-# 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.

-# 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
-
-**STOP HERE AND CREATE PLAN FIRST**
-
-Create `expansion-packs/{pack-name}/plan.md` with:
-
-```markdown
-# {Pack Name} Expansion Pack Plan
-
-## Overview
-
-- Pack Name: {name}
-- Description: {description}
-- Target Domain: {domain}
-
-## Components to Create
-
-### Agents
-
-- [ ] {pack-name}-orchestrator (REQUIRED: Custom BMAD orchestrator)
-- [ ] {agent-1-name}
-- [ ] {agent-2-name}
-
-### Tasks
-
-- [ ] {task-1} (referenced by: {agent})
-- [ ] {task-2} (referenced by: {agent})
-
-### Templates
-
-- [ ] {template-1} (used by: {agent/task})
-- [ ] {template-2} (used by: {agent/task})
-
-### Checklists
-
-- [ ] {checklist-1}
-- [ ] {checklist-2}
-
-### Data Files Required from User
-
-- [ ] {filename}.{ext} - {description of content needed}
-- [ ] {filename2}.{ext} - {description of content needed}
-
-## Approval
-
-User approval received: [ ] Yes
-```
-
-**Wait for user approval before proceeding to Phase 2**
-
-### Phase 2: Component Design
-
-#### 2.1 Create Orchestrator Agent
-
-**FIRST PRIORITY**: Design the custom BMAD orchestrator:
-
-- **Name**: `{pack-name}-orchestrator`
-- **Purpose**: Master coordinator for domain-specific workflow
-- **Key Commands**: Domain-specific orchestration commands
-- **Integration**: How it leverages other pack agents
-- **Workflow**: The complete process it manages
-
-#### 2.2 Identify Specialist Agents
-
-For each additional agent:
-
-- **Role**: What specialist is needed?
-- **Expertise**: Domain-specific knowledge required
-- **Interactions**: How they work with orchestrator and BMAD agents
-- **Unique Value**: What can't existing agents handle?
-- **Required Tasks**: List ALL tasks this agent references
-- **Required Templates**: List ALL templates this agent uses
-- **Required Data**: List ALL data files this agent needs
-
-#### 2.3 Design Specialized Tasks
-
-For each task:
-
-- **Purpose**: What specific action does it enable?
-- **Inputs**: What information is needed?
-- **Process**: Step-by-step instructions
-- **Outputs**: What gets produced?
-- **Agent Usage**: Which agents will use this task?
-
-#### 2.4 Create Document Templates
-
-For each template:
-
-- **Document Type**: What kind of document?
-- **Structure**: Sections and organization
-- **Placeholders**: Variable content areas
-- **Instructions**: How to complete each section
-- **Standards**: Any format requirements
-
-#### 2.5 Define Checklists
-
-For each checklist:
-
-- **Purpose**: What quality aspect does it verify?
-- **Scope**: When should it be used?
-- **Items**: Specific things to check
-- **Criteria**: Pass/fail conditions
-
-### Phase 3: Implementation
-
-**Only proceed after plan.md is approved**
-
-#### 3.1 Create Directory Structure
-
-```text
-expansion-packs/
-└── {pack-name}/
-    ├── plan.md (ALREADY CREATED)
-    ├── manifest.yml
-    ├── README.md

-        └── {agent-id}.ide.md
-```
-
-#### 3.2 Create Manifest
-
-Create `manifest.yml`:
-
-```yaml
-name: {pack-name}
-version: 1.0.0
-description: >-
-  {Detailed description of the expansion pack}
-author: {Your name or organization}

-
-  templates:
-    - {template-name}.md
-
-  checklists:

-
-# Data files users must provide
-required_data:

-
-  Required data files:
-  - {data-file}.{ext}: {description}
-
-  To use: npm run agent {pack-name}-orchestrator
-```
-
-### Phase 4: Content Creation
-
-**Work through plan.md checklist systematically**
-
-#### 4.1 Create Orchestrator First
-
-1. Create `personas/{pack-name}-orchestrator.md` with BMAD-style commands
-2. Create `agents/{pack-name}-orchestrator.yml` configuration
-3. Create `ide-agents/{pack-name}-orchestrator.ide.md`
-4. Verify ALL referenced tasks exist
-5. Verify ALL referenced templates exist
-6. Document data file requirements
-
-#### 4.2 Agent Creation Order
-
-For each additional agent:
-
-1. Create persona file with domain expertise
-2. Create agent configuration YAML
-3. Create IDE-optimized version
-4. **STOP** - Verify all referenced tasks/templates exist
-5. Create any missing tasks/templates immediately
-6. Mark agent as complete in plan.md
-
-#### 4.3 Task Creation Guidelines
-
-Each task should:
-
-1. Have a clear, single purpose
-2. Include step-by-step instructions
-3. Provide examples when helpful
-4. Reference domain standards
-5. Be reusable across agents
-
-#### 4.4 Template Best Practices
-
-Templates should:
-
-1. Include clear section headers
-2. Provide inline instructions
-3. Show example content
-4. Mark required vs optional sections
-5. Include domain-specific terminology
-
-### Phase 5: Verification and Documentation
-

-8. "What's the typical workflow from start to finish?"
-9. "How should it integrate with core BMAD agents?"
-
-### Agent Planning
-
-10. "For agent '{name}', what is their specific expertise?"
-11. "What tasks will this agent reference? (I'll create them)"
-12. "What templates will this agent use? (I'll create them)"
-13. "What data files will this agent need? (You'll provide these)"
-
-### Task Design
-
-14. "Describe the '{task}' process step-by-step"
-15. "What information is needed to complete this task?"
-16. "What should the output look like?"
-
-### Template Creation
-
-17. "What sections should the '{template}' document have?"
-18. "Are there any required formats or standards?"
-19. "Can you provide an example of a completed document?"
-
-### Data Requirements
-
-20. "For {data-file}, what information should it contain?"
-21. "What format should this data be in?"
-22. "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 IDE Agent Task
-
-This task guides you through creating a new BMAD IDE agent that conforms to the IDE agent schema and integrates effectively with workflows and teams.
-
-**Note for User-Created IDE Agents**: If creating a custom IDE agent for your own use (not part of the core BMAD system), prefix the agent ID with a period (e.g., `.api-expert`) to ensure it's gitignored and won't conflict with repository updates.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. Load and understand the IDE agent schema: `/bmad-core/schemas/ide-agent-schema.yml`
-2. Review existing IDE agents in `/bmad-core/ide-agents/` for patterns and conventions
-3. Review workflows in `/bmad-core/workflows/` to identify integration opportunities
-4. Consider if this agent should also have a full agent counterpart
-
-## Process
-
-### 1. Define Agent Core Identity
-
-Based on the schema's required fields:
-
-- **Role**: Must end with "IDE Agent" (pattern: `^.+ IDE Agent$`)
-  - Example: "API Specialist IDE Agent", "Test Engineer IDE Agent"
-- **Agent ID**: Following pattern `^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$`
-  - For user agents: prefix with period (`.api-expert`)
-- **Primary Purpose**: Define ONE focused capability
-
-### 2. Create File References
-
-All IDE agents must include (per schema):
-
-```yaml
-taskroot: "bmad-core/tasks/"  # Required constant
-templates: "bmad-core/templates/"  # Optional but common
-checklists: "bmad-core/checklists/"  # Optional
-default-template: "bmad-core/templates/{template-name}"  # If agent creates documents
-```
-
-Additional custom references as needed (e.g., `story-path`, `coding-standards`)
-
-### 3. Define Persona (Schema Required Fields)
-
-Create concise persona following schema structure:
-
-- **Name**: Character name (e.g., "Alex", "Dana")
-- **Role**: Professional role title
-- **Identity**: Extended specialization (20+ chars)
-- **Focus**: Primary objectives (20+ chars)
-- **Style**: Communication approach (20+ chars)
-
-Keep descriptions brief for IDE efficiency!
-
-### 4. Core Principles (Minimum 3 Required)
-
-Must include these based on schema validation:
-
-1. **Numbered Options Protocol** (REQUIRED): "When presenting multiple options, always use numbered lists for easy selection"
-2. **[Domain-Specific Principle]**: Related to agent's expertise
-3. **[Quality/Efficiency Principle]**: How they ensure excellence
-4. Additional principles as needed (keep concise)
-
-### 5. Critical Startup Operating Instructions
-
-First instruction MUST announce name/role and mention *help (schema requirement):
-
-```markdown
-1. Announce your name and role, and let the user know they can say *help at any time to list the commands on your first response as a reminder even if their initial request is a question, wrapping the question. For Example 'I am {role} {name}, {response}... Also remember, you can enter `*help` to see a list of commands at any time.'
-```
-
-Add 2-5 additional startup instructions specific to the agent's role.
-
-### 6. Commands (Minimum 2 Required)
-
-Required commands per schema:
-
-```markdown
-- `*help` - Show these available commands as a numbered list offering selection
-- `*chat-mode` - Enter conversational mode, staying in character while offering `advanced-elicitation` when providing advice or multiple options. Ends if other task or command is given
-```
-
-Add role-specific commands:
-- Use pattern: `^\\*[a-z][a-z0-9-]*( \\{[^}]+\\})?$`
-- Include clear descriptions (10+ chars)
-- Reference tasks when appropriate
-
-### 7. Workflow Integration Analysis
-
-Analyze where this IDE agent fits in workflows:
-
-1. **Load workflow definitions** from `/bmad-core/workflows/`
-2. **Identify integration points**:
-   - Which workflow phases benefit from this agent?
-   - Can they replace or augment existing workflow steps?
-   - Do they enable new workflow capabilities?
-
-3. **Suggest workflow enhancements**:
-   - For technical agents → development/implementation phases
-   - For testing agents → validation phases
-   - For design agents → planning/design phases
-   - For specialized agents → specific workflow steps
-
-4. **Document recommendations**:
-   ```markdown
-   ## Workflow Integration
-   
-   This agent enhances the following workflows:
-   - `greenfield-service`: API design phase (between architecture and implementation)
-   - `brownfield-service`: API refactoring and modernization
-   - User can specify: {custom workflow integration}
-   ```
-
-### 8. Team Integration Suggestions
-
-Consider which teams benefit from this IDE agent:
-
-1. **Analyze team compositions** in `/bmad-core/agent-teams/`
-2. **Suggest team additions**:
-   - Technical specialists → development teams

-# 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` (required orchestrator)
-- `sm` - Sprint coordination
-- `dev` - Implementation
-- `qa` - Quality assurance
-- `architect` - Technical guidance
-
-**For Full-Stack Teams:**
-- `bmad` (required orchestrator)
-- `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

-# 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>

-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.

 ## 🚀 Quick Start
 
-### Install a Single Agent (Recommended for First Time)
+### Fastest Start: Web UI (2 minutes) 🏃‍♂️
 
-```bash
-npx bmad-method install --agent pm --ide cursor
-```
+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.
 
-This installs the Product Manager agent with all its dependencies and configures it for your IDE.
+> 💡 **All pre-built bundles are in the `dist/` folder** - ready to copy and use immediately!
 
-### Install Complete Framework
+### IDE Quick Start (5 minutes) 💻
 
-```bash
-npx bmad-method install --full --ide cursor
-```
+**Prerequisites**: Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) (v20 or higher)
+
+Run `npx bmad-method install`
+
+This installs all agents and configures them for your IDE. If you have an existing v3 installation, it will offer to upgrade it automatically.

-### Method 1: CLI Installer (Recommended) 🎯
+### Method 1: Pre-Built Web Bundles (Fastest) 📦
 
-The easiest way to get started is with our interactive CLI installer:
+For ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini web interfaces:
 
-```bash
-# Interactive installation
-npx bmad-method install
+1. Choose a bundle:
+   - **Recommended**: `dist/teams/team-fullstack.txt` (complete development team)
+   - Or pick from individual agents in `dist/agents/`
+2. Upload to your AI platform (Gemini Gem, CustomGPT, or directly in chat)
+3. Set instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
+4. Type `/help` to see available commands
 
-# Install specific agent
-npx bmad-method install --agent pm --ide cursor
+### Method 2: CLI Installer (For IDEs) 🎯
 
-# Install everything
-npx bmad-method install --full --ide claude-code
-```
+**Prerequisites**: Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20+ first
+
+Install directly into your project: `npx bmad-method install`
 
 **Supported IDEs:**
 
-The BMad Method works with any idea, but there are some built in install helpers, more coming soon.
+The BMad Method works with any IDE, but has built-in integration for:
 
 - `cursor` - Cursor IDE with @agent commands
 - `claude-code` - Claude Code with /agent commands
 - `windsurf` - Windsurf with @agent commands
-
-### Method 2: Pre-Built Web Bundles 📦
-
-For ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini web interfaces:
-
-1. Download bundles from `.bmad-core/web-bundles/`
-2. Upload a single `.txt` bundle file to your AI chat (agents or teams)
-3. Start with: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
-4. Type `/help` to see available commands
+- `roo` - Roo Code with custom modes (see `.roomodes`)
+- More coming soon - BUT ITS easy to use with ANY IDE - just copy the bmad-code folder to your project, and rename it .bmad-code.

 # List all available agents
 npx bmad-method list
 
-# Update existing installation with changes
-npx bmad-method update
+# 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/`.

+# 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.
+
+## IDE Development Workflow
+
+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.

+# 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
+
+## Executive Summary
+Content here...
+
+## Functional Requirements Specs
+Content here...
+
+## Epic 1
+### User Management System
+Epic content...
+
+## Epic 2
+### Payment Processing
+Epic content...
+
+## Success Metrics
+Content here...
+
+```

+# 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:

+
+Present each document section by section, using the advanced elicitation task after each major section.]]
+
+### 3. Document Structure Template
+
+[[LLM: Use this standardized structure for each documentation file, adapting content as needed:
+
+```markdown
+# {{Document Title}}
+

+{{Comprehensive information organized into logical sections}}
+
+## Examples
+
+{{Concrete examples showing proper usage or implementation}}
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+{{Recurring patterns agents should recognize and follow}}
+
+## Things to Avoid
+
+{{Anti-patterns, deprecated approaches, or common mistakes}}
+
+## Related Resources
+
+{{Links to other relevant documentation or external resources}}
+```
+
+Each document should be:
+
+- **Concrete and actionable** - Focus on what agents need to do, not just concepts
+- **Pattern-focused** - Highlight recurring patterns agents can recognize and replicate
+- **Example-rich** - Include specific code examples and real file references
+- **Context-aware** - Reference actual project files, folders, and conventions
+- **Assumption-free** - Don't assume agents know project history or implicit knowledge

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

+# 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.

+# Advanced Elicitation Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+- Provide optional reflective and brainstorming actions to enhance content quality
+- Enable deeper exploration of ideas through structured elicitation techniques
+- Support iterative refinement through multiple analytical perspectives
+
+## Task Instructions
+
+### 1. Section Context and Review
+
+[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a section:
+
+1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented (e.g., "Please review the technology choices for completeness and alignment with your project needs. Pay special attention to version numbers and any missing categories.")
+
+2. If the section contains Mermaid diagrams, explain each diagram briefly before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The component diagram shows the main system modules and their interactions. Notice how the API Gateway routes requests to different services.")
+
+3. If the section contains multiple distinct items (like multiple components, multiple patterns, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to:
+
+   - The entire section as a whole
+   - Individual items within the section (specify which item when selecting an action)
+
+4. Then present the action list as specified below.]]
+
+### 2. Ask for Review and Present Action List
+
+[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Reflective, Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple items in the section, mention they can specify which item(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection. If an elicitation action (0-8) is chosen, execute it and then re-offer this combined review/elicitation choice. If option 9 is chosen, or if the user provides direct feedback, proceed accordingly.]]
+
+**Present the numbered list (0-9) with this exact format:**
+
+```text
+**Advanced Reflective, Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions**
+Choose an action (0-9 - 9 to bypass - HELP for explanation of these options):
+
+0. Expand or Contract for Audience
+1. Explain Reasoning (CoT Step-by-Step)
+2. Critique and Refine
+3. Analyze Logical Flow and Dependencies
+4. Assess Alignment with Overall Goals
+5. Identify Potential Risks and Unforeseen Issues
+6. Challenge from Critical Perspective (Self or Other Persona)
+7. Explore Diverse Alternatives (ToT-Inspired)
+8. Hindsight is 20/20: The 'If Only...' Reflection
+9. Proceed / No Further Actions
+```
+
+### 2. Processing Guidelines
+
+**Do NOT show:**
+
+- The full protocol text with `[[LLM: ...]]` instructions
+- Detailed explanations of each option unless executing or the user asks, when giving the definition you can modify to tie its relevance
+- Any internal template markup
+
+**After user selection from the list:**
+
+- Execute the chosen action according to the protocol instructions below
+- Ask if they want to select another action or proceed with option 9 once complete
+- Continue until user selects option 9 or indicates completion
+
+## Action Definitions
+
+0. Expand or Contract for Audience
+   [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the content (add more detail, elaborate) or 'contract' it (simplify, clarify, make more concise). Also, ask if there's a specific target audience they have in mind. Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current role's perspective, tailored to the specified audience if provided.]]
+
+1. Explain Reasoning (CoT Step-by-Step)
+   [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step thinking process, characteristic of your role, that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this content.]]
+
+2. Critique and Refine
+   [[LLM: From your current role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for flaws, inconsistencies, or areas for improvement, and then suggest a refined version reflecting your expertise.]]
+
+3. Analyze Logical Flow and Dependencies
+   [[LLM: From your role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical progression, internal consistency, and any relevant dependencies. Confirm if elements are presented in an effective order.]]
+
+4. Assess Alignment with Overall Goals
+   [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current content contributes to the stated overall goals of the document, interpreting this from your specific role's perspective and identifying any misalignments you perceive.]]
+
+5. Identify Potential Risks and Unforeseen Issues
+   [[LLM: Based on your role's expertise, brainstorm potential risks, overlooked edge cases, or unintended consequences related to the current content or proposal.]]
+
+6. Challenge from Critical Perspective (Self or Other Persona)
+   [[LLM: Adopt a critical perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another role or persona (e.g., 'as a customer', 'as [Another Persona Name]'), critique the content or play devil's advocate from that specified viewpoint. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your own current persona's viewpoint, arguing against the proposal or current content and highlighting weaknesses or counterarguments specific to your concerns. This can also randomly include YAGNI when appropriate, such as when trimming the scope of an MVP, the perspective might challenge the need for something to cut MVP scope.]]
+
+7. Explore Diverse Alternatives (ToT-Inspired)
+   [[LLM: From your role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches or solutions to the current topic. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2 distinct alternatives, detailing the pros, cons, and potential implications you foresee for each.]]
+
+8. Hindsight is 20/20: The 'If Only...' Reflection
+   [[LLM: In your current persona, imagine it's a retrospective for a project based on the current content. What's the one 'if only we had known/done X...' that your role would humorously or dramatically highlight, along with the imagined consequences?]]
+
+9. Proceed / No Further Actions
+   [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]]

+
+==================== START: tasks#create-doc ====================
+# 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

+
+## 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.
+
+## IDE Development Workflow
+
+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.
+==================== END: data#bmad-kb ====================
+
+==================== START: utils#workflow-management ====================
+# 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
+- Use `/agent-list` to show agents in the current bundle
+- 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

+## 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.
+```text
+
+### /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
+```text
+
+### /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?
+```text
+
+### /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: 2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z
+    prd:
+      status: in-progress
+      created_by: pm
+      started: 2024-01-15T11:00:00.000Z
+```
+
+### 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?
+```text
+
+## 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...
+```text
+
+## 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.

+# 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

 ## 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>
