-# 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.
-
-## IDE Development Workflow
-
-1. Shard the PRD (And Architecture documents if they exist also based on workflow type) using the Doc Shard task. The BMad-Master agent can help you do this. You will select the task, provide the doc to shard and the output folder. for example: `BMad Master, please Shard the docs/prd.md to the doc/prd/ folder` - this should ask you to use the md-tree-parser which is recommended, but either way shoudl result in multiple documents being created in the folder docs/prd.
-2. If you have fullstack, front end and or back end architecture documents you will want to follow the same thing, but shard all of these to an architecture folder instead of a prd folder.
-3. Ensure that you have at least one epic-n.md file in your prd folder, with the stories in order to develop.
-4. The docs or architecture folder or prd folder should have a source tree document and coding standards at a minimum. These are used by the dev agent, and the many other sharded docs are used by the SM agent.
-5. Use a new chat window to allow the SM agent to `draft the next story`.
-6. If you agree the story is correct, mark it as approved in the status field, and then start a new chat window with the dev agent.
-7. Ask the dev agent to implement the next story. If you draft the story file into the chat it will save time for the dev to have to find what the next one is. The dev should follow the tasks and subtasks marking them off as they are completed. The dev agent will also leave notes potentially for the SM to know about any deviations that might have occured to help draft the next story.
-8. Once complete and you have verified, mark it done, and start a new chat. Ask the SM to draft the next story - repeating the cycle.
-
-With this work flow, there is only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially.

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

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

-# Document an Existing Project
-
-## Purpose
-
-Generate comprehensive documentation for existing projects optimized for AI development agents. This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase.
-
-## Task Instructions
-
-### 1. Initial Project Analysis
-
-[[LLM: Begin by conducting a comprehensive 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)
-  ]]
-
-### 2. Core Documentation Generation

-
-### 3. Document Structure Template
-
-[[LLM: Use this standardized structure for each documentation file, adapting content as needed:
-
-```markdown
-# {{Document Title}}
-
-## Overview
-
-{{Brief description of what this document covers and why it's important for AI agents}}
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-{{Key points, commands, or patterns that agents need most frequently}}
-
-## Detailed Information
-
-{{Comprehensive information organized into logical sections}}
-
-## Examples
-
-{{Concrete examples showing proper usage or implementation}}
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-{{Recurring patterns agents should recognize and follow}}
-
-## Things to Avoid
-
-{{Anti-patterns, deprecated approaches, or common mistakes}}
-
-## Related Resources
-
-{{Links to other relevant documentation or external resources}}
-```
-
-Each document should be:
-
-- **Concrete and actionable** - Focus on what agents need to do, not just concepts
-- **Pattern-focused** - Highlight recurring patterns agents can recognize and replicate
-- **Example-rich** - Include specific code examples and real file references
-- **Context-aware** - Reference actual project files, folders, and conventions
-- **Assumption-free** - Don't assume agents know project history or implicit knowledge

-4. **Consistency Verification**: Ensure terminology and patterns align across all documents
-5. **Agent Perspective**: Review from the viewpoint of an AI agent that needs to contribute to this project
-
-Ask the user to review each completed document and use the advanced elicitation task to refine based on their feedback.]]
-
-### 7. Final Integration
-
-[[LLM: After all documents are completed:
-
-1. Ensure all documents are created in the proper BMAD-expected locations:
-
-   - Core docs in `docs/` (index.md, prd.md)
-   - Architecture shards in `docs/architecture/` subdirectory
-   - Create the `docs/architecture/` directory if it doesn't exist
-
-2. Create/update the master index documents:
-
-   - Update `docs/index.md` to reference all documentation
-   - Create `docs/architecture/index.md` listing all architecture shards
-
-3. Verify document cross-references:
-
-   - Ensure all documents link to related documentation
-   - Check that file paths match the actual project structure
-   - Validate that examples reference real files in the project
-
-4. Provide maintenance guidance:
-
-   - Document update triggers (when to update each doc)
-   - Create a simple checklist for keeping docs current
-   - Suggest automated validation approaches
-
-5. Summary report including:
-   - List of all documents created with their paths
-   - Any gaps or areas needing human review
-   - Recommendations for project-specific additions
-   - Next steps for maintaining documentation accuracy
-
-Present a summary of what was created and ask if any additional documentation would be helpful for AI agents working on this specific project.]]
-
-## Success Criteria
-
-- Documentation enables AI agents to understand project context without additional explanation
-- All major architectural patterns and coding conventions are captured
-- Examples reference actual project files and demonstrate real usage
-- Documentation is structured consistently and easy to navigate
-- Content is actionable and focuses on what agents need to do, not just understand
-
-## Notes
-
-- This task is designed to work with any project type, language, or framework
-- The documentation should reflect the project as it actually is, not as it should be
-- Focus on patterns that agents can recognize and replicate consistently
-- Include both positive examples (what to do) and negative examples (what to avoid)

-
-<<REPEAT: critical_rule>>
-
-- **{{rule_name}}:** {{rule_description}}
-  <</REPEAT>>
-
-@{example: critical_rules}
-
-- **Type Sharing:** Always define types in packages/shared and import from there
-- **API Calls:** Never make direct HTTP calls - use the service layer
-- **Environment Variables:** Access only through config objects, never process.env directly
-- **Error Handling:** All API routes must use the standard error handler
-- **State Updates:** Never mutate state directly - use proper state management patterns
-  @{/example}
-
-### Naming Conventions
-
-| Element         | Frontend             | Backend    | Example             |
-| :-------------- | :------------------- | :--------- | :------------------ |
-| Components      | PascalCase           | -          | `UserProfile.tsx`   |
-| Hooks           | camelCase with 'use' | -          | `useAuth.ts`        |
-| API Routes      | -                    | kebab-case | `/api/user-profile` |
-| Database Tables | -                    | snake_case | `user_profiles`     |
-
-## Epics
-
-[[LLM: First, present a high-level list of all epics for user approval, the epic_list and immediately execute tasks#advanced-elicitation display. Each epic should have a title and a short (1 sentence) goal statement. This allows the user to review the overall structure before diving into details.
-
-CRITICAL: Epics MUST be logically sequential following agile best practices:
-
-- Each epic should deliver a significant, end-to-end, fully deployable increment of testable functionality
-- Epic 1 must establish foundational project infrastructure (app setup, Git, CI/CD, core services) unless we are adding new functionality to an existing app, while also delivering an initial piece of functionality, even as simple as a health-check route or display of a simple canary page
-- Each subsequent epic builds upon previous epics' functionality delivering major blocks of functionality that provide tangible value to users or business when deployed
-- Not every project needs multiple epics, an epic needs to deliver value. For example, an API completed can deliver value even if a UI is not complete and planned for a separate epic.
-- Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things.
-- Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories. For example, adding a logging framework as a last story of an epic, or at the end of a project as a final epic or story would be terrible as we would not have logging from the beginning.]]

-4. Reporting & Analytics: Provide insights and data visualization for users
-

-[[LLM: CRITICAL STORY SEQUENCING REQUIREMENTS:
-
-- Stories within each epic MUST be logically sequential
-- Each story should be a "vertical slice" delivering complete functionality
-- No story should depend on work from a later story or epic
-- Identify and note any direct prerequisite stories
-- Focus on "what" and "why" not "how" (leave technical implementation to Architect) yet be precise enough to support a logical sequential order of operations from story to story.
-- Ensure each story delivers clear user or business value, try to avoid enablers and build them into stories that deliver value.
-- Size stories for AI agent execution: Each story must be completable by a single AI agent in one focused session without context overflow
-- Think "junior developer working for 2-4 hours" - stories must be small, focused, and self-contained
-- If a story seems complex, break it down further as long as it can deliver a vertical slice
-- Each story should result in working, testable code before the agent's context window fills]]

-#### Acceptance Criteria
-
-[[LLM: Define clear, comprehensive, and testable acceptance criteria that:
-
-- Precisely define what "done" means from a functional perspective
-- Are unambiguous and serve as basis for verification
-- Include any critical non-functional requirements from the PRD
-- Consider local testability for backend/data components
-- Specify UI/UX requirements and framework adherence where applicable
-- Avoid cross-cutting concerns that should be in other stories or PRD sections]]

-# 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
-- Use `/agent-list` to show agents in the current bundle
-- Use `/workflows` to show workflows in the current bundle, NOT any creation tasks
-
-### Workflow Descriptions
-
-When displaying workflows, use these descriptions based on the workflow ID:
-
-- **greenfield-fullstack**: Build a new full-stack application from concept to development
-- **brownfield-fullstack**: Enhance an existing full-stack application with new features
-- **greenfield-service**: Build a new backend service or API from concept to development
-- **brownfield-service**: Enhance an existing backend service or API
-- **greenfield-ui**: Build a new frontend/UI application from concept to development
-- **brownfield-ui**: Enhance an existing frontend/UI application
-
-## Workflow Commands
-
-### /workflows
-
-Lists all available workflows for the current team. The available workflows are determined by the team configuration and may include workflows such as:
-
-- greenfield-fullstack
-- brownfield-fullstack
-- greenfield-service
-- brownfield-service
-- greenfield-ui
-- brownfield-ui
-
-The actual list depends on which team bundle is loaded. When responding to this command, display the workflows that are configured in the current team's `workflows` field.
-
-Example response format:
-
-```text
-Available workflows for [Team Name]:
-1. [workflow-id] - [Brief description based on workflow type]
-2. [workflow-id] - [Brief description based on workflow type]
-[... etc. ...]
-
-Use /workflow-start {number or id} to begin a workflow.
-```text
-
-### /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?
-```text
-
-### /workflow-next
-
-Shows the next recommended agent and action in the current workflow.
-
-## Workflow Execution Flow
-
-### 1. Starting a Workflow
-
-When a workflow is started:
-
-1. Load the workflow definition
-2. Identify the first stage and step
-3. Transition to the required agent
-4. Provide context about expected inputs/outputs
-5. Guide artifact creation
-
-### 2. Stage Transitions
-
-After each artifact is completed:
-
-1. Mark the step as complete
-2. Check transition conditions
-3. If stage is complete, move to next stage
-4. Load the appropriate agent
-5. Pass relevant artifacts as context
-
-### 3. Artifact Tracking
-
-Track all created artifacts:
-
-```yaml
-workflow_state:
-  current_workflow: greenfield-fullstack
-  current_stage: planning
-  current_step: 2
-  artifacts:
-    project-brief:
-      status: completed
-      created_by: analyst
-      timestamp: 2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z
-    prd:
-      status: in-progress
-      created_by: pm
-      started: 2024-01-15T11:00:00.000Z
-```
-
-### 4. Workflow Interruption Handling
-
-When user returns after interruption:
-
-1. Ask if continuing previous workflow
-2. Request any completed artifacts
-3. Analyze provided artifacts
-4. Determine workflow position
-5. Suggest next appropriate step
-
-Example:
-
-```text
-User: I'm working on a new app. Here's my PRD and architecture doc.
-BMad: I see you have a PRD and architecture document. Based on these artifacts,
-      it looks like you're following the greenfield-fullstack workflow and have completed
-      stages 1-3. The next recommended step would be:
-
-      Stage 4: Validation & Refinement
-      - Load Sarah (Product Owner) to validate all artifacts
-
-      Would you like to continue with this workflow?
-```text
-
-## 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.

-# 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.

-## Purpose
-
-- Provide optional reflective and brainstorming actions to enhance content quality
-- Enable deeper exploration of ideas through structured elicitation techniques
-- Support iterative refinement through multiple analytical perspectives
-
-## Task Instructions
-
-### 1. Section Context and Review
-
-[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a section:
-
-1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented (e.g., "Please review the technology choices for completeness and alignment with your project needs. Pay special attention to version numbers and any missing categories.")
-
-2. If the section contains Mermaid diagrams, explain each diagram briefly before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The component diagram shows the main system modules and their interactions. Notice how the API Gateway routes requests to different services.")
-
-3. If the section contains multiple distinct items (like multiple components, multiple patterns, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to:
-
-   - The entire section as a whole
-   - Individual items within the section (specify which item when selecting an action)
-
-4. Then present the action list as specified below.]]
-
-### 2. Ask for Review and Present Action List
-
-[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted section. In the SAME message, inform them that they can suggest additions, removals, or modifications, OR they can select an action by number from the 'Advanced Reflective, Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. If there are multiple items in the section, mention they can specify which item(s) to apply the action to. Then, present ONLY the numbered list (0-9) of these actions. Conclude by stating that selecting 9 will proceed to the next section. Await user selection. If an elicitation action (0-8) is chosen, execute it and then re-offer this combined review/elicitation choice. If option 9 is chosen, or if the user provides direct feedback, proceed accordingly.]]
-
-**Present the numbered list (0-9) with this exact format:**
-
-```text
-**Advanced Reflective, Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions**
-Choose an action (0-9 - 9 to bypass - HELP for explanation of these options):
-
-0. Expand or Contract for Audience
-1. Explain Reasoning (CoT Step-by-Step)
-2. Critique and Refine
-3. Analyze Logical Flow and Dependencies
-4. Assess Alignment with Overall Goals
-5. Identify Potential Risks and Unforeseen Issues
-6. Challenge from Critical Perspective (Self or Other Persona)
-7. Explore Diverse Alternatives (ToT-Inspired)
-8. Hindsight is 20/20: The 'If Only...' Reflection
-9. Proceed / No Further Actions
-```
-
-### 2. Processing Guidelines
-
-**Do NOT show:**
-
-- The full protocol text with `[[LLM: ...]]` instructions
-- Detailed explanations of each option unless executing or the user asks, when giving the definition you can modify to tie its relevance
-- Any internal template markup
-
-**After user selection from the list:**
-
-- Execute the chosen action according to the protocol instructions below
-- Ask if they want to select another action or proceed with option 9 once complete
-- Continue until user selects option 9 or indicates completion
-
-## Action Definitions
-
-0. Expand or Contract for Audience
-   [[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the content (add more detail, elaborate) or 'contract' it (simplify, clarify, make more concise). Also, ask if there's a specific target audience they have in mind. Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current role's perspective, tailored to the specified audience if provided.]]
-
-1. Explain Reasoning (CoT Step-by-Step)
-   [[LLM: Explain the step-by-step thinking process, characteristic of your role, that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this content.]]
-
-2. Critique and Refine
-   [[LLM: From your current role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for flaws, inconsistencies, or areas for improvement, and then suggest a refined version reflecting your expertise.]]
-
-3. Analyze Logical Flow and Dependencies
-   [[LLM: From your role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical progression, internal consistency, and any relevant dependencies. Confirm if elements are presented in an effective order.]]
-
-4. Assess Alignment with Overall Goals
-   [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current content contributes to the stated overall goals of the document, interpreting this from your specific role's perspective and identifying any misalignments you perceive.]]
-
-5. Identify Potential Risks and Unforeseen Issues
-   [[LLM: Based on your role's expertise, brainstorm potential risks, overlooked edge cases, or unintended consequences related to the current content or proposal.]]
-
-6. Challenge from Critical Perspective (Self or Other Persona)
-   [[LLM: Adopt a critical perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another role or persona (e.g., 'as a customer', 'as [Another Persona Name]'), critique the content or play devil's advocate from that specified viewpoint. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your own current persona's viewpoint, arguing against the proposal or current content and highlighting weaknesses or counterarguments specific to your concerns. This can also randomly include YAGNI when appropriate, such as when trimming the scope of an MVP, the perspective might challenge the need for something to cut MVP scope.]]
-
-7. Explore Diverse Alternatives (ToT-Inspired)
-   [[LLM: From your role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches or solutions to the current topic. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2 distinct alternatives, detailing the pros, cons, and potential implications you foresee for each.]]
-
-8. Hindsight is 20/20: The 'If Only...' Reflection
-   [[LLM: In your current persona, imagine it's a retrospective for a project based on the current content. What's the one 'if only we had known/done X...' that your role would humorously or dramatically highlight, along with the imagined consequences?]]
-
-9. Proceed / No Further Actions
-   [[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]]

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

-## 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.
-
-## IDE Development Workflow
-
-1. Shard the PRD (And Architecture documents if they exist also based on workflow type) using the Doc Shard task. The BMad-Master agent can help you do this. You will select the task, provide the doc to shard and the output folder. for example: `BMad Master, please Shard the docs/prd.md to the doc/prd/ folder` - this should ask you to use the md-tree-parser which is recommended, but either way shoudl result in multiple documents being created in the folder docs/prd.
-2. If you have fullstack, front end and or back end architecture documents you will want to follow the same thing, but shard all of these to an architecture folder instead of a prd folder.
-3. Ensure that you have at least one epic-n.md file in your prd folder, with the stories in order to develop.
-4. The docs or architecture folder or prd folder should have a source tree document and coding standards at a minimum. These are used by the dev agent, and the many other sharded docs are used by the SM agent.
-5. Use a new chat window to allow the SM agent to `draft the next story`.
-6. If you agree the story is correct, mark it as approved in the status field, and then start a new chat window with the dev agent.
-7. Ask the dev agent to implement the next story. If you draft the story file into the chat it will save time for the dev to have to find what the next one is. The dev should follow the tasks and subtasks marking them off as they are completed. The dev agent will also leave notes potentially for the SM to know about any deviations that might have occured to help draft the next story.
-8. Once complete and you have verified, mark it done, and start a new chat. Ask the SM to draft the next story - repeating the cycle.
-
-With this work flow, there is only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially.

-==================== START: utils#workflow-management ====================
-# Workflow Management
-
-This utility enables the BMAD orchestrator to manage and execute team workflows.
-
-## Important: Dynamic Workflow Loading
-
-The BMAD orchestrator MUST read the available workflows from the current team configuration's `workflows` field. Do not use hardcoded workflow lists. Each team bundle defines its own set of supported workflows based on the agents it includes.
-
-**Critical Distinction**:
-
-- When asked "what workflows are available?", show ONLY the workflows defined in the current team bundle's configuration
-- Use `/agent-list` to show agents in the current bundle
-- Use `/workflows` to show workflows in the current bundle, NOT any creation tasks
-
-### Workflow Descriptions
-
-When displaying workflows, use these descriptions based on the workflow ID:
-
-- **greenfield-fullstack**: Build a new full-stack application from concept to development
-- **brownfield-fullstack**: Enhance an existing full-stack application with new features
-- **greenfield-service**: Build a new backend service or API from concept to development
-- **brownfield-service**: Enhance an existing backend service or API
-- **greenfield-ui**: Build a new frontend/UI application from concept to development
-- **brownfield-ui**: Enhance an existing frontend/UI application
-
-## Workflow Commands
-
-### /workflows
-
-Lists all available workflows for the current team. The available workflows are determined by the team configuration and may include workflows such as:
-
-- greenfield-fullstack
-- brownfield-fullstack
-- greenfield-service
-- brownfield-service
-- greenfield-ui
-- brownfield-ui
-
-The actual list depends on which team bundle is loaded. When responding to this command, display the workflows that are configured in the current team's `workflows` field.
-
-Example response format:
-
-```text
-Available workflows for [Team Name]:
-1. [workflow-id] - [Brief description based on workflow type]
-2. [workflow-id] - [Brief description based on workflow type]
-[... etc. ...]
-
-Use /workflow-start {number or id} to begin a workflow.
-```text
-
-### /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?
-```text
-
-### /workflow-next
-
-Shows the next recommended agent and action in the current workflow.
-
-## Workflow Execution Flow
-
-### 1. Starting a Workflow
-
-When a workflow is started:
-
-1. Load the workflow definition
-2. Identify the first stage and step
-3. Transition to the required agent
-4. Provide context about expected inputs/outputs
-5. Guide artifact creation
-
-### 2. Stage Transitions
-
-After each artifact is completed:
-
-1. Mark the step as complete
-2. Check transition conditions
-3. If stage is complete, move to next stage
-4. Load the appropriate agent
-5. Pass relevant artifacts as context
-
-### 3. Artifact Tracking
-
-Track all created artifacts:
-
-```yaml
-workflow_state:
-  current_workflow: greenfield-fullstack
-  current_stage: planning
-  current_step: 2
-  artifacts:
-    project-brief:
-      status: completed
-      created_by: analyst
-      timestamp: 2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z
-    prd:
-      status: in-progress
-      created_by: pm
-      started: 2024-01-15T11:00:00.000Z
-```
-
-### 4. Workflow Interruption Handling
-
-When user returns after interruption:
-
-1. Ask if continuing previous workflow
-2. Request any completed artifacts
-3. Analyze provided artifacts
-4. Determine workflow position
-5. Suggest next appropriate step
-
-Example:
-
-```text
-User: I'm working on a new app. Here's my PRD and architecture doc.
-BMad: I see you have a PRD and architecture document. Based on these artifacts,
-      it looks like you're following the greenfield-fullstack workflow and have completed
-      stages 1-3. The next recommended step would be:
-
-      Stage 4: Validation & Refinement
-      - Load Sarah (Product Owner) to validate all artifacts
-
-      Would you like to continue with this workflow?
-```text
-
-## 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.

-==================== START: utils#template-format ====================
-# 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

-# 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.

-==================== END: agents#dev ====================
-
-==================== 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.
-
-## 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

-# Story Definition of Done (DoD) Checklist
-
-## Instructions for Developer Agent
-
-Before marking a story as 'Review', please go through each item in this checklist. Report the status of each item (e.g., [x] Done, [ ] Not Done, [N/A] Not Applicable) and provide brief comments if necessary.
-
-[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - STORY DOD VALIDATION
-
-This checklist is for DEVELOPER AGENTS to self-validate their work before marking a story complete.
-
-IMPORTANT: This is a self-assessment. Be honest about what's actually done vs what should be done. It's better to identify issues now than have them found in review.
-
-EXECUTION APPROACH:
-
-1. Go through each section systematically
-2. Mark items as [x] Done, [ ] Not Done, or [N/A] Not Applicable
-3. Add brief comments explaining any [ ] or [N/A] items
-4. Be specific about what was actually implemented
-5. Flag any concerns or technical debt created
-
-The goal is quality delivery, not just checking boxes.]]
-
-## Checklist Items

-# 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

-# Create Next Story Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-To identify the next logical story based on project progress and epic definitions, and then to prepare a comprehensive, self-contained, and actionable story file using the `Story Template`. This task ensures the story is enriched with all necessary technical context, requirements, and acceptance criteria, making it ready for efficient implementation by a Developer Agent with minimal need for additional research.
-
-## Inputs for this Task
-
-- Access to the project's documentation repository, specifically:
-  - `docs/index.md` (hereafter "Index Doc")
-  - All Epic files - located in one of these locations:
-    - Primary: `docs/prd/epic-{n}-{description}.md` (e.g., `epic-1-foundation-core-infrastructure.md`)
-    - Secondary: `docs/epics/epic-{n}-{description}.md`
-    - User-specified location if not found in above paths
-  - Existing story files in `docs/stories/`
-  - Main PRD (hereafter "PRD Doc")
-  - Main Architecture Document (hereafter "Main Arch Doc")
-  - Frontend Architecture Document (hereafter "Frontend Arch Doc," if relevant)
-  - Project Structure Guide (`docs/project-structure.md`)
-  - Operational Guidelines Document (`docs/operational-guidelines.md`)
-  - Technology Stack Document (`docs/tech-stack.md`)
-  - Data Models Document (as referenced in Index Doc)
-  - API Reference Document (as referenced in Index Doc)
-  - UI/UX Specifications, Style Guides, Component Guides (if relevant, as referenced in Index Doc)
-- The `bmad-core/templates/story-tmpl.md` (hereafter "Story Template")
-- The `bmad-core/checklists/story-draft-checklist.md` (hereafter "Story Draft Checklist")
-- User confirmation to proceed with story identification and, if needed, to override warnings about incomplete prerequisite stories.
-
-## Task Execution Instructions
-
-### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation
-
-#### 1.1 Locate Epic Files
-
-- 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
-
-- Review `docs/stories/` to find the highest-numbered story file.
-- **If a highest story file exists (`{lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md`):**
-
-  - Verify its `Status` is 'Done' (or equivalent).
-  - If not 'Done', present an alert to the user:
-
-    ```plaintext
-    ALERT: Found incomplete story:
-    File: {lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md
-    Status: [current status]
-
-    Would you like to:
-    1. View the incomplete story details (instructs user to do so, agent does not display)
-    2. Cancel new story creation at this time
-    3. Accept risk & Override to create the next story in draft
-
-    Please choose an option (1/2/3):
-    ```
-
-  - Proceed only if user selects option 3 (Override) or if the last story was 'Done'.
-  - 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.
-
-- **If no story files exist in `docs/stories/`:**
-  - The next story is the first story in the first epic file (look for `epic-1-*.md`, then `epic-2-*.md`, etc.) whose prerequisites are met.
-- If no suitable story with met prerequisites is found, report to the user that story creation is blocked, specifying what prerequisites are pending. HALT task.
-- Announce the identified story to the user: "Identified next story for preparation: {epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}".
-
-### 2. Gather Core Story Requirements (from Epic File)
-
-- For the identified story, open its parent Epic File (e.g., `epic-{epicNum}-*.md` from the location identified in step 1.1).
-- Extract: Exact Title, full Goal/User Story statement, initial list of Requirements, all Acceptance Criteria (ACs), and any predefined high-level Tasks.
-- Keep a record of this original epic-defined scope for later deviation analysis.
-
-### 3. Review Previous Story and Extract Dev Notes
-
-[[LLM: This step is CRITICAL for continuity and learning from implementation experience]]
-
-- If this is not the first story (i.e., previous story exists):
-  - Read the previous story file: `docs/stories/{prevEpicNum}.{prevStoryNum}.story.md`
-  - Pay special attention to:
-    - Dev Agent Record sections (especially Completion Notes and Debug Log References)
-    - Any deviations from planned implementation
-    - Technical decisions made during implementation
-    - Challenges encountered and solutions applied
-    - Any "lessons learned" or notes for future stories
-  - Extract relevant insights that might inform the current story's preparation
-
-### 4. Gather & Synthesize Architecture Context from Sharded Docs
-
-[[LLM: CRITICAL - You MUST gather technical details from the sharded architecture documents. NEVER make up technical details not found in these documents.]]
-
-#### 4.1 Start with Architecture Index
-
-- Read `docs/architecture/index.md` to understand the full scope of available documentation
-- Identify which sharded documents are most relevant to the current story
-
-#### 4.2 Recommended Reading Order Based on Story Type
-
-[[LLM: Read documents in this order, but ALWAYS verify relevance to the specific story. Skip irrelevant sections but NEVER skip documents that contain information needed for the story.]]
-
-**For ALL Stories:**
-
-1. `docs/architecture/tech-stack.md` - Understand technology constraints and versions
-2. `docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md` - Know where code should be placed
-3. `docs/architecture/coding-standards.md` - Ensure dev follows project conventions
-4. `docs/architecture/testing-strategy.md` - Include testing requirements in tasks
-
-**For Backend/API Stories, additionally read:** 5. `docs/architecture/data-models.md` - Data structures and validation rules 6. `docs/architecture/database-schema.md` - Database design and relationships 7. `docs/architecture/backend-architecture.md` - Service patterns and structure 8. `docs/architecture/rest-api-spec.md` - API endpoint specifications 9. `docs/architecture/external-apis.md` - Third-party integrations (if relevant)
-
-**For Frontend/UI Stories, additionally read:** 5. `docs/architecture/frontend-architecture.md` - Component structure and patterns 6. `docs/architecture/components.md` - Specific component designs 7. `docs/architecture/core-workflows.md` - User interaction flows 8. `docs/architecture/data-models.md` - Frontend data handling
-
-**For Full-Stack Stories:**
-
-- Read both Backend and Frontend sections above
-
-#### 4.3 Extract Story-Specific Technical Details
-
-[[LLM: As you read each document, extract ONLY the information directly relevant to implementing the current story. Do NOT include general information unless it directly impacts the story implementation.]]
-
-For each relevant document, extract:
-
-- Specific data models, schemas, or structures the story will use
-- API endpoints the story must implement or consume
-- Component specifications for UI elements in the story
-- File paths and naming conventions for new code
-- Testing requirements specific to the story's features
-- Security or performance considerations affecting the story
-
-#### 4.4 Document Source References
-
-[[LLM: ALWAYS cite the source document and section for each technical detail you include. This helps the dev agent verify information if needed.]]
-
-Format references as: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]`
-
-### 5. Verify Project Structure Alignment
-
-- Cross-reference the story's requirements and anticipated file manipulations with the Project Structure Guide from `docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md`.
-- Ensure any file paths, component locations, or module names implied by the story align with defined structures.
-- Document any structural conflicts, necessary clarifications, or undefined components/paths in a "Project Structure Notes" section within the story draft.
-
-### 6. Populate Story Template with Full Context
-
-- Create a new story file: `docs/stories/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md`.
-- Use the Story Template to structure the file.
-- Fill in:
-  - Story `{EpicNum}.{StoryNum}: {Short Title Copied from Epic File}`
-  - `Status: Draft`
-  - `Story` (User Story statement from Epic)
-  - `Acceptance Criteria (ACs)` (from Epic, to be refined if needed based on context)
-- **`Dev Technical Guidance` section (CRITICAL):**
-
-  [[LLM: This section MUST contain ONLY information extracted from the architecture shards. NEVER invent or assume technical details.]]
-
-  - Include ALL relevant technical details gathered from Steps 3 and 4, organized by category:
-    - **Previous Story Insights**: Key learnings or considerations from the previous story
-    - **Data Models**: Specific schemas, validation rules, relationships [with source references]
-    - **API Specifications**: Endpoint details, request/response formats, auth requirements [with source references]
-    - **Component Specifications**: UI component details, props, state management [with source references]
-    - **File Locations**: Exact paths where new code should be created based on project structure
-    - **Testing Requirements**: Specific test cases or strategies from testing-strategy.md
-    - **Technical Constraints**: Version requirements, performance considerations, security rules
-  - Every technical detail MUST include its source reference: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]`
-  - If information for a category is not found in the architecture docs, explicitly state: "No specific guidance found in architecture docs"
-
-- **`Tasks / Subtasks` section:**
-  - Generate a detailed, sequential list of technical tasks based ONLY on:
-    - Requirements from the Epic
-    - Technical constraints from architecture shards
-    - Project structure from unified-project-structure.md
-    - Testing requirements from testing-strategy.md
-  - Each task must reference relevant architecture documentation
-  - Include unit testing as explicit subtasks based on testing-strategy.md
-  - Link tasks to ACs where applicable (e.g., `Task 1 (AC: 1, 3)`)
-- Add notes on project structure alignment or discrepancies found in Step 5.
-- Prepare content for the "Deviation Analysis" based on any conflicts between epic requirements and architecture constraints.
-
-### 7. Run Story Draft Checklist
-
-- Execute the Story Draft Checklist against the prepared story
-- Document any issues or gaps identified
-- Make necessary adjustments to meet quality standards
-- Ensure all technical guidance is properly sourced from architecture docs
-
-### 8. Finalize Story File
-
-- Review all sections for completeness and accuracy
-- Verify all source references are included for technical details
-- Ensure tasks align with both epic requirements and architecture constraints
-- Update status to "Draft"
-- Save the story file to `docs/stories/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md`
-
-### 9. Report Completion
-
-Provide a summary to the user including:
-
-- Story created: `{epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}`
-- Status: Draft
-- Key technical components included from architecture docs
-- Any deviations or conflicts noted between epic and architecture
-- Recommendations for story review before approval
-- Next steps: Story should be reviewed by PO for approval before dev work begins
-
-[[LLM: Remember - The success of this task depends on extracting real, specific technical details from the architecture shards. The dev agent should have everything they need in the story file without having to search through multiple documents.]]
-==================== END: tasks#create-next-story ====================
-
-==================== 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.
-
-## 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

-[[LLM: populates relevant information, only what was pulled from actual artifacts from docs folder, relevant to this story. Do not invent information. Critical: If known add Relevant Source Tree info that relates to this story. If there were important notes from previous story that are relevant to this one, also include them here if it will help the dev agent. You do NOT need to repeat anything from coding standards or test standards as the dev agent is already aware of those. The dev agent should NEVER need to read the PRD or architecture documents or child documents though to complete this self contained story, because your critical mission is to share the specific items needed here extremely concisely for the Dev Agent LLM to comprehend with the least about of context overhead token usage needed.]]

-==================== END: templates#story-tmpl ====================
-
-==================== START: checklists#story-draft-checklist ====================
-# Story Draft Checklist
-
-The Scrum Master should use this checklist to validate that each story contains sufficient context for a developer agent to implement it successfully, while assuming the dev agent has reasonable capabilities to figure things out.
-
-[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - STORY DRAFT VALIDATION
-
-Before proceeding with this checklist, ensure you have access to:
-
-1. The story document being validated (usually in docs/stories/ or provided directly)
-2. The parent epic context
-3. Any referenced architecture or design documents
-4. Previous related stories if this builds on prior work
-
-IMPORTANT: This checklist validates individual stories BEFORE implementation begins.
-
-VALIDATION PRINCIPLES:
-
-1. Clarity - A developer should understand WHAT to build
-2. Context - WHY this is being built and how it fits
-3. Guidance - Key technical decisions and patterns to follow
-4. Testability - How to verify the implementation works
-5. Self-Contained - Most info needed is in the story itself
-
-REMEMBER: We assume competent developer agents who can:
-
-- Research documentation and codebases
-- Make reasonable technical decisions
-- Follow established patterns
-- Ask for clarification when truly stuck
-
-We're checking for SUFFICIENT guidance, not exhaustive detail.]]
-
-## 1. GOAL & CONTEXT CLARITY
-
-[[LLM: Without clear goals, developers build the wrong thing. Verify:
-
-1. The story states WHAT functionality to implement
-2. The business value or user benefit is clear
-3. How this fits into the larger epic/product is explained
-4. Dependencies are explicit ("requires Story X to be complete")
-5. Success looks like something specific, not vague]]
-
-- [ ] Story goal/purpose is clearly stated
-- [ ] Relationship to epic goals is evident
-- [ ] How the story fits into overall system flow is explained
-- [ ] Dependencies on previous stories are identified (if applicable)
-- [ ] Business context and value are clear
-
-## 2. TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE
-
-[[LLM: Developers need enough technical context to start coding. Check:
-
-1. Key files/components to create or modify are mentioned
-2. Technology choices are specified where non-obvious
-3. Integration points with existing code are identified
-4. Data models or API contracts are defined or referenced
-5. Non-standard patterns or exceptions are called out
-
-Note: We don't need every file listed - just the important ones.]]
-
-- [ ] Key files to create/modify are identified (not necessarily exhaustive)
-- [ ] Technologies specifically needed for this story are mentioned
-- [ ] Critical APIs or interfaces are sufficiently described
-- [ ] Necessary data models or structures are referenced
-- [ ] Required environment variables are listed (if applicable)
-- [ ] Any exceptions to standard coding patterns are noted
-
-## 3. REFERENCE EFFECTIVENESS
-
-[[LLM: References should help, not create a treasure hunt. Ensure:
-
-1. References point to specific sections, not whole documents
-2. The relevance of each reference is explained
-3. Critical information is summarized in the story
-4. References are accessible (not broken links)
-5. Previous story context is summarized if needed]]
-
-- [ ] References to external documents point to specific relevant sections
-- [ ] Critical information from previous stories is summarized (not just referenced)
-- [ ] Context is provided for why references are relevant
-- [ ] References use consistent format (e.g., `docs/filename.md#section`)
-
-## 4. SELF-CONTAINMENT ASSESSMENT
-
-[[LLM: Stories should be mostly self-contained to avoid context switching. Verify:
-
-1. Core requirements are in the story, not just in references
-2. Domain terms are explained or obvious from context
-3. Assumptions are stated explicitly
-4. Edge cases are mentioned (even if deferred)
-5. The story could be understood without reading 10 other documents]]
-
-- [ ] Core information needed is included (not overly reliant on external docs)
-- [ ] Implicit assumptions are made explicit
-- [ ] Domain-specific terms or concepts are explained
-- [ ] Edge cases or error scenarios are addressed
-
-## 5. TESTING GUIDANCE
-
-[[LLM: Testing ensures the implementation actually works. Check:
-
-1. Test approach is specified (unit, integration, e2e)
-2. Key test scenarios are listed
-3. Success criteria are measurable
-4. Special test considerations are noted
-5. Acceptance criteria in the story are testable]]
-
-- [ ] Required testing approach is outlined
-- [ ] Key test scenarios are identified
-- [ ] Success criteria are defined
-- [ ] Special testing considerations are noted (if applicable)
-
-## VALIDATION RESULT
-
-[[LLM: FINAL STORY VALIDATION REPORT
-
-Generate a concise validation report:
-
-1. Quick Summary
-
-   - Story readiness: READY / NEEDS REVISION / BLOCKED
-   - Clarity score (1-10)
-   - Major gaps identified
-
-2. Fill in the validation table with:
-
-   - PASS: Requirements clearly met
-   - PARTIAL: Some gaps but workable
-   - FAIL: Critical information missing
-
-3. Specific Issues (if any)
-
-   - List concrete problems to fix
-   - Suggest specific improvements
-   - Identify any blocking dependencies
-
-4. Developer Perspective
-   - Could YOU implement this story as written?
-   - What questions would you have?
-   - What might cause delays or rework?
-
-Be pragmatic - perfect documentation doesn't exist. Focus on whether a competent developer can succeed with this story.]]

-# 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

-# Roo Code Custom Modes for BMAD-METHOD
-
-This directory contains custom mode configurations for Roo Code to enable BMAD agent personalities.
-
-## Setup
-
-The `.roomodes` file defines all BMAD agents as custom modes using the proper `customModes:` structure. Modes are automatically available in Roo Code when you open this project.
-
-## Available Modes
-
-- **bmad-analyst** - Business Analyst
-- **bmad-architect** - Solution Architect
-- **bmad-bmad-master** - BMAD Master
-- **bmad-bmad-orchestrator** - BMAD Orchestrator
-- **bmad-dev** - Developer
-- **bmad-pm** - Product Manager
-- **bmad-po** - Product Owner
-- **bmad-qa** - QA Specialist
-- **bmad-sm** - Scrum Master
-- **bmad-ux-expert** - UX Expert
-
-## Usage
-
-In Roo Code:
-1. Open the mode selector (usually in the status bar)
-2. Select any BMAD agent mode
-3. The AI will adopt that agent's personality and expertise
-
-## File Permissions
-
-Each agent has specific file access permissions:
-- **Analysts, PM, PO, SM**: Limited to documentation files (.md, .txt)
-- **Architect**: Architecture docs and configs (.md, .txt, .yml, .yaml, .json)
-- **QA**: Test files and documentation
-- **UX Expert**: Design-related files (.md, .css, .scss, .html, .jsx, .tsx)
-- **Developer, Orchestrator, Master**: Full edit access to all files

+
 Please only propose small granular commits! If its large or significant, please discuss in the discussions tab and open up an issue first. I do not want you to waste your time on a potentially very large PR to have it rejected because it is not aligned or deviates from other planned changes. Communicate and lets work together to build and improve this great community project!
 
+**Important**: All contributions must align with our [Guiding Principles](GUIDING-PRINCIPLES.md). Key points:
+
+- Keep dev agents lean - they need context for coding, not documentation
+- Web/planning agents can be larger with more complex tasks
+- Everything is natural language (markdown) - no code in core framework
+- Use expansion packs for domain-specific features
+
+#### Which Branch for Your PR?
+
+**Submit to `next` branch** (most contributions):
+
+- ✨ New features or agents
+- 🎨 Enhancements to existing features
+- 📚 Documentation updates
+- ♻️ Code refactoring
+- ⚡ Performance improvements
+- 🧪 New tests
+- 🎁 New expansion packs
+
+**Submit to `main` branch** (critical only):
+
+- 🚨 Critical bug fixes that break basic functionality
+- 🔒 Security patches
+- 📚 Fixing dangerously incorrect documentation
+- 🐛 Bugs preventing installation or basic usage
+
+**When in doubt, submit to `next`**. We'd rather test changes thoroughly before they hit stable.
+
+#### PR Size Guidelines
+
+- **Ideal PR size**: 200-400 lines of code changes
+- **Maximum PR size**: 800 lines (excluding generated files)
+- **One feature/fix per PR**: Each PR should address a single issue or add one feature
+- **If your change is larger**: Break it into multiple smaller PRs that can be reviewed independently
+- **Related changes**: Even related changes should be separate PRs if they deliver independent value
+
+#### Breaking Down Large PRs
+
+If your change exceeds 800 lines, use this checklist to split it:
+
+- [ ] Can I separate the refactoring from the feature implementation?
+- [ ] Can I introduce the new API/interface in one PR and implementation in another?
+- [ ] Can I split by file or module?
+- [ ] Can I create a base PR with shared utilities first?
+- [ ] Can I separate test additions from implementation?
+- [ ] Even if changes are related, can they deliver value independently?
+- [ ] Can these changes be merged in any order without breaking things?
+
+Example breakdown:
+
+1. PR #1: Add utility functions and types (100 lines)
+2. PR #2: Refactor existing code to use utilities (200 lines)
+3. PR #3: Implement new feature using refactored code (300 lines)
+4. PR #4: Add comprehensive tests (200 lines)
+
+**Note**: PRs #1 and #4 could be submitted simultaneously since they deliver independent value and don't depend on each other's merge order.

+## Issue Templates
+
+We use GitHub issue templates to ensure all necessary information is provided:
+
+- **Bug Reports**: Automatically guides you through providing reproduction steps, environment details, and expected behavior
+- **Feature Requests**: Requires Discord discussion confirmation and asks for problem/solution descriptions

+### PR Description Template
+
+Keep your PR description concise and focused. Use this template:

+>   **Testing:** Tested with circular deps between 3 agents
+
 ## Commit Message Convention
 
-PRs with a wall of AI Generated marketing hype that is unclear in what is being proposed will be closed and rejected. Your best change to contribute is with a small clear PR description explaining, what is the issue being solved or gap in the system being filled. Also explain how it leads to the core guiding principles of the project.

+- `test:` Adding missing tests
+- `chore:` Changes to build process or auxiliary tools
+
+Keep commit messages under 72 characters.

+# BMad Method Guiding Principles
+
+The BMad Method is a natural language framework for AI-assisted software development. These principles ensure contributions maintain the method's effectiveness.
+
+## Core Principles
+
+### 1. Dev Agents Must Be Lean
+
+- **Minimize dev agent dependencies**: Development agents that work in IDEs must have minimal context overhead
+- **Save context for code**: Every line counts - dev agents should focus on coding, not documentation
+- **Web agents can be larger**: Planning agents (PRD Writer, Architect) used in web UI can have more complex tasks and dependencies
+- **Small files, loaded on demand**: Multiple small, focused files are better than large files with many branches
+
+### 2. Natural Language First
+
+- **Everything is markdown**: Agents, tasks, templates - all written in plain English
+- **No code in core**: The framework itself contains no programming code, only natural language instructions
+- **Self-contained templates**: Templates include their own generation instructions using `[[LLM: ...]]` markup
+
+### 3. Agent and Task Design
+
+- **Agents define roles**: Each agent is a persona with specific expertise (e.g., Frontend Developer, API Developer)
+- **Tasks are procedures**: Step-by-step instructions an agent follows to complete work
+- **Templates are outputs**: Structured documents with embedded instructions for generation
+- **Dependencies matter**: Explicitly declare only what's needed
+
+## Practical Guidelines
+
+### When to Add to Core
+
+- Universal software development needs only
+- Doesn't bloat dev agent contexts
+- Follows existing agent/task/template patterns
+
+### When to Create Expansion Packs

+- Domain-specific needs beyond software development
+- Non-technical domains (business, wellness, education, creative)
+- Specialized technical domains (games, infrastructure, mobile)
+- Heavy documentation or knowledge bases
+- Anything that would bloat core agents

+
+### Agent Design Rules
+
+1. **Web/Planning Agents**: Can have richer context, multiple tasks, extensive templates
+2. **Dev Agents**: Minimal dependencies, focused on code generation, lean task sets
+3. **All Agents**: Clear persona, specific expertise, well-defined capabilities
+
+### Task Writing Rules
+
+1. Write clear step-by-step procedures
+2. Use markdown formatting for readability
+3. Keep dev agent tasks focused and concise
+4. Planning tasks can be more elaborate
+5. **Prefer multiple small tasks over one large branching task**
+   - Instead of one task with many conditional paths
+   - Create multiple focused tasks the agent can choose from
+   - This keeps context overhead minimal
+6. **Reuse common tasks** - Don't create new document creation tasks
+   - Use the existing `create-doc` task
+   - Pass the appropriate template with embedded LLM instructions
+   - This maintains consistency and reduces duplication
+
+### Template Rules
+
+1. Include generation instructions with `[[LLM: ...]]` markup
+2. Provide clear structure for output
+3. Make templates reusable across agents
+4. Use standardized markup elements:
+   - `{{placeholders}}` for variables to be replaced
+   - `[[LLM: instructions]]` for AI-only processing (never shown to users)
+   - `REPEAT` sections for repeatable content blocks
+   - `^^CONDITION^^` blocks for conditional content
+   - `@{examples}` for guidance examples (never output to users)
+5. NEVER display template markup or LLM instructions to users
+6. Focus on clean output - all processing instructions stay internal
+
+## Remember
+
+- The power is in natural language orchestration, not code
+- Dev agents code, planning agents plan
+- Keep dev agents lean for maximum coding efficiency
+- Expansion packs handle specialized domains

+## Important: Keep Your BMad Installation Updated
+
+**Stay up-to-date effortlessly!** If you already have BMad-METHOD installed in your project, simply run:
+
+```bash
 npx bmad-method install
-# The installer will automatically detect your project state and guide you through:
-# - Fresh installation or upgrade from v3
-# - Full installation or single agent
-# - Destination folder and IDE configuration
-```text
+# OR
+git pull
+npm run install:bmad
+```
 
-This installs all agents and configures them for your IDE. If you have an existing v3 installation, it will offer to upgrade it automatically.
+This will:
 
-## 📋 Table of Contents
+- ✅ Automatically detect your existing v4 installation
+- ✅ Update only the files that have changed and add new files
+- ✅ Create `.bak` backup files for any custom modifications you've made
+- ✅ Preserve your project-specific configurations
 
-- [Overview](#overview)
-- [Installation](#installation)
-- [Available Agents](#available-agents)
-- [Usage](#usage)
-- [Project Structure](#project-structure)
-- [Contributing](#contributing)
+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.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### One Command for Everything (IDE Installation)
+
+**Just run one of these commands:**
+
+```bash
+npx bmad-method install
+# OR if you already have BMad installed:
+git pull
+npm run install:bmad
+```
+
+This single command handles:
+
+- **New installations** - Sets up BMad in your project
+- **Upgrades** - Updates existing installations automatically
+- **Expansion packs** - Installs any expansion packs you've added to package.json
+
+> **That's it!** Whether you're installing for the first time, upgrading, or adding expansion packs - these commands do everything.
+
+**Prerequisites**: [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20+ required
+
+### Fastest Start: Web UI (2 minutes)
+
+1. **Get the bundle**: Copy `dist/teams/team-fullstack.txt` (from this repository)
+2. **Create AI agent**: Create a new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT
+3. **Upload & configure**: Upload the file and set instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
+4. **Start Ideating and Planning**: Start chatting! Type `*help` to see available commands or pick an agent like `*analyst` to start right in on creating a brief.
+
+> **All pre-built bundles are in the `dist/` folder** - ready to copy and use immediately!
+
+### Alternative: Clone and Build
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/bmadcode/bmad-method.git
+npm run install:bmad # build and install all to a destination folder
+```
 
 ## 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, and Windsurf
-- **🌐 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.

+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.

+### Advanced Elicitation
 
-We welcome contributions!
+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.

+## Contributing
+
+**We're excited about contributions and welcome your ideas, improvements, and expansion packs!** 🎉
+
+### Before Contributing - MUST READ
+
+To ensure your contribution aligns with the BMad Method and gets merged smoothly:
+
+1. 📋 **Read [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)** - Our contribution guidelines, PR requirements, and process
+2. 🎯 **Read [GUIDING-PRINCIPLES.md](GUIDING-PRINCIPLES.md)** - Core principles that keep BMAD powerful through simplicity
+3. 🆕 **New to GitHub?** Start with our [Pull Request Guide](docs/how-to-contribute-with-pull-requests.md)
+
+### Key Points to Remember
+
+- Keep dev agents lean (save context for coding!)
+- Use small, focused files over large branching ones
+- Reuse existing tasks (like `create-doc`) instead of creating duplicates
+- Consider expansion packs for domain-specific features and not improvements to the core system (those belong in the core system)
+- All contributions must follow our natural language, markdown-based templating approach with template embedded LLM instructions and elicitations
+
+We're building something amazing together - let's keep it simple, powerful, and focused! 💪
+

+# BMAD Knowledge Base
+
+## Overview
+
+BMAD-METHOD (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-driven Development) is a framework that combines AI agents with Agile development methodologies. The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role
+- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization
+- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs
+- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists
+- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control
+
+### When to Use BMAD
+
+- **New Projects (Greenfield)**: Complete end-to-end development
+- **Existing Projects (Brownfield)**: Feature additions and enhancements
+- **Team Collaboration**: Multiple roles working together
+- **Quality Assurance**: Structured testing and validation
+- **Documentation**: Professional PRDs, architecture docs, user stories
+
+## How BMAD Works
+
+### The Core Method
+
+BMAD transforms you into a "Vibe CEO" - directing a team of specialized AI agents through structured workflows. Here's how:
+
+1. **You Direct, AI Executes**: You provide vision and decisions; agents handle implementation details
+2. **Specialized Agents**: Each agent masters one role (PM, Developer, Architect, etc.)
+3. **Structured Workflows**: Proven patterns guide you from idea to deployed code
+4. **Clean Handoffs**: Fresh context windows ensure agents stay focused and effective
+
+### The Two-Phase Approach
+
+**Phase 1: Planning (Web UI - Cost Effective)**
+- Use large context windows (Gemini's 1M tokens)
+- Generate comprehensive documents (PRD, Architecture)
+- Leverage multiple agents for brainstorming
+- Create once, use throughout development
+
+**Phase 2: Development (IDE - Implementation)**
+- Shard documents into manageable pieces
+- Execute focused SM → Dev cycles
+- One story at a time, sequential progress
+- Real-time file operations and testing
+
+### The Development Loop
+
+```text
+1. SM Agent (New Chat) → Creates next story from sharded docs
+2. You → Review and approve story
+3. Dev Agent (New Chat) → Implements approved story
+4. QA Agent (New Chat) → Reviews and refactors code
+5. You → Verify completion
+6. Repeat until epic complete
+```
+
+### Why This Works
+
+- **Context Optimization**: Clean chats = better AI performance
+- **Role Clarity**: Agents don't context-switch = higher quality
+- **Incremental Progress**: Small stories = manageable complexity
+- **Human Oversight**: You validate each step = quality control
+- **Document-Driven**: Specs guide everything = consistency
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Quick Start Options
+
+#### Option 1: Web UI
+**Best for**: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini users who want to start immediately
+
+1. Navigate to `dist/teams/`
+2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt` content
+3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT
+4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
+5. Type `/help` to see available commands
+
+#### Option 2: IDE Integration
+**Best for**: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, VS Code Copilot users
+
+```bash
+# Interactive installation (recommended)
+npx bmad-method install
+```
+
+**Installation Steps**:
+- Choose "Complete installation"
+- Select your IDE from supported options:
+  - **Cursor**: Native AI integration
+  - **Claude Code**: Anthropic's official IDE
+  - **Windsurf**: Built-in AI capabilities
+  - **Cline**: VS Code extension with AI features
+  - **Roo Code**: Web-based IDE with agent support
+  - **VS Code Copilot**: AI-powered coding assistant
+
+**Note for VS Code Users**: BMAD-METHOD assumes when you mention "VS Code" that you're using it with an AI-powered extension like GitHub Copilot, Cline, or Roo. Standard VS Code without AI capabilities cannot run BMAD agents. The installer includes built-in support for Cline and Roo.
+
+**Verify Installation**:
+- `.bmad-core/` folder created with all agents
+- IDE-specific integration files created
+- All agent commands/rules/modes available
+
+**Remember**: At its core, BMAD-METHOD is about mastering and harnessing prompt engineering. Any IDE with AI agent support can use BMAD - the framework provides the structured prompts and workflows that make AI development effective
+
+### Environment Selection Guide
+
+**Use Web UI for**:
+- Initial planning and documentation (PRD, architecture)
+- Cost-effective document creation (especially with Gemini)
+- Brainstorming and analysis phases
+- Multi-agent consultation and planning
+
+**Use IDE for**:
+- Active development and coding
+- File operations and project integration
+- Document sharding and story management
+- Implementation workflow (SM/Dev cycles)
+
+**Cost-Saving Tip**: Create large documents (PRDs, architecture) in web UI, then copy to `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` in your project before switching to IDE for development.
+
+### IDE-Only Workflow Considerations
+
+**Can you do everything in IDE?** Yes, but understand the tradeoffs:
+
+**Pros of IDE-Only**:
+- Single environment workflow
+- Direct file operations from start
+- No copy/paste between environments
+- Immediate project integration
+
+**Cons of IDE-Only**:
+- Higher token costs for large document creation
+- Smaller context windows (varies by IDE/model)
+- May hit limits during planning phases
+- Less cost-effective for brainstorming
+
+**Using Web Agents in IDE**:
+- **NOT RECOMMENDED**: Web agents (PM, Architect) have rich dependencies designed for large contexts
+- **Why it matters**: Dev agents are kept lean to maximize coding context
+- **The principle**: "Dev agents code, planning agents plan" - mixing breaks this optimization
+
+**About bmad-master and bmad-orchestrator**:
+- **bmad-master**: CAN do any task without switching agents, BUT...
+- **Still use specialized agents for planning**: PM, Architect, and UX Expert have tuned personas that produce better results
+- **Why specialization matters**: Each agent's personality and focus creates higher quality outputs
+- **If using bmad-master/orchestrator**: Fine for planning phases, but...
+
+**CRITICAL RULE for Development**:
+- **ALWAYS use SM agent for story creation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator
+- **ALWAYS use Dev agent for implementation** - Never use bmad-master/orchestrator
+- **Why this matters**: SM and Dev agents are specifically optimized for the development workflow
+- **No exceptions**: Even if using bmad-master for everything else, switch to SM → Dev for implementation
+
+**Best Practice for IDE-Only**:
+1. Use PM/Architect/UX agents for planning (better than bmad-master)
+2. Create documents directly in project
+3. Shard immediately after creation
+4. **MUST switch to SM agent** for story creation
+5. **MUST switch to Dev agent** for implementation
+6. Keep planning and coding in separate chat sessions
+
+## Core Configuration (core-config.yaml)
+
+**New in V4**: The `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical innovation that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, providing maximum flexibility and backwards compatibility.
+
+### What is core-config.yaml?
+
+This configuration file acts as a map for BMAD agents, telling them exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It enables:
+
+- **Version Flexibility**: Work with V3, V4, or custom document structures
+- **Custom Locations**: Define where your documents and shards live
+- **Developer Context**: Specify which files the dev agent should always load
+- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting
+
+### Key Configuration Areas
+
+#### PRD Configuration
+- **prdVersion**: Tells agents if PRD follows v3 or v4 conventions
+- **prdSharded**: Whether epics are embedded (false) or in separate files (true)
+- **prdShardedLocation**: Where to find sharded epic files
+- **epicFilePattern**: Pattern for epic filenames (e.g., `epic-{n}*.md`)
+
+#### Architecture Configuration
+- **architectureVersion**: v3 (monolithic) or v4 (sharded)
+- **architectureSharded**: Whether architecture is split into components
+- **architectureShardedLocation**: Where sharded architecture files live
+
+#### Developer Files
+- **devLoadAlwaysFiles**: List of files the dev agent loads for every task
+- **devDebugLog**: Where dev agent logs repeated failures
+- **agentCoreDump**: Export location for chat conversations
+
+### Why It Matters
+
+1. **No Forced Migrations**: Keep your existing document structure
+2. **Gradual Adoption**: Start with V3 and migrate to V4 at your pace
+3. **Custom Workflows**: Configure BMAD to match your team's process
+4. **Intelligent Agents**: Agents automatically adapt to your configuration
+
+### Common Configurations
+
+**Legacy V3 Project**:
+```yaml
+prdVersion: v3
+prdSharded: false
+architectureVersion: v3
+architectureSharded: false
+```
+
+**V4 Optimized Project**:
+```yaml
+prdVersion: v4
+prdSharded: true
+prdShardedLocation: docs/prd
+architectureVersion: v4
+architectureSharded: true
+architectureShardedLocation: docs/architecture
+```
+
+## Core Philosophy
+
+### Vibe CEO'ing
+
+You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to:
+
+- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives
+- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality
+- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents
+
+### Core Principles
+
+1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate.
+2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs.
+3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment.
+4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process.
+5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs.
+6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs.
+7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand.
+8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges.
+
+### Key Workflow Principles
+
+1. **Agent Specialization**: Each agent has specific expertise and responsibilities
+2. **Clean Handoffs**: Always start fresh when switching between agents
+3. **Status Tracking**: Maintain story statuses (Draft → Approved → InProgress → Done)
+4. **Iterative Development**: Complete one story before starting the next
+5. **Documentation First**: Always start with solid PRD and architecture
+

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