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" diff --git a/bmad/_cfg/agents/bmm-analyst.customize.yaml b/bmad/_cfg/agents/bmm-analyst.customize.yaml new file mode 100644 index

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 & 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 & 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](../../../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) +- Complex problem-solving (multi-faceted challenges, risk assessment) + +**Example parties:** + +- **Product Strategy:** PM + Innovation Strategist (CIS) + Analyst +- **Technical Design:** Architect + Creative Problem Solver (CIS) + Game Architect +- **User Experience:** UX Designer + Design Thinking Coach (CIS) + Storyteller (CIS) + +**Why it's powerful:** + +- Diverse perspectives (technical, creative, strategic) +- Healthy debate reveals blind spots +- Emergent insights from agent interaction +- Natural collaboration across modules + +**For complete documentation:** + +👉 **[Party Mode Guide](./party-mode.md)** - How it works, when to use it, example compositions, best practices + +--- + +## Getting Help + +### Q: Where do I get help if my question isn't answered here? + +**A:** + +1.

Workflows are interactive and adapt to user context. + +--- + +## Scale & 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 & 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 & 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.

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.

It's perfect for brownfield projects. It will analyze your existing code, detect patterns, and ask if you want to follow them. + +### Q: What if I don't have a package.json or requirements.txt? + +**A:** Quick Spec Flow will work in greenfield mode, recommend starter templates, and use WebSearch for modern best practices. + +### Q: Do I need to run workflow-init first? + +**A:** No! Quick Spec Flow is standalone. But if you want guidance on which flow to use, workflow-init can help. + +### Q: Can I use this for frontend changes? + +**A:** Absolutely! Quick Spec Flow captures UX/UI considerations, component changes, and accessibility requirements. + +### Q: What if my Quick Flow project grows? + +**A:** No problem! You can always transition to BMad Method by running workflow-init and create-prd. Your tech-spec becomes input for the PRD. + +### Q: Do I need story-context for every story? + +**A:** Usually no! Tech-spec is comprehensive enough for most Quick Flow projects. Only use story-context for complex edge cases. + +### Q: Can I skip validation? + +**A:** No, validation always runs automatically. But it's fast and catches issues early! + +### Q: Will it work with my team's code style? + +**A:** Yes! It detects your conventions and asks for confirmation. You control whether to follow existing patterns or establish new ones. + +--- + +## Tips & 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. + +--- + +## Summary + +Quick Spec Flow is your **fast path from idea to implementation** for: + +- 🐛 Bug fixes +- ✨ Small features +- 🚀 Rapid prototyping +- 🔧 Quick enhancements + +**Key Features:** + +- Auto-detects your stack +- Auto-analyzes brownfield code +- Auto-validates quality +- Respects existing conventions +- Uses WebSearch for modern practices +- Generates comprehensive tech-specs +- Creates implementation-ready stories + +**Time to code:** Minutes, not hours. + +**Ready to try it?** Load the PM agent and say what you want to build! 🚀 + +--- + +## Next Steps + +- **Try it now:** Load PM agent and describe a small change +- **Learn more:** See `src/modules/bmm/workflows/README.md` for full BMM workflow guide +- **Need help deciding?** Run `workflow-init` to get a recommendation +- **Have questions?** Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj + +--- + +_Quick Spec Flow - Because not every change needs a Product Brief._ diff --git a/bmad/bmm/docs/quick-start.md b/bmad/bmm/docs/quick-start.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..8e94340 --- /dev/null +++ b/bmad/bmm/docs/quick-start.md @@ -0,0 +1,366 @@ +# BMad Method V6 Quick Start Guide + +Get started with BMad Method v6 for your new greenfield project.

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.

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.

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 +↓ +LLM identifies needs: +- REST: URL structure, response format, status codes +- PostgreSQL: table naming, column naming, FK patterns +- React: component structure, state management, test location +↓ +Facilitates each with user +↓ +Documents as Implementation Patterns in architecture +``` + +--- + +## 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.

One Story at a Time + +**Focus on completing stories fully** before starting new ones. Don't parallelize stories unless you have multiple developers. + +### 2. Always Run story-context + +Don't skip context assembly. DEV agent performs better with focused, relevant context. + +### 3. Write Tests First (ATDD) + +For P0/P1 stories, write failing tests first (acceptance test-driven development), then implement to make them pass. + +### 4. Code Review P0/P1 Stories + +Always review critical stories. P2/P3 can be optional reviews. + +### 5. Run Retrospectives + +Don't skip retrospectives. They provide valuable insights that improve velocity in subsequent epics. + +### 6. Use workflow-status + +When unsure what to do next, run workflow-status. It will guide you. + +### 7. Document Deviations + +If you deviate from architecture or PRD, document why in story file. + +--- + +## Common Anti-Patterns + +### ❌ Starting Multiple Stories Simultaneously + +"Let's parallelize 5 stories to go faster." +→ **Result**: Context switching, incomplete stories, harder to track + +### ❌ Skipping story-context + +"The DEV agent can just read the full PRD." +→ **Result**: Slow context loading, irrelevant info, slower implementation + +### ❌ No Code Reviews + +"Code reviews slow us down, skip them." +→ **Result**: Technical debt, inconsistent quality, bugs in production + +### ❌ Skipping Retrospectives + +"We're too busy shipping, no time for retros." +→ **Result**: Repeat mistakes, no process improvement, lower velocity + +### ✅ Correct Approach + +- Focus on one story at a time +- Always assemble story context +- Review P0/P1 stories +- Run retrospectives after epics +- Use workflow-status for guidance + +--- + +## Summary + +Phase 4 Implementation follows a **story-centric workflow**: + +| Workflow | Purpose | Frequency | +| --------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------- | +| **sprint-planning** | Initialize tracking | Once at start | +| **epic-tech-context** | Technical guidance | Once per epic | +| **create-story** | Generate story file | Per story | +| **story-context** | Assemble context | Per story | +| **dev-story** | Implement story | Per story | +| **code-review** | Review quality | Per story (P0/P1) | +| **correct-course** | Handle changes | As needed | +| **retrospective** | Learn and improve | After each epic | + +**Key Takeaway:** Implementation is iterative and incremental.
