Convert Legacy - Validation Checklist
Pre-Conversion Validation
Source Analysis
- Original v4 file(s) fully loaded and parsed
 - Item type correctly identified (agent/template/task/module)
 - All dependencies documented and accounted for
 - No critical content overlooked in source files
 
Conversion Completeness
For Agent Conversions
Content Preservation
- Agent name, id, title, and icon transferred
 - All persona elements mapped to v6 structure
 - All commands converted to v6 menu array (YAML)
 - Dependencies properly referenced or converted
 - Activation instructions adapted to v6 patterns
 
v6 Compliance (YAML Format)
- Valid YAML structure with proper indentation
 - agent.metadata has all required fields (id, name, title, icon, module)
 - agent.persona has all sections (role, identity, communication_style, principles)
 - agent.menu uses proper handlers (workflow, action, exec, tmpl, data)
 - agent.critical_actions array present when needed
 - agent.prompts defined for any action: "#id" references
 - File extension is .agent.yaml (will be compiled to .md later)
 
Best Practices
- Commands use appropriate workflow references instead of direct task calls
 - File paths use {project-root} variables
 - Config values use {config_source}: pattern
 - Agent follows naming conventions (kebab-case for files)
 - ALL paths reference {project-root}/bmad/{{module}}/ locations, NOT src/
 - exec, data, run-workflow commands point to final BMAD installation paths
 
For Template/Workflow Conversions
Content Preservation
- Template metadata (name, description, output) transferred
 - All sections converted to workflow steps
 - Section hierarchy maintained in instructions
 - Variables ({{var}}) preserved in template.md
 - Elicitation points (elicit: true) converted to {project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml
 - Conditional sections preserved with if="" attributes
 - Repeatable sections converted to repeat="" attributes
 
v6 Compliance
- workflow.yaml follows structure from workflow-creation-guide.md
 - instructions.md has critical headers referencing workflow engine
 - Steps numbered sequentially with clear goals
 - Template variables match between instructions and template.md
 - Proper use of XML tags (, , , )
 - File structure follows v6 pattern (folder with yaml/md files)
 
Best Practices
- Steps are focused with single goals
 - Instructions are specific ("Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about")
 - Examples provided where helpful
 - Limits set where appropriate ("3-5 items maximum")
 - Save checkpoints with at logical points
 - Variables use descriptive snake_case names
 
For Task Conversions
Content Preservation
- Task logic fully captured in workflow instructions
 - Execution flow maintained
 - User interaction points preserved
 - Decision trees converted to workflow logic
 - All processing steps accounted for
 - Document generation patterns identified and preserved
 
Type Determination
- Workflow type correctly identified (document/action/interactive/meta)
 - If generates documents, template.md created
 - If performs actions only, marked as action workflow
 - Output patterns properly analyzed
 
v6 Compliance
- Converted to proper workflow format (not standalone task)
 - Follows workflow execution engine patterns
 - Interactive elements use proper v6 tags
 - Flow control uses v6 patterns (goto, check, loop)
 - 1-9 elicitation menus converted to v6 elicitation
 - Critical notices preserved in workflow.yaml
 - YOLO mode converted to appropriate v6 patterns
 
Module-Level Validation
Structure
- Module follows v6 directory structure
 - All components in correct locations:
- Agents in /agents/
 - Workflows in /workflows/
 - Data files in appropriate locations
 
 - Config files properly formatted
 
Integration
- Cross-references between components work
 - Workflow invocations use correct paths
 - Data file references are valid
 - No broken dependencies
 
Technical Validation
Syntax and Format
- YAML files have valid syntax (no parsing errors)
 - XML structures properly formed and closed
 - Markdown files render correctly
 - File encoding is UTF-8
 - Line endings consistent (LF)
 
Path Resolution
- All file paths resolve correctly
 - Variable substitutions work ({project-root}, {installed_path}, etc.)
 - Config references load properly
 - No hardcoded absolute paths (unless intentional)
 
Functional Validation
Execution Testing
- Converted item can be loaded without errors
 - Agents activate properly when invoked
 - Workflows execute through completion
 - User interaction points function correctly
 - Output generation works as expected
 
Behavioral Validation
- Converted item behaves similarly to v4 version
 - Core functionality preserved
 - User experience maintains or improves
 - No functionality regression
 
Documentation and Cleanup
Documentation
- Conversion report generated with all changes
 - Any manual adjustments documented
 - Known limitations or differences noted
 - Migration instructions provided if needed
 
Post-Conversion
- Original v4 files archived (if requested)
 - File permissions set correctly
 - Git tracking updated if applicable
 - User informed of new locations
 
Final Verification
Quality Assurance
- Converted item follows ALL v6 best practices
 - Code/config is clean and maintainable
 - No TODO or FIXME items remain
 - Ready for production use
 
User Acceptance
- User reviewed conversion output
 - User tested basic functionality
 - User approved final result
 - Any user feedback incorporated
