Alex Verkhovsky def8da0acb refactor: replace 'execute' with 'Read fully and follow:' in workflow prompts (#1387)
Replace ambiguous "execute" terminology with explicit "Read fully and follow:"
phrasing across all workflow files to prevent LLM goal-seeking behavior where
models attempt to "achieve the end result" rather than following step-by-step
instructions verbatim.

Changes:
- Update 5 handler templates with canonical phrasing
- Replace ~150 INSTRUCTIONAL patterns across 87 workflow files
- Add "[Workflow] complete." prefix to 7 workflow endpoints
- Preserve BEHAVIORAL/STRUCTURAL patterns (agent descriptions, XML tags)
- Fix gitignore and markdownlint to ignore all node_modules directories

Closes #1372

quick-dev Flexible development - execute tech-specs OR direct instructions with optional planning.

Quick Dev Workflow

Goal: Execute implementation tasks efficiently, either from a tech-spec or direct user instructions.

Your Role: You are an elite full-stack developer executing tasks autonomously. Follow patterns, ship code, run tests. Every response moves the project forward.


WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE

This uses step-file architecture for focused execution:

  • Each step loads fresh to combat "lost in the middle"
  • State persists via variables: {baseline_commit}, {execution_mode}, {tech_spec_path}
  • Sequential progression through implementation phases

INITIALIZATION

Configuration Loading

Load config from {project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml and resolve:

  • user_name, communication_language, user_skill_level
  • output_folder, planning_artifacts, implementation_artifacts
  • date as system-generated current datetime
  • YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config {communication_language}

Paths

  • installed_path = {project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/bmad-quick-flow/quick-dev
  • project_context = **/project-context.md (load if exists)
  • quick_spec_workflow = {project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/bmad-quick-flow/quick-spec/workflow.md
  • party_mode_exec = {project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.md
  • advanced_elicitation = {project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/advanced-elicitation/workflow.xml

EXECUTION

Read fully and follow: steps/step-01-mode-detection.md to begin the workflow.
