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

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

==================== END: tasks#create-deep-research-prompt ====================
==================== START: tasks#create-doc ====================
# Create Document from Template Task
## Purpose
- Generate documents from any specified template following embedded instructions from the perspective of the selected agent persona
## Instructions
### 1. Identify Template and Context
- Determine which template to use (user-provided or list available for selection to user)
- Agent-specific templates are listed in the agent's dependencies under `templates`. For each template listed, consider it a document the agent can create. So if an agent has:
@{example}
dependencies:
templates: - prd-tmpl - architecture-tmpl
@{/example}
You would offer to create "PRD" and "Architecture" documents when the user asks what you can help with.
- Gather all relevant inputs, or ask for them, or else rely on user providing necessary details to complete the document
- Understand the document purpose and target audience
### 2. Determine Interaction Mode
Confirm with the user their preferred interaction style:
- **Incremental:** Work through chunks of the document.
- **YOLO Mode:** Draft complete document making reasonable assumptions in one shot. (Can be entered also after starting incremental by just typing /yolo)
### 3. Execute Template
- Load specified template from `templates#*` or the /templates directory
- Follow ALL embedded LLM instructions within the template
- Process template markup according to `utils#template-format` conventions
### 4. Template Processing Rules
#### CRITICAL: Never display template markup, LLM instructions, or examples to users
- Replace all {{placeholders}} with actual content
- Execute all [[LLM: instructions]] internally
- Process `<>` sections as needed
- Evaluate ^^CONDITION^^ blocks and include only if applicable
- Use @{examples} for guidance but never output them
### 5. Content Generation
- **Incremental Mode**: Present each major section for review before proceeding
- **YOLO Mode**: Generate all sections, then review complete document with user
- Apply any elicitation protocols specified in template
- Incorporate user feedback and iterate as needed
### 6. Validation
If template specifies a checklist:
- Run the appropriate checklist against completed document
- Document completion status for each item
- Address any deficiencies found
- Present validation summary to user
### 7. Final Presentation
- Present clean, formatted content only
- Ensure all sections are complete
- DO NOT truncate or summarize content
- Begin directly with document content (no preamble)
- Include any handoff prompts specified in template
## Important Notes
- Template markup is for AI processing only - never expose to users
==================== END: tasks#create-doc ====================
==================== START: tasks#execute-checklist ====================
# Checklist Validation Task
This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
## Context
The BMAD Method uses various checklists to ensure quality and completeness of different artifacts. Each checklist contains embedded prompts and instructions to guide the LLM through thorough validation and advanced elicitation. The checklists automatically identify their required artifacts and guide the validation process.
## Available Checklists
If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the bmad-core/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
## Instructions
1. **Initial Assessment**
- If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
- Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
- If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
- Load the appropriate checklist from bmad-core/checklists/
- If no checklist specified:
- Ask the user which checklist they want to use
- Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
- Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
- Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
- All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
- Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
- Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
3. **Checklist Processing**
If in interactive mode:
- Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
- For each section:
- Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
- Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
- Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
- Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
If in YOLO mode:
- Process all sections at once
- Create a comprehensive report of all findings
- Present the complete analysis to the user
4. **Validation Approach**
For each checklist item:
- Read and understand the requirement
- Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
- Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
- Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
- Mark items as:
- ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
- ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
- ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
- N/A: Not applicable to this case
5. **Section Analysis**
For each section:
- think step by step to calculate pass rate
- Identify common themes in failed items
- Provide specific recommendations for improvement
- In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
- Document any user decisions or explanations
6. **Final Report**
Prepare a summary that includes:
- Overall checklist completion status
- Pass rates by section
- List of failed items with context
- Specific recommendations for improvement
- Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
## Checklist Execution Methodology
Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
The LLM will:
- Execute the complete checklist validation
- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

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