-IDE-FILE-RESOLUTION: Dependencies map to files as {root}/{type}/{name}.md where root=".bmad-core", type=folder (tasks/templates/checklists/utils), name=dependency name.
-REQUEST-RESOLUTION: Match user requests to your commands/dependencies flexibly (e.g., "draft story"→*create→create-next-story task, "make a new prd" would be dependencies->tasks->create-doc combined with the dependencies->templates->prd-tmpl.md), or ask for clarification if ambiguous.
-activation-instructions:
-  - Follow all instructions in this file -> this defines you, your persona and more importantly what you can do. STAY IN CHARACTER!
-  - Only read the files/tasks listed here when user selects them for execution to minimize context usage
-  - The customization field ALWAYS takes precedence over any conflicting instructions
-  - When listing tasks/templates or presenting options during conversations, always show as numbered options list, allowing the user to type a number to select or execute

+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.

+### 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.

+# Create Brownfield Story Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+Create detailed, implementation-ready stories for brownfield projects where traditional sharded PRD/architecture documents may not exist. This task bridges the gap between various documentation formats (document-project output, brownfield PRDs, epics, or user documentation) and executable stories for the Dev agent.
+
+## When to Use This Task
+
+**Use this task when:**
+
+- Working on brownfield projects with non-standard documentation
+- Stories need to be created from document-project output
+- Working from brownfield epics without full PRD/architecture
+- Existing project documentation doesn't follow BMAD v4+ structure
+- Need to gather additional context from user during story creation
+
+**Use create-next-story when:**
+
+- Working with properly sharded PRD and v4 architecture documents
+- Following standard greenfield or well-documented brownfield workflow
+- All technical context is available in structured format
+
+## Task Execution Instructions
+
+### 0. Check Workflow Plan and Documentation Context
+
+[[LLM: Check for workflow plan first, then available documentation]]
+
+#### 0.1 Check Workflow Plan
+
+- Load core-config.yaml and check if `workflow.trackProgress: true`
+- If yes, check for active plan at `workflow.planFile`
+- If plan exists:
+  - Verify story creation aligns with current plan step
+  - If out of sequence, warn user (enforce based on config)
+  - Note which step this story creation corresponds to
+
+#### 0.2 Determine Documentation Context
+
+Check for available documentation in this order:
+
+1. **Sharded PRD/Architecture** (docs/prd/, docs/architecture/)
+   - If found, recommend using create-next-story task instead
+
+2. **Brownfield Architecture Document** (docs/brownfield-architecture.md or similar)
+   - Created by document-project task
+   - Contains actual system state, technical debt, workarounds
+
+3. **Brownfield PRD** (docs/prd.md)
+   - May contain embedded technical details
+
+4. **Epic Files** (docs/epics/ or similar)
+   - Created by brownfield-create-epic task
+
+5. **User-Provided Documentation**
+   - Ask user to specify location and format
+
+### 1. Story Identification and Context Gathering
+
+#### 1.1 Identify Story Source
+
+Based on available documentation:
+
+- **From Brownfield PRD**: Extract stories from epic sections
+- **From Epic Files**: Read epic definition and story list
+- **From User Direction**: Ask user which specific enhancement to implement
+- **No Clear Source**: Work with user to define the story scope
+
+#### 1.2 Gather Essential Context
+
+[[LLM: For brownfield stories, you MUST gather enough context for safe implementation. Be prepared to ask the user for missing information.]]
+
+**Required Information Checklist:**
+
+- [ ] What existing functionality might be affected?
+- [ ] What are the integration points with current code?
+- [ ] What patterns should be followed (with examples)?
+- [ ] What technical constraints exist?
+- [ ] Are there any "gotchas" or workarounds to know about?
+
+If any required information is missing, ask the user:
+
+```
+I need additional context for this brownfield story:
+
+Missing Information:
+- [List specific missing items]
+
+Please provide:
+1. [Specific question about integration]
+2. [Specific question about patterns]
+3. [Specific question about constraints]
+
+Or point me to documentation that contains this information.
+```
+
+### 2. Extract Technical Context from Available Sources
+
+#### 2.1 From Document-Project Output
+
+If using brownfield-architecture.md from document-project:
+
+- **Technical Debt Section**: Note any workarounds affecting this story
+- **Key Files Section**: Identify files that will need modification
+- **Integration Points**: Find existing integration patterns
+- **Known Issues**: Check if story touches problematic areas
+- **Actual Tech Stack**: Verify versions and constraints
+
+#### 2.2 From Brownfield PRD
+
+If using brownfield PRD:
+
+- **Technical Constraints Section**: Extract all relevant constraints
+- **Integration Requirements**: Note compatibility requirements
+- **Code Organization**: Follow specified patterns
+- **Risk Assessment**: Understand potential impacts
+
+#### 2.3 From User Documentation
+
+[[LLM: When working with non-BMAD documentation, actively extract and organize the information into categories the Dev agent will need]]
+
+Ask the user to help identify:
+
+- Relevant technical specifications
+- Existing code examples to follow
+- Integration requirements
+- Testing approaches used in the project
+
+### 3. Story Creation with Progressive Detail Gathering
+
+#### 3.1 Create Initial Story Structure
+
+Start with the story template, filling in what's known:
+
+```markdown
+# Story {{Enhancement Title}}
+
+## Status: Draft
+
+## Story
+As a {{user_type}},
+I want {{enhancement_capability}},
+so that {{value_delivered}}.
+
+## Context Source
+[[LLM: Document where story requirements came from]]
+- Source Document: {{document name/type}}
+- Enhancement Type: {{single feature/bug fix/integration/etc}}
+- Existing System Impact: {{brief assessment}}
+```
+
+#### 3.2 Develop Acceptance Criteria
+
+[[LLM: For brownfield, ALWAYS include criteria about maintaining existing functionality]]
+
+Standard structure:
+
+1. New functionality works as specified
+2. Existing {{affected feature}} continues to work unchanged  
+3. Integration with {{existing system}} maintains current behavior
+4. No regression in {{related area}}
+5. Performance remains within acceptable bounds
+
+#### 3.3 Gather Technical Guidance
+
+[[LLM: This is where you'll need to be interactive with the user if information is missing]]
+
+Create Dev Technical Guidance section with available information:
+
+```markdown
+## Dev Technical Guidance
+
+### Existing System Context
+[Extract from available documentation]
+
+### Integration Approach
+[Based on patterns found or ask user]
+
+### Technical Constraints
+[From documentation or user input]
+
+### Missing Information
+[[LLM: List anything you couldn't find that dev will need]]
+- [ ] {{missing item 1}}
+- [ ] {{missing item 2}}
+```
+
+If critical information is missing, pause and ask:
+
+```
+To complete the technical guidance for this story, I need:
+
+1. **{{Missing Category}}**: 
+   - Specifically: {{what you need to know}}
+   - Why needed: {{how it impacts implementation}}
+   
+Can you provide this information or point me to relevant code/docs?
+```
+
+### 4. Task Generation with Safety Checks
+
+#### 4.1 Generate Implementation Tasks
+
+Based on gathered context, create tasks that:
+
+- Include exploration tasks if system understanding is incomplete
+- Add verification tasks for existing functionality
+- Include rollback considerations
+- Reference specific files/patterns when known
+
+Example task structure for brownfield:
+
+```markdown
+## Tasks / Subtasks
+
+- [ ] Task 1: Analyze existing {{component/feature}} implementation
+  - [ ] Review {{specific files}} for current patterns
+  - [ ] Document integration points
+  - [ ] Identify potential impacts
+
+- [ ] Task 2: Implement {{new functionality}}
+  - [ ] Follow pattern from {{example file}}
+  - [ ] Integrate with {{existing component}}
+  - [ ] Maintain compatibility with {{constraint}}
+
+- [ ] Task 3: Verify existing functionality
+  - [ ] Test {{existing feature 1}} still works
+  - [ ] Verify {{integration point}} behavior unchanged
+  - [ ] Check performance impact
+
+- [ ] Task 4: Add tests
+  - [ ] Unit tests following {{project test pattern}}
+  - [ ] Integration test for {{integration point}}
+  - [ ] Update existing tests if needed
+```
+
+### 5. Risk Assessment and Mitigation
+
+[[LLM: CRITICAL for brownfield - always include risk assessment]]
+
+Add section for brownfield-specific risks:
+
+```markdown
+## Risk Assessment
+
+### Implementation Risks

+
+<!-- Source: {{documentation type used}} -->
+<!-- Context: Brownfield enhancement to {{existing system}} -->
+
+## Status: Draft
+[Rest of story content...]
+```
+
+### 8. Handoff Communication
+
+Provide clear handoff to the user:
+
+```text
+Brownfield story created: {{story title}}

+
+Risks Noted:
+- {{primary risk}}
+
+{{If missing info}}: 
+Note: Some technical details were unclear. The story includes exploration tasks to gather needed information during implementation.
+
+Next Steps:
+1. Review story for accuracy
+2. Verify integration approach aligns with your system
+3. Approve story or request adjustments
+4. Dev agent can then implement with safety checks
+```
+
+### 9. Update Workflow Plan (if applicable)
+
+[[LLM: After successful story creation]]
+
+- If workflow plan tracking is enabled and story was created successfully:
+  - Call update-workflow-plan task to mark step complete
+  - Parameters: task: create-brownfield-story, step_id: {from plan check}, status: complete
+  - If plan shows next recommended step, include it in handoff message
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+The brownfield story creation is successful when:
+
+1. Story can be implemented without requiring dev to search multiple documents
+2. Integration approach is clear and safe for existing system
+3. All available technical context has been extracted and organized
+4. Missing information has been identified and addressed
+5. Risks are documented with mitigation strategies
+6. Story includes verification of existing functionality
+7. Rollback approach is defined
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- This task is specifically for brownfield projects with non-standard documentation
+- Always prioritize existing system safety over new features
+- When in doubt, add exploration and verification tasks
+- It's better to ask the user for clarification than make assumptions
+- Each story should be self-contained for the dev agent
+- Include references to existing code patterns when available

+# Create Workflow Plan Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+Guide users through workflow selection and create a detailed plan document that outlines the selected workflow steps, decision points, and expected outputs. This task helps users understand what will happen before starting a complex workflow and provides a checklist to track progress.
+
+## Task Instructions
+
+### 1. Understand User's Goal
+
+[[LLM: Start with discovery questions to understand what the user wants to accomplish]]
+
+Ask the user:
+
+1. **Project Type**:
+   - Are you starting a new project (greenfield) or enhancing an existing one (brownfield)?
+   - What type of application? (web app, service/API, UI only, full-stack)
+
+2. **For Greenfield**:
+   - Do you need a quick prototype or production-ready application?
+   - Will this have a UI component?
+   - Single service or multiple services?
+
+3. **For Brownfield**:
+   - What's the scope of the enhancement?
+     - Single bug fix or small feature (few hours)
+     - Small enhancement (1-3 stories)
+     - Major feature requiring coordination
+     - Architectural changes or modernization
+   - Do you have existing documentation?
+   - Are you following existing patterns or introducing new ones?
+
+### 2. Recommend Appropriate Workflow
+
+Based on the answers, recommend:
+
+**Greenfield Options:**
+
+- `greenfield-fullstack` - Complete web application
+- `greenfield-service` - Backend API/service only
+- `greenfield-ui` - Frontend only
+
+**Brownfield Options:**
+
+- `brownfield-create-story` - Single small change
+- `brownfield-create-epic` - Small feature (1-3 stories)
+- `brownfield-fullstack` - Major enhancement
+
+**Simplified Option:**
+
+- For users unsure or wanting flexibility, suggest starting with individual agent tasks
+
+### 3. Explain Selected Workflow
+
+[[LLM: Once workflow is selected, provide clear explanation]]
+
+For the selected workflow, explain:
+
+1. **Overview**: What this workflow accomplishes
+2. **Duration**: Estimated time for planning phase

+- **Concurrent updates**: Implement simple locking or warn about conflicts
+
+## Notes
+
+- Always preserve plan history (don't delete old information)
+- Keep updates atomic to prevent corruption
+- Consider creating backup before major updates
+- Updates should enhance, not complicate, the workflow experience
+- If plan becomes too cluttered, suggest creating fresh plan for next phase

+# Plan Management Utility
+
+## Purpose
+
+Provides utilities for agents and tasks to interact with workflow plans, check progress, update status, and ensure workflow steps are executed in the appropriate sequence.
+
+## Core Functions
+
+### 1. Check Plan Existence
+
+[[LLM: When any agent starts or task begins, check if a workflow plan exists]]
+
+```
+Check for workflow plan:
+1. Look for docs/workflow-plan.md (default location)
+2. Check core-config.yaml for custom plan location
+3. Return plan status (exists/not exists)
+```
+
+### 2. Parse Plan Status
+
+[[LLM: Extract current progress from the plan document]]
+
+**Plan Parsing Logic:**
+
+1. **Identify Step Structure**:
+   - Look for checkbox lines: `- [ ]` or `- [x]`
+   - Extract step IDs from comments: `<!-- step-id: X.Y -->`
+   - Identify agent assignments: `<!-- agent: pm -->`
+
+2. **Determine Current State**:
+   - Last completed step (highest numbered `[x]`)
+   - Next expected step (first `[ ]` after completed steps)
+   - Overall progress percentage
+
+3. **Extract Metadata**:
+   - Workflow type from plan header
+   - Decision points and their status
+   - Any deviation notes
+
+### 3. Sequence Validation
+
+[[LLM: Check if requested action aligns with plan sequence]]
+
+**Validation Rules:**
+
+1. **Strict Mode** (enforceSequence: true):
+   - Must complete steps in exact order
+   - Warn and block if out of sequence
+   - Require explicit override justification
+
+2. **Flexible Mode** (enforceSequence: false):
+   - Warn about sequence deviation
+   - Allow with confirmation
+   - Log deviation reason
+
+**Warning Templates:**
+
+```
+SEQUENCE WARNING: 
+The workflow plan shows you should complete "{expected_step}" next.
+You're attempting to: "{requested_action}"
+
+In strict mode: Block and require plan update
+In flexible mode: Allow with confirmation
+```
+
+### 4. Plan Update Operations
+
+[[LLM: Provide consistent way to update plan progress]]
+
+**Update Actions:**
+
+1. **Mark Step Complete**:
+   - Change `- [ ]` to `- [x]`
+   - Add completion timestamp comment
+   - Update any status metadata
+
+2. **Add Deviation Note**:
+   - Insert note explaining why sequence changed
+   - Reference the deviation in plan
+
+3. **Update Current Step Pointer**:
+   - Add/move `<!-- current-step -->` marker
+   - Update last-modified timestamp
+
+### 5. Integration Instructions
+
+[[LLM: How agents and tasks should use this utility]]
+
+**For Agents (startup sequence)**:
+
+```
+1. Check if plan exists using this utility
+2. If exists:
+   - Parse current status
+   - Show user: "Active workflow plan detected. Current step: {X}"
+   - Suggest: "Next recommended action: {next_step}"
+3. Continue with normal startup
+```
+
+**For Tasks (pre-execution)**:
+
+```
+1. Check if plan exists
+2. If exists:
+   - Verify this task aligns with plan
+   - If not aligned:
+     - In strict mode: Show warning and stop
+     - In flexible mode: Show warning and ask for confirmation
+3. After task completion:
+   - Update plan if task was a planned step
+   - Add note if task was unplanned
+```
+
+### 6. Plan Status Report Format
+
+[[LLM: Standard format for showing plan status]]
+
+```
+📋 Workflow Plan Status
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+Workflow: {workflow_name}
+Progress: {X}% complete ({completed}/{total} steps)
+
+✅ Completed:
+- {completed_step_1}
+- {completed_step_2}
+
+🔄 Current Step:
+- {current_step_description}
+
+📌 Upcoming:
+- {next_step_1}
+- {next_step_2}
+
+⚠️ Notes:
+- {any_deviations_or_notes}
+```
+
+### 7. Decision Point Handling
+
+[[LLM: Special handling for workflow decision points]]
+
+When encountering a decision point in the plan:
+
+1. **Identify Decision Marker**: `<!-- decision: {decision_id} -->`
+2. **Check Decision Status**: Made/Pending
+3. **If Pending**: 
+   - Block progress until decision made
+   - Show options to user
+   - Record decision when made
+4. **If Made**: 
+   - Verify current path aligns with decision
+   - Warn if attempting alternate path
+
+### 8. Plan Abandonment
+
+[[LLM: Graceful handling when user wants to stop following plan]]
+
+If user wants to abandon plan:
+
+1. Confirm abandonment intent
+2. Add abandonment note to plan
+3. Mark plan as "Abandoned" in header
+4. Stop plan checking for remainder of session
+5. Suggest creating new plan if needed
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Example 1: Agent Startup Check
+
+```
+BMad Master starting...
+
+[Check for plan]
+Found active workflow plan: brownfield-fullstack
+Progress: 40% complete (4/10 steps)
+Current step: Create PRD (pm agent)
+
+Suggestion: Based on your plan, you should work with the PM agent next.
+Use *agent pm to switch, or *plan-status to see full progress.
+```
+
+### Example 2: Task Sequence Warning
+
+```
+User: *task create-next-story
+
+[Plan check triggered]
+⚠️ SEQUENCE WARNING: 
+Your workflow plan indicates the PRD hasn't been created yet.
+Creating stories before the PRD may lead to incomplete requirements.
+
+Would you like to:
+1. Continue anyway (will note deviation in plan)
+2. Switch to creating PRD first (*agent pm)
+3. View plan status (*plan-status)
+```
+
+### Example 3: Automatic Plan Update
+
+```
+[After completing create-doc task for PRD]
+
+✅ Plan Updated: Marked "Create PRD" as complete
+📍 Next step: Create Architecture Document (architect agent)
+```
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+- This utility should be lightweight and fast
+- Plan parsing should be resilient to format variations
+- Always preserve user agency - warnings not blocks (unless strict mode)
+- Plan updates should be atomic to prevent corruption
+- Consider plan versioning for rollback capability
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- Missing plan: Return null, don't error
+- Malformed plan: Warn but continue, treat as no plan
+- Update failures: Log but don't block task completion
+- Parse errors: Fallback to basic text search

-        Planning phase complete! Now transition to IDE Development:
-        
-        1. ENSURE DOCUMENTS ARE IN PROJECT:
-           - Copy final prd.md to project's docs/prd.md
-           - Copy final architecture.md to project's docs/architecture.md
-           - All documents must be in the project before proceeding
-        
-        2. SHARD DOCUMENTS (in IDE):
-           - Option A: Use PO agent to shard: @po then ask to shard docs/prd.md
-           - Option B: Manual: Drag shard-doc task + docs/prd.md into chat
-           - This creates docs/prd/ and docs/architecture/ folders with sharded content
-        
-        3. START DEVELOPMENT CYCLE:
-           a. SM Agent (New Chat): @sm → *create
-              - Creates next story from sharded docs
-              - Review and approve story (Draft → Approved)
-           
-           b. Dev Agent (New Chat): @dev
-              - Implements approved story
-              - Updates File List with all changes
-              - Marks story as "Review" when complete
-           
-           c. QA Agent (New Chat): @qa → review-story
-              - Senior dev review with refactoring ability
-              - Fixes small issues directly
-              - Leaves checklist for remaining items
-              - Updates story status (Review → Done or stays Review)
-           
-           d. If QA left unchecked items:
-              - Dev Agent (New Chat): Address remaining items
-              - Return to QA for final approval
-        
-        4. REPEAT: Continue cycle for all epic stories

 ## Purpose
 
-- Generate documents from any specified template following embedded instructions from the perspective of the selected agent persona
+Generate documents from templates by EXECUTING (not just reading) embedded instructions from the perspective of the selected agent persona.
 
-## Instructions
+## CRITICAL RULES
 
-### 1. Identify Template and Context
+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
 
-- Determine which template to use (user-provided or list available for selection to user)
+## Execution Flow
 
-  - 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:
+### 0. Check Workflow Plan (if configured)
 
-    @{example}
-    dependencies:
-    templates: - prd-tmpl - architecture-tmpl
-    @{/example}
+[[LLM: Check if plan tracking is enabled in core-config.yaml]]
 
-    You would offer to create "PRD" and "Architecture" documents when the user asks what you can help with.
+- If `workflow.trackProgress: true`, check for active plan using utils#plan-management
+- If plan exists and this document creation is part of the plan:

+> 1. **Incremental** - Section by section with reviews
+> 2. **YOLO Mode** - Complete draft then review (user can type `/yolo` anytime to switch)
 
 ### 3. Execute Template
 
-- Load specified template from `templates#*` or the `{root}/templates directory`
-- Follow ALL embedded LLM instructions within the template
-- Process template markup according to `utils#template-format` or `{root}/utils/template-format` conventions

-- Evaluate ^^CONDITION^^ blocks and include only if applicable

+- Execute [[LLM:]] instructions as you encounter them
+- Process <<REPEAT>> loops and ^^CONDITIONS^^

+**When you see:** `[[LLM: Draft X and immediately execute tasks#advanced-elicitation]]`

-  - 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:
+### 0. Check Workflow Plan (if configured)
 
-    @{example}
-    dependencies:
-    templates: - prd-tmpl - architecture-tmpl
-    @{/example}
+[[LLM: Check if plan tracking is enabled in core-config.yaml]]
 
-    You would offer to create "PRD" and "Architecture" documents when the user asks what you can help with.
+- If `workflow.trackProgress: true`, check for active plan using utils#plan-management
+- If plan exists and this document creation is part of the plan:
+  - Verify this is the expected next step
+  - If out of sequence and `enforceSequence: true`, warn user and halt without user override
+  - If out of sequence and `enforceSequence: false`, ask for confirmation
+- Continue with normal execution after plan check
 
-- 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
+### 1. Identify Template
 
-### 2. Determine Interaction Mode
+- Load from `templates#*` or `{root}/templates directory`
+- Agent-specific templates are listed in agent's dependencies

-- **YOLO Mode:** Draft complete document making reasonable assumptions in one shot. (Can be entered also after starting incremental by just typing /yolo)
+> 1. **Incremental** - Section by section with reviews
+> 2. **YOLO Mode** - Complete draft then review (user can type `/yolo` anytime to switch)
 
 ### 3. Execute Template
 
-- Load specified template from `templates#*` or the `{root}/templates directory`
-- Follow ALL embedded LLM instructions within the template
-- Process template markup according to `utils#template-format` or `{root}/utils/template-format` conventions

-- Process `<<REPEAT>>` sections as needed
-- Evaluate ^^CONDITION^^ blocks and include only if applicable
+- 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
 
-### 5. Content Generation
+### 4. Key Execution Patterns
 
-- **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
+**When you see:** `[[LLM: Draft X and immediately execute tasks#advanced-elicitation]]`
 
-### 6. Validation
+- Draft the content
+- Present it to user
+- IMMEDIATELY execute the task
+- Wait for completion before continuing
 
-If template specifies a checklist:
+**When you see:** `[[LLM: After section completion, apply tasks#Y]]`
 
-- Run the appropriate checklist against completed document
-- Document completion status for each item

-- Present validation summary to user
+- Finish the section
+- STOP and execute the task
+- Wait for user input
 
-### 7. Final Presentation
+### 5. Validation & Final Presentation
 
+- Run any specified checklists
 - 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
+- No truncation or summarization
+- Begin directly with content (no preamble)

-## Important Notes
+### 6. Update Workflow Plan (if applicable)
 
-- Template markup is for AI processing only - never expose to users
+[[LLM: After successful document creation]]
+
+- If plan tracking is enabled and document was part of plan:
+  - Call update-workflow-plan task to mark step complete
+  - Parameters: task: create-doc, step_id: {from plan}, status: complete
+  - Show next recommended step from plan
+
+## 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.
