+# 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.
+

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

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

 # Contributing to BMad
 
-Thank you for considering contributing to the BMad project! We believe in **Human Amplification, Not Replacement** - bringing out the best thinking in both humans and AI through guided collaboration.
+Thank you for considering contributing! We believe in **Human Amplification, Not Replacement** — bringing out the best thinking in both humans and AI through guided collaboration.
 
-💬 **Discord Community**: Join our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj) for real-time discussions:
+💬 **Discord**: [Join our community](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj) for real-time discussions, questions, and collaboration.
 
-- **#general-dev** - Technical discussions, feature ideas, and development questions
-- **#bugs-issues** - Bug reports and issue discussions
+---
 
 ## 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

+## 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.

-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.
+- **[v4 Documentation](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/V4/docs)**
 
-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.

-# Audit Workflow - Validation Checklist
-
-## Structure
-
-- [ ] workflow.yaml file loads without YAML syntax errors
-- [ ] instructions.md file exists and is properly formatted
-- [ ] template.md file exists (if document workflow) with valid markdown
-- [ ] All critical headers present in instructions (workflow engine reference, workflow.yaml reference)
-- [ ] Workflow type correctly identified (document/action/interactive/autonomous/meta)
-- [ ] All referenced files actually exist at specified paths
-- [ ] No placeholder text remains (like {TITLE}, {WORKFLOW_CODE}, TODO, etc.)
-
-## Standard Config Block
-
-- [ ] workflow.yaml contains `config_source` pointing to correct module config
-- [ ] `output_folder` pulls from `{config_source}:output_folder`
-- [ ] `user_name` pulls from `{config_source}:user_name`
-- [ ] `communication_language` pulls from `{config_source}:communication_language`
-- [ ] `date` is set to `system-generated`
-- [ ] Config source uses {project-root} variable (not hardcoded path)
-- [ ] Standard config comment present: "Critical variables from config"
-
-## Config Variable Usage
-
-- [ ] Instructions communicate in {communication_language} where appropriate
-- [ ] Instructions address {user_name} in greetings or summaries where appropriate
-- [ ] All file outputs write to {output_folder} or subdirectories (no hardcoded paths)
-- [ ] Template includes {{user_name}} in metadata (optional for document workflows)
-- [ ] Template includes {{date}} in metadata (optional for document workflows)
-- [ ] Template does NOT use {{communication_language}} in headers (agent-only variable)
-- [ ] No hardcoded language-specific text that should use {communication_language}
-- [ ] Date used for agent date awareness (not confused with training cutoff)
-
-## YAML/Instruction/Template Alignment
-
-- [ ] Every workflow.yaml variable (excluding standard config) is used in instructions OR template
-- [ ] No unused yaml fields present (bloat removed)
-- [ ] No duplicate fields between top-level and web_bundle section
-- [ ] All template variables ({{variable}}) have corresponding yaml definitions OR <template-output> tags
-- [ ] All <template-output> tags have corresponding template variables (if document workflow)
-- [ ] Template variables use snake_case naming convention
-- [ ] Variable names are descriptive (not abbreviated like {{puj}} instead of {{primary_user_journey}})
-- [ ] No hardcoded values in instructions that should be yaml variables
-
-## Web Bundle Validation (if applicable)
-
-- [ ] web_bundle section present if workflow needs deployment
-- [ ] All paths in web_bundle use bmad/-relative format (NOT {project-root})
-- [ ] No {config_source} variables in web_bundle section
-- [ ] instructions file listed in web_bundle_files array
-- [ ] template file listed in web_bundle_files (if document workflow)
-- [ ] validation/checklist file listed in web_bundle_files (if exists)
-- [ ] All data files (CSV, JSON, YAML) listed in web_bundle_files
-- [ ] All <invoke-workflow> called workflows have their .yaml files in web_bundle_files
-- [ ] **CRITICAL**: If workflow invokes other workflows, existing_workflows field is present
-- [ ] existing_workflows maps workflow variables to bmad/-relative paths correctly
-- [ ] All files referenced in instructions <action> tags listed in web_bundle_files
-- [ ] No files listed in web_bundle_files that don't exist
-- [ ] Web bundle metadata (name, description, author) matches top-level metadata
-
-## Template Validation (if document workflow)
-
-- [ ] Template variables match <template-output> tags in instructions exactly
-- [ ] All required sections present in template structure
-- [ ] Template uses {{variable}} syntax (double curly braces)
-- [ ] Template variables use snake_case (not camelCase or PascalCase)
-- [ ] Standard metadata header format correct (optional usage of {{date}}, {{user_name}})
-- [ ] No placeholders remain in template (like {SECTION_NAME})
-- [ ] Template structure matches document purpose
-
-## Instructions Quality
-
-- [ ] Each step has n="X" attribute with sequential numbering
-- [ ] Each step has goal="clear goal statement" attribute
-- [ ] Optional steps marked with optional="true"
-- [ ] Repeating steps have appropriate repeat attribute (repeat="3", repeat="for-each-X", repeat="until-approved")
-- [ ] Conditional steps have if="condition" attribute
-- [ ] XML tags used correctly (<action>, <ask>, <check>, <goto>, <invoke-workflow>, <template-output>)
-- [ ] Steps are focused (single goal per step)
-- [ ] Instructions are specific with limits ("Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about")
-- [ ] Examples provided where helpful
-- [ ] <template-output> tags save checkpoints for document workflows
-- [ ] Flow control is logical and clear
-
-## Bloat Detection
-
-- [ ] Bloat percentage under 10% (unused yaml fields / total fields)
-- [ ] No commented-out variables that should be removed
-- [ ] No duplicate metadata between sections
-- [ ] No variables defined but never referenced
-- [ ] No redundant configuration that duplicates web_bundle

-# 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

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

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

-## 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>

-  <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>

-## Agent Lifecycle
-
-### 1. Initialization
-
-1. Load agent file
-2. Parse XML structure
-3. Load critical-actions
-4. Apply config overrides
-5. Present greeting
-
-### 2. Command Loop
-
-1. Show numbered menu
-2. Await user input
-3. Resolve command
-4. Execute action
-5. Return to menu
-
-### 3. Termination
-
-1. User enters \*exit
-2. Cleanup if needed
-3. Exit persona
-
-## Testing Checklist
-
-Before deploying an agent:
-
-- [ ] Valid XML structure
-- [ ] All persona elements present
-- [ ] *help and *exit commands exist
-- [ ] All paths use variables
-- [ ] No duplicate commands
-- [ ] Config loading works
-- [ ] Commands execute properly
-
-## LLM Building Tips
-
-When building agents:
-
-1. Start with agent type (Simple/Expert/Module)
-2. Define complete persona first
-3. Add standard critical-actions
-4. Include *help and *exit
-5. Add domain commands
-6. Test command execution
-7. Validate with checklist
-
-## Integration Points
-
-### With Workflows
-
-- Agents invoke workflows via run-workflow
-- Workflows can be incomplete (marked "todo")
-- Workflow paths must be valid or "todo"
-
-### With Tasks
-
-- Tasks are single operations
-- Executed via exec attribute
-- Can include data files
-
-### With Templates
-
-- Templates define document structure
-- Used with create-doc task
-- Variables passed through
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-### Minimal Commands
-
-```xml
-<menu>
-  <item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
-  <item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
-</menu>
-```
-
-### Standard Critical Actions
-
-```xml
-<critical-actions>
-  <i>Load into memory {project-root}/bmad/{module}/config.yaml</i>
-  <i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
-  <i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
-</critical-actions>
-```
-
-### Module Agent Pattern
-
-```xml
-<agent id="bmad/{module}/agents/{name}.md"
-       name="{Name}"
-       title="{Title}"
-       icon="{emoji}">
-  <persona>...</persona>
-  <critical-actions>...</critical-actions>
-  <menu>
-    <item cmd="*help">...</item>
-    <item cmd="*{command}" run-workflow="{path}">...</item>
-    <item cmd="*exit">...</item>
-  </menu>
-</agent>
-```

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

-```
-
-### Naming Anti-Patterns
-
-```xml

-<!-- ❌ 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

-
-<!-- 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 -->

-   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">

-       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/

-```
-
-## Choosing the Right Type
-
-### Choose Simple Agent when:
-
-- Single, well-defined purpose
-- No external data needed
-- Quick utility functions
-- Embedded logic is sufficient
-
-### Choose Expert Agent when:
-
-- Domain-specific expertise required
-- Need to maintain context/memory
-- Restricted to specific data/folders
-- Personal or specialized use case
-
-### Choose Module Agent when:
-
-- Part of larger system/module
-- Needs multiple workflows
-- Professional/team use
-- Complex multi-step processes
-
-## Migration Path
-
-```
-Simple Agent → Expert Agent → Module Agent
-```
-
-Agents can evolve:
-
-1. Start with Simple for proof of concept
-2. Add sidecar resources to become Expert
-3. Integrate with module to become Module Agent
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Start Simple:** Begin with the simplest type that meets your needs
-2. **Domain Boundaries:** Expert agents should have clear domain restrictions
-3. **Module Integration:** Module agents should follow module conventions
-4. **Resource Management:** Document all external resources clearly
-5. **Evolution Planning:** Design with potential growth in mind

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

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

-# 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!
-```

-The code coverage report is ready for your perusal at your convenience.
-Very good, sir/madam.
-```
-
-**Zen Master**
-
-```

-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**

-```
-
-### 🚀 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.

-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

-```
-
-### 📺 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?!

-```
-
-**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!

-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

-# 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
-
-```

-
-## 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
-

-# 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

-
-## Example Module Patterns
-
-### Professional Domains
-
-- **DevOps Suite**: Deploy, Monitor, Troubleshoot agents + deployment workflows
-- **Marketing Engine**: Content, SEO, Analytics agents + campaign workflows
-- **Legal Assistant**: Contract, Research, Review agents + document workflows
-
-### Creative Domains
-
-- **RPG Toolkit**: DM, NPC, Quest agents + adventure creation workflows
-- **Story Crafter**: Plot, Character, World agents + writing workflows
-- **Music Producer**: Composer, Arranger, Mixer agents + production workflows
-
-### Personal Domains
-
-- **Life Coach**: Planner, Tracker, Mentor agents + productivity workflows
-- **Learning Companion**: Tutor, Quiz, Reviewer agents + study workflows
-- **Health Guide**: Nutrition, Fitness, Wellness agents + tracking workflows
-
-## Suggested Brainstorming Techniques
-
-Particularly effective for module ideation:
-
-1. **Domain Immersion**: Deep dive into target domain's problems
-2. **Persona Mapping**: Who needs this and what do they struggle with?
-3. **Workflow Mapping**: What processes exist today? How could they improve?
-4. **Team Building**: What personalities would make a great team?
-5. **Integration Thinking**: How do pieces connect and amplify each other?
-
-## Key Questions to Answer
-
-1. What domain expertise should this module embody?
-2. What would users be able to do that they can't do now?
-3. Who are the 3-7 agents and what are their personalities?
-4. What are the 5-10 core workflows?
-5. What makes this module delightful to use?
-6. How is this different from existing tools?
-7. What's the "killer feature" that makes this essential?
-
-## Output Goals
-
-Generate:
-
-- **Module concept**: Clear vision and purpose
-- **Agent roster**: Names, roles, personalities for each agent
-- **Workflow list**: Core workflows with brief descriptions
-- **Unique angle**: What makes this module special
-- **Use cases**: 3-5 concrete scenarios where this module shines

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

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

-```
-
-## 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!

-
-## 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
-
-## Version History
-
-- **v6.0.0** - README.md now MANDATORY for all workflows
-  - Added comprehensive README template
-  - Enhanced validation for documentation
-  - Improved Step 10 with detailed README requirements
-

-# 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

-- 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>`

-   - 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"

-   - 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'
-  description: 'Game brainstorming with CIS workflow'
-  author: 'BMad'
-  instructions: 'bmad/bmm/workflows/brainstorm-game/instructions.md'
-  template: false
-  web_bundle_files:
-    - 'bmad/bmm/workflows/brainstorm-game/instructions.md'
-    - 'bmad/mmm/workflows/brainstorm-game/game-context.md'
-    - 'bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml'
-  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
-    </step>
-

-## 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
-
-- [ ] All sections present
-- [ ] No placeholders remain
-- [ ] Proper formatting
-
-## Content Quality
-
-- [ ] Clear and specific
-- [ ] Technically accurate
-- [ ] Consistent terminology
-
-## Completeness
-
-- [ ] Ready for next phase
-- [ ] Dependencies documented
-- [ ] Action items defined
-```
-
-### Making Criteria Measurable
-
-❌ `- [ ] Good documentation`
-✅ `- [ ] Each function has JSDoc comments with parameters and return types`
-
-## Examples
-
-### Document Generation
-
-```xml
-<workflow>
-<step n="1" goal="Gather context">
-Load existing documents and understand project scope.
-<template-output>context</template-output>
-</step>
-
-<step n="2" goal="Define requirements">
-Create functional and non-functional requirements.
-<template-output>requirements</template-output>
-<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'

-## 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

-
-**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>
-<action>For each candidate conversion:

-# 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
