 | 
						|
## Quick Start
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
# Basic invocation
 | 
						|
workflow create-module
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# With module brief input
 | 
						|
workflow create-module --input module-brief-{name}-{date}.md
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Via BMad Builder
 | 
						|
*create-module
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Workflow Phases
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Phase 1: Concept Definition
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Define module purpose and audience
 | 
						|
- Establish module code (kebab-case) and name
 | 
						|
- Choose category (Domain, Creative, Technical, Business, Personal)
 | 
						|
- Plan component architecture
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Module Brief Integration:**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Auto-detects existing briefs
 | 
						|
- Uses as pre-populated blueprint
 | 
						|
- Accelerates planning phase
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Phase 2: Architecture Planning
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Create directory hierarchy
 | 
						|
- Setup configuration system
 | 
						|
- Define installer structure
 | 
						|
- Establish component folders
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Phase 3: Component Creation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Optional first agent creation
 | 
						|
- Optional first workflow creation
 | 
						|
- Component placeholder generation
 | 
						|
- Integration validation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Phase 4: Installation Setup
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Create install-config.yaml
 | 
						|
- Configure deployment questions
 | 
						|
- Setup installer logic
 | 
						|
- Post-install messaging
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Phase 5: Documentation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Generate comprehensive README
 | 
						|
- Create development roadmap
 | 
						|
- Provide quick commands
 | 
						|
- Document next steps
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Configuration Files
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**install-config.yaml** - Installation questions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
questions:
 | 
						|
  - id: user_name
 | 
						|
    prompt: 'Your name?'
 | 
						|
    default: 'User'
 | 
						|
  - id: output_folder
 | 
						|
    prompt: 'Output location?'
 | 
						|
    default: './output'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**config.yaml** - Generated from user answers during install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
user_name: 'John Doe'
 | 
						|
output_folder: './my-output'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Module Components
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Agents
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Full module agents with workflows
 | 
						|
- Expert agents with sidecars
 | 
						|
- Simple utility agents
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Workflows
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Multi-step guided processes
 | 
						|
- Configuration-driven
 | 
						|
- Web bundle support
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Tasks
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Reusable operations
 | 
						|
- Agent-agnostic
 | 
						|
- Modular components
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Templates
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Document structures
 | 
						|
- Output formats
 | 
						|
- Report templates
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Best Practices
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Planning
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. **Use module-brief workflow first** - Creates comprehensive blueprint
 | 
						|
2. **Define clear scope** - Avoid feature creep
 | 
						|
3. **Plan component interactions** - Map agent/workflow relationships
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Structure
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. **Follow conventions** - Use established patterns
 | 
						|
2. **Keep components focused** - Single responsibility
 | 
						|
3. **Document thoroughly** - Clear README and inline docs
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Development
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. **Start with core agent** - Build primary functionality first
 | 
						|
2. **Create key workflows** - Essential processes before edge cases
 | 
						|
3. **Test incrementally** - Validate as you build
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Installation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. **Minimal config questions** - Only essential settings
 | 
						|
2. **Smart defaults** - Sensible out-of-box experience
 | 
						|
3. **Clear post-install** - Guide users to first steps
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Integration Points
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### With Other Workflows
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
- **create-workflow** - Workflow building
 | 
						|
- **redoc** - Documentation maintenance
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
