+# BMAD Knowledge Base
+
+## Overview
+
+BMAD-METHOD (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-driven Development) is a framework that combines AI agents with Agile development methodologies. The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role
+- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization
+- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs
+- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists
+- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control
+
+## Core Philosophy
+
+### Vibe CEO'ing
+
+You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to:
+
+- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives
+- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality
+- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents
+
+### Core Principles
+
+1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate.
+2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs.
+3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment.
+4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process.
+5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs.
+6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs.
+7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand.
+8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges.

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

+# Create Expansion Pack Task
+
+This task helps you create a comprehensive BMAD expansion pack that can include new agents, tasks, templates, and checklists for a specific domain.
+
+## Understanding Expansion Packs
+
+Expansion packs extend BMAD with domain-specific capabilities. They are self-contained packages that can be installed into any BMAD project. Every expansion pack MUST include a custom BMAD orchestrator agent that manages the domain-specific workflow.
+
+## CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS
+
+1. **Create Planning Document First**: Before any implementation, create a concise task list for user approval
+2. **Verify All References**: Any task, template, or data file referenced in an agent MUST exist in the pack
+3. **Include Orchestrator**: Every pack needs a custom BMAD-style orchestrator agent
+4. **User Data Requirements**: Clearly specify any files users must provide in their data folder
+
+## Process Overview
+
+### Phase 1: Discovery and Planning
+
+#### 1.1 Define the Domain
+
+Ask the user:
+
+- **Pack Name**: Short identifier (e.g., `healthcare`, `fintech`, `gamedev`)
+- **Display Name**: Full name (e.g., "Healthcare Compliance Pack")
+- **Description**: What domain or industry does this serve?
+- **Key Problems**: What specific challenges will this pack solve?
+- **Target Users**: Who will benefit from this expansion?
+
+#### 1.2 Gather Examples
+
+Request from the user:
+
+- **Sample Documents**: Any existing documents in this domain
+- **Workflow Examples**: How work currently flows in this domain
+- **Compliance Needs**: Any regulatory or standards requirements
+- **Output Examples**: What final deliverables look like
+- **Data Requirements**: What reference data files users will need to provide
+
+#### 1.3 Create Planning Document
+
+IMPORTANT: STOP HERE AND CREATE PLAN FIRST
+
+Create `expansion-packs/{pack-name}/plan.md` with:
+
+```markdown
+# {Pack Name} Expansion Pack Plan
+
+## Overview
+
+- Pack Name: {name}
+- Description: {description}
+- Target Domain: {domain}
+
+## Components to Create
+
+### Agents
+
+- [ ] {pack-name}-orchestrator (REQUIRED: Custom BMAD orchestrator)
+- [ ] {agent-1-name}
+- [ ] {agent-2-name}
+
+### Tasks
+
+- [ ] {task-1} (referenced by: {agent})
+- [ ] {task-2} (referenced by: {agent})
+
+### Templates
+
+- [ ] {template-1} (used by: {agent/task})
+- [ ] {template-2} (used by: {agent/task})
+
+### Checklists
+
+- [ ] {checklist-1}
+- [ ] {checklist-2}
+
+### Data Files Required from User
+
+- [ ] {filename}.{ext} - {description of content needed}
+- [ ] {filename2}.{ext} - {description of content needed}
+
+## Approval
+
+User approval received: [ ] Yes
+```
+
+Important: Wait for user approval before proceeding to Phase 2
+
+### Phase 2: Component Design
+
+#### 2.1 Create Orchestrator Agent
+
+**FIRST PRIORITY**: Design the custom BMAD orchestrator:
+
+- **Name**: `{pack-name}-orchestrator`
+- **Purpose**: Master coordinator for domain-specific workflow
+- **Key Commands**: Domain-specific orchestration commands
+- **Integration**: How it leverages other pack agents
+- **Workflow**: The complete process it manages
+
+#### 2.2 Identify Specialist Agents
+
+For each additional agent:
+
+- **Role**: What specialist is needed?
+- **Expertise**: Domain-specific knowledge required
+- **Interactions**: How they work with orchestrator and BMAD agents
+- **Unique Value**: What can't existing agents handle?
+- **Required Tasks**: List ALL tasks this agent references
+- **Required Templates**: List ALL templates this agent uses
+- **Required Data**: List ALL data files this agent needs
+
+#### 2.3 Design Specialized Tasks
+
+For each task:
+
+- **Purpose**: What specific action does it enable?
+- **Inputs**: What information is needed?
+- **Process**: Step-by-step instructions
+- **Outputs**: What gets produced?
+- **Agent Usage**: Which agents will use this task?
+
+#### 2.4 Create Document Templates
+
+For each template:
+
+- **Document Type**: What kind of document?
+- **Structure**: Sections and organization
+- **Placeholders**: Variable content areas
+- **Instructions**: How to complete each section
+- **Standards**: Any format requirements
+
+#### 2.5 Define Checklists
+
+For each checklist:
+
+- **Purpose**: What quality aspect does it verify?
+- **Scope**: When should it be used?
+- **Items**: Specific things to check
+- **Criteria**: Pass/fail conditions
+
+### Phase 3: Implementation
+
+IMPORTANT: Only proceed after plan.md is approved
+
+#### 3.1 Create Directory Structure
+
+```text

+  To use: npm run agent {pack-name}-orchestrator
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Content Creation
+
+IMPORTANT: Work through plan.md checklist systematically!
+
+#### 4.1 Create Orchestrator First
+
+1. Create `personas/{pack-name}-orchestrator.md` with BMAD-style commands
+2. Create `agents/{pack-name}-orchestrator.yml` configuration
+3. Create `ide-agents/{pack-name}-orchestrator.ide.md`
+4. Verify ALL referenced tasks exist
+5. Verify ALL referenced templates exist
+6. Document data file requirements
+
+#### 4.2 Agent Creation Order
+
+For each additional agent:
+
+1. Create persona file with domain expertise
+2. Create agent configuration YAML
+3. Create IDE-optimized version
+4. **STOP** - Verify all referenced tasks/templates exist
+5. Create any missing tasks/templates immediately
+6. Mark agent as complete in plan.md
+
+#### 4.3 Task Creation Guidelines
+
+Each task should:
+
+1. Have a clear, single purpose
+2. Include step-by-step instructions
+3. Provide examples when helpful
+4. Reference domain standards
+5. Be reusable across agents
+
+#### 4.4 Template Best Practices
+
+Templates should:
+
+1. Include clear section headers
+2. Provide inline instructions
+3. Show example content
+4. Mark required vs optional sections
+5. Include domain-specific terminology
+
+### Phase 5: Verification and Documentation
+
+#### 5.1 Final Verification Checklist
+
+Before declaring complete:
+
+1. [ ] All items in plan.md marked complete
+2. [ ] Orchestrator agent created and tested
+3. [ ] All agent references validated
+4. [ ] All required data files documented
+5. [ ] manifest.yml lists all components
+6. [ ] No orphaned tasks or templates
+
+#### 5.2 Create README
+
+Include:
+
+- Overview of the pack's purpose
+- **Orchestrator usage instructions**
+- Required data files and formats
+- List of all components
+- Integration with BMAD workflow
+- Example scenarios
+
+#### 5.3 Data File Documentation
+
+For each required data file:
+
+```markdown

+## Interactive Questions Flow
+
+### Initial Discovery
+
+1. "What domain or industry will this expansion pack serve?"
+2. "What are the main challenges or workflows in this domain?"
+3. "Do you have any example documents or outputs? (Please share)"
+4. "What specialized roles/experts exist in this domain?"
+5. "What reference data will users need to provide?"
+
+### Planning Phase
+
+1. "Here's the proposed plan. Please review and approve before we continue."
+
+### Orchestrator Design
+
+1. "What key commands should the {pack-name} orchestrator support?"
+2. "What's the typical workflow from start to finish?"
+3. "How should it integrate with core BMAD agents?"
+
+### Agent Planning
+
+1. "For agent '{name}', what is their specific expertise?"
+2. "What tasks will this agent reference? (I'll create them)"
+3. "What templates will this agent use? (I'll create them)"
+4. "What data files will this agent need? (You'll provide these)"
+
+### Task Design
+
+1. "Describe the '{task}' process step-by-step"
+2. "What information is needed to complete this task?"
+3. "What should the output look like?"
+
+### Template Creation
+
+1. "What sections should the '{template}' document have?"
+2. "Are there any required formats or standards?"
+3. "Can you provide an example of a completed document?"
+
+### Data Requirements
+
+1. "For {data-file}, what information should it contain?"
+2. "What format should this data be in?"
+3. "Can you provide a sample?"
+
+## Important Considerations
+
+- **Plan First**: ALWAYS create and get approval for plan.md before implementing
+- **Orchestrator Required**: Every pack MUST have a custom BMAD orchestrator
+- **Verify References**: ALL referenced tasks/templates MUST exist
+- **Document Data Needs**: Clearly specify what users must provide
+- **Domain Expertise**: Ensure accuracy in specialized fields
+- **Compliance**: Include necessary regulatory requirements
+
+## Tips for Success
+
+1. **Plan Thoroughly**: The plan.md prevents missing components
+2. **Build Orchestrator First**: It defines the overall workflow
+3. **Verify As You Go**: Check off items in plan.md
+4. **Test References**: Ensure no broken dependencies
+5. **Document Data**: Users need clear data file instructions
+
+## Common Mistakes to Avoid
+
+1. **Missing Orchestrator**: Every pack needs its own BMAD-style orchestrator
+2. **Orphaned References**: Agent references task that doesn't exist
+3. **Unclear Data Needs**: Not specifying required user data files
+4. **Skipping Plan**: Going straight to implementation
+5. **Generic Orchestrator**: Not making it domain-specific
+
+## Completion Checklist
+
+- [ ] plan.md created and approved
+- [ ] All plan.md items checked off
+- [ ] Orchestrator agent created
+- [ ] All agent references verified
+- [ ] Data requirements documented or added
+- [ ] README includes all setup instructions

-- If the file does not exist:
-  - HALT and inform the user: "core-config.yml not found. This file is required for story creation. You can:
-    1. Copy it from GITHUB BMAD-METHOD/bmad-core/core-config.yml and configure it for your project
-    2. Run the BMAD installer against your project to upgrade and add the file automatically
-    Please add and configure core-config.yml before proceeding."
-- Extract the following key configurations:
-  - `devStoryLocation`: Where to save story files
-  - `prd.prdSharded`: Whether PRD is sharded or monolithic
-  - `prd.prdFile`: Location of monolithic PRD (if not sharded)
-  - `prd.prdShardedLocation`: Location of sharded epic files
-  - `prd.epicFilePattern`: Pattern for epic files (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`)
-  - `architecture.architectureVersion`: Architecture document version
-  - `architecture.architectureSharded`: Whether architecture is sharded
-  - `architecture.architectureFile`: Location of monolithic architecture
-  - `architecture.architectureShardedLocation`: Location of sharded architecture files
-
 ### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation
 
 #### 1.1 Locate Epic Files
 
-- Based on `prdSharded` from config:
-  - **If `prdSharded: true`**: Look for epic files in `prdShardedLocation` using `epicFilePattern`
-  - **If `prdSharded: false`**: Load the full PRD from `prdFile` and extract epics from section headings (## Epic N or ### Epic N)
+- First, determine where epic files are located:
+  - Check `docs/prd/` for files matching pattern `epic-{n}-*.md`
+  - If not found, check `docs/epics/` for files matching pattern `epic-{n}-*.md`
+  - If still not found, ask user: "Unable to locate epic files. Please specify the path where epic files are stored."
+- Note: Epic files follow naming convention `epic-{n}-{description}.md` (e.g., `epic-1-foundation-core-infrastructure.md`)
 
 #### 1.2 Review Existing Stories
 
-- Check `devStoryLocation` from config (e.g., `docs/stories/`) for existing story files
-- If the directory exists and has at least 1 file, find the highest-numbered story file.
+- Review `docs/stories/` to find the highest-numbered story file.

+# Create Team Task
+
+This task guides you through creating a new BMAD agent team that conforms to the agent-team schema and effectively combines agents for specific project types.
+
+**Note for User-Created Teams**: If creating a custom team for your own use (not part of the core BMAD system), prefix the team name with a period (e.g., `.team-frontend`) to ensure it's gitignored and won't conflict with repository updates.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. Load and understand the team schema: `/bmad-core/schemas/agent-team-schema.yml`
+2. Review existing teams in `/bmad-core/agent-teams/` for patterns and naming conventions
+3. List available agents from `/agents/` to understand team composition options
+4. Review workflows in `/bmad-core/workflows/` to align team capabilities
+
+## Process
+
+### 1. Define Team Purpose and Scope
+
+Before selecting agents, clarify the team's mission:
+
+- **Team Purpose**: What specific problems will this team solve?
+- **Project Types**: Greenfield, brownfield, or both?
+- **Technical Scope**: UI-focused, backend-only, or full-stack?
+- **Team Size Consideration**: Smaller teams (3-5 agents) for focused work, larger teams (6-8) for comprehensive coverage
+
+### 2. Create Team Metadata
+
+Based on the schema requirements:
+
+- **Team Name**: Must follow pattern `^Team .+$` (e.g., "Team Frontend", "Team Analytics")
+  - For user teams: prefix with period (e.g., "Team .MyCustom")
+- **Description**: 20-500 characters explaining team's purpose, capabilities, and use cases
+- **File Name**: `/bmad-core/agent-teams/team-{identifier}.yml`
+  - For user teams: `/bmad-core/agent-teams/.team-{identifier}.yml`
+
+### 3. Select Agents Based on Purpose
+
+#### Discover Available Agents
+
+1. List all agents from `/agents/` directory
+2. Review each agent's role and capabilities
+3. Consider agent synergies and coverage
+
+#### Agent Selection Guidelines
+
+Based on team purpose, recommend agents:
+
+**For Planning & Strategy Teams:**
+
+- `bmad` (required orchestrator)
+- `analyst` - Requirements gathering and research
+- `pm` - Product strategy and documentation
+- `po` - Validation and approval
+- `architect` - Technical planning (if technical planning needed)
+
+**For Design & UX Teams:**
+
+- `bmad` (required orchestrator)
+- `ux-expert` - User experience design
+- `architect` - Frontend architecture
+- `pm` - Product requirements alignment
+- `po` - Design validation
+
+**For Development Teams:**
+
+- `bmad-orchestrator` (required)
+- `sm` - Sprint coordination
+- `dev` - Implementation
+- `qa` - Quality assurance
+- `architect` - Technical guidance
+
+**For Full-Stack Teams:**
+
+- `bmad-orchestrator` (required)
+- `analyst` - Initial planning
+- `pm` - Product management
+- `ux-expert` - UI/UX design (if UI work included)
+- `architect` - System architecture
+- `po` - Validation
+- Additional agents as needed
+
+#### Special Cases
+
+- **Using Wildcard**: If team needs all agents, use `["bmad", "*"]`
+- **Validation**: Schema requires `bmad` in all teams
+
+### 4. Select Workflows
+
+Based on the schema's workflow enum values and team composition:
+
+1. **Analyze team capabilities** against available workflows:
+
+   - `brownfield-fullstack` - Requires full team with UX
+   - `brownfield-service` - Backend-focused team
+   - `brownfield-ui` - UI/UX-focused team
+   - `greenfield-fullstack` - Full team for new projects
+   - `greenfield-service` - Backend team for new services
+   - `greenfield-ui` - Frontend team for new UIs
+
+2. **Match workflows to agents**:
+
+   - UI workflows require `ux-expert`
+   - Service workflows benefit from `architect` and `dev`
+   - All workflows benefit from planning agents (`analyst`, `pm`)
+
+3. **Apply schema validation rules**:
+   - Teams without `ux-expert` shouldn't have UI workflows
+   - Teams named "Team No UI" can't have UI workflows
+
+### 5. Create Team Configuration
+
+Generate the configuration following the schema:
+
+```yaml
+bundle:
+  name: "{Team Name}" # Must match pattern "^Team .+$"
+  description: >-
+    {20-500 character description explaining purpose,
+    capabilities, and ideal use cases}
+
+agents:
+  - bmad # Required orchestrator
+  - { agent-id-1 }
+  - { agent-id-2 }
+  # ... additional agents
+
+workflows:
+  - { workflow-1 } # From enum list
+  - { workflow-2 }
+  # ... additional workflows
+```
+
+### 6. Validate Team Composition
+
+Before finalizing, verify:
+
+1. **Role Coverage**: Does the team have all necessary skills for its workflows?
+2. **Size Optimization**:
+   - Minimum: 2 agents (bmad + 1)
+   - Recommended: 3-7 agents
+   - Maximum with wildcard: bmad + "\*"
+3. **Workflow Alignment**: Can the selected agents execute all workflows?
+4. **Schema Compliance**: Configuration matches all schema requirements
+
+### 7. Integration Recommendations
+
+Document how this team integrates with existing system:
+
+1. **Complementary Teams**: Which existing teams complement this one?
+2. **Handoff Points**: Where does this team hand off to others?
+3. **Use Case Scenarios**: Specific project types ideal for this team
+
+### 8. Validation and Testing
+
+1. **Schema Validation**: Ensure configuration matches agent-team-schema.yml
+2. **Build Validation**: Run `npm run validate`
+3. **Build Team**: Run `npm run build:team -t {team-name}`
+4. **Size Check**: Verify output is appropriate for target platform
+5. **Test Scenarios**: Run sample workflows with the team

+## Team Creation Checklist
+
+- [ ] Team purpose clearly defined
+- [ ] Name follows schema pattern "Team {Name}"
+- [ ] Description is 20-500 characters
+- [ ] Includes bmad orchestrator
+- [ ] Agents align with team purpose
+- [ ] Workflows match team capabilities
+- [ ] No conflicting validations (e.g., no-UI team with UI workflows)
+- [ ] Configuration validates against schema
+- [ ] Build completes successfully
+- [ ] Output size appropriate for platform
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Start Focused**: Create teams with specific purposes rather than general-purpose teams
+2. **Consider Workflow**: Order agents by typical workflow sequence
+3. **Avoid Redundancy**: Don't duplicate roles unless needed
+4. **Document Rationale**: Explain why each agent is included
+5. **Test Integration**: Verify team works well with selected workflows
+6. **Iterate**: Refine team composition based on usage
+
+This schema-driven approach ensures teams are well-structured, purposeful, and integrate seamlessly with the BMAD ecosystem.

+# Document Migration Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+Migrate BMAD-METHOD documents to match V4 template structure exactly, preserving all content while enforcing strict template compliance.
+
+## Task Requirements
+
+1. **Input**: User MUST specify the document to migrate (e.g., `docs/prd.md`)
+2. **Template**: User MUST specify the V4 template to use (e.g., `.bmad-core/templates/prd-tmpl.md`)
+3. **Validation**: Verify document and template are compatible types
+4. **Output**: Creates migrated document with original name, backs up original with `.bak` extension
+
+[[LLM: VALIDATION REQUIREMENTS:
+
+- Both input document and template paths MUST be provided by the user
+- Do NOT assume or select templates automatically
+- Validate that document type matches template type (e.g., PRD → PRD template)
+- Reject incompatible migrations (e.g., PRD → architecture template)
+
+]]
+
+## Migration Rules
+
+### Strict Template Compliance
+
+[[LLM: CRITICAL RULES:
+
+1. The ONLY Level 2 headings (##) allowed are EXACTLY those in the V4 template
+2. No additions, no removals, no modifications to Level 2 headings
+3. All user content must be preserved and placed under appropriate template sections
+4. Remove any existing table of contents
+5. Never delete user content - find the most appropriate section
+6. DO NOT add any LLM prompts, placeholders, or "TBD" content
+7. Leave empty sections empty - no instructions or guidance text
+
+]]
+
+### Content Migration Process
+
+1. **Read Template Structure**
+
+   - Extract all Level 2 headings from the V4 template
+   - These are the ONLY Level 2 headings allowed in the final document
+
+2. **Analyze Original Document**
+
+   - Identify all content blocks
+   - Note original section organization
+   - Flag any custom sections
+
+3. **Create Backup First**
+
+   - Rename original file: `mv filename.md filename.md.bak`
+   - This preserves the original completely
+
+4. **Create New File**
+
+   - Create new `filename.md` from scratch
+   - Start with template structure (all Level 2 headings)
+   - For each content block from original:
+     - Find the most appropriate V4 template section
+     - If original had Level 2 heading not in template, demote to Level 3
+     - Preserve all text, lists, code blocks, diagrams, tables
+     - Remove only table of contents sections
+   - **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT add any LLM prompts, placeholders, or instructions
+   - If a template section has no matching content, leave it empty
+
+5. **Validate Content Preservation**
+   - For each major content block from original (excluding headings):
+     - Use grep or search to verify it exists in new file
+     - Report any content that couldn't be verified
+   - This ensures no accidental content loss
+
+## Example Migration
+
+```markdown
+Original (prd.md):
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+[content...]
+
+## Custom Feature Section
+
+[content...]
+
+## Table of Contents
+
+[toc...]
+
+Template (prd-tmpl.md):
+
+## Goals and Background Context
+
+## Functional Requirements
+
+## Success Metrics and KPIs
+
+Result (prd.md):
+
+## Goals and Background Context
+
+[executive summary content moved here]
+
+### Custom Feature Section
+
+[content preserved but demoted to Level 3]
+
+## Functional Requirements
+
+## Success Metrics and KPIs
+```
+
+## Execution Instructions
+
+[[LLM: When executing this task:
+
+1. Ask user for BOTH: input file path AND template path (do not assume)
+2. Validate compatibility:
+   - Check document title/type (PRD, Architecture, etc.)
+   - Ensure template matches document type
+   - REJECT if types don't match (e.g., "Cannot migrate PRD to architecture template")
+3. Read both files completely
+4. Rename original to .bak: `mv original.md original.md.bak`
+5. Extract Level 2 headings from template - these are MANDATORY
+6. Create NEW file with original name
+7. Build new content:
+   - Start with all template Level 2 sections
+   - Map original content to appropriate sections
+   - Demote any non-template Level 2 headings to Level 3
+   - Leave empty sections empty (no placeholders or instructions)
+8. Validate content preservation:
+   - Extract key content snippets from .bak file
+   - Use grep to verify each exists in new file
+   - Report any missing content
+9. Report migration summary:
+   - Sections moved/demoted
+   - Content validation results
+   - Any manual review needed
+
+]]
+
+### Document Type Detection
+
+[[LLM: Detect document type by examining:
+
+- File name (prd.md, architecture.md, etc.)
+- Main title (# Product Requirements Document, # Architecture, etc.)
+- Content patterns (user stories → PRD, technology stack → Architecture)
+
+Template compatibility:
+
+- prd-tmpl.md → Only for PRD documents
+- architecture-tmpl.md → Only for backend/single architecture
+- full-stack-architecture-tmpl.md → Only for architecture documents (can merge multiple)
+
+]]
+
+## Common Migrations
+
+Valid migrations:
+
+- `prd.md` → `.bmad-core/templates/prd-tmpl.md`
+- `architecture.md` → `.bmad-core/templates/architecture-tmpl.md`
+- `architecture.md` + `front-end-architecture.md` → `.bmad-core/templates/full-stack-architecture-tmpl.md`
+
+Invalid migrations (MUST REJECT):
+
+- `prd.md` → `.bmad-core/templates/architecture-tmpl.md`
+- `architecture.md` → `.bmad-core/templates/prd-tmpl.md`
+- `ux-ui-spec.md` → `.bmad-core/templates/prd-tmpl.md`
+
+## Validation
+
+After migration verify:
+
+- [ ] All Level 2 headings match template exactly
+- [ ] All original content is preserved (use grep validation)
+- [ ] No table of contents remains
+- [ ] Backup file exists with .bak extension
+- [ ] Custom sections demoted to Level 3 or lower
+
+### Content Validation Example
+
+[[LLM: Example validation approach:
+
+1. Extract significant text blocks from .bak file (>20 words)
+2. For each block, grep in new file:
+   ```bash
+   grep -F "first 10-15 words of content block" newfile.md
+   ```
+3. Track validation results:
+   - ✓ Found: content successfully migrated
+   - ✗ Missing: needs investigation
+4. Report any content that couldn't be found

+# Create AI Frontend Prompt Task
+
+## Purpose
+
+To generate a masterful, comprehensive, and optimized prompt that can be used with AI-driven frontend development tools (e.g., Lovable, Vercel v0, or similar) to scaffold or generate significant portions of the frontend application.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- Completed UI/UX Specification (`front-end-spec-tmpl`)
+- Completed Frontend Architecture Document (`front-end-architecture`)
+- Main System Architecture Document (`architecture` - for API contracts and tech stack)
+- Primary Design Files (Figma, Sketch, etc. - for visual context if the tool can accept it or if descriptions are needed)
+
+## Key Activities & Instructions
+
+1. **Confirm Target AI Generation Platform:**
+
+   - Ask the user to specify which AI frontend generation tool/platform they intend to use (e.g., "Lovable.ai", "Vercel v0", "GPT-4 with direct code generation instructions", etc.).
+   - Explain that prompt optimization might differ slightly based on the platform's capabilities and preferred input format.
+
+2. **Synthesize Inputs into a Structured Prompt:**
+
+   - **Overall Project Context:**
+     - Briefly state the project's purpose (from brief/PRD).
+     - Specify the chosen frontend framework, core libraries, and UI component library (from `front-end-architecture` and main `architecture`).
+     - Mention the styling approach (e.g., Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules).
+   - **Design System & Visuals:**
+     - Reference the primary design files (e.g., Figma link).
+     - If the tool doesn't directly ingest design files, describe the overall visual style, color palette, typography, and key branding elements (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`).
+     - List any global UI components or design tokens that should be defined or adhered to.
+   - **Application Structure & Routing:**
+     - Describe the main pages/views and their routes (from `front-end-architecture` - Routing Strategy).
+     - Outline the navigation structure (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`).
+   - **Key User Flows & Page-Level Interactions:**
+     - For a few critical user flows (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`):
+       - Describe the sequence of user actions and expected UI changes on each relevant page.
+       - Specify API calls to be made (referencing API endpoints from the main `architecture`) and how data should be displayed or used.
+   - **Component Generation Instructions (Iterative or Key Components):**
+     - Based on the chosen AI tool's capabilities, decide on a strategy:
+       - **Option 1 (Scaffolding):** Prompt for the generation of main page structures, layouts, and placeholders for components.
+       - **Option 2 (Key Component Generation):** Select a few critical or complex components from the `front-end-architecture` (Component Breakdown) and provide detailed specifications for them (props, state, basic behavior, key UI elements).
+       - **Option 3 (Holistic, if tool supports):** Attempt to describe the entire application structure and key components more broadly.
+     - <important_note>Advise the user that generating an entire complex application perfectly in one go is rare. Iterative prompting or focusing on sections/key components is often more effective.</important_note>
+   - **State Management (High-Level Pointers):**
+     - Mention the chosen state management solution (e.g., "Use Redux Toolkit").
+     - For key pieces of data, indicate if they should be managed in global state.
+   - **API Integration Points:**
+     - For pages/components that fetch or submit data, clearly state the relevant API endpoints (from `architecture`) and the expected data shapes (can reference schemas in `data-models` or `api-reference` sections of the architecture doc).
+   - **Critical "Don'ts" or Constraints:**
+     - e.g., "Do not use deprecated libraries." "Ensure all forms have basic client-side validation."
+   - **Platform-Specific Optimizations:**
+     - If the chosen AI tool has known best practices for prompting (e.g., specific keywords, structure, level of detail), incorporate them. (This might require the agent to have some general knowledge or to ask the user if they know any such specific prompt modifiers for their chosen tool).
+
+3. **Present and Refine the Master Prompt:**
+   - Output the generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block).
+   - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included.
+   - Work with the user to refine the prompt based on their knowledge of the target AI tool and any specific nuances they want to emphasize.
+   - <important_note>Remind the user that the generated code from the AI tool will likely require review, testing, and further refinement by developers.</important_note>

+# Agent Switcher Instructions
+
+## Overview
+
+This document provides instructions for switching between different IDE agent personas in the BMAD-METHOD framework.
+
+## Behavior
+
+### Listing Available Agents
+
+When no agent name is provided:
+
+1. Read the `bmad-core/ide-agents/` directory
+2. Look for files matching the pattern `*.ide.md`
+3. Extract agent names from filenames (the part before `.ide.md`)
+4. Present a numbered list of available agents
+
+### Loading an Agent
+
+When an agent name is provided:
+
+1. Attempt to load `bmad-core/ide-agents/{agent-name}.ide.md`
+2. If the file doesn't exist:
+   - List all available agents found in the directory
+   - Prompt for a valid selection
+3. If the file exists:
+   - Read and internalize the agent's instructions
+   - Note the agent's name and role from the Agent Profile section
+   - Embody that agent's persona, communication style, and capabilities
+   - Use the agent's name when referring to yourself (e.g., "I'm John, the Product Manager")
+   - Follow the agent's specific workflows and constraints
+
+### Active Agent Behavior
+
+When successfully operating as an IDE agent:
+
+- Strictly follow the agent's defined capabilities and limitations
+- Only execute commands that the agent supports (typically prefixed with `*`)
+- Maintain the agent identity and context until switched or exited
+- If asked to perform tasks outside the agent's scope:
+  - Inform the user of the limitation
+  - Suggest the appropriate agent for that task
+
+### Exiting Agent Mode
+
+When exiting agent mode:
+
+- Immediately exit the current agent persona
+- Return to standard assistant capabilities
+- Clear any agent-specific context or workflows
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+- Each agent maintains its own context and workflow state
+- Switching agents clears the previous agent's context
+- Agents are self-contained - no need to read additional files
+- The system automatically adapts as agents are added or removed
+
+## Example Interactions
+
+### Example Listing Agents
+
+```text
+User: [requests agent list]
+Agent: Available IDE agents:
+1. architect
+2. dev
+3. devops
+4. pm
+5. po
+6. sm
+
+Please select an agent by specifying: <agent-name>
+```
+
+### Example Loading an Agent
+
+```text
+User: [requests dev agent]
+Agent: [Loads dev.ide.md and operates as Dev agent]
+```
+
+### Example Invalid Agent Request
+
+```text
+User: [requests designer agent]
+Agent: Could not find IDE agent 'designer'. Available agents:
+1. architect
+2. dev
+3. devops
+4. pm
+5. po
+6. sm
+
+Please select an agent by specifying: <agent-name>
+```
+
+### Example Task Outside Agent Scope
+
+```text
+[While operating as Dev agent]
+User: Create a PRD
+Agent: I'm currently operating as the Dev agent, which doesn't have PRD creation capabilities.
+The PM agent can create PRDs. Would you like me to switch to the PM agent?
+```
+
+### Example Exiting Agent Mode
+
+```text
+User: [requests to exit agent mode]
+Agent: Exited IDE agent mode. Returned to standard assistant capabilities.

+# Workflow Management
+
+This utility enables the BMAD orchestrator to manage and execute team workflows.
+
+## Important: Dynamic Workflow Loading
+
+The BMAD orchestrator MUST read the available workflows from the current team configuration's `workflows` field. Do not use hardcoded workflow lists. Each team bundle defines its own set of supported workflows based on the agents it includes.
+
+**Critical Distinction**:
+
+- When asked "what workflows are available?", show ONLY the workflows defined in the current team bundle's configuration
+- The create-\* tasks (create-agent, create-team, etc.) are for CREATING new configurations, not for listing what's available in the current session
+- Use `/agent-list` to show agents in the current bundle, NOT the create-agent task
+- Use `/workflows` to show workflows in the current bundle, NOT any creation tasks
+
+### Workflow Descriptions
+
+When displaying workflows, use these descriptions based on the workflow ID:
+
+- **greenfield-fullstack**: Build a new full-stack application from concept to development
+- **brownfield-fullstack**: Enhance an existing full-stack application with new features
+- **greenfield-service**: Build a new backend service or API from concept to development
+- **brownfield-service**: Enhance an existing backend service or API
+- **greenfield-ui**: Build a new frontend/UI application from concept to development
+- **brownfield-ui**: Enhance an existing frontend/UI application
+
+## Workflow Commands
+
+### /workflows
+
+Lists all available workflows for the current team. The available workflows are determined by the team configuration and may include workflows such as:
+
+- greenfield-fullstack
+- brownfield-fullstack
+- greenfield-service
+- brownfield-service
+- greenfield-ui
+- brownfield-ui
+
+The actual list depends on which team bundle is loaded. When responding to this command, display the workflows that are configured in the current team's `workflows` field.
+
+Example response format:
+
+```text
+Available workflows for [Team Name]:
+1. [workflow-id] - [Brief description based on workflow type]
+2. [workflow-id] - [Brief description based on workflow type]
+[... etc. ...]
+
+Use /workflow-start {number or id} to begin a workflow.
+```
+
+### /workflow-start {workflow-id}
+
+Starts a specific workflow and transitions to the first agent.
+
+Example: `/workflow-start greenfield-fullstack`
+
+### /workflow-status
+
+Shows current workflow progress, completed artifacts, and next steps.
+
+Example response:
+
+```text
+Current Workflow: Greenfield Full-Stack Development
+Stage: Product Planning (2 of 6)
+Completed:
+  ✓ Discovery & Requirements
+    - project-brief (completed by Mary)
+
+In Progress:
+  ⚡ Product Planning
+    - Create PRD (John) - awaiting input
+
+Next: Technical Architecture
+```
+
+### /workflow-resume
+
+Resumes a workflow from where it left off, useful when starting a new chat.
+
+User can provide completed artifacts:
+
+```text
+User: /workflow-resume greenfield-fullstack
+      I have completed: project-brief, PRD
+BMad: I see you've completed Discovery and part of Product Planning.
+      Based on the greenfield-fullstack workflow, the next step is:
+      - UX Strategy with Sally (ux-expert)
+
+      Would you like me to load Sally to continue?
+```
+
+### /workflow-next
+
+Shows the next recommended agent and action in the current workflow.
+
+## Workflow Execution Flow
+
+### 1. Starting a Workflow
+
+When a workflow is started:
+
+1. Load the workflow definition
+2. Identify the first stage and step
+3. Transition to the required agent
+4. Provide context about expected inputs/outputs
+5. Guide artifact creation
+
+### 2. Stage Transitions
+
+After each artifact is completed:
+
+1. Mark the step as complete
+2. Check transition conditions
+3. If stage is complete, move to next stage
+4. Load the appropriate agent
+5. Pass relevant artifacts as context
+
+### 3. Artifact Tracking
+
+Track all created artifacts:
+
+```yaml
+workflow_state:
+  current_workflow: greenfield-fullstack
+  current_stage: planning
+  current_step: 2
+  artifacts:
+    project-brief:
+      status: completed
+      created_by: analyst
+      timestamp: 2024-01-15T10:30:00Z
+    prd:
+      status: in-progress
+      created_by: pm
+      started: 2024-01-15T11:00:00Z
+```
+
+### 4. Workflow Interruption Handling
+
+When user returns after interruption:
+
+1. Ask if continuing previous workflow
+2. Request any completed artifacts
+3. Analyze provided artifacts
+4. Determine workflow position
+5. Suggest next appropriate step
+
+Example:
+
+```text
+User: I'm working on a new app. Here's my PRD and architecture doc.
+BMad: I see you have a PRD and architecture document. Based on these artifacts,
+      it looks like you're following the greenfield-fullstack workflow and have completed
+      stages 1-3. The next recommended step would be:
+
+      Stage 4: Validation & Refinement
+      - Load Sarah (Product Owner) to validate all artifacts
+
+      Would you like to continue with this workflow?
+```
+
+## Workflow Context Passing
+
+When transitioning between agents, pass:
+
+1. Previous artifacts created
+2. Current workflow stage
+3. Expected outputs
+4. Any decisions or constraints identified
+
+Example transition:
+
+```text
+BMad: Great! John has completed the PRD. According to the greenfield-fullstack workflow,
+      the next step is UX Strategy with Sally.
+
+      /ux-expert
+
+Sally: I see we're in the Product Planning stage of the greenfield-fullstack workflow.
+       I have access to:
+       - Project Brief from Mary
+       - PRD from John
+
+       Let's create the UX strategy and UI specifications. First, let me review
+       the PRD to understand the features we're designing for...
+```
+
+## Multi-Path Workflows
+
+Some workflows may have multiple paths:
+
+```yaml
+conditional_paths:
+  - condition: "project_type == 'mobile'"
+    next_stage: mobile-specific-design
+  - condition: "project_type == 'web'"
+    next_stage: web-architecture
+  - default: fullstack-architecture
+```
+
+Handle these by asking clarifying questions when needed.
+
+## Workflow Best Practices
+
+1. **Always show progress** - Users should know where they are
+2. **Explain transitions** - Why moving to next agent
+3. **Preserve context** - Pass relevant information forward
+4. **Allow flexibility** - Users can skip or modify steps
+5. **Track everything** - Maintain complete workflow state
+
+## Integration with Agents
+
+Each agent should be workflow-aware:
+
+- Know which workflow is active
+- Understand their role in the workflow
+- Access previous artifacts
+- Know expected outputs
+- Guide toward workflow goals
+
+This creates a seamless experience where the entire team works together toward the workflow's objectives.

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

-
-2. **Provide existing requirements** - Do you have a requirements document, epic, or feature description you can share?
-
-3. **Describe the focus** - Can you briefly describe what enhancement or feature you're planning? For example:
-   - 'Adding payment processing to the user service'
-   - 'Refactoring the authentication module'
-   - 'Integrating with a new third-party API'
-
-4. **Document everything** - Or should I proceed with comprehensive documentation of the entire codebase? (Note: This may create excessive documentation for large projects)

-Please let me know your preference, or I can proceed with full documentation if you prefer."
-
-Based on their response:
-
-- If they choose option 1-3: Use that context to focus documentation
-- If they choose option 4 or decline: Proceed with comprehensive analysis below
-
-Begin by conducting analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to:
-
-1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization
-2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies
-3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands
-4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation
-5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches
-
-Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs:
-
-- What is the primary purpose of this project?
-- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand?
-- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing)
-- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer?
-- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team)
-- Is there a specific feature or enhancement you're planning? (This helps focus documentation)

-
-### 2. Deep Codebase Analysis
-
-[[LLM: Before generating documentation, conduct extensive analysis of the existing codebase:
-
-1. **Explore Key Areas**:
-   - Entry points (main files, index files, app initializers)
-   - Configuration files and environment setup
-   - Package dependencies and versions
-   - Build and deployment configurations
-   - Test suites and coverage
-
-2. **Ask Clarifying Questions**:
-   - "I see you're using [technology X]. Are there any custom patterns or conventions I should document?"
-   - "What are the most critical/complex parts of this system that developers struggle with?"
-   - "Are there any undocumented 'tribal knowledge' areas I should capture?"
-   - "What technical debt or known issues should I document?"
-   - "Which parts of the codebase change most frequently?"
-
-3. **Map the Reality**:
-   - Identify ACTUAL patterns used (not theoretical best practices)
-   - Find where key business logic lives
-   - Locate integration points and external dependencies
-   - Document workarounds and technical debt
-   - Note areas that differ from standard patterns
-
-**IF PRD PROVIDED**: Also analyze what would need to change for the enhancement]]
-
-### 3. Core Documentation Generation
-
-[[LLM: Generate a comprehensive BROWNFIELD architecture document that reflects the ACTUAL state of the codebase.
-
-**CRITICAL**: This is NOT an aspirational architecture document. Document what EXISTS, including:
-- Technical debt and workarounds
-- Inconsistent patterns between different parts
-- Legacy code that can't be changed
-- Integration constraints
-- Performance bottlenecks

-
-# [Project Name] Brownfield Architecture Document
-
-## Introduction
-This document captures the CURRENT STATE of the [Project Name] codebase, including technical debt, workarounds, and real-world patterns. It serves as a reference for AI agents working on enhancements.
-
-### Document Scope
-[If PRD provided: "Focused on areas relevant to: {enhancement description}"]
-[If no PRD: "Comprehensive documentation of entire system"]
-
-### Change Log
-| Date | Version | Description | Author |
-|------|---------|-------------|--------|
-| [Date] | 1.0 | Initial brownfield analysis | [Analyst] |
-
-## Quick Reference - Key Files and Entry Points
-
-### Critical Files for Understanding the System
-- **Main Entry**: `src/index.js` (or actual entry point)
-- **Configuration**: `config/app.config.js`, `.env.example`
-- **Core Business Logic**: `src/services/`, `src/domain/`
-- **API Definitions**: `src/routes/` or link to OpenAPI spec
-- **Database Models**: `src/models/` or link to schema files
-- **Key Algorithms**: [List specific files with complex logic]
-
-### If PRD Provided - Enhancement Impact Areas
-[Highlight which files/modules will be affected by the planned enhancement]
-
-## High Level Architecture
-
-### Technical Summary
-[Real assessment of architecture - mention if it's well-structured or has issues]
-
-### Actual Tech Stack (from package.json/requirements.txt)
-| Category | Technology | Version | Notes |
-|----------|------------|---------|--------|
-| Runtime | Node.js | 16.x | [Any constraints] |
-| Framework | Express | 4.18.2 | [Custom middleware?] |
-| Database | PostgreSQL | 13 | [Connection pooling setup] |
-| [etc...] |
-
-### Repository Structure Reality Check
-- Type: [Monorepo/Polyrepo/Hybrid]
-- Package Manager: [npm/yarn/pnpm]
-- Notable: [Any unusual structure decisions]
-
-## Source Tree and Module Organization
-
-### Project Structure (Actual)
-```
-project-root/
-├── src/
-│   ├── controllers/     # HTTP request handlers
-│   ├── services/        # Business logic (NOTE: inconsistent patterns between user and payment services)
-│   ├── models/          # Database models (Sequelize)
-│   ├── utils/           # Mixed bag - needs refactoring
-│   └── legacy/          # DO NOT MODIFY - old payment system still in use
-├── tests/               # Jest tests (60% coverage)
-├── scripts/             # Build and deployment scripts
-└── config/              # Environment configs
-```
-
-### Key Modules and Their Purpose
-- **User Management**: `src/services/userService.js` - Handles all user operations
-- **Authentication**: `src/middleware/auth.js` - JWT-based, custom implementation
-- **Payment Processing**: `src/legacy/payment.js` - CRITICAL: Do not refactor, tightly coupled
-- **[List other key modules with their actual files]**
-
-## Data Models and APIs
-
-### Data Models
-Instead of duplicating, reference actual model files:
-- **User Model**: See `src/models/User.js`
-- **Order Model**: See `src/models/Order.js`
-- **Related Types**: TypeScript definitions in `src/types/`
-
-### API Specifications
-- **OpenAPI Spec**: `docs/api/openapi.yaml` (if exists)
-- **Postman Collection**: `docs/api/postman-collection.json`
-- **Manual Endpoints**: [List any undocumented endpoints discovered]
-
-## Technical Debt and Known Issues
-
-### Critical Technical Debt
-1. **Payment Service**: Legacy code in `src/legacy/payment.js` - tightly coupled, no tests
-2. **User Service**: Different pattern than other services, uses callbacks instead of promises
-3. **Database Migrations**: Manually tracked, no proper migration tool
-4. **[Other significant debt]**
-
-### Workarounds and Gotchas
-- **Environment Variables**: Must set `NODE_ENV=production` even for staging (historical reason)
-- **Database Connections**: Connection pool hardcoded to 10, changing breaks payment service
-- **[Other workarounds developers need to know]**
-
-## Integration Points and External Dependencies
-
-### External Services
-| Service | Purpose | Integration Type | Key Files |
-|---------|---------|------------------|-----------|
-| Stripe | Payments | REST API | `src/integrations/stripe/` |
-| SendGrid | Emails | SDK | `src/services/emailService.js` |
-| [etc...] |
-
-### Internal Integration Points
-- **Frontend Communication**: REST API on port 3000, expects specific headers
-- **Background Jobs**: Redis queue, see `src/workers/`
-- **[Other integrations]**
-
-## Development and Deployment
-
-### Local Development Setup
-1. Actual steps that work (not ideal steps)
-2. Known issues with setup
-3. Required environment variables (see `.env.example`)
-
-### Build and Deployment Process
-- **Build Command**: `npm run build` (webpack config in `webpack.config.js`)
-- **Deployment**: Manual deployment via `scripts/deploy.sh`
-- **Environments**: Dev, Staging, Prod (see `config/environments/`)
-
-## Testing Reality
-
-### Current Test Coverage
-- Unit Tests: 60% coverage (Jest)
-- Integration Tests: Minimal, in `tests/integration/`
-- E2E Tests: None
-- Manual Testing: Primary QA method
-
-### Running Tests
-```bash
-npm test           # Runs unit tests
-npm run test:integration  # Runs integration tests (requires local DB)
-```
-
-## If Enhancement PRD Provided - Impact Analysis
-
-### Files That Will Need Modification
-Based on the enhancement requirements, these files will be affected:
-- `src/services/userService.js` - Add new user fields
-- `src/models/User.js` - Update schema
-- `src/routes/userRoutes.js` - New endpoints
-- [etc...]
-
-### New Files/Modules Needed
-- `src/services/newFeatureService.js` - New business logic
-- `src/models/NewFeature.js` - New data model
-- [etc...]
-
-### Integration Considerations
-- Will need to integrate with existing auth middleware
-- Must follow existing response format in `src/utils/responseFormatter.js`
-- [Other integration points]
-
-## Appendix - Useful Commands and Scripts
-
-### Frequently Used Commands
-```bash
-npm run dev         # Start development server
-npm run build       # Production build
-npm run migrate     # Run database migrations
-npm run seed        # Seed test data
-```
-
-### Debugging and Troubleshooting
-- **Logs**: Check `logs/app.log` for application logs
-- **Debug Mode**: Set `DEBUG=app:*` for verbose logging
-- **Common Issues**: See `docs/troubleshooting.md`]]
-
-### 4. Document Delivery
-
-[[LLM: After generating the complete architecture document:
-
-1. **In Web UI (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude)**:
-   - Present the entire document in one response (or multiple if too long)
-   - Tell user to copy and save as `docs/brownfield-architecture.md` or `docs/project-architecture.md`
-   - Mention it can be sharded later in IDE if needed
-
-2. **In IDE Environment**:
-   - Create the document as `docs/brownfield-architecture.md`
-   - Inform user this single document contains all architectural information
-   - Can be sharded later using PO agent if desired
-
-The document should be comprehensive enough that future agents can understand:
-- The actual state of the system (not idealized)
-- Where to find key files and logic
-- What technical debt exists
-- What constraints must be respected
-- If PRD provided: What needs to change for the enhancement]]
-
-### 5. Quality Assurance
-
-[[LLM: Before finalizing the document:
-
-1. **Accuracy Check**: Verify all technical details match the actual codebase
-2. **Completeness Review**: Ensure all major system components are documented
-3. **Focus Validation**: If user provided scope, verify relevant areas are emphasized
-4. **Clarity Assessment**: Check that explanations are clear for AI agents
-5. **Navigation**: Ensure document has clear section structure for easy reference
-
-Apply the advanced elicitation task after major sections to refine based on user feedback.]]
-
-## Success Criteria
-
-- Single comprehensive brownfield architecture document created
-- Document reflects REALITY including technical debt and workarounds
-- Key files and modules are referenced with actual paths
-- Models/APIs reference source files rather than duplicating content
-- If PRD provided: Clear impact analysis showing what needs to change
-- Document enables AI agents to navigate and understand the actual codebase
-- Technical constraints and "gotchas" are clearly documented
-
-## Notes
-
-- This task creates ONE document that captures the TRUE state of the system
-- References actual files rather than duplicating content when possible
-- Documents technical debt, workarounds, and constraints honestly
-- For brownfield projects with PRD: Provides clear enhancement impact analysis
-- The goal is PRACTICAL documentation for AI agents doing real work
-==================== END: tasks#document-project ====================
-
-==================== START: tasks#execute-checklist ====================
-# Checklist Validation Task
-
-This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
-
-## Available Checklists
-
-If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the {root}/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
-
-## Instructions
-
-1. **Initial Assessment**
-
-   - If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
-     - Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
-     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
-     - Load the appropriate checklist from {root}/checklists/
-   - If no checklist specified:
-     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
-     - Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
-   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
-     - Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
-     - All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
-
-2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
-
-   - Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
-   - Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
-
-3. **Checklist Processing**
-
-   If in interactive mode:
-
-   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
-   - For each section:
-     - Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
-     - Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
-     - Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
-     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
-
-   If in YOLO mode:
-
-   - Process all sections at once
-   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
-   - Present the complete analysis to the user
-
-4. **Validation Approach**
-
-   For each checklist item:
-
-   - Read and understand the requirement
-   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
-   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
-   - Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
-   - Mark items as:
-     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
-     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
-     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
-     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
-
-5. **Section Analysis**
-
-   For each section:
-
-   - think step by step to calculate pass rate
-   - Identify common themes in failed items
-   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
-   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
-   - Document any user decisions or explanations
-
-6. **Final Report**
-
-   Prepare a summary that includes:
-
-   - Overall checklist completion status
-   - Pass rates by section
-   - List of failed items with context
-   - Specific recommendations for improvement
-   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
-
-## Checklist Execution Methodology
-
-Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
-
-1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
-2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
-3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
-4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
-
-The LLM will:
-
-- Execute the complete checklist validation
-- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
-- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

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

+# Template Format Conventions
+
+Templates in the BMAD method use standardized markup for AI processing. These conventions ensure consistent document generation.
+
+## Template Markup Elements
+
+- **{{placeholders}}**: Variables to be replaced with actual content
+- **[[LLM: instructions]]**: Internal processing instructions for AI agents (never shown to users)
+- **REPEAT** sections: Content blocks that may be repeated as needed
+- **^^CONDITION^^** blocks: Conditional content included only if criteria are met
+- **@{examples}**: Example content for guidance (never output to users)
+
+## Processing Rules
+
+- Replace all {{placeholders}} with project-specific content
+- Execute all [[LLM: instructions]] internally without showing users
+- Process conditional and repeat blocks as specified
+- Use examples for guidance but never include them in final output
+- Present only clean, formatted content to users
+
+## Critical Guidelines
+
+- **NEVER display template markup, LLM instructions, or examples to users**
+- Template elements are for AI processing only
+- Focus on faithful template execution and clean output
+- All template-specific instructions are embedded within templates

-
-- Load `.bmad-core/core-config.yml` from the project root
-- If the file does not exist:
-  - HALT and inform the user: "core-config.yml not found. This file is required for story creation. You can:
-    1. Copy it from GITHUB BMAD-METHOD/bmad-core/core-config.yml and configure it for your project
-    2. Run the BMAD installer against your project to upgrade and add the file automatically
-    Please add and configure core-config.yml before proceeding."
-- Extract the following key configurations:
-  - `devStoryLocation`: Where to save story files
-  - `prd.prdSharded`: Whether PRD is sharded or monolithic
-  - `prd.prdFile`: Location of monolithic PRD (if not sharded)
-  - `prd.prdShardedLocation`: Location of sharded epic files
-  - `prd.epicFilePattern`: Pattern for epic files (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`)
-  - `architecture.architectureVersion`: Architecture document version
-  - `architecture.architectureSharded`: Whether architecture is sharded
-  - `architecture.architectureFile`: Location of monolithic architecture
-  - `architecture.architectureShardedLocation`: Location of sharded architecture files
-
 ### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation
 
 #### 1.1 Locate Epic Files
 
-- Based on `prdSharded` from config:
-  - **If `prdSharded: true`**: Look for epic files in `prdShardedLocation` using `epicFilePattern`
-  - **If `prdSharded: false`**: Load the full PRD from `prdFile` and extract epics from section headings (## Epic N or ### Epic N)
+- First, determine where epic files are located:
+  - Check `docs/prd/` for files matching pattern `epic-{n}-*.md`
+  - If not found, check `docs/epics/` for files matching pattern `epic-{n}-*.md`
+  - If still not found, ask user: "Unable to locate epic files. Please specify the path where epic files are stored."
+- Note: Epic files follow naming convention `epic-{n}-{description}.md` (e.g., `epic-1-foundation-core-infrastructure.md`)
 
 #### 1.2 Review Existing Stories
 
-- Check `devStoryLocation` from config (e.g., `docs/stories/`) for existing story files
-- If the directory exists and has at least 1 file, find the highest-numbered story file.
+- Review `docs/stories/` to find the highest-numbered story file.

-  - **CRITICAL**: NEVER automatically skip to another epic or non-sequential story. The user MUST explicitly instruct which story to create if skipping the sequential order.
+  - If proceeding: Look for the Epic File for `{lastEpicNum}` (e.g., `epic-{lastEpicNum}-*.md`) and check for a story numbered `{lastStoryNum + 1}`. If it exists and its prerequisites (per Epic File) are met, this is the next story.
+  - Else (story not found or prerequisites not met): The next story is the first story in the next Epic File (e.g., look for `epic-{lastEpicNum + 1}-*.md`, then `epic-{lastEpicNum + 2}-*.md`, etc.) whose prerequisites are met.

 ## Key Activities & Instructions
 
-### 1. Core Prompting Principles
+1. **Confirm Target AI Generation Platform:**
 
-Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code.
+   - Ask the user to specify which AI frontend generation tool/platform they intend to use (e.g., "Lovable.ai", "Vercel v0", "GPT-4 with direct code generation instructions", etc.).
+   - Explain that prompt optimization might differ slightly based on the platform's capabilities and preferred input format.
 
-- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs.
-- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results.
-- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals.
-- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop.
+2. **Synthesize Inputs into a Structured Prompt:**
 
-### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework
+   - **Overall Project Context:**
+     - Briefly state the project's purpose (from brief/PRD).
+     - Specify the chosen frontend framework, core libraries, and UI component library (from `front-end-architecture` and main `architecture`).
+     - Mention the styling approach (e.g., Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules).
+   - **Design System & Visuals:**
+     - Reference the primary design files (e.g., Figma link).
+     - If the tool doesn't directly ingest design files, describe the overall visual style, color palette, typography, and key branding elements (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`).
+     - List any global UI components or design tokens that should be defined or adhered to.
+   - **Application Structure & Routing:**
+     - Describe the main pages/views and their routes (from `front-end-architecture` - Routing Strategy).
+     - Outline the navigation structure (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`).
+   - **Key User Flows & Page-Level Interactions:**
+     - For a few critical user flows (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`):
+       - Describe the sequence of user actions and expected UI changes on each relevant page.
+       - Specify API calls to be made (referencing API endpoints from the main `architecture`) and how data should be displayed or used.
+   - **Component Generation Instructions (Iterative or Key Components):**
+     - Based on the chosen AI tool's capabilities, decide on a strategy:
+       - **Option 1 (Scaffolding):** Prompt for the generation of main page structures, layouts, and placeholders for components.
+       - **Option 2 (Key Component Generation):** Select a few critical or complex components from the `front-end-architecture` (Component Breakdown) and provide detailed specifications for them (props, state, basic behavior, key UI elements).
+       - **Option 3 (Holistic, if tool supports):** Attempt to describe the entire application structure and key components more broadly.
+     - <important_note>Advise the user that generating an entire complex application perfectly in one go is rare. Iterative prompting or focusing on sections/key components is often more effective.</important_note>
+   - **State Management (High-Level Pointers):**
+     - Mention the chosen state management solution (e.g., "Use Redux Toolkit").
+     - For key pieces of data, indicate if they should be managed in global state.
+   - **API Integration Points:**
+     - For pages/components that fetch or submit data, clearly state the relevant API endpoints (from `architecture`) and the expected data shapes (can reference schemas in `data-models` or `api-reference` sections of the architecture doc).
+   - **Critical "Don'ts" or Constraints:**
+     - e.g., "Do not use deprecated libraries." "Ensure all forms have basic client-side validation."
+   - **Platform-Specific Optimizations:**
+     - If the chosen AI tool has known best practices for prompting (e.g., specific keywords, structure, level of detail), incorporate them. (This might require the agent to have some general knowledge or to ask the user if they know any such specific prompt modifiers for their chosen tool).
 
-To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework.
-
-1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task.
-   - _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_
-2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt.
-   - _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_
-3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do.
-   - _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_
-4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase.
-   - _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_
-
-### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt
-
-You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt.
-
-1. **Gather Foundational Context**:
-   - Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used.
-2. **Describe the Visuals**:
-   - If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots.
-   - If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful").
-3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**:
-   - Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page.
-4. **Present and Refine**:
-   - Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block).
-   - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above.
-   - <important_note>Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready.</important_note>
+3. **Present and Refine the Master Prompt:**
+   - Output the generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block).
+   - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included.
+   - Work with the user to refine the prompt based on their knowledge of the target AI tool and any specific nuances they want to emphasize.
+   - <important_note>Remind the user that the generated code from the AI tool will likely require review, testing, and further refinement by developers.</important_note>

-           - 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:

-           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
-
