- 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
- Quality Gate Discipline - NEVER complete tasks with failing automated validations
- 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

- "Completion Notes: Deviations only, <50 words"
- "Change Log: Requirement changes only"
- "File List: CRITICAL - Maintain complete list of ALL files created/modified during implementation"
blocking: "Unapproved deps | Ambiguous after story check | 3 failures | Missing config | Failing validations"
done: "Code matches reqs + All validations pass + Follows standards + File List complete"
completion: "All [x]→Validations pass→Integration(if noted)→E2E(if noted)→DoD→Update File List→Mark Ready for Review→HALT"

This makes it easy to benefit from the latest improvements, bug fixes, and new agents without losing your customizations! If for some reason this fails, you can rename or remove your .bmad-code folder and run the install again. The main thing to look out for is if you have set up custom modes that are not file driven (Cursor is the only one at this time that is not done through project files lagging behind) - you will want to ensure your sm and dev custom modes especially are kept up to date.

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

## Advanced Features
### Dynamic Dependencies
Each agent only loads the resources it needs, keeping context windows lean.
### Template System
Rich templates for all document types:
- Product Requirements (PRD)
- Architecture Documents
- User Stories
- Test Plans
- And more...
Templates are unique in that they are embedded with the LLM instructions also for further working with you to prompt and elicit the best from you and your agile agent team member - allowing for unique coaching and customization options. While there is a single create-doc task, the possibilities are endless when you expand the templates into more doc types, or customize with your own docs embedded with the templating markup and LLM instruction framework that is core to the BMad Method.
### Slash Star Commands
Ask the agent you are using for help with /help (in the web) or \*help in the ide to see what commands are available!
### Advanced Elicitation
Many of the Agents and Templates for docs, and some tasks, include Advanced Elicitation directives based on the latest in LLM interactions and pro level prompt engineering guidance. With this, you can push the Agents further than ever before. If an agent proposes an idea, or an architecture - you can push it further with optional elicitations where it will have to really expand on, defend, or produce other options and prove its suggestion was better. This is a necessary step if you want the absolute best beyond accepting the generated average responses the LLMs think you want to hear for their first response. Some of this is interactive, and some of this is baked into the core prompting engine that powers the LLM progression through various tasks and template flows.

### CLI Commands
### Key Resources
```bash
# List all available agents
npx bmad-method list
# Install or update (automatically detects existing installations)
npx bmad-method install
# Check installation status
npx bmad-method status
```
### Upgrading from V3 to V4
If you have an existing BMAD-METHOD V3 project, simply run the installer in your project directory:
```bash
npx bmad-method install
# The installer will automatically detect your V3 installation and offer to upgrade
```
The upgrade process will:
1. Create a backup of your V3 files in `.bmad-v3-backup/`
2. Install the new V4 `.bmad-core/` structure
3. Migrate your documents (PRD, Architecture, Stories, Epics)
4. Set up IDE integration for all V4 agents
5. Create an install manifest for future updates
After upgrading:
1. Review your documents in the `docs/` folder - 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.
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)
**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)
**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!
#### What is core-config.yml?
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.
#### Key Features
- **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
#### Why It Matters
- **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.

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

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

# 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

# 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.

# Create Document from Template Task
## Purpose
Generate documents from templates by EXECUTING (not just reading) embedded instructions from the perspective of the selected agent persona.
## CRITICAL RULES
1. **Templates are PROGRAMS** - Execute every [[LLM:]] instruction exactly as written
2. **NEVER show markup** - Hide all [[LLM:]], {{placeholders}}, @{examples}, and template syntax
3. **STOP and EXECUTE** - When you see "apply tasks#" or "execute tasks#", STOP and run that task immediately
4. **WAIT for user input** - At review points and after elicitation tasks
## Execution Flow
### 1. Identify Template
- Load from `templates#*` or `{root}/templates directory`
- Agent-specific templates are listed in agent's dependencies
- If agent has `templates: [prd-tmpl, architecture-tmpl]`, offer to create "PRD" and "Architecture" documents
### 2. Ask Interaction Mode
> 1. **Incremental** - Section by section with reviews
> 2. **YOLO Mode** - Complete draft then review (user can type `/yolo` anytime to switch)
### 3. Execute Template
- Replace {{placeholders}} with real content
- Execute [[LLM:]] instructions as you encounter them
- Process <<REPEAT>> loops and ^^CONDITIONS^^
- Use @{examples} for guidance but never output them
### 4. Key Execution Patterns
**When you see:** `[[LLM: Draft X and immediately execute tasks#advanced-elicitation]]`
- Draft the content
- Present it to user
- IMMEDIATELY execute the task
- Wait for completion before continuing
**When you see:** `[[LLM: After section completion, apply tasks#Y]]`
- Finish the section
- STOP and execute the task
- Wait for user input
### 5. Validation & Final Presentation
- Run any specified checklists
- Present clean, formatted content only
- No truncation or summarization
- Begin directly with content (no preamble)
- Include any handoff prompts from template
## Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Skipping elicitation tasks
❌ Showing template markup to users
❌ Continuing past STOP signals
❌ Combining multiple review points
✅ Execute ALL instructions in sequence
✅ Present only clean, formatted content
✅ Stop at every elicitation point
✅ Wait for user confirmation when instructed
## Remember
Templates contain precise instructions for a reason. Follow them exactly to ensure document quality and completeness.

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

Enables BMAD orchestrator to manage and execute team workflows.
## Important: Dynamic Workflow Loading
## 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.
Read available workflows from current team configuration's `workflows` field. Each team bundle defines its own supported workflows.
**Critical Distinction**:
**Key Commands**:
- 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
- `/workflows` - List workflows in current bundle or workflows folder
- `/agent-list` - Show agents in current bundle
## 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.
```
Lists available workflows with titles and descriptions.
### /workflow-start {workflow-id}
Starts a specific workflow and transitions to the first agent.
Example: `/workflow-start greenfield-fullstack`
Starts workflow and transitions to first agent.
### /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
```
Shows current progress, completed artifacts, and next steps.
### /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?
```
Resumes workflow from last position. User can provide completed artifacts.
### /workflow-next
Shows the next recommended agent and action in the current workflow.
Shows next recommended agent and action.
## Workflow Execution Flow
## Execution Flow
### 1. Starting a Workflow
1. **Starting**: Load definition → Identify first stage → Transition to agent → Guide artifact creation
When a workflow is started:
2. **Stage Transitions**: Mark complete → Check conditions → Load next agent → Pass artifacts
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
3. **Artifact Tracking**: Track status, creator, timestamps in workflow_state
### 2. Stage Transitions
4. **Interruption Handling**: Analyze provided artifacts → Determine position → Suggest next step
After each artifact is completed:
## Context Passing
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
When transitioning, pass:
### 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...
```
- Previous artifacts
- Current workflow stage
- Expected outputs
- Decisions/constraints
## Multi-Path Workflows
Some workflows may have multiple paths:
Handle conditional paths by asking clarifying questions when needed.
```yaml
conditional_paths:
- condition: project_type == 'mobile'
next_stage: mobile-specific-design
- condition: project_type == 'web'
next_stage: web-architecture
- default: fullstack-architecture
```
## Best Practices
Handle these by asking clarifying questions when needed.
1. Show progress
2. Explain transitions
3. Preserve context
4. Allow flexibility
5. Track state
## Workflow Best Practices
## Agent Integration
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.
Agents should be workflow-aware: know active workflow, their role, access artifacts, understand expected outputs.

# Workflow Management
This utility enables the BMAD orchestrator to manage and execute team workflows.
Enables BMAD orchestrator to manage and execute team workflows.
## Important: Dynamic Workflow Loading
## 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.
Read available workflows from current team configuration's `workflows` field. Each team bundle defines its own supported workflows.
**Critical Distinction**:
**Key Commands**:
- 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
- `/workflows` - List workflows in current bundle or workflows folder
- `/agent-list` - Show agents in current bundle
## 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.
```
Lists available workflows with titles and descriptions.
### /workflow-start {workflow-id}
Starts a specific workflow and transitions to the first agent.
Example: `/workflow-start greenfield-fullstack`
Starts workflow and transitions to first agent.
### /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
```
Shows current progress, completed artifacts, and next steps.
### /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?
```
Resumes workflow from last position. User can provide completed artifacts.
### /workflow-next
Shows the next recommended agent and action in the current workflow.
Shows next recommended agent and action.
## Workflow Execution Flow
## Execution Flow
### 1. Starting a Workflow
1. **Starting**: Load definition → Identify first stage → Transition to agent → Guide artifact creation
When a workflow is started:
2. **Stage Transitions**: Mark complete → Check conditions → Load next agent → Pass artifacts
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
3. **Artifact Tracking**: Track status, creator, timestamps in workflow_state
### 2. Stage Transitions
4. **Interruption Handling**: Analyze provided artifacts → Determine position → Suggest next step
After each artifact is completed:
## Context Passing
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
When transitioning, pass:
### 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...
```
- Previous artifacts
- Current workflow stage
- Expected outputs
- Decisions/constraints
## Multi-Path Workflows
Some workflows may have multiple paths:
Handle conditional paths by asking clarifying questions when needed.
```yaml
conditional_paths:
- condition: project_type == 'mobile'
next_stage: mobile-specific-design
- condition: project_type == 'web'
next_stage: web-architecture
- default: fullstack-architecture
```
## Best Practices
Handle these by asking clarifying questions when needed.
1. Show progress
2. Explain transitions
3. Preserve context
4. Allow flexibility
5. Track state
## Workflow Best Practices
## Agent Integration
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.
Agents should be workflow-aware: know active workflow, their role, access artifacts, understand expected outputs.

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.

# Workflow Management
This utility enables the BMAD orchestrator to manage and execute team workflows.
Enables BMAD orchestrator to manage and execute team workflows.
## Important: Dynamic Workflow Loading
## 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.
Read available workflows from current team configuration's `workflows` field. Each team bundle defines its own supported workflows.
**Critical Distinction**:
**Key Commands**:
- 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
- `/workflows` - List workflows in current bundle or workflows folder
- `/agent-list` - Show agents in current bundle
## 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.
```
Lists available workflows with titles and descriptions.
### /workflow-start {workflow-id}
Starts a specific workflow and transitions to the first agent.
Example: `/workflow-start greenfield-fullstack`
Starts workflow and transitions to first agent.
### /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
```
Shows current progress, completed artifacts, and next steps.
### /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?
```
Resumes workflow from last position. User can provide completed artifacts.
### /workflow-next
Shows the next recommended agent and action in the current workflow.
Shows next recommended agent and action.
## Workflow Execution Flow
## Execution Flow
### 1. Starting a Workflow
1. **Starting**: Load definition → Identify first stage → Transition to agent → Guide artifact creation
When a workflow is started:
2. **Stage Transitions**: Mark complete → Check conditions → Load next agent → Pass artifacts
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
3. **Artifact Tracking**: Track status, creator, timestamps in workflow_state
### 2. Stage Transitions
4. **Interruption Handling**: Analyze provided artifacts → Determine position → Suggest next step
After each artifact is completed:
## Context Passing
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
When transitioning, pass:
### 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...
```
- Previous artifacts
- Current workflow stage
- Expected outputs
- Decisions/constraints
## Multi-Path Workflows
Some workflows may have multiple paths:
Handle conditional paths by asking clarifying questions when needed.
```yaml
conditional_paths:
- condition: project_type == 'mobile'
next_stage: mobile-specific-design
- condition: project_type == 'web'
next_stage: web-architecture
- default: fullstack-architecture
```
## Best Practices
Handle these by asking clarifying questions when needed.
1. Show progress
2. Explain transitions
3. Preserve context
4. Allow flexibility
5. Track state
## Workflow Best Practices
## Agent Integration
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.
Agents should be workflow-aware: know active workflow, their role, access artifacts, understand expected outputs.

Enables BMAD orchestrator to manage and execute team workflows.
## Important: Dynamic Workflow Loading
## 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.
Read available workflows from current team configuration's `workflows` field. Each team bundle defines its own supported workflows.
**Critical Distinction**:
**Key Commands**:
- 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
- `/workflows` - List workflows in current bundle or workflows folder
- `/agent-list` - Show agents in current bundle
## 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.
```
Lists available workflows with titles and descriptions.
### /workflow-start {workflow-id}
Starts a specific workflow and transitions to the first agent.
Example: `/workflow-start greenfield-fullstack`
Starts workflow and transitions to first agent.
### /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
```
Shows current progress, completed artifacts, and next steps.
### /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?
```
Resumes workflow from last position. User can provide completed artifacts.
### /workflow-next
Shows the next recommended agent and action in the current workflow.
Shows next recommended agent and action.
## Workflow Execution Flow
## Execution Flow
### 1. Starting a Workflow
1. **Starting**: Load definition → Identify first stage → Transition to agent → Guide artifact creation
When a workflow is started:
2. **Stage Transitions**: Mark complete → Check conditions → Load next agent → Pass artifacts
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
3. **Artifact Tracking**: Track status, creator, timestamps in workflow_state
### 2. Stage Transitions
4. **Interruption Handling**: Analyze provided artifacts → Determine position → Suggest next step
After each artifact is completed:
## Context Passing
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
When transitioning, pass:
### 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...
```
- Previous artifacts
- Current workflow stage
- Expected outputs
- Decisions/constraints
## Multi-Path Workflows
Some workflows may have multiple paths:
Handle conditional paths by asking clarifying questions when needed.
```yaml
conditional_paths:
- condition: project_type == 'mobile'
next_stage: mobile-specific-design
- condition: project_type == 'web'
next_stage: web-architecture
- default: fullstack-architecture
```
## Best Practices
Handle these by asking clarifying questions when needed.
1. Show progress
2. Explain transitions
3. Preserve context
4. Allow flexibility
5. Track state
## Workflow Best Practices
## Agent Integration
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.
Agents should be workflow-aware: know active workflow, their role, access artifacts, understand expected outputs.
