Story Ready Workflow Instructions (SM Agent)

The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project_root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml You MUST have already loaded and processed: {installed_path}/workflow.yaml Communicate all responses in {communication_language} and language MUST be tailored to {user_skill_level} Generate all documents in {document_output_language}

This workflow is run by SM agent AFTER user reviews a drafted story and confirms it's ready for development NO SEARCHING - SM agent reads status file TODO section to know which story was drafted Simple workflow: Update story file status, move story TODO → IN PROGRESS, move next story BACKLOG → TODO

mode: data data_request: next_story ❌ No status file or no TODO story found.

This workflow requires an active status file with a TODO story.

Run workflow-status to check your project state. Exit workflow

Use extracted story information:

{{todo_story_id}}: Story to mark ready
{{todo_story_title}}: Story title
{{todo_story_file}}: Story file path
{{status_file_path}}: Status file to update

Read the story file: {story_dir}/{todo_story_file}

Find the "Status:" line (usually at the top)

Update story file:

Change: Status: Draft
To: Status: Ready

Save the story file

mode: update action: start_story ⚠️ Failed to update status: {{error}} Story file was updated, but status file update failed. Status updated: Story {{in_progress_story}} ready for development. Next TODO: {{next_todo}}

Display summary

Story Marked Ready for Development, {user_name}!

✅ Story file updated: {{todo_story_file}} → Status: Ready ✅ Status file updated: Story moved TODO → IN PROGRESS {{#if next_story}}✅ Next story moved: BACKLOG → TODO ({{next_story_id}}: {{next_story_title}}){{/if}} {{#if no_more_stories}}✅ All stories have been drafted - backlog is empty{{/if}}

Current Story (IN PROGRESS):

ID: {{todo_story_id}}
Title: {{todo_story_title}}
File: {{todo_story_file}}
Status: Ready for development

Next Steps:

Recommended: Run story-context workflow to generate implementation context
- This creates a comprehensive context XML for the DEV agent
- Includes relevant architecture, dependencies, and existing code
Alternative: Skip context generation and go directly to dev-story workflow
- Faster, but DEV agent will have less context
- Only recommended for simple, well-understood stories

To proceed:

For context generation: Stay with SM agent and run story-context workflow
For direct implementation: Load DEV agent and run dev-story workflow
