-# Old Template Markup System References
-
-This document catalogs all references to the old template markup system found in the BMAD-METHOD documentation and codebase.
-
-## Summary of Old Markup Patterns
-
-The old template markup system used the following patterns:
-
-- `[[LLM: ...]]` - LLM-only processing directives
-- `{{placeholders}}` - Variable substitution
-- `<<REPEAT section="name">>` - Repeatable sections
-- `^^CONDITION: condition_name^^` - Conditional blocks
-- `@{examples}` - Example content markers
-
-## Files Containing References
-
-### 1. Primary Documentation Files
-
-#### `/Users/brianmadison/dev-bmc/BMAD-METHOD/docs/user-guide.md`
-
-- **Lines 149-155**: Describes template structure with placeholders and LLM instructions
-- **Lines 229-230**: References advanced elicitation with embedded LLM instructions
-- **Lines 527-549**: Shows custom template creation with LLM instructions and placeholders
-- **Lines 590-632**: Detailed template patterns including variables, AI processing, and conditionals
-- **Lines 619-623**: References to `@{example}` patterns and `[[LLM:]]` instructions
-
-#### `/Users/brianmadison/dev-bmc/BMAD-METHOD/docs/core-architecture.md`
-
-- **Lines 93-104**: Describes templates as self-contained with embedded LLM instructions
-- **Lines 97-104**: Mentions template-format.md specification with placeholders and LLM directives
-
-#### `/Users/brianmadison/dev-bmc/BMAD-METHOD/CLAUDE.md`
-
-- **Lines 37, 262**: References to template instructions using `[[LLM: ...]]` markup
-- **Line 38**: Mentions templates with embedded LLM instructions
-
-### 2. Common Utilities
-
-#### `/Users/brianmadison/dev-bmc/BMAD-METHOD/common/utils/bmad-doc-template.md`
-
-- **Lines 296-324**: Migration section describes converting from legacy markdown+frontmatter templates
-- **Lines 319-323**: Specific conversion instructions for old markup patterns
-
-### 3. Task Files
-
-#### `/Users/brianmadison/dev-bmc/BMAD-METHOD/bmad-core/tasks/shard-doc.md`
-
-- **Lines 11-30**: Contains LLM instructions embedded in the task
-- **Line 160**: References preserving template markup including `{{placeholders}}` and `[[LLM instructions]]`
-
-#### `/Users/brianmadison/dev-bmc/BMAD-METHOD/expansion-packs/bmad-creator-tools/tasks/generate-expansion-pack.md`
-
-- **Lines 10-14**: Describes template systems with LLM instruction embedding
-- **Lines 107-118**: Template section planning with LLM instructions
-- **Lines 229-245**: Detailed LLM instruction patterns for templates
-- **Lines 569-593**: Advanced template design patterns
-- **Lines 229, 573**: Specific examples of `[[LLM:]]` usage
-- **Line 574**: References conditional content with `^^CONDITION:^^`
-- **Line 576**: Mentions iteration controls with `<<REPEAT>>`
-
-### 4. Agent and Template Files
-
-Multiple agent and task files contain actual usage of the old markup system (22 files found with `[[LLM:]]` patterns), including:
-
-- Story templates
-- Checklists
-- Task definitions
-- Workflow plans
-
-## Key Observations
-
-1. **Documentation vs Implementation**: The documentation heavily references the old markup system, while the new YAML-based template system (`bmad-doc-template.md`) is already defined but not yet reflected in the main documentation.
-
-2. **Migration Path**: The `bmad-doc-template.md` file includes a migration section (lines 316-324) that explicitly maps old patterns to new YAML structures.
-
-3. **Active Usage**: Many core tasks and templates still actively use the old markup patterns, particularly `[[LLM:]]` instructions embedded within markdown files.
-
-4. **Inconsistency**: Some files reference a `template-format.md` file that doesn't exist in the expected locations, suggesting incomplete migration or documentation updates.
-
-## Recommendations
-
-1. **Update User Guide**: The user guide needs significant updates to reflect the new YAML-based template system
-2. **Update Core Architecture Docs**: Remove references to embedded LLM instructions in templates
-3. **Create Template Migration Guide**: A comprehensive guide for converting existing templates
-4. **Update Extension Pack Documentation**: The bmad-creator-tools expansion pack documentation needs updates
-5. **Audit Active Templates**: Review and migrate templates that still use the old markup system
