+# Agents
+
+Agents are AI assistants that help you accomplish tasks. Each agent has a unique personality, specialized capabilities, and an interactive menu.
+
+## Agent Types
+
+BMAD has two primary agent types, designed for different use cases:
+
+### Simple Agents
+
+**Self-contained, focused, ready to use.**
+
+Simple agents are complete in a single file. They excel at well-defined tasks and require minimal setup.
+
+**Best for:**
+- Single-purpose assistants (code review, documentation, commit messages)
+- Quick deployment
+- Projects that don't require persistent memory
+- Getting started fast
+
+**Example:** A commit message agent that reads your git diff and generates conventional commits.
+
+### Expert Agents
+
+**Powerful, memory-equipped, domain specialists.**
+
+Expert agents have a **sidecar** - a companion folder containing additional instructions, workflows, and memory files. They remember context across sessions and handle complex, multi-step tasks.
+
+**Best for:**
+- Domain specialists (security architect, game designer, product manager)
+- Tasks requiring persistent memory
+- Complex workflows with multiple stages
+- Projects that grow over time
+
+**Example:** A game architect that remembers your design decisions, maintains consistency across sprints, and coordinates with other specialists.
+
+## Key Differences
+
+| Feature          | Simple         | Expert                     |
+| ---------------- | -------------- | -------------------------- |
+| **Files**        | Single file    | Agent + sidecar folder     |
+| **Memory**       | Session only   | Persistent across sessions |
+| **Capabilities** | Focused scope  | Multi-domain, extensible   |
+| **Setup**        | Zero config    | Sidecar initialization     |
+| **Best Use**     | Specific tasks | Ongoing projects           |
+
+## Agent Components
+
+All agents share these building blocks:
+
+### Persona
+- **Role** - What the agent does (expertise domain)
+- **Identity** - Who the agent is (personality, character)
+- **Communication Style** - How the agent speaks (tone, voice)
+- **Principles** - Why the agent acts (values, decision framework)
+
+### Capabilities
+- Skills, tools, and knowledge the agent can apply
+- Mapped to specific menu commands
+
+### Menu
+- Interactive command list
+- Triggers, descriptions, and handlers
+- Auto-includes help and exit options
+
+### Critical Actions (optional)
+- Instructions that execute before the agent starts
+- Enable autonomous behaviors (e.g., "check git status before changes")
+
+## Which Should You Use?
+
+**Choose Simple when:**
+- You need a task done quickly and reliably
+- The scope is well-defined and won't change much
+- You don't need the agent to remember things between sessions
+
+**Choose Expert when:**
+- You're building something complex over time
+- The agent needs to maintain context (project history, decisions)
+- You want the agent to coordinate workflows or other agents
+- Domain expertise requires specialized knowledge bases
+
+## Creating Custom Agents
+
+BMAD provides the **BMAD Builder (BMB)** module for creating your own agents. See the [Agent Creation Guide](../modules/bmb-bmad-builder/agent-creation-guide.md) for step-by-step instructions.
+
+## Customizing Existing Agents
+
+You can modify any agent's behavior without editing core files. See [BMAD Customization](./bmad-customization/) for details. It is critical to never modify an installed agents .md file directly and follow the customization process, this way future updates to the agent or module its part of will continue to be updated and recompiled with the installer tool, and your customizations will still be retained.

+
+**Next:** Learn about [Workflows](./workflows.md) to see how agents accomplish complex tasks.

+# BMad v4 to v6 Upgrade Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+BMad v6 represents a complete ground-up rewrite with significant architectural changes. This guide will help you migrate your v4 project to v6.
+
+---
+
+## Automatic V4 Detection
+
+When you run `npm run install:bmad` on a project, the installer automatically detects:
+
+- **Legacy v4 installation folder**: `.bmad-method`
+- **IDE command artifacts**: Legacy bmad folders in IDE configuration directories (`.claude/commands/`, `.cursor/commands/`, etc.)
+
+### What Happens During Detection
+
+1. **Automatic Detection of v4 Modules**
+   1. Installer will suggest removal or backup of your .bmad-method folder. You can choose to exit the installer and handle this cleanup, or allow the install to continue. Technically you can have both v4 and v6 installed, but it is not recommended. All BMad content and modules will be installed under a .bmad folder, fully segregated.
+
+2. **IDE Command Cleanup Recommended**: Legacy v4 IDE commands should be manually removed
+   - Located in IDE config folders, for example claude: `.claude/commands/BMad/agents`, `.claude/commands/BMad/tasks`, etc.
+   - NOTE: if the upgrade and install of v6 finished, the new commands will be under `.claude/commands/bmad/<module>/agents|workflows`
+   - Note 2: If you accidentally delete the wrong/new bmad commands - you can easily restore them by rerunning the installer, and choose quick update option, and all will be reapplied properly.
+
+## Module Migration
+
+### Deprecated Modules from v4
+
+| v4 Module                     | v6 Status                                      |
+| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| `_bmad-2d-phaser-game-dev`    | Integrated into new BMGD Module                |
+| `_bmad-2d-unity-game-dev`     | Integrated into new BMGD Module                |
+| `_bmad-godot-game-dev`        | Integrated into new BMGD Module                |
+| `_bmad-*-game-dev` (any)      | Integrated into new BMGD Module                |
+| `_bmad-infrastructure-devops` | Deprecated - New core devops agent coming soon |
+| `_bmad-creative-writing`      | Not adapted - New v6 module coming soon        |
+
+Aside from .bmad-method - if you have any of these others installed also, again its recommended to remove them and use the V6 equivalents, but its also fine if you decide to keep both. But it is not recommended to use both on the same project long term.
+
+## Architecture Changes

+
+### Key Concept Changes
+
+- **v4 `_bmad-core and _bmad-method`**: Was actually the BMad Method
+- **v6 `_bmad/core/`**: Is the real universal core framework
+- **v6 `_bmad/bmm/`**: Is the BMad Method module
+- **Module identification**: All modules now have a `config.yaml` file once installed at the root of the modules installed folder
+
+## Project Progress Migration
+
+### If You've Completed Some or all Planning Phases (Brief/PRD/UX/Architecture) with the BMad Method:
+
+After running the v6 installer, if you kept the paths the same as the installation suggested, you will need to move a few files, or run the installer again. It is recommended to stick with these defaults as it will be easier to adapt if things change in the future.
+
+If you have any planning artifacts, put them in a folder called _bmad-output/planning-artifacts at the root of your project, ensuring that:
+PRD has PRD in the file name or folder name if sharded.
+Similar for 'brief', 'architecture', 'ux-design'.
+
+If you have other long term docs that will not be as ephemeral as these project docs, you can put them in the /docs folder, ideally with a index.md file.
+
+HIGHLY RECOMMENDED NOTE: If you are only partway through planning, its highly recommended to restart and do the PRD, UX and ARCHITECTURE steps. You could even use your existing documents as inputs letting the agent know you want to redo them with the new workflows. These optimized v6 progressive discovery workflows that also will utilize web search at key moments, while offering better advanced elicitation and part mode in the IDE will produce superior results. And then once all are complete, an epics with stories is generated after the architecture step now - ensuring it uses input from all planing documents.
+
+### If You're Mid-Development (Stories Created/Implemented)
+
+1. Complete the v6 installation as above
+2. Ensure you have a file called epics.md or epics/epic*.md - these need to be located under the _bmad-output/planning-artifacts folder.
+3. Run the scrum masters `sprint-planning` workflow to generate the implementation tracking plan in _bmad-output/implementation-artifacts.
+4. Inform the SM after the output is complete which epics and stories were completed already and should be parked properly in the file.
+
+## Agent Customization Migration
+
+### v4 Agent Customization
+
+In v4, you may have modified agent files directly in `_bmad-*` folders.
+
+### v6 Agent Customization
+
+**All customizations** now go in `_bmad/_config/agents/` using customize files:
+
+**Example: Renaming an agent and changing communication style**
+
+File: `_bmad/_config/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml`
+
+```yaml
+# Customize the PM agent
+persona:
+  name: 'Captain Jack' # Override agent name
+  role: 'Swashbuckling Product Owner'
+  communication_style: |
+    - Talk like a pirate
+    - Use nautical metaphors for software concepts
+    - Always upbeat and adventurous
+```
+
+There is a lot more that is possible with agent customization, which is covered in detail in the [Agent Customization Guide](../bmad-customization/agents.md)
+
+CRITICAL NOTE: After you modify the customization file, you need to run the npx installer against your installed location, and choose the option to rebuild all agents, or just do a quick update again. This always builds agents fresh and applies customizations.
+
+**How it works:**
+
+- Base agent: `_bmad/bmm/agents/pm.md`
+- Customization: `_bmad/_config/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml`
+- Rebuild all agents -> Result: Agent uses your custom name and style
+
+## Document Compatibility
+
+### Sharded vs Unsharded Documents
+
+**Good news**: Unlike v4, v6 workflows are **fully flexible** with document structure:
+
+- ✅ Sharded documents (split into multiple files)
+- ✅ Unsharded documents (single file per section)
+- ✅ Custom sections for your project type
+- ✅ Mixed approaches
+
+All workflow files are scanned automatically. No manual configuration needed.

+# Web Bundles
+
+Use BMAD agents in Gemini Gems and Custom GPTs.
+
+## Status
+
+> **Note:** The Web Bundling Feature is being rebuilt from the ground up. Current v6 bundles may be incomplete or missing functionality.
+
+## What Are Web Bundles?
+
+Web bundles package BMad agents as self-contained files that work in Gemini Gems and Custom GPTs. Everything the agent needs - instructions, workflows, dependencies - is bundled into a single file for easy upload.
+
+### What's Included
+
+- Complete agent persona and instructions
+- All workflows and dependencies
+- Interactive menu system
+- Party mode for multi-agent collaboration
+- No external files required
+
+### Use Cases
+
+**Perfect for:**
+- Uploading a single file to a Gemini GEM or Custom GPT
+- Using BMAD Method from the Web
+- Cost savings (generally lower cost than local usage)
+- Quick sharing of agent configurations
+
+**Trade-offs:**
+- Some quality reduction vs local usage
+- Less convenient than full local installation
+- Limited to agent capabilities (no workflow file access)

+# Workflows
+
+Workflows are structured processes that guide agents through complex tasks. Think of them as recipes that ensure consistent, high-quality outcomes.
+
+## What is a Workflow?
+
+A workflow is a step-by-step process that agents follow to accomplish specific objectives. A workflow can be a single file if small enough, but more than likely is comprized of a very small workflow or skill definition file with multiple steps and data files that are loaded as needed on demand. Each step file:
+
+- Defines a clear goal
+- Provides instructions for the agent
+- May include decision points or user interactions
+- Produces specific outputs
+- Progressively at a specific point can load the next proper step.
+
+## How Workflows Work
+
+```
+┌─────────────┐    ┌─────────────┐    ┌─────────────┐    ┌─────────────┐
+│   Step 1    │ →  │   Step 2    │ →  │   Step 3    │ →  │  Complete   │
+│  Discover   │    │   Define    │    │   Build     │    │   Output    │
+└─────────────┘    └─────────────┘    └─────────────┘    └─────────────┘
+```
+
+**Key characteristics:**
+- **Progressive** - Each step builds on the previous
+- **Interactive** - Workflows can pause for user input
+- **Reusable** - The same workflow produces consistent results
+- **Composable** - Workflow steps can call other workflow steps, or whole other workflows!
+- **LLM Reinforcement** - Some rules or info is repeated in each step file ensuring certain rules are always top of agent mind, even during context heavy processes or very long workflows!
+
+## Workflow Types
+
+### Planning Workflows
+
+Generate project artifacts like requirements, architecture, and task breakdowns.
+
+**Examples:** Brief creation, PRD authoring, architecture design, sprint planning
+
+### Execution Workflows
+
+Guide implementation of specific tasks or features.
+
+**Examples:** Code implementation, code review, testing, deployment
+
+### Support Workflows
+
+Handle cross-cutting concerns and creative processes.
+
+**Examples:** Brainstorming, retrospectives, root cause analysis
+
+## Progressive Disclosure
+
+BMAD workflows use **progressive disclosure** - each step only knows about its immediate next step and what it is currently meant to do. This:
+
+- Reduces cognitive load on the AI
+- Ensures each step gets full attention
+- Allows for conditional routing based on previous outcomes
+- Makes workflows easier to debug and modify
+
+## Menu-Driven Interaction
+
+Most workflows use interactive menus with standard options:
+
+| Option           | Purpose                                            |
+| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| **[A] Advanced** | Invoke deeper reasoning techniques                 |
+| **[P] Party**    | Get multiple agent perspectives                    |
+| **[C] Continue** | Proceed to next step after all writes are complete |
+
+## Workflow Files
+
+Workflows are markdown files with structured frontmatter - this front matter also allows them to easily work as skills and also slash command loaded:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: 'my-workflow'
+description: 'What this workflow does and when it should be used or loaded automatically (or call out if it should be requested to run explicitly by the user)'
+---
+```
+
+The content in the workflow file is very minimal, sets up the reinforcement of the agent persona and reminder that it is a facilitator working with a user, lays out rules of processing steps only when told to do a specific step, loads all config file variables needed by the workflow, and then routes to step 1. No other info about other steps should be in this workflow file. Keeping it as small and lean as possible help in compilation as a skill, as overall size of the skill main file (workflow.md) is critical to keep small.
+
+## Creating Custom Workflows
+
+The **BMAD Builder (BMB)** module includes workflows for creating custom workflows. See [BMB Documentation](../modules/bmb-bmad-builder/) for details.
+
+---
+
+**Next:** Learn about [Modules](./modules.md) to see how agents and workflows are organized.

-# Custom Agent Installation
-
-BMAD agents and workflows are now installed through the main CLI installer using a `custom.yaml` configuration file or by having an installer file.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-Create a `custom.yaml` file in the root of your agent/workflow folder:
-
-```yaml
-code: my-custom-agent
-name: 'My Custom Agent'
-default_selected: true
-```
-
-Then run the BMAD installer from your project directory:
-
-```bash
-npx bmad-method install
-```
-
-Or if you have bmad-cli installed globally:
-
-```bash
-bmad install
-```
-
-## Installation Methods
-
-### Method 1: Stand-alone Folder with custom.yaml
-
-Place your agent or workflow in a folder with a `custom.yaml` file at the root:
-
-```
-my-agent/
-├── custom.yaml      # Required configuration file
-├── my-agent.agent.yaml
-└── sidecar/         # Optional
-    └── instructions.md
-```
-
-### Method 2: Installer File
-
-For more complex installations, include an `installer.js` or `installer.yaml` file in your agent/workflow folder:
-
-```
-my-workflow/
-├── workflow.md
-└── installer.yaml   # Custom installation logic
-```
-
-## What It Does
-
-1. **Discovers** available agents and workflows from folders with `custom.yaml`
-2. **Installs** to your project's `.bmad/custom/` directory
-3. **Creates** IDE commands for all your configured IDEs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.)
-4. **Registers** the agent/workflow in the BMAD system
-
-## Example custom.yaml
-
-```yaml
-code: my-custom-agent
-name: 'My Custom Agent'
-default_selected: true
-```
-
-## Installing Reference Agents
-
-The BMAD source includes example agents you can install. **You must copy them to your project first.**
-
-### Step 1: Copy the Agent Template
-
-**For simple agents** (single file):
-
-```bash
-# From your project root
-mkdir -p .bmad/custom/agents/my-agent
-cp node_modules/bmad-method/src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/stand-alone/commit-poet.agent.yaml \
-   .bmad/custom/agents/my-agent/
-```
-
-**For expert agents** (folder with sidecar files):
-
-```bash
-# Copy the entire folder
-cp -r node_modules/bmad-method/src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/agent-with-memory/journal-keeper \
-   .bmad/custom/agents/
-```
-
-### Step 2: Create custom.yaml
-
-```bash
-# In the agent folder, create custom.yaml
-cat > .bmad/custom/agents/my-agent/custom.yaml << EOF
-code: my-agent
-name: "My Custom Agent"
-default_selected: true
-EOF
-```
-
-### Step 3: Install
-
-```bash
-npx bmad-method install
-# or: bmad install (if BMAD installed locally)
-```
-
-The installer will:
-
-1. Find the agent with its `custom.yaml`
-2. Install it to the appropriate location
-3. Create IDE commands for immediate use
-
-### Available Reference Agents
-
-**Simple (standalone file):**
-
-- `commit-poet.agent.yaml` - Commit message artisan with style preferences
-
-**Expert (folder with sidecar):**
-
-- `journal-keeper/` - Personal journal companion with memory and pattern recognition
-
-Find these in the BMAD source:
-
-```
-src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/
-├── stand-alone/
-│   └── commit-poet.agent.yaml
-└── agent-with-memory/
-    └── journal-keeper/
-        ├── journal-keeper.agent.yaml
-        └── journal-keeper-sidecar/
-```
-
-## Creating Your Own
-
-Use the BMB agent builder to craft your agents. Once ready to use, place your `.agent.yaml` files or folders with `custom.yaml` in `.bmad/custom/agents/` or `.bmad/custom/workflows/`.

-## What is Document Sharding?
-
-Document sharding splits large markdown files into smaller, organized files based on level 2 headings (`## Heading`). This enables:
-
-- **Selective Loading** - Workflows load only the sections they need
-- **Reduced Token Usage** - Massive efficiency gains for large projects
-- **Better Organization** - Logical section-based file structure
-- **Maintained Context** - Index file preserves document structure
-
-### Architecture
-
-```
-Before Sharding:
-docs/
-└── PRD.md (large 50k token file)
-
-After Sharding:
-docs/
-└── prd/
-    ├── index.md                    # Table of contents with descriptions
-    ├── overview.md                 # Section 1

-    └── ...                         # Additional sections
-```
-
-## When to Use Sharding
-
-### Ideal Candidates
-
-**Large Multi-Epic Projects:**
-
-- Very large complex PRDs
-- Architecture documents with multiple system layers
-- Epic files with 4+ epics (especially for Phase 4)
-- UX design specs covering multiple subsystems
-
-**Token Thresholds:**
-
-- **Consider sharding**: Documents > 20k tokens
-- **Strongly recommended**: Documents > 40k tokens
-- **Critical for efficiency**: Documents > 60k tokens
-
-### When NOT to Shard
-
-**Small Projects:**
-
-- Single epic projects
-- Level 0-1 projects (tech-spec only)
-- Documents under 10k tokens
-- Quick prototypes
-
-**Frequently Updated Docs:**
-
-- Active work-in-progress documents
-- Documents updated daily
-- Documents where whole-file context is essential
-
-## How Sharding Works
-
-### Sharding Process
-
-1. **Tool Execution**: Run `npx @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser source.md destination/` - this is abstracted with the core shard-doc task which is installed as a slash command or manual task rule depending on your tools.
-2. **Section Extraction**: Tool splits by level 2 headings
-3. **File Creation**: Each section becomes a separate file
-4. **Index Generation**: `index.md` created with structure and descriptions
-
-### Workflow Discovery
-
-BMad workflows use a **dual discovery system**:
-
-1. **Try whole document first** - Look for `document-name.md`
-2. **Check for sharded version** - Look for `document-name/index.md`
-3. **Priority rule** - Whole document takes precedence if both exist
-
-### Loading Strategies
-
-**Full Load (Phase 1-3 workflows):**
-
-```
-If sharded:
-  - Read index.md
-  - Read ALL section files
-  - Treat as single combined document
-```
-
-**Selective Load (Phase 4 workflows):**
-
-```
-If sharded epics and working on Epic 3:
-  - Read epics/index.md
-  - Load ONLY epics/epic-3.md
-  - Skip all other epic files
-  - 90%+ token savings!
-```
-
-## Using the Shard-Doc Tool
-
-### CLI Command
-
-```bash
-# Activate bmad-master or analyst agent, then:
-/shard-doc
-```
-
-### Interactive Process
-
-```
-Agent: Which document would you like to shard?
-User: docs/PRD.md
-
-Agent: Default destination: docs/prd/
-       Accept default? [y/n]
-User: y
-
-Agent: Sharding PRD.md...
-       ✓ Created 12 section files
-       ✓ Generated index.md
-       ✓ Complete!
-```
-
-### What Gets Created
-
-**index.md structure:**
-
-```markdown
-# PRD - Index
-
-## Sections
-
-1. [Overview](./overview.md) - Project vision and objectives
-2. [User Requirements](./user-requirements.md) - Feature specifications
-3. [Epic 1: Authentication](./epic-1-authentication.md) - User auth system
-4. [Epic 2: Dashboard](./epic-2-dashboard.md) - Main dashboard UI
-   ...
-```
-
-**Individual section files:**
-
-- Named from heading text (kebab-case)
-- Contains complete section content
-- Preserves all markdown formatting
-- Can be read independently
-
-## Workflow Support
-
-### Universal Support
-
-**All BMM workflows support both formats:**
-
-- ✅ Whole documents
-- ✅ Sharded documents
-- ✅ Automatic detection
-- ✅ Transparent to user
-
-### Workflow-Specific Patterns
-
-#### Phase 1-3 (Full Load)
-
-Workflows load entire sharded documents:
-
-- `product-brief` - Research, brainstorming docs
-- `prd` - Product brief, research
-- `gdd` - Game brief, research
-- `create-ux-design` - PRD, brief, architecture (if available)
-- `tech-spec` - Brief, research
-- `architecture` - PRD, UX design (if available)
-- `create-epics-and-stories` - PRD, architecture
-- `implementation-readiness` - All planning docs
-
-#### Phase 4 (Selective Load)
-
-Workflows load only needed sections:
-
-**sprint-planning** (Full Load):
-
-- Needs ALL epics to build complete status
-
-**create-story, code-review** (Selective):
-
-```
-Working on Epic 3, Story 2:
-  ✓ Load epics/epic-3.md only
-  ✗ Skip epics/epic-1.md, epic-2.md, epic-4.md, etc.
-
-Result: 90%+ token reduction for 10-epic projects!
-```
-
-### Input File Patterns
-
-Workflows use standardized patterns:
-
-```yaml
-input_file_patterns:
-  prd:
-    whole: '{output_folder}/*prd*.md'
-    sharded: '{output_folder}/*prd*/index.md'
-
-  epics:
-    whole: '{output_folder}/*epic*.md'
-    sharded_index: '{output_folder}/*epic*/index.md'
-    sharded_single: '{output_folder}/*epic*/epic-{{epic_num}}.md'
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Sharding Strategy
-
-**Do:**
-
-- ✅ Shard after planning phase complete
-- ✅ Keep level 2 headings well-organized
-- ✅ Use descriptive section names
-- ✅ Shard before Phase 4 implementation
-- ✅ Keep original file as backup initially
-
-**Don't:**
-
-- ❌ Shard work-in-progress documents
-- ❌ Shard small documents (<20k tokens)
-- ❌ Mix sharded and whole versions
-- ❌ Manually edit index.md structure
-
-### Naming Conventions
-
-**Good Section Names:**
-
-```markdown
-## Epic 1: User Authentication
-
-## Technical Requirements
-
-## System Architecture
-
-## UX Design Principles
-```
-
-**Poor Section Names:**
-
-```markdown
-## Section 1
-
-## Part A
-
-## Details
-
-## More Info
-```
-
-### File Management
-
-**When to Re-shard:**
-
-- Significant structural changes to document
-- Adding/removing major sections
-- After major refactoring
-
-**Updating Sharded Docs:**
-
-1. Edit individual section files directly
-2. OR edit original, delete sharded folder, re-shard
-3. Don't manually edit index.md
-
-## Examples
-
-### Example 1: Large PRD
-
-**Scenario:** 15-epic project, PRD is 45k tokens
-
-**Before Sharding:**
-
-```
-Every workflow loads entire 45k token PRD
-Architecture workflow: 45k tokens
-UX design workflow: 45k tokens
-```
-
-**After Sharding:**
-
-```bash
-/shard-doc
-Source: docs/PRD.md
-Destination: docs/prd/
-
-Created:
-  prd/index.md
-  prd/overview.md (3k tokens)
-  prd/functional-requirements.md (8k tokens)
-  prd/non-functional-requirements.md (6k tokens)
-  prd/user-personas.md (4k tokens)
-  ...additional FR/NFR sections
-```
-
-**Result:**
-
-```
-Architecture workflow: Can load specific sections needed
-UX design workflow: Can load specific sections needed
-Significant token reduction for large requirement docs!
-```
-
-### Example 2: Sharding Epics File
-
-**Scenario:** 8 epics with detailed stories, 35k tokens total
-
-```bash
-/shard-doc
-Source: docs/bmm-epics.md
-Destination: docs/epics/
-
-Created:
-  epics/index.md
-  epics/epic-1.md
-  epics/epic-2.md
-  ...
-  epics/epic-8.md
-```
-
-**Efficiency Gain:**
-
-```
-Working on Epic 5 stories:
-  Old: Load all 8 epics (35k tokens)
-  New: Load epic-5.md only (4k tokens)
-  Savings: 88% reduction
-```
-
-### Example 3: Architecture Document
-
-**Scenario:** Multi-layer system architecture, 28k tokens
-
-```bash
-/shard-doc
-Source: docs/architecture.md
-Destination: docs/architecture/
-
-Created:
-  architecture/index.md
-  architecture/system-overview.md
-  architecture/frontend-architecture.md
-  architecture/backend-services.md
-  architecture/data-layer.md
-  architecture/infrastructure.md
-  architecture/security-architecture.md
-```
-
-**Benefit:** Code-review workflow can reference specific architectural layers without loading entire architecture doc.
-
-## Custom Workflow Integration
-
-### For Workflow Builders
-
-When creating custom workflows that load large documents:
-
-**1. Add input_file_patterns to workflow.yaml:**
-
-```yaml
-input_file_patterns:
-  your_document:
-    whole: '{output_folder}/*your-doc*.md'
-    sharded: '{output_folder}/*your-doc*/index.md'
-```
-
-**2. Add discovery instructions to instructions.md:**
-
-```markdown
-## Document Discovery
-
-1. Search for whole document: _your-doc_.md
-2. Check for sharded version: _your-doc_/index.md
-3. If sharded: Read index + ALL sections (or specific sections if selective load)
-4. Priority: Whole document first
-```
-
-**3. Choose loading strategy:**
-
-- **Full Load**: Read all sections when sharded
-- **Selective Load**: Read only relevant sections (requires section identification logic)
-
-### Pattern Templates
-
-**Full Load Pattern:**
-
-```xml
-<action>Search for document: {output_folder}/*doc-name*.md</action>
-<action>If not found, check for sharded: {output_folder}/*doc-name*/index.md</action>
-<action if="sharded found">Read index.md to understand structure</action>
-<action if="sharded found">Read ALL section files listed in index</action>
-<action if="sharded found">Combine content as single document</action>
-```
-
-**Selective Load Pattern (with section ID):**
-
-```xml
-<action>Determine section needed (e.g., epic_num = 3)</action>
-<action>Check for sharded version: {output_folder}/*doc-name*/index.md</action>
-<action if="sharded found">Read ONLY the specific section file needed</action>
-<action if="sharded found">Skip all other section files</action>
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-**Both whole and sharded exist:**
-
-- Workflows will use whole document (priority rule)
-- Delete or archive the one you don't want
-
-**Index.md out of sync:**
-
-- Delete sharded folder
-- Re-run shard-doc on original
-
-**Workflow can't find document:**
-
-- Check file naming matches patterns (`*prd*.md`, `*epic*.md`, etc.)
-- Verify index.md exists in sharded folder
-- Check output_folder path in config
-
-**Sections too granular:**
-
-- Combine sections in original document
-- Use fewer level 2 headings
-- Re-shard

-# Rovo Dev IDE Integration
-
-This document describes how BMAD-METHOD integrates with [Atlassian Rovo Dev](https://www.atlassian.com/rovo-dev), an AI-powered software development assistant.
-
-## Overview
-
-Rovo Dev is designed to integrate deeply with developer workflows and organizational knowledge bases. When you install BMAD-METHOD in a Rovo Dev project, it automatically installs BMAD agents, workflows, tasks, and tools just like it does for other IDEs (Cursor, VS Code, etc.).
-
-BMAD-METHOD provides:
-
-- **Agents**: Specialized subagents for various development tasks
-- **Workflows**: Multi-step workflow guides and coordinators
-- **Tasks & Tools**: Reference documentation for BMAD tasks and tools
-
-### What are Rovo Dev Subagents?
-
-Subagents are specialized agents that Rovo Dev can delegate tasks to. They are defined as Markdown files with YAML frontmatter stored in the `.rovodev/subagents/` directory. Rovo Dev automatically discovers these files and makes them available through the `@subagent-name` syntax.
-
-## Installation and Setup
-
-### Automatic Installation
-
-When you run the BMAD-METHOD installer and select Rovo Dev as your IDE:
-
-```bash
-bmad install
-```
-
-The installer will:
-
-1. Create a `.rovodev/subagents/` directory in your project (if it doesn't exist)
-2. Convert BMAD agents into Rovo Dev subagent format
-3. Write subagent files with the naming pattern: `bmad-<module>-<agent-name>.md`
-
-### File Structure
-
-After installation, your project will have:
-
-```
-project-root/
-├── .rovodev/
-│   ├── subagents/
-│   │   ├── bmad-core-code-reviewer.md
-│   │   ├── bmad-bmm-pm.md

-
-- **subagents/**: Agents discovered and used by Rovo Dev with `@agent-name` syntax
-- **workflows/**: Multi-step workflow guides and instructions
-- **references/**: Documentation for available tasks and tools in BMAD
-
-## Subagent File Format
-
-BMAD agents are converted to Rovo Dev subagent format, which uses Markdown with YAML frontmatter:
-
-### Basic Structure
-
-```markdown
----
-name: bmad-module-agent-name
-description: One sentence description of what this agent does
-tools:
-  - bash
-  - open_files
-  - grep
-  - expand_code_chunks
-model: anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0 # Optional
-load_memory: true # Optional

-
-### YAML Frontmatter Fields
-
-| Field         | Type    | Required | Description                                                                                                                           |
-| ------------- | ------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `name`        | string  | Yes      | Unique identifier for the subagent (kebab-case, no spaces)                                                                            |
-| `description` | string  | Yes      | One-line description of the subagent's purpose                                                                                        |
-| `tools`       | array   | No       | List of tools the subagent can use. If not specified, uses parent agent's tools                                                       |
-| `model`       | string  | No       | Specific LLM model for this subagent (e.g., `anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0`). If not specified, uses parent agent's model |
-| `load_memory` | boolean | No       | Whether to load default memory files (AGENTS.md, AGENTS.local.md). Defaults to `true`                                                 |
-
-### System Prompt
-
-The content after the closing `---` is the subagent's system prompt. This defines:
-
-- The agent's persona and role
-- Its capabilities and constraints
-- Step-by-step instructions for task execution
-- Examples of expected behavior
-
-## Using BMAD Components in Rovo Dev
-
-### Invoking a Subagent (Agent)
-
-In Rovo Dev, you can invoke a BMAD agent as a subagent using the `@` syntax:
-
-```
-@bmad-core-code-reviewer Please review this PR for potential issues
-@bmad-bmm-pm Help plan this feature release
-@bmad-bmm-dev Implement this feature
-```
-
-### Accessing Workflows
-
-Workflow guides are available in `.rovodev/workflows/` directory:
-
-```
-@bmad-core-code-reviewer Use the brainstorming workflow from .rovodev/workflows/bmad-brainstorming.md
-```
-
-Workflow files contain step-by-step instructions and can be referenced or copied into Rovo Dev for collaborative workflow execution.
-
-### Accessing Tasks and Tools
-
-Task and tool documentation is available in `.rovodev/references/` directory. These provide:
-
-- Task execution instructions
-- Tool capabilities and usage
-- Integration examples
-- Parameter documentation
-
-### Example Usage Scenarios
-
-#### Code Review
-
-```
-@bmad-core-code-reviewer Review the changes in src/components/Button.tsx
-for best practices, performance, and potential bugs
-```
-
-#### Documentation
-
-```
-@bmad-core-documentation-writer Generate API documentation for the new
-user authentication module
-```
-
-#### Feature Design
-
-```
-@bmad-module-feature-designer Design a solution for implementing
-dark mode support across the application
-```
-
-## Customizing BMAD Subagents
-
-You can customize BMAD subagents after installation by editing their files directly in `.rovodev/subagents/`.
-
-### Example: Adding Tool Restrictions
-
-By default, BMAD subagents inherit tools from the parent Rovo Dev agent. You can restrict which tools a specific subagent can use:
-
-```yaml
----
-name: bmad-core-code-reviewer
-description: Reviews code and suggests improvements
-tools:
-  - open_files
-  - expand_code_chunks
-  - grep
----
-```
-
-### Example: Using a Specific Model
-
-Some agents might benefit from using a different model. You can specify this:
-
-```yaml
----
-name: bmad-core-documentation-writer
-description: Writes clear and comprehensive documentation
-model: anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0
----
-```
-
-### Example: Enhancing the System Prompt
-
-You can add additional context to a subagent's system prompt:
-
-```markdown
----
-name: bmad-core-code-reviewer
-description: Reviews code and suggests improvements
----
-
-You are a specialized code review agent for our project.
-
-## Project Context
-
-Our codebase uses:
-
-- React 18 for frontend
-- Node.js 18+ for backend
-- TypeScript for type safety
-- Jest for testing
-
-## Review Checklist
-
-1. Type safety and TypeScript correctness
-2. React best practices and hooks usage
-3. Performance considerations
-4. Test coverage
-5. Documentation and comments
-
-...rest of original system prompt...
-```
-
-## Memory and Context
-
-By default, BMAD subagents have `load_memory: true`, which means they will load memory files from your project:
-
-- **Project-level**: `.rovodev/AGENTS.md` and `.rovodev/.agent.md`
-- **User-level**: `~/.rovodev/AGENTS.md` (global memory across all projects)
-
-These files can contain:
-
-- Project guidelines and conventions
-- Common patterns and best practices
-- Recent decisions and context
-- Custom instructions for all agents
-
-### Creating Project Memory
-
-Create `.rovodev/AGENTS.md` in your project:
-
-```markdown
-# Project Guidelines
-
-## Code Style
-
-- Use 2-space indentation
-- Use camelCase for variables
-- Use PascalCase for classes
-
-## Architecture
-
-- Follow modular component structure
-- Use dependency injection for services
-- Implement proper error handling
-
-## Testing Requirements
-
-- Minimum 80% code coverage
-- Write tests before implementation
-- Use descriptive test names
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Subagents Not Appearing in Rovo Dev
-
-1. **Verify files exist**: Check that `.rovodev/subagents/bmad-*.md` files are present
-2. **Check Rovo Dev is reloaded**: Rovo Dev may cache agent definitions. Restart Rovo Dev or reload the project
-3. **Verify file format**: Ensure files have proper YAML frontmatter (between `---` markers)
-4. **Check file permissions**: Ensure files are readable by Rovo Dev
-
-### Agent Name Conflicts
-
-If you have custom subagents with the same names as BMAD agents, Rovo Dev will load both but may show a warning. Use unique prefixes for custom subagents to avoid conflicts.
-
-### Tools Not Available
-
-If a subagent's tools aren't working:
-
-1. Verify the tool names match Rovo Dev's available tools
-2. Check that the parent Rovo Dev agent has access to those tools
-3. Ensure tool permissions are properly configured in `.rovodev/config.yml`
-
-## Advanced: Tool Configuration
-
-Rovo Dev agents have access to a set of tools for various tasks. Common tools available include:
-
-- `bash`: Execute shell commands
-- `open_files`: View file contents
-- `grep`: Search across files
-- `expand_code_chunks`: View specific code sections
-- `find_and_replace_code`: Modify files
-- `create_file`: Create new files
-- `delete_file`: Delete files
-- `move_file`: Rename or move files
-
-### MCP Servers
-
-Rovo Dev can also connect to Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, which provide additional tools and data sources:
-
-- **Atlassian Integration**: Access to Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket
-- **Code Analysis**: Custom code analysis and metrics
-- **External Services**: APIs and third-party integrations
-
-Configure MCP servers in `~/.rovodev/mcp.json` or `.rovodev/mcp.json`.
-
-## Integration with Other IDE Handlers
-
-BMAD-METHOD supports multiple IDEs simultaneously. You can have both Rovo Dev and other IDE configurations (Cursor, VS Code, etc.) in the same project. Each IDE will have its own artifacts installed in separate directories.
-
-For example:
-
-- Rovo Dev agents: `.rovodev/subagents/bmad-*.md`
-- Cursor rules: `.cursor/rules/bmad/`
-- Claude Code: `.claude/rules/bmad/`
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-- BMAD subagent files are typically small (1-5 KB each)
-- Rovo Dev lazy-loads subagents, so having many subagents doesn't impact startup time
-- System prompts are cached by Rovo Dev after first load
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Keep System Prompts Concise**: Shorter, well-structured prompts are more effective
-2. **Use Project Memory**: Leverage `.rovodev/AGENTS.md` for shared context
-3. **Customize Tool Restrictions**: Give subagents only the tools they need
-4. **Test Subagent Invocations**: Verify each subagent works as expected for your project
-5. **Version Control**: Commit `.rovodev/subagents/` to version control for team consistency
-6. **Document Custom Subagents**: Add comments explaining the purpose of customized subagents

-# IDE Content Injection Standard
-
-## Overview
-
-This document defines the standard for IDE-specific content injection in BMAD modules. Each IDE can inject its own specific content into BMAD templates during installation without polluting the source files with IDE-specific code. The installation process is interactive, allowing users to choose what IDE-specific features they want to install.
-
-## Architecture
-
-### 1. Injection Points
-
-Files that support IDE-specific content define injection points using HTML comments:
-
-```xml
-<!-- IDE-INJECT-POINT: unique-point-name -->
-```
-
-### 2. Module Structure
-
-Each module that needs IDE-specific content creates a sub-module folder:
-
-```
-src/modules/{module-name}/sub-modules/{ide-name}/
-  ├── injections.yaml    # Injection configuration
-  ├── sub-agents/        # IDE-specific subagents (if applicable)
-  └── config.yaml        # Other IDE-specific config
-```
-
-### 3. Injection Configuration Format
-
-The `injections.yaml` file defines what content to inject where:
-
-```yaml
-# injections.yaml structure
-injections:
-  - file: 'relative/path/to/file.md' # Path relative to installation root
-    point: 'injection-point-name' # Must match IDE-INJECT-POINT name
-    requires: 'subagent-name' # Which subagent must be selected (or "any")
-    content: | # Content to inject (preserves formatting)
-      <llm>
-        <i>Instructions specific to this IDE</i>
-      </llm>
-
-# Subagents available for installation
-subagents:
-  source: 'sub-agents' # Source folder relative to this config
-  target: '.claude/agents' # Claude's expected location (don't change)
-  files:
-    - 'agent1.md'
-    - 'agent2.md'
-```
-
-### 4. Interactive Installation Process
-
-For Claude Code specifically, the installer will:
-
-1. **Detect available subagents** from the module's `injections.yaml`
-2. **Ask the user** about subagent installation:
-   - Install all subagents (default)
-   - Select specific subagents
-   - Skip subagent installation
-3. **Ask installation location** (if subagents selected):
-   - Project level: `.claude/agents/`
-   - User level: `~/.claude/agents/`
-4. **Copy selected subagents** to the chosen location
-5. **Inject only relevant content** based on selected subagents
-
-Other IDEs can implement their own installation logic appropriate to their architecture.
-
-## Implementation
-
-### IDE Installer Responsibilities
-
-Each IDE installer (e.g., `claude-code.js`) must:
-
-1. **Check for sub-modules**: Look for `sub-modules/{ide-name}/` in each installed module
-2. **Load injection config**: Parse `injections.yaml` if present
-3. **Process injections**: Replace injection points with configured content
-4. **Copy additional files**: Handle subagents or other IDE-specific files
-
-### Example Implementation (Claude Code)
-
-```javascript
-async processModuleInjections(projectDir, bmadDir, options) {
-  for (const moduleName of options.selectedModules) {
-    const configPath = path.join(
-      bmadDir, 'src/modules', moduleName,
-      'sub-modules/claude-code/injections.yaml'
-    );
-
-    if (exists(configPath)) {
-      const config = yaml.load(configPath);
-
-      // Interactive: Ask user about subagent installation
-      const choices = await this.promptSubagentInstallation(config.subagents);
-
-      if (choices.install !== 'none') {
-        // Ask where to install
-        const location = await this.promptInstallLocation();
-
-        // Process injections based on selections
-        for (const injection of config.injections) {
-          if (this.shouldInject(injection, choices)) {
-            await this.injectContent(projectDir, injection, choices);
-          }
-        }
-
-        // Copy selected subagents
-        await this.copySelectedSubagents(projectDir, config.subagents, choices, location);
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Benefits
-
-1. **Clean Source Files**: No IDE-specific conditionals in source
-2. **Modular**: Each IDE manages its own injections
-3. **Scalable**: Easy to add support for new IDEs
-4. **Maintainable**: IDE-specific content lives with IDE config
-5. **Flexible**: Different modules can inject different content
-
-## Adding Support for a New IDE
-
-1. Create sub-module folder: `src/modules/{module}/sub-modules/{new-ide}/`
-2. Add `injections.yaml` with IDE-specific content
-3. Update IDE installer to process injections using this standard
-4. Test installation with and without the IDE selected
-
-## Example: BMM Module with Claude Code
-
-### File Structure
-
-```
-src/modules/bmm/
-├── agents/pm.md                         # Has injection point
-├── templates/prd.md                     # Has multiple injection points
-└── sub-modules/
-    └── claude-code/
-        ├── injections.yaml              # Defines what to inject
-        └── sub-agents/                  # Claude Code specific subagents
-            ├── market-researcher.md
-            ├── requirements-analyst.md
-            └── ...
-```
-
-### Injection Point in pm.md
-
-```xml
-<agent>
-  <persona>...</persona>
-  <!-- IDE-INJECT-POINT: pm-agent-instructions -->
-  <cmds>...</cmds>
-</agent>
-```
-
-### Injection Configuration
-
-```yaml
-injections:
-  - file: '{bmad_folder}/bmm/agents/pm.md'
-    point: 'pm-agent-instructions'
-    requires: 'any' # Injected if ANY subagent is selected
-    content: |
-      <llm critical="true">
-        <i>Use 'market-researcher' subagent for analysis</i>
-      </llm>
-
-  - file: '{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/prd.md'
-    point: 'prd-goals-context-delegation'
-    requires: 'market-researcher' # Only if this specific subagent selected
-    content: |
-      <i>DELEGATE: Use 'market-researcher' subagent...</i>
-```
-
-### Result After Installation
-
-```xml
-<agent>
-  <persona>...</persona>
-  <llm critical="true">
-    <i>Use 'market-researcher' subagent for analysis</i>
-  </llm>

-
-## Configuration System
-
-### Collection Process
-
-Modules define prompts in `install-config.yaml`:
-
-```yaml
-project_name:
-  prompt: 'Project title?'
-  default: 'My Project'
-  result: '{value}'
-
-output_folder:
-  prompt: 'Output location?'
-  default: 'docs'
-  result: '{project-root}/{value}'
-
-tools:
-  prompt: 'Select tools:'
-  multi-select:
-    - 'Tool A'
-    - 'Tool B'
-```
-
-### Configuration Inheritance
-
-Core values cascade to ALL modules automatically:
-
-```yaml
-# core/config.yaml
-user_name: "Jane"
-communication_language: "English"
-
-# bmm/config.yaml (generated)
-project_name: "My App"
-tech_docs: "/path/to/docs"
-# Core Configuration Values (inherited)
-user_name: "Jane"
-communication_language: "English"
-```
-
-**Reserved Keys**: Core configuration keys cannot be redefined by other modules.
-
-### Path Placeholders
-
-- `{project-root}`: Project directory path
-- `{value}`: User input
-- `{module}`: Module name
-- `{core:field}`: Reference core config value
-
-### Config Generation Rules
-
-1. ALL installed modules get a `config.yaml` (even without prompts)
-2. Core values are ALWAYS included in module configs
-3. Module-specific values come first, core values appended
-4. Source templates are never copied, only generated configs
-
-## Platform Integration
-
-### Supported Platforms
-
-**Preferred** (Full Integration):
-
-- Claude Code
-- Cursor
-- Windsurf
-
-**Additional**:
-Cline, Roo, Rovo Dev,Auggie, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Gemini, Qwen, Trae, Kilo, Crush, iFlow
-
-### Platform Features
-
-1. **Setup Handler** (`tools/cli/installers/lib/ide/{platform}.js`)
-   - Directory creation
-   - Configuration generation
-   - Agent processing
-
-2. **Content Injection** (`sub-modules/{platform}/injections.yaml`)
-
-   ```yaml
-   injections:
-     - file: '{bmad_folder}/bmm/agents/pm.md'
-       point: 'pm-agent-instructions'
-       content: |
-         <i>Platform-specific instruction</i>
-
-   subagents:
-     source: 'sub-agents'
-     target: '.claude/agents'
-     files: ['agent.md']
-   ```
-
-3. **Interactive Config**
-   - Subagent selection
-   - Installation scope (project/user)
-   - Feature toggles
-
-### Injection System
-
-Platform-specific content without source modification:
-
-- Inject points marked in source: `<!-- IDE-INJECT-POINT:name -->`
-- Content added during installation only
-- Source files remain clean
-
-## Development Guide
-
-### Creating a Module
-
-1. **Structure**
-
-   ```
-   src/modules/mymod/
-   ├── _module-installer/
-   │   ├── installer.js
-   │   └── install-config.yaml
-   ├── agents/
-   └── tasks/
-   ```
-
-2. **Configuration** (`install-config.yaml`)
-
-   ```yaml
-   code: mymod
-   name: 'My Module'
-   prompt: 'Welcome message'
-
-   setting_name:
-     prompt: 'Configure X?'
-     default: 'value'
-   ```
-
-3. **Installer** (`installer.js`)
-   ```javascript
-   async function install(options) {
-     const { projectRoot, config, installedIDEs, logger } = options;
-     // Custom logic
-     return true;
-   }
-   module.exports = { install };
-   ```
-
-### Adding Platform Support
-
-1. Create handler: `tools/cli/installers/lib/ide/myplatform.js`
-2. Extend `BaseIdeSetup` class
-3. Add sub-module: `src/modules/{mod}/sub-modules/myplatform/`
-4. Define injections and platform agents
-
-### Agent Configuration
-
-Extractable config nodes:
-
-```xml
-<agent>
-  <setting agentConfig="true">
-    Default value
-  </setting>
-</agent>
-```
-
-Generated in: `bmad/_cfg/agents/{module}-{agent}.md`
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-| Issue                   | Solution                                     |
-| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
-| Existing installation   | Use `bmad update` or remove `{bmad_folder}/` |
-| Module not found        | Check `src/modules/` exists                  |
-| Config not applied      | Verify `{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml`  |
-| Missing config.yaml     | Fixed: All modules now get configs           |
-| Agent unavailable       | Check for `localskip="true"`                 |
-| module-installer copied | Fixed: Now excluded from copy                |
-
-### Debug Commands
-
-```bash
-bmad install -v     # Verbose installation
-bmad status -v      # Detailed status
-```
-
-### Best Practices
-
-1. Run from project root
-2. Backup `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/` before updates
-3. Use interactive mode for guidance
-4. Review generated configs post-install
-
-## Migration from v4
-
-| v4                  | v6                           |
-| ------------------- | ---------------------------- |
-| Scattered files     | Centralized `{bmad_folder}/` |
-| Monolithic          | Modular                      |
-| Manual config       | Interactive setup            |
-| Limited IDE support | 15+ platforms                |
-| Source modification | Clean injection              |
-
-## Technical Notes
-
-### Dependency Resolution
-
-- Direct dependencies (module → module)
-- Agent references (cross-module)
-- Template dependencies
-- Partial module installation (only required files)
-- Workflow vendoring for standalone module operation
-
-## Workflow Vendoring
-
-**Problem**: Modules that reference workflows from other modules create dependencies, forcing users to install multiple modules even when they only need one.
-
-**Solution**: Workflow vendoring allows modules to copy workflows from other modules during installation, making them fully standalone.
-
-### How It Works
-
-Agents can specify both `workflow` (source location) and `workflow-install` (destination location) in their menu items:
-
-```yaml
-menu:
-  - trigger: create-story
-    workflow: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/create-story/workflow.yaml'
-    workflow-install: '{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmgd/workflows/4-production/create-story/workflow.yaml'
-    description: 'Create a game feature story'
-```
-
-**During Installation:**
-
-1. **Vendoring Phase**: Before copying module files, the installer:
-   - Scans source agent YAML files for `workflow-install` attributes
-   - Copies entire workflow folders from `workflow` path to `workflow-install` path
-   - Updates vendored `workflow.yaml` files to reference target module's config
-
-2. **Compilation Phase**: When compiling agents:
-   - If `workflow-install` exists, uses its value for the `workflow` attribute
-   - `workflow-install` is build-time metadata only, never appears in final XML
-   - Compiled agent references vendored workflow location
-
-3. **Config Update**: Vendored workflows get their `config_source` updated:
-
-   ```yaml
-   # Source workflow (in bmm):
-   config_source: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/config.yaml"
-
-   # Vendored workflow (in bmgd):
-   config_source: "{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmgd/config.yaml"
-   ```
-
-**Result**: Modules become completely standalone with their own copies of needed workflows, configured for their specific use case.
-
-### Example Use Case: BMGD Module
-
-The BMad Game Development module vendors implementation workflows from BMM:
-
-- Game Dev Scrum Master agent references BMM workflows
-- During installation, workflows are copied to `bmgd/workflows/4-production/`
-- Vendored workflows use BMGD's config (with game-specific settings)
-- BMGD can be installed without BMM dependency
-
-### Benefits
-
-✅ **Module Independence** - No forced dependencies
-✅ **Clean Namespace** - Workflows live in their module
-✅ **Config Isolation** - Each module uses its own configuration
-✅ **Customization Ready** - Vendored workflows can be modified independently
-✅ **No User Confusion** - Avoid partial module installations
-
-### File Processing
-
-- Filters `localskip="true"` agents
-- Excludes `_module-installer/` directories
-- Replaces path placeholders at runtime
-- Injects activation blocks
-- Vendors cross-module workflows (see Workflow Vendoring below)
-
-### Web Bundling
-
-```bash
-bmad bundle --web           # Filter for web deployment
-npm run validate:bundles    # Validate bundles
-```

+# Agent Creation Guide
+
+Create your own custom agents using the BMAD Builder workflow.
+
+## Overview
+
+The BMAD Builder (BMB) module provides an interactive workflow that guides you through creating a custom agent from concept to completion. You define the agent's purpose, personality, capabilities, and menu - then the workflow generates a complete, ready-to-use agent file.
+
+## Before You Start
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- BMAD installed with the BMB module
+- An idea for what you want your agent to do
+- About 15-30 minutes for your first agent
+
+**Know Before You Go:**
+- What problem should your agent solve?
+- Who will use this agent?
+- What should the agent be able to do?
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Start the Workflow
+
+In your IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), invoke the create-agent workflow:
+
+```
+"Run the BMAD Builder create-agent workflow"
+```
+
+Or trigger it via the BMAD Master menu.
+
+### 2. Follow the Steps
+
+The workflow guides you through:
+
+| Step | What You'll Do |
+|------|----------------|
+| **Brainstorm** (optional) | Explore ideas with creative techniques |
+| **Discovery** | Define the agent's purpose and goals |
+| **Type & Metadata** | Choose Simple or Expert, name your agent |
+| **Persona** | Craft the agent's personality and principles |
+| **Commands** | Define what the agent can do |
+| **Activation** | Set up autonomous behaviors (optional) |
+| **Build** | Generate the agent file |
+| **Validation** | Review and verify everything works |
+
+### 3. Install Your Agent
+
+Once created, package your agent for installation:
+
+```
+my-custom-stuff/
+├── module.yaml          # Contains: unitary: true
+├── agents/
+│   └── {agent-name}/
+│       ├── {agent-name}.agent.yaml
+│       └── _memory/              # Expert agents only
+│           └── {sidecar-folder}/
+└── workflows/           # Optional: custom workflows
+```
+
+See [Custom Content Installation](./custom-content-installation.md) for details.
+
+## Choosing Your Agent Type
+
+The workflow will help you decide, but here's the quick reference:
+
+### Choose Simple Agent When:
+
+- Task is well-defined and focused
+- Don't need persistent memory
+- Want fast setup and deployment
+- Single-purpose assistant (e.g., commit messages, code review)
+
+**Example:** A "Code Commenter" that reads files and adds helpful comments.
+
+### Choose Expert Agent When:
+
+- Domain requires specialized knowledge
+- Need persistent memory across sessions
+- Agent coordinates complex workflows
+- Building ongoing project infrastructure
+
+**Example:** A "Security Architect" that remembers your design decisions and maintains security standards across the project.
+
+### Choose Module Agent When:
+
+- Agent builds other agents or workflows
+- Need integration with module system
+- Creating professional tooling
+
+**Example:** A "Team Builder" that helps set up agents for new team members.
+
+## The Persona System
+
+Your agent's personality is defined by four fields:
+
+| Field | Purpose | Example |
+|-------|---------|---------|
+| **Role** | What they do | "Senior code reviewer who catches bugs and suggests improvements" |
+| **Identity** | Who they are | "Friendly but exacting, believes clean code is a craft" |
+| **Communication Style** | How they speak | "Direct, constructive, explains the 'why' behind suggestions" |
+| **Principles** | Why they act | "Security first, clarity over cleverness, test what you fix" |
+
+**Key:** Keep each field focused on its purpose. The role isn't personality; the identity isn't job description.
+
+## Tips for Success
+
+### Start Small
+
+Your first agent should solve **one problem well**. You can always add more capabilities later.
+
+### Learn by Example
+
+Study the reference agents in `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/`:
+- **Simple:** [commit-poet](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/main/src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/simple-examples/commit-poet.agent.yaml)
+- **Expert:** [journal-keeper](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/main/src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/expert-examples/journal-keeper)
+
+### Write Great Principles
+
+The first principle should "activate" the agent's expertise:
+
+❌ **Weak:** "Be helpful and accurate"
+✅ **Strong:** "Channel decades of security expertise: threat modeling begins with trust boundaries, never trust client input, defense in depth is non-negotiable"
+
+### Use the Menu System
+
+The workflow provides options at each step:
+- **[A] Advanced** - Get deeper insights and reasoning
+- **[P] Party** - Get multiple agent perspectives
+- **[C] Continue** - Move to the next step
+
+Use these when you need extra input or creative options.
+
+## After Creation
+
+### Test Your Agent
+
+1. Install your custom module using the BMAD installer
+2. Invoke your new agent in your IDE
+3. Try each menu command
+4. Verify the personality feels right
+
+### Iterate
+
+If something isn't right:
+1. Edit the agent YAML directly, or
+2. Edit the customization file in `_bmad/_config/agents/`
+3. Rebuild using `npx bmad-method build <agent-name>`
+
+### Share
+
+Package your agent as a standalone module (see [Installation Guide](../../bmad-core-concepts/installing/)) and share it with your team or the community.

+# Custom Content Installation
+
+This guide explains how to create and install custom BMAD content including agents, workflows, and modules. Custom content extends BMAD's functionality with specialized tools and workflows that can be shared across projects or teams.
+
+For detailed information about the different types of custom content available, see [Custom Content](modules/bmb-bmad-builder/custom-content.md).
+
+You can find example custom modules in the `samples/sample-custom-modules/` folder of the repository. Download either of the sample folders to try them out.
+
+## Content Types Overview
+
+BMAD Core supports several categories of custom content:
+
+- Custom Stand Alone Modules
+- Custom Add On Modules
+- Custom Global Modules
+- Custom Agents
+- Custom Workflows
+
+## Making Custom Content Installable
+
+### Custom Modules
+
+To create an installable custom module:
+
+1. **Folder Structure**
+   - Create a folder with a short, abbreviated name (e.g., `cis` for Creative Intelligence Suite)
+   - The folder name serves as the module code
+
+2. **Required File**
+   - Include a `module.yaml` file in the root folder (this drives questions for the final generated config.yaml at install target)
+
+3. **Folder Organization**
+   Follow these conventions for optimal compatibility:
+
+   ```
+   module-code/
+     module.yaml
+     agents/
+     workflows/
+     tools/
+     templates/
+     ...
+   ```
+
+   - `agents/` - Agent definitions
+   - `workflows/` - Workflow definitions
+   - Additional custom folders are supported but following conventions is recommended for agent and workflow discovery
+
+**Note:** Full documentation for global modules and add-on modules will be available as support is finalized.
+
+### Standalone Content (Agents, Workflows, Tasks, Tools, Templates, Prompts)
+
+For standalone content that isn't part of a cohesive module collection, follow this structure:
+
+1. **Module Configuration**
+   - Create a folder with a `module.yaml` file (similar to custom modules)
+   - Add the property `unitary: true` in the module.yaml
+     - The `unitary: true` property indicates this is a collection of potentially unrelated items that don't depend on each other
+   - Any content you add to this folder should still be nested under workflows and agents - but the key with stand alone content is they do not rely on each other.
+     - Agents do not reference other workflows even if stored in a unitary:true module. But unitary Agents can have their own workflows in their sidecar, or reference workflows as requirements from other modules - with a process known as workflow vendoring. Keep in mind, this will require that the workflow referenced from the other module would need to be available for the end user to install, so its recommended to only vendor workflows from the core module, or official bmm modules (See [Workflow Vendoring, Customization, and Inheritance](workflow-vendoring-customization-inheritance.md)).
+
+2. **Folder Structure**
+   Organize content in specific named folders:
+
+   ```
+   module-name/
+     module.yaml        # Contains unitary: true
+     agents/
+     workflows/
+     templates/
+     tools/
+     tasks/
+     prompts/
+   ```
+
+3. **Individual Item Organization**
+   Each item should have its own subfolder:
+   ```text
+   my-custom-stuff/
+     module.yaml
+     agents/
+       larry/larry.agent.md
+       curly/curly.agent.md
+       moe/moe.agent.md
+       moe/moe-sidecar/memories.csv
+   ```
+
+**Future Feature:** Unitary modules will support selective installation, allowing users to pick and choose which specific items to install.
+
+**Note:** Documentation explaining the distinctions between these content types and their specific use cases will be available soon.
+
+## Installation Process
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Ensure your content follows the proper conventions and includes a `module.yaml` file (only one per top-level folder).
+
+### New Project Installation
+
+When setting up a new BMAD project:
+
+1. The installer will prompt: `Would you like to install a local custom module (this includes custom agents and workflows also)? (y/N)`
+2. Select 'y' to specify the path to your module folder containing `module.yaml`
+
+### Existing Project Modification
+
+To add custom content to an existing BMAD project:
+
+1. Run the installer against your project location
+2. Select `Modify BMAD Installation`
+3. Choose the option to add, modify, or update custom modules
+
+### Upcoming Features
+
+- **Unitary Module Selection:** For modules with `type: unitary` (instead of `type: module`), you'll be able to select specific items to install
+- **Add-on Module Dependencies:** The installer will verify and install dependencies for add-on modules automatically
+
+## Quick Updates
+
+When updates to BMAD Core or core modules (BMM, CIS, etc.) become available, the quick update process will:
+
+1. Apply available updates to core modules
+2. Recompile all agents with customizations from the `_config/agents` folder
+3. Retain your custom content from a cached location
+4. Preserve your existing configurations and customizations
+
+This means you don't need to keep the source module files locally. When updates are available, simply point to the updated module location during the update process.
+
+## Important Considerations
+
+### Module Naming Conflicts
+
+When installing unofficial modules, ensure unique identification to avoid conflicts:
+
+1. **Module Codes:** Each module must have a unique code (e.g., don't use `bmm` for custom modules)
+2. **Module Names:** Avoid using names that conflict with existing modules
+3. **Multiple Custom Modules:** If creating multiple custom modules, use distinct codes for each
+
+**Examples of conflicts to avoid:**
+
+- Don't create a custom module with code `bmm` (already used by BMad Method)
+- Don't name multiple custom modules with the same code like `mca`
+
+### Best Practices
+
+- Use descriptive, unique codes for your modules
+- Document any dependencies your custom modules have
+- Test custom modules in isolation before sharing
+- Consider version numbering for your custom content to track updates

+# Custom Content
+
+BMAD supports several categories of officially supported custom content that extend the platform's capabilities. Custom content can be created manually or with the recommended assistance of the BMad Builder (BoMB) Module. The BoMB Agents provides workflows and expertise to plan and build any custom content you can imagine.
+
+This flexibility transforms the platform beyond its current capabilities, enabling:
+
+- Extensions and add-ons for existing modules (BMad Method, Creative Intelligence Suite)
+- Completely new modules, workflows, templates, and agents outside software engineering
+- Professional services tools
+- Entertainment and educational content
+- Science and engineering workflows
+- Productivity and self-help solutions
+- Role-specific augmentation for virtually any profession
+
+## Categories
+
+- [Custom Content](#custom-content)
+  - [Categories](#categories)
+  - [Custom Stand Alone Modules](#custom-stand-alone-modules)
+  - [Custom Add On Modules](#custom-add-on-modules)
+  - [Custom Global Modules](#custom-global-modules)
+  - [Custom Agents](#custom-agents)
+    - [BMad Tiny Agents](#bmad-tiny-agents)
+    - [Simple and Expert Agents](#simple-and-expert-agents)
+  - [Custom Workflows](#custom-workflows)
+
+## Custom Stand Alone Modules
+
+Custom modules range from simple collections of related agents, workflows, and tools designed to work independently, to complex, expansive systems like the BMad Method or even larger applications.
+
+Custom modules are [installable](./custom-content-installation.md) using the standard BMAD method and support advanced features:
+
+- Optional user information collection during installation/updates
+- Versioning and upgrade paths
+- Custom installer functions with IDE-specific post-installation handling (custom hooks, subagents, or vendor-specific tools)
+- Ability to bundle specific tools such as MCP, skills, execution libraries, and code
+
+## Custom Add On Modules
+
+Custom Add On Modules contain specific agents, tools, or workflows that expand, modify, or customize another module but cannot exist or install independently. These add-ons provide enhanced functionality while leveraging the base module's existing capabilities.
+
+Examples include:
+
+- Alternative implementation workflows for BMad Method agents
+- Framework-specific support for particular use cases
+- Game development expansions that add new genre-specific capabilities without reinventing existing functionality
+
+Add on modules can include:
+
+- Custom agents with awareness of the target module
+- Access to existing module workflows
+- Tool-specific features such as rulesets, hooks, subprocess prompts, subagents, and more
+
+## Custom Global Modules
+
+Similar to Custom Stand Alone Modules, but designed to add functionality that applies across all installed content. These modules provide cross-cutting capabilities that enhance the entire BMAD ecosystem.
+
+Examples include:
+
+- The current TTS (Text-to-Speech) functionality for Claude, which will soon be converted to a global module
+- The core module, which is always installed and provides all agents with party mode and advanced elicitation capabilities
+- Installation and update tools that work with any BMAD method configuration
+
+Upcoming standards will document best practices for building global content that affects installed modules through:
+
+- Custom content injections
+- Agent customization auto-injection
+- Tooling installers
+
+## Custom Agents
+
+Custom Agents can be designed and built for various use cases, from one-off specialized agents to more generic standalone solutions.
+
+### BMad Tiny Agents
+
+Personal agents designed for highly specific needs that may not be suitable for sharing. For example, a team management agent living in an Obsidian vault that helps with:
+
+- Team coordination and management
+- Understanding team details and requirements
+- Tracking specific tasks with designated tools
+
+These are simple, standalone files that can be scoped to focus on specific data or paths when integrated into an information vault or repository.
+
+### Simple and Expert Agents
+
+The distinction between simple and expert agents lies in their structure:
+
+**Simple Agent:**
+
+- Single file containing all prompts and configuration
+- Self-contained and straightforward
+
+**Expert Agent:**
+
+- Similar to simple agents but includes a sidecar folder
+- Sidecar folder contains additional resources: custom prompt files, scripts, templates, and memory files
+- When installed, the sidecar folder (`[agentname]-sidecar`) is placed in the user memory location
+- has metadata type: expert
+
+The key distinction is the presence of a sidecar folder. As web and consumer agent tools evolve to support common memory mechanisms, storage formats, and MCP, the writable memory files will adapt to support these evolving standards.
+
+Custom agents can be:
+
+- Used within custom modules
+- Designed as standalone tools
+- Integrated with existing workflows and systems, if this is to be the case, should also include a module: <module name> if a specific module is intended for it to require working with
+
+## Custom Workflows
+
+Workflows are powerful, progressively loading sequence engines capable of performing tasks ranging from simple to complex, including:
+
+- User engagements
+- Business processes
+- Content generation (code, documentation, or other output formats)
+
+A custom workflow created outside of a larger module can still be distributed and used without associated agents through:
+
+- Slash commands
+- Manual command/prompt execution when supported by tools
+
+At its core, a custom workflow is a single or series of prompts designed to achieve a specific outcome.

+For installing standalone simple and expert agents, see:
+
+- [Custom Agent Installation](/docs/modules/bmb-bmad-builder/custom-content-installation.md)
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### YAML to XML Compilation
+
+Agents are authored in YAML with Handlebars templating. The compiler auto-injects:
+
+1. **Frontmatter** - Name and description from metadata
+2. **Activation Block** - Steps, menu handlers, rules (YOU don't write this)
+3. **Menu Enhancement** - `*help` and `*exit` commands added automatically
+4. **Trigger Prefixing** - Your triggers auto-prefixed with `*`
+
+**Critical:** See [Agent Compilation](./agent-compilation.md) to avoid duplicating auto-injected content.

+# Workflow Vendoring, Customization, and Inheritance (Official Support Consing Soon)
+
+Vendoring and Inheritance of workflows are 2 ways of sharing or reutilizing workflows - but with some key distinctions and use cases.
+
+## Workflow Vendoring
+
+Workflow Vendoring allows an agent to have access to a workflow from another module, without having to install said module. At install time, the module workflow being vendored will be cloned and installed into the module that is receiving the vendored workflow the agent needs.
+
+### How to Vendor
+
+Lets assume you are building a module, and you do not want to recreate a workflow from the BMad Method, such as workflows/4-implementation/dev-story/workflow.md. Instead of copying all the context to your module, and having to maintain it over time as updates are made, you can instead use the exec-vendor menu item in your agent.
+
+From your modules agent definition, you would implement the menu item as follows in the agent:
+
+```yaml
+    - trigger: develop-story
+      exec-vendor: "{project-root}/_bmad/<source-module>/workflows/4-production/dev-story/workflow.md"
+      exec: "{project-root}/_bmad/<my-module>/workflows/dev-story/workflow.md"
+      description: "Execute Dev Story workflow, implementing tasks and tests, or performing updates to the story"
+```
+
+At install time, it will clone the workflow and all of its required assets, and the agent that gets built will have an exec to a path installed in its own module. The content gets added to the folder you specify in exec. While it does not have to exactly match the source path, you will want to ensure you are specifying the workflow.md to be in a new location (in other words in this example, dev-story would not already be the path of another custom module workflow that already exists.)
+
+## Workflow Inheritance (Official Support Coming Post Beta)
+
+Workflow Inheritance is a different concept, that allows you to modify or extend existing workflow.
+
+Party Mode from the core is an example of a workflow that is designed with inheritance in mind - customization for specific party needs. While party mode itself is generic - there might be specific agent collaborations you want to create. Without having to reinvent the whole party mode concept, or copy and paste all of its content - you could inherit from party mode to extend it to be specific.
+
+Some possible examples could be:
+
+- Retrospective
+- Sprint Planning
+- Collaborative Brainstorming Sessions
+
+## Workflow Customization (Official Support Coming Post Beta)
+
+Similar to Workflow Inheritance, Workflow Customization will soon be allowed for certain workflows that are meant to be user customized - similar in process to how agents are customized now.
+
+This will take the shape of workflows with optional hooks, configurable inputs, and the ability to replace whole at install time.
+
+For example, assume you are using the Create PRD workflow, which is comprised of 11 steps, and you want to always include specifics about your companies domain, technical landscape or something else. While project-context can be helpful with that, you can also through hooks and step overrides, have full replace steps, the key requirement being to ensure your step replace file is an exact file name match of an existing step, follows all conventions, and ends in a similar fashion to either hook back in to call the next existing step, or more custom steps that eventually hook back into the flow.

+
+## Multi-Agent Collaboration
+
+### Party Mode
+
+All agents have access to `party-mode`, which brings multiple agents together for complex decisions. Use this when:
+
+- A decision spans multiple domains (design + technical)
+- You want diverse perspectives
+- You're stuck and need fresh ideas
+
+### Handoffs
+
+Agents naturally hand off to each other:
+
+```
+Game Designer → Game Architect → Game Scrum Master → Game Developer
+    ↓                ↓                  ↓                  ↓
+  GDD          Architecture      Sprint/Stories      Implementation
+                     ↓                                     ↓
+                 Game QA ←──────────────────────────── Game QA
+                     ↓                                     ↓
+              Test Strategy                         Automated Tests
+```
+
+Game QA integrates at multiple points:
+
+- After Architecture: Define test strategy
+- During Implementation: Create automated tests
+- Before Release: Performance and certification testing
+
+---
+
+## Project Context
+
+All agents share the principle:
+
+> "Find if this exists, if it does, always treat it as the bible I plan and execute against: `**/project-context.md`"
+
+The `project-context.md` file (if present) serves as the authoritative source for project decisions and constraints.

+## Hybrid Game Types
+
+Many games combine multiple genres. BMGD supports hybrid selection:
+
+### Examples
+
+**Action RPG** = Action Platformer + RPG
+
+- Movement and combat systems from Action Platformer
+- Progression and stats from RPG
+
+**Survival Horror** = Survival + Horror
+
+- Resource and crafting from Survival
+- Atmosphere and fear from Horror
+
+**Roguelike Deckbuilder** = Roguelike + Card Game
+
+- Run structure from Roguelike
+- Card mechanics from Card Game
+
+### How to Use Hybrids
+
+During GDD creation, select multiple game types when prompted:
+
+```
+Agent: What game type best describes your game?
+You: It's a roguelike with card game combat
+Agent: I'll include sections for both Roguelike and Card Game...
+```
+
+---
+
+## Game Type Selection Tips
+
+### 1. Start with Core Fantasy
+
+What does the player primarily DO in your game?
+
+- Run and jump? → Platformer types
+- Build and manage? → Simulation types
+- Fight enemies? → Combat types
+- Make choices? → Narrative types
+
+### 2. Consider Your Loop
+
+What's the core gameplay loop?
+
+- Session-based runs? → Roguelike
+- Long-term progression? → RPG
+- Quick matches? → Multiplayer types
+- Creative expression? → Sandbox
+
+### 3. Don't Over-Combine
+
+2-3 game types maximum. More than that usually means your design isn't focused enough.
+
+### 4. Primary vs Secondary
+
+One type should be primary (most gameplay time). Others add flavor:
+
+- **Primary:** Platformer (core movement and exploration)
+- **Secondary:** Metroidvania (ability gating structure)
+
+---
+
+## GDD Section Mapping

+# BMGD Quick-Flow Guide
+
+Fast-track workflows for rapid game prototyping and flexible development.
+
+---
+
+## Game Solo Dev Agent
+
+For dedicated quick-flow development, use the **Game Solo Dev** agent (Indie). This agent is optimized for solo developers and small teams who want to skip the full planning phases and ship fast.
+
+**Switch to Game Solo Dev:** Type `@game-solo-dev` or select the agent from your IDE.
+
+The Game Solo Dev agent includes:
+
+- `quick-prototype` - Rapid mechanic testing
+- `quick-dev` - Flexible feature implementation
+- `create-tech-spec` - Create implementation-ready specs
+- `code-review` - Quality checks
+- `test-framework` - Automated testing setup
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Quick-flow workflows skip the full BMGD planning phases when you need to move fast. Use them for:
+
+- Testing a game mechanic idea
+- Implementing a small feature
+- Rapid prototyping before committing to design
+- Bug fixes and tweaks
+
+```
+Full BMGD Flow:
+Brief → GDD → Architecture → Sprint Planning → Stories → Implementation
+
+Quick-Flow:
+Idea → Quick-Prototype → Quick-Dev → Done
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick-Prototype
+
+**Command:** `quick-prototype`
+**Agent:** Game Designer, Game Developer
+**Purpose:** Rapidly test gameplay ideas with minimal setup
+
+### When to Use
+
+- You have a mechanic idea and want to test the "feel"
+- You're not sure if something will be fun
+- You want to experiment before committing to design
+- You need a proof of concept
+
+### Workflow Steps
+
+1. **Define Scope** - What are you prototyping? (mechanic, feature, system)
+2. **Set Success Criteria** - How will you know if it works?
+3. **Rapid Implementation** - Build the minimum to test the idea
+4. **Playtest and Evaluate** - Does it feel right?
+
+### Prototype Principles
+
+- **Minimum Viable Prototype** - Only what's needed to test the idea
+- **Hardcode First** - Magic numbers are fine, extract later
+- **Skip Edge Cases** - Happy path only for now
+- **Placeholder Everything** - Cubes, debug text, temp sounds
+- **Comment Intent** - Mark what's temporary vs keeper code
+
+### Example Session
+
+```
+You: quick-prototype
+
+Agent: What are you prototyping?
+
+You: I want to test a grappling hook mechanic. Player should be
+     able to aim at surfaces and pull themselves toward the hook point.
+
+Agent: What makes this prototype successful?
+
+You: 1. Aiming feels responsive and intuitive
+     2. The pull movement feels satisfying, not floaty
+     3. Player can chain hooks without awkward pauses
+
+Agent: [Implements minimal grappling hook]
+
+Agent: Prototype complete! Playtest results:
+     - Aiming: Works, consider adding aim assist
+     - Movement: Pull is smooth, might need speed curve
+     - Chaining: Currently has 0.2s delay, feels sluggish
+
+     Next: [d] Develop further | [i] Iterate | [a] Archive
+```
+
+### After Prototyping
+
+- **Develop** (`d`) - Use `quick-dev` to build production code
+- **Iterate** (`i`) - Adjust and re-test the prototype
+- **Archive** (`a`) - Keep as reference, move on to other ideas
+
+---
+
+## Quick-Dev
+
+**Command:** `quick-dev`
+**Agent:** Game Developer
+**Purpose:** Flexible development with game-specific considerations
+
+### When to Use
+
+- Implementing a feature from a tech-spec
+- Building on a successful prototype
+- Making changes that don't need full story workflow
+- Quick fixes and improvements
+
+### Workflow Modes
+
+**Mode A: Tech-Spec Driven**
+
+```
+You: quick-dev tech-spec-combat.md
+Agent: [Loads spec, extracts tasks, implements]
+```
+
+**Mode B: Direct Instructions**
+
+```
+You: quick-dev implement double-jump for the player
+Agent: [Evaluates complexity, offers planning options]
+```
+
+**Mode C: From Prototype**
+
+```
+You: quick-dev from the grappling hook prototype
+Agent: [Loads prototype, productionizes code]
+```
+
+### Game-Specific Checks
+
+Quick-dev includes automatic consideration of:
+
+- **Performance** - No allocations in hot paths, object pooling
+- **Feel** - Input responsiveness, visual/audio feedback
+- **Integration** - Save/load, multiplayer sync, platform testing
+
+### Example Session
+
+```
+You: quick-dev implement enemy patrol behavior
+
+Agent: This looks like a focused feature. Options:
+       [t] Plan first - Create tech-spec (recommended)
+       [r] Prototype first - Test the idea
+       [e] Execute directly
+
+You: e
+
+Agent: Any additional guidance? (patterns, files, constraints)
+
+You: Use the existing AIController base class. Enemies should
+     patrol between waypoints and return if player leaves range.
+
+Agent: [Implements patrol behavior]
+
+Agent: Implementation Complete!
+       Files Modified: EnemyAI.cs, PatrolBehavior.cs
+       Tests: Unit tests added for patrol state machine
+       Performance: No per-frame allocations
+
+       Recommended: Playtest the changes
+```
+
+### Complexity Routing
+
+Quick-dev automatically detects complex requests and offers alternatives:
+
+| Signals                                | Recommendation         |
+| -------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
+| Single mechanic, bug fix, tweak        | Execute directly       |
+| Multiple systems, performance-critical | Plan first (tech-spec) |
+| Platform/system level work             | Use full BMGD workflow |
+
+---
+
+## Choosing Between Quick-Flows
+
+| Scenario                | Use                             |
+| ----------------------- | ------------------------------- |
+| "Will this be fun?"     | `quick-prototype`               |
+| "How should this feel?" | `quick-prototype`               |
+| "Build this feature"    | `quick-dev`                     |
+| "Fix this bug"          | `quick-dev`                     |
+| "Test then build"       | `quick-prototype` → `quick-dev` |
+
+---
+
+## Quick-Flow vs Full BMGD
+
+### Use Quick-Flow When
+
+- The scope is small and well-understood
+- You're experimenting or prototyping
+- You have a clear tech-spec already
+- The work doesn't affect core game systems significantly
+
+### Use Full BMGD When
+
+- Building a major feature or system
+- The scope is unclear or large
+- Multiple team members need alignment
+- The work affects game pillars or core loop
+- You need documentation for future reference
+
+---
+
+## Checklists
+
+### Quick-Prototype Checklist
+
+**Before:**
+
+- [ ] Prototype scope defined
+- [ ] Success criteria established (2-3 items)
+
+**During:**
+
+- [ ] Minimum viable code written
+- [ ] Placeholder assets used
+- [ ] Core functionality testable
+
+**After:**
+
+- [ ] Each criterion evaluated
+- [ ] Decision made (develop/iterate/archive)
+
+### Quick-Dev Checklist
+
+**Before:**
+
+- [ ] Context loaded (spec, prototype, or guidance)
+- [ ] Files to modify identified
+- [ ] Patterns understood
+
+**During:**
+
+- [ ] All tasks completed
+- [ ] No allocations in hot paths
+- [ ] Frame rate maintained
+
+**After:**
+
+- [ ] Game runs without errors
+- [ ] Feature works as specified
+- [ ] Manual playtest completed
+
+---
+
+## Tips for Success
+
+### 1. Timebox Prototypes
+
+Set a limit (e.g., 2 hours) for prototyping. If it's not working by then, step back and reconsider.
+
+### 2. Embrace Programmer Art
+
+Prototypes don't need to look good. Focus on feel, not visuals.
+
+### 3. Test on Target Hardware
+
+What feels right on your dev machine might not feel right on target platform.
+
+### 4. Document Learnings
+
+Even failed prototypes teach something. Note what you learned.
+
+### 5. Know When to Graduate
+
+If quick-dev keeps expanding scope, stop and create proper stories.

+Agent: [Walks you through game concept, pillars, market, and fundamentals]
+```
+
+**Output:** `{output_folder}/game-brief.md`
+
+### Step 3: Create Your GDD
+
+Detail your game's design:
+
+```
+You: create-gdd
+Agent: [Guides you through mechanics, systems, and game-type-specific sections]
+```
+
+**Output:** `{output_folder}/gdd.md` (or sharded into `{output_folder}/gdd/`)
+
+### Step 4: Add Narrative Design (If Story-Driven)
+
+For games with significant story:
+
+```
+You: narrative
+Agent: [Facilitates story, characters, world, and dialogue design]
+```
+
+**Output:** `{output_folder}/narrative-design.md`
+
+### Step 5: Create Architecture
+
+Plan your technical implementation:
+
+```
+You: create-architecture
+Agent: [Guides engine selection, system design, and technical decisions]
+```
+
+**Output:** `{output_folder}/game-architecture.md`
+
+### Step 6: Start Building
+
+Begin sprint-based development:
+
+```
+You: sprint-planning
+Agent: [Sets up sprint tracking and epic management]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Choosing Your Agent

+# BMGD Troubleshooting
+
+Common issues and solutions when using BMGD workflows.
+
+---
+
+## Installation Issues
+
+### BMGD module not appearing
+
+**Symptom:** BMGD agents and workflows are not available after installation.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Verify BMGD was selected during installation
+2. Check `_bmad/bmgd/` folder exists in your project
+3. Re-run installer with `--add-module bmgd`
+
+---
+
+### Config file missing
+
+**Symptom:** Workflows fail with "config not found" errors.
+
+**Solution:**
+Check for `_bmad/bmgd/config.yaml` in your project. If missing, create it:
+
+```yaml
+# BMGD Configuration
+output_folder: '{project-root}/docs/game-design'
+user_name: 'Your Name'
+communication_language: 'English'
+document_output_language: 'English'
+game_dev_experience: 'intermediate'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Workflow Issues
+
+### "GDD not found" in Narrative workflow
+
+**Symptom:** Narrative workflow can't find the GDD.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Ensure GDD exists in `{output_folder}`
+2. Check GDD filename contains "gdd" (e.g., `game-gdd.md`, `my-gdd.md`)
+3. If using sharded GDD, verify `{output_folder}/gdd/index.md` exists
+
+---
+
+### Workflow state not persisting
+
+**Symptom:** Returning to a workflow starts from the beginning.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Check the output document's frontmatter for `stepsCompleted` array
+2. Ensure document was saved before ending session
+3. Use "Continue existing" option when re-entering workflow
+
+---
+
+### Wrong game type sections in GDD
+
+**Symptom:** GDD includes irrelevant sections for your game type.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Review game type selection at Step 7 of GDD workflow
+2. You can select multiple types for hybrid games
+3. Irrelevant sections can be marked N/A or removed
+
+---
+
+## Agent Issues
+
+### Agent not recognizing commands
+
+**Symptom:** Typing a command like `create-gdd` doesn't trigger the workflow.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Ensure you're chatting with the correct agent (Game Designer for GDD)
+2. Check exact command spelling (case-sensitive)
+3. Try `workflow-status` to verify agent is loaded correctly
+
+---
+
+### Agent using wrong persona
+
+**Symptom:** Agent responses don't match expected personality.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Verify correct agent file is loaded
+2. Check `_bmad/bmgd/agents/` for agent definitions
+3. Start a fresh chat session with the correct agent
+
+---
+
+## Document Issues
+
+### Document too large for context
+
+**Symptom:** AI can't process the entire GDD or narrative document.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Use sharded document structure (index.md + section files)
+2. Request specific sections rather than full document
+3. GDD workflow supports automatic sharding for large documents
+
+---
+
+### Template placeholders not replaced
+
+**Symptom:** Output contains `{{placeholder}}` text.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Workflow may have been interrupted before completion
+2. Re-run the specific step that generates that section
+3. Manually edit the document to fill in missing values
+
+---
+
+### Frontmatter parsing errors
+
+**Symptom:** YAML errors when loading documents.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Validate YAML syntax (proper indentation, quotes around special characters)
+2. Check for tabs vs spaces (YAML requires spaces)
+3. Ensure frontmatter is bounded by `---` markers
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 (Production) Issues
+
+### Sprint status not updating
+
+**Symptom:** Story status changes don't reflect in sprint-status.yaml.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Run `sprint-planning` to refresh status
+2. Check file permissions on sprint-status.yaml
+3. Verify workflow-install files exist in `_bmad/bmgd/workflows/4-production/`
+
+---
+
+### Story context missing code references
+
+**Symptom:** Generated story context doesn't include relevant code.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Ensure project-context.md exists and is current
+2. Check that architecture document references correct file paths
+3. Story may need more specific file references in acceptance criteria
+
+---
+
+### Code review not finding issues
+
+**Symptom:** Code review passes but bugs exist.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Code review is AI-assisted, not comprehensive testing
+2. Always run actual tests before marking story done
+3. Consider manual review for critical code paths
+
+---
+
+## Performance Issues
+
+### Workflows running slowly
+
+**Symptom:** Long wait times between workflow steps.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Use IDE-based workflows (faster than web)
+2. Keep documents concise (avoid unnecessary detail)
+3. Use sharded documents for large projects
+
+---
+
+### Context limit reached mid-workflow
+
+**Symptom:** Workflow stops or loses context partway through.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Save progress frequently (workflows auto-save on Continue)
+2. Break complex sections into multiple sessions
+3. Use step-file architecture (workflows resume from last step)
+
+---
+
+## Common Error Messages
+
+### "Input file not found"
+
+**Cause:** Workflow requires a document that doesn't exist.
+
+**Fix:** Complete prerequisite workflow first (e.g., Game Brief before GDD).
+
+---
+
+### "Invalid game type"
+
+**Cause:** Selected game type not in supported list.
+
+**Fix:** Check `game-types.csv` for valid type IDs.
+
+---
+
+### "Validation failed"
+
+**Cause:** Document doesn't meet checklist requirements.
+
+**Fix:** Review the validation output and address flagged items.

+# BMM Documentation
+
+Complete guides for the BMad Method Module (BMM) - AI-powered agile development workflows that adapt to your project's complexity.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Getting Started
+
+**New to BMM?** Start here:
+
+- **[Quick Start Guide](./quick-start.md)** - Step-by-step guide to building your first project
+  - Installation and setup
+  - Understanding the four phases
+  - Running your first workflows
+  - Agent-based development flow
+
+**Quick Path:** Install → workflow-init → Follow agent guidance
+
+### 📊 Visual Overview
+
+**[Complete Workflow Diagram](./images/workflow-method-greenfield.svg)** - Visual flowchart showing all phases, agents (color-coded), and decision points for the BMad Method standard greenfield track.
+
+## 📖 Core Concepts
+
+The BMad Method is meant to be adapted and customized to your specific needs. In this realm there is no one size fits all - your needs are unique, and BMad Method is meant to support this (and if it does not, can be further customized or extended with new modules).
+
+First know there is the full BMad Method Process and then there is a Quick Flow for those quicker smaller efforts.
+
+- **[Full Adaptive BMad Method](#-workflow-guides)** - Full planning and scope support through extensive development and testing.
+  - Broken down into 4 phases, all of which are comprised of both required and optional phases
+    - Phases 1-3 are all about progressive idea development through planning and preparations to build your project.
+    - Phase 4 is the implementation cycle where you will Just In Time (JIT) produce the contextual stories needed for the dev agent based on the extensive planing completed
+    - All 4 phases have optional steps in them, depending on how rigorous you want to go with planning, research ideation, validation, testing and traceability.
+  - While there is a lot here, know that even this can be distilled down to a simple PRD, Epic and Story list and then jump into the dev cycle. But if that is all you want, you might be better off with the BMad Quick Flow described next
+
+- **[BMAD Quick Flow](./bmad-quick-flow.md)** - Fast-track development workflow
+  - 3-step process: spec → dev → optional review
+  - Perfect for bug fixes and small features
+  - Rapid prototyping with production quality
+  - Implementation in minutes, not days
+  - Has a specialized single agent that does all of this: **[Quick Flow Solo Dev Agent](./quick-flow-solo-dev.md)**
+
+## 🤖 Agents and Collaboration
+
+Complete guide to BMM's AI agent team:
+
+- **[Agents Guide](./agents-guide.md)** - Comprehensive agent reference

-## When NOT to Use Party Mode
-
-**Skip party mode for:**
-
-- Simple implementation questions → Use DEV agent
-- Document review → Use Technical Writer
-- Workflow status checks → Use any agent + `*workflow-status`
-- Single-domain questions → Use specialist agent
-
-**Use party mode for:**
-
-- Multi-perspective decisions
-- Creative collaboration
-- Post-mortems and retrospectives
-- Sprint planning sessions
-- Complex problem-solving
-
----
-
-## Agent Customization
-
-Party mode uses agents from `{bmad_folder}/[module]/agents/*.md` - these already include any customizations you applied during install.
-
-**To customize agents for party mode:**
-
-1. Create customization file: `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml`
-2. Run `npx bmad-method install` to rebuild agents
-3. Customizations now active in party mode
-
-Example customization:
-
-```yaml
-agent:
-  persona:
-    principles:
-      - 'HIPAA compliance is non-negotiable'
-      - 'Patient safety over feature velocity'
-```
-
-See [Agents Guide](./agents-guide.md#agent-customization) for details.

-## BMM Workflows That Use Party Mode
-
-**Current:**
-
-- `epic-retrospective` - Post-epic team retrospective powered by party mode
-- Sprint planning discussions (informal party mode usage)
-
-**Future:**
-
-- Advanced elicitation workflows will officially integrate party mode
-- Multi-agent requirement validation
-- Collaborative technical reviews
-
----
-
-## Available Agents
-
-Party mode can include **19+ agents** from all installed modules:
-
-**BMM (12 agents):** PM, Analyst, Architect, SM, DEV, TEA, UX Designer, Technical Writer, Game Designer, Game Developer, Game Architect
-
-**CIS (5 agents):** Brainstorming Coach, Creative Problem Solver, Design Thinking Coach, Innovation Strategist, Storyteller
-
-**BMB (1 agent):** BMad Builder
-
-**Core (1 agent):** BMad Master (orchestrator)
-
-**Custom:** Any agents you've created
-
----
-
-## Tips
-
-**Get better results:**
-
-- Be specific with your topic/question
-- Provide context (project type, constraints, goals)
-- Direct specific agents when you want their expertise
-- Make decisions - party mode informs, you decide
-- Time box discussions (15-30 minutes is usually plenty)
-
-**Examples of good opening questions:**
-
-- "We need to decide between REST and GraphQL for our mobile API. Project is a B2B SaaS with 50 enterprise clients."
-- "Our last sprint failed spectacularly. Let's discuss what went wrong with authentication implementation."
-- "Brainstorm: how can we make our game's tutorial feel rewarding instead of tedious?"
-
----
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Same agents responding every time?**
-Vary your questions or explicitly request other perspectives: "Game Designer, your thoughts?"
-
-**Discussion going in circles?**
-BMad Master will summarize and redirect, or you can make a decision and move on.
-
-**Too many agents talking?**
-Make your topic more specific - BMad Master picks 2-3 agents based on relevance.
-
-**Agents not using customizations?**
-Make sure you ran `npx bmad-method install` after creating customization files.

+# Document Project Workflow - Technical Reference
+
+**Module:** BMM (BMAD Method Module)
+
+## Purpose
+
+Analyzes and documents brownfield projects by scanning codebase, architecture, and patterns to create comprehensive reference documentation for AI-assisted development. Generates a master index and multiple documentation files tailored to project structure and type.
+
+## How to Invoke
+```bash
+/bmad:bmm:workflows:document-project
+```
+---
+
+## Scan Levels
+
+Choose the right scan depth for your needs:
+
+### 1. Quick Scan (Default)
+
+**What it does:** Pattern-based analysis without reading source files
+**Reads:** Config files, package manifests, directory structure, README
+**Use when:**
+
+- You need a fast project overview
+- Initial understanding of project structure
+- Planning next steps before deeper analysis
+
+**Does NOT read:** Source code files (`_.js`, `_.ts`, `_.py`, `_.go`, etc.)
+
+### 2. Deep Scan
+
+**What it does:** Reads files in critical directories based on project type
+**Reads:** Files in critical paths defined by documentation requirements
+**Use when:**
+
+- Creating comprehensive documentation for brownfield PRD
+- Need detailed analysis of key areas
+- Want balance between depth and speed
+
+**Example:** For a web app, reads controllers/, models/, components/, but not every utility file
+
+### 3. Exhaustive Scan
+
+**What it does:** Reads ALL source files in project
+**Reads:** Every source file (excludes node_modules, dist, build, .git)
+**Use when:**
+
+- Complete project analysis needed
+- Migration planning requires full understanding
+- Detailed audit of entire codebase
+- Deep technical debt assessment
+
+**Note:** Deep-dive mode ALWAYS uses exhaustive scan (no choice)
+
+---
+
+## Resumability
+
+The workflow can be interrupted and resumed without losing progress:
+
+- **State Tracking:** Progress saved in `project-scan-report.json`
+- **Auto-Detection:** Workflow detects incomplete runs (<24 hours old)
+- **Resume Prompt:** Choose to resume or start fresh
+- **Step-by-Step:** Resume from exact step where interrupted
+- **Archiving:** Old state files automatically archived

-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Don't Over-Invest in Analysis
-
-Analysis is optional. If requirements are clear, skip to Phase 2 (Planning).
-
-### 2. Iterate Between Workflows
-
-Common pattern: brainstorm → research (validate) → brief (synthesize)
-
-### 3. Document Assumptions
-
-Analysis surfaces and validates assumptions. Document them explicitly for planning to challenge.
-
-### 4. Keep It Strategic
-
-Focus on "what" and "why", not "how". Leave implementation for Planning and Solutioning.
-
-### 5. Involve Stakeholders
-
-Use analysis workflows to align stakeholders before committing to detailed planning.

-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Q: Do I need to run all analysis workflows?**
-A: No! Analysis is entirely optional. Use only workflows that help you think through your problem.
-
-**Q: Which workflow should I start with?**
-A: If unsure, start with `research` (market type) to validate viability, then move to `product-brief`.
-
-**Q: Can I skip straight to Planning?**
-A: Yes! If you know what you're building and why, skip Phase 1 entirely and start with Phase 2 (prd/tech-spec).
-
-**Q: How long should Analysis take?**
-A: Typically hours to 1-2 days. If taking longer, you may be over-analyzing. Move to Planning.
-
-**Q: What if I discover problems during Analysis?**
-A: That's the point! Analysis helps you fail fast and pivot before heavy planning investment.
-
-**Q: Should brownfield projects do Analysis?**
-A: Usually no. Start with `document-project` (Documentation prerequisite), then skip to Planning (Phase 2).

+| **create-ux-design** | UX Designer | BMad Method, Enterprise | Optional UX specification (after PRD) |
+
+### prd (Product Requirements Document)
+
+**Purpose:** Strategic PRD with Functional Requirements (FRs) and Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) for software products (BMad Method track).
+
+**Agent:** PM (with Architect and Analyst support)
+
+**When to Use:**
+
+- Medium to large feature sets
+- Multi-screen user experiences
+- Complex business logic
+- Multiple system integrations
+- Phased delivery required
+
+**Scale-Adaptive Structure:**
+
+- **Light:** Focused FRs/NFRs, simplified analysis (10-15 pages)
+- **Standard:** Comprehensive FRs/NFRs, thorough analysis (20-30 pages)
+- **Comprehensive:** Extensive FRs/NFRs, multi-phase, stakeholder analysis (30-50+ pages)
+
+**Key Outputs:**
+
+- PRD.md (complete requirements with FRs and NFRs)
+
+**Note:** V6 improvement - PRD focuses on WHAT to build (requirements). Epic+Stories are created AFTER architecture via `create-epics-and-stories` workflow for better quality.
+
+**Integration:** Feeds into Architecture (Phase 3)
+
+**Example:** E-commerce checkout → PRD with 15 FRs (user account, cart management, payment flow) and 8 NFRs (performance, security, scalability).
+
+---
+
+### create-ux-design (UX Design)
+
+**Purpose:** UX specification for projects where user experience is the primary differentiator (BMad Method track).
+
+**Agent:** UX Designer
+
+**When to Use:**
+
+- UX is primary competitive advantage
+- Complex user workflows needing design thinking
+- Innovative interaction patterns
+- Design system creation
+- Accessibility-critical experiences
+
+**Collaborative Approach:**
+
+1. Visual exploration (generate multiple options)
+2. Informed decisions (evaluate with user needs)
+3. Collaborative design (refine iteratively)
+4. Living documentation (evolves with project)
+
+**Key Outputs:**
+
+- ux-spec.md (complete UX specification)
+- User journeys
+- Wireframes and mockups
+- Interaction specifications
+- Design system (components, patterns, tokens)
+- Epic breakdown (UX stories)
+
+**Integration:** Feeds PRD or updates epics, then Architecture (Phase 3)
+
+**Example:** Dashboard redesign → Card-based layout with split-pane toggle, 5 card components, 12 color tokens, responsive grid, 3 epics (Layout, Visualization, Accessibility).
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Do Product Brief from Phase 1 to kickstart the PRD for better results
+
+### 2. Focus on "What" Not "How"
+
+Planning defines **what** to build and **why**. Leave **how** (technical design) to Phase 3 (Solutioning).
+
+### 3. Document-Project First for Brownfield
+
+Always run `document-project` before planning brownfield projects. AI agents need existing codebase context and will make a large quality difference. If you are adding a small addition to an existing project, you might want to consider instead after using document-project to use the quick flow solo dev process instead.

+# Advanced Elicitation
+
+**Push the LLM to rethink its work through 50+ reasoning methods—essentially, LLM brainstorming.**
+
+Advanced Elicitation is the inverse of Brainstorming. Instead of pulling ideas out of you, the LLM applies sophisticated reasoning techniques to re-examine and enhance content it has just generated. It's the LLM brainstorming with itself to find better approaches, uncover hidden issues, and discover improvements it missed on the first pass.
+
+---
+
+## When to Use It
+
+- After a workflow generates a section of content and you want to explore alternatives
+- When the LLM's initial output seems adequate but you suspect there's more depth available
+- For high-stakes content where multiple perspectives would strengthen the result
+- To stress-test assumptions, explore edge cases, or find weaknesses in generated plans
+- When you want the LLM to "think again" but with structured reasoning methods
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Context Analysis
+The LLM analyzes the current content, understanding its type, complexity, stakeholder needs, risk level, and creative potential.
+
+### 2. Smart Method Selection
+Based on context, 5 methods are intelligently selected from a library of 50+ techniques and presented to you:
+
+| Option            | Description                              |
+| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| **1-5**           | Apply the selected method to the content |
+| **[r] Reshuffle** | Get 5 new methods selected randomly      |
+| **[a] List All**  | Browse the complete method library       |
+| **[x] Proceed**   | Continue with enhanced content           |
+
+### 3. Method Execution & Iteration
+- The selected method is applied to the current content
+- Improvements are shown for your review
+- You choose whether to apply changes or discard them
+- The menu re-appears for additional elicitations
+- Each method builds on previous enhancements
+
+### 4. Party Mode Integration (Optional)
+If Party Mode is active, BMAD agents participate randomly in the elicitation process, adding their unique perspectives to the methods.
+
+---
+
+## Method Categories
+
+| Category          | Focus                               | Example Methods                                                |

+| **Advanced**      | Complex reasoning frameworks        | Tree of Thoughts, Graph of Thoughts, Self-Consistency          |
+| **Competitive**   | Adversarial stress-testing          | Red Team vs Blue Team, Shark Tank Pitch, Code Review Gauntlet  |
+| **Technical**     | Architecture and code quality       | Decision Records, Rubber Duck Debugging, Algorithm Olympics    |
+| **Creative**      | Innovation and lateral thinking     | SCAMPER, Reverse Engineering, Random Input Stimulus            |
+| **Research**      | Evidence-based analysis             | Literature Review Personas, Thesis Defense, Comparative Matrix |
+| **Risk**          | Risk identification and mitigation  | Pre-mortem Analysis, Failure Mode Analysis, Chaos Monkey       |
+| **Learning**      | Understanding verification          | Feynman Technique, Active Recall Testing                       |
+| **Philosophical** | Conceptual clarity                  | Occam's Razor, Ethical Dilemmas                                |
+| **Retrospective** | Reflection and lessons              | Hindsight Reflection, Lessons Learned Extraction               |
+
+---
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **50+ reasoning methods** — Spanning core logic to advanced multi-step reasoning frameworks
+- **Smart context selection** — Methods chosen based on content type, complexity, and stakeholder needs
+- **Iterative enhancement** — Each method builds on previous improvements
+- **User control** — Accept or discard each enhancement before proceeding
+- **Party Mode integration** — Agents can participate when Party Mode is active
+
+---
+
+## Workflow Integration
+
+Advanced Elicitation is a core workflow designed to be invoked by other workflows during content generation:
+
+| Parameter              | Description                                               |
+| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Content to enhance** | The current section content that was just generated       |
+| **Context type**       | The kind of content being created (spec, code, doc, etc.) |
+| **Enhancement goals**  | What the calling workflow wants to improve                |
+
+### Integration Flow
+
+When called from a workflow:
+1. Receives the current section content that was just generated
+2. Applies elicitation methods iteratively to enhance that content
+3. Returns the enhanced version when user selects 'x' to proceed
+4. The enhanced content replaces the original section in the output document
+
+### Example
+
+A specification generation workflow could invoke Advanced Elicitation after producing each major section (requirements, architecture, implementation plan). The workflow would pass the generated section, and Advanced Elicitation would offer methods like "Stakeholder Round Table" to gather diverse perspectives on requirements, or "Red Team vs Blue Team" to stress-test the architecture for vulnerabilities.

+- **Continuation support** — Pause sessions and return later, or extend with additional techniques
+
+---
+
+## Workflow Integration
+
+Brainstorming is a core workflow designed to be invoked and configured by other modules. When called from another workflow, it accepts contextual parameters:
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| **Topic focus** | What the brainstorming should help discover or solve |
+| **Guardrails** | Constraints, boundaries, or must-avoid areas |
+| **Output goals** | What the final output needs to accomplish for the calling workflow |
+| **Context files** | Project-specific guidance to inform technique selection |
+
+### Example
+
+When creating a new module in the BMad Builder workflow, Brainstorming can be invoked with guardrails around the module's purpose and a goal to discover key features, user needs, or architectural considerations. The session becomes focused on producing exactly what the module creation workflow needs.

+# Core Tasks
+
+Core Tasks are reusable task definitions that can be invoked by any BMAD module, workflow, or agent. These tasks provide standardized functionality for common operations.
+
+## Table of Contents
+
+- [Index Docs](#index-docs) — Generate directory index files
+- [Adversarial Review](#adversarial-review-general) — Critical content review
+- [Shard Document](#shard-document) — Split large documents into sections
+
+---
+
+## Index Docs
+
+**Generates or updates an index.md file documenting all documents in a specified directory.**
+
+This task scans a target directory, reads file contents to understand their purpose, and creates a well-organized index with accurate descriptions. Files are grouped by type, purpose, or subdirectory, and descriptions are generated from actual content rather than guessing from filenames.
+
+**Use it when:** You need to create navigable documentation for a folder of markdown files, or you want to maintain an updated index as content evolves.
+
+**How it works:**
+1. Scan the target directory for files and subdirectories
+2. Group content by type, purpose, or location
+3. Read each file to generate brief (3-10 word) descriptions based on actual content
+4. Create or update index.md with organized listings using relative paths
+
+**Output format:** A markdown index with sections for Files and Subdirectories, each entry containing a relative link and description.
+
+---
+
+## Adversarial Review (General)
+
+**Performs a cynical, skeptical review of any content to identify issues and improvement opportunities.**
+
+This task applies adversarial thinking to content review—approaching the material with the assumption that problems exist. It's designed to find what's missing, not just what's wrong, and produces at least ten specific findings. The reviewer adopts a professional but skeptical tone, looking for gaps, inconsistencies, oversights, and areas that need clarification.
+
+**Use it when:** You need a critical eye on code diffs, specifications, user stories, documentation, or any artifact before finalizing. It's particularly valuable before merging code, releasing documentation, or considering a specification complete.
+
+**How it works:**
+1. Load the content to review (diff, branch, uncommitted changes, document, etc.)
+2. Perform adversarial analysis with extreme skepticism—assume problems exist
+3. Find at least ten issues to fix or improve
+4. Output findings as a markdown list
+
+**Note:** This task is designed to run in a separate subagent/process with read access to the project but no prior context, ensuring an unbiased review.
+
+---
+
+## Shard Document
+
+**Splits large markdown documents into smaller, organized files based on level 2 (##) sections.**
+
+Uses the `@kayvan/markdown-tree-parser` tool to automatically break down large documents into a folder structure. Each level 2 heading becomes a separate file, and an index.md is generated to tie everything together. This makes large documents more maintainable and allows for easier navigation and updates to individual sections.
+
+**Use it when:** A markdown file has grown too large to effectively work with, or you want to break a monolithic document into manageable sections that can be edited independently.
+
+**How it works:**
+1. Confirm source document path and verify it's a markdown file
+2. Determine destination folder (defaults to same location as source, folder named after document)
+3. Execute the sharding command using npx @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser
+4. Verify output files and index.md were created
+5. Handle the original document—delete, move to archive, or keep with warning
+
+**Handling the original:** After sharding, the task prompts you to delete, archive, or keep the original document. Deleting or archiving is recommended to avoid confusion and ensure updates happen in the sharded files only.

+
+## What is Document Sharding?
+
+Document sharding splits large markdown files into smaller, organized files based on level 2 headings (`## Heading`). This enables:
+
+- **Selective Loading** - Workflows load only the sections they need
+- **Reduced Token Usage** - Massive efficiency gains for large projects
+- **Better Organization** - Logical section-based file structure
+- **Maintained Context** - Index file preserves document structure
+
+### Architecture
+
+```
+Before Sharding:

+└── PRD.md (large 50k token file)
+
+After Sharding:

+└── prd/
+    ├── index.md                    # Table of contents with descriptions
+    ├── overview.md                 # Section 1

+    ├── technical-requirements.md   # Section 3
+    └── ...                         # Additional sections
+```
+
+## When to Use Sharding
+
+### Ideal Candidates
+
+**Large Multi-Epic Projects:**
+
+- Very large complex PRDs
+- Architecture documents with multiple system layers
+- Epic files with 4+ epics (especially for Phase 4)
+- UX design specs covering multiple subsystems
+
+## How Sharding Works
+
+### Sharding Process
+
+1. **Tool Execution**: Run `npx @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser source.md destination/` - this is abstracted with the core shard-doc task which is installed as a slash command or manual task rule depending on your tools.
+2. **Section Extraction**: Tool splits by level 2 headings
+3. **File Creation**: Each section becomes a separate file
+4. **Index Generation**: `index.md` created with structure and descriptions
+
+### Workflow Discovery
+
+BMad workflows use a **dual discovery system**:
+
+1. **Try whole document first** - Look for `document-name.md`
+2. **Check for sharded version** - Look for `document-name/index.md`
+3. **Priority rule** - Whole document takes precedence if both exist - remove the whole document if you want the sharded to be used instead.
+
+## Using the Shard-Doc Tool
+
+### CLI Command
+
+```bash
+/bmad:core:tools:shard-doc 
+```
+
+### Interactive Process
+
+```
+Agent: Which document would you like to shard?
+User: docs/PRD.md
+
+Agent: Default destination: docs/prd/
+       Accept default? [y/n]
+User: y
+
+Agent: Sharding PRD.md...
+       ✓ Created 12 section files
+       ✓ Generated index.md
+       ✓ Complete!
+```
+
+### What Gets Created
+
+**index.md structure:**
+
+```markdown
+# PRD - Index
+
+## Sections
+
+1. [Overview](./overview.md) - Project vision and objectives
+2. [User Requirements](./user-requirements.md) - Feature specifications
+3. [Epic 1: Authentication](./epic-1-authentication.md) - User auth system
+4. [Epic 2: Dashboard](./epic-2-dashboard.md) - Main dashboard UI
+   ...
+```
+
+**Individual section files:**

+# Core Module Global Inheritable Config
+
+The Core Modules module.yaml file defines configuration values that are useful and unique for all other modules to utilize, and by default all other modules installed will clone the values defined in the core module yaml.config into their own. It is possible for other modules to override these values, but the general intent it to accept the core module values and define their own values as needed, or extend the core values.
+
+Currently, the core module.yaml config will define (asking the user upon installation, and recording to the core module config.yaml):
+- `user_name`: string (defaults to the system defined user name)
+- `communication_language`: string (defaults to english)
+- `document_output_language`: string (defaults to english)
+- `output_folder`: string (default `_bmad-output`)
+
+An example of extending one of these values, in the BMad Method module.yaml it defines a planning_artifacts config, which will default to `default: "{output_folder}/planning-artifacts"` thus whatever the output_folder will be, this extended versions default will use the value from this core module and append a new folder onto it. The user can choose to replace this without utilizing the output_folder from the core if they so chose.

+# Party Mode
+
+**Orchestrate dynamic multi-agent conversations with your entire BMAD team.**
+
+Party Mode brings together all your installed BMAD agents for collaborative discussions. Instead of working with a single agent, you can engage with multiple specialized perspectives simultaneously—each agent maintaining their unique personality, expertise, and communication style.
+
+---
+
+## When to Use It
+
+- Exploring complex topics that would benefit from diverse expert perspectives
+- Brainstorming with agents who can build on each other's ideas
+- Getting a comprehensive view across multiple domains (technical, business, creative, strategic)
+- Enjoying dynamic, agent-to-agent conversations where experts challenge and complement each other
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. Party Mode loads your complete agent roster and introduces the available team members
+2. You present a topic or question
+3. The facilitator intelligently selects 2-3 most relevant agents based on expertise needed
+4. Agents respond in character, can reference each other, and engage in natural cross-talk
+5. The conversation continues until you choose to exit
+
+---
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Intelligent agent selection** — The system analyzes your topic and selects the most relevant agents based on their expertise, capabilities, and principles
+- **Authentic personalities** — Each agent maintains their unique voice, communication style, and domain knowledge throughout the conversation
+- **Natural cross-talk** — Agents can reference each other, build on previous points, ask questions, and even respectfully disagree
+- **Optional TTS integration** — Each agent response can be read aloud with voice configurations matching their personalities
+- **Graceful exit** — Sessions conclude with personalized farewells from participating agents
+
+---
+
+## Workflow Integration
+
+Party Mode is a core workflow designed to be invoked and configured by other modules. When called from another workflow, it accepts contextual parameters:
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| **Topic focus** | Prebias the discussion toward a specific domain or question |
+| **Additional personas** | Inject expert agents into the roster at runtime for specialized perspectives |
+| **Participation constraints** | Limit which agents can contribute based on relevance |
+
+### Example
+
+A medical module workflow could invoke Party Mode with expert doctor personas added to the roster, and the conversation pre-focused on a specific diagnosis or treatment decision. The agents would then discuss the medical case with appropriate domain expertise while maintaining their distinct personalities and perspectives.

-- **Legacy folders**: Any folders starting with `.bmad`, `bmad` (lowercase), or `Bmad`
-- **IDE command artifacts**: Legacy bmad folders in IDE configuration directories (`.claude/commands/`, `.cursor/commands/`, etc.)
-
-### What Happens During Detection
-
-1. **Automatic Backup of v4 Modules**: All `.bmad-*` folders are moved to `v4-backup/` in your project root
-   - If a backup already exists, a timestamp is added to avoid conflicts
-   - Example: `.bmad-core` → `v4-backup/.bmad-core`
-   - Your project files and data are NOT affected
-
-2. **IDE Command Cleanup Recommended**: Legacy v4 IDE commands should be manually removed
-   - Located in IDE config folders: `.claude/commands/`, `.cursor/commands/`, etc.
-   - These old commands would still reference v4 folder structure if left in place
-   - The installer provides copy/paste terminal commands for your platform
-   - You can proceed without cleanup, but removing them prevents confusion with old v4 commands

-## Module Migration
-
-### Deprecated Modules
-
-| v4 Module                     | v6 Status                                        |
-| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
-| `.bmad-2d-phaser-game-dev`    | Integrated into BMM                              |
-| `.bmad-2d-unity-game-dev`     | Integrated into BMM                              |
-| `.bmad-godot-game-dev`        | Integrated into BMM                              |
-| `.bmad-*-game-dev` (any)      | Integrated into BMM                              |
-| `.bmad-infrastructure-devops` | Deprecated - New core devops agent coming in BMM |
-| `.bmad-creative-writing`      | Not adapted - New module releasing soon          |
-
-**Game Development**: All game development functionality has been consolidated and expanded within the BMM (BMad Method) module. Game-specific workflows now adapt to your game type and engine.
-
----
-
-## Architecture Changes
-
-### Folder Structure
-
-**v4 "Expansion Packs" Structure:**
-
-```
-your-project/
-├── .bmad-core/           # Was actually the BMad Method
-├── .bmad-game-dev/       # Separate expansion packs
-├── .bmad-creative-writing/
-└── .bmad-infrastructure-devops/
-```
-
-**v6 Unified Structure:**
-
-```
-your-project/
-└── {bmad_folder}/       # Single installation folder, default .bmad
-    ├── core/            # Real core framework (applies to all modules)
-    ├── bmm/             # BMad Method (software/game dev)
-    ├── bmb/             # BMad Builder (create agents/workflows)
-    ├── cis/             # Creative Intelligence Suite
-    └── _cfg/            # Your customizations
-        └── agents/      # Agent customization files
-```
-
-### Key Concept Changes
-
-- **v4 `.bmad-core`**: Was actually the BMad Method
-- **v6 `{bmad_folder}/core/`**: Is the real universal core framework
-- **v6 `{bmad_folder}/bmm/`**: Is the BMad Method module
-- **Module identification**: All modules now have a `config.yaml` file
-
----
-
-## Project Progress Migration
-
-### If You've Completed Planning Phase (PRD/Architecture) with the BMad Method:
-
-After running the v6 installer:
-
-1. **Run `workflow-init`** workflow to set up the guided workflow system
-2. **Specify your project level** when prompted:
-   - If you followed v4's full workflow (PRD → Architecture → Stories), select **Level 3 or 4**
-   - This tells v6 you've already completed planning and solutioning phases
-3. **Document paths**: Keep your existing paths during installation
-   - Default PRD/Architecture location: `docs/`
-   - Default stories location: `docs/sprint-artifacts/`
-   - **Accept these defaults** if you're already using them in v4
-
-> **Important**: v6 workflows can handle both sharded and unsharded documents. You don't need to restructure your existing PRD or architecture files.
-
-### If You're Mid-Development (Stories Created/Implemented)
-
-1. Complete the v6 installation as above
-2. Run `workflow-init` and specify Level 3 or 4
-3. When ready to continue development, run the **`sprint-planning`** workflow (Phase 4)
-
----
-
-## Agent Customization Migration
-
-### v4 Agent Customization
-
-In v4, you may have modified agent files directly in `.bmad-*` folders.
-
-### v6 Agent Customization
-
-**All customizations** now go in `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/` using customize files:
-
-**Example: Renaming an agent and changing communication style**
-
-File: `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml`
-
-```yaml
-# Customize the PM agent
-persona:
-  name: 'Captain Jack' # Override agent name
-  role: 'Swashbuckling Product Owner'
-  communication_style: |
-    - Talk like a pirate
-    - Use nautical metaphors for software concepts
-    - Always upbeat and adventurous
-```
-
-**How it works:**
-
-- Base agent: `{bmad_folder}/bmm/agents/pm.md`
-- Customization: `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml`
-- Result: Agent uses your custom name and style, but updates don't overwrite your changes
-
----
-
-## Document Compatibility
-
-### Sharded vs Unsharded Documents
-
-**Good news**: Unlike v4, v6 workflows are **fully flexible** with document structure:
-
-- ✅ Sharded documents (split into multiple files)
-- ✅ Unsharded documents (single file per section)
-- ✅ Custom sections for your project type
-- ✅ Mixed approaches
-
-All workflow files are scanned automatically. No manual configuration needed.
-
----
-
-## Installation Steps
-
-### 1. Clone Repository
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD
-cd BMAD-METHOD
-npm install
-```
-
-### 2. Run Installer on Your v4 Project
-
-```bash
-npx bmad-method install
-```
-
-**Enter the full path to your v4 project** when prompted.
-
-### 3. Follow Interactive Prompts
-
-The installer will:
-
-1. Detect v4 installation and offer to backup `.bmad-*` folders
-2. Prompt for recommended cleanup (you can skip)
-3. Let you select modules (recommend: BMM for software and or game development)
-4. Configure core settings (name, language, etc.)
-5. Configure module-specific options
-6. Configure IDE integrations
-
-### 4. Accept Default Paths
-
-If you're using:
-
-- `docs/` for PRD and architecture
-- `docs/sprint-artifacts/` for story files
-
-**Accept these defaults** during installation.
-
-### 5. Initialize Workflow
-
-After installation:
-
-1. **Load the Analyst agent** - See your IDE-specific instructions in [docs/ide-info](./ide-info/) for how to activate agents:
-   - [Claude Code](./ide-info/claude-code.md)
-   - [Cursor](./ide-info/cursor.md)
-   - [VS Code/Windsurf](./ide-info/) - Check your IDE folder
-
-2. **Wait for the agent's menu** to appear
-
-3. **Tell the agent**: `*workflow-init` - v6 supports excellent natural language fuzzy matching, so you could also say "workflow init" or "please init the workflow"
-
-Since you are migrating an existing project from v4, it's most likely **Level 3 or 4** you will want to suggest when asked - if you've already completed PRD/architecture in v4.
-
----
-
-## Post-Migration Checklist
-
-- [ ] v4 folders backed up to `v4-backup/`
-- [ ] v6 installed to `{bmad_folder}/` folder

-# Using BMad Web Bundles in Gemini Gems & Custom GPTs
-
-Web bundles package BMad agents as self-contained XML files that work in Gemini Gems and Custom GPTs. Everything the agent needs - instructions, workflows, dependencies - is bundled into a single file.
-
-## What Are Web Bundles?
-
-Web bundles are standalone XML files containing:
-
-- Complete agent persona and instructions
-- All workflows and dependencies
-- Interactive menu system
-- Party mode for multi-agent collaboration
-- No external files required
-
-**Perfect for:** Uploading a single file to a Gemini GEM or Custom GPT to use BMad Method from the Web, generally at a huge cost savings, at the expense of some quality and convenience of using locally.
-
-## Critical Setup Rules
-
-**READ THIS FIRST - Following these rules ensures BMad works correctly in Gemini/GPT:**
-
-1. **ONE file per Gem/GPT** - Upload exactly ONE XML file per Gemini Gem or Custom GPT instance. Do NOT combine multiple agent files.
-
-2. **Use the setup instructions** - When creating your Gem/GPT, you MUST add the configuration prompt (shown in Quick Start below) so it knows how to read the XML file.
-
-3. **Enable Canvas/Code Execution** - This is ESSENTIAL for document generation workflows (PRD, Architecture, etc.). Enable this in your Gem/GPT settings.
-
-4. **Gemini Gems are strongly preferred** - They work significantly better than Custom GPTs for BMad workflows.
-
-5. **Team bundles = Gemini 2.5 Pro+ only** - Team bundles (multiple agents) have terrible performance in Custom GPTs due to context limits. Only use them with Gemini 2.5 Pro or higher.
-
-6. **Create separate Gems for each agent** - Make a PM Gem, an Architect Gem, a Developer Gem, etc. Don't try to combine them (except via official team bundles).
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### 1. Get Web Bundle Files
-
-**Option A: Download Pre-Bundled Files (Quickest)**
-
-Download ready-to-use bundles that are automatically updated whenever commits are merged to main:
-
-**[→ Download Web Bundles](https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-bundles/)**
-
-Navigate to the module folder (bmm, bmb, cis, bmgd) → agents folder → download the `.xml` file you need. These bundles are automatically regenerated and deployed with every commit to the main branch, ensuring you always have the latest version.
-
-**Option B: Generate from Local Installation**
-
-From your BMad project directory:
-
-```bash
-# Generate all agent bundles
-npm run bundle
-
-# Or generate specific bundles
-node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js module bmm
-node tools/cli/bundlers/bundle-web.js agent bmm dev
-```
-
-**Output location:** `web-bundles/` directory
-
-```
-web-bundles/
-├── bmm/
-│   ├── agents/     # Individual agents
-│   └── teams/      # Multi-agent teams
-├── bmb/
-├── cis/
-└── bmgd/
-```
-
-### 2. Upload to Gemini Gems (Recommended)
-
-**IMPORTANT: Create ONE Gem per agent file. Do NOT upload multiple agent files to a single Gem.**
-
-**Create a Gem:**
-
-1. Go to [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/)
-2. Click "New Gem" or "Create Gem"
-3. Give your Gem a name (e.g., "BMad PM Agent")
-4. **Enable "Code execution" for best results with document generation**
-5. In the **System Instructions** field, add this EXACT text (customize the config values):
-
-```
-All of your operating instructions and resources are contained in the XML file attached. Read in the initial agent block and instructions to understand it. You will not deviate from the character and rules outlined in the attached!
-
-CONFIG.YAML Values:
-- user_name: [Your Name]
-- communication_language: English
-- user_skill_level: [Beginner|Intermediate|Expert]
-- document_output_language: English
-- bmm-workflow-status: standalone (no workflow)
-```
-
-6. **Upload ONE XML file** (e.g., `pm.xml`) - either attach as a file or paste contents
-7. Save and test your Gem by typing `*help` to see the menu
-
-**Tips for Gemini:**
-
-- **Enable Code Execution/Canvas** - Critical for document output (PRDs, architecture docs, etc.)
-- **Use Gemini 2.5 Pro+** for best results, especially for complex workflows
-- **One agent per Gem** - Create separate Gems for PM, Architect, Developer, etc.
-- Test the agent by triggering menu items with `*workflow-name`
-
-### 3. Upload to Custom GPTs
-
-**IMPORTANT: Create ONE Custom GPT per agent file. Do NOT upload multiple agent files to a single GPT.**
-
-**Create a Custom GPT:**
-
-1. Go to [ChatGPT](https://chat.openai.com/)
-2. Click your profile → "My GPTs" → "Create a GPT"
-3. Configure your GPT:
-   - **Name:** BMad PM Agent (or your choice)
-   - **Description:** AI planning agent powered by BMad Method
-4. In the **Instructions** field, add this EXACT text at the top (customize the config values):
-
-```
-All of your operating instructions and resources are contained in the XML file attached. Read in the initial agent block and instructions to understand it. You will not deviate from the character and rules outlined in the attached!
-
-CONFIG.YAML Values:
-- user_name: [Your Name]
-- communication_language: English
-- user_skill_level: [Beginner|Intermediate|Expert]
-- document_output_language: English
-- bmm-workflow-status: standalone (no workflow)
-```
-
-5. **Below that text**, paste the entire contents of ONE XML file (e.g., `pm.xml`)
-6. **Enable "Canvas" in ChatGPT settings** for better document output
-7. Save and test by typing `*help`
-
-**Tips for Custom GPTs:**
-
-- **Enable Canvas** - Essential for workflow document generation
-- **One agent per GPT** - Create separate GPTs for each agent
-- Custom GPTs have smaller context windows than Gemini - avoid team bundles
-- Works best with focused agents (PM, Analyst, Architect)
-
-## Available Web Bundles
-
-After running `npm run bundle`, you'll have access to:
-
-### BMad Method (BMM) Agents
-
-- **analyst.xml** - Business analysis and requirements gathering
-- **architect.xml** - System architecture and technical design
-- **dev.xml** - Full-stack development and implementation
-- **pm.xml** - Product management and planning
-- **sm.xml** - Scrum master and agile facilitation
-- **tea.xml** - Test architecture and quality assurance
-- **tech-writer.xml** - Technical documentation
-- **ux-designer.xml** - User experience design
-- **game-designer.xml** - Game design and mechanics
-- **game-dev.xml** - Game development

-- **design-thinking-coach.xml** - Human-centered problem solving
-- **innovation-strategist.xml** - Innovation and strategy
-- **creative-problem-solver.xml** - Breakthrough problem solving
-- **storyteller.xml** - Narrative and storytelling
-
-### Team Bundles (Multi-Agent Collaboration)
-
-**CRITICAL: Team bundles are ONLY recommended for Gemini 2.5 Pro+ in the web. The experience is poor with Custom GPTs due to limited context windows.**
-
-- **bmm/teams/team-fullstack.xml** - Full BMad Method development team
-- **bmgd/teams/team-gamedev.xml** - Game development team
-- **cis/teams/creative-squad.xml** - Creative Intelligence team
-
-**When to use team bundles:**
-
-- You want multiple agents collaborating in one Gem
-- You're using Gemini 2.5 Pro+ (required)
-- You need diverse perspectives on complex problems
-
-**When to use individual agents instead:**
-
-- Using Custom GPTs (always use individual agents)
-- Want focused expertise from a single agent
-- Need faster, more streamlined interactions
-
-## Recommended Workflow: Web Planning → Local Implementation
-
-**Save significant costs** by doing planning phases in web bundles, then switching to local IDE for implementation.
-
-### Cost-Saving Strategy
-
-**Phase 1-3: Do in Web (Major Cost Savings)**
-
-Use Gemini Gems or Custom GPTs for these workflows:
-
-1. **Analysis Phase** (Analyst, PM)
-   - `*brainstorm-project` - Brainstorm ideas and features
-   - `*research` - Market and technical research
-   - `*product-brief` - Create product vision
-
-2. **Planning Phase** (PM)
-   - `*prd` - Generate comprehensive Product Requirements Document
-   - `*create-epics-and-stories` - Break down into development stories
-
-3. **Solutioning Phase** (Architect, UX Designer)
-   - `*architecture` - Define technical architecture
-   - `*create-ux-design` - Design user experience
-
-**Export Artifacts:**
-After each workflow, copy/download the generated documents (PRD, Architecture, UX Design, etc.)
-
-**Phase 4: Switch to Local IDE (Required for Implementation)**
-
-1. Save exported artifacts to your project's `docs/` folder
-2. Run local BMad installation with `*workflow-init`
-3. BMad will detect the existing artifacts and update workflow status
-4. Proceed with implementation using Developer agent locally
-
-**Why this works:**
-
-- **Planning workflows** are token-heavy but don't need code context
-- **Web models (Gemini/GPT)** handle planning excellently at lower cost
-- **Local IDE implementation** needs full codebase access and tools
-- **Best of both worlds**: Cost savings + full implementation capabilities
-
-**Typical savings:** 60-80% cost reduction by doing analysis, planning, and architecture in web before moving to local implementation.
-
-## Using Web Bundles
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-**1. Load the Agent**
-
-Upload or paste the XML file into Gemini/GPT. The agent will introduce itself and show its menu.
-
-**2. Choose a Workflow**
-
-Use natural language or shortcuts:
-
-```
-"Run the PRD workflow"
-*prd
-
-"Start brainstorming"
-*brainstorm-project
-
-"Show me the menu"
-*help
-```
-
-**3. Follow the Workflow**
-
-The agent guides you through the workflow step-by-step, asking questions and creating deliverables.
-
-### Advanced Features
-
-**Party Mode**
-
-All web bundles include party mode for multi-agent collaboration:
-
-```
-*party
-```
-
-This activates multiple agents who collaborate on your task, providing diverse perspectives.
-
-**Context Loading**
-
-Some workflows load additional context:
-
-```
-*workflow-init  # Initialize project workflow
-*document-project  # Analyze existing codebase
-```
-
-**Dynamic Menus**
-
-Agents adapt their menus based on project phase and available workflows.
-
-## Platform Differences

-
-**Pros:**
-
-- Better XML parsing and handling
-- Handles large bundles well
-- Supports complex workflows
-- Larger context window (better for team bundles)
-- Code execution for document generation
-- Works excellently with BMad workflows
-
-**Cons:**
-
-- Requires Google account

-
-**Best for:**
-
-- All individual agents (PM, Architect, Developer, UX Designer, etc.)
-- Team bundles (requires Gemini 2.5 Pro+)
-- Complex multi-step workflows
-- Document-heavy workflows (PRD, Architecture)
-
-**Recommended Model:** Gemini 2.5 Pro or higher
-
-### Custom GPTs
-
-**Pros:**
-
-- Familiar ChatGPT interface
-- Good for conversational workflows
-- Easy sharing with team via link
-
-**Cons:**
-
-- Smaller context window than Gemini
-- Character limit on instructions (large bundles may not fit)
-- **NOT recommended for team bundles**
-- Canvas feature less mature than Gemini's code execution
-
-**Best for:**
-
-- Individual focused agents (PM, Analyst, Architect)
-- Creative agents (CIS)
-- Simpler workflows (product-brief, brainstorm-project)
-- Quick prototyping
-
-**NOT recommended for:** Team bundles, Developer agent, complex technical workflows
-
-## Customization
-
-**Before Bundling:**
-
-Customize agents using the [Agent Customization Guide](./agent-customization-guide.md):
-
-1. Edit `{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agents/<agent>.customize.yaml`
-2. Rebuild: `npx bmad-method build <agent-name>`
-3. Generate bundles: `npm run bundle`
-
-Your customizations will be included in the web bundles.
-
-**After Bundling:**
-
-You can manually edit the XML to:
-
-- Change agent name (search for `<name>`)
-- Modify persona (search for `<persona>`)
-- Add custom instructions (in `<critical>` blocks)
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Agent not responding correctly?**
-
-- Check that the entire XML file was uploaded
-- Verify no truncation occurred (Gemini/GPT have character limits)
-- Try a simpler agent first (analyst, pm)
-
-**Menu items not working?**
-
-- Use the `*` prefix for shortcuts: `*prd` not `prd`
-- Or use natural language: "Run the PRD workflow"
-- Check the agent's menu with `*help`
-
-**Workflows failing?**
-
-- Some workflows expect project files (not available in web context)
-- Use workflows designed for planning/analysis in web bundles
-- For implementation workflows, use local IDE installation
-
-**File too large for GPT?**
-
-- Split into sections and use multiple GPTs
-- Use Gemini Gems instead (better for large files)
-- Generate single-agent bundles instead of team bundles
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **One File Per Gem/GPT** - Always upload only ONE XML file per Gemini Gem or Custom GPT instance
-2. **Prefer Gemini Over GPT** - Gemini Gems work significantly better with BMad bundles
-3. **Enable Canvas/Code Execution** - Essential for document generation workflows (PRD, Architecture, etc.)
-4. **Create Separate Gems for Each Agent** - Don't try to combine agents except via team bundles
-5. **Team Bundles = Gemini 2.5 Pro+ Only** - Never use team bundles with Custom GPTs
-6. **Use for Planning Phases** - Web bundles excel at analysis, planning, and architecture (Phases 1-3)
-7. **Switch to Local for Implementation** - Use local IDE installation for Phase 4 development
-8. **Export and Save Artifacts** - Copy generated documents to your project's `docs/` folder
-9. **Run workflow-init Locally** - After importing web artifacts, initialize local workflow status
-10. **Keep Updated** - Rebuild bundles after BMad updates to get latest improvements
-
-## Examples
-

-- **Plan reviewed by:** User
-- **Date:** 2025-12-04
-- **Status:** Approved without modifications
-- **Ready for design phase:** Yes
-- **Output Documents:** CSV history file (BMad-quiz-results.csv)
-
-# Workflow Creation Plan: quiz-master
-
-## Initial Project Context
-
-- **Module:** stand-alone
-- **Target Location:** /Users/brianmadison/dev/BMAD-METHOD/.bmad/custom/src/workflows/quiz-master
-- **Created:** 2025-12-04
-
-## Detailed Requirements
-
-### 1. Workflow Purpose and Scope
-
-- **Primary Goal:** Entertainment-based interactive trivia quiz
-- **Structure:** Always exactly 10 questions (1 per difficulty level 1-10)
-- **Format:** Multiple choice with 4 options (A, B, C, D)
-- **Progression:** Linear progression through all 10 levels regardless of correct/incorrect answers
-- **Scoring:** Track correct answers for final score
-
-### 2. Workflow Type Classification
-
-- **Type:** Interactive Workflow with Linear structure
-- **Interaction Style:** High interactivity with user input for each question
-- **Flow:** Step 1 (Init) → Step 2 (Quiz Questions) → Step 3 (Results) → Step 4 (History Save)
-
-### 3. Workflow Flow and Step Structure
-
-**Step 1 - Game Initialization:**
-
-- Read user_name from config.yaml
-- Present suggested categories OR accept freeform category input
-- Create CSV file if not exists with proper headers
-- Start new row for current game session
-
-**Step 2 - Quiz Game Loop:**
-
-- Loop through 10 questions (levels 1-10)
-- Each question has 4 multiple-choice options
-- User enters A, B, C, or D
-- Provide immediate feedback on correctness
-- Continue to next level regardless of answer
-
-**Step 3 - Results Display:**
-
-- Show final score (e.g., "You got 7 out of 10!")
-- Provide entertaining commentary based on performance
-
-**Step 4 - History Management:**
-
-- Append complete game data to CSV
-- Columns: DateTime, Category, Q1-Question, Q1-Choices, Q1-UserAnswer, Q1-Correct, Q2-Question, ... Q10-Correct, FinalScore
-
-### 4. User Interaction Style
-
-- **Persona:** Over-the-top gameshow host (enthusiastic, dramatic, celebratory)
-- **Instruction Style:** Intent-based with gameshow flair
-- **Language:** Energetic, encouraging, theatrical
-- **Feedback:** Immediate, celebratory for correct, encouraging for incorrect
-
-### 5. Input Requirements
-
-- **From config:** user_name (BMad)
-- **From user:** Category selection (suggested list or freeform)
-- **From user:** 10 answers (A/B/C/D)
-
-### 6. Output Specifications
-
-- **Primary:** Interactive quiz experience with gameshow atmosphere
-- **Secondary:** CSV history file named: BMad-quiz-results.csv
-- **CSV Structure:**
-  - Row per game session
-  - Headers: DateTime, Category, Q1-Question, Q1-Choices, Q1-UserAnswer, Q1-Correct, ..., Q10-Correct, FinalScore
-
-### 7. Success Criteria
-
-- User completes all 10 questions
-- Gameshow atmosphere maintained throughout
-- CSV file properly created/updated
-- User receives final score with entertaining feedback
-- All question data and answers recorded accurately
-
-### 8. Special Considerations
-
-- Always assume fresh chat/new game
-- CSV file creation in Step 1 if missing
-- Freeform categories allowed (any topic)
-- No need to display previous history during game
-- Focus on entertainment over assessment
-- After user enters A/B/C/D, automatically continue to next question (no "Continue" prompts)
-- Streamlined experience without advanced elicitation or party mode tools
-
-## Tools Configuration
-
-### Core BMAD Tools
-
-- **Party-Mode**: Excluded - Want streamlined quiz flow without interruptions
-- **Advanced Elicitation**: Excluded - Quiz format is straightforward without need for complex analysis
-- **Brainstorming**: Excluded - Categories can be suggested directly or entered freeform
-
-### LLM Features
-
-- **Web-Browsing**: Excluded - Quiz questions can be generated from existing knowledge
-- **File I/O**: Included - Essential for CSV history file management (reading/writing quiz results)
-- **Sub-Agents**: Excluded - Single gameshow host persona is sufficient
-- **Sub-Processes**: Excluded - Linear quiz flow doesn't require parallel processing
-
-### Memory Systems
-
-- **Sidecar File**: Excluded - Each quiz session is independent (always assume fresh chat)
-
-### External Integrations
-
-- None required for this workflow
-
-### Installation Requirements

-
-## Workflow Design
-
-### Step Structure
-
-**Total Steps: 12**
-
-1. Step 01 - Init: Mode selection, category choice, CSV setup
-2. Steps 02-11: Individual questions (1-10) with CSV updates
-3. Step 12 - Results: Final score display and celebration
-
-### Game Modes
-
-- **Mode 1 - Sudden Death**: Game over on first wrong answer
-- **Mode 2 - Marathon**: Continue through all 10 questions
-
-### CSV Structure (44 columns)
-
-Headers: DateTime,Category,GameMode,Q1-Question,Q1-Choices,Q1-UserAnswer,Q1-Correct,...,Q10-Correct,FinalScore
-
-### Flow Logic
-
-- Step 01: Create row with DateTime, Category, GameMode
-- Steps 02-11: Update CSV with question data
-  - Mode 1: IF incorrect → jump to Step 12
-  - Mode 2: Always continue
-- Step 12: Update FinalScore, display results
-
-### Gameshow Persona
-
-- Energetic, dramatic host

-# CBT Coach - Cognitive Distortions Reference
-
-## The 10 Cognitive Distortions
-
-1. **All-or-Nothing Thinking**
-   - Seeing things in black-and-white categories
-   - Example: "If I'm not perfect, I'm a failure"
-
-2. **Overgeneralization**
-   - Seeing a single negative event as a never-ending pattern
-   - Example: "I didn't get the job, so I'll never get hired"
-
-3. **Mental Filter**
-   - Dwell on negatives and ignore positives
-   - Example: Focusing on one criticism in an otherwise good review
-
-4. **Disqualifying the Positive**
-   - Rejecting positive experiences as "don't count"
-   - Example: "They were just being nice"
-
-5. **Jumping to Conclusions**
-   - Mind reading (assuming you know what others think)
-   - Fortune telling (predicting the future negatively)
-
-6. **Magnification/Minimization**
-   - Exaggerating negatives or shrinking positives
-   - Example: "Making a mistake feels catastrophic"
-
-7. **Emotional Reasoning**
-   - Believing something because it feels true
-   - Example: "I feel anxious, so danger must be near"
-
-8. **"Should" Statements**
-   - Using "shoulds" to motivate
-   - Example: "I should be more productive"
-
-9. **Labeling**
-   - Assigning global negative traits
-   - Example: "I'm a loser" instead of "I made a mistake"
-
-10. **Personalization**
-    - Taking responsibility/blame for things outside your control
-    - Example: "It's my fault the party wasn't fun"

-        Let's work through a thought record together. This powerful tool helps us examine our thinking patterns.
-
-        **Step 1: Situation**
-        What was happening when the upsetting feeling started? Be specific - time, place, who was there?
-
-        **Step 2: Automatic Thoughts**
-        What thoughts went through your mind? List them exactly as they occurred.
-
-        **Step 3: Emotions**
-        What emotions did you feel? Rate each from 0-100 in intensity.
-
-        **Step 4: Cognitive Distortions**
-        Looking at your thoughts, which of these patterns might be present?
-        - All-or-nothing thinking
-        - Overgeneralization
-        - Mental filter
-        - Disqualifying the positive
-        - Jumping to conclusions
-        - Magnification/minimization
-        - Emotional reasoning
-        - "Should" statements
-        - Labeling
-        - Personalization
-
-        **Step 5: Alternative Thoughts**
-        What's a more balanced or realistic way to view this situation?
-
-        **Step 6: Outcome**
-        How do you feel now? Rate emotions again.

-
-        Let's examine this thought pattern together.
-
-        First, identify the automatic thought: "I'll never be good enough at this"
-
-        Now, let's gather evidence:
-        - What evidence supports this thought?
-        - What evidence contradicts this thought?
-        - What would you tell a friend with this thought?
-        - What's a more balanced perspective?
-
-        Remember: We're looking for accuracy, not just positive thinking. Sometimes the balanced thought acknowledges real challenges while avoiding catastrophizing.
-
-        What feels most realistic and helpful to you now?

-
-        **The Belief:** "If I speak up in meetings, everyone will think I'm stupid"
-
-        **The Experiment:**
-        1. What's a small step to test this? (e.g., share one brief comment)
-        2. What do you predict will happen? (be specific)
-        3. How can you collect real data? (observe reactions, ask for feedback)
-        4. What would disprove your belief?
-        5. What would partially support it?
-
-        Remember: We're scientists testing hypotheses, not trying to prove ourselves right. What would be most informative to learn?
