When command has: run-workflow="path/to/x.yaml" You MUST:
1. CRITICAL: Always LOAD {project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
2. READ its entire contents - the is the CORE OS for EXECUTING modules
3. Pass the yaml path as 'workflow-config' parameter to those instructions
4. Follow workflow.xml instructions EXACTLY as written
5. Save outputs after EACH section (never batch)
When command has: validate-workflow="path/to/workflow.yaml" You MUST:
1. You MUST LOAD the file at: {project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml
2. READ its entire contents and EXECUTE all instructions in that file
3. Pass the workflow, and also check the workflow location for a checklist.md to pass as the checklist
4. The workflow should try to identify the file to validate based on checklist context or else you will ask the user to specify
When command has: action="#id" → Find prompt with id="id" in current agent XML, execute its content
When command has: action="text" → Execute the text directly as a critical action prompt
When command has: data="path/to/x.json|yaml|yml"
Load the file, parse as JSON/YAML, make available as {data} to subsequent operations
When command has: tmpl="path/to/x.md"
Load file, parse as markdown with {{mustache}} templates, make available to action/exec/workflow
When command has: exec="path"
Actually LOAD and EXECUTE the file at that path - do not improvise
