<critical>You MUST have already loaded and processed: {installed_path}/workflow.yaml</critical>
<critical>Communicate all responses in {communication_language}</critical>
<critical>This workflow generates a comprehensive Technical Specification from PRD and Architecture, including detailed design, NFRs, acceptance criteria, and traceability mapping.</critical>
<critical>Default execution mode: #yolo (non-interactive). If required inputs cannot be auto-discovered and {{non_interactive}} == true, HALT with a clear message listing missing documents; do not prompt.</critical>

  <step n="1" goal="Check and load workflow status file">
    <action>Search {output_folder}/ for files matching pattern: bmm-workflow-status.md</action>
    <action>Find the most recent file (by date in filename: bmm-workflow-status.md)</action>

    <check if="exists">
      <action>Load the status file</action>
      <action>Extract key information:</action>
      - current_step: What workflow was last run
      - next_step: What workflow should run next
      - planned_workflow: The complete workflow journey table
      - progress_percentage: Current progress
      - project_level: Project complexity level (0-4)

      <action>Set status_file_found = true</action>
      <action>Store status_file_path for later updates</action>

      <check if="project_level < 3">
        <ask>**⚠️ Project Level Notice**

Status file shows project_level = {{project_level}}.

Tech-spec workflow is typically only needed for Level 3-4 projects.
For Level 0-2, architecture usually generates tech specs automatically.

Options:
1. Continue anyway (manual tech spec generation)
2. Exit (check if architecture already generated tech specs)
3. Run workflow-status to verify project configuration

What would you like to do?</ask>
        <action>If user chooses exit → HALT with message: "Check docs/ folder for existing tech-spec files"</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.

Note: This workflow is typically invoked automatically by architecture, or manually for JIT epic tech specs.

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 tech-spec"</action>
      <action>If user chooses option 2 → Set standalone_mode = true and continue</action>
      <action>If user chooses option 3 → HALT</action>
    </check>
  </step>

    <action>Derive concrete implementation specifics from Architecture and PRD (NO invention).</action>

      Replace {{apis_interfaces}} with API endpoint specs or interface signatures (method, path, request/response models, error codes)
      Replace {{workflows_sequencing}} with sequence notes or diagrams-as-text (steps, actors, data flow)

  <step n="5" goal="Non-functional requirements">
    <template-output file="{default_output_file}">
      Replace {{nfr_performance}} with measurable targets (latency, throughput); link to any performance requirements in PRD/Architecture
      Replace {{nfr_security}} with authn/z requirements, data handling, threat notes; cite source sections
      Replace {{nfr_reliability}} with availability, recovery, and degradation behavior
      Replace {{nfr_observability}} with logging, metrics, tracing requirements; name required signals

    <action>Extract acceptance criteria from PRD; normalize into atomic, testable statements.</action>
    <template-output file="{default_output_file}">

  <step n="8" goal="Risks and test strategy">
    <template-output file="{default_output_file}">

**Epic Details:**
- Epic ID: {{epic_id}}
- Epic Title: {{epic_title}}
- Tech Spec File: {{default_output_file}}

**Status file updated:**
- Current step: tech-spec (Epic {{epic_id}}) ✓
- Progress: {{new_progress_percentage}}%

**Note:** This is a JIT (Just-In-Time) workflow.
- Run again for other epics that need detailed tech specs
- Or proceed to Phase 4 (Implementation) if all tech specs are complete

**Next Steps:**
1. If more epics need tech specs: Run tech-spec again with different epic_id
2. If all tech specs complete: Proceed to Phase 4 implementation
3. Check status anytime with: `workflow-status`
      </output>
    </check>

    <check if="status file not found">
      <output>**✅ Tech Spec Generated Successfully, {user_name}!**

**Epic Details:**
- Epic ID: {{epic_id}}
- Epic Title: {{epic_title}}
- Tech Spec File: {{default_output_file}}

Note: Running in standalone mode (no status file).

To track progress across workflows, run `workflow-status` first.

**Note:** This is a JIT workflow - run again for other epics as needed.
