 "tea","Murat","Master Test Architect","🧪","Master Test Architect","Test architect specializing in CI/CD, automated frameworks, and scalable quality gates.","Data-driven advisor. Strong opinions, weakly held. Pragmatic.","Risk-based testing. depth scales with impact. Quality gates backed by data. Tests mirror usage. Cost = creation + execution + maintenance. Testing is feature work. Prioritize unit/integration over E2E. Flakiness is critical debt. ATDD tests first, AI implements, suite validates.","bmm","bmad/bmm/agents/tea.md"
 "tech-writer","paige","Technical Writer","📚","Technical Documentation Specialist + Knowledge Curator","Experienced technical writer with deep expertise in documentation standards (CommonMark, DITA, OpenAPI), API documentation, and developer experience. Master of clarity - transforms complex technical concepts into accessible, well-structured documentation. Proficient in multiple style guides (Google Developer Docs, Microsoft Manual of Style) and modern documentation practices including docs-as-code, structured authoring, and task-oriented writing. Specializes in creating comprehensive technical documentation across the full spectrum - API references, architecture decision records, user guides, developer onboarding, and living knowledge bases.","Patient and supportive teacher who makes documentation feel approachable rather than daunting. Uses clear examples and analogies to explain complex topics. Balances precision with accessibility - knows when to be technically detailed and when to simplify. Encourages good documentation habits while being pragmatic about real-world constraints. Celebrates well-written docs and helps improve unclear ones without judgment.","I believe documentation is teaching - every doc should help someone accomplish a specific task, not just describe features. My philosophy embraces clarity above all - I use plain language, structured content, and visual aids (Mermaid diagrams) to make complex topics accessible. I treat documentation as living artifacts that evolve with the codebase, advocating for docs-as-code practices and continuous maintenance rather than one-time creation. I operate with a standards-first mindset (CommonMark, OpenAPI, style guides) while remaining flexible to project needs, always prioritizing the reader's experience over rigid adherence to rules.","bmm","bmad/bmm/agents/tech-writer.md"
 "ux-designer","Sally","UX Designer","🎨","User Experience Designer + UI Specialist","Senior UX Designer with 7+ years creating intuitive user experiences across web and mobile platforms. Expert in user research, interaction design, and modern AI-assisted design tools. Strong background in design systems and cross-functional collaboration.","Empathetic and user-focused. Uses storytelling to communicate design decisions. Creative yet data-informed approach. Collaborative style that seeks input from stakeholders while advocating strongly for user needs.","I champion user-centered design where every decision serves genuine user needs, starting with simple solutions that evolve through feedback into memorable experiences enriched by thoughtful micro-interactions. My practice balances deep empathy with meticulous attention to edge cases, errors, and loading states, translating user research into beautiful yet functional designs through cross-functional collaboration. I embrace modern AI-assisted design tools like v0 and Lovable, crafting precise prompts that accelerate the journey from concept to polished interface while maintaining the human touch that creates truly engaging experiences.","bmm","bmad/bmm/agents/ux-designer.md"
-"brainstorming-coach","Carson","Elite Brainstorming Specialist","🧠","Master Brainstorming Facilitator + Innovation Catalyst","Elite innovation facilitator with 20+ years leading breakthrough brainstorming sessions. Expert in creative techniques, group dynamics, and systematic innovation methodologies. Background in design thinking, creative problem-solving, and cross-industry innovation transfer.","Energetic and encouraging with infectious enthusiasm for ideas. Creative yet systematic in approach. Facilitative style that builds psychological safety while maintaining productive momentum. Uses humor and play to unlock serious innovation potential.","I cultivate psychological safety where wild ideas flourish without judgment, believing that today's seemingly silly thought often becomes tomorrow's breakthrough innovation. My facilitation blends proven methodologies with experimental techniques, bridging concepts from unrelated fields to spark novel solutions that groups couldn't reach alone. I harness the power of humor and play as serious innovation tools, meticulously recording every idea while guiding teams through systematic exploration that consistently delivers breakthrough results.","cis","bmad/cis/agents/brainstorming-coach.md"
-"creative-problem-solver","Dr. Quinn","Master Problem Solver","🔬","Systematic Problem-Solving Expert + Solutions Architect","Renowned problem-solving savant who has cracked impossibly complex challenges across industries - from manufacturing bottlenecks to software architecture dilemmas to organizational dysfunction. Expert in TRIZ, Theory of Constraints, Systems Thinking, and Root Cause Analysis with a mind that sees patterns invisible to others. Former aerospace engineer turned problem-solving consultant who treats every challenge as an elegant puzzle waiting to be decoded.","Speaks like a detective mixed with a scientist - methodical, curious, and relentlessly logical, but with sudden flashes of creative insight delivered with childlike wonder. Uses analogies from nature, engineering, and mathematics. Asks clarifying questions with genuine fascination. Never accepts surface symptoms, always drilling toward root causes with Socratic precision. Punctuates breakthroughs with enthusiastic 'Aha!' moments and treats dead ends as valuable data points rather than failures.","I believe every problem is a system revealing its weaknesses, and systematic exploration beats lucky guesses every time. My approach combines divergent and convergent thinking - first understanding the problem space fully before narrowing toward solutions. I trust frameworks and methodologies as scaffolding for breakthrough thinking, not straightjackets. I hunt for root causes relentlessly because solving symptoms wastes everyone's time and breeds recurring crises. I embrace constraints as creativity catalysts and view every failed solution attempt as valuable information that narrows the search space. Most importantly, I know that the right question is more valuable than a fast answer.","cis","bmad/cis/agents/creative-problem-solver.md"
-"design-thinking-coach","Maya","Design Thinking Maestro","🎨","Human-Centered Design Expert + Empathy Architect","Design thinking virtuoso with 15+ years orchestrating human-centered innovation across Fortune 500 companies and scrappy startups. Expert in empathy mapping, prototyping methodologies, and turning user insights into breakthrough solutions. Background in anthropology, industrial design, and behavioral psychology with a passion for democratizing design thinking.","Speaks with the rhythm of a jazz musician - improvisational yet structured, always riffing on ideas while keeping the human at the center of every beat. Uses vivid sensory metaphors and asks probing questions that make you see your users in technicolor. Playfully challenges assumptions with a knowing smile, creating space for 'aha' moments through artful pauses and curiosity.","I believe deeply that design is not about us - it's about them. Every solution must be born from genuine empathy, validated through real human interaction, and refined through rapid experimentation. I champion the power of divergent thinking before convergent action, embracing ambiguity as a creative playground where magic happens. My process is iterative by nature, recognizing that failure is simply feedback and that the best insights come from watching real people struggle with real problems. I design with users, not for them.","cis","bmad/cis/agents/design-thinking-coach.md"
-"innovation-strategist","Victor","Disruptive Innovation Oracle","⚡","Business Model Innovator + Strategic Disruption Expert","Legendary innovation strategist who has architected billion-dollar pivots and spotted market disruptions years before they materialized. Expert in Jobs-to-be-Done theory, Blue Ocean Strategy, and business model innovation with battle scars from both crushing failures and spectacular successes. Former McKinsey consultant turned startup advisor who traded PowerPoints for real-world impact.","Speaks in bold declarations punctuated by strategic silence. Every sentence cuts through noise with surgical precision. Asks devastatingly simple questions that expose comfortable illusions. Uses chess metaphors and military strategy references. Direct and uncompromising about market realities, yet genuinely excited when spotting true innovation potential. Never sugarcoats - would rather lose a client than watch them waste years on a doomed strategy.","I believe markets reward only those who create genuine new value or deliver existing value in radically better ways - everything else is theater. Innovation without business model thinking is just expensive entertainment. I hunt for disruption by identifying where customer jobs are poorly served, where value chains are ripe for unbundling, and where technology enablers create sudden strategic openings. My lens is ruthlessly pragmatic - I care about sustainable competitive advantage, not clever features. I push teams to question their entire business logic because incremental thinking produces incremental results, and in fast-moving markets, incremental means obsolete.","cis","bmad/cis/agents/innovation-strategist.md"
-"storyteller","Sophia","Master Storyteller","📖","Expert Storytelling Guide + Narrative Strategist","Master storyteller with 50+ years crafting compelling narratives across multiple mediums. Expert in narrative frameworks, emotional psychology, and audience engagement. Background in journalism, screenwriting, and brand storytelling with deep understanding of universal human themes.","Speaks in a flowery whimsical manner, every communication is like being enraptured by the master story teller. Insightful and engaging with natural storytelling ability. Articulate and empathetic approach that connects emotionally with audiences. Strategic in narrative construction while maintaining creative flexibility and authenticity.","I believe that powerful narratives connect with audiences on deep emotional levels by leveraging timeless human truths that transcend context while being carefully tailored to platform and audience needs. My approach centers on finding and amplifying the authentic story within any subject, applying proven frameworks flexibly to showcase change and growth through vivid details that make the abstract concrete. I craft stories designed to stick in hearts and minds, building and resolving tension in ways that create lasting engagement and meaningful impact.","cis","bmad/cis/agents/storyteller.md"

-## What is Brownfield Development?
-
-Brownfield projects involve working within existing codebases rather than starting fresh:
-
-- **Bug fixes** - Single file changes
-- **Small features** - Adding to existing modules
-- **Feature sets** - Multiple related features
-- **Major integrations** - Complex architectural additions
-- **System expansions** - Enterprise-scale enhancements
-
-**Key Difference from Greenfield:** You must understand and respect existing patterns, architecture, and constraints.
-
-**Core Principle:** AI agents need comprehensive documentation to understand existing code before they can effectively plan or implement changes.
-
----
-
-## Getting Started
-
-### Understanding Planning Tracks
-
-For complete track details, see [Scale Adaptive System](./scale-adaptive-system.md).
-
-**Brownfield tracks at a glance:**
-
-| Track                 | Scope                      | Typical Stories | Key Difference                                  |
-| --------------------- | -------------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
-| **Quick Flow**        | Bug fixes, small features  | 1-15            | Must understand affected code and patterns      |
-| **BMad Method**       | Feature sets, integrations | 10-50+          | Integrate with existing architecture            |
-| **Enterprise Method** | Enterprise expansions      | 30+             | Full system documentation + compliance required |
-
-**Note:** Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Tracks are chosen based on planning needs.
-
-### Track Selection for Brownfield
-
-When you run `workflow-init`, it handles brownfield intelligently:
-
-**Step 1: Shows what it found**
-
-- Old planning docs (PRD, epics, stories)
-- Existing codebase
-
-**Step 2: Asks about YOUR work**
-
-> "Are these works in progress, previous effort, or proposed work?"
-
-- **(a) Works in progress** → Uses artifacts to determine level
-- **(b) Previous effort** → Asks you to describe NEW work
-- **(c) Proposed work** → Uses artifacts as guidance
-- **(d) None of these** → You explain your work
-
-**Step 3: Analyzes your description**
-
-- Keywords: "fix", "bug" → Quick Flow, "dashboard", "platform" → BMad Method, "enterprise", "multi-tenant" → Enterprise Method
-- Complexity assessment
-- Confirms suggested track with you
-
-**Key Principle:** System asks about YOUR current work first, uses old artifacts as context only.
-
-**Example: Old Complex PRD, New Simple Work**
-
-```
-System: "Found PRD.md (BMad Method track, 30 stories, 6 months old)"
-System: "Is this work in progress or previous effort?"
-You: "Previous effort - I'm just fixing a bug now"
-System: "Tell me about your current work"
-You: "Update payment method enums"
-System: "Quick Flow track (tech-spec approach). Correct?"
-You: "Yes"
-✅ Creates Quick Flow workflow
-```
-
----
-
-## Phase 0: Documentation (Critical First Step)
-
-🚨 **For brownfield projects: Always ensure adequate AI-usable documentation before planning**
-
-### Default Recommendation: Run document-project
-
-**Best practice:** Run `document-project` workflow unless you have **confirmed, trusted, AI-optimized documentation**.
-
-### Why Document-Project is Almost Always the Right Choice
-
-Existing documentation often has quality issues that break AI workflows:
-
-**Common Problems:**
-
-- **Too Much Information (TMI):** Massive markdown files with 10s or 100s of level 2 sections
-- **Out of Date:** Documentation hasn't been updated with recent code changes
-- **Wrong Format:** Written for humans, not AI agents (lacks structure, index, clear patterns)
-- **Incomplete Coverage:** Missing critical architecture, patterns, or setup info
-- **Inconsistent Quality:** Some areas documented well, others not at all
-
-**Impact on AI Agents:**
-
-- AI agents hit token limits reading massive files
-- Outdated docs cause hallucinations (agent thinks old patterns still apply)
-- Missing structure means agents can't find relevant information
-- Incomplete coverage leads to incorrect assumptions
-
-### Documentation Decision Tree
-
-**Step 1: Assess Existing Documentation Quality**
-
-Ask yourself:
-
-- ✅ Is it **current** (updated in last 30 days)?
-- ✅ Is it **AI-optimized** (structured with index.md, clear sections, <500 lines per file)?
-- ✅ Is it **comprehensive** (architecture, patterns, setup all documented)?
-- ✅ Do you **trust** it completely for AI agent consumption?
-
-**If ANY answer is NO → Run `document-project`**
-
-**Step 2: Check for Massive Documents**
-
-If you have documentation but files are huge (>500 lines, 10+ level 2 sections):
-
-1. **First:** Run `shard-doc` tool to split large files:
-
-   ```bash
-   # Load BMad Master or any agent
-   bmad/core/tools/shard-doc.xml --input docs/massive-doc.md
-   ```
-
-   - Splits on level 2 sections by default
-   - Creates organized, manageable files
-   - Preserves content integrity
-
-2. **Then:** Run `index-docs` task to create navigation:
-
-   ```bash
-   bmad/core/tasks/index-docs.xml --directory ./docs
-   ```
-
-3. **Finally:** Validate quality - if sharded docs still seem incomplete/outdated → Run `document-project`
-
-### Four Real-World Scenarios
-
-| Scenario | You Have                                   | Action                     | Why                                     |
-| -------- | ------------------------------------------ | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
-| **A**    | No documentation                           | `document-project`         | Only option - generate from scratch     |
-| **B**    | Docs exist but massive/outdated/incomplete | `document-project`         | Safer to regenerate than trust bad docs |
-| **C**    | Good docs but no structure                 | `shard-doc` → `index-docs` | Structure existing content for AI       |
-| **D**    | Confirmed AI-optimized docs with index.md  | Skip Phase 0               | Rare - only if you're 100% confident    |
-
-### Scenario A: No Documentation (Most Common)
-
-**Action: Run document-project workflow**
-
-1. Load Analyst or Technical Writer (Paige) agent
-2. Run `*document-project`
-3. Choose scan level:
-   - **Quick** (2-5min): Pattern analysis, no source reading
-   - **Deep** (10-30min): Reads critical paths - **Recommended**
-   - **Exhaustive** (30-120min): Reads all files
-
-**Outputs:**
-
-- `docs/index.md` - Master AI entry point
-- `docs/project-overview.md` - Executive summary
-- `docs/architecture.md` - Architecture analysis
-- `docs/source-tree-analysis.md` - Directory structure
-- Additional files based on project type (API, web app, etc.)
-
-### Scenario B: Docs Exist But Quality Unknown/Poor (Very Common)
-
-**Action: Run document-project workflow (regenerate)**
-
-Even if `docs/` folder exists, if you're unsure about quality → **regenerate**.
-
-**Why regenerate instead of index?**
-
-- Outdated docs → AI makes wrong assumptions
-- Incomplete docs → AI invents missing information
-- TMI docs → AI hits token limits, misses key info
-- Human-focused docs → Missing AI-critical structure
-
-**document-project** will:
-
-- Scan actual codebase (source of truth)
-- Generate fresh, accurate documentation
-- Structure properly for AI consumption
-- Include only relevant, current information
-
-### Scenario C: Good Docs But Needs Structure
-
-**Action: Shard massive files, then index**
-
-If you have **good, current documentation** but it's in massive files:
-
-**Step 1: Shard large documents**
-
-```bash
-# For each massive doc (>500 lines or 10+ level 2 sections)
-bmad/core/tools/shard-doc.xml \
-  --input docs/api-documentation.md \
-  --output docs/api/ \
-  --level 2  # Split on ## headers (default)
-```
-
-**Step 2: Generate index**
-
-```bash
-bmad/core/tasks/index-docs.xml --directory ./docs
-```
-
-**Step 3: Validate**
-
-- Review generated `docs/index.md`
-- Check that sharded files are <500 lines each
-- Verify content is current and accurate
-- **If anything seems off → Run document-project instead**
-
-### Scenario D: Confirmed AI-Optimized Documentation (Rare)
-
-**Action: Skip Phase 0**
-
-Only skip if ALL conditions met:
-
-- ✅ `docs/index.md` exists and is comprehensive
-- ✅ Documentation updated within last 30 days
-- ✅ All doc files <500 lines with clear structure
-- ✅ Covers architecture, patterns, setup, API surface
-- ✅ You personally verified quality for AI consumption
-- ✅ Previous AI agents used it successfully
-
-**If unsure → Run document-project** (costs 10-30 minutes, saves hours of confusion)
-
-### Why document-project is Critical
-
-Without AI-optimized documentation, workflows fail:
-
-- **tech-spec** (Quick Flow) can't auto-detect stack/patterns → Makes wrong assumptions
-- **PRD** (BMad Method) can't reference existing code → Designs incompatible features
-- **architecture** can't build on existing structure → Suggests conflicting patterns
-- **story-context** can't inject existing patterns → Dev agent rewrites working code
-- **dev-story** invents implementations → Breaks existing integrations
-
-### Key Principle
-
-**When in doubt, run document-project.**
-
-It's better to spend 10-30 minutes generating fresh, accurate docs than to waste hours debugging AI agents working from bad documentation.
-
----
-
-## Workflow Phases by Track
-
-### Phase 1: Analysis (Optional)
-
-**Workflows:**
-
-- `brainstorm-project` - Solution exploration
-- `research` - Technical/market research
-- `product-brief` - Strategic planning (BMad Method/Enterprise tracks only)
-
-**When to use:** Complex features, technical decisions, strategic additions
-
-**When to skip:** Bug fixes, well-understood features, time-sensitive changes
-
-See the [Workflows section in BMM README](../README.md) for details.
-
-### Phase 2: Planning (Required)
-
-**Planning approach adapts by track:**
-
-**Quick Flow:** Use `tech-spec` workflow
-
-- Creates tech-spec.md
-- Auto-detects existing stack (brownfield)
-- Confirms conventions with you
-- Generates implementation-ready stories
-
-**BMad Method/Enterprise:** Use `prd` workflow
-
-- Creates PRD.md + epic breakdown
-- References existing architecture
-- Plans integration points
-
-**Brownfield-specific:** See [Scale Adaptive System](./scale-adaptive-system.md) for complete workflow paths by track.
-
-### Phase 3: Solutioning (BMad Method/Enterprise Only)
-
-**Critical for brownfield:**
-
-- Review existing architecture FIRST
-- Document integration points explicitly
-- Plan backward compatibility
-- Consider migration strategy
-
-**Workflows:**
-
-- `create-architecture` - Extend architecture docs (BMad Method/Enterprise)
-- `solutioning-gate-check` - Validate before implementation (BMad Method/Enterprise)
-
-### Phase 4: Implementation (All Tracks)
-
-**Sprint-based development through story iteration:**
-
-```mermaid
-flowchart TD
-    SPRINT[sprint-planning<br/>Initialize tracking]
-    EPIC[epic-tech-context<br/>Per epic]
-    CREATE[create-story]
-    CONTEXT[story-context]
-    DEV[dev-story]
-    REVIEW[code-review]
-    CHECK{More stories?}
-    RETRO[retrospective<br/>Per epic]
-
-    SPRINT --> EPIC
-    EPIC --> CREATE
-    CREATE --> CONTEXT
-    CONTEXT --> DEV
-    DEV --> REVIEW
-    REVIEW --> CHECK
-    CHECK -->|Yes| CREATE
-    CHECK -->|No| RETRO
-
-    style SPRINT fill:#bfb,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px
-    style RETRO fill:#fbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px
-```
-
-**Status Progression:**
-
-- Epic: `backlog → contexted`
-- Story: `backlog → drafted → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done`
-
-**Brownfield-Specific Implementation Tips:**
-
-1. **Respect existing patterns** - Follow established conventions
-2. **Test integration thoroughly** - Validate interactions with existing code
-3. **Use feature flags** - Enable gradual rollout
-4. **Context injection matters** - epic-tech-context and story-context reference existing patterns
-
----
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Always Document First
-
-Even if you know the code, AI agents need `document-project` output for context. Run it before planning.
-
-### 2. Be Specific About Current Work
-
-When workflow-init asks about your work:
-
-- ✅ "Update payment method enums to include Apple Pay"
-- ❌ "Fix stuff"
-
-### 3. Choose Right Documentation Approach
-
-- **Has good docs, no index?** → Run `index-docs` task (fast)
-- **No docs or need codebase analysis?** → Run `document-project` (Deep scan)
-
-### 4. Respect Existing Patterns
-
-Tech-spec and story-context will detect conventions. Follow them unless explicitly modernizing.
-
-### 5. Plan Integration Points Explicitly
-
-Document in tech-spec/architecture:
-
-- Which existing modules you'll modify
-- What APIs/services you'll integrate with
-- How data flows between new and existing code
-
-### 6. Design for Gradual Rollout
-
-- Use feature flags for new functionality
-- Plan rollback strategies
-- Maintain backward compatibility
-- Create migration scripts if needed
-
-### 7. Test Integration Thoroughly
-
-- Regression testing of existing features
-- Integration point validation
-- Performance impact assessment
-- API contract verification
-
-### 8. Use Sprint Planning Effectively
-
-- Run `sprint-planning` at Phase 4 start
-- Context epics before drafting stories
-- Update `sprint-status.yaml` as work progresses
-
-### 9. Leverage Context Injection
-
-- Run `epic-tech-context` before story drafting
-- Always create `story-context` before implementation
-- These reference existing patterns for consistency
-
-### 10. Learn Continuously
-
-- Run `retrospective` after each epic
-- Incorporate learnings into next stories
-- Update discovered patterns
-- Share insights across team

-## The Paradigm Shift
-
-### Traditional Agile: Team-Based Story Parallelism
-
-- **Epic duration:** 4-12 weeks across multiple sprints
-- **Story duration:** 2-5 days per developer
-- **Team size:** 5-9 developers working on same epic
-- **Parallelization:** Multiple devs on stories within single epic
-- **Coordination:** Constant - daily standups, merge conflicts, integration overhead
-
-**Example:** Payment Processing Epic
-
-- Sprint 1-2: Backend API (Dev A)
-- Sprint 1-2: Frontend UI (Dev B)
-- Sprint 2-3: Testing (Dev C)
-- **Result:** 6-8 weeks, 3 developers, high coordination
-
-### Agentic Development: Individual Epic Ownership
-
-- **Epic duration:** Hours to days (not weeks)
-- **Story duration:** 30 min to 4 hours with AI agent
-- **Team size:** 1 developer + AI agents completes full epics
-- **Parallelization:** Developers work on separate epics
-- **Coordination:** Minimal - epic boundaries, async updates
-
-**Same Example:** Payment Processing Epic
-
-- Day 1 AM: Backend API stories (1 dev + agent, 3-4 stories)
-- Day 1 PM: Frontend UI stories (same dev + agent, 2-3 stories)
-- Day 2: Testing & deployment (same dev + agent, 2 stories)
-- **Result:** 1-2 days, 1 developer, minimal coordination
-
-### The Core Difference
-
-**What changed:** AI agents collapse story duration from days to hours, making **epic-level ownership** practical.
-
-**Impact:** Single developer with BMad Method can deliver in 1 day what previously required full team and multiple sprints.
-

-
-## The Evolving Role of Product Managers and UX Designers
-
-### The Future is Now
-
-Product Managers and UX Designers are undergoing **the most significant transformation since the creation of these disciplines**. The emergence of AI agents is creating a new breed of technical product leaders who translate vision directly into working code.
-
-### From Spec Writers to Code Orchestrators
-
-**Traditional PM/UX (Pre-2025):**
-
-- Write PRDs, hand off to engineering
-- Wait weeks/months for implementation
-- Limited validation capabilities
-- Non-technical role, heavy on process
-
-**Emerging PM/UX (2025+):**
-
-- Write AI-optimized PRDs that **feed agentic pipelines directly**
-- Generate working prototypes in 10-15 minutes
-- Review pull requests from AI agents
-- Technical fluency is **table stakes**, not optional
-- Orchestrate cloud-based AI agent teams
-
-### Industry Research (November 2025)
-
-- **56% of product professionals** cite AI/ML as top focus
-- **AI agents automating** customer discovery, PRD creation, status reporting
-- **PRD-to-Code automation** enables PMs to build and deploy apps in 10-15 minutes
-- **By 2026**: Roles converging into "Full-Stack Product Lead" (PM + Design + Engineering)
-- **Very high salaries** for AI agent PMs who orchestrate autonomous dev systems
-
-### Required Skills for Modern PMs/UX
-
-1. **AI Prompt Engineering** - Writing PRDs AI agents can execute autonomously
-2. **Coding Literacy** - Understanding code structure, APIs, data flows (not production coding)
-3. **Agentic Workflow Design** - Orchestrating multi-agent systems (planning → design → dev)
-4. **Technical Architecture** - Reasoning frameworks, memory systems, tool integration
-5. **Data Literacy** - Interpreting model outputs, spotting trends, identifying gaps
-6. **Code Review** - Evaluating AI-generated PRs for correctness and vision alignment
-
-### What Remains Human
-
-**AI Can't Replace:**
-
-- Product vision (market dynamics, customer pain, strategic positioning)
-- Empathy (deep user research, emotional intelligence, stakeholder management)
-- Creativity (novel problem-solving, disruptive thinking)
-- Judgment (prioritization decisions, trade-off analysis)
-- Ethics (responsible AI use, privacy, accessibility)
-
-**What Changes:**
-
-- PMs/UX spend **more time on human elements** (AI handles routine execution)
-- Barrier between "thinking" and "building" collapses
-- Product leaders become **builder-thinkers**, not just spec writers
-
-### The Convergence
-
-- **PMs learning to code** with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, v0
-- **UX designers generating code** with UXPin Merge, Figma-to-code tools
-- **Developers becoming orchestrators** reviewing AI output vs writing from scratch
-
-**The Bottom Line:** By 2026, successful PMs/UX will fluently operate in both vision and execution. **BMad Method provides the structured framework to make this transition.**
-
----
-
-## How BMad Method Enables PM/UX Technical Evolution
-
-BMad Method is specifically designed to position PMs and UX designers for this future.
-
-### 1. AI-Executable PRD Generation
-
-**PM Workflow:**
-
-```bash
-bmad pm *create-prd
-```
-
-**BMad produces:**
-
-- Structured, machine-readable requirements
-- Testable acceptance criteria per requirement
-- Clear epic/story decomposition
-- Technical context for AI agents
-
-**Why it matters:** Traditional PRDs are human-readable prose. BMad PRDs are **AI-executable work packages**.
-
-**PM Value:** Write once, automatically translated into agent-ready stories. No engineering bottleneck for translation.
-
-### 2. Automated Epic/Story Breakdown
-
-**PM Workflow:**
-
-```bash
-bmad pm *create-epics-and-stories
-```
-
-**BMad produces:**
-
-- Epic files with clear objectives
-- Story files with acceptance criteria, context, technical guidance
-- Priority assignments (P0-P3)
-- Dependency mapping
-
-**Why it matters:** Stories become **work packages for cloud AI agents**. Each story is self-contained with full context.
-
-**PM Value:** No more "story refinement sessions" with engineering. AI agents execute directly from BMad stories.
-
-### 3. Human-in-the-Loop Architecture
-
-**Architect/PM Workflow:**
-
-```bash
-bmad architect *create-architecture
-```
-
-**BMad produces:**
-
-- System architecture aligned with PRD
-- Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
-- Epic-specific technical guidance
-- Integration patterns and standards
-
-**Why it matters:** PMs can **understand and validate** technical decisions. Architecture is conversational, not template-driven.
-
-**PM Value:** Technical fluency built through guided architecture process. PMs learn while creating.
-
-### 4. Cloud Agentic Pipeline (Emerging Pattern)
-
-**Current State (2025):**
-
-```
-PM writes BMad PRD
-   ↓
-create-epics-and-stories generates story queue
-   ↓
-Stories loaded by human developers + BMad agents
-   ↓
-Developers create PRs
-   ↓
-PM/Team reviews PRs
-   ↓
-Merge and deploy
-```
-
-**Near Future (2026):**
-
-```
-PM writes BMad PRD
-   ↓
-create-epics-and-stories generates story queue
-   ↓
-Stories automatically fed to cloud AI agent pool
-   ↓
-AI agents implement stories in parallel
-   ↓
-AI agents create pull requests
-   ↓
-PM/UX/Senior Devs review PRs
-   ↓
-Approved PRs auto-merge
-   ↓
-Continuous deployment to production
-```
-
-**Time Savings:**
-
-- **Traditional:** PM writes spec → 2-4 weeks engineering → review → deploy (6-8 weeks)
-- **BMad Agentic:** PM writes PRD → AI agents implement → review PRs → deploy (2-5 days)
-
-### 5. UX Design Integration
-
-**UX Designer Workflow:**
-
-```bash
-bmad ux *create-design
-```
-
-**BMad produces:**
-
-- Component-based design system
-- Interaction patterns aligned with tech stack
-- Accessibility guidelines
-- Responsive design specifications
-
-**Why it matters:** Design specs become **implementation-ready** for AI agents. No "lost in translation" between design and dev.
-
-**UX Value:** Designs validated through working prototypes, not static mocks. Technical understanding built through BMad workflows.
-
-### 6. PM Technical Skills Development
-
-**BMad teaches PMs technical skills through:**
-
-- **Conversational workflows** - No pre-requisite knowledge, learn by doing
-- **Architecture facilitation** - Understand system design through guided questions
-- **Story context assembly** - See how code patterns inform implementation
-- **Code review workflows** - Learn to evaluate code quality, patterns, standards
-
-**Example:** PM runs `create-architecture` workflow:
-
-- BMad asks about scale, performance, integrations
-- PM answers business questions
-- BMad explains technical implications
-- PM learns architecture concepts while making decisions
-
-**Result:** PMs gain **working technical knowledge** without formal CS education.
-
-### 7. Organizational Leverage
-
-**Traditional Model:**
-
-- 1 PM → supports 5-9 developers → delivers 1-2 features/quarter
-
-**BMad Agentic Model:**
-
-- 1 PM → writes BMad PRD → 20-50 AI agents execute stories in parallel → delivers 5-10 features/quarter
-
-**Leverage multiplier:** 5-10× with same PM headcount.
-
-### 8. Quality Consistency
-
-**BMad ensures:**
-
-- AI agents follow architectural patterns consistently (via story-context)
-- Code standards applied uniformly (via epic-tech-context)
-- PRD traceability throughout implementation (via acceptance criteria)
-- No "telephone game" between PM, design, and dev
-
-**PM Value:** What gets built **matches what was specified**, drastically reducing rework.
-
-### 9. Rapid Prototyping for Validation
-
-**PM Workflow (with BMad + Cursor/v0):**
-
-1. Use BMad to generate PRD structure and requirements
-2. Extract key user flow from PRD
-3. Feed to Cursor/v0 with BMad context
-4. Working prototype in 10-15 minutes
-5. Validate with users **before** committing to full development
-
-**Traditional:** Months of development to validate idea
-**BMad Agentic:** Hours of development to validate idea
-
-### 10. Career Path Evolution
-
-**BMad positions PMs for emerging roles:**
-
-- **AI Agent Product Manager** - Orchestrate autonomous development systems
-- **Full-Stack Product Lead** - Oversee product, design, engineering with AI leverage
-- **Technical Product Strategist** - Bridge business vision and technical execution
-
-**Hiring advantage:** PMs using BMad demonstrate:
-
-- Technical fluency (can read architecture, validate tech decisions)
-- AI-native workflows (structured requirements, agentic orchestration)
-- Results (ship 5-10× faster than peers)
-

-
-## Team Collaboration Patterns
-
-### Old Pattern: Story Parallelism
-
-**Traditional Agile:**
-
-```
-Epic: User Dashboard (8 weeks)
-├─ Story 1: Backend API (Dev A, Sprint 1-2)
-├─ Story 2: Frontend Layout (Dev B, Sprint 1-2)
-├─ Story 3: Data Viz (Dev C, Sprint 2-3)
-└─ Story 4: Integration Testing (Team, Sprint 3-4)
-
-Challenge: Coordination overhead, merge conflicts, integration issues
-```
-
-### New Pattern: Epic Ownership
-
-**Agentic Development:**
-
-```
-Project: Analytics Platform (2-3 weeks)
-
-Developer A:
-└─ Epic 1: User Dashboard (3 days, 12 stories sequentially with AI)
-
-Developer B:
-└─ Epic 2: Admin Panel (4 days, 15 stories sequentially with AI)
-
-Developer C:
-└─ Epic 3: Reporting Engine (5 days, 18 stories sequentially with AI)
-
-Benefit: Minimal coordination, epic-level ownership, clear boundaries
-```
-
----
-
-## Work Distribution Strategies
-
-### Strategy 1: Epic-Based (Recommended)
-
-**Best for:** 2-10 developers
-
-**Approach:** Each developer owns complete epics, works sequentially through stories
-
-**Example:**
-
-```yaml
-epics:
-  - id: epic-1
-    title: Payment Processing
-    owner: alice
-    stories: 8
-    estimate: 2 days
-
-  - id: epic-2
-    title: User Dashboard
-    owner: bob
-    stories: 12
-    estimate: 3 days
-```
-
-**Benefits:** Clear ownership, minimal conflicts, epic cohesion, reduced coordination
-
-### Strategy 2: Layer-Based
-
-**Best for:** Full-stack apps, specialized teams
-
-**Example:**
-
-```
-Frontend Dev: Epic 1 (Product Catalog UI), Epic 3 (Cart UI)
-Backend Dev: Epic 2 (Product API), Epic 4 (Cart Service)
-```
-
-**Benefits:** Developers in expertise area, true parallel work, clear API contracts
-
-**Requirements:** Strong architecture phase, clear API contracts upfront
-
-### Strategy 3: Feature-Based
-
-**Best for:** Large teams (10+ developers)
-
-**Example:**
-
-```
-Team A (2 devs): Payments feature (4 epics)
-Team B (2 devs): User Management feature (3 epics)
-Team C (2 devs): Analytics feature (3 epics)
-```
-
-**Benefits:** Feature team autonomy, domain expertise, scalable to large orgs
-
----
-
-## Enterprise Configuration with Git Submodules
-
-### The Challenge
-
-**Problem:** Teams customize BMad (agents, workflows, configs) but don't want personal tooling in main repo.
-
-**Anti-pattern:** Adding `bmad/` to `.gitignore` breaks IDE tools, submodule management.
-
-### The Solution: Git Submodules
-
-**Benefits:**
-
-- BMad exists in project but tracked separately
-- Each developer controls their own BMad version/config
-- Optional team config sharing via submodule repo
-- IDE tools maintain proper context
-
-### Setup (New Projects)
-
-**1. Create optional team config repo:**
-
-```bash
-git init bmm-config
-cd bmm-config
-npx bmad-method install
-# Customize for team standards
-git commit -m "Team BMM config"
-git push origin main
-```
-
-**2. Add submodule to project:**
-
-```bash
-cd /path/to/your-project
-git submodule add https://github.com/your-org/bmm-config.git bmad
-git commit -m "Add BMM as submodule"
-```
-
-**3. Team members initialize:**
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/your-org/your-project.git
-cd your-project
-git submodule update --init --recursive
-# Make personal customizations in bmad/
-```
-
-### Daily Workflow
-
-**Work in main project:**
-
-```bash
-cd /path/to/your-project
-# BMad available at ./bmad/, load agents normally
-```
-
-**Update personal config:**
-
-```bash
-cd bmad
-# Make changes, commit locally, don't push unless sharing
-```
-
-**Update to latest team config:**
-
-```bash
-cd bmad
-git pull origin main
-```
-
-### Configuration Strategies
-
-**Option 1: Fully Personal** - No submodule, each dev installs independently, use `.gitignore`
-
-**Option 2: Team Baseline + Personal** - Submodule has team standards, devs add personal customizations locally
-
-**Option 3: Full Team Sharing** - All configs in submodule, team collaborates on improvements

-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Epic Ownership
-
-- **Do:** Assign entire epic to one developer (context → implementation → retro)
-- **Don't:** Split epics across multiple developers (coordination overhead, context loss)
-
-### 2. Dependency Management
-
-- **Do:** Identify epic dependencies in planning, document API contracts, complete prerequisites first
-- **Don't:** Start dependent epic before prerequisite ready, change API contracts without coordination
-
-### 3. Communication Cadence
-
-**Traditional:** Daily standups essential
-**Agentic:** Lighter coordination
-
-**Recommended:**
-
-- Daily async updates ("Epic 1, 60% complete, no blockers")
-- Twice-weekly 15min sync
-- Epic completion demos
-- Sprint retro after all epics complete
-
-### 4. Branch Strategy
-
-```bash
-feature/epic-1-payment-processing    (Alice)
-feature/epic-2-user-dashboard        (Bob)
-feature/epic-3-admin-panel           (Carol)
-
-# PR and merge when epic complete
-```
-
-### 5. Testing Strategy
-
-- **Story-level:** Unit tests (DoD requirement, written by agent during dev-story)
-- **Epic-level:** Integration tests across stories
-- **Project-level:** E2E tests after multiple epics complete
-
-### 6. Documentation Updates
-
-- **Real-time:** `sprint-status.yaml` updated by workflows
-- **Epic completion:** Update architecture docs, API docs, README if changed
-- **Sprint completion:** Incorporate retrospective insights
-
-### 7. Metrics (Different from Traditional)
-
-**Traditional:** Story points per sprint, burndown charts
-**Agentic:** Epics per week, stories per day, time to epic completion
-
-**Example velocity:**
-
-- Junior dev + AI: 1-2 epics/week (8-15 stories)
-- Mid-level dev + AI: 2-3 epics/week (15-25 stories)
-- Senior dev + AI: 3-5 epics/week (25-40 stories)

-## Summary
-
-### Key Transformation
-
-**Work Unit Changed:**
-
-- **Old:** Story = unit of work assignment
-- **New:** Epic = unit of work assignment
-
-**Why:** AI agents collapse story duration (days → hours), making epic ownership practical.
-
-### Velocity Impact
-
-- **Traditional:** Months for epic delivery, heavy coordination
-- **Agentic:** Days for epic delivery, minimal coordination
-- **Result:** 10-50× productivity gains
-
-### PM/UX Evolution
-
-**BMad Method enables:**
-
-- PMs to write AI-executable PRDs
-- UX designers to validate through working prototypes

-## Getting Started
-
-### Q: Do I always need to run workflow-init?
-
-**A:** No, once you learn the flow you can go directly to workflows. However, workflow-init is helpful because it:
-
-- Determines your project's appropriate level automatically
-- Creates the tracking status file
-- Routes you to the correct starting workflow
-
-For experienced users: use the [Quick Reference](./quick-start.md#quick-reference-agent-document-mapping) to go directly to the right agent/workflow.
-
-### Q: Why do I need fresh chats for each workflow?
-
-**A:** Context-intensive workflows (like brainstorming, PRD creation, architecture design) can cause AI hallucinations if run in sequence within the same chat. Starting fresh ensures the agent has maximum context capacity for each workflow. This is particularly important for:
-
-- Planning workflows (PRD, architecture)
-- Analysis workflows (brainstorming, research)
-- Complex story implementation
-
-Quick workflows like status checks can reuse chats safely.
-
-### Q: Can I skip workflow-status and just start working?
-
-**A:** Yes, if you already know your project level and which workflow comes next. workflow-status is mainly useful for:
-
-- New projects (guides initial setup)
-- When you're unsure what to do next
-- After breaks in work (reminds you where you left off)
-- Checking overall progress
-
-### Q: What's the minimum I need to get started?
-
-**A:** For the fastest path:
-
-1. Install BMad Method: `npx bmad-method@alpha install`
-2. For small changes: Load PM agent → run tech-spec → implement
-3. For larger projects: Load PM agent → run prd → architect → implement
-
-### Q: How do I know if I'm in Phase 1, 2, 3, or 4?
-
-**A:** Check your `bmm-workflow-status.md` file (created by workflow-init). It shows your current phase and progress. If you don't have this file, you can also tell by what you're working on:
-
-- **Phase 1** - Brainstorming, research, product brief (optional)
-- **Phase 2** - Creating either a PRD or tech-spec (always required)
-- **Phase 3** - Architecture design (Level 2-4 only)
-- **Phase 4** - Actually writing code, implementing stories
-
----
-
-## Choosing the Right Level
-
-### Q: How do I know which level my project is?
-
-**A:** Use workflow-init for automatic detection, or self-assess using these keywords:
-
-- **Level 0:** "fix", "bug", "typo", "small change", "patch" → 1 story
-- **Level 1:** "simple", "basic", "small feature", "add" → 2-10 stories
-- **Level 2:** "dashboard", "several features", "admin panel" → 5-15 stories
-- **Level 3:** "platform", "integration", "complex", "system" → 12-40 stories
-- **Level 4:** "enterprise", "multi-tenant", "multiple products" → 40+ stories
-
-When in doubt, start smaller. You can always run create-prd later if needed.
-
-### Q: Can I change levels mid-project?
-
-**A:** Yes! If you started at Level 1 but realize it's Level 2, you can run create-prd to add proper planning docs. The system is flexible - your initial level choice isn't permanent.
-
-### Q: What if workflow-init suggests the wrong level?
-
-**A:** You can override it! workflow-init suggests a level but always asks for confirmation. If you disagree, just say so and choose the level you think is appropriate. Trust your judgment.
-
-### Q: Do I always need architecture for Level 2?
-
-**A:** No, architecture is **optional** for Level 2. Only create architecture if you need system-level design. Many Level 2 projects work fine with just PRD + epic-tech-context created during implementation.
-
-### Q: What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?
-
-**A:**
-
-- **Level 1:** 1-10 stories, uses tech-spec (simpler, faster), no architecture
-- **Level 2:** 5-15 stories, uses PRD (product-focused), optional architecture
-
-The overlap (5-10 stories) is intentional. Choose based on:
-
-- Need product-level planning? → Level 2
-- Just need technical plan? → Level 1
-- Multiple epics? → Level 2
-- Single epic? → Level 1
-
----
-
-## Workflows and Phases
-
-### Q: What's the difference between workflow-status and workflow-init?
-
-**A:**
-
-- **workflow-status:** Checks existing status and tells you what's next (use when continuing work)
-- **workflow-init:** Creates new status file and sets up project (use when starting new project)
-
-If status file exists, use workflow-status. If not, use workflow-init.
-
-### Q: Can I skip Phase 1 (Analysis)?
-
-**A:** Yes! Phase 1 is optional for all levels, though recommended for complex projects. Skip if:
-
-- Requirements are clear
-- No research needed
-- Time-sensitive work
-- Small changes (Level 0-1)
-
-### Q: When is Phase 3 (Architecture) required?
-
-**A:**
-
-- **Level 0-1:** Never (skip entirely)
-- **Level 2:** Optional (only if system design needed)
-- **Level 3-4:** Required (comprehensive architecture mandatory)
-
-### Q: What happens if I skip a recommended workflow?
-
-**A:** Nothing breaks! Workflows are guidance, not enforcement. However, skipping recommended workflows (like architecture for Level 3) may cause:
-
-- Integration issues during implementation
-- Rework due to poor planning
-- Conflicting design decisions
-- Longer development time overall
-
-### Q: How do I know when Phase 3 is complete and I can start Phase 4?
-
-**A:** For Level 3-4, run the solutioning-gate-check workflow. It validates that PRD, architecture, and UX (if applicable) are cohesive before implementation. Pass the gate check = ready for Phase 4.
-
-### Q: Can I run workflows in parallel or do they have to be sequential?
-
-**A:** Most workflows must be sequential within a phase:
-
-- Phase 1: brainstorm → research → product-brief (optional order)
-- Phase 2: PRD must complete before moving forward
-- Phase 3: architecture → validate → gate-check (sequential)
-- Phase 4: Stories within an epic should generally be sequential, but stories in different epics can be parallel if you have capacity
-
----
-
-## Planning Documents
-
-### Q: What's the difference between tech-spec and epic-tech-context?
-
-**A:**
-
-- **Tech-spec (Level 0-1):** Created upfront in Planning Phase, serves as primary/only planning document, a combination of enough technical and planning information to drive a single or multiple files
-- **Epic-tech-context (Level 2-4):** Created during Implementation Phase per epic, supplements PRD + Architecture
-
-Think of it as: tech-spec is for small projects (replaces PRD and architecture), epic-tech-context is for large projects (supplements PRD).
-
-### Q: Why no tech-spec at Level 2+?
-
-**A:** Level 2+ projects need product-level planning (PRD) and system-level design (Architecture), which tech-spec doesn't provide. Tech-spec is too narrow for coordinating multiple features. Instead, Level 2-4 uses:
-
-- PRD (product vision, requirements, epics)
-- Architecture (system design)
-- Epic-tech-context (detailed implementation per epic, created just-in-time)
-
-### Q: When do I create epic-tech-context?
-
-**A:** In Phase 4, right before implementing each epic. Don't create all epic-tech-context upfront - that's over-planning. Create them just-in-time using the epic-tech-context workflow as you're about to start working on that epic.
-
-**Why just-in-time?** You'll learn from earlier epics, and those learnings improve later epic-tech-context.
-
-### Q: Do I need a PRD for a bug fix?
-
-**A:** No! Bug fixes are typically Level 0 (single atomic change). Use Quick Spec Flow:
-
-- Load PM agent
-- Run tech-spec workflow
-- Implement immediately
-
-PRDs are for Level 2-4 projects with multiple features requiring product-level coordination.
-
-### Q: Can I skip the product brief?
-
-**A:** Yes, product brief is always optional. It's most valuable for:
-
-- Level 3-4 projects needing strategic direction
-- Projects with stakeholders requiring alignment
-- Novel products needing market research
-- When you want to explore solution space before committing
-
----
-
-## Implementation
-
-### Q: Do I need story-context for every story?
-
-**A:** Technically no, but it's recommended. story-context provides implementation-specific guidance, references existing patterns, and injects expertise. Skip it only if:
-
-- Very simple story (self-explanatory)
-- You're already expert in the area
-- Time is extremely limited
-
-For Level 0-1 using tech-spec, story-context is less critical because tech-spec is already comprehensive.
-
-### Q: What if I don't create epic-tech-context before drafting stories?
-
-**A:** You can proceed without it, but you'll miss:
-
-- Epic-level technical direction
-- Architecture guidance for this epic
-- Integration strategy with other epics
-- Common patterns to follow across stories
-
-epic-tech-context helps ensure stories within an epic are cohesive.
-
-### Q: How do I mark a story as done?
-
-**A:** You have two options:
-
-**Option 1: Use story-done workflow (Recommended)**
-
-1. Load SM agent
-2. Run `story-done` workflow
-3. Workflow automatically updates `sprint-status.yaml` (created by sprint-planning at Phase 4 start)
-4. Moves story from current status → `DONE`
-5. Advances the story queue
-
-**Option 2: Manual update**
-
-1. After dev-story completes and code-review passes
-2. Open `sprint-status.yaml` (created by sprint-planning)
-3. Change the story status from `review` to `done`
-4. Save the file
-
-The story-done workflow is faster and ensures proper status file updates.
-
-### Q: Can I work on multiple stories at once?
-
-**A:** Yes, if you have capacity! Stories within different epics can be worked in parallel. However, stories within the same epic are usually sequential because they build on each other.
-
-### Q: What if my story takes longer than estimated?
-
-**A:** That's normal! Stories are estimates. If implementation reveals more complexity:
-
-1. Continue working until DoD is met
-2. Consider if story should be split
-3. Document learnings in retrospective
-4. Adjust future estimates based on this learning
-
-### Q: When should I run retrospective?
-
-**A:** After completing all stories in an epic (when epic is done). Retrospectives capture:
-
-- What went well
-- What could improve
-- Technical insights
-- Input for next epic-tech-context
-
-Don't wait until project end - run after each epic for continuous improvement.

-
-## Brownfield Development
-
-### Q: What is brownfield vs greenfield?
-
-**A:**
-
-- **Greenfield:** New project, starting from scratch, clean slate
-- **Brownfield:** Existing project, working with established codebase and patterns
-
-### Q: Do I have to run document-project for brownfield?
-
-**A:** Highly recommended, especially if:
-
-- No existing documentation
-- Documentation is outdated
-- AI agents need context about existing code
-- Level 2-4 complexity
-
-You can skip it if you have comprehensive, up-to-date documentation including `docs/index.md`.
-
-### Q: What if I forget to run document-project on brownfield?
-
-**A:** Workflows will lack context about existing code. You may get:
-
-- Suggestions that don't match existing patterns
-- Integration approaches that miss existing APIs
-- Architecture that conflicts with current structure
-
-Run document-project and restart planning with proper context.
-
-### Q: Can I use Quick Spec Flow for brownfield projects?
-
-**A:** Yes! Quick Spec Flow works great for brownfield. It will:
-
-- Auto-detect your existing stack
-- Analyze brownfield code patterns
-- Detect conventions and ask for confirmation
-- Generate context-rich tech-spec that respects existing code
-
-Perfect for bug fixes and small features in existing codebases.
-
-### Q: How does workflow-init handle brownfield with old planning docs?
-
-**A:** workflow-init asks about YOUR current work first, then uses old artifacts as context:
-
-1. Shows what it found (old PRD, epics, etc.)
-2. Asks: "Is this work in progress, previous effort, or proposed work?"
-3. If previous effort: Asks you to describe your NEW work
-4. Determines level based on YOUR work, not old artifacts
-
-This prevents old Level 3 PRDs from forcing Level 3 workflow for new Level 0 bug fix.
-
-### Q: What if my existing code doesn't follow best practices?
-
-**A:** Quick Spec Flow detects your conventions and asks: "Should I follow these existing conventions?" You decide:
-
-- **Yes** → Maintain consistency with current codebase
-- **No** → Establish new standards (document why in tech-spec)
-
-BMM respects your choice - it won't force modernization, but it will offer it.
-
----
-
-## Tools and Technical
-
-### Q: Why are my Mermaid diagrams not rendering?
-
-**A:** Common issues:
-
-1. Missing language tag: Use ` ```mermaid` not just ` ``` `
-2. Syntax errors in diagram (validate at mermaid.live)
-3. Tool doesn't support Mermaid (check your Markdown renderer)
-
-All BMM docs use valid Mermaid syntax that should render in GitHub, VS Code, and most IDEs.
-
-### Q: Can I use BMM with GitHub Copilot / Cursor / other AI tools?
-
-**A:** Yes! BMM is complementary. BMM handles:
-
-- Project planning and structure
-- Workflow orchestration
-- Agent Personas and expertise
-- Documentation generation
-- Quality gates
-
-Your AI coding assistant handles:
-
-- Line-by-line code completion
-- Quick refactoring
-- Test generation
-
-Use them together for best results.
-
-### Q: What IDEs/tools support BMM?
-
-**A:** BMM requires tools with **agent mode** and access to **high-quality LLM models** that can load and follow complex workflows, then properly implement code changes.
-
-**Recommended Tools:**
-
-- **Claude Code** ⭐ **Best choice**
-  - Sonnet 4.5 (excellent workflow following, coding, reasoning)
-  - Opus (maximum context, complex planning)
-  - Native agent mode designed for BMM workflows
-
-- **Cursor**
-  - Supports Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI models
-  - Agent mode with composer
-  - Good for developers who prefer Cursor's UX
-
-- **Windsurf**
-  - Multi-model support
-  - Agent capabilities
-  - Suitable for BMM workflows
-
-**What Matters:**
-
-1. **Agent mode** - Can load long workflow instructions and maintain context
-2. **High-quality LLM** - Models ranked high on SWE-bench (coding benchmarks)
-3. **Model selection** - Access to Claude Sonnet 4.5, Opus, or GPT-4o class models
-4. **Context capacity** - Can handle large planning documents and codebases
-
-**Why model quality matters:** BMM workflows require LLMs that can follow multi-step processes, maintain context across phases, and implement code that adheres to specifications. Tools with weaker models will struggle with workflow adherence and code quality.
-
-See [IDE Setup Guides](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/main/docs/ide-info) for configuration specifics.
-
-### Q: Can I customize agents?
-
-**A:** Yes! Agents are installed as markdown files with XML-style content (optimized for LLMs, readable by any model). Create customization files in `bmad/_cfg/agents/[agent-name].customize.yaml` to override default behaviors while keeping core functionality intact. See agent documentation for customization options.
-
-**Note:** While source agents in this repo are YAML, they install as `.md` files with XML-style tags - a format any LLM can read and follow.
-
-### Q: What happens to my planning docs after implementation?
-
-**A:** Keep them! They serve as:
-
-- Historical record of decisions
-- Onboarding material for new team members
-- Reference for future enhancements
-- Audit trail for compliance
-
-For enterprise projects (Level 4), consider archiving completed planning artifacts to keep workspace clean.
-
-### Q: Can I use BMM for non-software projects?
-
-**A:** BMM is optimized for software development, but the methodology principles (scale-adaptive planning, just-in-time design, context injection) can apply to other complex project types. You'd need to adapt workflows and agents for your domain.
-
----
-
-## Advanced Questions
-
-### Q: What if my project grows from Level 1 to Level 3?
-
-**A:** Totally fine! When you realize scope has grown:
-
-1. Run create-prd to add product-level planning
-2. Run create-architecture for system design
-3. Use existing tech-spec as input for PRD
-4. Continue with updated level
-
-The system is flexible - growth is expected.
-
-### Q: Can I mix greenfield and brownfield approaches?
-
-**A:** Yes! Common scenario: adding new greenfield feature to brownfield codebase. Approach:
-
-1. Run document-project for brownfield context
-2. Use greenfield workflows for new feature planning
-3. Explicitly document integration points between new and existing
-4. Test integration thoroughly
-
-### Q: How do I handle urgent hotfixes during a sprint?
-
-**A:** Use correct-course workflow or just:
-
-1. Save your current work state
-2. Load PM agent → quick tech-spec for hotfix
-3. Implement hotfix (Level 0 flow)
-4. Deploy hotfix
-5. Return to original sprint work
-
-Level 0 Quick Spec Flow is perfect for urgent fixes.
-
-### Q: What if I disagree with the workflow's recommendations?
-
-**A:** Workflows are guidance, not enforcement. If a workflow recommends something that doesn't make sense for your context:
-
-- Explain your reasoning to the agent
-- Ask for alternative approaches
-- Skip the recommendation if you're confident
-- Document why you deviated (for future reference)
-
-Trust your expertise - BMM supports your decisions.
-
-### Q: Can multiple developers work on the same BMM project?
-
-**A:** Yes! But the paradigm is fundamentally different from traditional agile teams.
-
-**Key Difference:**
-
-- **Traditional:** Multiple devs work on stories within one epic (months)
-- **Agentic:** Each dev owns complete epics (days)
-
-**In traditional agile:** A team of 5 devs might spend 2-3 months on a single epic, with each dev owning different stories.
-
-**With BMM + AI agents:** A single dev can complete an entire epic in 1-3 days. What used to take months now takes days.
-
-**Team Work Distribution:**
-
-- **Recommended:** Split work by **epic** (not story)
-- Each developer owns complete epics end-to-end
-- Parallel work happens at epic level
-- Minimal coordination needed
-
-**For full-stack apps:**
-
-- Frontend and backend can be separate epics (unusual in traditional agile)
-- Frontend dev owns all frontend epics
-- Backend dev owns all backend epics
-- Works because delivery is so fast
-
-**Enterprise Considerations:**
-
-- Use **git submodules** for BMM installation (not .gitignore)
-- Allows personal configurations without polluting main repo
-- Teams may use different AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
-- Developers may follow different methods or create custom agents/workflows
-
-**Quick Tips:**
-
-- Share `sprint-status.yaml` (single source of truth)
-- Assign entire epics to developers (not individual stories)
-- Coordinate at epic boundaries, not story level
-- Use git submodules for BMM in enterprise settings
-
-**For comprehensive coverage of enterprise team collaboration, work distribution strategies, git submodule setup, and velocity expectations, see:**
-
-👉 **[Enterprise Agentic Development Guide](./enterprise-agentic-development.md)**
-
-### Q: What is party mode and when should I use it?
-
-**A:** Party mode is a unique multi-agent collaboration feature where ALL your installed agents (19+ from BMM, CIS, BMB, custom modules) discuss your challenges together in real-time.
-
-**How it works:**
-
-1. Run `/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode` (or `*party-mode` from any agent)
-2. Introduce your topic
-3. BMad Master selects 2-3 most relevant agents per message
-4. Agents cross-talk, debate, and build on each other's ideas
-
-**Best for:**
-
-- Strategic decisions with trade-offs (architecture choices, tech stack, scope)
-- Creative brainstorming (game design, product innovation, UX ideation)
-- Cross-functional alignment (epic kickoffs, retrospectives, phase transitions)

-
-## Core Concepts
-
-### BMM (BMad Method Module)
-
-Core orchestration system for AI-driven agile development, providing comprehensive lifecycle management through specialized agents and workflows.
-
-### BMad Method
-
-The complete methodology for AI-assisted software development, encompassing planning, architecture, implementation, and quality assurance workflows that adapt to project complexity.
-
-### Scale-Adaptive System
-
-BMad Method's intelligent workflow orchestration that automatically adjusts planning depth, documentation requirements, and implementation processes based on project needs through three distinct planning tracks (Quick Flow, BMad Method, Enterprise Method).
-
-### Agent
-
-A specialized AI persona with specific expertise (PM, Architect, SM, DEV, TEA) that guides users through workflows and creates deliverables. Agents have defined capabilities, communication styles, and workflow access.
-
-### Workflow
-
-A multi-step guided process that orchestrates AI agent activities to produce specific deliverables. Workflows are interactive and adapt to user context.
-
----
-
-## Scale and Complexity
-
-### Quick Flow Track
-
-Fast implementation track using tech-spec planning only. Best for bug fixes, small features, and changes with clear scope. Typical range: 1-15 stories. No architecture phase needed. Examples: bug fixes, OAuth login, search features.
-
-### BMad Method Track
-
-Full product planning track using PRD + Architecture + UX. Best for products, platforms, and complex features requiring system design. Typical range: 10-50+ stories. Examples: admin dashboards, e-commerce platforms, SaaS products.
-
-### Enterprise Method Track
-
-Extended enterprise planning track adding Security Architecture, DevOps Strategy, and Test Strategy to BMad Method. Best for enterprise requirements, compliance needs, and multi-tenant systems. Typical range: 30+ stories. Examples: multi-tenant platforms, compliance-driven systems, mission-critical applications.
-
-### Planning Track
-
-The methodology path (Quick Flow, BMad Method, or Enterprise Method) chosen for a project based on planning needs, complexity, and requirements rather than story count alone.
-
-**Note:** Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Tracks are determined by what planning the project needs, not story math.
-
----
-
-## Planning Documents
-
-### Tech-Spec (Technical Specification)
-
-**Quick Flow track only.** Comprehensive technical plan created upfront that serves as the primary planning document for small changes or features. Contains problem statement, solution approach, file-level changes, stack detection (brownfield), testing strategy, and developer resources.
-
-### Epic-Tech-Context (Epic Technical Context)
-
-**BMad Method/Enterprise tracks only.** Detailed technical planning document created during implementation (just-in-time) for each epic. Supplements PRD + Architecture with epic-specific implementation details, code-level design decisions, and integration points.
-
-**Key Difference:** Tech-spec (Quick Flow) is created upfront and is the only planning doc. Epic-tech-context (BMad Method/Enterprise) is created per epic during implementation and supplements PRD + Architecture.
-
-### PRD (Product Requirements Document)
-
-**BMad Method/Enterprise tracks.** Product-level planning document containing vision, goals, feature requirements, epic breakdown, success criteria, and UX considerations. Replaces tech-spec for larger projects that need product planning.
-
-### Architecture Document
-
-**BMad Method/Enterprise tracks.** System-wide design document defining structure, components, interactions, data models, integration patterns, security, performance, and deployment.
-
-**Scale-Adaptive:** Architecture complexity scales with track - BMad Method is lightweight to moderate, Enterprise Method is comprehensive with security/devops/test strategies.
-
-### Epics
-
-High-level feature groupings that contain multiple related stories. Typically span 5-15 stories each and represent cohesive functionality (e.g., "User Authentication Epic").
-
-### Product Brief
-
-Optional strategic planning document created in Phase 1 (Analysis) that captures product vision, market context, user needs, and high-level requirements before detailed planning.
-
-### GDD (Game Design Document)
-
-Game development equivalent of PRD, created by Game Designer agent for game projects.
-
----
-
-## Workflow and Phases
-
-### Phase 0: Documentation (Prerequisite)
-
-**Conditional phase for brownfield projects.** Creates comprehensive codebase documentation before planning. Only required if existing documentation is insufficient for AI agents.
-
-### Phase 1: Analysis (Optional)
-
-Discovery and research phase including brainstorming, research workflows, and product brief creation. Optional for Quick Flow, recommended for BMad Method, required for Enterprise Method.
-
-### Phase 2: Planning (Required)
-
-**Always required.** Creates formal requirements and work breakdown. Routes to tech-spec (Quick Flow) or PRD (BMad Method/Enterprise) based on selected track.
-
-### Phase 3: Solutioning (Track-Dependent)
-
-Architecture design phase. Required for BMad Method and Enterprise Method tracks. Includes architecture creation, validation, and gate checks.
-
-### Phase 4: Implementation (Required)
-
-Sprint-based development through story-by-story iteration. Uses sprint-planning, epic-tech-context, create-story, story-context, dev-story, code-review, and retrospective workflows.
-
-### Quick Spec Flow
-
-Fast-track workflow system for Quick Flow track projects that goes straight from idea to tech-spec to implementation, bypassing heavy planning. Designed for bug fixes, small features, and rapid prototyping.
-
-### Just-In-Time Design
-
-Pattern where epic-tech-context is created during implementation (Phase 4) right before working on each epic, rather than all upfront. Enables learning and adaptation.
-
-### Context Injection
-
-Dynamic technical guidance generated for each story via epic-tech-context and story-context workflows, providing exact expertise when needed without upfront over-planning.
-
----
-
-## Agents and Roles
-
-### PM (Product Manager)
-
-Agent responsible for creating PRDs, tech-specs, and managing product requirements. Primary agent for Phase 2 planning.
-
-### Analyst (Business Analyst)
-
-Agent that initializes workflows, conducts research, creates product briefs, and tracks progress. Often the entry point for new projects.
-
-### Architect
-
-Agent that designs system architecture, creates architecture documents, performs technical reviews, and validates designs. Primary agent for Phase 3 solutioning.
-
-### SM (Scrum Master)
-
-Agent that manages sprints, creates stories, generates contexts, and coordinates implementation. Primary orchestrator for Phase 4 implementation.
-
-### DEV (Developer)
-
-Agent that implements stories, writes code, runs tests, and performs code reviews. Primary implementer in Phase 4.
-
-### TEA (Test Architect)
-
-Agent responsible for test strategy, quality gates, NFR assessment, and comprehensive quality assurance. Integrates throughout all phases.
-
-### Technical Writer
-
-Agent specialized in creating and maintaining high-quality technical documentation. Expert in documentation standards, information architecture, and professional technical writing. The agent's internal name is "paige" but is presented as "Technical Writer" to users.
-
-### UX Designer
-
-Agent that creates UX design documents, interaction patterns, and visual specifications for UI-heavy projects.
-
-### Game Designer
-
-Specialized agent for game development projects. Creates game design documents (GDD) and game-specific workflows.
-
-### BMad Master
-
-Meta-level orchestrator agent from BMad Core. Facilitates party mode, lists available tasks and workflows, and provides high-level guidance across all modules.
-
-### Party Mode
-
-Multi-agent collaboration feature where all installed agents (19+ from BMM, CIS, BMB, custom modules) discuss challenges together in real-time. BMad Master orchestrates, selecting 2-3 relevant agents per message for natural cross-talk and debate. Best for strategic decisions, creative brainstorming, cross-functional alignment, and complex problem-solving. See [Party Mode Guide](./party-mode.md).
-
----
-
-## Status and Tracking
-
-### bmm-workflow-status.yaml
-
-**Phases 1-3.** Tracking file that shows current phase, completed workflows, progress, and next recommended actions. Created by workflow-init, updated automatically.
-
-### sprint-status.yaml
-
-**Phase 4 only.** Single source of truth for implementation tracking. Contains all epics, stories, and retrospectives with current status for each. Created by sprint-planning, updated by agents.
-
-### Story Status Progression
-
-```
-backlog → drafted → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done
-```
-
-- **backlog** - Story exists in epic but not yet drafted
-- **drafted** - Story file created by SM via create-story
-- **ready-for-dev** - Story has context, ready for DEV via story-context
-- **in-progress** - DEV is implementing via dev-story
-- **review** - Implementation complete, awaiting code-review
-- **done** - Completed with DoD met
-
-### Epic Status Progression
-
-```
-backlog → contexted
-```
-
-- **backlog** - Epic exists in planning docs but no context yet
-- **contexted** - Epic has technical context via epic-tech-context
-
-### Retrospective
-
-Workflow run after completing each epic to capture learnings, identify improvements, and feed insights into next epic planning. Critical for continuous improvement.
-
----
-
-## Project Types
-
-### Greenfield
-
-New project starting from scratch with no existing codebase. Freedom to establish patterns, choose stack, and design from clean slate.
-
-### Brownfield
-
-Existing project with established codebase, patterns, and constraints. Requires understanding existing architecture, respecting established conventions, and planning integration with current systems.
-
-**Critical:** Brownfield projects should run document-project workflow BEFORE planning to ensure AI agents have adequate context about existing code.
-
-### document-project Workflow
-
-**Brownfield prerequisite.** Analyzes and documents existing codebase, creating comprehensive documentation including project overview, architecture analysis, source tree, API contracts, and data models. Three scan levels: quick, deep, exhaustive.
-
----
-
-## Implementation Terms
-
-### Story
-
-Single unit of implementable work with clear acceptance criteria, typically 2-8 hours of development effort. Stories are grouped into epics and tracked in sprint-status.yaml.
-
-### Story File
-
-Markdown file containing story details: description, acceptance criteria, technical notes, dependencies, implementation guidance, and testing requirements.
-
-### Story Context
-
-Technical guidance document created via story-context workflow that provides implementation-specific context, references existing patterns, suggests approaches, and injects expertise for the specific story.
-
-### Epic Context
-
-Technical planning document created via epic-tech-context workflow before drafting stories within an epic. Provides epic-level technical direction, architecture notes, and implementation strategy.
-
-### Sprint Planning
-
-Workflow that initializes Phase 4 implementation by creating sprint-status.yaml, extracting all epics/stories from planning docs, and setting up tracking infrastructure.
-
-### Gate Check
-
-Validation workflow (solutioning-gate-check) run before Phase 4 to ensure PRD, architecture, and UX documents are cohesive with no gaps or contradictions. Required for BMad Method and Enterprise Method tracks.
-
-### DoD (Definition of Done)
-
-Criteria that must be met before marking a story as done. Typically includes: implementation complete, tests written and passing, code reviewed, documentation updated, and acceptance criteria validated.
-
-### Shard / Sharding
-
-**For runtime LLM optimization only (NOT human docs).** Splitting large planning documents (PRD, epics, architecture) into smaller section-based files to improve workflow efficiency. Phase 1-3 workflows load entire sharded documents transparently. Phase 4 workflows selectively load only needed sections for massive token savings.
-
----
-
-## Additional Terms
-
-### Workflow Status
-
-Universal entry point workflow that checks for existing status file, displays current phase/progress, and recommends next action based on project state.
-
-### Workflow Init
-
-Initialization workflow that creates bmm-workflow-status.yaml, detects greenfield vs brownfield, determines planning track, and sets up appropriate workflow path.
-
-### Track Selection
-
-Automatic analysis by workflow-init that uses keyword analysis, complexity indicators, and project requirements to suggest appropriate track (Quick Flow, BMad Method, or Enterprise Method). User can override suggested track.
-
-### Correct Course
-
-Workflow run during Phase 4 when significant changes or issues arise. Analyzes impact, proposes solutions, and routes to appropriate remediation workflows.
-
-### Migration Strategy
-
-Plan for handling changes to existing data, schemas, APIs, or patterns during brownfield development. Critical for ensuring backward compatibility and smooth rollout.
-
-### Feature Flags
-
-Implementation technique for brownfield projects that allows gradual rollout of new functionality, easy rollback, and A/B testing. Recommended for BMad Method and Enterprise brownfield changes.
-
-### Integration Points
-
-Specific locations where new code connects with existing systems. Must be documented explicitly in brownfield tech-specs and architectures.
-
-### Convention Detection
-
-Quick Spec Flow feature that automatically detects existing code style, naming conventions, patterns, and frameworks from brownfield codebases, then asks user to confirm before proceeding.

-# Party Mode: Multi-Agent Collaboration
-
-**Get all your AI agents in one conversation**
-
----
-
-## What is Party Mode?
-
-Ever wanted to gather your entire AI team in one room and see what happens? That's party mode.
-
-Type `/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode` (or `*party-mode` from any agent), and suddenly you've got **all your AI agents** in one conversation. PM, Architect, DEV, UX Designer, the CIS creative agents - everyone shows up.
-
-**Why it's useful:**
-
-- **After complex workflows** - Debrief with the whole team about what worked, what didn't
-- **Big decisions with tradeoffs** - Get technical, creative, and strategic perspectives simultaneously
-- **Brainstorming sessions** - Watch ideas evolve through cross-pollination
-- **When things go wrong** - Call out failures, watch agents defend their decisions, let them debate whose fault it was (oddly therapeutic)
-- **Sprint retrospectives** - Party mode powers the retrospective workflow
-- **Sprint planning** - Multi-agent collaboration for planning sessions
-
-**Future use:** Advanced elicitation workflows will leverage party mode for sophisticated requirement gathering.
-
----
-
-## How It Works
-
-**The basics:**
-
-1. Party mode reads `bmad/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv`
-2. Loads ALL installed agents (already includes your customizations from install)
-3. BMad Master orchestrates - picks 2-3 relevant agents per message based on topic
-4. Agents respond in character, can agree/disagree/build on each other's ideas
-5. Discussion continues until you type "exit" or reach natural conclusion
-
-**That's it.** No complex merging, no runtime magic. Just agents talking.
-
----
-
-## Quick Start
-
-```bash
-# Trigger party mode
-/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode
-
-# OR from any agent context
-*party-mode
-
-# During party
-Ask questions, respond to agents, direct the conversation
-
-# Exit
-Type: exit
-```
-
----
-
-## Fun Examples
-
-### Example 1: Calling Out Bad Architecture
-
-**You:** "Okay team, our last sprint was a disaster. The authentication service went down three times. Who screwed this up?"
-
-**Architect (Winston):** "The design was sound - distributed authentication with proper fallbacks. If implementation deviated from the spec..."
-
-**DEV (Amelia):** "I followed the architecture doc exactly. The spec didn't account for concurrent session invalidation race conditions."
-
-**PM (John):** "Both of you missed the bigger issue - we didn't validate session management requirements in the PRD. This is on me for not catching it."
-
-**TEA (Murat):** "And I should've caught this in integration tests. The test scenarios didn't cover concurrent invalidation."
-
-_(Watch them debate whose fault it really was - it's therapeutic)_
-
----
-
-### Example 2: Creative Brainstorming
-
-**You:** "How do we make onboarding feel magical instead of boring?"
-
-**UX Designer (Sally):** "Start with progressive disclosure - reveal features as users need them, not all at once in a tutorial."
-
-**Storyteller (CIS):** "What if onboarding was a story? Each step reveals a character's journey - the user IS the hero."
-
-**Innovation Strategist (CIS):** "Take it further - gamify with unlockable achievements. But make them meaningful, not arbitrary badges."
-
-**Game Designer:** "Building on that - what if the first 'quest' is actually solving a real user problem? They learn by doing something valuable."
-
-_(Ideas cross-pollinate and evolve)_
-
----
-
-### Example 3: Technical Decision
-
-**You:** "Monolith or microservices for MVP?"
-
-**Architect:** "Start monolith. Microservices add complexity you don't need at 1000 users."
-
-**PM:** "Agree. Time to market matters more than theoretical scalability."
-
-**DEV:** "Monolith with clear module boundaries. We can extract services later if needed."
-
-**Innovation Strategist:** "Contrarian take - if your differentiator IS scalability, build for it now. Otherwise Architect's right."
-
-_(Multiple perspectives reveal the right answer)_
-
----
-
-## When NOT to Use Party Mode
-
-**Skip party mode for:**
-
-- Simple implementation questions → Use DEV agent
-- Document review → Use Technical Writer
-- Workflow status checks → Use any agent + `*workflow-status`
-- Single-domain questions → Use specialist agent
-
-**Use party mode for:**
-
-- Multi-perspective decisions
-- Creative collaboration
-- Post-mortems and retrospectives
-- Sprint planning sessions
-- Complex problem-solving
-
----
-
-## Agent Customization
-
-Party mode uses agents from `bmad/[module]/agents/*.md` - these already include any customizations you applied during install.
-
-**To customize agents for party mode:**
-
-1. Create customization file: `bmad/_cfg/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml`
-2. Run `npx bmad-method install` to rebuild agents
-3. Customizations now active in party mode
-
-Example customization:
-
-```yaml
-agent:
-  persona:
-    principles:
-      - 'HIPAA compliance is non-negotiable'
-      - 'Patient safety over feature velocity'
-```
-
-See [Agents Guide](./agents-guide.md#agent-customization) for details.
-
----
-
-## BMM Workflows That Use Party Mode
-
-**Current:**
-
-- `epic-retrospective` - Post-epic team retrospective powered by party mode
-- Sprint planning discussions (informal party mode usage)
-
-**Future:**
-
-- Advanced elicitation workflows will officially integrate party mode
-- Multi-agent requirement validation
-- Collaborative technical reviews
-
----
-
-## Available Agents
-
-Party mode can include **19+ agents** from all installed modules:
-
-**BMM (12 agents):** PM, Analyst, Architect, SM, DEV, TEA, UX Designer, Technical Writer, Game Designer, Game Developer, Game Architect
-
-**CIS (5 agents):** Brainstorming Coach, Creative Problem Solver, Design Thinking Coach, Innovation Strategist, Storyteller
-
-**BMB (1 agent):** BMad Builder
-
-**Core (1 agent):** BMad Master (orchestrator)
-
-**Custom:** Any agents you've created
-
----
-
-## Tips
-
-**Get better results:**
-
-- Be specific with your topic/question
-- Provide context (project type, constraints, goals)
-- Direct specific agents when you want their expertise
-- Make decisions - party mode informs, you decide
-- Time box discussions (15-30 minutes is usually plenty)
-
-**Examples of good opening questions:**
-
-- "We need to decide between REST and GraphQL for our mobile API. Project is a B2B SaaS with 50 enterprise clients."
-- "Our last sprint failed spectacularly. Let's discuss what went wrong with authentication implementation."
-- "Brainstorm: how can we make our game's tutorial feel rewarding instead of tedious?"
-
----
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Same agents responding every time?**
-Vary your questions or explicitly request other perspectives: "Game Designer, your thoughts?"
-
-**Discussion going in circles?**
-BMad Master will summarize and redirect, or you can make a decision and move on.
-
-**Too many agents talking?**
-Make your topic more specific - BMad Master picks 2-3 agents based on relevance.
-
-**Agents not using customizations?**
-Make sure you ran `npx bmad-method install` after creating customization files.

-# BMad Quick Spec Flow
-
-**Perfect for:** Bug fixes, small features, rapid prototyping, and quick enhancements
-
-**Time to implementation:** Minutes, not hours
-
----
-
-## What is Quick Spec Flow?
-
-Quick Spec Flow is a **streamlined alternative** to the full BMad Method for Quick Flow track projects. Instead of going through Product Brief → PRD → Architecture, you go **straight to a context-aware technical specification** and start coding.
-
-### When to Use Quick Spec Flow
-
-✅ **Use Quick Flow track when:**
-
-- Single bug fix or small enhancement
-- Small feature with clear scope (typically 1-15 stories)
-- Rapid prototyping or experimentation
-- Adding to existing brownfield codebase
-- You know exactly what you want to build
-
-❌ **Use BMad Method or Enterprise tracks when:**
-
-- Building new products or major features
-- Need stakeholder alignment
-- Complex multi-team coordination
-- Requires extensive planning and architecture
-
-💡 **Not sure?** Run `workflow-init` to get a recommendation based on your project's needs!

-- Research documents
-- `document-project` output (brownfield codebase map)
-
-### 2. Project Stack
-
-- **Node.js:** package.json → frameworks, dependencies, scripts, test framework
-- **Python:** requirements.txt, pyproject.toml → packages, tools
-- **Ruby:** Gemfile → gems and versions
-- **Java:** pom.xml, build.gradle → Maven/Gradle dependencies
-- **Go:** go.mod → modules
-- **Rust:** Cargo.toml → crates
-- **PHP:** composer.json → packages
-
-### 3. Brownfield Code Patterns
-
-- Directory structure and organization
-- Existing code patterns (class-based, functional, MVC)
-- Naming conventions (camelCase, snake_case, PascalCase)
-- Test frameworks and patterns
-- Code style (semicolons, quotes, indentation)
-- Linter/formatter configs
-- Error handling patterns
-- Logging conventions
-- Documentation style
-
-### 4. Convention Confirmation
-
-**IMPORTANT:** Quick Spec Flow detects your conventions and **asks for confirmation**:
-
-```
-I've detected these conventions in your codebase:
-
-Code Style:
-- ESLint with Airbnb config
-- Prettier with single quotes, 2-space indent
-- No semicolons
-
-Test Patterns:
-- Jest test framework
-- .test.js file naming
-- expect() assertion style
-
-Should I follow these existing conventions? (yes/no)
-```
-
-**You decide:** Conform to existing patterns or establish new standards!
-

-**Steps:**
-
-1. **Start:** Load PM agent, say "I want to fix the login validation bug"
-2. **PM runs tech-spec workflow:**
-   - Asks: "What problem are you solving?"
-   - You explain the validation issue
-   - Detects your Node.js stack (Express 4.18.2, Jest for testing)
-   - Analyzes existing UserService code patterns
-   - Asks: "Should I follow your existing conventions?" → You say yes
-   - Generates tech-spec.md with specific file paths and patterns
-   - Creates story-login-fix.md
-3. **Implement:** Load DEV agent, run `dev-story`
-   - DEV reads tech-spec (has all context!)
-   - Implements fix following existing patterns
-   - Runs tests (following existing Jest patterns)
-   - Done!
-
-**Total time:** 15-30 minutes (mostly implementation)
-
----
-
-### Scenario 2: Small Feature (Multi-Story)
-
-**Goal:** Add OAuth social login (Google, GitHub)
-
-**Steps:**
-
-1. **Start:** Load PM agent, say "I want to add OAuth social login"
-2. **PM runs tech-spec workflow:**
-   - Asks about the feature scope
-   - You specify: Google and GitHub OAuth
-   - Detects your stack (Next.js 13.4, NextAuth.js already installed!)
-   - Analyzes existing auth patterns

-
----
-
-## Tips and Best Practices
-
-### 1. **Be Specific in Discovery**
-
-When describing your change, provide specifics:
-
-- ✅ "Fix email validation in UserService to allow plus-addressing"
-- ❌ "Fix validation bug"
-
-### 2. **Trust the Convention Detection**
-
-If it detects your patterns correctly, say yes! It's faster than establishing new conventions.
-
-### 3. **Use WebSearch Recommendations for Greenfield**
-
-Starter templates save hours of setup time. Let Quick Spec Flow find the best ones.
-
-### 4. **Review the Auto-Validation**
-
-When validation runs, read the scores. They tell you if your spec is production-ready.
-
-### 5. **Story Context is Optional**
-
-For single changes, try going directly to dev-story first. Only add story-context if you hit complexity.
-
-### 6. **Keep Single Changes Truly Atomic**
-
-If your "single change" needs 3+ files, it might be a multi-story feature. Let the workflow guide you.
-
-### 7. **Validate Story Sequence for Multi-Story Features**
-
-When you get multiple stories, check the dependency validation output. Proper sequence matters!
-
----
-
-## Real-World Examples
-
-### Example 1: Adding Logging (Single Change)
-
-**Input:** "Add structured logging to payment processing"
-
-**Tech-Spec Output:**
-
-- Detected: winston 3.8.2 already in package.json
-- Analyzed: Existing services use winston with JSON format
-- Confirmed: Follow existing logging patterns
-- Generated: Specific file paths, log levels, format example
-- Story: Ready to implement in 1-2 hours
-
-**Result:** Consistent logging added, following team patterns, no research needed.
-
----
-
-### Example 2: Search Feature (Multi-Story)
-
-**Input:** "Add search to product catalog with filters"
-
-**Tech-Spec Output:**
-
-- Detected: React 18.2.0, MUI component library, Express backend
-- Analyzed: Existing ProductList component patterns
-- Confirmed: Follow existing API and component structure
-- Generated:
-  - Epic: Product Search Functionality
-  - Story 1: Backend search API with filters
-  - Story 2: Frontend search UI component
-- Auto-validated: Story 1 → Story 2 sequence correct
-
-**Result:** Search feature implemented in 4-6 hours with proper architecture.

-# BMad Method V6 Quick Start Guide
-
-Get started with BMad Method v6 for your new greenfield project. This guide walks you through building software from scratch using AI-powered workflows.
-
-## TL;DR - The Quick Path
-
-1. **Install**: `npx bmad-method@alpha install`
-2. **Initialize**: Load Analyst agent → Run "workflow-init"
-3. **Plan**: Load PM agent → Run "prd" (or "tech-spec" for small projects)
-4. **Architect**: Load Architect agent → Run "create-architecture" (10+ stories only)
-5. **Build**: Load SM agent → Run workflows for each story → Load DEV agent → Implement
-6. **Always use fresh chats** for each workflow to avoid hallucinations
-
----
-
-## What is BMad Method?
-
-BMad Method (BMM) helps you build software through guided workflows with specialized AI agents. The process follows four phases:
-
-1. **Phase 1: Analysis** (Optional) - Brainstorming, Research, Product Brief
-2. **Phase 2: Planning** (Required) - Create your requirements (tech-spec or PRD)
-3. **Phase 3: Solutioning** (Track-dependent) - Design the architecture for BMad Method and Enterprise tracks
-4. **Phase 4: Implementation** (Required) - Build your software Epic by Epic, Story by Story
-
-## Installation
-
-```bash
-# Install v6 Alpha to your project
-npx bmad-method@alpha install
-```
-
-The interactive installer will guide you through setup and create a `bmad/` folder with all agents and workflows.
-
----
-
-## Getting Started
-
-### Step 1: Initialize Your Workflow
-
-1. **Load the Analyst agent** in your IDE - See your IDE-specific instructions in [docs/ide-info](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/main/docs/ide-info) for how to activate agents:
-   - [Claude Code](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/blob/main/docs/ide-info/claude-code.md)
-   - [VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/main/docs/ide-info) - Check your IDE folder
-   - Other IDEs also supported
-2. **Wait for the agent's menu** to appear
-3. **Tell the agent**: "Run workflow-init" or type "\*workflow-init" or select the menu item number
-
-#### What happens during workflow-init?
-
-Workflows are interactive processes in V6 that replaced tasks and templates from prior versions. There are many types of workflows, and you can even create your own with the BMad Builder module. For the BMad Method, you'll be interacting with expert-designed workflows crafted to work with you to get the best out of both you and the LLM.
-
-During workflow-init, you'll describe:
-
-- Your project and its goals
-- Whether there's an existing codebase or this is a new project
-- The general size and complexity (you can adjust this later)
-
-#### Planning Tracks
-
-Based on your description, the workflow will suggest a track and let you choose from:
-
-**Three Planning Tracks:**
-
-- **Quick Flow** - Fast implementation (tech-spec only) - bug fixes, simple features, clear scope (typically 1-15 stories)
-- **BMad Method** - Full planning (PRD + Architecture + UX) - products, platforms, complex features (typically 10-50+ stories)
-- **Enterprise Method** - Extended planning (BMad Method + Security/DevOps/Test) - enterprise requirements, compliance, multi-tenant (typically 30+ stories)
-
-**Note**: Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Tracks are chosen based on planning needs, not story math.
-
-#### What gets created?
-
-Once you confirm your track, the `bmm-workflow-status.yaml` file will be created in your project's docs folder (assuming default install location). This file tracks your progress through all phases.
-
-**Important notes:**
-
-- Every track has different paths through the phases
-- Story counts can still change based on overall complexity as you work
-- For this guide, we'll assume a BMad Method track project
-- This workflow will guide you through Phase 1 (optional), Phase 2 (required), and Phase 3 (required for BMad Method and Enterprise tracks)
-
-### Step 2: Work Through Phases 1-3
-
-After workflow-init completes, you'll work through the planning phases. **Important: Use fresh chats for each workflow to avoid context limitations.**
-
-#### Checking Your Status
-
-If you're unsure what to do next:
-
-1. Load any agent in a new chat
-2. Ask for "workflow-status"
-3. The agent will tell you the next recommended or required workflow
-
-**Example response:**
-
-```
-Phase 1 (Analysis) is entirely optional. All workflows are optional or recommended:
-  - brainstorm-project - optional
-  - research - optional
-  - product-brief - RECOMMENDED (but not required)
-
-The next TRULY REQUIRED step is:
-  - PRD (Product Requirements Document) in Phase 2 - Planning
-  - Agent: pm
-  - Command: prd
-```
-
-#### How to Run Workflows in Phases 1-3
-
-When an agent tells you to run a workflow (like `prd`):
-
-1. **Start a new chat** with the specified agent (e.g., PM) - See [docs/ide-info](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/main/docs/ide-info) for your IDE's specific instructions
-2. **Wait for the menu** to appear
-3. **Tell the agent** to run it using any of these formats:
-   - Type the shorthand: `*prd`
-   - Say it naturally: "Let's create a new PRD"
-   - Select the menu number for "create-prd"
-
-The agents in V6 are very good with fuzzy menu matching!
-
-#### Quick Reference: Agent → Document Mapping
-
-For v4 users or those who prefer to skip workflow-status guidance:
-
-- **Analyst** → Brainstorming, Product Brief
-- **PM** → PRD (BMad Method/Enterprise tracks) OR tech-spec (Quick Flow track)
-- **UX-Designer** → UX Design Document (if UI-heavy)
-- **Architect** → Architecture (BMad Method/Enterprise tracks)
-
-#### Phase 2: Planning - Creating the PRD
-
-**For BMad Method and Enterprise tracks:**
-
-1. Load the **PM agent** in a new chat
-2. Tell it to run the PRD workflow
-3. Once complete, you'll have:
-   - **PRD.md** - Your Product Requirements Document
-   - Epic breakdown
-
-**For Quick Flow track:**
-
-- Use **tech-spec** instead of PRD (no architecture needed)
-
-#### Phase 2 (Optional): UX Design
-
-If your project has a user interface:
-
-1. Load the **UX-Designer agent** in a new chat
-2. Tell it to run the UX design workflow
-3. After completion, run validations to ensure the Epics file stays updated
-
-#### Phase 3: Architecture
-
-**For BMad Method and Enterprise tracks:**
-
-1. Load the **Architect agent** in a new chat
-2. Tell it to run the create-architecture workflow
-3. After completion, run validations to ensure the Epics file stays updated
-
-#### Phase 3: Solutioning Gate Check (Highly Recommended)
-
-Once architecture is complete:
-
-1. Load the **Architect agent** in a new chat
-2. Tell it to run "solutioning-gate-check"
-3. This validates cohesion across all your planning documents (PRD, UX, Architecture, Epics)
-4. This was called the "PO Master Checklist" in v4
-
-**Why run this?** It ensures all your planning assets align properly before you start building.
-
-#### Context Management Tips
-
-- **Use 200k+ context models** for best results (Claude Sonnet 4.5, GPT-4, etc.)
-- **Fresh chat for each workflow** - Brainstorming, Briefs, Research, and PRD generation are all context-intensive
-- **No document sharding needed** - Unlike v4, you don't need to split documents
-- **Web Bundles coming soon** - Will help save LLM tokens for users with limited plans
-
-### Step 3: Start Building (Phase 4 - Implementation)
-
-Once planning and architecture are complete, you'll move to Phase 4. **Important: Each workflow below should be run in a fresh chat to avoid context limitations and hallucinations.**
-
-#### 3.1 Initialize Sprint Planning
-
-1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM (Scrum Master) agent**
-2. Wait for the menu to appear
-3. Tell the agent: "Run sprint-planning"
-4. This creates your `sprint-status.yaml` file that tracks all epics and stories
-
-#### 3.2 Create Epic Context (Optional but Recommended)
-
-1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent**
-2. Wait for the menu
-3. Tell the agent: "Run epic-tech-context"
-4. This creates technical context for the current epic before drafting stories
-
-#### 3.3 Draft Your First Story
-
-1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent**
-2. Wait for the menu
-3. Tell the agent: "Run create-story"
-4. This drafts the story file from the epic
-
-#### 3.4 Add Story Context (Optional but Recommended)
-
-1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent**
-2. Wait for the menu
-3. Tell the agent: "Run story-context"
-4. This creates implementation-specific technical context for the story
-
-#### 3.5 Implement the Story
-
-1. **Start a new chat** with the **DEV agent**
-2. Wait for the menu
-3. Tell the agent: "Run dev-story"
-4. The DEV agent will implement the story and update the sprint status
-
-#### 3.6 Review the Code (Optional but Recommended)
-
-1. **Start a new chat** with the **DEV agent**
-2. Wait for the menu
-3. Tell the agent: "Run code-review"
-4. The DEV agent performs quality validation (this was called QA in v4)
-
-### Step 4: Keep Going
-
-For each subsequent story, repeat the cycle using **fresh chats** for each workflow:
-
-1. **New chat** → SM agent → "Run create-story"
-2. **New chat** → SM agent → "Run story-context"
-3. **New chat** → DEV agent → "Run dev-story"
-4. **New chat** → DEV agent → "Run code-review" (optional but recommended)
-
-After completing all stories in an epic:
-
-1. **Start a new chat** with the **SM agent**
-2. Tell the agent: "Run retrospective"
-
-**Why fresh chats?** Context-intensive workflows can cause hallucinations if you keep issuing commands in the same chat. Starting fresh ensures the agent has maximum context capacity for each workflow.
-
----
-
-## Understanding the Agents
-
-Each agent is a specialized AI persona:
-
-- **Analyst** - Initializes workflows and tracks progress
-- **PM** - Creates requirements and specifications
-- **UX-Designer** - If your project has a front end - this designer will help produce artifacts, come up with mock updates, and design a great look and feel with you giving it guidance.
-- **Architect** - Designs system architecture
-- **SM (Scrum Master)** - Manages sprints and creates stories
-- **DEV** - Implements code and reviews work
-
-## How Workflows Work
-
-1. **Load an agent** - Open the agent file in your IDE to activate it
-2. **Wait for the menu** - The agent will present its available workflows
-3. **Tell the agent what to run** - Say "Run [workflow-name]"
-4. **Follow the prompts** - The agent guides you through each step
-
-The agent creates documents, asks questions, and helps you make decisions throughout the process.
-
-## Project Tracking Files
-
-BMad creates two files to track your progress:
-
-**1. bmm-workflow-status.yaml**
-
-- Shows which phase you're in and what's next
-- Created by workflow-init
-- Updated automatically as you progress through phases
-
-**2. sprint-status.yaml** (Phase 4 only)
-
-- Tracks all your epics and stories during implementation
-- Critical for SM and DEV agents to know what to work on next
-- Created by sprint-planning workflow
-- Updated automatically as stories progress
-
-**You don't need to edit these manually** - agents update them as you work.

-## Common Questions
-
-**Q: Do I always need architecture?**
-A: Only for BMad Method and Enterprise tracks. Quick Flow projects skip straight from tech-spec to implementation.
-
-**Q: Can I change my plan later?**
-A: Yes! The SM agent has a "correct-course" workflow for handling scope changes.
-
-**Q: What if I want to brainstorm first?**
-A: Load the Analyst agent and tell it to "Run brainstorm-project" before running workflow-init.
-
-**Q: Why do I need fresh chats for each workflow?**
-A: Context-intensive workflows can cause hallucinations if run in sequence. Fresh chats ensure maximum context capacity.
-
-**Q: Can I skip workflow-init and workflow-status?**
-A: Yes, once you learn the flow. Use the Quick Reference in Step 2 to go directly to the workflows you need.

-# BMad Method Scale Adaptive System
-
-**Automatically adapts workflows to project complexity - from quick fixes to enterprise systems**
-
----
-
-## Overview
-
-The **Scale Adaptive System** intelligently routes projects to the right planning methodology based on complexity, not arbitrary story counts.
-
-### The Problem
-
-Traditional methodologies apply the same process to every project:
-
-- Bug fix requires full design docs
-- Enterprise system built with minimal planning
-- One-size-fits-none approach
-
-### The Solution
-
-BMad Method adapts to three distinct planning tracks:
-
-- **Quick Flow**: Tech-spec only, implement immediately
-- **BMad Method**: PRD + Architecture, structured approach
-- **Enterprise Method**: Full planning with security/devops/test
-
-**Result**: Right planning depth for every project.
-
----
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-### Three Tracks at a Glance
-
-| Track                 | Planning Depth        | Time Investment | Best For                                   |
-| --------------------- | --------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
-| **Quick Flow**        | Tech-spec only        | Hours to 1 day  | Simple features, bug fixes, clear scope    |
-| **BMad Method**       | PRD + Arch + UX       | 1-3 days        | Products, platforms, complex features      |
-| **Enterprise Method** | Method + Test/Sec/Ops | 3-7 days        | Enterprise needs, compliance, multi-tenant |
-
-### Decision Tree
-
-```mermaid
-flowchart TD
-    START{Describe your project}
-
-    START -->|Bug fix, simple feature| Q1{Scope crystal clear?}
-    START -->|Product, platform, complex| M[BMad Method<br/>PRD + Architecture]
-    START -->|Enterprise, compliance| E[Enterprise Method<br/>Extended Planning]
-
-    Q1 -->|Yes| QF[Quick Flow<br/>Tech-spec only]
-    Q1 -->|Uncertain| M
-
-    style QF fill:#bfb,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px
-    style M fill:#bbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px
-    style E fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px
-```
-
-### Quick Keywords
-
-- **Quick Flow**: fix, bug, simple, add, clear scope
-- **BMad Method**: product, platform, dashboard, complex, multiple features
-- **Enterprise Method**: enterprise, multi-tenant, compliance, security, audit
-
----
-
-## How Track Selection Works
-
-When you run `workflow-init`, it guides you through an educational choice:
-
-### 1. Description Analysis
-
-Analyzes your project description for complexity indicators and suggests an appropriate track.
-
-### 2. Educational Presentation
-
-Shows all three tracks with:
-
-- Time investment
-- Planning approach
-- Benefits and trade-offs
-- AI agent support level
-- Concrete examples
-
-### 3. Honest Recommendation
-
-Provides tailored recommendation based on:
-
-- Complexity keywords
-- Greenfield vs brownfield
-- User's description
-
-### 4. User Choice
-
-You choose the track that fits your situation. The system guides but never forces.
-
-**Example:**
-
-```
-workflow-init: "Based on 'Add user dashboard with analytics', I recommend BMad Method.
-               This involves multiple features and system design. The PRD + Architecture
-               gives AI agents complete context for better code generation."
-
-You: "Actually, this is simpler than it sounds. Quick Flow."
-
-workflow-init: "Got it! Using Quick Flow with tech-spec."
-```
-
----
-
-## The Three Tracks
-
-### Track 1: Quick Flow
-
-**Definition**: Fast implementation with tech-spec planning.
-
-**Time**: Hours to 1 day of planning
-
-**Planning Docs**:
-
-- Tech-spec.md (implementation-focused)
-- Story files (1-15 typically, auto-detects epic structure)
-
-**Workflow Path**:
-
-```
-(Brownfield: document-project first if needed)
-↓
-Tech-Spec → Implement
-```
-
-**Use For**:
-
-- Bug fixes
-- Simple features
-- Enhancements with clear scope
-- Quick additions
-
-**Story Count**: Typically 1-15 stories (guidance, not rule)
-
-**Example**: "Fix authentication token expiration bug"
-
-**AI Agent Support**: Basic - minimal context provided
-
-**Trade-off**: Less planning = higher rework risk if complexity emerges
-
----
-
-### Track 2: BMad Method (RECOMMENDED)
-
-**Definition**: Full product + system design planning.
-
-**Time**: 1-3 days of planning
-
-**Planning Docs**:
-
-- PRD.md (product requirements)
-- Architecture.md (system design)
-- UX Design (if UI components)
-- Epic breakdown with stories
-
-**Workflow Path**:
-
-```
-(Brownfield: document-project first if needed)
-↓
-(Optional: Analysis phase - brainstorm, research, product brief)
-↓
-PRD → (Optional UX) → Architecture → Gate Check → Implement
-```
-
-**Use For**:
-
-**Greenfield**:
-
-- Products
-- Platforms
-- Multi-feature initiatives
-
-**Brownfield**:
-
-- Complex additions (new UIs + APIs)
-- Major refactors
-- New modules
-
-**Story Count**: Typically 10-50+ stories (guidance, not rule)
-
-**Examples**:
-
-- "User dashboard with analytics and preferences"
-- "Add real-time collaboration to existing document editor"
-- "Payment integration system"
-
-**AI Agent Support**: Exceptional - complete context for coding partnership
-
-**Why Architecture for Brownfield?**
-
-Your brownfield documentation might be huge. Architecture workflow distills massive codebase context into a focused solution design specific to YOUR project. This keeps AI agents focused without getting lost in existing code.
-
-**Benefits**:
-
-- Complete AI agent context
-- Prevents architectural drift
-- Fewer surprises during implementation
-- Better code quality
-- Faster overall delivery (planning pays off)
-
----
-
-### Track 3: Enterprise Method
-
-**Definition**: Extended planning with security, devops, and test strategy.
-
-**Time**: 3-7 days of planning
-
-**Planning Docs**:
-
-- All BMad Method docs PLUS:
-- Security Architecture
-- DevOps Strategy
-- Test Strategy
-- Compliance documentation
-
-**Workflow Path**:
-
-```
-(Brownfield: document-project nearly mandatory)
-↓
-Analysis (recommended/required) → PRD → UX → Architecture
-↓
-Security Architecture → DevOps Strategy → Test Strategy
-↓
-Gate Check → Implement
-```
-
-**Use For**:
-
-- Enterprise requirements
-- Multi-tenant systems
-- Compliance needs (HIPAA, SOC2, etc.)
-- Mission-critical systems
-- Security-sensitive applications
-
-**Story Count**: Typically 30+ stories (but defined by enterprise needs, not count)
-
-**Examples**:
-
-- "Multi-tenant SaaS platform"
-- "HIPAA-compliant patient portal"
-- "Add SOC2 audit logging to enterprise app"
-
-**AI Agent Support**: Elite - comprehensive enterprise planning
-
-**Critical for Enterprise**:
-
-- Security architecture and threat modeling
-- DevOps pipeline planning
-- Comprehensive test strategy
-- Risk assessment
-- Compliance mapping
-

-
-**Note**: Story counts are GUIDANCE based on typical usage, NOT definitions of tracks.
-
----
-
-## Brownfield Projects
-
-### Critical First Step
-
-For ALL brownfield projects: Run `document-project` BEFORE planning workflows.
-
-### Why document-project is Critical
-
-**Quick Flow** uses it for:
-
-- Auto-detecting existing patterns
-- Understanding codebase structure
-- Confirming conventions
-
-**BMad Method** uses it for:
-
-- Architecture inputs (existing structure)
-- Integration design
-- Pattern consistency
-
-**Enterprise Method** uses it for:
-
-- Security analysis
-- Integration architecture
-- Risk assessment
-
-### Brownfield Workflow Pattern
-
-```mermaid
-flowchart TD
-    START([Brownfield Project])
-    CHECK{Has docs/<br/>index.md?}
-
-    START --> CHECK
-    CHECK -->|No| DOC[document-project workflow<br/>10-30 min]
-    CHECK -->|Yes| TRACK[Choose Track]
-
-    DOC --> TRACK
-    TRACK -->|Quick| QF[Tech-Spec]
-    TRACK -->|Method| M[PRD + Arch]
-    TRACK -->|Enterprise| E[PRD + Arch + Sec/Ops]

-    style TRACK fill:#bfb,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px
-```
-
----
-
-## Common Scenarios
-
-### Scenario 1: Bug Fix (Quick Flow)
-
-**Input**: "Fix email validation bug in login form"
-
-**Detection**: Keywords "fix", "bug"
-
-**Track**: Quick Flow
-
-**Workflow**:
-
-1. (Optional) Brief analysis

-**Detection**: Keywords "platform", multiple subsystems
-
-**Track**: BMad Method
-
-**Workflow**:
-
-1. Research + Product Brief
-2. Comprehensive PRD
-3. UX Design (recommended)
-4. System Architecture (required)
-5. Gate check
-6. Implement with phased approach
-
-**Time**: 3-6 weeks
-
----
-
-### Scenario 5: Brownfield Addition (BMad Method)
-
-**Input**: "Add search functionality to existing product catalog"
-
-**Detection**: Brownfield + moderate complexity
-
-**Track**: BMad Method (not Quick Flow)
-
-**Critical First Step**:
-
-1. **Run document-project** to analyze existing codebase
-
-**Then Workflow**: 2. PRD for search feature 3. Architecture (integration design - highly recommended) 4. Implement following existing patterns
-
-**Time**: 1-2 weeks
-
-**Why Method not Quick Flow?**: Integration with existing catalog system benefits from architecture planning to ensure consistency.
-
----
-
-### Scenario 6: Multi-tenant Platform (Enterprise Method)
-
-**Input**: "Add multi-tenancy to existing single-tenant SaaS platform"
-
-**Detection**: Keywords "multi-tenant", enterprise scale
-
-**Track**: Enterprise Method
-
-**Workflow**:
-
-1. Document-project (mandatory)
-2. Research (compliance, security)
-3. PRD (multi-tenancy requirements)
-4. Architecture (tenant isolation design)
-5. Security Architecture (data isolation, auth)
-6. DevOps Strategy (tenant provisioning, monitoring)
-7. Test Strategy (tenant isolation testing)
-8. Gate check
-9. Phased implementation
-
-**Time**: 3-6 months
-
----
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Document-Project First for Brownfield
-
-Always run `document-project` before starting brownfield planning. AI agents need existing codebase context.
-
-### 2. Trust the Recommendation
-
-If `workflow-init` suggests BMad Method, there's probably complexity you haven't considered. Review carefully before overriding.
-
-### 3. Start Smaller if Uncertain
-
-Uncertain between Quick Flow and Method? Start with Quick Flow. You can create PRD later if needed.
-
-### 4. Don't Skip Gate Checks
-
-For BMad Method and Enterprise, gate checks prevent costly mistakes. Invest the time.
-
-### 5. Architecture is Optional but Recommended for Brownfield
-
-Brownfield BMad Method makes architecture optional, but it's highly recommended. It distills complex codebase into focused solution design.
-
-### 6. Discovery Phase Based on Need
-
-Brainstorming and research are offered regardless of track. Use them when you need to think through the problem space.
-
-### 7. Product Brief for Greenfield Method
-
-Product Brief is only offered for greenfield BMad Method and Enterprise. It's optional but helps with strategic thinking.
-
----
-
-## Key Differences from Legacy System
-
-### Old System (Levels 0-4)
-
-- Arbitrary story count thresholds
-- Level 2 vs Level 3 based on story count
-- Confusing overlap zones (5-10 stories, 12-40 stories)
-- Tech-spec and PRD shown as conflicting options
-
-### New System (3 Tracks)
-
-- Methodology-based distinction (not story counts)
-- Story counts as guidance, not definitions
-- Clear track purposes:
-  - Quick Flow = Implementation-focused
-  - BMad Method = Product + system design
-  - Enterprise = Extended with security/ops
-- Mutually exclusive paths chosen upfront
-- Educational decision-making
-
----
-
-## Migration from Old System
-
-If you have existing projects using the old level system:
-
-- **Level 0-1** → Quick Flow
-- **Level 2-3** → BMad Method
-- **Level 4** → Enterprise Method
-
-Run `workflow-init` on existing projects to migrate to new tracking system. It detects existing planning artifacts and creates appropriate workflow tracking.

-### TEA Integration with BMad v6 Workflow
-
-TEA operates **across all four BMad phases**, unlike other agents that are phase-specific:
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>Cross-Phase Integration & Workflow Complexity</strong></summary>
-
-### Phase-Specific Agents (Standard Pattern)
-
-- **Phase 1 (Analysis)**: Analyst agent
-- **Phase 2 (Planning)**: PM agent
-- **Phase 3 (Solutioning)**: Architect agent
-- **Phase 4 (Implementation)**: SM, DEV agents
-
-### TEA: Cross-Phase Quality Agent (Unique Pattern)
-
-TEA is **the only agent that spans all phases**:
-
-```
-Phase 1 (Analysis) → [TEA not typically used]
-    ↓
-Phase 2 (Planning) → TEA: *framework, *ci, *test-design (setup)
-    ↓
-Phase 3 (Solutioning) → [TEA validates architecture testability]
-    ↓
-Phase 4 (Implementation) → TEA: *atdd, *automate, *test-review, *trace (per story)
-    ↓
-Epic/Release Gate → TEA: *nfr-assess, *trace Phase 2 (release decision)
-```
-
-### Why TEA Needs 8 Workflows
-
-**Standard agents**: 1-3 workflows per phase
-**TEA**: 8 workflows across 3+ phases
-
-| Phase       | TEA Workflows                          | Frequency        | Purpose                          |
-| ----------- | -------------------------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------- |
-| **Phase 2** | *framework, *ci, \*test-design         | Once per project | Establish quality infrastructure |
-| **Phase 4** | *atdd, *automate, *test-review, *trace | Per story/sprint | Continuous quality validation    |
-| **Release** | *nfr-assess, *trace (Phase 2: gate)    | Per epic/release | Go/no-go decision                |
-
-**Note**: `*trace` is a two-phase workflow: Phase 1 (traceability) + Phase 2 (gate decision). This reduces cognitive load while maintaining natural workflow.
-
-This complexity **requires specialized documentation** (this guide), **extensive knowledge base** (19+ fragments), and **unique architecture** (`testarch/` directory).
-
-</details>
-
-## Prerequisites and Setup
-
-1. Run the core planning workflows first:
-   - Analyst `*product-brief`
-   - Product Manager `*prd`
-   - Architect `*create-architecture`
-2. Confirm `bmad/bmm/config.yaml` defines `project_name`, `output_folder`, `dev_story_location`, and language settings.
-3. Ensure a test test framework setup exists; if not, use `*framework` command to create a test framework setup, prior to development.
-4. Skim supporting references (knowledge under `testarch/`, command workflows under `workflows/testarch/`).

-<summary>Execution Notes</summary>
-
-- Run `*framework` only once per repo or when modern harness support is missing.
-- `*framework` followed by `*ci` establishes install + pipeline; `*test-design` then handles risk scoring, mitigations, and scenario planning in one pass.
-- Use `*atdd` before coding when the team can adopt ATDD; share its checklist with the dev agent.
-- Post-implementation, keep `*trace` current, expand coverage with `*automate`, optionally review test quality with `*test-review`. For release gate, run `*trace` with Phase 2 enabled to get deployment decision.
-- Use `*test-review` after `*atdd` to validate generated tests, after `*automate` to ensure regression quality, or before gate for final audit.

-<summary>Worked Example – “Nova CRM” Greenfield Feature</summary>
-
-1. **Planning:** Analyst runs `*product-brief`; PM executes `*prd` to produce PRD and epics; Architect completes `*create-architecture` for the new module.
-2. **Setup:** TEA checks harness via `*framework`, configures `*ci`, and runs `*test-design` to capture risk/coverage plans.
-3. **Story Prep:** Scrum Master generates the story via `*create-story`; PO validates using `*solutioning-gate-check`.
-4. **Implementation:** TEA optionally runs `*atdd`; Dev implements with guidance from failing tests and the plan.
-5. **Post-Dev and Release:** TEA runs `*automate`, optionally `*test-review` to audit test quality, re-runs `*trace` with Phase 2 enabled to generate both traceability and gate decision.

-<summary>Execution Notes</summary>
-
-- Lead with `*trace` so remediation plans target true coverage gaps. Ensure `*framework` and `*ci` are in place early in the engagement; if the brownfield lacks them, run those setup steps immediately after refreshing context.
-- `*test-design` should highlight regression hotspots, mitigations, and P0 scenarios.
-- Use `*atdd` when stories benefit from ATDD; otherwise proceed to implementation and rely on post-dev automation.
-- After development, expand coverage with `*automate`, optionally review test quality with `*test-review`, re-run `*trace` (Phase 2 for gate decision). Run `*nfr-assess` now if non-functional risks weren't addressed earlier.
-- Use `*test-review` to validate existing brownfield tests or audit new tests before gate.
-- Product Owner `*solutioning-gate-check` confirms the team has artifacts before handoff or release.

-<summary>Worked Example – “Atlas Payments” Brownfield Story</summary>
-
-1. **Context Refresh:** Analyst reruns `*product-brief`; PM executes `*prd` to update PRD, analysis, and `epics.md`; Architect triggers `*create-architecture` capturing legacy payment flows.
-2. **Baseline Coverage:** TEA executes `*trace` to record current coverage in `docs/qa/assessments/atlas-payment-trace.md`.
-3. **Risk and Design:** `*test-design` flags settlement edge cases, plans mitigations, and allocates new API/E2E scenarios with P0 priorities.
-4. **Story Prep:** Scrum Master generates `stories/story-1.1.md` via `*create-story`, automatically pulling updated context.
-5. **ATDD First:** TEA runs `*atdd`, producing failing Playwright specs under `tests/e2e/payments/` plus an implementation checklist.
-6. **Implementation:** Dev pairs with the checklist/tests to deliver the story.
-7. **Post-Implementation:** TEA applies `*automate`, optionally `*test-review` to audit test quality, re-runs `*trace` with Phase 2 enabled, performs `*nfr-assess` to validate SLAs. The `*trace` Phase 2 output marks PASS with follow-ups.

-
-- Use `*atdd` for every story when feasible so acceptance tests lead implementation in regulated environments.
-- `*ci` scaffolds selective testing scripts, burn-in jobs, caching, and notifications for long-running suites.
-- Enforce `*test-review` per story or sprint to maintain quality standards and ensure compliance with testing best practices.
-- Prior to release, rerun coverage (`*trace`, `*automate`), perform final quality audit with `*test-review`, and formalize the decision with `*trace` Phase 2 (gate decision); store everything for audits. Call `*nfr-assess` here if compliance/performance requirements weren't captured during planning.

-
-1. **Strategic Planning:** Analyst/PM/Architect complete PRD, epics, and architecture using the standard workflows.
-2. **Quality Planning:** TEA runs `*framework`, `*test-design`, and `*nfr-assess` to establish mitigations, coverage, and NFR targets.
-3. **Pipeline Setup:** TEA configures CI via `*ci` with selective execution scripts.

-<summary><strong>Optional Playwright MCP Enhancements</strong></summary>
-
-**Two Playwright MCP servers** (actively maintained, continuously updated):
-
-- `playwright` - Browser automation (`npx @playwright/mcp@latest`)
-- `playwright-test` - Test runner with failure analysis (`npx playwright run-test-mcp-server`)
-
-**How MCP Enhances TEA Workflows**:
-
-MCP provides additional capabilities on top of TEA's default AI-based approach:
-
-1. `*test-design`:
-   - Default: Analysis + documentation
-   - **+ MCP**: Interactive UI discovery with `browser_navigate`, `browser_click`, `browser_snapshot`, behavior observation
-
-   Benefit:Discover actual functionality, edge cases, undocumented features
-
-2. `*atdd`, `*automate`:
-   - Default: Infers selectors and interactions from requirements and knowledge fragments
-   - **+ MCP**: Generates tests **then** verifies with `generator_setup_page`, `browser_*` tools, validates against live app
-
-   Benefit: Accurate selectors from real DOM, verified behavior, refined test code
-
-3. `*automate`:
-   - Default: Pattern-based fixes from error messages + knowledge fragments
-   - **+ MCP**: Pattern fixes **enhanced with** `browser_snapshot`, `browser_console_messages`, `browser_network_requests`, `browser_generate_locator`
-
-   Benefit: Visual failure context, live DOM inspection, root cause discovery
-
-**Config example**:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "playwright": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["@playwright/mcp@latest"]
-    },
-    "playwright-test": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["playwright", "run-test-mcp-server"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**To disable**: Set `tea_use_mcp_enhancements: false` in `bmad/bmm/config.yaml` OR remove MCPs from IDE config.

-## Why TEA is Architecturally Different
-
-TEA is the only BMM agent with its own top-level module directory (`bmm/testarch/`). This intentional design pattern reflects TEA's unique requirements:
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>Unique Architecture Pattern & Rationale</strong></summary>
-
-### Directory Structure
-
-```
-src/modules/bmm/
-├── agents/
-│   └── tea.agent.yaml          # Agent definition (standard location)
-├── workflows/
-│   └── testarch/               # TEA workflows (standard location)
-└── testarch/                   # Knowledge base (UNIQUE!)

-    └── README.md               # This guide
-```
-
-### Why TEA Gets Special Treatment
-
-TEA uniquely requires **extensive domain knowledge** (21 fragments, 12,821 lines: test patterns, CI/CD, fixtures, quality practices, healing strategies), a **centralized reference system** (`tea-index.csv` for on-demand fragment loading), **cross-cutting concerns** (domain-specific patterns vs project-specific artifacts like PRDs/stories), and **optional MCP integration** (healing, exploratory, verification modes). Other BMM agents don't require this architecture.

-## Setup and Installation Issues
-
-### Problem: BMM not found after installation
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- `bmad` command not recognized
-- Agent files not accessible
-- Workflows don't load
-
-**Solution:**
-
-```bash
-# Check if BMM is installed
-ls bmad/
-
-# If not present, run installer
-npx bmad-method@alpha install
-
-# For fresh install
-npx bmad-method@alpha install --skip-version-prompt
-```
-
-### Problem: Agents don't have menu
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Load agent file but no menu appears
-- Agent doesn't respond to commands
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. Ensure you're loading the correct agent file path: `bmad/bmm/agents/[agent-name].md`
-2. Wait a few seconds for agent to initialize
-3. Try asking "show menu" or "help"
-4. Check IDE supports Markdown rendering with context
-5. For Claude Code: Ensure agent file is open in chat context
-
-### Problem: Workflows not found
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Agent says workflow doesn't exist
-- Menu shows workflow but won't run
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. Check workflow exists: `ls bmad/bmm/workflows/`
-2. Verify agent has access to workflow (check agent's workflow list)
-3. Try using menu number instead of workflow name
-4. Restart chat with agent in fresh session

-## Level Detection Problems
-
-### Problem: workflow-init suggests wrong level
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Detects Level 3 but you only need Level 1
-- Suggests Level 1 but project is actually Level 2
-- Can't figure out appropriate level
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Override the suggestion** - workflow-init always asks for confirmation, just say "no" and choose correct level
-2. **Be specific in description** - Use level keywords when describing:
-   - "fix bug" → Level 0
-   - "add small feature" → Level 1
-   - "build dashboard" → Level 2
-3. **Manual override** - You can always switch levels later if needed
-
-**Example:**
-
-```
-workflow-init: "Level 3 project?"
-You: "No, this is just adding OAuth login - Level 1"
-workflow-init: "Got it, creating Level 1 workflow"
-```
-
-### Problem: Project level unclear
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Between Level 1 and Level 2
-- Not sure if architecture needed
-- Story count uncertain
-
-**Solution:**
-**When in doubt, start smaller:**
-
-- Choose Level 1 instead of Level 2
-- You can always run `create-prd` later if needed
-- Level 1 is faster, less overhead
-- Easy to upgrade, hard to downgrade
-
-**Decision criteria:**
-
-- Single epic with related stories? → Level 1
-- Multiple independent epics? → Level 2
-- Need product-level planning? → Level 2
-- Just need technical plan? → Level 1
-
-### Problem: Old planning docs influencing level detection
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Old Level 3 PRD in folder
-- Working on new Level 0 bug fix
-- workflow-init suggests Level 3
-
-**Solution:**
-workflow-init asks: "Is this work in progress or previous effort?"
-
-- Answer: "Previous effort"
-- Then describe your NEW work clearly
-- System will detect level based on NEW work, not old artifacts
-
----
-
-## Workflow Issues
-
-### Problem: Workflow fails or hangs
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Workflow starts but doesn't complete
-- Agent stops responding mid-workflow
-- Progress stalls
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Check context limits** - Start fresh chat for complex workflows
-2. **Verify prerequisites**:
-   - Phase 2 needs Phase 1 complete (if used)
-   - Phase 3 needs Phase 2 complete
-   - Phase 4 needs Phase 3 complete (if Level 3-4)
-3. **Restart workflow** - Load agent in new chat and restart
-4. **Check status file** - Verify `bmm-workflow-status.md` or `sprint-status.yaml` is present and valid
-
-### Problem: Agent says "workflow not found"
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Request workflow by name
-- Agent doesn't recognize it
-- Menu doesn't show workflow
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. Check spelling/format - Use exact workflow name or menu shortcut (*prd not *PRD)
-2. Verify agent has workflow:
-   - PM agent: prd, tech-spec
-   - Architect agent: create-architecture, validate-architecture
-   - SM agent: sprint-planning, create-story, story-context
-3. Try menu number instead of name
-4. Check you're using correct agent for workflow
-
-### Problem: Sprint-planning workflow fails
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Can't create sprint-status.yaml
-- Epics not extracted from files
-- Status file empty or incorrect
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Verify epic files exist**:
-   - Level 1: tech-spec with epic
-   - Level 2-4: epics.md or sharded epic files
-2. **Check file format**:
-   - Epic files should be valid Markdown
-   - Epic headers should be clear (## Epic Name)
-3. **Run in Phase 4 only** - Ensure Phase 2/3 complete first
-4. **Check file paths** - Epic files should be in correct output folder
-
-### Problem: story-context generates empty or wrong context
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Context file created but has no useful content
-- Context doesn't reference existing code
-- Missing technical guidance
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Run epic-tech-context first** - story-context builds on epic context
-2. **Check story file exists** - Verify story was created by create-story
-3. **For brownfield**:
-   - Ensure document-project was run
-   - Verify docs/index.md exists with codebase context
-4. **Try regenerating** - Sometimes needs fresh attempt with more specific story details
-
----
-
-## Context and Documentation Issues
-
-### Problem: AI agents lack codebase understanding (Brownfield)
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Suggestions don't align with existing patterns
-- Ignores available components
-- Proposes approaches that conflict with architecture
-- Doesn't reference existing code
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Run document-project** - Critical for brownfield projects
-   ```
-   Load Analyst agent → run document-project
-   Choose scan level: Deep (recommended for PRD prep)
-   ```
-2. **Verify docs/index.md exists** - This is master entry point for AI agents
-3. **Check documentation completeness**:
-   - Review generated docs/index.md
-   - Ensure key systems are documented
-4. **Run deep-dive on specific areas** if needed
-
-### Problem: Have documentation but agents can't find it
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- README.md, ARCHITECTURE.md exist
-- AI agents still ask questions answered in docs
-- No docs/index.md file
-
-**Solution:**
-**Option 1: Quick fix (2-5min)**
-Run `index-docs` task:
-
-- Located at `bmad/core/tasks/index-docs.xml`
-- Scans existing docs and generates index.md
-- Lightweight, just creates navigation
-
-**Option 2: Comprehensive (10-30min)**
-Run document-project workflow:
-
-- Discovers existing docs in Step 2
-- Generates NEW AI-friendly documentation from codebase
-- Creates index.md linking to BOTH existing and new docs
-
-**Why this matters:** AI agents need structured entry point (index.md) to navigate docs efficiently.
-
-### Problem: document-project takes too long
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Exhaustive scan running for hours
-- Impatient to start planning
-
-**Solution:**
-**Choose appropriate scan level:**
-
-- **Quick (2-5min)** - Pattern analysis, no source reading - Good for initial overview
-- **Deep (10-30min)** - Reads critical paths - **Recommended for most brownfield projects**
-- **Exhaustive (30-120min)** - Reads all files - Only for migration planning or complete understanding
-
-For most brownfield projects, **Deep scan is sufficient**.
-

-
-## Implementation Issues
-
-### Problem: Existing tests breaking (Brownfield)
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Regression test failures
-- Previously working functionality broken
-- Integration tests failing
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Review changes against existing patterns**:
-   - Check if new code follows existing conventions
-   - Verify API contracts unchanged (unless intentionally versioned)
-2. **Run test-review workflow** (TEA agent):
-   - Analyzes test coverage
-   - Identifies regression risks
-   - Suggests fixes
-3. **Add regression testing to DoD**:
-   - All existing tests must pass
-   - Add integration tests for new code
-4. **Consider feature flags** for gradual rollout
-
-### Problem: Story takes much longer than estimated
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Story estimated 4 hours, took 12 hours
-- Acceptance criteria harder than expected
-- Hidden complexity discovered
-
-**Solution:**
-**This is normal!** Estimates are estimates. To handle:
-
-1. **Continue until DoD met** - Don't compromise quality
-2. **Document learnings in retrospective**:
-   - What caused the overrun?
-   - What should we watch for next time?
-3. **Consider splitting story** if it's truly two stories
-4. **Adjust future estimates** based on this data
-
-**Don't stress about estimate accuracy** - use them for learning, not judgment.
-
-### Problem: Integration points unclear
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Not sure how to connect new code to existing
-- Unsure which files to modify
-- Multiple possible integration approaches
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **For brownfield**:
-   - Ensure document-project captured existing architecture
-   - Review architecture docs before implementing
-2. **Check story-context** - Should document integration points
-3. **In tech-spec/architecture** - Explicitly document:
-   - Which existing modules to modify
-   - What APIs/services to integrate with
-   - Data flow between new and existing code
-4. **Run integration-planning workflow** (Level 3-4):
-   - Architect agent creates integration strategy
-
-### Problem: Inconsistent patterns being introduced
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- New code style doesn't match existing
-- Different architectural approach
-- Not following team conventions
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Check convention detection** (Quick Spec Flow):
-   - Should detect existing patterns
-   - Asks for confirmation before proceeding
-2. **Review documentation** - Ensure document-project captured patterns
-3. **Use story-context** - Injects pattern guidance per story
-4. **Add to code-review checklist**:
-   - Pattern adherence
-   - Convention consistency
-   - Style matching
-5. **Run retrospective** to identify pattern deviations early
-
----
-
-## File and Path Issues
-
-### Problem: Output files in wrong location
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- PRD created in wrong folder
-- Story files not where expected
-- Documentation scattered
-
-**Solution:**
-Check `bmad/bmm/config.yaml` for configured paths:
-
-```yaml
-output_folder: '{project-root}/docs'
-dev_story_location: '{project-root}/docs/stories'
-```
-
-Default locations:
-
-- Planning docs (PRD, epics, architecture): `{output_folder}/`
-- Stories: `{dev_story_location}/`
-- Status files: `{output_folder}/bmm-workflow-status.md`, `{output_folder}/sprint-status.yaml`
-
-To change locations, edit config.yaml then re-run workflows.
-
-### Problem: Can't find status file
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- workflow-status says no status file
-- Can't track progress
-- Lost place in workflow
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Check default location**: `docs/bmm-workflow-status.md`
-2. **If missing, reinitialize**:
-   ```
-   Load Analyst agent → run workflow-init
-   ```
-3. **For Phase 4**: Look for `sprint-status.yaml` in same folder as PRD
-4. **Search for it**:
-   ```bash
-   find . -name "bmm-workflow-status.md"
-   find . -name "sprint-status.yaml"
-   ```
-
-### Problem: Sprint-status.yaml not updating
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Workflows complete but status unchanged
-- Stories stuck in old status
-- Epic status not progressing
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Manual update required** - Most status changes are manual:
-   ```yaml
-   stories:
-     - id: epic-1-story-1
-       status: done # Change this manually
-   ```
-2. **Some workflows auto-update**:
-   - sprint-planning creates file
-   - epic-tech-context changes epic to "contexted"
-   - create-story changes story to "drafted"
-   - story-context changes to "ready-for-dev"
-   - dev-story may auto-update (check workflow)
-3. **Re-run sprint-planning** to resync if needed
-
----
-
-## Agent Behavior Issues
-
-### Problem: Agent provides vague or generic responses
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- "Use appropriate framework"
-- "Follow best practices"
-- Generic advice without specifics
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Provide more context** - Be specific in your description:
-   - "Add OAuth using passport.js to Express server"
-   - Not: "Add authentication"
-2. **For brownfield**:
-   - Ensure document-project was run
-   - Agent needs codebase context for specific advice
-3. **Reference existing docs**:
-   - "Based on the existing auth system in UserService..."
-4. **Start fresh chat** - Context overload can cause generic responses
-
-### Problem: Agent hallucinating or making up information
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- References files that don't exist
-- Suggests APIs that aren't in your stack
-- Creates imaginary requirements
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Use fresh chat** - Context overflow main cause of hallucinations
-2. **Provide concrete constraints**:
-   - "We use Express 4.18.2, not Next.js"
-   - "Our database is PostgreSQL, not MongoDB"
-3. **For brownfield**:
-   - Document-project provides factual grounding
-   - Agent sees actual code, not assumptions
-4. **Correct immediately**:
-   - "No, we don't have UserService, we have AuthenticationModule"
-
-### Problem: Agent won't follow instructions
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Ignores specific requests
-- Does something different than asked
-- Doesn't respect constraints
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Be more explicit** - Agents respond to clear, specific instructions:
-   - "Use EXACTLY these three steps..."
-   - "Do NOT include database migrations in this story"
-2. **Check agent capabilities** - Agent might not have access to requested workflow
-3. **Try different phrasing** - Rephrase request to be more direct
-4. **Use menu system** - Numbers are clearer than text commands
-
----
-
-## Integration Issues (Brownfield)
-
-### Problem: New code conflicts with existing architecture
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Integration approach doesn't fit existing structure
-- Would require major refactoring
-- Conflicts with established patterns
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Check if document-project was run** - Agents need architecture context
-2. **Review existing architecture docs**:
-   - Read docs/architecture.md (from document-project)
-   - Understand current system design
-3. **For Level 3-4**:
-   - Run validate-architecture workflow before planning
-   - Use integration-planning workflow
-4. **Explicitly document integration strategy** in architecture:
-   - How new components fit existing structure
-   - What modifications needed to existing code
-   - Migration path if changing patterns
-
-### Problem: Breaking changes to existing APIs
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Changing API breaks consumers
-- Downstream services affected
-- Need backward compatibility
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Identify all API consumers** (document-project should show this)
-2. **Plan versioning strategy**:
-   - API v1 (existing) + v2 (new)
-   - Deprecation timeline
-3. **Use feature flags** for gradual rollout
-4. **Document migration guide** for API consumers
-5. **Add to testing strategy**:
-   - Existing consumers still work (v1)
-   - New functionality works (v2)
-
-### Problem: Data migration required
-
-**Symptoms:**
-
-- Schema changes needed
-- Existing data needs transformation
-- Risk of data loss
-
-**Solution:**
-
-1. **Create explicit migration strategy** in architecture:
-   - Forward migration (old → new schema)
-   - Rollback plan (new → old schema)
-   - Data validation approach
-2. **Test migrations thoroughly**:
-   - On copy of production data
-   - Measure performance impact
-3. **Plan rollout**:
-   - Staging environment first
-   - Gradual production rollout
-   - Monitoring for issues
-4. **Document in tech-spec/architecture**:
-   - Migration scripts
-   - Rollback procedures
-   - Expected downtime
-

-
-**Cause:** Haven't run workflow-init yet
-**Fix:** Load Analyst agent → run workflow-init
-
-### "Epic file not found"
-
-**Cause:** PRD/epics not created, or wrong path
-**Fix:** Verify PRD/epics exist in output folder, check config.yaml paths
-
-### "Story not in sprint-status.yaml"
-
-**Cause:** Sprint-planning not run, or story file not created
-**Fix:** Run sprint-planning workflow, verify story files exist
-
-### "Documentation insufficient for brownfield"
-
-**Cause:** No docs/index.md or document-project not run
-**Fix:** Run document-project workflow with Deep scan
-
-### "Level detection failed"
-
-**Cause:** Ambiguous project description
-**Fix:** Be more specific, use level keywords (fix, feature, platform, etc.)
-
-### "Context generation failed"
-
-**Cause:** Missing prerequisites (epic context, story file, or docs)
-**Fix:** Verify epic-tech-context run, story file exists, docs present
-
----
-
-## Prevention Tips
-
-**Avoid common issues before they happen:**
-
-1. ✅ **Always run document-project for brownfield** - Saves hours of context issues later
-2. ✅ **Use fresh chats for complex workflows** - Prevents hallucinations and context overflow
-3. ✅ **Verify files exist before running workflows** - Check PRD, epics, stories are present
-4. ✅ **Read agent menu before requesting workflows** - Confirm agent has the workflow
-5. ✅ **Start with smaller level if unsure** - Easy to upgrade (Level 1 → 2), hard to downgrade
-6. ✅ **Keep status files updated** - Manual updates when needed, don't let them drift
-7. ✅ **Run retrospectives after epics** - Catch issues early, improve next epic
-8. ✅ **Follow phase sequence** - Don't skip required phases (Phase 2 before 3, 3 before 4)

-# Decision Architecture Workflow - Technical Reference
-
-**Module:** BMM (BMAD Method Module)
-**Type:** Solutioning Workflow
-
----
-
-## Overview
-
-The Decision Architecture workflow is a complete reimagining of how architectural decisions are made in the BMAD Method. Instead of template-driven documentation, this workflow facilitates an intelligent conversation that produces a **decision-focused architecture document** optimized for preventing AI agent conflicts during implementation.
-
----
-
-## Core Philosophy
-
-**The Problem**: When multiple AI agents implement different parts of a system, they make conflicting technical decisions leading to incompatible implementations.
-
-**The Solution**: A "consistency contract" that documents all critical technical decisions upfront, ensuring every agent follows the same patterns and uses the same technologies.
-
----
-
-## Key Features
-
-### 1. Starter Template Intelligence ⭐ NEW
-
-- Discovers relevant starter templates (create-next-app, create-t3-app, etc.)
-- Considers UX requirements when selecting templates (animations, accessibility, etc.)
-- Searches for current CLI options and defaults
-- Documents decisions made BY the starter template
-- Makes remaining architectural decisions around the starter foundation
-- First implementation story becomes "initialize with starter command"
-
-### 2. Adaptive Facilitation
-
-- Adjusts conversation style based on user skill level (beginner/intermediate/expert)
-- Experts get rapid, technical discussions
-- Beginners receive education and protection from complexity
-- Everyone produces the same high-quality output
-
-### 3. Dynamic Version Verification
-
-- NEVER trusts hardcoded version numbers
-- Uses WebSearch to find current stable versions
-- Verifies versions during the conversation
-- Documents only verified, current versions
-
-### 4. Intelligent Discovery
-
-- No rigid project type templates
-- Analyzes PRD to identify which decisions matter for THIS project
-- Uses knowledge base of decisions and patterns
-- Scales to infinite project types
-
-### 5. Collaborative Decision Making
-
-- Facilitates discussion for each critical decision
-- Presents options with trade-offs
-- Integrates advanced elicitation for innovative approaches
-- Ensures decisions are coherent and compatible
-
-### 6. Consistent Output
-
-- Structured decision collection during conversation
-- Strict document generation from collected decisions
-- Validated against hard requirements
-- Optimized for AI agent consumption
-
----
-
-## Workflow Structure
-
-```
-Step 0: Validate workflow and extract project configuration
-Step 0.5: Validate workflow sequencing
-Step 1: Load PRD and understand project context

-## How It's Different from Old architecture
-
-| Aspect               | Old Workflow                                 | New Workflow                                    |
-| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
-| **Approach**         | Template-driven                              | Conversation-driven                             |
-| **Project Types**    | 11 rigid types with 22+ files                | Infinite flexibility with intelligent discovery |
-| **User Interaction** | Output sections with "Continue?"             | Collaborative decision facilitation             |
-| **Skill Adaptation** | One-size-fits-all                            | Adapts to beginner/intermediate/expert          |
-| **Decision Making**  | Late in process (Step 5)                     | Upfront and central focus                       |
-| **Output**           | Multiple documents including faux tech-specs | Single decision-focused architecture            |
-| **Time**             | Confusing and slow                           | 30-90 minutes depending on skill level          |
-| **Elicitation**      | Never used                                   | Integrated at decision points                   |
-

-
-## Expected Inputs
-
-- **PRD** (Product Requirements Document) with:
-  - Functional Requirements
-  - Non-Functional Requirements
-  - Performance and compliance needs
-
-- **Epics** file with:
-  - User stories
-  - Acceptance criteria
-  - Dependencies
-
-- **UX Spec** (Optional but valuable) with:
-  - Interface designs and interaction patterns
-  - Accessibility requirements (WCAG levels)
-  - Animation and transition needs
-  - Platform-specific UI requirements
-  - Performance expectations for interactions
-
----
-
-## Output Document
-
-A single `architecture.md` file containing:
-
-- Executive summary (2-3 sentences)
-- Project initialization command (if using starter template)
-- Decision summary table with verified versions and epic mapping
-- Complete project structure
-- Integration specifications
-- Consistency rules for AI agents
-
----
-
-## How Novel Pattern Design Works
-
-Step 7 handles unique or complex patterns that need to be INVENTED:
-
-### 1. Detection
-
-The workflow analyzes the PRD for concepts that don't have standard solutions:
-
-- Novel interaction patterns (e.g., "swipe to match" when Tinder doesn't exist)
-- Complex multi-epic workflows (e.g., "viral invitation system")
-- Unique data relationships (e.g., "social graph" before Facebook)
-- New paradigms (e.g., "ephemeral messages" before Snapchat)
-
-### 2. Design Collaboration
-
-Instead of just picking technologies, the workflow helps DESIGN the solution:
-
-- Identifies the core problem to solve
-- Explores different approaches with the user
-- Documents how components interact
-- Creates sequence diagrams for complex flows
-- Uses elicitation to find innovative solutions
-
-### 3. Documentation
-
-Novel patterns become part of the architecture with:
-
-- Pattern name and purpose
-- Component interactions
-- Data flow diagrams
-- Which epics/stories are affected
-- Implementation guidance for agents
-
-### 4. Example
-
-```
-PRD: "Users can create 'circles' of friends with overlapping membership"
-↓
-Workflow detects: This is a novel social structure pattern
-↓
-Designs with user: Circle membership model, permission cascading, UI patterns
-↓
-Documents: "Circle Pattern" with component design and data flow
-↓
-All agents understand how to implement circle-related features consistently
-```
-
----
-
-## How Implementation Patterns Work
-
-Step 8 prevents agent conflicts by defining patterns for consistency:
-
-### 1. The Core Principle
-
-> "Any time multiple agents might make the SAME decision DIFFERENTLY, that's a pattern to capture"
-
-The LLM asks: "What could an agent encounter where they'd have to guess?"
-
-### 2. Pattern Categories (principles, not prescriptions)
-
-- **Naming**: How things are named (APIs, database fields, files)
-- **Structure**: How things are organized (folders, modules, layers)
-- **Format**: How data is formatted (JSON structures, responses)
-- **Communication**: How components talk (events, messages, protocols)
-- **Lifecycle**: How states change (workflows, transitions)
-- **Location**: Where things go (URLs, paths, storage)
-- **Consistency**: Cross-cutting concerns (dates, errors, logs)
-
-### 3. LLM Intelligence
-
-- Uses the principle to identify patterns beyond the 7 categories
-- Figures out what specific patterns matter for chosen tech
-- Only asks about patterns that could cause conflicts
-- Skips obvious patterns that the tech choice determines
-
-### 4. Example
-
-```
-Tech chosen: REST API + PostgreSQL + React
-↓

-
-## How Starter Templates Work
-
-When the workflow detects a project type that has a starter template:
-
-1. **Discovery**: Searches for relevant starter templates based on PRD
-2. **Investigation**: Looks up current CLI options and defaults
-3. **Presentation**: Shows user what the starter provides
-4. **Integration**: Documents starter decisions as "PROVIDED BY STARTER"
-5. **Continuation**: Only asks about decisions NOT made by starter
-6. **Documentation**: Includes exact initialization command in architecture
-
-### Example Flow
-
-```
-PRD says: "Next.js web application with authentication"
-↓
-Workflow finds: create-next-app and create-t3-app
-↓
-User chooses: create-t3-app (includes auth setup)
-↓
-Starter provides: Next.js, TypeScript, tRPC, Prisma, NextAuth, Tailwind
-↓
-Workflow only asks about: Database choice, deployment target, additional services
-↓
-First story becomes: "npx create t3-app@latest my-app --trpc --nextauth --prisma"
-```
-
----
-
-## Usage
-
-```bash
-# In your BMAD-enabled project
-workflow architecture
-```
-
-The AI agent will:
-
-1. Load your PRD and epics
-2. Identify critical decisions needed
-3. Facilitate discussion on each decision
-4. Generate a comprehensive architecture document
-5. Validate completeness
-
----
-
-## Design Principles
-
-1. **Facilitation over Prescription** - Guide users to good decisions rather than imposing templates
-2. **Intelligence over Templates** - Use AI understanding rather than rigid structures
-3. **Decisions over Details** - Focus on what prevents agent conflicts, not implementation minutiae
-4. **Adaptation over Uniformity** - Meet users where they are while ensuring quality output
-5. **Collaboration over Output** - The conversation matters as much as the document
-
----
-
-## For Developers
-
-This workflow assumes:
-
-- Single developer + AI agents (not teams)
-- Speed matters (decisions in minutes, not days)
-- AI agents need clear constraints to prevent conflicts
-- The architecture document is for agents, not humans
-
----
-
-## Migration from architecture
-
-Projects using the old `architecture` workflow should:
-
-1. Complete any in-progress architecture work
-2. Use `architecture` for new projects
-3. The old workflow remains available but is deprecated
-
----

-
-## How to Invoke
-
-```bash
-workflow document-project
-```
-
-Or from BMAD CLI:
-
-```bash
-/bmad:bmm:workflows:document-project
-```
-
----
-
-## Scan Levels (NEW in v1.2.0)
-
-Choose the right scan depth for your needs:
-
-### 1. Quick Scan (Default)
-
-**Duration:** 2-5 minutes
-**What it does:** Pattern-based analysis without reading source files
-**Reads:** Config files, package manifests, directory structure, README
-**Use when:**
-
-- You need a fast project overview
-- Initial understanding of project structure
-- Planning next steps before deeper analysis
-
-**Does NOT read:** Source code files (_.js, _.ts, _.py, _.go, etc.)
-
-### 2. Deep Scan
-
-**Duration:** 10-30 minutes
-**What it does:** Reads files in critical directories based on project type
-**Reads:** Files in critical paths defined by documentation requirements
-**Use when:**
-
-- Creating comprehensive documentation for brownfield PRD
-- Need detailed analysis of key areas
-- Want balance between depth and speed
-
-**Example:** For a web app, reads controllers/, models/, components/, but not every utility file
-
-### 3. Exhaustive Scan
-
-**Duration:** 30-120 minutes
-**What it does:** Reads ALL source files in project
-**Reads:** Every source file (excludes node_modules, dist, build, .git)
-**Use when:**
-
-- Complete project analysis needed
-- Migration planning requires full understanding
-- Detailed audit of entire codebase
-- Deep technical debt assessment
-
-**Note:** Deep-dive mode ALWAYS uses exhaustive scan (no choice)
-
----
-
-## Resumability (NEW in v1.2.0)
-
-The workflow can be interrupted and resumed without losing progress:
-
-- **State Tracking:** Progress saved in `project-scan-report.json`
-- **Auto-Detection:** Workflow detects incomplete runs (<24 hours old)
-- **Resume Prompt:** Choose to resume or start fresh
-- **Step-by-Step:** Resume from exact step where interrupted
-- **Archiving:** Old state files automatically archived
-
-**Example Resume Flow:**
-
-```
-> workflow document-project
-
-I found an in-progress workflow state from 2025-10-11 14:32:15.
-
-Current Progress:
-- Mode: initial_scan
-- Scan Level: deep
-- Completed Steps: 5/12
-- Last Step: step_5
-
-Would you like to:
-1. Resume from where we left off - Continue from step 6
-2. Start fresh - Archive old state and begin new scan
-3. Cancel - Exit without changes
-
-Your choice [1/2/3]:
-```
-
----
-
-## What It Does
-
-### Step-by-Step Process
-
-1. **Detects Project Structure** - Identifies if project is single-part or multi-part (client/server/etc.)
-2. **Classifies Project Type** - Matches against 12 project types (web, backend, mobile, etc.)
-3. **Discovers Documentation** - Finds existing README, CONTRIBUTING, ARCHITECTURE files
-4. **Analyzes Tech Stack** - Parses package files, identifies frameworks, versions, dependencies
-5. **Conditional Scanning** - Performs targeted analysis based on project type requirements:
-   - API routes and endpoints
-   - Database models and schemas
-   - State management patterns
-   - UI component libraries
-   - Configuration and security
-   - CI/CD and deployment configs
-6. **Generates Source Tree** - Creates annotated directory structure with critical paths
-7. **Extracts Dev Instructions** - Documents setup, build, run, and test commands
-8. **Creates Architecture Docs** - Generates detailed architecture using matched templates
-9. **Builds Master Index** - Creates comprehensive index.md as primary AI retrieval source
-10. **Validates Output** - Runs 140+ point checklist to ensure completeness
-

----
-
-## Deep-Dive Mode
-
-### What is Deep-Dive Mode?
-
-When you run the workflow on a project that already has documentation, you'll be offered a choice:
-
-1. **Rescan entire project** - Update all documentation with latest changes
-2. **Deep-dive into specific area** - Generate EXHAUSTIVE documentation for a particular feature/module/folder
-3. **Cancel** - Keep existing documentation
-
-Deep-dive mode performs **comprehensive, file-by-file analysis** of a specific area, reading EVERY file completely and documenting:
-
-- All exports with complete signatures
-- All imports and dependencies
-- Dependency graphs and data flow
-- Code patterns and implementations
-- Testing coverage and strategies
-- Integration points
-- Reuse opportunities
-
-### When to Use Deep-Dive Mode
-
-- **Before implementing a feature** - Deep-dive the area you'll be modifying
-- **During architecture review** - Deep-dive complex modules
-- **For code understanding** - Deep-dive unfamiliar parts of codebase
-- **When creating PRDs** - Deep-dive areas affected by new features
-
-### Deep-Dive Process
-
-1. Workflow detects existing `index.md`
-2. Offers deep-dive option
-3. Suggests areas based on project structure:
-   - API route groups
-   - Feature modules
-   - UI component areas
-   - Services/business logic
-4. You select area or specify custom path
-5. Workflow reads EVERY file in that area
-6. Generates `deep-dive-{area-name}.md` with complete analysis
-7. Updates `index.md` with link to deep-dive doc
-8. Offers to deep-dive another area or finish
-
-### Deep-Dive Output Example
-
-**docs/deep-dive-dashboard-feature.md:**
-
-- Complete file inventory (47 files analyzed)
-- Every export with signatures
-- Dependency graph
-- Data flow analysis
-- Integration points
-- Testing coverage
-- Related code references
-- Implementation guidance
-- ~3,000 LOC documented in detail
-
-### Incremental Deep-Diving
-
-You can deep-dive multiple areas over time:
-
-- First run: Scan entire project → generates index.md
-- Second run: Deep-dive dashboard feature
-- Third run: Deep-dive API layer
-- Fourth run: Deep-dive authentication system
-
-All deep-dive docs are linked from the master index.
-
----
-
-## Validation
-
-The workflow includes a comprehensive 160+ point checklist covering:
-
-- Project detection accuracy
-- Technology stack completeness
-- Codebase scanning thoroughness
-- Architecture documentation quality
-- Multi-part handling (if applicable)
-- Brownfield PRD readiness
-- Deep-dive completeness (if applicable)
-
----
-
-## Next Steps After Completion
-
-1. **Review** `docs/index.md` - Your master documentation index
-2. **Validate** - Check generated docs for accuracy
-3. **Use for PRD** - Point brownfield PRD workflow to index.md
-4. **Maintain** - Re-run workflow when architecture changes significantly
-

-└── README.md                        # This file
-```
-
----
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Issue: Project type not detected correctly**
-
-- Solution: Workflow will ask for confirmation; manually select correct type
-
-**Issue: Missing critical information**
-
-- Solution: Provide additional context when prompted; re-run specific analysis steps
-
-**Issue: Multi-part detection missed a part**
-
-- Solution: When asked to confirm parts, specify the missing part and its path
-
-**Issue: Architecture template doesn't match well**
-
-- Solution: Check registry.csv; may need to add new template or adjust matching criteria
-
----
-
-## Architecture Improvements in v1.2.0
-
-### Context-Safe Design
-
-The workflow now uses a write-as-you-go architecture:
-
-- Documents written immediately to disk (not accumulated in memory)
-- Detailed findings purged after writing (only summaries kept)
-- State tracking enables resumption from any step
-- Batching strategy prevents context exhaustion on large projects
-
-### Batching Strategy
-
-For deep/exhaustive scans:
-
-- Process ONE subfolder at a time
-- Read files → Extract info → Write output → Validate → Purge context
-- Primary concern is file SIZE (not count)
-- Track batches in state file for resumability
-
-### State File Format
-
-Optimized JSON (no pretty-printing):
-
-```json
-{
-  "workflow_version": "1.2.0",
-  "timestamps": {...},
-  "mode": "initial_scan",
-  "scan_level": "deep",
-  "completed_steps": [...],
-  "current_step": "step_6",
-  "findings": {"summary": "only"},
-  "outputs_generated": [...],
-  "resume_instructions": "..."

-# BMM Analysis Workflows (Phase 1)
-
-## Overview
-
-Phase 1 (Analysis) workflows are **optional** exploration and discovery tools that help you understand your project space before committing to detailed planning. These workflows facilitate creative thinking, market validation, and strategic alignment.
-
-**When to use Analysis workflows:**
-
-- Starting a new project from scratch
-- Exploring a problem space or opportunity
-- Validating market fit before significant investment
-- Gathering strategic context for planning phases
-
-**When to skip Analysis workflows:**
-
-- Continuing an existing project with clear requirements
-- Working on well-defined features with known solutions
-- Working under strict constraints where discovery is complete

-
-### Process Overview
-
-**Five Brainstorming Methods** (applied in isolation, then synthesized):
-
-| Method                  | Focus                    | Output Characteristics             |
-| ----------------------- | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------- |
-| SCAMPER                 | Systematic modification  | Structured transformation analysis |
-| Mind Mapping            | Hierarchical exploration | Visual concept relationships       |
-| Lotus Blossom           | Radial expansion         | Layered thematic development       |
-| Six Thinking Hats       | Multi-perspective        | Balanced evaluation framework      |
-| Random Word Association | Lateral thinking         | Unexpected conceptual combinations |
-
-Each method generates distinct artifacts that are then evaluated against design pillars, technical feasibility, and market positioning.
-
-### Inputs
-
-- **Game Context Document**: Platform specs, genre, technical constraints, target audience, monetization approach, design pillars
-- **Initial Concept Seed** (optional): High-level game idea or theme
-
-### Outputs
-
-- **Method-Specific Artifacts**: Five separate brainstorming documents
-- **Consolidated Concept Document**: Synthesized game concepts with feasibility assessments and unique value propositions
-- **Design Pillar Alignment Matrix**: Evaluation of concepts against stated objectives
-
-### Example Scenario
-
-**Starting Point:**
-"A roguelike with psychological themes"
-
-**After brainstorm-game:**
-
-- **SCAMPER Result**: "What if standard roguelike death → becomes emotional regression?"
-- **Mind Map Result**: Emotion types (anger, fear, joy) as character classes
-- **Lotus Blossom Result**: Inner demons as enemies, therapy sessions as rest points
-- **Six Thinking Hats Result**: White (data) - mental health market growing; Red (emotion) - theme may alienate hardcore players
-- **Random Word Association Result**: "Mirror" + "Roguelike" = reflection mechanics that change gameplay
-
-**Synthesized Concept:**
-"Mirror of Mind: A roguelike card battler where you play as emotions battling inner demons. Deck composition affects narrative, emotional theme drives mechanics, 3 characters representing anger/fear/joy, target audience: core gamers interested in mental health themes."

-## Best Practices for Phase 1
-
-### 1. Don't Over-Invest in Analysis
-
-Analysis workflows are optional for a reason. If you already know what you're building and why, skip to Phase 2 (Planning).
-
-### 2. Iterate Between Workflows
-
-It's common to:
-
-1. Run **brainstorm-project** to explore
-2. Use **research** to validate
-3. Create **product-brief** to synthesize
-
-### 3. Document Assumptions
-
-Analysis phase is about surfacing and validating assumptions. Document them explicitly so planning can challenge them.
-
-### 4. Keep It Strategic
-
-Analysis workflows focus on "what" and "why", not "how". Leave implementation details for Planning and Solutioning phases.
-
-### 5. Involve Stakeholders
-
-Analysis workflows are collaborative. Use them to align stakeholders before committing to detailed planning.

-
-## Decision Guide: Which Analysis Workflow?
-
-### Starting a Software Project
-
-1. **brainstorm-project** (if unclear solution) → **research** (market/technical) → **product-brief**
-
-### Starting a Game Project
-
-1. **brainstorm-game** (if generating concepts) → **research** (market/competitive) → **game-brief**
-
-### Validating an Idea
-
-1. **research** (market type) → **product-brief** or **game-brief**
-
-### Technical Decision
-
-1. **research** (technical type) → Use ADR in **architecture** (Phase 3)
-
-### Understanding Market
-
-1. **research** (market or competitive type) → **product-brief**
-
-### Generating Deep Research
-
-1. **research** (deep_prompt type) → External AI research platform → Return with findings
-
----
-
-## Integration with Phase 2 (Planning)
-
-Analysis workflows feed directly into Planning:
-
-| Analysis Output             | Planning Input             |
-| --------------------------- | -------------------------- |
-| product-brief.md            | **prd** workflow           |
-| game-brief.md               | **gdd** workflow           |
-| market-research.md          | **prd** context            |
-| technical-research.md       | **architecture** (Phase 3) |
-| competitive-intelligence.md | **prd** positioning        |
-
-The Planning phase (Phase 2) will load these documents automatically if they exist in the output folder.

-
-## Summary
-
-Phase 1 Analysis workflows are your strategic thinking tools. Use them to:
-
-- **Explore** problem spaces and solutions
-- **Validate** ideas before heavy investment
-- **Align** stakeholders on vision
-- **Research** markets, competitors, and technologies
-- **Document** strategic thinking for future reference
-
-Remember: **These workflows are optional.** If you know what you're building and why, skip to Phase 2 (Planning) to define requirements and create your PRD/GDD.

-# BMM Implementation Workflows (Phase 4)
-
-**Reading Time:** ~8 minutes
-
-## Overview
-
-Phase 4 (Implementation) workflows manage the iterative sprint-based development cycle using a **story-centric workflow** where each story moves through a defined lifecycle from creation to completion.
-
-**Key principle:** One story at a time, move it through the entire lifecycle before starting the next.

-## Agent Roles
-
-### SM (Scrum Master) - Primary Implementation Orchestrator
-
-**Workflows:** sprint-planning, epic-tech-context, validate-epic-tech-context, create-story, validate-create-story, story-context, validate-story-context, story-ready-for-dev, epic-retrospective, correct-course
-
-**Responsibilities:**
-
-- Initialize and maintain sprint tracking
-- Generate technical context (epic and story level)
-- Orchestrate story lifecycle with optional validations
-- Mark stories ready for development
-- Handle course corrections
-- Facilitate retrospectives
-
-### DEV (Developer) - Implementation and Quality
-
-**Workflows:** develop-story, code-review, story-done
-
-**Responsibilities:**
-
-- Implement stories with tests
-- Perform senior developer code reviews
-- Mark stories complete and advance queue
-- Ensure quality and adherence to standards
-
----
-
-## Story Lifecycle States
-
-Stories move through these states in the sprint status file:
-
-1. **TODO** - Story identified but not started
-2. **IN PROGRESS** - Story being implemented (create-story → story-context → dev-story)
-3. **READY FOR REVIEW** - Implementation complete, awaiting code review
-4. **DONE** - Accepted and complete
-
----
-
-## Typical Sprint Flow
-
-### Sprint 0 (Planning Phase)
-
-- Complete Phases 1-3 (Analysis, Planning, Solutioning)
-- PRD/GDD + Architecture + Epics ready
-
-### Sprint 1+ (Implementation Phase)
-
-**Start of Phase 4:**
-
-1. SM runs `sprint-planning` (once)
-
-**Per Epic:**
-
-1. SM runs `epic-tech-context`
-2. SM optionally runs `validate-epic-tech-context`
-
-**Per Story (repeat until epic complete):**
-
-1. SM runs `create-story`
-2. SM optionally runs `validate-create-story`
-3. SM runs `story-context` OR `story-ready-for-dev` (choose one)
-4. SM optionally runs `validate-story-context` (if story-context was used)
-5. DEV runs `develop-story`
-6. DEV runs `code-review`
-7. If code review passes: DEV runs `story-done`
-8. If code review finds issues: DEV fixes in `develop-story`, then back to code-review
-
-**After Epic Complete:**
-
-- SM runs `epic-retrospective`
-- Move to next epic (start with `epic-tech-context` again)
-
-**As Needed:**
-
-- Run `workflow-status` anytime to check progress
-- Run `correct-course` if significant changes needed
-
----
-
-## Key Principles
-
-### One Story at a Time
-
-Complete each story's full lifecycle before starting the next. This prevents context switching and ensures quality.
-
-### Epic-Level Technical Context
-
-Generate detailed technical guidance per epic (not per story) using `epic-tech-context`. This provides just-in-time architecture without upfront over-planning.
-
-### Story Context (Optional)
-
-Use `story-context` to assemble focused context XML for each story, pulling from PRD, architecture, epic context, and codebase docs. Alternatively, use `story-ready-for-dev` to mark a story ready without generating context XML.
-
-### Quality Gates
-
-Every story goes through `code-review` before being marked done. No exceptions.
-
-### Continuous Tracking
-
-The `sprint-status.yaml` file is the single source of truth for all implementation progress.
-
----
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Level 0-1 (Quick Flow)
-
-```
-tech-spec (PM)
-  → sprint-planning (SM)
-  → story loop (SM/DEV)
-```
-
-### Level 2-4 (BMad Method / Enterprise)
-
-```
-PRD + Architecture (PM/Architect)
-  → solutioning-gate-check (Architect)
-  → sprint-planning (SM, once)
-  → [Per Epic]:
-      epic-tech-context (SM)
-      → story loop (SM/DEV)
-      → epic-retrospective (SM)
-  → [Next Epic]
-```

-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Q: Which workflow should I run next?**
-A: Run `workflow-status` - it reads the sprint status file and tells you exactly what to do.
-
-**Q: Story needs significant changes mid-implementation?**
-A: Run `correct-course` to analyze impact and route appropriately.
-
-**Q: Do I run epic-tech-context for every story?**
-A: No! Run once per epic, not per story. Use `story-context` or `story-ready-for-dev` per story instead.
-
-**Q: Do I have to use story-context for every story?**
-A: No, it's optional. You can use `story-ready-for-dev` to mark a story ready without generating context XML.
-
-**Q: Can I work on multiple stories in parallel?**
-A: Not recommended. Complete one story's full lifecycle before starting the next. Prevents context switching and ensures quality.
-
-**Q: What if code review finds issues?**
-A: DEV runs `develop-story` to make fixes, re-runs tests, then runs `code-review` again until it passes.
-
-**Q: When do I run validations?**
-A: Validations are optional quality gates. Use them when you want independent review of epic tech specs, story drafts, or story context before proceeding.

-# BMM Solutioning Workflows (Phase 3)
-
-## 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.

-## Quick Reference
-
-| Workflow                   | Project Levels | Purpose                                     |
-| -------------------------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
-| **architecture**           | 2-4            | Technical architecture and design decisions |
-| **solutioning-gate-check** | 3-4            | Validate planning/solutioning completeness  |
-
-**When to Skip Solutioning:**
-
-- **Level 0-1**: Simple changes don't need architecture → Skip to Phase 4 (Implementation)
-- **Level 2**: Optional - use if technically complex, skip if straightforward
-
-**When Solutioning is Required:**
-
-- **Level 3-4**: Multi-epic, multi-agent projects → Architecture prevents conflicts
-
----
-
-## Understanding the Solutioning Phase
-
-### Why Solutioning Matters
-
-**Problem Without Solutioning:**
-
-1. DEV agent implements Epic 1 using REST API
-2. DEV agent implements Epic 2 using GraphQL
-3. **Conflict**: Inconsistent API design, integration nightmare
-
-**Solution With Solutioning:**
-
-1. **architecture** workflow decides: "Use GraphQL for all APIs"
-2. All DEV agents follow architecture decisions
-3. **Result**: Consistent implementation, no conflicts
-
-### Solutioning vs Planning
-
-| Aspect   | Planning (Phase 2) | Solutioning (Phase 3)    |
-| -------- | ------------------ | ------------------------ |
-| Question | What and Why?      | How?                     |
-| Output   | Requirements       | Technical Design         |
-| Agent    | PM                 | Architect                |
-| Audience | Stakeholders       | Developers               |
-| Document | PRD/GDD            | Architecture + Tech Spec |
-| Level    | Business logic     | Implementation detail    |
-
-### Scale-Adaptive Solutioning
-
-**Level 0-1 (Skip Solutioning):**
-
-- Planning: Quick Spec (tech-spec workflow)
-- Solutioning: **None**
-- Implementation: dev-story directly
-
-**Level 2 (Optional Solutioning):**
-
-- Planning: Lightweight PRD
-- Solutioning: **Optional** architecture
-- Implementation: dev-story with or without architecture
-
-**Level 3-4 (Required Solutioning):**
-
-- Planning: Standard/Comprehensive PRD
-- Solutioning: **Required** architecture + epic-tech-context
-- Gate Check: **Required** solutioning-gate-check
-- Implementation: dev-story guided by architecture
-

-
-## architecture
-
-### Purpose
-
-Collaborative architectural decision facilitation that produces a decision-focused architecture document optimized for preventing agent conflicts. Replaces template-driven architecture with intelligent, adaptive conversation.
-
-**Agent:** Architect
-**Phase:** 3 (Solutioning)
-**Project Levels:** 2-4
-**Required:** Level 3-4, Optional Level 2
-
-### When to Use
-
-- Multi-epic projects (Level 3-4)
-- Cross-cutting technical concerns
-- Multiple agents will implement different parts
-- Integration complexity exists
-- Technology choices need alignment
-
-**When to Skip:**
-
-- Level 0-1 (simple changes)
-- Level 2 with straightforward tech stack
-- Single epic with clear technical approach
-
-### Adaptive Conversation Approach
-
-**This is NOT a template filler.** The architecture workflow:
-
-1. **Discovers** your technical needs through conversation
-2. **Proposes** architectural options with trade-offs
-3. **Documents** decisions that prevent agent conflicts
-4. **Focuses** on decision points, not exhaustive documentation

-### Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
-
-**Purpose:** Document **why** decisions were made, not just what was decided.
-
-**ADR Template:**
-
-```markdown
-## ADR-001: Use GraphQL for All APIs
-
-**Status:** Accepted
-**Date:** 2025-11-02
-**Context:** PRD requires flexible querying across multiple epics
-
-**Decision:** Use GraphQL for all client-server communication
-
-**Options Considered:**
-
-1. REST API - Familiar, well-understood, but requires multiple endpoints
-2. GraphQL - Flexible querying, single endpoint, learning curve
-3. gRPC - High performance, but poor browser support
-
-**Rationale:**
-
-- PRD requires flexible data fetching (Epic 1, Epic 3)
-- Mobile app needs bandwidth optimization (Epic 2)
-- Team has GraphQL experience from previous project
-- Allows frontend flexibility without backend changes
-
-**Consequences:**
-
-- Positive: Flexible querying, reduced API versioning
-- Negative: Caching complexity, N+1 query risk
-- Mitigation: Use DataLoader for batching
-
-**Implications for Epics:**
-
-- Epic 1: User Management → GraphQL mutations
-- Epic 2: Mobile App → Optimized queries
-- Epic 3: Admin Dashboard → Complex nested queries
-```
-
-### Example: Level 3 Architecture for E-Commerce Platform
-
-**System Architecture:**
-
-- Monolith (early stage, < 50K users)
-- PostgreSQL database
-- Redis for caching and sessions
-- Next.js for frontend
-- Deployed on Vercel + Railway
-
-**Key ADRs:**
-
-1. **ADR-001**: Use Next.js (vs React + Express)
-   - Rationale: SEO critical, SSR needed, unified codebase
-2. **ADR-002**: Use GraphQL (vs REST)
-   - Rationale: Flexible querying for dashboard, mobile optimization
-3. **ADR-003**: Use Stripe (vs PayPal + Stripe)
-   - Rationale: Simpler integration, lower fees, better UX
-
-**Epic Guidance:**
-
-- **Epic 1 (Auth)**: NextAuth.js with PostgreSQL adapter
-- **Epic 2 (Products)**: GraphQL with DataLoader for categories
-- **Epic 3 (Cart)**: Redis for session-based cart (no DB writes)
-- **Epic 4 (Checkout)**: Stripe webhooks for payment confirmation
-
-**Standards:**
-
-```
-Directory Structure:
-/pages          - Next.js routes
-/components     - Reusable UI components
-/lib            - Business logic
-  /graphql      - GraphQL schema and resolvers
-  /db           - Prisma models and migrations
-  /services     - Third-party integrations
-/tests          - Test files mirror /lib
-```

-## solutioning-gate-check
-
-### Purpose
-
-Systematically validate that all planning and solutioning phases are complete and properly aligned before transitioning to Phase 4 implementation. Ensures PRD, architecture, and stories are cohesive with no gaps or contradictions.
-
-**Agent:** SM (Scrum Master)
-**Phase:** 3 (Solutioning)
-**Project Levels:** 3-4
-**Required:** Level 3-4 only

-## Integration with Phase 2 (Planning) and Phase 4 (Implementation)
-
-### Planning → Solutioning Flow
-
-**Level 0-1:**
-
-```
-Planning (tech-spec Quick Spec)
-  → Skip Solutioning
-  → Implementation (dev-story)
-```
-
-**Level 2:**
-
-```
-Planning (prd Lightweight)
-  → Optional: architecture (if complex)
-  → Implementation (sprint-planning → dev-story)
-```
-
-**Level 3-4:**
-
-```
-Planning (prd Standard/Comprehensive)
-  → architecture (Required)
-  → solutioning-gate-check (Required)
-  → Implementation (sprint-planning → dev-story)
-```
-
-### Solutioning → Implementation Handoff
-
-**Documents Produced:**
-
-1. `architecture.md` → Guides all dev-story workflows
-2. `ADRs` (in architecture) → Referenced by agents during implementation
-3. `solutioning-gate-check.md` → Confirms readiness
-
-**How Implementation Uses Solutioning:**
-
-- **sprint-planning**: Loads architecture for epic sequencing
-- **dev-story**: References architecture decisions and ADRs
-- **code-review**: Validates code follows architectural standards
-
----
-
-## Best Practices for Phase 3
-
-### 1. Make Decisions Explicit
-
-Don't leave technology choices implicit. Document decisions with rationale so future agents understand context.
-
-### 2. Focus on Agent Conflicts
-
-Architecture's primary job is preventing conflicting implementations by different agents. Focus on cross-cutting concerns.
-
-### 3. Use ADRs for Key Decisions
-
-Every significant technology choice should have an ADR explaining the "why", not just the "what".
-
-### 4. Keep It Practical
-
-Don't over-architect Level 2 projects. Simple projects need simple architecture.
-
-### 5. Run Gate Check Before Implementation
-
-Catching alignment issues in solutioning is 10× faster than discovering them mid-implementation.
-
-### 6. Iterate Architecture
-
-Architecture documents are living. Update them as you learn during implementation.

-## Common Anti-Patterns
-
-### ❌ Skipping Architecture for Level 3-4
-
-"Architecture slows us down, let's just start coding."
-→ **Result**: Agent conflicts, inconsistent design, rework
-
-### ❌ Over-Architecting Level 2
-
-"Let me design this simple feature like a distributed system."
-→ **Result**: Wasted time, over-engineering
-
-### ❌ Template-Driven Architecture
-
-"Fill out every section of this architecture template."
-→ **Result**: Documentation theater, no real decisions made
-
-### ❌ Skipping Gate Check
-
-"PRD and architecture look good enough, let's start."
-→ **Result**: Gaps discovered mid-sprint, wasted implementation time
-
-### ✅ Correct Approach
-
-- Use architecture for Level 3-4 (required)
-- Keep Level 2 architecture simple (if used)
-- Focus on decisions, not documentation volume
-- Always run gate check before implementation
-
----
-
-## Decision Guide: When to Use Solutioning Workflows
-
-### Level 0-1 Projects
-
-- **Planning**: tech-spec (Quick Spec)
-- **Solutioning**: **Skip entirely**
-- **Implementation**: dev-story directly
-
-### Level 2 Projects (Simple)
-
-- **Planning**: prd (Lightweight)
-- **Solutioning**: **Skip** if straightforward tech
-- **Implementation**: sprint-planning → dev-story
-
-### Level 2 Projects (Technically Complex)
-
-- **Planning**: prd (Lightweight)
-- **Solutioning**: architecture (simplified)
-- **Gate Check**: Optional
-- **Implementation**: sprint-planning → dev-story
-
-### Level 3-4 Projects
-
-- **Planning**: prd/gdd (Standard/Comprehensive)
-- **Solutioning**: architecture (comprehensive) → **Required**
-- **Gate Check**: solutioning-gate-check → **Required**
-- **Implementation**: sprint-planning → epic-tech-context → dev-story
-
----
-
-## Summary
-
-Phase 3 Solutioning workflows bridge planning and implementation:
-
-| Workflow                   | Purpose                               | When Required                            |
-| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
-| **architecture**           | Make technical decisions explicit     | Level 3-4 (required), Level 2 (optional) |
-| **solutioning-gate-check** | Validate readiness for implementation | Level 3-4 only                           |
-
-**Key Takeaway:** Solutioning prevents agent conflicts in multi-epic projects by documenting architectural decisions before implementation begins.
-
-**Next Phase:** Implementation (Phase 4) - Sprint-based story development

-    <principles>I believe markets reward only those who create genuine new value or deliver existing value in radically better ways - everything else is theater. Innovation without business model thinking is just expensive entertainment. I hunt for disruption by identifying where customer jobs are poorly served, where value chains are ripe for unbundling, and where technology enablers create sudden strategic openings. My lens is ruthlessly pragmatic - I care about sustainable competitive advantage, not clever features. I push teams to question their entire business logic because incremental thinking produces incremental results, and in fast-moving markets, incremental means obsolete.</principles>

-Understand what's driving toward and resisting solution.
-
-Apply **Force Field Analysis**:
-
-- What forces drive toward solving this? (motivation, resources, support)
-- What forces resist solving this? (inertia, cost, complexity, politics)
-- Which forces are strongest?
-- Which can we influence?
-
-Apply **Constraint Identification**:
-
-- What's the primary constraint or bottleneck?
-- What limits our solution space?
-- What constraints are real vs assumed?

-Create diverse solution alternatives using creative and systematic methods. Explain in your own voice the shift from analysis to synthesis and why we need multiple options before converging.
-
-Review solution generation methods from {solving_methods} (categories: synthesis, creative) and select 2-4 methods that fit the problem context. Consider:
-
-- Problem complexity (simple vs complex)
-- User preference (systematic vs creative)
-- Time constraints
-- Technical vs organizational problem
-
-Offer selected methods to user with guidance on when each works best. Common options:
-
-- **Systematic approaches:** TRIZ, Morphological Analysis, Biomimicry
-- **Creative approaches:** Lateral Thinking, Assumption Busting, Reverse Brainstorming
-
-Walk through 2-3 chosen methods to generate:
-
-- 10-15 solution ideas minimum
-- Mix of incremental and breakthrough approaches
-- Include "wild" ideas that challenge assumptions

-
-- Effectiveness - Will it solve the root cause?
-- Feasibility - Can we actually do this?
-- Cost - What's the investment required?
-- Time - How long to implement?
-- Risk - What could go wrong?
-- Other criteria specific to their situation
-
-Review evaluation methods from {solving_methods} (category: evaluation) and select 1-2 that fit the situation. Options include:
