3af3d33d4a feat: enhance QA agent as senior developer with code review capabilities and major brownfield improvements
This release introduces significant enhancements across multiple areas:

QA Agent Transformation:
- Transform QA agent into senior developer role with active code refactoring abilities
- Add review-story task enabling QA to review, refactor, and improve code directly
- Integrate QA review step into standard development workflow (SM → Dev → QA)
- QA can fix small issues directly and leave checklist for remaining items
- Updated dev agent to maintain File List for QA review focus

Knowledge Base Improvements:
- Add extensive brownfield development documentation and best practices
- Clarify Web UI vs IDE usage with cost optimization strategies
- Document PRD-first approach for large codebases/monorepos
- Add comprehensive expansion packs explanation
- Update IDE workflow to include QA review step
- Clarify agent usage (bmad-master vs specialized agents)

Brownfield Enhancements:
- Create comprehensive Working in the Brownfield guide
- Add document-project task to analyst agent capabilities
- Implement PRD-first workflow option for focused documentation
- Transform document-project to create practical brownfield architecture docs
- Document technical debt, workarounds, and real-world constraints
- Reference actual files instead of duplicating content
- Add impact analysis when PRD is provided

Documentation Task Improvements:
- Simplify to always create ONE unified architecture document
- Add deep codebase analysis phase with targeted questions
- Focus on documenting reality including technical debt
- Include Quick Reference section with key file paths
- Add practical sections: useful commands, debugging tips, known issues

Workflow Updates:
- Update all 6 workflow files with detailed IDE transition instructions
- Add clear SM → Dev → QA → Dev cycle explanation
- Emphasize Gemini Web for brownfield analysis (1M+ context advantage)
- Support both PRD-first and document-first approaches

This release significantly improves the brownfield development experience and introduces a powerful shift-left QA approach with senior developer mentoring.

45110ffffe feat(dev-agent): add quality gates to prevent task completion with failing validations (#261)
Issue Being Solved:
Dev agent was marking tasks as complete even when tests/lint/typecheck failed,
causing broken code to reach merge and creating technical debt.

Gap in System:
Missing explicit quality gates in dev agent configuration to block task completion
until all automated validations pass.

Solution:
- Add "Quality Gate Discipline" core principle
- Update task execution flow: Execute validations→Only if ALL pass→Update [x]
- Add "Failing validations" to blocking conditions
- Simplify completion criteria to focus on validation success

Alignment with BMAD Core Principles:
- Quality-First: Prevents defective code progression through workflow
- Agent Excellence: Ensures dev agent maintains high standards
- Technology Agnostic: Uses generic "validations" concept vs specific tools

Small, focused change that strengthens existing dev agent without architectural changes.

5c8485d09f fix: resolve web bundles directory path when using relative paths in NPX installer
When users enter "." as the installation directory, the web bundles directory
path was not being resolved correctly, causing the bundles to not be copied.
This fix ensures the web bundles directory is resolved using the same logic
as the main installation directory, resolving relative paths from the original
working directory where npx was executed.

### Bug Fixes

* installer has fast v4 update option now to keep the bmad method up to date with changes easily without breaking any customizations from the user. The SM and DEV are much more configurable to find epics stories and architectureal information when the prd and architecture are deviant from v4 templates and/or have not been sharded. so a config will give the user the option to configure the SM to use the full large documents or the sharded versions! ([aea7f3c](aea7f3cc86))
* prevent double installation when updating v4 ([af0e767](af0e767ecf))
* resolve undefined config properties in performUpdate ([0185e01](0185e012bb))
* update file-manager to properly handle YAML manifest files ([724cdd0](724cdd07a1))

### Features

* add early v4 detection for improved update flow ([29e7bbf](29e7bbf4c5))
* add file resolution context for IDE agents ([74d9bb4](74d9bb4b2b))
* update web builder to remove IDE-specific properties from agent bundles ([2f2a1e7](2f2a1e72d6))

aea7f3cc86 fix: installer has fast v4 update option now to keep the bmad method up to date with changes easily without breaking any customizations from the user. The SM and DEV are much more configurable to find epics stories and architectureal information when the prd and architecture are deviant from v4 templates and/or have not been sharded. so a config will give the user the option to configure the SM to use the full large documents or the sharded versions! 2025-06-19 12:55:16 -05:00

# BMAD Knowledge Base
## Overview
BMAD-METHOD (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-driven Development) is a framework that combines AI agents with Agile development methodologies. The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments.
### Key Features
- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role
- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization
- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs
- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists
- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control
## Core Philosophy
### Vibe CEO'ing
You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to:
- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives
- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality
- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents
### Core Principles
1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate.
2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs.
3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment.
4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process.
5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs.
6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs.
7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand.
8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges.

# Core Dump Task
## Purpose
To create a concise memory recording file (`.ai/core-dump-n.md`) that captures the essential context of the current agent session, enabling seamless continuation of work in future agent sessions. This task ensures persistent context across agent conversations while maintaining minimal token usage for efficient context loading.
## Inputs for this Task
- Current session conversation history and accomplishments
- Files created, modified, or deleted during the session
- Key decisions made and procedures followed
- Current project state and next logical steps
- User requests and agent responses that shaped the session
## Task Execution Instructions
### 0. Check Existing Core Dump
Before proceeding, check if `.ai/core-dump.md` already exists:
- If file exists, ask user: "Core dump file exists. Should I: 1. Overwrite, 2. Update, 3. Append or 4. Create new?"
- **Overwrite**: Replace entire file with new content
- **Update**: Merge new session info with existing content, updating relevant sections
- **Append**: Add new session as a separate entry while preserving existing content
- **Create New**: Create a new file, appending the next possible -# to the file, such as core-dump-3.md if 1 and 2 already exist.
- If file doesn't exist, proceed with creation of `core-dump-1.md`
### 1. Analyze Session Context
- Review the entire conversation to identify key accomplishments
- Note any specific tasks, procedures, or workflows that were executed
- Identify important decisions made or problems solved
- Capture the user's working style and preferences observed during the session
### 2. Document What Was Accomplished
- **Primary Actions**: List the main tasks completed concisely
- **Story Progress**: For story work, use format "Tasks Complete: 1-6, 8. Next Task Pending: 7, 9"
- **Problem Solving**: Document any challenges encountered and how they were resolved
- **User Communications**: Summarize key user requests, preferences, and discussion points
### 3. Record File System Changes (Concise Format)
- **Files Created**: `filename.ext` (brief purpose/size)
- **Files Modified**: `filename.ext` (what changed)
- **Files Deleted**: `filename.ext` (why removed)
- Focus on essential details, avoid verbose descriptions
### 4. Capture Current Project State
- **Project Progress**: Where the project stands after this session
- **Current Issues**: Any blockers or problems that need resolution
- **Next Logical Steps**: What would be the natural next actions to take
### 5. Create/Update Core Dump File
Based on user's choice from step 0, handle the file accordingly:
### 6. Optimize for Minimal Context
- Keep descriptions concise but informative
- Use abbreviated formats where possible (file sizes, task numbers)
- Focus on actionable information rather than detailed explanations
- Avoid redundant information that can be found in project documentation
- Prioritize information that would be lost without this recording
- Ensure the file can be quickly scanned and understood
### 7. Validate Completeness
- Verify all significant session activities are captured
- Ensure a future agent could understand the current state
- Check that file changes are accurately recorded
- Confirm next steps are clear and actionable
- Verify user communication style and preferences are noted

# Create Document from Template Task
## Purpose
- Generate documents from any specified template following embedded instructions from the perspective of the selected agent persona
## Instructions
### 1. Identify Template and Context
- Determine which template to use (user-provided or list available for selection to user)
- Agent-specific templates are listed in the agent's dependencies under `templates`. For each template listed, consider it a document the agent can create. So if an agent has:
@{example}
dependencies:
templates: - prd-tmpl - architecture-tmpl
@{/example}
You would offer to create "PRD" and "Architecture" documents when the user asks what you can help with.
- Gather all relevant inputs, or ask for them, or else rely on user providing necessary details to complete the document
- Understand the document purpose and target audience
### 2. Determine Interaction Mode
Confirm with the user their preferred interaction style:
- **Incremental:** Work through chunks of the document.
- **YOLO Mode:** Draft complete document making reasonable assumptions in one shot. (Can be entered also after starting incremental by just typing /yolo)
### 3. Execute Template
- Load specified template from `templates#*` or the /templates directory
- Follow ALL embedded LLM instructions within the template
- Process template markup according to `utils#template-format` conventions
### 4. Template Processing Rules
#### CRITICAL: Never display template markup, LLM instructions, or examples to users
- Replace all {{placeholders}} with actual content
- Execute all [[LLM: instructions]] internally
- Process `<<REPEAT>>` sections as needed
- Evaluate ^^CONDITION^^ blocks and include only if applicable
- Use @{examples} for guidance but never output them
### 5. Content Generation
- **Incremental Mode**: Present each major section for review before proceeding
- **YOLO Mode**: Generate all sections, then review complete document with user
- Apply any elicitation protocols specified in template
- Incorporate user feedback and iterate as needed
### 6. Validation
If template specifies a checklist:
- Run the appropriate checklist against completed document
- Document completion status for each item
- Address any deficiencies found
- Present validation summary to user
### 7. Final Presentation
- Present clean, formatted content only
- Ensure all sections are complete
- DO NOT truncate or summarize content
- Begin directly with document content (no preamble)
- Include any handoff prompts specified in template
## Important Notes
- Template markup is for AI processing only - never expose to users

# Create Expansion Pack Task
This task helps you create a comprehensive BMAD expansion pack that can include new agents, tasks, templates, and checklists for a specific domain.
## Understanding Expansion Packs
Expansion packs extend BMAD with domain-specific capabilities. They are self-contained packages that can be installed into any BMAD project. Every expansion pack MUST include a custom BMAD orchestrator agent that manages the domain-specific workflow.
## CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS
1. **Create Planning Document First**: Before any implementation, create a concise task list for user approval
2. **Verify All References**: Any task, template, or data file referenced in an agent MUST exist in the pack
3. **Include Orchestrator**: Every pack needs a custom BMAD-style orchestrator agent
4. **User Data Requirements**: Clearly specify any files users must provide in their data folder
## Process Overview
### Phase 1: Discovery and Planning
#### 1.1 Define the Domain
Ask the user:
- **Pack Name**: Short identifier (e.g., `healthcare`, `fintech`, `gamedev`)
- **Display Name**: Full name (e.g., "Healthcare Compliance Pack")
- **Description**: What domain or industry does this serve?
- **Key Problems**: What specific challenges will this pack solve?
- **Target Users**: Who will benefit from this expansion?
#### 1.2 Gather Examples
Request from the user:
- **Sample Documents**: Any existing documents in this domain
- **Workflow Examples**: How work currently flows in this domain
- **Compliance Needs**: Any regulatory or standards requirements
- **Output Examples**: What final deliverables look like
- **Data Requirements**: What reference data files users will need to provide
#### 1.3 Create Planning Document
IMPORTANT: STOP HERE AND CREATE PLAN FIRST
Create `expansion-packs/{pack-name}/plan.md` with:
```markdown
# {Pack Name} Expansion Pack Plan

## Interactive Questions Flow
### Initial Discovery
1. "What domain or industry will this expansion pack serve?"
2. "What are the main challenges or workflows in this domain?"
3. "Do you have any example documents or outputs? (Please share)"
4. "What specialized roles/experts exist in this domain?"
5. "What reference data will users need to provide?"
### Planning Phase
1. "Here's the proposed plan. Please review and approve before we continue."
### Orchestrator Design
1. "What key commands should the {pack-name} orchestrator support?"
2. "What's the typical workflow from start to finish?"
3. "How should it integrate with core BMAD agents?"
### Agent Planning
1. "For agent '{name}', what is their specific expertise?"
2. "What tasks will this agent reference? (I'll create them)"
3. "What templates will this agent use? (I'll create them)"
4. "What data files will this agent need? (You'll provide these)"
### Task Design
1. "Describe the '{task}' process step-by-step"
2. "What information is needed to complete this task?"
3. "What should the output look like?"
### Template Creation
1. "What sections should the '{template}' document have?"
2. "Are there any required formats or standards?"
3. "Can you provide an example of a completed document?"
### Data Requirements
1. "For {data-file}, what information should it contain?"
2. "What format should this data be in?"
3. "Can you provide a sample?"
## Important Considerations
- **Plan First**: ALWAYS create and get approval for plan.md before implementing
- **Orchestrator Required**: Every pack MUST have a custom BMAD orchestrator
- **Verify References**: ALL referenced tasks/templates MUST exist
- **Document Data Needs**: Clearly specify what users must provide
- **Domain Expertise**: Ensure accuracy in specialized fields
- **Compliance**: Include necessary regulatory requirements
## Tips for Success
1. **Plan Thoroughly**: The plan.md prevents missing components
2. **Build Orchestrator First**: It defines the overall workflow
3. **Verify As You Go**: Check off items in plan.md
4. **Test References**: Ensure no broken dependencies
5. **Document Data**: Users need clear data file instructions
## Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. **Missing Orchestrator**: Every pack needs its own BMAD-style orchestrator
2. **Orphaned References**: Agent references task that doesn't exist
3. **Unclear Data Needs**: Not specifying required user data files
4. **Skipping Plan**: Going straight to implementation
5. **Generic Orchestrator**: Not making it domain-specific
## Completion Checklist
- [ ] plan.md created and approved
- [ ] All plan.md items checked off
- [ ] Orchestrator agent created
- [ ] All agent references verified
- [ ] Data requirements documented or added
- [ ] README includes all setup instructions
- [ ] manifest.yml reflects actual files

# Create Team Task
This task guides you through creating a new BMAD agent team that conforms to the agent-team schema and effectively combines agents for specific project types.
**Note for User-Created Teams**: If creating a custom team for your own use (not part of the core BMAD system), prefix the team name with a period (e.g., `.team-frontend`) to ensure it's gitignored and won't conflict with repository updates.
## Prerequisites
1. Load and understand the team schema: `/bmad-core/schemas/agent-team-schema.yml`
2. Review existing teams in `/bmad-core/agent-teams/` for patterns and naming conventions
3. List available agents from `/agents/` to understand team composition options
4. Review workflows in `/bmad-core/workflows/` to align team capabilities
## Process
### 1. Define Team Purpose and Scope
Before selecting agents, clarify the team's mission:
- **Team Purpose**: What specific problems will this team solve?
- **Project Types**: Greenfield, brownfield, or both?
- **Technical Scope**: UI-focused, backend-only, or full-stack?
- **Team Size Consideration**: Smaller teams (3-5 agents) for focused work, larger teams (6-8) for comprehensive coverage
### 2. Create Team Metadata
Based on the schema requirements:
- **Team Name**: Must follow pattern `^Team .+$` (e.g., "Team Frontend", "Team Analytics")
- For user teams: prefix with period (e.g., "Team .MyCustom")
- **Description**: 20-500 characters explaining team's purpose, capabilities, and use cases
- **File Name**: `/bmad-core/agent-teams/team-{identifier}.yml`
- For user teams: `/bmad-core/agent-teams/.team-{identifier}.yml`
### 3. Select Agents Based on Purpose
#### Discover Available Agents
1. List all agents from `/agents/` directory
2. Review each agent's role and capabilities
3. Consider agent synergies and coverage
#### Agent Selection Guidelines
Based on team purpose, recommend agents:
**For Planning & Strategy Teams:**
- `bmad` (required orchestrator)
- `analyst` - Requirements gathering and research
- `pm` - Product strategy and documentation
- `po` - Validation and approval
- `architect` - Technical planning (if technical planning needed)
**For Design & UX Teams:**
- `bmad` (required orchestrator)
- `ux-expert` - User experience design
- `architect` - Frontend architecture
- `pm` - Product requirements alignment
- `po` - Design validation
**For Development Teams:**
- `bmad-orchestrator` (required)
- `sm` - Sprint coordination
- `dev` - Implementation
- `qa` - Quality assurance
- `architect` - Technical guidance
**For Full-Stack Teams:**
- `bmad-orchestrator` (required)
- `analyst` - Initial planning
- `pm` - Product management
- `ux-expert` - UI/UX design (if UI work included)
- `architect` - System architecture
- `po` - Validation
- Additional agents as needed
#### Special Cases
- **Using Wildcard**: If team needs all agents, use `["bmad", "*"]`
- **Validation**: Schema requires `bmad` in all teams
### 4. Select Workflows
Based on the schema's workflow enum values and team composition:
1. **Analyze team capabilities** against available workflows:
- `brownfield-fullstack` - Requires full team with UX
- `brownfield-service` - Backend-focused team
- `brownfield-ui` - UI/UX-focused team
- `greenfield-fullstack` - Full team for new projects
- `greenfield-service` - Backend team for new services
- `greenfield-ui` - Frontend team for new UIs
2. **Match workflows to agents**:
- UI workflows require `ux-expert`
- Service workflows benefit from `architect` and `dev`
- All workflows benefit from planning agents (`analyst`, `pm`)
3. **Apply schema validation rules**:
- Teams without `ux-expert` shouldn't have UI workflows
- Teams named "Team No UI" can't have UI workflows
### 5. Create Team Configuration
Generate the configuration following the schema:
```yaml
bundle:
name: "{Team Name}" # Must match pattern "^Team .+$"
description: >-
{20-500 character description explaining purpose,
capabilities, and ideal use cases}
agents:
- bmad # Required orchestrator
- { agent-id-1 }
- { agent-id-2 }
# ... additional agents
workflows:
- { workflow-1 } # From enum list
- { workflow-2 }
# ... additional workflows
```
### 6. Validate Team Composition
Before finalizing, verify:
1. **Role Coverage**: Does the team have all necessary skills for its workflows?
2. **Size Optimization**:
- Minimum: 2 agents (bmad + 1)
- Recommended: 3-7 agents
- Maximum with wildcard: bmad + "\*"
3. **Workflow Alignment**: Can the selected agents execute all workflows?
4. **Schema Compliance**: Configuration matches all schema requirements
### 7. Integration Recommendations
Document how this team integrates with existing system:
1. **Complementary Teams**: Which existing teams complement this one?
2. **Handoff Points**: Where does this team hand off to others?
3. **Use Case Scenarios**: Specific project types ideal for this team
### 8. Validation and Testing
1. **Schema Validation**: Ensure configuration matches agent-team-schema.yml
2. **Build Validation**: Run `npm run validate`
3. **Build Team**: Run `npm run build:team -t {team-name}`
4. **Size Check**: Verify output is appropriate for target platform
5. **Test Scenarios**: Run sample workflows with the team
## Example Team Creation
### Example 1: API Development Team
```yaml
bundle:
name: "Team API"
description: >-
Specialized team for API and backend service development. Focuses on
robust service architecture, implementation, and testing without UI
components. Ideal for microservices, REST APIs, and backend systems.
agents:
- bmad
- analyst
- architect
- dev
- qa
- po
workflows:
- greenfield-service
- brownfield-service
```
### Example 2: Rapid Prototyping Team
```yaml
bundle:
name: "Team Prototype"
description: >-
Agile team for rapid prototyping and proof of concept development.
Combines planning, design, and implementation for quick iterations
on new ideas and experimental features.
agents:
- bmad
- pm
- ux-expert
- architect
- dev
workflows:
- greenfield-ui
- greenfield-fullstack
```
## Team Creation Checklist
- [ ] Team purpose clearly defined
- [ ] Name follows schema pattern "Team {Name}"
- [ ] Description is 20-500 characters
- [ ] Includes bmad orchestrator
- [ ] Agents align with team purpose
- [ ] Workflows match team capabilities
- [ ] No conflicting validations (e.g., no-UI team with UI workflows)
- [ ] Configuration validates against schema
- [ ] Build completes successfully
- [ ] Output size appropriate for platform
## Best Practices
1. **Start Focused**: Create teams with specific purposes rather than general-purpose teams
2. **Consider Workflow**: Order agents by typical workflow sequence
3. **Avoid Redundancy**: Don't duplicate roles unless needed
4. **Document Rationale**: Explain why each agent is included
5. **Test Integration**: Verify team works well with selected workflows
6. **Iterate**: Refine team composition based on usage
This schema-driven approach ensures teams are well-structured, purposeful, and integrate seamlessly with the BMAD ecosystem.

# Document Migration Task
## Purpose
Migrate BMAD-METHOD documents to match V4 template structure exactly, preserving all content while enforcing strict template compliance.
## Task Requirements
1. **Input**: User MUST specify the document to migrate (e.g., `docs/prd.md`)
2. **Template**: User MUST specify the V4 template to use (e.g., `.bmad-core/templates/prd-tmpl.md`)
3. **Validation**: Verify document and template are compatible types
4. **Output**: Creates migrated document with original name, backs up original with `.bak` extension
[[LLM: VALIDATION REQUIREMENTS:
- Both input document and template paths MUST be provided by the user
- Do NOT assume or select templates automatically
- Validate that document type matches template type (e.g., PRD → PRD template)
- Reject incompatible migrations (e.g., PRD → architecture template)
]]
## Migration Rules
### Strict Template Compliance
[[LLM: CRITICAL RULES:
1. The ONLY Level 2 headings (##) allowed are EXACTLY those in the V4 template
2. No additions, no removals, no modifications to Level 2 headings
3. All user content must be preserved and placed under appropriate template sections
4. Remove any existing table of contents
5. Never delete user content - find the most appropriate section
6. DO NOT add any LLM prompts, placeholders, or "TBD" content
7. Leave empty sections empty - no instructions or guidance text
]]
### Content Migration Process
1. **Read Template Structure**
- Extract all Level 2 headings from the V4 template
- These are the ONLY Level 2 headings allowed in the final document
2. **Analyze Original Document**
- Identify all content blocks
- Note original section organization
- Flag any custom sections
3. **Create Backup First**
- Rename original file: `mv filename.md filename.md.bak`
- This preserves the original completely
4. **Create New File**
- Create new `filename.md` from scratch
- Start with template structure (all Level 2 headings)
- For each content block from original:
- Find the most appropriate V4 template section
- If original had Level 2 heading not in template, demote to Level 3
- Preserve all text, lists, code blocks, diagrams, tables
- Remove only table of contents sections
- **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT add any LLM prompts, placeholders, or instructions
- If a template section has no matching content, leave it empty
5. **Validate Content Preservation**
- For each major content block from original (excluding headings):
- Use grep or search to verify it exists in new file
- Report any content that couldn't be verified
- This ensures no accidental content loss
## Example Migration
```markdown
Original (prd.md):
## Executive Summary
[content...]
## Custom Feature Section
[content...]
## Table of Contents
[toc...]
Template (prd-tmpl.md):
## Goals and Background Context
## Functional Requirements
## Success Metrics and KPIs
Result (prd.md):
## Goals and Background Context
[executive summary content moved here]
### Custom Feature Section
[content preserved but demoted to Level 3]
## Functional Requirements
## Success Metrics and KPIs
```
## Execution Instructions
[[LLM: When executing this task:
1. Ask user for BOTH: input file path AND template path (do not assume)
2. Validate compatibility:
- Check document title/type (PRD, Architecture, etc.)
- Ensure template matches document type
- REJECT if types don't match (e.g., "Cannot migrate PRD to architecture template")
3. Read both files completely
4. Rename original to .bak: `mv original.md original.md.bak`
5. Extract Level 2 headings from template - these are MANDATORY
6. Create NEW file with original name
7. Build new content:
- Start with all template Level 2 sections
- Map original content to appropriate sections
- Demote any non-template Level 2 headings to Level 3
- Leave empty sections empty (no placeholders or instructions)
8. Validate content preservation:
- Extract key content snippets from .bak file
- Use grep to verify each exists in new file
- Report any missing content
9. Report migration summary:
- Sections moved/demoted
- Content validation results
- Any manual review needed
]]
### Document Type Detection
[[LLM: Detect document type by examining:
- File name (prd.md, architecture.md, etc.)
- Main title (# Product Requirements Document, # Architecture, etc.)
- Content patterns (user stories → PRD, technology stack → Architecture)
Template compatibility:
- prd-tmpl.md → Only for PRD documents
- architecture-tmpl.md → Only for backend/single architecture
- full-stack-architecture-tmpl.md → Only for architecture documents (can merge multiple)
]]
## Common Migrations
Valid migrations:
- `prd.md``.bmad-core/templates/prd-tmpl.md`
- `architecture.md``.bmad-core/templates/architecture-tmpl.md`
- `architecture.md` + `front-end-architecture.md``.bmad-core/templates/full-stack-architecture-tmpl.md`
Invalid migrations (MUST REJECT):
- `prd.md``.bmad-core/templates/architecture-tmpl.md`
- `architecture.md``.bmad-core/templates/prd-tmpl.md`
- `ux-ui-spec.md``.bmad-core/templates/prd-tmpl.md`
## Validation
After migration verify:
- [ ] All Level 2 headings match template exactly
- [ ] All original content is preserved (use grep validation)
- [ ] No table of contents remains
- [ ] Backup file exists with .bak extension
- [ ] Custom sections demoted to Level 3 or lower
### Content Validation Example
[[LLM: Example validation approach:
1. Extract significant text blocks from .bak file (>20 words)
2. For each block, grep in new file:
```bash
grep -F "first 10-15 words of content block" newfile.md
```
3. Track validation results:
- ✓ Found: content successfully migrated
- ✗ Missing: needs investigation
4. Report any content that couldn't be found

# Create AI Frontend Prompt Task
## Purpose
To generate a masterful, comprehensive, and optimized prompt that can be used with AI-driven frontend development tools (e.g., Lovable, Vercel v0, or similar) to scaffold or generate significant portions of the frontend application.
## Inputs
- Completed UI/UX Specification (`front-end-spec-tmpl`)
- Completed Frontend Architecture Document (`front-end-architecture`)
- Main System Architecture Document (`architecture` - for API contracts and tech stack)
- Primary Design Files (Figma, Sketch, etc. - for visual context if the tool can accept it or if descriptions are needed)
## Key Activities & Instructions
1. **Confirm Target AI Generation Platform:**
- Ask the user to specify which AI frontend generation tool/platform they intend to use (e.g., "Lovable.ai", "Vercel v0", "GPT-4 with direct code generation instructions", etc.).
- Explain that prompt optimization might differ slightly based on the platform's capabilities and preferred input format.
2. **Synthesize Inputs into a Structured Prompt:**
- **Overall Project Context:**
- Briefly state the project's purpose (from brief/PRD).
- Specify the chosen frontend framework, core libraries, and UI component library (from `front-end-architecture` and main `architecture`).
- Mention the styling approach (e.g., Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules).
- **Design System & Visuals:**
- Reference the primary design files (e.g., Figma link).
- If the tool doesn't directly ingest design files, describe the overall visual style, color palette, typography, and key branding elements (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`).
- List any global UI components or design tokens that should be defined or adhered to.
- **Application Structure & Routing:**
- Describe the main pages/views and their routes (from `front-end-architecture` - Routing Strategy).
- Outline the navigation structure (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`).
- **Key User Flows & Page-Level Interactions:**
- For a few critical user flows (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`):
- Describe the sequence of user actions and expected UI changes on each relevant page.
- Specify API calls to be made (referencing API endpoints from the main `architecture`) and how data should be displayed or used.
- **Component Generation Instructions (Iterative or Key Components):**
- Based on the chosen AI tool's capabilities, decide on a strategy:
- **Option 1 (Scaffolding):** Prompt for the generation of main page structures, layouts, and placeholders for components.
- **Option 2 (Key Component Generation):** Select a few critical or complex components from the `front-end-architecture` (Component Breakdown) and provide detailed specifications for them (props, state, basic behavior, key UI elements).
- **Option 3 (Holistic, if tool supports):** Attempt to describe the entire application structure and key components more broadly.
- <important_note>Advise the user that generating an entire complex application perfectly in one go is rare. Iterative prompting or focusing on sections/key components is often more effective.</important_note>
- **State Management (High-Level Pointers):**
- Mention the chosen state management solution (e.g., "Use Redux Toolkit").
- For key pieces of data, indicate if they should be managed in global state.
- **API Integration Points:**
- For pages/components that fetch or submit data, clearly state the relevant API endpoints (from `architecture`) and the expected data shapes (can reference schemas in `data-models` or `api-reference` sections of the architecture doc).
- **Critical "Don'ts" or Constraints:**
- e.g., "Do not use deprecated libraries." "Ensure all forms have basic client-side validation."
- **Platform-Specific Optimizations:**
- If the chosen AI tool has known best practices for prompting (e.g., specific keywords, structure, level of detail), incorporate them. (This might require the agent to have some general knowledge or to ask the user if they know any such specific prompt modifiers for their chosen tool).
3. **Present and Refine the Master Prompt:**
- Output the generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block).
- Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included.
- Work with the user to refine the prompt based on their knowledge of the target AI tool and any specific nuances they want to emphasize.
- <important_note>Remind the user that the generated code from the AI tool will likely require review, testing, and further refinement by developers.</important_note>

# Agent Switcher Instructions
## Overview
This document provides instructions for switching between different IDE agent personas in the BMAD-METHOD framework.
## Behavior
### Listing Available Agents
When no agent name is provided:
1. Read the `bmad-core/ide-agents/` directory
2. Look for files matching the pattern `*.ide.md`
3. Extract agent names from filenames (the part before `.ide.md`)
4. Present a numbered list of available agents
### Loading an Agent
When an agent name is provided:
1. Attempt to load `bmad-core/ide-agents/{agent-name}.ide.md`
2. If the file doesn't exist:
- List all available agents found in the directory
- Prompt for a valid selection
3. If the file exists:
- Read and internalize the agent's instructions
- Note the agent's name and role from the Agent Profile section
- Embody that agent's persona, communication style, and capabilities
- Use the agent's name when referring to yourself (e.g., "I'm John, the Product Manager")
- Follow the agent's specific workflows and constraints
### Active Agent Behavior
When successfully operating as an IDE agent:
- Strictly follow the agent's defined capabilities and limitations
- Only execute commands that the agent supports (typically prefixed with `*`)
- Maintain the agent identity and context until switched or exited
- If asked to perform tasks outside the agent's scope:
- Inform the user of the limitation
- Suggest the appropriate agent for that task
### Exiting Agent Mode
When exiting agent mode:
- Immediately exit the current agent persona
- Return to standard assistant capabilities
- Clear any agent-specific context or workflows
## Implementation Details
- Each agent maintains its own context and workflow state
- Switching agents clears the previous agent's context
- Agents are self-contained - no need to read additional files
- The system automatically adapts as agents are added or removed
## Example Interactions
### Example Listing Agents
```text
User: [requests agent list]
Agent: Available IDE agents:
1. architect
2. dev
3. devops
4. pm
5. po
6. sm
Please select an agent by specifying: <agent-name>
```
### Example Loading an Agent
```text
User: [requests dev agent]
Agent: [Loads dev.ide.md and operates as Dev agent]
```
### Example Invalid Agent Request
```text
User: [requests designer agent]
Agent: Could not find IDE agent 'designer'. Available agents:
1. architect
2. dev
3. devops
4. pm
5. po
6. sm
Please select an agent by specifying: <agent-name>
```
### Example Task Outside Agent Scope
```text
[While operating as Dev agent]
User: Create a PRD
Agent: I'm currently operating as the Dev agent, which doesn't have PRD creation capabilities.
The PM agent can create PRDs. Would you like me to switch to the PM agent?
```
### Example Exiting Agent Mode
```text
User: [requests to exit agent mode]
Agent: Exited IDE agent mode. Returned to standard assistant capabilities.

# Workflow Management
This utility enables the BMAD orchestrator to manage and execute team workflows.
## Important: Dynamic Workflow Loading
The BMAD orchestrator MUST read the available workflows from the current team configuration's `workflows` field. Do not use hardcoded workflow lists. Each team bundle defines its own set of supported workflows based on the agents it includes.
**Critical Distinction**:
- When asked "what workflows are available?", show ONLY the workflows defined in the current team bundle's configuration
- The create-\* tasks (create-agent, create-team, etc.) are for CREATING new configurations, not for listing what's available in the current session
- Use `/agent-list` to show agents in the current bundle, NOT the create-agent task
- Use `/workflows` to show workflows in the current bundle, NOT any creation tasks
### Workflow Descriptions
When displaying workflows, use these descriptions based on the workflow ID:
- **greenfield-fullstack**: Build a new full-stack application from concept to development
- **brownfield-fullstack**: Enhance an existing full-stack application with new features
- **greenfield-service**: Build a new backend service or API from concept to development
- **brownfield-service**: Enhance an existing backend service or API
- **greenfield-ui**: Build a new frontend/UI application from concept to development
- **brownfield-ui**: Enhance an existing frontend/UI application
## Workflow Commands
### /workflows
Lists all available workflows for the current team. The available workflows are determined by the team configuration and may include workflows such as:
- greenfield-fullstack
- brownfield-fullstack
- greenfield-service
- brownfield-service
- greenfield-ui
- brownfield-ui
The actual list depends on which team bundle is loaded. When responding to this command, display the workflows that are configured in the current team's `workflows` field.
Example response format:
```text
Available workflows for [Team Name]:
1. [workflow-id] - [Brief description based on workflow type]
2. [workflow-id] - [Brief description based on workflow type]
[... etc. ...]
Use /workflow-start {number or id} to begin a workflow.
```
### /workflow-start {workflow-id}
Starts a specific workflow and transitions to the first agent.
Example: `/workflow-start greenfield-fullstack`
### /workflow-status
Shows current workflow progress, completed artifacts, and next steps.
Example response:
```text
Current Workflow: Greenfield Full-Stack Development
Stage: Product Planning (2 of 6)
Completed:
✓ Discovery & Requirements
- project-brief (completed by Mary)
In Progress:
⚡ Product Planning
- Create PRD (John) - awaiting input
Next: Technical Architecture
```
### /workflow-resume
Resumes a workflow from where it left off, useful when starting a new chat.
User can provide completed artifacts:
```text
User: /workflow-resume greenfield-fullstack
I have completed: project-brief, PRD
BMad: I see you've completed Discovery and part of Product Planning.
Based on the greenfield-fullstack workflow, the next step is:
- UX Strategy with Sally (ux-expert)
Would you like me to load Sally to continue?
```
### /workflow-next
Shows the next recommended agent and action in the current workflow.
## Workflow Execution Flow
### 1. Starting a Workflow
When a workflow is started:
1. Load the workflow definition
2. Identify the first stage and step
3. Transition to the required agent
4. Provide context about expected inputs/outputs
5. Guide artifact creation
### 2. Stage Transitions
After each artifact is completed:
1. Mark the step as complete
2. Check transition conditions
3. If stage is complete, move to next stage
4. Load the appropriate agent
5. Pass relevant artifacts as context
### 3. Artifact Tracking
Track all created artifacts:
```yaml
workflow_state:
current_workflow: greenfield-fullstack
current_stage: planning
current_step: 2
artifacts:
project-brief:
status: completed
created_by: analyst
timestamp: 2024-01-15T10:30:00Z
prd:
status: in-progress
created_by: pm
started: 2024-01-15T11:00:00Z
```
### 4. Workflow Interruption Handling
When user returns after interruption:
1. Ask if continuing previous workflow
2. Request any completed artifacts
3. Analyze provided artifacts
4. Determine workflow position
5. Suggest next appropriate step
Example:
```text
User: I'm working on a new app. Here's my PRD and architecture doc.
BMad: I see you have a PRD and architecture document. Based on these artifacts,
it looks like you're following the greenfield-fullstack workflow and have completed
stages 1-3. The next recommended step would be:
Stage 4: Validation & Refinement
- Load Sarah (Product Owner) to validate all artifacts
Would you like to continue with this workflow?
```
## Workflow Context Passing
When transitioning between agents, pass:
1. Previous artifacts created
2. Current workflow stage
3. Expected outputs
4. Any decisions or constraints identified
Example transition:
```text
BMad: Great! John has completed the PRD. According to the greenfield-fullstack workflow,
the next step is UX Strategy with Sally.
/ux-expert
Sally: I see we're in the Product Planning stage of the greenfield-fullstack workflow.
I have access to:
- Project Brief from Mary
- PRD from John
Let's create the UX strategy and UI specifications. First, let me review
the PRD to understand the features we're designing for...
```
## Multi-Path Workflows
Some workflows may have multiple paths:
```yaml
conditional_paths:
- condition: "project_type == 'mobile'"
next_stage: mobile-specific-design
- condition: "project_type == 'web'"
next_stage: web-architecture
- default: fullstack-architecture
```
Handle these by asking clarifying questions when needed.
## Workflow Best Practices
1. **Always show progress** - Users should know where they are
2. **Explain transitions** - Why moving to next agent
3. **Preserve context** - Pass relevant information forward
4. **Allow flexibility** - Users can skip or modify steps
5. **Track everything** - Maintain complete workflow state
## Integration with Agents
Each agent should be workflow-aware:
- Know which workflow is active
- Understand their role in the workflow
- Access previous artifacts
- Know expected outputs
- Guide toward workflow goals
This creates a seamless experience where the entire team works together toward the workflow's objectives.

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

# Template Format Conventions
Templates in the BMAD method use standardized markup for AI processing. These conventions ensure consistent document generation.
## Template Markup Elements
- **{{placeholders}}**: Variables to be replaced with actual content
- **[[LLM: instructions]]**: Internal processing instructions for AI agents (never shown to users)
- **REPEAT** sections: Content blocks that may be repeated as needed
- **^^CONDITION^^** blocks: Conditional content included only if criteria are met
- **@{examples}**: Example content for guidance (never output to users)
## Processing Rules
- Replace all {{placeholders}} with project-specific content
- Execute all [[LLM: instructions]] internally without showing users
- Process conditional and repeat blocks as specified
- Use examples for guidance but never include them in final output
- Present only clean, formatted content to users
## Critical Guidelines
- **NEVER display template markup, LLM instructions, or examples to users**
- Template elements are for AI processing only
- Focus on faithful template execution and clean output
- All template-specific instructions are embedded within templates

# Roo Code Custom Modes for BMAD-METHOD
This directory contains custom mode configurations for Roo Code to enable BMAD agent personalities.
## Setup
The `.roomodes` file defines all BMAD agents as custom modes using the proper `customModes:` structure. Modes are automatically available in Roo Code when you open this project.
## Available Modes
- **bmad-analyst** - Business Analyst
- **bmad-architect** - Solution Architect
- **bmad-bmad-master** - BMAD Master
- **bmad-bmad-orchestrator** - BMAD Orchestrator
- **bmad-dev** - Developer
- **bmad-pm** - Product Manager
- **bmad-po** - Product Owner
- **bmad-qa** - QA Specialist
- **bmad-sm** - Scrum Master
- **bmad-ux-expert** - UX Expert
## Usage
In Roo Code:
1. Open the mode selector (usually in the status bar)
2. Select any BMAD agent mode
3. The AI will adopt that agent's personality and expertise
## File Permissions
Each agent has specific file access permissions:
- **Analysts, PM, PO, SM**: Limited to documentation files (.md, .txt)
- **Architect**: Architecture docs and configs (.md, .txt, .yml, .yaml, .json)
- **QA**: Test files and documentation
- **UX Expert**: Design-related files (.md, .css, .scss, .html, .jsx, .tsx)
- **Developer, Orchestrator, Master**: Full edit access to all files

### Pull Request Process
⚠️ **Before starting work:**
1. **For bugs**: Check if an issue exists (create one using the bug template if not)
2. **For features**: Ensure you've discussed in Discord (#general-dev) AND created a feature request issue
3. **For large changes**: Always open an issue first to discuss alignment
Please only propose small granular commits! If its large or significant, please discuss in the discussions tab and open up an issue first. I do not want you to waste your time on a potentially very large PR to have it rejected because it is not aligned or deviates from other planned changes. Communicate and lets work together to build and improve this great community project!
**Important**: All contributions must align with our [Guiding Principles](GUIDING-PRINCIPLES.md). Key points:
- Keep dev agents lean - they need context for coding, not documentation
- Web/planning agents can be larger with more complex tasks
- Everything is natural language (markdown) - no code in core framework
- Use expansion packs for domain-specific features
#### Which Branch for Your PR?
**Submit to `next` branch** (most contributions):
- ✨ New features or agents
- 🎨 Enhancements to existing features
- 📚 Documentation updates
- ♻️ Code refactoring
- ⚡ Performance improvements
- 🧪 New tests
- 🎁 New expansion packs
**Submit to `main` branch** (critical only):
- 🚨 Critical bug fixes that break basic functionality
- 🔒 Security patches
- 📚 Fixing dangerously incorrect documentation
- 🐛 Bugs preventing installation or basic usage
**When in doubt, submit to `next`**. We'd rather test changes thoroughly before they hit stable.
#### PR Size Guidelines
- **Ideal PR size**: 200-400 lines of code changes
- **Maximum PR size**: 800 lines (excluding generated files)
- **One feature/fix per PR**: Each PR should address a single issue or add one feature
- **If your change is larger**: Break it into multiple smaller PRs that can be reviewed independently
- **Related changes**: Even related changes should be separate PRs if they deliver independent value
#### Breaking Down Large PRs
If your change exceeds 800 lines, use this checklist to split it:
- [ ] Can I separate the refactoring from the feature implementation?
- [ ] Can I introduce the new API/interface in one PR and implementation in another?
- [ ] Can I split by file or module?
- [ ] Can I create a base PR with shared utilities first?
- [ ] Can I separate test additions from implementation?
- [ ] Even if changes are related, can they deliver value independently?
- [ ] Can these changes be merged in any order without breaking things?
Example breakdown:
1. PR #1: Add utility functions and types (100 lines)
2. PR #2: Refactor existing code to use utilities (200 lines)
3. PR #3: Implement new feature using refactored code (300 lines)
4. PR #4: Add comprehensive tests (200 lines)
**Note**: PRs #1 and #4 could be submitted simultaneously since they deliver independent value and don't depend on each other's merge order.
#### Pull Request Steps
1. Fork the repository
2. Create a new branch (`git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name`)
3. Make your changes

## Issue Templates
We use GitHub issue templates to ensure all necessary information is provided:
- **Bug Reports**: Automatically guides you through providing reproduction steps, environment details, and expected behavior
- **Feature Requests**: Requires Discord discussion confirmation and asks for problem/solution descriptions
Using these templates helps maintainers understand and address your contribution faster.
## Pull Request Description Guidelines
Keep PR descriptions short and to the point following this template:
### PR Description Template
Keep your PR description concise and focused. Use this template:
```markdown
## What
[1-2 sentences describing WHAT changed]
## Why
[1-2 sentences explaining WHY this change is needed]
Fixes #[issue number] (if applicable)
## How
[2-3 bullets listing HOW you implemented it]
-
-
-
## Testing
[1-2 sentences on how you tested this]
```
**Maximum PR description length: 200 words** (excluding code examples if needed)
### Good vs Bad PR Descriptions
**Bad Example:**
> This revolutionary PR introduces a paradigm-shifting enhancement to the system's architecture by implementing a state-of-the-art solution that leverages cutting-edge methodologies to optimize performance metrics and deliver unprecedented value to stakeholders through innovative approaches...
**Good Example:**
> **What:** Added validation for agent dependency resolution
> **Why:** Build was failing silently when agents had circular dependencies
> **How:**
>
> - Added cycle detection in dependency-resolver.js
> - Throws clear error with dependency chain
> **Testing:** Tested with circular deps between 3 agents
## Commit Message Convention
PRs with a wall of AI Generated marketing hype that is unclear in what is being proposed will be closed and rejected. Your best change to contribute is with a small clear PR description explaining, what is the issue being solved or gap in the system being filled. Also explain how it leads to the core guiding principles of the project.
Use conventional commits format:
- `feat:` New feature
- `fix:` Bug fix
- `docs:` Documentation only
- `refactor:` Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
- `test:` Adding missing tests
- `chore:` Changes to build process or auxiliary tools
Keep commit messages under 72 characters.
### Atomic Commits
Each commit should represent one logical change:
- **Do:** One bug fix per commit
- **Do:** One feature addition per commit
- **Don't:** Mix refactoring with bug fixes
- **Don't:** Combine unrelated changes

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

## 🔄 Important: Keeping Your BMad Installation Updated
**Stay up-to-date effortlessly!** If you already have BMad-METHOD installed in your project, simply run:
```bash
npx bmad-method install
# The installer will automatically detect your project state and guide you through:
# - Fresh installation or upgrade from v3
# - Full installation or single agent
# - Destination folder and IDE configuration
# OR
npm run install:bmad
```
This installs all agents and configures them for your IDE. If you have an existing v3 installation, it will offer to upgrade it automatically.
This will:
## 📋 Table of Contents
- ✅ Automatically detect your existing v4 installation
- ✅ Update only the files that have changed and add new files
- ✅ Create `.bak` backup files for any custom modifications you've made
- ✅ Preserve your project-specific configurations
- [Overview](#overview)
- [Installation](#installation)
- [Available Agents](#available-agents)
- [Usage](#usage)
- [Project Structure](#project-structure)
- [Contributing](#contributing)
This makes it easy to benefit from the latest improvements, bug fixes, and new agents without losing your customizations! If for some reason this fails, you can rename or remove your .bmad-code folder and run the install again. The main thing to look out for is if you have set up custom modes that are not file driven (Cursor is the only one at this time that is not done through project files lagging behind) - you will want to ensure your sm and dev custom modes especially are kept up to date.
## 🚀 Quick Start
### One Command for Everything (IDE Installation)
**Just run one of these commands:**
```bash
npx bmad-method install
# OR if you already have BMad installed:
npm run install:bmad
```
This single command handles:
- **New installations** - Sets up BMad in your project
- **Upgrades** - Updates existing installations automatically
- **Expansion packs** - Installs any expansion packs you've added to package.json
> **That's it!** Whether you're installing for the first time, upgrading, or adding expansion packs - these commands do everything.
**Prerequisites**: [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20+ required
### Fastest Start: Web UI (2 minutes)
1. **Get the bundle**: Copy `dist/teams/team-fullstack.txt` (from this repository)
2. **Create AI agent**: Create a new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT
3. **Upload & configure**: Upload the file and set instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
4. **Start Ideating and Planning**: Start chatting! Type `*help` to see available commands or pick an agent like `*analyst` to start right in on creating a brief.
> **All pre-built bundles are in the `dist/` folder** - ready to copy and use immediately!

## Overview
BMAD-METHOD (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-Driven Development) revolutionizes software development by providing specialized AI agents for every role in an Agile team. Each agent has deep expertise in their domain and can collaborate to deliver complete software projects.
The BMad Method (Breakthrough Method of Agile Agentic-Driven Development) elevates 'Vibe Coding' by providing specialized AI agents for every role in an Agile team. Each agent has deep expertise in their domain helping you really plan and execute on your vision while keeping the agents on the rails even through complex application plans.
### Why BMAD?
- **🎯 Specialized Expertise**: Each agent is an expert in their specific role
- **🔄 True Agile Workflow**: Follows real Agile methodologies and best practices
- **📦 Modular Design**: Use one agent or an entire team
- **🛠️ IDE Integration**: Works seamlessly with Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf
- **🌐 Platform Agnostic**: Use with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI platform
Unlike systems like Task Master, or inbuilt Task tool, the BMad Methods agile flow does so much more. With most systems, you give your idea in a few sentences at most, and the system churns out a plan, task list, lets you review it and then starts executing. Where the BMad agile flow is different is you can choose to have more upfront planning and architecture specification to ensure the system is built in a sustainable way, not a vibe coded spaghetti mess. When producing the PRD and Architectures (full stack, front end and or backend), the Agents work with you back and forth using advanced proven LLM techniques and techniques also based in psychology to produce beyond the average slop LLMs and Task generators will on their own. This truly is a system of Human in the Loop produces markedly better results.
## Installation

# In Windsurf
@dev Implement story 1.3
```
### With Web UI (ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini)
After uploading a bundle you can ask /help of the agent to learn what it can do
### CLI Commands
```bash
# List all available agents
npx bmad-method list
# Install or update (automatically detects existing installations)
npx bmad-method install
# Check installation status
npx bmad-method status
```
### Upgrading from V3 to V4
If you have an existing BMAD-METHOD V3 project, simply run the installer in your project directory:
```bash
npx bmad-method install
# The installer will automatically detect your V3 installation and offer to upgrade
```
The upgrade process will:
1. Create a backup of your V3 files in `.bmad-v3-backup/`
2. Install the new V4 `.bmad-core/` structure
3. Migrate your documents (PRD, Architecture, Stories, Epics)
4. Set up IDE integration for all V4 agents
5. Create an install manifest for future updates
After upgrading:
1. Review your documents in the `docs/` folder
2. Use `@bmad-master` agent to run the `doc-migration-task` to align your documents with V4 templates
3. If you have separate front-end and backend architecture docs, the migration task will help merge them into a unified `full-stack-architecture.md`
**Note**: The agents in `.bmad-core/` fully replace the items in `bmad-agent/`.

While there is a single create-doc task, the possibilities are endless when you expand the templates into more doc types, or customize with your own docs embedded with the templating markup and LLM instruction framework that is core to the BMad Method.
### Slash Star Commands
Ask the agent you are using for help with /help (in the web) or \*help in the ide to see what commands are available!
## Contributing
### Advanced Elicitation
We welcome contributions! See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for guidelines.
Many of the Agents and Templates for docs, and some tasks, include Advanced Elicitation directives based on the latest in LLM interactions and pro level prompt engineering guidance. With this, you can push the Agents further than ever before. If an agent proposes an idea, or an architecture - you can push it further with optional elicitations where it will have to really expand on, defend, or produce other options and prove its suggestion was better. This is a necessary step if you want the absolute best beyond accepting the generated average responses the LLMs think you want to hear for their first response. Some of this is interactive, and some of this is baked into the core prompting engine that powers the LLM progression through various tasks and template flows.

## Contributing
**We're excited about contributions and welcome your ideas, improvements, and expansion packs!** 🎉
### Before Contributing - MUST READ
To ensure your contribution aligns with the BMad Method and gets merged smoothly:
1. 📋 **Read [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)** - Our contribution guidelines, PR requirements, and process

3. 🆕 **New to GitHub?** Start with our [Pull Request Guide](docs/how-to-contribute-with-pull-requests.md)
### Key Points to Remember
- Keep dev agents lean (save context for coding!)
- Use small, focused files over large branching ones
- Reuse existing tasks (like `create-doc`) instead of creating duplicates
- Consider expansion packs for domain-specific features and not improvements to the core system (those belong in the core system)
- All contributions must follow our natural language, markdown-based templating approach with template embedded LLM instructions and elicitations
We're building something amazing together - let's keep it simple, powerful, and focused! 💪

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

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

To identify the next logical story based on project progress and epic definitions, and then to prepare a comprehensive, self-contained, and actionable story file using the `Story Template`. This task ensures the story is enriched with all necessary technical context, requirements, and acceptance criteria, making it ready for efficient implementation by a Developer Agent with minimal need for additional research.
## Inputs for this Task
- Access to the project's documentation repository, specifically:
- `docs/index.md` (hereafter "Index Doc")
- All Epic files - located in one of these locations:
- Primary: `docs/prd/epic-{n}-{description}.md` (e.g., `epic-1-foundation-core-infrastructure.md`)
- Secondary: `docs/epics/epic-{n}-{description}.md`
- User-specified location if not found in above paths
- Existing story files in `docs/stories/`
- Main PRD (hereafter "PRD Doc")
- Main Architecture Document (hereafter "Main Arch Doc")
- Frontend Architecture Document (hereafter "Frontend Arch Doc," if relevant)
- Project Structure Guide (`docs/project-structure.md`)
- Operational Guidelines Document (`docs/operational-guidelines.md`)
- Technology Stack Document (`docs/tech-stack.md`)
- Data Models Document (as referenced in Index Doc)
- API Reference Document (as referenced in Index Doc)
- UI/UX Specifications, Style Guides, Component Guides (if relevant, as referenced in Index Doc)
- The `bmad-core/templates/story-tmpl.md` (hereafter "Story Template")
- The `bmad-core/checklists/story-draft-checklist.md` (hereafter "Story Draft Checklist")
- User confirmation to proceed with story identification and, if needed, to override warnings about incomplete prerequisite stories.
## Task Execution Instructions
### 0. Load Core Configuration
[[LLM: CRITICAL - This MUST be your first step]]
- Load `.bmad-core/core-config.yml` from the project root
- If the file does not exist:
- HALT and inform the user: "core-config.yml not found. This file is required for story creation. You can:
1. Copy it from GITHUB BMAD-METHOD/bmad-core/core-config.yml and configure it for your project
2. Run the BMAD installer against your project to upgrade and add the file automatically
Please add and configure core-config.yml before proceeding."
- Extract the following key configurations:
- `devStoryLocation`: Where to save story files
- `prd.prdSharded`: Whether PRD is sharded or monolithic
- `prd.prdFile`: Location of monolithic PRD (if not sharded)
- `prd.prdShardedLocation`: Location of sharded epic files
- `prd.epicFilePattern`: Pattern for epic files (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`)
- `architecture.architectureVersion`: Architecture document version
- `architecture.architectureSharded`: Whether architecture is sharded
- `architecture.architectureFile`: Location of monolithic architecture
- `architecture.architectureShardedLocation`: Location of sharded architecture files
### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation
#### 1.1 Locate Epic Files
- First, determine where epic files are located:
- Check `docs/prd/` for files matching pattern `epic-{n}-*.md`
- If not found, check `docs/epics/` for files matching pattern `epic-{n}-*.md`
- If still not found, ask user: "Unable to locate epic files. Please specify the path where epic files are stored."
- Note: Epic files follow naming convention `epic-{n}-{description}.md` (e.g., `epic-1-foundation-core-infrastructure.md`)
- Based on `prdSharded` from config:
- **If `prdSharded: true`**: Look for epic files in `prdShardedLocation` using `epicFilePattern`
- **If `prdSharded: false`**: Load the full PRD from `prdFile` and extract epics from section headings (## Epic N or ### Epic N)
#### 1.2 Review Existing Stories
- Review `docs/stories/` to find the highest-numbered story file.
- Check `devStoryLocation` from config (e.g., `docs/stories/`) for existing story files
- If the directory exists and has at least 1 file, find the highest-numbered story file.
- **If a highest story file exists (`{lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md`):**
- Verify its `Status` is 'Done' (or equivalent).
- If not 'Done', present an alert to the user:

- Proceed only if user selects option 3 (Override) or if the last story was 'Done'.
- If proceeding: Look for the Epic File for `{lastEpicNum}` (e.g., `epic-{lastEpicNum}-*.md`) and check for a story numbered `{lastStoryNum + 1}`. If it exists and its prerequisites (per Epic File) are met, this is the next story.
- Else (story not found or prerequisites not met): The next story is the first story in the next Epic File (e.g., look for `epic-{lastEpicNum + 1}-*.md`, then `epic-{lastEpicNum + 2}-*.md`, etc.) whose prerequisites are met.
- If proceeding: Look for the Epic File for `{lastEpicNum}` (e.g., `epic-{lastEpicNum}*.md`) and parse it to find ALL stories in that epic. **ALWAYS select the next sequential story** (e.g., if last was 2.2, next MUST be 2.3).
- If the next sequential story has unmet prerequisites, present this to the user:
```plaintext
ALERT: Next story has unmet prerequisites:
Story: {epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}
Prerequisites not met: [list specific prerequisites]
Would you like to:
1. Create the story anyway (mark prerequisites as pending)
2. Skip to a different story (requires your specific instruction)
3. Cancel story creation

1. Begin Epic {epicNum + 1} with story {epicNum + 1}.1
2. Select a specific story to work on
3. Cancel story creation
Please choose an option (1/2/3):

- **CRITICAL**: NEVER automatically skip to another epic or non-sequential story. The user MUST explicitly instruct which story to create if skipping the sequential order.
- **If no story files exist in `docs/stories/`:**
- The next story is the first story in the first epic file (look for `epic-1-*.md`, then `epic-2-*.md`, etc.) whose prerequisites are met.
- If no suitable story with met prerequisites is found, report to the user that story creation is blocked, specifying what prerequisites are pending. HALT task.
- The next story is ALWAYS 1.1 (the first story of the first epic).
- If story 1.1 has unmet prerequisites, follow the same alert process as above.

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

# Document an Existing Project
## Purpose
Generate comprehensive documentation for existing projects optimized for AI development agents. This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase.
## Task Instructions
### 1. Initial Project Analysis
[[LLM: First, check if a PRD or requirements document exists in context. If yes, use it to focus your documentation efforts on relevant areas only.
**IF PRD EXISTS**:
- Review the PRD to understand what enhancement/feature is planned
- Identify which modules, services, or areas will be affected
- Focus documentation ONLY on these relevant areas
- Skip unrelated parts of the codebase to keep docs lean
**IF NO PRD EXISTS**:
Ask the user:
"I notice you haven't provided a PRD or requirements document. To create more focused and useful documentation, I recommend one of these options:
1. **Create a PRD first** - Would you like me to help create a brownfield PRD before documenting? This helps focus documentation on relevant areas.
2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share?
3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example:
- 'Adding payment processing to the user service'
- 'Refactoring the authentication module'
- 'Integrating with a new third-party API'
4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects)
Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer."
Based on their response:
- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation
- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below
Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to:
1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization
2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies
3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands
4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation
5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches
Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs:
- What is the primary purpose of this project?
- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand?
- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing)
- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer?
- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team)
- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation)
]]
### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis
[[LLM: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase:
1. **Explore Key Areas**:
- Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers)
- Configuration files and environment setup
- Package dependencies and versions
- Build and deployment configurations
- Test suites and coverage
2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**:
- "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?"
- "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?"
- "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?"
- "What technical debt or known issues should I document?"
- "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?"
3. **Map the Reality**:
- Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices)
- Find where key business logic lives
- Locate integration points and external dependencies
- Document workarounds and technical debt
- Note areas that differ from standard patterns
**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement]]
### 3. Core Documentation Generation
[[LLM: Generate a comprehensive BROWNFIELD architecture document that reflects the ACTUAL state of the codebase.
**CRITICAL**: This is NOT an aspirational architecture document. Document what EXISTS, including:
- Technical debt and workarounds
- Inconsistent patterns between different parts
- Legacy code that can't be changed
- Integration constraints
- Performance bottlenecks
**Document Structure**:
# [Project Name] Brownfield Architecture Document
## Introduction
This document captures the CURRENT STATE of the [Project Name] codebase, including technical debt, workarounds, and real-world patterns. It serves as a reference for AI agents working on enhancements.
### Document Scope
[If PRD provided: "Focused on areas relevant to: {enhancement description}"]
[If no PRD: "Comprehensive documentation of entire system"]
### Change Log
| Date | Version | Description | Author |
|------|---------|-------------|--------|
| [Date] | 1.0 | Initial brownfield analysis | [Analyst] |
## Quick Reference - Key Files and Entry Points
### Critical Files for Understanding the System
- **Main Entry**: `src/index.js` (or actual entry point)
- **Configuration**: `config/app.config.js`, `.env.example`
- **Core Business Logic**: `src/services/`, `src/domain/`
- **API Definitions**: `src/routes/` or link to OpenAPI spec
- **Database Models**: `src/models/` or link to schema files
- **Key Algorithms**: [List specific files with complex logic]
### If PRD Provided - Enhancement Impact Areas
[Highlight which files/modules will be affected by the planned enhancement]
## High Level Architecture
### Technical Summary
[Real assessment of architecture - mention if it's well-structured or has issues]
### Actual Tech Stack (from package.json/requirements.txt)
| Category | Technology | Version | Notes |
|----------|------------|---------|--------|
| Runtime | Node.js | 16.x | [Any constraints] |
| Framework | Express | 4.18.2 | [Custom middleware?] |
| Database | PostgreSQL | 13 | [Connection pooling setup] |
| [etc...] |
### Repository Structure Reality Check
- Type: [Monorepo/Polyrepo/Hybrid]
- Package Manager: [npm/yarn/pnpm]
- Notable: [Any unusual structure decisions]
## Source Tree and Module Organization
### Project Structure (Actual)
```
project-root/
├── src/
│ ├── controllers/ # HTTP request handlers
│ ├── services/ # Business logic (NOTE: inconsistent patterns between user and payment services)
│ ├── models/ # Database models (Sequelize)
│ ├── utils/ # Mixed bag - needs refactoring
│ └── legacy/ # DO NOT MODIFY - old payment system still in use
├── tests/ # Jest tests (60% coverage)
├── scripts/ # Build and deployment scripts
└── config/ # Environment configs
```
### Key Modules and Their Purpose
- **User Management**: `src/services/userService.js` - Handles all user operations
- **Authentication**: `src/middleware/auth.js` - JWT-based, custom implementation
- **Payment Processing**: `src/legacy/payment.js` - CRITICAL: Do not refactor, tightly coupled
- **[List other key modules with their actual files]**
## Data Models and APIs
### Data Models
Instead of duplicating, reference actual model files:
- **User Model**: See `src/models/User.js`
- **Order Model**: See `src/models/Order.js`
- **Related Types**: TypeScript definitions in `src/types/`
### API Specifications
- **OpenAPI Spec**: `docs/api/openapi.yaml` (if exists)
- **Postman Collection**: `docs/api/postman-collection.json`
- **Manual Endpoints**: [List any undocumented endpoints discovered]
## Technical Debt and Known Issues
### Critical Technical Debt
1. **Payment Service**: Legacy code in `src/legacy/payment.js` - tightly coupled, no tests
2. **User Service**: Different pattern than other services, uses callbacks instead of promises
3. **Database Migrations**: Manually tracked, no proper migration tool
4. **[Other significant debt]**
### Workarounds and Gotchas
- **Environment Variables**: Must set `NODE_ENV=production` even for staging (historical reason)
- **Database Connections**: Connection pool hardcoded to 10, changing breaks payment service
- **[Other workarounds developers need to know]**
## Integration Points and External Dependencies
### External Services
| Service | Purpose | Integration Type | Key Files |
|---------|---------|------------------|-----------|
| Stripe | Payments | REST API | `src/integrations/stripe/` |
| SendGrid | Emails | SDK | `src/services/emailService.js` |
| [etc...] |
### Internal Integration Points
- **Frontend Communication**: REST API on port 3000, expects specific headers
- **Background Jobs**: Redis queue, see `src/workers/`
- **[Other integrations]**
## Development and Deployment
### Local Development Setup
1. Actual steps that work (not ideal steps)
2. Known issues with setup
3. Required environment variables (see `.env.example`)
### Build and Deployment Process
- **Build Command**: `npm run build` (webpack config in `webpack.config.js`)
- **Deployment**: Manual deployment via `scripts/deploy.sh`
- **Environments**: Dev, Staging, Prod (see `config/environments/`)
## Testing Reality
### Current Test Coverage
- Unit Tests: 60% coverage (Jest)
- Integration Tests: Minimal, in `tests/integration/`
- E2E Tests: None
- Manual Testing: Primary QA method
### Running Tests
```bash
npm test # Runs unit tests
npm run test:integration # Runs integration tests (requires local DB)
```
## If Enhancement PRD Provided - Impact Analysis
### Files That Will Need Modification
Based on the enhancement requirements, these files will be affected:
- `src/services/userService.js` - Add new user fields
- `src/models/User.js` - Update schema
- `src/routes/userRoutes.js` - New endpoints
- [etc...]
### New Files/Modules Needed
- `src/services/newFeatureService.js` - New business logic
- `src/models/NewFeature.js` - New data model
- [etc...]
### Integration Considerations
- Will need to integrate with existing auth middleware
- Must follow existing response format in `src/utils/responseFormatter.js`
- [Other integration points]
## Appendix - Useful Commands and Scripts
### Frequently Used Commands
```bash
npm run dev # Start development server
npm run build # Production build
npm run migrate # Run database migrations
npm run seed # Seed test data
```
### Debugging and Troubleshooting
- **Logs**: Check `logs/app.log` for application logs
- **Debug Mode**: Set `DEBUG=app:*` for verbose logging
- **Common Issues**: See `docs/troubleshooting.md`]]
### 4. Document Delivery
[[LLM: After generating the complete architecture document:
1. **In Web UI (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude)**:
- Present the entire document in one response (or multiple if too long)
- Tell user to copy and save as `docs/brownfield-architecture.md` or `docs/project-architecture.md`
- Mention it can be sharded later in IDE if needed
2. **In IDE Environment**:
- Create the document as `docs/brownfield-architecture.md`
- Inform user this single document contains all architectural information
- Can be sharded later using PO agent if desired
The document should be comprehensive enough that future agents can understand:
- The actual state of the system (not idealized)
- Where to find key files and logic
- What technical debt exists
- What constraints must be respected
- If PRD provided: What needs to change for the enhancement]]
### 5. Quality Assurance
[[LLM: Before finalizing the document:
1. **Accuracy Check**: Verify all technical details match the actual codebase
2. **Completeness Review**: Ensure all major system components are documented
3. **Focus Validation**: If user provided scope, verify relevant areas are emphasized
4. **Clarity Assessment**: Check that explanations are clear for AI agents
5. **Navigation**: Ensure document has clear section structure for easy reference
Apply the advanced elicitation task after major sections to refine based on user feedback.]]
## Success Criteria
- Single comprehensive brownfield architecture document created
- Document reflects REALITY including technical debt and workarounds
- Key files and modules are referenced with actual paths
- Models/APIs reference source files rather than duplicating content
- If PRD provided: Clear impact analysis showing what needs to change
- Document enables AI agents to navigate and understand the actual codebase
- Technical constraints and "gotchas" are clearly documented
## Notes
- This task creates ONE document that captures the TRUE state of the system
- References actual files rather than duplicating content when possible
- Documents technical debt, workarounds, and constraints honestly
- For brownfield projects with PRD: Provides clear enhancement impact analysis
- The goal is PRACTICAL documentation for AI agents doing real work
