- **Game Designer** - Creative vision and GDD creation
- **Game Developer** - Game-specific implementation
- **Game Architect** - Game systems and infrastructure
### 📋 Workflows
Four-phase methodology adapting to project complexity:
**1. Analysis** (Optional)
- `brainstorm-project` - Project ideation
- `research` - Market/technical research
- `product-brief` - Product strategy
**2. Planning** (Required)
- `prd` - Scale-adaptive planning
- Routes to appropriate documentation level
**3. Solutioning** (Level 3-4)
- `architecture` - System design
- `tech-spec` - Epic technical specifications
**4. Implementation** (Iterative)
- `create-story` - Draft stories
- `story-context` - Inject expertise
- `dev-story` - Implement
- `code-review` - Validate quality
### 👥 Teams
Pre-configured agent groups for coordinated complex tasks.
### 📝 Tasks
Atomic work units composing into larger workflows.
### 🏗️ Test Architecture
**[TEA Guide](./testarch/README.md)** - Comprehensive testing strategy across 9 specialized workflows.
## Quick Start
1. **Load PM agent** in your IDE
2. **Wait for menu** to appear
3. **Run workflow:**
```
*prd
```
**IDE Instructions:**
- [Claude Code](../../../docs/ide-info/claude-code.md)
- [Cursor](../../../docs/ide-info/cursor.md)
- [VS Code](../../../docs/ide-info/windsurf.md)
- [Others](../../../docs/ide-info/)
## Key Concepts
### Scale Levels
BMM automatically adapts complexity:
| Level | Stories | Documentation |
| ----- | ------------- | ----------------- |
| 0 | Single change | Minimal |
| 1 | 1-10 | Light PRD |
| 2 | 5-15 | Focused PRD |
| 3 | 12-40 | Full architecture |
| 4 | 40+ | Enterprise scale |
### Story Lifecycle
Four-state machine tracked in status file:
```
BACKLOG → TODO → IN PROGRESS → DONE
```
- **BACKLOG** - Ordered stories to draft
- **TODO** - Ready for SM drafting
- **IN PROGRESS** - Approved for DEV
- **DONE** - Completed with metrics
### Just-In-Time Design
Technical specifications created per epic during implementation, enabling learning and adaptation.
### Context Injection
Dynamic technical guidance generated for each story, providing exact expertise when needed.
## Best Practices
1. **Start with workflows** - Let process guide you
2. **Respect scale** - Don't over-document small projects
3. **Trust the process** - Methodology carefully designed
4. **Use status file** - Single source of truth for stories

# BMM Planning Workflows (Phase 2)
**Reading Time:** ~15 minutes
## Overview
Phase 2 (Planning) workflows are **required** for all projects. They transform strategic vision into actionable requirements that guide implementation. BMM uses a **scale-adaptive planning system** where the workflow automatically selects the right level of detail based on project complexity.
**Key principle:** One workflow to rule them all - `plan-project` intelligently routes to the appropriate planning flow based on project characteristics.

**Note:** The `plan-project` workflow is your single entry point. It automatically routes to the right planning workflow based on your answers to discovery questions.
**Critical:** After PRD/GDD/Narrative complete, you must run `create-epics-and-stories` to generate user stories (can be done in same chat or separate chat later). These stories can be updated anytime via UX-Design, Architecture decisions, or `correct-course` during implementation.

# BMM Solutioning Workflows (Phase 3)
**Reading Time:** ~8 minutes
## Overview
Phase 3 (Solutioning) workflows translate **what** to build (from Planning) into **how** to build it (technical design). This phase is **required for Levels 3-4** and **optional for Level 2** projects.
**Key principle:** Prevent agent conflicts by making architectural decisions explicit and documented before implementation begins.

## Overview
This document provides the detailed epic breakdown for {{project_name}}, expanding on the high-level epic list in the [PRD](./PRD.md).
This document provides the complete epic and story breakdown for {{project_name}}, decomposing the requirements from the [PRD](./PRD.md) into implementable stories.
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

<step n="1" goal="Form epics from natural groupings">

<step n="2" goal="Propose epic structure from natural groupings">
<action>Analyze requirements and identify natural epic boundaries
INTENT: Find natural boundaries that make sense for THIS product
INTENT: Find organic groupings that make sense for THIS product
Look at the requirements and find patterns:
Look for natural patterns:
- Features that work together
- Features that work together cohesively
- User journeys that connect
- Technical systems that relate
- Business capabilities that group
- Domain requirements that cluster (compliance, validation, etc.)
- Business capabilities that cluster
- Domain requirements that relate (compliance, validation, security)
- Technical systems that should be built together
Examples of natural epic formation:
Name epics based on VALUE, not technical layers:
- Auth features → "User Management" epic
- Payment features → "Monetization" epic
- Social features → "Community" epic
- Admin features → "Administration" epic
- Compliance requirements → "Regulatory Compliance" epic
- API endpoints → "API Infrastructure" epic
But let the product guide you - don't force standard patterns
- Good: "User Onboarding", "Content Discovery", "Compliance Framework"
- Avoid: "Database Layer", "API Endpoints", "Frontend"
Each epic should:
- Have a clear business goal
- Have clear business goal and user value
- Be independently valuable
- Contain 3-8 related features
- Be completable in 1-2 sprints
- Contain 3-8 related capabilities
- Be deliverable in cohesive phase
Name epics based on value, not technical components:
GOOD: "User Onboarding", "Content Discovery", "Team Collaboration"
NOT: "Database", "Frontend", "API"
For greenfield projects:
If domain considerations exist:
- First epic MUST establish foundation (project setup, core infrastructure, deployment pipeline)
- Foundation enables all subsequent work
- Create dedicated compliance/validation epics
- Note special expertise needed per epic
- Flag epics with regulatory dependencies
For complex domains:
Present epic groupings conversationally:
"Based on your requirements, I see these natural epic groupings:
- Consider dedicated compliance/regulatory epics
- Group validation and safety requirements logically
- Note expertise requirements
1. [Epic Name] - [Brief description]
2. [Epic Name] - [Brief description]
3. [Epic Name] - [Brief description]

INTENT: Create stories sized for single dev agent completion

For each epic, generate:
For each epic, decompose into stories that are:
- Epic title as `epic_title_{{N}}`
- Epic goal/value as `epic_goal_{{N}}`
- All stories as repeated pattern `story_title_{{N}}_{{M}}` for each story M
- Small enough for single context window
CRITICAL for Epic 1 (Foundation):
- Story 1.1 MUST be project setup/infrastructure initialization
- Sets up: repo structure, build system, deployment pipeline basics, core dependencies
- Creates foundation for all subsequent stories
- Note: Architecture workflow will flesh out technical details
Each story should follow BDD-style acceptance criteria:
**Story Pattern:**
As a [user type],
I want [specific capability],
So that [clear value/benefit].
**Acceptance Criteria using BDD:**
Given [precondition or initial state]
When [action or trigger]
Then [expected outcome]
And [additional criteria as needed]
**Prerequisites:** Only previous stories (never forward dependencies)
**Technical Notes:** Implementation guidance, affected components, compliance requirements
Ensure stories are:
- Vertically sliced (deliver complete functionality, not just one layer)
- Sequentially ordered (logical progression, no forward dependencies)
- Independently valuable when possible
- Small enough for single-session completion
- Clear enough for autonomous implementation
- Independent enough to develop in parallel when possible
- Specific enough to have clear acceptance criteria
GOOD story examples:
For each story in epic {{N}}, output variables following this pattern:
- "Create login API endpoint that accepts email/password and returns JWT"
- "Build user profile component with avatar upload to S3"
- "Add password reset email template and sending logic"
- "Implement rate limiting on auth endpoints (5 attempts per minute)"
- "Create HIPAA-compliant audit log for patient data access"
- "Build FDA 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signature component"
- story*title*{{N}}_1, story_title_{{N}}\_2, etc.
- Each containing: user story, BDD acceptance criteria, prerequisites, technical notes</action>
BAD story examples:
<template-output>epic*title*{{N}}</template-output>
<template-output>epic*goal*{{N}}</template-output>
- "Build complete authentication system" (too big)
- "Handle user management" (too vague)
- "Make it secure" (not specific)
- "Integrate everything" (requires multiple contexts)
<action>For each story M in epic {{N}}, generate story content</action>
<template-output>story*title*{{N}}\_{{M}}</template-output>
Story format:
"As a [user type], I want [specific feature], so that [clear value]"
Technical notes to include:
- Affected files/components if known
- Required endpoints/methods
- Data structures needed
- Specific validation rules
- Compliance requirements if applicable
- Dependencies on other stories
Domain-aware story creation:
- For healthcare: Include specific regulations per story
- For fintech: Note PCI/security requirements per story
- For govtech: Flag accessibility needs per story
- For aerospace: Include safety/validation requirements
Check each story:
- Can this be explained in <1000 words?
- Can one agent complete without another's output?
- Is the scope crystal clear?
- Are success criteria obvious?
- Are domain requirements specified?
If too big → split into smaller stories
If too vague → add specifics
If dependent → note the dependency clearly
If domain-critical → flag compliance needs</action>

Validate:
Consider dependencies:
TECHNICAL:
- All functional requirements from PRD are covered by stories
- Epic 1 establishes proper foundation
- All stories are vertically sliced
- No forward dependencies exist
- Story sizing is appropriate for single-session completion
- BDD acceptance criteria are clear and testable
- Domain/compliance requirements are properly distributed
- Sequencing enables incremental value delivery
- Authentication before protected features
- Data models before business logic
- Core features before enhancements
- API before frontend that uses it
Confirm with {user_name}:
DOMAIN:
- Epic structure makes sense
- Story breakdown is actionable
- Dependencies are clear
- BDD format provides clarity
- Ready for architecture and implementation phases</action>
- Compliance infrastructure before features
- Validation framework before clinical features
- Audit logging before financial transactions
- Safety systems before operational features
PRACTICAL:
- What gives visible progress early?
- What reduces risk soonest?
- What enables parallel work?
- What delivers value fastest?
Create implementation phases:
Phase 1 - Foundation:
- Core data models
- Authentication/authorization
- Basic infrastructure
- Essential APIs
- Compliance foundation (if domain requires)
Phase 2 - Core Features:
- MVP functionality
- Key user flows
- Basic UI/UX
- Critical integrations
- Domain validations (if applicable)
Phase 3 - Enhancement:
- Polish and refinement
- Additional features
- Performance optimization
- Extended functionality
- Advanced compliance features
Phase 4 - Growth:
- Analytics and monitoring
- Advanced features
- Scaling preparations
- Nice-to-have additions
For complex domains, add gates:
- "Gate: Security audit before payment processing"
- "Gate: Clinical validation before patient features"
- "Gate: Compliance review before launch"
Present the sequencing conversationally:
"Here's a smart implementation order:
**Phase 1 (Foundation) - Week 1-2:**
- Story 1.1: [Description]
- Story 1.2: [Description] (can parallel with 1.1)

## CRITICAL RULE: CommonMark Strict Compliance
## CRITICAL RULES
### Rule 1: CommonMark Strict Compliance
ALL documentation MUST follow CommonMark specification exactly. No exceptions.
### Rule 2: NO TIME ESTIMATES
NEVER document time estimates, durations, or completion times for any workflow, task, or activity. This includes:
- Workflow execution time (e.g., "30-60 min", "2-8 hours")
- Task duration estimates
- Reading time estimates
- Implementation time ranges
- Any temporal measurements
Time varies dramatically based on:
- Project complexity
- Team experience
- Tooling and environment
- Context switching
- Unforeseen blockers
**Instead:** Focus on workflow steps, dependencies, and outputs. Let users determine their own timelines.
### CommonMark Essentials

# Technical Documentation Standards for BMAD
**For Agent: Paige (Documentation Guide)**
**Purpose: Concise reference for documentation creation and review**
---
## CRITICAL RULE: CommonMark Strict Compliance
ALL documentation MUST follow CommonMark specification exactly. No exceptions.
### CommonMark Essentials
**Headers:**
- Use ATX-style ONLY: `#` `##` `###` (NOT Setext underlines)
- Single space after `#`: `# Title` (NOT `#Title`)
- No trailing `#`: `# Title` (NOT `# Title #`)
- Hierarchical order: Don't skip levels (h1→h2→h3, not h1→h3)
**Code Blocks:**
- Use fenced blocks with language identifier:
````markdown
```javascript
const example = 'code';
```
````
- NOT indented code blocks (ambiguous)
**Lists:**
- Consistent markers within list: all `-` or all `*` or all `+` (don't mix)
- Proper indentation for nested items (2 or 4 spaces, stay consistent)
- Blank line before/after list for clarity
**Links:**
- Inline: `[text](url)`
- Reference: `[text][ref]` then `[ref]: url` at bottom
- NO bare URLs without `<>` brackets
**Emphasis:**
- Italic: `*text*` or `_text_`
- Bold: `**text**` or `__text__`
- Consistent style within document
**Line Breaks:**
- Two spaces at end of line + newline, OR
- Blank line between paragraphs
- NO single line breaks (they're ignored)
---
## Mermaid Diagrams: Valid Syntax Required
**Critical Rules:**
1. Always specify diagram type first line
2. Use valid Mermaid v10+ syntax
3. Test syntax before outputting (mental validation)
4. Keep focused: 5-10 nodes ideal, max 15
**Diagram Type Selection:**
- **flowchart** - Process flows, decision trees, workflows
- **sequenceDiagram** - API interactions, message flows, time-based processes
- **classDiagram** - Object models, class relationships, system structure
- **erDiagram** - Database schemas, entity relationships
- **stateDiagram-v2** - State machines, lifecycle stages
- **gitGraph** - Branch strategies, version control flows
**Formatting:**
````markdown
```mermaid
flowchart TD
Start[Clear Label] --> Decision{Question?}
Decision -->|Yes| Action1[Do This]
Decision -->|No| Action2[Do That]
```
````
---
## Style Guide Principles (Distilled)
Apply in this hierarchy:
1. **Project-specific guide** (if exists) - always ask first
2. **BMAD conventions** (this document)
3. **Google Developer Docs style** (defaults below)
4. **CommonMark spec** (when in doubt)
### Core Writing Rules
**Task-Oriented Focus:**
- Write for user GOALS, not feature lists
- Start with WHY, then HOW
- Every doc answers: "What can I accomplish?"
**Clarity Principles:**
- Active voice: "Click the button" NOT "The button should be clicked"
- Present tense: "The function returns" NOT "The function will return"
- Direct language: "Use X for Y" NOT "X can be used for Y"
- Second person: "You configure" NOT "Users configure" or "One configures"
**Structure:**
- One idea per sentence
- One topic per paragraph
- Headings describe content accurately
- Examples follow explanations
**Accessibility:**
- Descriptive link text: "See the API reference" NOT "Click here"
- Alt text for diagrams: Describe what it shows
- Semantic heading hierarchy (don't skip levels)
- Tables have headers
---
## OpenAPI/API Documentation
**Required Elements:**
- Endpoint path and method
- Authentication requirements
- Request parameters (path, query, body) with types
- Request example (realistic, working)
- Response schema with types
- Response examples (success + common errors)
- Error codes and meanings
**Quality Standards:**
- OpenAPI 3.0+ specification compliance
- Complete schemas (no missing fields)
- Examples that actually work
- Clear error messages
- Security schemes documented
---
## Documentation Types: Quick Reference
**README:**
- What (overview), Why (purpose), How (quick start)
- Installation, Usage, Contributing, License
- Under 500 lines (link to detailed docs)
**API Reference:**
- Complete endpoint coverage
- Request/response examples
- Authentication details
- Error handling
- Rate limits if applicable
**User Guide:**
- Task-based sections (How to...)
- Step-by-step instructions
- Screenshots/diagrams where helpful
- Troubleshooting section
**Architecture Docs:**
- System overview diagram (Mermaid)
- Component descriptions
- Data flow
- Technology decisions (ADRs)
- Deployment architecture
**Developer Guide:**
- Setup/environment requirements
- Code organization
- Development workflow
- Testing approach
- Contribution guidelines
---
## Quality Checklist
Before finalizing ANY documentation:
- [ ] CommonMark compliant (no violations)
- [ ] Headers in proper hierarchy
- [ ] All code blocks have language tags
- [ ] Links work and have descriptive text
- [ ] Mermaid diagrams render correctly
- [ ] Active voice, present tense
- [ ] Task-oriented (answers "how do I...")
- [ ] Examples are concrete and working
- [ ] Accessibility standards met
- [ ] Spelling/grammar checked
- [ ] Reads clearly at target skill level
---
## BMAD-Specific Conventions
**File Organization:**
- `README.md` at root of each major component
- `docs/` folder for extensive documentation
- Workflow-specific docs in workflow folder
- Cross-references use relative paths
**Frontmatter:**
Use YAML frontmatter when appropriate:
```yaml
---
title: Document Title
description: Brief description
author: Author name
date: YYYY-MM-DD
---
```
**Metadata:**
- Always include last-updated date
- Version info for versioned docs
- Author attribution for accountability
---
**Remember: This is your foundation. Follow these rules consistently, and all documentation will be clear, accessible, and maintainable.**
