You will select the task, provide the doc to shard and the output folder. for example: `BMad Master, please Shard the docs/prd.md to the doc/prd/ folder` - this should ask you to use the md-tree-parser which is recommended, but either way shoudl result in multiple documents being created in the folder docs/prd.
+2. If you have fullstack, front end and or back end architecture documents you will want to follow the same thing, but shard all of these to an architecture folder instead of a prd folder.
+3. Ensure that you have at least one epic-n.md file in your prd folder, with the stories in order to develop.
+4. The docs or architecture folder or prd folder should have a source tree document and coding standards at a minimum. These are used by the dev agent, and the many other sharded docs are used by the SM agent.
+5. Use a new chat window to allow the SM agent to `draft the next story`.
+6. If you agree the story is correct, mark it as approved in the status field, and then start a new chat window with the dev agent.
+7. Ask the dev agent to implement the next story. If you draft the story file into the chat it will save time for the dev to have to find what the next one is. The dev should follow the tasks and subtasks marking them off as they are completed. The dev agent will also leave notes potentially for the SM to know about any deviations that might have occured to help draft the next story.
+8. Once complete and you have verified, mark it done, and start a new chat. Ask the SM to draft the next story - repeating the cycle.
+
+With this work flow, there is only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially.

-# 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.

 ## Purpose
 
-Migrate BMAD-METHOD documents to match V4 template structure exactly, preserving all content while enforcing strict template compliance.
+Simple document migration that cleans up heading formats and adds epic structure for PRDs.
 
 ## 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)
-
-]]
+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
 
-### Strict Template Compliance
+### For PRDs
 
-[[LLM: CRITICAL RULES:
+- 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
 
-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
+### 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`
 
-### Content Migration Process
+### For Architecture Documents
 
-1. **Read Template Structure**
+- **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
 
-   - Extract all Level 2 headings from the V4 template
-   - These are the ONLY Level 2 headings allowed in the final document
+## Detection Logic
 
-2. **Analyze Original Document**
+A document is considered a PRD if:
 
-   - Identify all content blocks
-   - Note original section organization
-   - Flag any custom sections
+- Filename contains "prd" (case insensitive)
+- OR main title contains "Product Requirements" or "PRD"
+- OR contains sections like "User Stories", "Functional Requirements", "Acceptance Criteria"
 
-3. **Create Backup First**
+## Implementation Steps
 
-   - Rename original file: `mv filename.md filename.md.bak`
-   - This preserves the original completely
+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
 
-4. **Create New File**
+## Epic Detection for PRDs
 
-   - 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
+Level 3 headings are treated as epics if they:
 
-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
+- Describe features or functionality
+- Are substantial sections (not just "Overview" or "Notes")
+- Common epic patterns: "User Management", "Payment Processing", "Reporting Dashboard"

-### 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

+# 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: Begin by conducting a comprehensive 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)
+  ]]
+
+### 2. Core Documentation Generation
+
+[[LLM: Based on your analysis, generate the following core documentation files. Adapt the content and structure to match the specific project type and context you discovered:
+
+**Core Documents (always generate):**
+
+1. **docs/index.md** - Master documentation index
+2. **docs/architecture/index.md** - Architecture documentation index
+3. **docs/architecture/coding-standards.md** - Coding conventions and style guidelines
+4. **docs/architecture/tech-stack.md** - Technology stack and version constraints
+5. **docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md** - Project structure and organization
+6. **docs/architecture/testing-strategy.md** - Testing approaches and requirements
+
+**Backend Documents (generate for backend/full-stack projects):**
+
+7. **docs/architecture/backend-architecture.md** - Backend service patterns and structure
+8. **docs/architecture/rest-api-spec.md** - API endpoint specifications
+9. **docs/architecture/data-models.md** - Data structures and validation rules
+10. **docs/architecture/database-schema.md** - Database design and relationships
+11. **docs/architecture/external-apis.md** - Third-party integrations
+
+**Frontend Documents (generate for frontend/full-stack projects):**
+

+### 6. Quality Assurance
+
+[[LLM: Before completing each document:
+
+1. **Accuracy Check**: Verify all file paths, commands, and code examples work
+2. **Completeness Review**: Ensure the document covers the most important patterns an agent would encounter
+3. **Clarity Assessment**: Check that explanations are clear and actionable
+4. **Consistency Verification**: Ensure terminology and patterns align across all documents
+5. **Agent Perspective**: Review from the viewpoint of an AI agent that needs to contribute to this project
+
+Ask the user to review each completed document and use the advanced elicitation task to refine based on their feedback.]]
+
+### 7. Final Integration
+
+[[LLM: After all documents are completed:
+
+1. Ensure all documents are created in the proper BMAD-expected locations:
+
+   - Core docs in `docs/` (index.md, prd.md)
+   - Architecture shards in `docs/architecture/` subdirectory
+   - Create the `docs/architecture/` directory if it doesn't exist
+
+2. Create/update the master index documents:
+
+   - Update `docs/index.md` to reference all documentation
+   - Create `docs/architecture/index.md` listing all architecture shards
+
+3. Verify document cross-references:
+
+   - Ensure all documents link to related documentation
+   - Check that file paths match the actual project structure
+   - Validate that examples reference real files in the project
+
+4. Provide maintenance guidance:
+
+   - Document update triggers (when to update each doc)
+   - Create a simple checklist for keeping docs current
+   - Suggest automated validation approaches
+
+5. Summary report including:
+   - List of all documents created with their paths
+   - Any gaps or areas needing human review
+   - Recommendations for project-specific additions
+   - Next steps for maintaining documentation accuracy
+
+Present a summary of what was created and ask if any additional documentation would be helpful for AI agents working on this specific project.]]
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- Documentation enables AI agents to understand project context without additional explanation
+- All major architectural patterns and coding conventions are captured
+- Examples reference actual project files and demonstrate real usage
+- Documentation is structured consistently and easy to navigate
+- Content is actionable and focuses on what agents need to do, not just understand
+
+## Notes
+
+- This task is designed to work with any project type, language, or framework
+- The documentation should reflect the project as it actually is, not as it should be
+- Focus on patterns that agents can recognize and replicate consistently
+- Include both positive examples (what to do) and negative examples (what to avoid)

 ## 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.
+To generate a masterful, comprehensive, and optimized prompt that can be used with any AI-driven frontend development tool (e.g., Vercel v0, Lovable.ai, or similar) to scaffold or generate significant portions of a frontend application.
 
 ## Inputs
 
-- Completed UI/UX Specification (`front-end-spec-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)
+- Completed UI/UX Specification (`front-end-spec`)
+- Completed Frontend Architecture Document (`front-end-architecture`) or a full stack combined architecture such as `architecture.md`
+- Main System Architecture Document (`architecture` - for API contracts and tech stack to give further context)
 
 ## Key Activities & Instructions
 
-1. **Confirm Target AI Generation Platform:**
+### 1. Core Prompting Principles
 
-   - 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.
+Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code.
 
-2. **Synthesize Inputs into a Structured Prompt:**
+- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs.
+- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results.
+- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals.
+- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop.
 
-   - **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).
+### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework
 
-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>
+To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework.
+
+1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task.
+   - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_
+2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt.
+   - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_
+3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do.
+   - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_
+4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase.
+   - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_
+
+### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt
+
+You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt.
+
+1. **Gather Foundational Context**:
+   - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used.
+2. **Describe the Visuals**:
+   - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots.
+   - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful").
+3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**:
+   - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page.
+4. **Present and Refine**:
+   - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block).
+   - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above.
+   - <important_note>Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready.</important_note>

+## Epics
+
+[[LLM: First, present a high-level list of all epics for user approval, the epic_list and immediately execute tasks#advanced-elicitation display. Each epic should have a title and a short (1 sentence) goal statement. This allows the user to review the overall structure before diving into details.
+
+CRITICAL: Epics MUST be logically sequential following agile best practices:
+
+- Each epic should deliver a significant, end-to-end, fully deployable increment of testable functionality
+- Epic 1 must establish foundational project infrastructure (app setup, Git, CI/CD, core services) unless we are adding new functionality to an existing app, while also delivering an initial piece of functionality, even as simple as a health-check route or display of a simple canary page
+- Each subsequent epic builds upon previous epics' functionality delivering major blocks of functionality that provide tangible value to users or business when deployed
+- Not every project needs multiple epics, an epic needs to deliver value. For example, an API completed can deliver value even if a UI is not complete and planned for a separate epic.
+- Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things.
+- Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories. For example, adding a logging framework as a last story of an epic, or at the end of a project as a final epic or story would be terrible as we would not have logging from the beginning.]]

+4. Reporting & Analytics: Provide insights and data visualization for users

+
+- Stories within each epic MUST be logically sequential
+- Each story should be a "vertical slice" delivering complete functionality
+- No story should depend on work from a later story or epic
+- Identify and note any direct prerequisite stories
+- Focus on "what" and "why" not "how" (leave technical implementation to Architect) yet be precise enough to support a logical sequential order of operations from story to story.
+- Ensure each story delivers clear user or business value, try to avoid enablers and build them into stories that deliver value.
+- Size stories for AI agent execution: Each story must be completable by a single AI agent in one focused session without context overflow
+- Think "junior developer working for 2-4 hours" - stories must be small, focused, and self-contained
+- If a story seems complex, break it down further as long as it can deliver a vertical slice
+- Each story should result in working, testable code before the agent's context window fills]]

+#### Acceptance Criteria
+
+[[LLM: Define clear, comprehensive, and testable acceptance criteria that:
+
+- Precisely define what "done" means from a functional perspective
+- Are unambiguous and serve as basis for verification
+- Include any critical non-functional requirements from the PRD
+- Consider local testability for backend/data components
+- Specify UI/UX requirements and framework adherence where applicable

+1. Shard the PRD (And Architecture documents if they exist also based on workflow type) using the Doc Shard task. The BMad-Master agent can help you do this. You will select the task, provide the doc to shard and the output folder. for example: `BMad Master, please Shard the docs/prd.md to the doc/prd/ folder` - this should ask you to use the md-tree-parser which is recommended, but either way shoudl result in multiple documents being created in the folder docs/prd.
+2. If you have fullstack, front end and or back end architecture documents you will want to follow the same thing, but shard all of these to an architecture folder instead of a prd folder.
+3. Ensure that you have at least one epic-n.md file in your prd folder, with the stories in order to develop.
+4. The docs or architecture folder or prd folder should have a source tree document and coding standards at a minimum. These are used by the dev agent, and the many other sharded docs are used by the SM agent.
+5. Use a new chat window to allow the SM agent to `draft the next story`.
+6. If you agree the story is correct, mark it as approved in the status field, and then start a new chat window with the dev agent.
+7. Ask the dev agent to implement the next story. If you draft the story file into the chat it will save time for the dev to have to find what the next one is. The dev should follow the tasks and subtasks marking them off as they are completed. The dev agent will also leave notes potentially for the SM to know about any deviations that might have occured to help draft the next story.
+8. Once complete and you have verified, mark it done, and start a new chat. Ask the SM to draft the next story - repeating the cycle.
+
+With this work flow, there is only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially.

+## Epics
+
+[[LLM: First, present a high-level list of all epics for user approval, the epic_list and immediately execute tasks#advanced-elicitation display. Each epic should have a title and a short (1 sentence) goal statement. This allows the user to review the overall structure before diving into details.
+
+CRITICAL: Epics MUST be logically sequential following agile best practices:
+
+- Each epic should deliver a significant, end-to-end, fully deployable increment of testable functionality
+- Epic 1 must establish foundational project infrastructure (app setup, Git, CI/CD, core services) unless we are adding new functionality to an existing app, while also delivering an initial piece of functionality, even as simple as a health-check route or display of a simple canary page
+- Each subsequent epic builds upon previous epics' functionality delivering major blocks of functionality that provide tangible value to users or business when deployed
+- Not every project needs multiple epics, an epic needs to deliver value. For example, an API completed can deliver value even if a UI is not complete and planned for a separate epic.
+- Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things.
+- Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories. For example, adding a logging framework as a last story of an epic, or at the end of a project as a final epic or story would be terrible as we would not have logging from the beginning.]]

+- Stories within each epic MUST be logically sequential
+- Each story should be a "vertical slice" delivering complete functionality
+- No story should depend on work from a later story or epic
+- Identify and note any direct prerequisite stories
+- Focus on "what" and "why" not "how" (leave technical implementation to Architect) yet be precise enough to support a logical sequential order of operations from story to story.
+- Ensure each story delivers clear user or business value, try to avoid enablers and build them into stories that deliver value.
+- Size stories for AI agent execution: Each story must be completable by a single AI agent in one focused session without context overflow
+- Think "junior developer working for 2-4 hours" - stories must be small, focused, and self-contained
+- If a story seems complex, break it down further as long as it can deliver a vertical slice
+- Each story should result in working, testable code before the agent's context window fills]]

+- Are unambiguous and serve as basis for verification
+- Include any critical non-functional requirements from the PRD

 ## 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.
+To generate a masterful, comprehensive, and optimized prompt that can be used with any AI-driven frontend development tool (e.g., Vercel v0, Lovable.ai, or similar) to scaffold or generate significant portions of a frontend application.
 
 ## Inputs
 
-- Completed UI/UX Specification (`front-end-spec-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)
+- Completed UI/UX Specification (`front-end-spec`)
+- Completed Frontend Architecture Document (`front-end-architecture`) or a full stack combined architecture such as `architecture.md`
+- Main System Architecture Document (`architecture` - for API contracts and tech stack to give further context)
 
 ## Key Activities & Instructions
 
-1. **Confirm Target AI Generation Platform:**
+### 1. Core Prompting Principles
 
-   - 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.
+Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code.
 
-2. **Synthesize Inputs into a Structured Prompt:**
+- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs.
+- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results.
+- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals.
+- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop.
 
-   - **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).
+### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework
 
-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>
+To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework.
+
+1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task.
+   - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_
+2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt.
+   - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_
+3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do.
+   - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_
+4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase.
+   - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_
+
+### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt
+
+You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt.
+
+1. **Gather Foundational Context**:
+   - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used.
+2. **Describe the Visuals**:
+   - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots.
+   - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful").
+3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**:
+   - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page.
+4. **Present and Refine**:
+   - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block).
+   - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above.
+   - <important_note>Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready.</important_note>

+# BMAD Method Universal Workflow Guide
+
+This guide outlines the core BMAD workflow that applies regardless of which AI-powered IDE you're using.
+
+## Overview
+
+The BMAD Method follows a structured approach to AI-assisted software development:
+
+1. **Install BMAD** in your project
+2. **Plan with Gemini** using team-fullstack
+3. **Organize with bmad-master** (document sharding)
+4. **Develop iteratively** with SM → Dev cycles
+
+## The Complete Workflow
+
+### Phase 1: Project Setup
+
+1. **Install BMAD in your project**:
+
+   ```bash
+   npx bmad-method install
+   ```
+
+   - Choose "Complete installation"
+   - Select your IDE (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, or Roo Code)
+
+2. **Verify installation**:
+   - `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents
+   - IDE-specific integration files created
+   - All agent commands/rules/modes available
+
+### Phase 2: Ideation & Planning (Gemini)
+
+Use Google's Gemini for collaborative planning with the full team:
+
+1. **Open [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/)**
+2. **Load team-fullstack**:
+   - Copy contents of: `/Users/brianmadison/dev/BMAD-METHOD/.bmad-core/web-bundles/teams/team-fullstack.txt`
+   - Paste into new Gemini chat
+3. **Collaborate with the team**:
+   - Business Analyst: Requirements gathering
+   - Product Manager: Feature prioritization
+   - Solution Architect: Technical design
+   - UX Expert: User experience design
+
+### Example Gemini Sessions:
+
+```text
+"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose].
+Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD."
+
+"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture
+that can handle [specific requirements]."
+```
+
+4. **Export planning documents**:
+   - Save PRD as `docs/prd.md`
+   - Save architecture as `docs/architecture.md`
+
+### Phase 3: Document Organization (IDE)
+
+Switch back to your IDE for document management:
+
+1. **Load bmad-master agent** (syntax varies by IDE)
+2. **Shard the PRD**:
+   ```
+   *shard-doc docs/prd.md prd
+   ```
+3. **Shard the architecture**:
+   ```
+   *shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture
+   ```
+
+**Result**: Organized folder structure:
+
+- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections
+- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections
+
+### Phase 4: Iterative Development
+
+Follow the SM → Dev cycle for systematic story development:
+
+#### Story Creation (Scrum Master)
+
+1. **Start new chat/conversation**
+2. **Load SM agent**
+3. **Execute**: `*create` (runs create-next-story task)
+4. **Review generated story** in `docs/stories/`
+5. **Update status**: Change from "Draft" to "Approved"
+
+#### Story Implementation (Developer)
+
+1. **Start new chat/conversation**
+2. **Load Dev agent**
+3. **Agent asks**: Which story to implement
+4. **Follow development tasks**
+5. **Complete implementation**
+6. **Update status**: Change to "Done"
+
+#### Repeat Until Complete
+
+- **SM**: Create next story → Review → Approve
+- **Dev**: Implement story → Complete → Mark done
+- **Continue**: Until all features implemented
+
+## IDE-Specific Syntax
+
+### Agent Loading Syntax by IDE:
+
+- **Claude Code**: `/agent-name` (e.g., `/bmad-master`)
+- **Cursor**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`)
+- **Windsurf**: `@agent-name` (e.g., `@bmad-master`)
+- **Roo Code**: Select mode from mode selector (e.g., `bmad-bmad-master`)
+
+### Chat Management:
+
+- **Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf**: Start new chats when switching agents
+- **Roo Code**: Switch modes within the same conversation
+
+## Available Agents
+
+### Core Development Agents:
+
+- **bmad-master**: Universal task executor, document management
+- **sm**: Scrum Master for story creation and agile process
+- **dev**: Full-stack developer for implementation
+- **architect**: Solution architect for technical design
+
+### Specialized Agents:
+
+- **pm**: Product manager for planning and prioritization
+- **analyst**: Business analyst for requirements
+- **qa**: QA specialist for testing strategies
+- **po**: Product owner for backlog management
+- **ux-expert**: UX specialist for design
+
+## Key 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
+
+## Common Commands
+
+Every agent supports these core commands:
+
+- `*help` - Show available commands
+- `*status` - Show current context/progress
+- `*exit` - Exit the agent mode
+
+## 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
+
+This workflow ensures systematic, AI-assisted development following agile principles with clear separation of concerns and consistent progress tracking.

+# BMAD Method Guide for Claude Code
+
+This guide walks you through the complete BMAD workflow using Claude Code as your AI-powered IDE.
+
+## Step 1: Install BMAD in Your Project
+
+1. Navigate to your project directory
+2. Run the BMAD installer:
+   ```bash
+   npx bmad-method install
+   ```
+3. When prompted:
+   - **Installation Type**: Choose "Complete installation (recommended)"
+   - **IDE**: Select "Claude Code"
+
+This creates a `.bmad-core` folder with all agents and a `.claude/commands` folder with agent commands.
+
+## Step 2: Set Up Team Fullstack in Gemini
+
+For ideation and planning, use Google's Gemini with the team-fullstack configuration:
+
+1. Open [Google AI Studio (Gemini)](https://aistudio.google.com/)
+2. Create a new chat
+3. Copy the contents of `/Users/brianmadison/dev/BMAD-METHOD/.bmad-core/web-bundles/teams/team-fullstack.txt`
+4. Paste this content into Gemini to set up the team
+
+### Gemini Planning Phase
+
+In Gemini, ask the BMAD team to help you:
+
+- **Ideate** your project concept
+- **Brainstorm** features and requirements
+- **Create a PRD** (Product Requirements Document)
+- **Design the architecture**
+
+Ask questions like:
+
+- "Help me brainstorm a [type of application] that does [core functionality]"
+- "Create a comprehensive PRD for this concept"
+- "Design the technical architecture for this system"
+
+Copy the PRD and architecture documents that Gemini creates into your project's `docs/` folder:
+
+- `docs/prd.md`
+- `docs/architecture.md`
+
+## Step 3: Back to Claude Code - Document Sharding
+
+Once you have your PRD and architecture documents in the `docs/` folder:
+
+1. **Start a new chat in Claude Code**
+2. **Load the bmad-master agent**: Type `/bmad-master`
+3. **Shard the PRD**: Type `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd`
+4. **Shard the architecture**: Type `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture`
+
+This creates organized folders:
+
+- `docs/prd/` - Contains broken down PRD sections
+- `docs/architecture/` - Contains broken down architecture sections
+
+## Step 4: Story Development Cycle
+
+Now begin the iterative development cycle:
+
+### Create Stories (Scrum Master)
+
+1. **Start a new chat**
+2. **Load SM agent**: Type `/sm`
+3. **Create story**: Type `*create` (this runs the create-next-story task)
+4. **Review the generated story**
+5. **If approved**: Set story status to "Approved" in the story file
+
+### Implement Stories (Developer)
+
+1. **Start a new chat**
+2. **Load Dev agent**: Type `/dev`
+3. **The agent will ask which story to implement**
+4. **Follow the development tasks** the agent provides
+5. **When story is complete**: Mark status as "Done"
+
+### Repeat the Cycle
+
+1. **Start a new chat with SM agent** (`/sm`)
+2. **Create next story**: Type `*create`
+3. **Review and approve**
+4. **Start new chat with Dev agent** (`/dev`)
+5. **Implement the story**
+6. **Repeat until project complete**
+
+## Available Commands in Claude Code
+
+All BMAD agents are available as Claude Code commands:
+
+- `/bmad-master` - Universal task executor
+- `/sm` - Scrum Master for story creation
+- `/dev` - Full-stack developer for implementation
+- `/architect` - Solution architect for design
+- `/pm` - Product manager for planning
+- `/analyst` - Business analyst for requirements
+- `/qa` - QA specialist for testing
+- `/po` - Product owner for prioritization
+- `/ux-expert` - UX specialist for design
+
+## Key Workflow Principles
+
+1. **Always start new chats** when switching agents to avoid context confusion
+2. **Use Gemini for initial planning** and ideation with the team-fullstack bundle
+3. **Use bmad-master for document management** (sharding, templates, etc.)
+4. **Follow the SM → Dev cycle** for consistent story development
+5. **Review and approve stories** before implementation begins
+
+## Tips for Success
+
+- **Keep chats focused**: Each chat should have one agent and one primary task
+- **Use \*help command**: Every agent supports `*help` to see available commands
+- **Review generated content**: Always review and approve stories before marking them ready
+- **Maintain status updates**: Keep story statuses current (Draft → Approved → InProgress → Done)
+
+This workflow ensures systematic, AI-assisted development following agile principles with clear handoffs between planning, story creation, and implementation phases.

+# BMAD Method: Core Architecture
+
+This document serves as the definitive source of truth for the BMAD-Method's architecture. It is designed to be understood by both human developers and the AI agents that operate within the framework.
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+The BMAD-Method is an AI-Powered Agile Development Framework designed to transform software development by providing specialized AI agents for every role in a complete Agile team. The core purpose of the project is to provide a structured yet flexible set of prompts, templates, and workflows that users can employ to guide AI agents (like Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT) to perform complex software development tasks in a predictable, high-quality manner.
+
+The system facilitates a full development lifecycle:
+
+1. **Ideation & Planning**: Brainstorming, market research, and creating project briefs.
+2. **Architecture & Design**: Defining system architecture and UI/UX specifications.
+3. **Development Execution**: A cyclical workflow where a Scrum Master (SM) agent drafts stories and a Developer (Dev) agent implements them one at a time. This process works for both new (Greenfield) and existing (Brownfield) projects.
+
+## 2. System Architecture Diagram
+
+The entire BMAD-Method ecosystem is designed around the `.bmad-core` directory, which acts as the brain of the operation. The `tools` directory provides the means to process and package this brain for different environments.

+
+## 3. Core Components
+
+The `.bmad-core` directory contains all the definitions and resources that give the agents their capabilities.
+
+### 3.1. Agents (`.bmad-core/agents/`)
+
+- **Purpose**: These are the foundational building blocks of the system. Each markdown file (e.g., `bmad-master.md`, `pm.md`, `dev.md`) defines the persona, capabilities, and dependencies of a single AI agent.
+- **Structure**: An agent file contains a YAML header that specifies its role, persona, dependencies, and startup instructions. These dependencies are lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files that the agent is allowed to use.
+- **Startup Instructions**: Agents can include startup sequences that load project-specific documentation from the `docs/` folder, such as coding standards, API specifications, or project structure documents. This provides immediate project context upon activation.
+- **Document Integration**: Agents can reference and load documents from the project's `docs/` folder as part of tasks, workflows, or startup sequences. Users can also drag documents directly into chat interfaces to provide additional context.
+- **Example**: The `bmad-master` agent lists its dependencies, which tells the build tool which files to include in a web bundle and informs the agent of its own capabilities.
+
+### 3.2. Agent Teams (`.bmad-core/agent-teams/`)
+
+- **Purpose**: Team files (e.g., `team-all.yml`) define collections of agents and workflows that are bundled together for a specific purpose, like "full-stack development" or "backend-only". This creates a larger, pre-packaged context for web UI environments.
+- **Structure**: A team file lists the agents to include. It can use wildcards, such as `"*"` to include all agents. This allows for the creation of comprehensive bundles like `team-all`.
+
+### 3.3. Workflows (`.bmad-core/workflows/`)
+
+- **Purpose**: Workflows are YAML files (e.g., `greenfield-fullstack.yml`) that define a prescribed sequence of steps and agent interactions for a specific project type. They act as a strategic guide for the user and the `bmad-orchestrator` agent.
+- **Structure**: A workflow defines sequences for both complex and simple projects, lists the agents involved at each step, the artifacts they create, and the conditions for moving from one step to the next. It often includes a Mermaid diagram for visualization.
+
+### 3.4. Reusable Resources (`templates`, `tasks`, `checklists`, `data`)
+
+- **Purpose**: These folders house the modular components that are dynamically loaded by agents based on their dependencies.
+  - **`templates/`**: Contains markdown templates for common documents like PRDs, architecture specifications, and user stories.
+  - **`tasks/`**: Defines the instructions for carrying out specific, repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story".
+  - **`checklists/`**: Provides quality assurance checklists for agents like the Product Owner (`po`) or Architect.
+  - **`data/`**: Contains the core knowledge base (`bmad-kb.md`), technical preferences (`technical-preferences.md`), and other key data files.
+
+#### 3.4.1. Template Processing System
+
+A key architectural principle of BMAD is that templates are self-contained and interactive - they embed both the desired document output and the LLM instructions needed to work with users. This means that in many cases, no separate task is needed for document creation, as the template itself contains all the processing logic.
+
+The BMAD framework employs a sophisticated template processing system orchestrated by three key components:
+
+- **`template-format.md`** (`.bmad-core/utils/`): Defines the foundational markup language used throughout all BMAD templates. This specification establishes syntax rules for variable substitution (`{{placeholders}}`), AI-only processing directives (`[[LLM: instructions]]`), and conditional logic blocks. Templates follow this format to ensure consistent processing across the system.
+
+- **`create-doc.md`** (`.bmad-core/tasks/`): Acts as the orchestration engine that manages the entire document generation workflow. This task coordinates template selection, manages user interaction modes (incremental vs. rapid generation), enforces template-format processing rules, and handles validation. It serves as the primary interface between users and the template system.
+
+- **`advanced-elicitation.md`** (`.bmad-core/tasks/`): Provides an interactive refinement layer that can be embedded within templates through `[[LLM: instructions]]` blocks. This component offers 10 structured brainstorming actions, section-by-section review capabilities, and iterative improvement workflows to enhance content quality.
+
+The system maintains a clean separation of concerns: template markup is processed internally by AI agents but never exposed to users, while providing sophisticated AI processing capabilities through embedded intelligence within the templates themselves.
+
+#### 3.4.2. Technical Preferences System
+
+BMAD includes a personalization layer through the `technical-preferences.md` file in `.bmad-core/data/`. This file serves as a persistent technical profile that influences agent behavior across all projects.
+
+**Purpose and Benefits:**
+- **Consistency**: Ensures all agents reference the same technical preferences
+- **Efficiency**: Eliminates the need to repeatedly specify preferred technologies
+- **Personalization**: Agents provide recommendations aligned with user preferences
+- **Learning**: Captures lessons learned and preferences that evolve over time
+
+**Content Structure:**
+The file typically includes preferred technology stacks, design patterns, external services, coding standards, and anti-patterns to avoid. Agents automatically reference this file during planning and development to provide contextually appropriate suggestions.
+
+**Integration Points:**
+- Templates can reference technical preferences during document generation
+- Agents suggest preferred technologies when appropriate for project requirements
+- When preferences don't fit project needs, agents explain alternatives
+- Web bundles can include preferences content for consistent behavior across platforms
+
+**Evolution Over Time:**
+Users are encouraged to continuously update this file with discoveries from projects, adding both positive preferences and technologies to avoid, creating a personalized knowledge base that improves agent recommendations over time.
+
+## 4. The Build & Delivery Process
+
+The framework is designed for two primary environments: local IDEs and web-based AI chat interfaces. The `web-builder.js` script is the key to supporting the latter.
+
+### 4.1. Web Builder (`tools/builders/web-builder.js`)
+
+- **Purpose**: This Node.js script is responsible for creating the `.txt` bundles found in `.bmad-core/web-bundles/`.
+- **Process**:
+  1. **Resolves Dependencies**: For a given agent or team, the script reads its definition file.
+  2. It recursively finds all dependent resources (tasks, templates, etc.) that the agent/team needs.
+  3. **Bundles Content**: It reads the content of all these files and concatenates them into a single, large text file, with clear separators indicating the original file path of each section.
+  4. **Outputs Bundle**: The final `.txt` file is saved in the `web-bundles` directory, ready to be uploaded to a web UI.
+
+### 4.2. Environment-Specific Usage
+
+- **For IDEs**: Users interact with the agents directly via their markdown files in `.bmad-core/agents/`. The IDE integration (for Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) knows how to call these agents.
+- **For Web UIs**: Users upload a pre-built bundle from `.bmad-core/web-bundles/`. This single file provides the AI with the context of the entire team and all their required tools and knowledge.
+
+## 5. BMAD Workflows
+
+### 5.1. The Planning Workflow
+
+Before development begins, BMAD follows a structured planning workflow that establishes the foundation for successful project execution:
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+    A["Start: Project Idea"] --> B{"Optional: Analyst Brainstorming"}
+    B -->|Yes| C["Analyst: Market Research & Analysis"]
+    B -->|No| D["Create Project Brief"]

+    H -->|Yes| I["Planning Complete"]
+    H -->|No| J["PO: Update Epics & Stories"]
+    J --> K["Update PRD/Architecture as needed"]
+    K --> G
+    I --> L["📁 Switch to IDE"]
+    L --> M["PO: Shard Documents"]
+    M --> N["Ready for SM/Dev Cycle"]
+    
+    style I fill:#34a853,color:#fff
+    style G fill:#f9ab00,color:#fff
+    style L fill:#1a73e8,color:#fff
+    style N fill:#34a853,color:#fff
+```
+
+**Key Planning Phases:**
+
+1. **Optional Analysis**: Analyst conducts market research and competitive analysis
+2. **Project Brief**: Foundation document created by Analyst or user
+3. **PRD Creation**: PM transforms brief into comprehensive product requirements
+4. **Architecture Design**: Architect creates technical foundation based on PRD
+5. **Validation & Alignment**: PO ensures all documents are consistent and complete
+6. **Refinement**: Updates to epics, stories, and documents as needed
+7. **Environment Transition**: Critical switch from web UI to IDE for development workflow
+8. **Document Preparation**: PO shards large documents for development consumption
+
+**Workflow Orchestration**: The `bmad-orchestrator` agent uses these workflow definitions to guide users through the complete process, ensuring proper transitions between planning (web UI) and development (IDE) phases.
+
+### 5.2. The Core Development Cycle
+
+Once the initial planning and architecture phases are complete, the project moves into a cyclical development workflow, as detailed in the `bmad-kb.md`. This ensures a steady, sequential, and quality-controlled implementation process.
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+    A["Start: Planning Artifacts Complete"] --> B["PO: Shard Epics"]
+    B --> C["PO: Shard Arch"]
+    C --> D["Development Phase"]
+    D --> E["Scrum Master: Drafts next story from sharded epic"]
+    E --> F{"User Approval"}
+    F -->|Approved| G["Dev: Implement Story"]
+    F -->|Needs Changes| E
+    G --> H["Dev: Complete story Tasks"]
+    H --> I{"User Verification"}
+    I -->|Verified Complete| J["Mark Story as Done"]
+    I -->|Needs Fixes| G
+    J --> E
+
+    style J fill:#34a853,color:#fff
+```
+
+This cycle continues, with the Scrum Master and Developer agents working in tandem, until all stories in the epic are completed.

+# BMAD Method Guide for Cursor
+
+This guide walks you through the complete BMAD workflow using Cursor as your AI-powered IDE.
+
+## Step 1: Install BMAD in Your Project
+
+1. Navigate to your project directory
+2. Run the BMAD installer:
+   ```bash
+   npx bmad-method install
+   ```
+3. When prompted:
+   - **Installation Type**: Choose "Complete installation (recommended)"
+   - **IDE**: Select "Cursor"
+
+This creates a `.bmad-core` folder with all agents and a `.cursor/rules` folder with agent rules.
+
+## Step 2: Set Up Team Fullstack in Gemini
+
+For ideation and planning, use Google's Gemini with the team-fullstack configuration:
+
+1. Open [Google AI Studio (Gemini)](https://aistudio.google.com/)
+2. Create a new chat
+3. Copy the contents of `/Users/brianmadison/dev/BMAD-METHOD/.bmad-core/web-bundles/teams/team-fullstack.txt`
+4. Paste this content into Gemini to set up the team
+
+### Gemini Planning Phase
+
+In Gemini, ask the BMAD team to help you:
+
+- **Ideate** your project concept
+- **Brainstorm** features and requirements
+- **Create a PRD** (Product Requirements Document)
+- **Design the architecture**
+
+Ask questions like:
+
+- "Help me brainstorm a [type of application] that does [core functionality]"
+- "Create a comprehensive PRD for this concept"
+- "Design the technical architecture for this system"
+
+Copy the PRD and architecture documents that Gemini creates into your project's `docs/` folder:
+
+- `docs/prd.md`
+- `docs/architecture.md`
+
+## Step 3: Back to Cursor - Document Sharding
+
+Once you have your PRD and architecture documents in the `docs/` folder:
+
+1. **Start a new chat in Cursor**
+2. **Load the bmad-master agent**: Type `@bmad-master`
+3. **Shard the PRD**: Type `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd`
+4. **Shard the architecture**: Type `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture`
+
+This creates organized folders:
+
+- `docs/prd/` - Contains broken down PRD sections
+- `docs/architecture/` - Contains broken down architecture sections
+
+## Step 4: Story Development Cycle
+
+Now begin the iterative development cycle:
+
+### Create Stories (Scrum Master)
+
+1. **Start a new chat**
+2. **Load SM agent**: Type `@sm`
+3. **Create story**: Type `*create` (this runs the create-next-story task)
+4. **Review the generated story**
+5. **If approved**: Set story status to "Approved" in the story file
+
+### Implement Stories (Developer)
+
+1. **Start a new chat**
+2. **Load Dev agent**: Type `@dev`
+3. **The agent will ask which story to implement**
+4. **Follow the development tasks** the agent provides
+5. **When story is complete**: Mark status as "Done"
+
+### Repeat the Cycle
+
+1. **Start a new chat with SM agent** (`@sm`)
+2. **Create next story**: Type `*create`
+3. **Review and approve**
+4. **Start new chat with Dev agent** (`@dev`)
+5. **Implement the story**
+6. **Repeat until project complete**
+
+## Available Agent Rules in Cursor
+
+All BMAD agents are available as Cursor rules (use `@` prefix):
+
+- `@bmad-master` - Universal task executor
+- `@sm` - Scrum Master for story creation
+- `@dev` - Full-stack developer for implementation
+- `@architect` - Solution architect for design
+- `@pm` - Product manager for planning
+- `@analyst` - Business analyst for requirements
+- `@qa` - QA specialist for testing
+- `@po` - Product owner for prioritization
+- `@ux-expert` - UX specialist for design
+
+## Cursor-Specific Features
+
+- **Agent rules are stored in**: `.cursor/rules/` as `.mdc` files
+- **Auto-completion**: Cursor will suggest `@agent-name` as you type
+- **Rule activation**: Rules activate automatically when you mention `@agent-name`
+- **Context awareness**: Agents have access to your current file context
+
+## Key Workflow Principles
+
+1. **Always start new chats** when switching agents to avoid context confusion
+2. **Use Gemini for initial planning** and ideation with the team-fullstack bundle
+3. **Use bmad-master for document management** (sharding, templates, etc.)
+4. **Follow the SM → Dev cycle** for consistent story development
+5. **Review and approve stories** before implementation begins
+
+## Tips for Success
+
+- **Keep chats focused**: Each chat should have one agent and one primary task
+- **Use \*help command**: Every agent supports `*help` to see available commands
+- **Review generated content**: Always review and approve stories before marking them ready
+- **Maintain status updates**: Keep story statuses current (Draft → Approved → InProgress → Done)
+- **Leverage Cursor's context**: Agents can see your current file selection for better assistance
+
+This workflow ensures systematic, AI-assisted development following agile principles with clear handoffs between planning, story creation, and implementation phases.

+# BMAD Method Guide for Roo Code
+
+This guide walks you through the complete BMAD workflow using Roo Code as your AI-powered IDE.
+
+## Step 1: Install BMAD in Your Project
+
+1. Navigate to your project directory
+2. Run the BMAD installer:
+   ```bash
+   npx bmad-method install
+   ```
+3. When prompted:
+   - **Installation Type**: Choose "Complete installation (recommended)"
+   - **IDE**: Select "Roo Code"
+
+This creates a `.bmad-core` folder with all agents and a `.roo/.roomodes` file with custom modes.
+
+## Step 2: Set Up Team Fullstack in Gemini
+
+For ideation and planning, use Google's Gemini with the team-fullstack configuration:
+
+1. Open [Google AI Studio (Gemini)](https://aistudio.google.com/)
+2. Create a new chat
+3. Copy the contents of `/Users/brianmadison/dev/BMAD-METHOD/.bmad-core/web-bundles/teams/team-fullstack.txt`
+4. Paste this content into Gemini to set up the team
+
+### Gemini Planning Phase
+
+In Gemini, ask the BMAD team to help you:
+
+- **Ideate** your project concept
+- **Brainstorm** features and requirements
+- **Create a PRD** (Product Requirements Document)
+- **Design the architecture**
+
+Ask questions like:
+
+- "Help me brainstorm a [type of application] that does [core functionality]"
+- "Create a comprehensive PRD for this concept"
+- "Design the technical architecture for this system"
+
+Copy the PRD and architecture documents that Gemini creates into your project's `docs/` folder:
+
+- `docs/prd.md`
+- `docs/architecture.md`
+
+## Step 3: Back to Roo Code - Document Sharding
+
+Once you have your PRD and architecture documents in the `docs/` folder:
+
+1. **Open your project in Roo Code**
+2. **Select the bmad-master mode** from the mode selector (usually in status bar)
+3. **Shard the PRD**: Type `*shard-doc docs/prd.md prd`
+4. **Shard the architecture**: Type `*shard-doc docs/architecture.md architecture`
+
+This creates organized folders:
+
+- `docs/prd/` - Contains broken down PRD sections
+- `docs/architecture/` - Contains broken down architecture sections
+
+## Step 4: Story Development Cycle
+
+Now begin the iterative development cycle:
+
+### Create Stories (Scrum Master)
+
+1. **Start a new chat or conversation**
+2. **Switch to SM mode**: Select `bmad-sm` from the mode selector
+3. **Create story**: Type `*create` (this runs the create-next-story task)
+4. **Review the generated story**
+5. **If approved**: Set story status to "Approved" in the story file
+
+### Implement Stories (Developer)
+
+1. **Start a new conversation**
+2. **Switch to Dev mode**: Select `bmad-dev` from the mode selector
+3. **The agent will ask which story to implement**
+4. **Follow the development tasks** the agent provides
+5. **When story is complete**: Mark status as "Done"
+
+### Repeat the Cycle
+
+1. **Switch to SM mode** (`bmad-sm`)
+2. **Create next story**: Type `*create`
+3. **Review and approve**
+4. **Switch to Dev mode** (`bmad-dev`)
+5. **Implement the story**
+6. **Repeat until project complete**
+
+## Available Custom Modes in Roo Code
+
+All BMAD agents are available as custom modes:
+
+- `bmad-bmad-master` - 🧙 Universal task executor
+- `bmad-sm` - 🏃 Scrum Master for story creation
+- `bmad-dev` - 💻 Full-stack developer for implementation
+- `bmad-architect` - 🏗️ Solution architect for design
+- `bmad-pm` - 📋 Product manager for planning
+- `bmad-analyst` - 📊 Business analyst for requirements
+- `bmad-qa` - 🧪 QA specialist for testing
+- `bmad-po` - 🎯 Product owner for prioritization
+- `bmad-ux-expert` - 🎨 UX specialist for design
+
+## Roo Code-Specific Features
+
+- **Custom modes are stored in**: `.roo/.roomodes` file
+- **Mode switching**: Use the mode selector in Roo Code's interface
+- **File permissions**: Each agent has specific file access permissions
+  - **Documentation agents** (SM, PM, PO, Analyst): Limited to `.md` and `.txt` files
+  - **Technical agents** (Dev, Architect, Master): Full file access
+  - **QA agents**: Access to test files and documentation
+  - **UX agents**: Access to design-related files
+- **Context preservation**: Modes maintain context within conversations
+
+## Key Workflow Principles
+
+1. **Switch modes instead of starting new chats** - Roo Code handles context better with mode switching
+2. **Use Gemini for initial planning** and ideation with the team-fullstack bundle
+3. **Use bmad-master mode for document management** (sharding, templates, etc.)
+4. **Follow the SM → Dev mode cycle** for consistent story development
+5. **Review and approve stories** before implementation begins
+
+## Tips for Success
+
+- **Use mode selector effectively**: Switch modes as needed for different tasks
+- **Respect file permissions**: Agents can only edit files they have permission for
+- **Use \*help command**: Every mode supports `*help` to see available commands
+- **Review generated content**: Always review and approve stories before marking them ready
+- **Maintain status updates**: Keep story statuses current (Draft → Approved → InProgress → Done)
+- **Leverage Roo's context**: Modes can maintain context across the conversation
+
+## File Permission Summary
+
+- **bmad-analyst, bmad-pm, bmad-po, bmad-sm**: `.md`, `.txt` files only
+- **bmad-architect**: `.md`, `.txt`, `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` files
+- **bmad-qa**: Test files (`.test.js`, `.spec.ts`, etc.) and `.md` files
+- **bmad-ux-expert**: `.md`, `.css`, `.scss`, `.html`, `.jsx`, `.tsx` files
+- **bmad-dev, bmad-bmad-master, bmad-orchestrator**: Full file access
+
+This workflow ensures systematic, AI-assisted development following agile principles with clear handoffs between planning, story creation, and implementation phases.

 # BMAD Method Expansion Packs
 
-## Overview
-
-Expansion packs extend BMAD Method with specialized capabilities for specific use cases. They allow teams to add functionality without cluttering the core workflow.
-
-## Core BMAD Flow
-
-The original BMAD Method follows a simple, proven flow:
-
-````text
-Analyst → PM → Architect → SM → Dev
-(Brief) → (PRD) → (Architecture) → (Stories) → (Implementation)
-```text
-
-This core flow remains clean and focused on getting from business requirements to working software.
-
-## Why Expansion Packs?
-
-As BMAD has evolved, we've identified specialized needs that don't fit every project:
-
-- Infrastructure and DevOps workflows
-- UX/UI design processes
-- Data engineering pipelines
-- Security and compliance workflows
-- Mobile development patterns
-- Real World assistance and workflows without AI Agents development in mind
-
-Rather than complicate the core method, expansion packs let you "opt-in" to additional capabilities.
-
-## Available Expansion Packs
-
-### 1. Infrastructure & DevOps
-
-- **Purpose**: Cloud infrastructure design and platform engineering
-- **Adds**: DevOps agent, infrastructure templates, validation checklists
-- **Use When**: You need to design and implement cloud infrastructure
-
-### 2. UX/Design (Coming Soon)
-
-- **Purpose**: User experience and interface design workflows
-- **Adds**: Design Architect agent, UI component templates
-- **Use When**: You need detailed UI/UX design processes
-
-### 3. Data Engineering (Planned)
-
-- **Purpose**: Data pipeline and analytics infrastructure
-- **Adds**: Data Engineer agent, ETL templates, data architecture patterns
-- **Use When**: You're building data-intensive applications
-
-## Structure of an Expansion Pack
-
-Each expansion pack contains:
-
-```text
-expansion-pack-name/
-├── README.md           # Overview and usage instructions
-├── manifest.yml        # Installation configuration
-├── agents/            # Agent configurations (.yml)
-├── personas/          # Persona definitions (.md)
-├── ide-agents/        # IDE-specific agents (.ide.md)
-├── templates/         # Document templates (.md)
-├── tasks/            # Specialized tasks (.md)
-└── checklists/       # Validation checklists (.md)
-````
-
-## Installing an Expansion Pack
-
-### Method 1: NPM Script
-
-````bash
-npm run install:expansion <pack-name>
-```text
-
-### Method 2: Direct Script
-
-```bash
-node tools/install-expansion-pack.js <pack-name>
-````
-
-### Method 3: Manual
-
-1. Copy files according to manifest.yml
-2. Update team configurations as needed
-3. Rebuild bundles with `npm run build`
-
-## Creating Your Own Expansion Pack
-
-1. Create a new folder under `expansion-packs/`
-2. Add your specialized agents, templates, and tasks
-3. Create a manifest.yml defining installation mappings
-4. Write a README explaining purpose and usage
-5. Test installation process
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Keep Core Simple**: Don't add to core what could be an expansion
-2. **Clear Purpose**: Each pack should solve a specific need
-3. **Self-Contained**: Packs should work independently when possible
-4. **Document Well**: Clear README and usage examples
-5. **Version Compatibility**: Note which BMAD version the pack requires
-
-## Future Vision
-
-We envision a library of expansion packs for various industries and use cases:
-
-- Healthcare compliance workflows
-- Financial services security patterns
-- E-commerce optimization flows
-- Gaming development pipelines
-- IoT device management
-
-The goal is to keep BMAD's core simple while allowing infinite extensibility through modular expansion packs.
+Expansion packs extend BMAD-METHOD beyond traditional software development, providing specialized agent teams, templates, and workflows for specific domains and industries. Each pack is a self-contained ecosystem designed to bring the power of AI-assisted workflows to any field. Coming soon.

+# 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
