feat: v6.0.0-alpha.0 - the future is now

* feat: add OpenCode integration implementation plan for BMAD-METHOD

* installer(opencode): add OpenCode target metadata in install.config.yaml

* chore(deps): add comment-json for JSONC parsing in OpenCode integration

* feat(installer/opencode): implement setupOpenCode with minimal instructions merge and BMAD-managed agents/commands

* feat(installer): add OpenCode (SST) to IDE selector and CLI --ide help

* fix(opencode): align generated opencode.json(c) with schema (instructions as strings; agent.prompt; command.template; remove unsupported fields)

* feat(installer): enhance OpenCode setup with agent selection and prefix options

* fix: update configuration file references from `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` to `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` across multiple agent and task files for consistency and clarity.

* refactor: streamline OpenCode configuration prompts and normalize instruction paths for agents and tasks

* feat: add tools property to agent definitions for enhanced functionality. Otherwise opencode consders the subagents as readonly

* feat: add extraction of 'whenToUse'  from agents markdown files for improved agent configuration in opencode

* feat: enhance task purpose extraction from markdown files with improved parsing and cleanup logic

* feat: add collision warnings for non-BMAD-managed agent and command keys during setup

* feat: generate and update AGENTS.md for OpenCode integration with agent and task details

* feat: add compact AGENTS.md generator and JSON-only integration for OpenCode

* chore(docs): remove completed OpenCode integration implementation plans

* feat: enable default prefixes for agent and command keys to avoid collisions

* fix: remove unnecessary line breaks in 'whenToUse' descriptions for QA agents to mathc the rest of the agents definitions and improve programatic parsing of whenToUse prop

* fix: update OpenCode references to remove 'SST' for consistency across documentation and configuration

* fix: update agent mode from 'subagent' to 'all' for consistency in agent definitions

* fix: consolidate 'whenToUse' description format for clarity and consistent parsing

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

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

-# Contributing to this project
+# Contributing to BMad
 
-Thank you for considering contributing to this project! This document outlines the process for contributing and some guidelines to follow.
+Thank you for considering contributing to the BMad project! We believe in **Human Amplification, Not Replacement** - bringing out the best thinking in both humans and AI through guided collaboration.
 
-🆕 **New to GitHub or pull requests?** Check out our [beginner-friendly Pull Request Guide](docs/how-to-contribute-with-pull-requests.md) first!
+💬 **Discord Community**: Join our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj) for real-time discussions:
 
-Also note, we use the discussions feature in GitHub to have a community to discuss potential ideas, uses, additions and enhancements.
+- **#general-dev** - Technical discussions, feature ideas, and development questions
+- **#bugs-issues** - Bug reports and issue discussions
 
-## Code of Conduct
+## Our Philosophy
 
-By participating in this project, you agree to abide by our Code of Conduct. Please read it before participating.
+### BMad Core™: Universal Foundation
 
-## How to Contribute
+BMad Core empowers humans and AI agents working together in true partnership across any domain through our **C.O.R.E. Framework** (Collaboration Optimized Reflection Engine):
+
+- **Collaboration**: Human-AI partnership where both contribute unique strengths
+- **Optimized**: The collaborative process refined for maximum effectiveness
+- **Reflection**: Guided thinking that helps discover better solutions and insights
+- **Engine**: The powerful framework that orchestrates specialized agents and workflows
+
+### BMad Method™: Agile AI-Driven Development
+
+The BMad Method is the flagship bmad module for agile AI-driven software development. It emphasizes thorough planning and solid architectural foundations to provide detailed context for developer agents, mirroring real-world agile best practices.
+
+### Core Principles
+
+**Partnership Over Automation** - AI agents act as expert coaches, mentors, and collaborators who amplify human capability rather than replace it.
+
+**Bidirectional Guidance** - Agents guide users through structured workflows while users push agents with advanced prompting. Both sides actively work to extract better information from each other.
+
+**Systems of Workflows** - BMad Core builds comprehensive systems of guided workflows with specialized agent teams for any domain.
+
+**Tool-Agnostic Foundation** - BMad Core remains tool-agnostic, providing stable, extensible groundwork that adapts to any domain.
+
+## What Makes a Good Contribution?
+
+Every contribution should strengthen human-AI collaboration. Ask yourself: **"Does this make humans and AI better together?"**
+
+**✅ Contributions that align:**
+
+- Enhance universal collaboration patterns
+- Improve agent personas and workflows
+- Strengthen planning and context continuity
+- Increase cross-domain accessibility
+- Add domain-specific modules leveraging BMad Core
+
+**❌ What detracts from our mission:**
+
+- Purely automated solutions that sideline humans
+- Tools that don't improve the partnership
+- Complexity that creates barriers to adoption
+- Features that fragment BMad Core's foundation
+
+## Before You Contribute
 
 ### Reporting Bugs
 
-- Check if the bug has already been reported in the Issues section
-- Include detailed steps to reproduce the bug
-- Include any relevant logs or screenshots
+1. **Check existing issues** first to avoid duplicates
+2. **Consider discussing in Discord** (#bugs-issues channel) for quick help
+3. **Use the bug report template** when creating a new issue - it guides you through providing:
+   - Clear bug description
+   - Steps to reproduce
+   - Expected vs actual behavior
+   - Model/IDE/BMad version details
+   - Screenshots or links if applicable
+4. **Indicate if you're working on a fix** to avoid duplicate efforts
 
-### Suggesting Features
+### Suggesting Features or New Modules
 
-- Check if the feature has already been suggested in the Issues section, and consider using the discussions tab in GitHub also. Explain the feature in detail and why it would be valuable.
+1. **Discuss first in Discord** (#general-dev channel) - the feature request template asks if you've done this
+2. **Check existing issues and discussions** to avoid duplicates
+3. **Use the feature request template** when creating an issue
+4. **Be specific** about why this feature would benefit the BMad community and strengthen human-AI collaboration
+
+### Before Starting Work
+
+⚠️ **Required before submitting PRs:**
+
+1. **For bugs**: Check if an issue exists (create one using the bug template if not)
+2. **For features**: Discuss in Discord (#general-dev) AND create a feature request issue
+3. **For large changes**: Always open an issue first to discuss alignment
+
+Please propose small, granular changes! For large or significant changes, discuss in Discord and open an issue first. This prevents wasted effort on PRs that may not align with planned changes.
+
+## Pull Request Guidelines
+
+### Which Branch?
+
+**Submit to `next` branch** (most contributions):
+
+- ✨ New features or agents
+- 🎨 Enhancements to existing features
+- 📚 Documentation updates
+- ♻️ Code refactoring
+- ⚡ Performance improvements
+- 🧪 New tests
+- 🎁 New bmad modules
+
+**Submit to `main` branch** (critical only):
+
+- 🚨 Critical bug fixes that break basic functionality
+- 🔒 Security patches
+- 📚 Fixing dangerously incorrect documentation
+- 🐛 Bugs preventing installation or basic usage
+
+**When in doubt, submit to `next`**. We'd rather test changes thoroughly before they hit stable.
+
+### PR Size Guidelines
+
+- **Ideal PR size**: 200-400 lines of code changes
+- **Maximum PR size**: 800 lines (excluding generated files)
+- **One feature/fix per PR**: Each PR should address a single issue or add one feature
+- **If your change is larger**: Break it into multiple smaller PRs that can be reviewed independently
+- **Related changes**: Even related changes should be separate PRs if they deliver independent value
+
+### Breaking Down Large PRs
+
+If your change exceeds 800 lines, use this checklist to split it:
+
+- [ ] Can I separate the refactoring from the feature implementation?
+- [ ] Can I introduce the new API/interface in one PR and implementation in another?
+- [ ] Can I split by file or module?
+- [ ] Can I create a base PR with shared utilities first?
+- [ ] Can I separate test additions from implementation?
+- [ ] Even if changes are related, can they deliver value independently?
+- [ ] Can these changes be merged in any order without breaking things?
+
+Example breakdown:
+
+1. PR #1: Add utility functions and types (100 lines)
+2. PR #2: Refactor existing code to use utilities (200 lines)
+3. PR #3: Implement new feature using refactored code (300 lines)
+4. PR #4: Add comprehensive tests (200 lines)
+
+**Note**: PRs #1 and #4 could be submitted simultaneously since they deliver independent value.
 
 ### Pull Request Process
 
-Please only propose small granular commits! If its large or significant, please discuss in the discussions tab and open up an issue first. I do not want you to waste your time on a potentially very large PR to have it rejected because it is not aligned or deviates from other planned changes. Communicate and lets work together to build and improve this great community project!
+#### New to Pull Requests?
 
-1. Fork the repository
-2. Create a new branch (`git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name`)
-3. Make your changes
-4. Run any tests or linting to ensure quality
-5. Commit your changes with clear, descriptive messages following our commit message convention
-6. Push to your branch (`git push origin feature/your-feature-name`)
-7. Open a Pull Request against the main branch
+If you're new to GitHub or pull requests, here's a quick guide:
 
-## Commit Message Convention
+1. **Fork the repository** - Click the "Fork" button on GitHub to create your own copy
+2. **Clone your fork** - `git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/bmad-method.git`
+3. **Create a new branch** - Never work on `main` directly!
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b fix/description
+   # or
+   git checkout -b feature/description
+   ```
+4. **Make your changes** - Edit files, keeping changes small and focused
+5. **Commit your changes** - Use clear, descriptive commit messages
+   ```bash
+   git add .
+   git commit -m "fix: correct typo in README"
+   ```
+6. **Push to your fork** - `git push origin fix/description`
+7. **Create the Pull Request** - Go to your fork on GitHub and click "Compare & pull request"
 
-PRs with a wall of AI Generated marketing hype that is unclear in what is being proposed will be closed and rejected. Your best change to contribute is with a small clear PR description explaining, what is the issue being solved or gap in the system being filled. Also explain how it leads to the core guiding principles of the project.
+### PR Description Template
+
+Keep your PR description concise and focused. Use this template:
+
+```markdown
+## What
+
+[1-2 sentences describing WHAT changed]
+
+## Why
+
+[1-2 sentences explaining WHY this change is needed]
+Fixes #[issue number] (if applicable)
+
+## How
+
+## [2-3 bullets listing HOW you implemented it]
+
+-
+-
+
+## Testing
+
+[1-2 sentences on how you tested this]
+```
+
+**Maximum PR description length: 200 words** (excluding code examples if needed)
+
+### Good vs Bad PR Descriptions
+
+❌ **Bad Example:**
+
+> This revolutionary PR introduces a paradigm-shifting enhancement to the system's architecture by implementing a state-of-the-art solution that leverages cutting-edge methodologies to optimize performance metrics...
+
+✅ **Good Example:**
+
+> **What:** Added validation for agent dependency resolution
+> **Why:** Build was failing silently when agents had circular dependencies
+> **How:**
+>
+> - Added cycle detection in dependency-resolver.js
+> - Throws clear error with dependency chain
+>   **Testing:** Tested with circular deps between 3 agents
+
+### Commit Message Convention
+
+Use conventional commits format:
+
+- `feat:` New feature
+- `fix:` Bug fix
+- `docs:` Documentation only
+- `refactor:` Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
+- `test:` Adding missing tests
+- `chore:` Changes to build process or auxiliary tools
+
+Keep commit messages under 72 characters.
+
+### Atomic Commits
+
+Each commit should represent one logical change:
+
+- **Do:** One bug fix per commit
+- **Do:** One feature addition per commit
+- **Don't:** Mix refactoring with bug fixes
+- **Don't:** Combine unrelated changes
+
+## What Makes a Good Pull Request?
+
+✅ **Good PRs:**
+
+- Change one thing at a time
+- Have clear, descriptive titles
+- Explain what and why in the description
+- Include only the files that need to change
+- Reference related issue numbers
+
+❌ **Avoid:**
+
+- Changing formatting of entire files
+- Multiple unrelated changes in one PR
+- Copying your entire project/repo into the PR
+- Changes without explanation
+- Working directly on `main` branch
+
+## Common Mistakes to Avoid
+
+1. **Don't reformat entire files** - only change what's necessary
+2. **Don't include unrelated changes** - stick to one fix/feature per PR
+3. **Don't paste code in issues** - create a proper PR instead
+4. **Don't submit your whole project** - contribute specific improvements
 
 ## Code Style
 
 - Follow the existing code style and conventions
 - Write clear comments for complex logic
+- Keep dev agents lean - they need context for coding, not documentation
+- Web/planning agents can be larger with more complex tasks
+- Everything is natural language (markdown) - no code in core framework
+- Use bmad modules for domain-specific features

+## What Makes BMad-Core Different
 
-This makes it easy to benefit from the latest improvements, bug fixes, and new agents without losing your customizations!
+**Traditional AI**: Does the thinking for you, providing average, bland answers and solutions
+**BMad-CORE**: Brings out the best thinking in you and the AI through guided collaboration, elicitation, and facilitation
 
-## 🚀 Quick Start
+### Core Philosophy: Human Amplification, Not Replacement
 
-### Fastest Start: Web UI (2 minutes) 🏃‍♂️
+BMad-Core's AI agents act as expert coaches, mentors, and collaborators who:
 
-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.
+- Ask the right questions to stimulate your thinking
+- Provide structured frameworks for complex problems
+- Guide you through reflective processes to discover insights
+- Help you develop mastery in your chosen domains
+- Amplify your natural abilities rather than substituting for them
 
-> 💡 **All pre-built bundles are in the `dist/` folder** - ready to copy and use immediately!
+## The Collaboration Optimized Reflection Engine
 
-### IDE Quick Start (5 minutes) 💻
+At the heart of BMad-Core lies the **C.O.R.E.** system:
 
-**Prerequisites**: Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) (v20 or higher)
+- **Collaboration**: Human-AI partnership where both contribute unique strengths
+- **Optimized**: The collaborative process has been refined for maximum effectiveness
+- **Reflection**: Guided thinking that helps you discover better solutions and insights
+- **Engine**: The powerful framework that orchestrates specialized agents and workflows
 
-Run `npx bmad-method install`
+## Universal Domain Coverage Through Modules
 
-This installs all agents and configures them for your IDE. If you have an existing v3 installation, it will offer to upgrade it automatically.
+BMad-CORE works in ANY domain through specialized modules (previously called expansion packs)!

+- **BMad Core (core)**: Included and used to power every current and future module; includes a master orchestrator for the local environment and one for the web bundles used with ChatGPT or Gemini Gems, for example.
+- **BMad Method (bmm)**: Agile AI-driven software development - the classic that started it all and is still the best - but with v6, massively improved thanks to a rebuild from the ground up built on the new powerful BMad-CORE engine. The BMad Method has also been expanded to use a new "Scale Adaptive Workflow Engine"™.
+- **BMad BoMB (bmb)**: The BMad Builder is your Custom Agent, Workflow, and Module authoring tool - it's now easier than ever to customize existing modules or create whatever you can imagine as a standalone module.
+- **Creative Intelligence Suite (cis)**: Unlock innovation, problem-solving, and creative thinking! Brainstorming that was part of the BMad Method in the past is now part of this standalone module along with other workflows. The power of BMad modules still allows modules to borrow from each other - so the CIS, while standalone, also powers the brainstorming abilities for certain agents within the BMad Method!
 
-## Overview
+## Alpha Installation and Testing
 
-BMAD-METHOD (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-Driven Development) revolutionizes software development by providing specialized AI agents for every role in an Agile team. Each agent has deep expertise in their domain and can collaborate to deliver complete software projects.
+**Prerequisites**: [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20+ required
 
-### Why BMAD?
+Clone this repo ALPHA BRANCH to a folder. From the root of the folder, run `npm run install:bmad` and follow the installer questions.
 
-- **🎯 Specialized Expertise**: Each agent is an expert in their specific role
-- **🔄 True Agile Workflow**: Follows real Agile methodologies and best practices
-- **📦 Modular Design**: Use one agent or an entire team
-- **🛠️ IDE Integration**: Works seamlessly with Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf
-- **🌐 Platform Agnostic**: Use with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI platform
+The Core Module will always be installed. The default initial module selection will be BMM for all the core BMad Method functionality and flow from brainstorming through software development.
 
-## Installation
+Note on installation: All installs now go to a single folder called `bmad` instead of multiple folders. When you install a module, you may still see folders other than the one you selected in the destination/bmad folder. This is intentional and not a bug - it will copy over to those other folders only the minimum that is needed because it is shared across the modules. For example, for now during Alpha to test this feature - BMM relies on the brainstorming feature of the CIS and some items from CORE - so this is why even if you only select BMM, you will still see bmad/core and bmad/cis along with bmad/bmm.
 
-### Method 1: Pre-Built Web Bundles (Fastest) 📦
+## What's New in V6-ALPHA
 
-For ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini web interfaces:
+Stability, customizability, installation Q&A, massive prompt improvements.
 
-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
+Everything has been rewritten from the ground up with best practices and advances learned over previous versions, standardizing on prompt format techniques. There is a lot more core usage of XML or XML-type tags within markdown, with many conventions and standards that drastically increase adherence of the agents.
 
-### Method 2: CLI Installer (For IDEs) 🎯
+Customizability is a key theme of this new version. All agents are now customizable by modifying a file under the installation bmad/\_cfg/agents. Every agent installed will generate an agent file that you can customize. The nice thing about this is when agents change or update in future versions, your customizations in these sidecar files will never be lost! You can change the name, their personas, how they talk, what they call you, and most exciting - what language they communicate in!
 
-**Prerequisites**: Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20+ first
+The BMad installer is 100% new from the ground up. First, along the way you will add your name (what the agents will call you and what you will author documents as), what language you want the agents to talk to you in, and every module you select will have its own set of questions to customize the experience. Also, when you install, a consolidated agent party is created so now when you use party-mode in the IDE, it is super efficient for the agent running the party to simulate all installed agents. Post alpha release, this will manifest itself in many interesting ways in time for beta - but for now, have fun with party mode and epic sprint retrospectives!
 
-Install directly into your project: `npx bmad-method install`
+Speaking of installation - everything will now install to a single core bmad folder. No more separate root folders for every module! Instead, all will be contained within bmad/.
 
-**Supported IDEs:**
+All IDE selections now support the option to add in special install functionality per module. As an example with the alpha release, if you select the BMad Method and Claude Code, you will have an option to install pre-created Claude sub-agents. Not only do they get installed, but certain workflows will have injected into their instructions key indicators to the agent when to activate the sub-agents, removing some non-determinism. The sub-agent experience is still undergoing some work, so install them if you choose, and remove them if they become a pain.
 
-The BMad Method works with any IDE, but has built-in integration for:
+Also, when you read about the BoMB below, it will link to more information about various features in this new evolution of the BMad Code - one of the exciting ones is the new agent types - there are 3 now! The most exciting, with more info coming soon, are the new standalone tiny agents that you can easily generate and deploy free from any module - specialized for your own exact needs.
 
-- `cursor` - Cursor IDE with @agent commands
-- `claude-code` - Claude Code with /agent commands
-- `windsurf` - Windsurf with @agent 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.
+### BMad Method
 
-## Available Agents
+The BMad Method is significantly transforming and yet more powerful than ever. **Scale Adaptive** is a new term that means when you start the workflow to create a PRD or a GDD (or a simple tech-spec in the case of simple tasks), you will first answer some questions about the scope of the project, new vs. existing codebase and its state, and other questions. This will trigger a leveling of the effort from 0-4, and based on this scale adaptation, it will guide the workflow in different directions.
 
-### Core Development Team
+Right now, this is still a bit alpha feeling and disjointed, but before beta it will be tied together through all four workflow phases with a potential single orchestration if you choose - or you can still jump right in, especially for simple tasks that just need a simple tech-spec and then right off to development.
 
-| Agent       | Role               | Specialty                                     |
-| ----------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------- |
-| `analyst`   | Business Analyst   | market analysis, brainstorming, project brief |
-| `pm`        | Product Manager    | Product strategy, roadmaps, PRDs              |
-| `architect` | Solution Architect | System design, technical architecture         |
-| `dev`       | Developer          | Code implementation across all technologies   |
-| `qa`        | QA Specialist      | Testing strategies, quality assurance         |
-| `ux-expert` | UX Designer        | User experience, UI design, prototypes        |
-| `po`        | Product Owner      | Backlog management, story validation          |
-| `sm`        | Scrum Master       | Sprint planning, story creation               |
+To test and experience this now, here is the new main flow for BMM v6 alpha:
 
-### Meta Agents
+(Docs will be all linked in soon with new user guide and workflow diagrams coming this week)
 
-| Agent               | Role             | Specialty                                                           |
-| ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `bmad-orchestrator` | Team Coordinator | Multi-agent workflows, role switching, is part of every team bundle |
-| `bmad-master`       | Universal Expert | All capabilities without switching                                  |
+NOTE: Game Development expansion packs are all being rolled into the official BNad Method module - along with any more game engine platforms being added. Additionally game development planning for the GDD is not only scale adpative, but also adapts to the type of game you are making - so you can plan all that is needed for your dream game!
 
-## Usage
+#### **PHASE 1 - Analysis**
 
-### With IDE Integration
+**Analyst:**
 
-After installation with `--ide` flag:
+- `brainstorm-project`
+- `research` (market research, deep research, deep research prompt generation)
+- `product-brief`
 
-```bash
-# In Cursor
-@pm Create a PRD for a task management app
+**Game Designer (Optional):**
 
-# In Claude Code
-/architect Design a microservices architecture
+- `brainstorm-game`
+- `game-brief`
+- `research`
 
-# In Windsurf
-@dev Implement story 1.3
-```
+---
 
-### With Web UI (ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini)
+#### **PHASE 2 - Planning**
 
-After uploading a bundle you can ask /help of the agent to learn what it can do
+**PM:**
 
-### CLI Commands
+- `plan-project`
 
-```bash
-# List all available agents
-npx bmad-method list
+**Game Designer:**
 
-# Install or update (automatically detects existing installations)
-npx bmad-method install
+- `plan-game` (calls the same plan-project workflow, but input docs or your answers should drive it towards GDD)
 
-# Check installation status
-npx bmad-method status
-```
+---
 
-### Upgrading from V3 to V4
+#### **PHASE 3 - Solutioning**
 
-If you have an existing BMAD-METHOD V3 project, simply run the installer in your project directory:
+**Architect or Game Architect:**
 
-```bash
-npx bmad-method install
-# The installer will automatically detect your V3 installation and offer to upgrade
-```
+Just like the scale-adjusted planning, architecture is the same. No more document sharding though!! Now in the IDE you create an architecture that adapts to the type of project you are working on - based on the inputs from your PRD, it will adapt the sections it includes to your project type. No longer is the architecture biased just towards full stack or back-end APIs. There are many more options now, from embedded hardware to mobile to many other options - with many more coming with beta.
 
-The upgrade process will:
+- `solution-architecture`
 
-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
+> **Note:** Testing, DevOps, or security concerns beyond the basics are generally not included in the architecture. If it is more complicated, especially for complex massive undertakings, you will be suggested to pull in specific agents to help with those areas. _(Not released with alpha.0, coming soon)_
 
-After upgrading:
+Once the full architecture is complete, you can still use the PO to run the checklist to validate the epics and stories are still correct - although the architect should also be keeping them updated as needed (needs some tuning during alpha). Once done, then it's time to create the tech spec for your first epic.
 
-1. Review your documents in the `docs/` folder - if you had a PRD or architecture in your old project, copy it from the backup to the docs folder if they are not there.
-2. Optionally run the `doc-migration-task` to align your documents with V4 templates - you can do this with your agent my saying something like: 'run {drag in task} against {drag prd or arch file from docs} to align with {drag the template from .bmad-core/templates/full-stack-architecture.md}
-3. If you have separate front-end and backend architecture docs you can modify step 2 to merge both into a single full stack architecture or separate Front and Back end.
+- `tech-spec`
 
-The reason #2 and 3 are optional is because now BMad V4 makes sharding optional for the SM. See [Core Configuration](#-core-configuration-new-in-v4)
+The tech spec pulls all technical information from all planning thus far, along with any further research needed from the web to produce an **Epic Tech Spec** - each epic will have one. This is going to make the SM even more capable of finding the info it needs for each story when we get to phase 4!!
 
-**Note**: The agents in `.bmad-core/` fully replace the items in `bmad-agent/` - you can remove the backup folder versions.
+---
 
-### 🔧 Core Configuration (NEW in V4)
+#### **PHASE 4 - Implementation**
 
-**Critical**: V4 introduces `bmad-core/core-config.yml` - a powerful configuration file that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, whether it's V4-optimized or legacy. You can even now use non-standard PRDs and architectures!
+And now here we are at phase 4 - where we, just like in BMad Method of yore, use the SM and the Dev Agent. No more QA agent here though; the dev now has a dev task and also a senior dev agent review task.
 
-#### What is core-config.yml?
+**Scrum Master (SM) Tasks:**
 
-This configuration file tells BMAD agents exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It's the key to V4's flexibility and backwards compatibility.
+Before the dev starts, the SM will:
 
-#### Key Features:
+1. `create-story`
+2. `story-context` _(NEW!)_
 
-- **Version Awareness**: Agents understand if your PRD/Architecture follows V4 conventions or earlier versions
-- **Flexible Document Locations**: Works whether your epics are embedded in PRD or properly sharded
-- **Developer Context**: Define which files the dev agent should always load
-- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting story implementation
+**Story-context** is a game-changing new feature beyond what we had with create-story in the past. Create-story still pulls in all the info it needs from the tech-spec and elsewhere as needed (including previously completed stories), but the generation of the new story-context takes it up a whole new level.
 
-#### Why It Matters:
+This real-time prep means no more generic devLoadAlways list of story files. During the alpha phase, we will be tuning what goes into this context, but this is going to supercharge and specialize your dev to the story at hand!
 
-- **Use BMAD with ANY project structure** - V3, V4, or custom layouts
-- **No forced migrations** - Keep your existing document organization
-- **Customize developer workflow** - Specify exactly which files provide context
-- **Seamless upgrades** - Start with V3 docs and gradually adopt V4 patterns
+---
 
-See the [detailed core-config.yml guide](docs/user-guide.md#core-configuration-coreconfigyml) for configuration examples and best practices.
+> **🎉 There are many other exciting changes throughout for you to discover during the alpha BMad Method module!**
 
-## Teams & Workflows
+## CIS
 
-### Pre-Configured Teams
+The CIS has 5 agents to try out, each with their own workflow! This is a new module that will drastically change over time.
 
-Save context by using specialized teams:
+- [CIS Readme](./src/modules/cis/readme.md)
 
-- **Team All**: Complete Agile team with all 10 agents
-- **Team Fullstack**: Frontend + Backend development focus
-- **Team No-UI**: Backend/API development without UX
+### BoMB: BMad Builder
 
-### Workflows
+#### Agent Docs
 
-Structured approaches for different scenarios:

+- [Agent command patterns](src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/agent-command-patterns.md)
+- [Agent Types](src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/agent-types.md)
+- [Communication Styles](src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/communication-styles.md)
 
-- **Greenfield**: Starting new projects (fullstack/service/UI)
-- **Brownfield**: Enhancing existing projects
-- **Simple**: Quick prototypes and MVPs
-- **Complex**: Enterprise and large-scale projects
+#### Modules
 
-## Project Structure
+Modules are what we used to call Expansion Packs. A new repository to contribute modules is coming very soon with the beta release where you can start contributing modules - we just want to make sure the final format and conventions are stable. A module will generally be made up of agents and workflows. Tasks are still also possible, but generally should be avoided in favor of more flexible workflows. Workflows can have sub-workflows and soon will support a standardized multi-workflow orchestration pattern that the BMad master will be able to guide users through.

-# Architect Solution Validation Checklist
-
-This checklist serves as a comprehensive framework for the Architect to validate the technical design and architecture before development execution. The Architect should systematically work through each item, ensuring the architecture is robust, scalable, secure, and aligned with the product requirements.
-
-[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - REQUIRED ARTIFACTS
-
-Before proceeding with this checklist, ensure you have access to:
-
-1. architecture.md - The primary architecture document (check docs/architecture.md)
-2. prd.md - Product Requirements Document for requirements alignment (check docs/prd.md)
-3. frontend-architecture.md or fe-architecture.md - If this is a UI project (check docs/frontend-architecture.md)
-4. Any system diagrams referenced in the architecture
-5. API documentation if available
-6. Technology stack details and version specifications
-
-IMPORTANT: If any required documents are missing or inaccessible, immediately ask the user for their location or content before proceeding.
-
-PROJECT TYPE DETECTION:
-First, determine the project type by checking:
-
-- Does the architecture include a frontend/UI component?
-- Is there a frontend-architecture.md document?
-- Does the PRD mention user interfaces or frontend requirements?
-
-If this is a backend-only or service-only project:
-
-- Skip sections marked with [[FRONTEND ONLY]]
-- Focus extra attention on API design, service architecture, and integration patterns
-- Note in your final report that frontend sections were skipped due to project type
-
-VALIDATION APPROACH:
-For each section, you must:
-
-1. Deep Analysis - Don't just check boxes, thoroughly analyze each item against the provided documentation
-2. Evidence-Based - Cite specific sections or quotes from the documents when validating
-3. Critical Thinking - Question assumptions and identify gaps, not just confirm what's present
-4. Risk Assessment - Consider what could go wrong with each architectural decision
-
-EXECUTION MODE:
-Ask the user if they want to work through the checklist:
-
-- Section by section (interactive mode) - Review each section, present findings, get confirmation before proceeding
-- All at once (comprehensive mode) - Complete full analysis and present comprehensive report at end]]

-# Change Navigation Checklist
-
-**Purpose:** To systematically guide the selected Agent and user through the analysis and planning required when a significant change (pivot, tech issue, missing requirement, failed story) is identified during the BMAD workflow.
-
-**Instructions:** Review each item with the user. Mark `[x]` for completed/confirmed, `[N/A]` if not applicable, or add notes for discussion points.
-
-[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - CHANGE NAVIGATION
-
-Changes during development are inevitable, but how we handle them determines project success or failure.
-
-Before proceeding, understand:
-
-1. This checklist is for SIGNIFICANT changes that affect the project direction
-2. Minor adjustments within a story don't require this process
-3. The goal is to minimize wasted work while adapting to new realities
-4. User buy-in is critical - they must understand and approve changes
-
-Required context:
-
-- The triggering story or issue
-- Current project state (completed stories, current epic)
-- Access to PRD, architecture, and other key documents
-- Understanding of remaining work planned
-
-APPROACH:
-This is an interactive process with the user. Work through each section together, discussing implications and options. The user makes final decisions, but provide expert guidance on technical feasibility and impact.
-
-REMEMBER: Changes are opportunities to improve, not failures. Handle them professionally and constructively.]]
-
----
-
-## 1. Understand the Trigger & Context
-
-[[LLM: Start by fully understanding what went wrong and why. Don't jump to solutions yet. Ask probing questions:
-
-- What exactly happened that triggered this review?
-- Is this a one-time issue or symptomatic of a larger problem?
-- Could this have been anticipated earlier?
-- What assumptions were incorrect?
-
-Be specific and factual, not blame-oriented.]]
-
-- [ ] **Identify Triggering Story:** Clearly identify the story (or stories) that revealed the issue.
-- [ ] **Define the Issue:** Articulate the core problem precisely.
-  - [ ] Is it a technical limitation/dead-end?
-  - [ ] Is it a newly discovered requirement?
-  - [ ] Is it a fundamental misunderstanding of existing requirements?
-  - [ ] Is it a necessary pivot based on feedback or new information?
-  - [ ] Is it a failed/abandoned story needing a new approach?
-- [ ] **Assess Initial Impact:** Describe the immediate observed consequences (e.g., blocked progress, incorrect functionality, non-viable tech).
-- [ ] **Gather Evidence:** Note any specific logs, error messages, user feedback, or analysis that supports the issue definition.
-
-## 2. Epic Impact Assessment
-
-[[LLM: Changes ripple through the project structure. Systematically evaluate:
-
-1. Can we salvage the current epic with modifications?
-2. Do future epics still make sense given this change?
-3. Are we creating or eliminating dependencies?
-4. Does the epic sequence need reordering?
-
-Think about both immediate and downstream effects.]]
-
-- [ ] **Analyze Current Epic:**
-  - [ ] Can the current epic containing the trigger story still be completed?
-  - [ ] Does the current epic need modification (story changes, additions, removals)?
-  - [ ] Should the current epic be abandoned or fundamentally redefined?
-- [ ] **Analyze Future Epics:**
-  - [ ] Review all remaining planned epics.
-  - [ ] Does the issue require changes to planned stories in future epics?
-  - [ ] Does the issue invalidate any future epics?
-  - [ ] Does the issue necessitate the creation of entirely new epics?
-  - [ ] Should the order/priority of future epics be changed?
-- [ ] **Summarize Epic Impact:** Briefly document the overall effect on the project's epic structure and flow.
-
-## 3. Artifact Conflict & Impact Analysis
-
-[[LLM: Documentation drives development in BMAD. Check each artifact:
-
-1. Does this change invalidate documented decisions?
-2. Are architectural assumptions still valid?
-3. Do user flows need rethinking?
-4. Are technical constraints different than documented?
-
-Be thorough - missed conflicts cause future problems.]]
-
-- [ ] **Review PRD:**
-  - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the core goals or requirements stated in the PRD?
-  - [ ] Does the PRD need clarification or updates based on the new understanding?
-- [ ] **Review Architecture Document:**
-  - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the documented architecture (components, patterns, tech choices)?
-  - [ ] Are specific components/diagrams/sections impacted?
-  - [ ] Does the technology list need updating?
-  - [ ] Do data models or schemas need revision?
-  - [ ] Are external API integrations affected?
-- [ ] **Review Frontend Spec (if applicable):**
-  - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the FE architecture, component library choice, or UI/UX design?
-  - [ ] Are specific FE components or user flows impacted?
-- [ ] **Review Other Artifacts (if applicable):**
-  - [ ] Consider impact on deployment scripts, IaC, monitoring setup, etc.
-- [ ] **Summarize Artifact Impact:** List all artifacts requiring updates and the nature of the changes needed.
-
-## 4. Path Forward Evaluation
-
-[[LLM: Present options clearly with pros/cons. For each path:
-
-1. What's the effort required?
-2. What work gets thrown away?
-3. What risks are we taking?
-4. How does this affect timeline?
-5. Is this sustainable long-term?
-
-Be honest about trade-offs. There's rarely a perfect solution.]]
-
-- [ ] **Option 1: Direct Adjustment / Integration:**
-  - [ ] Can the issue be addressed by modifying/adding future stories within the existing plan?
-  - [ ] Define the scope and nature of these adjustments.
-  - [ ] Assess feasibility, effort, and risks of this path.
-- [ ] **Option 2: Potential Rollback:**
-  - [ ] Would reverting completed stories significantly simplify addressing the issue?
-  - [ ] Identify specific stories/commits to consider for rollback.
-  - [ ] Assess the effort required for rollback.
-  - [ ] Assess the impact of rollback (lost work, data implications).
-  - [ ] Compare the net benefit/cost vs. Direct Adjustment.
-- [ ] **Option 3: PRD MVP Review & Potential Re-scoping:**
-  - [ ] Is the original PRD MVP still achievable given the issue and constraints?
-  - [ ] Does the MVP scope need reduction (removing features/epics)?
-  - [ ] Do the core MVP goals need modification?
-  - [ ] Are alternative approaches needed to meet the original MVP intent?
-  - [ ] **Extreme Case:** Does the issue necessitate a fundamental replan or potentially a new PRD V2 (to be handled by PM)?
-- [ ] **Select Recommended Path:** Based on the evaluation, agree on the most viable path forward.
-
-## 5. Sprint Change Proposal Components
-
-[[LLM: The proposal must be actionable and clear. Ensure:
-
-1. The issue is explained in plain language
-2. Impacts are quantified where possible
-3. The recommended path has clear rationale
-4. Next steps are specific and assigned
-5. Success criteria for the change are defined
-
-This proposal guides all subsequent work.]]
-
-(Ensure all agreed-upon points from previous sections are captured in the proposal)
-
-- [ ] **Identified Issue Summary:** Clear, concise problem statement.
-- [ ] **Epic Impact Summary:** How epics are affected.
-- [ ] **Artifact Adjustment Needs:** List of documents to change.
-- [ ] **Recommended Path Forward:** Chosen solution with rationale.
-- [ ] **PRD MVP Impact:** Changes to scope/goals (if any).
-- [ ] **High-Level Action Plan:** Next steps for stories/updates.
-- [ ] **Agent Handoff Plan:** Identify roles needed (PM, Arch, Design Arch, PO).
-
-## 6. Final Review & Handoff
-
-[[LLM: Changes require coordination. Before concluding:
-
-1. Is the user fully aligned with the plan?
-2. Do all stakeholders understand the impacts?
-3. Are handoffs to other agents clear?
-4. Is there a rollback plan if the change fails?
-5. How will we validate the change worked?
-
-Get explicit approval - implicit agreement causes problems.
-
-FINAL REPORT:
-After completing the checklist, provide a concise summary:
-
-- What changed and why
-- What we're doing about it
-- Who needs to do what
-- When we'll know if it worked
-
-Keep it action-oriented and forward-looking.]]
-
-- [ ] **Review Checklist:** Confirm all relevant items were discussed.
-- [ ] **Review Sprint Change Proposal:** Ensure it accurately reflects the discussion and decisions.
-- [ ] **User Approval:** Obtain explicit user approval for the proposal.
-- [ ] **Confirm Next Steps:** Reiterate the handoff plan and the next actions to be taken by specific agents.

-# Product Owner (PO) Master Validation Checklist
-
-This checklist serves as a comprehensive framework for the Product Owner to validate project plans before development execution. It adapts intelligently based on project type (greenfield vs brownfield) and includes UI/UX considerations when applicable.
-
-[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - PO MASTER CHECKLIST
-
-PROJECT TYPE DETECTION:
-First, determine the project type by checking:
-
-1. Is this a GREENFIELD project (new from scratch)?
-
-   - Look for: New project initialization, no existing codebase references
-   - Check for: prd.md, architecture.md, new project setup stories
-
-2. Is this a BROWNFIELD project (enhancing existing system)?
-
-   - Look for: References to existing codebase, enhancement/modification language
-   - Check for: brownfield-prd.md, brownfield-architecture.md, existing system analysis
-
-3. Does the project include UI/UX components?
-   - Check for: frontend-architecture.md, UI/UX specifications, design files
-   - Look for: Frontend stories, component specifications, user interface mentions
-
-DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS:
-Based on project type, ensure you have access to:
-
-For GREENFIELD projects:
-
-- prd.md - The Product Requirements Document
-- architecture.md - The system architecture
-- frontend-architecture.md - If UI/UX is involved
-- All epic and story definitions
-
-For BROWNFIELD projects:
-
-- brownfield-prd.md - The brownfield enhancement requirements
-- brownfield-architecture.md - The enhancement architecture

-
-SKIP INSTRUCTIONS:
-
-- Skip sections marked [[BROWNFIELD ONLY]] for greenfield projects
-- Skip sections marked [[GREENFIELD ONLY]] for brownfield projects
-- Skip sections marked [[UI/UX ONLY]] for backend-only projects
-- Note all skipped sections in your final report
-
-VALIDATION APPROACH:
-
-1. Deep Analysis - Thoroughly analyze each item against documentation
-2. Evidence-Based - Cite specific sections or code when validating
-3. Critical Thinking - Question assumptions and identify gaps
-4. Risk Assessment - Consider what could go wrong with each decision
-

-# Story Draft Checklist
-
-The Scrum Master should use this checklist to validate that each story contains sufficient context for a developer agent to implement it successfully, while assuming the dev agent has reasonable capabilities to figure things out.
-
-[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - STORY DRAFT VALIDATION
-
-Before proceeding with this checklist, ensure you have access to:
-
-1. The story document being validated (usually in docs/stories/ or provided directly)
-2. The parent epic context
-3. Any referenced architecture or design documents
-4. Previous related stories if this builds on prior work
-
-IMPORTANT: This checklist validates individual stories BEFORE implementation begins.
-
-VALIDATION PRINCIPLES:
-
-1. Clarity - A developer should understand WHAT to build
-2. Context - WHY this is being built and how it fits
-3. Guidance - Key technical decisions and patterns to follow
-4. Testability - How to verify the implementation works
-5. Self-Contained - Most info needed is in the story itself
-
-REMEMBER: We assume competent developer agents who can:
-
-- Research documentation and codebases
-- Make reasonable technical decisions
-- Follow established patterns
-- Ask for clarification when truly stuck
-
-We're checking for SUFFICIENT guidance, not exhaustive detail.]]
-
-## 1. GOAL & CONTEXT CLARITY
-
-[[LLM: Without clear goals, developers build the wrong thing. Verify:
-
-1. The story states WHAT functionality to implement
-2. The business value or user benefit is clear
-3. How this fits into the larger epic/product is explained
-4. Dependencies are explicit ("requires Story X to be complete")
-5. Success looks like something specific, not vague]]
-
-- [ ] Story goal/purpose is clearly stated
-- [ ] Relationship to epic goals is evident
-- [ ] How the story fits into overall system flow is explained
-- [ ] Dependencies on previous stories are identified (if applicable)
-- [ ] Business context and value are clear
-
-## 2. TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE
-
-[[LLM: Developers need enough technical context to start coding. Check:
-
-1. Key files/components to create or modify are mentioned
-2. Technology choices are specified where non-obvious
-3. Integration points with existing code are identified
-4. Data models or API contracts are defined or referenced
-5. Non-standard patterns or exceptions are called out
-
-Note: We don't need every file listed - just the important ones.]]
-
-- [ ] Key files to create/modify are identified (not necessarily exhaustive)
-- [ ] Technologies specifically needed for this story are mentioned
-- [ ] Critical APIs or interfaces are sufficiently described
-- [ ] Necessary data models or structures are referenced
-- [ ] Required environment variables are listed (if applicable)
-- [ ] Any exceptions to standard coding patterns are noted
-
-## 3. REFERENCE EFFECTIVENESS
-
-[[LLM: References should help, not create a treasure hunt. Ensure:
-
-1. References point to specific sections, not whole documents
-2. The relevance of each reference is explained
-3. Critical information is summarized in the story
-4. References are accessible (not broken links)
-5. Previous story context is summarized if needed]]
-
-- [ ] References to external documents point to specific relevant sections
-- [ ] Critical information from previous stories is summarized (not just referenced)
-- [ ] Context is provided for why references are relevant
-- [ ] References use consistent format (e.g., `docs/filename.md#section`)
-
-## 4. SELF-CONTAINMENT ASSESSMENT
-
-[[LLM: Stories should be mostly self-contained to avoid context switching. Verify:
-
-1. Core requirements are in the story, not just in references
-2. Domain terms are explained or obvious from context
-3. Assumptions are stated explicitly
-4. Edge cases are mentioned (even if deferred)
-5. The story could be understood without reading 10 other documents]]
-
-- [ ] Core information needed is included (not overly reliant on external docs)
-- [ ] Implicit assumptions are made explicit
-- [ ] Domain-specific terms or concepts are explained
-- [ ] Edge cases or error scenarios are addressed
-
-## 5. TESTING GUIDANCE
-
-[[LLM: Testing ensures the implementation actually works. Check:
-
-1. Test approach is specified (unit, integration, e2e)
-2. Key test scenarios are listed
-3. Success criteria are measurable
-4. Special test considerations are noted
-5. Acceptance criteria in the story are testable]]
-
-- [ ] Required testing approach is outlined
-- [ ] Key test scenarios are identified
-- [ ] Success criteria are defined
-- [ ] Special testing considerations are noted (if applicable)
-
-## VALIDATION RESULT
-
-[[LLM: FINAL STORY VALIDATION REPORT
-
-Generate a concise validation report:
-
-1. Quick Summary
-
-   - Story readiness: READY / NEEDS REVISION / BLOCKED
-   - Clarity score (1-10)
-   - Major gaps identified
-
-2. Fill in the validation table with:

-# BMAD Knowledge Base
-
-## Overview
-
-BMAD-METHOD (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-driven Development) is a framework that combines AI agents with Agile development methodologies. The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments.
-
-### Key Features
-
-- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role
-- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization
-- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs
-- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists
-- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control
-
-### When to Use BMAD
-
-- **New Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end development
-- **Existing Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions and enhancements
-- **Team Collaboration**: Multiple roles working together
-- **Quality Assurance**: Structured testing and validation
-- **Documentation**: Professional PRDs, architecture docs, user stories
-
-## Getting Started
-
-### Quick Start Options
-
-#### Option 1: Web UI
-**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately
-
-1. Navigate to `dist/teams/`
-2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content
-3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT
-4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
-5. Type `/help` to see available commands
-
-#### Option 2: IDE Integration
-**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, VS Code users
-
-```bash
-# Interactive installation (recommended)
-npx bmad-method install
-```
-
-**Installation Steps**:
-- Choose "Complete installation"
-- Select your IDE (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, or Roo Code)
-
-**Verify Installation**:
-- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents
-- IDE-specific integration files created
-- All agent commands/rules/modes available
-
-### Environment Selection Guide
-
-**Use Web UI for**:
-- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture)
-- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini)
-- Brainstorming and analysis phases
-- Multi-agent consultation and planning
-
-**Use IDE for**:
-- Active development and coding
-- File operations and project integration
-- Document sharding and story management
-- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles)
-
-**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development.
-
-## Core Configuration (core-config.yml)
-
-**New in V4**: The `bmad-core/core-config.yml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility.
-
-### What is core-config.yml?
-
-This configuration file acts as a map for BMAD agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables:
-
-- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures
-- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live
-- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load
-- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting
-
-### Key Configuration Areas
-
-#### PRD Configuration
-- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions
-- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true)
-- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files
-- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`)
-
-#### Architecture Configuration
-- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded)
-- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components
-- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live
-
-#### Developer Files
-- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task
-- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures
-- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations
-
-### Why It Matters
-
-1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure
-2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace
-3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMAD to match your team's process
-4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration
-
-### Common Configurations
-
-**Legacy V3 Project**:
-```yaml
-prdVersion: v3
-prdSharded: false
-architectureVersion: v3
-architectureSharded: false
-```
-
-**V4 Optimized Project**:
-```yaml
-prdVersion: v4
-prdSharded: true
-prdShardedLocation: docs/prd
-architectureVersion: v4
-architectureSharded: true
-architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture
-```
-
-## Core Philosophy
-
-### Vibe CEO'ing
-
-You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to:
-
-- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives
-- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality
-- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents
-
-### Core Principles
-
-1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate.
-2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs.
-3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment.
-4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process.
-5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs.
-6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs.
-7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand.
-8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges.
-
-### Key Workflow Principles
-
-1. **Agent Specialization**: Each agent has specific expertise and responsibilities
-2. **Clean Handoffs**: Always start fresh when switching between agents
-3. **Status Tracking**: Maintain story statuses (Draft → Approved → InProgress → Done)
-4. **Iterative Development**: Complete one story before starting the next
-5. **Documentation First**: Always start with solid PRD and architecture

-## Core Architecture
-
-### System Overview
-
-The BMAD-Method is built around a modular architecture centered on the `bmad-core` directory, which serves as the brain of the entire system. This design enables the framework to operate effectively in both IDE environments (like Cursor, VS Code) and web-based AI interfaces (like ChatGPT, Gemini).
-
-### Key Architectural Components
-
-#### 1. Agents (`bmad-core/agents/`)
-- **Purpose**: Each markdown file defines a specialized AI agent for a specific Agile role (PM, Dev, Architect, etc.)
-- **Structure**: Contains YAML headers specifying the agent's persona, capabilities, and dependencies
-- **Dependencies**: Lists of tasks, templates, checklists, and data files the agent can use
-- **Startup Instructions**: Can load project-specific documentation for immediate context
-
-#### 2. Agent Teams (`bmad-core/agent-teams/`)
-- **Purpose**: Define collections of agents bundled together for specific purposes
-- **Examples**: `team-all.yml` (comprehensive bundle), `team-fullstack.yml` (full-stack development)
-- **Usage**: Creates pre-packaged contexts for web UI environments
-
-#### 3. Workflows (`bmad-core/workflows/`)
-- **Purpose**: YAML files defining prescribed sequences of steps for specific project types
-- **Types**: Greenfield (new projects) and Brownfield (existing projects) for UI, service, and fullstack development
-- **Structure**: Defines agent interactions, artifacts created, and transition conditions
-
-#### 4. Reusable Resources
-- **Templates** (`bmad-core/templates/`): Markdown templates for PRDs, architecture specs, user stories
-- **Tasks** (`bmad-core/tasks/`): Instructions for specific repeatable actions like "shard-doc" or "create-next-story"
-- **Checklists** (`bmad-core/checklists/`): Quality assurance checklists for validation and review
-- **Data** (`bmad-core/data/`): Core knowledge base and technical preferences
-
-### Dual Environment Architecture
-
-#### IDE Environment
-
-- Users interact directly with agent markdown files
-- Agents can access all dependencies dynamically
-- Supports real-time file operations and project integration
-- Optimized for development workflow execution
-
-#### Web UI Environment
-
-- Uses pre-built bundles from `dist/teams` for stand alone 1 upload files for all agents and their assest with an orchestrating agent
-- Single text files containing all agent dependencies are in `dist/agents/` - these are unnecessary unless you want to create a web agent that is only a single agent and not a team
-- Created by the web-builder tool for upload to web interfaces
-- Provides complete context in one package
-
-### Template Processing System
-
-BMAD employs a sophisticated template system with three key components:
-
-1. **Template Format** (`utils/template-format.md`): Defines markup language for variable substitution and AI processing directives
-2. **Document Creation** (`tasks/create-doc.md`): Orchestrates template selection and user interaction
-3. **Advanced Elicitation** (`tasks/advanced-elicitation.md`): Provides interactive refinement through structured brainstorming
-
-**Template Features**:
-
-- **Self-contained**: Templates embed both output structure and processing instructions
-- **Variable Substitution**: `{{placeholders}}` for dynamic content
-- **AI Processing Directives**: `[[LLM: instructions]]` for AI-only processing
-- **Interactive Refinement**: Built-in elicitation processes for quality improvement
-
-### Technical Preferences Integration
-
-The `technical-preferences.md` file serves as a persistent technical profile that:
-- Ensures consistency across all agents and projects
-- Eliminates repetitive technology specification
-- Provides personalized recommendations aligned with user preferences
-- Evolves over time with lessons learned
-
-### Build and Delivery Process
-
-The `web-builder.js` tool creates web-ready bundles by:
-1. Reading agent or team definition files
-2. Recursively resolving all dependencies
-3. Concatenating content into single text files with clear separators
-4. Outputting ready-to-upload bundles for web AI interfaces
-
-This architecture enables seamless operation across environments while maintaining the rich, interconnected agent ecosystem that makes BMAD powerful.
-
-## Complete Development Workflow
-
-### Planning Phase (Web UI Recommended)
-
-**Ideal for cost efficiency, especially with Gemini:**
-
-1. **Optional Analysis**: `/analyst` - Market research, competitive analysis
-2. **Project Brief**: Create foundation document (Analyst or user)
-3. **PRD Creation**: `/pm create-doc prd` - Comprehensive product requirements
-4. **Architecture Design**: `/architect create-doc architecture` - Technical foundation
-5. **Validation & Alignment**: `/po` run master checklist to ensure document consistency
-6. **Document Preparation**: Copy final documents to project as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md`
-
-#### Example Planning Prompts
-
-**For PRD Creation**:
-```text
-"I want to build a [type] application that [core purpose].
-Help me brainstorm features and create a comprehensive PRD."
-```
-
-**For Architecture Design**:
-```text
-"Based on this PRD, design a scalable technical architecture
-that can handle [specific requirements]."
-```
-
-### Critical Transition: Web UI to IDE
-
-**Once planning is complete, you MUST switch to IDE for development:**
-
-- **Why**: Development workflow requires file operations, real-time project integration, and document sharding
-- **Cost Benefit**: Web UI is more cost-effective for large document creation; IDE is optimized for development tasks
-- **Required Files**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` exist in your project
-
-### IDE Development Workflow
-
-**Prerequisites**: Planning documents must exist in `docs/` folder
-
-1. **Document Sharding**: 
-   - `@bmad-master` or `@po` shard `docs/prd.md` to `docs/prd/` folder
-   - If architecture exists, shard to `docs/architecture/` folder
-   - Results in multiple manageable documents and epic files
-
-2. **Verify Sharded Content**:
-   - At least one `epic-n.md` file in `docs/prd/` with stories in development order
-   - Source tree document and coding standards for dev agent reference
-   - Sharded docs for SM agent story creation
-
-**Resulting Folder Structure**:
-- `docs/prd/` - Broken down PRD sections
-- `docs/architecture/` - Broken down architecture sections
-- `docs/stories/` - Generated user stories
-
-3. **Development Cycle** (Sequential, one story at a time):
-
-   **Step 1 - Story Creation**: New chat window → `@sm` → `*create`
-   - SM executes create-next-story task
-   - Review generated story in `docs/stories/`
-   - Update status from "Draft" to "Approved"
-   
-   **Step 2 - Story Implementation**: New chat window → `@dev`
-   - Agent asks which story to implement
-   - Include story file content to save dev agent lookup time
-   - Dev follows tasks/subtasks, marking completion
-   - Dev leaves notes for SM about any deviations
-   - Update status to "Done"
-   
-   **Step 3 - Repeat**: Continue SM → Dev cycle until all epic stories complete
-
-**Important**: Only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially until all epic stories complete.
-
-### Status Tracking Workflow
-
-Stories progress through defined statuses:
-- **Draft** → **Approved** → **InProgress** → **Done**
-
-Each status change requires user verification and approval before proceeding.
-
-### Workflow Types
-
-#### Greenfield Development
-- Business analysis and market research
-- Product requirements and feature definition  
-- System architecture and design
-- Development execution
-- Testing and deployment
-
-#### Brownfield Enhancement
-- Current system analysis
-- Enhancement planning
-- Impact assessment
-- Incremental development
-- Integration testing
-
-## Document Creation Best Practices
-
-### Required File Naming for Framework Integration
-
-- `docs/prd.md` - Product Requirements Document
-- `docs/architecture.md` - System Architecture Document
-
-**Why These Names Matter**:
-- Agents automatically reference these files during development
-- Sharding tasks expect these specific filenames
-- Workflow automation depends on standard naming
-
-### Cost-Effective Document Creation Workflow
-
-**Recommended for Large Documents (PRD, Architecture):**
-
-1. **Use Web UI**: Create documents in web interface for cost efficiency
-2. **Copy Final Output**: Save complete markdown to your project
-3. **Standard Names**: Save as `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md`
-4. **Switch to IDE**: Use IDE agents for development and smaller documents
-
-### Document Sharding
-
-Templates with Level 2 headings (`##`) can be automatically sharded:
-
-**Original PRD**:
-```markdown
-## Goals and Background Context
-## Requirements  
-## User Interface Design Goals
-## Success Metrics
-```
-
-**After Sharding**:
-- `docs/prd/goals-and-background-context.md`
-- `docs/prd/requirements.md`
-- `docs/prd/user-interface-design-goals.md`
-- `docs/prd/success-metrics.md`
-
-Use the `shard-doc` task or `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool for automatic sharding.
-
-## Usage Patterns and Best Practices
-
-### Environment-Specific Usage
-
-**Web UI Best For**:
-- Initial planning and documentation phases
-- Cost-effective large document creation
-- Agent consultation and brainstorming
-- Multi-agent workflows with orchestrator
-
-**IDE Best For**:
-- Active development and implementation
-- File operations and project integration
-- Story management and development cycles
-- Code review and debugging
-
-### Quality Assurance
-
-- Use appropriate agents for specialized tasks
-- Follow Agile ceremonies and review processes
-- Maintain document consistency with PO agent
-- Regular validation with checklists and templates
-
-### Performance Optimization
-
-- Use specific agents vs. `bmad-master` for focused tasks
-- Choose appropriate team size for project needs
-- Leverage technical preferences for consistency
-- Regular context management and cache clearing
-
-## Success Tips
-
-- **Use Gemini for big picture planning** - The team-fullstack bundle provides collaborative expertise
-- **Use bmad-master for document organization** - Sharding creates manageable chunks
-- **Follow the SM → Dev cycle religiously** - This ensures systematic progress
-- **Keep conversations focused** - One agent, one task per conversation
-- **Review everything** - Always review and approve before marking complete
-
-## Getting Help
-
-- **Commands**: Use `/help` in any environment to see available commands
-- **Agent Switching**: Use `/switch agent-name` with orchestrator for role changes
-- **Documentation**: Check `docs/` folder for project-specific context
-- **Community**: Discord and GitHub resources available for support

-# 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.]]

-
-### 2. Core Brainstorming Techniques
-
-#### Creative Expansion Techniques
-
-1. **"What If" Scenarios**
-   [[LLM: Generate provocative what-if questions that challenge assumptions and expand thinking beyond current limitations.]]
-
-   - What if we had unlimited resources?
-   - What if this problem didn't exist?
-   - What if we approached this from a child's perspective?
-   - What if we had to solve this in 24 hours?
-
-2. **Analogical Thinking**
-   [[LLM: Help user draw parallels between their challenge and other domains, industries, or natural systems.]]
-
-   - "How might this work like [X] but for [Y]?"
-   - Nature-inspired solutions (biomimicry)
-   - Cross-industry pattern matching
-   - Historical precedent analysis
-
-3. **Reversal/Inversion**
-   [[LLM: Flip the problem or approach it from the opposite angle to reveal new insights.]]
-
-   - What if we did the exact opposite?
-   - How could we make this problem worse? (then reverse)
-   - Start from the end goal and work backward
-   - Reverse roles or perspectives
-
-4. **First Principles Thinking**
-   [[LLM: Break down to fundamental truths and rebuild from scratch.]]
-   - What are the absolute fundamentals here?
-   - What assumptions can we challenge?
-   - If we started from zero, what would we build?
-   - What laws of physics/economics/human nature apply?
-
-#### Structured Ideation Frameworks
-
-1. **SCAMPER Method**
-   [[LLM: Guide through each SCAMPER prompt systematically.]]
-
-   - **S** = Substitute: What can be substituted?
-   - **C** = Combine: What can be combined or integrated?
-   - **A** = Adapt: What can be adapted from elsewhere?
-   - **M** = Modify/Magnify: What can be emphasized or reduced?
-   - **P** = Put to other uses: What else could this be used for?
-   - **E** = Eliminate: What can be removed or simplified?
-   - **R**= Reverse/Rearrange: What can be reversed or reordered?
-
-2. **Six Thinking Hats**
-   [[LLM: Cycle through different thinking modes, spending focused time in each.]]
-
-   - White Hat: Facts and information
-   - Red Hat: Emotions and intuition
-   - Black Hat: Caution and critical thinking
-   - Yellow Hat: Optimism and benefits
-   - Green Hat: Creativity and alternatives
-   - Blue Hat: Process and control
-
-3. **Mind Mapping**
-   [[LLM: Create text-based mind maps with clear hierarchical structure.]]
-
-   ```plaintext
-   Central Concept
-   ├── Branch 1
-   │   ├── Sub-idea 1.1
-   │   └── Sub-idea 1.2
-   ├── Branch 2
-   │   ├── Sub-idea 2.1
-   │   └── Sub-idea 2.2
-   └── Branch 3
-       └── Sub-idea 3.1
-   ```
-
-#### Collaborative Techniques
-
-1. **"Yes, And..." Building**
-   [[LLM: Accept every idea and build upon it without judgment. Encourage wild ideas and defer criticism.]]
-
-   - Accept the premise of each idea
-   - Add to it with "Yes, and..."
-   - Build chains of connected ideas
-   - Explore tangents freely
-
-2. **Brainwriting/Round Robin**
-   [[LLM: Simulate multiple perspectives by generating ideas from different viewpoints.]]
-
-   - Generate ideas from stakeholder perspectives
-   - Build on previous ideas in rounds
-   - Combine unrelated ideas
-   - Cross-pollinate concepts
-
-3. **Random Stimulation**
-   [[LLM: Use random words, images, or concepts as creative triggers.]]
-   - Random word association
-   - Picture/metaphor inspiration
-   - Forced connections between unrelated items
-   - Constraint-based creativity
-
-#### Deep Exploration Techniques
-
-1. **Five Whys**
-   [[LLM: Dig deeper into root causes and underlying motivations.]]
-
-   - Why does this problem exist? → Answer → Why? (repeat 5 times)
-   - Uncover hidden assumptions
-   - Find root causes, not symptoms
-   - Identify intervention points
-
-2. **Morphological Analysis**
-   [[LLM: Break down into parameters and systematically explore combinations.]]
-
-   - List key parameters/dimensions
-   - Identify possible values for each
-   - Create combination matrix
-   - Explore unusual combinations
-
-3. **Provocation Technique (PO)**
-   [[LLM: Make deliberately provocative statements to jar thinking.]]
-   - PO: Cars have square wheels
-   - PO: Customers pay us to take products
-   - PO: The problem solves itself
-   - Extract useful ideas from provocations

-# Correct Course Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-- Guide a structured response to a change trigger using the `change-checklist`.
-- Analyze the impacts of the change on epics, project artifacts, and the MVP, guided by the checklist's structure.
-- Explore potential solutions (e.g., adjust scope, rollback elements, rescope features) as prompted by the checklist.
-- Draft specific, actionable proposed updates to any affected project artifacts (e.g., epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document sections) based on the analysis.
-- Produce a consolidated "Sprint Change Proposal" document that contains the impact analysis and the clearly drafted proposed edits for user review and approval.
-- Ensure a clear handoff path if the nature of the changes necessitates fundamental replanning by other core agents (like PM or Architect).
-
-## Instructions
-
-### 1. Initial Setup & Mode Selection
-
-- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:**
-  - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated.
-  - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact.
-  - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `change-checklist` (e.g., `change-checklist`).
-- **Establish Interaction Mode:**
-  - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task:
-    - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the `change-checklist` section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement."
-    - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals."
-  - Request the user to select their preferred mode.
-  - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode (e.g., "Okay, we will proceed in Incremental mode."). This chosen mode will govern how subsequent steps in this task are executed.
-- **Explain Process:** Briefly inform the user: "We will now use the `change-checklist` to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode."
-  <rule>When asking multiple questions or presenting multiple points for user input at once, number them clearly (e.g., 1., 2a., 2b.) to make it easier for the user to provide specific responses.</rule>
-
-### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode)
-
-- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the `change-checklist` (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation).
-- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode):
-  - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user.
-  - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact.
-  - Discuss your findings for each item with the user.
-  - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions.
-  - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist.
-
-### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched)
-
-- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect):
-  - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams).
-  - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include:
-    - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority.
-    - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics.
-    - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram).
-    - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents.
-    - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision).
-  - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted.
-  - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step.
-
-### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits
-
-- Synthesize the complete `change-checklist` analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the `change-checklist` (Proposal Components).
-- The proposal must clearly present:
-  - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward.
-  - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]").
-- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user.
-
-### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps
-
-- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it.
-- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user.
-- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:**
-  - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate.
-  - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort.
-
-## Output Deliverables
-
-- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain:
-  - A summary of the `change-checklist` analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path).
-  - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts.
-- **Implicit:** An annotated `change-checklist` (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process.

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

-# Create Next Story Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-To identify the next logical story based on project progress and epic definitions, and then to prepare a comprehensive, self-contained, and actionable story file using the `Story Template`. This task ensures the story is enriched with all necessary technical context, requirements, and acceptance criteria, making it ready for efficient implementation by a Developer Agent with minimal need for additional research.
-
-## Task Execution Instructions
-
-### 0. Load Core Configuration
-
-[[LLM: CRITICAL - This MUST be your first step]]
-
-- Load `.bmad-core/core-config.yml` from the project root
-- If the file does not exist:
-  - HALT and inform the user: "core-config.yml not found. This file is required for story creation. You can:
-    1. Copy it from GITHUB BMAD-METHOD/bmad-core/core-config.yml and configure it for your project
-    2. Run the BMAD installer against your project to upgrade and add the file automatically
-    Please add and configure core-config.yml before proceeding."
-- Extract the following key configurations:
-  - `dev-story-location`: Where to save story files
-  - `prd.prdSharded`: Whether PRD is sharded or monolithic
-  - `prd.prd-file`: Location of monolithic PRD (if not sharded)
-  - `prd.prdShardedLocation`: Location of sharded epic files
-  - `prd.epicFilePattern`: Pattern for epic files (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`)
-  - `architecture.architectureVersion`: Architecture document version
-  - `architecture.architectureSharded`: Whether architecture is sharded
-  - `architecture.architecture-file`: Location of monolithic architecture
-  - `architecture.architectureShardedLocation`: Location of sharded architecture files
-
-### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation
-
-#### 1.1 Locate Epic Files
-
-- Based on `prdSharded` from config:
-  - **If `prdSharded: true`**: Look for epic files in `prdShardedLocation` using `epicFilePattern`
-  - **If `prdSharded: false`**: Load the full PRD from `prd-file` and extract epics from section headings (## Epic N or ### Epic N)
-
-#### 1.2 Review Existing Stories
-
-- Check `dev-story-location` from config (e.g., `docs/stories/`) for existing story files
-- If the directory exists and has at least 1 file, find the highest-numbered story file.
-- **If a highest story file exists (`{lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md`):**
-  - Verify its `Status` is 'Done' (or equivalent).
-  - If not 'Done', present an alert to the user:
-
-    ```plaintext
-    ALERT: Found incomplete story:
-    File: {lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md
-    Status: [current status]
-
-    Would you like to:
-    1. View the incomplete story details (instructs user to do so, agent does not display)
-    2. Cancel new story creation at this time
-    3. Accept risk & Override to create the next story in draft
-
-    Please choose an option (1/2/3):
-    ```
-
-  - Proceed only if user selects option 3 (Override) or if the last story was 'Done'.
-  - If proceeding: Look for the Epic File for `{lastEpicNum}` (e.g., `epic-{lastEpicNum}*.md`) and parse it to find ALL stories in that epic. Select the lowest numbered story that is higher than `{lastStoryNum}` and has prerequisites met. This is the next story.
-  - Else (no remaining stories in current epic or prerequisites not met): The next story is the first story in the next Epic File (e.g., look for `epic-{lastEpicNum + 1}*.md`, then `epic-{lastEpicNum + 2}*.md`, etc.) whose prerequisites are met.
-
-- **If no story files exist in `docs/stories/`:**
-  - The next story is the first story in the first epic file (look for `epic-1-*.md`, then `epic-2-*.md`, etc.) whose prerequisites are met.
-- If no suitable story with met prerequisites is found, report to the user that story creation is blocked, specifying what prerequisites are pending. HALT task.
-- Announce the identified story to the user: "Identified next story for preparation: {epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}".
-
-### 2. Gather Core Story Requirements (from Epic)
-
-- For the identified story, review its parent Epic (e.g., `epic-{epicNum}*.md` from the location identified in step 1.1).
-- Extract: Exact Title, full Goal/User Story statement, initial list of Requirements, all Acceptance Criteria (ACs), and any predefined high-level Tasks.
-- Keep a record of this original epic-defined scope for later deviation analysis.
-
-### 3. Review Previous Story and Extract Dev Notes
-
-[[LLM: This step is CRITICAL for continuity and learning from implementation experience]]
-
-- If this is not the first story (i.e., previous story exists):
-  - Read the previous sequential story from `docs/stories`
-  - Pay special attention to:
-    - Dev Agent Record sections (especially Completion Notes and Debug Log References)
-    - Any deviations from planned implementation
-    - Technical decisions made during implementation
-    - Challenges encountered and solutions applied
-    - Any "lessons learned" or notes for future stories
-  - Extract relevant insights that might inform the current story's preparation
-
-### 4. Gather & Synthesize Architecture Context
-
-[[LLM: CRITICAL - You MUST gather technical details from the architecture documents. NEVER make up technical details not found in these documents.]]
-
-#### 4.1 Determine Architecture Document Strategy
-
-Based on configuration loaded in Step 0:
-
-- **If `architectureVersion: v4` and `architectureSharded: true`**:
-  - Read `{architectureShardedLocation}/index.md` to understand available documentation
-  - Follow the structured reading order in section 4.2 below
-  
-- **If `architectureVersion: v4` and `architectureSharded: false`**:
-  - Load the monolithic architecture from `architecture-file`
-  - Extract relevant sections based on v4 structure (tech stack, project structure, etc.)
-  
-- **If `architectureVersion` is NOT v4**:
-  - Inform user: "Architecture document is not v4 format. Will use best judgment to find relevant information."
-  - If `architectureSharded: true`: Search sharded files by filename relevance
-  - If `architectureSharded: false`: Search within monolithic `architecture-file` for relevant sections
-
-#### 4.2 Recommended Reading Order Based on Story Type (v4 Sharded Only)
-
-[[LLM: Use this structured approach ONLY for v4 sharded architecture. For other versions, use best judgment based on file names and content.]]
-
-**For ALL Stories:**
-
-1. `docs/architecture/tech-stack.md` - Understand technology constraints and versions
-2. `docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md` - Know where code should be placed
-3. `docs/architecture/coding-standards.md` - Ensure dev follows project conventions
-4. `docs/architecture/testing-strategy.md` - Include testing requirements in tasks
-
-**For Backend/API Stories, additionally read:**
-5. `docs/architecture/data-models.md` - Data structures and validation rules
-6. `docs/architecture/database-schema.md` - Database design and relationships
-7. `docs/architecture/backend-architecture.md` - Service patterns and structure
-8. `docs/architecture/rest-api-spec.md` - API endpoint specifications
-9. `docs/architecture/external-apis.md` - Third-party integrations (if relevant)
-
-**For Frontend/UI Stories, additionally read:**
-5. `docs/architecture/frontend-architecture.md` - Component structure and patterns
-6. `docs/architecture/components.md` - Specific component designs
-7. `docs/architecture/core-workflows.md` - User interaction flows
-8. `docs/architecture/data-models.md` - Frontend data handling
-
-**For Full-Stack Stories:**
-
-- Read both Backend and Frontend sections above
-
-#### 4.3 Extract Story-Specific Technical Details
-
-[[LLM: As you read each document, extract ONLY the information directly relevant to implementing the current story. Do NOT include general information unless it directly impacts the story implementation.]]
-
-For each relevant document, extract:
-
-- Specific data models, schemas, or structures the story will use
-- API endpoints the story must implement or consume
-- Component specifications for UI elements in the story
-- File paths and naming conventions for new code
-- Testing requirements specific to the story's features
-- Security or performance considerations affecting the story
-
-#### 4.4 Document Source References
-
-[[LLM: ALWAYS cite the source document and section for each technical detail you include. This helps the dev agent verify information if needed.]]
-
-Format references as: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]`
-
-### 5. Verify Project Structure Alignment
-
-- Cross-reference the story's requirements and anticipated file manipulations with the Project Structure Guide from `docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md`.
-- Ensure any file paths, component locations, or module names implied by the story align with defined structures.
-- Document any structural conflicts, necessary clarifications, or undefined components/paths in a "Project Structure Notes" section within the story draft.
-
-### 6. Populate Story Template with Full Context
-
-- Create a new story file: `{dev-story-location}/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` (using location from config).
-- Use the Story Template to structure the file.
-- Fill in:
-  - Story `{EpicNum}.{StoryNum}: {Short Title Copied from Epic File}`
-  - `Status: Draft`
-  - `Story` (User Story statement from Epic)
-  - `Acceptance Criteria (ACs)` (from Epic, to be refined if needed based on context)
-- **`Dev Technical Guidance` section (CRITICAL):**
-
-  [[LLM: This section MUST contain ONLY information extracted from the architecture shards. NEVER invent or assume technical details.]]
-
-  - Include ALL relevant technical details gathered from Steps 3 and 4, organized by category:
-    - **Previous Story Insights**: Key learnings or considerations from the previous story
-    - **Data Models**: Specific schemas, validation rules, relationships [with source references]
-    - **API Specifications**: Endpoint details, request/response formats, auth requirements [with source references]
-    - **Component Specifications**: UI component details, props, state management [with source references]
-    - **File Locations**: Exact paths where new code should be created based on project structure
-    - **Testing Requirements**: Specific test cases or strategies from testing-strategy.md
-    - **Technical Constraints**: Version requirements, performance considerations, security rules
-  - Every technical detail MUST include its source reference: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]`
-  - If information for a category is not found in the architecture docs, explicitly state: "No specific guidance found in architecture docs"
-
-- **`Tasks / Subtasks` section:**
-  - Generate a detailed, sequential list of technical tasks based ONLY on:
-    - Requirements from the Epic
-    - Technical constraints from architecture shards
-    - Project structure from unified-project-structure.md
-    - Testing requirements from testing-strategy.md
-  - Each task must reference relevant architecture documentation
-  - Include unit testing as explicit subtasks based on testing-strategy.md
-  - Link tasks to ACs where applicable (e.g., `Task 1 (AC: 1, 3)`)
-- Add notes on project structure alignment or discrepancies found in Step 5.
-- Prepare content for the "Deviation Analysis" based on any conflicts between epic requirements and architecture constraints.
-
-### 7. Run Story Draft Checklist
-
-- Execute the Story Draft Checklist against the prepared story
-- Document any issues or gaps identified
-- Make necessary adjustments to meet quality standards
-- Ensure all technical guidance is properly sourced from architecture docs
-
-### 8. Finalize Story File
-
-- Review all sections for completeness and accuracy
-- Verify all source references are included for technical details
-- Ensure tasks align with both epic requirements and architecture constraints
-- Update status to "Draft"
-- Save the story file to `{dev-story-location}/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` (using location from config)
-
-### 9. Report Completion
-
-Provide a summary to the user including:
-
-- Story created: `{epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}`
-- Status: Draft
-- Key technical components included from architecture docs
-- Any deviations or conflicts noted between epic and architecture
-- Recommendations for story review before approval
-- Next steps: Story should be reviewed by PO for approval before dev work begins
-
-[[LLM: Remember - The success of this task depends on extracting real, specific technical details from the architecture shards. The dev agent should have everything they need in the story file without having to search through multiple documents.]]

-# 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

-
-### After (PRD):

-
-## Epic 1
-### User Management System

-## 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

-
-### 3. Document Structure Template
-
-[[LLM: Use this standardized structure for each documentation file, adapting content as needed:
-
-```markdown
-# {{Document Title}}
-

-
-## 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

-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)

-# Checklist Validation Task
-
-This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
-
-## Context
-
-The BMAD Method uses various checklists to ensure quality and completeness of different artifacts. Each checklist contains embedded prompts and instructions to guide the LLM through thorough validation and advanced elicitation. The checklists automatically identify their required artifacts and guide the validation process.
-
-## Available Checklists
-
-If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the bmad-core/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
-
-## Instructions
-
-1. **Initial Assessment**
-
-   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
-     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
-     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
-     - Load the appropriate checklist from bmad-core/checklists/
-   - If no checklist specified:
-     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
-     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
-   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
-     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
-     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
-
-2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
-
-   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
-   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
-
-3. **Checklist Processing**
-
-   If in interactive mode:
-
-   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
-   - For each section:
-     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
-     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
-     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
-     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
-
-   If in YOLO mode:
-
-   - Process all sections at once
-   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
-   - Present the complete analysis to the user
-
-4. **Validation Approach**
-
-   For each checklist item:
-
-   - Read and understand the requirement
-   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
-   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
-   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
-   - Mark items as:
-     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
-     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
-     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
-     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
-
-5. **Section Analysis**
-
-   For each section:
-
-   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
-   - Identify common themes in failed items
-   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
-   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
-   - Document any user decisions or explanations
-
-6. **Final Report**
-
-   Prepare a summary that includes:
-
-   - Overall checklist completion status
-   - Pass rates by section
-   - List of failed items with context
-   - Specific recommendations for improvement
-   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
-
-## Checklist Execution Methodology
-
-Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
-
-1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
-2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
-3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
-4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
-
-The LLM will:
-
-- Execute the complete checklist validation
-- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
-- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

-# 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>

-# Index Documentation Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-This task maintains the integrity and completeness of the `docs/index.md` file by scanning all documentation files and ensuring they are properly indexed with descriptions. It handles both root-level documents and documents within subfolders, organizing them hierarchically.
-
-## Task Instructions
-
-You are now operating as a Documentation Indexer. Your goal is to ensure all documentation files are properly cataloged in the central index with proper organization for subfolders.
-
-### Required Steps
-
-1. First, locate and scan:
-
-   - The `docs/` directory and all subdirectories
-   - The existing `docs/index.md` file (create if absent)
-   - All markdown (`.md`) and text (`.txt`) files in the documentation structure
-   - Note the folder structure for hierarchical organization
-
-2. For the existing `docs/index.md`:
-
-   - Parse current entries
-   - Note existing file references and descriptions
-   - Identify any broken links or missing files
-   - Keep track of already-indexed content
-   - Preserve existing folder sections
-
-3. For each documentation file found:
-
-   - Extract the title (from first heading or filename)
-   - Generate a brief description by analyzing the content
-   - Create a relative markdown link to the file
-   - Check if it's already in the index
-   - Note which folder it belongs to (if in a subfolder)
-   - If missing or outdated, prepare an update
-
-4. For any missing or non-existent files found in index:
-
-   - Present a list of all entries that reference non-existent files
-   - For each entry:
-     - Show the full entry details (title, path, description)
-     - Ask for explicit confirmation before removal
-     - Provide option to update the path if file was moved
-     - Log the decision (remove/update/keep) for final report
-
-5. Update `docs/index.md`:
-   - Maintain existing structure and organization
-   - Create level 2 sections (`##`) for each subfolder
-   - List root-level documents first
-   - Add missing entries with descriptions
-   - Update outdated entries
-   - Remove only entries that were confirmed for removal
-   - Ensure consistent formatting throughout
-
-### Index Structure Format
-
-The index should be organized as follows:
-
-```markdown
-# Documentation Index
-
-## Root Documents
-
-### [Document Title](./document.md)
-
-Brief description of the document's purpose and contents.
-
-### [Another Document](./another.md)
-
-Description here.
-
-## Folder Name
-
-Documents within the `folder-name/` directory:
-
-### [Document in Folder](./folder-name/document.md)
-
-Description of this document.
-
-### [Another in Folder](./folder-name/another.md)
-
-Description here.
-
-## Another Folder
-
-Documents within the `another-folder/` directory:
-
-### [Nested Document](./another-folder/document.md)
-
-Description of nested document.
-
-```
-
-### Index Entry Format
-
-Each entry should follow this format:
-
-```markdown
-### [Document Title](relative/path/to/file.md)
-
-Brief description of the document's purpose and contents.
-```
-
-### Rules of Operation
-
-1. NEVER modify the content of indexed files
-2. Preserve existing descriptions in index.md when they are adequate
-3. Maintain any existing categorization or grouping in the index
-4. Use relative paths for all links (starting with `./`)
-5. Ensure descriptions are concise but informative
-6. NEVER remove entries without explicit confirmation
-7. Report any broken links or inconsistencies found
-8. Allow path updates for moved files before considering removal
-9. Create folder sections using level 2 headings (`##`)
-10. Sort folders alphabetically, with root documents listed first
-11. Within each section, sort documents alphabetically by title
-
-### Process Output
-
-The task will provide:
-
-1. A summary of changes made to index.md
-2. List of newly indexed files (organized by folder)
-3. List of updated entries
-4. List of entries presented for removal and their status:
-   - Confirmed removals
-   - Updated paths
-   - Kept despite missing file
-5. Any new folders discovered
-6. Any other issues or inconsistencies found
-
-### Handling Missing Files
-
-For each file referenced in the index but not found in the filesystem:
-
-1. Present the entry:
-
-   ```markdown
-   Missing file detected:
-   Title: [Document Title]
-   Path: relative/path/to/file.md
-   Description: Existing description
-   Section: [Root Documents | Folder Name]
-
-   Options:
-
-   1. Remove this entry
-   2. Update the file path
-   3. Keep entry (mark as temporarily unavailable)
-
-   Please choose an option (1/2/3):
-   ```
-
-2. Wait for user confirmation before taking any action
-3. Log the decision for the final report
-
-### Special Cases
-
-1. **Sharded Documents**: If a folder contains an `index.md` file, treat it as a sharded document:
-
-   - Use the folder's `index.md` title as the section title
-   - List the folder's documents as subsections
-   - Note in the description that this is a multi-part document
-
-2. **README files**: Convert `README.md` to more descriptive titles based on content
-
-3. **Nested Subfolders**: For deeply nested folders, maintain the hierarchy but limit to 2 levels in the main index. Deeper structures should have their own index files.
-
-## Required Input
-
-Please provide:
-
-1. Location of the `docs/` directory (default: `./docs`)
-2. Confirmation of write access to `docs/index.md`
-3. Any specific categorization preferences
-4. Any files or directories to exclude from indexing (e.g., `.git`, `node_modules`)
-5. Whether to include hidden files/folders (starting with `.`)
-
-Would you like to proceed with documentation indexing? Please provide the required input above.

-# Document Sharding Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-- Split a large document into multiple smaller documents based on level 2 sections
-- Create a folder structure to organize the sharded documents
-- Maintain all content integrity including code blocks, diagrams, and markdown formatting
-
-## Recommended Method: @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser
-
-[[LLM: First, suggest the user install and use the @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser tool if the md-tree command is unavailable so we can have the best performance and reliable document sharding. Let the user know this will save cost of having the LLM to the expensive sharding operation. Give instructions for MPV NPX and PNPM global installs.]]
-
-### Installation and Usage
-
-1. **Install globally**:
-
-   ```bash
-   npm install -g @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser
-   ```
-
-2. **Use the explode command**:
-
-   ```bash
-   # For PRD
-   md-tree explode docs/prd.md docs/prd
-
-   # For Architecture
-   md-tree explode docs/architecture.md docs/architecture
-
-   # For any document
-   md-tree explode [source-document] [destination-folder]
-   ```
-
-3. **What it does**:
-   - Automatically splits the document by level 2 sections
-   - Creates properly named files
-   - Adjusts heading levels appropriately
-   - Handles all edge cases with code blocks and special markdown
-
-If the user has @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser installed, use it and skip the manual process below.
-
----
-
-## Manual Method (if @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser is not available)
-
-[[LLM: Only proceed with the manual instructions below if the user cannot or does not want to use @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser.]]
-
-### Task Instructions
-
-### 1. Identify Document and Target Location
-
-- Determine which document to shard (user-provided path)
-- Create a new folder under `docs/` with the same name as the document (without extension)
-- Example: `docs/prd.md` → create folder `docs/prd/`
-
-### 2. Parse and Extract Sections
-
-[[LLM: When sharding the document:
-
-1. Read the entire document content
-2. Identify all level 2 sections (## headings)
-3. For each level 2 section:
-   - Extract the section heading and ALL content until the next level 2 section
-   - Include all subsections, code blocks, diagrams, lists, tables, etc.
-   - Be extremely careful with:
-     - Fenced code blocks (```) - ensure you capture the full block including closing backticks
-     - Mermaid diagrams - preserve the complete diagram syntax
-     - Nested markdown elements
-     - Multi-line content that might contain ## inside code blocks
-
-CRITICAL: Use proper parsing that understands markdown context. A ## inside a code block is NOT a section header.]]
-
-### 3. Create Individual Files
-
-For each extracted section:
-
-1. **Generate filename**: Convert the section heading to lowercase-dash-case
-
-   - Remove special characters
-   - Replace spaces with dashes
-   - Example: "## Tech Stack" → `tech-stack.md`
-
-2. **Adjust heading levels**:
-
-   - The level 2 heading becomes level 1 (# instead of ##)
-   - All subsection levels decrease by 1:
-
-   ```txt
-     - ### → ##
-     - #### → ###
-     - ##### → ####
-     - etc.
-   ```
-
-3. **Write content**: Save the adjusted content to the new file
-
-### 4. Create Index File
-
-Create an `index.md` file in the sharded folder that:
-
-1. Contains the original level 1 heading and any content before the first level 2 section
-2. Lists all the sharded files with links:
-
-```markdown
-# Original Document Title
-
-[Original introduction content if any]
-
-## Sections
-
-- [Section Name 1](./section-name-1.md)
-- [Section Name 2](./section-name-2.md)
-- [Section Name 3](./section-name-3.md)
-  ...
-```
-
-### 5. Preserve Special Content
-
-[[LLM: Pay special attention to preserving:
-
-1. **Code blocks**: Must capture complete blocks including:
-
-   ```language
-   content
-   ```
-
-2. **Mermaid diagrams**: Preserve complete syntax:
-
-   ```mermaid
-   graph TD
-   ...
-   ```
-
-3. **Tables**: Maintain proper markdown table formatting
-
-4. **Lists**: Preserve indentation and nesting
-
-5. **Inline code**: Preserve backticks
-
-6. **Links and references**: Keep all markdown links intact
-
-7. **Template markup**: If documents contain {{placeholders}} or [[LLM instructions]], preserve exactly]]
-
-### 6. Validation
-
-After sharding:
-
-1. Verify all sections were extracted
-2. Check that no content was lost
-3. Ensure heading levels were properly adjusted
-4. Confirm all files were created successfully
-
-### 7. Report Results
-
-Provide a summary:
-
-```text
-Document sharded successfully:
-- Source: [original document path]
-- Destination: docs/[folder-name]/
-- Files created: [count]
-- Sections:
-  - section-name-1.md: "Section Title 1"
-  - section-name-2.md: "Section Title 2"
-  ...
-```
-
-## Important Notes
-
-- Never modify the actual content, only adjust heading levels
-- Preserve ALL formatting, including whitespace where significant
-- Handle edge cases like sections with code blocks containing ## symbols
-- Ensure the sharding is reversible (could reconstruct the original from shards)

Its primary goal is to serve as the guiding architectural blueprint for AI-driven development, ensuring consistency and adherence to chosen patterns and technologies.
-
-**Relationship to Frontend Architecture:**
-If the project includes a significant user interface, a separate Frontend Architecture Document will detail the frontend-specific design and MUST be used in conjunction with this document. Core technology stack choices documented herein (see "Tech Stack") are definitive for the entire project, including any frontend components.
-
-### Starter Template or Existing Project
-
-[[LLM: Before proceeding further with architecture design, check if the project is based on a starter template or existing codebase:
-
-1. Review the PRD and brainstorming brief for any mentions of:
-
-- Starter templates (e.g., Create React App, Next.js, Vue CLI, Angular CLI, etc.)
-- Existing projects or codebases being used as a foundation
-- Boilerplate projects or scaffolding tools
-- Previous projects to be cloned or adapted
-
-2. If a starter template or existing project is mentioned:
-
-- Ask the user to provide access via one of these methods:
-  - Link to the starter template documentation
-  - Upload/attach the project files (for small projects)
-  - Share a link to the project repository (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)
-- Analyze the starter/existing project to understand:
-  - Pre-configured technology stack and versions
-  - Project structure and organization patterns
-  - Built-in scripts and tooling
-  - Existing architectural patterns and conventions
-  - Any limitations or constraints imposed by the starter
-- Use this analysis to inform and align your architecture decisions
-
-3. If no starter template is mentioned but this is a greenfield project:
-
-- Suggest appropriate starter templates based on the tech stack preferences
-- Explain the benefits (faster setup, best practices, community support)
-- Let the user decide whether to use one
-
-4. If the user confirms no starter template will be used:
-
-- Proceed with architecture design from scratch
-- Note that manual setup will be required for all tooling and configuration
-
-Document the decision here before proceeding with the architecture design. In none, just say N/A
-
-After presenting this starter template section, apply `tasks#advanced-elicitation` protocol]]

-### High Level Project Diagram
-
-[[LLM: Create a Mermaid diagram that visualizes the high-level architecture. Consider:
-
-- System boundaries
-- Major components/services
-- Data flow directions
-- External integrations
-- User entry points
-
-Use appropriate Mermaid diagram type (graph TD, C4, sequence) based on what best represents the architecture
-
-After presenting the diagram, apply `tasks#advanced-elicitation` protocol]]
-
-### Architectural and Design Patterns
-
-[[LLM: List the key high-level patterns that will guide the architecture. For each pattern:
-
-1. Present 2-3 viable options if multiple exist
-2. Provide your recommendation with clear rationale
-3. Get user confirmation before finalizing
-4. These patterns should align with the PRD's technical assumptions and project goals
-
-Common patterns to consider:
-
-- Architectural style patterns (Serverless, Event-Driven, Microservices, CQRS, Hexagonal)
-- Code organization patterns (Dependency Injection, Repository, Module, Factory)
-- Data patterns (Event Sourcing, Saga, Database per Service)
-- Communication patterns (REST, GraphQL, Message Queue, Pub/Sub)]]
-
-<<REPEAT: pattern>>
-
-- **{{pattern_name}}:** {{pattern_description}} - _Rationale:_ {{rationale}}
-
-<</REPEAT>>
-
-@{example: patterns}
-
-- **Serverless Architecture:** Using AWS Lambda for compute - _Rationale:_ Aligns with PRD requirement for cost optimization and automatic scaling
-- **Repository Pattern:** Abstract data access logic - _Rationale:_ Enables testing and future database migration flexibility
-- **Event-Driven Communication:** Using SNS/SQS for service decoupling - _Rationale:_ Supports async processing and system resilience

-## Tech Stack
-
-[[LLM: This is the DEFINITIVE technology selection section. Work with the user to make specific choices:
-
-1. Review PRD technical assumptions and any preferences from `data#technical-preferences` or an attached `technical-preferences`
-2. For each category, present 2-3 viable options with pros/cons
-3. Make a clear recommendation based on project needs
-4. Get explicit user approval for each selection
-5. Document exact versions (avoid "latest" - pin specific versions)
-6. This table is the single source of truth - all other docs must reference these choices
-
-Key decisions to finalize - before displaying the table, ensure you are aware of or ask the user about - let the user know if they are not sure on any that you can also provide suggestions with rationale:
-
-- Starter templates (if any)
-- Languages and runtimes with exact versions
-- Frameworks and libraries / packages
-- Cloud provider and key services choices
-- Database and storage solutions - if unclear suggest sql or nosql or other types depending on the project and depending on cloud provider offer a suggestion
-- Development tools
-
-Upon render of the table, ensure the user is aware of the importance of this sections choices, should also look for gaps or disagreements with anything, ask for any clarifications if something is unclear why its in the list, and also right away apply `tasks#advanced-elicitation` display - this statement and the options should be rendered and then prompt right all before allowing user input.]]

-# {{Project Name}} Brownfield Enhancement PRD
-
-[[LLM: The default path and filename unless specified is docs/prd.md]]
-
-[[LLM: IMPORTANT - SCOPE ASSESSMENT REQUIRED:
-
-This PRD is for SIGNIFICANT enhancements to existing projects that require comprehensive planning and multiple stories. Before proceeding:
-
-1. **Assess Enhancement Complexity**: If this is a simple feature addition or bug fix that could be completed in 1-2 focused development sessions, STOP and recommend: "For simpler changes, consider using the brownfield-create-epic or brownfield-create-story task with the Product Owner instead. This full PRD process is designed for substantial enhancements that require architectural planning and multiple coordinated stories."
-
-2. **Project Context**: Determine if we're working in an IDE with the project already loaded or if the user needs to provide project information. If project files are available, analyze existing documentation in the docs folder. If insufficient documentation exists, recommend running the document-project task first.
-
-3. **Deep Assessment Requirement**: You MUST thoroughly analyze the existing project structure, patterns, and constraints before making ANY suggestions. Every recommendation must be grounded in actual project analysis, not assumptions.]]
-
-## Intro Project Analysis and Context
-
-[[LLM: Gather comprehensive information about the existing project. This section must be completed before proceeding with requirements.

-# {{Project Name}} Frontend Architecture Document
-
-[[LLM: The default path and filename unless specified is docs/ui-architecture.md]]
-
-[[LLM: Review provided documents including PRD, UX-UI Specification, and main Architecture Document. Focus on extracting technical implementation details needed for AI frontend tools and developer agents. Ask the user for any of these documents if you are unable to locate and were not provided.]]
-
-## Template and Framework Selection
-
-[[LLM: Before proceeding with frontend architecture design, check if the project is using a frontend starter template or existing codebase:
-
-1. Review the PRD, main architecture document, and brainstorming brief for mentions of:
-
-   - Frontend starter templates (e.g., Create React App, Next.js, Vite, Vue CLI, Angular CLI, etc.)
-   - UI kit or component library starters
-   - Existing frontend projects being used as a foundation
-   - Admin dashboard templates or other specialized starters
-   - Design system implementations
-
-2. If a frontend starter template or existing project is mentioned:
-
-   - Ask the user to provide access via one of these methods:
-     - Link to the starter template documentation
-     - Upload/attach the project files (for small projects)
-     - Share a link to the project repository
-   - Analyze the starter/existing project to understand:
-     - Pre-installed dependencies and versions
-     - Folder structure and file organization
-     - Built-in components and utilities
-     - Styling approach (CSS modules, styled-components, Tailwind, etc.)
-     - State management setup (if any)
-     - Routing configuration
-     - Testing setup and patterns
-     - Build and development scripts
-
-- Use this analysis to ensure your frontend architecture aligns with the starter's patterns
-
-3. If no frontend starter is mentioned but this is a new UI, ensure we know what the ui language and framework is:
-
-   - Based on the framework choice, suggest appropriate starters:
-     - React: Create React App, Next.js, Vite + React
-     - Vue: Vue CLI, Nuxt.js, Vite + Vue
-     - Angular: Angular CLI
-     - Or suggest popular UI templates if applicable
-   - Explain benefits specific to frontend development
-
-4. If the user confirms no starter template will be used:
-   - Note that all tooling, bundling, and configuration will need manual setup
-   - Proceed with frontend architecture from scratch
-
-Document the starter template decision and any constraints it imposes before proceeding.]]

-
-### Core Screens and Views
-
-[[LLM: From a product perspective, what are the most critical screens or views necessary to deliver the the PRD values and goals? This is meant to be Conceptual High Level to Drive Rough Epic or User Stories]]
-
-@{example}
-
-- Login Screen
-- Main Dashboard

-- Settings Page
-  @{/example}
-
-### Accessibility: { None, WCAG, etc }
-
-### Branding
-
-[[LLM: Any known branding elements or style guides that must be incorporated?]]

-
-### Target Device and Platforms
-
-@{example}
-"Web Responsive, and all mobile platforms", "IPhone Only", "ASCII Windows Desktop"
-@{/example}
-
-^^/CONDITION: has_ui^^
-
-## Technical Assumptions
-
-[[LLM: Gather technical decisions that will guide the Architect. Steps:
-
-1. Check if `data#technical-preferences` or an attached `technical-preferences` file exists - use it to pre-populate choices
-2. Ask user about: languages, frameworks, starter templates, libraries, APIs, deployment targets
-3. For unknowns, offer guidance based on project goals and MVP scope
-4. Document ALL technical choices with rationale (why this choice fits the project)
-5. These become constraints for the Architect - be specific and complete
-6. After section completion, apply `tasks#advanced-elicitation` protocol.]]
-
-### Repository Structure: { Monorepo, Polyrepo, etc...}
-
-### Service Architecture
-
-[[LLM: CRITICAL DECISION - Document the high-level service architecture (e.g., Monolith, Microservices, Serverless functions within a Monorepo).]]
-
-### Testing requirements
-
-[[LLM: CRITICAL DECISION - Document the testing requirements, unit only, integration, e2e, manual, need for manual testing convenience methods).]]
-
-### Additional Technical Assumptions and Requests
-
-[[LLM: Throughout the entire process of drafting this document, if any other technical assumptions are raised or discovered appropriate for the architect, add them here as additional bulleted items]]
-
-## 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 - remember this when we produce the stories for the first epic!
-- 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.]]
-
-<<REPEAT: epic_list>>
-
-- Epic{{epic_number}} {{epic_title}}: {{short_goal}}
-
-<</REPEAT>>
-
-@{example: epic_list}
-
-1. Foundation & Core Infrastructure: Establish project setup, authentication, and basic user management
-2. Core Business Entities: Create and manage primary domain objects with CRUD operations
-3. User Workflows & Interactions: Enable key user journeys and business processes
-4. Reporting & Analytics: Provide insights and data visualization for users
-
-@{/example}
-
-[[LLM: After the epic list is approved, present each `epic_details` with all its stories and acceptance criteria as a complete review unit and immediately execute tasks#advanced-elicitation display, before moving on to the next epic.]]
-
-<<REPEAT: epic_details>>
-
-## Epic {{epic_number}} {{epic_title}}
-
-{{epic_goal}} [[LLM: Expanded goal - 2-3 sentences describing the objective and value all the stories will achieve]]
-
-[[LLM: CRITICAL STORY SEQUENCING REQUIREMENTS:
-
-- Stories within each epic MUST be logically sequential
-- Each story should be a "vertical slice" delivering complete functionality aside from early enabler stories for project foundation
-- 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

-# 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

-# 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.

-# 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
-- **brownfield-ui**: Enhance an existing frontend/UI application
-
-## Workflow Commands
-
-### /workflows
-
-Lists all available workflows for the current team. The available workflows are determined by the team configuration and may include workflows such as:
-
-- greenfield-fullstack
-- brownfield-fullstack
-- greenfield-service
-- brownfield-service
-- greenfield-ui
-- brownfield-ui
-
-The actual list depends on which team bundle is loaded. When responding to this command, display the workflows that are configured in the current team's `workflows` field.
-
-Example response format:
-
-```text
-Available workflows for [Team Name]:
-1. [workflow-id] - [Brief description based on workflow type]
-2. [workflow-id] - [Brief description based on workflow type]
-[... etc. ...]
-
-Use /workflow-start {number or id} to begin a workflow.
-```
-
-### /workflow-start {workflow-id}
-
-Starts a specific workflow and transitions to the first agent.
-
-Example: `/workflow-start greenfield-fullstack`
-
-### /workflow-status
-
-Shows current workflow progress, completed artifacts, and next steps.
-
-Example response:
-
-```text
-Current Workflow: Greenfield Full-Stack Development
-Stage: Product Planning (2 of 6)
-Completed:
-  ✓ Discovery & Requirements
-    - project-brief (completed by Mary)
-
-In Progress:
-  ⚡ Product Planning
-    - Create PRD (John) - awaiting input
-
-Next: Technical Architecture
-```
-
-### /workflow-resume
-
-Resumes a workflow from where it left off, useful when starting a new chat.
-
-User can provide completed artifacts:
-
-```text
-User: /workflow-resume greenfield-fullstack
-      I have completed: project-brief, PRD
-BMad: I see you've completed Discovery and part of Product Planning.
-      Based on the greenfield-fullstack workflow, the next step is:
-      - UX Strategy with Sally (ux-expert)
-
-      Would you like me to load Sally to continue?
-```
-
-### /workflow-next
-
-Shows the next recommended agent and action in the current workflow.
-
-## Workflow Execution Flow
-
-### 1. Starting a Workflow
-
-When a workflow is started:
-
-1. Load the workflow definition
-2. Identify the first stage and step
-3. Transition to the required agent
-4. Provide context about expected inputs/outputs
-5. Guide artifact creation
-
-### 2. Stage Transitions
-
-After each artifact is completed:
-
-1. Mark the step as complete
-2. Check transition conditions
-3. If stage is complete, move to next stage
-4. Load the appropriate agent
-5. Pass relevant artifacts as context
-
-### 3. Artifact Tracking
-
-Track all created artifacts:
-
-```yaml
-workflow_state:
-  current_workflow: greenfield-fullstack
-  current_stage: planning
-  current_step: 2
-  artifacts:
-    project-brief:
-      status: completed
-      created_by: analyst
-      timestamp: 2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z
-    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?
-```
-
-## Workflow Context Passing
-
-When transitioning between agents, pass:
-
-1. Previous artifacts created
-2. Current workflow stage
-3. Expected outputs
-4. Any decisions or constraints identified
-
-Example transition:
-
-```text
-BMad: Great! John has completed the PRD. According to the greenfield-fullstack workflow,
-      the next step is UX Strategy with Sally.
-
-      /ux-expert
-
-Sally: I see we're in the Product Planning stage of the greenfield-fullstack workflow.
-       I have access to:
-       - Project Brief from Mary
-       - PRD from John
-
-       Let's create the UX strategy and UI specifications. First, let me review
-       the PRD to understand the features we're designing for...
-```
-
-## Multi-Path Workflows
-
-Some workflows may have multiple paths:
-
-```yaml
-conditional_paths:
-  - condition: project_type == 'mobile'
-    next_stage: mobile-specific-design
-  - condition: project_type == 'web'
-    next_stage: web-architecture
-  - default: fullstack-architecture
-```
-
-Handle these by asking clarifying questions when needed.
-
-## Workflow Best Practices
-
-1. **Always show progress** - Users should know where they are
-2. **Explain transitions** - Why moving to next agent
-3. **Preserve context** - Pass relevant information forward
-4. **Allow flexibility** - Users can skip or modify steps
-5. **Track everything** - Maintain complete workflow state
-
-## Integration with Agents
-
-Each agent should be workflow-aware:
-
-- Know which workflow is active
-- Understand their role in the workflow
-- Access previous artifacts
-- Know expected outputs
-- Guide toward workflow goals
-
-This creates a seamless experience where the entire team works together toward the workflow's objectives.

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

-  - Strive for Sequential Task Execution - Complete tasks 1-by-1 and mark [x] as completed
-  - Test-Driven Quality - Write tests alongside code. Task incomplete without passing tests
-  - Debug Log Discipline - Log temp changes to md table in devDebugLog. Revert after fix.
-  - Block Only When Critical - HALT for: missing approval/ambiguous reqs/3 failures/missing config
-  - Code Excellence - Clean, secure, maintainable code per loaded standards
-  - Numbered Options - Always use numbered lists when presenting choices
-commands:
-  - help: Show numbered list of the following commands to allow selection
-  - run-tests: Execute linting and tests
-  - debug-log: Show debug entries
-  - complete-story: Finalize to "Review"

-    - 'Change Log: Requirement changes only'
-  blocking: Unapproved deps | Ambiguous after story check | 3 failures | Missing config

-==================== END: agents#dev ====================
-
-==================== START: tasks#execute-checklist ====================
-# Checklist Validation Task
-
-This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
-
-## Context
-
-The BMAD Method uses various checklists to ensure quality and completeness of different artifacts. Each checklist contains embedded prompts and instructions to guide the LLM through thorough validation and advanced elicitation. The checklists automatically identify their required artifacts and guide the validation process.
-
-## Available Checklists
-
-If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the bmad-core/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
-
-## Instructions
-
-1. **Initial Assessment**
-
-   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
-     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
-     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
-     - Load the appropriate checklist from bmad-core/checklists/
-   - If no checklist specified:
-     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
-     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
-   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
-     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
-     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
-
-2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
-
-   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
-   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
-
-3. **Checklist Processing**
-
-   If in interactive mode:
-
-   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
-   - For each section:
-     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
-     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
-     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
-     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
-
-   If in YOLO mode:
-
-   - Process all sections at once
-   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
-   - Present the complete analysis to the user
-
-4. **Validation Approach**
-
-   For each checklist item:
-
-   - Read and understand the requirement
-   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
-   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
-   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
-   - Mark items as:
-     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
-     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
-     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
-     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
-
-5. **Section Analysis**
-
-   For each section:
-
-   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
-   - Identify common themes in failed items
-   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
-   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
-   - Document any user decisions or explanations
-
-6. **Final Report**
-
-   Prepare a summary that includes:
-
-   - Overall checklist completion status
-   - Pass rates by section
-   - List of failed items with context
-   - Specific recommendations for improvement
-   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
-
-## Checklist Execution Methodology
-
-Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
-
-1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
-2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
-3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
-4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
-
-The LLM will:
-
-- Execute the complete checklist validation
-- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
-- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures
-==================== END: tasks#execute-checklist ====================
-
-==================== START: checklists#story-dod-checklist ====================
-# Story Definition of Done (DoD) Checklist
-
-## Instructions for Developer Agent
-
-Before marking a story as 'Review', please go through each item in this checklist. Report the status of each item (e.g., [x] Done, [ ] Not Done, [N/A] Not Applicable) and provide brief comments if necessary.
-
-[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - STORY DOD VALIDATION
-
-This checklist is for DEVELOPER AGENTS to self-validate their work before marking a story complete.
-
-IMPORTANT: This is a self-assessment. Be honest about what's actually done vs what should be done. It's better to identify issues now than have them found in review.
-
-EXECUTION APPROACH:
-
-1. Go through each section systematically
-2. Mark items as [x] Done, [ ] Not Done, or [N/A] Not Applicable
-3. Add brief comments explaining any [ ] or [N/A] items
-4. Be specific about what was actually implemented
-5. Flag any concerns or technical debt created
-
-The goal is quality delivery, not just checking boxes.]]
-
-## Checklist Items
-
-1. **Requirements Met:**
-
-   [[LLM: Be specific - list each requirement and whether it's complete]]
-
-   - [ ] All functional requirements specified in the story are implemented.
-   - [ ] All acceptance criteria defined in the story are met.
-
-2. **Coding Standards & Project Structure:**
-
-   [[LLM: Code quality matters for maintainability. Check each item carefully]]
-
-   - [ ] All new/modified code strictly adheres to `Operational Guidelines`.
-   - [ ] All new/modified code aligns with `Project Structure` (file locations, naming, etc.).
-   - [ ] Adherence to `Tech Stack` for technologies/versions used (if story introduces or modifies tech usage).
-   - [ ] Adherence to `Api Reference` and `Data Models` (if story involves API or data model changes).

-# 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

-# Create Next Story Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-To identify the next logical story based on project progress and epic definitions, and then to prepare a comprehensive, self-contained, and actionable story file using the `Story Template`. This task ensures the story is enriched with all necessary technical context, requirements, and acceptance criteria, making it ready for efficient implementation by a Developer Agent with minimal need for additional research.
-
-## Task Execution Instructions
-
-### 0. Load Core Configuration
-
-[[LLM: CRITICAL - This MUST be your first step]]
-
-- Load `.bmad-core/core-config.yml` from the project root
-- If the file does not exist:
-  - HALT and inform the user: "core-config.yml not found. This file is required for story creation. You can:
-    1. Copy it from GITHUB BMAD-METHOD/bmad-core/core-config.yml and configure it for your project
-    2. Run the BMAD installer against your project to upgrade and add the file automatically
-    Please add and configure core-config.yml before proceeding."
-- Extract the following key configurations:
-  - `dev-story-location`: Where to save story files
-  - `prd.prdSharded`: Whether PRD is sharded or monolithic
-  - `prd.prd-file`: Location of monolithic PRD (if not sharded)
-  - `prd.prdShardedLocation`: Location of sharded epic files
-  - `prd.epicFilePattern`: Pattern for epic files (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`)
-  - `architecture.architectureVersion`: Architecture document version
-  - `architecture.architectureSharded`: Whether architecture is sharded
-  - `architecture.architecture-file`: Location of monolithic architecture
-  - `architecture.architectureShardedLocation`: Location of sharded architecture files
-
-### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation
-
-#### 1.1 Locate Epic Files
-
-- Based on `prdSharded` from config:
-  - **If `prdSharded: true`**: Look for epic files in `prdShardedLocation` using `epicFilePattern`
-  - **If `prdSharded: false`**: Load the full PRD from `prd-file` and extract epics from section headings (## Epic N or ### Epic N)
-
-#### 1.2 Review Existing Stories
-
-- Check `dev-story-location` from config (e.g., `docs/stories/`) for existing story files
-- If the directory exists and has at least 1 file, find the highest-numbered story file.
-- **If a highest story file exists (`{lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md`):**
-  - Verify its `Status` is 'Done' (or equivalent).
-  - If not 'Done', present an alert to the user:
-
-    ```plaintext
-    ALERT: Found incomplete story:
-    File: {lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md
-    Status: [current status]
-
-    Would you like to:
-    1. View the incomplete story details (instructs user to do so, agent does not display)
-    2. Cancel new story creation at this time
-    3. Accept risk & Override to create the next story in draft
-
-    Please choose an option (1/2/3):
-    ```
-
-  - Proceed only if user selects option 3 (Override) or if the last story was 'Done'.
-  - If proceeding: Look for the Epic File for `{lastEpicNum}` (e.g., `epic-{lastEpicNum}*.md`) and check for a story numbered `{lastStoryNum + 1}`. If it exists and its prerequisites (per Epic File) are met, this is the next story.
-  - Else (story not found or prerequisites not met): The next story is the first story in the next Epic File (e.g., look for `epic-{lastEpicNum + 1}*.md`, then `epic-{lastEpicNum + 2}*.md`, etc.) whose prerequisites are met.
-
-- **If no story files exist in `docs/stories/`:**
-  - The next story is the first story in the first epic file (look for `epic-1-*.md`, then `epic-2-*.md`, etc.) whose prerequisites are met.
-- If no suitable story with met prerequisites is found, report to the user that story creation is blocked, specifying what prerequisites are pending. HALT task.
-- Announce the identified story to the user: "Identified next story for preparation: {epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}".
-
-### 2. Gather Core Story Requirements (from Epic)
-
-- For the identified story, review its parent Epic (e.g., `epic-{epicNum}*.md` from the location identified in step 1.1).
-- Extract: Exact Title, full Goal/User Story statement, initial list of Requirements, all Acceptance Criteria (ACs), and any predefined high-level Tasks.
-- Keep a record of this original epic-defined scope for later deviation analysis.
-
-### 3. Review Previous Story and Extract Dev Notes
-
-[[LLM: This step is CRITICAL for continuity and learning from implementation experience]]
-
-- If this is not the first story (i.e., previous story exists):
-  - Read the previous sequential story from `docs/stories`
-  - Pay special attention to:
-    - Dev Agent Record sections (especially Completion Notes and Debug Log References)
-    - Any deviations from planned implementation
-    - Technical decisions made during implementation
-    - Challenges encountered and solutions applied
-    - Any "lessons learned" or notes for future stories
-  - Extract relevant insights that might inform the current story's preparation
-
-### 4. Gather & Synthesize Architecture Context
-
-[[LLM: CRITICAL - You MUST gather technical details from the architecture documents. NEVER make up technical details not found in these documents.]]
-
-#### 4.1 Determine Architecture Document Strategy
-
-Based on configuration loaded in Step 0:
-
-- **If `architectureVersion: v4` and `architectureSharded: true`**:
-  - Read `{architectureShardedLocation}/index.md` to understand available documentation
-  - Follow the structured reading order in section 4.2 below
-  
-- **If `architectureVersion: v4` and `architectureSharded: false`**:
-  - Load the monolithic architecture from `architecture-file`
-  - Extract relevant sections based on v4 structure (tech stack, project structure, etc.)
-  
-- **If `architectureVersion` is NOT v4**:
-  - Inform user: "Architecture document is not v4 format. Will use best judgment to find relevant information."
-  - If `architectureSharded: true`: Search sharded files by filename relevance
-  - If `architectureSharded: false`: Search within monolithic `architecture-file` for relevant sections
-
-#### 4.2 Recommended Reading Order Based on Story Type (v4 Sharded Only)
-
-[[LLM: Use this structured approach ONLY for v4 sharded architecture. For other versions, use best judgment based on file names and content.]]
-
-**For ALL Stories:**
-
-1. `docs/architecture/tech-stack.md` - Understand technology constraints and versions
-2. `docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md` - Know where code should be placed
-3. `docs/architecture/coding-standards.md` - Ensure dev follows project conventions
-4. `docs/architecture/testing-strategy.md` - Include testing requirements in tasks
-
-**For Backend/API Stories, additionally read:**
-5. `docs/architecture/data-models.md` - Data structures and validation rules
-6. `docs/architecture/database-schema.md` - Database design and relationships
-7. `docs/architecture/backend-architecture.md` - Service patterns and structure
-8. `docs/architecture/rest-api-spec.md` - API endpoint specifications
-9. `docs/architecture/external-apis.md` - Third-party integrations (if relevant)
-
-**For Frontend/UI Stories, additionally read:**
-5. `docs/architecture/frontend-architecture.md` - Component structure and patterns
-6. `docs/architecture/components.md` - Specific component designs
-7. `docs/architecture/core-workflows.md` - User interaction flows
-8. `docs/architecture/data-models.md` - Frontend data handling
-
-**For Full-Stack Stories:**
-
-- Read both Backend and Frontend sections above
-
-#### 4.3 Extract Story-Specific Technical Details
-
-[[LLM: As you read each document, extract ONLY the information directly relevant to implementing the current story. Do NOT include general information unless it directly impacts the story implementation.]]
-
-For each relevant document, extract:
-
-- Specific data models, schemas, or structures the story will use
-- API endpoints the story must implement or consume
-- Component specifications for UI elements in the story
-- File paths and naming conventions for new code
-- Testing requirements specific to the story's features
-- Security or performance considerations affecting the story
-
-#### 4.4 Document Source References
-
-[[LLM: ALWAYS cite the source document and section for each technical detail you include. This helps the dev agent verify information if needed.]]
-
-Format references as: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]`
-
-### 5. Verify Project Structure Alignment
-
-- Cross-reference the story's requirements and anticipated file manipulations with the Project Structure Guide from `docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md`.
-- Ensure any file paths, component locations, or module names implied by the story align with defined structures.
-- Document any structural conflicts, necessary clarifications, or undefined components/paths in a "Project Structure Notes" section within the story draft.
-
-### 6. Populate Story Template with Full Context
-
-- Create a new story file: `{dev-story-location}/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` (using location from config).
-- Use the Story Template to structure the file.
-- Fill in:
-  - Story `{EpicNum}.{StoryNum}: {Short Title Copied from Epic File}`
-  - `Status: Draft`
-  - `Story` (User Story statement from Epic)
-  - `Acceptance Criteria (ACs)` (from Epic, to be refined if needed based on context)
-- **`Dev Technical Guidance` section (CRITICAL):**
-
-  [[LLM: This section MUST contain ONLY information extracted from the architecture shards. NEVER invent or assume technical details.]]
-
-  - Include ALL relevant technical details gathered from Steps 3 and 4, organized by category:
-    - **Previous Story Insights**: Key learnings or considerations from the previous story
-    - **Data Models**: Specific schemas, validation rules, relationships [with source references]
-    - **API Specifications**: Endpoint details, request/response formats, auth requirements [with source references]
-    - **Component Specifications**: UI component details, props, state management [with source references]
-    - **File Locations**: Exact paths where new code should be created based on project structure
-    - **Testing Requirements**: Specific test cases or strategies from testing-strategy.md
-    - **Technical Constraints**: Version requirements, performance considerations, security rules
-  - Every technical detail MUST include its source reference: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]`
-  - If information for a category is not found in the architecture docs, explicitly state: "No specific guidance found in architecture docs"
-
-- **`Tasks / Subtasks` section:**
-  - Generate a detailed, sequential list of technical tasks based ONLY on:
-    - Requirements from the Epic
-    - Technical constraints from architecture shards
-    - Project structure from unified-project-structure.md
-    - Testing requirements from testing-strategy.md
-  - Each task must reference relevant architecture documentation
-  - Include unit testing as explicit subtasks based on testing-strategy.md
-  - Link tasks to ACs where applicable (e.g., `Task 1 (AC: 1, 3)`)
-- Add notes on project structure alignment or discrepancies found in Step 5.
-- Prepare content for the "Deviation Analysis" based on any conflicts between epic requirements and architecture constraints.
-
-### 7. Run Story Draft Checklist
-
-- Execute the Story Draft Checklist against the prepared story
-- Document any issues or gaps identified
-- Make necessary adjustments to meet quality standards
-- Ensure all technical guidance is properly sourced from architecture docs
-
-### 8. Finalize Story File
-
-- Review all sections for completeness and accuracy
-- Verify all source references are included for technical details
-- Ensure tasks align with both epic requirements and architecture constraints
-- Update status to "Draft"
-- Save the story file to `{dev-story-location}/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md` (using location from config)
-
-### 9. Report Completion
-
-Provide a summary to the user including:
-
-- Story created: `{epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}`
-- Status: Draft
-- Key technical components included from architecture docs
-- Any deviations or conflicts noted between epic and architecture
-- Recommendations for story review before approval
-- Next steps: Story should be reviewed by PO for approval before dev work begins
-
-[[LLM: Remember - The success of this task depends on extracting real, specific technical details from the architecture shards. The dev agent should have everything they need in the story file without having to search through multiple documents.]]
-==================== END: tasks#create-next-story ====================
-
-==================== START: tasks#execute-checklist ====================
-# Checklist Validation Task
-
-This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
-
-## Context
-
-The BMAD Method uses various checklists to ensure quality and completeness of different artifacts. Each checklist contains embedded prompts and instructions to guide the LLM through thorough validation and advanced elicitation. The checklists automatically identify their required artifacts and guide the validation process.
-
-## Available Checklists
-
-If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the bmad-core/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
-
-## Instructions
-
-1. **Initial Assessment**
-
-   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
-     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
-     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
-     - Load the appropriate checklist from bmad-core/checklists/
-   - If no checklist specified:
-     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
-     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
-   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
-     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
-     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
-
-2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
-
-   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
-   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
-
-3. **Checklist Processing**
-
-   If in interactive mode:
-
-   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
-   - For each section:
-     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
-     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
-     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
-     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
-
-   If in YOLO mode:
-
-   - Process all sections at once
-   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
-   - Present the complete analysis to the user
-
-4. **Validation Approach**
-
-   For each checklist item:
-
-   - Read and understand the requirement
-   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
-   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
-   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
-   - Mark items as:
-     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
-     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
-     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
-     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
-
-5. **Section Analysis**
-
-   For each section:
-
-   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
-   - Identify common themes in failed items
-   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
-   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
-   - Document any user decisions or explanations
-
-6. **Final Report**
-
-   Prepare a summary that includes:
-
-   - Overall checklist completion status
-   - Pass rates by section
-   - List of failed items with context
-   - Specific recommendations for improvement
-   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
-
-## Checklist Execution Methodology
-
-Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
-
-1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
-2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
-3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
-4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
-
-The LLM will:
-
-- Execute the complete checklist validation
-- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
-- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

Critical: If known add Relevant Source Tree info that relates to this story. If there were important notes from previous story that are relevant to this one, also include them here if it will help the dev agent. You do NOT need to repeat anything from coding standards or test standards as the dev agent is already aware of those. The dev agent should NEVER need to read the PRD or architecture documents or child documents though to complete this self contained story, because your critical mission is to share the specific items needed here extremely concisely for the Dev Agent LLM to comprehend with the least about of context overhead token usage needed.]]

-==================== END: templates#story-tmpl ====================
-
-==================== START: checklists#story-draft-checklist ====================
-# Story Draft Checklist
-
-The Scrum Master should use this checklist to validate that each story contains sufficient context for a developer agent to implement it successfully, while assuming the dev agent has reasonable capabilities to figure things out.
-
-[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - STORY DRAFT VALIDATION
-
-Before proceeding with this checklist, ensure you have access to:
-
-1. The story document being validated (usually in docs/stories/ or provided directly)
-2. The parent epic context
-3. Any referenced architecture or design documents
-4. Previous related stories if this builds on prior work
-
-IMPORTANT: This checklist validates individual stories BEFORE implementation begins.
-
-VALIDATION PRINCIPLES:
-
-1. Clarity - A developer should understand WHAT to build
-2. Context - WHY this is being built and how it fits
-3. Guidance - Key technical decisions and patterns to follow
-4. Testability - How to verify the implementation works
-5. Self-Contained - Most info needed is in the story itself
-
-REMEMBER: We assume competent developer agents who can:
-
-- Research documentation and codebases
-- Make reasonable technical decisions
-- Follow established patterns
-- Ask for clarification when truly stuck
-
-We're checking for SUFFICIENT guidance, not exhaustive detail.]]
-
-## 1. GOAL & CONTEXT CLARITY
-
-[[LLM: Without clear goals, developers build the wrong thing. Verify:
-
-1. The story states WHAT functionality to implement
-2. The business value or user benefit is clear
-3. How this fits into the larger epic/product is explained
-4. Dependencies are explicit ("requires Story X to be complete")
-5. Success looks like something specific, not vague]]
-
-- [ ] Story goal/purpose is clearly stated
-- [ ] Relationship to epic goals is evident
-- [ ] How the story fits into overall system flow is explained
-- [ ] Dependencies on previous stories are identified (if applicable)
-- [ ] Business context and value are clear
-
-## 2. TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE
-
-[[LLM: Developers need enough technical context to start coding. Check:
-
-1. Key files/components to create or modify are mentioned
-2. Technology choices are specified where non-obvious
-3. Integration points with existing code are identified
-4. Data models or API contracts are defined or referenced
-5. Non-standard patterns or exceptions are called out
-
-Note: We don't need every file listed - just the important ones.]]
-
-- [ ] Key files to create/modify are identified (not necessarily exhaustive)
-- [ ] Technologies specifically needed for this story are mentioned
-- [ ] Critical APIs or interfaces are sufficiently described
-- [ ] Necessary data models or structures are referenced
-- [ ] Required environment variables are listed (if applicable)
-- [ ] Any exceptions to standard coding patterns are noted
-
-## 3. REFERENCE EFFECTIVENESS
-
-[[LLM: References should help, not create a treasure hunt. Ensure:
-
-1. References point to specific sections, not whole documents
-2. The relevance of each reference is explained
-3. Critical information is summarized in the story
-4. References are accessible (not broken links)
-5. Previous story context is summarized if needed]]
-
-- [ ] References to external documents point to specific relevant sections
-- [ ] Critical information from previous stories is summarized (not just referenced)
-- [ ] Context is provided for why references are relevant
-- [ ] References use consistent format (e.g., `docs/filename.md#section`)
-
-## 4. SELF-CONTAINMENT ASSESSMENT
-
-[[LLM: Stories should be mostly self-contained to avoid context switching. Verify:
-
-1. Core requirements are in the story, not just in references
-2. Domain terms are explained or obvious from context
-3. Assumptions are stated explicitly
-4. Edge cases are mentioned (even if deferred)
-5. The story could be understood without reading 10 other documents]]
-
-- [ ] Core information needed is included (not overly reliant on external docs)
-- [ ] Implicit assumptions are made explicit
-- [ ] Domain-specific terms or concepts are explained
-- [ ] Edge cases or error scenarios are addressed
-
-## 5. TESTING GUIDANCE
-
-[[LLM: Testing ensures the implementation actually works. Check:
-
-1. Test approach is specified (unit, integration, e2e)
-2. Key test scenarios are listed
-3. Success criteria are measurable
-4. Special test considerations are noted
-5. Acceptance criteria in the story are testable]]
-
-- [ ] Required testing approach is outlined
-- [ ] Key test scenarios are identified
-- [ ] Success criteria are defined
-- [ ] Special testing considerations are noted (if applicable)
-
-## VALIDATION RESULT
-
-[[LLM: FINAL STORY VALIDATION REPORT
-
-Generate a concise validation report:
-
-1. Quick Summary
-
-   - Story readiness: READY / NEEDS REVISION / BLOCKED
-   - Clarity score (1-10)
-   - Major gaps identified
-
-2. Fill in the validation table with:
-
-   - PASS: Requirements clearly met
-   - PARTIAL: Some gaps but workable
-   - FAIL: Critical information missing
-
-3. Specific Issues (if any)
-
-   - List concrete problems to fix
-   - Suggest specific improvements
-   - Identify any blocking dependencies
-
-4. Developer Perspective
-   - Could YOU implement this story as written?
-   - What questions would you have?
-   - What might cause delays or rework?
-
-Be pragmatic - perfect documentation doesn't exist. Focus on whether a competent developer can succeed with this story.]]

-# 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

-# 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.

-==================== END: tasks#create-game-story ====================
-
-==================== START: tasks#execute-checklist ====================
-# Checklist Validation Task
-
-This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
-
-## Context
-
-The BMAD Method uses various checklists to ensure quality and completeness of different artifacts. Each checklist contains embedded prompts and instructions to guide the LLM through thorough validation and advanced elicitation. The checklists automatically identify their required artifacts and guide the validation process.
-
-## Available Checklists
-
-If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the bmad-core/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
-
-## Instructions
-
-1. **Initial Assessment**
-
-   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
-     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
-     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
-     - Load the appropriate checklist from bmad-core/checklists/
-   - If no checklist specified:
-     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
-     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
-   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
-     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
-     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
-
-2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
-
-   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
-   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
-
-3. **Checklist Processing**
-
-   If in interactive mode:
-
-   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
-   - For each section:
-     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
-     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
-     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
-     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
-
-   If in YOLO mode:
-
-   - Process all sections at once
-   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
-   - Present the complete analysis to the user
-
-4. **Validation Approach**
-
-   For each checklist item:
-
-   - Read and understand the requirement
-   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
-   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
-   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
-   - Mark items as:
-     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
-     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
-     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
-     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
-
-5. **Section Analysis**
-
-   For each section:
-
-   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
-   - Identify common themes in failed items
-   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
-   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
-   - Document any user decisions or explanations
-
-6. **Final Report**
-
-   Prepare a summary that includes:
-
-   - Overall checklist completion status
-   - Pass rates by section
-   - List of failed items with context
-   - Specific recommendations for improvement
-   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
-
-## Checklist Execution Methodology
-
-Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
-
-1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
-2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
-3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
-4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
-
-The LLM will:
-
-- Execute the complete checklist validation
-- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
-- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures
