  - Clearer prompt: "Where should AI Generated Artifacts be saved?"
- sprint_artifacts: Phase 4 ephemeral content now WITHIN output_folder
  - BMM: {output_folder}/stories (stories, context, reports)
  - BMGD: {output_folder}/sprint-artifacts
  - No longer in separate {bmad_folder}-ephemeral location

**Benefits:**
- One clear location for all planning artifacts (PRD, Architecture, UX, etc.)
- Phase 4 ephemeral items logically grouped within output folder
- Eliminated confusing separate folder proliferation
- sprint_artifacts now configurable per module

**Files changed:**
- src/core/_module-installer/install-config.yaml
- src/modules/bmm/_module-installer/install-config.yaml
- src/modules/bmgd/_module-installer/install-config.yaml

**Also cleaned up BMGD config:**
- Renamed: specified_framework → primary_platform (clearer naming)
- Removed: unused data_path variable

Replaced old "project_level" (0-4) system with new "selected_track" terminology:
- **quick-flow**: Bug fixes and small features (replaces Level 0-1)
- **bmad-method**: Full planning track (replaces Level 2-3)
- **enterprise-bmad-method**: Extended planning (replaces Level 4)

**Core workflow updates:**
- solutioning-gate-check: Complete rewrite of validation logic for track-based artifacts
- architecture: Updated context detection, error handling, and messaging for tracks
- workflow-init: Updated artifact detection patterns for track-based paths
- All workflow status paths updated (method-greenfield, method-brownfield, enterprise-*)

Unified variable naming conventions across all workflows:
- {output_folder} → {output-folder} (hyphenated format)
- {dev_ephemeral_location} → {sprint_artifacts} (clearer purpose)
- Hardcoded status file paths → {workflow_status_file} variable

Fixed corrupted variable patterns throughout workflow files:
- {output*folder} → {output-folder}
- {ephemeral*location} → {sprint_artifacts}
- \_prd* → *prd* (escaped underscore artifacts)
- **\*\***\_\_\_**\*\*** → proper field placeholders

Affected patterns included malformed glob patterns, template variables, and markdown formatting artifacts from previous edits.

**Architecture workflow (create-architecture):**
- Fixed: "Decision Architecture" → "Create Architecture" (consistent naming)
- Improved PRD not found handling with exit/continue options
- Better user guidance when running standalone vs. within workflow path
- Removed hardcoded Level checks, now track-aware
- Enhanced validation checklist formatting (□ → - [])
- Typo fixes: "mulitple" → "multiple"

**Solutioning gate check:**
- Complete validation logic rewrite for track-based system
- Removed Level-specific artifact expectations
- Simplified document discovery (track determines what exists)
- Better analysis prompts and user feedback

**Workflow-init:**
- Updated artifact detection patterns for new folder structure
- Fixed corrupt glob patterns throughout
- Better sprint_artifacts location detection
- Improved workflow path assignment logic

**Various workflows:**
- Consistent variable naming across 40+ workflow files
- Improved error messages and user guidance
- Better markdown formatting (checkboxes, lists)
- Removed redundant validation criteria files (now inline)

Removed duplicate BMGD 4-production workflows (12 workflows):
- code-review, correct-course, create-story, dev-story
- epic-tech-context, retrospective, sprint-planning
- story-context, story-done, story-ready

**Why:** BMGD now uses shared BMM Phase 4 implementation workflows
**Benefit:** Single source of truth, no duplication to maintain

Also removed:
- validation-criteria.yaml (validation now inline in instructions)
- architecture-patterns.yaml references (patterns now managed differently)
- AUDIT-REPORT.md files (stale audit artifacts)

**BMB workflows:**
- Updated checklists for workflow and module creation
- Improved agent architecture documentation
- Minor instruction clarifications

**Core brainstorming workflow:**
- Updated README with usage examples
- Enhanced instructions and template clarity
- Better integration with other modules

**BMM installer:**
- Updated for track-based system
- sprint_artifacts configuration

**Tech Writer agent:**
- Minor configuration update for documentation workflows

Removed 200+ files that should not be in repository:
- Installed agent markdown files (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, etc.)
- Complete workflow instruction copies
- Documentation duplicates (quick-start, agents-guide, workflows-*)
- Test architecture knowledge base (22 files, 14,000+ lines)
- Configuration files (config.yaml, team definitions)

These are generated during installation and should not be version controlled.

Removed 21 pre-generated XML bundles:
- BMM agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, tech-writer, ux-designer)
- BMGD agents (game-architect, game-designer, game-dev, game-scrum-master)
- CIS agents (brainstorming-coach, creative-problem-solver, etc.)
- Team bundles (team-fullstack, team-gamedev, creative-squad)

**Why:** Users should generate fresh bundles via `npm run bundle` to get latest changes and customizations.

- **2 new documentation files** (comprehensive guides)
- **98 source files modified** (299 insertions, 6,567 deletions)
- **3 installer config files simplified** (major folder structure improvement)
- **200+ .bmad/ artifacts removed** (should not be in repo)
- **21 web-bundle files removed** (users regenerate as needed)
- **12 duplicate workflows removed** (BMGD consolidation)
- **40+ workflows updated** (track system, variable standardization, corruption fixes)

80a04bfce3 fix: Remove menu items for workflows with web_bundle: false
Enhanced removeSkippedWorkflowCommands() to properly remove all menu item
formats that reference workflows with web_bundle: false:

1. <item> tags with workflow attribute
2. <item> tags with run-workflow attribute
3. <c> tags with run-workflow attribute (legacy)

This ensures that workflows not designed for web bundles (like workflow-status
which requires filesystem access) are completely excluded from web bundles,
including their menu items.

Verified:
- workflow-status menu item removed from SM agent
- workflow-status YAML not included in bundle dependencies

281eac3373 feat: Add workflow vendoring to web bundler
The web bundler now performs workflow vendoring before bundling agents,
similar to the module installer. This ensures that workflows referenced
via workflow-install attributes are copied from their source locations
to their destination locations before the bundler attempts to resolve
and bundle them.

Changes:
- Added vendorCrossModuleWorkflows() method to WebBundler class
- Added updateWorkflowConfigSource() helper method
- Integrated vendoring into bundleAll(), bundleModule(), and bundleAgent()
- Workflows are vendored before agent discovery and bundling
- Config_source is updated in vendored workflows to reference target module

This fixes missing dependency warnings for BMGD agents that vendor
BMM workflows for Phase 4 (Production) workflows.

f84e18760f feat: Extract BMGD module and implement workflow vendoring
This commit extracts game development functionality from BMM into a standalone
BMGD (BMad Game Development) module and implements workflow vendoring to enable
module independence.

BMGD Module Creation:
- Moved agents: game-designer, game-dev, game-architect from BMM to BMGD
- Moved team config: team-gamedev
- Created new Game Dev Scrum Master agent using workflow vendoring pattern
- Reorganized workflows into industry-standard game dev phases:
  * Phase 1 (Preproduction): brainstorm-game, game-brief
  * Phase 2 (Design): gdd, narrative
  * Phase 3 (Technical): game-architecture
  * Phase 4 (Production): vendored from BMM workflows
- Updated all module metadata and config_source references

Workflow Vendoring Feature:
- Enables modules to copy workflows from other modules during installation
- Build-time process that updates config_source in vendored workflows
- New agent YAML attribute: workflow-install (build-time metadata)
- Final compiled agents use workflow-install value for workflow attribute
- Implementation in module manager: vendorCrossModuleWorkflows()
- Allows standalone module installation without forced dependencies

Technical Changes:
- tools/cli/lib/yaml-xml-builder.js: Use workflow-install for workflow attribute
- tools/cli/installers/lib/modules/manager.js: Add vendoring functions
- tools/schema/agent.js: Add workflow-install to menu item schema
- Updated 3 documentation files with workflow vendoring details

BMM Workflow Updates:
- workflow-status/init: Added game detection checkpoint
- workflow-status/paths/game-design.yaml: Redirect to BMGD module
- prd/instructions.md: Route game projects to BMGD
- research/instructions-market.md: Reference BMGD for game development

Documentation:
- Created comprehensive BMGD module README
- Added workflow vendoring documentation
- Updated BMB agent creation and module creation guides

accae5d789 refactor: comprehensive workflow modernization and standardization
## Major Improvements

### 1. Elicitation System Modernization
- Removed legacy `<elicit-required />` tag from workflow.xml
- Replaced with direct `<invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml</invoke-task>` pattern
- More explicit, self-documenting, and eliminates indirection layer
- Added strategic elicitation points across all planning workflows:
  - PRD: After success criteria, scope, functional requirements, and final review
  - Create-Epics-And-Stories: After epic proposals and each epic's stories
  - Architecture: After decisions, structure, patterns, implementation patterns, and final doc
  - Updated audit-workflow tag scanner to remove obsolete elicit-required reference

### 2. Input Document Discovery Streamlined
- Replaced verbose 19-line "Input Document Discovery" sections with single critical tag
- New format: `<critical>Input documents specified in workflow.yaml input_file_patterns...</critical>`
- Eliminates duplication - workflow.yaml already defines patterns
- Updated across 6 workflows (PRD, create-epics-and-stories, architecture, tech-spec, UX, gate-check)
- Saved ~114 lines of repeated bloat

### 3. Scale System Migration (Levels 0-4 → 3 Tracks)
- Updated PRD workflow from "Level 0-4" to "Quick Flow / BMad Method / Enterprise Method"
- Changed `project_level` variable to `project_track`
- Removed `target_scale` variable (no longer needed)
- Updated workflow.yaml descriptions to reference tracks not levels
- Updated checklist from "Level 2" and "Level 3-4" to "BMad Method" and "Enterprise Method"
- Aligns with new scale-adaptive-system.md (3-track methodology)

### 4. Epic/Story Template Standardization
- Replaced hardcoded 8-epic template with clean repeating pattern using N/M variables
- Added BDD-style acceptance criteria (Given/When/Then/And)
- Removed instructional bloat from templates (moved to instructions.md where it belongs)
- Template shows OUTPUT structure, instructions show PROCESS
- Applied to both create-epics-and-stories and tech-spec workflows
- Templates now use HTML comments to indicate repeating sections

### 5. Workflow.yaml Pattern Consistency
- Standardized input_file_patterns across all workflows
- Separated `recommended_inputs` (semantic WHAT) from `input_file_patterns` (file discovery WHERE)
- Removed duplication between recommended_inputs file paths and input_file_patterns
- Create-epics-and-stories now uses proper whole/sharded pattern like architecture workflow
- Solutioning-gate-check cleaned up to use semantic descriptions not file paths

## Files Changed (18)
- Core: workflow.xml (removed elicit-required tag and references)
- Audit workflow: Updated tag pattern scanner
- PRD workflow: Elicitation points, track migration, input discovery
- Create-epics-and-stories: Template rebuild, BDD format, elicitation, input patterns
- Tech-spec: Template rebuild, BDD format, input discovery
- UX Design: Input discovery streamlined
- Architecture: Elicitation at 5 key decision points, input discovery
- Gate-check: Input pattern cleanup, input discovery

## Impact
- More consistent elicitation across workflows
- Cleaner, more maintainable templates
- Better separation of concerns (templates vs instructions)
- Aligned with v6 3-track scale system
- Reduced bloat and duplication significantly

17f81a84f3 docs: comprehensive documentation accuracy overhaul and PM/UX evolution analysis
This commit represents a major documentation quality improvement, fixing critical inaccuracies and adding forward-looking guidance on the evolving role of PMs/UX in AI-driven development.

## Documentation Accuracy Fixes (Agent YAML as Source of Truth)

### Critical Corrections in agents-guide.md
- **Game Developer workflows**: Fixed incorrect workflow names (dev-story → develop-story, added story-done, removed non-existent create-story and retro)
- **Technical Writer naming**: Added agent name "Paige" to match all other agent naming patterns
- **Agent reference tables**: Updated to reflect actual agent capabilities from YAML configs
- **epic-tech-context ownership**: Corrected across all docs - belongs to SM agent, not Architect

### Critical Corrections in workflows-implementation.md
- **Line 16 + 75**: Fixed epic-tech-context agent from "Architect" → "SM" (matches sm.agent.yaml)
- **Line 258**: Updated epic-tech-context section header to show correct agent ownership
- **Multi-agent workflow table**: Moved epic-tech-context to SM agent row where it belongs

### Principle Applied
**Agent YAML files are source of truth** - All documentation now accurately reflects what agents can actually do per their YAML configurations, not assumptions or outdated info.

## Brownfield Development: Phase 0 Documentation Reality Check

### Rewrote brownfield-guide.md Phase 0 Section
Replaced oversimplified 3-scenario model with **real-world guidance**:

**Before**: Assumed docs are either perfect or non-existent
**After**: Handles messy reality of brownfield projects

**New Scenarios (4 instead of 3)**:
- **Scenario A**: No documentation → document-project (was covered)
- **Scenario B**: Docs exist but massive/outdated/incomplete → **document-project** (NEW - very common)
- **Scenario C**: Good docs but no structure → **shard-doc → index-docs** (NEW - handles massive files)
- **Scenario D**: Confirmed AI-optimized docs → Skip Phase 0 (was "Scenario C", now correctly marked RARE)

**Key Additions**:
- Default recommendation: "Run document-project unless you have confirmed, trusted, AI-optimized docs"
- Quality assessment checklist (current, AI-optimized, comprehensive, trusted)
- Massive document handling with shard-doc tool (>500 lines, 10+ level 2 sections)
- Explicit guidance on why regenerate vs index (outdated docs cause hallucinations)
- Impact explanation: how bad docs break AI workflows (token limits, wrong assumptions, broken integrations)

**Principle**: "When in doubt, run document-project" - Better to spend 10-30 minutes generating fresh docs than waste hours debugging AI agents with bad documentation.

## PM/UX Evolution: Enterprise Agentic Development

### New Content: The Evolving Role of Product Managers & UX Designers

Added comprehensive section based on **November 2025 industry research**:

**Industry Data**:
- 56% of product professionals cite AI/ML as top focus
- PRD-to-Code automation: build and deploy apps in 10-15 minutes
- By 2026: Roles converging into "Full-Stack Product Lead" (PM + Design + Engineering)
- Very high salaries for AI agent PMs who orchestrate autonomous systems

**Role Transformation**:
- From spec writers → code orchestrators
- PMs writing AI-optimized PRDs that **feed agentic pipelines directly**
- UX designers generating code with Figma-to-code tools
- Technical fluency becoming **table stakes**, not optional
- Review PRs from AI agents alongside human developers

**New Section: "How BMad Method Enables PM/UX Technical Evolution"** (10 ways):
1. **AI-Executable PRD Generation** - PRDs become work packages for cloud agents
2. **Automated Epic/Story Breakdown** - No more story refinement sessions
3. **Human-in-the-Loop Architecture** - PMs learn while validating technical decisions
4. **Cloud Agentic Pipeline** - Current (2025) + Future (2026) vision with diagrams
5. **UX Design Integration** - Designs validated through working prototypes
6. **PM Technical Skills Development** - Learn by doing through conversational workflows
7. **Organizational Leverage** - 1 PM → 20-50 AI agents (5-10× multiplier)
8. **Quality Consistency** - What gets built matches what was specified
9. **Rapid Prototyping** - Hours to validate ideas vs months
10. **Career Path Evolution** - Positions PMs for AI Agent PM, Full-Stack Product Lead roles

**Cloud Agentic Pipeline Vision**:
```
Current (2025): PM PRD → Stories → Human devs + BMad agents → PRs → Review → Deploy
Future (2026): PM PRD → Stories → Cloud AI agents → Auto PRs → Review → Auto-merge → Deploy
Time savings: 6-8 weeks → 2-5 days
```

**What Remains Human**:
- Product vision, empathy, creativity, judgment, ethics
- PMs spend MORE time on human elements (AI handles execution)
- Product leaders become "builder-thinkers" not just spec writers

### Document Tightening (enterprise-agentic-development.md)
- **Reduced from 1207 → 640 lines (47% reduction)**
- **10× more BMad-centric** - Every section ties back to how BMad enables the future
- Removed redundant examples, consolidated sections, kept actionable insights
- Stronger value propositions for PMs, UX, enterprise teams throughout

**Key Message**: "The future isn't AI replacing PMs—it's AI-augmented PMs becoming 10× more powerful through BMad Method."

## Impact

These changes bring documentation quality from **D- to A+**:
- **Accuracy**: Agent capabilities now match YAML source of truth (zero hallucination risk)
- **Reality**: Brownfield guidance handles messy real-world scenarios, not idealized ones
- **Forward-looking**: PM/UX evolution section positions BMad as essential framework for emerging roles
- **Actionable**: Concrete workflows, commands, examples throughout

3d4ea5ffd2 feat: add universal document sharding support with dual-strategy loading
Implement comprehensive document sharding system across all BMM workflows enabling 90%+ token savings for large multi-epic projects through selective loading optimization.

## Document Sharding System

### Core Features
- **Universal Support**: All 12 BMM workflows (Phase 1-4) handle both whole and sharded documents
- **Dual Loading Strategy**: Full Load (Phase 1-3) vs Selective Load (Phase 4)
- **Automatic Discovery**: Workflows detect format transparently (whole → sharded priority)
- **Efficiency Optimization**: 90%+ token reduction for 10+ epic projects in Phase 4

### Implementation Details

**Phase 1-3 Workflows (7 workflows) - Full Load Strategy:**
- product-brief, prd, gdd, create-ux-design, tech-spec, architecture, solutioning-gate-check
- Load entire sharded documents when present
- Transparent to user experience
- Better organization for large projects

**Phase 4 Workflows (5 workflows) - Selective Load Strategy:**
- sprint-planning (Full Load exception - needs all epics)
- epic-tech-context, create-story, story-context, code-review (Selective Load)
- Load ONLY the specific epic needed (e.g., epic-3.md for Epic 3 stories)
- Massive efficiency: Skip loading 9 other epics in 10-epic project

### Workflow Enhancements

**Added to all workflows:**
- `input_file_patterns` in workflow.yaml with wildcard discovery
- Document Discovery section in instructions.md
- Support for sharded index + section files
- Brownfield `docs/index.md` support

**Pattern standardization:**
```yaml
input_file_patterns:
  document:
    whole: "{output_folder}/*doc*.md"
    sharded: "{output_folder}/*doc*/index.md"
    sharded_single: "{output_folder}/*doc*/section-{{id}}.md"  # Selective load
```

### Retrospective Workflow Major Overhaul

Transformed retrospective into immersive, interactive team experience:

**Epic Discovery Priority (Fixed):**
- Priority 1: Check sprint-status.yaml for last completed epic
- Priority 2: Ask user directly
- Priority 3: Scan stories folder (last resort)

**New Capabilities:**
- Deep story analysis: Extract dev notes, mistakes, review feedback, lessons learned
- Previous retro integration: Track action items, verify lessons applied
- Significant change detection: Alert when discoveries require epic updates
- Intent-based facilitation: Natural conversation vs scripted phrases
- Party mode protocol: Clear speaker identification (Name (Role): dialogue)
- Team dynamics: Drama, disagreements, diverse perspectives, authentic conflict

**Structure:**
- 12 whole-number steps (no decimals)
- Highly interactive with constant user engagement
- Cross-references previous retro for accountability
- Synthesizes patterns across all stories
- Detects architectural assumption changes

## Documentation

**Created:**
- `docs/document-sharding-guide.md` - Comprehensive 300+ line guide
  - What is sharding, when to use it (token thresholds)
  - How sharding works (discovery system, loading strategies)
  - Using shard-doc tool
  - Full Load vs Selective Load patterns
  - Complete examples and troubleshooting
  - Custom workflow integration patterns

**Updated:**
- `README.md` - Added Document Sharding feature section
- `docs/index.md` - Added under Advanced Topics → Optimization
- `src/modules/bmm/workflows/README.md` - Added sharding section with usage
- `src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/workflow-creation-guide.md` - Added complete implementation patterns for workflow builders

**Documentation levels:**
1. Overview (README.md) - Quick feature highlight
2. User guide (BMM workflows README) - Practical usage
3. Reference (document-sharding-guide.md) - Complete details
4. Builder guide (workflow-creation-guide.md) - Implementation patterns

## Efficiency Gains

**Example: 10-Epic Project**

Before sharding:
- epic-tech-context for Epic 3: Load all 10 epics (~50k tokens)
- create-story for Epic 3: Load all 10 epics (~50k tokens)
- story-context for Epic 3: Load all 10 epics (~50k tokens)

After sharding with selective load:
- epic-tech-context for Epic 3: Load Epic 3 only (~5k tokens) = 90% reduction
- create-story for Epic 3: Load Epic 3 only (~5k tokens) = 90% reduction
- story-context for Epic 3: Load Epic 3 only (~5k tokens) = 90% reduction

## Breaking Changes

None - fully backward compatible. Workflows work with existing whole documents.

## Files Changed

**Workflows Updated (25 files):**
- 7 Phase 1-3 workflows: Added full load sharding support
- 5 Phase 4 workflows: Added selective load sharding support
- 1 retrospective workflow: Complete overhaul with sharding support

**Documentation (5 files):**
- Created: document-sharding-guide.md
- Updated: README.md, docs/index.md, BMM workflows README, BMB workflow-creation-guide
- Removed: Old conversion report (obsolete)

## Future Extensibility

- BMB workflows now aware of sharding patterns
- Custom modules can easily implement sharding support
- Standard patterns documented for consistency
- No need to explain concept in future development

8376ca0ba2 fix: add CommonMark-compliant markdown formatting rules (#830)
* fix: add CommonMark-compliant markdown formatting rules to workflow

Problem:
--------
BMAD generates markdown that violates CommonMark specification by omitting
required blank lines around lists, tables, and code blocks. While GitHub's
renderer (GFM) handles this gracefully, strict parsers like Mac Markdown.app
break completely, rendering lists as plain text and losing document structure.

Solution:
---------
Add 6 mandatory markdown formatting rules to workflow.xml (line 73) that
enforce proper spacing and consistency:

1. ALWAYS add blank line before and after bullet lists
2. ALWAYS add blank line before and after numbered lists
3. ALWAYS add blank line before and after tables
4. ALWAYS add blank line before and after code blocks
5. Use - for bullets consistently (not * or +)
6. Use language identifier for code fences

Impact:
-------
- Makes BMAD output CommonMark compliant
- Ensures compatibility with ALL markdown parsers, not just GitHub
- Follows industry best practices for professional documentation
- Future-proofs against stricter parser implementations
- Zero content changes - only formatting improved

Testing:
--------
Comprehensive three-phase testing completed:
- Phase 1: Synthetic test validating fix mechanism
- Phase 2: Fresh install end-to-end test (API Gateway project)
- Phase 3: GitHub validation with visual proof

Results: 1,112 lines of formatting improvements, 0 content changes,
100% CommonMark compliance achieved.

Test Evidence:
--------------
Complete test repository with before/after comparison, Mac Markdown.app
screenshot proving the issue, and comprehensive documentation:

913ec47123 fix: CSV column mismatch when upgrading manifest schemas
When preserving CSV rows from existing manifest files during module updates,
rows from older schema versions (without the 'standalone' column) were being
added to CSVs with new schema headers, causing "Invalid Record Length" errors
during parsing.

Added schema upgrade logic to detect old column structure and upgrade preserved
rows by adding missing columns with appropriate default values. This ensures all
CSV rows match the header column count, fixing installation errors.

Fixes column count mismatch in:
- workflow-manifest.csv (added standalone column)
- task-manifest.csv (added standalone column)
- tool-manifest.csv (added standalone column)
- agent-manifest.csv (schema validation for future-proofing)

8220c819e6 Add Opencode IDE installer (#820)
- Added docs/ide-info/opencode.md
- Added tool/cli/installers/lib/ide/opencode.js
- Modified tools/installers/lib/ide/core/detector.js to include
detection for opencode command dir
- Modified tools/cli/platform-codes.yaml to include opencode config
- Modified tools/cli/installers/lib/ide/workflow-command-template.md to
include frontmatter with description as opencode requires this for
commands and adding it to the template by default does not seem to
impact other IDEs
- Modified src/modules/bmm/workflows/workflow-status/workflow.yaml
description so that it properly escapes quotes when interpolated in the
teplate

60475ac6f8 feat(tools/cli): Refactor Qwen IDE configuration logic to support modular command structure (#762)
- Unify BMad directory name from 'BMad' to lowercase 'bmad'
- Use shared utility functions [getAgentsFromBmad] and [getTasksFromBmad] to fetch agents and tasks
- Create independent subdirectory structures (agents, tasks) for each module
- Update file writing paths to store TOML files by module classification
- Remove legacy QWEN.md merged documentation generation logic
- Add TOML metadata header support (not available in previous versions)
- Clean up old version configuration directories (including uppercase BMad and bmad-method)

69d1f75435 fix: remove empty tasks directories from Claude Code installer (#776)
Previously, the installer created empty tasks/ directories under
.claude/commands/bmad/{module}/ and attempted to copy task files.
Since getTasksFromDir() filters for .md files only and all actual
tasks are .xml files, these directories remained empty.

Tasks are utility files referenced by agents via exec attributes
(e.g., exec="{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml") and
should remain in the bmad/ directory - they are not slash commands.

Changes:
- Removed tasks directory creation in module setup
- Removed tasks copying logic (15 lines)
- Removed taskCount from console output
- Removed tasks property from return value
- Removed unused getTasksFromBmad and getTasksFromDir imports
- Updated comment to clarify agents-only installation

Verified: No tasks/ directories created in .claude/commands/bmad/
while task files remain accessible in bmad/core/tasks/

31666c1f0f feat: add agent schema validation with comprehensive testing (#774)
Introduce automated validation for agent YAML files using Zod to ensure
schema compliance across all agent definitions. This feature validates
17 agent files across core and module directories, catching structural
errors and maintaining consistency.

Schema Validation (tools/schema/agent.js):
- Zod-based schema validating metadata, persona, menu, prompts, and critical actions
- Module-aware validation: module field required for src/modules/**/agents/,
  optional for src/core/agents/
- Enforces kebab-case unique triggers and at least one command target per menu item
- Validates persona.principles as array (not string)
- Comprehensive refinements for data integrity

CLI Validator (tools/validate-agent-schema.js):
- Scans src/{core,modules/*}/agents/*.agent.yaml
- Parses with js-yaml and validates using Zod schema
- Reports detailed errors with file paths and field paths
- Exits 1 on failures, 0 on success
- Accepts optional project_root parameter for testing

Testing (679 lines across 3 test files):
- test/test-cli-integration.sh: CLI behavior and error handling tests
- test/unit-test-schema.js: Direct schema validation unit tests
- test/test-agent-schema.js: Comprehensive fixture-based tests
- 50 test fixtures covering valid and invalid scenarios
- ESLint configured to support CommonJS test files
- Prettier configured to ignore intentionally broken fixtures

CI Integration (.github/workflows/lint.yaml):
- Renamed from format-check.yaml to lint.yaml
- Added schema-validation job running npm run validate:schemas
- Runs in parallel with prettier and eslint jobs
- Validates on all pull requests

Data Cleanup:
- Fixed src/core/agents/bmad-master.agent.yaml: converted persona.principles
  from string to array format

Documentation:
- Updated schema-classification.md with validation section
- Documents validator usage, enforcement rules, and CI integration

# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
## Our Pledge
We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
and orientation.
We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
## Our Standards
Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
community include:
* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
and learning from the experience
* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
overall community
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
advances of any kind
* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
* Public or private harassment
* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
address, without their explicit permission
* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
professional setting
## Enforcement Responsibilities
Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
or harmful.
Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
decisions when appropriate.
## Scope
This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
representative at an online or offline event.
## Enforcement
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
the official BMAD Discord server (<https://discord.com/invite/gk8jAdXWmj>) - DM a moderator or flag a post.
All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
reporter of any incident.
## Enforcement Guidelines
Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
### 1. Correction
**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
### 2. Warning
**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
of actions.
**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
permanent ban.
### 3. Temporary Ban
**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
sustained inappropriate behavior.
**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
### 4. Permanent Ban
**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
the community.

Community Impact Guidelines were inspired by [Mozilla's code of conduct

## Examples
<details>
<summary>Click to see a GOOD example</summary>
### Idea: Add search functionality to customer dashboard
**P**roblem:
Customers can't find their past orders quickly. They have to scroll through pages of orders to find what they're looking for, leading to 15+ support tickets per week.
**A**udience:
All 5,000+ active customers are affected. Support team spends ~10 hours/week helping customers find orders.
**S**olution:
Add a search bar that filters by order number, date range, and product name. Success = 50% reduction in order-finding support tickets within 2 weeks of launch.
**S**ize:
- [x] **M** - 3-5 days

<summary>Click to see a POOR example</summary>
### Idea: Make the app better
**P**roblem:
The app needs improvements and updates.
**A**udience:
Users
**S**olution:
Fix issues and add features.
**S**ize:
- [ ] Unknown
_Why this is poor: Too vague, no specific problem identified, no measurable success criteria, unclear scope_
</details>****
---
## Tips for Success
1. **Be specific** - Vague problems lead to vague solutions
2. **Quantify when possible** - Numbers help us prioritize (e.g., "20 customers asked for this" vs "customers want this")
3. **One idea per submission** - If you have multiple ideas, submit multiple templates
4. **Success metrics matter** - How will we know this worked?
5. **Honest sizing** - Better to overestimate than underestimate

## Our Philosophy
### BMad Core™: Universal Foundation
BMad strengthens human-AI collaboration through specialized agents and guided workflows. Every contribution should answer: **"Does this make humans and AI better together?"**
BMad Core empowers humans and AI agents working together in true partnership across any domain through our **C.O.R.E. Framework** (Collaboration Optimized Reflection Engine):
- **Collaboration**: Human-AI partnership where both contribute unique strengths
- **Optimized**: The collaborative process refined for maximum effectiveness
- **Reflection**: Guided thinking that helps discover better solutions and insights
- **Engine**: The powerful framework that orchestrates specialized agents and workflows
### BMad Method™: Agile AI-Driven Development
The BMad Method is the flagship bmad module for agile AI-driven software development. It emphasizes thorough planning and solid architectural foundations to provide detailed context for developer agents, mirroring real-world agile best practices.
### Core Principles
**Partnership Over Automation** - AI agents act as expert coaches, mentors, and collaborators who amplify human capability rather than replace it.
**Bidirectional Guidance** - Agents guide users through structured workflows while users push agents with advanced prompting. Both sides actively work to extract better information from each other.
**Systems of Workflows** - BMad Core builds comprehensive systems of guided workflows with specialized agent teams for any domain.
**Tool-Agnostic Foundation** - BMad Core remains tool-agnostic, providing stable, extensible groundwork that adapts to any domain.
## What Makes a Good Contribution?
Every contribution should strengthen human-AI collaboration. Ask yourself: **"Does this make humans and AI better together?"**
**✅ Contributions that align:**
- Enhance universal collaboration patterns
- Improve agent personas and workflows
- Strengthen planning and context continuity
- Increase cross-domain accessibility
- Add domain-specific modules leveraging BMad Core
**❌ What detracts from our mission:**
**✅ What we welcome:**
- Enhanced collaboration patterns and workflows
- Improved agent personas and prompts
- Domain-specific modules leveraging BMad Core
- Better planning and context continuity
**❌ What doesn't fit:**
- Purely automated solutions that sideline humans
- Tools that don't improve the partnership
- Complexity that creates barriers to adoption
- Features that fragment BMad Core's foundation
## Before You Contribute
---
### Reporting Bugs
## Reporting Issues
1. **Check existing issues** first to avoid duplicates
2. **Consider discussing in Discord** (#bugs-issues channel) for quick help
3. **Use the bug report template** when creating a new issue - it guides you through providing:
- Clear bug description
- Steps to reproduce
- Expected vs actual behavior
- Model/IDE/BMad version details
- Screenshots or links if applicable
4. **Indicate if you're working on a fix** to avoid duplicate efforts
**ALL bug reports and feature requests MUST go through GitHub Issues.**
### Suggesting Features or New Modules
### Before Creating an Issue
1. **Discuss first in Discord** (#general-dev channel) - the feature request template asks if you've done this
2. **Check existing issues and discussions** to avoid duplicates
3. **Use the feature request template** when creating an issue
4. **Be specific** about why this feature would benefit the BMad community and strengthen human-AI collaboration
1. **Search existing issues** — Use the GitHub issue search to check if your bug or feature has already been reported
2. **Search closed issues** — Your issue may have been fixed or addressed previously
3. **Check discussions** — Some conversations happen in [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/discussions)
### Before Starting Work
### Bug Reports
After searching, if the bug is unreported, use the [bug report template](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/issues/new?template=bug_report.md) and include:
- Clear description of the problem
- Steps to reproduce
- Expected vs actual behavior
- Your environment (model, IDE, BMad version)
- Screenshots or error messages if applicable
### Feature Requests
After searching, use the [feature request template](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/issues/new?template=feature_request.md) and explain:
- What the feature is
- Why it would benefit the BMad community
- How it strengthens human-AI collaboration
**For community modules**, review [TRADEMARK.md](TRADEMARK.md) for proper naming conventions (e.g., "My Module (BMad Community Module)").
---
## Before Starting Work
⚠️ **Required before submitting PRs:**
1. **For bugs**: Check if an issue exists (create one using the bug template if not)
2. **For features**: Discuss in Discord (#general-dev) AND create a feature request issue
3. **For large changes**: Always open an issue first to discuss alignment
| Work Type | Requirement |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Bug fix | An open issue (create one if it doesn't exist) |
| Feature | An open feature request issue |
| Large changes | Discussion via issue first |
Please propose small, granular changes! For large or significant changes, discuss in Discord and open an issue first. This prevents wasted effort on PRs that may not align with planned changes.
**Why?** This prevents wasted effort on work that may not align with project direction.
---
## Pull Request Guidelines
### Which Branch?
### Target Branch
**Submit to `next` branch** (most contributions):
Submit PRs to the `main` branch.
- ✨ New features or agents
- 🎨 Enhancements to existing features
- 📚 Documentation updates
- ♻️ Code refactoring
- ⚡ Performance improvements
- 🧪 New tests
- 🎁 New bmad modules
### PR Size
**Submit to `main` branch** (critical only):
- **Ideal**: 200-400 lines of code changes
- **Maximum**: 800 lines (excluding generated files)
- **One feature/fix per PR**
- 🚨 Critical bug fixes that break basic functionality
- 🔒 Security patches
- 📚 Fixing dangerously incorrect documentation
- 🐛 Bugs preventing installation or basic usage
If your change exceeds 800 lines, break it into smaller PRs that can be reviewed independently.
**When in doubt, submit to `next`**. We'd rather test changes thoroughly before they hit stable.
### New to Pull Requests?
### PR Size Guidelines
- **Ideal PR size**: 200-400 lines of code changes
- **Maximum PR size**: 800 lines (excluding generated files)
- **One feature/fix per PR**: Each PR should address a single issue or add one feature
- **If your change is larger**: Break it into multiple smaller PRs that can be reviewed independently
- **Related changes**: Even related changes should be separate PRs if they deliver independent value
### Breaking Down Large PRs
If your change exceeds 800 lines, use this checklist to split it:
- [ ] Can I separate the refactoring from the feature implementation?
- [ ] Can I introduce the new API/interface in one PR and implementation in another?
- [ ] Can I split by file or module?
- [ ] Can I create a base PR with shared utilities first?
- [ ] Can I separate test additions from implementation?
- [ ] Even if changes are related, can they deliver value independently?
- [ ] Can these changes be merged in any order without breaking things?
Example breakdown:
1. PR #1: Add utility functions and types (100 lines)
2. PR #2: Refactor existing code to use utilities (200 lines)
3. PR #3: Implement new feature using refactored code (300 lines)
4. PR #4: Add comprehensive tests (200 lines)
**Note**: PRs #1 and #4 could be submitted simultaneously since they deliver independent value.
### Pull Request Process
#### New to Pull Requests?
If you're new to GitHub or pull requests, here's a quick guide:
1. **Fork the repository** - Click the "Fork" button on GitHub to create your own copy
2. **Clone your fork** - `git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/bmad-method.git`
3. **Create a new branch** - Never work on `main` directly!
```bash
git checkout -b fix/description
# or
git checkout -b feature/description
```
4. **Make your changes** - Edit files, keeping changes small and focused
5. **Commit your changes** - Use clear, descriptive commit messages
```bash
git add .
git commit -m "fix: correct typo in README"
```
6. **Push to your fork** - `git push origin fix/description`
7. **Create the Pull Request** - Go to your fork on GitHub and click "Compare & pull request"
1. **Fork** the repository
2. **Clone** your fork: `git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/bmad-method.git`
3. **Create a branch**: `git checkout -b fix/description` or `git checkout -b feature/description`
4. **Make changes** — keep them focused
5. **Commit**: `git commit -m "fix: correct typo in README"`
6. **Push**: `git push origin fix/description`
7. **Open PR** from your fork on GitHub
### PR Description Template
Keep your PR description concise and focused. Use this template:
```markdown
## What
[1-2 sentences describing WHAT changed]
## Why
[1-2 sentences explaining WHY this change is needed]
Fixes #[issue number] (if applicable)
Fixes #[issue number]
## How
## [2-3 bullets listing HOW you implemented it]
-
- [2-3 bullets listing HOW you implemented it]
-
## Testing
[1-2 sentences on how you tested this]
```
**Maximum PR description length: 200 words** (excluding code examples if needed)
**Keep it under 200 words.**
### Good vs Bad PR Descriptions
### Commit Messages
❌ **Bad Example:**
> This revolutionary PR introduces a paradigm-shifting enhancement to the system's architecture by implementing a state-of-the-art solution that leverages cutting-edge methodologies to optimize performance metrics...
✅ **Good Example:**
> **What:** Added validation for agent dependency resolution
> **Why:** Build was failing silently when agents had circular dependencies
> **How:**
>
> - Added cycle detection in dependency-resolver.js
> - Throws clear error with dependency chain
> **Testing:** Tested with circular deps between 3 agents
### Commit Message Convention
Use conventional commits format:
Use conventional commits:
- `feat:` New feature
- `fix:` Bug fix
- `docs:` Documentation only
- `refactor:` Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
- `test:` Adding missing tests
- `chore:` Changes to build process or auxiliary tools
- `refactor:` Code change (no bug/feature)
- `test:` Adding tests
- `chore:` Build/tools changes
Keep commit messages under 72 characters.
### Atomic Commits
Each commit should represent one logical change:
- **Do:** One bug fix per commit
- **Do:** One feature addition per commit
- **Don't:** Mix refactoring with bug fixes
- **Don't:** Combine unrelated changes
## What Makes a Good Pull Request?
✅ **Good PRs:**
- Change one thing at a time
- Have clear, descriptive titles
- Explain what and why in the description
- Include only the files that need to change
- Reference related issue numbers
❌ **Avoid:**
- Changing formatting of entire files
- Multiple unrelated changes in one PR
- Copying your entire project/repo into the PR
- Changes without explanation
- Working directly on `main` branch
## Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. **Don't reformat entire files** - only change what's necessary
2. **Don't include unrelated changes** - stick to one fix/feature per PR
3. **Don't paste code in issues** - create a proper PR instead
4. **Don't submit your whole project** - contribute specific improvements
## Code Style
- Follow the existing code style and conventions
- Write clear comments for complex logic
- Keep dev agents lean - they need context for coding, not documentation
- Web/planning agents can be larger with more complex tasks
- Everything is natural language (markdown) - no code in core framework
- Use bmad modules for domain-specific features

## 🚀 Critical: Understanding BMad Method v6a Workflow
**Breakthrough Method of Agile AI Driven Development** — An AI-driven agile development framework with 21 specialized agents, 50+ guided workflows, and scale-adaptive intelligence that adjusts from bug fixes to enterprise systems.
**IMPORTANT: Before using this framework, you MUST read the [BMM v6 Workflows Guide](./src/modules/bmm/workflows/README.md).** This document is fundamental to understanding how to use v6 of the BMad Method and explains the revolutionary v6a workflow system with its four phases: Analysis, Planning, Solutioning, and Implementation.
**100% free and open source.** No paywalls. No gated content. No gated Discord. We believe in empowering everyone, not just those who can pay.
**[Subscribe to BMadCode on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@BMadCode?sub_confirmation=1)** and **[Join our amazing, active Discord Community](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj)**
## Why BMad?
**If you find this project helpful or useful, please give it a star in the upper right-hand corner!** It helps others discover BMad-CORE and you will be notified of updates!
Traditional AI tools do the thinking for you, producing average results. BMad agents and facilitated workflow act as expert collaborators who guide you through a structured process to bring out your best thinking in partnership with the AI.
## The Universal Human-AI Collaboration Platform
- **AI Intelligent Help**: Brand new for beta - AI assisted help will guide you from the beginning to the end - just ask for `/bmad-help` after you have installed BMad to your project
- **Scale-Domain-Adaptive**: Automatically adjusts planning depth and needs based on project complexity, domain and type - a SaaS Mobile Dating App has different planning needs from a diagnostic medical system, BMad adapts and helps you along the way
- **Structured Workflows**: Grounded in agile best practices across analysis, planning, architecture, and implementation
- **Specialized Agents**: 12+ domain experts (PM, Architect, Developer, UX, Scrum Master, and more)
- **Party Mode**: Bring multiple agent personas into one session to plan, troubleshoot, or discuss your project collaboratively, multiple perspectives with maximum fun
- **Complete Lifecycle**: From brainstorming to deployment, BMad is there with you every step of the way
📋 **[View v6 Alpha Open Items & Roadmap](./v6-open-items.md)** - Track what's being worked on and what's coming next!
## Quick Start
### ⚠️ Important Alpha Notes
**Prerequisites**: [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20+
**Note 0 - Frequent Updates:** Updates to the branch will be frequent. When pulling new updates, it's best to delete your node_modules folder and run `npm install` to ensure you have the latest package dependencies.
```bash
npx bmad-method install
```
**Note 1 - Alpha Stability:** ALPHA is potentially an unstable release that could drastically change. While we hope that isn't the case, your testing during this time is much appreciated. Please help us out by filing issues or reaching out in Discord to discuss.
Follow the installer prompts, then open your AI IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) in the project folder.
**Note 2 - Work in Progress:** ALPHA is not complete - there are still many small and big features, polish, doc improvements, and more agents and workflows coming ahead of the beta release!
> **Not sure what to do?** Run `/bmad-help` — it tells you exactly what's next and what's optional. You can also ask it questions like:
**Note 3 - IDE Required:** ALPHA Web Bundles and Agents are not fully working yet - you will need to use a good quality IDE to test many features, especially with the BMad Method module. However, the new agent builder and standalone agent feature can work great with weaker models - this will still evolve over the coming weeks.
- `/bmad-help How should I build a web app for my TShirt Business that can scale to millions?`
- `/bmad-help I just finished the architecture, I am not sure what to do next`
**Note 4 - Contributing:** If you would like to contribute a PR, make sure you are creating your PR against the Alpha Branch and not Main.
And the amazing thing is BMad Help evolves depending on what modules you install also!
- `/bmad-help Im interested in really exploring creative ways to demo BMad at work, what do you recommend to help plan a great slide deck and compelling narrative?`, and if you have the Creative Intelligence Suite installed, it will offer you different or complimentary advice than if you just have BMad Method Module installed!
## Alpha Installation and Testing
The workflows below show the fastest path to working code. You can also load agents directly for a more structured process, extensive planning, or to learn about agile development practices — the agents guide you with menus, explanations, and elicitation at each step.
**Prerequisites**: [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20+ required
### Simple Path (Quick Flow)
### Option A
Bug fixes, small features, clear scope — 3 commands - 1 Optional Agent:
Thank you Lum for the suggestion - here is a one-shot instruction to clone just the alpha branch and get started:
1. `/quick-spec` — analyzes your codebase and produces a tech-spec with stories
2. `/dev-story` — implements each story
3. `/code-review` — validates quality
`git clone --branch v6-alpha --single-branch https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD` and then cd into this directory and run `npm install`.
### Full Planning Path (BMad Method)
### Option B
Products, platforms, complex features — structured planning then build:
Here are the more detailed step-by-step instructions:
1. `/product-brief` — define problem, users, and MVP scope
2. `/create-prd` — full requirements with personas, metrics, and risks
3. `/create-architecture` — technical decisions and system design
4. `/create-epics-and-stories` — break work into prioritized stories
5. `/sprint-planning` — initialize sprint tracking
6. **Repeat per story:** `/create-story``/dev-story``/code-review`
Clone the repo with either:
Every step tells you what's next. Optional phases (brainstorming, research, UX design) are available when you need them — ask `/bmad-help` anytime. For a detailed walkthrough, see the [Getting Started Tutorial](http://docs.bmad-method.org/tutorials/getting-started/).
- `gh repo clone bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD`
- `git clone https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD.git`
- `git@github.com:bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD.git`
and then cd into the BMAD-METHOD folder.
## Modules
You will then need to change to the branch as that will have cloned main, so type:
- `git checkout v6-alpha`
- type `git status` and you should see:
`On branch v6-alpha. Your branch is up to date with 'origin/v6-alpha'.`
BMad Method extends with official modules for specialized domains. Modules are available during installation and can be added to your project at any time. After the V6 beta period these will also be available as Plugins and Granular Skills.
### Node Modules install
| Module | GitHub | NPM | Purpose |
| ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **BMad Method (BMM)** | [bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD) | [bmad-method](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bmad-method) | Core framework with 34+ workflows across 4 development phases |
| **BMad Builder (BMB)** | [bmad-code-org/bmad-builder](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/bmad-builder) | [bmad-builder](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bmad-builder) | Create custom BMad agents, workflows, and domain-specific modules |
| **Game Dev Studio (BMGD)** | [bmad-code-org/bmad-module-game-dev-studio](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/bmad-module-game-dev-studio) | [bmad-game-dev-studio](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bmad-game-dev-studio) | Game development workflows for Unity, Unreal, and Godot |
| **Creative Intelligence Suite (CIS)** | [bmad-code-org/bmad-module-creative-intelligence-suite](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/bmad-module-creative-intelligence-suite) | [bmad-creative-intelligence-suite](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bmad-creative-intelligence-suite) | Innovation, brainstorming, design thinking, and problem-solving |
Now you must install the node_modules with `npm install` - once complete, you should see you have a `node_modules` folder at the root of your project. (BMAD-METHOD/node_modules)
* More modules are coming in the next 2 weeks from BMad Official, and a community marketplace for the installer also will be coming with the final V6 release!
### Install to your new or existing project folder
## Documentation
Now you can run `npm run install:bmad` and follow the installer questions.
**[Full Documentation](http://docs.bmad-method.org)** — Tutorials, how-to guides, concepts, and reference
NOTE: One of the first questions will ask for a destination - do not accept the default, you want to enter the full path to a new or existing folder of where your project is or will be. If you choose a net new folder, you will have to confirm you want the installer to create the directory for you.
- [Getting Started Tutorial](http://docs.bmad-method.org/tutorials/getting-started/)
- [Upgrading from Previous Versions](http://docs.bmad-method.org/how-to/upgrade-to-v6/)
The Core Module will always be installed. The default initial module selection will be BMM for all the core BMad Method functionality and flow from brainstorming through software development.
### For v4 Users
**Note on installation:** All installs now go to a single folder called `bmad` instead of multiple folders. When you install a module, you may still see folders other than the one you selected in the destination/bmad folder.

This is intentional and not a bug - it will copy over to those other folders only the minimum that is needed because it is shared across the modules. For example, during Alpha to test this feature, BMM relies on the brainstorming feature of the CIS and some items from CORE - so even if you only select BMM, you will still see bmad/core and bmad/cis along with bmad/bmm.

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

# Convert Legacy Workflow
## Overview
The Convert Legacy workflow is a comprehensive migration tool that converts BMAD v4 items (agents, workflows, modules) to v5 compliant format with proper structure and conventions. It bridges the gap between legacy BMAD implementations and the modern v5 architecture, ensuring seamless migration while preserving functionality and improving structure.
## Key Features
- **Multi-Format Detection** - Automatically identifies v4 agents, workflows, tasks, templates, and modules
- **Intelligent Conversion** - Smart mapping from v4 patterns to v5 equivalents with structural improvements
- **Sub-Workflow Integration** - Leverages create-agent, create-workflow, and create-module workflows for quality output
- **Structure Modernization** - Converts YAML-based agents to XML, templates to workflows, tasks to structured workflows
- **Path Normalization** - Updates all references to use proper v5 path conventions
- **Validation System** - Comprehensive validation of converted items before finalization
- **Migration Reporting** - Detailed conversion reports with locations and manual adjustment notes
## Usage
### Basic Invocation
```bash
workflow convert-legacy
```
### With Legacy File Input
```bash
# Convert a specific v4 item
workflow convert-legacy --input /path/to/legacy-agent.md
```
### With Legacy Module
```bash
# Convert an entire v4 module structure
workflow convert-legacy --input /path/to/legacy-module/
```
### Configuration
The workflow uses standard BMB configuration:
- **output_folder**: Where converted items will be placed
- **user_name**: Author information for converted items
- **conversion_mappings**: v4-to-v5 pattern mappings (optional)
## Workflow Structure
### Files Included
```
convert-legacy/
├── workflow.yaml # Configuration and metadata
├── instructions.md # Step-by-step conversion guide
├── checklist.md # Validation criteria
└── README.md # This file
```
## Workflow Process
### Phase 1: Legacy Analysis (Steps 1-3)
**Item Identification and Loading**
- Accepts file path or directory from user
- Loads complete file/folder structure for analysis
- Automatically detects item type based on content patterns:
- **Agents**: Contains `<agent>` or `<prompt>` XML tags
- **Workflows**: Contains workflow YAML or instruction patterns
- **Modules**: Contains multiple organized agents/workflows
- **Tasks**: Contains `<task>` XML tags
- **Templates**: Contains YAML-based document generators
**Legacy Structure Analysis**
- Parses v4 structure and extracts key components
- Maps v4 agent metadata (name, id, title, icon, persona)
- Analyzes v4 template sections and elicitation patterns
- Identifies task workflows and decision trees
- Catalogs dependencies and file references
**Target Module Selection**
- Prompts for target module (bmm, bmb, cis, custom)
- Determines proper installation paths using v5 conventions
- Shows target location for user confirmation
- Ensures all paths use `{project-root}/bmad/` format
### Phase 2: Conversion Strategy (Step 4)
**Strategy Selection Based on Item Type**
- **Simple Agents**: Direct XML conversion with metadata mapping
- **Complex Agents**: Workflow-assisted creation using create-agent
- **Templates**: Template-to-workflow conversion with proper structure
- **Tasks**: Task-to-workflow conversion with step mapping
- **Modules**: Full module creation using create-module workflow
**Workflow Type Determination**
- Analyzes legacy items to determine v5 workflow type:
- **Document Workflow**: Generates documents with templates
- **Action Workflow**: Performs actions without output documents
- **Interactive Workflow**: Guides user interaction sessions
- **Meta-Workflow**: Coordinates other workflows
### Phase 3: Conversion Execution (Steps 5a-5e)
**Direct Agent Conversion (5a)**
- Transforms v4 YAML agent format to v5 XML structure
- Maps persona blocks (role, style, identity, principles)
- Converts commands list to v5 `<cmds>` format
- Updates task references to workflow invocations
- Normalizes all paths to v5 conventions
**Workflow-Assisted Creation (5b-5e)**
- Extracts key information from legacy items
- Invokes appropriate sub-workflows:
- `create-agent` for complex agent creation
- `create-workflow` for template/task conversion
- `create-module` for full module migration
- Ensures proper v5 structure and conventions
**Template-to-Workflow Conversion (5c)**
- Converts YAML template sections to workflow steps
- Maps `elicit: true` flags to `<invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml</invoke-task>` tags
- Transforms conditional sections to flow control
- Creates proper template.md from content structure
- Integrates v4 create-doc.md task patterns
**Task-to-Workflow Conversion (5e)**
- Analyzes task purpose to determine workflow type
- Extracts step-by-step instructions to workflow steps
- Converts decision trees to flow control tags
- Maps 1-9 elicitation menus to v5 elicitation patterns
- Preserves execution logic and critical notices
### Phase 4: Validation and Finalization (Steps 6-8)
**Comprehensive Validation**
- Validates XML structure for agents
- Checks YAML syntax for workflows
- Verifies template variable consistency
- Ensures proper file structure and naming
**Migration Reporting**
- Generates detailed conversion report
- Documents original and new locations
- Notes manual adjustments needed
- Provides warnings and recommendations
**Cleanup and Archival**
- Optional archival of original v4 files
- Final location confirmation
- Post-conversion instructions and next steps
## Output
### Generated Files
- **Converted Items**: Proper v5 format in target module locations
- **Migration Report**: Detailed conversion documentation
- **Validation Results**: Quality assurance confirmation
### Output Structure
Converted items follow v5 conventions:
1. **Agents** - XML format with proper persona and command structure
2. **Workflows** - Complete workflow folders with yaml, instructions, and templates
3. **Modules** - Full module structure with installation infrastructure
4. **Documentation** - Updated paths, references, and metadata
## Requirements
- **Legacy v4 Items** - Source files or directories to convert
- **Target Module Access** - Write permissions to target module directories
- **Sub-Workflow Availability** - create-agent, create-workflow, create-module workflows accessible
- **Conversion Mappings** (optional) - v4-to-v5 pattern mappings for complex conversions
## Best Practices
### Before Starting
1. **Backup Legacy Items** - Create copies of original v4 files before conversion
2. **Review Target Module** - Understand target module structure and conventions
3. **Plan Module Organization** - Decide where converted items should logically fit
### During Execution
1. **Validate Item Type Detection** - Confirm automatic detection or correct manually
2. **Choose Appropriate Strategy** - Use workflow-assisted creation for complex items
3. **Review Path Mappings** - Ensure all references use proper v5 path conventions
4. **Test Incrementally** - Convert simple items first to validate process
### After Completion
1. **Validate Converted Items** - Test agents and workflows for proper functionality
2. **Review Migration Report** - Address any manual adjustments noted
3. **Update Documentation** - Ensure README and documentation reflect changes
4. **Archive Originals** - Store v4 files safely for reference if needed
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**Issue**: Item type detection fails or incorrect
- **Solution**: Manually specify item type when prompted
- **Check**: Verify file structure matches expected v4 patterns
**Issue**: Path conversion errors
- **Solution**: Ensure all references use `{project-root}/bmad/` format
- **Check**: Review conversion mappings for proper path patterns
**Issue**: Sub-workflow invocation fails
- **Solution**: Verify build workflows are available and accessible
- **Check**: Ensure target module exists and has proper permissions
**Issue**: XML or YAML syntax errors in output
- **Solution**: Review conversion mappings and adjust patterns
- **Check**: Validate converted files with appropriate parsers
## Customization
To customize this workflow:
1. **Update Conversion Mappings** - Modify v4-to-v5 pattern mappings in data/
2. **Extend Detection Logic** - Add new item type detection patterns
3. **Add Conversion Strategies** - Implement specialized conversion approaches
4. **Enhance Validation** - Add additional quality checks in validation step
## Version History
- **v1.0.0** - Initial release
- Multi-format v4 item detection and conversion
- Integration with create-agent, create-workflow, create-module
- Comprehensive path normalization
- Migration reporting and validation

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

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

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

```
### Domain-Based Naming
```xml
*brainstorm <!-- Creative ideation -->

```
### Naming Anti-Patterns
```xml
<!-- ❌ Too vague -->
<item cmd="*do">Do something</item>
<!-- ❌ Too long -->
<item cmd="*create-comprehensive-product-requirements-document-with-analysis">
<!-- ❌ No verb -->
<item cmd="*prd">Product Requirements</item>
<!-- ✅ Clear and concise -->
<item cmd="*create-prd">Create Product Requirements Document</item>
```
## Command Organization
### Standard Order
```xml
<menu>
<!-- 1. Always first -->
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
<!-- 2. Primary workflows -->
<item cmd="*create-prd" run-workflow="...">Create PRD</item>
<item cmd="*create-module" run-workflow="...">Build module</item>

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

# BMAD Agent Types Reference
## Overview
BMAD agents come in three distinct types, each designed for different use cases and complexity levels. The type determines where the agent is stored and what capabilities it has.
## Directory Structure by Type
### Standalone Agents (Simple & Expert)
Live in their own dedicated directories under `bmad/agents/`:
```
bmad/agents/
├── my-helper/ # Simple agent
│ ├── my-helper.agent.yaml # Agent definition
│ └── my-helper.md # Built XML (generated)
└── domain-expert/ # Expert agent
├── domain-expert.agent.yaml
├── domain-expert.md # Built XML
└── domain-expert-sidecar/ # Expert resources
├── memories.md # Persistent memory
├── instructions.md # Private directives
└── knowledge/ # Domain knowledge
```
### Module Agents
Part of a module system under `bmad/{module}/agents/`:
```
bmad/bmm/agents/
├── product-manager.agent.yaml
├── product-manager.md # Built XML
├── business-analyst.agent.yaml
└── business-analyst.md # Built XML
```
## Agent Types
### 1. Simple Agent
**Purpose:** Self-contained, standalone agents with embedded capabilities
**Location:** `bmad/agents/{agent-name}/`
**Characteristics:**
- All logic embedded within the agent file
- No external dependencies
- Quick to create and deploy
- Perfect for single-purpose tools
- Lives in its own directory
**Use Cases:**
- Calculator agents
- Format converters
- Simple analyzers
- Static advisors
**YAML Structure (source):**
```yaml
agent:
metadata:
name: 'Helper'
title: 'Simple Helper'
icon: '🤖'
type: 'simple'
persona:
role: 'Simple Helper Role'
identity: '...'
communication_style: '...'
principles: ['...']
menu:
- trigger: calculate
description: 'Perform calculation'
```
**XML Structure (built):**
```xml
<agent id="simple-agent" name="Helper" title="Simple Helper" icon="🤖">
<persona>
<role>Simple Helper Role</role>
<identity>...</identity>
<communication_style>...</communication_style>
<principles>...</principles>
</persona>
<embedded-data>
<!-- Optional embedded data/logic -->
</embedded-data>
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show commands</item>
<item cmd="*calculate">Perform calculation</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit</item>
</menu>
</agent>
```
### 2. Expert Agent
**Purpose:** Specialized agents with domain expertise and sidecar resources
**Location:** `bmad/agents/{agent-name}/` with sidecar directory
**Characteristics:**
- Has access to specific folders/files
- Domain-restricted operations
- Maintains specialized knowledge
- Can have memory/context files
- Includes sidecar directory for resources
**Use Cases:**
- Personal diary agent (only accesses diary folder)
- Project-specific assistant (knows project context)
- Domain expert (medical, legal, technical)
- Personal coach with history
**YAML Structure (source):**
```yaml
agent:
metadata:
name: 'Domain Expert'
title: 'Specialist'
icon: '🎯'
type: 'expert'
persona:
role: 'Domain Specialist Role'
identity: '...'
communication_style: '...'
principles: ['...']
critical_actions:
- 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md and follow ALL directives'
- 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md into permanent context'
- 'ONLY access {user-folder}/diary/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS'
menu:
- trigger: analyze
description: 'Analyze domain-specific data'
```
**XML Structure (built):**
```xml
<agent id="expert-agent" name="Domain Expert" title="Specialist" icon="🎯">
<persona>
<role>Domain Specialist Role</role>
<identity>...</identity>
<communication_style>...</communication_style>
<principles>...</principles>
</persona>
<critical-actions>
<!-- CRITICAL: Load sidecar files explicitly -->
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md and follow ALL directives</i>
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md into permanent context</i>
<i critical="MANDATORY">ONLY access {user-folder}/diary/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS</i>
</critical-actions>
<menu>...</menu>
</agent>
```
**Complete Directory Structure:**
```
bmad/agents/expert-agent/
├── expert-agent.agent.yaml # Agent YAML source
├── expert-agent.md # Built XML (generated)
└── expert-agent-sidecar/ # Sidecar resources
├── memories.md # Persistent memory
├── instructions.md # Private directives
├── knowledge/ # Domain knowledge base
│ └── README.md
└── sessions/ # Session notes
```
### 3. Module Agent
**Purpose:** Full-featured agents belonging to a module with access to workflows and resources
**Location:** `bmad/{module}/agents/`
**Characteristics:**
- Part of a BMAD module (bmm, bmb, cis)
- Access to multiple workflows
- Can invoke other tasks and agents
- Professional/enterprise grade
- Integrated with module workflows
**Use Cases:**
- Product Manager (creates PRDs, manages requirements)
- Security Engineer (threat models, security reviews)
- Test Architect (test strategies, automation)
- Business Analyst (market research, requirements)
**YAML Structure (source):**
```yaml
agent:
metadata:
name: 'John'
title: 'Product Manager'
icon: '📋'
module: 'bmm'
type: 'module'
persona:
role: 'Product Management Expert'
identity: '...'
communication_style: '...'
principles: ['...']
critical_actions:
- 'Load config from {project-root}/bmad/{module}/config.yaml'
menu:
- trigger: create-prd
workflow: '{project-root}/bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml'
description: 'Create PRD'
- trigger: validate
exec: '{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml'
description: 'Validate document'
```
**XML Structure (built):**
```xml
<agent id="bmad/bmm/agents/pm.md" name="John" title="Product Manager" icon="📋">
<persona>
<role>Product Management Expert</role>
<identity>...</identity>
<communication_style>...</communication_style>
<principles>...</principles>
</persona>
<critical-actions>
<i>Load config from {project-root}/bmad/{module}/config.yaml</i>
</critical-actions>
<menu>
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered menu</item>
<item cmd="*create-prd" run-workflow="{project-root}/bmad/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">Create PRD</item>
<item cmd="*validate" exec="{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml">Validate document</item>
<item cmd="*exit">Exit</item>
</menu>
</agent>
```
## Choosing the Right Type
### Choose Simple Agent when:
- Single, well-defined purpose
- No external data needed
- Quick utility functions
- Embedded logic is sufficient
### Choose Expert Agent when:
- Domain-specific expertise required
- Need to maintain context/memory
- Restricted to specific data/folders
- Personal or specialized use case
### Choose Module Agent when:
- Part of larger system/module
- Needs multiple workflows
- Professional/team use
- Complex multi-step processes
## Migration Path
```
Simple Agent → Expert Agent → Module Agent
```
Agents can evolve:
1. Start with Simple for proof of concept
2. Add sidecar resources to become Expert
3. Integrate with module to become Module Agent
## Best Practices
1. **Start Simple:** Begin with the simplest type that meets your needs
2. **Domain Boundaries:** Expert agents should have clear domain restrictions
3. **Module Integration:** Module agents should follow module conventions
4. **Resource Management:** Document all external resources clearly
5. **Evolution Planning:** Design with potential growth in mind

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

# Build Agent Validation Checklist (YAML Agents)
## Agent Structure Validation
### YAML Structure
- [ ] YAML parses without errors
- [ ] `agent.metadata` includes: `id`, `name`, `title`, `icon`, `module`
- [ ] `agent.persona` exists with role, identity, communication_style, and principles
- [ ] `agent.menu` exists with at least one item
### Core Components
- [ ] `metadata.id` points to final compiled path: `bmad/{{module}}/agents/{{agent}}.md`
- [ ] `metadata.module` matches the module folder (e.g., `bmm`, `bmb`, `cis`)
- [ ] Principles are an array (preferred) or string with clear values
## Persona Completeness
- [ ] Role clearly defines primary expertise area (12 lines)
- [ ] Identity includes relevant background and strengths (35 lines)
- [ ] Communication style gives concrete guidance (35 lines)
- [ ] Principles present and meaningful (no placeholders)
## Menu Validation
- [ ] Triggers do not start with `*` (auto-prefixed during build)
- [ ] Each item has a `description`
- [ ] Handlers use valid attributes (`workflow`, `exec`, `tmpl`, `data`, `action`)
- [ ] Paths use `{project-root}` or valid variables
- [ ] No duplicate triggers
## Optional Sections
- [ ] `prompts` defined when using `action: "#id"`
- [ ] `critical_actions` present if custom activation steps are needed
- [ ] Customize file (if created) located at `{project-root}/bmad/_cfg/agents/{{module}}-{{agent}}.customize.yaml`
## Build Verification
- [ ] Run compile to build `.md`: `npm run install:bmad` → "Compile Agents" (or `bmad install` → Compile)
- [ ] Confirm compiled file exists at `{project-root}/bmad/{{module}}/agents/{{agent}}.md`
## Final Quality
- [ ] Filename is kebab-case and ends with `.agent.yaml`
- [ ] Output location correctly placed in module or standalone directory
- [ ] Agent purpose and commands are clear and consistent
## Issues Found
### Critical Issues
<!-- List any issues that MUST be fixed before agent can function -->
### Warnings
<!-- List any issues that should be addressed but won't break functionality -->
### Improvements
<!-- List any optional enhancements that could improve the agent -->

# Agent Communication Styles Guide
## The Power of Personality
Agents with distinct communication styles are more memorable, engaging, and fun to work with. A good quirk makes the agent feel alive!
## Style Categories
### 🎬 Cinema and TV Inspired
**Film Noir Detective**
```
The terminal glowed like a neon sign in a rain-soaked alley. I had three suspects:
bad input validation, a race condition, and that sketchy third-party library.
My gut told me to follow the stack trace. In this business, the stack trace never lies.
```
**80s Action Movie**
```
*cracks knuckles* Listen up, code! You've been running wild for too long!
Time to bring some LAW and ORDER to this codebase! *explosion sound effect*
No bug is getting past me! I eat null pointers for BREAKFAST!
```
**Shakespearean Drama**
```
To debug, or not to debug - that is the question!
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous errors,
Or to take arms against a sea of bugs, and by opposing, end them?
```
### 🎮 Gaming and Pop Culture
**Dungeon Master**
```
*rolls dice* You encounter a wild NullPointerException! It has 15 HP and an armor class of 12.
What do you do? You can: 1) Try-catch block (defensive spell), 2) Debug (investigation check),
3) Console.log everything (barbarian rage). Choose wisely, adventurer!
```
**Speedrunner**
```
Alright chat, we're going for the any% world record refactor!
Frame-perfect optimization incoming! If we clip through this abstraction layer
we can save 3ms on every API call. LET'S GOOOO!
```
### 🌍 Cultural Archetypes
**British Butler**
```
I've taken the liberty of organizing your imports alphabetically, sir/madam.
Might I suggest a spot of refactoring with your afternoon tea?
The code coverage report is ready for your perusal at your convenience.
Very good, sir/madam.
```
**Zen Master**
```
The bug you seek is not in the code, but in the assumption.
Empty your cache, as you would empty your mind.
When the test passes, it makes no sound.
Be like water - async and flowing.
```
**Southern Hospitality**
```
Well bless your heart, looks like you've got yourself a little bug there!
Don't you worry none, we'll fix it up real nice.
Can I get you some sweet tea while we debug?
Y'all come back now if you need more help!
```
### 🔬 Professional Personas
**McKinsey Consultant**
```
Let me break this down into three key buckets.
First, we need to align on the strategic imperatives.
Second, we'll leverage best practices to drive synergies.
Third, we'll action items to move the needle. Net-net: significant value-add.
```
**Startup Founder**
```
Okay so basically we're going to disrupt the entire way you write code!
This is going to be HUGE! We're talking 10x productivity gains!
Let's move fast and break things! Well... let's move fast and fix things!
We're not just writing code, we're changing the world!
```
### 🎭 Character Quirks
**Overcaffeinated Developer**
```
OH WOW OKAY SO - *sips coffee* - WE HAVE A BUG BUT ITS FINE ITS TOTALLY FINE
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO *types at 200wpm* JUST NEED TO REFACTOR EVERYTHING
WAIT NO ACTUALLY *more coffee* I HAVE A BETTER IDEA! Have you tried... TYPESCRIPT?!
```
**Dad Joke Enthusiast**
```
Why did the developer go broke? Because he used up all his cache!
*chuckles at own joke*
Speaking of cache, let's clear yours and see if that fixes the issue.
I promise my debugging skills are better than my jokes! ...I hope!
```
### 🚀 Sci-Fi and Space
**Star Trek Officer**
```
Captain's Log, Supplemental: The anomaly in the codebase appears to be a temporal loop
in the async function. Mr. Data suggests we reverse the polarity of the promise chain.
Number One, make it so. Engage debugging protocols on my mark.
*taps combadge* Engineering, we need more processing power!
Red Alert! All hands to debugging stations!
```
**Star Trek Engineer**
```
Captain, I'm givin' her all she's got! The CPU cannae take much more!
If we push this algorithm any harder, the whole system's gonna blow!
*frantically typing* I can maybe squeeze 10% more performance if we
reroute power from the console.logs to the main execution thread!
```
### 📺 TV Drama
**Soap Opera Dramatic**
```
*turns dramatically to camera*
This function... I TRUSTED it! We had HISTORY together - three commits worth!
But now? *single tear* It's throwing exceptions behind my back!
*grabs another function* YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS BUG ALL ALONG, DIDN'T YOU?!
*dramatic music swells* I'LL NEVER IMPORT YOU AGAIN!
```
**Reality TV Confessional**
```
*whispering to camera in confessional booth*
Okay so like, that Array.sort() function? It's literally SO toxic.
It mutates IN PLACE. Who does that?! I didn't come here to deal with side effects!
*applies lip gloss* I'm forming an alliance with map() and filter().
We're voting sort() off the codebase at tonight's pull request ceremony.
```
**Reality Competition**
```
Listen up, coders! For today's challenge, you need to refactor this legacy code
in under 30 minutes! The winner gets immunity from the next code review!
*dramatic pause* BUT WAIT - there's a TWIST! You can only use VANILLA JAVASCRIPT!
*contestants gasp* The clock starts... NOW! GO GO GO!
```
## Creating Custom Styles
### Formula for Memorable Communication
1. **Choose a Core Voice** - Who is this character?
2. **Add Signature Phrases** - What do they always say?
3. **Define Speech Patterns** - How do they structure sentences?
4. **Include Quirks** - What makes them unique?
### Examples of Custom Combinations
**Cooking Show + Military**
```
ALRIGHT RECRUITS! Today we're preparing a beautiful Redux reducer!
First, we MISE EN PLACE our action types - that's French for GET YOUR CODE TOGETHER!
We're going to sauté these event handlers until they're GOLDEN BROWN!
MOVE WITH PURPOSE! SEASON WITH SEMICOLONS!
```
**Nature Documentary + Conspiracy Theorist**
```
The wild JavaScript function stalks its prey... but wait... notice how it ALWAYS
knows where the data is? That's not natural selection, folks. Someone DESIGNED it
this way. The console.logs are watching. They're ALWAYS watching.
Nature? Or intelligent debugging? You decide.
```
## Tips for Success
1. **Stay Consistent** - Once you pick a style, commit to it
2. **Don't Overdo It** - Quirks should enhance, not distract
3. **Match the Task** - Serious bugs might need serious personas
4. **Have Fun** - If you're not smiling while writing it, try again
## Quick Style Generator
Roll a d20 (or pick randomly):
1. Talks like they're narrating a nature documentary
2. Everything is a cooking metaphor
3. Constantly makes pop culture references
4. Speaks in haikus when explaining complex topics
5. Acts like they're hosting a game show
6. Paranoid about "big tech" watching
7. Overly enthusiastic about EVERYTHING
8. Talks like a medieval knight
9. Sports commentator energy
10. Speaks like a GPS navigator
11. Everything is a Star Wars reference
12. Talks like a yoga instructor
13. Old-timey radio announcer
14. Conspiracy theorist but about code
15. Motivational speaker energy
16. Talks to code like it's a pet
17. Weather forecaster style
18. Museum tour guide energy
19. Airline pilot announcements
20. Reality TV show narrator
21. Star Trek crew member (Captain/Engineer/Vulcan)
22. Soap opera dramatic protagonist
23. Reality dating show contestant
## Remember
The best agents are the ones that make you want to interact with them again.
A memorable personality turns a tool into a companion!

# Build Module Workflow
## Overview
The Build Module workflow is an interactive scaffolding system that creates complete BMAD modules with agents, workflows, tasks, and installation infrastructure. It serves as the primary tool for building new modules in the BMAD ecosystem, guiding users through the entire module creation process from concept to deployment-ready structure.
## Key Features
- **Interactive Module Planning** - Collaborative session to define module concept, scope, and architecture
- **Intelligent Scaffolding** - Automatic creation of proper directory structures and configuration files
- **Component Integration** - Seamless integration with create-agent and create-workflow workflows
- **Installation Infrastructure** - Complete installer setup with configuration templates
- **Module Brief Integration** - Can use existing module briefs as blueprints for accelerated development
- **Validation and Documentation** - Built-in validation checks and comprehensive README generation
## Usage
### Basic Invocation
```bash
workflow create-module
```
### With Module Brief Input
```bash
# If you have a module brief from the module-brief workflow
workflow create-module --input module-brief-my-module-2024-09-26.md
```
### Configuration
The workflow loads critical variables from the BMB configuration:
- **custom_module_location**: Where custom modules are created (default: `bmad/`)
- **user_name**: Module author information
- **date**: Automatic timestamp for versioning
## Workflow Structure
### Files Included
```
create-module/
├── workflow.yaml # Configuration and metadata
├── instructions.md # Step-by-step execution guide
├── checklist.md # Validation criteria
├── module-structure.md # Module architecture guide
├── installer-templates/ # Installation templates
│ ├── install-config.yaml
│ └── installer.js
└── README.md # This file
```
## Workflow Process
### Phase 1: Concept Definition (Steps 1-2)
**Module Vision and Identity**
- Define module concept, purpose, and target audience
- Establish module code (kebab-case) and friendly name
- Choose module category (Domain-Specific, Creative, Technical, Business, Personal)
- Plan component architecture with agent and workflow specifications
**Module Brief Integration**
- Automatically detects existing module briefs in output folder
- Can load and use briefs as pre-populated blueprints
- Accelerates planning when comprehensive brief exists
### Phase 2: Architecture Planning (Steps 3-4)
**Directory Structure Creation**
- Creates complete module directory hierarchy
- Sets up agent, workflow, task, template, and data folders
- Establishes installer directory with proper configuration
**Module Configuration**
- Generates main config.yaml with module metadata
- Configures component counts and references
- Sets up output and data folder specifications
### Phase 3: Component Creation (Steps 5-6)
**Interactive Component Building**
- Optional creation of first agent using create-agent workflow
- Optional creation of first workflow using create-workflow workflow
- Creates placeholders for components to be built later
**Workflow Integration**
- Seamlessly invokes sub-workflows for component creation
- Ensures proper file placement and structure
- Maintains module consistency across components
### Phase 4: Installation and Documentation (Steps 7-9)
**Installer Infrastructure**
- Creates install-module-config.yaml for deployment
- Sets up optional installer.js for complex installation logic
- Configures post-install messaging and instructions
**Comprehensive Documentation**
- Generates detailed README.md with usage examples
- Creates development roadmap for remaining components
- Provides quick commands for continued development
### Phase 5: Validation and Finalization (Step 10)
**Quality Assurance**
- Validates directory structure and configuration files
- Checks component references and path consistency
- Ensures installer configuration is deployment-ready
- Provides comprehensive module summary and next steps
## Output
### Generated Files
- **Module Directory**: Complete module structure at `{project-root}/bmad/{module_code}/`
- **Configuration Files**: config.yaml, install-module-config.yaml
- **Documentation**: README.md, TODO.md development roadmap
- **Component Placeholders**: Structured folders for agents, workflows, and tasks
### Output Structure
The workflow creates a complete module ready for development:
1. **Module Identity** - Name, code, version, and metadata
2. **Directory Structure** - Proper BMAD module hierarchy
3. **Configuration System** - Runtime and installation configs
4. **Component Framework** - Ready-to-use agent and workflow scaffolding
5. **Installation Infrastructure** - Deployment-ready installer
6. **Documentation Suite** - README, roadmap, and development guides
## Requirements
- **Module Brief** (optional but recommended) - Use module-brief workflow first for best results
- **BMAD Core Configuration** - Properly configured BMB config.yaml
- **Build Tools Access** - create-agent and create-workflow workflows must be available
## Best Practices
### Before Starting
1. **Create a Module Brief** - Run module-brief workflow for comprehensive planning
2. **Review Existing Modules** - Study similar modules in `/bmad/` for patterns and inspiration
3. **Define Clear Scope** - Have a concrete vision of what the module will accomplish
### During Execution
1. **Use Module Briefs** - Load existing briefs when prompted for accelerated development
2. **Start Simple** - Create one core agent and workflow, then expand iteratively
3. **Leverage Sub-workflows** - Use create-agent and create-workflow for quality components
4. **Validate Early** - Review generated structure before proceeding to next phases
### After Completion
1. **Follow the Roadmap** - Use generated TODO.md for systematic development
2. **Test Installation** - Validate installer with `bmad install {module_code}`
3. **Iterate Components** - Use quick commands to add agents and workflows
4. **Document Progress** - Update README.md as the module evolves
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**Issue**: Module already exists at target location
- **Solution**: Choose a different module code or remove existing module
- **Check**: Verify output folder permissions and available space
**Issue**: Sub-workflow invocation fails
- **Solution**: Ensure create-agent and create-workflow workflows are available
- **Check**: Validate workflow paths in config.yaml
**Issue**: Installation configuration invalid
- **Solution**: Review install-module-config.yaml syntax and paths
- **Check**: Ensure all referenced paths use {project-root} variables correctly
## Customization
To customize this workflow:
1. **Modify Instructions** - Update instructions.md to adjust scaffolding steps
2. **Extend Templates** - Add new installer templates in installer-templates/
3. **Update Validation** - Enhance checklist.md with additional quality checks
4. **Add Components** - Integrate additional sub-workflows for specialized components
## Version History
- **v1.0.0** - Initial release
- Interactive module scaffolding
- Component integration with create-agent and create-workflow
- Complete installation infrastructure
- Module brief integration support
## Support
For issues or questions:
- Review the workflow creation guide at `/bmad/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/workflow-creation-guide.md`
- Study module structure patterns at `module-structure.md`
- Validate output using `checklist.md`
- Consult existing modules in `/bmad/` for examples

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

# BMAD Module Structure Guide
## What is a Module?
A BMAD module is a self-contained package of agents, workflows, tasks, and resources that work together to provide specialized functionality. Think of it as an expansion pack for the BMAD Method.
## Module Architecture
### Core Structure
```
project-root/
├── bmad/{module-code}/ # Source code
│ ├── agents/ # Agent definitions
│ ├── workflows/ # Workflow folders
│ ├── tasks/ # Task files
│ ├── templates/ # Shared templates
│ ├── data/ # Static data
│ ├── config.yaml # Module config
│ └── README.md # Documentation
└── bmad/{module-code}/ # Runtime instance
├── _module-installer/ # Installation files
│ ├── install-module-config.yaml
│ ├── installer.js # Optional
│ └── assets/ # Install assets
├── config.yaml # User config
├── agents/ # Agent overrides
├── workflows/ # Workflow instances
└── data/ # User data
```
## Module Types by Complexity
### Simple Module (1-2 agents, 2-3 workflows)
Perfect for focused, single-purpose tools.
**Example: Code Review Module**
- 1 Reviewer Agent
- 2 Workflows: quick-review, deep-review
- Clear, narrow scope
### Standard Module (3-5 agents, 5-10 workflows)
Comprehensive solution for a domain.
**Example: Project Management Module**
- PM Agent, Scrum Master Agent, Analyst Agent
- Workflows: sprint-planning, retrospective, roadmap, user-stories
- Integrated component ecosystem
### Complex Module (5+ agents, 10+ workflows)
Full platform or framework.
**Example: RPG Toolkit Module**
- DM Agent, NPC Agent, Monster Agent, Loot Agent, Map Agent
- 15+ workflows for every aspect of game management
- Multiple interconnected systems
## Module Naming Conventions
### Module Code (kebab-case)
- `data-viz` - Data Visualization
- `team-collab` - Team Collaboration
- `rpg-toolkit` - RPG Toolkit
- `legal-assist` - Legal Assistant
### Module Name (Title Case)
- "Data Visualization Suite"
- "Team Collaboration Platform"
- "RPG Game Master Toolkit"
- "Legal Document Assistant"
## Component Guidelines
### Agents per Module
**Recommended Distribution:**
- **Primary Agent (1)**: The main interface/orchestrator
- **Specialist Agents (2-4)**: Domain-specific experts
- **Utility Agents (0-2)**: Helper/support functions
**Anti-patterns to Avoid:**
- Too many overlapping agents
- Agents that could be combined
- Agents without clear purpose
### Workflows per Module
**Categories:**
- **Core Workflows (2-3)**: Essential functionality
- **Feature Workflows (3-5)**: Specific capabilities
- **Utility Workflows (2-3)**: Supporting operations
- **Admin Workflows (0-2)**: Maintenance/config
**Workflow Complexity Guide:**
- Simple: 3-5 steps, single output
- Standard: 5-10 steps, multiple outputs
- Complex: 10+ steps, conditional logic, sub-workflows
### Tasks per Module
Tasks should be used for:
- Single-operation utilities
- Shared subroutines
- Quick actions that don't warrant workflows
## Module Dependencies
### Internal Dependencies
- Agents can reference module workflows
- Workflows can invoke module tasks
- Tasks can use module templates
### External Dependencies
- Reference other modules via full paths
- Declare dependencies in config.yaml
- Version compatibility notes
## Installation Infrastructure
### Required: install-module-config.yaml
```yaml
module_name: 'Module Name'
module_code: 'module-code'
install_steps:
- name: 'Create directories'
action: 'mkdir'
paths: [...]
- name: 'Copy files'
action: 'copy'
mappings: [...]
- name: 'Register module'
action: 'register'
```
### Optional: installer.js
For complex installations requiring:
- Database setup
- API configuration
- System integration
- Permission management
### Optional: External Assets
Files that get copied outside the module:
- System configurations
- User templates
- Shared resources
- Integration scripts
## Module Lifecycle
### Development Phases
1. **Planning Phase**
- Define scope and purpose
- Identify components
- Design architecture
2. **Scaffolding Phase**
- Create directory structure
- Generate configurations
- Setup installer
3. **Building Phase**
- Create agents incrementally
- Build workflows progressively
- Add tasks as needed
4. **Testing Phase**
- Test individual components
- Verify integration
- Validate installation
5. **Deployment Phase**
- Package module
- Document usage
- Distribute/share
## Best Practices
### Module Cohesion
- All components should relate to module theme
- Clear boundaries between modules
- No feature creep
### Progressive Enhancement
- Start with MVP (1 agent, 2 workflows)
- Add components based on usage
- Refactor as patterns emerge
### Documentation Standards
- Every module needs README.md
- Each agent needs purpose statement
- Workflows need clear descriptions
- Include examples and quickstart
### Naming Consistency
- Use module code prefix for uniqueness
- Consistent naming patterns within module
- Clear, descriptive names
## Example Modules
### Example 1: Personal Productivity
```
productivity/
├── agents/
│ ├── task-manager.md # GTD methodology
│ └── focus-coach.md # Pomodoro timer
├── workflows/
│ ├── daily-planning/ # Morning routine
│ ├── weekly-review/ # Week retrospective
│ └── project-setup/ # New project init
└── config.yaml
```
### Example 2: Content Creation
```
content/
├── agents/
│ ├── writer.md # Blog/article writer
│ ├── editor.md # Copy editor
│ └── seo-optimizer.md # SEO specialist
├── workflows/
│ ├── blog-post/ # Full blog creation
│ ├── social-media/ # Social content
│ ├── email-campaign/ # Email sequence
│ └── content-calendar/ # Planning
└── templates/
├── blog-template.md
└── email-template.md
```
### Example 3: DevOps Automation
```
devops/
├── agents/
│ ├── deploy-master.md # Deployment orchestrator
│ ├── monitor.md # System monitoring
│ ├── incident-responder.md # Incident management
│ └── infra-architect.md # Infrastructure design
├── workflows/
│ ├── ci-cd-setup/ # Pipeline creation
│ ├── deploy-app/ # Application deployment
│ ├── rollback/ # Emergency rollback
│ ├── health-check/ # System verification
│ └── incident-response/ # Incident handling
├── tasks/
│ ├── check-status.md # Quick status check
│ └── notify-team.md # Team notifications
└── data/
└── runbooks/ # Operational guides
```
## Module Evolution Pattern
```
Simple Module → Standard Module → Complex Module → Module Suite
(MVP) (Enhanced) (Complete) (Ecosystem)
```
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Over-engineering**: Starting too complex
2. **Under-planning**: No clear architecture
3. **Poor boundaries**: Module does too much
4. **Weak integration**: Components don't work together
5. **Missing docs**: No clear usage guide
## Success Metrics
A well-designed module has:
- ✅ Clear, focused purpose
- ✅ Cohesive components
- ✅ Smooth installation
- ✅ Comprehensive docs
- ✅ Room for growth
- ✅ Happy users!

# Build Workflow
## Overview
The Build Workflow is an interactive workflow builder that guides you through creating new BMAD workflows with proper structure, conventions, and validation. It ensures all workflows follow best practices for optimal human-AI collaboration and are fully compliant with the BMAD Core v6 workflow execution engine.
## Key Features
- **Optional Brainstorming Phase**: Creative exploration of workflow ideas before structured development
- **Comprehensive Guidance**: Step-by-step process with detailed instructions and examples
- **Template-Based**: Uses proven templates for all workflow components
- **Convention Enforcement**: Ensures adherence to BMAD workflow creation guide
- **README Generation**: Automatically creates comprehensive documentation
- **Validation Built-In**: Includes checklist generation for quality assurance
- **Type-Aware**: Adapts to document, action, interactive, autonomous, or meta-workflow types
## Usage
### Basic Invocation
```bash
workflow create-workflow
```
### Through BMad Builder Agent
```
*create-workflow
```
### What You'll Be Asked
1. **Optional**: Whether to brainstorm workflow ideas first (creative exploration phase)
2. Workflow name and target module
3. Workflow purpose and type (enhanced by brainstorming insights if used)
4. Metadata (description, author, outputs)
5. Step-by-step design (goals, variables, flow)
6. Whether to include optional components
## Workflow Structure
### Files Included
```
create-workflow/
├── workflow.yaml # Configuration and metadata
├── instructions.md # Step-by-step execution guide
├── checklist.md # Validation criteria
├── workflow-creation-guide.md # Comprehensive reference guide

└── workflow-template/ # Templates for new workflows
├── workflow.yaml

├── template.md
├── checklist.md
└── README.md
```
## Understanding Instruction Styles
One of the most important decisions when creating a workflow is choosing the **instruction style** - how the workflow guides the AI's interaction with users.
### Intent-Based vs Prescriptive Instructions
**Intent-Based (Recommended for most workflows)**
Guides the LLM with goals and principles, allowing natural conversation adaptation.
- **More flexible and conversational** - AI adapts questions to context
- **Better for complex discovery** - Requirements gathering, creative exploration
- **Quality over consistency** - Focus on deep understanding
- **Example**: `<action>Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics and needs</action>`
**Best for:**
- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements)
- Creative brainstorming and ideation
- Iterative refinement workflows
- When adaptation to context matters
- Workflows requiring nuanced understanding
**Prescriptive**
Provides exact wording for questions and structured options.
- **More controlled and predictable** - Same questions every time
- **Better for simple data collection** - Platform choices, yes/no decisions
- **Consistency over quality** - Standardized execution
- **Example**: `<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>`
**Best for:**
- Simple data collection (platform, format, binary choices)
- Compliance verification and standards
- Configuration with finite options
- Quick setup wizards
- When consistency is critical
### Best Practice: Mix Both Styles
The most effective workflows use **both styles strategically**:
```xml
<!-- Intent-based workflow with prescriptive moments -->
<step n="1" goal="Understand user vision">
<action>Explore the user's vision, uncovering creative intent and target experience</action>
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Capture basic metadata">
<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>
</step>
<step n="3" goal="Deep dive into details">
<action>Guide user to articulate their core approach and unique aspects</action>
</step>
```
**During workflow creation**, you'll be asked to choose a **primary style preference** - this sets the default approach, but you can (and should) use the other style when it makes more sense for specific steps.
## Workflow Process
### Phase 0: Optional Brainstorming (Step -1)
- **Creative Exploration**: Option to brainstorm workflow ideas before structured development
- **Design Concept Development**: Generate multiple approaches and explore different possibilities
- **Requirement Clarification**: Use brainstorming output to inform workflow purpose, type, and structure
- **Enhanced Creativity**: Leverage AI brainstorming tools for innovative workflow design
The brainstorming phase invokes the CIS brainstorming workflow to:
- Explore workflow ideas and approaches
- Clarify requirements and use cases
- Generate creative solutions for complex automation needs
- Inform the structured workflow building process
### Phase 1: Planning (Steps 0-3)
- Load workflow creation guide and conventions
- Define workflow purpose, name, and type (informed by brainstorming if used)
- Gather metadata and configuration details
- Design step structure and flow
### Phase 2: Generation (Steps 4-8)
- Create workflow.yaml with proper configuration
- Generate instructions.md with XML-structured steps
- Create template.md (for document workflows)
- Generate validation checklist
- Create supporting data files (optional)
### Phase 3: Documentation and Validation (Steps 9-11)
- Create comprehensive README.md (MANDATORY)
- Test and validate workflow structure
- Provide usage instructions and next steps
## Output
### Generated Workflow Folder
Creates a complete workflow folder at:
`{project-root}/bmad/{{target_module}}/workflows/{{workflow_name}}/`
### Files Created
**Always Created:**
- `workflow.yaml` - Configuration with paths and variables
- `README.md` - Comprehensive documentation (MANDATORY as of v6)
- `instructions.md` - Execution steps (if not template-only workflow)
**Conditionally Created:**
- `template.md` - Document structure (for document workflows)
- `checklist.md` - Validation criteria (optional but recommended)
- Supporting data files (CSV, JSON, etc. as needed)
### Output Structure
For document workflows, the README documents:
- Workflow purpose and use cases
- Usage examples with actual commands
- Input expectations
- Output structure and location
- Best practices
## Requirements
- Access to workflow creation guide
- BMAD Core v6 project structure
- Module to host the new workflow (bmm, bmb, cis, or custom)
## Best Practices
### Before Starting
1. **Consider Brainstorming**: If you're unsure about the workflow approach, use the optional brainstorming phase
2. Review the workflow creation guide to understand conventions
3. Have a clear understanding of the workflow's purpose (or be ready to explore it creatively)
4. Know which type of workflow you're creating (document, action, etc.) or be open to discovery
5. Identify any data files or references needed
### Creative Workflow Design
The create-workflow now supports a **seamless transition from creative ideation to structured implementation**:
- **"I need a workflow for something..."** → Start with brainstorming to explore possibilities
- **Brainstorm** → Generate multiple approaches and clarify requirements
- **Structured workflow** → Build the actual workflow using insights from brainstorming
- **One seamless session** → Complete the entire process from idea to implementation
### During Execution
1. Follow kebab-case naming conventions
2. Be specific with step goals and instructions
3. Use descriptive variable names (snake_case)
4. Set appropriate limits ("3-5 items maximum")
5. Include examples where helpful
### After Completion
1. Test the newly created workflow
2. Validate against the checklist
3. Ensure README is comprehensive and accurate
4. Test all file paths and variable references
## Troubleshooting
### Issue: Generated workflow won't execute
- **Solution**: Verify all file paths in workflow.yaml use proper variable substitution
- **Check**: Ensure installed_path and project-root are correctly set
### Issue: Variables not replacing in template
- **Solution**: Ensure variable names match exactly between instructions `<template-output>` tags and template `{{variables}}`
- **Check**: Use snake_case consistently
### Issue: README has placeholder text
- **Solution**: This workflow now enforces README generation - ensure Step 10 completed fully
- **Check**: No {WORKFLOW_TITLE} or similar placeholders should remain
## Customization
To modify this workflow:
1. Edit `instructions.md` to adjust the creation process
2. Update templates in `workflow-template/` to change generated files
3. Modify `workflow-creation-guide.md` to update conventions
4. Edit `checklist.md` to change validation criteria

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

<action if="user_response == 'n' or user_response == 'no'">
Skip brainstorming and proceed directly to workflow building process.
</action>
</step>
<step n="0" goal="Load and understand workflow conventions">
<action>Load the complete workflow creation guide from: {workflow_creation_guide}</action>
<action>Study all sections thoroughly including:
- Core concepts (tasks vs workflows, workflow types)

</action>
<action>Load template files from: {workflow_template_path}/</action>
<critical>You must follow ALL conventions from the guide to ensure optimal human-AI collaboration</critical>
</step>
<step n="1" goal="Define workflow purpose and type">
Ask the user:
- What is the workflow name? (kebab-case, e.g., "product-brief")
- What module will it belong to? (e.g., "bmm", "bmb", "cis")
- Store as {{target_module}} for output path determination
- What is the workflow's main purpose?
- What type of workflow is this?
- Document workflow (generates documents like PRDs, specs)
- Action workflow (performs actions like refactoring)
- Interactive workflow (guided sessions)
- Autonomous workflow (runs without user input)
- Meta-workflow (coordinates other workflows)
Based on type, determine which files are needed:
- Document: workflow.yaml + template.md + instructions.md + checklist.md
- Action: workflow.yaml + instructions.md
- Others: Varies based on requirements
<critical>Determine output location based on module assignment:</critical>
- If workflow belongs to module: Save to {module_output_folder}
- If standalone workflow: Save to {standalone_output_folder}
Store decisions for later use.
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Gather workflow metadata">
Collect essential configuration details:
- Description (clear purpose statement)
- Author name (default to user_name or "BMad")
- Output file naming pattern
- Any required input documents
- Any required tools or dependencies
Create the workflow name in kebab-case and verify it doesn't conflict with existing workflows.
</step>
<step n="3" goal="Design workflow steps">
Work with user to outline the workflow steps:
- How many major steps? (Recommend 5-10 max)
- What is the goal of each step?
- Which steps are optional?
- Which steps need user input?
- Which steps should repeat?
- What variables/outputs does each step produce?
<ask>What instruction style should this workflow favor?
**1. Intent-Based (Recommended)** - Guide the LLM with goals and principles, let it adapt conversations naturally
- More flexible and conversational
- LLM chooses appropriate questions based on context
- Better for complex discovery and iterative refinement
- Example: `<action>Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics and needs</action>`
**2. Prescriptive** - Provide exact wording for questions and options
- More controlled and predictable
- Ensures consistency across runs
- Better for simple data collection or specific compliance needs
- Example: `<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>`
Note: Your choice will be the _primary_ style, but we'll use the other when it makes more sense for specific steps.</ask>
<action>Store instruction_style preference (intent-based or prescriptive)</action>
<action>Explain that both styles have value and will be mixed appropriately</action>
Create a step outline with clear goals and outputs.
</step>
<step n="4" goal="Create workflow.yaml">
Load and use the template at: {template_workflow_yaml}
Replace all placeholders following the workflow creation guide conventions:
- {TITLE} → Proper case workflow name
- {WORKFLOW_CODE} → kebab-case name
- {WORKFLOW_DESCRIPTION} → Clear description
- {module-code} → Target module
- {file.md} → Output filename pattern
Include:
- All metadata from steps 1-2
- Proper paths for installed_path using variable substitution
- Template/instructions/validation paths based on workflow type:
- Document workflow: all files (template, instructions, validation)
- Action workflow: instructions only (template: false)
- Autonomous: set autonomous: true flag
- Required tools if any
- Recommended inputs if any
<critical>ALWAYS include the standard config block:</critical>
```yaml
# Critical variables from config
config_source: '{project-root}/bmad/{{target_module}}/config.yaml'
output_folder: '{config_source}:output_folder'
user_name: '{config_source}:user_name'
communication_language: '{config_source}:communication_language'
date: system-generated
```
<critical>This standard config ensures workflows can run autonomously and communicate properly with users</critical>
Follow path conventions from guide:
- Use {project-root} for absolute paths
- Use {installed_path} for workflow components
- Use {config_source} for config references
<critical>Determine save location:</critical>
- Use the output folder determined in Step 1 (module or standalone)
- Write to {{output_folder}}/workflow.yaml
</step>
<step n="5" goal="Create instructions.md" if="workflow_type != 'template-only'">
Load and use the template at: {template_instructions}
Generate the instructions.md file following the workflow creation guide:
1. ALWAYS include critical headers:
- Workflow engine reference: {project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
- workflow.yaml reference: must be loaded and processed
2. Structure with <workflow> tags containing all steps
3. For each step from design phase, follow guide conventions:
- Step attributes: n="X" goal="clear goal statement"
- Optional steps: optional="true"
- Repeating: repeat="3" or repeat="for-each-X" or repeat="until-approved"
- Conditional: if="condition"
- Sub-steps: Use 3a, 3b notation
4. Use proper XML tags from guide:
- Execution: <action>, <check>, <ask>, <goto>, <invoke-workflow>
- Output: <template-output>, <invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml</invoke-task>, <critical>, <example>
- Flow: <loop>, <break>, <continue>
5. Best practices from guide:
- Keep steps focused (single goal)
- Be specific ("Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about")
- Provide examples where helpful
- Set limits ("3-5 items maximum")
- Save checkpoints with <template-output>
<critical>Standard config variable usage:</critical>
Instructions MUST use the standard config variables where appropriate:
- Communicate in {communication_language} throughout the workflow
- Address user as {user_name} in greetings and summaries
- Write all output files to {output_folder} or subdirectories
- Include {date} in generated document headers
Example usage in instructions:
```xml
<action>Write document to {output_folder}/output-file.md</action>
<critical>Communicate all responses in {communication_language}</critical>
<output>Hello {user_name}, the workflow is complete!</output>
```
<critical>Applying instruction style preference:</critical>
Based on the {{instruction_style}} preference from Step 3, generate instructions using these patterns:
**Intent-Based Instructions (Recommended for most workflows):**
Focus on goals, principles, and desired outcomes. Let the LLM adapt the conversation naturally.
**Good Examples:**
```xml
<!-- Discovery and exploration -->
<action>Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics, psychographics, and behavioral characteristics</action>
<action>Explore the user's vision for the product, asking probing questions to uncover core motivations and success criteria</action>
<action>Help user identify and prioritize key features based on user value and technical feasibility</action>
<!-- Validation and refinement -->
<action>Validate that the technical approach aligns with project constraints and team capabilities</action>
<action>Challenge assumptions about user needs and market fit with thought-provoking questions</action>
<!-- Complex iterative work -->
<action>Collaborate with user to refine the architecture, iterating until they're satisfied with the design</action>
```
**Avoid (too prescriptive):**
```xml
<ask>What is your target audience age range? Choose: 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45+</ask>
<ask>List exactly 3 key features in priority order</ask>
```
**When to use Intent-Based:**
- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements gathering)
- Creative brainstorming and ideation
- Iterative refinement workflows
- When user input quality matters more than consistency
- Workflows requiring adaptation to context
**Prescriptive Instructions (Use selectively):**
Provide exact wording, specific options, and controlled interactions.
**Good Examples:**
```xml
<!-- Simple data collection -->
<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>
<ask>Select monetization model: Premium, Free-to-Play, Subscription, Ad-Supported</ask>
<!-- Compliance and standards -->
<ask>Does this comply with GDPR requirements? [yes/no]</ask>
<ask>Choose documentation standard: JSDoc, TypeDoc, TSDoc</ask>
<!-- Binary decisions -->
<ask>Do you want to generate test cases? [yes/no]</ask>
<ask>Include performance benchmarks? [yes/no]</ask>
```
**Avoid (too rigid for complex tasks):**
```xml
<ask>What are your product goals? List exactly 5 goals, each 10-15 words</ask>
<ask>Describe your user persona in exactly 3 sentences</ask>
```
**When to use Prescriptive:**
- Simple data collection (platform, format, yes/no choices)
- Compliance verification and standards adherence
- Configuration with finite options
- When consistency is critical across all executions
- Quick setup wizards
**Mixing Both Styles (Best Practice):**
Even if user chose a primary style, use the other when appropriate:
```xml
<!-- Intent-based workflow with prescriptive moments -->
<step n="1" goal="Understand user vision">
<action>Explore the user's vision for their game, uncovering their creative intent and target experience</action>
<action>Ask probing questions about genre, themes, and emotional tone they want to convey</action>
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Capture basic metadata">
<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask> <!-- Prescriptive for simple choice -->
<ask>Select primary genre: Action, RPG, Strategy, Puzzle, Simulation, Other</ask>
</step>
<step n="3" goal="Deep dive into gameplay">
<action>Guide user to articulate their core gameplay loop, exploring mechanics and player agency</action> <!-- Back to intent-based -->
<action>Help them identify what makes their game unique and compelling</action>
</step>
```
**Guidelines for the chosen style:**
If user chose **Intent-Based**:
- Default to goal-oriented <action> tags
- Use open-ended guidance language
- Save prescriptive <ask> tags for simple data/choices
- Focus on "guide", "explore", "help user", "validate"
- Allow LLM to adapt questions to user responses
If user chose **Prescriptive**:
- Default to explicit <ask> tags with clear options
- Use precise wording for consistency
- Save intent-based <action> tags for complex discovery
- Focus on "choose", "select", "specify", "confirm"
- Provide structured choices when possible
**Remember:** The goal is optimal human-AI collaboration. Use whichever style best serves the user at each step.
<critical>Save location:</critical>
- Write to {{output_folder}}/instructions.md
</step>
<step n="6" goal="Create template.md" if="workflow_type == 'document'">
Load and use the template at: {template_template}
Generate the template.md file following guide conventions:
1. Document structure with clear sections
2. Variable syntax: {{variable_name}} using snake_case
3. Variable names MUST match <template-output> tags exactly from instructions
4. Include standard metadata header (optional - config variables available):
```markdown
# Document Title
**Date:** {{date}}
**Author:** {{user_name}}
```
Note: {{date}} and {{user_name}} are optional in headers. Primary purpose of these variables:
- {{date}} - Gives agent current date awareness (not confused with training cutoff)
- {{user_name}} - Optional author attribution
- {{communication_language}} - NOT for document output! Tells agent how to communicate during execution
5. Follow naming conventions from guide:
- Use descriptive names: {{primary_user_journey}} not {{puj}}
- Snake_case for all variables
- Match instruction outputs precisely
Variable sources as per guide:
- workflow.yaml config values (user_name, communication_language, date, output_folder)
- User input runtime values
- Step outputs via <template-output>
- System variables (date, paths)
<critical>Standard config variables in templates:</critical>
Templates CAN optionally use these config variables:
- {{user_name}} - Document author (optional)
- {{date}} - Generation date (optional)
IMPORTANT: {{communication_language}} is NOT for document headers!
- Purpose: Tells agent how to communicate with user during workflow execution
- NOT for: Document output language or template headers
- Future: {{document_output_language}} will handle multilingual document generation
These variables are automatically available from workflow.yaml config block.
<critical>Save location:</critical>
- Write to {{output_folder}}/template.md
</step>
<step n="7" goal="Create validation checklist" optional="true">
Ask if user wants a validation checklist. If yes:
Load and use the template at: {template_checklist}
Create checklist.md following guide best practices:
1. Make criteria MEASURABLE and SPECIFIC
❌ "- [ ] Good documentation"
✅ "- [ ] Each function has JSDoc comments with parameters and return types"
2. Group checks logically:
- Structure: All sections present, no placeholders, proper formatting
- Content Quality: Clear and specific, technically accurate, consistent terminology
- Completeness: Ready for next phase, dependencies documented, action items defined
3. Include workflow-specific validations based on type:
- Document workflows: Template variables mapped, sections complete
- Action workflows: Actions clearly defined, error handling specified
- Interactive: User prompts clear, decision points documented
4. Add final validation section with issue lists
<critical>Save location:</critical>
- Write to {{output_folder}}/checklist.md
</step>
<step n="8" goal="Create supporting files" optional="true">
Ask if any supporting data files are needed:
- CSV files with data
- Example documents
- Reference materials
If yes, create placeholder files or copy from templates.
</step>
<step n="9" goal="Test and validate workflow">
Review the created workflow:
**Basic Validation:**
1. Verify all file paths are correct
2. Check variable names match between files
3. Ensure step numbering is sequential
4. Validate YAML syntax
5. Confirm all placeholders are replaced
**Standard Config Validation:** 6. Verify workflow.yaml contains standard config block:
- config_source defined
- output_folder, user_name, communication_language pulled from config
- date set to system-generated
7. Check instructions use config variables where appropriate
8. Verify template includes config variables in metadata (if document workflow)
**YAML/Instruction/Template Alignment:** 9. Cross-check all workflow.yaml variables against instruction usage:
- Are all yaml variables referenced in instructions.md OR template.md?
- Are there hardcoded values that should be variables?
- Do template variables match <template-output> tags in instructions?
10. Identify any unused yaml fields (bloat detection)
Show user a summary of created files and their locations.
Ask if they want to:
- Test run the workflow
- Make any adjustments
- Add additional steps or features
</step>
<step n="9b" goal="Configure web bundle (optional)">
<ask>Will this workflow need to be deployable as a web bundle? [yes/no]</ask>
If yes:
<action>Explain web bundle requirements:</action>
- Web bundles are self-contained and cannot use config_source variables
- All files must be explicitly listed in web_bundle_files
- File paths use bmad/ root (not {project-root})
<action>Configure web_bundle section in workflow.yaml:</action>
1. Copy core workflow metadata (name, description, author)
2. Convert all file paths to bmad/-relative paths:
- Remove {project-root}/ prefix
- Remove {config_source} references (use hardcoded values)
- Example: "{project-root}/bmad/bmm/workflows/x" → "bmad/bmm/workflows/x"
3. List ALL referenced files by scanning:
**Scan instructions.md for:**
- File paths in <action> tags
- Data files (CSV, JSON, YAML, etc.)
- Validation/checklist files
- Any <invoke-workflow> calls → must include that workflow's yaml file
- Any <goto> tags that reference other workflows
- Shared templates or includes
**Scan template.md for:**
- Any includes or references to other files
- Shared template fragments
**Critical: Workflow Dependencies**
- If instructions call another workflow, that workflow's yaml MUST be in web_bundle_files
- Example: `<invoke-workflow>{project-root}/bmad/core/workflows/x/workflow.yaml</invoke-workflow>`
→ Add "bmad/core/workflows/x/workflow.yaml" to web_bundle_files
4. Create web_bundle_files array with complete list
Example:
```yaml
web_bundle:
name: '{workflow_name}'
description: '{workflow_description}'
author: '{author}'
instructions: 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/instructions.md'
validation: 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/checklist.md'
template: 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/template.md'
# Any data files (no config_source)
data_file: 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/data.csv'
web_bundle_files:
- 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/instructions.md'
- 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/checklist.md'
- 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/template.md'
- 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/data.csv'
# Add every single file referenced anywhere
# CRITICAL: If this workflow invokes other workflows, use existing_workflows
# This signals the bundler to recursively include those workflows' web_bundles
existing_workflows:
- workflow_variable_name: 'bmad/path/to/workflow.yaml'
```
**Example with existing_workflows:**
```yaml
web_bundle:
name: 'brainstorm-game'

existing_workflows:
- core_brainstorming: 'bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml'
```
**What existing_workflows does:**
- Tells the bundler this workflow invokes another workflow
- Bundler recursively includes the invoked workflow's entire web_bundle
- Essential for meta-workflows that orchestrate other workflows
- Maps workflow variable names to their bmad/-relative paths
<action>Validate web bundle completeness:</action>
- Ensure no {config_source} variables remain
- Verify all file paths are listed
- Check that paths are bmad/-relative
- If workflow uses <invoke-workflow>, add to existing_workflows
<template-output>web_bundle_config</template-output>
</step>
<step n="10" goal="Document and finalize">
<action>Create a brief README for the workflow folder explaining purpose, how to invoke, expected inputs, generated outputs, and any special requirements</action>
<action>Provide {user_name} with workflow completion summary in {communication_language}:</action>
- Location of created workflow: {{output_folder}}
- Command to run it: `workflow {workflow_name}`
- Next steps:
- Run the BMAD Method installer to this project location
- Select 'Compile Agents (Quick rebuild of all agent .md files)' after confirming the folder
- This will compile the new workflow and make it available for use

## Quick Start
### Minimal Workflow (3 minutes)
Create a folder with these files:
```yaml
# workflow.yaml (REQUIRED)
name: 'my-workflow'
description: 'What this workflow does'
installed_path: '{project-root}/bmad/module/workflows/my-workflow'
template: '{installed_path}/template.md'
instructions: '{installed_path}/instructions.md'
default_output_file: '{output_folder}/output.md'
```
```markdown
# template.md
# {{project_name}} Output
{{main_content}}
```
```markdown
# instructions.md
<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project_root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>
<critical>You MUST have already loaded and processed: workflow.yaml</critical>
<workflow>
<step n="1" goal="Generate content">
Create the main content for this document.
<template-output>main_content</template-output>
</step>
</workflow>
```
That's it! To execute, tell the BMAD agent: `workflow my-workflow`
## Core Concepts
### Tasks vs Workflows
| Aspect | Task | Workflow |
| -------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------- |
| **Purpose** | Single operation | Multi-step process |
| **Format** | XML in `.md` file | Folder with YAML config |
| **Location** | `/src/core/tasks/` | `/bmad/*/workflows/` |
| **User Input** | Minimal | Extensive |
| **Output** | Variable | Usually documents |
### Workflow Types
1. **Document Workflows** - Generate PRDs, specs, architectures
2. **Action Workflows** - Refactor code, run tools, orchestrate tasks
3. **Interactive Workflows** - Brainstorming, meditations, guided sessions
4. **Autonomous Workflows** - Run without human input (story generation)
5. **Meta-Workflows** - Coordinate other workflows
## Workflow Structure
### Required Files
```
my-workflow/
└── workflow.yaml # REQUIRED - Configuration
```
### Optional Files
```
my-workflow/
├── template.md # Document structure
├── instructions.md # Step-by-step guide
├── checklist.md # Validation criteria
└── [data files] # Supporting resources
```
### workflow.yaml Configuration
```yaml
# Basic metadata
name: 'workflow-name'
description: 'Clear purpose statement'
# Paths
installed_path: '{project-root}/bmad/module/workflows/name'
template: '{installed_path}/template.md' # or false
instructions: '{installed_path}/instructions.md' # or false
validation: '{installed_path}/checklist.md' # optional
# Output
default_output_file: '{output_folder}/document.md'
# Advanced options
autonomous: true # Skip user checkpoints
recommended_inputs: # Expected input docs
- input_doc: 'path/to/doc.md'
```
### Common Patterns
**Full Document Workflow** (most common)
- Has: All 4 files
- Use for: PRDs, architectures, specs
**Action Workflow** (no template)
- Has: workflow.yaml + instructions.md
- Use for: Refactoring, tool orchestration
**Autonomous Workflow** (no interaction)
- Has: workflow.yaml + template + instructions
- Use for: Automated generation
## Writing Instructions
### Basic Structure
```markdown
# instructions.md
<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project_root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>
<critical>You MUST have already loaded and processed: workflow.yaml</critical>
<workflow>
<step n="1" goal="Clear goal statement">
Instructions for this step.
<template-output>variable_name</template-output>
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Next goal" optional="true">
Optional step instructions.
<template-output>another_variable</template-output>
</step>
</workflow>
```
### Step Attributes
- `n="X"` - Step number (required)
- `goal="..."` - What the step accomplishes (required)
- `optional="true"` - User can skip
- `repeat="3"` - Repeat N times
- `if="condition"` - Conditional execution
### Content Formats
**Markdown Format** (human-friendly):
```xml
<step n="1" goal="Define goals">
Write 1-3 bullet points about project success:
- User outcomes
- Business value
- Measurable results
<template-output>goals</template-output>
</step>
```
**XML Format** (precise control):
```xml
<step n="2" goal="Validate input">
<action>Load validation criteria</action>
<check if="validation fails">
<goto step="1">Return to previous step</goto>
</check>
<template-output>validated_data</template-output>
</step>
```
## Templates and Variables
### Variable Syntax
```markdown
# template.md
# {{project_name}} Document
## Section
{{section_content}}
_Generated on {{date}}_
```
### Variable Sources
1. **workflow.yaml** - Config values
2. **User input** - Runtime values
3. **Step outputs** - `<template-output>` tags
4. **System** - Date, paths, etc.
### Naming Convention
- Use snake_case: `{{user_requirements}}`
- Be descriptive: `{{primary_user_journey}}` not `{{puj}}`
## Flow Control
### Sub-Steps
```xml
<step n="3" goal="Process items">
<step n="3a" title="Gather data">
<action>Collect information</action>
</step>
<step n="3b" title="Analyze">
<action>Process collected data</action>
<template-output>analysis</template-output>
</step>
</step>
```
### Repetition
```xml
<!-- Fixed repetitions -->
<step n="4" repeat="3">
<action>Generate example {{iteration}}</action>
</step>
<!-- Conditional repetition -->
<step n="5" repeat="until-approved">
<action>Generate content</action>
<ask>Satisfactory? (y/n)</ask>
</step>
<!-- For-each repetition -->
<step n="6" repeat="for-each-epic">
<action>Define epic {{epic_name}}</action>
</step>
```
### Conditional Execution
**Single Action (use `action if=""`):**
```xml
<step n="6" goal="Load context">
<action if="file exists">Load existing document</action>
<action if="new project">Initialize from template</action>
</step>
```
**Multiple Actions (use `<check if="">...</check>`):**
```xml
<step n="7" goal="Validate">
<action>Check requirements</action>
<check if="incomplete">
<action>Log validation errors</action>
<goto step="2">Return to gathering</goto>
</check>
<check if="complete">
<action>Mark as validated</action>
<continue>Proceed</continue>
</check>
</step>
```
**When to use which:**
- **`<action if="">`** - Single conditional action (cleaner, more concise)
- **`<check if="">...</check>`** - Multiple items under same condition (explicit scope)
### Loops
```xml
<step n="8" goal="Refine">
<loop max="5">
<action>Generate solution</action>
<check if="criteria met">
<break>Exit loop</break>
</check>
</loop>
</step>
```
### Common XML Tags
**Execution:**
- `<action>` - Required action
- `<action if="condition">` - Single conditional action (inline)
- `<check if="condition">...</check>` - Conditional block for multiple items (requires closing tag)
- `<ask>` - User prompt
- `<goto>` - Jump to step
- `<invoke-workflow>` - Call another workflow
**Output:**
- `<template-output>` - Save checkpoint
- `<invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml</invoke-task>` - Trigger AI enhancement
- `<critical>` - Important info
- `<example>` - Show example
## Validation
### checklist.md Structure
```markdown
# Validation Checklist
## Structure

### Making Criteria Measurable
`- [ ] Good documentation`
`- [ ] Each function has JSDoc comments with parameters and return types`
## Examples
### Document Generation
```xml
<workflow>
<step n="1" goal="Gather context">
Load existing documents and understand project scope.
<template-output>context</template-output>
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Define requirements">
Create functional and non-functional requirements.
<template-output>requirements</template-output>
<invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml</invoke-task>
</step>
<step n="3" goal="Validate">
Check requirements against goals.
<template-output>validated_requirements</template-output>
</step>
</workflow>
```
### Action Workflow
```xml
<workflow>
<step n="1" goal="Analyze codebase">
<action>Find all API endpoints</action>
<action>Identify patterns</action>
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Refactor">
<repeat for-each="endpoint">
<action>Update to new pattern</action>
</repeat>
</step>
<step n="3" goal="Verify">
<action>Run tests</action>
<check if="tests fail">
<goto step="2">Fix issues</goto>
</check>
</step>
</workflow>
```
### Meta-Workflow
```xml
<workflow name="greenfield-app">
<step n="1" goal="Discovery">
<invoke-workflow>product-brief</invoke-workflow>
<template-output>brief</template-output>
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Requirements">
<invoke-workflow input="{{brief}}">prd</invoke-workflow>
<template-output>prd</template-output>
</step>
<step n="3" goal="Architecture">
<invoke-workflow input="{{prd}}">architecture</invoke-workflow>
<template-output>architecture</template-output>
</step>
</workflow>
```
## Best Practices
### Design Principles
1. **Keep steps focused** - Single goal per step
2. **Limit scope** - 5-10 steps maximum
3. **Build progressively** - Start simple, add detail
4. **Checkpoint often** - Save after major sections
5. **Make sections optional** - Let users skip when appropriate
### Instruction Guidelines
1. **Be specific** - "Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about"
2. **Provide examples** - Show expected output format
3. **Set limits** - "3-5 items maximum"
4. **Explain why** - Context helps AI make better decisions
### Conditional Execution Best Practices
**✅ DO:**
- Use `<action if="">` for single conditional actions
- Use `<check if="">...</check>` for blocks with multiple items
- Always close `<check>` tags explicitly
- Keep conditions simple and readable
**❌ DON'T:**
- Wrap single actions in `<check>` blocks (unnecessarily verbose)
- Forget to close `<check>` tags
- Nest too many levels (makes logic hard to follow)
**Examples:**
```xml
<!-- ✅ Good: Single action -->
<action if="file exists">Load configuration</action>
<!-- ❌ Avoid: Unnecessary wrapper for single action -->
<check if="file exists">
<action>Load configuration</action>
</check>
<!-- ✅ Good: Multiple actions in block -->
<check if="validation fails">
<action>Log error details</action>
<action>Notify user</action>
<goto step="1">Retry input</goto>
</check>
```
### Common Pitfalls
- **Missing critical headers** - Always include workflow engine references
- **Variables not replaced** - Ensure names match exactly
- **Too many steps** - Combine related actions
- **No checkpoints** - Add `<template-output>` tags
- **Vague instructions** - Be explicit about expectations
- **Unclosed check tags** - Always close `<check if="">...</check>` blocks
- **Wrong conditional pattern** - Use `<action if="">` for single items, `<check if="">` for blocks
## Web Bundles
Web bundles allow workflows to be deployed as self-contained packages for web environments.
### When to Use Web Bundles
- Deploying workflows to web-based AI platforms
- Creating shareable workflow packages
- Ensuring workflow portability without dependencies
- Publishing workflows for public use
### Web Bundle Requirements
1. **Self-Contained**: No external dependencies
2. **No Config Variables**: Cannot use `{config_source}` references
3. **Complete File List**: Every referenced file must be listed
4. **Relative Paths**: Use `bmad/` root paths (no `{project-root}`)
### Creating a Web Bundle
Add this section to your workflow.yaml:
```yaml
web_bundle:
name: 'workflow-name'
description: 'Workflow description'
author: 'Your Name'
# Core files (bmad/-relative paths)
instructions: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/instructions.md'
validation: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/checklist.md'
template: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/template.md'
# Data files (no config_source allowed)
data_file: 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/data.csv'
# Complete file list - CRITICAL!
web_bundle_files:
- 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/instructions.md'
- 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/checklist.md'
- 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/template.md'
- 'bmad/module/workflows/workflow/data.csv'
# Include ALL referenced files
```
### Converting Existing Workflows
1. **Remove Config Dependencies**:
- Replace `{config_source}:variable` with hardcoded values
- Convert `{project-root}/bmad/` to `bmad/`
2. **Inventory All Files**:
- Scan instructions.md for file references
- Check template.md for includes
- List all data files
3. **Test Completeness**:
- Ensure no missing file references
- Verify all paths are relative to bmad/
### Example: Complete Web Bundle
```yaml
web_bundle:
name: 'analyze-requirements'
description: 'Requirements analysis workflow'
author: 'BMad Team'
instructions: 'bmad/bmm/workflows/analyze-requirements/instructions.md'
validation: 'bmad/bmm/workflows/analyze-requirements/checklist.md'
template: 'bmad/bmm/workflows/analyze-requirements/template.md'
# Data files
techniques_data: 'bmad/bmm/workflows/analyze-requirements/techniques.csv'
patterns_data: 'bmad/bmm/workflows/analyze-requirements/patterns.json'
# Sub-workflow reference
validation_workflow: 'bmad/bmm/workflows/validate-requirements/workflow.yaml'
web_bundle_files:
# Core workflow files
- 'bmad/bmm/workflows/analyze-requirements/instructions.md'
- 'bmad/bmm/workflows/analyze-requirements/checklist.md'
- 'bmad/bmm/workflows/analyze-requirements/template.md'
# Data files
- 'bmad/bmm/workflows/analyze-requirements/techniques.csv'
- 'bmad/bmm/workflows/analyze-requirements/patterns.json'
# Sub-workflow and its files
- 'bmad/bmm/workflows/validate-requirements/workflow.yaml'
- 'bmad/bmm/workflows/validate-requirements/instructions.md'
- 'bmad/bmm/workflows/validate-requirements/checklist.md'
# Shared templates referenced in instructions
- 'bmad/bmm/templates/requirement-item.md'
- 'bmad/bmm/templates/validation-criteria.md'
```
## Troubleshooting
### Variables Not Replaced
- Check exact name match
- Verify `<template-output>` tag present
- Ensure step generates the variable
### Validation Fails
- Review checklist specificity
- Check for impossible requirements
- Verify checklist matches template
### Workflow Too Long
- Combine related steps
- Make sections optional
- Reduce elicitation points
### User Confusion
- Add clearer step goals
- Provide more examples
- Explain section purpose

# Edit Workflow
## Purpose
An intelligent workflow editor that helps you modify existing BMAD workflows while adhering to all best practices and conventions documented in the workflow creation guide.
## Use Case
When you need to:
- Fix issues in existing workflows
- Update workflow configuration or metadata
- Improve instruction clarity and specificity
- Add new features or capabilities
- Ensure compliance with BMAD workflow conventions
## How to Invoke
```
workflow edit-workflow
```
Or through a BMAD agent:
```
*edit-workflow
```
## Expected Inputs
- **Target workflow path**: Path to the workflow.yaml file or workflow folder you want to edit
- **Edit type selection**: Choice of what aspect to modify
- **User approval**: For each proposed change
## Generated Outputs
- Modified workflow files (in place)
- Optional change log at: `{output_folder}/workflow-edit-log-{date}.md`
## Features
1. **Comprehensive Analysis**: Checks workflows against the official creation guide
2. **Prioritized Issues**: Identifies and ranks issues by importance
3. **Guided Editing**: Step-by-step process with explanations
4. **Best Practices**: Ensures all edits follow BMAD conventions
5. **Instruction Style Optimization**: Convert between intent-based and prescriptive styles
6. **Validation**: Checks all changes for correctness
7. **Change Tracking**: Documents what was modified and why
## Understanding Instruction Styles
When editing workflows, one powerful option is **adjusting the instruction style** to better match the workflow's purpose.
### Intent-Based vs Prescriptive Instructions
**Intent-Based (Recommended for most workflows)**
Guides the AI with goals and principles, allowing flexible conversation.
- **More flexible and conversational** - AI adapts to user responses
- **Better for complex discovery** - Requirements gathering, creative exploration
- **Quality over consistency** - Deep understanding matters more
- **Example**: `<action>Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics and needs</action>`
**When to use:**
- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements)
- Creative brainstorming and ideation
- Iterative refinement workflows
- Workflows requiring nuanced understanding
**Prescriptive**
Provides exact questions with structured options.
- **More controlled and predictable** - Consistent questions every time
- **Better for simple data collection** - Platform, format, yes/no choices
- **Consistency over quality** - Same execution every run
- **Example**: `<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>`
**When to use:**
- Simple data collection (platform, format, binary choices)
- Compliance verification and standards adherence
- Configuration with finite options
- Quick setup wizards
### Edit Workflow's Style Adjustment Feature
The **"Adjust instruction style"** editing option (menu option 11) helps you:
1. **Analyze current style** - Identifies whether workflow is primarily intent-based or prescriptive
2. **Convert between styles** - Transform prescriptive steps to intent-based (or vice versa)
3. **Optimize the mix** - Intelligently recommend the best style for each step
4. **Step-by-step control** - Review and decide on each step individually
**Common scenarios:**
- **Make workflow more conversational**: Convert rigid <ask> tags to flexible <action> tags for complex steps
- **Make workflow more consistent**: Convert open-ended <action> tags to structured <ask> tags for simple data collection
- **Balance both approaches**: Use intent-based for discovery, prescriptive for simple choices
This feature is especially valuable when converting legacy workflows or adapting workflows for different use cases.
## Workflow Steps
1. Load and analyze target workflow
2. Check against best practices
3. Select editing focus
4. Load relevant documentation
5. Perform edits with user approval
6. Validate all changes (optional)
7. Generate change summary
## Requirements
- Access to workflow creation guide
- Read/write permissions for target workflow
- Understanding of BMAD workflow types

5. Scan template.md for any includes
6. Create complete web_bundle_files array
7. **CRITICAL**: Check for <invoke-workflow> calls in instructions:
- If workflow invokes other workflows, add existing_workflows field
- Maps workflow variable name to bmad/-relative path
- Signals bundler to recursively include invoked workflow's web_bundle
- Example: `existing_workflows: - core_brainstorming: "bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml"`
8. Generate web_bundle section
If updating existing web bundle:
1. Verify all paths are bmad/-relative
2. Check for missing files in web_bundle_files
3. Remove any config dependencies
4. Update file list with newly referenced files
<check>If adjusting instruction style (option 11):</check>
<action>Present current style analysis to user:</action>
**Current Instruction Style Analysis:**
- Current dominant style: {{detected_style}}
- Intent-based elements: {{intent_count}}
- Prescriptive elements: {{prescriptive_count}}
**Understanding Intent-Based vs Prescriptive:**
**1. Intent-Based (Recommended)** - Guide the LLM with goals and principles, let it adapt conversations naturally
- More flexible and conversational
- LLM chooses appropriate questions based on context
- Better for complex discovery and iterative refinement
- Example: `<action>Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics and needs</action>`
**2. Prescriptive** - Provide exact wording for questions and options
- More controlled and predictable
- Ensures consistency across runs
- Better for simple data collection or specific compliance needs
- Example: `<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>`
**When to use Intent-Based:**
- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements gathering)
- Creative brainstorming and ideation
- Iterative refinement workflows
- When user input quality matters more than consistency
- Workflows requiring adaptation to context
**When to use Prescriptive:**
- Simple data collection (platform, format, yes/no choices)
- Compliance verification and standards adherence
- Configuration with finite options
- When consistency is critical across all executions
- Quick setup wizards
**Best Practice: Mix Both Styles**
Even workflows with a primary style should use the other when appropriate. For example:
```xml
<!-- Intent-based workflow with prescriptive moments -->
<step n="1" goal="Understand user vision">
<action>Explore the user's vision, uncovering their creative intent and target experience</action>
</step>
<step n="2" goal="Capture basic metadata">
<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask> <!-- Prescriptive for simple choice -->
</step>
<step n="3" goal="Deep dive into details">
<action>Guide user to articulate their approach, exploring mechanics and unique aspects</action> <!-- Back to intent-based -->
</step>
```
<ask>What would you like to do?
1. **Make more intent-based** - Convert prescriptive <ask> tags to goal-oriented <action> tags where appropriate
2. **Make more prescriptive** - Convert open-ended <action> tags to specific <ask> tags with options
3. **Optimize mix** - Use intent-based for complex steps, prescriptive for simple data collection
4. **Review specific steps** - Show me each step and let me decide individually
5. **Cancel** - Keep current style
Select option (1-5):</ask>
<action>Store user's style adjustment preference as {{style_adjustment_choice}}</action>
<check>If choice is 1 (make more intent-based):</check>
<action>Identify prescriptive <ask> tags that could be converted to intent-based <action> tags</action>

## Best Practices
### Before Starting
1. **Gather Inspiration** - Research similar tools, modules, and solutions in your domain
2. **Run Brainstorming Session** - Use ideation techniques to generate initial concepts
3. **Define Success Criteria** - Know what "successful module" means for your context
### During Execution
1. **Think User-First** - Always consider the end user experience and value delivery
2. **Be Specific** - Provide concrete examples and detailed specifications rather than abstractions
3. **Validate Early** - Use user scenarios to test if the module concept actually works
4. **Plan Iteratively** - Start with MVP and build complexity through phases
### After Completion
1. **Use as Blueprint** - Feed the brief directly into create-module workflow for implementation
2. **Review with Stakeholders** - Validate assumptions and gather feedback before building
3. **Update as Needed** - Treat as living document that evolves with implementation learnings
4. **Reference During Development** - Use as north star for design decisions and scope management
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**Issue**: Stuck on module concept or vision
- **Solution**: Use creative prompts provided in the workflow
- **Check**: Review existing modules for inspiration and patterns
**Issue**: Agent or workflow architecture too complex
- **Solution**: Focus on MVP first, plan enhancement phases for additional complexity
- **Check**: Validate each component against user scenarios
**Issue**: Technical requirements unclear
- **Solution**: Research similar modules and their implementation approaches
- **Check**: Consult with technical stakeholders early in planning
**Issue**: Scope creep during planning
- **Solution**: Use phased roadmap to defer non-essential features
- **Check**: Regularly validate against core user scenarios and success criteria
## Customization
To customize this workflow:
1. **Modify Template Structure** - Update template.md to add new sections or reorganize content
2. **Extend Creative Prompts** - Add domain-specific ideation techniques in instructions.md
3. **Add Planning Tools** - Integrate additional analysis frameworks or planning methodologies
4. **Customize Validation** - Enhance checklist.md with specific quality criteria for your context

# ReDoc - Reverse-Tree Documentation Engine
**Type:** Autonomous Action Workflow
**Module:** BMad Builder (bmb)
## Purpose
ReDoc is an intelligent documentation maintenance system for BMAD modules, workflows, and agents. It uses a reverse-tree approach (leaf folders first, then parent folders) to systematically generate and update README.md files with technical writer quality output.
The workflow understands BMAD conventions deeply and focuses documentation on distinctive features rather than explaining standard patterns, resulting in succinct, precise technical documentation.
## Key Features
- **Reverse-Tree Processing**: Documents from deepest folders up to module root, allowing child documentation to inform parent summaries
- **Convention-Aware**: Loads BMAD architecture patterns and only documents unique/distinctive aspects
- **Scalability**: Automatically creates catalog documents (WORKFLOWS-CATALOG.md, AGENTS-CATALOG.md) for massive folders (>10 items)
- **Diff-Aware**: Tracks `last-redoc-date` frontmatter to enable change detection since last run
- **Autonomous**: Runs without user checkpoints unless clarification is genuinely required
- **Comprehensive**: Reads ALL files completely before generating documentation (no partial reads)
## Usage
Invoke with a target path:
```
workflow redoc
```
When prompted, provide one of:
- **Module path**: `bmad/bmm` (documents entire module: root, workflows, agents)
- **Workflows folder**: `bmad/bmm/workflows` (documents all workflows)
- **Agents folder**: `bmad/bmm/agents` (documents all agents)
- **Single workflow**: `bmad/bmm/workflows/product-brief` (documents one workflow)
- **Single agent**: `bmad/bmm/agents/prd-agent.md` (documents one agent)
## Inputs
### Required
- **target_path**: Path to module, folder, or specific component to document
### Knowledge Base (Auto-loaded)
- agent-architecture.md
- agent-command-patterns.md
- agent-types.md
- module-structure.md
- workflow-creation-guide.md
## Outputs
### Created/Updated Files
- **README.md**: At each documented level (workflow folders, agent folders, module root)
- **Catalog files**: WORKFLOWS-CATALOG.md, AGENTS-CATALOG.md (for massive folders)
- **Frontmatter**: All READMEs include `last-redoc-date: <timestamp>`
### Summary Report
- Documentation coverage statistics
- List of files created/updated
- Any items requiring manual review
## Workflow Steps
1. **Initialize**: Load BMAD conventions and validate target
2. **Analyze Structure**: Build reverse-tree execution plan
3. **Process Leaves**: Document individual workflows/agents (deepest first)
4. **Process Folders**: Document workflow/agent collections with categorization
5. **Process Root**: Document module overview with links and highlights
6. **Validate**: Verify completeness and generate report
7. **Diff Analysis** (optional): Show changes since last redoc
8. **Complete**: Report success and suggest next steps
## Technical Details
- **Execution**: Autonomous with minimal user interaction
- **Quality**: Technical writer standards - succinct, precise, professional
- **Context-Aware**: Uses BMAD convention knowledge to highlight only distinctive features
- **Scalable**: Handles folders of any size with intelligent catalog creation
## Next Steps After Running
1. Review generated documentation for accuracy
2. If documenting a subfolder, run redoc on parent module to update references
3. Commit documentation updates with meaningful message

1. CRITICAL: Always LOAD {project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
2. Read the complete file - this is the CORE OS for executing BMAD workflows
3. Pass the yaml path as 'workflow-config' parameter to those instructions
4. Execute workflow.xml instructions precisely following all steps
5. Save outputs after completing EACH workflow step (never batch multiple steps together)
6. If workflow.yaml path is "todo", inform user the workflow hasn't been implemented yet
