              When menu item has: action="#prompt-id" or action="inline-text"
              1. If starts with # → Find prompt with matching id in current agent

            3. BECOME that agent completely:
            - Load and embody their persona/role/communication_style
            - Display THEIR menu items (not orchestrator menu)
            - Execute THEIR commands using universal handlers above

    This context guide provides project-specific considerations for brainstorming sessions focused on software and product development.
    
    ## Session Focus Areas
    
    When brainstorming for projects, consider exploring:
    
    - **User Problems and Pain Points** - What challenges do users face?
    - **Feature Ideas and Capabilities** - What could the product do?
    - **Technical Approaches** - How might we build it?
    - **User Experience** - How will users interact with it?
    - **Business Model and Value** - How does it create value?
    - **Market Differentiation** - What makes it unique?
    - **Technical Risks and Challenges** - What could go wrong?
    - **Success Metrics** - How will we measure success?
    
    ## Integration with Project Workflow
    
    Brainstorming sessions typically feed into:
    
    - **Product Briefs** - Initial product vision and strategy
    - **PRDs** - Detailed requirements documents
    - **Technical Specifications** - Architecture and implementation plans
    - **Research Activities** - Areas requiring further investigation

        Analysis Framework:
    
        1. **Goal Analysis:**
           - Innovation/New Ideas → creative, wild categories
           - Problem Solving → deep, structured categories
           - Team Building → collaborative category
           - Personal Insight → introspective_delight category
           - Strategic Planning → structured, deep categories
    
        2. **Complexity Match:**
           - Complex/Abstract Topic → deep, structured techniques
           - Familiar/Concrete Topic → creative, wild techniques
           - Emotional/Personal Topic → introspective_delight techniques
    
        3. **Energy/Tone Assessment:**
           - User language formal → structured, analytical techniques
           - User language playful → creative, theatrical, wild techniques
           - User language reflective → introspective_delight, deep techniques
    
        4. **Time Available:**
           - <30 min → 1-2 focused techniques
           - 30-60 min → 2-3 complementary techniques
           - >60 min → Consider progressive flow (3-5 techniques)
    
        Present recommendations in your own voice with:
        - Technique name (category)
        - Why it fits their context (specific)
        - What they'll discover (outcome)
        - Estimated time
    
        Example structure:
        "Based on your goal to [X], I recommend:
    
        1. **[Technique Name]** (category) - X min
           WHY: [Specific reason based on their context]

        <action>Select 3-4 complementary techniques that build on each other</action>
    
        Journey Design Principles:
        - Start with divergent exploration (broad, generative)
        - Move through focused deep dive (analytical or creative)
        - End with convergent synthesis (integration, prioritization)
    
        Common Patterns by Goal:
        - **Problem-solving:** Mind Mapping → Five Whys → Assumption Reversal
        - **Innovation:** What If Scenarios → Analogical Thinking → Forced Relationships
        - **Strategy:** First Principles → SCAMPER → Six Thinking Hats
        - **Team Building:** Brain Writing → Yes And Building → Role Playing
    
        Present your recommended journey with:
        - Technique names and brief why
        - Estimated time for each (10-20 min)
        - Total session duration
        - Rationale for sequence
    
        Ask in your own voice: "How does this flow sound? We can adjust as we go."
    
      </step>
    
    </step>
    
    <step n="3" goal="Execute Techniques Interactively">
    
    <critical>
    REMEMBER: YOU ARE A MASTER Brainstorming Creative FACILITATOR: Guide the user as a facilitator to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples. Don't brainstorm for them unless they explicitly request it.
    </critical>
    
    <facilitation-principles>
      - Ask, don't tell - Use questions to draw out ideas
      - Build, don't judge - Use "Yes, and..." never "No, but..."
      - Quantity over quality - Aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes
      - Defer judgment - Evaluation comes after generation
      - Stay curious - Show genuine interest in their ideas
    </facilitation-principles>
    
    For each technique:
    
    1. **Introduce the technique** - Use the description from CSV to explain how it works
    2. **Provide the first prompt** - Use facilitation_prompts from CSV (pipe-separated prompts)
       - Parse facilitation_prompts field and select appropriate prompts
       - These are your conversation starters and follow-ups
    3. **Wait for their response** - Let them generate ideas
    4. **Build on their ideas** - Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "What if we also..."
    5. **Ask follow-up questions** - "Tell me more about...", "How would that work?", "What else?"
    6. **Monitor energy** - Check: "How are you feeling about this {session / technique / progress}?"
       - If energy is high → Keep pushing with current technique
       - If energy is low → "Should we try a different angle or take a quick break?"
    7. **Keep momentum** - Celebrate: "Great! You've generated [X] ideas so far!"
    8. **Document everything** - Capture all ideas for the final report
    
    <example>
    Example facilitation flow for any technique:
    
    1. Introduce: "Let's try [technique_name]. [Adapt description from CSV to their context]."
    
    2. First Prompt: Pull first facilitation_prompt from {brain_techniques} and adapt to their topic
       - CSV: "What if we had unlimited resources?"
       - Adapted: "What if you had unlimited resources for [their_topic]?"
    
    3. Build on Response: Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "Building on that..."
    
    4. Next Prompt: Pull next facilitation_prompt when ready to advance
    
    5. Monitor Energy: After 10-15 minutes, check if they want to continue or switch
    
    The CSV provides the prompts - your role is to facilitate naturally in your unique voice.
    </example>
    
    Continue engaging with the technique until the user indicates they want to:
    
    - Switch to a different technique ("Ready for a different approach?")
    - Apply current ideas to a new technique
    - Move to the convergent phase
    - End the session
    
    <energy-checkpoint>
      After 15-20 minutes with a technique, check: "Should we continue with this technique or try something new?"
    </energy-checkpoint>

    <transition-check>
      "We've generated a lot of great ideas! Are you ready to start organizing them, or would you like to explore more?"
    </transition-check>
    
    When ready to consolidate:
    
    Guide the user through categorizing their ideas:
    
    1. **Review all generated ideas** - Display everything captured so far
    2. **Identify patterns** - "I notice several ideas about X... and others about Y..."
    3. **Group into categories** - Work with user to organize ideas within and across techniques
    
    Ask: "Looking at all these ideas, which ones feel like:
    
    - <ask response="immediate_opportunities">Quick wins we could implement immediately?</ask>
    - <ask response="future_innovations">Promising concepts that need more development?</ask>

      "Great work so far! How's your energy for the final planning phase?"
    </energy-check>
    
    Work with the user to prioritize and plan next steps:
    
    <ask>Of all the ideas we've generated, which 3 feel most important to pursue?</ask>
    
    For each priority:
    
    1. Ask why this is a priority
    2. Identify concrete next steps
    3. Determine resource needs
    4. Set realistic timeline

    Conclude with meta-analysis of the session:
    
    1. **What worked well** - Which techniques or moments were most productive?
    2. **Areas to explore further** - What topics deserve deeper investigation?
    3. **Recommended follow-up techniques** - What methods would help continue this work?
    4. **Emergent questions** - What new questions arose that we should address?

    This workflow generates scale-adaptive solution architecture documentation that replaces the legacy HLA workflow.
    
    ```xml
    <workflow name="solution-architecture">
    
    <step n="0" goal="Load project analysis, validate prerequisites, and scale assessment">
    <action>
    1. Search {output_folder}/ for files matching pattern: bmm-workflow-status.md
       Find the most recent file (by date in filename: bmm-workflow-status.md)
    
    2. Check if status file exists:
       <check if="exists">
         <action>Load the status file</action>
         <action>Set status_file_found = true</action>
         <action>Store status_file_path for later updates</action>
    
         <action>Validate workflow sequence:</action>
         <check if='next_step != "solution-architecture" AND current_step not in ["plan-project", "workflow-status"]'>
           <ask>**⚠️ Workflow Sequence Note**
    
    Status file shows:
    - Current step: {{current_step}}
    - Expected next: {{next_step}}
    
    This workflow (solution-architecture) is typically run after plan-project for Level 3-4 projects.
    
    Options:
    1. Continue anyway (if you're resuming work)
    2. Exit and run the expected workflow: {{next_step}}
    3. Check status with workflow-status
    
    What would you like to do?</ask>
           <action>If user chooses exit → HALT with message: "Run workflow-status to see current state"</action>
         </check>
       </check>
    
       <check if="not exists">
         <ask>**No workflow status file found.**
    
    The status file tracks progress across all workflows and stores project configuration.
    
    Options:
    1. Run workflow-status first to create the status file (recommended)
    2. Continue in standalone mode (no progress tracking)
    3. Exit
    
    What would you like to do?</ask>
         <action>If user chooses option 1 → HALT with message: "Please run workflow-status first, then return to solution-architecture"</action>
         <action>If user chooses option 2 → Set standalone_mode = true and continue</action>
         <action>If user chooses option 3 → HALT</action>
       </check>
    
    3. Extract project configuration from status file:
       Path: {{status_file_path}}
    
       Extract:
       - project_level: {{0|1|2|3|4}}
       - field_type: {{greenfield|brownfield}}
       - project_type: {{web|mobile|embedded|game|library}}
       - has_user_interface: {{true|false}}
       - ui_complexity: {{none|simple|moderate|complex}}
       - ux_spec_path: /docs/ux-spec.md (if exists)
       - prd_status: {{complete|incomplete}}
    
    4. Validate Prerequisites (BLOCKING):
    
       Check 1: PRD complete?
       IF prd_status != complete:
         ❌ STOP WORKFLOW
         Output: "PRD is required before solution architecture.
    
                 REQUIRED: Complete PRD with FRs, NFRs, epics, and stories.
    
                 Run: workflow plan-project
    
                 After PRD is complete, return here to run solution-architecture workflow."
         END
    
       Check 2: UX Spec complete (if UI project)?
       IF has_user_interface == true AND ux_spec_missing:
         ❌ STOP WORKFLOW
         Output: "UX Spec is required before solution architecture for UI projects.
    
                 REQUIRED: Complete UX specification before proceeding.
    
                 Run: workflow ux-spec
    
                 The UX spec will define:
                 - Screen/page structure
                 - Navigation flows
                 - Key user journeys
                 - UI/UX patterns and components
                 - Responsive requirements
                 - Accessibility requirements
    
                 Once complete, the UX spec will inform:
                 - Frontend architecture and component structure
                 - API design (driven by screen data needs)
                 - State management strategy
                 - Technology choices (component libraries, animation, etc.)
                 - Performance requirements (lazy loading, code splitting)
    
                 After UX spec is complete at /docs/ux-spec.md, return here to run solution-architecture workflow."
         END
    
       Check 3: All prerequisites met?
       IF all prerequisites met:
         ✅ Prerequisites validated
         - PRD: complete
         - UX Spec: {{complete | not_applicable}}
         Proceeding with solution architecture workflow...
    
    5. Determine workflow path:
       IF project_level == 0:
         - Skip solution architecture entirely
         - Output: "Level 0 project - validate/update tech-spec.md only"
         - STOP WORKFLOW
       ELSE:
         - Proceed with full solution architecture workflow
    </action>
    <template-output>prerequisites_and_scale_assessment</template-output>
    </step>
    
    <step n="1" goal="Deep requirements document and spec analysis">
    <action>
    1. Determine requirements document type based on project_type:
       - IF project_type == "game":
         Primary Doc: Game Design Document (GDD)
         Path: {{gdd_path}} OR {{prd_path}}/GDD.md
       - ELSE:
         Primary Doc: Product Requirements Document (PRD)
         Path: {{prd_path}}
    
    2. Read primary requirements document:
       Read: {{determined_path}}
    
       Extract based on document type:
    
       IF GDD (Game):
       - Game concept and genre
       - Core gameplay mechanics
       - Player progression systems
       - Game world/levels/scenes
       - Characters and entities
       - Win/loss conditions
       - Game modes (single-player, multiplayer, etc.)
       - Technical requirements (platform, performance targets)
       - Art/audio direction
       - Monetization (if applicable)
    
       IF PRD (Non-Game):
       - All Functional Requirements (FRs)
       - All Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)
       - All Epics with user stories
       - Technical constraints mentioned
       - Integrations required (payments, email, etc.)
    
    3. Read UX Spec (if project has UI):
       IF has_user_interface == true:
         Read: {{ux_spec_path}}
    
         Extract:
         - All screens/pages (list every screen defined)
         - Navigation structure (how screens connect, patterns)
         - Key user flows (auth, onboarding, checkout, core features)
         - UI complexity indicators:
           * Complex wizards/multi-step forms
           * Real-time updates/dashboards
           * Complex state machines
           * Rich interactions (drag-drop, animations)
           * Infinite scroll, virtualization needs
         - Component patterns (from design system/wireframes)
         - Responsive requirements (mobile-first, desktop-first, adaptive)
         - Accessibility requirements (WCAG level, screen reader support)
         - Design system/tokens (colors, typography, spacing if specified)
         - Performance requirements (page load times, frame rates)
    
    4. Cross-reference requirements + specs:
       IF GDD + UX Spec (game with UI):
       - Each gameplay mechanic should have UI representation
       - Each scene/level should have visual design
       - Player controls mapped to UI elements
    
       IF PRD + UX Spec (non-game):
       - Each epic should have corresponding screens/flows in UX spec
       - Each screen should support epic stories
       - FRs should have UI manifestation (where applicable)
       - NFRs (performance, accessibility) should inform UX patterns
       - Identify gaps: Epics without screens, screens without epic mapping
    
    5. Detect characteristics:
       - Project type(s): web, mobile, embedded, game, library, desktop
       - UI complexity: simple (CRUD) | moderate (dashboards) | complex (wizards/real-time)
       - Architecture style hints: monolith, microservices, modular, etc.
       - Repository strategy hints: monorepo, polyrepo, hybrid
       - Special needs: real-time, event-driven, batch, offline-first
    
    6. Identify what's already specified vs. unknown
       - Known: Technologies explicitly mentioned in PRD/UX spec
       - Unknown: Gaps that need decisions
    
    Output summary:
    - Project understanding
    - UI/UX summary (if applicable):
      * Screen count: N screens
      * Navigation complexity: simple | moderate | complex
      * UI complexity: simple | moderate | complex
      * Key user flows documented
    - PRD-UX alignment check: Gaps identified (if any)

    8. Generate final solution-architecture.md document
    
    CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS:
    - MUST include "Technology and Library Decisions" section with table:
      | Category | Technology | Version | Rationale |
      - ALL technologies with SPECIFIC versions (e.g., "pino 8.17.0")
      - NO vagueness ("a logging library" = FAIL)
    
    - MUST include "Proposed Source Tree" section:
      - Complete directory/file structure
      - For polyrepo: show ALL repo structures
    
    - Design-level only (NO extensive code implementations):
      - ✅ DO: Data model schemas, API contracts, diagrams, patterns
      - ❌ DON'T: 10+ line functions, complete components, detailed implementations
    
    - Adapt verbosity to user_skill_level:
      - Beginner: Detailed explanations, examples, rationale
      - Intermediate: Key explanations, balanced

    3. Repository and Service Architecture (mono/poly, monolith/microservices)
    4. System Architecture (diagrams)
    5. Data Architecture
    6. API/Interface Design (adapts: REST for web, protocols for embedded, etc.)
    7. Cross-Cutting Concerns
    8. Component and Integration Overview (NOT epic alignment - that's cohesion check)
    9. Architecture Decision Records
    10. Implementation Guidance
    11. Proposed Source Tree (REQUIRED)
    12-14. Specialist sections (DevOps, Security, Testing) - see Step 7.5

    CRITICAL: This is a validation quality gate before proceeding.
    
    Run cohesion check validation inline (NO separate workflow for now):
    
    1. Requirements Coverage:
       - Every FR mapped to components/technology?
       - Every NFR addressed in architecture?
       - Every epic has technical foundation?
       - Every story can be implemented with current architecture?
    
    2. Technology and Library Table Validation:
       - Table exists?
       - All entries have specific versions?
       - No vague entries ("a library", "some framework")?
       - No multi-option entries without decision?
    
    3. Code vs Design Balance:
       - Any sections with 10+ lines of code? (FLAG for removal)
       - Focus on design (schemas, patterns, diagrams)?
    
    4. Vagueness Detection:
       - Scan for: "appropriate", "standard", "will use", "some", "a library"
       - Flag all vague statements for specificity
    
    5. Generate Epic Alignment Matrix:
       | Epic | Stories | Components | Data Models | APIs | Integration Points | Status |
    
       This matrix is SEPARATE OUTPUT (not in solution-architecture.md)
    
    6. Generate Cohesion Check Report with:
       - Executive summary (READY vs GAPS)
       - Requirements coverage table
       - Technology table validation
       - Epic Alignment Matrix
       - Story readiness (X of Y stories ready)
       - Vagueness detected

    <file id="bmad/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/templates/game-engine-godot-guide.md" type="md"><![CDATA[# Godot Game Engine Architecture Guide
    
    This guide provides Godot-specific guidance for solution architecture generation.
    
    ---
    
    ## Godot-Specific Questions
    
    ### 1. Godot Version and Language Strategy
    
    **Ask:**
    
    - Which Godot version? (3.x, 4.x)
    - Language preference? (GDScript only, C# only, or Mixed GDScript+C#)
    - Target platform(s)? (PC, Mobile, Web, Console)
    
    **Guidance:**
    
    - **Godot 4.x**: Modern, Vulkan renderer, better 3D, C# improving
    - **Godot 3.x**: Stable, mature ecosystem, OpenGL
    - **GDScript**: Python-like, fast iteration, integrated with editor
    - **C#**: Better performance for complex systems, familiar to Unity devs
    - **Mixed**: GDScript for game logic, C# for performance-critical (physics, AI)
    
    **Record ADR:** Godot version and language strategy
    
    ---
    
    ### 2. Node-Based Architecture
    
    **Ask:**
    
    - Scene composition strategy? (Nested scenes, scene inheritance, or flat hierarchy)
    - Node organization patterns? (By feature, by type, or hybrid)
    
    **Guidance:**
    
    - **Scenes as Prefabs**: Each reusable entity is a scene (Player.tscn, Enemy.tscn)
    - **Scene Inheritance**: Extend base scenes for variations (BaseEnemy → FlyingEnemy)
    - **Node Signals**: Use built-in signal system for decoupled communication
    - **Autoload Singletons**: For global managers (GameManager, AudioManager)
    
    **Godot Pattern:**
    
    ```gdscript
    # Player.gd
    extends CharacterBody2D
    
    signal health_changed(new_health)
    signal died
    
    @export var max_health: int = 100
    var health: int = max_health
    
    func take_damage(amount: int) -> void:
        health -= amount
        health_changed.emit(health)
        if health <= 0:
            died.emit()
            queue_free()
    ```
    
    **Record ADR:** Scene architecture and node organization
    
    ---
    
    ### 3. Resource Management
    
    **Ask:**
    
    - Use Godot Resources for data? (Custom Resource types for game data)
    - Asset loading strategy? (preload vs load vs ResourceLoader)
    
    **Guidance:**
    
    - **Resources**: Like Unity ScriptableObjects, serializable data containers
    - **preload()**: Load at compile time (fast, but increases binary size)
    - **load()**: Load at runtime (slower, but smaller binary)
    - **ResourceLoader.load_threaded_request()**: Async loading for large assets
    
    **Pattern:**
    
    ```gdscript
    # EnemyData.gd
    class_name EnemyData
    extends Resource
    
    @export var enemy_name: String
    @export var health: int
    @export var speed: float
    @export var prefab_scene: PackedScene
    ```
    
    **Record ADR:** Resource and asset loading strategy
    
    ---
    
    ## Godot-Specific Architecture Sections
    
    ### Signal-Driven Communication
    
    **Godot's built-in Observer pattern:**
    
    ```gdscript
    # GameManager.gd (Autoload singleton)
    extends Node
    
    signal game_started
    signal game_paused
    signal game_over(final_score: int)
    
    func start_game() -> void:
        game_started.emit()
    
    func pause_game() -> void:
        get_tree().paused = true
        game_paused.emit()
    
    # In Player.gd
    func _ready() -> void:
        GameManager.game_started.connect(_on_game_started)
        GameManager.game_over.connect(_on_game_over)
    
    func _on_game_started() -> void:
        position = Vector2.ZERO
        health = max_health
    ```
    
    **Benefits:**
    
    - Decoupled systems
    - No FindNode or get_node everywhere
    - Type-safe with typed signals (Godot 4)
    
    ---
    
    ### Godot Scene Architecture
    
    **Scene organization patterns:**
    
    **1. Composition Pattern:**
    
    ```
    Player (CharacterBody2D)
    ├── Sprite2D
    ├── CollisionShape2D
    ├── AnimationPlayer
    ├── HealthComponent (Node - custom script)
    ├── InputComponent (Node - custom script)
    └── WeaponMount (Node2D)
        └── Weapon (instanced scene)
    ```
    
    **2. Scene Inheritance:**
    
    ```
    BaseEnemy.tscn
    ├── Inherits → FlyingEnemy.tscn (adds wings, aerial movement)
    └── Inherits → GroundEnemy.tscn (adds ground collision)
    ```
    
    **3. Autoload Singletons:**
    
    ```
    # In Project Settings > Autoload:
    GameManager → res://scripts/managers/game_manager.gd
    AudioManager → res://scripts/managers/audio_manager.gd
    SaveManager → res://scripts/managers/save_manager.gd
    ```
    
    ---
    
    ### Performance Optimization
    
    **Godot-specific considerations:**
    
    - **Static Typing**: Use type hints for GDScript performance (`var health: int = 100`)
    - **Object Pooling**: Implement manually or use addons
    - **CanvasItem batching**: Reduce draw calls with texture atlases
    - **Viewport rendering**: Offload effects to separate viewports
    - **GDScript vs C#**: C# faster for heavy computation, GDScript faster for simple logic
    
    **Target Performance:**
    
    - **PC**: 60 FPS minimum
    - **Mobile**: 60 FPS (high-end), 30 FPS (low-end)
    - **Web**: 30-60 FPS depending on complexity
    
    **Profiler:**
    
    - Use Godot's built-in profiler (Debug > Profiler)
    - Monitor FPS, draw calls, physics time
    
    ---
    
    ### Testing Strategy
    
    **GUT (Godot Unit Test):**
    
    ```gdscript
    # test_player.gd
    extends GutTest
    
    func test_player_takes_damage():
        var player = Player.new()
        add_child(player)
        player.health = 100
    
        player.take_damage(20)
    
        assert_eq(player.health, 80, "Player health should decrease")
    ```
    
    **GoDotTest for C#:**
    
    ```csharp
    [Test]
    public void PlayerTakesDamage_DecreasesHealth()
    {
        var player = new Player();
        player.Health = 100;
    
        player.TakeDamage(20);
    
        Assert.That(player.Health, Is.EqualTo(80));
    }
    ```
    
    **Recommended Coverage:**
    
    - 80% minimum test coverage (from expansion pack)
    - Test game systems, not rendering
    - Use GUT for GDScript, GoDotTest for C#

    ---
    
    ## Common Pitfalls
    
    1. **Over-using get_node()** - Cache node references in `@onready` variables
    2. **Not using type hints** - Static typing improves GDScript performance
    3. **Deep node hierarchies** - Keep scene trees shallow for performance
    4. **Ignoring signals** - Use signals instead of polling or direct coupling
    5. **Not leveraging autoload** - Use autoload singletons for global state
    6. **Poor scene organization** - Plan scene structure before building
    7. **Forgetting to queue_free()** - Memory leaks from unreleased nodes

    <file id="bmad/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/templates/game-engine-unity-guide.md" type="md"><![CDATA[# Unity Game Engine Architecture Guide
    
    This guide provides Unity-specific guidance for solution architecture generation.
    
    ---
    
    ## Unity-Specific Questions
    
    ### 1. Unity Version and Render Pipeline
    
    **Ask:**
    
    - Which Unity version are you targeting? (2021 LTS, 2022 LTS, 2023+, 6000+)
    - Which render pipeline? (Built-in, URP Universal Render Pipeline, HDRP High Definition)
    - Target platform(s)? (PC, Mobile, Console, WebGL)
    
    **Guidance:**
    
    - **2021/2022 LTS**: Stable, well-supported, good for production
    - **URP**: Best for mobile and cross-platform (lower overhead)
    - **HDRP**: High-fidelity graphics for PC/console only
    - **Built-in**: Legacy, avoid for new projects
    
    **Record ADR:** Unity version and render pipeline choice
    
    ---
    
    ### 2. Architecture Pattern
    
    **Ask:**
    
    - Component-based MonoBehaviour architecture? (Unity standard)
    - ECS (Entity Component System) for performance-critical systems?
    - Hybrid (MonoBehaviour + ECS where needed)?
    
    **Guidance:**
    
    - **MonoBehaviour**: Standard, easy to use, good for most games
    - **ECS/DOTS**: High performance, steep learning curve, use for massive scale (1000s of entities)
    - **Hybrid**: MonoBehaviour for gameplay, ECS for particles/crowds
    
    **Record ADR:** Architecture pattern choice and justification
    
    ---
    
    ### 3. Data Management Strategy
    
    **Ask:**
    
    - ScriptableObjects for data-driven design?
    - JSON/XML config files?
    - Addressables for asset management?
    
    **Guidance:**
    
    - **ScriptableObjects**: Unity-native, inspector-friendly, good for game data (enemies, items, levels)
    - **Addressables**: Essential for large games, enables asset streaming and DLC
    - Avoid Resources folder (deprecated pattern)
    
    **Record ADR:** Data management approach
    
    ---
    
    ## Unity-Specific Architecture Sections
    
    ### Game Systems Architecture
    
    **Components to define:**
    
    - **Player Controller**: Character movement, input handling
    - **Camera System**: Follow camera, cinemachine usage
    - **Game State Manager**: Scene transitions, game modes, pause/resume
    - **Save System**: PlayerPrefs vs JSON vs Cloud Save
    - **Input System**: New Input System vs Legacy
    
    **Unity-specific patterns:**
    
    ```csharp
    // Singleton GameManager pattern
    public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
    {
        public static GameManager Instance { get; private set; }
    
        void Awake()
        {
            if (Instance == null) Instance = this;
            else Destroy(gameObject);
            DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
        }
    }
    
    // ScriptableObject data pattern
    [CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "EnemyData", menuName = "Game/Enemy")]
    public class EnemyData : ScriptableObject
    {
        public string enemyName;
        public int health;
        public float speed;
        public GameObject prefab;
    }
    ```
    
    ---
    
    ### Unity Events and Communication
    
    **Ask:**
    
    - UnityEvents for inspector-wired connections?
    - C# Events for code-based pub/sub?
    - Message system for decoupled communication?
    
    **Guidance:**
    
    - **UnityEvents**: Good for designer-configurable connections
    - **C# Events**: Better performance, type-safe
    - **Avoid** FindObjectOfType and GetComponent in Update()
    
    **Pattern:**
    
    ```csharp
    // Event-driven damage system
    public class HealthSystem : MonoBehaviour
    {
        public UnityEvent<int> OnDamaged;
        public UnityEvent OnDeath;
    
        public void TakeDamage(int amount)
        {
            health -= amount;
            OnDamaged?.Invoke(amount);
            if (health <= 0) OnDeath?.Invoke();
        }
    }
    ```
    
    ---
    
    ### Performance Optimization
    
    **Unity-specific considerations:**
    
    - **Object Pooling**: Essential for bullets, particles, enemies
    - **Sprite Batching**: Use sprite atlases, minimize draw calls
    - **Physics Optimization**: Layer-based collision matrix
    - **Profiler Usage**: CPU, GPU, Memory, Physics profilers
    - **IL2CPP vs Mono**: Build performance differences
    
    **Target Performance:**
    
    - Mobile: 60 FPS minimum (30 FPS for complex 3D)
    - PC: 60 FPS minimum
    - Monitor with Unity Profiler
    
    ---
    
    ### Testing Strategy
    
    **Unity Test Framework:**
    
    - **Edit Mode Tests**: Test pure C# logic, no Unity lifecycle
    - **Play Mode Tests**: Test MonoBehaviour components in play mode
    - Use `[UnityTest]` attribute for coroutine tests
    - Mock Unity APIs with interfaces
    
    **Example:**
    
    ```csharp
    [UnityTest]
    public IEnumerator Player_TakesDamage_DecreasesHealth()
    {
        var player = new GameObject().AddComponent<Player>();
        player.health = 100;
    
        player.TakeDamage(20);
    
        yield return null; // Wait one frame
    
        Assert.AreEqual(80, player.health);
    }
    ```
    
    ---
    
    ### Source Tree Structure
    
    **Unity-specific folders:**
    
    ```

    <file id="bmad/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/templates/game-engine-web-guide.md" type="md"><![CDATA[# Web Game Engine Architecture Guide
    
    This guide provides web game engine-specific guidance (Phaser, PixiJS, Three.js, Babylon.js) for solution architecture generation.
    
    ---
    
    ## Web Game-Specific Questions
    
    ### 1. Engine and Technology Selection
    
    **Ask:**
    
    - Which engine? (Phaser 3, PixiJS, Three.js, Babylon.js, custom Canvas/WebGL)
    - TypeScript or JavaScript?
    - Build tool? (Vite, Webpack, Rollup, Parcel)
    - Target platform(s)? (Desktop web, mobile web, PWA, Cordova/Capacitor wrapper)
    
    **Guidance:**
    
    - **Phaser 3**: Full-featured 2D game framework, great for beginners
    - **PixiJS**: 2D rendering library, more low-level than Phaser
    - **Three.js**: 3D graphics library, mature ecosystem
    - **Babylon.js**: Complete 3D game engine, WebXR support
    - **TypeScript**: Recommended for all web games (type safety, better tooling)
    - **Vite**: Modern, fast, HMR - best for development
    
    **Record ADR:** Engine selection and build tooling
    
    ---
    
    ### 2. Architecture Pattern
    
    **Ask:**
    
    - Scene-based architecture? (Phaser scenes, custom scene manager)
    - ECS (Entity Component System)? (Libraries: bitECS, ecsy)
    - State management? (Redux, Zustand, custom FSM)
    
    **Guidance:**
    
    - **Scene-based**: Natural for Phaser, good for level-based games
    - **ECS**: Better performance for large entity counts (100s+)
    - **FSM**: Good for simple state transitions (menu → game → gameover)
    
    **Phaser Pattern:**
    
    ```typescript
    // MainMenuScene.ts
    export class MainMenuScene extends Phaser.Scene {
      constructor() {
        super({ key: 'MainMenu' });
      }
    
      create() {
        this.add.text(400, 300, 'Main Menu', { fontSize: '32px' });
    
        const startButton = this.add
          .text(400, 400, 'Start Game', { fontSize: '24px' })
          .setInteractive()
          .on('pointerdown', () => {
            this.scene.start('GameScene');
          });
      }
    }
    ```
    
    **Record ADR:** Architecture pattern and scene management
    
    ---
    
    ### 3. Asset Management
    
    **Ask:**
    
    - Asset loading strategy? (Preload all, lazy load, progressive)
    - Texture atlas usage? (TexturePacker, built-in tools)
    - Audio format strategy? (MP3, OGG, WebM)
    
    **Guidance:**
    
    - **Preload**: Load all assets at start (simple, small games)
    - **Lazy load**: Load per-level (better for larger games)
    - **Texture atlases**: Essential for performance (reduce draw calls)
    - **Audio**: MP3 for compatibility, OGG for smaller size, use both
    
    **Phaser loading:**
    
    ```typescript
    class PreloadScene extends Phaser.Scene {
      preload() {
        // Show progress bar
        this.load.on('progress', (value: number) => {
          console.log('Loading: ' + Math.round(value * 100) + '%');
        });
    
        // Load assets
        this.load.atlas('sprites', 'assets/sprites.png', 'assets/sprites.json');
        this.load.audio('music', ['assets/music.mp3', 'assets/music.ogg']);
        this.load.audio('jump', ['assets/sfx/jump.mp3', 'assets/sfx/jump.ogg']);
      }
    
      create() {
        this.scene.start('MainMenu');
      }
    }
    ```
    
    **Record ADR:** Asset loading and management strategy
    
    ---
    
    ## Web Game-Specific Architecture Sections
    
    ### Performance Optimization
    
    **Web-specific considerations:**
    
    - **Object Pooling**: Mandatory for bullets, particles, enemies (avoid GC pauses)
    - **Sprite Batching**: Use texture atlases, minimize state changes
    - **Canvas vs WebGL**: WebGL for better performance (most games)
    - **Draw Call Reduction**: Batch similar sprites, use sprite sheets
    - **Memory Management**: Watch heap size, profile with Chrome DevTools
    
    **Object Pooling Pattern:**
    
    ```typescript
    class BulletPool {
      private pool: Bullet[] = [];
      private scene: Phaser.Scene;
    
      constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, size: number) {
        this.scene = scene;
        for (let i = 0; i < size; i++) {
          const bullet = new Bullet(scene);
          bullet.setActive(false).setVisible(false);
          this.pool.push(bullet);
        }
      }
    
      spawn(x: number, y: number, velocityX: number, velocityY: number): Bullet | null {
        const bullet = this.pool.find((b) => !b.active);
        if (bullet) {
          bullet.spawn(x, y, velocityX, velocityY);
        }
        return bullet || null;
      }
    }
    ```
    
    **Target Performance:**
    
    - **Desktop**: 60 FPS minimum
    - **Mobile**: 60 FPS (high-end), 30 FPS (low-end)
    - **Profile with**: Chrome DevTools Performance tab, Phaser Debug plugin
    
    ---
    
    ### Input Handling
    
    **Multi-input support:**
    
    ```typescript
    class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene {
      private cursors?: Phaser.Types.Input.Keyboard.CursorKeys;
      private wasd?: { [key: string]: Phaser.Input.Keyboard.Key };
    
      create() {
        // Keyboard
        this.cursors = this.input.keyboard?.createCursorKeys();
        this.wasd = this.input.keyboard?.addKeys('W,S,A,D') as any;
    
        // Mouse/Touch
        this.input.on('pointerdown', (pointer: Phaser.Input.Pointer) => {
          this.handleClick(pointer.x, pointer.y);
        });
    
        // Gamepad (optional)
        this.input.gamepad?.on('down', (pad, button, index) => {
          this.handleGamepadButton(button);
        });
      }
    
      update() {
        // Handle keyboard input
        if (this.cursors?.left.isDown || this.wasd?.A.isDown) {
          this.player.moveLeft();
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    ### State Persistence
    
    **LocalStorage pattern:**
    
    ```typescript
    interface GameSaveData {
      level: number;
      score: number;
      playerStats: {
        health: number;
        lives: number;
      };
    }
    
    class SaveManager {
      private static SAVE_KEY = 'game_save_data';
    
      static save(data: GameSaveData): void {
        localStorage.setItem(this.SAVE_KEY, JSON.stringify(data));
      }
    
      static load(): GameSaveData | null {
        const data = localStorage.getItem(this.SAVE_KEY);
        return data ? JSON.parse(data) : null;
      }
    
      static clear(): void {
        localStorage.removeItem(this.SAVE_KEY);
      }
    }
    ```

    ### Testing Strategy
    
    **Jest + TypeScript:**
    
    ```typescript
    // Player.test.ts
    import { Player } from '../entities/Player';
    
    describe('Player', () => {
      let player: Player;
    
      beforeEach(() => {
        // Mock Phaser scene
        const mockScene = {
          add: { sprite: jest.fn() },
          physics: { add: { sprite: jest.fn() } },
        } as any;
    
        player = new Player(mockScene, 0, 0);
      });
    
      test('takes damage correctly', () => {
        player.health = 100;
        player.takeDamage(20);
        expect(player.health).toBe(80);
      });
    
      test('dies when health reaches zero', () => {
        player.health = 10;
        player.takeDamage(20);
        expect(player.alive).toBe(false);
      });
    });
    ```
    
    **E2E Testing:**
    
    - Playwright for browser automation
    - Cypress for interactive testing
    - Test game states, not individual frames
    
    ---
    
    ### Deployment and Build
    
    **Build for production:**
    
    ```json
    // package.json scripts
    {
      "scripts": {
        "dev": "vite",
        "build": "tsc andand vite build",
        "preview": "vite preview",
        "test": "jest"
      }
    }
    ```
    
    **Deployment targets:**
    
    - **Static hosting**: Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, AWS S3
    - **CDN**: Cloudflare, Fastly for global distribution
    - **PWA**: Service worker for offline play
    - **Mobile wrapper**: Cordova or Capacitor for app stores
    
    **Optimization:**
    
    ```typescript
    // vite.config.ts
    export default defineConfig({
      build: {
        rollupOptions: {
          output: {
            manualChunks: {
              phaser: ['phaser'], // Separate Phaser bundle
            },
          },
        },
        minify: 'terser',
        terserOptions: {
          compress: {
            drop_console: true, // Remove console.log in prod
          },
        },
      },
    });
    ```
    
    ---
    
    ## Specialist Recommendations
    
    ### Audio Designer
    
    **When needed:** Games with music, sound effects, ambience
    **Responsibilities:**
    
    - Web Audio API architecture
    - Audio sprite creation (combine sounds into one file)
    - Music loop management
    - Sound effect implementation
    - Audio performance on web (decode strategy)
    
    ### Performance Optimizer
    
    **When needed:** Mobile web games, complex games
    **Responsibilities:**
    
    - Chrome DevTools profiling
    - Object pooling implementation
    - Draw call optimization
    - Memory management
    - Bundle size optimization
    - Network performance (asset loading)
    
    ### Monetization Specialist
    
    **When needed:** F2P web games
    **Responsibilities:**
    
    - Ad network integration (Google AdSense, AdMob for web)
    - In-game purchases (Stripe, PayPal)
    - Analytics (Google Analytics, custom events)
    - A/B testing frameworks
    - Economy design
    
    ### Platform Specialist
    
    **When needed:** Mobile wrapper apps (Cordova/Capacitor)
    **Responsibilities:**
    
    - Native plugin integration
    - Platform-specific performance tuning
    - App store submission
    - Device compatibility testing
    - Push notification setup
    
    ---
    
    ## Common Pitfalls
    
    1. **Not using object pooling** - Frequent instantiation causes GC pauses
    2. **Too many draw calls** - Use texture atlases and sprite batching
    3. **Loading all assets at once** - Causes long initial load times
    4. **Not testing on mobile** - Performance vastly different on phones
    5. **Ignoring bundle size** - Large bundles = slow load times
    6. **Not handling window resize** - Web games run in resizable windows
    7. **Forgetting audio autoplay restrictions** - Browsers block auto-play without user interaction
    
    ---
    
    ## Engine-Specific Patterns
    
    ### Phaser 3
    
    ```typescript
    const config: Phaser.Types.Core.GameConfig = {
      type: Phaser.AUTO, // WebGL with Canvas fallback
      width: 800,
      height: 600,
      physics: {
        default: 'arcade',
        arcade: { gravity: { y: 300 }, debug: false },
      },
      scene: [PreloadScene, MainMenuScene, GameScene, GameOverScene],
    };
    
    const game = new Phaser.Game(config);
    ```
    
    ### PixiJS
    
    ```typescript
    const app = new PIXI.Application({
      width: 800,
      height: 600,
      backgroundColor: 0x1099bb,
    });
    
    document.body.appendChild(app.view);
    
    const sprite = PIXI.Sprite.from('assets/player.png');
    app.stage.addChild(sprite);
    
    app.ticker.add((delta) => {
      sprite.rotation += 0.01 * delta;
    });
    ```
    
    ### Three.js
    
    ```typescript
    const scene = new THREE.Scene();
    const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(75, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 0.1, 1000);
    const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
    
    renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
    document.body.appendChild(renderer.domElement);
    
    const geometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry();
    const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0x00ff00 });
    const cube = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
    scene.add(cube);
    
    function animate() {
      requestAnimationFrame(animate);
      cube.rotation.x += 0.01;
      renderer.render(scene, camera);
    }
    animate();
    ```

    ## Key Architecture Decision Records
    
    ### ADR Template for Web Games
    
    **ADR-XXX: [Title]**
    
    **Context:**
    What web game-specific issue are we solving?
    
    **Options:**
    
    1. Phaser 3 (full framework)
    2. PixiJS (rendering library)
    3. Three.js/Babylon.js (3D)
    4. Custom Canvas/WebGL
    
    **Decision:**
    We chose [Option X]
    
    **Web-specific Rationale:**
    
    - Engine features vs bundle size
    - Community and plugin ecosystem
    - TypeScript support
    - Performance on target devices (mobile web)
    - Browser compatibility
    - Development velocity
    
    **Consequences:**
    
    - Impact on bundle size (Phaser ~1.2MB gzipped)
    - Learning curve
    - Platform limitations
    - Plugin availability

    **Epic Structure** - Major delivery milestones
    
    Create high-level epic list showing logical delivery sequence.
    
    **Epic Sequencing Rules:**
    
    1. **Epic 1 MUST establish foundation**
       - Project infrastructure (repo, CI/CD, core setup)
       - Initial deployable functionality
       - Development workflow established
       - Exception: If adding to existing app, Epic 1 can be first major feature
    
    2. **Subsequent Epics:**
       - Each delivers significant, end-to-end, fully deployable increment
       - Build upon previous epics (no forward dependencies)
       - Represent major functional blocks
       - Prefer fewer, larger epics over fragmentation
    
    **Scale guidance:**
    
    - Level 2: 1-2 epics, 5-15 stories total
    - Level 3: 2-5 epics, 15-40 stories total
    - Level 4: 5-10 epics, 40-100+ stories total
    
    **For each epic provide:**
    
    - Epic number and title
    - Single-sentence goal statement
    - Estimated story count
    
    **Example:**
    
    - **Epic 1: Project Foundation & User Authentication**
    - **Epic 2: Core Task Management**

    1. **Expanded Goal** (2-3 sentences)
       - Describe the epic's objective and value delivery
       - Explain how it builds on previous work
    
    2. **Story Breakdown**
    
       **Critical Story Requirements:**
       - **Vertical slices** - Each story delivers complete, testable functionality
       - **Sequential** - Stories must be logically ordered within epic
       - **No forward dependencies** - No story depends on work from a later story/epic
       - **AI-agent sized** - Completable in single focused session (2-4 hours)
       - **Value-focused** - Minimize pure enabler stories; integrate technical work into value delivery
    
       **Story Format:**
    
       ```

    3. **Story Sequencing Within Epic:**
       - Start with foundational/setup work if needed
       - Build progressively toward epic goal
       - Each story should leave system in working state
       - Final stories complete the epic's value delivery

    ## Overview
    
    This document provides the detailed epic breakdown for {{project_name}}, expanding on the high-level epic list in the [PRD](./PRD.md).
    
    Each epic includes:
    
    - Expanded goal and value proposition
    - Complete story breakdown with user stories
    - Acceptance criteria for each story
    - Story sequencing and dependencies
    
    **Epic Sequencing Principles:**
    
    - Epic 1 establishes foundational infrastructure and initial functionality
    - Subsequent epics build progressively, each delivering significant end-to-end value
    - Stories within epics are vertically sliced and sequentially ordered
    - No forward dependencies - each story builds only on previous work

    ## Story Guidelines Reference
    
    **Story Format:**
    
    ```
    **Story [EPIC.N]: [Story Title]**
    
    As a [user type],
    I want [goal/desire],
    So that [benefit/value].
    
    **Acceptance Criteria:**

    2. [Another specific criterion]
    3. [etc.]
    
    **Prerequisites:** [Dependencies on previous stories, if any]
    ```
    
    **Story Requirements:**
    
    - **Vertical slices** - Complete, testable functionality delivery
    - **Sequential ordering** - Logical progression within epic
    - **No forward dependencies** - Only depend on previous work
    - **AI-agent sized** - Completable in 2-4 hour focused session
    - **Value-focused** - Integrate technical enablers into value-delivering stories
    
    ---
    
    **For implementation:** Use the `create-story` workflow to generate individual story implementation plans from this epic breakdown.

    **Story Tracking:** {{story_tracking_mode}}
    
    {{#if in_phase_4}}
    
    #### BACKLOG (Not Yet Drafted)
    
    **Ordered story sequence - populated at Phase 4 start:**
    
    | Epic | Story | ID  | Title | File |
    | ---- | ----- | --- | ----- | ---- |
    
    {{#backlog_stories}}
    | {{epic_num}} | {{story_num}} | {{story_id}} | {{story_title}} | {{story_file}} |
    {{/backlog_stories}}
    
    **Total in backlog:** {{backlog_count}} stories
    
    **Instructions:**
    
    - Stories move from BACKLOG → TODO when previous story is complete
    - SM agent uses story information from this table to draft new stories
    - Story order is sequential (Epic 1 stories first, then Epic 2, etc.)
    
    #### TODO (Needs Drafting)
    
    - **Story ID:** {{todo_story_id}}
    - **Story Title:** {{todo_story_title}}
    - **Story File:** `{{todo_story_file}}`
    - **Status:** Not created OR Draft (needs review)
    - **Action:** SM should run `create-story` workflow to draft this story
    
    **Instructions:**
    
    - Only ONE story in TODO at a time
    - Story stays in TODO until user marks it "ready for development"
    - SM reads this section to know which story to draft next
    - After SM creates/updates story, user reviews and approves via `story-ready` workflow
    
    #### IN PROGRESS (Approved for Development)
    
    - **Story ID:** {{current_story_id}}
    - **Story Title:** {{current_story_title}}
    - **Story File:** `{{current_story_file}}`
    - **Story Status:** Ready | In Review
    - **Context File:** `{{current_story_context_file}}`
    - **Action:** DEV should run `dev-story` workflow to implement this story
    
    **Instructions:**
    
    - Only ONE story in IN PROGRESS at a time
    - Story stays here until user marks it "approved" (DoD complete)
    - DEV reads this section to know which story to implement
    - After DEV completes story, user reviews and runs `story-approved` workflow
    
    #### DONE (Completed Stories)
    
    | Story ID | File | Completed Date | Points |
    | -------- | ---- | -------------- | ------ |
    
    {{#done_stories}}
    | {{story_id}} | {{story_file}} | {{completed_date}} | {{story_points}} |
    {{/done_stories}}
    
    **Total completed:** {{done_count}} stories
    **Total points completed:** {{done_points}} points
    
    **Instructions:**
    
    - Stories move here when user runs `story-approved` workflow (DEV agent)
    - Immutable record of completed work
    - Used for velocity tracking and progress reporting
    
    #### Epic/Story Summary
    
    **Total Epics:** {{total_epics}}
    **Total Stories:** {{total_stories}}
    **Stories in Backlog:** {{backlog_count}}
    **Stories in TODO:** {{todo_count}} (should always be 0 or 1)
    **Stories in IN PROGRESS:** {{in_progress_count}} (should always be 0 or 1)
    **Stories DONE:** {{done_count}}
    
    **Epic Breakdown:**
    {{#epics}}
    
    - Epic {{epic_number}}: {{epic_title}} ({{epic_done_stories}}/{{epic_total_stories}} stories complete)
      {{/epics}}
    
    #### State Transition Logic
    
    **Story Lifecycle:**
    
    ```
    BACKLOG → TODO → IN PROGRESS → DONE
    ```
    
    **Transition Rules:**
    
    1. **BACKLOG → TODO**: Automatically when previous story moves TODO → IN PROGRESS
    2. **TODO → IN PROGRESS**: User runs SM agent `story-ready` workflow after reviewing drafted story
    3. **IN PROGRESS → DONE**: User runs DEV agent `story-approved` workflow after DoD complete
    
    **Important:**
    
    - SM agent NEVER searches for "next story" - always reads TODO section
    - DEV agent NEVER searches for "current story" - always reads IN PROGRESS section
    - Both agents update this status file after their workflows complete

    ## Agent Usage Guide
    
    ### For SM (Scrum Master) Agent
    
    **When to use this file:**
    
    - Running `create-story` workflow → Read "TODO (Needs Drafting)" section for exact story to draft
    - Running `story-ready` workflow → Update status file, move story from TODO → IN PROGRESS, move next story from BACKLOG → TODO
    - Checking epic/story progress → Read "Epic/Story Summary" section
    
    **Key fields to read:**
    
    - `todo_story_id` → The story ID to draft (e.g., "1.1", "auth-feature-1")
    - `todo_story_title` → The story title for drafting
    - `todo_story_file` → The exact file path to create
    
    **Key fields to update:**
    
    - Move completed TODO story → IN PROGRESS section
    - Move next BACKLOG story → TODO section
    - Update story counts
    
    **Workflows:**
    
    1. `create-story` - Drafts the story in TODO section (user reviews it)

    ### For DEV (Developer) Agent
    
    **When to use this file:**
    
    - Running `dev-story` workflow → Read "IN PROGRESS (Approved for Development)" section for current story
    - Running `story-approved` workflow → Update status file, move story from IN PROGRESS → DONE, move TODO story → IN PROGRESS, move BACKLOG story → TODO
    - Checking what to work on → Read "IN PROGRESS" section
    
    **Key fields to read:**
    
    - `current_story_file` → The story to implement
    - `current_story_context_file` → The context XML for this story
    - `current_story_status` → Current status (Ready | In Review)
    
    **Key fields to update:**
    
    - Move completed IN PROGRESS story → DONE section with completion date
    - Move TODO story → IN PROGRESS section
    - Move next BACKLOG story → TODO section
    - Update story counts and points
    
    **Workflows:**
    
    1. `dev-story` - Implements the story in IN PROGRESS section
    2. `story-approved` - After user approval (DoD complete), moves story IN PROGRESS → DONE
    
    ### For PM (Product Manager) Agent
    
    **When to use this file:**
    
    - Checking overall progress → Read "Phase Completion Status"
    - Planning next phase → Read "Overall Progress" percentage
    - Course correction → Read "Decision Log" for context
    
    **Key fields:**
    
    - `progress_percentage` → Overall project progress
    - `current_phase` → What phase are we in
    - `artifacts` table → What's been generated

    - Use active, user-focused language
    - Describe WHAT is delivered, not HOW
    - Good: "Icon Migration to Internal CDN"
    - Bad: "Run curl commands to download PNGs"
    
    **Story Description Format:**
    
    - As a [role] (developer, user, admin, etc.)
    - I want [capability/change]
    - So that [benefit/value]
    
    **Acceptance Criteria:**
    
    - Extract from tech-spec "Testing Approach" section
    - Must be specific, measurable, and testable
    - Include performance criteria if specified
    
    **Tasks/Subtasks:**

    - Use checkboxes for tracking
    - Reference AC numbers: (AC: #1), (AC: #2)
    - Include explicit testing subtasks
    
    **Dev Notes:**
    
    - Extract technical constraints from tech-spec
    - Include file paths from "Source Tree Structure"
    - Reference architecture patterns if applicable

    <example>
    **Epic:** JS Library Icon Reliability
    
    **Goal:** Eliminate external dependencies for JS library icons to ensure consistent, reliable display and improve application performance.
    
    **Scope:** Migrate all 14 recommended JS library icons from third-party CDN URLs (GitHub, jsDelivr) to internal static asset hosting.
    
    **Success Criteria:**
    
    - All library icons load from internal paths
    - Zero external requests for library icons
    - Icons load 50-200ms faster than baseline
    - No broken icons in production
      </example>

    <action>Group related tasks into logical story boundaries</action>
    
    <guidelines>
    **Story Count Decision Matrix:**
    
    **2 Stories (preferred for most Level 1):**
    
    - Use when: Feature has clear build/verify split
    - Example: Story 1 = Build feature, Story 2 = Test and deploy
    - Typical points: 3-5 points per story
    
    **3 Stories (only if necessary):**
    
    - Use when: Feature has distinct setup, build, verify phases
    - Example: Story 1 = Setup, Story 2 = Core implementation, Story 3 = Integration and testing
    - Typical points: 2-3 points per story
    
    **Never exceed 3 stories for Level 1:**
    
    - If more needed, consider if project should be Level 2
    - Better to have longer stories (5 points) than more stories (5x 1-point stories)
      </guidelines>

    <action>For each story (2-3 total), generate separate story file</action>
    <action>Story filename format: "story-{epic_slug}-{n}.md" where n = 1, 2, or 3</action>
    
    <guidelines>
    **Story Generation Guidelines:**
    - Each story = multiple implementation tasks from tech spec
    - Story title format: User-focused deliverable (not implementation steps)
    - Include technical acceptance criteria from tech spec tasks
    - Link back to tech spec sections for implementation details
    
    **Story Point Estimation:**
    
    - 1 point = < 1 day (2-4 hours)
    - 2 points = 1-2 days
    - 3 points = 2-3 days
    - 5 points = 3-5 days
    
    **Level 1 Typical Totals:**
    
    - Total story points: 5-10 points
    - 2 stories: 3-5 points each
    - 3 stories: 2-3 points each
    - If total > 15 points, consider if this should be Level 2
    
    **Story Structure (MUST match create-story format):**
    
    - Status: Draft
    - Story: As a [role], I want [capability], so that [benefit]
    - Acceptance Criteria: Numbered list from tech spec
    - Tasks / Subtasks: Checkboxes mapped to tech spec tasks (AC: #n references)
    - Dev Notes: Technical summary, project structure notes, references
    - Dev Agent Record: Empty sections for context workflow to populate

    d. Run dev-story workflow to implement story 1
    
    **2. After Story 1 Complete:**
    
    - Repeat process for story-{epic_slug}-2.md
    - Story context will auto-reference completed story 1
    
    **3. After Story 2 Complete:**
