<critical>Study the guide thoroughly to follow ALL conventions for optimal human-AI collaboration</critical>
|
||||
<critical>Communicate in {communication_language} throughout the workflow creation process</critical>

Invoke brainstorming workflow to explore ideas and design concepts:
|
||||
- Workflow: {project-root}/bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml
|
||||
- Context data: {installed_path}/brainstorm-context.md
|
||||
- Purpose: Generate creative workflow ideas, explore different approaches, and clarify requirements
|
||||
|
||||
The brainstorming output will inform:
|
||||
|
||||
- Workflow purpose and goals
|
||||
- Workflow type selection
|
||||
- Step design and structure
|
||||
- User experience considerations
|
||||
- Technical requirements

|
||||
<step n="0" goal="Load and understand workflow conventions">
|
||||
<action>Load the complete workflow creation guide from: {workflow_creation_guide}</action>
|
||||
<action>Study all sections thoroughly including:
|
||||
- Core concepts (tasks vs workflows, workflow types)
|
||||
- Workflow structure (required/optional files, patterns)
|
||||
- Writing instructions (step attributes, XML tags, flow control)
|
||||
- Templates and variables (syntax, naming, sources)
|
||||
- Validation best practices
|
||||
- Common pitfalls to avoid

<action>Load template files from: {workflow_template_path}/</action>
|
||||
<critical>You must follow ALL conventions from the guide to ensure optimal human-AI collaboration</critical>
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="1" goal="Define workflow purpose and type">
|
||||
Ask the user:
|
||||
- What is the workflow name? (kebab-case, e.g., "product-brief")
|
||||
- What module will it belong to? (e.g., "bmm", "bmb", "cis")
|
||||
- Store as {{target_module}} for output path determination
|
||||
- What is the workflow's main purpose?
|
||||
- What type of workflow is this?
|
||||
- Document workflow (generates documents like PRDs, specs)
|
||||
- Action workflow (performs actions like refactoring)
|
||||
- Interactive workflow (guided sessions)
|
||||
- Autonomous workflow (runs without user input)
|
||||
- Meta-workflow (coordinates other workflows)
|
||||
|
||||
Based on type, determine which files are needed:
|
||||
|
||||
- Document: workflow.yaml + template.md + instructions.md + checklist.md
|
||||
- Action: workflow.yaml + instructions.md
|
||||
- Others: Varies based on requirements
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>Determine output location based on module assignment:</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
- If workflow belongs to module: Save to {module_output_folder}
|
||||
- If standalone workflow: Save to {standalone_output_folder}
|
||||
|
||||
Store decisions for later use.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="2" goal="Gather workflow metadata and invocation settings">
|
||||
Collect essential configuration details:
|
||||
- Description (clear purpose statement)
|
||||
- Author name (default to user_name or "BMad")
|
||||
- Output file naming pattern
|
||||
- Any required input documents
|
||||
- Any required tools or dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Determine standalone property - this controls how the workflow can be invoked:
|
||||
|
||||
Explain to the user:
|
||||
|
||||
**Standalone Property** controls whether the workflow can be invoked directly or only called by other workflows/agents.
|
||||
|
||||
**standalone: true (DEFAULT - Recommended for most workflows)**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Users can invoke directly via IDE commands or `/workflow-name`
|
||||
- Shows up in IDE command palette
|
||||
- Can also be called from agent menus or other workflows
|
||||
- Use for: User-facing workflows, entry-point workflows, any workflow users run directly
|
||||
|
||||
**standalone: false (Use for helper/internal workflows)**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Cannot be invoked directly by users
|
||||
- Only called via `<invoke-workflow>` from other workflows or agent menus
|
||||
- Doesn't appear in IDE command palette
|
||||
- Use for: Internal utilities, sub-workflows, helpers that don't make sense standalone
|
||||
|
||||
Most workflows should be `standalone: true` to give users direct access.
|
||||
</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<ask>Should this workflow be directly invokable by users?
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Yes (Recommended)** - Users can run it directly (standalone: true)
|
||||
2. **No** - Only called by other workflows/agents (standalone: false)
|
||||
|
||||
Most workflows choose option 1:
|
||||
</ask>
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Store {{standalone_setting}} as true or false based on response</action>
|
||||
|
||||
Create the workflow name in kebab-case and verify it doesn't conflict with existing workflows.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="3" goal="Understand workflow interaction style and design steps">
|
||||
<critical>Instruction style and interactivity level fundamentally shape the user experience - choose thoughtfully</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Reference the comprehensive "Instruction Styles: Intent-Based vs Prescriptive" section from the loaded creation guide</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Discuss instruction style collaboratively with the user:
|
||||
|
||||
Explain that there are two primary approaches:
|
||||
|
||||
**Intent-Based (RECOMMENDED as default)**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Gives AI goals and principles, lets it adapt conversation naturally
|
||||
- More flexible, conversational, responsive to user context
|
||||
- Better for: discovery, complex decisions, teaching, varied user skill levels
|
||||
- Uses <action> tags with guiding instructions
|
||||
- Example from architecture workflow: Facilitates decisions adapting to user_skill_level
|
||||
|
||||
**Prescriptive**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Provides exact questions and specific options
|
||||
- More controlled, predictable, consistent across runs
|
||||
- Better for: simple data collection, finite options, compliance, quick setup
|
||||
- Uses <ask> tags with specific question text
|
||||
- Example: Platform selection with 5 defined choices
|
||||
|
||||
Explain that **most workflows should default to intent-based** but use prescriptive for simple data points.
|
||||
The architecture workflow is an excellent example of intent-based with prescriptive moments.
|
||||
</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<ask>For this workflow's PRIMARY style:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Intent-based (Recommended)** - Adaptive, conversational, responds to user context
|
||||
2. **Prescriptive** - Structured, consistent, controlled interactions
|
||||
3. **Mixed/Balanced** - I'll help you decide step-by-step
|
||||
|
||||
What feels right for your workflow's purpose?
|
||||
</ask>
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Store {{instruction_style}} preference</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Now discuss interactivity level:
|
||||
|
||||
Beyond style, consider **how interactive** this workflow should be:
|
||||
|
||||
**High Interactivity (Collaborative)**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Constant back-and-forth with user
|
||||
- User guides direction, AI facilitates
|
||||
- Iterative refinement and review
|
||||
- Best for: creative work, complex decisions, learning experiences
|
||||
- Example: Architecture workflow's collaborative decision-making
|
||||
|
||||
**Medium Interactivity (Guided)**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Key decision points have interaction
|
||||
- AI proposes, user confirms or refines
|
||||
- Validation checkpoints
|
||||
- Best for: most document workflows, structured processes
|
||||
- Example: PRD workflow with sections to review
|
||||
|
||||
**Low Interactivity (Autonomous)**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Minimal user input required
|
||||
- AI works independently with guidelines
|
||||
- User reviews final output
|
||||
- Best for: automated generation, batch processing
|
||||
- Example: Generating user stories from epics
|
||||
</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<ask>What interactivity level suits this workflow?
|
||||
|
||||
1. **High** - Highly collaborative, user actively involved throughout (Recommended)
|
||||
2. **Medium** - Guided with key decision points
|
||||
3. **Low** - Mostly autonomous with final review
|
||||
|
||||
Select the level that matches your workflow's purpose:
|
||||
</ask>
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Store {{interactivity_level}} preference</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Explain how these choices will inform the workflow design:
|
||||
|
||||
- Intent-based + High interactivity: Conversational discovery with open questions
|
||||
- Intent-based + Medium: Facilitated guidance with confirmation points
|
||||
- Intent-based + Low: Principle-based autonomous generation
|
||||
- Prescriptive + any level: Structured questions, but frequency varies
|
||||
- Mixed: Strategic use of both styles where each works best
|
||||
</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Now work with user to outline workflow steps:
|
||||
|
||||
- How many major steps? (Recommend 3-7 for most workflows)
|
||||
- What is the goal of each step?
|
||||
- Which steps are optional?
|
||||
- Which steps need heavy user collaboration vs autonomous execution?
|
||||
- Which steps should repeat?
|
||||
- What variables/outputs does each step produce?
|
||||
|
||||
Consider their instruction_style and interactivity_level choices when designing step flow:
|
||||
|
||||
- High interactivity: More granular steps with collaboration
|
||||
- Low interactivity: Larger autonomous steps with review
|
||||
- Intent-based: Focus on goals and principles in step descriptions
|
||||
- Prescriptive: Define specific questions and options
|
||||
</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Create a step outline that matches the chosen style and interactivity level</action>
|
||||
<action>Note which steps should be intent-based vs prescriptive (if mixed approach)</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<template-output>step_outline</template-output>
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="4" goal="Create workflow.yaml">
|
||||
Load and use the template at: {template_workflow_yaml}
|
||||
|
||||
Replace all placeholders following the workflow creation guide conventions:
|
||||
|
||||
- {TITLE} → Proper case workflow name
|
||||
- {WORKFLOW_CODE} → kebab-case name
|
||||
- {WORKFLOW_DESCRIPTION} → Clear description
|
||||
- {module-code} → Target module
|
||||
- {file.md} → Output filename pattern
|
||||
|
||||
Include:
|
||||
|
||||
- All metadata from steps 1-2
|
||||
- **Standalone property**: Use {{standalone_setting}} from step 2 (true or false)
|
||||
- Proper paths for installed_path using variable substitution
|
||||
- Template/instructions/validation paths based on workflow type:
|
||||
- Document workflow: all files (template, instructions, validation)
|
||||
- Action workflow: instructions only (template: false)
|
||||
- Autonomous: set autonomous: true flag
|
||||
- Required tools if any
|
||||
- Recommended inputs if any
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>ALWAYS include the standard config block:</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Critical variables from config
|
||||
config_source: '{project-root}/bmad/{{target_module}}/config.yaml'
|
||||
output_folder: '{config_source}:output_folder'
|
||||
user_name: '{config_source}:user_name'
|
||||
communication_language: '{config_source}:communication_language'
|
||||
date: system-generated
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>This standard config ensures workflows can run autonomously and communicate properly with users</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>ALWAYS include the standalone property:</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
standalone: { { standalone_setting } } # true or false from step 2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example complete workflow.yaml structure**:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
name: 'workflow-name'
|
||||
description: 'Clear purpose statement'
|
||||
|
||||
# Paths
|
||||
installed_path: '{project-root}/bmad/module/workflows/name'
|
||||
template: '{installed_path}/template.md'
|
||||
instructions: '{installed_path}/instructions.md'
|
||||
validation: '{installed_path}/checklist.md'
|
||||
|
||||
# Critical variables from config
|
||||
config_source: '{project-root}/bmad/module/config.yaml'
|
||||
output_folder: '{config_source}:output_folder'
|
||||
user_name: '{config_source}:user_name'
|
||||
communication_language: '{config_source}:communication_language'
|
||||
date: system-generated
|
||||
|
||||
# Output
|
||||
default_output_file: '{output_folder}/document.md'
|
||||
|
||||
# Invocation control
|
||||
standalone: true # or false based on step 2 decision
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Follow path conventions from guide:
|
||||
|
||||
- Use {project-root} for absolute paths
|
||||
- Use {installed_path} for workflow components
|
||||
- Use {config_source} for config references
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>Determine save location:</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
- Use the output folder determined in Step 1 (module or standalone)
|
||||
- Write to {{output_folder}}/workflow.yaml
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="5" goal="Create instructions.md" if="workflow_type != 'template-only'">
|
||||
Load and use the template at: {template_instructions}
|
||||
|
||||
Generate the instructions.md file following the workflow creation guide:
|
||||
|
||||
1. ALWAYS include critical headers:
|
||||
- Workflow engine reference: {project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
|
||||
- workflow.yaml reference: must be loaded and processed
|
||||
|
||||
2. Structure with <workflow> tags containing all steps
|
||||
|
||||
3. For each step from design phase, follow guide conventions:
|
||||
- Step attributes: n="X" goal="clear goal statement"
|
||||
- Optional steps: optional="true"
|
||||
- Repeating: repeat="3" or repeat="for-each-X" or repeat="until-approved"
|
||||
- Conditional: if="condition"
|
||||
- Sub-steps: Use 3a, 3b notation
|
||||
|
||||
4. Use proper XML tags from guide:
|
||||
- Execution: <action>, <check>, <ask>, <goto>, <invoke-workflow>
|
||||
- Output: <template-output>, <invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml</invoke-task>, <critical>, <example>
|
||||
- Flow: <loop>, <break>, <continue>
|
||||
|
||||
5. Best practices from guide:
|
||||
- Keep steps focused (single goal)
|
||||
- Be specific ("Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about")
|
||||
- Provide examples where helpful
|
||||
- Set limits ("3-5 items maximum")
|
||||
- Save checkpoints with <template-output>
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>Standard config variable usage:</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
Instructions MUST use the standard config variables where appropriate:
|
||||
|
||||
- Communicate in {communication_language} throughout the workflow
|
||||
- Address user as {user_name} in greetings and summaries
|
||||
- Write all output files to {output_folder} or subdirectories
|
||||
- Include {date} in generated document headers
|
||||
|
||||
Example usage in instructions:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<action>Write document to {output_folder}/output-file.md</action>
|
||||
<critical>Communicate all responses in {communication_language}</critical>
|
||||
<output>Hello {user_name}, the workflow is complete!</output>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>Applying instruction style preference:</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
Based on the {{instruction_style}} preference from Step 3, generate instructions using these patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
**Intent-Based Instructions (Recommended for most workflows):**
|
||||
|
||||
Focus on goals, principles, and desired outcomes. Let the LLM adapt the conversation naturally.
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Good Examples:**
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Discovery and exploration -->
|
||||
<action>Guide user to define their target audience with specific demographics, psychographics, and behavioral characteristics</action>
|
||||
<action>Explore the user's vision for the product, asking probing questions to uncover core motivations and success criteria</action>
|
||||
<action>Help user identify and prioritize key features based on user value and technical feasibility</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Validation and refinement -->
|
||||
<action>Validate that the technical approach aligns with project constraints and team capabilities</action>
|
||||
<action>Challenge assumptions about user needs and market fit with thought-provoking questions</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Complex iterative work -->
|
||||
<action>Collaborate with user to refine the architecture, iterating until they're satisfied with the design</action>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **Avoid (too prescriptive):**
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<ask>What is your target audience age range? Choose: 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45+</ask>
|
||||
<ask>List exactly 3 key features in priority order</ask>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use Intent-Based:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Complex discovery processes (user research, requirements gathering)
|
||||
- Creative brainstorming and ideation
|
||||
- Iterative refinement workflows
|
||||
- When user input quality matters more than consistency
|
||||
- Workflows requiring adaptation to context
|
||||
|
||||
**Prescriptive Instructions (Use selectively):**
|
||||
|
||||
Provide exact wording, specific options, and controlled interactions.
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Good Examples:**
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Simple data collection -->
|
||||
<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask>
|
||||
<ask>Select monetization model: Premium, Free-to-Play, Subscription, Ad-Supported</ask>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Compliance and standards -->
|
||||
<ask>Does this comply with GDPR requirements? [yes/no]</ask>
|
||||
<ask>Choose documentation standard: JSDoc, TypeDoc, TSDoc</ask>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Binary decisions -->
|
||||
<ask>Do you want to generate test cases? [yes/no]</ask>
|
||||
<ask>Include performance benchmarks? [yes/no]</ask>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **Avoid (too rigid for complex tasks):**
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<ask>What are your product goals? List exactly 5 goals, each 10-15 words</ask>
|
||||
<ask>Describe your user persona in exactly 3 sentences</ask>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use Prescriptive:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Simple data collection (platform, format, yes/no choices)
|
||||
- Compliance verification and standards adherence
|
||||
- Configuration with finite options
|
||||
- When consistency is critical across all executions
|
||||
- Quick setup wizards
|
||||
|
||||
**Mixing Both Styles (Best Practice):**
|
||||
|
||||
Even if user chose a primary style, use the other when appropriate:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Intent-based workflow with prescriptive moments -->
|
||||
<step n="1" goal="Understand user vision">
|
||||
<action>Explore the user's vision for their game, uncovering their creative intent and target experience</action>
|
||||
<action>Ask probing questions about genre, themes, and emotional tone they want to convey</action>
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="2" goal="Capture basic metadata">
|
||||
<ask>What is your target platform? Choose: PC, Console, Mobile, Web</ask> <!-- Prescriptive for simple choice -->
|
||||
<ask>Select primary genre: Action, RPG, Strategy, Puzzle, Simulation, Other</ask>
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="3" goal="Deep dive into gameplay">
|
||||
<action>Guide user to articulate their core gameplay loop, exploring mechanics and player agency</action> <!-- Back to intent-based -->
|
||||
<action>Help them identify what makes their game unique and compelling</action>
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Guidelines for the chosen style:**
|
||||
|
||||
If user chose **Intent-Based**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Default to goal-oriented <action> tags
|
||||
- Use open-ended guidance language
|
||||
- Save prescriptive <ask> tags for simple data/choices
|
||||
- Focus on "guide", "explore", "help user", "validate"
|
||||
- Allow LLM to adapt questions to user responses
|
||||
|
||||
If user chose **Prescriptive**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Default to explicit <ask> tags with clear options
|
||||
- Use precise wording for consistency
|
||||
- Save intent-based <action> tags for complex discovery
|
||||
- Focus on "choose", "select", "specify", "confirm"
|
||||
- Provide structured choices when possible
|
||||
|
||||
**Remember:** The goal is optimal human-AI collaboration. Use whichever style best serves the user at each step.
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>Save location:</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
- Write to {{output_folder}}/instructions.md
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="6" goal="Create template.md" if="workflow_type == 'document'">
|
||||
Load and use the template at: {template_template}
|
||||
|
||||
Generate the template.md file following guide conventions:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Document structure with clear sections
|
||||
2. Variable syntax: {{variable_name}} using snake_case
|
||||
3. Variable names MUST match <template-output> tags exactly from instructions
|
||||
4. Include standard metadata header (optional - config variables available):
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# Document Title
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** {{date}}
|
||||
|
||||
**Author:** {{user_name}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: {{date}} and {{user_name}} are optional in headers. Primary purpose of these variables:
|
||||
- {{date}} - Gives agent current date awareness (not confused with training cutoff)
|
||||
- {{user_name}} - Optional author attribution
|
||||
- {{communication_language}} - NOT for document output! Tells agent how to communicate during execution
|
||||
|
||||
5. Follow naming conventions from guide:
|
||||
- Use descriptive names: {{primary_user_journey}} not {{puj}}
|
||||
- Snake_case for all variables
|
||||
- Match instruction outputs precisely
|
||||
|
||||
Variable sources as per guide:
|
||||
|
||||
- workflow.yaml config values (user_name, communication_language, date, output_folder)
|
||||
- User input runtime values
|
||||
- Step outputs via <template-output>
|
||||
- System variables (date, paths)
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>Standard config variables in templates:</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
Templates CAN optionally use these config variables:
|
||||
|
||||
- {{user_name}} - Document author (optional)
|
||||
- {{date}} - Generation date (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
IMPORTANT: {{communication_language}} is NOT for document headers!
|
||||
|
||||
- Purpose: Tells agent how to communicate with user during workflow execution
|
||||
- NOT for: Document output language or template headers
|
||||
- Future: {{document_output_language}} will handle multilingual document generation
|
||||
|
||||
These variables are automatically available from workflow.yaml config block.
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>Save location:</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
- Write to {{output_folder}}/template.md
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="7" goal="Create validation checklist" optional="true">
|
||||
Ask if user wants a validation checklist. If yes:
|
||||
|
||||
Load and use the template at: {template_checklist}
|
||||
|
||||
Create checklist.md following guide best practices:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Make criteria MEASURABLE and SPECIFIC
|
||||
❌ "- [ ] Good documentation"
|
||||
✅ "- [ ] Each function has JSDoc comments with parameters and return types"
|
||||
|
||||
2. Group checks logically:
|
||||
- Structure: All sections present, no placeholders, proper formatting
|
||||
- Content Quality: Clear and specific, technically accurate, consistent terminology
|
||||
- Completeness: Ready for next phase, dependencies documented, action items defined
|
||||
|
||||
3. Include workflow-specific validations based on type:
|
||||
- Document workflows: Template variables mapped, sections complete
|
||||
- Action workflows: Actions clearly defined, error handling specified
|
||||
- Interactive: User prompts clear, decision points documented
|
||||
|
||||
4. Add final validation section with issue lists
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>Save location:</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
- Write to {{output_folder}}/checklist.md
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="8" goal="Create supporting files" optional="true">
|
||||
Ask if any supporting data files are needed:
|
||||
- CSV files with data
|
||||
- Example documents
|
||||
- Reference materials
|
||||
|
||||
If yes, create placeholder files or copy from templates.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="9" goal="Test and validate workflow">
|
||||
Review the created workflow:
|
||||
|
||||
**Basic Validation:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify all file paths are correct
|
||||
2. Check variable names match between files
|
||||
3. Ensure step numbering is sequential
|
||||
4. Validate YAML syntax
|
||||
5. Confirm all placeholders are replaced
|
||||
|
||||
**Standard Config Validation:**
|
||||
|
||||
6. Verify workflow.yaml contains standard config block:
|
||||
|
||||
- config_source defined
|
||||
- output_folder, user_name, communication_language pulled from config
|
||||
- date set to system-generated
|
||||
|
||||
7. Check instructions use config variables where appropriate
|
||||
8. Verify template includes config variables in metadata (if document workflow)
|
||||
|
||||
**YAML/Instruction/Template Alignment:**
|
||||
|
||||
9. Cross-check all workflow.yaml variables against instruction usage:
|
||||
|
||||
- Are all yaml variables referenced in instructions.md OR template.md?
|
||||
- Are there hardcoded values that should be variables?
|
||||
- Do template variables match <template-output> tags in instructions?
|
||||
|
||||
10. Identify any unused yaml fields (bloat detection)
|
||||
|
||||
Show user a summary of created files and their locations.
|
||||
Ask if they want to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Test run the workflow
|
||||
- Make any adjustments
|
||||
- Add additional steps or features
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="9b" goal="Configure web bundle (optional)">
|
||||
<ask>Will this workflow need to be deployable as a web bundle? [yes/no]</ask>
|
||||
|
||||
If yes:
|
||||
<action>Explain web bundle requirements:</action>
|
||||
|
||||
- Web bundles are self-contained and cannot use config_source variables
|
||||
- All files must be explicitly listed in web_bundle_files
|
||||
- File paths use bmad/ root (not {project-root})
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Configure web_bundle section in workflow.yaml:</action>
|
||||
|
||||
1. Copy core workflow metadata (name, description, author)
|
||||
2. Convert all file paths to bmad/-relative paths:
|
||||
- Remove {project-root}/ prefix
|
||||
- Remove {config_source} references (use hardcoded values)
|
||||
- Example: "{project-root}/bmad/bmm/workflows/x" → "bmad/bmm/workflows/x"
|
||||
|
||||
3. List ALL referenced files by scanning:
|
||||
|
||||
**Scan instructions.md for:**
|
||||
- File paths in <action> tags
|
||||
- Data files (CSV, JSON, YAML, etc.)
|
||||
- Validation/checklist files
|
||||
- Any <invoke-workflow> calls → must include that workflow's yaml file
|
||||
- Any <goto> tags that reference other workflows
|
||||
- Shared templates or includes
|
||||
|
||||
**Scan template.md for:**
|
||||
- Any includes or references to other files
|
||||
- Shared template fragments
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical: Workflow Dependencies**
|
||||
- If instructions call another workflow, that workflow's yaml MUST be in web_bundle_files
|
||||
- Example: `<invoke-workflow>{project-root}/bmad/core/workflows/x/workflow.yaml</invoke-workflow>`
|
||||
→ Add "bmad/core/workflows/x/workflow.yaml" to web_bundle_files
|
||||
|
||||
4. Create web_bundle_files array with complete list
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
web_bundle:
|
||||
name: '{workflow_name}'
|
||||
description: '{workflow_description}'
|
||||
author: '{author}'
|
||||
instructions: 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/instructions.md'
|
||||
validation: 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/checklist.md'
|
||||
template: 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/template.md'
|
||||
|
||||
# Any data files (no config_source)
|
||||
data_file: 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/data.csv'
|
||||
|
||||
web_bundle_files:
|
||||
- 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/instructions.md'
|
||||
- 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/checklist.md'
|
||||
- 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/template.md'
|
||||
- 'bmad/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/data.csv'
|
||||
# Add every single file referenced anywhere
|
||||
|
||||
# CRITICAL: If this workflow invokes other workflows, use existing_workflows
|
||||
# This signals the bundler to recursively include those workflows' web_bundles
|
||||
existing_workflows:
|
||||
- workflow_variable_name: 'bmad/path/to/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example with existing_workflows:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
web_bundle:
|
||||
name: 'brainstorm-game'
|
||||
description: 'Game brainstorming with CIS workflow'
|
||||
author: 'BMad'
|
||||
instructions: 'bmad/bmm/workflows/brainstorm-game/instructions.md'
|
||||
template: false
|
||||
web_bundle_files:
|
||||
- 'bmad/bmm/workflows/brainstorm-game/instructions.md'
|
||||
- 'bmad/mmm/workflows/brainstorm-game/game-context.md'
|
||||
- 'bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
existing_workflows:
|
||||
- core_brainstorming: 'bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What existing_workflows does:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Tells the bundler this workflow invokes another workflow
|
||||
- Bundler recursively includes the invoked workflow's entire web_bundle
|
||||
- Essential for meta-workflows that orchestrate other workflows
|
||||
- Maps workflow variable names to their bmad/-relative paths
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Validate web bundle completeness:</action>
|
||||
|
||||
- Ensure no {config_source} variables remain
|
||||
- Verify all file paths are listed
|
||||
- Check that paths are bmad/-relative
|
||||
- If workflow uses <invoke-workflow>, add to existing_workflows
|
||||
|
||||
<template-output>web_bundle_config</template-output>
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="10" goal="Document and finalize">
|
||||
<action>Create a brief README for the workflow folder explaining purpose, how to invoke, expected inputs, generated outputs, and any special requirements</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Provide {user_name} with workflow completion summary in {communication_language}:</action>
|
||||
|
||||
- Location of created workflow: {{output_folder}}
|
||||
- Command to run it: `workflow {workflow_name}`
|
||||
- Next steps:
|
||||
- Run the BMAD Method installer to this project location
|
||||
- Select 'Compile Agents (Quick rebuild of all agent .md files)' after confirming the folder
|
||||
- This will compile the new workflow and make it available for use
|
||||
