155f9591ea feat: Add Auggie CLI (Augment Code) Integration (#520)
* feat: add Augment Code IDE support with multi-location installation options

- Add Augment Code to supported IDE list in installer CLI and interactive prompts
- Configure multi-location setup for Augment Code commands:
  - User Commands: ~/.augment/commands/bmad/ (global, user-wide)
  - Workspace Commands: ./.augment/commands/bmad/ (project-specific, team-shared)
- Update IDE configuration with proper location handling and tilde expansion
- Add interactive prompt for users to select installation locations
- Update documentation in bmad-kb.md to include Augment Code in supported IDEs
- Implement setupAugmentCode method with location selection and file installation

This enables BMAD Method integration with Augment Code's custom command system,
allowing users to access BMad agents via /agent-name slash commands in both
global and project-specific contexts.

* Added options to choose the rule locations

* Update instruction to match with namespace for commands

* Update instruction to match with namespace for commands

* Renamed Augment Code to Auggie CLI (Augment Code)

ab70baca59 fix: remove incorrect else branch causing flatten command regression (#452)
This fixes a regression bug where the flatten command would fail with an
error message even when valid arguments were provided.

The bug was:
- First introduced in commit 0fdbca7
- Fixed in commit fab9d5e (v5.0.0-beta.2)
- Accidentally reintroduced in commit ed53943

The else branch at lines 130-134 was incorrectly handling the case when
users provided arguments, showing a misleading error about
'no arguments provided' when arguments were actually present.

Fixes all flatten command variations:
- npx bmad-method flatten
- npx bmad-method flatten --input /path
- npx bmad-method flatten --output file.xml
- npx bmad-method flatten --input /path --output file.xml

b6fe44b16e fix: alphabetize agent commands and dependencies for improved organization
- Alphabetized all commands in agent files while maintaining help first and exit last
- Alphabetized all dependency categories (checklists, data, tasks, templates, utils, workflows)
- Alphabetized items within each dependency category across all 10 core agents:
  - analyst.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
  - architect.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
  - bmad-master.md: commands and dependencies reorganized, fixed YAML parsing issue
  - bmad-orchestrator.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
  - dev.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
  - pm.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
  - po.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
  - qa.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
  - sm.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
  - ux-expert.md: commands and dependencies reorganized
- Fixed YAML parsing error in bmad-master.md by properly quoting activation instructions
- Rebuilt all agent bundles and team bundles successfully
- Updated expansion pack bundles including new creative writing agents

This improves consistency and makes it easier to locate specific commands and dependencies
across all agent configurations.

d563266b97 feat: install Cursor rules to subdirectory (#438)
* feat: install Cursor rules to subdirectory

Implement feature request #376 to avoid filename collisions and confusion
between repo-specific and BMAD-specific rules.

Changes:
- Move Cursor rules from .cursor/rules/ to .cursor/rules/bmad/
- Update installer configuration to use new subdirectory structure
- Update upgrader to reflect new rule directory path

This keeps BMAD Method files separate from existing project rules,
reducing chance of conflicts and improving organization.

Fixes #376

* chore: correct formatting in cursor rules directory path

b7361d244c Update dependency-resolver.js (#286)
When cloning a project in a Windows environment, Git may automatically convert line endings from `\n` to `\r\n`. This can cause a mismatch in the `yaml` configuration, leading to a build failure. To resolve this, a step has been added to enforce the replacement of `\r` characters, ensuring the build can proceed normally.

## Examples
<details>
<summary>Click to see a GOOD example</summary>
### 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.
**S**ize:
- [x] **M** - 3-5 days

### Idea: Make the app better
**P**roblem:
The app needs improvements and updates.
**A**udience:
Users
**S**olution:
Fix issues and add features.
**S**ize:
- [ ] Unknown
_Why this is poor: Too vague, no specific problem identified, no measurable success criteria, unclear scope_
</details>****
---
## 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

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

## 🔄 Important: Keeping Your BMAD Installation Updated 📋 **[View v6 Alpha Open Items & Roadmap](./v6-open-items.md)** - Track what's being worked on and what's coming next!
**Stay up-to-date effortlessly!** If you already have BMAD-METHOD installed in your project, simply run: ### ⚠️ Important Alpha Notes
```bash **Note 0 - Frequent Updates:** Updates to the branch will be frequent. When pulling new updates, it's best to delete your node_modules folder and run `npm install` to ensure you have the latest package dependencies.
npx bmad-method install
```
The installer will: **Note 1 - Alpha Stability:** ALPHA is potentially an unstable release that could drastically change. While we hope that isn't the case, your testing during this time is much appreciated. Please help us out by filing issues or reaching out in Discord to discuss.
- ✅ Automatically detect your existing v4 installation **Note 2 - Work in Progress:** ALPHA is not complete - there are still many small and big features, polish, doc improvements, and more agents and workflows coming ahead of the beta release!
- ✅ Update only the files that have changed
- ✅ Create `.bak` backup files for any custom modifications you've made
- ✅ Preserve your project-specific configurations
This makes it easy to benefit from the latest improvements, bug fixes, and new agents without losing your customizations! **Note 3 - IDE Required:** ALPHA Web Bundles and Agents are not fully working yet - you will need to use a good quality IDE to test many features, especially with the BMad Method module. However, the new agent builder and standalone agent feature can work great with weaker models - this will still evolve over the coming weeks.
## 🚀 Quick Start **Note 4 - Contributing:** If you would like to contribute a PR, make sure you are creating your PR against the Alpha Branch and not Main.
### Fastest Start: Web UI (2 minutes) 🏃‍♂️ ## Alpha Installation and Testing
1. **Get the bundle**: Copy `dist/teams/team-fullstack.txt` (from this repository) **Prerequisites**: [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20+ required
2. **Create AI agent**: Create a new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT
3. **Upload & configure**: Upload the file and set instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
4. **Start Ideating and Planning**: Start chatting! Type `*help` to see available commands or pick an agent like `*analyst` to start right in on creating a brief.
> 💡 **All pre-built bundles are in the `dist/` folder** - ready to copy and use immediately! ### Option A
### IDE Quick Start (5 minutes) 💻 Thank you Lum for the suggestion - here is a one-shot instruction to clone just the alpha branch and get started:
**Prerequisites**: Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) (v20 or higher) `git clone --branch v6-alpha --single-branch https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD` and then cd into this directory and run `npm install`.
Run `npx bmad-method install` ### Option B
This installs all agents and configures them for your IDE. If you have an existing v3 installation, it will offer to upgrade it automatically. Here are the more detailed step-by-step instructions:
## 📋 Table of Contents Clone the repo with either:
- [Overview](#overview) - `gh repo clone bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD`
- [Installation](#installation) - `git clone https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD.git`
- [Available Agents](#available-agents) - `git@github.com:bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD.git`
- [Usage](#usage) and then cd into the BMAD-METHOD folder.
- [Project Structure](#project-structure)
- [Contributing](#contributing)
## Overview You will then need to change to the branch as that will have cloned main, so type:
- `git checkout v6-alpha`
- type `git status` and you should see:
`On branch v6-alpha. Your branch is up to date with 'origin/v6-alpha'.`
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. ### Node Modules install
### Why BMAD? Now you must install the node_modules with `npm install` - once complete, you should see you have a `node_modules` folder at the root of your project. (BMAD-METHOD/node_modules)
- **🎯 Specialized Expertise**: Each agent is an expert in their specific role ### Install to your new or existing project folder
- **🔄 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
## Installation Now you can run `npm run install:bmad` and follow the installer questions.
### Method 1: Pre-Built Web Bundles (Fastest) 📦 NOTE: One of the first questions will ask for a destination - do not accept the default, you want to enter the full path to a new or existing folder of where your project is or will be. If you choose a net new folder, you will have to confirm you want the installer to create the directory for you.
For ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini web interfaces: 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.
1. Choose a bundle: **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.
- **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
### Method 2: CLI Installer (For IDEs) 🎯 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, during Alpha to test this feature, BMM relies on the brainstorming feature of the CIS and some items from CORE - so even if you only select BMM, you will still see bmad/core and bmad/cis along with bmad/bmm.
**Prerequisites**: Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20+ first ## What is the new BMad Core
Install directly into your project: `npx bmad-method install` BMad-CORE (Collaboration Optimized Reflection Engine) is a framework that brings out the best in you through AI agents designed to enhance human thinking rather than replace it.
**Supported IDEs:** Unlike traditional AI tools that do the work for you, BMad-CORE's specialized agents guide you through the facilitation of optimized collaborative reflective workflows to unlock your full potential across any domain. This magic powers the BMad Method, which is just one of the many modules that exist or are coming soon.
The BMad Method works with any IDE, but has built-in integration for: ## What Makes BMad-Core Different
- `cursor` - Cursor IDE with @agent commands **Traditional AI**: Does the thinking for you, providing average, bland answers and solutions
- `claude-code` - Claude Code with /agent commands **BMad-CORE**: Brings out the best thinking in you and the AI through guided collaboration, elicitation, and facilitation
- `windsurf` - Windsurf with @agent commands
- `gemini-cli` - Gemini 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.

# In Claude Code - **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.
/architect Design a microservices architecture - **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!
# In Windsurf ## What's New in V6-ALPHA
@dev Implement story 1.3
```
### With Web UI (ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini) Stability, customizability, installation Q&A, massive prompt improvements.
After uploading a bundle you can ask /help of the agent to learn what it can do Everything has been rewritten from the ground up with best practices and advances learned over previous versions, standardizing on prompt format techniques. There is much more core usage of XML or XML-type tags within markdown, with many conventions and standards that drastically increase agent adherence.
### CLI Commands **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.
```bash 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!
# List all available agents
npx bmad-method list
# Install or update (automatically detects existing installations) The **BMad installer** is 100% new from the ground up. Along the way you will add:
npx bmad-method install
# Check installation status - Your name (what the agents will call you and how you'll author documents)
npx bmad-method status - What language you want the agents to communicate in
``` - Module-specific customization options
### Upgrading from V3 to V4 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!
If you have an existing BMAD-METHOD V3 project, simply run the installer in your project directory: 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/.
```bash All IDE selections now support the option to add special install functionality per module.
npx bmad-method install
# The installer will automatically detect your V3 installation and offer to upgrade
```
The upgrade process will: For 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.
1. Create a backup of your V3 files in `.bmad-v3-backup/` The sub-agent experience is still undergoing some work, so install them if you choose, and remove them if they become a pain.
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: When you read about the BoMB below, it will link to more information about various features in this new evolution of BMad Code. One of the exciting features is the new agent types - there are 3 now! The most exciting are the new standalone tiny agents that you can easily generate and deploy free from any module - specialized for your exact needs.
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. ### BMad Method
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) 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.
**Note**: The agents in `.bmad-core/` fully replace the items in `bmad-agent/` - you can remove the backup folder versions. 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.
### 🔧 Core Configuration (NEW in V4) To test and experience this now, here is the new main flow for BMM v6 alpha:
**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! (Docs will be all linked in soon with new user guide and workflow diagrams coming this week)
#### What is core-config.yml? **NOTE:** Game Development expansion packs are all being rolled into the official BMad Method module - along with any more game engine platforms being added. Additionally, game development planning for the GDD is not only scale adaptive, but also adapts to the type of game you are making - so you can plan all that is needed for your dream game!
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. #### **PHASE 1 - Analysis**
#### Key Features **Analyst:**
- **Version Awareness**: Agents understand if your PRD/Architecture follows V4 conventions or earlier versions - `brainstorm-project`
- **Flexible Document Locations**: Works whether your epics are embedded in PRD or properly sharded - `research` (market research, deep research, deep research prompt generation)
- **Developer Context**: Define which files the dev agent should always load - `product-brief`
- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting story implementation
#### Why It Matters **Game Designer (Optional):**
- **Use BMAD with ANY project structure** - V3, V4, or custom layouts - `brainstorm-game`
- **No forced migrations** - Keep your existing document organization - `game-brief`
- **Customize developer workflow** - Specify exactly which files provide context - `research`
- **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. ---
## Teams & Workflows #### **PHASE 2 - Planning**
### Pre-Configured Teams **PM:**
Save context by using specialized teams: - `plan-project`
- **Team All**: Complete Agile team with all 10 agents **Game Designer:**
- **Team Fullstack**: Frontend + Backend development focus
- **Team No-UI**: Backend/API development without UX
### Workflows - `plan-game` (calls the same plan-project workflow, but input docs or your answers should drive it towards GDD)
Structured approaches for different scenarios: ---
- **Greenfield**: Starting new projects (fullstack/service/UI) #### **PHASE 3 - Solutioning**
- **Brownfield**: Enhancing existing projects
- **Simple**: Quick prototypes and MVPs
- **Complex**: Enterprise and large-scale projects
## Project Structure **Architect or Game Architect:**
```plaintext Just like the scale-adjusted planning, architecture is the same. No more document sharding though!

tools/ 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.

```
### 📦 Pre-Built Bundles (dist/ folder) 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.
**All ready-to-use bundles are in the `dist/` directory!** - `tech-spec`
- **Teams**: `dist/teams/` - Complete team configurations 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!
- `team-fullstack.txt` - Full-stack development team ---
- `team-ide-minimal.txt` - Minimal IDE workflow team
- `team-no-ui.txt` - Backend-only team
- `team-all.txt` - All agents included
- **Individual Agents**: `dist/agents/` - Single agent files #### **PHASE 4 - Implementation**
- One `.txt` file per agent (analyst, architect, dev, etc.) 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.
- **Expansion Packs**: `dist/expansion-packs/` - Specialized domains **Scrum Master (SM) Tasks:**
- Game development, DevOps, etc.
**For Web UI usage**: Simply copy any `.txt` file from `dist/` and upload to your AI platform!` Before the dev starts, the SM will:
## Advanced Features 1. `create-story`
2. `story-context` _(NEW!)_
### Dynamic Dependencies **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 to a whole new level.
Each agent only loads the resources it needs, keeping context windows lean. 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!
### Template System ---
Rich templates for all document types: > **🎉 There are many other exciting changes throughout for you to discover during the alpha BMad Method module!**
- Product Requirements (PRD) ## CIS
- Architecture Documents
- User Stories
- Test Plans
- And more...
### Slash Star Commands The CIS has 5 agents to try out, each with their own workflow! This is a new module that will drastically change over time.
Ask the agent you are using for help with /help (in the web) or \*help in the ide to see what commands are available! - [CIS Readme](./src/modules/cis/readme.md)
## Expansion Packs - Beyond Software Development ### BoMB: BMad Builder
BMAD Method's natural language framework isn't limited to software development. Create specialized agents for ANY domain: #### Agent Docs
### Technical Expansion Packs - [Agent Architecture](src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/agent-architecture)
- [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)
- 🎮 **Game Development** - Game designers, level creators, narrative writers #### Modules
- 🏗️ **Infrastructure/DevOps** - Cloud architects, security specialists, SRE agents
- 📱 **Mobile Development** - iOS/Android specialists, UX designers
- 🔗 **Blockchain/Web3** - Smart contract developers, DeFi architects
### Non-Technical Expansion Packs 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.
- 💼 **Business Strategy** - Strategic planners, market analysts, business coaches - [Module Structure](src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-module/module-structure.md)
- 💪 **Health & Wellness** - Fitness coaches, nutrition advisors, meditation guides
- 🎨 **Creative Arts** - Story writers, world builders, character developers
- 📚 **Education** - Curriculum designers, tutors, learning coaches
- 🧠 **Personal Development** - Life coaches, goal setters, habit builders
- 🏢 **Professional Services** - Legal advisors, medical protocols, research assistants
### Creating Your Own Expansion Pack #### Workflows
The BMAD framework can support any domain where structured AI assistance is valuable: What used to be tasks and create-doc templates are now all workflows! Simpler, yet more powerful and support many ways of achieving many different outcomes! A lot more documentation will be coming. This document is used by the agent builder to generate workflows or convert to workflows, but there is a lot more than what we have documented here in this alpha doc.
1. Define specialized agents with domain expertise - [Workflow Creation Guide](src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/workflow-creation-guide)
2. Create task procedures for common workflows
3. Build templates for domain-specific outputs
4. Package as an expansion pack for others to use

# 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]]
## 1. REQUIREMENTS ALIGNMENT
[[LLM: Before evaluating this section, take a moment to fully understand the product's purpose and goals from the PRD. What is the core problem being solved? Who are the users? What are the critical success factors? Keep these in mind as you validate alignment. For each item, don't just check if it's mentioned - verify that the architecture provides a concrete technical solution.]]
### 1.1 Functional Requirements Coverage
- [ ] Architecture supports all functional requirements in the PRD
- [ ] Technical approaches for all epics and stories are addressed
- [ ] Edge cases and performance scenarios are considered
- [ ] All required integrations are accounted for
- [ ] User journeys are supported by the technical architecture
### 1.2 Non-Functional Requirements Alignment
- [ ] Performance requirements are addressed with specific solutions
- [ ] Scalability considerations are documented with approach
- [ ] Security requirements have corresponding technical controls
- [ ] Reliability and resilience approaches are defined
- [ ] Compliance requirements have technical implementations
### 1.3 Technical Constraints Adherence
- [ ] All technical constraints from PRD are satisfied
- [ ] Platform/language requirements are followed
- [ ] Infrastructure constraints are accommodated
- [ ] Third-party service constraints are addressed
- [ ] Organizational technical standards are followed
## 2. ARCHITECTURE FUNDAMENTALS
[[LLM: Architecture clarity is crucial for successful implementation. As you review this section, visualize the system as if you were explaining it to a new developer. Are there any ambiguities that could lead to misinterpretation? Would an AI agent be able to implement this architecture without confusion? Look for specific diagrams, component definitions, and clear interaction patterns.]]
### 2.1 Architecture Clarity
- [ ] Architecture is documented with clear diagrams
- [ ] Major components and their responsibilities are defined
- [ ] Component interactions and dependencies are mapped
- [ ] Data flows are clearly illustrated
- [ ] Technology choices for each component are specified
### 2.2 Separation of Concerns
- [ ] Clear boundaries between UI, business logic, and data layers
- [ ] Responsibilities are cleanly divided between components
- [ ] Interfaces between components are well-defined
- [ ] Components adhere to single responsibility principle
- [ ] Cross-cutting concerns (logging, auth, etc.) are properly addressed
### 2.3 Design Patterns & Best Practices
- [ ] Appropriate design patterns are employed
- [ ] Industry best practices are followed
- [ ] Anti-patterns are avoided
- [ ] Consistent architectural style throughout
- [ ] Pattern usage is documented and explained
### 2.4 Modularity & Maintainability
- [ ] System is divided into cohesive, loosely-coupled modules
- [ ] Components can be developed and tested independently
- [ ] Changes can be localized to specific components
- [ ] Code organization promotes discoverability
- [ ] Architecture specifically designed for AI agent implementation
## 3. TECHNICAL STACK & DECISIONS
[[LLM: Technology choices have long-term implications. For each technology decision, consider: Is this the simplest solution that could work? Are we over-engineering? Will this scale? What are the maintenance implications? Are there security vulnerabilities in the chosen versions? Verify that specific versions are defined, not ranges.]]
### 3.1 Technology Selection
- [ ] Selected technologies meet all requirements
- [ ] Technology versions are specifically defined (not ranges)
- [ ] Technology choices are justified with clear rationale
- [ ] Alternatives considered are documented with pros/cons

# 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
- Existing project codebase access (CRITICAL - cannot proceed without this)
- Current deployment configuration and infrastructure details
- Database schemas, API documentation, monitoring setup
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
EXECUTION MODE:
Ask the user if they want to work through the checklist:
- Section by section (interactive mode) - Review each section, get confirmation before proceeding

# 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.]]

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

## Core Philosophy
### Vibe CEO'ing
You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to:
- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives
- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality
- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents
### Core Principles
1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate.
2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs.
3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment.
4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process.
5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs.
6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs.
7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand.
8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges.
### Key Workflow Principles
1. **Agent Specialization**: Each agent has specific expertise and responsibilities
2. **Clean Handoffs**: Always start fresh when switching between agents
3. **Status Tracking**: Maintain story statuses (Draft → Approved → InProgress → Done)
4. **Iterative Development**: Complete one story before starting the next
5. **Documentation First**: Always start with solid PRD and architecture

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

# 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.]]

# Brainstorming Techniques Task
This task provides a comprehensive toolkit of creative brainstorming techniques for ideation and innovative thinking. The analyst can use these techniques to facilitate productive brainstorming sessions with users.
## Process
### 1. Session Setup
[[LLM: Begin by understanding the brainstorming context and goals. Ask clarifying questions if needed to determine the best approach.]]
1. **Establish Context**
- Understand the problem space or opportunity area
- Identify any constraints or parameters
- Determine session goals (divergent exploration vs. focused ideation)
2. **Select Technique Approach**
- Option A: User selects specific techniques
- Option B: Analyst recommends techniques based on context
- Option C: Random technique selection for creative variety
- Option D: Progressive technique flow (start broad, narrow down)
### 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**

List 1-3 focused stories that complete the epic:
1. **Story 1:** {{Story title and brief description}}
2. **Story 2:** {{Story title and brief description}}
3. **Story 3:** {{Story title and brief description}}
#### Compatibility Requirements
- [ ] Existing APIs remain unchanged
- [ ] Database schema changes are backward compatible
- [ ] UI changes follow existing patterns
- [ ] Performance impact is minimal
#### Risk Mitigation
- **Primary Risk:** {{main risk to existing system}}
- **Mitigation:** {{how risk will be addressed}}
- **Rollback Plan:** {{how to undo changes if needed}}
#### Definition of Done
- [ ] All stories completed with acceptance criteria met
- [ ] Existing functionality verified through testing
- [ ] Integration points working correctly
- [ ] Documentation updated appropriately
- [ ] No regression in existing features
### 3. Validation Checklist
Before finalizing the epic, ensure:
**Scope Validation:**
- [ ] Epic can be completed in 1-3 stories maximum
- [ ] No architectural documentation is required
- [ ] Enhancement follows existing patterns
- [ ] Integration complexity is manageable
**Risk Assessment:**
- [ ] Risk to existing system is low
- [ ] Rollback plan is feasible
- [ ] Testing approach covers existing functionality
- [ ] Team has sufficient knowledge of integration points
**Completeness Check:**
- [ ] Epic goal is clear and achievable
- [ ] Stories are properly scoped
- [ ] Success criteria are measurable
- [ ] Dependencies are identified
### 4. Handoff to Story Manager
Once the epic is validated, provide this handoff to the Story Manager:
---
**Story Manager Handoff:**
"Please develop detailed user stories for this brownfield epic. Key considerations:
- This is an enhancement to an existing system running {{technology stack}}
- Integration points: {{list key integration points}}
- Existing patterns to follow: {{relevant existing patterns}}
- Critical compatibility requirements: {{key requirements}}
- Each story must include verification that existing functionality remains intact
The epic should maintain system integrity while delivering {{epic goal}}."
---
## Success Criteria
The epic creation is successful when:
1. Enhancement scope is clearly defined and appropriately sized
2. Integration approach respects existing system architecture
3. Risk to existing functionality is minimized
4. Stories are logically sequenced for safe implementation
5. Compatibility requirements are clearly specified
6. Rollback plan is feasible and documented
## Important Notes
- This task is specifically for SMALL brownfield enhancements
- If the scope grows beyond 3 stories, consider the full brownfield PRD process
- Always prioritize existing system integrity over new functionality
- When in doubt about scope or complexity, escalate to full brownfield planning
